&lt;div&gt;''&amp;quot;Believe in me, for my resolve does not waver, nor can it be fractured.&amp;quot; ~Vailyx the Swifttail''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Caen Jabari''' is a young miqo'te who was found washed ashore in Vesper Bay on the day of the Great Calamity. Caen remembered nothing of his first eleven years, and woke up to a world he did not remember living in. All he had on him, besides the tattered rags that covered his body, were water-logged letters addressed to &amp;quot;Caen&amp;quot; from an older brother &amp;quot;Vailyx&amp;quot; and held together by a pair of violet earrings. Thankfully, the kinder fisherman, Faust Jabari was able to find the young miqo'te and semi-raised the boy to be able to live on his own. After five years, not only has Eorzea changed, but so has the young seeker of the sun.&lt;br /&gt;

'''Machinist''': The youngest Steele brother has always hated and admired the Garlean Empire and their magitek monstrosities while fighting them in the streets of a homeland under siege. After acquiring his first hand cannon, Liam cooperated with the local militia to fight back and end the Garlemald occupation, to little avail. After losing his weapon. all of his friends and fellow freedom fighters in a botched mission, his brothers stole Liam away to lower Eorzea. Even having lost everything, Liam still obsessed over magitek, often claiming that if it were in the hands of the Eorzean Alliance, no one would be able to conquer the realm ever again. Working alongside a garlean defector, Jyrrus, Liam has gathered enough magitek to attempt to create a dreadnought cannon to rain fire from an airship. His obsession led him to even capture a magitek armour, Electroheart, and seize nearly enough parts to create his own pistol. Until all the parts are found, Liam can also rely on his bow and arrow, a skill taught to him by his father back in Ala Mhigo. Liam is best suited in the back of fights but will not show fear if he accidentally winds up in the vanguard. The secret truth is Liam's fear of death, and ranged fighting is the best way to fight for his countrymen and keep the reaper at bay.&lt;br /&gt;

: &amp;lt;font style=&amp;quot;color:#daa520;&amp;quot; size=&amp;quot;3&amp;quot;&amp;gt;■&amp;lt;/font&amp;gt; Leofric Steele - father&lt;br /&gt;
: &amp;lt;font style=&amp;quot;color:#daa520;&amp;quot; size=&amp;quot;3&amp;quot;&amp;gt;■&amp;lt;/font&amp;gt; Marie Steele - mother&lt;br /&gt;
: &amp;lt;font style=&amp;quot;color:#daa520;&amp;quot; size=&amp;quot;3&amp;quot;&amp;gt;■&amp;lt;/font&amp;gt; [[Landon Steele]] and [[Leif Steele]] - older twin brothers&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Being born from a Highlander father and a Midlander mother, it would seem like all the Steele kids would take on more of their mothers features physically. However, their battle prowess from Disciples of War would be undeniably present within all three kids thanks to their father and the training that they had put all of them through. This was done so that the children would be able to protect themselves against the overtaking Garlean Empire when the situation warrants for it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Their father Leofric is a jack-of-all-trades when it comes to Disciples of War. He is proficient in wielding the sword and shield, lances, axes, bow and arrow, daggers, and even bare fists as he is also proficient in close quarter combat. As the Steele kids were growing up, Landon was taught the sword and shield, Leif was taught how to use daggers, and Liam was taught archery. Leofric was a strict teacher to the arts he was teaching the kids in order to ensure that they could survive on their own should they have to fight The Empire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Their mother Marie, however, is a skilled arcanist and healer. Secretly, she was also teaching the healing arts to Landon since, at the time she subliminally introduced it to her children, he seemed to have been the only one who showed any proficiency at it. At first, their father was kept out of the loop from this and he was upset that he didn't know. He would warm up to the idea later on, however, agreeing that there should be at least one of them who knew how to mend and heal wounds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
•Liam boasts a mild athletic build and fair features make up his youthful face. A Jagged tattoo remains on his right cheek as a memento from his guerilla fighting days in Ala Mhigo as apart of the nameless rebellion. His light blond hair and blue eyes complete the rest of his face. Liam does have a case of Heterochromia where one eye is slightly lighter than the other, yet because Liam keeps his hair long, his bangs cover this fact. The youngest Steele is shorter in height than his older twin brothers, something he has resented since childhood. Most of his genes he apparently inherited from his mother instead of his father. More than a few times have strangers thought Liam was a girl at first glance. Mentioning this is dialogue will earn a -10 approval rating from Liam, no matter his relationship with the player.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;padding:10px 15px; background: #daa520;font-size:14px;color:#000000;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Personality&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
•People who are introduced to or meet Liam for the first time will first off notice that the man lacks social graces. Often coming across as blunt, rude, and sometimes offensive, especially to non-hyurs, Liam does and says what he wants to anyone regardless of stature. Pugnacious by nature and the first to audibly scoff at something he finds distasteful, the Ala Mhigan is also well acquainted with sudden tavern and street brawls which he either instigated or found himself in the middle of after saying the wrong thing to another. Liam finds that life is best lived at arms length from people anyway. Acquaintances are only strangers who now have an easier time to stab one in the back and friends will only cause you grief and sorrow when they leave you. This belief was brought to life after Liam lost all of his friends of the nameless rebellion back home.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While he did eventually open himself up after coming to Eorzea and meeting a special person with beautiful green eyes, the youngest Steel closed himself up again after his special friend vanished; with Liam thinking him killed. Even though his green-eyed lover eventually reappeared, Liam refuses to allow himself to get close to another person and sabotages his own relationship with friends and family alike to maintain his solitary life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;padding:10px 15px; background: #daa520;font-size:14px;color:#000000;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Biography&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
•Born William Steele, Liam was once a cheerful, albeit, wild boy who grew up with his brothers and parents in Garlemald-occupied Ala Mhigo. Playing the part of the annoying little brother who knocked his brother's blocks across the floor and blamed it on someone else, Liam enjoyed a brief and happy childhood, considering the state of the city. His mother Maria once recounted that it was the occupation that made her son so cold, but in her wisdom, she understood why Liam acted as he did.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Liam refuses to go into detail over how he met Dagon and the nameless rebellion. After the youngest Steele pushed away the teachings of his father, whom he deliberately antagonized, Liam took it upon himself to be around Dagon as much as he could. Liam believed that this man and his nameless rebellion would free Ala Mhigo from the Garlean invaders. At first, Dagon would only allow Liam to watch and observe the brawls that the group had with the imperial soldiers because of Liam's young age. As the boy grew older and began to fight himself, Dagon allowed Liam to &amp;quot;officially&amp;quot; join the fighters. Liam learned how to fight with both his fists and small knives, but his style of fighting changed forever after he obtained a working magitek pistol from the corpse of a soldier. At first, the firearm was too heavy to aim from afar, and Liam attached a thin bayonet on the end of the gun barrel which he would stab into a soldier's armour before firing. His ability to move lightly on his feet proved effective and his swiftness in the middle of combat gave him the ability to obtain a kill shot with only a single bullet for each opponent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Everything changed however, when the group was ambushed in a warehouse by Garlean soldiers. Confusion and panic amidst gunfire and screaming made quick work of the nameless rebellion. Liam was only pulled away at the last moment by his brothers, Leif and Landon who had bags packed. Taking advantage of the chaos with a kicking and screaming Liam in tow, the brothers escaped Ala Mhigo and made for southern Eorzea.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since then, Liam has had a cold look at the world, being wary of who he talks to and often wondering of their hidden agenda when they offer him kindness. There was one person Liam met who made him feel happy for the first time if a long time... but after thinking them dead for a moon, he has kept to himself and his small workshop in Ul'dah filled with scavenged magitek.&lt;br /&gt;

'''Romance:''' ''Liam is a romance option for a male character of any race. If the player is miqo'te, Liam will start the relationship with a +15 affection rating.''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Liam will often boast about his lone-wolf mercenary life and that he doesn't need friends or lovers to make him happy. This is because of the tragedy before he left Ala Mhigo, where his entire group of friends and his mentor were killed in a Garlean ambush. Never wanting to experience the pain of losing someone close to him, Liam has decided to keep himself at arms length from the people he meets. Always wondering of the motives of a kind stranger, he always formulates a defensive strategy before shaking hands with a new &amp;quot;friend&amp;quot;. The cool but rude Ala Mhigan native says what he wants, often coming across offensive and bratty. This works in Liam's favour, however, as he can still mingle as he likes without worrying of making attachments. That being known, the young mercenary does suffer from his lonely nights and an experienced charmer could find Liam coming out of his shell. Additionally, for people not interested in romance, dealing with Liam's attitude will make a loyal friend out of him.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;''&amp;quot;Believe in me, for my resolve does not waver, nor can it be fractured.&amp;quot; ~Vailyx the Swifttail''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Caen Jabari''' is a young miqo'te who was found washed ashore in Vesper Bay on the day of the Great Calamity. Caen remembered nothing of his first eleven years, and woke up to a world he did not remember living in. All he had on him, besides the tattered rags that covered his body, were water-logged letters addressed to &amp;quot;Caen&amp;quot; from an older brother &amp;quot;Vailyx&amp;quot; and held together by a pair of violet earrings. Thankfully, the kinder fisherman, Faust Jabari was able to find the young miqo'te and semi-raised the boy to be able to live on his own. After five years, not only has Eorzea changed, but so has the young seeker of the sun.&lt;br /&gt;

===Appearance===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;You may be Ul'dah's desert canary, but you bear the heart of the phoenix, Caen.  You can always reignite and fly again.&amp;quot;'' ~Tiergan Vashir&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caen sports a wide-eyed, youthful face with bronzed skin due to living under the desert sun for years. Although he's lived in Ul'dah in the summers he remembers, Caen sports a slight Lominsan accent due to being raised in the city beside the Rhotano. His eyes are a bright amber and his large canines tend to show when he grins with his teeth. The lad also sports a shaggy mane of royal blue hair that would attempt to curl inwards over his face, yet it is mostly kept covered by a light head-wrapping. On his left cheek, he bears a X-shaped scar. Caen is best well known by his choice of attire; his bright yellow-coloured garb, to show off his love for the sunlight. His favorite articles of clothing usually include loose sarouel and leather boots or crakows. He prefers loose, billowy shirts in lieu of proper button-downs and is prone to sleeve-less vests and sometimes revealing chest pieces.                                                                 &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
===Personality===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:CaenJabari.jpg|left|CaenJabari.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
Caen is wild and carefree making him a perfect candidate for odd jobs through-out Thanalan and Ul'dah herself. A friend to everyone, the boy is cheerful and will rarely hesitate to chat up a stranger. His favorite pastime is residing within ''The Quicksand'' to watch the comings and goings of adventurers, occasionally prodding them for tales of their adventures outside the desert. This inspired him to finally leave Ul'dah to experience adventures of his own. Prone to mischief and hardly watching where he steps, Caen often finds himself in troublesome situations and relies on his quick-thinking and unorthodox methods of survival. The miqo'te is always in high-spirits and is at his best around friends, to whom he is very loyal.&lt;br /&gt;

==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;font-size:40px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Martial Arts&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
===Fighting Style===&lt;br /&gt;
::*Caen is naturally gifted with hand-to-hand combat, but is clumsy as a toddler when it comes to a sword. During his childhood in Limsa Lominsa, he was often made fun of for his Hyuran name, which led to many street brawls with the local bullies. He taught himself how to punch, kick, and dodge out of attacks when overwhelmed, becoming effective at fighting many targets at once.&lt;br /&gt;
::*When his brother Vailyx began to take up the art of the Lance, Caen naturally went out and carved his own pole-arm out of a fallen tree branch to teach himself to do that as well, desiring skills better than his perfect brother. Vailyx was never to busy to show Caen up and belittle the boy on his flawed techniques, yet managed to teach him proper form over the course of three years. By berating his younger brother on what not to do, he effectively taught him how to use the lance as an extension of his arm. And although Caen was never old enough to leave Limsa and study the lance abroad, Vailyx was secretly proud of Caen.&lt;br /&gt;
::*Caen continued to pave his way through the Thanalan with his fists after he had awoken from losing his memory. After saving his foster-father, Faust, from a yarzon swarm a month after awakening, he took Caen  to the Pugilist's Guild within Ul'dah, where the boy would hone his skills. While mostly his training pertained of running errands for the Holyfist, Hamon, Caen did occasionally teach himself a less-clumsy fighting style after watching the students spar.&lt;br /&gt;
::*Caen often speaks of how beautiful and interesting he believes swords to be, but he cannot properly wield one on his own. When he does, he finds the blade &amp;quot;rejecting&amp;quot; him. Still he finds them incredibly intriguing.&lt;br /&gt;
::*Recently, the yellow-clad miqo'te has shown an impressive form using twin daggers. His agility from his training under Hamon and acrobatic nature have benefitted him greatly in close-quarters combat.&lt;br /&gt;

===Aliases/Nicknames===&lt;br /&gt;
::* '''Canary''': After many attempts to get the lonely adventurer Sarisa Clementine to smile, Caen finally succeeded after singing a ballad to her one morning. She smiled for the first time in two years, since Carteneau, and called him her Canary. It has become a rare nickname for Caen, as few know of it, yet he will cherish it forever. It was also a name called to him by his mother, V'ira, when she taught him to sing as a child.&lt;br /&gt;
::* '''Chocobo''': Called this by his close friends, Caen is often compared to the yellow flightless bird of Eorzea, due to his bright yellow choice of clothing.&lt;br /&gt;
::* '''Blue Wolf''': Only the residents of Vesper Bay would call Caen by such. Once when he was skinny-dipping in the Bay, a group of bullies thought it would be funny to steal his clothes. Stark-naked, Caen stealthily tried to make it back to Faust's house to no avail, as the streets were rather crowded. He soon came across a pail of blue paint, and, seeing it as his only option, dumped it all over himself. He would then dart through the streets, on all fours, to Faust's home, terrifying the citizenry who lay sight to the &amp;quot;Blue Wolf Monster&amp;quot;. After Faust explained the truth to everyone to avoid panic, it became a running gag within the small town's residents.&lt;br /&gt;

::* Older Brother: Vailyx the Swifttail, ''missing in action''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Foster Father: Faust Jabari, A hyuran fisherman and resident of Vesper Bay. He was fishing off the coast of Crescent Cove when he noticed a small boy clinging to a large piece of driftwood in the sea. He became Caen's foster father, and attempted to teach Caen the ways of the world the boy had forgotten about.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Cousin: '''[[Tiergan Vashir]]''', One of Caen's only living blood-relatives. Since he learned that Caen is his long-lost cousin, Teigan is fiercely protective of the lad, trying to be the brother Vailyx would have been to Caen. Caen loves his cousin dearly, and often tries to act out to make the older miqo'te proud of him. Caen, unbeknownst to Tiergan, would often stalk his cousin in order to study him and adopt his mannerisms. Still, much of Tiergan's past is a mystery to Caen, as the boy is unsure whether it is inappropriate to ask. Even still, friends often mistake Tiergan and Caen for brothers, and the two would go along with it, as Caen feels that Tiergan is a great older brother, in Vailyx's absence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Cousin: '''[[Lurial Vashir]]''', One of Caen's only living blood-relatives. Luri was able to track down the youngest son of her aunt V'ira to the streets of Ul'dah. When she connected the dots, she came to Caen and revealed the truth to him. While Caen hides inner worry of being apart of a family again, he cannot help but feel at home again, in a place where he belongs. Until her recent disappearance, Caen had stayed in her home in the city of Ul'dah... now Caen searches for his cousin hoping to reunite them again as she once did for him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Bodyguard: '''[[Furious Storm]]''', The bodyguard of Lurial Vashir, Caen and &amp;quot;Fury&amp;quot; instantly became best friends when Caen decided to break the shyness between them by bringing the roegadyn a warm apple tart after his first night at Lurial's home. Now the two are basically inseparable, and Caen never forgets to bring the large mute treats from around Thanalan. While he did vanish around the same time as Lurial, he still sends him treats and candy via moogle post, as they can apparently track the roegadyn better than Caen could.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Friends===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caen has had the fortune of meeting all kinds of souls by hanging near ''The Quicksand'' after leaving Vesper Bay when Faust journeyed to Mor Dhona to find his wife, Maria. Some have touched his lives more than others and even after quitting his job serving patrons for Momodi, he still eats most of his meals there and hangs around for a good while after. Being the jewel of the sand, Ul'dah is frequented by many and Caen makes a good attempt to meet them all, offering strangers a friendly flap of his ears and a story exchange to boot.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Chocobos===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen has always had a great affinity for befriending chocobos. He often wished to become a chocobo porter or breeder when he was younger. Some will find he actually talks to them. In moments of stress, the lad will often wander near chocobos and pet/talk to them. Since the birds seem to enjoy his company, many nearby porters or breeders don't mind his presence. It's not entirely sure if Caen wears yellow to display his love for chocobos or for the sun, since he favors both. Yet when asked, he will mention that he might favor chocobos more because you can't hug the sun. He dreams of having a chocobo of his own someday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As of the '''Heavensward''' expansion, Caen befriended a Vath kongamato named Xbalanque. While the boy left his bug friend in Dravania, he promised to return.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Enemies===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caen doesn't have any real enemies that he knows of. He has lived an honest life and cannot hold a grudge to save it. Even when disrespected or belittled by an individual, he is quick to forgive all after sleeping it off, and greets them the next day, cheerful as ever.&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:PeekingCaen.jpg|center|PeekingCaen.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
===Common Rumors===&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;That there is the boy who works at Momodi's place, wiv ol' Naih'ir... the one who's always on them rails. I dunno how'ee does it, but his smile sure brightens up a room!&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;What sort of fool wears such bright yellow? If I wore such on the frontlines, archers would have me dead in seconds. If you ask me, he's just asking for death.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;Such a cutie... but what sort of name is Caen for a miqo'te? Doesn't he respect his own kind?&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moderate Rumors===&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;Shhh, don't stare... that's the boy who was kidnapped. The one by that ruffian Cade... the poor dear must've been so frightened.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot; Hah! Y'know Momodi won't let him drink? Says he's too young fer such things... but I saw him get a good boxin' 'round the ears last time he was sniffin' 'round it! Haw Haw Haw!&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Rare Rumors===&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot; I heard him sing once, yes. It was so beautiful... but so sad. You could almost feel as if there was some pain in his heart... his very soul.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot; Didn't y'know? 'ee can't remember a lick o' who he was b'fore the moon fell them years ago. Poor bloke. Must be lonely, havin' no-one to hold yeh.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;Calls himself the 'errand-tail' of the Sultana... he's the one Raubahn trusts with those letters. Sometimes I wonder what's in them, but it seems he doesn't know himself. Best not to dwell on such things.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;They were carrying the little lad in from the Shroud. You should have heard his breathing; I was so afraid for him. A monster? No... they say it was one of those Warriors. Are even our children unsafe?&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===PC Rumors===&lt;br /&gt;

::* ''&amp;quot;Caen?  That's my younger cousin - honest, brave, and constantly getting into trouble.  He's always working to try and become a 'hero' like the rest of us, but he doesn't seem to realise he's already a strong, courageous spirit.  His elder brother Vailyx would be proud of him...&amp;quot;'' -- [[Tiergan Vashir]]&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;If there should be one person in the entirety of Hydaelyn that I wholeheartedly trust, 'tis Caen.

==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;font-size:40px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;The Story&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:CaenByEdge.jpg|right|CaenByEdge.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
===The Legacy of C'aseen the Poet===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen's father, known as C'aseen the Poet by his brothers in arms, was a monk in the ranks of the Fists of Rhalgr. At a young age, he abandoned his tribe along with his best friend F'une to study the ways of balance and the fist, and later came to unlock his hidden chakra. Although he claimed to be a pacifist, C'aseen yearned for unmatched power so that he could defend his way of life unopposed, whereas F'une was more aggressive, and fully embraced the way of The Destroyer. C'aseen would make a habit of sharing his small wealth with the less fortunate of Ala Mhigo, and aiding in small jobs among the lower class, behind F'une's back. He would thatch holes in roofs, gather game, and pull caravans himself. He was also known by his spouts of poetry that he would preach about the world and life. It was then, he met a woman named V'ira Tarja and fell madly in love with her. Traditions of his kind be damned, he would spend nights singing ballads to her... not knowing she was fighting feelings for him. Eventually they would come together and sire a white-haired boy who V'ira named Vailyx.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Vailyx, the Swifttail of Ala Mhigo===&lt;br /&gt;
Vailyx grew into a wild-cat like his mother, yet bore the confidence of his father. Fond of all manner of mischief, he grew up alongside his best friend and cousin Tiergan Vashir. Along with Tiergan's sister Lurial, the trio would cast bouts of chaos among the lower levels of Ala Mhigo. Dodoes would suddenly find their pens opened and run through the streets, food from merchant stalls would go missing, and there was even one incident when the three road atop a chocobo taken back from a corrupt tax collector for their neighbor, who was struggling to make ends meet. Vailyx was always there to save his friends from peril, coming out with a bloody nose and a few other bruises; his trade-mark fanged smirk not wavering. He named himself the ''Swifttail'' of Ala Mhigo, claiming it was a title bestowed by the Twelve for his cunning and speed, but in truth, he merely thought it sounded cool and intimidating. At one point, he even dyed his long, white hair into a bright red colour, so that he would look like a fiery comet as he rushed through the streets and rooftops. Their childhood was happy... but it was not to last.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Escape from Ala Mhigo===&lt;br /&gt;
Vailyx was eight years old when the Empire lay waste to Ala Mhigo in their campaign to take over Eorzea. F'une attempted to sneak C'aseen and his family onto a refugee caravan, fleeing the city amongst the chaos. This act cost F'une his life, but ensured his comrade's safety. V'ira's family lost or missing, C'aseen thought it would be best to take his family far from Ala Mhigo and start over, eventually booking them a passage to Limsa Lominsa, the entire journey from Ala Mhigo to Limsa taking two years. It would be there that V'ira bore another child, a small blue-haired boy with amber eyes named Caen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Caen, The Amber Dawn===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen's childhood in Limsa Lominsa was a rather happy one. C'aseen sought to join the ranks of the Maelstrom, the Grand Company of Limsa, and Vailyx sought to become a warrior like his father. This left Caen alone most of the time, when he was able to wander off without V'ira. Caen was the representation of a new and happy life for the four, and a hope for the future. As Caen grew older, he adopted a mixture of his family traits. While his mischief wasn't as grand as Vailyx's schemes back in Ala Mhigo, they often led to street brawls with the local bullies who beat Caen, as he was a miqo'te with the hyuran name. During the brawls, many of the &amp;quot;bullies&amp;quot; came to like the boy, as the miqo'te never fought as if he was fighting for his life and instead fighting for the fun of it. It became clear that it was difficult to become enemies with the boy, and most of his hyran adversaries turned into good friends or friendly rivals. When he wasn't tussling in the lower decks, Caen would climb to the higher towers of Limsa, looking out at the sea to watch his father fish, and see ships come in to port. He came to know almost everyone, as he was quite nosey, and always was willing to lend a helping hand to a downtrodden stranger. V'ira would teach the young kitten to sing, to aid him in his quest to make all strangers happy, but not without warning the boy of the dangers of the world.&lt;br /&gt;
By the time Caen grew to his ninth year, he was already a thorn in his older brother's side. Constantly trying to show Vailyx up was a favorite pastime of his, while Vailyx had grown cold by comparison, still mourning the deaths of his two best friends Tiergan and Lurial. He was well on his way to becoming worthy enough to study in the ways of a Dragoon, which Caen would lovingly attempt to mimic. By Caen's tenth year, Vailyx has sought to forgive himself for not being able to save Tiergan and Lurial, seeing much of his younger self in Caen, who would bring light and joy to his terrible sorrow and cast it aside. For the first time, Caen was able to break through his older brother's cold exterior, and the brothers would bond happily for the next year. Another year passed... and with it, the Grand Companies of Eorzea prepared to meet Nael Van Darnus's VIIth Legion on the fields of Carteneau.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Cruelty of Fate===&lt;br /&gt;
C'aseen and Vailyx had made up their minds to fight alongside the Maelstrom forces at Carteneau. Yet, as Dalamud had lowered closer to Eorzea, Vailyx feared that the battle would not be won, and urged V'ira to take Caen on a ship and flee the continent. Caen took this terribly, and took up his practice lance, trying to fight Vailyx to let him go with them. Vailyx, out of options, slashed the practice lance in half and cut his brother across the cheek in an attempt to make his brother hate him, so that he wouldn't want to join them at Carteneau. Caen, now sporting a nasty cross-shaped wound, flung himself at his brother, understanding his fears and embracing him one last time. Vailyx would hand his mother letters to Caen, and, embracing them one last time, rushed off to join C'aseen at the battle. Caen and V'ira were able to get passage to a ship heading for another continent with other refugees, yet as Dalamud drew ever closer, the captain of their ship, Kruz Rosgaldornyn, revealed his ugly plot to turn the ship towards Ul'dah, and sell everyone aboard as slaves into the Ul'dahn underground black market. Kruz would attempt to seize V'ira and have his way with the miqo'te woman before they arrived, but Caen begged and pleaded him to release her, offering his own life in exchange. A twisted being, Kruz agreed, and took the young lad to his quarters, where he tortured the boy for making him look weak in front of his crew. As the beating grew worse, Caen could not take it anymore and bit the man's ear off. Enraged, Kruz tied the boy down and prepared to cut Caen's tail off. Before the blow was struck, V'ira burst down the door, stunning Kruz with a glass bottle to the face and released Caen. As they rushed to a lifeboat, the waves grew restless and aggressive, and the skies turned violent. Flares rained down from the sky, flinging themselves into the deep ocean. Amidst the chaos, V'ira removed her violet earrings and wrapped them around Vailyx's letters, tucking them into Caen's jacket. She embraced her son for the last time, and the ship was hit by one of Bahamut's flares. Caen was thrust into the air along with debris from the ship, the bodies of refugees, and V'ira. He reached for her, in an attempt to fly towards her again, and screamed her name, just as she was engulfed by flames. Caen hit the water with a terrible force... and fell into the abyss of his mind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Awakening to Null===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen awoke to a warm bed, in the small home of Faust Jabari, a fisherman in Vesper Bay. He had been asleep for nearly a week. When Faust asked the boy his name, the boy could not recall. In fact he knew not who he was, nor where he was... nor why Faust had no tail when the lad had one. Faust attempted to look through the letters Caen had washed ashore with, yet they were almost too water-logged to read. All he could make out is they were addressed to &amp;quot;Caen&amp;quot;... from someone named Vailyx. Taking a shot in the dark, Faust would return Caen's name to him, and gift the lost miqo'te with that of his own surname, &amp;quot;Jabari&amp;quot; until his memories returned. Caen was timid and shy around the other kids in Vesper, while many of them were around their eleventh year, as he was, he felt terrified to be around people. His days were spent trying to piece together who he was, and his nightmares were plagued by a vision of his chasing a red-haired knight with a lance into a blinding horizon, yet he could never catch them. It wasn't until Faust took Caen along with him to trade his wares at Ul'dah, did remnants of himself return.&lt;br /&gt;
Faust briefly left Caen with Momodi of ''The Quicksand'' while he went to trade his wares at market. It was then that Caen witnessed the sorrow of a beautiful lady named Sarisa Clementine. A band of adventurers, her comrades tried anything they could to get her to find hope that her lover had survived the Battle Of Carteneau, but she would turn them away. Caen was overcome with a need to make her smile, and approached her, initiating conversation. Sarisa was so shocked that a mysterious boy would just walk up and chat with her, that she obliged. The two would meet at ''The Quicksand'' and talk often, about Caen's missing memories, and of Sarisa and her love for her fiancee, Lieru. And one day, Caen sang to her... a ballad conjured from the depths of his mind... and for the first time in a long time, she smiled. It was then that Caen decided, it was smiles like hers he wanted to one day protect. And he would be the light in the darkness for those who had lost their own. He dreamt of a world without sorrow, without war or bloodshed, and became determined to become strong enough to herald the arrival of such a world.&lt;br /&gt;
==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;font-size:40px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;After Meteor&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:RainyCaen.jpg|left|RainyCaen.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
===Five Years Later... (2.0)===&lt;br /&gt;
After convincing Faust to journey to Mor Dhona and find his wife Maria, Caen had sang in the streets of Ul'dah for gil, while also finding an opportunity to become a messenger bearing secret letters for groups that would not like to see them taken from moogles. It was Naih'ir Molkot and Momodi of ''The Quicksand'' that would offer Caen a real job, washing dishes and serving the patrons of the inn. During this time, Caen would also find habit of &amp;quot;perching&amp;quot; atop the rails of the room, conversing with strangers and getting them to detail their adventures outside the desert, having no memory of the world beyond. Caen still yearns for a place to call home once again, and prays that the Twelve might offer a hint as to why his memory was taken from him. Still, he wields a confident smirk and a bright yellow attire, in a hope to be a light for everyone and make them smile...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Brave New Realm (2.1)===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen could say his life changed when he met a group of adventurers in the Quicksand. The first man was a Dragoon named Artorias Mason. At first the Huyr was a marvel to behold, capable of endless feats and even more knowledge. He had had everything... and lost it all to the Empire. He was an inspiration... yet darkness existed in the mans heart having lost all he held dear. He denied the Gods existence and placed Caen's undying faith to the Twelve among the ranks of the pathetic; an event that shook the boy to his core and giving him doubt for the first time.  During a trip out to Crescent Cove, Caen and Artorias run in with Garrett Slater, a free-paladin in training. Caen shows them both a crashed Garlean vessel, rusted and long-dead, when they are attacked by a giant yarzon. After defeating the vilekin, Garrett and Artorias meet in private when Caen is suddenly caught in a Garlean ambush. In a narrow victory, the group is able to flee towards Ul'dah to return Caen to the Quicksand. The following day, Caen was approached by a woman named Kelvena, who searches for her father Ikus and his mercenary company Lost Rogues. When she finds out that Caen has never been outside Ul'dah, she, Artorias, and Garrett decide to take the boy to Limsa Lominsa. There, it is revealed that Artorias plans to kill himself after fighting the primals and defeating Gaius von Baelsar. Although Caen pleads with him, Artorias' mind is made up and he eventually leaves. It is then that Kelvena and Garrett take Caen to Gridania... where Caen visits the Lancer's Guild and finds the Last Letter of the Swifttail. These last written words of his older brother, Vailyx ensure that Caen really is Caen, and that he should continue to live his own life as his father and mother had wanted. Still wishing he could remember his family, Caen tries to find solace among his new friends. Artorias senses the boy's strife and bids Kelvena look after Caen like an older sister.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Shards of the Forsaken (2.2)===&lt;br /&gt;
One night, Caen began hearing voices in his head, including images and emotions felt by people he didn't know. This led him to run off into the Gold Court unable to control his own pain. Garrett, Kelvena, and Artorias would try to help Caen... only to be approached by two enigmatic miqo'te. Tiergan Vashir and An'nai came to find Caen, but after Artorias threatened Tiergan, the miqo'te let slip that Caen may, in fact have a shard within him, allowing him to tap into latent power and talk with others over long distances. It was only after Caen got his control over his emotions that Brynhilde Wulf appeared before the lad. After inspecting the boy, she made it clear to everyone that he was not one of the shard bearers... but in his mind, Caen could hear her saying something different. He was a shard-bearer... and a rune slowly affixed itself above Caen's heart.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sand and Snow (2.3/2.4)===&lt;br /&gt;
It was the day when Caen was waiting to be deployed with a handful of other new Flame cadets to the Sagolii desert. The information broker, Lurial Vashir found Caen first and told him the truth. His family was still alive, and his older cousins had survived the moonfall five years ago. Shocked, the miqo'te boy grew quickly attached to both Lurial and Tiergan.&lt;br /&gt;
Caen's Flame deployment also ended quickly, as sand worms attacked the site of the training grounds. With the telepathic assistance from afar through the link, Caen was able to drag the soldier caravan and a few survivors back to Ul'dah. Caen was granted a scout position, which was limited to parcel and supply delivery, if only for the boy's speed and diligence.&lt;br /&gt;
The dark hood of the Entudenin reared its head and began to attack shard-bearers, Caen included. At one point, Caen was pushed off of the high walls of Coerthas by a dark agent of the Entudenin. The boy was paralyzed from the waist down and after three days, was found by Tiergan, who had to fight past two agents to rescue his cousin. Caen was taken to the Shroud for extensive healing and afterwards, found himself hiding from the shard-bearer headquarters, afraid of being attacked by another of the dark hoods.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Taken (2.55)===&lt;br /&gt;
As the moon cycled around the world over and over, Caen took up his old errand-tail ways by delivering letters for different people in Ul'dah, and occasionally the other nations of Eorzea. However, due to the sensitive information he unwittingly carried, he was made a target by the Syndicate agents after he was seen handing over letters addressed to the Sultana. On the night where the Eorzean Alliance were greeting the ambassadors from Ishgard, fighting began to break out in the city. Caen was chased by a few of the brass blades through the Gold Court, and nearly made it to the Royal Promenade, where he was knocked out by an ambush. Caen was imprisoned, and then sold into a slave ring with the rest of the prisoners that sat in the Ul'dahn cells. &lt;br /&gt;
==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;font-size:40px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Heavensward&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:CaenBard.jpg|left|CaenBard.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
=== These Eyes of Mine (3.1)===&lt;br /&gt;
It was soon discovered that Caen had been sold to an illegal gladiator ring where slaves were matched against each other for fictional lands and titles in a game played by the nobility of Ul'dah. The boy was forced to surrender his self-made vows to never take a life, as some fights in the ring were kill or be killed. His only possessions were a wicked pair of twin daggers that he was taught to use by another fellow slave named Yae. After numerous attempts to escape and push letters from windows, Lurial Vashir and a number of brave souls, including her brother Tiergan, were able to locate Caen and organized an assault on the ringleader's mansion. Only known as her moniker, &amp;quot;The Woman&amp;quot;, Caen's master threw all of her slaves and guards at the band of rescuers and even drugged Caen and set him upon his former friends. Caen was rendered unconscious during the fight and taken to the Forgotten Springs for healing and rest. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After waking up, Caen felt terrified to meet his cousins and friends again. He perceived his soul and eyes to be stained with the lives he was forced to take during his time as a gladiator. For the time being, he subtly struggles to continue wearing the mask of unbridled happiness just as he did before. The lad now carries a pain in his heart and wonders if he even deserves to live after betraying his promise to never stain his hands with blood. In spite of his inner turmoil, he made preparations to become an adventurer himself and sought employment in Ishgard, recently united with the Eorzean Alliance. Employed as a supply runner for Betelgeuse Bordeaux's Button Shoppe, Caen finds himself working early mornings; running across the realm to spread elaborate buttons to the rest of Eorzea's markets and weaver guilds. The lad spends alot of time in the Quicksand, stashing away his earned gil to fund an expedition to the mysteries of the northern lands where the lost boy hopes to find himself again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Menphina's Blessing (3.2)===&lt;br /&gt;
Shortly after Bordeaux's business really took off, Caen stepped away from the company to focus more on himself. He was plagued by nightmares of the blood he had been forced to spill on the gladiator ring and it seemed that the blood would never wash off. It was around this time, after returning to Ul'dah, he befriended a keeper of the moon named Kiht'a Zajhiri. He and Kiht'a both shared age and a similar pattern in their pasts. After a few meetings, the friendship developed into a young romance. Although Khit'a had expressed his desire to be open with their relationship, even Caen could not deny how fascinated he was with the keeper and spent as much time with Kiht'a as he could. The two did nearly everything together and shared a room in the Goblet for a time. Caen subconsciously felt at home and loved for the first time, feeling his hidden sadness and loneliness drift away. He developed confidence as a mate and wished to become a stronger person for Kiht'a, who was skilled as a hunter. The seeker took it upon himself to practice archery and set his blood-stained daggers aside. Their peace would not last, as a hyur possessed by voidsent stalked the keeper numerous times. Caen attempted to defend him, but found himself injured on numerous occasions. The two practiced caution together, yet the two came to the conclusion that they both needed training in their own martial practices. Both of the miqo'te eventually decided to part their separate ways.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Ballad of the Scarlet Devil (3.3)===&lt;br /&gt;
Deep amidst the Shroud, Caen stalked creatures of the forest, tapping into his hunting instinct as a seeker miqo'te. After a few pelts had been gathered and meat taken, the miqo'te found himself upon a lone lalafel who was strumming a lyre in the most hauntingly beautiful fashion. The notes echoed in Caen's heart and soul and seemed to vibrate every branch in their vicinity. A mist descended around them, and from the small being's lyre, came aetherial light. Without warning, a band of men cloaked in red rushed towards the lalafel. Caen shouted for the lalafel, who stopped playing and readied a bow for battle while Caen fired shots from his own bow from the bushes. The men dead, the enigmatic lalafel introduced himself as Rojiko Tojiko, claiming he was sent from Dravania to stop a ritual that would summon a voidsent lord. He also claimed that his melody lulled disturbed souls back to sleep, for if all of them were to awaken, a terrible darkness would be wrought across the realm. The men in red traveled to several areas of the Shroud corrupting aether, causing discord with the Elementals, and upon chanting an ancient ballad, they hoped to summon Forenzikon the Purge, who would bathe the lands in an azure light, disrupting the Elemental balance forever. Caen did not hesitate to join Rojiko and the two set off to purify the Shroud. Caen explained how he had felt when Rojiko played his melody and the lalafel took notice of Caen's gift for song as they walked together. Before they slept, Rojiko showed the miqo'te how to play the lute, but commented on how Caen could never hope to play with such power without a soulstone. Even still, Caen was happy to learn Rojiko's many tools of the trade: Trick arrows, poison arrowheads, along with a few songs to play, should Caen ever obtain a lute of his own. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Between fending off the red-cloaked men, Rojiko putting disturbed spirits to rest with song, and campfire tales, Caen hardly noticed weeks go by. In was before the final spirit could be laid to rest that the two were ambushed by Coeurlclaw bandits. Outnumbered, Caen and Rojiko were captured and the lalafel was gravely wounded. They begged to be freed as to prevent the voidsent from being awoken and Rojiko, out of desperation, finally persuaded the leader of the band to be able to entertain them all with a song. With a strange magic, the small bard lulled them all to sleep. He and Caen escaped, making great haste to the final resting place. Caen made use of every trick he had been taught, covering Rojiko to his last arrow as the lalafel played his final song. The trees shook as the spirit of the voidsent vanished and upon strumming his last string, Rojiko dropped to his knees. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After dressing each others wounds and enjoying their victory, Rojiko asked Caen to travel back to Dravania with him. Caen agreed, still unbelieving that they had beaten back such a force. The journey was oddly peaceful and upon arriving to the Hinterlands, Rojiko bid Caen goodbye, simply saying where he was going, the miqo'te couldn't follow. He passed his lyre to the lad, making the seeker promise to remember the importance of song and how even something so simple as a melody could take back the night.&lt;br /&gt;

==Character Connections==&lt;br /&gt;
There are an abundance of souls who may have crossed paths with Caen as they live in Eorzea~&lt;br /&gt;
::* Anyone who has lived in Ul'Dah for the last 2-3 years would've seen him working at ''The Quicksand.''&lt;br /&gt;
::* He's also a well-known messenger, running parcels across Thanalan for the past 3 years. It's possible you enlisted his services.&lt;br /&gt;

::* It's possible you have seen him honing his skill in the Pugilist's Guild in Ul'dah.&lt;br /&gt;
::* He may have bugged you about your adventures or asked you if you were alright if you wandered into ''The Quicksand'' looking broody.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Although rare, it is also possible you heard him singing in the streets of Ul'dah. His favorite spots were The Gold Court, near the Thaumaturge's Guild, and the Hustling Strip.&lt;br /&gt;

==Trivia &amp;amp; Misc==&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen will sometimes make subtle references to Final Fantasy IX.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen's songs are Final Fantasy songs given lyrics by Katethegreat19 on Youtube. He will often recall that a mysterious bard taught him these songs. All other songs or ballads are original pieces.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen is unofficially voiced by Antony Del Rio.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen will often be played with techno/dance/hip hop music in the background and his soundtrack depicts songs of this genre. Examples include artists like Imagine Dragons, Eiffel 65, and the soundtrack from the Persona series of games, just to name a few. This is a reference to Vysce's favorite music as a child.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen's desire to &amp;quot;protect everyone's smiles&amp;quot; is a reference to the Kamen Rider series, particularly Kamen Rider OOO.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen's patron deity Azeyma is close to the word Asthma, which Caen's player was temporarily sick with while creating Caen.&lt;br /&gt;
::* All of Caen's family have lighter-colored hair, with him and his father having the only dark hair amongst their relatives.

::* Sarisa and Lieru are from a love-story, rped by Caen's player in ''Guild Wars 2''. Lieru is also the first character he ever created.&lt;br /&gt;

::* Caen is always 100% IC, even when out leveling. SO if you see him, don't hesitate to say hello!&lt;br /&gt;

'''Machinist''': The youngest Steele brother has always hated and admired the Garlean Empire and their magitek monstrosities while fighting them in the streets of a homeland under siege. After acquiring his first hand cannon, Liam cooperated with the local militia to fight back and end the Garlemald occupation, to little avail. After losing his weapon. all of his friends and fellow freedom fighters in a botched mission, his brothers stole Liam away to lower Eorzea. Even having lost everything, Liam still obsessed over magitek, often claiming that if it were in the hands of the Eorzean Alliance, no one would be able to conquer the realm ever again. Working alongside a garlean defector, Jyrrus, Liam has gathered enough magitek to attempt to create a dreadnought cannon to rain fire from an airship. His obsession led him to even capture a magitek armour, Electroheart, and seize nearly enough parts to create his own pistol. Until all the parts are found, Liam can also rely on his bow and arrow, a skill taught to him by his father back in Ala Mhigo. Liam is best suited in the back of fights but will not show fear if he accidentally winds up in the vanguard. The secret truth is Liam's fear of death, and ranged fighting is the best way to fight for his countrymen and keep the reaper at bay.&lt;br /&gt;

: &amp;lt;font style=&amp;quot;color:#daa520;&amp;quot; size=&amp;quot;3&amp;quot;&amp;gt;■&amp;lt;/font&amp;gt; Leofric Steele - father&lt;br /&gt;
: &amp;lt;font style=&amp;quot;color:#daa520;&amp;quot; size=&amp;quot;3&amp;quot;&amp;gt;■&amp;lt;/font&amp;gt; Marie Steele - mother&lt;br /&gt;
: &amp;lt;font style=&amp;quot;color:#daa520;&amp;quot; size=&amp;quot;3&amp;quot;&amp;gt;■&amp;lt;/font&amp;gt; [[Landon Steele]] and [[Leif Steele]] - older twin brothers&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Being born from a Highlander father and a Midlander mother, it would seem like all the Steele kids would take on more of their mothers features physically. However, their battle prowess from Disciples of War would be undeniably present within all three kids thanks to their father and the training that they had put all of them through. This was done so that the children would be able to protect themselves against the overtaking Garlean Empire when the situation warrants for it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Their father Leofric is a jack-of-all-trades when it comes to Disciples of War. He is proficient in wielding the sword and shield, lances, axes, bow and arrow, daggers, and even bare fists as he is also proficient in close quarter combat. As the Steele kids were growing up, Landon was taught the sword and shield, Leif was taught how to use daggers, and Liam was taught archery. Leofric was a strict teacher to the arts he was teaching the kids in order to ensure that they could survive on their own should they have to fight The Empire.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Their mother Marie, however, is a skilled arcanist and healer. Secretly, she was also teaching the healing arts to Landon since, at the time she subliminally introduced it to her children, he seemed to have been the only one who showed any proficiency at it. At first, their father was kept out of the loop from this and he was upset that he didn't know. He would warm up to the idea later on, however, agreeing that there should be at least one of them who knew how to mend and heal wounds.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
•Liam boasts a mild athletic build and fair features make up his youthful face. A Jagged tattoo remains on his right cheek as a memento from his guerilla fighting days in Ala Mhigo as apart of the nameless rebellion. His light blond hair and blue eyes complete the rest of his face. Liam does have a case of Heterochromia where one eye is slightly lighter than the other, yet because Liam keeps his hair long, his bangs cover this fact. The youngest Steele is shorter in height than his older twin brothers, something he has resented since childhood. Most of his genes he apparently inherited from his mother instead of his father. More than a few times have strangers thought Liam was a girl at first glance. Mentioning this is dialogue will earn a -10 approval rating from Liam, no matter his relationship with the player.&lt;br /&gt;

===&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;padding:10px 15px; background: #daa520;font-size:14px;color:#000000;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Personality&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
•People who are introduced to or meet Liam for the first time will first off notice that the man lacks social graces. Often coming across as blunt, rude, and sometimes offensive, especially to non-hyurs, Liam does and says what he wants to anyone regardless of stature. Pugnacious by nature and the first to audibly scoff at something he finds distasteful, the Ala Mhigan is also well acquainted with sudden tavern and street brawls which he either instigated or found himself in the middle of after saying the wrong thing to another. Liam finds that life is best lived at arms length from people anyway. Acquaintances are only strangers who now have an easier time to stab one in the back and friends will only cause you grief and sorrow when they leave you. This belief was brought to life after Liam lost all of his friends of the nameless rebellion back home.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While he did eventually open himself up after coming to Eorzea and meeting a special person with beautiful green eyes, the youngest Steel closed himself up again after his special friend vanished; with Liam thinking him killed. Even though his green-eyed lover eventually reappeared, Liam refuses to allow himself to get close to another person and sabotages his own relationship with friends and family alike to maintain his solitary life.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;padding:10px 15px; background: #daa520;font-size:14px;color:#000000;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Biography&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
•Born William Steele, Liam was once a cheerful, albeit, wild boy who grew up with his brothers and parents in Garlemald-occupied Ala Mhigo. Playing the part of the annoying little brother who knocked his brother's blocks across the floor and blamed it on someone else, Liam enjoyed a brief and happy childhood, considering the state of the city. His mother Maria once recounted that it was the occupation that made her son so cold, but in her wisdom, she understood why Liam acted as he did.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Liam refuses to go into detail over how he met Dagon and the nameless rebellion. After the youngest Steele pushed away the teachings of his father, whom he deliberately antagonized, Liam took it upon himself to be around Dagon as much as he could. Liam believed that this man and his nameless rebellion would free Ala Mhigo from the Garlean invaders. At first, Dagon would only allow Liam to watch and observe the brawls that the group had with the imperial soldiers because of Liam's young age. As the boy grew older and began to fight himself, Dagon allowed Liam to &amp;quot;officially&amp;quot; join the fighters. Liam learned how to fight with both his fists and small knives, but his style of fighting changed forever after he obtained a working magitek pistol from the corpse of a soldier. At first, the firearm was too heavy to aim from afar, and Liam attached a thin bayonet on the end of the gun barrel which he would stab into a soldier's armour before firing. His ability to move lightly on his feet proved effective and his swiftness in the middle of combat gave him the ability to obtain a kill shot with only a single bullet for each opponent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Everything changed however, when the group was ambushed in a warehouse by Garlean soldiers. Confusion and panic amidst gunfire and screaming made quick work of the nameless rebellion. Liam was only pulled away at the last moment by his brothers, Leif and Landon who had bags packed. Taking advantage of the chaos with a kicking and screaming Liam in tow, the brothers escaped Ala Mhigo and made for southern Eorzea.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since then, Liam has had a cold look at the world, being wary of who he talks to and often wondering of their hidden agenda when they offer him kindness. There was one person Liam met who made him feel happy for the first time if a long time... but after thinking them dead for a moon, he has kept to himself and his small workshop in Ul'dah filled with scavenged magitek.&lt;br /&gt;

'''Romance:''' ''Liam is a romance option for a male character of any race. If the player is miqo'te, Liam will start the relationship with a +15 affection rating.''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Liam will often boast about his lone-wolf mercenary life and that he doesn't need friends or lovers to make him happy. This is because of the tragedy before he left Ala Mhigo, where his entire group of friends and his mentor were killed in a Garlean ambush. Never wanting to experience the pain of losing someone close to him, Liam has decided to keep himself at arms length from the people he meets. Always wondering of the motives of a kind stranger, he always formulates a defensive strategy before shaking hands with a new &amp;quot;friend&amp;quot;. The cool but rude Ala Mhigan native says what he wants, often coming across offensive and bratty. This works in Liam's favour, however, as he can still mingle as he likes without worrying of making attachments. That being known, the young mercenary does suffer from his lonely nights and an experienced charmer could find Liam coming out of his shell. Additionally, for people not interested in romance, dealing with Liam's attitude will make a loyal friend out of him.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
'''Caen Jabari''' is a young miqo'te who was found washed ashore in Vesper Bay on the day of the Great Calamity. Caen remembered nothing of his first eleven years, and woke up to a world he did not remember living in. All he had on him, besides the tattered rags that covered his body, were water-logged letters addressed to &amp;quot;Caen&amp;quot; from an older brother &amp;quot;Vailyx&amp;quot; and held together by a pair of violet earrings. Thankfully, the kinder fisherman, Faust Jabari was able to find the young miqo'te and semi-raised the boy to be able to live on his own. After five years, not only has Eorzea changed, but so has the young seeker of the sun.&lt;br /&gt;

Caen sports a wide-eyed, youthful face with bronzed skin due to living under the desert sun for years. Although he's lived in Ul'dah in the summers he remembers, Caen sports a slight Lominsan accent due to being raised in the city beside the Rhotano. His eyes are a bright amber and his large canines tend to show when he grins with his teeth. The lad also sports a shaggy mane of royal blue hair that would attempt to curl inwards over his face, yet it is mostly kept covered by a light head-wrapping. On his left cheek, he bears a X-shaped scar. Caen is best well known by his choice of attire; his bright yellow-coloured garb, to show off his love for the sunlight. His favorite articles of clothing usually include loose sarouel and leather boots or crakows. He prefers loose, billowy shirts in lieu of proper button-downs and is prone to sleeve-less vests and sometimes revealing chest pieces.                                                                 &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
===Personality===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:CaenJabari.jpg|left|CaenJabari.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
Caen is wild and carefree making him a perfect candidate for odd jobs through-out Thanalan and Ul'dah herself. A friend to everyone, the boy is cheerful and will rarely hesitate to chat up a stranger. His favorite pastime is residing within ''The Quicksand'' to watch the comings and goings of adventurers, occasionally prodding them for tales of their adventures outside the desert. This inspired him to finally leave Ul'dah to experience adventures of his own. Prone to mischief and hardly watching where he steps, Caen often finds himself in troublesome situations and relies on his quick-thinking and unorthodox methods of survival. The miqo'te is always in high-spirits and is at his best around friends, to whom he is very loyal.&lt;br /&gt;

===Fighting Style===&lt;br /&gt;
::*Caen is naturally gifted with hand-to-hand combat, but is clumsy as a toddler when it comes to a sword. During his childhood in Limsa Lominsa, he was often made fun of for his Hyuran name, which led to many street brawls with the local bullies. He taught himself how to punch, kick, and dodge out of attacks when overwhelmed, becoming effective at fighting many targets at once.&lt;br /&gt;
::*When his brother Vailyx began to take up the art of the Lance, Caen naturally went out and carved his own pole-arm out of a fallen tree branch to teach himself to do that as well, desiring skills better than his perfect brother. Vailyx was never to busy to show Caen up and belittle the boy on his flawed techniques, yet managed to teach him proper form over the course of three years. By berating his younger brother on what not to do, he effectively taught him how to use the lance as an extension of his arm. And although Caen was never old enough to leave Limsa and study the lance abroad, Vailyx was secretly proud of Caen.&lt;br /&gt;
::*Caen continued to pave his way through the Thanalan with his fists after he had awoken from losing his memory. After saving his foster-father, Faust, from a yarzon swarm a month after awakening, he took Caen  to the Pugilist's Guild within Ul'dah, where the boy would hone his skills. While mostly his training pertained of running errands for the Holyfist, Hamon, Caen did occasionally teach himself a less-clumsy fighting style after watching the students spar.&lt;br /&gt;
::*Caen often speaks of how beautiful and interesting he believes swords to be, but he cannot properly wield one on his own. When he does, he finds the blade &amp;quot;rejecting&amp;quot; him. Still he finds them incredibly intriguing.&lt;br /&gt;
::*Recently, the yellow-clad miqo'te has shown an impressive form using twin daggers. His agility from his training under Hamon and acrobatic nature have benefitted him greatly in close-quarters combat.&lt;br /&gt;

===Aliases/Nicknames===&lt;br /&gt;
::* '''Canary''': After many attempts to get the lonely adventurer Sarisa Clementine to smile, Caen finally succeeded after singing a ballad to her one morning. She smiled for the first time in two years, since Carteneau, and called him her Canary. It has become a rare nickname for Caen, as few know of it, yet he will cherish it forever. It was also a name called to him by his mother, V'ira, when she taught him to sing as a child.&lt;br /&gt;
::* '''Chocobo''': Called this by his close friends, Caen is often compared to the yellow flightless bird of Eorzea, due to his bright yellow choice of clothing.&lt;br /&gt;
::* '''Blue Wolf''': Only the residents of Vesper Bay would call Caen by such. Once when he was skinny-dipping in the Bay, a group of bullies thought it would be funny to steal his clothes. Stark-naked, Caen stealthily tried to make it back to Faust's house to no avail, as the streets were rather crowded. He soon came across a pail of blue paint, and, seeing it as his only option, dumped it all over himself. He would then dart through the streets, on all fours, to Faust's home, terrifying the citizenry who lay sight to the &amp;quot;Blue Wolf Monster&amp;quot;. After Faust explained the truth to everyone to avoid panic, it became a running gag within the small town's residents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;  font-size:30px;  color:#FFFFFF&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Relationships&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
===Family===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Father: C'aseen the Poet, ''deceased''&lt;br /&gt;
::* Mother: V'ira Tarja, ''deceased''&lt;br /&gt;
::* Older Brother: Vailyx the Swifttail, ''missing in action''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Foster Father: Faust Jabari, A hyuran fisherman and resident of Vesper Bay. He was fishing off the coast of Crescent Cove when he noticed a small boy clinging to a large piece of driftwood in the sea. He became Caen's foster father, and attempted to teach Caen the ways of the world the boy had forgotten about.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Cousin: '''[[Tiergan Vashir]]''', One of Caen's only living blood-relatives. Since he learned that Caen is his long-lost cousin, Teigan is fiercely protective of the lad, trying to be the brother Vailyx would have been to Caen. Caen loves his cousin dearly, and often tries to act out to make the older miqo'te proud of him. Caen, unbeknownst to Tiergan, would often stalk his cousin in order to study him and adopt his mannerisms. Still, much of Tiergan's past is a mystery to Caen, as the boy is unsure whether it is inappropriate to ask. Even still, friends often mistake Tiergan and Caen for brothers, and the two would go along with it, as Caen feels that Tiergan is a great older brother, in Vailyx's absence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Cousin: '''[[Lurial Vashir]]''', One of Caen's only living blood-relatives. Luri was able to track down the youngest son of her aunt V'ira to the streets of Ul'dah. When she connected the dots, she came to Caen and revealed the truth to him. While Caen hides inner worry of being apart of a family again, he cannot help but feel at home again, in a place where he belongs. Until her recent disappearance, Caen had stayed in her home in the city of Ul'dah... now Caen searches for his cousin hoping to reunite them again as she once did for him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Bodyguard: '''[[Furious Storm]]''', The bodyguard of Lurial Vashir, Caen and &amp;quot;Fury&amp;quot; instantly became best friends when Caen decided to break the shyness between them by bringing the roegadyn a warm apple tart after his first night at Lurial's home. Now the two are basically inseparable, and Caen never forgets to bring the large mute treats from around Thanalan. While he did vanish around the same time as Lurial, he still sends him treats and candy via moogle post, as they can apparently track the roegadyn better than Caen could.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Friends===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caen has had the fortune of meeting all kinds of souls by hanging near ''The Quicksand'' after leaving Vesper Bay when Faust journeyed to Mor Dhona to find his wife, Maria. Some have touched his lives more than others and even after quitting his job serving patrons for Momodi, he still eats most of his meals there and hangs around for a good while after. Being the jewel of the sand, Ul'dah is frequented by many and Caen makes a good attempt to meet them all, offering strangers a friendly flap of his ears and a story exchange to boot.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
((friend's list coming soon T-T))&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Chocobos===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen has always had a great affinity for befriending chocobos. He often wished to become a chocobo porter or breeder when he was younger. Some will find he actually talks to them. In moments of stress, the lad will often wander near chocobos and pet/talk to them. Since the birds seem to enjoy his company, many nearby porters or breeders don't mind his presence. It's not entirely sure if Caen wears yellow to display his love for chocobos or for the sun, since he favors both. Yet when asked, he will mention that he might favor chocobos more because you can't hug the sun. He dreams of having a chocobo of his own someday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As of the '''Heavensward''' expansion, Caen befriended a Vath kongamato named Xbalanque. While the boy left his bug friend in Dravania, he promised to return.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Enemies===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caen doesn't have any real enemies that he knows of. He has lived an honest life and cannot hold a grudge to save it. Even when disrespected or belittled by an individual, he is quick to forgive all after sleeping it off, and greets them the next day, cheerful as ever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:PeekingCaen.jpg|center|PeekingCaen.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
===Common Rumors===&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;That there is the boy who works at Momodi's place, wiv ol' Naih'ir... the one who's always on them rails. I dunno how'ee does it, but his smile sure brightens up a room!&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;What sort of fool wears such bright yellow? If I wore such on the frontlines, archers would have me dead in seconds. If you ask me, he's just asking for death.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;Such a cutie... but what sort of name is Caen for a miqo'te? Doesn't he respect his own kind?&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moderate Rumors===&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;Shhh, don't stare... that's the boy who was kidnapped. The one by that ruffian Cade... the poor dear must've been so frightened.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot; Hah! Y'know Momodi won't let him drink? Says he's too young fer such things... but I saw him get a good boxin' 'round the ears last time he was sniffin' 'round it! Haw Haw Haw!&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;That little shite ate all my fish! Orphans... hate their scum!&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Rare Rumors===&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot; I heard him sing once, yes. It was so beautiful... but so sad. You could almost feel as if there was some pain in his heart... his very soul.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot; Didn't y'know? 'ee can't remember a lick o' who he was b'fore the moon fell them years ago. Poor bloke. Must be lonely, havin' no-one to hold yeh.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;Calls himself the 'errand-tail' of the Sultana... he's the one Raubahn trusts with those letters. Sometimes I wonder what's in them, but it seems he doesn't know himself. Best not to dwell on such things.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;They were carrying the little lad in from the Shroud. You should have heard his breathing; I was so afraid for him. A monster? No... they say it was one of those Warriors. Are even our children unsafe?&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===PC Rumors===&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;You know he's a kind little guy, he'll just brush it off until he really gets hurt. I'm gonna find Art asleep someplace and stab him between the ribs. See how he likes it.&amp;quot;'' -- [[Augustine Frost]]&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;Caen?  That's my younger cousin - honest, brave, and constantly getting into trouble.  He's always working to try and become a 'hero' like the rest of us, but he doesn't seem to realise he's already a strong, courageous spirit.  His elder brother Vailyx would be proud of him...&amp;quot;'' -- [[Tiergan Vashir]]&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;If there should be one person in the entirety of Hydaelyn that I wholeheartedly trust, 'tis Caen. For being as young as he is, he has never failed to make me smile and make me see the best in things. If there is someone I am willing to die for, Caen would be the one.&amp;quot;'' -- [[Garrett Slater]]&lt;br /&gt;

Can't say I've seen the lad for a few days now, though.'' &amp;lt;/font&amp;gt; -an anonymous note scrawled in charcoal&lt;br /&gt;

==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;font-size:40px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;The Story&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:CaenByEdge.jpg|right|CaenByEdge.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
===The Legacy of C'aseen the Poet===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen's father, known as C'aseen the Poet by his brothers in arms, was a monk in the ranks of the Fists of Rhalgr. At a young age, he abandoned his tribe along with his best friend F'une to study the ways of balance and the fist, and later came to unlock his hidden chakra. Although he claimed to be a pacifist, C'aseen yearned for unmatched power so that he could defend his way of life unopposed, whereas F'une was more aggressive, and fully embraced the way of The Destroyer. C'aseen would make a habit of sharing his small wealth with the less fortunate of Ala Mhigo, and aiding in small jobs among the lower class, behind F'une's back. He would thatch holes in roofs, gather game, and pull caravans himself. He was also known by his spouts of poetry that he would preach about the world and life. It was then, he met a woman named V'ira Tarja and fell madly in love with her. Traditions of his kind be damned, he would spend nights singing ballads to her... not knowing she was fighting feelings for him. Eventually they would come together and sire a white-haired boy who V'ira named Vailyx.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Vailyx, the Swifttail of Ala Mhigo===&lt;br /&gt;
Vailyx grew into a wild-cat like his mother, yet bore the confidence of his father. Fond of all manner of mischief, he grew up alongside his best friend and cousin Tiergan Vashir. Along with Tiergan's sister Lurial, the trio would cast bouts of chaos among the lower levels of Ala Mhigo. Dodoes would suddenly find their pens opened and run through the streets, food from merchant stalls would go missing, and there was even one incident when the three road atop a chocobo taken back from a corrupt tax collector for their neighbor, who was struggling to make ends meet. Vailyx was always there to save his friends from peril, coming out with a bloody nose and a few other bruises; his trade-mark fanged smirk not wavering. He named himself the ''Swifttail'' of Ala Mhigo, claiming it was a title bestowed by the Twelve for his cunning and speed, but in truth, he merely thought it sounded cool and intimidating. At one point, he even dyed his long, white hair into a bright red colour, so that he would look like a fiery comet as he rushed through the streets and rooftops. Their childhood was happy... but it was not to last.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Escape from Ala Mhigo===&lt;br /&gt;
Vailyx was eight years old when the Empire lay waste to Ala Mhigo in their campaign to take over Eorzea. F'une attempted to sneak C'aseen and his family onto a refugee caravan, fleeing the city amongst the chaos. This act cost F'une his life, but ensured his comrade's safety. V'ira's family lost or missing, C'aseen thought it would be best to take his family far from Ala Mhigo and start over, eventually booking them a passage to Limsa Lominsa, the entire journey from Ala Mhigo to Limsa taking two years. It would be there that V'ira bore another child, a small blue-haired boy with amber eyes named Caen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Caen, The Amber Dawn===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen's childhood in Limsa Lominsa was a rather happy one. C'aseen sought to join the ranks of the Maelstrom, the Grand Company of Limsa, and Vailyx sought to become a warrior like his father. This left Caen alone most of the time, when he was able to wander off without V'ira. Caen was the representation of a new and happy life for the four, and a hope for the future. As Caen grew older, he adopted a mixture of his family traits. While his mischief wasn't as grand as Vailyx's schemes back in Ala Mhigo, they often led to street brawls with the local bullies who beat Caen, as he was a miqo'te with the hyuran name. During the brawls, many of the &amp;quot;bullies&amp;quot; came to like the boy, as the miqo'te never fought as if he was fighting for his life and instead fighting for the fun of it. It became clear that it was difficult to become enemies with the boy, and most of his hyran adversaries turned into good friends or friendly rivals. When he wasn't tussling in the lower decks, Caen would climb to the higher towers of Limsa, looking out at the sea to watch his father fish, and see ships come in to port. He came to know almost everyone, as he was quite nosey, and always was willing to lend a helping hand to a downtrodden stranger. V'ira would teach the young kitten to sing, to aid him in his quest to make all strangers happy, but not without warning the boy of the dangers of the world.&lt;br /&gt;
By the time Caen grew to his ninth year, he was already a thorn in his older brother's side. Constantly trying to show Vailyx up was a favorite pastime of his, while Vailyx had grown cold by comparison, still mourning the deaths of his two best friends Tiergan and Lurial. He was well on his way to becoming worthy enough to study in the ways of a Dragoon, which Caen would lovingly attempt to mimic. By Caen's tenth year, Vailyx has sought to forgive himself for not being able to save Tiergan and Lurial, seeing much of his younger self in Caen, who would bring light and joy to his terrible sorrow and cast it aside. For the first time, Caen was able to break through his older brother's cold exterior, and the brothers would bond happily for the next year. Another year passed... and with it, the Grand Companies of Eorzea prepared to meet Nael Van Darnus's VIIth Legion on the fields of Carteneau.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Cruelty of Fate===&lt;br /&gt;
C'aseen and Vailyx had made up their minds to fight alongside the Maelstrom forces at Carteneau. Yet, as Dalamud had lowered closer to Eorzea, Vailyx feared that the battle would not be won, and urged V'ira to take Caen on a ship and flee the continent. Caen took this terribly, and took up his practice lance, trying to fight Vailyx to let him go with them. Vailyx, out of options, slashed the practice lance in half and cut his brother across the cheek in an attempt to make his brother hate him, so that he wouldn't want to join them at Carteneau. Caen, now sporting a nasty cross-shaped wound, flung himself at his brother, understanding his fears and embracing him one last time. Vailyx would hand his mother letters to Caen, and, embracing them one last time, rushed off to join C'aseen at the battle. Caen and V'ira were able to get passage to a ship heading for another continent with other refugees, yet as Dalamud drew ever closer, the captain of their ship, Kruz Rosgaldornyn, revealed his ugly plot to turn the ship towards Ul'dah, and sell everyone aboard as slaves into the Ul'dahn underground black market. Kruz would attempt to seize V'ira and have his way with the miqo'te woman before they arrived, but Caen begged and pleaded him to release her, offering his own life in exchange. A twisted being, Kruz agreed, and took the young lad to his quarters, where he tortured the boy for making him look weak in front of his crew. As the beating grew worse, Caen could not take it anymore and bit the man's ear off. Enraged, Kruz tied the boy down and prepared to cut Caen's tail off. Before the blow was struck, V'ira burst down the door, stunning Kruz with a glass bottle to the face and released Caen. As they rushed to a lifeboat, the waves grew restless and aggressive, and the skies turned violent. Flares rained down from the sky, flinging themselves into the deep ocean. Amidst the chaos, V'ira removed her violet earrings and wrapped them around Vailyx's letters, tucking them into Caen's jacket. She embraced her son for the last time, and the ship was hit by one of Bahamut's flares. Caen was thrust into the air along with debris from the ship, the bodies of refugees, and V'ira. He reached for her, in an attempt to fly towards her again, and screamed her name, just as she was engulfed by flames. Caen hit the water with a terrible force... and fell into the abyss of his mind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Awakening to Null===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen awoke to a warm bed, in the small home of Faust Jabari, a fisherman in Vesper Bay. He had been asleep for nearly a week. When Faust asked the boy his name, the boy could not recall. In fact he knew not who he was, nor where he was... nor why Faust had no tail when the lad had one. Faust attempted to look through the letters Caen had washed ashore with, yet they were almost too water-logged to read. All he could make out is they were addressed to &amp;quot;Caen&amp;quot;... from someone named Vailyx. Taking a shot in the dark, Faust would return Caen's name to him, and gift the lost miqo'te with that of his own surname, &amp;quot;Jabari&amp;quot; until his memories returned. Caen was timid and shy around the other kids in Vesper, while many of them were around their eleventh year, as he was, he felt terrified to be around people. His days were spent trying to piece together who he was, and his nightmares were plagued by a vision of his chasing a red-haired knight with a lance into a blinding horizon, yet he could never catch them. It wasn't until Faust took Caen along with him to trade his wares at Ul'dah, did remnants of himself return.&lt;br /&gt;
Faust briefly left Caen with Momodi of ''The Quicksand'' while he went to trade his wares at market. It was then that Caen witnessed the sorrow of a beautiful lady named Sarisa Clementine. A band of adventurers, her comrades tried anything they could to get her to find hope that her lover had survived the Battle Of Carteneau, but she would turn them away. Caen was overcome with a need to make her smile, and approached her, initiating conversation. Sarisa was so shocked that a mysterious boy would just walk up and chat with her, that she obliged. The two would meet at ''The Quicksand'' and talk often, about Caen's missing memories, and of Sarisa and her love for her fiancee, Lieru. And one day, Caen sang to her... a ballad conjured from the depths of his mind... and for the first time in a long time, she smiled. It was then that Caen decided, it was smiles like hers he wanted to one day protect. And he would be the light in the darkness for those who had lost their own. He dreamt of a world without sorrow, without war or bloodshed, and became determined to become strong enough to herald the arrival of such a world.&lt;br /&gt;
==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;font-size:40px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;After Meteor&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:RainyCaen.jpg|left|RainyCaen.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
===Five Years Later... (2.0)===&lt;br /&gt;
After convincing Faust to journey to Mor Dhona and find his wife Maria, Caen had sang in the streets of Ul'dah for gil, while also finding an opportunity to become a messenger bearing secret letters for groups that would not like to see them taken from moogles. It was Naih'ir Molkot and Momodi of ''The Quicksand'' that would offer Caen a real job, washing dishes and serving the patrons of the inn. During this time, Caen would also find habit of &amp;quot;perching&amp;quot; atop the rails of the room, conversing with strangers and getting them to detail their adventures outside the desert, having no memory of the world beyond. Caen still yearns for a place to call home once again, and prays that the Twelve might offer a hint as to why his memory was taken from him. Still, he wields a confident smirk and a bright yellow attire, in a hope to be a light for everyone and make them smile...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Brave New Realm (2.1)===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen could say his life changed when he met a group of adventurers in the Quicksand. The first man was a Dragoon named Artorias Mason. At first the Huyr was a marvel to behold, capable of endless feats and even more knowledge. He had had everything... and lost it all to the Empire. He was an inspiration... yet darkness existed in the mans heart having lost all he held dear. He denied the Gods existence and placed Caen's undying faith to the Twelve among the ranks of the pathetic; an event that shook the boy to his core and giving him doubt for the first time.  During a trip out to Crescent Cove, Caen and Artorias run in with Garrett Slater, a free-paladin in training. Caen shows them both a crashed Garlean vessel, rusted and long-dead, when they are attacked by a giant yarzon. After defeating the vilekin, Garrett and Artorias meet in private when Caen is suddenly caught in a Garlean ambush. In a narrow victory, the group is able to flee towards Ul'dah to return Caen to the Quicksand. The following day, Caen was approached by a woman named Kelvena, who searches for her father Ikus and his mercenary company Lost Rogues. When she finds out that Caen has never been outside Ul'dah, she, Artorias, and Garrett decide to take the boy to Limsa Lominsa. There, it is revealed that Artorias plans to kill himself after fighting the primals and defeating Gaius von Baelsar. Although Caen pleads with him, Artorias' mind is made up and he eventually leaves. It is then that Kelvena and Garrett take Caen to Gridania... where Caen visits the Lancer's Guild and finds the Last Letter of the Swifttail. These last written words of his older brother, Vailyx ensure that Caen really is Caen, and that he should continue to live his own life as his father and mother had wanted. Still wishing he could remember his family, Caen tries to find solace among his new friends. Artorias senses the boy's strife and bids Kelvena look after Caen like an older sister.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Shards of the Forsaken (2.2)===&lt;br /&gt;
One night, Caen began hearing voices in his head, including images and emotions felt by people he didn't know. This led him to run off into the Gold Court unable to control his own pain. Garrett, Kelvena, and Artorias would try to help Caen... only to be approached by two enigmatic miqo'te. Tiergan Vashir and An'nai came to find Caen, but after Artorias threatened Tiergan, the miqo'te let slip that Caen may, in fact have a shard within him, allowing him to tap into latent power and talk with others over long distances. It was only after Caen got his control over his emotions that Brynhilde Wulf appeared before the lad. After inspecting the boy, she made it clear to everyone that he was not one of the shard bearers... but in his mind, Caen could hear her saying something different. He was a shard-bearer... and a rune slowly affixed itself above Caen's heart.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sand and Snow (2.3/2.4)===&lt;br /&gt;
It was the day when Caen was waiting to be deployed with a handful of other new Flame cadets to the Sagolii desert. The information broker, Lurial Vashir found Caen first and told him the truth. His family was still alive, and his older cousins had survived the moonfall five years ago. Shocked, the miqo'te boy grew quickly attached to both Lurial and Tiergan.&lt;br /&gt;
Caen's Flame deployment also ended quickly, as sand worms attacked the site of the training grounds. With the telepathic assistance from afar through the link, Caen was able to drag the soldier caravan and a few survivors back to Ul'dah. Caen was granted a scout position, which was limited to parcel and supply delivery, if only for the boy's speed and diligence.&lt;br /&gt;
The dark hood of the Entudenin reared its head and began to attack shard-bearers, Caen included. At one point, Caen was pushed off of the high walls of Coerthas by a dark agent of the Entudenin. The boy was paralyzed from the waist down and after three days, was found by Tiergan, who had to fight past two agents to rescue his cousin. Caen was taken to the Shroud for extensive healing and afterwards, found himself hiding from the shard-bearer headquarters, afraid of being attacked by another of the dark hoods.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Taken (2.55)===&lt;br /&gt;
As the moon cycled around the world over and over, Caen took up his old errand-tail ways by delivering letters for different people in Ul'dah, and occasionally the other nations of Eorzea. However, due to the sensitive information he unwittingly carried, he was made a target by the Syndicate agents after he was seen handing over letters addressed to the Sultana. On the night where the Eorzean Alliance were greeting the ambassadors from Ishgard, fighting began to break out in the city. Caen was chased by a few of the brass blades through the Gold Court, and nearly made it to the Royal Promenade, where he was knocked out by an ambush. Caen was imprisoned, and then sold into a slave ring with the rest of the prisoners that sat in the Ul'dahn cells. &lt;br /&gt;
==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;font-size:40px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Heavensward&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:CaenBard.jpg|left|CaenBard.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
=== These Eyes of Mine (3.1)===&lt;br /&gt;
It was soon discovered that Caen had been sold to an illegal gladiator ring where slaves were matched against each other for fictional lands and titles in a game played by the nobility of Ul'dah. The boy was forced to surrender his self-made vows to never take a life, as some fights in the ring were kill or be killed. His only possessions were a wicked pair of twin daggers that he was taught to use by another fellow slave named Yae. After numerous attempts to escape and push letters from windows, Lurial Vashir and a number of brave souls, including her brother Tiergan, were able to locate Caen and organized an assault on the ringleader's mansion. Only known as her moniker, &amp;quot;The Woman&amp;quot;, Caen's master threw all of her slaves and guards at the band of rescuers and even drugged Caen and set him upon his former friends. Caen was rendered unconscious during the fight and taken to the Forgotten Springs for healing and rest. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After waking up, Caen felt terrified to meet his cousins and friends again. He perceived his soul and eyes to be stained with the lives he was forced to take during his time as a gladiator. For the time being, he subtly struggles to continue wearing the mask of unbridled happiness just as he did before. The lad now carries a pain in his heart and wonders if he even deserves to live after betraying his promise to never stain his hands with blood. In spite of his inner turmoil, he made preparations to become an adventurer himself and sought employment in Ishgard, recently united with the Eorzean Alliance. Employed as a supply runner for Betelgeuse Bordeaux's Button Shoppe, Caen finds himself working early mornings; running across the realm to spread elaborate buttons to the rest of Eorzea's markets and weaver guilds. The lad spends alot of time in the Quicksand, stashing away his earned gil to fund an expedition to the mysteries of the northern lands where the lost boy hopes to find himself again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Menphina's Blessing (3.2)===&lt;br /&gt;
Shortly after Bordeaux's business really took off, Caen stepped away from the company to focus more on himself. He was plagued by nightmares of the blood he had been forced to spill on the gladiator ring and it seemed that the blood would never wash off. It was around this time, after returning to Ul'dah, he befriended a keeper of the moon named Kiht'a Zajhiri. He and Kiht'a both shared age and a similar pattern in their pasts. After a few meetings, the friendship developed into a young romance. Although Khit'a had expressed his desire to be open with their relationship, even Caen could not deny how fascinated he was with the keeper and spent as much time with Kiht'a as he could. The two did nearly everything together and shared a room in the Goblet for a time. Caen subconsciously felt at home and loved for the first time, feeling his hidden sadness and loneliness drift away. He developed confidence as a mate and wished to become a stronger person for Kiht'a, who was skilled as a hunter. The seeker took it upon himself to practice archery and set his blood-stained daggers aside. Their peace would not last, as a hyur possessed by voidsent stalked the keeper numerous times. Caen attempted to defend him, but found himself injured on numerous occasions. The two practiced caution together, yet the two came to the conclusion that they both needed training in their own martial practices. Both of the miqo'te eventually decided to part their separate ways.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Ballad of the Scarlet Devil (3.3)===&lt;br /&gt;
Deep amidst the Shroud, Caen stalked creatures of the forest, tapping into his hunting instinct as a seeker miqo'te. After a few pelts had been gathered and meat taken, the miqo'te found himself upon a lone lalafel who was strumming a lyre in the most hauntingly beautiful fashion. The notes echoed in Caen's heart and soul and seemed to vibrate every branch in their vicinity. A mist descended around them, and from the small being's lyre, came aetherial light. Without warning, a band of men cloaked in red rushed towards the lalafel. Caen shouted for the lalafel, who stopped playing and readied a bow for battle while Caen fired shots from his own bow from the bushes. The men dead, the enigmatic lalafel introduced himself as Rojiko Tojiko, claiming he was sent from Dravania to stop a ritual that would summon a voidsent lord. He also claimed that his melody lulled disturbed souls back to sleep, for if all of them were to awaken, a terrible darkness would be wrought across the realm. The men in red traveled to several areas of the Shroud corrupting aether, causing discord with the Elementals, and upon chanting an ancient ballad, they hoped to summon Forenzikon the Purge, who would bathe the lands in an azure light, disrupting the Elemental balance forever. Caen did not hesitate to join Rojiko and the two set off to purify the Shroud. Caen explained how he had felt when Rojiko played his melody and the lalafel took notice of Caen's gift for song as they walked together. Before they slept, Rojiko showed the miqo'te how to play the lute, but commented on how Caen could never hope to play with such power without a soulstone. Even still, Caen was happy to learn Rojiko's many tools of the trade: Trick arrows, poison arrowheads, along with a few songs to play, should Caen ever obtain a lute of his own. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Between fending off the red-cloaked men, Rojiko putting disturbed spirits to rest with song, and campfire tales, Caen hardly noticed weeks go by. In was before the final spirit could be laid to rest that the two were ambushed by Coeurlclaw bandits. Outnumbered, Caen and Rojiko were captured and the lalafel was gravely wounded. They begged to be freed as to prevent the voidsent from being awoken and Rojiko, out of desperation, finally persuaded the leader of the band to be able to entertain them all with a song. With a strange magic, the small bard lulled them all to sleep. He and Caen escaped, making great haste to the final resting place. Caen made use of every trick he had been taught, covering Rojiko to his last arrow as the lalafel played his final song. The trees shook as the spirit of the voidsent vanished and upon strumming his last string, Rojiko dropped to his knees. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After dressing each others wounds and enjoying their victory, Rojiko asked Caen to travel back to Dravania with him. Caen agreed, still unbelieving that they had beaten back such a force. The journey was oddly peaceful and upon arriving to the Hinterlands, Rojiko bid Caen goodbye, simply saying where he was going, the miqo'te couldn't follow. He passed his lyre to the lad, making the seeker promise to remember the importance of song and how even something so simple as a melody could take back the night.&lt;br /&gt;

==Trivia &amp;amp; Misc==&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen will sometimes make subtle references to Final Fantasy IX.&lt;br /&gt;

::* Caen is unofficially voiced by Antony Del Rio.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen will often be played with techno/dance/hip hop music in the background and his soundtrack depicts songs of this genre.

This is a reference to Vysce's favorite music as a child.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen's desire to &amp;quot;protect everyone's smiles&amp;quot; is a reference to the Kamen Rider series, particularly Kamen Rider OOO.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;''&amp;quot;Believe in me, for my resolve does not waver, nor can it be fractured.&amp;quot; ~Vailyx the Swifttail''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Caen Jabari''' is a young miqo'te who was found washed ashore in Vesper Bay on the day of the Great Calamity. Caen remembered nothing of his first eleven years, and woke up to a world he did not remember living in. All he had on him, besides the tattered rags that covered his body, were water-logged letters addressed to &amp;quot;Caen&amp;quot; from an older brother &amp;quot;Vailyx&amp;quot; and held together by a pair of violet earrings. Thankfully, the kinder fisherman, Faust Jabari was able to find the young miqo'te and semi-raised the boy to be able to live on his own. After five years, not only has Eorzea changed, but so has the young seeker of the sun.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Appearance===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;You may be Ul'dah's desert canary, but you bear the heart of the phoenix, Caen.  You can always reignite and fly again.&amp;quot;'' ~Tiergan Vashir&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caen sports a wide-eyed, youthful face with bronzed skin due to living under the desert sun for years. Although he's lived in Ul'dah in the summers he remembers, Caen sports a slight Lominsan accent due to being raised in the city beside the Rhotano. His eyes are a bright amber and his large canines tend to show when he grins with his teeth. The lad also sports a shaggy mane of royal blue hair that would attempt to curl inwards over his face, yet it is mostly kept covered by a light head-wrapping. On his left cheek, he bears a X-shaped scar. Caen is best well known by his choice of attire; his bright yellow-coloured garb, to show off his love for the sunlight. His favorite articles of clothing usually include loose sarouel and leather boots or crakows. He prefers loose, billowy shirts in lieu of proper button-downs and is prone to sleeve-less vests and sometimes revealing chest pieces.                                                                 &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
===Personality===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:CaenJabari.jpg|left|CaenJabari.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
Caen is wild and carefree making him a perfect candidate for odd jobs through-out Thanalan and Ul'dah herself. A friend to everyone, the boy is cheerful and will rarely hesitate to chat up a stranger. His favorite pastime is residing within ''The Quicksand'' to watch the comings and goings of adventurers, occasionally prodding them for tales of their adventures outside the desert. This inspired him to finally leave Ul'dah to experience adventures of his own. Prone to mischief and hardly watching where he steps, Caen often finds himself in troublesome situations and relies on his quick-thinking and unorthodox methods of survival. The miqo'te is always in high-spirits and is at his best around friends, to whom he is very loyal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;font-size:40px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Martial Arts&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
===Fighting Style===&lt;br /&gt;
::*Caen is naturally gifted with hand-to-hand combat, but is clumsy as a toddler when it comes to a sword. During his childhood in Limsa Lominsa, he was often made fun of for his Hyuran name, which led to many street brawls with the local bullies. He taught himself how to punch, kick, and dodge out of attacks when overwhelmed, becoming effective at fighting many targets at once.&lt;br /&gt;
::*When his brother Vailyx began to take up the art of the Lance, Caen naturally went out and carved his own pole-arm out of a fallen tree branch to teach himself to do that as well, desiring skills better than his perfect brother. Vailyx was never to busy to show Caen up and belittle the boy on his flawed techniques, yet managed to teach him proper form over the course of three years. By berating his younger brother on what not to do, he effectively taught him how to use the lance as an extension of his arm. And although Caen was never old enough to leave Limsa and study the lance abroad, Vailyx was secretly proud of Caen.&lt;br /&gt;
::*Caen continued to pave his way through the Thanalan with his fists after he had awoken from losing his memory. After saving his foster-father, Faust, from a yarzon swarm a month after awakening, he took Caen  to the Pugilist's Guild within Ul'dah, where the boy would hone his skills. While mostly his training pertained of running errands for the Holyfist, Hamon, Caen did occasionally teach himself a less-clumsy fighting style after watching the students spar.&lt;br /&gt;
::*Caen often speaks of how beautiful and interesting he believes swords to be, but he cannot properly wield one on his own. When he does, he finds the blade &amp;quot;rejecting&amp;quot; him. Still he finds them incredibly intriguing.&lt;br /&gt;
::*Recently, the yellow-clad miqo'te has shown an impressive form using twin daggers. His agility from his training under Hamon and acrobatic nature have benefitted him greatly in close-quarters combat.&lt;br /&gt;

===Aliases/Nicknames===&lt;br /&gt;
::* '''Canary''': After many attempts to get the lonely adventurer Sarisa Clementine to smile, Caen finally succeeded after singing a ballad to her one morning. She smiled for the first time in two years, since Carteneau, and called him her Canary. It has become a rare nickname for Caen, as few know of it, yet he will cherish it forever. It was also a name called to him by his mother, V'ira, when she taught him to sing as a child.&lt;br /&gt;
::* '''Chocobo''': Called this by his close friends, Caen is often compared to the yellow flightless bird of Eorzea, due to his bright yellow choice of clothing.&lt;br /&gt;
::* '''Blue Wolf''': Only the residents of Vesper Bay would call Caen by such. Once when he was skinny-dipping in the Bay, a group of bullies thought it would be funny to steal his clothes. Stark-naked, Caen stealthily tried to make it back to Faust's house to no avail, as the streets were rather crowded. He soon came across a pail of blue paint, and, seeing it as his only option, dumped it all over himself. He would then dart through the streets, on all fours, to Faust's home, terrifying the citizenry who lay sight to the &amp;quot;Blue Wolf Monster&amp;quot;. After Faust explained the truth to everyone to avoid panic, it became a running gag within the small town's residents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;  font-size:30px;  color:#FFFFFF&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Relationships&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
===Family===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Father: C'aseen the Poet, ''deceased''&lt;br /&gt;
::* Mother: V'ira Tarja, ''deceased''&lt;br /&gt;
::* Older Brother: Vailyx the Swifttail, ''missing in action''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Foster Father: Faust Jabari, A hyuran fisherman and resident of Vesper Bay. He was fishing off the coast of Crescent Cove when he noticed a small boy clinging to a large piece of driftwood in the sea. He became Caen's foster father, and attempted to teach Caen the ways of the world the boy had forgotten about.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Cousin: '''[[Tiergan Vashir]]''', One of Caen's only living blood-relatives. Since he learned that Caen is his long-lost cousin, Teigan is fiercely protective of the lad, trying to be the brother Vailyx would have been to Caen. Caen loves his cousin dearly, and often tries to act out to make the older miqo'te proud of him. Caen, unbeknownst to Tiergan, would often stalk his cousin in order to study him and adopt his mannerisms. Still, much of Tiergan's past is a mystery to Caen, as the boy is unsure whether it is inappropriate to ask. Even still, friends often mistake Tiergan and Caen for brothers, and the two would go along with it, as Caen feels that Tiergan is a great older brother, in Vailyx's absence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Cousin: '''[[Lurial Vashir]]''', One of Caen's only living blood-relatives. Luri was able to track down the youngest son of her aunt V'ira to the streets of Ul'dah. When she connected the dots, she came to Caen and revealed the truth to him. While Caen hides inner worry of being apart of a family again, he cannot help but feel at home again, in a place where he belongs. Until her recent disappearance, Caen had stayed in her home in the city of Ul'dah... now Caen searches for his cousin hoping to reunite them again as she once did for him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Bodyguard: '''[[Furious Storm]]''', The bodyguard of Lurial Vashir, Caen and &amp;quot;Fury&amp;quot; instantly became best friends when Caen decided to break the shyness between them by bringing the roegadyn a warm apple tart after his first night at Lurial's home. Now the two are basically inseparable, and Caen never forgets to bring the large mute treats from around Thanalan. While he did vanish around the same time as Lurial, he still sends him treats and candy via moogle post, as they can apparently track the roegadyn better than Caen could.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Friends===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caen has had the fortune of meeting all kinds of souls by hanging near ''The Quicksand'' after leaving Vesper Bay when Faust journeyed to Mor Dhona to find his wife, Maria. Some have touched his lives more than others and even after quitting his job serving patrons for Momodi, he still eats most of his meals there and hangs around for a good while after. Being the jewel of the sand, Ul'dah is frequented by many and Caen makes a good attempt to meet them all, offering strangers a friendly flap of his ears and a story exchange to boot.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
((friend's list coming soon T-T))&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Chocobos===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen has always had a great affinity for befriending chocobos. He often wished to become a chocobo porter or breeder when he was younger. Some will find he actually talks to them. In moments of stress, the lad will often wander near chocobos and pet/talk to them. Since the birds seem to enjoy his company, many nearby porters or breeders don't mind his presence. It's not entirely sure if Caen wears yellow to display his love for chocobos or for the sun, since he favors both. Yet when asked, he will mention that he might favor chocobos more because you can't hug the sun. He dreams of having a chocobo of his own someday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Enemies===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caen doesn't have any real enemies that he knows of. He has lived an honest life and cannot hold a grudge to save it. Even when disrespected or belittled by an individual, he is quick to forgive all after sleeping it off, and greets them the next day, cheerful as ever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:PeekingCaen.jpg|center|PeekingCaen.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
===Common Rumors===&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;That there is the boy who works at Momodi's place, wiv ol' Naih'ir... the one who's always on them rails. I dunno how'ee does it, but his smile sure brightens up a room!&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;What sort of fool wears such bright yellow? If I wore such on the frontlines, archers would have me dead in seconds. If you ask me, he's just asking for death.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;Such a cutie... but what sort of name is Caen for a miqo'te? Doesn't he respect his own kind?&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moderate Rumors===&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;Shhh, don't stare... that's the boy who was kidnapped. The one by that ruffian Cade... the poor dear must've been so frightened.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot; Hah! Y'know Momodi won't let him drink? Says he's too young fer such things... but I saw him get a good boxin' 'round the ears last time he was sniffin' 'round it! Haw Haw Haw!&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;That little shite ate all my fish! Orphans... hate their scum!&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Rare Rumors===&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot; I heard him sing once, yes. It was so beautiful... but so sad. You could almost feel as if there was some pain in his heart... his very soul.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot; Didn't y'know? 'ee can't remember a lick o' who he was b'fore the moon fell them years ago. Poor bloke. Must be lonely, havin' no-one to hold yeh.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;Calls himself the 'errand-tail' of the Sultana... he's the one Raubahn trusts with those letters. Sometimes I wonder what's in them, but it seems he doesn't know himself. Best not to dwell on such things.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;They were carrying the little lad in from the Shroud. You should have heard his breathing; I was so afraid for him. A monster? No... they say it was one of those Warriors. Are even our children unsafe?&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===PC Rumors===&lt;br /&gt;

::* ''&amp;quot;Caen?  That's my younger cousin - honest, brave, and constantly getting into trouble.

His elder brother Vailyx would be proud of him...&amp;quot;'' -- [[Tiergan Vashir]]&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;If there should be one person in the entirety of Hydaelyn that I wholeheartedly trust, 'tis Caen.

==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;font-size:40px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;The Story&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:CaenByEdge.jpg|right|CaenByEdge.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
===The Legacy of C'aseen the Poet===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen's father, known as C'aseen the Poet by his brothers in arms, was a monk in the ranks of the Fists of Rhalgr. At a young age, he abandoned his tribe along with his best friend F'une to study the ways of balance and the fist, and later came to unlock his hidden chakra. Although he claimed to be a pacifist, C'aseen yearned for unmatched power so that he could defend his way of life unopposed, whereas F'une was more aggressive, and fully embraced the way of The Destroyer. C'aseen would make a habit of sharing his small wealth with the less fortunate of Ala Mhigo, and aiding in small jobs among the lower class, behind F'une's back. He would thatch holes in roofs, gather game, and pull caravans himself. He was also known by his spouts of poetry that he would preach about the world and life. It was then, he met a woman named V'ira Tarja and fell madly in love with her. Traditions of his kind be damned, he would spend nights singing ballads to her... not knowing she was fighting feelings for him. Eventually they would come together and sire a white-haired boy who V'ira named Vailyx.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Vailyx, the Swifttail of Ala Mhigo===&lt;br /&gt;
Vailyx grew into a wild-cat like his mother, yet bore the confidence of his father. Fond of all manner of mischief, he grew up alongside his best friend and cousin Tiergan Vashir. Along with Tiergan's sister Lurial, the trio would cast bouts of chaos among the lower levels of Ala Mhigo. Dodoes would suddenly find their pens opened and run through the streets, food from merchant stalls would go missing, and there was even one incident when the three road atop a chocobo taken back from a corrupt tax collector for their neighbor, who was struggling to make ends meet. Vailyx was always there to save his friends from peril, coming out with a bloody nose and a few other bruises; his trade-mark fanged smirk not wavering. He named himself the ''Swifttail'' of Ala Mhigo, claiming it was a title bestowed by the Twelve for his cunning and speed, but in truth, he merely thought it sounded cool and intimidating. At one point, he even dyed his long, white hair into a bright red colour, so that he would look like a fiery comet as he rushed through the streets and rooftops. Their childhood was happy... but it was not to last.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Escape from Ala Mhigo===&lt;br /&gt;
Vailyx was eight years old when the Empire lay waste to Ala Mhigo in their campaign to take over Eorzea. F'une attempted to sneak C'aseen and his family onto a refugee caravan, fleeing the city amongst the chaos. This act cost F'une his life, but ensured his comrade's safety. V'ira's family lost or missing, C'aseen thought it would be best to take his family far from Ala Mhigo and start over, eventually booking them a passage to Limsa Lominsa, the entire journey from Ala Mhigo to Limsa taking two years. It would be there that V'ira bore another child, a small blue-haired boy with amber eyes named Caen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Caen, The Amber Dawn===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen's childhood in Limsa Lominsa was a rather happy one. C'aseen sought to join the ranks of the Maelstrom, the Grand Company of Limsa, and Vailyx sought to become a warrior like his father. This left Caen alone most of the time, when he was able to wander off without V'ira. Caen was the representation of a new and happy life for the four, and a hope for the future. As Caen grew older, he adopted a mixture of his family traits. While his mischief wasn't as grand as Vailyx's schemes back in Ala Mhigo, they often led to street brawls with the local bullies who beat Caen, as he was a miqo'te with the hyuran name. During the brawls, many of the &amp;quot;bullies&amp;quot; came to like the boy, as the miqo'te never fought as if he was fighting for his life and instead fighting for the fun of it. It became clear that it was difficult to become enemies with the boy, and most of his hyran adversaries turned into good friends or friendly rivals. When he wasn't tussling in the lower decks, Caen would climb to the higher towers of Limsa, looking out at the sea to watch his father fish, and see ships come in to port. He came to know almost everyone, as he was quite nosey, and always was willing to lend a helping hand to a downtrodden stranger. V'ira would teach the young kitten to sing, to aid him in his quest to make all strangers happy, but not without warning the boy of the dangers of the world.&lt;br /&gt;
By the time Caen grew to his ninth year, he was already a thorn in his older brother's side. Constantly trying to show Vailyx up was a favorite pastime of his, while Vailyx had grown cold by comparison, still mourning the deaths of his two best friends Tiergan and Lurial. He was well on his way to becoming worthy enough to study in the ways of a Dragoon, which Caen would lovingly attempt to mimic. By Caen's tenth year, Vailyx has sought to forgive himself for not being able to save Tiergan and Lurial, seeing much of his younger self in Caen, who would bring light and joy to his terrible sorrow and cast it aside. For the first time, Caen was able to break through his older brother's cold exterior, and the brothers would bond happily for the next year. Another year passed... and with it, the Grand Companies of Eorzea prepared to meet Nael Van Darnus's VIIth Legion on the fields of Carteneau.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Cruelty of Fate===&lt;br /&gt;
C'aseen and Vailyx had made up their minds to fight alongside the Maelstrom forces at Carteneau. Yet, as Dalamud had lowered closer to Eorzea, Vailyx feared that the battle would not be won, and urged V'ira to take Caen on a ship and flee the continent. Caen took this terribly, and took up his practice lance, trying to fight Vailyx to let him go with them. Vailyx, out of options, slashed the practice lance in half and cut his brother across the cheek in an attempt to make his brother hate him, so that he wouldn't want to join them at Carteneau. Caen, now sporting a nasty cross-shaped wound, flung himself at his brother, understanding his fears and embracing him one last time. Vailyx would hand his mother letters to Caen, and, embracing them one last time, rushed off to join C'aseen at the battle. Caen and V'ira were able to get passage to a ship heading for another continent with other refugees, yet as Dalamud drew ever closer, the captain of their ship, Kruz Rosgaldornyn, revealed his ugly plot to turn the ship towards Ul'dah, and sell everyone aboard as slaves into the Ul'dahn underground black market. Kruz would attempt to seize V'ira and have his way with the miqo'te woman before they arrived, but Caen begged and pleaded him to release her, offering his own life in exchange. A twisted being, Kruz agreed, and took the young lad to his quarters, where he tortured the boy for making him look weak in front of his crew. As the beating grew worse, Caen could not take it anymore and bit the man's ear off. Enraged, Kruz tied the boy down and prepared to cut Caen's tail off. Before the blow was struck, V'ira burst down the door, stunning Kruz with a glass bottle to the face and released Caen. As they rushed to a lifeboat, the waves grew restless and aggressive, and the skies turned violent. Flares rained down from the sky, flinging themselves into the deep ocean. Amidst the chaos, V'ira removed her violet earrings and wrapped them around Vailyx's letters, tucking them into Caen's jacket. She embraced her son for the last time, and the ship was hit by one of Bahamut's flares. Caen was thrust into the air along with debris from the ship, the bodies of refugees, and V'ira. He reached for her, in an attempt to fly towards her again, and screamed her name, just as she was engulfed by flames. Caen hit the water with a terrible force... and fell into the abyss of his mind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Awakening to Null===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen awoke to a warm bed, in the small home of Faust Jabari, a fisherman in Vesper Bay. He had been asleep for nearly a week. When Faust asked the boy his name, the boy could not recall. In fact he knew not who he was, nor where he was... nor why Faust had no tail when the lad had one. Faust attempted to look through the letters Caen had washed ashore with, yet they were almost too water-logged to read. All he could make out is they were addressed to &amp;quot;Caen&amp;quot;... from someone named Vailyx. Taking a shot in the dark, Faust would return Caen's name to him, and gift the lost miqo'te with that of his own surname, &amp;quot;Jabari&amp;quot; until his memories returned. Caen was timid and shy around the other kids in Vesper, while many of them were around their eleventh year, as he was, he felt terrified to be around people. His days were spent trying to piece together who he was, and his nightmares were plagued by a vision of his chasing a red-haired knight with a lance into a blinding horizon, yet he could never catch them. It wasn't until Faust took Caen along with him to trade his wares at Ul'dah, did remnants of himself return.&lt;br /&gt;
Faust briefly left Caen with Momodi of ''The Quicksand'' while he went to trade his wares at market. It was then that Caen witnessed the sorrow of a beautiful lady named Sarisa Clementine. A band of adventurers, her comrades tried anything they could to get her to find hope that her lover had survived the Battle Of Carteneau, but she would turn them away. Caen was overcome with a need to make her smile, and approached her, initiating conversation. Sarisa was so shocked that a mysterious boy would just walk up and chat with her, that she obliged. The two would meet at ''The Quicksand'' and talk often, about Caen's missing memories, and of Sarisa and her love for her fiancee, Lieru. And one day, Caen sang to her... a ballad conjured from the depths of his mind... and for the first time in a long time, she smiled. It was then that Caen decided, it was smiles like hers he wanted to one day protect. And he would be the light in the darkness for those who had lost their own. He dreamt of a world without sorrow, without war or bloodshed, and became determined to become strong enough to herald the arrival of such a world.&lt;br /&gt;
==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;font-size:40px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;After Meteor&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:RainyCaen.jpg|left|RainyCaen.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
===Five Years Later... (2.0)===&lt;br /&gt;
After convincing Faust to journey to Mor Dhona and find his wife Maria, Caen had sang in the streets of Ul'dah for gil, while also finding an opportunity to become a messenger bearing secret letters for groups that would not like to see them taken from moogles. It was Naih'ir Molkot and Momodi of ''The Quicksand'' that would offer Caen a real job, washing dishes and serving the patrons of the inn. During this time, Caen would also find habit of &amp;quot;perching&amp;quot; atop the rails of the room, conversing with strangers and getting them to detail their adventures outside the desert, having no memory of the world beyond. Caen still yearns for a place to call home once again, and prays that the Twelve might offer a hint as to why his memory was taken from him. Still, he wields a confident smirk and a bright yellow attire, in a hope to be a light for everyone and make them smile...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Brave New Realm (2.1)===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen could say his life changed when he met a group of adventurers in the Quicksand. The first man was a Dragoon named Artorias Mason. At first the Huyr was a marvel to behold, capable of endless feats and even more knowledge. He had had everything... and lost it all to the Empire. He was an inspiration... yet darkness existed in the mans heart having lost all he held dear. He denied the Gods existence and placed Caen's undying faith to the Twelve among the ranks of the pathetic; an event that shook the boy to his core and giving him doubt for the first time.  During a trip out to Crescent Cove, Caen and Artorias run in with Garrett Slater, a free-paladin in training. Caen shows them both a crashed Garlean vessel, rusted and long-dead, when they are attacked by a giant yarzon. After defeating the vilekin, Garrett and Artorias meet in private when Caen is suddenly caught in a Garlean ambush. In a narrow victory, the group is able to flee towards Ul'dah to return Caen to the Quicksand. The following day, Caen was approached by a woman named Kelvena, who searches for her father Ikus and his mercenary company Lost Rogues. When she finds out that Caen has never been outside Ul'dah, she, Artorias, and Garrett decide to take the boy to Limsa Lominsa. There, it is revealed that Artorias plans to kill himself after fighting the primals and defeating Gaius von Baelsar. Although Caen pleads with him, Artorias' mind is made up and he eventually leaves. It is then that Kelvena and Garrett take Caen to Gridania... where Caen visits the Lancer's Guild and finds the Last Letter of the Swifttail. These last written words of his older brother, Vailyx ensure that Caen really is Caen, and that he should continue to live his own life as his father and mother had wanted. Still wishing he could remember his family, Caen tries to find solace among his new friends. Artorias senses the boy's strife and bids Kelvena look after Caen like an older sister.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Shards of the Forsaken (2.2)===&lt;br /&gt;
One night, Caen began hearing voices in his head, including images and emotions felt by people he didn't know. This led him to run off into the Gold Court unable to control his own pain. Garrett, Kelvena, and Artorias would try to help Caen... only to be approached by two enigmatic miqo'te. Tiergan Vashir and An'nai came to find Caen, but after Artorias threatened Tiergan, the miqo'te let slip that Caen may, in fact have a shard within him, allowing him to tap into latent power and talk with others over long distances. It was only after Caen got his control over his emotions that Brynhilde Wulf appeared before the lad. After inspecting the boy, she made it clear to everyone that he was not one of the shard bearers... but in his mind, Caen could hear her saying something different. He was a shard-bearer... and a rune slowly affixed itself above Caen's heart.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sand and Snow (2.3/2.4)===&lt;br /&gt;
It was the day when Caen was waiting to be deployed with a handful of other new Flame cadets to the Sagolii desert. The information broker, Lurial Vashir found Caen first and told him the truth. His family was still alive, and his older cousins had survived the moonfall five years ago. Shocked, the miqo'te boy grew quickly attached to both Lurial and Tiergan.&lt;br /&gt;
Caen's Flame deployment also ended quickly, as sand worms attacked the site of the training grounds. With the telepathic assistance from afar through the link, Caen was able to drag the soldier caravan and a few survivors back to Ul'dah. Caen was granted a scout position, which was limited to parcel and supply delivery, if only for the boy's speed and diligence.&lt;br /&gt;
The dark hood of the Entudenin reared its head and began to attack shard-bearers, Caen included. At one point, Caen was pushed off of the high walls of Coerthas by a dark agent of the Entudenin. The boy was paralyzed from the waist down and after three days, was found by Tiergan, who had to fight past two agents to rescue his cousin. Caen was taken to the Shroud for extensive healing and afterwards, found himself hiding from the shard-bearer headquarters, afraid of being attacked by another of the dark hoods.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Taken (2.55)===&lt;br /&gt;
As the moon cycled around the world over and over, Caen took up his old errand-tail ways by delivering letters for different people in Ul'dah, and occasionally the other nations of Eorzea. However, due to the sensitive information he unwittingly carried, he was made a target by the Syndicate agents after he was seen handing over letters addressed to the Sultana. On the night where the Eorzean Alliance were greeting the ambassadors from Ishgard, fighting began to break out in the city. Caen was chased by a few of the brass blades through the Gold Court, and nearly made it to the Royal Promenade, where he was knocked out by an ambush. Caen was imprisoned, and then sold into a slave ring with the rest of the prisoners that sat in the Ul'dahn cells. &lt;br /&gt;
==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;font-size:40px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Heavensward&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:CaenBard.jpg|left|CaenBard.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
=== These Eyes of Mine (3.1)===&lt;br /&gt;
It was soon discovered that Caen had been sold to an illegal gladiator ring where slaves were matched against each other for fictional lands and titles in a game played by the nobility of Ul'dah. The boy was forced to surrender his self-made vows to never take a life, as some fights in the ring were kill or be killed. His only possessions were a wicked pair of twin daggers that he was taught to use by another fellow slave named Yae. After numerous attempts to escape and push letters from windows, Lurial Vashir and a number of brave souls, including her brother Tiergan, were able to locate Caen and organized an assault on the ringleader's mansion. Only known as her moniker, &amp;quot;The Woman&amp;quot;, Caen's master threw all of her slaves and guards at the band of rescuers and even drugged Caen and set him upon his former friends. Caen was rendered unconscious during the fight and taken to the Forgotten Springs for healing and rest. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After waking up, Caen felt terrified to meet his cousins and friends again. He perceived his soul and eyes to be stained with the lives he was forced to take during his time as a gladiator. For the time being, he subtly struggles to continue wearing the mask of unbridled happiness just as he did before. The lad now carries a pain in his heart and wonders if he even deserves to live after betraying his promise to never stain his hands with blood. In spite of his inner turmoil, he made preparations to become an adventurer himself and sought employment in Ishgard, recently united with the Eorzean Alliance. Employed as a supply runner for Betelgeuse Bordeaux's Button Shoppe, Caen finds himself working early mornings; running across the realm to spread elaborate buttons to the rest of Eorzea's markets and weaver guilds. The lad spends alot of time in the Quicksand, stashing away his earned gil to fund an expedition to the mysteries of the northern lands where the lost boy hopes to find himself again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Menphina's Blessing (3.2)===&lt;br /&gt;
Shortly after Bordeaux's business really took off, Caen stepped away from the company to focus more on himself. He was plagued by nightmares of the blood he had been forced to spill on the gladiator ring and it seemed that the blood would never wash off. It was around this time, after returning to Ul'dah, he befriended a keeper of the moon named Kiht'a Zajhiri. He and Kiht'a both shared age and a similar pattern in their pasts. After a few meetings, the friendship developed into a young romance. Although Khit'a had expressed his desire to be open with their relationship, even Caen could not deny how fascinated he was with the keeper and spent as much time with Kiht'a as he could. The two did nearly everything together and shared a room in the Goblet for a time. Caen subconsciously felt at home and loved for the first time, feeling his hidden sadness and loneliness drift away. He developed confidence as a mate and wished to become a stronger person for Kiht'a, who was skilled as a hunter. The seeker took it upon himself to practice archery and set his blood-stained daggers aside. Their peace would not last, as a hyur possessed by voidsent stalked the keeper numerous times. Caen attempted to defend him, but found himself injured on numerous occasions. The two practiced caution together, yet the two came to the conclusion that they both needed training in their own martial practices. Both of the miqo'te eventually decided to part their separate ways.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Ballad of the Scarlet Devil (3.3)===&lt;br /&gt;
Deep amidst the Shroud, Caen stalked creatures of the forest, tapping into his hunting instinct as a seeker miqo'te. After a few pelts had been gathered and meat taken, the miqo'te found himself upon a lone lalafel who was strumming a lyre in the most hauntingly beautiful fashion. The notes echoed in Caen's heart and soul and seemed to vibrate every branch in their vicinity. A mist descended around them, and from the small being's lyre, came aetherial light. Without warning, a band of men cloaked in red rushed towards the lalafel. Caen shouted for the lalafel, who stopped playing and readied a bow for battle while Caen fired shots from his own bow from the bushes. The men dead, the enigmatic lalafel introduced himself as Rojiko Tojiko, claiming he was sent from Dravania to stop a ritual that would summon a voidsent lord. He also claimed that his melody lulled disturbed souls back to sleep, for if all of them were to awaken, a terrible darkness would be wrought across the realm. The men in red traveled to several areas of the Shroud corrupting aether, causing discord with the Elementals, and upon chanting an ancient ballad, they hoped to summon Forenzikon the Purge, who would bathe the lands in an azure light, disrupting the Elemental balance forever. Caen did not hesitate to join Rojiko and the two set off to purify the Shroud. Caen explained how he had felt when Rojiko played his melody and the lalafel took notice of Caen's gift for song as they walked together. Before they slept, Rojiko showed the miqo'te how to play the lute, but commented on how Caen could never hope to play with such power without a soulstone. Even still, Caen was happy to learn Rojiko's many tools of the trade: Trick arrows, poison arrowheads, along with a few songs to play, should Caen ever obtain a lute of his own. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Between fending off the red-cloaked men, Rojiko putting disturbed spirits to rest with song, and campfire tales, Caen hardly noticed weeks go by. In was before the final spirit could be laid to rest that the two were ambushed by Coeurlclaw bandits. Outnumbered, Caen and Rojiko were captured and the lalafel was gravely wounded. They begged to be freed as to prevent the voidsent from being awoken and Rojiko, out of desperation, finally persuaded the leader of the band to be able to entertain them all with a song. With a strange magic, the small bard lulled them all to sleep. He and Caen escaped, making great haste to the final resting place. Caen made use of every trick he had been taught, covering Rojiko to his last arrow as the lalafel played his final song. The trees shook as the spirit of the voidsent vanished and upon strumming his last string, Rojiko dropped to his knees. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After dressing each others wounds and enjoying their victory, Rojiko asked Caen to travel back to Dravania with him. Caen agreed, still unbelieving that they had beaten back such a force. The journey was oddly peaceful and upon arriving to the Hinterlands, Rojiko bid Caen goodbye, simply saying where he was going, the miqo'te couldn't follow. He passed his lyre to the lad, making the seeker promise to remember the importance of song and how even something so simple as a melody could take back the night.&lt;br /&gt;

==Profile==&lt;br /&gt;
===Appearance===&lt;br /&gt;
J'khobi has long, jet-black hair with blond tips. His right eye is red while his left eye is violet and his cheeks are marked with simplistic tattoos. Growing up under the Sagolii sun have darkly bronzed the skin of the seekers from Khobi's nomadic Jackal tribe. He can usually be seen wearing a white or cyan hempen undershirt with a brightly colored lace bow tied around his neck. He also wears nature colored culottes, leather shin guards, shoes and finger-less gloves. His medic outfit is vastly different: Sterile while and black gloves, tight leggings, and boots are worn to not only aid in handling most wounds, but prevent infection and blood from touching his skin. His white robs is especially unique; adorned not only with fancy white, black, and gold design, but also aetherial crystals to assist J'khobi if his own stores of aether are lacking. His prized possession, which the seeker wears on his forehead, is a custom-made tri-lens aetherometer than will display approximate aetherflow of whomever or whatever he is viewing. One of the lens appears to be faulty, however, as J'khobi cannot figure out it's function. The medicinal ensemble was a gift to the seeker after he cured the grand-daughter of Doctor Boris Lazarius from a rare strain of aetherial poison. The equipment belonged to the highlander doctor's son, who had died in the Calamity of the Sixth Astral Era.&lt;br /&gt;
===Personality===&lt;br /&gt;
'' &amp;quot;Has not been the same, ehe, uh... no. No! Not since the deserrrt. Find, I do, solace in healing otherrrs. Mebbe, as I do this? Heal myself, I do.&amp;quot; '' -J'khobi Tia&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
J'khobi is a very jittery miqo'te. His ears and tail often twitch at some invisible irritation and he has difficulties making sentences without stuttering or cackling to himself. The wide-eyed seeker sometimes has no sense of personal space or decorum as he examines strangers and their equipment with genuine fascination, often accidentally blinding them with the light given off by his aetherial optic. He flinches when touched and sometimes will stare into space for minutes at a time. His anxiety aside, J'khobi usually never hesitates when his services are needed and makes himself available to be there for his friends. While generally cheerful, he conceals his worries and loneliness to all except friends who ask him. It is the miqo'te's belief that as he cures the wounds of strangers and the world, he will simultaneously cure himself of his innate sorrow and wavering sanity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Combat==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:J'khobi_Medic.jpg|right|J'khobi_Medic.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
===Specialization===&lt;br /&gt;
'''Arcanist''' : It was a rare thing indeed for a seeker to be born with such high aetherial quantity and the nuhn of his tribe, J'rhaskir, did not hesitate in making J'khobi a valuable asset. Training from a young age, J'khobi was given selective reading and writing education and, of course, instruction on how to manipulate aether with an arcanist grimoire. Specifically, J'khobi studied the affects of aetherial poison from a traveling scholar named Zuzogin Zukagin. The seeker can bestow aetherial infection and remove it using the ink in his tome as a conduit with aetherflow and deal unaspected damage with his &amp;quot;aetherial ribbons.&amp;quot; Aside from offensive magicks, Khobi also deals heavily in the curative nature, providing succor to what ails his comrades and protecting them with magic shielding. His specialty, of course, is the remedying of poison, aetherial or otherwise. He was given a lot of practice in his life as a Tia from the sagolii desert as his nuhn would overdose on drugs and poison alike and have Khobi heal him. J'rhaskir would repeat this often saying, aside from combat, this act made him feel more alive than ever.&lt;br /&gt;
==Tendencies==&lt;br /&gt;

==Story==&lt;br /&gt;
{{spoiler}}&lt;br /&gt;
'' &amp;quot;Serve and protect, little star. Only you can do this. We will be in your heart and pray for you every night. When you look up at night, seek Menphina and know we are with you.&amp;quot; '' -Grandmother Adel&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It all began with the greed of the one they call J'rhaskir the Emberclaw. A Jackal from the Sagolii who fancied himself a God of war, he broke away to start his own tribe of hunters. In his blind ambition to be the most powerful sun-seeker alive, he sought any means for extra strength without recourse. This led him to be addicted to multiple powders and drugs, the best made by a clan of keeper miqo'te from the northern woods led by the mysterious Grandmother Adel. After trading too many resources for a combat stimulant, however, the Emberclaw's tribe began to suffer in a conflict against another seeker tribe that J'rhaskir had purposely agitated. He made a deal with Adel for supplies and powder. At the site of the exchange, instead of paying for the supplies with the agreed upon price, seeker warriors ambushed the keepers, killing them all and stealing the supplies, allowing J'rhaskir and his hunters to beat back his enemies in the Sagolii.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Outraged, Adel initiated a shadow-war in accordance with her own creed: ''&amp;quot;The Path of Knives.&amp;quot;'' Capable assassins would journey to the Sagolii, track down J'rhaskir, and kill him. While impulsive and reckless, the Emberclaw was no fool. Preparing for the keeper's counterattack, each assassin dispatched was taken out. J'rhaskir sent his own warriors to the woods to take out the entirety of the keeper clan, and bring him the head of Adel. One of these warriors was J'khobi, sired by J'rhaskir himself. The golden haired and red-eyed arcanist prodigy swore to take down the keeper matriarch with a small team of hunters, each gifted in the art of offensive magic. Even though half of the tribe wished to call a truce and stop the sudden attacks, J'rhaskir agreed, sending the boy into the Shroud to murder Adel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The seeker's ambuscade would have been devastating had J'khobi and his hunters been more patient. Instead of killing Adel, they killed her daughter Rokka. Rokka's mate Hajin'zi dove in to protect Adel and Rokka, yet, seeing his love fall drove him into a rage and he tore apart the hunters before J'khobi put a dagger in the keeper's throat. J'khobi was outmatched by Adel, who bound the seeker,imprisoned him, and mourned the death of her daughter. Of the daughters and sons Rokka and Hajin'zi left behind, all swore revenge, but none sought it greater than the youngest male. He met with Adel and offered his entire being to take down J'rhaskir... and a plan was hatched.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Khujato.jpg|center|Khujato.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
The greatest of magical glamours can cover a person who has a vast aether capacity. By what only could be divine coincidence, Lahlih's son was the same age and build of the seeker assassin J'khobi. With the help of the strongest mages in the Adel's clan, they would teach the keeper boy to become J'khobi, covering his body in a glamour to fool the seekers into believing ''he'' was the son of J'rhaskir. And when the time was right, the keeper boy would take his revenge and return. With the glamour stable and learning all he could of the real seeker, he set out to find the Emberclaw Tribe, telling J'rhaskir that he failed in killing the Matriarch Adel but had wounded her greatly. This satisfied the warrior of the sands, yet, he beat the glamoured seeker for his failure, regardless. Every sun he would serve the nuhn and his tribe without question. He was the rat of the tribe and though he was in pain, the keeper boy was patient. He would serve and protect his keeper family.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Something happened that the hidden keeper did not expect. Many of J'khobi's sisters as well as a few other hunters did not like the way J'rhaskir led them. The way he punished J'khobi and other hunters for their failure was frightening. No one was allowed to leave the tribe or trade without the nuhn's say. A plot soon developed by J'khobi's older brothers, J'dhoon and J'rhis, two Tias who journeyed farther than the nuhn allowed under the guise of &amp;quot;hunting missions.&amp;quot; They were, by all definition, adventurers in their own right and brought stories back to J'khobi, who, in turn showed them kindness and would cover for their long absence if J'rhaskir demanded their location. It was J'rhis who noticed a change in his once-impulsive young brother, yet... as the change was favorable, he did not question it. Together, the three planned to kill the nuhn while he slept...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dhoon and Rhis attacked first, cutting down the Emberclaw's hunters. Rhaskir erupted in a fury, brandishing his wicked axe at the seekers. Rhis pushed Khobi out of the way and was dealt a mortal wound. While J'rhaskir was distracted, J'khobi took the chance he was waiting for. With all of his aetherial power, the glamoured keeper struck J'rhaskir, blasting his body with violent shadow flares while Dhoon stabbed his nuhn through the chest. The Emberclaw hunters that remained loyal to their nuhn were outraged. J'khobi turned to see the rest of the tribe who looked on in shock. Fighting broke out and J'khobi and J'dhoon ran out of the tribe grounds and into the desert night. A terrible sandstorm summoned out of nowhere, and glamoured keeper boy was lost.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even the boy does not know how long he was in the desert alone. He had lost J'dhoon in the storm and all he could do was hunt for food and drink and try to not be burned by the sun or frozen by the night. He began to slowly lose himself in the heat and his mind clung to the story he had trained himself to believe for the sake of his revenge... and he believed he really was J'khobi... that he was not at fault for the death of his nuhn. He forgot his keeper origins and even his glamour began to destabilize. One of his eyes turned to it's natural violet color, and his tail and hair began to revert to black. He wandered for suns until he collapsed in front of the jewel of the Thanalan, Ul'dah. Since his arrival, the jittery seeker remembers, ''&amp;quot;Serve and protect.&amp;quot;'' And so he would... he would heal the wounded strangers he meets and protect his new friends, hoping to mend his broken mind. On he lives without memory of his keeper origin.. and his family still prays for his safe return.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;''&amp;quot;Believe in me, for my resolve does not waver, nor can it be fractured.&amp;quot; ~Vailyx the Swifttail''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Caen Jabari''' is a young miqo'te who was found washed ashore in Vesper Bay on the day of the Great Calamity. Caen remembered nothing of his first eleven years, and woke up to a world he did not remember living in. All he had on him, besides the tattered rags that covered his body, were water-logged letters addressed to &amp;quot;Caen&amp;quot; from an older brother &amp;quot;Vailyx&amp;quot; and held together by a pair of violet earrings. Thankfully, the kinder fisherman, Faust Jabari was able to find the young miqo'te and semi-raised the boy to be able to live on his own. After five years, not only has Eorzea changed, but so has the young seeker of the sun.&lt;br /&gt;

===Appearance===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;You may be Ul'dah's desert canary, but you bear the heart of the phoenix, Caen.  You can always reignite and fly again.&amp;quot;'' ~Tiergan Vashir&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caen sports a wide-eyed, youthful face with bronzed skin due to living under the desert sun for years. Although he's lived in Ul'dah in the summers he remembers, Caen sports a slight Lominsan accent due to being raised in the city beside the Rhotano. His eyes are a bright amber and his large canines tend to show when he grins with his teeth. The lad also sports a shaggy mane of royal blue hair that would attempt to curl inwards over his face, yet it is mostly kept covered by a light head-wrapping. On his left cheek, he bears a X-shaped scar. Caen is best well known by his choice of attire; his bright yellow-coloured garb, to show off his love for the sunlight. His favorite articles of clothing usually include loose sarouel and leather boots or crakows. He prefers loose, billowy shirts in lieu of proper button-downs and is prone to sleeve-less vests and sometimes revealing chest pieces.                                                                 &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
===Personality===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:CaenJabari.jpg|left|CaenJabari.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
Caen is wild and carefree making him a perfect candidate for odd jobs through-out Thanalan and Ul'dah herself. A friend to everyone, the boy is cheerful and will rarely hesitate to chat up a stranger. His favorite pastime is residing within ''The Quicksand'' to watch the comings and goings of adventurers, occasionally prodding them for tales of their adventures outside the desert. This inspired him to finally leave Ul'dah to experience adventures of his own. Prone to mischief and hardly watching where he steps, Caen often finds himself in troublesome situations and relies on his quick-thinking and unorthodox methods of survival. The miqo'te is always in high-spirits and is at his best around friends, to whom he is very loyal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;font-size:40px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Martial Arts&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
===Fighting Style===&lt;br /&gt;
::*Caen is naturally gifted with hand-to-hand combat, but is clumsy as a toddler when it comes to a sword. During his childhood in Limsa Lominsa, he was often made fun of for his Hyuran name, which led to many street brawls with the local bullies. He taught himself how to punch, kick, and dodge out of attacks when overwhelmed, becoming effective at fighting many targets at once.&lt;br /&gt;
::*When his brother Vailyx began to take up the art of the Lance, Caen naturally went out and carved his own pole-arm out of a fallen tree branch to teach himself to do that as well, desiring skills better than his perfect brother. Vailyx was never to busy to show Caen up and belittle the boy on his flawed techniques, yet managed to teach him proper form over the course of three years. By berating his younger brother on what not to do, he effectively taught him how to use the lance as an extension of his arm. And although Caen was never old enough to leave Limsa and study the lance abroad, Vailyx was secretly proud of Caen.&lt;br /&gt;
::*Caen continued to pave his way through the Thanalan with his fists after he had awoken from losing his memory. After saving his foster-father, Faust, from a yarzon swarm a month after awakening, he took Caen  to the Pugilist's Guild within Ul'dah, where the boy would hone his skills. While mostly his training pertained of running errands for the Holyfist, Hamon, Caen did occasionally teach himself a less-clumsy fighting style after watching the students spar.&lt;br /&gt;
::*Caen often speaks of how beautiful and interesting he believes swords to be, but he cannot properly wield one on his own. When he does, he finds the blade &amp;quot;rejecting&amp;quot; him. Still he finds them incredibly intriguing.&lt;br /&gt;
::*Recently, the yellow-clad miqo'te has shown an impressive form using twin daggers. His agility from his training under Hamon and acrobatic nature have benefitted him greatly in close-quarters combat.&lt;br /&gt;

===Aliases/Nicknames===&lt;br /&gt;
::* '''Canary''': After many attempts to get the lonely adventurer Sarisa Clementine to smile, Caen finally succeeded after singing a ballad to her one morning. She smiled for the first time in two years, since Carteneau, and called him her Canary. It has become a rare nickname for Caen, as few know of it, yet he will cherish it forever. It was also a name called to him by his mother, V'ira, when she taught him to sing as a child.&lt;br /&gt;
::* '''Chocobo''': Called this by his close friends, Caen is often compared to the yellow flightless bird of Eorzea, due to his bright yellow choice of clothing.&lt;br /&gt;
::* '''Blue Wolf''': Only the residents of Vesper Bay would call Caen by such. Once when he was skinny-dipping in the Bay, a group of bullies thought it would be funny to steal his clothes. Stark-naked, Caen stealthily tried to make it back to Faust's house to no avail, as the streets were rather crowded. He soon came across a pail of blue paint, and, seeing it as his only option, dumped it all over himself. He would then dart through the streets, on all fours, to Faust's home, terrifying the citizenry who lay sight to the &amp;quot;Blue Wolf Monster&amp;quot;. After Faust explained the truth to everyone to avoid panic, it became a running gag within the small town's residents.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
::* Foster Father: Faust Jabari, A hyuran fisherman and resident of Vesper Bay. He was fishing off the coast of Crescent Cove when he noticed a small boy clinging to a large piece of driftwood in the sea. He became Caen's foster father, and attempted to teach Caen the ways of the world the boy had forgotten about.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Cousin: '''[[Tiergan Vashir]]''', One of Caen's only living blood-relatives. Since he learned that Caen is his long-lost cousin, Teigan is fiercely protective of the lad, trying to be the brother Vailyx would have been to Caen. Caen loves his cousin dearly, and often tries to act out to make the older miqo'te proud of him. Caen, unbeknownst to Tiergan, would often stalk his cousin in order to study him and adopt his mannerisms. Still, much of Tiergan's past is a mystery to Caen, as the boy is unsure whether it is inappropriate to ask. Even still, friends often mistake Tiergan and Caen for brothers, and the two would go along with it, as Caen feels that Tiergan is a great older brother, in Vailyx's absence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Cousin: '''[[Lurial Vashir]]''', One of Caen's only living blood-relatives. Luri was able to track down the youngest son of her aunt V'ira to the streets of Ul'dah. When she connected the dots, she came to Caen and revealed the truth to him. While Caen hides inner worry of being apart of a family again, he cannot help but feel at home again, in a place where he belongs. Until her recent disappearance, Caen had stayed in her home in the city of Ul'dah... now Caen searches for his cousin hoping to reunite them again as she once did for him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Bodyguard: '''[[Furious Storm]]''', The bodyguard of Lurial Vashir, Caen and &amp;quot;Fury&amp;quot; instantly became best friends when Caen decided to break the shyness between them by bringing the roegadyn a warm apple tart after his first night at Lurial's home. Now the two are basically inseparable, and Caen never forgets to bring the large mute treats from around Thanalan. While he did vanish around the same time as Lurial, he still sends him treats and candy via moogle post, as they can apparently track the roegadyn better than Caen could.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Friends===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caen has had the fortune of meeting all kinds of souls by hanging near ''The Quicksand'' after leaving Vesper Bay when Faust journeyed to Mor Dhona to find his wife, Maria. Some have touched his lives more than others and even after quitting his job serving patrons for Momodi, he still eats most of his meals there and hangs around for a good while after. Being the jewel of the sand, Ul'dah is frequented by many and Caen makes a good attempt to meet them all, offering strangers a friendly flap of his ears and a story exchange to boot.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
((friend's list coming soon T-T))&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Chocobos===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen has always had a great affinity for befriending chocobos. He often wished to become a chocobo porter or breeder when he was younger. Some will find he actually talks to them. In moments of stress, the lad will often wander near chocobos and pet/talk to them. Since the birds seem to enjoy his company, many nearby porters or breeders don't mind his presence. It's not entirely sure if Caen wears yellow to display his love for chocobos or for the sun, since he favors both. Yet when asked, he will mention that he might favor chocobos more because you can't hug the sun. He dreams of having a chocobo of his own someday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Enemies===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caen doesn't have any real enemies that he knows of. He has lived an honest life and cannot hold a grudge to save it. Even when disrespected or belittled by an individual, he is quick to forgive all after sleeping it off, and greets them the next day, cheerful as ever.&lt;br /&gt;

==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;font-size:40px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;The Story&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:CaenByEdge.jpg|right|CaenByEdge.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
===The Legacy of C'aseen the Poet===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen's father, known as C'aseen the Poet by his brothers in arms, was a monk in the ranks of the Fists of Rhalgr. At a young age, he abandoned his tribe along with his best friend F'une to study the ways of balance and the fist, and later came to unlock his hidden chakra. Although he claimed to be a pacifist, C'aseen yearned for unmatched power so that he could defend his way of life unopposed, whereas F'une was more aggressive, and fully embraced the way of The Destroyer. C'aseen would make a habit of sharing his small wealth with the less fortunate of Ala Mhigo, and aiding in small jobs among the lower class, behind F'une's back. He would thatch holes in roofs, gather game, and pull caravans himself. He was also known by his spouts of poetry that he would preach about the world and life. It was then, he met a woman named V'ira Tarja and fell madly in love with her. Traditions of his kind be damned, he would spend nights singing ballads to her... not knowing she was fighting feelings for him. Eventually they would come together and sire a white-haired boy who V'ira named Vailyx.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Vailyx, the Swifttail of Ala Mhigo===&lt;br /&gt;
Vailyx grew into a wild-cat like his mother, yet bore the confidence of his father. Fond of all manner of mischief, he grew up alongside his best friend and cousin Tiergan Vashir. Along with Tiergan's sister Lurial, the trio would cast bouts of chaos among the lower levels of Ala Mhigo. Dodoes would suddenly find their pens opened and run through the streets, food from merchant stalls would go missing, and there was even one incident when the three road atop a chocobo taken back from a corrupt tax collector for their neighbor, who was struggling to make ends meet. Vailyx was always there to save his friends from peril, coming out with a bloody nose and a few other bruises; his trade-mark fanged smirk not wavering. He named himself the ''Swifttail'' of Ala Mhigo, claiming it was a title bestowed by the Twelve for his cunning and speed, but in truth, he merely thought it sounded cool and intimidating. At one point, he even dyed his long, white hair into a bright red colour, so that he would look like a fiery comet as he rushed through the streets and rooftops. Their childhood was happy... but it was not to last.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Escape from Ala Mhigo===&lt;br /&gt;
Vailyx was eight years old when the Empire lay waste to Ala Mhigo in their campaign to take over Eorzea. F'une attempted to sneak C'aseen and his family onto a refugee caravan, fleeing the city amongst the chaos. This act cost F'une his life, but ensured his comrade's safety. V'ira's family lost or missing, C'aseen thought it would be best to take his family far from Ala Mhigo and start over, eventually booking them a passage to Limsa Lominsa, the entire journey from Ala Mhigo to Limsa taking two years. It would be there that V'ira bore another child, a small blue-haired boy with amber eyes named Caen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Caen, The Amber Dawn===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen's childhood in Limsa Lominsa was a rather happy one. C'aseen sought to join the ranks of the Maelstrom, the Grand Company of Limsa, and Vailyx sought to become a warrior like his father. This left Caen alone most of the time, when he was able to wander off without V'ira. Caen was the representation of a new and happy life for the four, and a hope for the future. As Caen grew older, he adopted a mixture of his family traits. While his mischief wasn't as grand as Vailyx's schemes back in Ala Mhigo, they often led to street brawls with the local bullies who beat Caen, as he was a miqo'te with the hyuran name. During the brawls, many of the &amp;quot;bullies&amp;quot; came to like the boy, as the miqo'te never fought as if he was fighting for his life and instead fighting for the fun of it. It became clear that it was difficult to become enemies with the boy, and most of his hyran adversaries turned into good friends or friendly rivals. When he wasn't tussling in the lower decks, Caen would climb to the higher towers of Limsa, looking out at the sea to watch his father fish, and see ships come in to port. He came to know almost everyone, as he was quite nosey, and always was willing to lend a helping hand to a downtrodden stranger. V'ira would teach the young kitten to sing, to aid him in his quest to make all strangers happy, but not without warning the boy of the dangers of the world.&lt;br /&gt;
By the time Caen grew to his ninth year, he was already a thorn in his older brother's side. Constantly trying to show Vailyx up was a favorite pastime of his, while Vailyx had grown cold by comparison, still mourning the deaths of his two best friends Tiergan and Lurial. He was well on his way to becoming worthy enough to study in the ways of a Dragoon, which Caen would lovingly attempt to mimic. By Caen's tenth year, Vailyx has sought to forgive himself for not being able to save Tiergan and Lurial, seeing much of his younger self in Caen, who would bring light and joy to his terrible sorrow and cast it aside. For the first time, Caen was able to break through his older brother's cold exterior, and the brothers would bond happily for the next year. Another year passed... and with it, the Grand Companies of Eorzea prepared to meet Nael Van Darnus's VIIth Legion on the fields of Carteneau.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Cruelty of Fate===&lt;br /&gt;
C'aseen and Vailyx had made up their minds to fight alongside the Maelstrom forces at Carteneau. Yet, as Dalamud had lowered closer to Eorzea, Vailyx feared that the battle would not be won, and urged V'ira to take Caen on a ship and flee the continent. Caen took this terribly, and took up his practice lance, trying to fight Vailyx to let him go with them. Vailyx, out of options, slashed the practice lance in half and cut his brother across the cheek in an attempt to make his brother hate him, so that he wouldn't want to join them at Carteneau. Caen, now sporting a nasty cross-shaped wound, flung himself at his brother, understanding his fears and embracing him one last time. Vailyx would hand his mother letters to Caen, and, embracing them one last time, rushed off to join C'aseen at the battle. Caen and V'ira were able to get passage to a ship heading for another continent with other refugees, yet as Dalamud drew ever closer, the captain of their ship, Kruz Rosgaldornyn, revealed his ugly plot to turn the ship towards Ul'dah, and sell everyone aboard as slaves into the Ul'dahn underground black market. Kruz would attempt to seize V'ira and have his way with the miqo'te woman before they arrived, but Caen begged and pleaded him to release her, offering his own life in exchange. A twisted being, Kruz agreed, and took the young lad to his quarters, where he tortured the boy for making him look weak in front of his crew. As the beating grew worse, Caen could not take it anymore and bit the man's ear off. Enraged, Kruz tied the boy down and prepared to cut Caen's tail off. Before the blow was struck, V'ira burst down the door, stunning Kruz with a glass bottle to the face and released Caen. As they rushed to a lifeboat, the waves grew restless and aggressive, and the skies turned violent. Flares rained down from the sky, flinging themselves into the deep ocean. Amidst the chaos, V'ira removed her violet earrings and wrapped them around Vailyx's letters, tucking them into Caen's jacket. She embraced her son for the last time, and the ship was hit by one of Bahamut's flares. Caen was thrust into the air along with debris from the ship, the bodies of refugees, and V'ira. He reached for her, in an attempt to fly towards her again, and screamed her name, just as she was engulfed by flames. Caen hit the water with a terrible force... and fell into the abyss of his mind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Awakening to Null===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen awoke to a warm bed, in the small home of Faust Jabari, a fisherman in Vesper Bay. He had been asleep for nearly a week. When Faust asked the boy his name, the boy could not recall. In fact he knew not who he was, nor where he was... nor why Faust had no tail when the lad had one. Faust attempted to look through the letters Caen had washed ashore with, yet they were almost too water-logged to read. All he could make out is they were addressed to &amp;quot;Caen&amp;quot;... from someone named Vailyx. Taking a shot in the dark, Faust would return Caen's name to him, and gift the lost miqo'te with that of his own surname, &amp;quot;Jabari&amp;quot; until his memories returned. Caen was timid and shy around the other kids in Vesper, while many of them were around their eleventh year, as he was, he felt terrified to be around people. His days were spent trying to piece together who he was, and his nightmares were plagued by a vision of his chasing a red-haired knight with a lance into a blinding horizon, yet he could never catch them. It wasn't until Faust took Caen along with him to trade his wares at Ul'dah, did remnants of himself return.&lt;br /&gt;
Faust briefly left Caen with Momodi of ''The Quicksand'' while he went to trade his wares at market. It was then that Caen witnessed the sorrow of a beautiful lady named Sarisa Clementine. A band of adventurers, her comrades tried anything they could to get her to find hope that her lover had survived the Battle Of Carteneau, but she would turn them away. Caen was overcome with a need to make her smile, and approached her, initiating conversation. Sarisa was so shocked that a mysterious boy would just walk up and chat with her, that she obliged. The two would meet at ''The Quicksand'' and talk often, about Caen's missing memories, and of Sarisa and her love for her fiancee, Lieru. And one day, Caen sang to her... a ballad conjured from the depths of his mind... and for the first time in a long time, she smiled. It was then that Caen decided, it was smiles like hers he wanted to one day protect. And he would be the light in the darkness for those who had lost their own. He dreamt of a world without sorrow, without war or bloodshed, and became determined to become strong enough to herald the arrival of such a world.&lt;br /&gt;
==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;font-size:40px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;After Meteor&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:RainyCaen.jpg|left|RainyCaen.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
===Five Years Later... (2.0)===&lt;br /&gt;
After convincing Faust to journey to Mor Dhona and find his wife Maria, Caen had sang in the streets of Ul'dah for gil, while also finding an opportunity to become a messenger bearing secret letters for groups that would not like to see them taken from moogles. It was Naih'ir Molkot and Momodi of ''The Quicksand'' that would offer Caen a real job, washing dishes and serving the patrons of the inn. During this time, Caen would also find habit of &amp;quot;perching&amp;quot; atop the rails of the room, conversing with strangers and getting them to detail their adventures outside the desert, having no memory of the world beyond. Caen still yearns for a place to call home once again, and prays that the Twelve might offer a hint as to why his memory was taken from him. Still, he wields a confident smirk and a bright yellow attire, in a hope to be a light for everyone and make them smile...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Brave New Realm (2.1)===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen could say his life changed when he met a group of adventurers in the Quicksand. The first man was a Dragoon named Artorias Mason. At first the Huyr was a marvel to behold, capable of endless feats and even more knowledge. He had had everything... and lost it all to the Empire. He was an inspiration... yet darkness existed in the mans heart having lost all he held dear. He denied the Gods existence and placed Caen's undying faith to the Twelve among the ranks of the pathetic; an event that shook the boy to his core and giving him doubt for the first time.  During a trip out to Crescent Cove, Caen and Artorias run in with Garrett Slater, a free-paladin in training. Caen shows them both a crashed Garlean vessel, rusted and long-dead, when they are attacked by a giant yarzon. After defeating the vilekin, Garrett and Artorias meet in private when Caen is suddenly caught in a Garlean ambush. In a narrow victory, the group is able to flee towards Ul'dah to return Caen to the Quicksand. The following day, Caen was approached by a woman named Kelvena, who searches for her father Ikus and his mercenary company Lost Rogues. When she finds out that Caen has never been outside Ul'dah, she, Artorias, and Garrett decide to take the boy to Limsa Lominsa. There, it is revealed that Artorias plans to kill himself after fighting the primals and defeating Gaius von Baelsar. Although Caen pleads with him, Artorias' mind is made up and he eventually leaves. It is then that Kelvena and Garrett take Caen to Gridania... where Caen visits the Lancer's Guild and finds the Last Letter of the Swifttail. These last written words of his older brother, Vailyx ensure that Caen really is Caen, and that he should continue to live his own life as his father and mother had wanted. Still wishing he could remember his family, Caen tries to find solace among his new friends. Artorias senses the boy's strife and bids Kelvena look after Caen like an older sister.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Shards of the Forsaken (2.2)===&lt;br /&gt;
One night, Caen began hearing voices in his head, including images and emotions felt by people he didn't know. This led him to run off into the Gold Court unable to control his own pain. Garrett, Kelvena, and Artorias would try to help Caen... only to be approached by two enigmatic miqo'te. Tiergan Vashir and An'nai came to find Caen, but after Artorias threatened Tiergan, the miqo'te let slip that Caen may, in fact have a shard within him, allowing him to tap into latent power and talk with others over long distances. It was only after Caen got his control over his emotions that Brynhilde Wulf appeared before the lad. After inspecting the boy, she made it clear to everyone that he was not one of the shard bearers... but in his mind, Caen could hear her saying something different. He was a shard-bearer... and a rune slowly affixed itself above Caen's heart.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sand and Snow (2.3/2.4)===&lt;br /&gt;
It was the day when Caen was waiting to be deployed with a handful of other new Flame cadets to the Sagolii desert. The information broker, Lurial Vashir found Caen first and told him the truth. His family was still alive, and his older cousins had survived the moonfall five years ago. Shocked, the miqo'te boy grew quickly attached to both Lurial and Tiergan.&lt;br /&gt;
Caen's Flame deployment also ended quickly, as sand worms attacked the site of the training grounds. With the telepathic assistance from afar through the link, Caen was able to drag the soldier caravan and a few survivors back to Ul'dah. Caen was granted a scout position, which was limited to parcel and supply delivery, if only for the boy's speed and diligence.&lt;br /&gt;
The dark hood of the Entudenin reared its head and began to attack shard-bearers, Caen included. At one point, Caen was pushed off of the high walls of Coerthas by a dark agent of the Entudenin. The boy was paralyzed from the waist down and after three days, was found by Tiergan, who had to fight past two agents to rescue his cousin. Caen was taken to the Shroud for extensive healing and afterwards, found himself hiding from the shard-bearer headquarters, afraid of being attacked by another of the dark hoods.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Taken (2.55)===&lt;br /&gt;
As the moon cycled around the world over and over, Caen took up his old errand-tail ways by delivering letters for different people in Ul'dah, and occasionally the other nations of Eorzea. However, due to the sensitive information he unwittingly carried, he was made a target by the Syndicate agents after he was seen handing over letters addressed to the Sultana. On the night where the Eorzean Alliance were greeting the ambassadors from Ishgard, fighting began to break out in the city. Caen was chased by a few of the brass blades through the Gold Court, and nearly made it to the Royal Promenade, where he was knocked out by an ambush. Caen was imprisoned, and then sold into a slave ring with the rest of the prisoners that sat in the Ul'dahn cells. &lt;br /&gt;
==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;font-size:40px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Heavensward&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:CaenBard.jpg|left|CaenBard.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
=== These Eyes of Mine (3.1)===&lt;br /&gt;
It was soon discovered that Caen had been sold to an illegal gladiator ring where slaves were matched against each other for fictional lands and titles in a game played by the nobility of Ul'dah. The boy was forced to surrender his self-made vows to never take a life, as some fights in the ring were kill or be killed. His only possessions were a wicked pair of twin daggers that he was taught to use by another fellow slave named Yae. After numerous attempts to escape and push letters from windows, Lurial Vashir and a number of brave souls, including her brother Tiergan, were able to locate Caen and organized an assault on the ringleader's mansion. Only known as her moniker, &amp;quot;The Woman&amp;quot;, Caen's master threw all of her slaves and guards at the band of rescuers and even drugged Caen and set him upon his former friends. Caen was rendered unconscious during the fight and taken to the Forgotten Springs for healing and rest. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After waking up, Caen felt terrified to meet his cousins and friends again. He perceived his soul and eyes to be stained with the lives he was forced to take during his time as a gladiator. For the time being, he subtly struggles to continue wearing the mask of unbridled happiness just as he did before. The lad now carries a pain in his heart and wonders if he even deserves to live after betraying his promise to never stain his hands with blood. In spite of his inner turmoil, he made preparations to become an adventurer himself and sought employment in Ishgard, recently united with the Eorzean Alliance. Employed as a supply runner for Betelgeuse Bordeaux's Button Shoppe, Caen finds himself working early mornings; running across the realm to spread elaborate buttons to the rest of Eorzea's markets and weaver guilds.

=== Menphina's Blessing (3.2)===&lt;br /&gt;
Shortly after Bordeaux's business really took off, Caen stepped away from the company to focus more on himself. He was plagued by nightmares of the blood he had been forced to spill on the gladiator ring and it seemed that the blood would never wash off. It was around this time, after returning to Ul'dah, he befriended a keeper of the moon named Kiht'a Zajhiri. He and Kiht'a both shared age and a similar pattern in their pasts. After a few meetings, the friendship developed into a young romance. Although Khit'a had expressed his desire to be open with their relationship, even Caen could not deny how fascinated he was with the keeper and spent as much time with Kiht'a as he could. The two did nearly everything together and shared a room in the Goblet for a time. Caen subconsciously felt at home and loved for the first time, feeling his hidden sadness and loneliness drift away. He developed confidence as a mate and wished to become a stronger person for Kiht'a, who was skilled as a hunter. The seeker took it upon himself to practice archery and set his blood-stained daggers aside. Their peace would not last, as a hyur possessed by voidsent stalked the keeper numerous times. Caen attempted to defend him, but found himself injured on numerous occasions. The two practiced caution together, yet the two came to the conclusion that they both needed training in their own martial practices. Both of the miqo'te eventually decided to part their separate ways.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Ballad of the Scarlet Devil (3.3)===&lt;br /&gt;
Deep amidst the Shroud, Caen stalked creatures of the forest, tapping into his hunting instinct as a seeker miqo'te. After a few pelts had been gathered and meat taken, the miqo'te found himself upon a lone lalafel who was strumming a lyre in the most hauntingly beautiful fashion. The notes echoed in Caen's heart and soul and seemed to vibrate every branch in their vicinity. A mist descended around them, and from the small being's lyre, came aetherial light. Without warning, a band of men cloaked in red rushed towards the lalafel. Caen shouted for the lalafel, who stopped playing and readied a bow for battle while Caen fired shots from his own bow from the bushes. The men dead, the enigmatic lalafel introduced himself as Rojiko Tojiko, claiming he was sent from Dravania to stop a ritual that would summon a voidsent lord. He also claimed that his melody lulled disturbed souls back to sleep, for if all of them were to awaken, a terrible darkness would be wrought across the realm. The men in red traveled to several areas of the Shroud corrupting aether, causing discord with the Elementals, and upon chanting an ancient ballad, they hoped to summon Forenzikon the Purge, who would bathe the lands in an azure light, disrupting the Elemental balance forever. Caen did not hesitate to join Rojiko and the two set off to purify the Shroud. Caen explained how he had felt when Rojiko played his melody and the lalafel took notice of Caen's gift for song as they walked together. Before they slept, Rojiko showed the miqo'te how to play the lute, but commented on how Caen could never hope to play with such power without a soulstone. Even still, Caen was happy to learn Rojiko's many tools of the trade: Trick arrows, poison arrowheads, along with a few songs to play, should Caen ever obtain a lute of his own. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Between fending off the red-cloaked men, Rojiko putting disturbed spirits to rest with song, and campfire tales, Caen hardly noticed weeks go by. In was before the final spirit could be laid to rest that the two were ambushed by Coeurlclaw bandits. Outnumbered, Caen and Rojiko were captured and the lalafel was gravely wounded. They begged to be freed as to prevent the voidsent from being awoken and Rojiko, out of desperation, finally persuaded the leader of the band to be able to entertain them all with a song. With a strange magic, the small bard lulled them all to sleep. He and Caen escaped, making great haste to the final resting place. Caen made use of every trick he had been taught, covering Rojiko to his last arrow as the lalafel played his final song. The trees shook as the spirit of the voidsent vanished and upon strumming his last string, Rojiko dropped to his knees. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After dressing each others wounds and enjoying their victory, Rojiko asked Caen to travel back to Dravania with him. Caen agreed, still unbelieving that they had beaten back such a force. The journey was oddly peaceful and upon arriving to the Hinterlands, Rojiko bid Caen goodbye, simply saying where he was going, the miqo'te couldn't follow. He passed his lyre to the lad, making the seeker promise to remember the importance of song and how even something so simple as a melody could take back the night.&lt;br /&gt;

==Trivia &amp;amp; Misc==&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen will sometimes make subtle references to Final Fantasy IX.&lt;br /&gt;

::* Caen will often be played with techno/dance/hip hop music in the background and his soundtrack depicts songs of this genre.

This is a reference to Vysce's favorite music as a child.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen's desire to &amp;quot;protect everyone's smiles&amp;quot; is a reference to the Kamen Rider series, particularly Kamen Rider OOO.&lt;br /&gt;

==Profile==&lt;br /&gt;
===Appearance===&lt;br /&gt;
J'khobi has long, jet-black hair with blond tips. His right eye is red while his left eye is violet and his cheeks are marked with simplistic tattoos. Growing up under the Sagolii sun have darkly bronzed the skin of the seekers from Khobi's nomadic Jackal tribe. He can usually be seen wearing a white or cyan hempen undershirt with a brightly colored lace bow tied around his neck. He also wears nature colored culottes, leather shin guards, shoes and finger-less gloves. His medic outfit is vastly different: Sterile while and black gloves, tight leggings, and boots are worn to not only aid in handling most wounds, but prevent infection and blood from touching his skin. His white robs is especially unique; adorned not only with fancy white, black, and gold design, but also aetherial crystals to assist J'khobi if his own stores of aether are lacking. His prized possession, which the seeker wears on his forehead, is a custom-made tri-lens aetherometer than will display approximate aetherflow of whomever or whatever he is viewing. One of the lens appears to be faulty, however, as J'khobi cannot figure out it's function. The medicinal ensemble was a gift to the seeker after he cured the grand-daughter of Doctor Boris Lazarius from a rare strain of aetherial poison. The equipment belonged to the highlander doctor's son, who had died in the Calamity of the Sixth Astral Era.&lt;br /&gt;
===Personality===&lt;br /&gt;
'' &amp;quot;Has not been the same, ehe, uh... no. No! Not since the deserrrt. Find, I do, solace in healing otherrrs. Mebbe, as I do this? Heal myself, I do.&amp;quot; '' -J'khobi Tia&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
J'khobi is a very jittery miqo'te. His ears and tail often twitch at some invisible irritation and he has difficulties making sentences without stuttering or cackling to himself. The wide-eyed seeker sometimes has no sense of personal space or decorum as he examines strangers and their equipment with genuine fascination, often accidentally blinding them with the light given off by his aetherial optic. He flinches when touched and sometimes will stare into space for minutes at a time. His anxiety aside, J'khobi usually never hesitates when his services are needed and makes himself available to be there for his friends. While generally cheerful, he conceals his worries and loneliness to all except friends who ask him. It is the miqo'te's belief that as he cures the wounds of strangers and the world, he will simultaneously cure himself of his innate sorrow and wavering sanity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Combat==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:J'khobi_Medic.jpg|right|J'khobi_Medic.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
===Specialization===&lt;br /&gt;
'''Arcanist''' : It was a rare thing indeed for a seeker to be born with such high aetherial quantity and the nuhn of his tribe, J'rhaskir, did not hesitate in making J'khobi a valuable asset. Training from a young age, J'khobi was given selective reading and writing education and, of course, instruction on how to manipulate aether with an arcanist grimoire. Specifically, J'khobi studied the affects of aetherial poison from a traveling scholar named Zuzogin Zukagin. The seeker can bestow aetherial infection and remove it using the ink in his tome as a conduit with aetherflow and deal unaspected damage with his &amp;quot;aetherial ribbons.&amp;quot; Aside from offensive magicks, Khobi also deals heavily in the curative nature, providing succor to what ails his comrades and protecting them with magic shielding. His specialty, of course, is the remedying of poison, aetherial or otherwise. He was given a lot of practice in his life as a Tia from the sagolii desert as his nuhn would overdose on drugs and poison alike and have Khobi heal him. J'rhaskir would repeat this often saying, aside from combat, this act made him feel more alive than ever.&lt;br /&gt;
==Tendencies==&lt;br /&gt;

==Story==&lt;br /&gt;
{{spoiler}}&lt;br /&gt;
'' &amp;quot;Serve and protect, little star. Only you can do this. We will be in your heart and pray for you every night. When you look up at night, seek Menphina and know we are with you.&amp;quot; '' -Grandmother Adel&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It all began with the greed of the one they call J'rhaskir the Emberclaw. A Jackal from the Sagolii who fancied himself a God of war, he broke away to start his own tribe of hunters. In his blind ambition to be the most powerful sun-seeker alive, he sought any means for extra strength without recourse. This led him to be addicted to multiple powders and drugs, the best made by a clan of keeper miqo'te from the northern woods led by the mysterious Grandmother Adel. After trading too many resources for a combat stimulant, however, the Emberclaw's tribe began to suffer in a conflict against another seeker tribe that J'rhaskir had purposely agitated. He made a deal with Adel for supplies and powder. At the site of the exchange, instead of paying for the supplies with the agreed upon price, seeker warriors ambushed the keepers, killing them all and stealing the supplies, allowing J'rhaskir and his hunters to beat back his enemies in the Sagolii.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Outraged, Adel initiated a shadow-war in accordance with her own creed: ''&amp;quot;The Path of Knives.&amp;quot;'' Capable assassins would journey to the Sagolii, track down J'rhaskir, and kill him. While impulsive and reckless, the Emberclaw was no fool. Preparing for the keeper's counterattack, each assassin dispatched was taken out. J'rhaskir sent his own warriors to the woods to take out the entirety of the keeper clan, and bring him the head of Adel. One of these warriors was J'khobi, sired by J'rhaskir himself. The golden haired and red-eyed arcanist prodigy swore to take down the keeper matriarch with a small team of hunters, each gifted in the art of offensive magic. Even though half of the tribe wished to call a truce and stop the sudden attacks, J'rhaskir agreed, sending the boy into the Shroud to murder Adel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The seeker's ambuscade would have been devastating had J'khobi and his hunters been more patient. Instead of killing Adel, they killed her daughter Lahlih. Lahlih's mate Rihkk'a dove in to protect Adel and Lahlih, yet, seeing his love fall drove him into a rage and he tore apart the hunters before J'khobi put a dagger in the keeper's throat. J'khobi was outmatched by Adel, who bound the seeker,imprisoned him, and mourned the death of her daughter. Lahlih and Rihkk'a left behind many daughters and one son. All of them swore revenge, but none sought it greater than the young male. He met with Adel and offered his entire being to take down J'rhaskir... and a plan was hatched.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Khujato.jpg|center|Khujato.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
The greatest of magical glamours can cover a person who has a vast aether capacity. By what only could be divine coincidence, Lahlih's son was the same age and build of the seeker assassin J'khobi. With the help of the strongest mages in the Adel's clan, they would teach the keeper boy to become J'khobi, covering his body in a glamour to fool the seekers into believing ''he'' was the son of J'rhaskir. And when the time was right, the keeper boy would take his revenge and return. With the glamour stable and learning all he could of the real seeker, he set out to find the Emberclaw Tribe, telling J'rhaskir that he failed in killing the Matriarch Adel but had wounded her greatly. This satisfied the warrior of the sands, yet, he beat the glamoured seeker for his failure, regardless. Every sun he would serve the nuhn and his tribe without question. He was the rat of the tribe and though he was in pain, the keeper boy was patient. He would serve and protect his keeper family.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Something happened that the hidden keeper did not expect. Many of J'khobi's sisters as well as a few other hunters did not like the way J'rhaskir led them. The way he punished J'khobi and other hunters for their failure was frightening. No one was allowed to leave the tribe or trade without the nuhn's say. A plot soon developed by J'khobi's older brothers, J'dhoon and J'rhis, two Tias who journeyed farther than the nuhn allowed under the guise of &amp;quot;hunting missions.&amp;quot; They were, by all definition, adventurers in their own right and brought stories back to J'khobi, who, in turn showed them kindness and would cover for their long absence if J'rhaskir demanded their location. It was J'rhis who noticed a change in his once-impulsive young brother, yet... as the change was favorable, he did not question it. Together, the three planned to kill the nuhn while he slept...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dhoon and Rhis attacked first, cutting down the Emberclaw's hunters. Rhaskir erupted in a fury, brandishing his wicked axe at the seekers. Rhis pushed Khobi out of the way and was dealt a mortal wound. While J'rhaskir was distracted, J'khobi took the chance he was waiting for. With all of his aetherial power, the glamoured keeper struck J'rhaskir, blasting his body with violent shadow flares while Dhoon stabbed his nuhn through the chest. The Emberclaw hunters that remained loyal to their nuhn were outraged. J'khobi turned to see the rest of the tribe who looked on in shock. Fighting broke out and J'khobi and J'dhoon ran out of the tribe grounds and into the desert night. A terrible sandstorm summoned out of nowhere, and glamoured keeper boy was lost.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even the boy does not know how long he was in the desert alone. He had lost J'dhoon in the storm and all he could do was hunt for food and drink and try to not be burned by the sun or frozen by the night. He began to slowly lose himself in the heat and his mind clung to the story he had trained himself to believe for the sake of his revenge... and he believed he really was J'khobi... that he was not at fault for the death of his nuhn. He forgot his keeper origins and even his glamour began to destabilize. One of his eyes turned to it's natural violet color, and his tail and hair began to revert to black. He wandered for suns until he collapsed in front of the jewel of the Thanalan, Ul'dah. Since his arrival, the jittery seeker remembers, ''&amp;quot;Serve and protect.&amp;quot;'' And so he would... he would heal the wounded strangers he meets and protect his new friends, hoping to mend his broken mind. On he lives without memory of his keeper origin.. and his family still prays for his safe return.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;''&amp;quot;Believe in me, for my resolve does not waver, nor can it be fractured.&amp;quot; ~Vailyx the Swifttail''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Caen Jabari''' is a young miqo'te who was found washed ashore in Vesper Bay on the day of the Great Calamity. Caen remembered nothing of his first eleven years, and woke up to a world he did not remember living in. All he had on him, besides the tattered rags that covered his body, were water-logged letters addressed to &amp;quot;Caen&amp;quot; from an older brother &amp;quot;Vailyx&amp;quot; and held together by a pair of violet earrings. Thankfully, the kinder fisherman, Faust Jabari was able to find the young miqo'te and semi-raised the boy to be able to live on his own. After five years, not only has Eorzea changed, but so has the young seeker of the sun.&lt;br /&gt;

===Appearance===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;You may be Ul'dah's desert canary, but you bear the heart of the phoenix, Caen.  You can always reignite and fly again.&amp;quot;'' ~Tiergan Vashir&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caen sports a wide-eyed, youthful face with bronzed skin due to living under the desert sun for years. Although he's lived in Ul'dah in the summers he remembers, Caen sports a slight Lominsan accent due to being raised in the city beside the Rhotano. His eyes are a bright amber and his large canines tend to show when he grins with his teeth. The lad also sports a shaggy mane of royal blue hair that would attempt to curl inwards over his face, yet it is mostly kept covered by a light head-wrapping. On his left cheek, he bears a X-shaped scar. Caen is best well known by his choice of attire; his bright yellow-coloured garb, to show off his love for the sunlight. His favorite articles of clothing usually include loose sarouel and leather boots or crakows. He prefers loose, billowy shirts in lieu of proper button-downs and is prone to sleeve-less vests and sometimes revealing chest pieces.                                                                 &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
===Personality===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:CaenJabari.jpg|left|CaenJabari.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
Caen is wild and carefree making him a perfect candidate for odd jobs through-out Thanalan and Ul'dah herself. A friend to everyone, the boy is cheerful and will rarely hesitate to chat up a stranger. His favorite pastime is residing within ''The Quicksand'' to watch the comings and goings of adventurers, occasionally prodding them for tales of their adventures outside the desert. This inspired him to finally leave Ul'dah to experience adventures of his own. Prone to mischief and hardly watching where he steps, Caen often finds himself in troublesome situations and relies on his quick-thinking and unorthodox methods of survival. The miqo'te is always in high-spirits and is at his best around friends, to whom he is very loyal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;font-size:40px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Martial Arts&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
===Fighting Style===&lt;br /&gt;
::*Caen is naturally gifted with hand-to-hand combat, but is clumsy as a toddler when it comes to a sword. During his childhood in Limsa Lominsa, he was often made fun of for his Hyuran name, which led to many street brawls with the local bullies. He taught himself how to punch, kick, and dodge out of attacks when overwhelmed, becoming effective at fighting many targets at once.&lt;br /&gt;
::*When his brother Vailyx began to take up the art of the Lance, Caen naturally went out and carved his own pole-arm out of a fallen tree branch to teach himself to do that as well, desiring skills better than his perfect brother. Vailyx was never to busy to show Caen up and belittle the boy on his flawed techniques, yet managed to teach him proper form over the course of three years. By berating his younger brother on what not to do, he effectively taught him how to use the lance as an extension of his arm. And although Caen was never old enough to leave Limsa and study the lance abroad, Vailyx was secretly proud of Caen.&lt;br /&gt;
::*Caen continued to pave his way through the Thanalan with his fists after he had awoken from losing his memory. After saving his foster-father, Faust, from a yarzon swarm a month after awakening, he took Caen  to the Pugilist's Guild within Ul'dah, where the boy would hone his skills. While mostly his training pertained of running errands for the Holyfist, Hamon, Caen did occasionally teach himself a less-clumsy fighting style after watching the students spar.&lt;br /&gt;
::*Caen often speaks of how beautiful and interesting he believes swords to be, but he cannot properly wield one on his own. When he does, he finds the blade &amp;quot;rejecting&amp;quot; him. Still he finds them incredibly intriguing.&lt;br /&gt;
::*Recently, the yellow-clad miqo'te has shown an impressive form using twin daggers. His agility from his training under Hamon and acrobatic nature have benefitted him greatly in close-quarters combat.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Aliases/Nicknames===&lt;br /&gt;
::* '''Canary''': After many attempts to get the lonely adventurer Sarisa Clementine to smile, Caen finally succeeded after singing a ballad to her one morning. She smiled for the first time in two years, since Carteneau, and called him her Canary. It has become a rare nickname for Caen, as few know of it, yet he will cherish it forever. It was also a name called to him by his mother, V'ira, when she taught him to sing as a child.&lt;br /&gt;
::* '''Chocobo''': Called this by his close friends, Caen is often compared to the yellow flightless bird of Eorzea, due to his bright yellow choice of clothing.&lt;br /&gt;
::* '''Blue Wolf''': Only the residents of Vesper Bay would call Caen by such. Once when he was skinny-dipping in the Bay, a group of bullies thought it would be funny to steal his clothes. Stark-naked, Caen stealthily tried to make it back to Faust's house to no avail, as the streets were rather crowded. He soon came across a pail of blue paint, and, seeing it as his only option, dumped it all over himself. He would then dart through the streets, on all fours, to Faust's home, terrifying the citizenry who lay sight to the &amp;quot;Blue Wolf Monster&amp;quot;. After Faust explained the truth to everyone to avoid panic, it became a running gag within the small town's residents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;  font-size:30px;  color:#FFFFFF&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Relationships&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
===Family===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Father: C'aseen the Poet, ''deceased''&lt;br /&gt;
::* Mother: V'ira Tarja, ''deceased''&lt;br /&gt;
::* Older Brother: Vailyx the Swifttail, ''missing in action''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Foster Father: Faust Jabari, A hyuran fisherman and resident of Vesper Bay. He was fishing off the coast of Crescent Cove when he noticed a small boy clinging to a large piece of driftwood in the sea. He became Caen's foster father, and attempted to teach Caen the ways of the world the boy had forgotten about.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Cousin: '''[[Tiergan Vashir]]''', One of Caen's only living blood-relatives. Since he learned that Caen is his long-lost cousin, Teigan is fiercely protective of the lad, trying to be the brother Vailyx would have been to Caen. Caen loves his cousin dearly, and often tries to act out to make the older miqo'te proud of him. Caen, unbeknownst to Tiergan, would often stalk his cousin in order to study him and adopt his mannerisms. Still, much of Tiergan's past is a mystery to Caen, as the boy is unsure whether it is inappropriate to ask. Even still, friends often mistake Tiergan and Caen for brothers, and the two would go along with it, as Caen feels that Tiergan is a great older brother, in Vailyx's absence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Cousin: '''[[Lurial Vashir]]''', One of Caen's only living blood-relatives. Luri was able to track down the youngest son of her aunt V'ira to the streets of Ul'dah. When she connected the dots, she came to Caen and revealed the truth to him. While Caen hides inner worry of being apart of a family again, he cannot help but feel at home again, in a place where he belongs. Until her recent disappearance, Caen had stayed in her home in the city of Ul'dah... now Caen searches for his cousin hoping to reunite them again as she once did for him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Bodyguard: '''[[Furious Storm]]''', The bodyguard of Lurial Vashir, Caen and &amp;quot;Fury&amp;quot; instantly became best friends when Caen decided to break the shyness between them by bringing the roegadyn a warm apple tart after his first night at Lurial's home. Now the two are basically inseparable, and Caen never forgets to bring the large mute treats from around Thanalan. While he did vanish around the same time as Lurial, he still sends him treats and candy via moogle post, as they can apparently track the roegadyn better than Caen could.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Friends===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caen has had the fortune of meeting all kinds of souls by hanging near ''The Quicksand'' after leaving Vesper Bay when Faust journeyed to Mor Dhona to find his wife, Maria. Some have touched his lives more than others and even after quitting his job serving patrons for Momodi, he still eats most of his meals there and hangs around for a good while after. Being the jewel of the sand, Ul'dah is frequented by many and Caen makes a good attempt to meet them all, offering strangers a friendly flap of his ears and a story exchange to boot.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
((friend's list coming soon T-T))&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Chocobos===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen has always had a great affinity for befriending chocobos. He often wished to become a chocobo porter or breeder when he was younger. Some will find he actually talks to them. In moments of stress, the lad will often wander near chocobos and pet/talk to them. Since the birds seem to enjoy his company, many nearby porters or breeders don't mind his presence. It's not entirely sure if Caen wears yellow to display his love for chocobos or for the sun, since he favors both. Yet when asked, he will mention that he might favor chocobos more because you can't hug the sun. He dreams of having a chocobo of his own someday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Enemies===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caen doesn't have any real enemies that he knows of. He has lived an honest life and cannot hold a grudge to save it. Even when disrespected or belittled by an individual, he is quick to forgive all after sleeping it off, and greets them the next day, cheerful as ever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

===Common Rumors===&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;That there is the boy who works at Momodi's place, wiv ol' Naih'ir... the one who's always on them rails. I dunno how'ee does it, but his smile sure brightens up a room!&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;What sort of fool wears such bright yellow? If I wore such on the frontlines, archers would have me dead in seconds. If you ask me, he's just asking for death.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;Such a cutie... but what sort of name is Caen for a miqo'te? Doesn't he respect his own kind?&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moderate Rumors===&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;Shhh, don't stare... that's the boy who was kidnapped. The one by that ruffian Cade... the poor dear must've been so frightened.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot; Hah! Y'know Momodi won't let him drink? Says he's too young fer such things... but I saw him get a good boxin' 'round the ears last time he was sniffin' 'round it! Haw Haw Haw!&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;That little shite ate all my fish! Orphans... hate their scum!&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;font-size:40px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;The Story&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:CaenByEdge.jpg|right|CaenByEdge.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
===The Legacy of C'aseen the Poet===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen's father, known as C'aseen the Poet by his brothers in arms, was a monk in the ranks of the Fists of Rhalgr. At a young age, he abandoned his tribe along with his best friend F'une to study the ways of balance and the fist, and later came to unlock his hidden chakra. Although he claimed to be a pacifist, C'aseen yearned for unmatched power so that he could defend his way of life unopposed, whereas F'une was more aggressive, and fully embraced the way of The Destroyer. C'aseen would make a habit of sharing his small wealth with the less fortunate of Ala Mhigo, and aiding in small jobs among the lower class, behind F'une's back. He would thatch holes in roofs, gather game, and pull caravans himself. He was also known by his spouts of poetry that he would preach about the world and life. It was then, he met a woman named V'ira Tarja and fell madly in love with her. Traditions of his kind be damned, he would spend nights singing ballads to her... not knowing she was fighting feelings for him. Eventually they would come together and sire a white-haired boy who V'ira named Vailyx.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Vailyx, the Swifttail of Ala Mhigo===&lt;br /&gt;
Vailyx grew into a wild-cat like his mother, yet bore the confidence of his father. Fond of all manner of mischief, he grew up alongside his best friend and cousin Tiergan Vashir. Along with Tiergan's sister Lurial, the trio would cast bouts of chaos among the lower levels of Ala Mhigo. Dodoes would suddenly find their pens opened and run through the streets, food from merchant stalls would go missing, and there was even one incident when the three road atop a chocobo taken back from a corrupt tax collector for their neighbor, who was struggling to make ends meet. Vailyx was always there to save his friends from peril, coming out with a bloody nose and a few other bruises; his trade-mark fanged smirk not wavering. He named himself the ''Swifttail'' of Ala Mhigo, claiming it was a title bestowed by the Twelve for his cunning and speed, but in truth, he merely thought it sounded cool and intimidating. At one point, he even dyed his long, white hair into a bright red colour, so that he would look like a fiery comet as he rushed through the streets and rooftops. Their childhood was happy... but it was not to last.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Escape from Ala Mhigo===&lt;br /&gt;
Vailyx was eight years old when the Empire lay waste to Ala Mhigo in their campaign to take over Eorzea. F'une attempted to sneak C'aseen and his family onto a refugee caravan, fleeing the city amongst the chaos. This act cost F'une his life, but ensured his comrade's safety. V'ira's family lost or missing, C'aseen thought it would be best to take his family far from Ala Mhigo and start over, eventually booking them a passage to Limsa Lominsa, the entire journey from Ala Mhigo to Limsa taking two years. It would be there that V'ira bore another child, a small blue-haired boy with amber eyes named Caen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Caen, The Amber Dawn===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen's childhood in Limsa Lominsa was a rather happy one. C'aseen sought to join the ranks of the Maelstrom, the Grand Company of Limsa, and Vailyx sought to become a warrior like his father. This left Caen alone most of the time, when he was able to wander off without V'ira. Caen was the representation of a new and happy life for the four, and a hope for the future. As Caen grew older, he adopted a mixture of his family traits. While his mischief wasn't as grand as Vailyx's schemes back in Ala Mhigo, they often led to street brawls with the local bullies who beat Caen, as he was a miqo'te with the hyuran name. During the brawls, many of the &amp;quot;bullies&amp;quot; came to like the boy, as the miqo'te never fought as if he was fighting for his life and instead fighting for the fun of it. It became clear that it was difficult to become enemies with the boy, and most of his hyran adversaries turned into good friends or friendly rivals. When he wasn't tussling in the lower decks, Caen would climb to the higher towers of Limsa, looking out at the sea to watch his father fish, and see ships come in to port. He came to know almost everyone, as he was quite nosey, and always was willing to lend a helping hand to a downtrodden stranger. V'ira would teach the young kitten to sing, to aid him in his quest to make all strangers happy, but not without warning the boy of the dangers of the world.&lt;br /&gt;
By the time Caen grew to his ninth year, he was already a thorn in his older brother's side. Constantly trying to show Vailyx up was a favorite pastime of his, while Vailyx had grown cold by comparison, still mourning the deaths of his two best friends Tiergan and Lurial. He was well on his way to becoming worthy enough to study in the ways of a Dragoon, which Caen would lovingly attempt to mimic. By Caen's tenth year, Vailyx has sought to forgive himself for not being able to save Tiergan and Lurial, seeing much of his younger self in Caen, who would bring light and joy to his terrible sorrow and cast it aside. For the first time, Caen was able to break through his older brother's cold exterior, and the brothers would bond happily for the next year. Another year passed... and with it, the Grand Companies of Eorzea prepared to meet Nael Van Darnus's VIIth Legion on the fields of Carteneau.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Cruelty of Fate===&lt;br /&gt;
C'aseen and Vailyx had made up their minds to fight alongside the Maelstrom forces at Carteneau. Yet, as Dalamud had lowered closer to Eorzea, Vailyx feared that the battle would not be won, and urged V'ira to take Caen on a ship and flee the continent. Caen took this terribly, and took up his practice lance, trying to fight Vailyx to let him go with them. Vailyx, out of options, slashed the practice lance in half and cut his brother across the cheek in an attempt to make his brother hate him, so that he wouldn't want to join them at Carteneau. Caen, now sporting a nasty cross-shaped wound, flung himself at his brother, understanding his fears and embracing him one last time. Vailyx would hand his mother letters to Caen, and, embracing them one last time, rushed off to join C'aseen at the battle. Caen and V'ira were able to get passage to a ship heading for another continent with other refugees, yet as Dalamud drew ever closer, the captain of their ship, Kruz Rosgaldornyn, revealed his ugly plot to turn the ship towards Ul'dah, and sell everyone aboard as slaves into the Ul'dahn underground black market. Kruz would attempt to seize V'ira and have his way with the miqo'te woman before they arrived, but Caen begged and pleaded him to release her, offering his own life in exchange. A twisted being, Kruz agreed, and took the young lad to his quarters, where he tortured the boy for making him look weak in front of his crew. As the beating grew worse, Caen could not take it anymore and bit the man's ear off. Enraged, Kruz tied the boy down and prepared to cut Caen's tail off. Before the blow was struck, V'ira burst down the door, stunning Kruz with a glass bottle to the face and released Caen. As they rushed to a lifeboat, the waves grew restless and aggressive, and the skies turned violent. Flares rained down from the sky, flinging themselves into the deep ocean. Amidst the chaos, V'ira removed her violet earrings and wrapped them around Vailyx's letters, tucking them into Caen's jacket. She embraced her son for the last time, and the ship was hit by one of Bahamut's flares. Caen was thrust into the air along with debris from the ship, the bodies of refugees, and V'ira. He reached for her, in an attempt to fly towards her again, and screamed her name, just as she was engulfed by flames. Caen hit the water with a terrible force... and fell into the abyss of his mind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Awakening to Null===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen awoke to a warm bed, in the small home of Faust Jabari, a fisherman in Vesper Bay. He had been asleep for nearly a week. When Faust asked the boy his name, the boy could not recall. In fact he knew not who he was, nor where he was... nor why Faust had no tail when the lad had one. Faust attempted to look through the letters Caen had washed ashore with, yet they were almost too water-logged to read. All he could make out is they were addressed to &amp;quot;Caen&amp;quot;... from someone named Vailyx. Taking a shot in the dark, Faust would return Caen's name to him, and gift the lost miqo'te with that of his own surname, &amp;quot;Jabari&amp;quot; until his memories returned. Caen was timid and shy around the other kids in Vesper, while many of them were around their eleventh year, as he was, he felt terrified to be around people. His days were spent trying to piece together who he was, and his nightmares were plagued by a vision of his chasing a red-haired knight with a lance into a blinding horizon, yet he could never catch them. It wasn't until Faust took Caen along with him to trade his wares at Ul'dah, did remnants of himself return.&lt;br /&gt;
Faust briefly left Caen with Momodi of ''The Quicksand'' while he went to trade his wares at market. It was then that Caen witnessed the sorrow of a beautiful lady named Sarisa Clementine. A band of adventurers, her comrades tried anything they could to get her to find hope that her lover had survived the Battle Of Carteneau, but she would turn them away. Caen was overcome with a need to make her smile, and approached her, initiating conversation. Sarisa was so shocked that a mysterious boy would just walk up and chat with her, that she obliged. The two would meet at ''The Quicksand'' and talk often, about Caen's missing memories, and of Sarisa and her love for her fiancee, Lieru. And one day, Caen sang to her... a ballad conjured from the depths of his mind... and for the first time in a long time, she smiled. It was then that Caen decided, it was smiles like hers he wanted to one day protect. And he would be the light in the darkness for those who had lost their own. He dreamt of a world without sorrow, without war or bloodshed, and became determined to become strong enough to herald the arrival of such a world.&lt;br /&gt;
==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;font-size:40px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;After Meteor&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:RainyCaen.jpg|left|RainyCaen.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
===Five Years Later... (2.0)===&lt;br /&gt;
After convincing Faust to journey to Mor Dhona and find his wife Maria, Caen had sang in the streets of Ul'dah for gil, while also finding an opportunity to become a messenger bearing secret letters for groups that would not like to see them taken from moogles. It was Naih'ir Molkot and Momodi of ''The Quicksand'' that would offer Caen a real job, washing dishes and serving the patrons of the inn. During this time, Caen would also find habit of &amp;quot;perching&amp;quot; atop the rails of the room, conversing with strangers and getting them to detail their adventures outside the desert, having no memory of the world beyond. Caen still yearns for a place to call home once again, and prays that the Twelve might offer a hint as to why his memory was taken from him. Still, he wields a confident smirk and a bright yellow attire, in a hope to be a light for everyone and make them smile...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Brave New Realm (2.1)===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen could say his life changed when he met a group of adventurers in the Quicksand. The first man was a Dragoon named Artorias Mason. At first the Huyr was a marvel to behold, capable of endless feats and even more knowledge. He had had everything... and lost it all to the Empire. He was an inspiration... yet darkness existed in the mans heart having lost all he held dear. He denied the Gods existence and placed Caen's undying faith to the Twelve among the ranks of the pathetic; an event that shook the boy to his core and giving him doubt for the first time.  During a trip out to Crescent Cove, Caen and Artorias run in with Garrett Slater, a free-paladin in training. Caen shows them both a crashed Garlean vessel, rusted and long-dead, when they are attacked by a giant yarzon. After defeating the vilekin, Garrett and Artorias meet in private when Caen is suddenly caught in a Garlean ambush. In a narrow victory, the group is able to flee towards Ul'dah to return Caen to the Quicksand. The following day, Caen was approached by a woman named Kelvena, who searches for her father Ikus and his mercenary company Lost Rogues. When she finds out that Caen has never been outside Ul'dah, she, Artorias, and Garrett decide to take the boy to Limsa Lominsa. There, it is revealed that Artorias plans to kill himself after fighting the primals and defeating Gaius von Baelsar. Although Caen pleads with him, Artorias' mind is made up and he eventually leaves. It is then that Kelvena and Garrett take Caen to Gridania... where Caen visits the Lancer's Guild and finds the Last Letter of the Swifttail. These last written words of his older brother, Vailyx ensure that Caen really is Caen, and that he should continue to live his own life as his father and mother had wanted. Still wishing he could remember his family, Caen tries to find solace among his new friends. Artorias senses the boy's strife and bids Kelvena look after Caen like an older sister.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Shards of the Forsaken (2.2)===&lt;br /&gt;
One night, Caen began hearing voices in his head, including images and emotions felt by people he didn't know. This led him to run off into the Gold Court unable to control his own pain. Garrett, Kelvena, and Artorias would try to help Caen... only to be approached by two enigmatic miqo'te. Tiergan Vashir and An'nai came to find Caen, but after Artorias threatened Tiergan, the miqo'te let slip that Caen may, in fact have a shard within him, allowing him to tap into latent power and talk with others over long distances. It was only after Caen got his control over his emotions that Brynhilde Wulf appeared before the lad. After inspecting the boy, she made it clear to everyone that he was not one of the shard bearers... but in his mind, Caen could hear her saying something different. He was a shard-bearer... and a rune slowly affixed itself above Caen's heart.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sand and Snow (2.3/2.4)===&lt;br /&gt;
It was the day when Caen was waiting to be deployed with a handful of other new Flame cadets to the Sagolii desert. The information broker, Lurial Vashir found Caen first and told him the truth. His family was still alive, and his older cousins had survived the moonfall five years ago. Shocked, the miqo'te boy grew quickly attached to both Lurial and Tiergan.&lt;br /&gt;
Caen's Flame deployment also ended quickly, as sand worms attacked the site of the training grounds. With the telepathic assistance from afar through the link, Caen was able to drag the soldier caravan and a few survivors back to Ul'dah. Caen was granted a scout position, which was limited to parcel and supply delivery, if only for the boy's speed and diligence.&lt;br /&gt;
The dark hood of the Entudenin reared its head and began to attack shard-bearers, Caen included. At one point, Caen was pushed off of the high walls of Coerthas by a dark agent of the Entudenin. The boy was paralyzed from the waist down and after three days, was found by Tiergan, who had to fight past two agents to rescue his cousin. Caen was taken to the Shroud for extensive healing and afterwards, found himself hiding from the shard-bearer headquarters, afraid of being attacked by another of the dark hoods.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Taken (2.55)===&lt;br /&gt;
As the moon cycled around the world over and over, Caen took up his old errand-tail ways by delivering letters for different people in Ul'dah, and occasionally the other nations of Eorzea. However, due to the sensitive information he unwittingly carried, he was made a target by the Syndicate agents after he was seen handing over letters addressed to the Sultana. On the night where the Eorzean Alliance were greeting the ambassadors from Ishgard, fighting began to break out in the city. Caen was chased by a few of the brass blades through the Gold Court, and nearly made it to the Royal Promenade, where he was knocked out by an ambush. Caen was imprisoned, and then sold into a slave ring with the rest of the prisoners that sat in the Ul'dahn cells. &lt;br /&gt;
==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;font-size:40px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Heavensward&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:CaenBard.jpg|left|CaenBard.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
=== These Eyes of Mine (3.1)===&lt;br /&gt;
It was soon discovered that Caen had been sold to an illegal gladiator ring where slaves were matched against each other for fictional lands and titles in a game played by the nobility of Ul'dah. The boy was forced to surrender his self-made vows to never take a life, as some fights in the ring were kill or be killed. His only possessions were a wicked pair of twin daggers that he was taught to use by another fellow slave named Yae. After numerous attempts to escape and push letters from windows, Lurial Vashir and a number of brave souls, including her brother Tiergan, were able to locate Caen and organized an assault on the ringleader's mansion. Only known as her moniker, &amp;quot;The Woman&amp;quot;, Caen's master threw all of her slaves and guards at the band of rescuers and even drugged Caen and set him upon his former friends. Caen was rendered unconscious during the fight and taken to the Forgotten Springs for healing and rest. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After waking up, Caen felt terrified to meet his cousins and friends again. He perceived his soul and eyes to be stained with the lives he was forced to take during his time as a gladiator. For the time being, he subtly struggles to continue wearing the mask of unbridled happiness just as he did before. The lad now carries a pain in his heart and wonders if he even deserves to live after betraying his promise to never stain his hands with blood. In spite of his inner turmoil, he made preparations to become an adventurer himself and sought employment in Ishgard, recently united with the Eorzean Alliance. Employed as a supply runner for Betelgeuse Bordeaux's Button Shoppe, Caen finds himself working early mornings; running across the realm to spread elaborate buttons to the rest of Eorzea's markets and weaver guilds. The lad spends alot of time in the Quicksand, stashing away his earned gil to fund an expedition to the mysteries of the northern lands where the lost boy hopes to find himself again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Menphina's Blessing (3.2)===&lt;br /&gt;
Shortly after Bordeaux's business really took off, Caen stepped away from the company to focus more on himself. He was plagued by nightmares of the blood he had been forced to spill on the gladiator ring and it seemed that the blood would never wash off. It was around this time, after returning to Ul'dah, he befriended a keeper of the moon named Kiht'a Zajhiri. He and Kiht'a both shared age and a similar pattern in their pasts. After a few meetings, the friendship developed into a young romance. Although Khit'a had expressed his desire to be open with their relationship, even Caen could not deny how fascinated he was with the keeper and spent as much time with Kiht'a as he could. The two did nearly everything together and shared a room in the Goblet for a time. Caen subconsciously felt at home and loved for the first time, feeling his hidden sadness and loneliness drift away. He developed confidence as a mate and wished to become a stronger person for Kiht'a, who was skilled as a hunter. The seeker took it upon himself to practice archery and set his blood-stained daggers aside. He departed for the Shroud for pets to bring back to his partner as a surprise, but could not have foreseen the adventure he would become tangled up in.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Ballad of the Scarlet Devil (3.3)===&lt;br /&gt;
Deep amidst the Shroud, Caen stalked creatures of the forest, tapping into his hunting instinct as a seeker miqo'te. After a few pelts had been gathered and meat taken, the miqo'te found himself upon a lone lalafel who was strumming a lyre in the most hauntingly beautiful fashion. The notes echoed in Caen's heart and soul and seemed to vibrate every branch in their vicinity. A mist descended around them, and from the small being's lyre, came aetherial light. Without warning, a band of men cloaked in red rushed towards the lalafel. Caen shouted for the lalafel, who stopped playing and readied a bow for battle while Caen fired shots from his own bow from the bushes. The men dead, the enigmatic lalafel introduced himself as Rojiko Tojiko, claiming he was sent from Dravania to stop a ritual that would summon a voidsent lord. He also claimed that his melody lulled disturbed souls back to sleep, for if all of them were to awaken, a terrible darkness would be wrought across the realm. The men in red traveled to several areas of the Shroud corrupting aether, causing discord with the Elementals, and upon chanting an ancient ballad, they hoped to summon Forenzikon the Purge, who would bathe the lands in an azure light, disrupting the Elemental balance forever. Caen did not hesitate to join Rojiko and the two set off to purify the Shroud. Caen explained how he had felt when Rojiko played his melody and the lalafel took notice of Caen's gift for song as they walked together. Before they slept, Rojiko showed the miqo'te how to play the lute, but commented on how Caen could never hope to play with such power without a soulstone. Even still, Caen was happy to learn Rojiko's many tools of the trade: Trick arrows, poison arrowheads, along with a few songs to play, should Caen ever obtain a lute of his own. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Between fending off the red-cloaked men, Rojiko putting disturbed spirits to rest with song, and campfire tales, Caen hardly noticed weeks go by. In was before the final spirit could be laid to rest that the two were ambushed by Coeurlclaw bandits. Outnumbered, Caen and Rojiko were captured and the lalafel was gravely wounded. They begged to be freed as to prevent the voidsent from being awoken and Rojiko, out of desperation, finally persuaded the leader of the band to be able to entertain them all with a song. With a strange magic, the small bard lulled them all to sleep. He and Caen escaped, making great haste to the final resting place. Caen made use of every trick he had been taught, covering Rojiko to his last arrow as the lalafel played his final song. The trees shook as the spirit of the voidsent vanished and upon strumming his last string, Rojiko dropped to his knees. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After dressing each others wounds and enjoying their victory, Rojiko asked Caen to travel back to Dravania with him. Caen agreed, still unbelieving that they had beaten back such a force. The journey was oddly peaceful and upon arriving to the Hinterlands, Rojiko bid Caen goodbye, simply saying where he was going, the miqo'te couldn't follow. He passed his lyre to the lad, making the seeker promise to remember the importance of song and how even something so simple as a melody could take back the night.&lt;br /&gt;

::* Caen will often be played with techno/dance/hip hop music in the background and his soundtrack depicts songs of this genre. Examples include artists like Imagine Dragons, Eiffel 65, and the soundtrack from the Persona series of games, just to name a few. This is a reference to Vysce's favorite music as a child.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen's desire to &amp;quot;protect everyone's smiles&amp;quot; is a reference to the Kamen Rider series, particularly Kamen Rider OOO.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen's patron deity Azeyma is close to the word Asthma, which Caen's player was temporarily sick with while creating Caen.&lt;br /&gt;
::* All of Caen's family have lighter-colored hair, with him and his father having the only dark hair amongst their relatives. This is an allusion to Caen's player's (Vysce) actual family where the entire family is composed of people with blond hair, save for Vysce, who was born blond yet later grew dark mahogany.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Sarisa and Lieru are from a love-story, rped by Caen's player in ''Guild Wars 2''. Lieru is also the first character he ever created.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen's yellow eyes are a tip of the hat to his player's time rping in ''Star Wars: The Old Republic'' where he wielded a yellow lightsaber.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen will often sing &amp;quot;Fish! Fish! Fish!&amp;quot; when offered a cooked fish. This is a reference to the champion Fizz from ''League of Legends.''&lt;br /&gt;
::* The lad's theme is the &amp;quot;Netsky&amp;quot; remix of the song ''Finale'' by Madeon. When dueling him, a faster version of the song will play. His other themes include ''I'm Alive'' by Becca, and ''New Divide'' by Linkin Park.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen is always 100% IC, even when out leveling. SO if you see him, don't hesitate to say hello!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;''&amp;quot;Believe in me, for my resolve does not waver, nor can it be fractured.&amp;quot; ~Vailyx the Swifttail''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Caen Jabari''' is a young miqo'te who was found washed ashore in Vesper Bay on the day of the Great Calamity. Caen remembered nothing of his first eleven years, and woke up to a world he did not remember living in. All he had on him, besides the tattered rags that covered his body, were water-logged letters addressed to &amp;quot;Caen&amp;quot; from an older brother &amp;quot;Vailyx&amp;quot; and held together by a pair of violet earrings. Thankfully, the kinder fisherman, Faust Jabari was able to find the young miqo'te and semi-raised the boy to be able to live on his own. After five years, not only has Eorzea changed, but so has the young seeker of the sun.&lt;br /&gt;

===Appearance===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;You may be Ul'dah's desert canary, but you bear the heart of the phoenix, Caen.  You can always reignite and fly again.&amp;quot;'' ~Tiergan Vashir&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caen sports a wide-eyed, youthful face with bronzed skin due to living under the desert sun for years. Although he's lived in Ul'dah in the summers he remembers, Caen sports a slight Lominsan accent due to being raised in the city beside the Rhotano. His eyes are a bright amber and his large canines tend to show when he grins with his teeth. The lad also sports a shaggy mane of royal blue hair that would attempt to curl inwards over his face, yet it is mostly kept covered by a light head-wrapping. On his left cheek, he bears a X-shaped scar. Caen is best well known by his choice of attire; his bright yellow-coloured garb, to show off his love for the sunlight. His favorite articles of clothing usually include loose sarouel and leather boots or crakows. He prefers loose, billowy shirts in lieu of proper button-downs and is prone to sleeve-less vests and sometimes revealing chest pieces.                                                                 &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
===Personality===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:CaenJabari.jpg|left|CaenJabari.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
Caen is wild and carefree making him a perfect candidate for odd jobs through-out Thanalan and Ul'dah herself. A friend to everyone, the boy is cheerful and will rarely hesitate to chat up a stranger. His favorite pastime is residing within ''The Quicksand'' to watch the comings and goings of adventurers, occasionally prodding them for tales of their adventures outside the desert. This inspired him to finally leave Ul'dah to experience adventures of his own. Prone to mischief and hardly watching where he steps, Caen often finds himself in troublesome situations and relies on his quick-thinking and unorthodox methods of survival. The miqo'te is always in high-spirits and is at his best around friends, to whom he is very loyal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;font-size:40px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Martial Arts&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
===Fighting Style===&lt;br /&gt;
::*Caen is naturally gifted with hand-to-hand combat, but is clumsy as a toddler when it comes to a sword. During his childhood in Limsa Lominsa, he was often made fun of for his Hyuran name, which led to many street brawls with the local bullies. He taught himself how to punch, kick, and dodge out of attacks when overwhelmed, becoming effective at fighting many targets at once.&lt;br /&gt;
::*When his brother Vailyx began to take up the art of the Lance, Caen naturally went out and carved his own pole-arm out of a fallen tree branch to teach himself to do that as well, desiring skills better than his perfect brother. Vailyx was never to busy to show Caen up and belittle the boy on his flawed techniques, yet managed to teach him proper form over the course of three years. By berating his younger brother on what not to do, he effectively taught him how to use the lance as an extension of his arm. And although Caen was never old enough to leave Limsa and study the lance abroad, Vailyx was secretly proud of Caen.&lt;br /&gt;
::*Caen continued to pave his way through the Thanalan with his fists after he had awoken from losing his memory. After saving his foster-father, Faust, from a yarzon swarm a month after awakening, he took Caen  to the Pugilist's Guild within Ul'dah, where the boy would hone his skills. While mostly his training pertained of running errands for the Holyfist, Hamon, Caen did occasionally teach himself a less-clumsy fighting style after watching the students spar.&lt;br /&gt;
::*Caen often speaks of how beautiful and interesting he believes swords to be, but he cannot properly wield one on his own. When he does, he finds the blade &amp;quot;rejecting&amp;quot; him. Still he finds them incredibly intriguing.&lt;br /&gt;
::*Recently, the yellow-clad miqo'te has shown an impressive form using twin daggers. His agility from his training under Hamon and acrobatic nature have benefitted him greatly in close-quarters combat.&lt;br /&gt;

===Aliases/Nicknames===&lt;br /&gt;
::* '''Canary''': After many attempts to get the lonely adventurer Sarisa Clementine to smile, Caen finally succeeded after singing a ballad to her one morning. She smiled for the first time in two years, since Carteneau, and called him her Canary. It has become a rare nickname for Caen, as few know of it, yet he will cherish it forever. It was also a name called to him by his mother, V'ira, when she taught him to sing as a child.&lt;br /&gt;
::* '''Chocobo''': Called this by his close friends, Caen is often compared to the yellow flightless bird of Eorzea, due to his bright yellow choice of clothing.&lt;br /&gt;
::* '''Blue Wolf''': Only the residents of Vesper Bay would call Caen by such. Once when he was skinny-dipping in the Bay, a group of bullies thought it would be funny to steal his clothes. Stark-naked, Caen stealthily tried to make it back to Faust's house to no avail, as the streets were rather crowded. He soon came across a pail of blue paint, and, seeing it as his only option, dumped it all over himself. He would then dart through the streets, on all fours, to Faust's home, terrifying the citizenry who lay sight to the &amp;quot;Blue Wolf Monster&amp;quot;. After Faust explained the truth to everyone to avoid panic, it became a running gag within the small town's residents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;  font-size:30px;  color:#FFFFFF&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Relationships&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
===Family===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Father: C'aseen the Poet, ''deceased''&lt;br /&gt;
::* Mother: V'ira Tarja, ''deceased''&lt;br /&gt;
::* Older Brother: Vailyx the Swifttail, ''missing in action''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Foster Father: Faust Jabari, A hyuran fisherman and resident of Vesper Bay. He was fishing off the coast of Crescent Cove when he noticed a small boy clinging to a large piece of driftwood in the sea. He became Caen's foster father, and attempted to teach Caen the ways of the world the boy had forgotten about.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Cousin: '''[[Tiergan Vashir]]''', One of Caen's only living blood-relatives. Since he learned that Caen is his long-lost cousin, Teigan is fiercely protective of the lad, trying to be the brother Vailyx would have been to Caen. Caen loves his cousin dearly, and often tries to act out to make the older miqo'te proud of him. Caen, unbeknownst to Tiergan, would often stalk his cousin in order to study him and adopt his mannerisms. Still, much of Tiergan's past is a mystery to Caen, as the boy is unsure whether it is inappropriate to ask. Even still, friends often mistake Tiergan and Caen for brothers, and the two would go along with it, as Caen feels that Tiergan is a great older brother, in Vailyx's absence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Cousin: '''[[Lurial Vashir]]''', One of Caen's only living blood-relatives. Luri was able to track down the youngest son of her aunt V'ira to the streets of Ul'dah. When she connected the dots, she came to Caen and revealed the truth to him. While Caen hides inner worry of being apart of a family again, he cannot help but feel at home again, in a place where he belongs. Until her recent disappearance, Caen had stayed in her home in the city of Ul'dah... now Caen searches for his cousin hoping to reunite them again as she once did for him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Bodyguard: '''[[Furious Storm]]''', The bodyguard of Lurial Vashir, Caen and &amp;quot;Fury&amp;quot; instantly became best friends when Caen decided to break the shyness between them by bringing the roegadyn a warm apple tart after his first night at Lurial's home. Now the two are basically inseparable, and Caen never forgets to bring the large mute treats from around Thanalan. While he did vanish around the same time as Lurial, he still sends him treats and candy via moogle post, as they can apparently track the roegadyn better than Caen could.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Friends===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caen has had the fortune of meeting all kinds of souls by hanging near ''The Quicksand'' after leaving Vesper Bay when Faust journeyed to Mor Dhona to find his wife, Maria. Some have touched his lives more than others and even after quitting his job serving patrons for Momodi, he still eats most of his meals there and hangs around for a good while after. Being the jewel of the sand, Ul'dah is frequented by many and Caen makes a good attempt to meet them all, offering strangers a friendly flap of his ears and a story exchange to boot.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
((friend's list coming soon T-T))&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Chocobos===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen has always had a great affinity for befriending chocobos. He often wished to become a chocobo porter or breeder when he was younger. Some will find he actually talks to them. In moments of stress, the lad will often wander near chocobos and pet/talk to them. Since the birds seem to enjoy his company, many nearby porters or breeders don't mind his presence. It's not entirely sure if Caen wears yellow to display his love for chocobos or for the sun, since he favors both. Yet when asked, he will mention that he might favor chocobos more because you can't hug the sun. He dreams of having a chocobo of his own someday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Enemies===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caen doesn't have any real enemies that he knows of. He has lived an honest life and cannot hold a grudge to save it. Even when disrespected or belittled by an individual, he is quick to forgive all after sleeping it off, and greets them the next day, cheerful as ever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;font-size:40px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Rumours&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:PeekingCaen.jpg|center|PeekingCaen.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
===Common Rumors===&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;That there is the boy who works at Momodi's place, wiv ol' Naih'ir... the one who's always on them rails. I dunno how'ee does it, but his smile sure brightens up a room!&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;What sort of fool wears such bright yellow? If I wore such on the frontlines, archers would have me dead in seconds. If you ask me, he's just asking for death.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;Such a cutie... but what sort of name is Caen for a miqo'te? Doesn't he respect his own kind?&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moderate Rumors===&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;Shhh, don't stare... that's the boy who was kidnapped. The one by that ruffian Cade... the poor dear must've been so frightened.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot; Hah! Y'know Momodi won't let him drink? Says he's too young fer such things... but I saw him get a good boxin' 'round the ears last time he was sniffin' 'round it! Haw Haw Haw!&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;That little shite ate all my fish! Orphans... hate their scum!&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Rare Rumors===&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot; I heard him sing once, yes. It was so beautiful... but so sad. You could almost feel as if there was some pain in his heart... his very soul.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot; Didn't y'know? 'ee can't remember a lick o' who he was b'fore the moon fell them years ago. Poor bloke. Must be lonely, havin' no-one to hold yeh.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;Calls himself the 'errand-tail' of the Sultana... he's the one Raubahn trusts with those letters. Sometimes I wonder what's in them, but it seems he doesn't know himself. Best not to dwell on such things.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;They were carrying the little lad in from the Shroud. You should have heard his breathing; I was so afraid for him. A monster? No... they say it was one of those Warriors. Are even our children unsafe?&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===PC Rumors===&lt;br /&gt;

::* ''&amp;quot;Caen?  That's my younger cousin - honest, brave, and constantly getting into trouble.  He's always working to try and become a 'hero' like the rest of us, but he doesn't seem to realise he's already a strong, courageous spirit.  His elder brother Vailyx would be proud of him...&amp;quot;'' -- [[Tiergan Vashir]]&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;If there should be one person in the entirety of Hydaelyn that I wholeheartedly trust, 'tis Caen.

He's, as one would describe, like a ray of sunshine, and dresses like it too. Can't say I've seen the lad for a few days now, though.'' &amp;lt;/font&amp;gt; -an anonymous note scrawled in charcoal&lt;br /&gt;

::* ''&amp;quot;You know, he seems really nice, And he likes chocolate! You can't go wrong with that.&amp;quot; -- [[Rihxo Matoi]]&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:CaenByEdge.jpg|right|CaenByEdge.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
===The Legacy of C'aseen the Poet===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen's father, known as C'aseen the Poet by his brothers in arms, was a monk in the ranks of the Fists of Rhalgr. At a young age, he abandoned his tribe along with his best friend F'une to study the ways of balance and the fist, and later came to unlock his hidden chakra. Although he claimed to be a pacifist, C'aseen yearned for unmatched power so that he could defend his way of life unopposed, whereas F'une was more aggressive, and fully embraced the way of The Destroyer. C'aseen would make a habit of sharing his small wealth with the less fortunate of Ala Mhigo, and aiding in small jobs among the lower class, behind F'une's back. He would thatch holes in roofs, gather game, and pull caravans himself. He was also known by his spouts of poetry that he would preach about the world and life. It was then, he met a woman named V'ira Tarja and fell madly in love with her. Traditions of his kind be damned, he would spend nights singing ballads to her... not knowing she was fighting feelings for him. Eventually they would come together and sire a white-haired boy who V'ira named Vailyx.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Vailyx, the Swifttail of Ala Mhigo===&lt;br /&gt;
Vailyx grew into a wild-cat like his mother, yet bore the confidence of his father. Fond of all manner of mischief, he grew up alongside his best friend and cousin Tiergan Vashir. Along with Tiergan's sister Lurial, the trio would cast bouts of chaos among the lower levels of Ala Mhigo. Dodoes would suddenly find their pens opened and run through the streets, food from merchant stalls would go missing, and there was even one incident when the three road atop a chocobo taken back from a corrupt tax collector for their neighbor, who was struggling to make ends meet. Vailyx was always there to save his friends from peril, coming out with a bloody nose and a few other bruises; his trade-mark fanged smirk not wavering. He named himself the ''Swifttail'' of Ala Mhigo, claiming it was a title bestowed by the Twelve for his cunning and speed, but in truth, he merely thought it sounded cool and intimidating. At one point, he even dyed his long, white hair into a bright red colour, so that he would look like a fiery comet as he rushed through the streets and rooftops. Their childhood was happy... but it was not to last.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Escape from Ala Mhigo===&lt;br /&gt;
Vailyx was eight years old when the Empire lay waste to Ala Mhigo in their campaign to take over Eorzea. F'une attempted to sneak C'aseen and his family onto a refugee caravan, fleeing the city amongst the chaos. This act cost F'une his life, but ensured his comrade's safety. V'ira's family lost or missing, C'aseen thought it would be best to take his family far from Ala Mhigo and start over, eventually booking them a passage to Limsa Lominsa, the entire journey from Ala Mhigo to Limsa taking two years. It would be there that V'ira bore another child, a small blue-haired boy with amber eyes named Caen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Caen, The Amber Dawn===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen's childhood in Limsa Lominsa was a rather happy one. C'aseen sought to join the ranks of the Maelstrom, the Grand Company of Limsa, and Vailyx sought to become a warrior like his father. This left Caen alone most of the time, when he was able to wander off without V'ira. Caen was the representation of a new and happy life for the four, and a hope for the future. As Caen grew older, he adopted a mixture of his family traits. While his mischief wasn't as grand as Vailyx's schemes back in Ala Mhigo, they often led to street brawls with the local bullies who beat Caen, as he was a miqo'te with the hyuran name. During the brawls, many of the &amp;quot;bullies&amp;quot; came to like the boy, as the miqo'te never fought as if he was fighting for his life and instead fighting for the fun of it. It became clear that it was difficult to become enemies with the boy, and most of his hyran adversaries turned into good friends or friendly rivals. When he wasn't tussling in the lower decks, Caen would climb to the higher towers of Limsa, looking out at the sea to watch his father fish, and see ships come in to port. He came to know almost everyone, as he was quite nosey, and always was willing to lend a helping hand to a downtrodden stranger. V'ira would teach the young kitten to sing, to aid him in his quest to make all strangers happy, but not without warning the boy of the dangers of the world.&lt;br /&gt;
By the time Caen grew to his ninth year, he was already a thorn in his older brother's side. Constantly trying to show Vailyx up was a favorite pastime of his, while Vailyx had grown cold by comparison, still mourning the deaths of his two best friends Tiergan and Lurial. He was well on his way to becoming worthy enough to study in the ways of a Dragoon, which Caen would lovingly attempt to mimic. By Caen's tenth year, Vailyx has sought to forgive himself for not being able to save Tiergan and Lurial, seeing much of his younger self in Caen, who would bring light and joy to his terrible sorrow and cast it aside. For the first time, Caen was able to break through his older brother's cold exterior, and the brothers would bond happily for the next year. Another year passed... and with it, the Grand Companies of Eorzea prepared to meet Nael Van Darnus's VIIth Legion on the fields of Carteneau.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Cruelty of Fate===&lt;br /&gt;
C'aseen and Vailyx had made up their minds to fight alongside the Maelstrom forces at Carteneau. Yet, as Dalamud had lowered closer to Eorzea, Vailyx feared that the battle would not be won, and urged V'ira to take Caen on a ship and flee the continent. Caen took this terribly, and took up his practice lance, trying to fight Vailyx to let him go with them. Vailyx, out of options, slashed the practice lance in half and cut his brother across the cheek in an attempt to make his brother hate him, so that he wouldn't want to join them at Carteneau. Caen, now sporting a nasty cross-shaped wound, flung himself at his brother, understanding his fears and embracing him one last time. Vailyx would hand his mother letters to Caen, and, embracing them one last time, rushed off to join C'aseen at the battle. Caen and V'ira were able to get passage to a ship heading for another continent with other refugees, yet as Dalamud drew ever closer, the captain of their ship, Kruz Rosgaldornyn, revealed his ugly plot to turn the ship towards Ul'dah, and sell everyone aboard as slaves into the Ul'dahn underground black market. Kruz would attempt to seize V'ira and have his way with the miqo'te woman before they arrived, but Caen begged and pleaded him to release her, offering his own life in exchange. A twisted being, Kruz agreed, and took the young lad to his quarters, where he tortured the boy for making him look weak in front of his crew. As the beating grew worse, Caen could not take it anymore and bit the man's ear off. Enraged, Kruz tied the boy down and prepared to cut Caen's tail off. Before the blow was struck, V'ira burst down the door, stunning Kruz with a glass bottle to the face and released Caen. As they rushed to a lifeboat, the waves grew restless and aggressive, and the skies turned violent. Flares rained down from the sky, flinging themselves into the deep ocean. Amidst the chaos, V'ira removed her violet earrings and wrapped them around Vailyx's letters, tucking them into Caen's jacket. She embraced her son for the last time, and the ship was hit by one of Bahamut's flares. Caen was thrust into the air along with debris from the ship, the bodies of refugees, and V'ira. He reached for her, in an attempt to fly towards her again, and screamed her name, just as she was engulfed by flames. Caen hit the water with a terrible force... and fell into the abyss of his mind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Awakening to Null===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen awoke to a warm bed, in the small home of Faust Jabari, a fisherman in Vesper Bay. He had been asleep for nearly a week. When Faust asked the boy his name, the boy could not recall. In fact he knew not who he was, nor where he was... nor why Faust had no tail when the lad had one. Faust attempted to look through the letters Caen had washed ashore with, yet they were almost too water-logged to read. All he could make out is they were addressed to &amp;quot;Caen&amp;quot;... from someone named Vailyx. Taking a shot in the dark, Faust would return Caen's name to him, and gift the lost miqo'te with that of his own surname, &amp;quot;Jabari&amp;quot; until his memories returned. Caen was timid and shy around the other kids in Vesper, while many of them were around their eleventh year, as he was, he felt terrified to be around people. His days were spent trying to piece together who he was, and his nightmares were plagued by a vision of his chasing a red-haired knight with a lance into a blinding horizon, yet he could never catch them. It wasn't until Faust took Caen along with him to trade his wares at Ul'dah, did remnants of himself return.&lt;br /&gt;
Faust briefly left Caen with Momodi of ''The Quicksand'' while he went to trade his wares at market. It was then that Caen witnessed the sorrow of a beautiful lady named Sarisa Clementine. A band of adventurers, her comrades tried anything they could to get her to find hope that her lover had survived the Battle Of Carteneau, but she would turn them away. Caen was overcome with a need to make her smile, and approached her, initiating conversation. Sarisa was so shocked that a mysterious boy would just walk up and chat with her, that she obliged. The two would meet at ''The Quicksand'' and talk often, about Caen's missing memories, and of Sarisa and her love for her fiancee, Lieru. And one day, Caen sang to her... a ballad conjured from the depths of his mind... and for the first time in a long time, she smiled. It was then that Caen decided, it was smiles like hers he wanted to one day protect. And he would be the light in the darkness for those who had lost their own. He dreamt of a world without sorrow, without war or bloodshed, and became determined to become strong enough to herald the arrival of such a world.&lt;br /&gt;
==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;font-size:40px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;After Meteor&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:RainyCaen.jpg|left|RainyCaen.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
===Five Years Later... (2.0)===&lt;br /&gt;
After convincing Faust to journey to Mor Dhona and find his wife Maria, Caen had sang in the streets of Ul'dah for gil, while also finding an opportunity to become a messenger bearing secret letters for groups that would not like to see them taken from moogles. It was Naih'ir Molkot and Momodi of ''The Quicksand'' that would offer Caen a real job, washing dishes and serving the patrons of the inn. During this time, Caen would also find habit of &amp;quot;perching&amp;quot; atop the rails of the room, conversing with strangers and getting them to detail their adventures outside the desert, having no memory of the world beyond. Caen still yearns for a place to call home once again, and prays that the Twelve might offer a hint as to why his memory was taken from him. Still, he wields a confident smirk and a bright yellow attire, in a hope to be a light for everyone and make them smile...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Brave New Realm (2.1)===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen could say his life changed when he met a group of adventurers in the Quicksand. The first man was a Dragoon named Artorias Mason. At first the Huyr was a marvel to behold, capable of endless feats and even more knowledge. He had had everything... and lost it all to the Empire. He was an inspiration... yet darkness existed in the mans heart having lost all he held dear. He denied the Gods existence and placed Caen's undying faith to the Twelve among the ranks of the pathetic; an event that shook the boy to his core and giving him doubt for the first time.  During a trip out to Crescent Cove, Caen and Artorias run in with Garrett Slater, a free-paladin in training. Caen shows them both a crashed Garlean vessel, rusted and long-dead, when they are attacked by a giant yarzon. After defeating the vilekin, Garrett and Artorias meet in private when Caen is suddenly caught in a Garlean ambush. In a narrow victory, the group is able to flee towards Ul'dah to return Caen to the Quicksand. The following day, Caen was approached by a woman named Kelvena, who searches for her father Ikus and his mercenary company Lost Rogues. When she finds out that Caen has never been outside Ul'dah, she, Artorias, and Garrett decide to take the boy to Limsa Lominsa. There, it is revealed that Artorias plans to kill himself after fighting the primals and defeating Gaius von Baelsar. Although Caen pleads with him, Artorias' mind is made up and he eventually leaves. It is then that Kelvena and Garrett take Caen to Gridania... where Caen visits the Lancer's Guild and finds the Last Letter of the Swifttail. These last written words of his older brother, Vailyx ensure that Caen really is Caen, and that he should continue to live his own life as his father and mother had wanted. Still wishing he could remember his family, Caen tries to find solace among his new friends. Artorias senses the boy's strife and bids Kelvena look after Caen like an older sister.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Shards of the Forsaken (2.2)===&lt;br /&gt;
One night, Caen began hearing voices in his head, including images and emotions felt by people he didn't know. This led him to run off into the Gold Court unable to control his own pain. Garrett, Kelvena, and Artorias would try to help Caen... only to be approached by two enigmatic miqo'te. Tiergan Vashir and An'nai came to find Caen, but after Artorias threatened Tiergan, the miqo'te let slip that Caen may, in fact have a shard within him, allowing him to tap into latent power and talk with others over long distances. It was only after Caen got his control over his emotions that Brynhilde Wulf appeared before the lad. After inspecting the boy, she made it clear to everyone that he was not one of the shard bearers... but in his mind, Caen could hear her saying something different. He was a shard-bearer... and a rune slowly affixed itself above Caen's heart.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sand and Snow (2.3/2.4)===&lt;br /&gt;
It was the day when Caen was waiting to be deployed with a handful of other new Flame cadets to the Sagolii desert. The information broker, Lurial Vashir found Caen first and told him the truth. His family was still alive, and his older cousins had survived the moonfall five years ago. Shocked, the miqo'te boy grew quickly attached to both Lurial and Tiergan.&lt;br /&gt;
Caen's Flame deployment also ended quickly, as sand worms attacked the site of the training grounds. With the telepathic assistance from afar through the link, Caen was able to drag the soldier caravan and a few survivors back to Ul'dah. Caen was granted a scout position, which was limited to parcel and supply delivery, if only for the boy's speed and diligence.&lt;br /&gt;
The dark hood of the Entudenin reared its head and began to attack shard-bearers, Caen included. At one point, Caen was pushed off of the high walls of Coerthas by a dark agent of the Entudenin. The boy was paralyzed from the waist down and after three days, was found by Tiergan, who had to fight past two agents to rescue his cousin. Caen was taken to the Shroud for extensive healing and afterwards, found himself hiding from the shard-bearer headquarters, afraid of being attacked by another of the dark hoods.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Taken (2.55)===&lt;br /&gt;
As the moon cycled around the world over and over, Caen took up his old errand-tail ways by delivering letters for different people in Ul'dah, and occasionally the other nations of Eorzea. However, due to the sensitive information he unwittingly carried, he was made a target by the Syndicate agents after he was seen handing over letters addressed to the Sultana. On the night where the Eorzean Alliance were greeting the ambassadors from Ishgard, fighting began to break out in the city. Caen was chased by a few of the brass blades through the Gold Court, and nearly made it to the Royal Promenade, where he was knocked out by an ambush. Caen was imprisoned, and then sold into a slave ring with the rest of the prisoners that sat in the Ul'dahn cells. &lt;br /&gt;
==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;font-size:40px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Heavensward&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:CaenBard.jpg|left|CaenBard.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
=== These Eyes of Mine (3.1)===&lt;br /&gt;
It was soon discovered that Caen had been sold to an illegal gladiator ring where slaves were matched against each other for fictional lands and titles in a game played by the nobility of Ul'dah. The boy was forced to surrender his self-made vows to never take a life, as some fights in the ring were kill or be killed. His only possessions were a wicked pair of twin daggers that he was taught to use by another fellow slave named Yae. After numerous attempts to escape and push letters from windows, Lurial Vashir and a number of brave souls, including her brother Tiergan, were able to locate Caen and organized an assault on the ringleader's mansion. Only known as her moniker, &amp;quot;The Woman&amp;quot;, Caen's master threw all of her slaves and guards at the band of rescuers and even drugged Caen and set him upon his former friends. Caen was rendered unconscious during the fight and taken to the Forgotten Springs for healing and rest. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After waking up, Caen felt terrified to meet his cousins and friends again. He perceived his soul and eyes to be stained with the lives he was forced to take during his time as a gladiator. For the time being, he subtly struggles to continue wearing the mask of unbridled happiness just as he did before. The lad now carries a pain in his heart and wonders if he even deserves to live after betraying his promise to never stain his hands with blood. In spite of his inner turmoil, he made preparations to become an adventurer himself and sought employment in Ishgard, recently united with the Eorzean Alliance. Employed as a supply runner for Betelgeuse Bordeaux's Button Shoppe, Caen finds himself working early mornings; running across the realm to spread elaborate buttons to the rest of Eorzea's markets and weaver guilds. The lad spends alot of time in the Quicksand, stashing away his earned gil to fund an expedition to the mysteries of the northern lands where the lost boy hopes to find himself again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Menphina's Blessing (3.2)===&lt;br /&gt;
Shortly after Bordeaux's business really took off, Caen stepped away from the company to focus more on himself. He was plagued by nightmares of the blood he had been forced to spill on the gladiator ring and it seemed that the blood would never wash off. It was around this time, after returning to Ul'dah, he befriended a keeper of the moon named Kiht'a Zajhiri. He and Kiht'a both shared age and a similar pattern in their pasts. After a few meetings, the friendship developed into a young romance. Although Khit'a had expressed his desire to be open with their relationship, even Caen could not deny how fascinated he was with the keeper and spent as much time with Kiht'a as he could. The two did nearly everything together and shared a room in the Goblet for a time. Caen subconsciously felt at home and loved for the first time, feeling his hidden sadness and loneliness drift away. He developed confidence as a mate and wished to become a stronger person for Kiht'a, who was skilled as a hunter. The seeker took it upon himself to practice archery and set his blood-stained daggers aside. He departed for the Shroud for pets to bring back to his partner as a surprise, but could not have foreseen the adventure he would become tangled up in.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Ballad of the Scarlet Devil (3.3)===&lt;br /&gt;
Deep amidst the Shroud, Caen stalked creatures of the forest, tapping into his hunting instinct as a seeker miqo'te. After a few pelts had been gathered and meat taken, the miqo'te found himself upon a lone lalafel who was strumming a lyre in the most hauntingly beautiful fashion. The notes echoed in Caen's heart and soul and seemed to vibrate every branch in their vicinity. A mist descended around them, and from the small being's lyre, came aetherial light. Without warning, a band of men cloaked in red rushed towards the lalafel. Caen shouted for the lalafel, who stopped playing and readied a bow for battle while Caen fired shots from his own bow from the bushes. The men dead, the enigmatic lalafel introduced himself as Rojiko Tojiko, claiming he was sent from Dravania to stop a ritual that would summon a voidsent lord. He also claimed that his melody lulled disturbed souls back to sleep, for if all of them were to awaken, a terrible darkness would be wrought across the realm. The men in red traveled to several areas of the Shroud corrupting aether, causing discord with the Elementals, and upon chanting an ancient ballad, they hoped to summon Forenzikon the Purge, who would bathe the lands in an azure light, disrupting the Elemental balance forever. Caen did not hesitate to join Rojiko and the two set off to purify the Shroud. Caen explained how he had felt when Rojiko played his melody and the lalafel took notice of Caen's gift for song as they walked together. Before they slept, Rojiko showed the miqo'te how to play the lute, but commented on how Caen could never hope to play with such power without a soulstone. Even still, Caen was happy to learn Rojiko's many tools of the trade: Trick arrows, poison arrowheads, along with a few songs to play, should Caen ever obtain a lute of his own. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Between fending off the red-cloaked men, Rojiko putting disturbed spirits to rest with song, and campfire tales, Caen hardly noticed weeks go by. In was before the final spirit could be laid to rest that the two were ambushed by Coeurlclaw bandits. Outnumbered, Caen and Rojiko were captured and the lalafel was gravely wounded. They begged to be freed as to prevent the voidsent from being awoken and Rojiko, out of desperation, finally persuaded the leader of the band to be able to entertain them all with a song. With a strange magic, the small bard lulled them all to sleep. He and Caen escaped, making great haste to the final resting place. Caen made use of every trick he had been taught, covering Rojiko to his last arrow as the lalafel played his final song. The trees shook as the spirit of the voidsent vanished and upon strumming his last string, Rojiko dropped to his knees. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After dressing each others wounds and enjoying their victroy, Rojiko asked Caen to travel back to Dravania with him. Caen agreed, still unbelieving that they had beaten back such a force. The journey was oddly peaceful and upon arriving to the Hinterlands, Rojiko bid Caen goodbye, simply saying where he was going, the miqo'te couldn't follow. He passed his lyre to the lad, making the seeker promise to remember the importance of song and how even something so simple as a melody could take back the night.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;''&amp;quot;Believe in me, for my resolve does not waver, nor can it be fractured.&amp;quot; ~Vailyx the Swifttail''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Caen Jabari''' is a young miqo'te who was found washed ashore in Vesper Bay on the day of the Great Calamity. Caen remembered nothing of his first eleven years, and woke up to a world he did not remember living in. All he had on him, besides the tattered rags that covered his body, were water-logged letters addressed to &amp;quot;Caen&amp;quot; from an older brother &amp;quot;Vailyx&amp;quot; and held together by a pair of violet earrings. Thankfully, the kinder fisherman, Faust Jabari was able to find the young miqo'te and semi-raised the boy to be able to live on his own. After five years, not only has Eorzea changed, but so has the young seeker of the sun.&lt;br /&gt;

===Appearance===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;You may be Ul'dah's desert canary, but you bear the heart of the phoenix, Caen.  You can always reignite and fly again.&amp;quot;'' ~Tiergan Vashir&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caen sports a wide-eyed, youthful face with bronzed skin due to living under the desert sun for years. Although he's lived in Ul'dah in the summers he remembers, Caen sports a slight Lominsan accent due to being raised in the city beside the Rhotano. His eyes are a bright amber and his large canines tend to show when he grins with his teeth. The lad also sports a shaggy mane of royal blue hair that would attempt to curl inwards over his face, yet it is mostly kept covered by a light head-wrapping. On his left cheek, he bears a X-shaped scar. Caen is best well known by his choice of attire; his bright yellow-coloured garb, to show off his love for the sunlight. His favorite articles of clothing usually include loose sarouel and leather boots or crakows. He prefers loose, billowy shirts in lieu of proper button-downs and is prone to sleeve-less vests and sometimes revealing chest pieces.                                                                 &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
===Personality===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:CaenJabari.jpg|left|CaenJabari.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
Caen is wild and carefree making him a perfect candidate for odd jobs through-out Thanalan and Ul'dah herself. A friend to everyone, the boy is cheerful and will rarely hesitate to chat up a stranger. His favorite pastime is residing within ''The Quicksand'' to watch the comings and goings of adventurers, occasionally prodding them for tales of their adventures outside the desert. This inspired him to finally leave Ul'dah to experience adventures of his own. Prone to mischief and hardly watching where he steps, Caen often finds himself in troublesome situations and relies on his quick-thinking and unorthodox methods of survival. The miqo'te is always in high-spirits and is at his best around friends, to whom he is very loyal.&lt;br /&gt;

===Fighting Style===&lt;br /&gt;
::*Caen is naturally gifted with hand-to-hand combat, but is clumsy as a toddler when it comes to a sword. During his childhood in Limsa Lominsa, he was often made fun of for his Hyuran name, which led to many street brawls with the local bullies. He taught himself how to punch, kick, and dodge out of attacks when overwhelmed, becoming effective at fighting many targets at once.&lt;br /&gt;
::*When his brother Vailyx began to take up the art of the Lance, Caen naturally went out and carved his own pole-arm out of a fallen tree branch to teach himself to do that as well, desiring skills better than his perfect brother. Vailyx was never to busy to show Caen up and belittle the boy on his flawed techniques, yet managed to teach him proper form over the course of three years. By berating his younger brother on what not to do, he effectively taught him how to use the lance as an extension of his arm. And although Caen was never old enough to leave Limsa and study the lance abroad, Vailyx was secretly proud of Caen.&lt;br /&gt;
::*Caen continued to pave his way through the Thanalan with his fists after he had awoken from losing his memory. After saving his foster-father, Faust, from a yarzon swarm a month after awakening, he took Caen  to the Pugilist's Guild within Ul'dah, where the boy would hone his skills. While mostly his training pertained of running errands for the Holyfist, Hamon, Caen did occasionally teach himself a less-clumsy fighting style after watching the students spar.&lt;br /&gt;
::*Caen often speaks of how beautiful and interesting he believes swords to be, but he cannot properly wield one on his own. When he does, he finds the blade &amp;quot;rejecting&amp;quot; him. Still he finds them incredibly intriguing.&lt;br /&gt;
::*Recently, the yellow-clad miqo'te has shown an impressive form using twin daggers. His agility from his training under Hamon and acrobatic nature have benefitted him greatly in close-quarters combat.&lt;br /&gt;

===Aliases/Nicknames===&lt;br /&gt;
::* '''Canary''': After many attempts to get the lonely adventurer Sarisa Clementine to smile, Caen finally succeeded after singing a ballad to her one morning. She smiled for the first time in two years, since Carteneau, and called him her Canary. It has become a rare nickname for Caen, as few know of it, yet he will cherish it forever. It was also a name called to him by his mother, V'ira, when she taught him to sing as a child.&lt;br /&gt;
::* '''Chocobo''': Called this by his close friends, Caen is often compared to the yellow flightless bird of Eorzea, due to his bright yellow choice of clothing.&lt;br /&gt;
::* '''Blue Wolf''': Only the residents of Vesper Bay would call Caen by such. Once when he was skinny-dipping in the Bay, a group of bullies thought it would be funny to steal his clothes. Stark-naked, Caen stealthily tried to make it back to Faust's house to no avail, as the streets were rather crowded. He soon came across a pail of blue paint, and, seeing it as his only option, dumped it all over himself. He would then dart through the streets, on all fours, to Faust's home, terrifying the citizenry who lay sight to the &amp;quot;Blue Wolf Monster&amp;quot;. After Faust explained the truth to everyone to avoid panic, it became a running gag within the small town's residents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;  font-size:30px;  color:#FFFFFF&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Relationships&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
===Family===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Father: C'aseen the Poet, ''deceased''&lt;br /&gt;
::* Mother: V'ira Tarja, ''deceased''&lt;br /&gt;
::* Older Brother: Vailyx the Swifttail, ''missing in action''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Foster Father: Faust Jabari, A hyuran fisherman and resident of Vesper Bay. He was fishing off the coast of Crescent Cove when he noticed a small boy clinging to a large piece of driftwood in the sea. He became Caen's foster father, and attempted to teach Caen the ways of the world the boy had forgotten about.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Cousin: '''[[Tiergan Vashir]]''', One of Caen's only living blood-relatives. Since he learned that Caen is his long-lost cousin, Teigan is fiercely protective of the lad, trying to be the brother Vailyx would have been to Caen. Caen loves his cousin dearly, and often tries to act out to make the older miqo'te proud of him. Caen, unbeknownst to Tiergan, would often stalk his cousin in order to study him and adopt his mannerisms. Still, much of Tiergan's past is a mystery to Caen, as the boy is unsure whether it is inappropriate to ask. Even still, friends often mistake Tiergan and Caen for brothers, and the two would go along with it, as Caen feels that Tiergan is a great older brother, in Vailyx's absence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Cousin: '''[[Lurial Vashir]]''', One of Caen's only living blood-relatives. Luri was able to track down the youngest son of her aunt V'ira to the streets of Ul'dah. When she connected the dots, she came to Caen and revealed the truth to him. While Caen hides inner worry of being apart of a family again, he cannot help but feel at home again, in a place where he belongs. Until her recent disappearance, Caen had stayed in her home in the city of Ul'dah... now Caen searches for his cousin hoping to reunite them again as she once did for him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Bodyguard: '''[[Furious Storm]]''', The bodyguard of Lurial Vashir, Caen and &amp;quot;Fury&amp;quot; instantly became best friends when Caen decided to break the shyness between them by bringing the roegadyn a warm apple tart after his first night at Lurial's home. Now the two are basically inseparable, and Caen never forgets to bring the large mute treats from around Thanalan. While he did vanish around the same time as Lurial, he still sends him treats and candy via moogle post, as they can apparently track the roegadyn better than Caen could.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Friends===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caen has had the fortune of meeting all kinds of souls by hanging near ''The Quicksand'' after leaving Vesper Bay when Faust journeyed to Mor Dhona to find his wife, Maria. Some have touched his lives more than others and even after quitting his job serving patrons for Momodi, he still eats most of his meals there and hangs around for a good while after. Being the jewel of the sand, Ul'dah is frequented by many and Caen makes a good attempt to meet them all, offering strangers a friendly flap of his ears and a story exchange to boot.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
((friend's list coming soon T-T))&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Chocobos===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen has always had a great affinity for befriending chocobos. He often wished to become a chocobo porter or breeder when he was younger. Some will find he actually talks to them. In moments of stress, the lad will often wander near chocobos and pet/talk to them. Since the birds seem to enjoy his company, many nearby porters or breeders don't mind his presence. It's not entirely sure if Caen wears yellow to display his love for chocobos or for the sun, since he favors both. Yet when asked, he will mention that he might favor chocobos more because you can't hug the sun. He dreams of having a chocobo of his own someday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Enemies===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caen doesn't have any real enemies that he knows of. He has lived an honest life and cannot hold a grudge to save it. Even when disrespected or belittled by an individual, he is quick to forgive all after sleeping it off, and greets them the next day, cheerful as ever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:PeekingCaen.jpg|center|PeekingCaen.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
===Common Rumors===&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;That there is the boy who works at Momodi's place, wiv ol' Naih'ir... the one who's always on them rails. I dunno how'ee does it, but his smile sure brightens up a room!&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;What sort of fool wears such bright yellow? If I wore such on the frontlines, archers would have me dead in seconds. If you ask me, he's just asking for death.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;Such a cutie... but what sort of name is Caen for a miqo'te? Doesn't he respect his own kind?&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moderate Rumors===&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;Shhh, don't stare... that's the boy who was kidnapped. The one by that ruffian Cade... the poor dear must've been so frightened.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot; Hah! Y'know Momodi won't let him drink? Says he's too young fer such things... but I saw him get a good boxin' 'round the ears last time he was sniffin' 'round it! Haw Haw Haw!&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;That little shite ate all my fish! Orphans... hate their scum!&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Rare Rumors===&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot; I heard him sing once, yes. It was so beautiful... but so sad. You could almost feel as if there was some pain in his heart... his very soul.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot; Didn't y'know? 'ee can't remember a lick o' who he was b'fore the moon fell them years ago. Poor bloke. Must be lonely, havin' no-one to hold yeh.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;Calls himself the 'errand-tail' of the Sultana... he's the one Raubahn trusts with those letters. Sometimes I wonder what's in them, but it seems he doesn't know himself. Best not to dwell on such things.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;They were carrying the little lad in from the Shroud. You should have heard his breathing; I was so afraid for him. A monster? No... they say it was one of those Warriors. Are even our children unsafe?&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===PC Rumors===&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;You know he's a kind little guy, he'll just brush it off until he really gets hurt. I'm gonna find Art asleep someplace and stab him between the ribs. See how he likes it.&amp;quot;'' -- [[Augustine Frost]]&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;Caen?  That's my younger cousin - honest, brave, and constantly getting into trouble.  He's always working to try and become a 'hero' like the rest of us, but he doesn't seem to realise he's already a strong, courageous spirit.  His elder brother Vailyx would be proud of him...&amp;quot;'' -- [[Tiergan Vashir]]&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;If there should be one person in the entirety of Hydaelyn that I wholeheartedly trust, 'tis Caen. For being as young as he is, he has never failed to make me smile and make me see the best in things. If there is someone I am willing to die for, Caen would be the one.&amp;quot;'' -- [[Garrett Slater]]&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;Caen has amesa. Had. There is pain memory. He run away into badlands but live. Sad happened but he is...very fun be with. Do not know if....healed or is...hide his hurts.&amp;quot;'' -- [[Flickering Ember]]&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;He is like Azeyma's Kiss; a ray of sunshine breaking through the dark boughs of the Shroud.&amp;quot;'' -- [[Jancis Milburga]]&lt;br /&gt;
::*&amp;lt;font style=&amp;quot;font-family:lucida handwriting&amp;quot;&amp;gt;''That sounds a lot like someone else I've met here recently. He's, as one would describe, like a ray of sunshine, and dresses like it too. Can't say I've seen the lad for a few days now, though.'' &amp;lt;/font&amp;gt; -an anonymous note scrawled in charcoal&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;He's a little simple in manner, naive, I would say, but has a sunny disposition.&amp;quot;'' -- [[Gil vel'Jendahr]]&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;You know, he seems really nice, And he likes chocolate! You can't go wrong with that.&amp;quot; -- [[Rihxo Matoi]]&lt;br /&gt;

==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;font-size:40px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;The Story&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:CaenByEdge.jpg|right|CaenByEdge.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
===The Legacy of C'aseen the Poet===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen's father, known as C'aseen the Poet by his brothers in arms, was a monk in the ranks of the Fists of Rhalgr. At a young age, he abandoned his tribe along with his best friend F'une to study the ways of balance and the fist, and later came to unlock his hidden chakra. Although he claimed to be a pacifist, C'aseen yearned for unmatched power so that he could defend his way of life unopposed, whereas F'une was more aggressive, and fully embraced the way of The Destroyer. C'aseen would make a habit of sharing his small wealth with the less fortunate of Ala Mhigo, and aiding in small jobs among the lower class, behind F'une's back. He would thatch holes in roofs, gather game, and pull caravans himself. He was also known by his spouts of poetry that he would preach about the world and life. It was then, he met a woman named V'ira Tarja and fell madly in love with her. Traditions of his kind be damned, he would spend nights singing ballads to her... not knowing she was fighting feelings for him. Eventually they would come together and sire a white-haired boy who V'ira named Vailyx.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Vailyx, the Swifttail of Ala Mhigo===&lt;br /&gt;
Vailyx grew into a wild-cat like his mother, yet bore the confidence of his father. Fond of all manner of mischief, he grew up alongside his best friend and cousin Tiergan Vashir. Along with Tiergan's sister Lurial, the trio would cast bouts of chaos among the lower levels of Ala Mhigo. Dodoes would suddenly find their pens opened and run through the streets, food from merchant stalls would go missing, and there was even one incident when the three road atop a chocobo taken back from a corrupt tax collector for their neighbor, who was struggling to make ends meet. Vailyx was always there to save his friends from peril, coming out with a bloody nose and a few other bruises; his trade-mark fanged smirk not wavering. He named himself the ''Swifttail'' of Ala Mhigo, claiming it was a title bestowed by the Twelve for his cunning and speed, but in truth, he merely thought it sounded cool and intimidating. At one point, he even dyed his long, white hair into a bright red colour, so that he would look like a fiery comet as he rushed through the streets and rooftops. Their childhood was happy... but it was not to last.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Escape from Ala Mhigo===&lt;br /&gt;
Vailyx was eight years old when the Empire lay waste to Ala Mhigo in their campaign to take over Eorzea. F'une attempted to sneak C'aseen and his family onto a refugee caravan, fleeing the city amongst the chaos. This act cost F'une his life, but ensured his comrade's safety. V'ira's family lost or missing, C'aseen thought it would be best to take his family far from Ala Mhigo and start over, eventually booking them a passage to Limsa Lominsa, the entire journey from Ala Mhigo to Limsa taking two years. It would be there that V'ira bore another child, a small blue-haired boy with amber eyes named Caen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Caen, The Amber Dawn===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen's childhood in Limsa Lominsa was a rather happy one. C'aseen sought to join the ranks of the Maelstrom, the Grand Company of Limsa, and Vailyx sought to become a warrior like his father. This left Caen alone most of the time, when he was able to wander off without V'ira. Caen was the representation of a new and happy life for the four, and a hope for the future. As Caen grew older, he adopted a mixture of his family traits. While his mischief wasn't as grand as Vailyx's schemes back in Ala Mhigo, they often led to street brawls with the local bullies who beat Caen, as he was a miqo'te with the hyuran name. During the brawls, many of the &amp;quot;bullies&amp;quot; came to like the boy, as the miqo'te never fought as if he was fighting for his life and instead fighting for the fun of it. It became clear that it was difficult to become enemies with the boy, and most of his hyran adversaries turned into good friends or friendly rivals. When he wasn't tussling in the lower decks, Caen would climb to the higher towers of Limsa, looking out at the sea to watch his father fish, and see ships come in to port. He came to know almost everyone, as he was quite nosey, and always was willing to lend a helping hand to a downtrodden stranger. V'ira would teach the young kitten to sing, to aid him in his quest to make all strangers happy, but not without warning the boy of the dangers of the world.&lt;br /&gt;
By the time Caen grew to his ninth year, he was already a thorn in his older brother's side. Constantly trying to show Vailyx up was a favorite pastime of his, while Vailyx had grown cold by comparison, still mourning the deaths of his two best friends Tiergan and Lurial. He was well on his way to becoming worthy enough to study in the ways of a Dragoon, which Caen would lovingly attempt to mimic. By Caen's tenth year, Vailyx has sought to forgive himself for not being able to save Tiergan and Lurial, seeing much of his younger self in Caen, who would bring light and joy to his terrible sorrow and cast it aside. For the first time, Caen was able to break through his older brother's cold exterior, and the brothers would bond happily for the next year. Another year passed... and with it, the Grand Companies of Eorzea prepared to meet Nael Van Darnus's VIIth Legion on the fields of Carteneau.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Cruelty of Fate===&lt;br /&gt;
C'aseen and Vailyx had made up their minds to fight alongside the Maelstrom forces at Carteneau. Yet, as Dalamud had lowered closer to Eorzea, Vailyx feared that the battle would not be won, and urged V'ira to take Caen on a ship and flee the continent. Caen took this terribly, and took up his practice lance, trying to fight Vailyx to let him go with them. Vailyx, out of options, slashed the practice lance in half and cut his brother across the cheek in an attempt to make his brother hate him, so that he wouldn't want to join them at Carteneau. Caen, now sporting a nasty cross-shaped wound, flung himself at his brother, understanding his fears and embracing him one last time. Vailyx would hand his mother letters to Caen, and, embracing them one last time, rushed off to join C'aseen at the battle. Caen and V'ira were able to get passage to a ship heading for another continent with other refugees, yet as Dalamud drew ever closer, the captain of their ship, Kruz Rosgaldornyn, revealed his ugly plot to turn the ship towards Ul'dah, and sell everyone aboard as slaves into the Ul'dahn underground black market. Kruz would attempt to seize V'ira and have his way with the miqo'te woman before they arrived, but Caen begged and pleaded him to release her, offering his own life in exchange. A twisted being, Kruz agreed, and took the young lad to his quarters, where he tortured the boy for making him look weak in front of his crew. As the beating grew worse, Caen could not take it anymore and bit the man's ear off. Enraged, Kruz tied the boy down and prepared to cut Caen's tail off. Before the blow was struck, V'ira burst down the door, stunning Kruz with a glass bottle to the face and released Caen. As they rushed to a lifeboat, the waves grew restless and aggressive, and the skies turned violent. Flares rained down from the sky, flinging themselves into the deep ocean. Amidst the chaos, V'ira removed her violet earrings and wrapped them around Vailyx's letters, tucking them into Caen's jacket. She embraced her son for the last time, and the ship was hit by one of Bahamut's flares. Caen was thrust into the air along with debris from the ship, the bodies of refugees, and V'ira. He reached for her, in an attempt to fly towards her again, and screamed her name, just as she was engulfed by flames. Caen hit the water with a terrible force... and fell into the abyss of his mind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Awakening to Null===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen awoke to a warm bed, in the small home of Faust Jabari, a fisherman in Vesper Bay. He had been asleep for nearly a week. When Faust asked the boy his name, the boy could not recall. In fact he knew not who he was, nor where he was... nor why Faust had no tail when the lad had one. Faust attempted to look through the letters Caen had washed ashore with, yet they were almost too water-logged to read. All he could make out is they were addressed to &amp;quot;Caen&amp;quot;... from someone named Vailyx. Taking a shot in the dark, Faust would return Caen's name to him, and gift the lost miqo'te with that of his own surname, &amp;quot;Jabari&amp;quot; until his memories returned. Caen was timid and shy around the other kids in Vesper, while many of them were around their eleventh year, as he was, he felt terrified to be around people. His days were spent trying to piece together who he was, and his nightmares were plagued by a vision of his chasing a red-haired knight with a lance into a blinding horizon, yet he could never catch them. It wasn't until Faust took Caen along with him to trade his wares at Ul'dah, did remnants of himself return.&lt;br /&gt;
Faust briefly left Caen with Momodi of ''The Quicksand'' while he went to trade his wares at market. It was then that Caen witnessed the sorrow of a beautiful lady named Sarisa Clementine. A band of adventurers, her comrades tried anything they could to get her to find hope that her lover had survived the Battle Of Carteneau, but she would turn them away. Caen was overcome with a need to make her smile, and approached her, initiating conversation. Sarisa was so shocked that a mysterious boy would just walk up and chat with her, that she obliged. The two would meet at ''The Quicksand'' and talk often, about Caen's missing memories, and of Sarisa and her love for her fiancee, Lieru. And one day, Caen sang to her... a ballad conjured from the depths of his mind... and for the first time in a long time, she smiled. It was then that Caen decided, it was smiles like hers he wanted to one day protect. And he would be the light in the darkness for those who had lost their own. He dreamt of a world without sorrow, without war or bloodshed, and became determined to become strong enough to herald the arrival of such a world.&lt;br /&gt;
==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;font-size:40px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;After Meteor&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:RainyCaen.jpg|left|RainyCaen.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
===Five Years Later... (2.0)===&lt;br /&gt;
After convincing Faust to journey to Mor Dhona and find his wife Maria, Caen had sang in the streets of Ul'dah for gil, while also finding an opportunity to become a messenger bearing secret letters for groups that would not like to see them taken from moogles. It was Naih'ir Molkot and Momodi of ''The Quicksand'' that would offer Caen a real job, washing dishes and serving the patrons of the inn. During this time, Caen would also find habit of &amp;quot;perching&amp;quot; atop the rails of the room, conversing with strangers and getting them to detail their adventures outside the desert, having no memory of the world beyond. Caen still yearns for a place to call home once again, and prays that the Twelve might offer a hint as to why his memory was taken from him. Still, he wields a confident smirk and a bright yellow attire, in a hope to be a light for everyone and make them smile...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Brave New Realm (2.1)===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen could say his life changed when he met a group of adventurers in the Quicksand. The first man was a Dragoon named Artorias Mason. At first the Huyr was a marvel to behold, capable of endless feats and even more knowledge. He had had everything... and lost it all to the Empire. He was an inspiration... yet darkness existed in the mans heart having lost all he held dear. He denied the Gods existence and placed Caen's undying faith to the Twelve among the ranks of the pathetic; an event that shook the boy to his core and giving him doubt for the first time.  During a trip out to Crescent Cove, Caen and Artorias run in with Garrett Slater, a free-paladin in training. Caen shows them both a crashed Garlean vessel, rusted and long-dead, when they are attacked by a giant yarzon. After defeating the vilekin, Garrett and Artorias meet in private when Caen is suddenly caught in a Garlean ambush. In a narrow victory, the group is able to flee towards Ul'dah to return Caen to the Quicksand. The following day, Caen was approached by a woman named Kelvena, who searches for her father Ikus and his mercenary company Lost Rogues. When she finds out that Caen has never been outside Ul'dah, she, Artorias, and Garrett decide to take the boy to Limsa Lominsa. There, it is revealed that Artorias plans to kill himself after fighting the primals and defeating Gaius von Baelsar. Although Caen pleads with him, Artorias' mind is made up and he eventually leaves. It is then that Kelvena and Garrett take Caen to Gridania... where Caen visits the Lancer's Guild and finds the Last Letter of the Swifttail. These last written words of his older brother, Vailyx ensure that Caen really is Caen, and that he should continue to live his own life as his father and mother had wanted. Still wishing he could remember his family, Caen tries to find solace among his new friends. Artorias senses the boy's strife and bids Kelvena look after Caen like an older sister.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Shards of the Forsaken (2.2)===&lt;br /&gt;
One night, Caen began hearing voices in his head, including images and emotions felt by people he didn't know. This led him to run off into the Gold Court unable to control his own pain. Garrett, Kelvena, and Artorias would try to help Caen... only to be approached by two enigmatic miqo'te. Tiergan Vashir and An'nai came to find Caen, but after Artorias threatened Tiergan, the miqo'te let slip that Caen may, in fact have a shard within him, allowing him to tap into latent power and talk with others over long distances. It was only after Caen got his control over his emotions that Brynhilde Wulf appeared before the lad. After inspecting the boy, she made it clear to everyone that he was not one of the shard bearers... but in his mind, Caen could hear her saying something different. He was a shard-bearer... and a rune slowly affixed itself above Caen's heart.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sand and Snow (2.3/2.4)===&lt;br /&gt;
It was the day when Caen was waiting to be deployed with a handful of other new Flame cadets to the Sagolii desert. The information broker, Lurial Vashir found Caen first and told him the truth. His family was still alive, and his older cousins had survived the moonfall five years ago. Shocked, the miqo'te boy grew quickly attached to both Lurial and Tiergan.&lt;br /&gt;
Caen's Flame deployment also ended quickly, as sand worms attacked the site of the training grounds. With the telepathic assistance from afar through the link, Caen was able to drag the soldier caravan and a few survivors back to Ul'dah. Caen was granted a scout position, which was limited to parcel and supply delivery, if only for the boy's speed and diligence.&lt;br /&gt;
The dark hood of the Entudenin reared its head and began to attack shard-bearers, Caen included. At one point, Caen was pushed off of the high walls of Coerthas by a dark agent of the Entudenin. The boy was paralyzed from the waist down and after three days, was found by Tiergan, who had to fight past two agents to rescue his cousin. Caen was taken to the Shroud for extensive healing and afterwards, found himself hiding from the shard-bearer headquarters, afraid of being attacked by another of the dark hoods.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Taken (2.55)===&lt;br /&gt;
As the moon cycled around the world over and over, Caen took up his old errand-tail ways by delivering letters for different people in Ul'dah, and occasionally the other nations of Eorzea. However, due to the sensitive information he unwittingly carried, he was made a target by the Syndicate agents after he was seen handing over letters addressed to the Sultana. On the night where the Eorzean Alliance were greeting the ambassadors from Ishgard, fighting began to break out in the city. Caen was chased by a few of the brass blades through the Gold Court, and nearly made it to the Royal Promenade, where he was knocked out by an ambush. Caen was imprisoned, and then sold into a slave ring with the rest of the prisoners that sat in the Ul'dahn cells. &lt;br /&gt;
==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;font-size:40px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Heavensward&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:CaenBard.jpg|left|CaenBard.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
=== These Eyes of Mine (3.1)===&lt;br /&gt;
It was soon discovered that Caen had been sold to an illegal gladiator ring where slaves were matched against each other for fictional lands and titles in a game played by the nobility of Ul'dah. The boy was forced to surrender his self-made vows to never take a life, as some fights in the ring were kill or be killed. His only possessions were a wicked pair of twin daggers that he was taught to use by another fellow slave named Yae. After numerous attempts to escape and push letters from windows, Lurial Vashir and a number of brave souls, including her brother Tiergan, were able to locate Caen and organized an assault on the ringleader's mansion. Only known as her moniker, &amp;quot;The Woman&amp;quot;, Caen's master threw all of her slaves and guards at the band of rescuers and even drugged Caen and set him upon his former friends. Caen was rendered unconscious during the fight and taken to the Forgotten Springs for healing and rest. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After waking up, Caen felt terrified to meet his cousins and friends again. He perceived his soul and eyes to be stained with the lives he was forced to take during his time as a gladiator. For the time being, he subtly struggles to continue wearing the mask of unbridled happiness just as he did before. The lad now carries a pain in his heart and wonders if he even deserves to live after betraying his promise to never stain his hands with blood. In spite of his inner turmoil, he made preparations to become an adventurer himself and sought employment in Ishgard, recently united with the Eorzean Alliance. Employed as a supply runner for Betelgeuse Bordeaux's Button Shoppe, Caen finds himself working early mornings; running across the realm to spread elaborate buttons to the rest of Eorzea's markets and weaver guilds. The lad spends alot of time in the Quicksand, stashing away his earned gil to fund an expedition to the mysteries of the northern lands where the lost boy hopes to find himself again.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Menphina's Blessing (3.2)===&lt;br /&gt;
Shortly after Bordeaux's business really took off, Caen stepped away from the company to focus more on himself. He was plagued by nightmares of the blood he had been forced to spill on the gladiator ring and it seemed that the blood would never wash off. It was around this time, after returning to Ul'dah, he befriended a keeper of the moon named Kiht'a Zajhiri. He and Kiht'a both shared age and a similar pattern in their pasts. After a few meetings, the friendship developed into a young romance. Although Khit'a had expressed his desire to be open with their relationship, even Caen could not deny how fascinated he was with the keeper and spent as much time with Kiht'a as he could. The two did nearly everything together and shared a room in the Goblet for a time. Caen subconsciously felt at home and loved for the first time, feeling his hidden sadness and loneliness drift away. He developed confidence as a mate and wished to become a stronger person for Kiht'a, who was skilled as a hunter. The seeker took it upon himself to practice archery and set his blood-stained daggers aside. He departed for the Shroud for pets to bring back to his partner as a surprise, but could not have foreseen the adventure he would become tangled up in.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Ballad of the Scarlet Devil (3.3)===&lt;br /&gt;
Deep amidst the Shroud, Caen stalked creatures of the forest, tapping into his hunting instinct as a seeker miqo'te. After a few pelts had been gathered and meat taken, the miqo'te found himself upon a lone lalafel who was strumming a lyre in the most hauntingly beautiful fashion. The notes echoed in Caen's heart and soul and seemed to vibrate every branch in their vicinity. A mist descended around them, and from the small being's lyre, came aetherial light. Without warning, a band of men cloaked in red rushed towards the lalafel. Caen shouted for the lalafel, who stopped playing and readied a bow for battle while Caen fired shots from his own bow from the bushes. The men dead, the enigmatic lalafel introduced himself as Rojiko Tojiko, claiming he was sent from Dravania to stop a ritual that would summon a voidsent lord. He also claimed that his melody lulled disturbed souls back to sleep, for if all of them were to awaken, a terrible darkness would be wrought across the realm. The men in red traveled to several areas of the Shroud corrupting aether, causing discord with the Elementals, and upon chanting an ancient ballad, they hoped to summon Forenzikon the Purge, who would bathe the lands in an azure light, dispelling the Elemental balance forever. Caen did not hesitate to join Rojiko and the two set off to purify the Shroud. Caen explained how he had felt when Rojiko played his melody and the lalafel took notice of Caen's gift for song as they walked together. Before they slept, Rojiko showed the miqo'te how to play the lute, but commented on how Caen could never hope to play with such power without a soulstone. Even still, Caen was happy to learn Rojiko's many tools of the trade: Trick arrows, poison arrowheads, along with a few songs to play, should Caen ever obtain a lute of his own. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Between fending off the red-cloaked men, Rojiko putting disturbed spirits to rest with song, and campfire tales, Caen hardly noticed weeks go by. In was before the final spirit could be laid to rest that the two were ambushed by Coeurlclaw bandits. Outnumbered, Caen and Rojiko were captured and the lalafel was gravely wounded. They begged to be freed as to prevent the voidsent from being awoken and Rojiko, out of desperation, finally persuaded the leader of the band to be able to entertain them all with a song. With a strange magic, the small bard lulled them all to sleep. He and Caen escaped, making great haste to the final resting place. Caen made use of every trick he had been taught, covering Rojiko to his last arrow as the lalafel played his final song. The trees shook as the spirit of the voidsent vanished and upon strumming his last string, Rojiko dropped to his knees. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After dressing each others wounds and enjoying their victroy, Rojiko asked Caen to travel back to Dravania with him. Caen agreed, still unbelieving that they had beaten back such a force. The journey was oddly peaceful and upon arriving to the Hinterlands, Rojiko bid Caen goodbye, simply saying where he was going, the miqo'te couldn't follow. He passed his lyre to the lad, making the seeker promise to remember the importance of song and how even something so simple as a melody could take back the night.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

==Trivia &amp;amp; Misc==&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen will sometimes make subtle references to Final Fantasy IX.&lt;br /&gt;

::* Caen will often be played with techno/dance/hip hop music in the background and his soundtrack depicts songs of this genre.

&lt;div&gt;''&amp;quot;Believe in me, for my resolve does not waver, nor can it be fractured.&amp;quot; ~Vailyx the Swifttail''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Caen Jabari''' is a young miqo'te who was found washed ashore in Vesper Bay on the day of the Great Calamity. Caen remembered nothing of his first eleven years, and woke up to a world he did not remember living in. All he had on him, besides the tattered rags that covered his body, were water-logged letters addressed to &amp;quot;Caen&amp;quot; from an older brother &amp;quot;Vailyx&amp;quot; and held together by a pair of violet earrings. Thankfully, the kinder fisherman, Faust Jabari was able to find the young miqo'te and semi-raised the boy to be able to live on his own. After five years, not only has Eorzea changed, but so has the young seeker of the sun.&lt;br /&gt;

===Appearance===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;You may be Ul'dah's desert canary, but you bear the heart of the phoenix, Caen.  You can always reignite and fly again.&amp;quot;'' ~Tiergan Vashir&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caen sports a wide-eyed, youthful face with bronzed skin due to living under the desert sun for years. Although he's lived in Ul'dah in the summers he remembers, Caen sports a slight Lominsan accent due to being raised in the city beside the Rhotano. His eyes are a bright amber and his large canines tend to show when he grins with his teeth. The lad also sports a shaggy mane of royal blue hair that would attempt to curl inwards over his face, yet it is mostly kept covered by a light head-wrapping. On his left cheek, he bears a X-shaped scar. Caen is best well known by his choice of attire; his bright yellow-coloured garb, to show off his love for the sunlight. His favorite articles of clothing usually include loose sarouel and leather boots or crakows. He prefers loose, billowy shirts in lieu of proper button-downs and is prone to sleeve-less vests and sometimes revealing chest pieces.                                                                 &lt;br /&gt;

Caen is wild and carefree making him a perfect candidate for odd jobs through-out Thanalan and Ul'dah herself. A friend to everyone, the boy is cheerful and will rarely hesitate to chat up a stranger. His favorite pastime is residing within ''The Quicksand'' to watch the comings and goings of adventurers, occasionally prodding them for tales of their adventures outside the desert. This inspired him to finally leave Ul'dah to experience adventures of his own. Prone to mischief and hardly watching where he steps, Caen often finds himself in troublesome situations and relies on his quick-thinking and unorthodox methods of survival. The miqo'te is always in high-spirits and is at his best around friends, to whom he is very loyal.&lt;br /&gt;

===Fighting Style===&lt;br /&gt;
::*Caen is naturally gifted with hand-to-hand combat, but is clumsy as a toddler when it comes to a sword. During his childhood in Limsa Lominsa, he was often made fun of for his Hyuran name, which led to many street brawls with the local bullies. He taught himself how to punch, kick, and dodge out of attacks when overwhelmed, becoming effective at fighting many targets at once.&lt;br /&gt;
::*When his brother Vailyx began to take up the art of the Lance, Caen naturally went out and carved his own pole-arm out of a fallen tree branch to teach himself to do that as well, desiring skills better than his perfect brother. Vailyx was never to busy to show Caen up and belittle the boy on his flawed techniques, yet managed to teach him proper form over the course of three years. By berating his younger brother on what not to do, he effectively taught him how to use the lance as an extension of his arm. And although Caen was never old enough to leave Limsa and study the lance abroad, Vailyx was secretly proud of Caen.&lt;br /&gt;
::*Caen continued to pave his way through the Thanalan with his fists after he had awoken from losing his memory. After saving his foster-father, Faust, from a yarzon swarm a month after awakening, he took Caen  to the Pugilist's Guild within Ul'dah, where the boy would hone his skills. While mostly his training pertained of running errands for the Holyfist, Hamon, Caen did occasionally teach himself a less-clumsy fighting style after watching the students spar.&lt;br /&gt;
::*Caen often speaks of how beautiful and interesting he believes swords to be, but he cannot properly wield one on his own. When he does, he finds the blade &amp;quot;rejecting&amp;quot; him. Still he finds them incredibly intriguing.&lt;br /&gt;
::*Recently, the yellow-clad miqo'te has shown an impressive form using twin daggers. His agility from his training under Hamon and acrobatic nature have benefitted him greatly in close-quarters combat.&lt;br /&gt;

===Aliases/Nicknames===&lt;br /&gt;
::* '''Canary''': After many attempts to get the lonely adventurer Sarisa Clementine to smile, Caen finally succeeded after singing a ballad to her one morning. She smiled for the first time in two years, since Carteneau, and called him her Canary. It has become a rare nickname for Caen, as few know of it, yet he will cherish it forever. It was also a name called to him by his mother, V'ira, when she taught him to sing as a child.&lt;br /&gt;
::* '''Chocobo''': Called this by his close friends, Caen is often compared to the yellow flightless bird of Eorzea, due to his bright yellow choice of clothing.&lt;br /&gt;
::* '''Blue Wolf''': Only the residents of Vesper Bay would call Caen by such. Once when he was skinny-dipping in the Bay, a group of bullies thought it would be funny to steal his clothes. Stark-naked, Caen stealthily tried to make it back to Faust's house to no avail, as the streets were rather crowded. He soon came across a pail of blue paint, and, seeing it as his only option, dumped it all over himself. He would then dart through the streets, on all fours, to Faust's home, terrifying the citizenry who lay sight to the &amp;quot;Blue Wolf Monster&amp;quot;. After Faust explained the truth to everyone to avoid panic, it became a running gag within the small town's residents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

===Family===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Father: C'aseen the Poet, ''deceased''&lt;br /&gt;
::* Mother: V'ira Tarja, ''deceased''&lt;br /&gt;
::* Older Brother: Vailyx the Swifttail, ''missing in action''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Foster Father: Faust Jabari, A hyuran fisherman and resident of Vesper Bay. He was fishing off the coast of Crescent Cove when he noticed a small boy clinging to a large piece of driftwood in the sea. He became Caen's foster father, and attempted to teach Caen the ways of the world the boy had forgotten about.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Cousin: '''[[Tiergan Vashir]]''', One of Caen's only living blood-relatives. Since he learned that Caen is his long-lost cousin, Teigan is fiercely protective of the lad, trying to be the brother Vailyx would have been to Caen. Caen loves his cousin dearly, and often tries to act out to make the older miqo'te proud of him. Caen, unbeknownst to Tiergan, would often stalk his cousin in order to study him and adopt his mannerisms. Still, much of Tiergan's past is a mystery to Caen, as the boy is unsure whether it is inappropriate to ask. Even still, friends often mistake Tiergan and Caen for brothers, and the two would go along with it, as Caen feels that Tiergan is a great older brother, in Vailyx's absence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Cousin: '''[[Lurial Vashir]]''', One of Caen's only living blood-relatives. Luri was able to track down the youngest son of her aunt V'ira to the streets of Ul'dah. When she connected the dots, she came to Caen and revealed the truth to him. While Caen hides inner worry of being apart of a family again, he cannot help but feel at home again, in a place where he belongs. Until her recent disappearance, Caen had stayed in her home in the city of Ul'dah... now Caen searches for his cousin hoping to reunite them again as she once did for him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Bodyguard: '''[[Furious Storm]]''', The bodyguard of Lurial Vashir, Caen and &amp;quot;Fury&amp;quot; instantly became best friends when Caen decided to break the shyness between them by bringing the roegadyn a warm apple tart after his first night at Lurial's home. Now the two are basically inseparable, and Caen never forgets to bring the large mute treats from around Thanalan. While he did vanish around the same time as Lurial, he still sends him treats and candy via moogle post, as they can apparently track the roegadyn better than Caen could.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Friends===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caen has had the fortune of meeting all kinds of souls by hanging near ''The Quicksand'' after leaving Vesper Bay when Faust journeyed to Mor Dhona to find his wife, Maria. Some have touched his lives more than others and even after quitting his job serving patrons for Momodi, he still eats most of his meals there and hangs around for a good while after. Being the jewel of the sand, Ul'dah is frequented by many and Caen makes a good attempt to meet them all, offering strangers a friendly flap of his ears and a story exchange to boot.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
((friend's list coming soon T-T))&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Chocobos===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen has always had a great affinity for befriending chocobos. He often wished to become a chocobo porter or breeder when he was younger. Some will find he actually talks to them. In moments of stress, the lad will often wander near chocobos and pet/talk to them. Since the birds seem to enjoy his company, many nearby porters or breeders don't mind his presence. It's not entirely sure if Caen wears yellow to display his love for chocobos or for the sun, since he favors both. Yet when asked, he will mention that he might favor chocobos more because you can't hug the sun. He dreams of having a chocobo of his own someday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Enemies===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caen doesn't have any real enemies that he knows of. He has lived an honest life and cannot hold a grudge to save it. Even when disrespected or belittled by an individual, he is quick to forgive all after sleeping it off, and greets them the next day, cheerful as ever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:PeekingCaen.jpg|center|PeekingCaen.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
===Common Rumors===&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;That there is the boy who works at Momodi's place, wiv ol' Naih'ir... the one who's always on them rails. I dunno how'ee does it, but his smile sure brightens up a room!&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;What sort of fool wears such bright yellow? If I wore such on the frontlines, archers would have me dead in seconds. If you ask me, he's just asking for death.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;Such a cutie... but what sort of name is Caen for a miqo'te? Doesn't he respect his own kind?&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moderate Rumors===&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;Shhh, don't stare... that's the boy who was kidnapped. The one by that ruffian Cade... the poor dear must've been so frightened.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot; Hah! Y'know Momodi won't let him drink? Says he's too young fer such things... but I saw him get a good boxin' 'round the ears last time he was sniffin' 'round it! Haw Haw Haw!&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;That little shite ate all my fish! Orphans... hate their scum!&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Rare Rumors===&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot; I heard him sing once, yes. It was so beautiful... but so sad. You could almost feel as if there was some pain in his heart... his very soul.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot; Didn't y'know? 'ee can't remember a lick o' who he was b'fore the moon fell them years ago. Poor bloke. Must be lonely, havin' no-one to hold yeh.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;Calls himself the 'errand-tail' of the Sultana... he's the one Raubahn trusts with those letters. Sometimes I wonder what's in them, but it seems he doesn't know himself. Best not to dwell on such things.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;They were carrying the little lad in from the Shroud. You should have heard his breathing; I was so afraid for him. A monster? No... they say it was one of those Warriors. Are even our children unsafe?&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===PC Rumors===&lt;br /&gt;

::* ''&amp;quot;Caen?  That's my younger cousin - honest, brave, and constantly getting into trouble.  He's always working to try and become a 'hero' like the rest of us, but he doesn't seem to realise he's already a strong, courageous spirit.  His elder brother Vailyx would be proud of him...&amp;quot;'' -- [[Tiergan Vashir]]&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;If there should be one person in the entirety of Hydaelyn that I wholeheartedly trust, 'tis Caen.

==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;font-size:40px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;The Story&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:CaenByEdge.jpg|right|CaenByEdge.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
===The Legacy of C'aseen the Poet===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen's father, known as C'aseen the Poet by his brothers in arms, was a monk in the ranks of the Fists of Rhalgr. At a young age, he abandoned his tribe along with his best friend F'une to study the ways of balance and the fist, and later came to unlock his hidden chakra. Although he claimed to be a pacifist, C'aseen yearned for unmatched power so that he could defend his way of life unopposed, whereas F'une was more aggressive, and fully embraced the way of The Destroyer. C'aseen would make a habit of sharing his small wealth with the less fortunate of Ala Mhigo, and aiding in small jobs among the lower class, behind F'une's back. He would thatch holes in roofs, gather game, and pull caravans himself. He was also known by his spouts of poetry that he would preach about the world and life. It was then, he met a woman named V'ira Tarja and fell madly in love with her. Traditions of his kind be damned, he would spend nights singing ballads to her... not knowing she was fighting feelings for him. Eventually they would come together and sire a white-haired boy who V'ira named Vailyx.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Vailyx, the Swifttail of Ala Mhigo===&lt;br /&gt;
Vailyx grew into a wild-cat like his mother, yet bore the confidence of his father. Fond of all manner of mischief, he grew up alongside his best friend and cousin Tiergan Vashir. Along with Tiergan's sister Lurial, the trio would cast bouts of chaos among the lower levels of Ala Mhigo. Dodoes would suddenly find their pens opened and run through the streets, food from merchant stalls would go missing, and there was even one incident when the three road atop a chocobo taken back from a corrupt tax collector for their neighbor, who was struggling to make ends meet. Vailyx was always there to save his friends from peril, coming out with a bloody nose and a few other bruises; his trade-mark fanged smirk not wavering. He named himself the ''Swifttail'' of Ala Mhigo, claiming it was a title bestowed by the Twelve for his cunning and speed, but in truth, he merely thought it sounded cool and intimidating. At one point, he even dyed his long, white hair into a bright red colour, so that he would look like a fiery comet as he rushed through the streets and rooftops. Their childhood was happy... but it was not to last.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Escape from Ala Mhigo===&lt;br /&gt;
Vailyx was eight years old when the Empire lay waste to Ala Mhigo in their campaign to take over Eorzea. F'une attempted to sneak C'aseen and his family onto a refugee caravan, fleeing the city amongst the chaos. This act cost F'une his life, but ensured his comrade's safety. V'ira's family lost or missing, C'aseen thought it would be best to take his family far from Ala Mhigo and start over, eventually booking them a passage to Limsa Lominsa, the entire journey from Ala Mhigo to Limsa taking two years. It would be there that V'ira bore another child, a small blue-haired boy with amber eyes named Caen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Caen, The Amber Dawn===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen's childhood in Limsa Lominsa was a rather happy one. C'aseen sought to join the ranks of the Maelstrom, the Grand Company of Limsa, and Vailyx sought to become a warrior like his father. This left Caen alone most of the time, when he was able to wander off without V'ira. Caen was the representation of a new and happy life for the four, and a hope for the future. As Caen grew older, he adopted a mixture of his family traits. While his mischief wasn't as grand as Vailyx's schemes back in Ala Mhigo, they often led to street brawls with the local bullies who beat Caen, as he was a miqo'te with the hyuran name. During the brawls, many of the &amp;quot;bullies&amp;quot; came to like the boy, as the miqo'te never fought as if he was fighting for his life and instead fighting for the fun of it. It became clear that it was difficult to become enemies with the boy, and most of his hyran adversaries turned into good friends or friendly rivals. When he wasn't tussling in the lower decks, Caen would climb to the higher towers of Limsa, looking out at the sea to watch his father fish, and see ships come in to port. He came to know almost everyone, as he was quite nosey, and always was willing to lend a helping hand to a downtrodden stranger. V'ira would teach the young kitten to sing, to aid him in his quest to make all strangers happy, but not without warning the boy of the dangers of the world.&lt;br /&gt;
By the time Caen grew to his ninth year, he was already a thorn in his older brother's side. Constantly trying to show Vailyx up was a favorite pastime of his, while Vailyx had grown cold by comparison, still mourning the deaths of his two best friends Tiergan and Lurial. He was well on his way to becoming worthy enough to study in the ways of a Dragoon, which Caen would lovingly attempt to mimic. By Caen's tenth year, Vailyx has sought to forgive himself for not being able to save Tiergan and Lurial, seeing much of his younger self in Caen, who would bring light and joy to his terrible sorrow and cast it aside. For the first time, Caen was able to break through his older brother's cold exterior, and the brothers would bond happily for the next year. Another year passed... and with it, the Grand Companies of Eorzea prepared to meet Nael Van Darnus's VIIth Legion on the fields of Carteneau.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Cruelty of Fate===&lt;br /&gt;
C'aseen and Vailyx had made up their minds to fight alongside the Maelstrom forces at Carteneau. Yet, as Dalamud had lowered closer to Eorzea, Vailyx feared that the battle would not be won, and urged V'ira to take Caen on a ship and flee the continent. Caen took this terribly, and took up his practice lance, trying to fight Vailyx to let him go with them. Vailyx, out of options, slashed the practice lance in half and cut his brother across the cheek in an attempt to make his brother hate him, so that he wouldn't want to join them at Carteneau. Caen, now sporting a nasty cross-shaped wound, flung himself at his brother, understanding his fears and embracing him one last time. Vailyx would hand his mother letters to Caen, and, embracing them one last time, rushed off to join C'aseen at the battle. Caen and V'ira were able to get passage to a ship heading for another continent with other refugees, yet as Dalamud drew ever closer, the captain of their ship, Kruz Rosgaldornyn, revealed his ugly plot to turn the ship towards Ul'dah, and sell everyone aboard as slaves into the Ul'dahn underground black market. Kruz would attempt to seize V'ira and have his way with the miqo'te woman before they arrived, but Caen begged and pleaded him to release her, offering his own life in exchange. A twisted being, Kruz agreed, and took the young lad to his quarters, where he tortured the boy for making him look weak in front of his crew. As the beating grew worse, Caen could not take it anymore and bit the man's ear off. Enraged, Kruz tied the boy down and prepared to cut Caen's tail off. Before the blow was struck, V'ira burst down the door, stunning Kruz with a glass bottle to the face and released Caen. As they rushed to a lifeboat, the waves grew restless and aggressive, and the skies turned violent. Flares rained down from the sky, flinging themselves into the deep ocean. Amidst the chaos, V'ira removed her violet earrings and wrapped them around Vailyx's letters, tucking them into Caen's jacket. She embraced her son for the last time, and the ship was hit by one of Bahamut's flares. Caen was thrust into the air along with debris from the ship, the bodies of refugees, and V'ira. He reached for her, in an attempt to fly towards her again, and screamed her name, just as she was engulfed by flames. Caen hit the water with a terrible force... and fell into the abyss of his mind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Awakening to Null===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen awoke to a warm bed, in the small home of Faust Jabari, a fisherman in Vesper Bay. He had been asleep for nearly a week. When Faust asked the boy his name, the boy could not recall. In fact he knew not who he was, nor where he was... nor why Faust had no tail when the lad had one. Faust attempted to look through the letters Caen had washed ashore with, yet they were almost too water-logged to read. All he could make out is they were addressed to &amp;quot;Caen&amp;quot;... from someone named Vailyx. Taking a shot in the dark, Faust would return Caen's name to him, and gift the lost miqo'te with that of his own surname, &amp;quot;Jabari&amp;quot; until his memories returned. Caen was timid and shy around the other kids in Vesper, while many of them were around their eleventh year, as he was, he felt terrified to be around people. His days were spent trying to piece together who he was, and his nightmares were plagued by a vision of his chasing a red-haired knight with a lance into a blinding horizon, yet he could never catch them. It wasn't until Faust took Caen along with him to trade his wares at Ul'dah, did remnants of himself return.&lt;br /&gt;
Faust briefly left Caen with Momodi of ''The Quicksand'' while he went to trade his wares at market. It was then that Caen witnessed the sorrow of a beautiful lady named Sarisa Clementine. A band of adventurers, her comrades tried anything they could to get her to find hope that her lover had survived the Battle Of Carteneau, but she would turn them away. Caen was overcome with a need to make her smile, and approached her, initiating conversation. Sarisa was so shocked that a mysterious boy would just walk up and chat with her, that she obliged. The two would meet at ''The Quicksand'' and talk often, about Caen's missing memories, and of Sarisa and her love for her fiancee, Lieru. And one day, Caen sang to her... a ballad conjured from the depths of his mind... and for the first time in a long time, she smiled. It was then that Caen decided, it was smiles like hers he wanted to one day protect. And he would be the light in the darkness for those who had lost their own. He dreamt of a world without sorrow, without war or bloodshed, and became determined to become strong enough to herald the arrival of such a world.&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:RainyCaen.jpg|left|RainyCaen.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
===Five Years Later... (2.0)===&lt;br /&gt;
After convincing Faust to journey to Mor Dhona and find his wife Maria, Caen had sang in the streets of Ul'dah for gil, while also finding an opportunity to become a messenger bearing secret letters for groups that would not like to see them taken from moogles. It was Naih'ir Molkot and Momodi of ''The Quicksand'' that would offer Caen a real job, washing dishes and serving the patrons of the inn. During this time, Caen would also find habit of &amp;quot;perching&amp;quot; atop the rails of the room, conversing with strangers and getting them to detail their adventures outside the desert, having no memory of the world beyond. Caen still yearns for a place to call home once again, and prays that the Twelve might offer a hint as to why his memory was taken from him. Still, he wields a confident smirk and a bright yellow attire, in a hope to be a light for everyone and make them smile...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Brave New Realm (2.1)===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen could say his life changed when he met a group of adventurers in the Quicksand. The first man was a Dragoon named Artorias Mason. At first the Huyr was a marvel to behold, capable of endless feats and even more knowledge. He had had everything... and lost it all to the Empire. He was an inspiration... yet darkness existed in the mans heart having lost all he held dear. He denied the Gods existence and placed Caen's undying faith to the Twelve among the ranks of the pathetic; an event that shook the boy to his core and giving him doubt for the first time.  During a trip out to Crescent Cove, Caen and Artorias run in with Garrett Slater, a free-paladin in training. Caen shows them both a crashed Garlean vessel, rusted and long-dead, when they are attacked by a giant yarzon. After defeating the vilekin, Garrett and Artorias meet in private when Caen is suddenly caught in a Garlean ambush. In a narrow victory, the group is able to flee towards Ul'dah to return Caen to the Quicksand. The following day, Caen was approached by a woman named Kelvena, who searches for her father Ikus and his mercenary company Lost Rogues. When she finds out that Caen has never been outside Ul'dah, she, Artorias, and Garrett decide to take the boy to Limsa Lominsa. There, it is revealed that Artorias plans to kill himself after fighting the primals and defeating Gaius von Baelsar. Although Caen pleads with him, Artorias' mind is made up and he eventually leaves. It is then that Kelvena and Garrett take Caen to Gridania... where Caen visits the Lancer's Guild and finds the Last Letter of the Swifttail. These last written words of his older brother, Vailyx ensure that Caen really is Caen, and that he should continue to live his own life as his father and mother had wanted. Still wishing he could remember his family, Caen tries to find solace among his new friends. Artorias senses the boy's strife and bids Kelvena look after Caen like an older sister.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Shards of the Forsaken (2.2)===&lt;br /&gt;
One night, Caen began hearing voices in his head, including images and emotions felt by people he didn't know. This led him to run off into the Gold Court unable to control his own pain. Garrett, Kelvena, and Artorias would try to help Caen... only to be approached by two enigmatic miqo'te. Tiergan Vashir and An'nai came to find Caen, but after Artorias threatened Tiergan, the miqo'te let slip that Caen may, in fact have a shard within him, allowing him to tap into latent power and talk with others over long distances. It was only after Caen got his control over his emotions that Brynhilde Wulf appeared before the lad. After inspecting the boy, she made it clear to everyone that he was not one of the shard bearers... but in his mind, Caen could hear her saying something different. He was a shard-bearer... and a rune slowly affixed itself above Caen's heart.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sand and Snow (2.3/2.4)===&lt;br /&gt;
It was the day when Caen was waiting to be deployed with a handful of other new Flame cadets to the Sagolii desert. The information broker, Lurial Vashir found Caen first and told him the truth. His family was still alive, and his older cousins had survived the moonfall five years ago. Shocked, the miqo'te boy grew quickly attached to both Lurial and Tiergan.&lt;br /&gt;
Caen's Flame deployment also ended quickly, as sand worms attacked the site of the training grounds. With the telepathic assistance from afar through the link, Caen was able to drag the soldier caravan and a few survivors back to Ul'dah. Caen was granted a scout position, which was limited to parcel and supply delivery, if only for the boy's speed and diligence.&lt;br /&gt;
The dark hood of the Entudenin reared its head and began to attack shard-bearers, Caen included. At one point, Caen was pushed off of the high walls of Coerthas by a dark agent of the Entudenin. The boy was paralyzed from the waist down and after three days, was found by Tiergan, who had to fight past two agents to rescue his cousin. Caen was taken to the Shroud for extensive healing and afterwards, found himself hiding from the shard-bearer headquarters, afraid of being attacked by another of the dark hoods.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Taken (2.55)===&lt;br /&gt;
As the moon cycled around the world over and over, Caen took up his old errand-tail ways by delivering letters for different people in Ul'dah, and occasionally the other nations of Eorzea. However, due to the sensitive information he unwittingly carried, he was made a target by the Syndicate agents after he was seen handing over letters addressed to the Sultana. On the night where the Eorzean Alliance were greeting the ambassadors from Ishgard, fighting began to break out in the city. Caen was chased by a few of the brass blades through the Gold Court, and nearly made it to the Royal Promenade, where he was knocked out by an ambush. Caen was imprisoned, and then sold into a slave ring with the rest of the prisoners that sat in the Ul'dahn cells. &lt;br /&gt;
==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;font-size:40px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Heavensward&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:CaenBard.jpg|left|CaenBard.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
=== These Eyes of Mine (3.1)===&lt;br /&gt;
It was soon discovered that Caen had been sold to an illegal gladiator ring where slaves were matched against each other for fictional lands and titles in a game played by the nobility of Ul'dah. The boy was forced to surrender his self-made vows to never take a life, as some fights in the ring were kill or be killed. His only possessions were a wicked pair of twin daggers that he was taught to use by another fellow slave named Yae. After numerous attempts to escape and push letters from windows, Lurial Vashir and a number of brave souls, including her brother Tiergan, were able to locate Caen and organized an assault on the ringleader's mansion. Only known as her moniker, &amp;quot;The Woman&amp;quot;, Caen's master threw all of her slaves and guards at the band of rescuers and even drugged Caen and set him upon his former friends. Caen was rendered unconscious during the fight and taken to the Forgotten Springs for healing and rest. After waking up, Caen felt terrified to meet his cousins and friends again. He perceived his soul and eyes to be stained with the lives he was forced to take during his time as a gladiator. For the time being, he subtly struggles to continue wearing the mask of unbridled happiness just as he did before. The lad now carries a pain in his heart and wonders if he even deserves to live after betraying his promise to never stain his hands with blood. In spite of his inner turmoil, he made preparations to become an adventurer himself and sought employment in Ishgard, recently united with the Eorzean Alliance. Employed as a supply runner for Betelgeuse Bordeaux's Button Shoppe, Caen finds himself working early mornings; running across the realm to spread elaborate buttons to the rest of Eorzea's markets and weaver guilds. The lad spends alot of time in the Quicksand, stashing away his earned gil to fund an expedition to the mysteries of the northern lands where the lost boy hopes to find himself again.&lt;br /&gt;
=== Menphina's Blessing (3.2)===&lt;br /&gt;
Shortly after Bordeaux's business really took off, Caen stepped away from the company to focus more on himself. He was plagued by nightmares of the blood he had been forced to spill on the gladiator ring and it seemed that the blood would never wash off. It was around this time, after returning to Ul'dah, he befriended a keeper of the moon named Kiht'a Zajhiri. He and Kiht'a both shared age and a similar pattern in their pasts. After a few meetings, the friendship developed into a young romance. Although Khit'a had expressed his desire to be open with their relationship, even Caen could not deny how fascinated he was with the keeper and spent as much time with Kiht'a as he could. The two did nearly everything together and shared a room in the Goblet for a time. Caen subconsciously felt at home and loved for the first time, feeling his hidden sadness and loneliness drift away. He developed confidence as a mate and wished to become a stronger person for Kiht'a, who was skilled as a hunter. The seeker took it upon himself to practice archery and set his blood-stained daggers aside. He departed for the Shroud for pets to bring back to his partner as a surprise, but could not have foreseen the adventure he would become tangled up in.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Ballad of the Scarlet Devil (3.3)===&lt;br /&gt;
Deep amidst the Shroud, Caen stalked creatures of the forest, tapping into his hunting instinct as a seeker miqo'te. After a few pelts had been gathered and meat taken, the miqo'te found himself upon a lone lalafel who was strumming a lyre in the most hauntingly beautiful fashion. The notes echoed in Caen's heart and soul and seemed to vibrate every branch in their vicinity. A mist descended around them, and from the small being's lyre, came aetherial light. Without warning, a band of men cloaked in red rushed towards the lalafel. Caen shouted for the lalafel, who stopped playing and readied a bow for battle while Caen fired shots from his own bow from the bushes. The men dead, the enigmatic lalafel introduced himself as Rojiko Tojiko, claiming he was sent from Dravania to stop a ritual that would summon a voidsent lord. He also claimed that his melody lulled disturbed souls back to sleep, for if all of them were to awaken, a terrible darkness would be wrought across the realm. The men in red traveled to several areas of the Shroud corrupting aether, causing discord with the Elementals, and upon chanting an ancient ballad, they hoped to summon Forenzikon the Purge, who would bathe the lands in an azure light, dispelling the Elemental balance forever. Caen did not hesitate to join Rojiko and the two set off to purify the Shroud. Caen explained how he had felt when Rojiko played his melody and the lalafel took notice of Caen's gift for song as they walked together. Before they slept, Rojiko showed the miqo'te how to play the lute, but commented on how Caen could never hope to play with such power without a soulstone. Even still, Caen was happy to learn Rojiko's many tools of the trade: Trick arrows, poison arrowheads, along with a few songs to play, should Caen ever obtain a lute of his own. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Between fending off the red-cloaked men, Rojiko putting disturbed spirits to rest with song, and campfire tales, Caen hardly noticed weeks go by. In was before the final spirit could be laid to rest that the two were ambushed by Coeurlclaw bandits. Outnumbered, Caen and Rojiko were captured and the lalafel was gravely wounded. They begged to be freed as to prevent the voidsent from being awoken and Rojiko, out of desperation, finally persuaded the leader of the band to be able to entertain them all with a song. With a strange magic, the small bard lulled them all to sleep. He and Caen escaped, making great haste to the final resting place. Caen made use of every trick he had been taught, covering Rojiko to his last arrow as the lalafel played his final song. The trees shook as the spirit of the voidsent vanished and upon strumming his last string, Rojiko dropped to his knees. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After dressing each others wounds and enjoying their victroy, Rojiko asked Caen to travel back to Dravania with him. Caen agreed, still unbelieving that they had beaten back such a force. The journey was oddly peaceful and upon arriving to the Hinterlands, Rojiko bid Caen goodbye, simply saying where he was going, the miqo'te couldn't follow. He passed his lyre to the lad, making the seeker promise to remember the importance of song and how even something so simple as a melody could take back the night.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

==Character Connections==&lt;br /&gt;
There are an abundance of souls who may have crossed paths with Caen as they live in Eorzea~&lt;br /&gt;

==Trivia &amp;amp; Misc==&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen will sometimes make subtle references to Final Fantasy IX.&lt;br /&gt;

::* Caen is unofficially voiced by Antony Del Rio.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen will often be played with techno/dance/hip hop music in the background and his soundtrack depicts songs of this genre. Examples include artists like Imagine Dragons, Eiffel 65, and the soundtrack from the Persona series of games, just to name a few. This is a reference to Vysce's favorite music as a child.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen's desire to &amp;quot;protect everyone's smiles&amp;quot; is a reference to the Kamen Rider series, particularly Kamen Rider OOO.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;''&amp;quot;Believe in me, for my resolve does not waver, nor can it be fractured.&amp;quot; ~Vailyx the Swifttail''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Caen Jabari''' is a young miqo'te who was found washed ashore in Vesper Bay on the day of the Great Calamity. Caen remembered nothing of his first eleven years, and woke up to a world he did not remember living in. All he had on him, besides the tattered rags that covered his body, were water-logged letters addressed to &amp;quot;Caen&amp;quot; from an older brother &amp;quot;Vailyx&amp;quot; and held together by a pair of violet earrings. Thankfully, the kinder fisherman, Faust Jabari was able to find the young miqo'te and semi-raised the boy to be able to live on his own. After five years, not only has Eorzea changed, but so has the young seeker of the sun.&lt;br /&gt;

===Appearance===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;You may be Ul'dah's desert canary, but you bear the heart of the phoenix, Caen.  You can always reignite and fly again.&amp;quot;'' ~Tiergan Vashir&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caen sports a wide-eyed, youthful face with bronzed skin due to living under the desert sun for years. Although he's lived in Ul'dah in the summers he remembers, Caen sports a slight Lominsan accent due to being raised in the city beside the Rhotano. His eyes are a bright amber and his large canines tend to show when he grins with his teeth. The lad also sports a shaggy mane of royal blue hair that would attempt to curl inwards over his face, yet it is mostly kept covered by a light head-wrapping. On his left cheek, he bears a X-shaped scar. Caen is best well known by his choice of attire; his bright yellow-coloured garb, to show off his love for the sunlight. His favorite articles of clothing usually include loose sarouel and leather boots or crakows. He prefers loose, billowy shirts in lieu of proper button-downs and is prone to sleeve-less vests and sometimes revealing chest pieces.                                                                 &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
===Personality===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:CaenJabari.jpg|left|CaenJabari.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
Caen is wild and carefree making him a perfect candidate for odd jobs through-out Thanalan and Ul'dah herself. A friend to everyone, the boy is cheerful and will rarely hesitate to chat up a stranger. His favorite pastime is residing within ''The Quicksand'' to watch the comings and goings of adventurers, occasionally prodding them for tales of their adventures outside the desert. This inspired him to finally leave Ul'dah to experience adventures of his own. Prone to mischief and hardly watching where he steps, Caen often finds himself in troublesome situations and relies on his quick-thinking and unorthodox methods of survival. The miqo'te is always in high-spirits and is at his best around friends, to whom he is very loyal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;font-size:40px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Martial Arts&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
===Fighting Style===&lt;br /&gt;
::*Caen is naturally gifted with hand-to-hand combat, but is clumsy as a toddler when it comes to a sword. During his childhood in Limsa Lominsa, he was often made fun of for his Hyuran name, which led to many street brawls with the local bullies. He taught himself how to punch, kick, and dodge out of attacks when overwhelmed, becoming effective at fighting many targets at once.&lt;br /&gt;
::*When his brother Vailyx began to take up the art of the Lance, Caen naturally went out and carved his own pole-arm out of a fallen tree branch to teach himself to do that as well, desiring skills better than his perfect brother. Vailyx was never to busy to show Caen up and belittle the boy on his flawed techniques, yet managed to teach him proper form over the course of three years. By berating his younger brother on what not to do, he effectively taught him how to use the lance as an extension of his arm. And although Caen was never old enough to leave Limsa and study the lance abroad, Vailyx was secretly proud of Caen.&lt;br /&gt;
::*Caen continued to pave his way through the Thanalan with his fists after he had awoken from losing his memory. After saving his foster-father, Faust, from a yarzon swarm a month after awakening, he took Caen  to the Pugilist's Guild within Ul'dah, where the boy would hone his skills. While mostly his training pertained of running errands for the Holyfist, Hamon, Caen did occasionally teach himself a less-clumsy fighting style after watching the students spar.&lt;br /&gt;
::*Caen often speaks of how beautiful and interesting he believes swords to be, but he cannot properly wield one on his own. When he does, he finds the blade &amp;quot;rejecting&amp;quot; him. Still he finds them incredibly intriguing.&lt;br /&gt;
::*Recently, the yellow-clad miqo'te has shown an impressive form using twin daggers. His agility from his training under Hamon and acrobatic nature have benefitted him greatly in close-quarters combat.&lt;br /&gt;

===Aliases/Nicknames===&lt;br /&gt;
::* '''Canary''': After many attempts to get the lonely adventurer Sarisa Clementine to smile, Caen finally succeeded after singing a ballad to her one morning. She smiled for the first time in two years, since Carteneau, and called him her Canary. It has become a rare nickname for Caen, as few know of it, yet he will cherish it forever. It was also a name called to him by his mother, V'ira, when she taught him to sing as a child.&lt;br /&gt;
::* '''Chocobo''': Called this by his close friends, Caen is often compared to the yellow flightless bird of Eorzea, due to his bright yellow choice of clothing.&lt;br /&gt;
::* '''Blue Wolf''': Only the residents of Vesper Bay would call Caen by such. Once when he was skinny-dipping in the Bay, a group of bullies thought it would be funny to steal his clothes. Stark-naked, Caen stealthily tried to make it back to Faust's house to no avail, as the streets were rather crowded. He soon came across a pail of blue paint, and, seeing it as his only option, dumped it all over himself. He would then dart through the streets, on all fours, to Faust's home, terrifying the citizenry who lay sight to the &amp;quot;Blue Wolf Monster&amp;quot;. After Faust explained the truth to everyone to avoid panic, it became a running gag within the small town's residents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

===Family===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Father: C'aseen the Poet, ''deceased''&lt;br /&gt;
::* Mother: V'ira Tarja, ''deceased''&lt;br /&gt;
::* Older Brother: Vailyx the Swifttail, ''missing in action''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Foster Father: Faust Jabari, A hyuran fisherman and resident of Vesper Bay. He was fishing off the coast of Crescent Cove when he noticed a small boy clinging to a large piece of driftwood in the sea. He became Caen's foster father, and attempted to teach Caen the ways of the world the boy had forgotten about.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Cousin: '''[[Tiergan Vashir]]''', One of Caen's only living blood-relatives. Since he learned that Caen is his long-lost cousin, Teigan is fiercely protective of the lad, trying to be the brother Vailyx would have been to Caen. Caen loves his cousin dearly, and often tries to act out to make the older miqo'te proud of him. Caen, unbeknownst to Tiergan, would often stalk his cousin in order to study him and adopt his mannerisms. Still, much of Tiergan's past is a mystery to Caen, as the boy is unsure whether it is inappropriate to ask. Even still, friends often mistake Tiergan and Caen for brothers, and the two would go along with it, as Caen feels that Tiergan is a great older brother, in Vailyx's absence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Cousin: '''[[Lurial Vashir]]''', One of Caen's only living blood-relatives. Luri was able to track down the youngest son of her aunt V'ira to the streets of Ul'dah. When she connected the dots, she came to Caen and revealed the truth to him. While Caen hides inner worry of being apart of a family again, he cannot help but feel at home again, in a place where he belongs. Until her recent disappearance, Caen had stayed in her home in the city of Ul'dah... now Caen searches for his cousin hoping to reunite them again as she once did for him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Bodyguard: '''[[Furious Storm]]''', The bodyguard of Lurial Vashir, Caen and &amp;quot;Fury&amp;quot; instantly became best friends when Caen decided to break the shyness between them by bringing the roegadyn a warm apple tart after his first night at Lurial's home. Now the two are basically inseparable, and Caen never forgets to bring the large mute treats from around Thanalan. While he did vanish around the same time as Lurial, he still sends him treats and candy via moogle post, as they can apparently track the roegadyn better than Caen could.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Friends===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caen has had the fortune of meeting all kinds of souls by hanging near ''The Quicksand'' after leaving Vesper Bay when Faust journeyed to Mor Dhona to find his wife, Maria. Some have touched his lives more than others and even after quitting his job serving patrons for Momodi, he still eats most of his meals there and hangs around for a good while after. Being the jewel of the sand, Ul'dah is frequented by many and Caen makes a good attempt to meet them all, offering strangers a friendly flap of his ears and a story exchange to boot.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
((friend's list coming soon T-T))&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Chocobos===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen has always had a great affinity for befriending chocobos. He often wished to become a chocobo porter or breeder when he was younger. Some will find he actually talks to them. In moments of stress, the lad will often wander near chocobos and pet/talk to them. Since the birds seem to enjoy his company, many nearby porters or breeders don't mind his presence. It's not entirely sure if Caen wears yellow to display his love for chocobos or for the sun, since he favors both. Yet when asked, he will mention that he might favor chocobos more because you can't hug the sun. He dreams of having a chocobo of his own someday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Enemies===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caen doesn't have any real enemies that he knows of. He has lived an honest life and cannot hold a grudge to save it. Even when disrespected or belittled by an individual, he is quick to forgive all after sleeping it off, and greets them the next day, cheerful as ever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:PeekingCaen.jpg|center|PeekingCaen.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
===Common Rumors===&lt;br /&gt;

::* ''&amp;quot;What sort of fool wears such bright yellow? If I wore such on the frontlines, archers would have me dead in seconds. If you ask me, he's just asking for death.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;Such a cutie... but what sort of name is Caen for a miqo'te? Doesn't he respect his own kind?&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moderate Rumors===&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;Shhh, don't stare... that's the boy who was kidnapped. The one by that ruffian Cade... the poor dear must've been so frightened.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot; Hah! Y'know Momodi won't let him drink? Says he's too young fer such things... but I saw him get a good boxin' 'round the ears last time he was sniffin' 'round it! Haw Haw Haw!&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;That little shite ate all my fish! Orphans... hate their scum!&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Rare Rumors===&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot; I heard him sing once, yes. It was so beautiful... but so sad. You could almost feel as if there was some pain in his heart... his very soul.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot; Didn't y'know? 'ee can't remember a lick o' who he was b'fore the moon fell them years ago. Poor bloke. Must be lonely, havin' no-one to hold yeh.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;Calls himself the 'errand-tail' of the Sultana... he's the one Raubahn trusts with those letters. Sometimes I wonder what's in them, but it seems he doesn't know himself. Best not to dwell on such things.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;They were carrying the little lad in from the Shroud. You should have heard his breathing; I was so afraid for him. A monster? No... they say it was one of those Warriors. Are even our children unsafe?&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;

::* ''&amp;quot;Caen?  That's my younger cousin - honest, brave, and constantly getting into trouble.

==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;font-size:40px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;The Story&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:CaenByEdge.jpg|right|CaenByEdge.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
===The Legacy of C'aseen the Poet===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen's father, known as C'aseen the Poet by his brothers in arms, was a monk in the ranks of the Fists of Rhalgr. At a young age, he abandoned his tribe along with his best friend F'une to study the ways of balance and the fist, and later came to unlock his hidden chakra. Although he claimed to be a pacifist, C'aseen yearned for unmatched power so that he could defend his way of life unopposed, whereas F'une was more aggressive, and fully embraced the way of The Destroyer. C'aseen would make a habit of sharing his small wealth with the less fortunate of Ala Mhigo, and aiding in small jobs among the lower class, behind F'une's back. He would thatch holes in roofs, gather game, and pull caravans himself. He was also known by his spouts of poetry that he would preach about the world and life. It was then, he met a woman named V'ira Tarja and fell madly in love with her. Traditions of his kind be damned, he would spend nights singing ballads to her... not knowing she was fighting feelings for him. Eventually they would come together and sire a white-haired boy who V'ira named Vailyx.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Vailyx, the Swifttail of Ala Mhigo===&lt;br /&gt;
Vailyx grew into a wild-cat like his mother, yet bore the confidence of his father. Fond of all manner of mischief, he grew up alongside his best friend and cousin Tiergan Vashir. Along with Tiergan's sister Lurial, the trio would cast bouts of chaos among the lower levels of Ala Mhigo. Dodoes would suddenly find their pens opened and run through the streets, food from merchant stalls would go missing, and there was even one incident when the three road atop a chocobo taken back from a corrupt tax collector for their neighbor, who was struggling to make ends meet. Vailyx was always there to save his friends from peril, coming out with a bloody nose and a few other bruises; his trade-mark fanged smirk not wavering. He named himself the ''Swifttail'' of Ala Mhigo, claiming it was a title bestowed by the Twelve for his cunning and speed, but in truth, he merely thought it sounded cool and intimidating. At one point, he even dyed his long, white hair into a bright red colour, so that he would look like a fiery comet as he rushed through the streets and rooftops. Their childhood was happy... but it was not to last.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Escape from Ala Mhigo===&lt;br /&gt;
Vailyx was eight years old when the Empire lay waste to Ala Mhigo in their campaign to take over Eorzea. F'une attempted to sneak C'aseen and his family onto a refugee caravan, fleeing the city amongst the chaos. This act cost F'une his life, but ensured his comrade's safety. V'ira's family lost or missing, C'aseen thought it would be best to take his family far from Ala Mhigo and start over, eventually booking them a passage to Limsa Lominsa, the entire journey from Ala Mhigo to Limsa taking two years. It would be there that V'ira bore another child, a small blue-haired boy with amber eyes named Caen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Caen, The Amber Dawn===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen's childhood in Limsa Lominsa was a rather happy one. C'aseen sought to join the ranks of the Maelstrom, the Grand Company of Limsa, and Vailyx sought to become a warrior like his father. This left Caen alone most of the time, when he was able to wander off without V'ira. Caen was the representation of a new and happy life for the four, and a hope for the future. As Caen grew older, he adopted a mixture of his family traits. While his mischief wasn't as grand as Vailyx's schemes back in Ala Mhigo, they often led to street brawls with the local bullies who beat Caen, as he was a miqo'te with the hyuran name. During the brawls, many of the &amp;quot;bullies&amp;quot; came to like the boy, as the miqo'te never fought as if he was fighting for his life and instead fighting for the fun of it. It became clear that it was difficult to become enemies with the boy, and most of his hyran adversaries turned into good friends or friendly rivals. When he wasn't tussling in the lower decks, Caen would climb to the higher towers of Limsa, looking out at the sea to watch his father fish, and see ships come in to port. He came to know almost everyone, as he was quite nosey, and always was willing to lend a helping hand to a downtrodden stranger. V'ira would teach the young kitten to sing, to aid him in his quest to make all strangers happy, but not without warning the boy of the dangers of the world.&lt;br /&gt;
By the time Caen grew to his ninth year, he was already a thorn in his older brother's side. Constantly trying to show Vailyx up was a favorite pastime of his, while Vailyx had grown cold by comparison, still mourning the deaths of his two best friends Tiergan and Lurial. He was well on his way to becoming worthy enough to study in the ways of a Dragoon, which Caen would lovingly attempt to mimic. By Caen's tenth year, Vailyx has sought to forgive himself for not being able to save Tiergan and Lurial, seeing much of his younger self in Caen, who would bring light and joy to his terrible sorrow and cast it aside. For the first time, Caen was able to break through his older brother's cold exterior, and the brothers would bond happily for the next year. Another year passed... and with it, the Grand Companies of Eorzea prepared to meet Nael Van Darnus's VIIth Legion on the fields of Carteneau.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Cruelty of Fate===&lt;br /&gt;
C'aseen and Vailyx had made up their minds to fight alongside the Maelstrom forces at Carteneau. Yet, as Dalamud had lowered closer to Eorzea, Vailyx feared that the battle would not be won, and urged V'ira to take Caen on a ship and flee the continent. Caen took this terribly, and took up his practice lance, trying to fight Vailyx to let him go with them. Vailyx, out of options, slashed the practice lance in half and cut his brother across the cheek in an attempt to make his brother hate him, so that he wouldn't want to join them at Carteneau. Caen, now sporting a nasty cross-shaped wound, flung himself at his brother, understanding his fears and embracing him one last time. Vailyx would hand his mother letters to Caen, and, embracing them one last time, rushed off to join C'aseen at the battle. Caen and V'ira were able to get passage to a ship heading for another continent with other refugees, yet as Dalamud drew ever closer, the captain of their ship, Kruz Rosgaldornyn, revealed his ugly plot to turn the ship towards Ul'dah, and sell everyone aboard as slaves into the Ul'dahn underground black market. Kruz would attempt to seize V'ira and have his way with the miqo'te woman before they arrived, but Caen begged and pleaded him to release her, offering his own life in exchange. A twisted being, Kruz agreed, and took the young lad to his quarters, where he tortured the boy for making him look weak in front of his crew. As the beating grew worse, Caen could not take it anymore and bit the man's ear off. Enraged, Kruz tied the boy down and prepared to cut Caen's tail off. Before the blow was struck, V'ira burst down the door, stunning Kruz with a glass bottle to the face and released Caen. As they rushed to a lifeboat, the waves grew restless and aggressive, and the skies turned violent. Flares rained down from the sky, flinging themselves into the deep ocean. Amidst the chaos, V'ira removed her violet earrings and wrapped them around Vailyx's letters, tucking them into Caen's jacket. She embraced her son for the last time, and the ship was hit by one of Bahamut's flares. Caen was thrust into the air along with debris from the ship, the bodies of refugees, and V'ira. He reached for her, in an attempt to fly towards her again, and screamed her name, just as she was engulfed by flames. Caen hit the water with a terrible force... and fell into the abyss of his mind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Awakening to Null===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen awoke to a warm bed, in the small home of Faust Jabari, a fisherman in Vesper Bay. He had been asleep for nearly a week. When Faust asked the boy his name, the boy could not recall. In fact he knew not who he was, nor where he was... nor why Faust had no tail when the lad had one. Faust attempted to look through the letters Caen had washed ashore with, yet they were almost too water-logged to read. All he could make out is they were addressed to &amp;quot;Caen&amp;quot;... from someone named Vailyx. Taking a shot in the dark, Faust would return Caen's name to him, and gift the lost miqo'te with that of his own surname, &amp;quot;Jabari&amp;quot; until his memories returned. Caen was timid and shy around the other kids in Vesper, while many of them were around their eleventh year, as he was, he felt terrified to be around people. His days were spent trying to piece together who he was, and his nightmares were plagued by a vision of his chasing a red-haired knight with a lance into a blinding horizon, yet he could never catch them. It wasn't until Faust took Caen along with him to trade his wares at Ul'dah, did remnants of himself return.&lt;br /&gt;
Faust briefly left Caen with Momodi of ''The Quicksand'' while he went to trade his wares at market. It was then that Caen witnessed the sorrow of a beautiful lady named Sarisa Clementine. A band of adventurers, her comrades tried anything they could to get her to find hope that her lover had survived the Battle Of Carteneau, but she would turn them away. Caen was overcome with a need to make her smile, and approached her, initiating conversation. Sarisa was so shocked that a mysterious boy would just walk up and chat with her, that she obliged. The two would meet at ''The Quicksand'' and talk often, about Caen's missing memories, and of Sarisa and her love for her fiancee, Lieru. And one day, Caen sang to her... a ballad conjured from the depths of his mind... and for the first time in a long time, she smiled. It was then that Caen decided, it was smiles like hers he wanted to one day protect. And he would be the light in the darkness for those who had lost their own. He dreamt of a world without sorrow, without war or bloodshed, and became determined to become strong enough to herald the arrival of such a world.&lt;br /&gt;
==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;font-size:40px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;After Meteor&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:RainyCaen.jpg|left|RainyCaen.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
===Five Years Later... (2.0)===&lt;br /&gt;
After convincing Faust to journey to Mor Dhona and find his wife Maria, Caen had sang in the streets of Ul'dah for gil, while also finding an opportunity to become a messenger bearing secret letters for groups that would not like to see them taken from moogles. It was Naih'ir Molkot and Momodi of ''The Quicksand'' that would offer Caen a real job, washing dishes and serving the patrons of the inn. During this time, Caen would also find habit of &amp;quot;perching&amp;quot; atop the rails of the room, conversing with strangers and getting them to detail their adventures outside the desert, having no memory of the world beyond. Caen still yearns for a place to call home once again, and prays that the Twelve might offer a hint as to why his memory was taken from him. Still, he wields a confident smirk and a bright yellow attire, in a hope to be a light for everyone and make them smile...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Brave New Realm (2.1)===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen could say his life changed when he met a group of adventurers in the Quicksand. The first man was a Dragoon named Artorias Mason. At first the Huyr was a marvel to behold, capable of endless feats and even more knowledge. He had had everything... and lost it all to the Empire. He was an inspiration... yet darkness existed in the mans heart having lost all he held dear. He denied the Gods existence and placed Caen's undying faith to the Twelve among the ranks of the pathetic; an event that shook the boy to his core and giving him doubt for the first time.  During a trip out to Crescent Cove, Caen and Artorias run in with Garrett Slater, a free-paladin in training. Caen shows them both a crashed Garlean vessel, rusted and long-dead, when they are attacked by a giant yarzon. After defeating the vilekin, Garrett and Artorias meet in private when Caen is suddenly caught in a Garlean ambush. In a narrow victory, the group is able to flee towards Ul'dah to return Caen to the Quicksand. The following day, Caen was approached by a woman named Kelvena, who searches for her father Ikus and his mercenary company Lost Rogues. When she finds out that Caen has never been outside Ul'dah, she, Artorias, and Garrett decide to take the boy to Limsa Lominsa. There, it is revealed that Artorias plans to kill himself after fighting the primals and defeating Gaius von Baelsar. Although Caen pleads with him, Artorias' mind is made up and he eventually leaves. It is then that Kelvena and Garrett take Caen to Gridania... where Caen visits the Lancer's Guild and finds the Last Letter of the Swifttail. These last written words of his older brother, Vailyx ensure that Caen really is Caen, and that he should continue to live his own life as his father and mother had wanted. Still wishing he could remember his family, Caen tries to find solace among his new friends. Artorias senses the boy's strife and bids Kelvena look after Caen like an older sister.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Shards of the Forsaken (2.2)===&lt;br /&gt;
One night, Caen began hearing voices in his head, including images and emotions felt by people he didn't know. This led him to run off into the Gold Court unable to control his own pain. Garrett, Kelvena, and Artorias would try to help Caen... only to be approached by two enigmatic miqo'te. Tiergan Vashir and An'nai came to find Caen, but after Artorias threatened Tiergan, the miqo'te let slip that Caen may, in fact have a shard within him, allowing him to tap into latent power and talk with others over long distances. It was only after Caen got his control over his emotions that Brynhilde Wulf appeared before the lad. After inspecting the boy, she made it clear to everyone that he was not one of the shard bearers... but in his mind, Caen could hear her saying something different. He was a shard-bearer... and a rune slowly affixed itself above Caen's heart.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sand and Snow (2.3/2.4)===&lt;br /&gt;
It was the day when Caen was waiting to be deployed with a handful of other new Flame cadets to the Sagolii desert. The information broker, Lurial Vashir found Caen first and told him the truth. His family was still alive, and his older cousins had survived the moonfall five years ago. Shocked, the miqo'te boy grew quickly attached to both Lurial and Tiergan.&lt;br /&gt;
Caen's Flame deployment also ended quickly, as sand worms attacked the site of the training grounds. With the telepathic assistance from afar through the link, Caen was able to drag the soldier caravan and a few survivors back to Ul'dah. Caen was granted a scout position, which was limited to parcel and supply delivery, if only for the boy's speed and diligence.&lt;br /&gt;
The dark hood of the Entudenin reared its head and began to attack shard-bearers, Caen included. At one point, Caen was pushed off of the high walls of Coerthas by a dark agent of the Entudenin. The boy was paralyzed from the waist down and after three days, was found by Tiergan, who had to fight past two agents to rescue his cousin. Caen was taken to the Shroud for extensive healing and afterwards, found himself hiding from the shard-bearer headquarters, afraid of being attacked by another of the dark hoods.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Taken (2.55)===&lt;br /&gt;
As the moon cycled around the world over and over, Caen took up his old errand-tail ways by delivering letters for different people in Ul'dah, and occasionally the other nations of Eorzea. However, due to the sensitive information he unwittingly carried, he was made a target by the Syndicate agents after he was seen handing over letters addressed to the Sultana. On the night where the Eorzean Alliance were greeting the ambassadors from Ishgard, fighting began to break out in the city. Caen was chased by a few of the brass blades through the Gold Court, and nearly made it to the Royal Promenade, where he was knocked out by an ambush. Caen was imprisoned, and then sold into a slave ring with the rest of the prisoners that sat in the Ul'dahn cells. &lt;br /&gt;
==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;font-size:40px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Heavensward&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:CaenBard.jpg|left|CaenBard.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
=== These Eyes of Mine (3.1)===&lt;br /&gt;
It was soon discovered that Caen had been sold to an illegal gladiator ring where slaves were matched against each other for fictional lands and titles in a game played by the nobility of Ul'dah. The boy was forced to surrender his self-made vows to never take a life, as some fights in the ring were kill or be killed. His only possessions were a wicked pair of twin daggers that he was taught to use by another fellow slave named Yae. After numerous attempts to escape and push letters from windows, Lurial Vashir and a number of brave souls, including her brother Tiergan, were able to locate Caen and organized an assault on the ringleader's mansion. Only known as her moniker, &amp;quot;The Woman&amp;quot;, Caen's master threw all of her slaves and guards at the band of rescuers and even drugged Caen and set him upon his former friends. Caen was rendered unconscious during the fight and taken to the Forgotten Springs for healing and rest. After waking up, Caen felt terrified to meet his cousins and friends again. He perceived his soul and eyes to be stained with the lives he was forced to take during his time as a gladiator. For the time being, he subtly struggles to continue wearing the mask of unbridled happiness just as he did before. The lad now carries a pain in his heart and wonders if he even deserves to live after betraying his promise to never stain his hands with blood. In spite of his inner turmoil, he made preparations to become an adventurer himself and sought employment in Ishgard, recently united with the Eorzean Alliance. Employed as a supply runner for Betelgeuse Bordeaux's Button Shoppe, Caen finds himself working early mornings; running across the realm to spread elaborate buttons to the rest of Eorzea's markets and weaver guilds. The lad spends alot of time in the Quicksand, stashing away his earned gil to fund an expedition to the mysteries of the northern lands where the lost boy hopes to find himself again.&lt;br /&gt;
=== Menphina's Blessing (3.2)===&lt;br /&gt;
Shortly after Bordeaux's business really took off, Caen stepped away from the company to focus more on himself. He was plagued by nightmares of the blood he had been forced to spill on the gladiator ring and it seemed that the blood would never wash off. It was around this time, after returning to Ul'dah, he befriended a keeper of the moon named Kiht'a Zajhiri. He and Kiht'a both shared age and a similar pattern in their pasts. After a few meetings, the friendship developed into a young romance. Although Khit'a had expressed his desire to be open with their relationship, even Caen could not deny how fascinated he was with the keeper and spent as much time with Kiht'a as he could. The two did nearly everything together and shared a room in the Goblet for a time. Caen subconsciously felt at home and loved for the first time, feeling his hidden sadness and loneliness drift away. He developed confidence as a mate and wished to become a stronger person for Kiht'a, who was skilled as a hunter. The seeker took it upon himself to practice archery and set his blood-stained daggers aside. He departed for the Shroud for pets to bring back to his partner as a surprise, but could not have foreseen the adventure he would become tangled up in.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Ballad of the Scarlet Devil (3.3)===&lt;br /&gt;
Deep amidst the Shroud, Caen stalked creatures of the forest, tapping into his hunting instinct as a seeker miqo'te. After a few pelts had been gathered and meat taken, the miqo'te found himself upon a lone lalafel who was strumming a lyre in the most hauntingly beautiful fashion. The notes echoed in Caen's heart and soul and seemed to vibrate every branch in their vicinity. A mist descended around them, and from the small being's lyre, came aetherial light. Without warning, a band of men cloaked in red rushed towards the lalafel. Caen shouted for the lalafel, who stopped playing and readied a bow for battle while Caen fired shots from his own bow from the bushes. The men dead, the enigmatic lalafel introduced himself as Rojiko Tojiko, claiming he was sent from Dravania to stop a ritual that would summon a voidsent lord. He also claimed that his melody lulled disturbed souls back to sleep, for if all of them were to awaken, a terrible darkness would be wrought across the realm. The men in red traveled to several areas of the Shroud corrupting aether, causing discord with the Elementals, and upon chanting an ancient ballad, they hoped to summon Forenzikon the Purge, who would bathe the lands in an azure light, dispelling the Elemental balance forever. Caen did not hesitate to join Rojiko and the two set off to purify the Shroud. Caen explained how he had felt when Rojiko played his melody and the lalafel took notice of Caen's gift for song as they walked together. Before they slept, Rojiko showed the miqo'te how to play the lute, but commented on how Caen could never hope to play with such power without a soulstone. Even still, Caen was happy to learn Rojiko's many tools of the trade: Trick arrows, poison arrowheads, along with a few songs to play, should Caen ever obtain a lute of his own. Between fending off the red-cloaked men, Rojiko putting disturbed spirits to rest with song, and campfire tales, Caen hardly noticed weeks go by. In was before the final spirit could be laid to rest that the two were ambushed by Coeurlclaw bandits. Outnumbered, Caen and Rojiko were captured and the lalafel was gravely wounded. They begged to be freed as to prevent the voidsent from being awoken and Rojiko, out of desperation, finally persuaded the leader of the band to be able to entertain them all with a song. With a strange magic, the small bard lulled them all to sleep. He and Caen escaped, making great haste to the final resting place. Caen made use of every trick he had been taught, covering Rojiko to his last arrow as the lalafel played his final song. The trees shook as the spirit of the voidsent vanished and upon strumming his last string, Rojiko dropped to his knees. After dressing each others wounds and enjoying their victroy, Rojiko asked Caen to travel back to Dravania with him. Caen agreed, still unbelieving that they had beaten back such a force. The journey was oddly peaceful and upon arriving to the Hinterlands, Rojiko bid Caen goodbye, simply saying where he was going, the miqo'te couldn't follow. He passed his lyre to the lad, making the seeker promise to remember the importance of song and how even something so simple as a melody could take back the night.&lt;br /&gt;

==Character Connections==&lt;br /&gt;
There are an abundance of souls who may have crossed paths with Caen as they live in Eorzea~&lt;br /&gt;
::* Anyone who has lived in Ul'Dah for the last 2-3 years would've seen him working at ''The Quicksand.''&lt;br /&gt;
::* He's also a well-known messenger, running parcels across Thanalan for the past 3 years. It's possible you enlisted his services.&lt;br /&gt;

::* He may have bugged you about your adventures or asked you if you were alright if you wandered into ''The Quicksand'' looking broody.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Although rare, it is also possible you heard him singing in the streets of Ul'dah. His favorite spots were The Gold Court, near the Thaumaturge's Guild, and the Hustling Strip.&lt;br /&gt;

==Trivia &amp;amp; Misc==&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen will sometimes make subtle references to Final Fantasy IX.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen's songs are Final Fantasy songs given lyrics by Katethegreat19 on Youtube. He will often recall that a mysterious bard taught him these songs. All other songs or ballads are original pieces.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen is unofficially voiced by Antony Del Rio.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen will often be played with techno/dance/hip hop music in the background and his soundtrack depicts songs of this genre. Examples include artists like Imagine Dragons, Eiffel 65, and the soundtrack from the Persona series of games, just to name a few. This is a reference to Vysce's favorite music as a child.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen's desire to &amp;quot;protect everyone's smiles&amp;quot; is a reference to the Kamen Rider series, particularly Kamen Rider OOO.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen's patron deity Azeyma is close to the word Asthma, which Caen's player was temporarily sick with while creating Caen.&lt;br /&gt;
::* All of Caen's family have lighter-colored hair, with him and his father having the only dark hair amongst their relatives.

::* Sarisa and Lieru are from a love-story, rped by Caen's player in ''Guild Wars 2''. Lieru is also the first character he ever created.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen's yellow eyes are a tip of the hat to his player's time rping in ''Star Wars: The Old Republic'' where he wielded a yellow lightsaber.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;''&amp;quot;Believe in me, for my resolve does not waver, nor can it be fractured.&amp;quot; ~Vailyx the Swifttail''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Caen Jabari''' is a young miqo'te who was found washed ashore in Vesper Bay on the day of the Great Calamity. Caen remembered nothing of his first eleven years, and woke up to a world he did not remember living in. All he had on him, besides the tattered rags that covered his body, were water-logged letters addressed to &amp;quot;Caen&amp;quot; from an older brother &amp;quot;Vailyx&amp;quot; and held together by a pair of violet earrings. Thankfully, the kinder fisherman, Faust Jabari was able to find the young miqo'te and semi-raised the boy to be able to live on his own. After five years, not only has Eorzea changed, but so has the young seeker of the sun.&lt;br /&gt;

===Appearance===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;You may be Ul'dah's desert canary, but you bear the heart of the phoenix, Caen.  You can always reignite and fly again.&amp;quot;'' ~Tiergan Vashir&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caen sports a wide-eyed, youthful face with bronzed skin due to living under the desert sun for years. Although he's lived in Ul'dah in the summers he remembers, Caen sports a slight Lominsan accent due to being raised in the city beside the Rhotano. His eyes are a bright amber and his large canines tend to show when he grins with his teeth. The lad also sports a shaggy mane of royal blue hair that would attempt to curl inwards over his face, yet it is mostly kept covered by a light head-wrapping. On his left cheek, he bears a X-shaped scar. Caen is best well known by his choice of attire; his bright yellow-coloured garb, to show off his love for the sunlight. His favorite articles of clothing usually include loose sarouel and leather boots or crakows. He prefers loose, billowy shirts in lieu of proper button-downs and is prone to sleeve-less vests and sometimes revealing chest pieces.                                                                 &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
===Personality===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:CaenJabari.jpg|left|CaenJabari.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
Caen is wild and carefree making him a perfect candidate for odd jobs through-out Thanalan and Ul'dah herself. A friend to everyone, the boy is cheerful and will rarely hesitate to chat up a stranger. His favorite pastime is residing within ''The Quicksand'' to watch the comings and goings of adventurers, occasionally prodding them for tales of their adventures outside the desert. This inspired him to finally leave Ul'dah to experience adventures of his own. Prone to mischief and hardly watching where he steps, Caen often finds himself in troublesome situations and relies on his quick-thinking and unorthodox methods of survival. The miqo'te is always in high-spirits and is at his best around friends, to whom he is very loyal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;font-size:40px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Martial Arts&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
===Fighting Style===&lt;br /&gt;
::*Caen is naturally gifted with hand-to-hand combat, but is clumsy as a toddler when it comes to a sword. During his childhood in Limsa Lominsa, he was often made fun of for his Hyuran name, which led to many street brawls with the local bullies. He taught himself how to punch, kick, and dodge out of attacks when overwhelmed, becoming effective at fighting many targets at once.&lt;br /&gt;
::*When his brother Vailyx began to take up the art of the Lance, Caen naturally went out and carved his own pole-arm out of a fallen tree branch to teach himself to do that as well, desiring skills better than his perfect brother. Vailyx was never to busy to show Caen up and belittle the boy on his flawed techniques, yet managed to teach him proper form over the course of three years. By berating his younger brother on what not to do, he effectively taught him how to use the lance as an extension of his arm. And although Caen was never old enough to leave Limsa and study the lance abroad, Vailyx was secretly proud of Caen.&lt;br /&gt;
::*Caen continued to pave his way through the Thanalan with his fists after he had awoken from losing his memory. After saving his foster-father, Faust, from a yarzon swarm a month after awakening, he took Caen  to the Pugilist's Guild within Ul'dah, where the boy would hone his skills. While mostly his training pertained of running errands for the Holyfist, Hamon, Caen did occasionally teach himself a less-clumsy fighting style after watching the students spar.&lt;br /&gt;
::*Caen often speaks of how beautiful and interesting he believes swords to be, but he cannot properly wield one on his own. When he does, he finds the blade &amp;quot;rejecting&amp;quot; him. Still he finds them incredibly intriguing.&lt;br /&gt;
::*Recently, the yellow-clad miqo'te has shown an impressive form using twin daggers. His agility from his training under Hamon and acrobatic nature have benefitted him greatly in close-quarters combat.&lt;br /&gt;

===Aliases/Nicknames===&lt;br /&gt;
::* '''Canary''': After many attempts to get the lonely adventurer Sarisa Clementine to smile, Caen finally succeeded after singing a ballad to her one morning. She smiled for the first time in two years, since Carteneau, and called him her Canary. It has become a rare nickname for Caen, as few know of it, yet he will cherish it forever. It was also a name called to him by his mother, V'ira, when she taught him to sing as a child.&lt;br /&gt;
::* '''Chocobo''': Called this by his close friends, Caen is often compared to the yellow flightless bird of Eorzea, due to his bright yellow choice of clothing.&lt;br /&gt;
::* '''Blue Wolf''': Only the residents of Vesper Bay would call Caen by such. Once when he was skinny-dipping in the Bay, a group of bullies thought it would be funny to steal his clothes. Stark-naked, Caen stealthily tried to make it back to Faust's house to no avail, as the streets were rather crowded. He soon came across a pail of blue paint, and, seeing it as his only option, dumped it all over himself. He would then dart through the streets, on all fours, to Faust's home, terrifying the citizenry who lay sight to the &amp;quot;Blue Wolf Monster&amp;quot;. After Faust explained the truth to everyone to avoid panic, it became a running gag within the small town's residents.&lt;br /&gt;

===Family===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Father: C'aseen the Poet, ''deceased''&lt;br /&gt;
::* Mother: V'ira Tarja, ''deceased''&lt;br /&gt;
::* Older Brother: Vailyx the Swifttail, ''missing in action''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Foster Father: Faust Jabari, A hyuran fisherman and resident of Vesper Bay. He was fishing off the coast of Crescent Cove when he noticed a small boy clinging to a large piece of driftwood in the sea. He became Caen's foster father, and attempted to teach Caen the ways of the world the boy had forgotten about.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Cousin: '''[[Tiergan Vashir]]''', One of Caen's only living blood-relatives. Since he learned that Caen is his long-lost cousin, Teigan is fiercely protective of the lad, trying to be the brother Vailyx would have been to Caen. Caen loves his cousin dearly, and often tries to act out to make the older miqo'te proud of him. Caen, unbeknownst to Tiergan, would often stalk his cousin in order to study him and adopt his mannerisms. Still, much of Tiergan's past is a mystery to Caen, as the boy is unsure whether it is inappropriate to ask. Even still, friends often mistake Tiergan and Caen for brothers, and the two would go along with it, as Caen feels that Tiergan is a great older brother, in Vailyx's absence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Cousin: '''[[Lurial Vashir]]''', One of Caen's only living blood-relatives. Luri was able to track down the youngest son of her aunt V'ira to the streets of Ul'dah. When she connected the dots, she came to Caen and revealed the truth to him. While Caen hides inner worry of being apart of a family again, he cannot help but feel at home again, in a place where he belongs. Until her recent disappearance, Caen had stayed in her home in the city of Ul'dah... now Caen searches for his cousin hoping to reunite them again as she once did for him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Bodyguard: '''[[Furious Storm]]''', The bodyguard of Lurial Vashir, Caen and &amp;quot;Fury&amp;quot; instantly became best friends when Caen decided to break the shyness between them by bringing the roegadyn a warm apple tart after his first night at Lurial's home. Now the two are basically inseparable, and Caen never forgets to bring the large mute treats from around Thanalan. While he did vanish around the same time as Lurial, he still sends him treats and candy via moogle post, as they can apparently track the roegadyn better than Caen could.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Friends===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caen has had the fortune of meeting all kinds of souls by hanging near ''The Quicksand'' after leaving Vesper Bay when Faust journeyed to Mor Dhona to find his wife, Maria. Some have touched his lives more than others and even after quitting his job serving patrons for Momodi, he still eats most of his meals there and hangs around for a good while after. Being the jewel of the sand, Ul'dah is frequented by many and Caen makes a good attempt to meet them all, offering strangers a friendly flap of his ears and a story exchange to boot.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
((friend's list coming soon T-T))&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Chocobos===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen has always had a great affinity for befriending chocobos. He often wished to become a chocobo porter or breeder when he was younger. Some will find he actually talks to them. In moments of stress, the lad will often wander near chocobos and pet/talk to them. Since the birds seem to enjoy his company, many nearby porters or breeders don't mind his presence. It's not entirely sure if Caen wears yellow to display his love for chocobos or for the sun, since he favors both. Yet when asked, he will mention that he might favor chocobos more because you can't hug the sun. He dreams of having a chocobo of his own someday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Enemies===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caen doesn't have any real enemies that he knows of. He has lived an honest life and cannot hold a grudge to save it. Even when disrespected or belittled by an individual, he is quick to forgive all after sleeping it off, and greets them the next day, cheerful as ever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;font-size:40px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;The Story&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:CaenByEdge.jpg|right|CaenByEdge.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
===The Legacy of C'aseen the Poet===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen's father, known as C'aseen the Poet by his brothers in arms, was a monk in the ranks of the Fists of Rhalgr. At a young age, he abandoned his tribe along with his best friend F'une to study the ways of balance and the fist, and later came to unlock his hidden chakra. Although he claimed to be a pacifist, C'aseen yearned for unmatched power so that he could defend his way of life unopposed, whereas F'une was more aggressive, and fully embraced the way of The Destroyer. C'aseen would make a habit of sharing his small wealth with the less fortunate of Ala Mhigo, and aiding in small jobs among the lower class, behind F'une's back. He would thatch holes in roofs, gather game, and pull caravans himself. He was also known by his spouts of poetry that he would preach about the world and life. It was then, he met a woman named V'ira Tarja and fell madly in love with her. Traditions of his kind be damned, he would spend nights singing ballads to her... not knowing she was fighting feelings for him. Eventually they would come together and sire a white-haired boy who V'ira named Vailyx.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Vailyx, the Swifttail of Ala Mhigo===&lt;br /&gt;
Vailyx grew into a wild-cat like his mother, yet bore the confidence of his father. Fond of all manner of mischief, he grew up alongside his best friend and cousin Tiergan Vashir. Along with Tiergan's sister Lurial, the trio would cast bouts of chaos among the lower levels of Ala Mhigo. Dodoes would suddenly find their pens opened and run through the streets, food from merchant stalls would go missing, and there was even one incident when the three road atop a chocobo taken back from a corrupt tax collector for their neighbor, who was struggling to make ends meet. Vailyx was always there to save his friends from peril, coming out with a bloody nose and a few other bruises; his trade-mark fanged smirk not wavering. He named himself the ''Swifttail'' of Ala Mhigo, claiming it was a title bestowed by the Twelve for his cunning and speed, but in truth, he merely thought it sounded cool and intimidating. At one point, he even dyed his long, white hair into a bright red colour, so that he would look like a fiery comet as he rushed through the streets and rooftops. Their childhood was happy... but it was not to last.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Escape from Ala Mhigo===&lt;br /&gt;
Vailyx was eight years old when the Empire lay waste to Ala Mhigo in their campaign to take over Eorzea. F'une attempted to sneak C'aseen and his family onto a refugee caravan, fleeing the city amongst the chaos. This act cost F'une his life, but ensured his comrade's safety. V'ira's family lost or missing, C'aseen thought it would be best to take his family far from Ala Mhigo and start over, eventually booking them a passage to Limsa Lominsa, the entire journey from Ala Mhigo to Limsa taking two years. It would be there that V'ira bore another child, a small blue-haired boy with amber eyes named Caen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Caen, The Amber Dawn===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen's childhood in Limsa Lominsa was a rather happy one. C'aseen sought to join the ranks of the Maelstrom, the Grand Company of Limsa, and Vailyx sought to become a warrior like his father. This left Caen alone most of the time, when he was able to wander off without V'ira. Caen was the representation of a new and happy life for the four, and a hope for the future. As Caen grew older, he adopted a mixture of his family traits. While his mischief wasn't as grand as Vailyx's schemes back in Ala Mhigo, they often led to street brawls with the local bullies who beat Caen, as he was a miqo'te with the hyuran name. During the brawls, many of the &amp;quot;bullies&amp;quot; came to like the boy, as the miqo'te never fought as if he was fighting for his life and instead fighting for the fun of it. It became clear that it was difficult to become enemies with the boy, and most of his hyran adversaries turned into good friends or friendly rivals. When he wasn't tussling in the lower decks, Caen would climb to the higher towers of Limsa, looking out at the sea to watch his father fish, and see ships come in to port. He came to know almost everyone, as he was quite nosey, and always was willing to lend a helping hand to a downtrodden stranger. V'ira would teach the young kitten to sing, to aid him in his quest to make all strangers happy, but not without warning the boy of the dangers of the world.&lt;br /&gt;
By the time Caen grew to his ninth year, he was already a thorn in his older brother's side. Constantly trying to show Vailyx up was a favorite pastime of his, while Vailyx had grown cold by comparison, still mourning the deaths of his two best friends Tiergan and Lurial. He was well on his way to becoming worthy enough to study in the ways of a Dragoon, which Caen would lovingly attempt to mimic. By Caen's tenth year, Vailyx has sought to forgive himself for not being able to save Tiergan and Lurial, seeing much of his younger self in Caen, who would bring light and joy to his terrible sorrow and cast it aside. For the first time, Caen was able to break through his older brother's cold exterior, and the brothers would bond happily for the next year. Another year passed... and with it, the Grand Companies of Eorzea prepared to meet Nael Van Darnus's VIIth Legion on the fields of Carteneau.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Cruelty of Fate===&lt;br /&gt;
C'aseen and Vailyx had made up their minds to fight alongside the Maelstrom forces at Carteneau. Yet, as Dalamud had lowered closer to Eorzea, Vailyx feared that the battle would not be won, and urged V'ira to take Caen on a ship and flee the continent. Caen took this terribly, and took up his practice lance, trying to fight Vailyx to let him go with them. Vailyx, out of options, slashed the practice lance in half and cut his brother across the cheek in an attempt to make his brother hate him, so that he wouldn't want to join them at Carteneau. Caen, now sporting a nasty cross-shaped wound, flung himself at his brother, understanding his fears and embracing him one last time. Vailyx would hand his mother letters to Caen, and, embracing them one last time, rushed off to join C'aseen at the battle. Caen and V'ira were able to get passage to a ship heading for another continent with other refugees, yet as Dalamud drew ever closer, the captain of their ship, Kruz Rosgaldornyn, revealed his ugly plot to turn the ship towards Ul'dah, and sell everyone aboard as slaves into the Ul'dahn underground black market. Kruz would attempt to seize V'ira and have his way with the miqo'te woman before they arrived, but Caen begged and pleaded him to release her, offering his own life in exchange. A twisted being, Kruz agreed, and took the young lad to his quarters, where he tortured the boy for making him look weak in front of his crew. As the beating grew worse, Caen could not take it anymore and bit the man's ear off. Enraged, Kruz tied the boy down and prepared to cut Caen's tail off. Before the blow was struck, V'ira burst down the door, stunning Kruz with a glass bottle to the face and released Caen. As they rushed to a lifeboat, the waves grew restless and aggressive, and the skies turned violent. Flares rained down from the sky, flinging themselves into the deep ocean. Amidst the chaos, V'ira removed her violet earrings and wrapped them around Vailyx's letters, tucking them into Caen's jacket. She embraced her son for the last time, and the ship was hit by one of Bahamut's flares. Caen was thrust into the air along with debris from the ship, the bodies of refugees, and V'ira. He reached for her, in an attempt to fly towards her again, and screamed her name, just as she was engulfed by flames. Caen hit the water with a terrible force... and fell into the abyss of his mind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Awakening to Null===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen awoke to a warm bed, in the small home of Faust Jabari, a fisherman in Vesper Bay. He had been asleep for nearly a week. When Faust asked the boy his name, the boy could not recall. In fact he knew not who he was, nor where he was... nor why Faust had no tail when the lad had one. Faust attempted to look through the letters Caen had washed ashore with, yet they were almost too water-logged to read. All he could make out is they were addressed to &amp;quot;Caen&amp;quot;... from someone named Vailyx. Taking a shot in the dark, Faust would return Caen's name to him, and gift the lost miqo'te with that of his own surname, &amp;quot;Jabari&amp;quot; until his memories returned. Caen was timid and shy around the other kids in Vesper, while many of them were around their eleventh year, as he was, he felt terrified to be around people. His days were spent trying to piece together who he was, and his nightmares were plagued by a vision of his chasing a red-haired knight with a lance into a blinding horizon, yet he could never catch them. It wasn't until Faust took Caen along with him to trade his wares at Ul'dah, did remnants of himself return.&lt;br /&gt;
Faust briefly left Caen with Momodi of ''The Quicksand'' while he went to trade his wares at market. It was then that Caen witnessed the sorrow of a beautiful lady named Sarisa Clementine. A band of adventurers, her comrades tried anything they could to get her to find hope that her lover had survived the Battle Of Carteneau, but she would turn them away. Caen was overcome with a need to make her smile, and approached her, initiating conversation. Sarisa was so shocked that a mysterious boy would just walk up and chat with her, that she obliged. The two would meet at ''The Quicksand'' and talk often, about Caen's missing memories, and of Sarisa and her love for her fiancee, Lieru. And one day, Caen sang to her... a ballad conjured from the depths of his mind... and for the first time in a long time, she smiled. It was then that Caen decided, it was smiles like hers he wanted to one day protect. And he would be the light in the darkness for those who had lost their own. He dreamt of a world without sorrow, without war or bloodshed, and became determined to become strong enough to herald the arrival of such a world.&lt;br /&gt;
==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;font-size:40px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;After Meteor&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:RainyCaen.jpg|left|RainyCaen.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
===Five Years Later... (2.0)===&lt;br /&gt;
After convincing Faust to journey to Mor Dhona and find his wife Maria, Caen had sang in the streets of Ul'dah for gil, while also finding an opportunity to become a messenger bearing secret letters for groups that would not like to see them taken from moogles. It was Naih'ir Molkot and Momodi of ''The Quicksand'' that would offer Caen a real job, washing dishes and serving the patrons of the inn. During this time, Caen would also find habit of &amp;quot;perching&amp;quot; atop the rails of the room, conversing with strangers and getting them to detail their adventures outside the desert, having no memory of the world beyond. Caen still yearns for a place to call home once again, and prays that the Twelve might offer a hint as to why his memory was taken from him. Still, he wields a confident smirk and a bright yellow attire, in a hope to be a light for everyone and make them smile...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Brave New Realm (2.1)===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen could say his life changed when he met a group of adventurers in the Quicksand. The first man was a Dragoon named Artorias Mason. At first the Huyr was a marvel to behold, capable of endless feats and even more knowledge. He had had everything... and lost it all to the Empire. He was an inspiration... yet darkness existed in the mans heart having lost all he held dear. He denied the Gods existence and placed Caen's undying faith to the Twelve among the ranks of the pathetic; an event that shook the boy to his core and giving him doubt for the first time.  During a trip out to Crescent Cove, Caen and Artorias run in with Garrett Slater, a free-paladin in training. Caen shows them both a crashed Garlean vessel, rusted and long-dead, when they are attacked by a giant yarzon. After defeating the vilekin, Garrett and Artorias meet in private when Caen is suddenly caught in a Garlean ambush. In a narrow victory, the group is able to flee towards Ul'dah to return Caen to the Quicksand. The following day, Caen was approached by a woman named Kelvena, who searches for her father Ikus and his mercenary company Lost Rogues. When she finds out that Caen has never been outside Ul'dah, she, Artorias, and Garrett decide to take the boy to Limsa Lominsa. There, it is revealed that Artorias plans to kill himself after fighting the primals and defeating Gaius von Baelsar. Although Caen pleads with him, Artorias' mind is made up and he eventually leaves. It is then that Kelvena and Garrett take Caen to Gridania... where Caen visits the Lancer's Guild and finds the Last Letter of the Swifttail. These last written words of his older brother, Vailyx ensure that Caen really is Caen, and that he should continue to live his own life as his father and mother had wanted. Still wishing he could remember his family, Caen tries to find solace among his new friends. Artorias senses the boy's strife and bids Kelvena look after Caen like an older sister.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Shards of the Forsaken (2.2)===&lt;br /&gt;
One night, Caen began hearing voices in his head, including images and emotions felt by people he didn't know. This led him to run off into the Gold Court unable to control his own pain. Garrett, Kelvena, and Artorias would try to help Caen... only to be approached by two enigmatic miqo'te. Tiergan Vashir and An'nai came to find Caen, but after Artorias threatened Tiergan, the miqo'te let slip that Caen may, in fact have a shard within him, allowing him to tap into latent power and talk with others over long distances. It was only after Caen got his control over his emotions that Brynhilde Wulf appeared before the lad. After inspecting the boy, she made it clear to everyone that he was not one of the shard bearers... but in his mind, Caen could hear her saying something different. He was a shard-bearer... and a rune slowly affixed itself above Caen's heart.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Sand and Snow (2.3/2.4)===&lt;br /&gt;
It was the day when Caen was waiting to be deployed with a handful of other new Flame cadets to the Sagolii desert. The information broker, Lurial Vashir found Caen first and told him the truth. His family was still alive, and his older cousins had survived the moonfall five years ago. Shocked, the miqo'te boy grew quickly attached to both Lurial and Tiergan.&lt;br /&gt;
Caen's Flame deployment also ended quickly, as sand worms attacked the site of the training grounds. With the telepathic assistance from afar through the link, Caen was able to drag the soldier caravan and a few survivors back to Ul'dah. Caen was granted a scout position, which was limited to parcel and supply delivery, if only for the boy's speed and diligence.&lt;br /&gt;
The dark hood of the Entudenin reared its head and began to attack shard-bearers, Caen included. At one point, Caen was pushed off of the high walls of Coerthas by a dark agent of the Entudenin. The boy was paralyzed from the waist down and after three days, was found by Tiergan, who had to fight past two agents to rescue his cousin. Caen was taken to the Shroud for extensive healing and afterwards, found himself hiding from the shard-bearer headquarters, afraid of being attacked by another of the dark hoods.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Taken (2.55)===&lt;br /&gt;
As the moon cycled around the world over and over, Caen took up his old errand-tail ways by delivering letters for different people in Ul'dah, and occasionally the other nations of Eorzea. However, due to the sensitive information he unwittingly carried, he was made a target by the Syndicate agents after he was seen handing over letters addressed to the Sultana. On the night where the Eorzean Alliance were greeting the ambassadors from Ishgard, fighting began to break out in the city. Caen was chased by a few of the brass blades through the Gold Court, and nearly made it to the Royal Promenade, where he was knocked out by an ambush. Caen was imprisoned, and then sold into a slave ring with the rest of the prisoners that sat in the Ul'dahn cells. &lt;br /&gt;
==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;font-size:40px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Heavensward&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:CaenBard.jpg|left|CaenBard.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
=== These Eyes of Mine (3.1)===&lt;br /&gt;
It was soon discovered that Caen had been sold to an illegal gladiator ring where slaves were matched against each other for fictional lands and titles in a game played by the nobility of Ul'dah. The boy was forced to surrender his self-made vows to never take a life, as some fights in the ring were kill or be killed. His only possessions were a wicked pair of twin daggers that he was taught to use by another fellow slave named Yae. After numerous attempts to escape and push letters from windows, Lurial Vashir and a number of brave souls, including her brother Tiergan, were able to locate Caen and organized an assault on the ringleader's mansion. Only known as her moniker, &amp;quot;The Woman&amp;quot;, Caen's master threw all of her slaves and guards at the band of rescuers and even drugged Caen and set him upon his former friends. Caen was rendered unconscious during the fight and taken to the Forgotten Springs for healing and rest. After waking up, Caen felt terrified to meet his cousins and friends again. He perceived his soul and eyes to be stained with the lives he was forced to take during his time as a gladiator. For the time being, he subtly struggles to continue wearing the mask of unbridled happiness just as he did before. The lad now carries a pain in his heart and wonders if he even deserves to live after betraying his promise to never stain his hands with blood. In spite of his inner turmoil, he made preparations to become an adventurer himself and sought employment in Ishgard, recently united with the Eorzean Alliance. Employed as a supply runner for Betelgeuse Bordeaux's Button Shoppe, Caen finds himself working early mornings; running across the realm to spread elaborate buttons to the rest of Eorzea's markets and weaver guilds. The lad spends alot of time in the Quicksand, stashing away his earned gil to fund an expedition to the mysteries of the northern lands where the lost boy hopes to find himself again.&lt;br /&gt;
=== Menphina's Blessing (3.2)===&lt;br /&gt;
Shortly after Bordeaux's business really took off, Caen stepped away from the company to focus more on himself, traveling though Dravania for a spell. He was plagued by nightmares of the blood he had been forced to spill on the gladiator ring and it seemed that the blood would never wash off. He encountered Tailfeather and for a brief period, enjoyed a time watching the wild chocobo and (if Caen is to be believed) played hide and seek with young dragons. He also experienced flight for the first time, working alongside Vath and their newly formed guild, he flew atop a Kongamoto. He spent alot of time racing through the trees atop the strange creature and experienced bliss for the first time in moons. It was around this time, after returning to Ul'dah, he befriended a keeper of the moon named Kiht'a Zajhiri. He and Kiht'a both shared age and a similar pattern in their pasts. After a few meetings, the friendship developed into a young romance. Although Khit'a had expressed his desire to be open with their relationship, even Caen could not deny how fascinated he was with the keeper and spent as much time with Kiht'a as he could. The two did nearly everything together and shared a room in the Goblet for a time. Caen subconsciously felt at home and loved for the first time, feeling his hidden sadness and loneliness drift away. He developed confidence as a mate and wished to become a stronger person for Kiht'a, who was skilled as a hunter. The seeker took it upon himself to practice archery and set his blood-stained daggers aside. He departed for the Shroud for pets to bring back to his partner as a surprise, but could not have foreseen the adventure he would become tangled up in.&lt;br /&gt;
=== Ballad of the Scarlet Devil (3.3)===&lt;br /&gt;
Deep amidst the Shroud, Caen stalked creatures of the forest, tapping into his hunting instinct as a seeker miqo'te. After a few pelts had been gathered and meat taken, the miqo'te found himself upon a lone lalafel who was strumming a lyre in the most hauntingly beautiful fashion. The notes echoed in Caen's heart and soul and seemed to vibrate every branch in their vicinity. A mist descended around them, and from the small being's lyre, came aetherial light. Without warning, a band of men cloaked in red rushed towards the lalafel. Caen shouted for the lalafel, who stopped playing and readied a bow for battle while Caen fired shots from his own bow from the bushes. The men dead, the enigmatic lalafel introduced himself as Rojiko Tojiko, claiming he was sent from Dravania to stop a ritual that would summon a voidsent lord. He also claimed that his melody lulled disturbed souls back to sleep, for if all of them were to awaken, a terrible darkness would be wrought across the realm. The men in red traveled to several areas of the Shroud corrupting aether, causing discord with the Elementals, and upon chanting an ancient ballad, they hoped to summon Forenzikon the Purge, who would bathe the lands in an azure light, dispelling the Elemental balance forever. Caen did not hesitate to join Rojiko and the two set off to purify the Shroud. Caen explained how he had felt when Rojiko played his melody and the lalafel took notice of Caen's gift for song as they walked together. Before they slept, Rojiko showed the miqo'te how to play the lute, but commented on how Caen could never hope to play with such power without a soulstone. Even still, Caen was happy to learn Rojiko's many tools of the trade: Trick arrows, poison arrowheads, along with a few songs to play, should Caen ever obtain a lute of his own. Between fending off the red-cloaked men, Rojiko putting disturbed spirits to rest with song, and campfire tales, Caen hardly noticed weeks go by. In was before the final spirit could be laid to rest that the two were ambushed by Coeurlclaw bandits. Outnumbered, Caen and Rojiko were captured and the lalafel was gravely wounded. They begged to be freed as to prevent the voidsent from being awoken and Rojiko, out of desperation, finally persuaded the leader of the band to be able to entertain them all with a song. With a strange magic, the small bard lulled them all to sleep. He and Caen escaped, making great haste to the final resting place. Caen made use of every trick he had been taught, covering Rojiko to his last arrow as the lalafel played his final song. The trees shook as the spirit of the voidsent vanished and upon strumming his last string, Rojiko dropped to his knees. After dressing each others wounds and enjoying their victroy, Rojiko asked Caen to travel back to Dravania with him. Caen agreed, still unbelieving that they had beaten back such a force. The journey was oddly peaceful and upon arriving to the Hinterlands, Rojiko bid Caen goodbye, simply saying where he was going, the miqo'te couldn't follow. He passed his lyre to the lad, making the seeker promise to remember the importance of song and how even something so simple as a melody could take back the night.&lt;br /&gt;

==Character Connections==&lt;br /&gt;
There are an abundance of souls who may have crossed paths with Caen as they live in Eorzea~&lt;br /&gt;
::* Anyone who has lived in Ul'Dah for the last 2-3 years would've seen him working at ''The Quicksand.''&lt;br /&gt;
::* He's also a well-known messenger, running parcels across Thanalan for the past 3 years. It's possible you enlisted his services.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Anyone who had resided in Vesper Bay or Crescent Cove in the last 5 years.&lt;br /&gt;
::* It's possible you have seen him honing his skill in the Pugilist's Guild in Ul'dah.&lt;br /&gt;
::* He may have bugged you about your adventures or asked you if you were alright if you wandered into ''The Quicksand'' looking broody.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Although rare, it is also possible you heard him singing in the streets of Ul'dah. His favorite spots were The Gold Court, near the Thaumaturge's Guild, and the Hustling Strip.&lt;br /&gt;

==Trivia &amp;amp; Misc==&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen will sometimes make subtle references to Final Fantasy IX.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen's songs are Final Fantasy songs given lyrics by Katethegreat19 on Youtube. He will often recall that a mysterious bard taught him these songs. All other songs or ballads are original pieces.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen is unofficially voiced by Antony Del Rio.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen will often be played with techno/dance/hip hop music in the background and his soundtrack depicts songs of this genre. Examples include artists like Imagine Dragons, Eiffel 65, and the soundtrack from the Persona series of games, just to name a few. This is a reference to Vysce's favorite music as a child.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen's desire to &amp;quot;protect everyone's smiles&amp;quot; is a reference to the Kamen Rider series, particularly Kamen Rider OOO.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen's patron deity Azeyma is close to the word Asthma, which Caen's player was temporarily sick with while creating Caen.&lt;br /&gt;
::* All of Caen's family have lighter-colored hair, with him and his father having the only dark hair amongst their relatives. This is an allusion to Caen's player's (Vysce) actual family where the entire family is composed of people with blond hair, save for Vysce, who was born blond yet later grew dark mahogany.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Sarisa and Lieru are from a love-story, rped by Caen's player in ''Guild Wars 2''. Lieru is also the first character he ever created.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen's yellow eyes are a tip of the hat to his player's time rping in ''Star Wars: The Old Republic'' where he wielded a yellow lightsaber.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen will often sing &amp;quot;Fish! Fish! Fish!&amp;quot; when offered a cooked fish. This is a reference to the champion Fizz from ''League of Legends.''&lt;br /&gt;
::* The lad's theme is the &amp;quot;Netsky&amp;quot; remix of the song ''Finale'' by Madeon. When dueling him, a faster version of the song will play. His other themes include ''I'm Alive'' by Becca, and ''New Divide'' by Linkin Park.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen is always 100% IC, even when out leveling. SO if you see him, don't hesitate to say hello!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;''&amp;quot;Believe in me, for my resolve does not waver, nor can it be fractured.&amp;quot; ~Vailyx the Swifttail''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Caen Jabari''' is a young miqo'te who was found washed ashore in Vesper Bay on the day of the Great Calamity. Caen remembered nothing of his first eleven years, and woke up to a world he did not remember living in. All he had on him, besides the tattered rags that covered his body, were water-logged letters addressed to &amp;quot;Caen&amp;quot; from an older brother &amp;quot;Vailyx&amp;quot; and held together by a pair of violet earrings. Thankfully, the kinder fisherman, Faust Jabari was able to find the young miqo'te and semi-raised the boy to be able to live on his own. After five years, not only has Eorzea changed, but so has the young seeker of the sun.&lt;br /&gt;

===Appearance===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;You may be Ul'dah's desert canary, but you bear the heart of the phoenix, Caen.  You can always reignite and fly again.&amp;quot;'' ~Tiergan Vashir&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caen sports a wide-eyed, youthful face with bronzed skin due to living under the desert sun for years. Although he's lived in Ul'dah in the summers he remembers, Caen sports a slight Lominsan accent due to being raised in the city beside the Rhotano. His eyes are a bright amber and his large canines tend to show when he grins with his teeth. The lad also sports a shaggy mane of royal blue hair that would attempt to curl inwards over his face, yet it is mostly kept covered by a light head-wrapping. On his left cheek, he bears a X-shaped scar. Caen is best well known by his choice of attire; his bright yellow-coloured garb, to show off his love for the sunlight. His favorite articles of clothing usually include loose sarouel and leather boots or crakows. He prefers loose, billowy shirts in lieu of proper button-downs and is prone to sleeve-less vests and sometimes revealing chest pieces.                                                                 &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
===Personality===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:CaenJabari.jpg|left|CaenJabari.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
Caen is wild and carefree making him a perfect candidate for odd jobs through-out Thanalan and Ul'dah herself. A friend to everyone, the boy is cheerful and will rarely hesitate to chat up a stranger. His favorite pastime is residing within ''The Quicksand'' to watch the comings and goings of adventurers, occasionally prodding them for tales of their adventures outside the desert. This inspired him to finally leave Ul'dah to experience adventures of his own. Prone to mischief and hardly watching where he steps, Caen often finds himself in troublesome situations and relies on his quick-thinking and unorthodox methods of survival. The miqo'te is always in high-spirits and is at his best around friends, to whom he is very loyal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;font-size:40px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Martial Arts&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
===Fighting Style===&lt;br /&gt;
::*Caen is naturally gifted with hand-to-hand combat, but is clumsy as a toddler when it comes to a sword. During his childhood in Limsa Lominsa, he was often made fun of for his Hyuran name, which led to many street brawls with the local bullies. He taught himself how to punch, kick, and dodge out of attacks when overwhelmed, becoming effective at fighting many targets at once.&lt;br /&gt;
::*When his brother Vailyx began to take up the art of the Lance, Caen naturally went out and carved his own pole-arm out of a fallen tree branch to teach himself to do that as well, desiring skills better than his perfect brother. Vailyx was never to busy to show Caen up and belittle the boy on his flawed techniques, yet managed to teach him proper form over the course of three years. By berating his younger brother on what not to do, he effectively taught him how to use the lance as an extension of his arm. And although Caen was never old enough to leave Limsa and study the lance abroad, Vailyx was secretly proud of Caen.&lt;br /&gt;
::*Caen continued to pave his way through the Thanalan with his fists after he had awoken from losing his memory. After saving his foster-father, Faust, from a yarzon swarm a month after awakening, he took Caen  to the Pugilist's Guild within Ul'dah, where the boy would hone his skills. While mostly his training pertained of running errands for the Holyfist, Hamon, Caen did occasionally teach himself a less-clumsy fighting style after watching the students spar.&lt;br /&gt;
::*Caen often speaks of how beautiful and interesting he believes swords to be, but he cannot properly wield one on his own. When he does, he finds the blade &amp;quot;rejecting&amp;quot; him. Still he finds them incredibly intriguing.&lt;br /&gt;
::*Recently, the yellow-clad miqo'te has shown an impressive form using twin daggers. His agility from his training under Hamon and acrobatic nature have benefitted him greatly in close-quarters combat.&lt;br /&gt;

===Aliases/Nicknames===&lt;br /&gt;
::* '''Canary''': After many attempts to get the lonely adventurer Sarisa Clementine to smile, Caen finally succeeded after singing a ballad to her one morning. She smiled for the first time in two years, since Carteneau, and called him her Canary. It has become a rare nickname for Caen, as few know of it, yet he will cherish it forever. It was also a name called to him by his mother, V'ira, when she taught him to sing as a child.&lt;br /&gt;
::* '''Chocobo''': Called this by his close friends, Caen is often compared to the yellow flightless bird of Eorzea, due to his bright yellow choice of clothing.&lt;br /&gt;
::* '''Blue Wolf''': Only the residents of Vesper Bay would call Caen by such. Once when he was skinny-dipping in the Bay, a group of bullies thought it would be funny to steal his clothes. Stark-naked, Caen stealthily tried to make it back to Faust's house to no avail, as the streets were rather crowded. He soon came across a pail of blue paint, and, seeing it as his only option, dumped it all over himself. He would then dart through the streets, on all fours, to Faust's home, terrifying the citizenry who lay sight to the &amp;quot;Blue Wolf Monster&amp;quot;. After Faust explained the truth to everyone to avoid panic, it became a running gag within the small town's residents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;  font-size:30px;  color:#FFFFFF&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Relationships&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
===Family===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Father: C'aseen the Poet, ''deceased''&lt;br /&gt;
::* Mother: V'ira Tarja, ''deceased''&lt;br /&gt;
::* Older Brother: Vailyx the Swifttail, ''missing in action''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Foster Father: Faust Jabari, A hyuran fisherman and resident of Vesper Bay. He was fishing off the coast of Crescent Cove when he noticed a small boy clinging to a large piece of driftwood in the sea. He became Caen's foster father, and attempted to teach Caen the ways of the world the boy had forgotten about.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Cousin: '''[[Tiergan Vashir]]''', One of Caen's only living blood-relatives. Since he learned that Caen is his long-lost cousin, Teigan is fiercely protective of the lad, trying to be the brother Vailyx would have been to Caen. Caen loves his cousin dearly, and often tries to act out to make the older miqo'te proud of him. Caen, unbeknownst to Tiergan, would often stalk his cousin in order to study him and adopt his mannerisms. Still, much of Tiergan's past is a mystery to Caen, as the boy is unsure whether it is inappropriate to ask. Even still, friends often mistake Tiergan and Caen for brothers, and the two would go along with it, as Caen feels that Tiergan is a great older brother, in Vailyx's absence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Cousin: '''[[Lurial Vashir]]''', One of Caen's only living blood-relatives. Luri was able to track down the youngest son of her aunt V'ira to the streets of Ul'dah. When she connected the dots, she came to Caen and revealed the truth to him. While Caen hides inner worry of being apart of a family again, he cannot help but feel at home again, in a place where he belongs. Until her recent disappearance, Caen had stayed in her home in the city of Ul'dah... now Caen searches for his cousin hoping to reunite them again as she once did for him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Bodyguard: '''[[Furious Storm]]''', The bodyguard of Lurial Vashir, Caen and &amp;quot;Fury&amp;quot; instantly became best friends when Caen decided to break the shyness between them by bringing the roegadyn a warm apple tart after his first night at Lurial's home. Now the two are basically inseparable, and Caen never forgets to bring the large mute treats from around Thanalan. While he did vanish around the same time as Lurial, he still sends him treats and candy via moogle post, as they can apparently track the roegadyn better than Caen could.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Friends===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caen has had the fortune of meeting all kinds of souls by hanging near ''The Quicksand'' after leaving Vesper Bay when Faust journeyed to Mor Dhona to find his wife, Maria. Some have touched his lives more than others and even after quitting his job serving patrons for Momodi, he still eats most of his meals there and hangs around for a good while after. Being the jewel of the sand, Ul'dah is frequented by many and Caen makes a good attempt to meet them all, offering strangers a friendly flap of his ears and a story exchange to boot.&lt;br /&gt;

((friend's list coming soon T-T))&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Chocobos===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen has always had a great affinity for befriending chocobos. He often wished to become a chocobo porter or breeder when he was younger. Some will find he actually talks to them. In moments of stress, the lad will often wander near chocobos and pet/talk to them. Since the birds seem to enjoy his company, many nearby porters or breeders don't mind his presence. It's not entirely sure if Caen wears yellow to display his love for chocobos or for the sun, since he favors both. Yet when asked, he will mention that he might favor chocobos more because you can't hug the sun. He dreams of having a chocobo of his own someday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Enemies===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caen doesn't have any real enemies that he knows of. He has lived an honest life and cannot hold a grudge to save it. Even when disrespected or belittled by an individual, he is quick to forgive all after sleeping it off, and greets them the next day, cheerful as ever.&lt;br /&gt;

==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;font-size:40px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;The Story&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:CaenByEdge.jpg|right|CaenByEdge.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
===The Legacy of C'aseen the Poet===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen's father, known as C'aseen the Poet by his brothers in arms, was a monk in the ranks of the Fists of Rhalgr. At a young age, he abandoned his tribe along with his best friend F'une to study the ways of balance and the fist, and later came to unlock his hidden chakra. Although he claimed to be a pacifist, C'aseen yearned for unmatched power so that he could defend his way of life unopposed, whereas F'une was more aggressive, and fully embraced the way of The Destroyer. C'aseen would make a habit of sharing his small wealth with the less fortunate of Ala Mhigo, and aiding in small jobs among the lower class, behind F'une's back. He would thatch holes in roofs, gather game, and pull caravans himself. He was also known by his spouts of poetry that he would preach about the world and life. It was then, he met a woman named V'ira Tarja and fell madly in love with her. Traditions of his kind be damned, he would spend nights singing ballads to her... not knowing she was fighting feelings for him. Eventually they would come together and sire a white-haired boy who V'ira named Vailyx.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Vailyx, the Swifttail of Ala Mhigo===&lt;br /&gt;
Vailyx grew into a wild-cat like his mother, yet bore the confidence of his father. Fond of all manner of mischief, he grew up alongside his best friend and cousin Tiergan Vashir. Along with Tiergan's sister Lurial, the trio would cast bouts of chaos among the lower levels of Ala Mhigo. Dodoes would suddenly find their pens opened and run through the streets, food from merchant stalls would go missing, and there was even one incident when the three road atop a chocobo taken back from a corrupt tax collector for their neighbor, who was struggling to make ends meet. Vailyx was always there to save his friends from peril, coming out with a bloody nose and a few other bruises; his trade-mark fanged smirk not wavering. He named himself the ''Swifttail'' of Ala Mhigo, claiming it was a title bestowed by the Twelve for his cunning and speed, but in truth, he merely thought it sounded cool and intimidating. At one point, he even dyed his long, white hair into a bright red colour, so that he would look like a fiery comet as he rushed through the streets and rooftops. Their childhood was happy... but it was not to last.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Escape from Ala Mhigo===&lt;br /&gt;
Vailyx was eight years old when the Empire lay waste to Ala Mhigo in their campaign to take over Eorzea. F'une attempted to sneak C'aseen and his family onto a refugee caravan, fleeing the city amongst the chaos. This act cost F'une his life, but ensured his comrade's safety. V'ira's family lost or missing, C'aseen thought it would be best to take his family far from Ala Mhigo and start over, eventually booking them a passage to Limsa Lominsa, the entire journey from Ala Mhigo to Limsa taking two years. It would be there that V'ira bore another child, a small blue-haired boy with amber eyes named Caen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Caen, The Amber Dawn===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen's childhood in Limsa Lominsa was a rather happy one. C'aseen sought to join the ranks of the Maelstrom, the Grand Company of Limsa, and Vailyx sought to become a warrior like his father. This left Caen alone most of the time, when he was able to wander off without V'ira. Caen was the representation of a new and happy life for the four, and a hope for the future. As Caen grew older, he adopted a mixture of his family traits. While his mischief wasn't as grand as Vailyx's schemes back in Ala Mhigo, they often led to street brawls with the local bullies who beat Caen, as he was a miqo'te with the hyuran name. During the brawls, many of the &amp;quot;bullies&amp;quot; came to like the boy, as the miqo'te never fought as if he was fighting for his life and instead fighting for the fun of it. It became clear that it was difficult to become enemies with the boy, and most of his hyran adversaries turned into good friends or friendly rivals. When he wasn't tussling in the lower decks, Caen would climb to the higher towers of Limsa, looking out at the sea to watch his father fish, and see ships come in to port. He came to know almost everyone, as he was quite nosey, and always was willing to lend a helping hand to a downtrodden stranger. V'ira would teach the young kitten to sing, to aid him in his quest to make all strangers happy, but not without warning the boy of the dangers of the world.&lt;br /&gt;
By the time Caen grew to his ninth year, he was already a thorn in his older brother's side. Constantly trying to show Vailyx up was a favorite pastime of his, while Vailyx had grown cold by comparison, still mourning the deaths of his two best friends Tiergan and Lurial. He was well on his way to becoming worthy enough to study in the ways of a Dragoon, which Caen would lovingly attempt to mimic. By Caen's tenth year, Vailyx has sought to forgive himself for not being able to save Tiergan and Lurial, seeing much of his younger self in Caen, who would bring light and joy to his terrible sorrow and cast it aside. For the first time, Caen was able to break through his older brother's cold exterior, and the brothers would bond happily for the next year. Another year passed... and with it, the Grand Companies of Eorzea prepared to meet Nael Van Darnus's VIIth Legion on the fields of Carteneau.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Cruelty of Fate===&lt;br /&gt;
C'aseen and Vailyx had made up their minds to fight alongside the Maelstrom forces at Carteneau. Yet, as Dalamud had lowered closer to Eorzea, Vailyx feared that the battle would not be won, and urged V'ira to take Caen on a ship and flee the continent. Caen took this terribly, and took up his practice lance, trying to fight Vailyx to let him go with them. Vailyx, out of options, slashed the practice lance in half and cut his brother across the cheek in an attempt to make his brother hate him, so that he wouldn't want to join them at Carteneau. Caen, now sporting a nasty cross-shaped wound, flung himself at his brother, understanding his fears and embracing him one last time. Vailyx would hand his mother letters to Caen, and, embracing them one last time, rushed off to join C'aseen at the battle. Caen and V'ira were able to get passage to a ship heading for another continent with other refugees, yet as Dalamud drew ever closer, the captain of their ship, Kruz Rosgaldornyn, revealed his ugly plot to turn the ship towards Ul'dah, and sell everyone aboard as slaves into the Ul'dahn underground black market. Kruz would attempt to seize V'ira and have his way with the miqo'te woman before they arrived, but Caen begged and pleaded him to release her, offering his own life in exchange. A twisted being, Kruz agreed, and took the young lad to his quarters, where he tortured the boy for making him look weak in front of his crew. As the beating grew worse, Caen could not take it anymore and bit the man's ear off. Enraged, Kruz tied the boy down and prepared to cut Caen's tail off. Before the blow was struck, V'ira burst down the door, stunning Kruz with a glass bottle to the face and released Caen. As they rushed to a lifeboat, the waves grew restless and aggressive, and the skies turned violent. Flares rained down from the sky, flinging themselves into the deep ocean. Amidst the chaos, V'ira removed her violet earrings and wrapped them around Vailyx's letters, tucking them into Caen's jacket. She embraced her son for the last time, and the ship was hit by one of Bahamut's flares. Caen was thrust into the air along with debris from the ship, the bodies of refugees, and V'ira. He reached for her, in an attempt to fly towards her again, and screamed her name, just as she was engulfed by flames. Caen hit the water with a terrible force... and fell into the abyss of his mind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Awakening to Null===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen awoke to a warm bed, in the small home of Faust Jabari, a fisherman in Vesper Bay. He had been asleep for nearly a week. When Faust asked the boy his name, the boy could not recall. In fact he knew not who he was, nor where he was... nor why Faust had no tail when the lad had one. Faust attempted to look through the letters Caen had washed ashore with, yet they were almost too water-logged to read. All he could make out is they were addressed to &amp;quot;Caen&amp;quot;... from someone named Vailyx. Taking a shot in the dark, Faust would return Caen's name to him, and gift the lost miqo'te with that of his own surname, &amp;quot;Jabari&amp;quot; until his memories returned. Caen was timid and shy around the other kids in Vesper, while many of them were around their eleventh year, as he was, he felt terrified to be around people. His days were spent trying to piece together who he was, and his nightmares were plagued by a vision of his chasing a red-haired knight with a lance into a blinding horizon, yet he could never catch them. It wasn't until Faust took Caen along with him to trade his wares at Ul'dah, did remnants of himself return.&lt;br /&gt;
Faust briefly left Caen with Momodi of ''The Quicksand'' while he went to trade his wares at market. It was then that Caen witnessed the sorrow of a beautiful lady named Sarisa Clementine. A band of adventurers, her comrades tried anything they could to get her to find hope that her lover had survived the Battle Of Carteneau, but she would turn them away. Caen was overcome with a need to make her smile, and approached her, initiating conversation. Sarisa was so shocked that a mysterious boy would just walk up and chat with her, that she obliged. The two would meet at ''The Quicksand'' and talk often, about Caen's missing memories, and of Sarisa and her love for her fiancee, Lieru. And one day, Caen sang to her... a ballad conjured from the depths of his mind... and for the first time in a long time, she smiled. It was then that Caen decided, it was smiles like hers he wanted to one day protect. And he would be the light in the darkness for those who had lost their own. He dreamt of a world without sorrow, without war or bloodshed, and became determined to become strong enough to herald the arrival of such a world.&lt;br /&gt;
==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;font-size:40px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;After Meteor&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:RainyCaen.jpg|left|RainyCaen.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
===Five Years Later... (2.0)===&lt;br /&gt;
After convincing Faust to journey to Mor Dhona and find his wife Maria, Caen had sang in the streets of Ul'dah for gil, while also finding an opportunity to become a messenger bearing secret letters for groups that would not like to see them taken from moogles. It was Naih'ir Molkot and Momodi of ''The Quicksand'' that would offer Caen a real job, washing dishes and serving the patrons of the inn. During this time, Caen would also find habit of &amp;quot;perching&amp;quot; atop the rails of the room, conversing with strangers and getting them to detail their adventures outside the desert, having no memory of the world beyond. Caen still yearns for a place to call home once again, and prays that the Twelve might offer a hint as to why his memory was taken from him. Still, he wields a confident smirk and a bright yellow attire, in a hope to be a light for everyone and make them smile...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Brave New Realm (2.1)===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen could say his life changed when he met a group of adventurers in the Quicksand. The first man was a Dragoon named Artorias Mason. At first the Huyr was a marvel to behold, capable of endless feats and even more knowledge. He had had everything... and lost it all to the Empire. He was an inspiration... yet darkness existed in the mans heart having lost all he held dear. He denied the Gods existence and placed Caen's undying faith to the Twelve among the ranks of the pathetic; an event that shook the boy to his core and giving him doubt for the first time.  During a trip out to Crescent Cove, Caen and Artorias run in with Garrett Slater, a free-paladin in training. Caen shows them both a crashed Garlean vessel, rusted and long-dead, when they are attacked by a giant yarzon. After defeating the vilekin, Garrett and Artorias meet in private when Caen is suddenly caught in a Garlean ambush. In a narrow victory, the group is able to flee towards Ul'dah to return Caen to the Quicksand. The following day, Caen was approached by a woman named Kelvena, who searches for her father Ikus and his mercenary company Lost Rogues. When she finds out that Caen has never been outside Ul'dah, she, Artorias, and Garrett decide to take the boy to Limsa Lominsa. There, it is revealed that Artorias plans to kill himself after fighting the primals and defeating Gaius von Baelsar. Although Caen pleads with him, Artorias' mind is made up and he eventually leaves. It is then that Kelvena and Garrett take Caen to Gridania... where Caen visits the Lancer's Guild and finds the Last Letter of the Swifttail. These last written words of his older brother, Vailyx ensure that Caen really is Caen, and that he should continue to live his own life as his father and mother had wanted. Still wishing he could remember his family, Caen tries to find solace among his new friends. Artorias senses the boy's strife and bids Kelvena look after Caen like an older sister.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Shards of the Forsaken (2.2)===&lt;br /&gt;
One night, Caen began hearing voices in his head, including images and emotions felt by people he didn't know. This led him to run off into the Gold Court unable to control his own pain. Garrett, Kelvena, and Artorias would try to help Caen... only to be approached by two enigmatic miqo'te. Tiergan Vashir and An'nai came to find Caen, but after Artorias threatened Tiergan, the miqo'te let slip that Caen may, in fact have a shard within him, allowing him to tap into latent power and talk with others over long distances. It was only after Caen got his control over his emotions that Brynhilde Wulf appeared before the lad. After inspecting the boy, she made it clear to everyone that he was not one of the shard bearers... but in his mind, Caen could hear her saying something different. He was a shard-bearer... and a rune slowly affixed itself above Caen's heart.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Seekers (2.3)===&lt;br /&gt;
It was the day when Caen was waiting to be deployed with a handful of other new Flame cadets to the Sagolii desert. The information broker, Lurial Vashir found Caen first and told him the truth. His family was still alive, and his older cousins had survived the moonfall five years ago. Shocked, the miqo'te boy grew quickly attached to both Lurial and Tiergan.&lt;br /&gt;
Caen's Flame deployment also ended quickly, as sand worms attacked the site of the training grounds. With the telepathic assistance from afar through the link, Caen was able to drag the soldier caravan and a few survivors back to Ul'dah. Caen was granted a scout position, which was limited to parcel and supply delivery, if only for the boy's speed and diligence.&lt;br /&gt;
The dark hood of the Entudenin reared its head and began to attack shard-bearers, Caen included. At one point, Caen was pushed off of the high walls of Coerthas by a dark agent of the Entudenin. The boy was paralyzed from the waist down and after three days, was found by Tiergan, who had to fight past two agents to rescue his cousin. Caen was taken to the Shroud for extensive healing and afterwards, found himself hiding from the shard-bearer headquarters, afraid of being attacked by another of the dark hoods.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Taken (2.55)===&lt;br /&gt;
As the moon cycled around the world over and over, Caen took up his old errand-tail ways by delivering letters for different people in Ul'dah, and occasionally the other nations of Eorzea. However, due to the sensitive information he unwittingly carried, he was made a target by the Syndicate agents after he was seen handing over letters addressed to the Sultana. On the night where the Eorzean Alliance were greeting the ambassadors from Ishgard, fighting began to break out in the city. Caen was chased by a few of the brass blades through the Gold Court, and nearly made it to the Royal Promenade, where he was knocked out by an ambush. Caen was imprisoned, and then sold into a slave ring with the rest of the prisoners that sat in the Ul'dahn cells. &lt;br /&gt;
==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;font-size:40px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Heavensward&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:CaenBard.jpg|left|CaenBard.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
=== These Eyes of Mine (3.1)===&lt;br /&gt;
It was soon discovered that Caen had been sold to an illegal gladiator ring where slaves were matched against each other for fictional lands and titles in a game played by the nobility of Ul'dah. The boy was forced to surrender his self-made vows to never take a life, as some fights in the ring were kill or be killed. His only possessions were a wicked pair of twin daggers that he was taught to use by another fellow slave named Yae. After numerous attempts to escape and push letters from windows, Lurial Vashir and a number of brave souls, including her brother Tiergan, were able to locate Caen and organized an assault on the ringleader's mansion. Only known as her moniker, &amp;quot;The Woman&amp;quot;, Caen's master threw all of her slaves and guards at the band of rescuers and even drugged Caen and set him upon his former friends. Caen was rendered unconscious during the fight and taken to the Forgotten Springs for healing and rest. After waking up, Caen felt terrified to meet his cousins and friends again. He perceived his soul and eyes to be stained with the lives he was forced to take during his time as a gladiator. For the time being, he subtly struggles to continue wearing the mask of unbridled happiness just as he did before. The lad now carries a pain in his heart and wonders if he even deserves to live after betraying his promise to never stain his hands with blood. In spite of his inner turmoil, he made preparations to become an adventurer himself and sought employment in Ishgard, recently united with the Eorzean Alliance. Employed as a supply runner for Betelgeuse Bordeaux's Button Shoppe, Caen finds himself working early mornings; running across the realm to spread elaborate buttons to the rest of Eorzea's markets and weaver guilds. The lad spends alot of time in the Quicksand, stashing away his earned gil to fund an expedition to the mysteries of the northern lands where the lost boy hopes to find himself again.&lt;br /&gt;
=== Menphina's Blessing (3.2)===&lt;br /&gt;
Shortly after Bordeaux's business really took off, Caen stepped away from the company to focus more on himself, traveling though Dravania for a spell. He was plagued by nightmares of the blood he had been forced to spill on the gladiator ring and it seemed that the blood would never wash off. He encountered Tailfeather and for a brief period, enjoyed a time watching the wild chocobo and (if Caen is to be believed) played hide and seek with young dragons. He also experienced flight for the first time, working alongside Vath and their newly formed guild, he flew atop a Kongamoto. He spent alot of time racing through the trees atop the strange creature and experienced bliss for the first time in moons. It was around this time, after returning to Ul'dah, he befriended a keeper of the moon named Kiht'a Zajhiri. He and Kiht'a both shared age and a similar pattern in their pasts. After a few meetings, the friendship developed into a young romance. Although Khit'a had expressed his desire to be open with their relationship, even Caen could not deny how fascinated he was with the keeper and spent as much time with Kiht'a as he could. The two did nearly everything together and shared a room in the Goblet for a time. Caen subconsciously felt at home and loved for the first time, feeling his hidden sadness and loneliness drift away. He developed confidence as a mate and wished to become a stronger person for Kiht'a, who was skilled as a hunter. The seeker took it upon himself to practice archery and set his blood-stained daggers aside. He departed for the Shroud for pets to bring back to his partner as a surprise, but could not have foreseen the adventure he would become tangled up in.&lt;br /&gt;
=== Ballad of the Scarlet Devil (3.3)===&lt;br /&gt;
Deep amidst the Shroud, Caen stalked creatures of the forest, tapping into his hunting instinct as a seeker miqo'te. After a few pelts had been gathered and meat taken, the miqo'te found himself upon a lone lalafel who was strumming a lyre in the most hauntingly beautiful fashion. The notes echoed in Caen's heart and soul and seemed to vibrate every branch in their vicinity. A mist descended around them, and from the small being's lyre, came aetherial light. Without warning, a band of men cloaked in red rushed towards the lalafel. Caen shouted for the lalafel, who stopped playing and readied a bow for battle while Caen fired shots from his own bow from the bushes. The men dead, the enigmatic lalafel introduced himself as Rojiko Tojiko, claiming he was sent from Dravania to stop a ritual that would summon a voidsent lord. He also claimed that his melody lulled disturbed souls back to sleep, for if all of them were to awaken, a terrible darkness would be wrought across the realm. The men in red traveled to several areas of the Shroud corrupting aether, causing discord with the Elementals, and upon chanting an ancient ballad, they hoped to summon Forenzikon the Purge, who would bathe the lands in an azure light, dispelling the Elemental balance forever. Caen did not hesitate to join Rojiko and the two set off to purify the Shroud. Caen explained how he had felt when Rojiko played his melody and the lalafel took notice of Caen's gift for song as they walked together. Before they slept, Rojiko showed the miqo'te how to play the lute, but commented on how Caen could never hope to play with such power without a soulstone. Even still, Caen was happy to learn Rojiko's many tools of the trade: Trick arrows, poison arrowheads, along with a few songs to play, should Caen ever obtain a lute of his own. Between fending off the red-cloaked men, Rojiko putting disturbed spirits to rest with song, and campfire tales, Caen hardly noticed weeks go by. In was before the final spirit could be laid to rest that the two were ambushed by Coeurlclaw bandits. Outnumbered, Caen and Rojiko were captured and the lalafel was gravely wounded. They begged to be freed as to prevent the voidsent from being awoken and Rojiko, out of desperation, finally persuaded the leader of the band to be able to entertain them all with a song. With a strange magic, the small bard lulled them all to sleep. He and Caen escaped, making great haste to the final resting place. Caen made use of every trick he had been taught, covering Rojiko to his last arrow as the lalafel played his final song. The trees shook as the spirit of the voidsent vanished and upon strumming his last string, Rojiko dropped to his knees. After dressing each others wounds and enjoying their victroy, Rojiko asked Caen to travel back to Dravania with him. Caen agreed, still unbelieving that they had beaten back such a force. The journey was oddly peaceful and upon arriving to the Hinterlands, Rojiko bid Caen goodbye, simply saying where he was going, the miqo'te couldn't follow. He passed his lyre to the lad, making the seeker promise to remember the importance of song and how even something so simple as a melody could take back the night.&lt;br /&gt;

==Character Connections==&lt;br /&gt;
There are an abundance of souls who may have crossed paths with Caen as they live in Eorzea~&lt;br /&gt;
::* Anyone who has lived in Ul'Dah for the last 2-3 years would've seen him working at ''The Quicksand.''&lt;br /&gt;
::* He's also a well-known messenger, running parcels across Thanalan for the past 3 years. It's possible you enlisted his services.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Anyone who had resided in Vesper Bay or Crescent Cove in the last 5 years.&lt;br /&gt;
::* It's possible you have seen him honing his skill in the Pugilist's Guild in Ul'dah.&lt;br /&gt;
::* He may have bugged you about your adventures or asked you if you were alright if you wandered into ''The Quicksand'' looking broody.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Although rare, it is also possible you heard him singing in the streets of Ul'dah. His favorite spots were The Gold Court, near the Thaumaturge's Guild, and the Hustling Strip.&lt;br /&gt;

==Trivia &amp;amp; Misc==&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen will sometimes make subtle references to Final Fantasy IX.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen's songs are Final Fantasy songs given lyrics by Katethegreat19 on Youtube. He will often recall that a mysterious bard taught him these songs. All other songs or ballads are original pieces.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen is unofficially voiced by Antony Del Rio.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen will often be played with techno/dance/hip hop music in the background and his soundtrack depicts songs of this genre. Examples include artists like Imagine Dragons, Eiffel 65, and the soundtrack from the Persona series of games, just to name a few. This is a reference to Vysce's favorite music as a child.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen's desire to &amp;quot;protect everyone's smiles&amp;quot; is a reference to the Kamen Rider series, particularly Kamen Rider OOO.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen's patron deity Azeyma is close to the word Asthma, which Caen's player was temporarily sick with while creating Caen.&lt;br /&gt;
::* All of Caen's family have lighter-colored hair, with him and his father having the only dark hair amongst their relatives. This is an allusion to Caen's player's (Vysce) actual family where the entire family is composed of people with blond hair, save for Vysce, who was born blond yet later grew dark mahogany.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Sarisa and Lieru are from a love-story, rped by Caen's player in ''Guild Wars 2''. Lieru is also the first character he ever created.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen's yellow eyes are a tip of the hat to his player's time rping in ''Star Wars: The Old Republic'' where he wielded a yellow lightsaber.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen will often sing &amp;quot;Fish! Fish! Fish!&amp;quot; when offered a cooked fish. This is a reference to the champion Fizz from ''League of Legends.''&lt;br /&gt;
::* The lad's theme is the &amp;quot;Netsky&amp;quot; remix of the song ''Finale'' by Madeon. When dueling him, a faster version of the song will play. His other themes include ''I'm Alive'' by Becca, and ''New Divide'' by Linkin Park.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen is always 100% IC, even when out leveling. SO if you see him, don't hesitate to say hello!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;''&amp;quot;Believe in me, for my resolve does not waver, nor can it be fractured.&amp;quot; ~Vailyx the Swifttail''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Caen Jabari''' is a young miqo'te who was found washed ashore in Vesper Bay on the day of the Great Calamity. Caen remembered nothing of his first eleven years, and woke up to a world he did not remember living in. All he had on him, besides the tattered rags that covered his body, were water-logged letters addressed to &amp;quot;Caen&amp;quot; from an older brother &amp;quot;Vailyx&amp;quot; and held together by a pair of violet earrings. Thankfully, the kinder fisherman, Faust Jabari was able to find the young miqo'te and semi-raised the boy to be able to live on his own. After five years, not only has Eorzea changed, but so has the young seeker of the sun.&lt;br /&gt;

===Appearance===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;You may be Ul'dah's desert canary, but you bear the heart of the phoenix, Caen.  You can always reignite and fly again.&amp;quot;'' ~Tiergan Vashir&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caen sports a wide-eyed, youthful face with bronzed skin due to living under the desert sun for years. Although he's lived in Ul'dah in the summers he remembers, Caen sports a slight Lominsan accent due to being raised in the city beside the Rhotano. His eyes are a bright amber and his large canines tend to show when he grins with his teeth. The lad also sports a shaggy mane of royal blue hair that would attempt to curl inwards over his face, yet it is mostly kept covered by a light head-wrapping. On his left cheek, he bears a X-shaped scar. Caen is best well known by his choice of attire; his bright yellow-coloured garb, to show off his love for the sunlight. His favorite articles of clothing usually include loose sarouel and leather boots or crakows. He prefers loose, billowy shirts in lieu of proper button-downs and is prone to sleeve-less vests and sometimes revealing chest pieces.                                                                 &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
===Personality===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:CaenJabari.jpg|left|CaenJabari.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
Caen is wild and carefree making him a perfect candidate for odd jobs through-out Thanalan and Ul'dah herself. A friend to everyone, the boy is cheerful and will rarely hesitate to chat up a stranger. His favorite pastime is residing within ''The Quicksand'' to watch the comings and goings of adventurers, occasionally prodding them for tales of their adventures outside the desert. This inspired him to finally leave Ul'dah to experience adventures of his own. Prone to mischief and hardly watching where he steps, Caen often finds himself in troublesome situations and relies on his quick-thinking and unorthodox methods of survival. The miqo'te is always in high-spirits and is at his best around friends, to whom he is very loyal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;font-size:40px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Martial Arts&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
===Fighting Style===&lt;br /&gt;
::*Caen is naturally gifted with hand-to-hand combat, but is clumsy as a toddler when it comes to a sword. During his childhood in Limsa Lominsa, he was often made fun of for his Hyuran name, which led to many street brawls with the local bullies. He taught himself how to punch, kick, and dodge out of attacks when overwhelmed, becoming effective at fighting many targets at once.&lt;br /&gt;
::*When his brother Vailyx began to take up the art of the Lance, Caen naturally went out and carved his own pole-arm out of a fallen tree branch to teach himself to do that as well, desiring skills better than his perfect brother. Vailyx was never to busy to show Caen up and belittle the boy on his flawed techniques, yet managed to teach him proper form over the course of three years. By berating his younger brother on what not to do, he effectively taught him how to use the lance as an extension of his arm. And although Caen was never old enough to leave Limsa and study the lance abroad, Vailyx was secretly proud of Caen.&lt;br /&gt;
::*Caen continued to pave his way through the Thanalan with his fists after he had awoken from losing his memory. After saving his foster-father, Faust, from a yarzon swarm a month after awakening, he took Caen  to the Pugilist's Guild within Ul'dah, where the boy would hone his skills. While mostly his training pertained of running errands for the Holyfist, Hamon, Caen did occasionally teach himself a less-clumsy fighting style after watching the students spar.&lt;br /&gt;
::*Caen often speaks of how beautiful and interesting he believes swords to be, but he cannot properly wield one on his own. When he does, he finds the blade &amp;quot;rejecting&amp;quot; him. Still he finds them incredibly intriguing.&lt;br /&gt;
::*Recently, the yellow-clad miqo'te has shown an impressive form using twin daggers. His agility from his training under Hamon and acrobatic nature have benefitted him greatly in close-quarters combat.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Aliases/Nicknames===&lt;br /&gt;
::* '''Canary''': After many attempts to get the lonely adventurer Sarisa Clementine to smile, Caen finally succeeded after singing a ballad to her one morning. She smiled for the first time in two years, since Carteneau, and called him her Canary. It has become a rare nickname for Caen, as few know of it, yet he will cherish it forever. It was also a name called to him by his mother, V'ira, when she taught him to sing as a child.&lt;br /&gt;
::* '''Chocobo''': Called this by his close friends, Caen is often compared to the yellow flightless bird of Eorzea, due to his bright yellow choice of clothing.&lt;br /&gt;
::* '''Blue Wolf''': Only the residents of Vesper Bay would call Caen by such. Once when he was skinny-dipping in the Bay, a group of bullies thought it would be funny to steal his clothes. Stark-naked, Caen stealthily tried to make it back to Faust's house to no avail, as the streets were rather crowded. He soon came across a pail of blue paint, and, seeing it as his only option, dumped it all over himself. He would then dart through the streets, on all fours, to Faust's home, terrifying the citizenry who lay sight to the &amp;quot;Blue Wolf Monster&amp;quot;. After Faust explained the truth to everyone to avoid panic, it became a running gag within the small town's residents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;  font-size:30px;  color:#FFFFFF&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Relationships&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
===Family===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Father: C'aseen the Poet, ''deceased''&lt;br /&gt;
::* Mother: V'ira Tarja, ''deceased''&lt;br /&gt;
::* Older Brother: Vailyx the Swifttail, ''missing in action''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Foster Father: Faust Jabari, A hyuran fisherman and resident of Vesper Bay. He was fishing off the coast of Crescent Cove when he noticed a small boy clinging to a large piece of driftwood in the sea. He became Caen's foster father, and attempted to teach Caen the ways of the world the boy had forgotten about.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Cousin: '''[[Tiergan Vashir]]''', One of Caen's only living blood-relatives. Since he learned that Caen is his long-lost cousin, Teigan is fiercely protective of the lad, trying to be the brother Vailyx would have been to Caen. Caen loves his cousin dearly, and often tries to act out to make the older miqo'te proud of him. Caen, unbeknownst to Tiergan, would often stalk his cousin in order to study him and adopt his mannerisms. Still, much of Tiergan's past is a mystery to Caen, as the boy is unsure whether it is inappropriate to ask. Even still, friends often mistake Tiergan and Caen for brothers, and the two would go along with it, as Caen feels that Tiergan is a great older brother, in Vailyx's absence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Cousin: '''[[Lurial Vashir]]''', One of Caen's only living blood-relatives. Luri was able to track down the youngest son of her aunt V'ira to the streets of Ul'dah. When she connected the dots, she came to Caen and revealed the truth to him. While Caen hides inner worry of being apart of a family again, he cannot help but feel at home again, in a place where he belongs. Until her recent disappearance, Caen had stayed in her home in the city of Ul'dah... now Caen searches for his cousin hoping to reunite them again as she once did for him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Bodyguard: '''[[Furious Storm]]''', The bodyguard of Lurial Vashir, Caen and &amp;quot;Fury&amp;quot; instantly became best friends when Caen decided to break the shyness between them by bringing the roegadyn a warm apple tart after his first night at Lurial's home. Now the two are basically inseparable, and Caen never forgets to bring the large mute treats from around Thanalan. While he did vanish around the same time as Lurial, he still sends him treats and candy via moogle post, as they can apparently track the roegadyn better than Caen could.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Friends===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caen has had the fortune of meeting all kinds of souls by hanging near ''The Quicksand'' after leaving Vesper Bay when Faust journeyed to Mor Dhona to find his wife, Maria. Some have touched his lives more than others and even after quitting his job serving patrons for Momodi, he still eats most of his meals there and hangs around for a good while after. Being the jewel of the sand, Ul'dah is frequented by many and Caen makes a good attempt to meet them all, offering strangers a friendly flap of his ears and a story exchange to boot.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
((friend's list coming soon T-T))&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Chocobos===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen has always had a great affinity for befriending chocobos. He often wished to become a chocobo porter or breeder when he was younger. Some will find he actually talks to them. In moments of stress, the lad will often wander near chocobos and pet/talk to them. Since the birds seem to enjoy his company, many nearby porters or breeders don't mind his presence. It's not entirely sure if Caen wears yellow to display his love for chocobos or for the sun, since he favors both. Yet when asked, he will mention that he might favor chocobos more because you can't hug the sun. He dreams of having a chocobo of his own someday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Enemies===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caen doesn't have any real enemies that he knows of. He has lived an honest life and cannot hold a grudge to save it. Even when disrespected or belittled by an individual, he is quick to forgive all after sleeping it off, and greets them the next day, cheerful as ever.&lt;br /&gt;

==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;font-size:40px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;The Story&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:CaenByEdge.jpg|right|CaenByEdge.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
===The Legacy of C'aseen the Poet===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen's father, known as C'aseen the Poet by his brothers in arms, was a monk in the ranks of the Fists of Rhalgr. At a young age, he abandoned his tribe along with his best friend F'une to study the ways of balance and the fist, and later came to unlock his hidden chakra. Although he claimed to be a pacifist, C'aseen yearned for unmatched power so that he could defend his way of life unopposed, whereas F'une was more aggressive, and fully embraced the way of The Destroyer. C'aseen would make a habit of sharing his small wealth with the less fortunate of Ala Mhigo, and aiding in small jobs among the lower class, behind F'une's back. He would thatch holes in roofs, gather game, and pull caravans himself. He was also known by his spouts of poetry that he would preach about the world and life. It was then, he met a woman named V'ira Tarja and fell madly in love with her. Traditions of his kind be damned, he would spend nights singing ballads to her... not knowing she was fighting feelings for him. Eventually they would come together and sire a white-haired boy who V'ira named Vailyx.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Vailyx, the Swifttail of Ala Mhigo===&lt;br /&gt;
Vailyx grew into a wild-cat like his mother, yet bore the confidence of his father. Fond of all manner of mischief, he grew up alongside his best friend and cousin Tiergan Vashir. Along with Tiergan's sister Lurial, the trio would cast bouts of chaos among the lower levels of Ala Mhigo. Dodoes would suddenly find their pens opened and run through the streets, food from merchant stalls would go missing, and there was even one incident when the three road atop a chocobo taken back from a corrupt tax collector for their neighbor, who was struggling to make ends meet. Vailyx was always there to save his friends from peril, coming out with a bloody nose and a few other bruises; his trade-mark fanged smirk not wavering. He named himself the ''Swifttail'' of Ala Mhigo, claiming it was a title bestowed by the Twelve for his cunning and speed, but in truth, he merely thought it sounded cool and intimidating. At one point, he even dyed his long, white hair into a bright red colour, so that he would look like a fiery comet as he rushed through the streets and rooftops. Their childhood was happy... but it was not to last.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Escape from Ala Mhigo===&lt;br /&gt;
Vailyx was eight years old when the Empire lay waste to Ala Mhigo in their campaign to take over Eorzea. F'une attempted to sneak C'aseen and his family onto a refugee caravan, fleeing the city amongst the chaos. This act cost F'une his life, but ensured his comrade's safety. V'ira's family lost or missing, C'aseen thought it would be best to take his family far from Ala Mhigo and start over, eventually booking them a passage to Limsa Lominsa, the entire journey from Ala Mhigo to Limsa taking two years. It would be there that V'ira bore another child, a small blue-haired boy with amber eyes named Caen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Caen, The Amber Dawn===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen's childhood in Limsa Lominsa was a rather happy one. C'aseen sought to join the ranks of the Maelstrom, the Grand Company of Limsa, and Vailyx sought to become a warrior like his father. This left Caen alone most of the time, when he was able to wander off without V'ira. Caen was the representation of a new and happy life for the four, and a hope for the future. As Caen grew older, he adopted a mixture of his family traits. While his mischief wasn't as grand as Vailyx's schemes back in Ala Mhigo, they often led to street brawls with the local bullies who beat Caen, as he was a miqo'te with the hyuran name. During the brawls, many of the &amp;quot;bullies&amp;quot; came to like the boy, as the miqo'te never fought as if he was fighting for his life and instead fighting for the fun of it. It became clear that it was difficult to become enemies with the boy, and most of his hyran adversaries turned into good friends or friendly rivals. When he wasn't tussling in the lower decks, Caen would climb to the higher towers of Limsa, looking out at the sea to watch his father fish, and see ships come in to port. He came to know almost everyone, as he was quite nosey, and always was willing to lend a helping hand to a downtrodden stranger. V'ira would teach the young kitten to sing, to aid him in his quest to make all strangers happy, but not without warning the boy of the dangers of the world.&lt;br /&gt;
By the time Caen grew to his ninth year, he was already a thorn in his older brother's side. Constantly trying to show Vailyx up was a favorite pastime of his, while Vailyx had grown cold by comparison, still mourning the deaths of his two best friends Tiergan and Lurial. He was well on his way to becoming worthy enough to study in the ways of a Dragoon, which Caen would lovingly attempt to mimic. By Caen's tenth year, Vailyx has sought to forgive himself for not being able to save Tiergan and Lurial, seeing much of his younger self in Caen, who would bring light and joy to his terrible sorrow and cast it aside. For the first time, Caen was able to break through his older brother's cold exterior, and the brothers would bond happily for the next year. Another year passed... and with it, the Grand Companies of Eorzea prepared to meet Nael Van Darnus's VIIth Legion on the fields of Carteneau.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Cruelty of Fate===&lt;br /&gt;
C'aseen and Vailyx had made up their minds to fight alongside the Maelstrom forces at Carteneau. Yet, as Dalamud had lowered closer to Eorzea, Vailyx feared that the battle would not be won, and urged V'ira to take Caen on a ship and flee the continent. Caen took this terribly, and took up his practice lance, trying to fight Vailyx to let him go with them. Vailyx, out of options, slashed the practice lance in half and cut his brother across the cheek in an attempt to make his brother hate him, so that he wouldn't want to join them at Carteneau. Caen, now sporting a nasty cross-shaped wound, flung himself at his brother, understanding his fears and embracing him one last time. Vailyx would hand his mother letters to Caen, and, embracing them one last time, rushed off to join C'aseen at the battle. Caen and V'ira were able to get passage to a ship heading for another continent with other refugees, yet as Dalamud drew ever closer, the captain of their ship, Kruz Rosgaldornyn, revealed his ugly plot to turn the ship towards Ul'dah, and sell everyone aboard as slaves into the Ul'dahn underground black market. Kruz would attempt to seize V'ira and have his way with the miqo'te woman before they arrived, but Caen begged and pleaded him to release her, offering his own life in exchange. A twisted being, Kruz agreed, and took the young lad to his quarters, where he tortured the boy for making him look weak in front of his crew. As the beating grew worse, Caen could not take it anymore and bit the man's ear off. Enraged, Kruz tied the boy down and prepared to cut Caen's tail off. Before the blow was struck, V'ira burst down the door, stunning Kruz with a glass bottle to the face and released Caen. As they rushed to a lifeboat, the waves grew restless and aggressive, and the skies turned violent. Flares rained down from the sky, flinging themselves into the deep ocean. Amidst the chaos, V'ira removed her violet earrings and wrapped them around Vailyx's letters, tucking them into Caen's jacket. She embraced her son for the last time, and the ship was hit by one of Bahamut's flares. Caen was thrust into the air along with debris from the ship, the bodies of refugees, and V'ira. He reached for her, in an attempt to fly towards her again, and screamed her name, just as she was engulfed by flames. Caen hit the water with a terrible force... and fell into the abyss of his mind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Awakening to Null===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen awoke to a warm bed, in the small home of Faust Jabari, a fisherman in Vesper Bay. He had been asleep for nearly a week. When Faust asked the boy his name, the boy could not recall. In fact he knew not who he was, nor where he was... nor why Faust had no tail when the lad had one. Faust attempted to look through the letters Caen had washed ashore with, yet they were almost too water-logged to read. All he could make out is they were addressed to &amp;quot;Caen&amp;quot;... from someone named Vailyx. Taking a shot in the dark, Faust would return Caen's name to him, and gift the lost miqo'te with that of his own surname, &amp;quot;Jabari&amp;quot; until his memories returned. Caen was timid and shy around the other kids in Vesper, while many of them were around their eleventh year, as he was, he felt terrified to be around people. His days were spent trying to piece together who he was, and his nightmares were plagued by a vision of his chasing a red-haired knight with a lance into a blinding horizon, yet he could never catch them. It wasn't until Faust took Caen along with him to trade his wares at Ul'dah, did remnants of himself return.&lt;br /&gt;
Faust briefly left Caen with Momodi of ''The Quicksand'' while he went to trade his wares at market. It was then that Caen witnessed the sorrow of a beautiful lady named Sarisa Clementine. A band of adventurers, her comrades tried anything they could to get her to find hope that her lover had survived the Battle Of Carteneau, but she would turn them away. Caen was overcome with a need to make her smile, and approached her, initiating conversation. Sarisa was so shocked that a mysterious boy would just walk up and chat with her, that she obliged. The two would meet at ''The Quicksand'' and talk often, about Caen's missing memories, and of Sarisa and her love for her fiancee, Lieru. And one day, Caen sang to her... a ballad conjured from the depths of his mind... and for the first time in a long time, she smiled. It was then that Caen decided, it was smiles like hers he wanted to one day protect. And he would be the light in the darkness for those who had lost their own. He dreamt of a world without sorrow, without war or bloodshed, and became determined to become strong enough to herald the arrival of such a world.&lt;br /&gt;
==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;font-size:40px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;After Meteor&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:RainyCaen.jpg|left|RainyCaen.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
===Five Years Later... (2.0)===&lt;br /&gt;
After convincing Faust to journey to Mor Dhona and find his wife Maria, Caen had sang in the streets of Ul'dah for gil, while also finding an opportunity to become a messenger bearing secret letters for groups that would not like to see them taken from moogles. It was Naih'ir Molkot and Momodi of ''The Quicksand'' that would offer Caen a real job, washing dishes and serving the patrons of the inn. During this time, Caen would also find habit of &amp;quot;perching&amp;quot; atop the rails of the room, conversing with strangers and getting them to detail their adventures outside the desert, having no memory of the world beyond. Caen still yearns for a place to call home once again, and prays that the Twelve might offer a hint as to why his memory was taken from him. Still, he wields a confident smirk and a bright yellow attire, in a hope to be a light for everyone and make them smile...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Brave New Realm (2.1)===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen could say his life changed when he met a group of adventurers in the Quicksand. The first man was a Dragoon named Artorias Mason. At first the Huyr was a marvel to behold, capable of endless feats and even more knowledge. He had had everything... and lost it all to the Empire. He was an inspiration... yet darkness existed in the mans heart having lost all he held dear. He denied the Gods existence and placed Caen's undying faith to the Twelve among the ranks of the pathetic; an event that shook the boy to his core and giving him doubt for the first time.  During a trip out to Crescent Cove, Caen and Artorias run in with Garrett Slater, a free-paladin in training. Caen shows them both a crashed Garlean vessel, rusted and long-dead, when they are attacked by a giant yarzon. After defeating the vilekin, Garrett and Artorias meet in private when Caen is suddenly caught in a Garlean ambush. In a narrow victory, the group is able to flee towards Ul'dah to return Caen to the Quicksand. The following day, Caen was approached by a woman named Kelvena, who searches for her father Ikus and his mercenary company Lost Rogues. When she finds out that Caen has never been outside Ul'dah, she, Artorias, and Garrett decide to take the boy to Limsa Lominsa. There, it is revealed that Artorias plans to kill himself after fighting the primals and defeating Gaius von Baelsar. Although Caen pleads with him, Artorias' mind is made up and he eventually leaves. It is then that Kelvena and Garrett take Caen to Gridania... where Caen visits the Lancer's Guild and finds the Last Letter of the Swifttail. These last written words of his older brother, Vailyx ensure that Caen really is Caen, and that he should continue to live his own life as his father and mother had wanted. Still wishing he could remember his family, Caen tries to find solace among his new friends. Artorias senses the boy's strife and bids Kelvena look after Caen like an older sister.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Shards of the Forsaken (2.2)===&lt;br /&gt;
One night, Caen began hearing voices in his head, including images and emotions felt by people he didn't know. This led him to run off into the Gold Court unable to control his own pain. Garrett, Kelvena, and Artorias would try to help Caen... only to be approached by two enigmatic miqo'te. Tiergan Vashir and An'nai came to find Caen, but after Artorias threatened Tiergan, the miqo'te let slip that Caen may, in fact have a shard within him, allowing him to tap into latent power and talk with others over long distances. It was only after Caen got his control over his emotions that Brynhilde Wulf appeared before the lad. After inspecting the boy, she made it clear to everyone that he was not one of the shard bearers... but in his mind, Caen could hear her saying something different. He was a shard-bearer... and a rune slowly affixed itself above Caen's heart.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Seekers (2.3)===&lt;br /&gt;
It was the day when Caen was waiting to be deployed with a handful of other new Flame cadets to the Sagolii desert. The information broker, Lurial Vashir found Caen first and told him the truth. His family was still alive, and his older cousins had survived the moonfall five years ago. Shocked, the miqo'te boy grew quickly attached to both Lurial and Tiergan.&lt;br /&gt;
Caen's Flame deployment also ended quickly, as sand worms attacked the site of the training grounds. With the telepathic assistance from afar through the link, Caen was able to drag the soldier caravan and a few survivors back to Ul'dah. Caen was granted a scout position, which was limited to parcel and supply delivery, if only for the boy's speed and diligence.&lt;br /&gt;
The dark hood of the Entudenin reared its head and began to attack shard-bearers, Caen included. At one point, Caen was pushed off of the high walls of Coerthas by a dark agent of the Entudenin. The boy was paralyzed from the waist down and after three days, was found by Tiergan, who had to fight past two agents to rescue his cousin. Caen was taken to the Shroud for extensive healing and afterwards, found himself hiding from the shard-bearer headquarters, afraid of being attacked by another of the dark hoods.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Taken (2.55)===&lt;br /&gt;
As the moon cycled around the world over and over, Caen took up his old errand-tail ways by delivering letters for different people in Ul'dah, and occasionally the other nations of Eorzea. However, due to the sensitive information he unwittingly carried, he was made a target by the Syndicate agents after he was seen handing over letters addressed to the Sultana. On the night where the Eorzean Alliance were greeting the ambassadors from Ishgard, fighting began to break out in the city. Caen was chased by a few of the brass blades through the Gold Court, and nearly made it to the Royal Promenade, where he was knocked out by an ambush. Caen was imprisoned, and then sold into a slave ring with the rest of the prisoners that sat in the Ul'dahn cells. &lt;br /&gt;
==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;font-size:40px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Heavensward&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:CaenBard.jpg|left|CaenBard.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
=== These Eyes of Mine (3.1)===&lt;br /&gt;
It was soon discovered that Caen had been sold to an illegal gladiator ring where slaves were matched against each other for fictional lands and titles in a game played by the nobility of Ul'dah. The boy was forced to surrender his self-made vows to never take a life, as some fights in the ring were kill or be killed. His only possessions were a wicked pair of twin daggers that he was taught to use by another fellow slave named Yae. After numerous attempts to escape and push letters from windows, Lurial Vashir and a number of brave souls, including her brother Tiergan, were able to locate Caen and organized an assault on the ringleader's mansion. Only known as her moniker, &amp;quot;The Woman&amp;quot;, Caen's master threw all of her slaves and guards at the band of rescuers and even drugged Caen and set him upon his former friends. Caen was rendered unconscious during the fight and taken to the Forgotten Springs for healing and rest. After waking up, Caen felt terrified to meet his cousins and friends again. He perceived his soul and eyes to be stained with the lives he was forced to take during his time as a gladiator. For the time being, he subtly struggles to continue wearing the mask of unbridled happiness just as he did before. The lad now carries a pain in his heart and wonders if he even deserves to live after betraying his promise to never stain his hands with blood. In spite of his inner turmoil, he made preparations to become an adventurer himself and sought employment in Ishgard, recently united with the Eorzean Alliance. Employed as a supply runner for Betelgeuse Bordeaux's Button Shoppe, Caen finds himself working early mornings; running across the realm to spread elaborate buttons to the rest of Eorzea's markets and weaver guilds. The lad spends alot of time in the Quicksand, stashing away his earned gil to fund an expedition to the mysteries of the northern lands where the lost boy hopes to find himself again.&lt;br /&gt;
=== Menphina's Blessing (3.2)===&lt;br /&gt;
Shortly after Bordeaux's business really took off, Caen stepped away from the company to focus more on himself, traveling though Dravania for a spell. He was plagued by nightmares of the blood he had been forced to spill on the gladiator ring and it seemed that the blood would never wash off. He encountered Tailfeather and for a brief period, enjoyed a time watching the wild chocobo and (if Caen is to be believed) played hide and seek with young dragons. He also experienced flight for the first time, working alongside Vath and their newly formed guild, he flew atop a Kongamoto. He spent alot of time racing through the trees atop the strange creature and experienced bliss for the first time in moons. It was around this time, after returning to Ul'dah, he befriended a keeper of the moon named Kiht'a Zajhiri. He and Kiht'a both shared age and a similar pattern in their pasts. After a few meetings, the friendship developed into a young romance. Although Khit'a had expressed his desire to be open with their relationship, even Caen could not deny how fascinated he was with the keeper and spent as much time with Kiht'a as he could. The two did nearly everything together and shared a room in the Goblet for a time. Caen subconsciously felt at home and loved for the first time, feeling his hidden sadness and loneliness drift away. He developed confidence as a mate and wished to become a stronger person for Kiht'a, who was skilled as a hunter. The seeker took it upon himself to practice archery and set his blood-stained daggers aside. He departed for the Shroud for pets to bring back to his partner as a surprise, but could not have foreseen the adventure he would become tangled up in.&lt;br /&gt;
=== Ballad of the Scarlet Devil (3.3)===&lt;br /&gt;
Deep amidst the Shroud, Caen stalked creatures of the forest, tapping into his hunting instinct as a seeker miqo'te. After a few pelts had been gathered and meat taken, the miqo'te found himself upon a lone lalafel who was strumming a lyre in the most hauntingly beautiful fashion. The notes echoed in Caen's heart and soul and seemed to vibrate every branch in their vicinity. A mist descended around them, and from the small being's lyre, came aetherial light. Without warning, a band of men cloaked in red rushed towards the lalafel. Caen shouted for the lalafel, who stopped playing and readied a bow for battle while Caen fired shots from his own bow from the bushes. The men dead, the enigmatic lalafel introduced himself as Rojiko Tojiko, claiming he was sent from Dravania to stop a ritual that would summon a voidsent lord. He also claimed that his melody lulled disturbed souls back to sleep, for if all of them were to awaken, a terrible darkness would be wrought across the realm. The men in red traveled to several areas of the Shroud corrupting aether, causing discord with the Elementals, and upon chanting an ancient ballad, they hoped to summon Forenzikon the Purge, who would bathe the lands in an azure light, dispelling the Elemental balance forever. Caen did not hesitate to join Rojiko and the two set off to purify the Shroud. Caen explained how he had felt when Rojiko played his melody and the lalafel took notice of Caen's gift for song as they walked together. Before they slept, Rojiko showed the miqo'te how to play the lute, but commented on how Caen could never hope to play with such power without a soulstone. Even still, Caen was happy to learn Rojiko's many tools of the trade: Trick arrows, poison arrowheads, along with a few songs to play, should Caen ever obtain a lute of his own. Between fending off the red-cloaked men, Rojiko putting disturbed spirits to rest with song, and campfire tales, Caen hardly noticed weeks go by. In was before the final spirit could be laid to rest that the two were ambushed by Coeurlclaw bandits. Outnumbered, Caen and Rojiko were captured and the lalafel was gravely wounded. They begged to be freed as to prevent the voidsent from being awoken and Rojiko, out of desperation, finally persuaded the leader of the band to be able to entertain them all with a song. With a strange magic, the small bard lulled them all to sleep. He and Caen escaped, making great haste to the final resting place. Caen made use of every trick he had been taught, covering Rojiko to his last arrow as the lalafel played his final song. The trees shook as the spirit of the voidsent vanished and upon strumming his last string, Rojiko dropped to his knees. After dressing each others wounds and enjoying their victroy, Rojiko asked Caen to travel back to Dravania with him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

==Character Connections==&lt;br /&gt;
There are an abundance of souls who may have crossed paths with Caen as they live in Eorzea~&lt;br /&gt;
::* Anyone who has lived in Ul'Dah for the last 2-3 years would've seen him working at ''The Quicksand.''&lt;br /&gt;
::* He's also a well-known messenger, running parcels across Thanalan for the past 3 years. It's possible you enlisted his services.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Anyone who had resided in Vesper Bay or Crescent Cove in the last 5 years.&lt;br /&gt;
::* It's possible you have seen him honing his skill in the Pugilist's Guild in Ul'dah.&lt;br /&gt;
::* He may have bugged you about your adventures or asked you if you were alright if you wandered into ''The Quicksand'' looking broody.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Although rare, it is also possible you heard him singing in the streets of Ul'dah. His favorite spots were The Gold Court, near the Thaumaturge's Guild, and the Hustling Strip.&lt;br /&gt;

==Trivia &amp;amp; Misc==&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen will sometimes make subtle references to Final Fantasy IX.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen's songs are Final Fantasy songs given lyrics by Katethegreat19 on Youtube. He will often recall that a mysterious bard taught him these songs. All other songs or ballads are original pieces.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen is unofficially voiced by Antony Del Rio.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen will often be played with techno/dance/hip hop music in the background and his soundtrack depicts songs of this genre. Examples include artists like Imagine Dragons, Eiffel 65, and the soundtrack from the Persona series of games, just to name a few. This is a reference to Vysce's favorite music as a child.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen's desire to &amp;quot;protect everyone's smiles&amp;quot; is a reference to the Kamen Rider series, particularly Kamen Rider OOO.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen's patron deity Azeyma is close to the word Asthma, which Caen's player was temporarily sick with while creating Caen.&lt;br /&gt;
::* All of Caen's family have lighter-colored hair, with him and his father having the only dark hair amongst their relatives. This is an allusion to Caen's player's (Vysce) actual family where the entire family is composed of people with blond hair, save for Vysce, who was born blond yet later grew dark mahogany.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Sarisa and Lieru are from a love-story, rped by Caen's player in ''Guild Wars 2''. Lieru is also the first character he ever created.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen's yellow eyes are a tip of the hat to his player's time rping in ''Star Wars: The Old Republic'' where he wielded a yellow lightsaber.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen will often sing &amp;quot;Fish! Fish! Fish!&amp;quot; when offered a cooked fish. This is a reference to the champion Fizz from ''League of Legends.''&lt;br /&gt;
::* The lad's theme is the &amp;quot;Netsky&amp;quot; remix of the song ''Finale'' by Madeon. When dueling him, a faster version of the song will play. His other themes include ''I'm Alive'' by Becca, and ''New Divide'' by Linkin Park.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen is always 100% IC, even when out leveling. SO if you see him, don't hesitate to say hello!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;''&amp;quot;Believe in me, for my resolve does not waver, nor can it be fractured.&amp;quot; ~Vailyx the Swifttail''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Caen Jabari''' is a young miqo'te who was found washed ashore in Vesper Bay on the day of the Great Calamity. Caen remembered nothing of his first eleven years, and woke up to a world he did not remember living in. All he had on him, besides the tattered rags that covered his body, were water-logged letters addressed to &amp;quot;Caen&amp;quot; from an older brother &amp;quot;Vailyx&amp;quot; and held together by a pair of violet earrings. Thankfully, the kinder fisherman, Faust Jabari was able to find the young miqo'te and semi-raised the boy to be able to live on his own. After five years, not only has Eorzea changed, but so has the young seeker of the sun.&lt;br /&gt;

===Appearance===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;You may be Ul'dah's desert canary, but you bear the heart of the phoenix, Caen.  You can always reignite and fly again.&amp;quot;'' ~Tiergan Vashir&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caen sports a wide-eyed, youthful face with bronzed skin due to living under the desert sun for years. Although he's lived in Ul'dah in the summers he remembers, Caen sports a slight Lominsan accent due to being raised in the city beside the Rhotano. His eyes are a bright amber and his large canines tend to show when he grins with his teeth. The lad also sports a shaggy mane of royal blue hair that would attempt to curl inwards over his face, yet it is mostly kept covered by a light head-wrapping. On his left cheek, he bears a X-shaped scar. Caen is best well known by his choice of attire; his bright yellow-coloured garb, to show off his love for the sunlight. His favorite articles of clothing usually include loose sarouel and leather boots or crakows. He prefers loose, billowy shirts in lieu of proper button-downs and is prone to sleeve-less vests and sometimes revealing chest pieces.                                                                 &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
===Personality===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:CaenJabari.jpg|left|CaenJabari.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
Caen is wild and carefree making him a perfect candidate for odd jobs through-out Thanalan and Ul'dah herself. A friend to everyone, the boy is cheerful and will rarely hesitate to chat up a stranger. His favorite pastime is residing within ''The Quicksand'' to watch the comings and goings of adventurers, occasionally prodding them for tales of their adventures outside the desert. This inspired him to finally leave Ul'dah to experience adventures of his own. Prone to mischief and hardly watching where he steps, Caen often finds himself in troublesome situations and relies on his quick-thinking and unorthodox methods of survival. The miqo'te is always in high-spirits and is at his best around friends, to whom he is very loyal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;font-size:40px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Martial Arts&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
===Fighting Style===&lt;br /&gt;
::*Caen is naturally gifted with hand-to-hand combat, but is clumsy as a toddler when it comes to a sword. During his childhood in Limsa Lominsa, he was often made fun of for his Hyuran name, which led to many street brawls with the local bullies. He taught himself how to punch, kick, and dodge out of attacks when overwhelmed, becoming effective at fighting many targets at once.&lt;br /&gt;
::*When his brother Vailyx began to take up the art of the Lance, Caen naturally went out and carved his own pole-arm out of a fallen tree branch to teach himself to do that as well, desiring skills better than his perfect brother. Vailyx was never to busy to show Caen up and belittle the boy on his flawed techniques, yet managed to teach him proper form over the course of three years. By berating his younger brother on what not to do, he effectively taught him how to use the lance as an extension of his arm. And although Caen was never old enough to leave Limsa and study the lance abroad, Vailyx was secretly proud of Caen.&lt;br /&gt;
::*Caen continued to pave his way through the Thanalan with his fists after he had awoken from losing his memory. After saving his foster-father, Faust, from a yarzon swarm a month after awakening, he took Caen  to the Pugilist's Guild within Ul'dah, where the boy would hone his skills. While mostly his training pertained of running errands for the Holyfist, Hamon, Caen did occasionally teach himself a less-clumsy fighting style after watching the students spar.&lt;br /&gt;
::*Caen often speaks of how beautiful and interesting he believes swords to be, but he cannot properly wield one on his own. When he does, he finds the blade &amp;quot;rejecting&amp;quot; him. Still he finds them incredibly intriguing.&lt;br /&gt;
::*Recently, the yellow-clad miqo'te has shown an impressive form using twin daggers. His agility from his training under Hamon and acrobatic nature have benefitted him greatly in close-quarters combat.&lt;br /&gt;

===Aliases/Nicknames===&lt;br /&gt;
::* '''Canary''': After many attempts to get the lonely adventurer Sarisa Clementine to smile, Caen finally succeeded after singing a ballad to her one morning. She smiled for the first time in two years, since Carteneau, and called him her Canary. It has become a rare nickname for Caen, as few know of it, yet he will cherish it forever. It was also a name called to him by his mother, V'ira, when she taught him to sing as a child.&lt;br /&gt;
::* '''Chocobo''': Called this by his close friends, Caen is often compared to the yellow flightless bird of Eorzea, due to his bright yellow choice of clothing.&lt;br /&gt;
::* '''Blue Wolf''': Only the residents of Vesper Bay would call Caen by such. Once when he was skinny-dipping in the Bay, a group of bullies thought it would be funny to steal his clothes. Stark-naked, Caen stealthily tried to make it back to Faust's house to no avail, as the streets were rather crowded. He soon came across a pail of blue paint, and, seeing it as his only option, dumped it all over himself. He would then dart through the streets, on all fours, to Faust's home, terrifying the citizenry who lay sight to the &amp;quot;Blue Wolf Monster&amp;quot;. After Faust explained the truth to everyone to avoid panic, it became a running gag within the small town's residents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;  font-size:30px;  color:#FFFFFF&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Relationships&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
===Family===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Father: C'aseen the Poet, ''deceased''&lt;br /&gt;
::* Mother: V'ira Tarja, ''deceased''&lt;br /&gt;
::* Older Brother: Vailyx the Swifttail, ''missing in action''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Foster Father: Faust Jabari, A hyuran fisherman and resident of Vesper Bay. He was fishing off the coast of Crescent Cove when he noticed a small boy clinging to a large piece of driftwood in the sea. He became Caen's foster father, and attempted to teach Caen the ways of the world the boy had forgotten about.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Cousin: '''[[Tiergan Vashir]]''', One of Caen's only living blood-relatives. Since he learned that Caen is his long-lost cousin, Teigan is fiercely protective of the lad, trying to be the brother Vailyx would have been to Caen. Caen loves his cousin dearly, and often tries to act out to make the older miqo'te proud of him. Caen, unbeknownst to Tiergan, would often stalk his cousin in order to study him and adopt his mannerisms. Still, much of Tiergan's past is a mystery to Caen, as the boy is unsure whether it is inappropriate to ask. Even still, friends often mistake Tiergan and Caen for brothers, and the two would go along with it, as Caen feels that Tiergan is a great older brother, in Vailyx's absence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Cousin: '''[[Lurial Vashir]]''', One of Caen's only living blood-relatives. Luri was able to track down the youngest son of her aunt V'ira to the streets of Ul'dah. When she connected the dots, she came to Caen and revealed the truth to him. While Caen hides inner worry of being apart of a family again, he cannot help but feel at home again, in a place where he belongs. Until her recent disappearance, Caen had stayed in her home in the city of Ul'dah... now Caen searches for his cousin hoping to reunite them again as she once did for him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Bodyguard: '''[[Furious Storm]]''', The bodyguard of Lurial Vashir, Caen and &amp;quot;Fury&amp;quot; instantly became best friends when Caen decided to break the shyness between them by bringing the roegadyn a warm apple tart after his first night at Lurial's home. Now the two are basically inseparable, and Caen never forgets to bring the large mute treats from around Thanalan. While he did vanish around the same time as Lurial, he still sends him treats and candy via moogle post, as they can apparently track the roegadyn better than Caen could.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Friends===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caen has had the fortune of meeting all kinds of souls by hanging near ''The Quicksand'' after leaving Vesper Bay when Faust journeyed to Mor Dhona to find his wife, Maria. Some have touched his lives more than others and even after quitting his job serving patrons for Momodi, he still eats most of his meals there and hangs around for a good while after. Being the jewel of the sand, Ul'dah is frequented by many and Caen makes a good attempt to meet them all, offering strangers a friendly flap of his ears and a story exchange to boot.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
((friend's list coming soon T-T))&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Chocobos===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen has always had a great affinity for befriending chocobos. He often wished to become a chocobo porter or breeder when he was younger. Some will find he actually talks to them. In moments of stress, the lad will often wander near chocobos and pet/talk to them. Since the birds seem to enjoy his company, many nearby porters or breeders don't mind his presence. It's not entirely sure if Caen wears yellow to display his love for chocobos or for the sun, since he favors both. Yet when asked, he will mention that he might favor chocobos more because you can't hug the sun. He dreams of having a chocobo of his own someday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Enemies===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caen doesn't have any real enemies that he knows of. He has lived an honest life and cannot hold a grudge to save it. Even when disrespected or belittled by an individual, he is quick to forgive all after sleeping it off, and greets them the next day, cheerful as ever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;font-size:40px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Rumours&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:PeekingCaen.jpg|center|PeekingCaen.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
===Common Rumors===&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;That there is the boy who works at Momodi's place, wiv ol' Naih'ir... the one who's always on them rails. I dunno how'ee does it, but his smile sure brightens up a room!&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;What sort of fool wears such bright yellow? If I wore such on the frontlines, archers would have me dead in seconds. If you ask me, he's just asking for death.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;Such a cutie... but what sort of name is Caen for a miqo'te? Doesn't he respect his own kind?&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moderate Rumors===&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;Shhh, don't stare... that's the boy who was kidnapped. The one by that ruffian Cade... the poor dear must've been so frightened.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot; Hah! Y'know Momodi won't let him drink? Says he's too young fer such things... but I saw him get a good boxin' 'round the ears last time he was sniffin' 'round it! Haw Haw Haw!&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;That little shite ate all my fish! Orphans... hate their scum!&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Rare Rumors===&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot; I heard him sing once, yes. It was so beautiful... but so sad. You could almost feel as if there was some pain in his heart... his very soul.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot; Didn't y'know? 'ee can't remember a lick o' who he was b'fore the moon fell them years ago. Poor bloke. Must be lonely, havin' no-one to hold yeh.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;Calls himself the 'errand-tail' of the Sultana... he's the one Raubahn trusts with those letters. Sometimes I wonder what's in them, but it seems he doesn't know himself. Best not to dwell on such things.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;They were carrying the little lad in from the Shroud. You should have heard his breathing; I was so afraid for him. A monster? No... they say it was one of those Warriors. Are even our children unsafe?&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===PC Rumors===&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;You know he's a kind little guy, he'll just brush it off until he really gets hurt. I'm gonna find Art asleep someplace and stab him between the ribs. See how he likes it.&amp;quot;'' -- [[Augustine Frost]]&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;Caen?  That's my younger cousin - honest, brave, and constantly getting into trouble.  He's always working to try and become a 'hero' like the rest of us, but he doesn't seem to realise he's already a strong, courageous spirit.  His elder brother Vailyx would be proud of him...&amp;quot;'' -- [[Tiergan Vashir]]&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;If there should be one person in the entirety of Hydaelyn that I wholeheartedly trust, 'tis Caen.

[[File:CaenByEdge.jpg|right|CaenByEdge.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
===The Legacy of C'aseen the Poet===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen's father, known as C'aseen the Poet by his brothers in arms, was a monk in the ranks of the Fists of Rhalgr. At a young age, he abandoned his tribe along with his best friend F'une to study the ways of balance and the fist, and later came to unlock his hidden chakra. Although he claimed to be a pacifist, C'aseen yearned for unmatched power so that he could defend his way of life unopposed, whereas F'une was more aggressive, and fully embraced the way of The Destroyer. C'aseen would make a habit of sharing his small wealth with the less fortunate of Ala Mhigo, and aiding in small jobs among the lower class, behind F'une's back. He would thatch holes in roofs, gather game, and pull caravans himself. He was also known by his spouts of poetry that he would preach about the world and life. It was then, he met a woman named V'ira Tarja and fell madly in love with her. Traditions of his kind be damned, he would spend nights singing ballads to her... not knowing she was fighting feelings for him. Eventually they would come together and sire a white-haired boy who V'ira named Vailyx.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Vailyx, the Swifttail of Ala Mhigo===&lt;br /&gt;
Vailyx grew into a wild-cat like his mother, yet bore the confidence of his father. Fond of all manner of mischief, he grew up alongside his best friend and cousin Tiergan Vashir. Along with Tiergan's sister Lurial, the trio would cast bouts of chaos among the lower levels of Ala Mhigo. Dodoes would suddenly find their pens opened and run through the streets, food from merchant stalls would go missing, and there was even one incident when the three road atop a chocobo taken back from a corrupt tax collector for their neighbor, who was struggling to make ends meet. Vailyx was always there to save his friends from peril, coming out with a bloody nose and a few other bruises; his trade-mark fanged smirk not wavering. He named himself the ''Swifttail'' of Ala Mhigo, claiming it was a title bestowed by the Twelve for his cunning and speed, but in truth, he merely thought it sounded cool and intimidating. At one point, he even dyed his long, white hair into a bright red colour, so that he would look like a fiery comet as he rushed through the streets and rooftops. Their childhood was happy... but it was not to last.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Escape from Ala Mhigo===&lt;br /&gt;
Vailyx was eight years old when the Empire lay waste to Ala Mhigo in their campaign to take over Eorzea. F'une attempted to sneak C'aseen and his family onto a refugee caravan, fleeing the city amongst the chaos. This act cost F'une his life, but ensured his comrade's safety. V'ira's family lost or missing, C'aseen thought it would be best to take his family far from Ala Mhigo and start over, eventually booking them a passage to Limsa Lominsa, the entire journey from Ala Mhigo to Limsa taking two years. It would be there that V'ira bore another child, a small blue-haired boy with amber eyes named Caen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Caen, The Amber Dawn===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen's childhood in Limsa Lominsa was a rather happy one. C'aseen sought to join the ranks of the Maelstrom, the Grand Company of Limsa, and Vailyx sought to become a warrior like his father. This left Caen alone most of the time, when he was able to wander off without V'ira. Caen was the representation of a new and happy life for the four, and a hope for the future. As Caen grew older, he adopted a mixture of his family traits. While his mischief wasn't as grand as Vailyx's schemes back in Ala Mhigo, they often led to street brawls with the local bullies who beat Caen, as he was a miqo'te with the hyuran name. During the brawls, many of the &amp;quot;bullies&amp;quot; came to like the boy, as the miqo'te never fought as if he was fighting for his life and instead fighting for the fun of it. It became clear that it was difficult to become enemies with the boy, and most of his hyran adversaries turned into good friends or friendly rivals. When he wasn't tussling in the lower decks, Caen would climb to the higher towers of Limsa, looking out at the sea to watch his father fish, and see ships come in to port. He came to know almost everyone, as he was quite nosey, and always was willing to lend a helping hand to a downtrodden stranger. V'ira would teach the young kitten to sing, to aid him in his quest to make all strangers happy, but not without warning the boy of the dangers of the world.&lt;br /&gt;
By the time Caen grew to his ninth year, he was already a thorn in his older brother's side. Constantly trying to show Vailyx up was a favorite pastime of his, while Vailyx had grown cold by comparison, still mourning the deaths of his two best friends Tiergan and Lurial. He was well on his way to becoming worthy enough to study in the ways of a Dragoon, which Caen would lovingly attempt to mimic. By Caen's tenth year, Vailyx has sought to forgive himself for not being able to save Tiergan and Lurial, seeing much of his younger self in Caen, who would bring light and joy to his terrible sorrow and cast it aside. For the first time, Caen was able to break through his older brother's cold exterior, and the brothers would bond happily for the next year. Another year passed... and with it, the Grand Companies of Eorzea prepared to meet Nael Van Darnus's VIIth Legion on the fields of Carteneau.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Cruelty of Fate===&lt;br /&gt;
C'aseen and Vailyx had made up their minds to fight alongside the Maelstrom forces at Carteneau. Yet, as Dalamud had lowered closer to Eorzea, Vailyx feared that the battle would not be won, and urged V'ira to take Caen on a ship and flee the continent. Caen took this terribly, and took up his practice lance, trying to fight Vailyx to let him go with them. Vailyx, out of options, slashed the practice lance in half and cut his brother across the cheek in an attempt to make his brother hate him, so that he wouldn't want to join them at Carteneau. Caen, now sporting a nasty cross-shaped wound, flung himself at his brother, understanding his fears and embracing him one last time. Vailyx would hand his mother letters to Caen, and, embracing them one last time, rushed off to join C'aseen at the battle. Caen and V'ira were able to get passage to a ship heading for another continent with other refugees, yet as Dalamud drew ever closer, the captain of their ship, Kruz Rosgaldornyn, revealed his ugly plot to turn the ship towards Ul'dah, and sell everyone aboard as slaves into the Ul'dahn underground black market. Kruz would attempt to seize V'ira and have his way with the miqo'te woman before they arrived, but Caen begged and pleaded him to release her, offering his own life in exchange. A twisted being, Kruz agreed, and took the young lad to his quarters, where he tortured the boy for making him look weak in front of his crew. As the beating grew worse, Caen could not take it anymore and bit the man's ear off. Enraged, Kruz tied the boy down and prepared to cut Caen's tail off. Before the blow was struck, V'ira burst down the door, stunning Kruz with a glass bottle to the face and released Caen. As they rushed to a lifeboat, the waves grew restless and aggressive, and the skies turned violent. Flares rained down from the sky, flinging themselves into the deep ocean. Amidst the chaos, V'ira removed her violet earrings and wrapped them around Vailyx's letters, tucking them into Caen's jacket. She embraced her son for the last time, and the ship was hit by one of Bahamut's flares. Caen was thrust into the air along with debris from the ship, the bodies of refugees, and V'ira. He reached for her, in an attempt to fly towards her again, and screamed her name, just as she was engulfed by flames. Caen hit the water with a terrible force... and fell into the abyss of his mind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Awakening to Null===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen awoke to a warm bed, in the small home of Faust Jabari, a fisherman in Vesper Bay. He had been asleep for nearly a week. When Faust asked the boy his name, the boy could not recall. In fact he knew not who he was, nor where he was... nor why Faust had no tail when the lad had one. Faust attempted to look through the letters Caen had washed ashore with, yet they were almost too water-logged to read. All he could make out is they were addressed to &amp;quot;Caen&amp;quot;... from someone named Vailyx. Taking a shot in the dark, Faust would return Caen's name to him, and gift the lost miqo'te with that of his own surname, &amp;quot;Jabari&amp;quot; until his memories returned. Caen was timid and shy around the other kids in Vesper, while many of them were around their eleventh year, as he was, he felt terrified to be around people. His days were spent trying to piece together who he was, and his nightmares were plagued by a vision of his chasing a red-haired knight with a lance into a blinding horizon, yet he could never catch them. It wasn't until Faust took Caen along with him to trade his wares at Ul'dah, did remnants of himself return.&lt;br /&gt;
Faust briefly left Caen with Momodi of ''The Quicksand'' while he went to trade his wares at market. It was then that Caen witnessed the sorrow of a beautiful lady named Sarisa Clementine. A band of adventurers, her comrades tried anything they could to get her to find hope that her lover had survived the Battle Of Carteneau, but she would turn them away. Caen was overcome with a need to make her smile, and approached her, initiating conversation. Sarisa was so shocked that a mysterious boy would just walk up and chat with her, that she obliged. The two would meet at ''The Quicksand'' and talk often, about Caen's missing memories, and of Sarisa and her love for her fiancee, Lieru. And one day, Caen sang to her... a ballad conjured from the depths of his mind... and for the first time in a long time, she smiled. It was then that Caen decided, it was smiles like hers he wanted to one day protect. And he would be the light in the darkness for those who had lost their own. He dreamt of a world without sorrow, without war or bloodshed, and became determined to become strong enough to herald the arrival of such a world.&lt;br /&gt;
==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;font-size:40px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;After Meteor&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:RainyCaen.jpg|left|RainyCaen.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
===Five Years Later... (2.0)===&lt;br /&gt;
After convincing Faust to journey to Mor Dhona and find his wife Maria, Caen had sang in the streets of Ul'dah for gil, while also finding an opportunity to become a messenger bearing secret letters for groups that would not like to see them taken from moogles. It was Naih'ir Molkot and Momodi of ''The Quicksand'' that would offer Caen a real job, washing dishes and serving the patrons of the inn. During this time, Caen would also find habit of &amp;quot;perching&amp;quot; atop the rails of the room, conversing with strangers and getting them to detail their adventures outside the desert, having no memory of the world beyond. Caen still yearns for a place to call home once again, and prays that the Twelve might offer a hint as to why his memory was taken from him. Still, he wields a confident smirk and a bright yellow attire, in a hope to be a light for everyone and make them smile...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Brave New Realm (2.1)===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen could say his life changed when he met a group of adventurers in the Quicksand. The first man was a Dragoon named Artorias Mason. At first the Huyr was a marvel to behold, capable of endless feats and even more knowledge. He had had everything... and lost it all to the Empire. He was an inspiration... yet darkness existed in the mans heart having lost all he held dear. He denied the Gods existence and placed Caen's undying faith to the Twelve among the ranks of the pathetic; an event that shook the boy to his core and giving him doubt for the first time.  During a trip out to Crescent Cove, Caen and Artorias run in with Garrett Slater, a free-paladin in training. Caen shows them both a crashed Garlean vessel, rusted and long-dead, when they are attacked by a giant yarzon. After defeating the vilekin, Garrett and Artorias meet in private when Caen is suddenly caught in a Garlean ambush. In a narrow victory, the group is able to flee towards Ul'dah to return Caen to the Quicksand. The following day, Caen was approached by a woman named Kelvena, who searches for her father Ikus and his mercenary company Lost Rogues. When she finds out that Caen has never been outside Ul'dah, she, Artorias, and Garrett decide to take the boy to Limsa Lominsa. There, it is revealed that Artorias plans to kill himself after fighting the primals and defeating Gaius von Baelsar. Although Caen pleads with him, Artorias' mind is made up and he eventually leaves. It is then that Kelvena and Garrett take Caen to Gridania... where Caen visits the Lancer's Guild and finds the Last Letter of the Swifttail. These last written words of his older brother, Vailyx ensure that Caen really is Caen, and that he should continue to live his own life as his father and mother had wanted. Still wishing he could remember his family, Caen tries to find solace among his new friends. Artorias senses the boy's strife and bids Kelvena look after Caen like an older sister.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Shards of the Forsaken (2.2)===&lt;br /&gt;
One night, Caen began hearing voices in his head, including images and emotions felt by people he didn't know. This led him to run off into the Gold Court unable to control his own pain. Garrett, Kelvena, and Artorias would try to help Caen... only to be approached by two enigmatic miqo'te. Tiergan Vashir and An'nai came to find Caen, but after Artorias threatened Tiergan, the miqo'te let slip that Caen may, in fact have a shard within him, allowing him to tap into latent power and talk with others over long distances. It was only after Caen got his control over his emotions that Brynhilde Wulf appeared before the lad. After inspecting the boy, she made it clear to everyone that he was not one of the shard bearers... but in his mind, Caen could hear her saying something different. He was a shard-bearer... and a rune slowly affixed itself above Caen's heart.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Seekers (2.3)===&lt;br /&gt;
It was the day when Caen was waiting to be deployed with a handful of other new Flame cadets to the Sagolii desert. The information broker, Lurial Vashir found Caen first and told him the truth. His family was still alive, and his older cousins had survived the moonfall five years ago. Shocked, the miqo'te boy grew quickly attached to both Lurial and Tiergan.&lt;br /&gt;
Caen's Flame deployment also ended quickly, as sand worms attacked the site of the training grounds. With the telepathic assistance from afar through the link, Caen was able to drag the soldier caravan and a few survivors back to Ul'dah. Caen was granted a scout position, which was limited to parcel and supply delivery, if only for the boy's speed and diligence.&lt;br /&gt;
The dark hood of the Entudenin reared its head and began to attack shard-bearers, Caen included. At one point, Caen was pushed off of the high walls of Coerthas by a dark agent of the Entudenin. The boy was paralyzed from the waist down and after three days, was found by Tiergan, who had to fight past two agents to rescue his cousin. Caen was taken to the Shroud for extensive healing and afterwards, found himself hiding from the shard-bearer headquarters, afraid of being attacked by another of the dark hoods.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Taken (2.55)===&lt;br /&gt;
As the moon cycled around the world over and over, Caen took up his old errand-tail ways by delivering letters for different people in Ul'dah, and occasionally the other nations of Eorzea. However, due to the sensitive information he unwittingly carried, he was made a target by the Syndicate agents after he was seen handing over letters addressed to the Sultana. On the night where the Eorzean Alliance were greeting the ambassadors from Ishgard, fighting began to break out in the city. Caen was chased by a few of the brass blades through the Gold Court, and nearly made it to the Royal Promenade, where he was knocked out by an ambush. Caen was imprisoned, and then sold into a slave ring with the rest of the prisoners that sat in the Ul'dahn cells. &lt;br /&gt;
==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;font-size:40px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Heavensward&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:CaenBard.jpg|left|CaenBard.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
=== These Eyes of Mine (3.1)===&lt;br /&gt;
It was soon discovered that Caen had been sold to an illegal gladiator ring where slaves were matched against each other for fictional lands and titles in a game played by the nobility of Ul'dah. The boy was forced to surrender his self-made vows to never take a life, as some fights in the ring were kill or be killed. His only possessions were a wicked pair of twin daggers that he was taught to use by another fellow slave named Yae. After numerous attempts to escape and push letters from windows, Lurial Vashir and a number of brave souls, including her brother Tiergan, were able to locate Caen and organized an assault on the ringleader's mansion. Only known as her moniker, &amp;quot;The Woman&amp;quot;, Caen's master threw all of her slaves and guards at the band of rescuers and even drugged Caen and set him upon his former friends. Caen was rendered unconscious during the fight and taken to the Forgotten Springs for healing and rest. After waking up, Caen felt terrified to meet his cousins and friends again. He perceived his soul and eyes to be stained with the lives he was forced to take during his time as a gladiator. For the time being, he subtly struggles to continue wearing the mask of unbridled happiness just as he did before. The lad now carries a pain in his heart and wonders if he even deserves to live after betraying his promise to never stain his hands with blood. In spite of his inner turmoil, he made preparations to become an adventurer himself and sought employment in Ishgard, recently united with the Eorzean Alliance. Employed as a supply runner for Betelgeuse Bordeaux's Button Shoppe, Caen finds himself working early mornings; running across the realm to spread elaborate buttons to the rest of Eorzea's markets and weaver guilds. The lad spends alot of time in the Quicksand, stashing away his earned gil to fund an expedition to the mysteries of the northern lands where the lost boy hopes to find himself again.&lt;br /&gt;
=== Menphina's Blessing (3.2)===&lt;br /&gt;
Shortly after Bordeaux's business really took off, Caen stepped away from the company to focus more on himself. He was plagued by nightmares of the blood he had been forced to spill on the gladiator ring. It seemed that the blood would never wash off. It was around this time, he befriended a keeper of the moon named Kiht'a Zajhiri. He and Kiht'a both shared age and a similar pattern in their pasts. After a few meetings, the friendship developed into a young romance. Although Khit'a had expressed his desire to be open with their relationship, even Caen could not deny how fascinated he was with the keeper and spent as much time with Kiht'a as he could. The two did nearly everything together and shared a room in the Goblet for a time. Caen subconsciously felt at home and loved for the first time, feeling his hidden sadness and loneliness drift away. He developed confidence as a mate and wished to become a stronger person for Kiht'a, who was skilled as a hunter. The seeker took it upon himself to practice archery and set his blood-stained daggers aside. He departed for the Shroud for pets to bring back to his partner as a surprise, but could not have foreseen the adventure he would become tangled up in.&lt;br /&gt;

::* Anyone who has lived in Ul'Dah for the last 2-3 years would've seen him working at ''The Quicksand.''&lt;br /&gt;
::* He's also a well-known messenger, running parcels across Thanalan for the past 3 years. It's possible you enlisted his services.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Anyone who had resided in Vesper Bay or Crescent Cove in the last 5 years.&lt;br /&gt;

::* He may have bugged you about your adventures or asked you if you were alright if you wandered into ''The Quicksand'' looking broody.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Although rare, it is also possible you heard him singing in the streets of Ul'dah. His favorite spots were The Gold Court, near the Thaumaturge's Guild, and the Hustling Strip.&lt;br /&gt;

==Trivia &amp;amp; Misc==&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen will sometimes make subtle references to Final Fantasy IX.&lt;br /&gt;

::* Caen is unofficially voiced by Antony Del Rio.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen will often be played with techno/dance/hip hop music in the background and his soundtrack depicts songs of this genre. Examples include artists like Imagine Dragons, Eiffel 65, and the soundtrack from the Persona series of games, just to name a few. This is a reference to Vysce's favorite music as a child.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen's desire to &amp;quot;protect everyone's smiles&amp;quot; is a reference to the Kamen Rider series, particularly Kamen Rider OOO.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;''&amp;quot;Believe in me, for my resolve does not waver, nor can it be fractured.&amp;quot; ~Vailyx the Swifttail''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Caen Jabari''' is a young miqo'te who was found washed ashore in Vesper Bay on the day of the Great Calamity. Caen remembered nothing of his first eleven years, and woke up to a world he did not remember living in. All he had on him, besides the tattered rags that covered his body, were water-logged letters addressed to &amp;quot;Caen&amp;quot; from an older brother &amp;quot;Vailyx&amp;quot; and held together by a pair of violet earrings. Thankfully, the kinder fisherman, Faust Jabari was able to find the young miqo'te and semi-raised the boy to be able to live on his own. After five years, not only has Eorzea changed, but so has the young seeker of the sun.&lt;br /&gt;

===Appearance===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;You may be Ul'dah's desert canary, but you bear the heart of the phoenix, Caen.  You can always reignite and fly again.&amp;quot;'' ~Tiergan Vashir&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caen sports a wide-eyed, youthful face with bronzed skin due to living under the desert sun for years. Although he's lived in Ul'dah in the summers he remembers, Caen sports a slight Lominsan accent due to being raised in the city beside the Rhotano. His eyes are a bright amber and his large canines tend to show when he grins with his teeth. The lad also sports a shaggy mane of royal blue hair that would attempt to curl inwards over his face, yet it is mostly kept covered by a light head-wrapping. On his left cheek, he bears a X-shaped scar. Caen is best well known by his choice of attire; his bright yellow-coloured garb, to show off his love for the sunlight. His favorite articles of clothing usually include loose sarouel and leather boots or crakows. He prefers loose, billowy shirts in lieu of proper button-downs and is prone to sleeve-less vests and sometimes revealing chest pieces.                                                                 &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
===Personality===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:CaenJabari.jpg|left|CaenJabari.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
Caen is wild and carefree making him a perfect candidate for odd jobs through-out Thanalan and Ul'dah herself. A friend to everyone, the boy is cheerful and will rarely hesitate to chat up a stranger. His favorite pastime is residing within ''The Quicksand'' to watch the comings and goings of adventurers, occasionally prodding them for tales of their adventures outside the desert. This inspired him to finally leave Ul'dah to experience adventures of his own. Prone to mischief and hardly watching where he steps, Caen often finds himself in troublesome situations and relies on his quick-thinking and unorthodox methods of survival. The miqo'te is always in high-spirits and is at his best around friends, to whom he is very loyal.&lt;br /&gt;

===Fighting Style===&lt;br /&gt;
::*Caen is naturally gifted with hand-to-hand combat, but is clumsy as a toddler when it comes to a sword. During his childhood in Limsa Lominsa, he was often made fun of for his Hyuran name, which led to many street brawls with the local bullies. He taught himself how to punch, kick, and dodge out of attacks when overwhelmed, becoming effective at fighting many targets at once.&lt;br /&gt;
::*When his brother Vailyx began to take up the art of the Lance, Caen naturally went out and carved his own pole-arm out of a fallen tree branch to teach himself to do that as well, desiring skills better than his perfect brother. Vailyx was never to busy to show Caen up and belittle the boy on his flawed techniques, yet managed to teach him proper form over the course of three years. By berating his younger brother on what not to do, he effectively taught him how to use the lance as an extension of his arm. And although Caen was never old enough to leave Limsa and study the lance abroad, Vailyx was secretly proud of Caen.&lt;br /&gt;
::*Caen continued to pave his way through the Thanalan with his fists after he had awoken from losing his memory. After saving his foster-father, Faust, from a yarzon swarm a month after awakening, he took Caen  to the Pugilist's Guild within Ul'dah, where the boy would hone his skills. While mostly his training pertained of running errands for the Holyfist, Hamon, Caen did occasionally teach himself a less-clumsy fighting style after watching the students spar.&lt;br /&gt;
::*Caen often speaks of how beautiful and interesting he believes swords to be, but he cannot properly wield one on his own. When he does, he finds the blade &amp;quot;rejecting&amp;quot; him. Still he finds them incredibly intriguing.&lt;br /&gt;
::*Recently, the yellow-clad miqo'te has shown an impressive form using twin daggers. His agility from his training under Hamon and acrobatic nature have benefitted him greatly in close-quarters combat.&lt;br /&gt;

===Aliases/Nicknames===&lt;br /&gt;
::* '''Canary''': After many attempts to get the lonely adventurer Sarisa Clementine to smile, Caen finally succeeded after singing a ballad to her one morning. She smiled for the first time in two years, since Carteneau, and called him her Canary. It has become a rare nickname for Caen, as few know of it, yet he will cherish it forever. It was also a name called to him by his mother, V'ira, when she taught him to sing as a child.&lt;br /&gt;
::* '''Chocobo''': Called this by his close friends, Caen is often compared to the yellow flightless bird of Eorzea, due to his bright yellow choice of clothing.&lt;br /&gt;
::* '''Blue Wolf''': Only the residents of Vesper Bay would call Caen by such. Once when he was skinny-dipping in the Bay, a group of bullies thought it would be funny to steal his clothes. Stark-naked, Caen stealthily tried to make it back to Faust's house to no avail, as the streets were rather crowded. He soon came across a pail of blue paint, and, seeing it as his only option, dumped it all over himself. He would then dart through the streets, on all fours, to Faust's home, terrifying the citizenry who lay sight to the &amp;quot;Blue Wolf Monster&amp;quot;. After Faust explained the truth to everyone to avoid panic, it became a running gag within the small town's residents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;  font-size:30px;  color:#FFFFFF&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Relationships&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
===Family===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Father: C'aseen the Poet, ''deceased''&lt;br /&gt;
::* Mother: V'ira Tarja, ''deceased''&lt;br /&gt;
::* Older Brother: Vailyx the Swifttail, ''missing in action''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Foster Father: Faust Jabari, A hyuran fisherman and resident of Vesper Bay. He was fishing off the coast of Crescent Cove when he noticed a small boy clinging to a large piece of driftwood in the sea. He became Caen's foster father, and attempted to teach Caen the ways of the world the boy had forgotten about.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Cousin: '''[[Tiergan Vashir]]''', One of Caen's only living blood-relatives. Since he learned that Caen is his long-lost cousin, Teigan is fiercely protective of the lad, trying to be the brother Vailyx would have been to Caen. Caen loves his cousin dearly, and often tries to act out to make the older miqo'te proud of him. Caen, unbeknownst to Tiergan, would often stalk his cousin in order to study him and adopt his mannerisms. Still, much of Tiergan's past is a mystery to Caen, as the boy is unsure whether it is inappropriate to ask. Even still, friends often mistake Tiergan and Caen for brothers, and the two would go along with it, as Caen feels that Tiergan is a great older brother, in Vailyx's absence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Cousin: '''[[Lurial Vashir]]''', One of Caen's only living blood-relatives. Luri was able to track down the youngest son of her aunt V'ira to the streets of Ul'dah. When she connected the dots, she came to Caen and revealed the truth to him. While Caen hides inner worry of being apart of a family again, he cannot help but feel at home again, in a place where he belongs. Until her recent disappearance, Caen had stayed in her home in the city of Ul'dah... now Caen searches for his cousin hoping to reunite them again as she once did for him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Bodyguard: '''[[Furious Storm]]''', The bodyguard of Lurial Vashir, Caen and &amp;quot;Fury&amp;quot; instantly became best friends when Caen decided to break the shyness between them by bringing the roegadyn a warm apple tart after his first night at Lurial's home. Now the two are basically inseparable, and Caen never forgets to bring the large mute treats from around Thanalan. While he did vanish around the same time as Lurial, he still sends him treats and candy via moogle post, as they can apparently track the roegadyn better than Caen could.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Friends===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caen has had the fortune of meeting all kinds of souls by hanging near ''The Quicksand'' after leaving Vesper Bay when Faust journeyed to Mor Dhona to find his wife, Maria. Some have touched his lives more than others and even after quitting his job serving patrons for Momodi, he still eats most of his meals there and hangs around for a good while after. Being the jewel of the sand, Ul'dah is frequented by many and Caen makes a good attempt to meet them all, offering strangers a friendly flap of his ears and a story exchange to boot.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
((friend's list coming soon T-T))&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Chocobos===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen has always had a great affinity for befriending chocobos. He often wished to become a chocobo porter or breeder when he was younger. Some will find he actually talks to them. In moments of stress, the lad will often wander near chocobos and pet/talk to them. Since the birds seem to enjoy his company, many nearby porters or breeders don't mind his presence. It's not entirely sure if Caen wears yellow to display his love for chocobos or for the sun, since he favors both. Yet when asked, he will mention that he might favor chocobos more because you can't hug the sun. He dreams of having a chocobo of his own someday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Enemies===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caen doesn't have any real enemies that he knows of. He has lived an honest life and cannot hold a grudge to save it. Even when disrespected or belittled by an individual, he is quick to forgive all after sleeping it off, and greets them the next day, cheerful as ever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:PeekingCaen.jpg|center|PeekingCaen.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
===Common Rumors===&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;That there is the boy who works at Momodi's place, wiv ol' Naih'ir... the one who's always on them rails. I dunno how'ee does it, but his smile sure brightens up a room!&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;What sort of fool wears such bright yellow? If I wore such on the frontlines, archers would have me dead in seconds. If you ask me, he's just asking for death.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;Such a cutie... but what sort of name is Caen for a miqo'te? Doesn't he respect his own kind?&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moderate Rumors===&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;Shhh, don't stare... that's the boy who was kidnapped. The one by that ruffian Cade... the poor dear must've been so frightened.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot; Hah! Y'know Momodi won't let him drink? Says he's too young fer such things... but I saw him get a good boxin' 'round the ears last time he was sniffin' 'round it! Haw Haw Haw!&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;That little shite ate all my fish! Orphans... hate their scum!&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Rare Rumors===&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot; I heard him sing once, yes. It was so beautiful... but so sad. You could almost feel as if there was some pain in his heart... his very soul.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot; Didn't y'know? 'ee can't remember a lick o' who he was b'fore the moon fell them years ago. Poor bloke. Must be lonely, havin' no-one to hold yeh.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;Calls himself the 'errand-tail' of the Sultana... he's the one Raubahn trusts with those letters. Sometimes I wonder what's in them, but it seems he doesn't know himself. Best not to dwell on such things.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;They were carrying the little lad in from the Shroud. You should have heard his breathing; I was so afraid for him. A monster? No... they say it was one of those Warriors. Are even our children unsafe?&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===PC Rumors===&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;You know he's a kind little guy, he'll just brush it off until he really gets hurt. I'm gonna find Art asleep someplace and stab him between the ribs. See how he likes it.&amp;quot;'' -- [[Augustine Frost]]&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;Caen?  That's my younger cousin - honest, brave, and constantly getting into trouble.  He's always working to try and become a 'hero' like the rest of us, but he doesn't seem to realise he's already a strong, courageous spirit.  His elder brother Vailyx would be proud of him...&amp;quot;'' -- [[Tiergan Vashir]]&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;If there should be one person in the entirety of Hydaelyn that I wholeheartedly trust, 'tis Caen. For being as young as he is, he has never failed to make me smile and make me see the best in things. If there is someone I am willing to die for, Caen would be the one.&amp;quot;'' -- [[Garrett Slater]]&lt;br /&gt;

He's, as one would describe, like a ray of sunshine, and dresses like it too. Can't say I've seen the lad for a few days now, though.'' &amp;lt;/font&amp;gt; -an anonymous note scrawled in charcoal&lt;br /&gt;

==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;font-size:40px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;The Story&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:CaenByEdge.jpg|right|CaenByEdge.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
===The Legacy of C'aseen the Poet===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen's father, known as C'aseen the Poet by his brothers in arms, was a monk in the ranks of the Fists of Rhalgr. At a young age, he abandoned his tribe along with his best friend F'une to study the ways of balance and the fist, and later came to unlock his hidden chakra. Although he claimed to be a pacifist, C'aseen yearned for unmatched power so that he could defend his way of life unopposed, whereas F'une was more aggressive, and fully embraced the way of The Destroyer. C'aseen would make a habit of sharing his small wealth with the less fortunate of Ala Mhigo, and aiding in small jobs among the lower class, behind F'une's back. He would thatch holes in roofs, gather game, and pull caravans himself. He was also known by his spouts of poetry that he would preach about the world and life. It was then, he met a woman named V'ira Tarja and fell madly in love with her. Traditions of his kind be damned, he would spend nights singing ballads to her... not knowing she was fighting feelings for him. Eventually they would come together and sire a white-haired boy who V'ira named Vailyx.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Vailyx, the Swifttail of Ala Mhigo===&lt;br /&gt;
Vailyx grew into a wild-cat like his mother, yet bore the confidence of his father. Fond of all manner of mischief, he grew up alongside his best friend and cousin Tiergan Vashir. Along with Tiergan's sister Lurial, the trio would cast bouts of chaos among the lower levels of Ala Mhigo. Dodoes would suddenly find their pens opened and run through the streets, food from merchant stalls would go missing, and there was even one incident when the three road atop a chocobo taken back from a corrupt tax collector for their neighbor, who was struggling to make ends meet. Vailyx was always there to save his friends from peril, coming out with a bloody nose and a few other bruises; his trade-mark fanged smirk not wavering. He named himself the ''Swifttail'' of Ala Mhigo, claiming it was a title bestowed by the Twelve for his cunning and speed, but in truth, he merely thought it sounded cool and intimidating. At one point, he even dyed his long, white hair into a bright red colour, so that he would look like a fiery comet as he rushed through the streets and rooftops. Their childhood was happy... but it was not to last.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Escape from Ala Mhigo===&lt;br /&gt;
Vailyx was eight years old when the Empire lay waste to Ala Mhigo in their campaign to take over Eorzea. F'une attempted to sneak C'aseen and his family onto a refugee caravan, fleeing the city amongst the chaos. This act cost F'une his life, but ensured his comrade's safety. V'ira's family lost or missing, C'aseen thought it would be best to take his family far from Ala Mhigo and start over, eventually booking them a passage to Limsa Lominsa, the entire journey from Ala Mhigo to Limsa taking two years. It would be there that V'ira bore another child, a small blue-haired boy with amber eyes named Caen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Caen, The Amber Dawn===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen's childhood in Limsa Lominsa was a rather happy one. C'aseen sought to join the ranks of the Maelstrom, the Grand Company of Limsa, and Vailyx sought to become a warrior like his father. This left Caen alone most of the time, when he was able to wander off without V'ira. Caen was the representation of a new and happy life for the four, and a hope for the future. As Caen grew older, he adopted a mixture of his family traits. While his mischief wasn't as grand as Vailyx's schemes back in Ala Mhigo, they often led to street brawls with the local bullies who beat Caen, as he was a miqo'te with the hyuran name. During the brawls, many of the &amp;quot;bullies&amp;quot; came to like the boy, as the miqo'te never fought as if he was fighting for his life and instead fighting for the fun of it. It became clear that it was difficult to become enemies with the boy, and most of his hyran adversaries turned into good friends or friendly rivals. When he wasn't tussling in the lower decks, Caen would climb to the higher towers of Limsa, looking out at the sea to watch his father fish, and see ships come in to port. He came to know almost everyone, as he was quite nosey, and always was willing to lend a helping hand to a downtrodden stranger. V'ira would teach the young kitten to sing, to aid him in his quest to make all strangers happy, but not without warning the boy of the dangers of the world.&lt;br /&gt;
By the time Caen grew to his ninth year, he was already a thorn in his older brother's side. Constantly trying to show Vailyx up was a favorite pastime of his, while Vailyx had grown cold by comparison, still mourning the deaths of his two best friends Tiergan and Lurial. He was well on his way to becoming worthy enough to study in the ways of a Dragoon, which Caen would lovingly attempt to mimic. By Caen's tenth year, Vailyx has sought to forgive himself for not being able to save Tiergan and Lurial, seeing much of his younger self in Caen, who would bring light and joy to his terrible sorrow and cast it aside. For the first time, Caen was able to break through his older brother's cold exterior, and the brothers would bond happily for the next year. Another year passed... and with it, the Grand Companies of Eorzea prepared to meet Nael Van Darnus's VIIth Legion on the fields of Carteneau.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Cruelty of Fate===&lt;br /&gt;
C'aseen and Vailyx had made up their minds to fight alongside the Maelstrom forces at Carteneau. Yet, as Dalamud had lowered closer to Eorzea, Vailyx feared that the battle would not be won, and urged V'ira to take Caen on a ship and flee the continent. Caen took this terribly, and took up his practice lance, trying to fight Vailyx to let him go with them. Vailyx, out of options, slashed the practice lance in half and cut his brother across the cheek in an attempt to make his brother hate him, so that he wouldn't want to join them at Carteneau. Caen, now sporting a nasty cross-shaped wound, flung himself at his brother, understanding his fears and embracing him one last time. Vailyx would hand his mother letters to Caen, and, embracing them one last time, rushed off to join C'aseen at the battle. Caen and V'ira were able to get passage to a ship heading for another continent with other refugees, yet as Dalamud drew ever closer, the captain of their ship, Kruz Rosgaldornyn, revealed his ugly plot to turn the ship towards Ul'dah, and sell everyone aboard as slaves into the Ul'dahn underground black market. Kruz would attempt to seize V'ira and have his way with the miqo'te woman before they arrived, but Caen begged and pleaded him to release her, offering his own life in exchange. A twisted being, Kruz agreed, and took the young lad to his quarters, where he tortured the boy for making him look weak in front of his crew. As the beating grew worse, Caen could not take it anymore and bit the man's ear off. Enraged, Kruz tied the boy down and prepared to cut Caen's tail off. Before the blow was struck, V'ira burst down the door, stunning Kruz with a glass bottle to the face and released Caen. As they rushed to a lifeboat, the waves grew restless and aggressive, and the skies turned violent. Flares rained down from the sky, flinging themselves into the deep ocean. Amidst the chaos, V'ira removed her violet earrings and wrapped them around Vailyx's letters, tucking them into Caen's jacket. She embraced her son for the last time, and the ship was hit by one of Bahamut's flares. Caen was thrust into the air along with debris from the ship, the bodies of refugees, and V'ira. He reached for her, in an attempt to fly towards her again, and screamed her name, just as she was engulfed by flames. Caen hit the water with a terrible force... and fell into the abyss of his mind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Awakening to Null===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen awoke to a warm bed, in the small home of Faust Jabari, a fisherman in Vesper Bay. He had been asleep for nearly a week. When Faust asked the boy his name, the boy could not recall. In fact he knew not who he was, nor where he was... nor why Faust had no tail when the lad had one. Faust attempted to look through the letters Caen had washed ashore with, yet they were almost too water-logged to read. All he could make out is they were addressed to &amp;quot;Caen&amp;quot;... from someone named Vailyx. Taking a shot in the dark, Faust would return Caen's name to him, and gift the lost miqo'te with that of his own surname, &amp;quot;Jabari&amp;quot; until his memories returned. Caen was timid and shy around the other kids in Vesper, while many of them were around their eleventh year, as he was, he felt terrified to be around people. His days were spent trying to piece together who he was, and his nightmares were plagued by a vision of his chasing a red-haired knight with a lance into a blinding horizon, yet he could never catch them. It wasn't until Faust took Caen along with him to trade his wares at Ul'dah, did remnants of himself return.&lt;br /&gt;
Faust briefly left Caen with Momodi of ''The Quicksand'' while he went to trade his wares at market. It was then that Caen witnessed the sorrow of a beautiful lady named Sarisa Clementine. A band of adventurers, her comrades tried anything they could to get her to find hope that her lover had survived the Battle Of Carteneau, but she would turn them away. Caen was overcome with a need to make her smile, and approached her, initiating conversation. Sarisa was so shocked that a mysterious boy would just walk up and chat with her, that she obliged. The two would meet at ''The Quicksand'' and talk often, about Caen's missing memories, and of Sarisa and her love for her fiancee, Lieru. And one day, Caen sang to her... a ballad conjured from the depths of his mind... and for the first time in a long time, she smiled. It was then that Caen decided, it was smiles like hers he wanted to one day protect. And he would be the light in the darkness for those who had lost their own. He dreamt of a world without sorrow, without war or bloodshed, and became determined to become strong enough to herald the arrival of such a world.&lt;br /&gt;
==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;font-size:40px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;After Meteor&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:RainyCaen.jpg|left|RainyCaen.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
===Five Years Later... (2.0)===&lt;br /&gt;
After convincing Faust to journey to Mor Dhona and find his wife Maria, Caen had sang in the streets of Ul'dah for gil, while also finding an opportunity to become a messenger bearing secret letters for groups that would not like to see them taken from moogles. It was Naih'ir Molkot and Momodi of ''The Quicksand'' that would offer Caen a real job, washing dishes and serving the patrons of the inn. During this time, Caen would also find habit of &amp;quot;perching&amp;quot; atop the rails of the room, conversing with strangers and getting them to detail their adventures outside the desert, having no memory of the world beyond. Caen still yearns for a place to call home once again, and prays that the Twelve might offer a hint as to why his memory was taken from him. Still, he wields a confident smirk and a bright yellow attire, in a hope to be a light for everyone and make them smile...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Brave New Realm (2.1)===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen could say his life changed when he met a group of adventurers in the Quicksand. The first man was a Dragoon named Artorias Mason. At first the Huyr was a marvel to behold, capable of endless feats and even more knowledge. He had had everything... and lost it all to the Empire. He was an inspiration... yet darkness existed in the mans heart having lost all he held dear. He denied the Gods existence and placed Caen's undying faith to the Twelve among the ranks of the pathetic; an event that shook the boy to his core and giving him doubt for the first time.  During a trip out to Crescent Cove, Caen and Artorias run in with Garrett Slater, a free-paladin in training. Caen shows them both a crashed Garlean vessel, rusted and long-dead, when they are attacked by a giant yarzon. After defeating the vilekin, Garrett and Artorias meet in private when Caen is suddenly caught in a Garlean ambush. In a narrow victory, the group is able to flee towards Ul'dah to return Caen to the Quicksand. The following day, Caen was approached by a woman named Kelvena, who searches for her father Ikus and his mercenary company Lost Rogues. When she finds out that Caen has never been outside Ul'dah, she, Artorias, and Garrett decide to take the boy to Limsa Lominsa. There, it is revealed that Artorias plans to kill himself after fighting the primals and defeating Gaius von Baelsar. Although Caen pleads with him, Artorias' mind is made up and he eventually leaves. It is then that Kelvena and Garrett take Caen to Gridania... where Caen visits the Lancer's Guild and finds the Last Letter of the Swifttail. These last written words of his older brother, Vailyx ensure that Caen really is Caen, and that he should continue to live his own life as his father and mother had wanted. Still wishing he could remember his family, Caen tries to find solace among his new friends. Artorias senses the boy's strife and bids Kelvena look after Caen like an older sister.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Shards of the Forsaken (2.2)===&lt;br /&gt;
One night, Caen began hearing voices in his head, including images and emotions felt by people he didn't know. This led him to run off into the Gold Court unable to control his own pain. Garrett, Kelvena, and Artorias would try to help Caen... only to be approached by two enigmatic miqo'te. Tiergan Vashir and An'nai came to find Caen, but after Artorias threatened Tiergan, the miqo'te let slip that Caen may, in fact have a shard within him, allowing him to tap into latent power and talk with others over long distances. It was only after Caen got his control over his emotions that Brynhilde Wulf appeared before the lad. After inspecting the boy, she made it clear to everyone that he was not one of the shard bearers... but in his mind, Caen could hear her saying something different. He was a shard-bearer... and a rune slowly affixed itself above Caen's heart.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Seekers (2.3)===&lt;br /&gt;
It was the day when Caen was waiting to be deployed with a handful of other new Flame cadets to the Sagolii desert. The information broker, Lurial Vashir found Caen first and told him the truth. His family was still alive, and his older cousins had survived the moonfall five years ago. Shocked, the miqo'te boy grew quickly attached to both Lurial and Tiergan.&lt;br /&gt;
Caen's Flame deployment also ended quickly, as sand worms attacked the site of the training grounds. With the telepathic assistance from afar through the link, Caen was able to drag the soldier caravan and a few survivors back to Ul'dah. Caen was granted a scout position, which was limited to parcel and supply delivery, if only for the boy's speed and diligence.&lt;br /&gt;
The dark hood of the Entudenin reared its head and began to attack shard-bearers, Caen included. At one point, Caen was pushed off of the high walls of Coerthas by a dark agent of the Entudenin. The boy was paralyzed from the waist down and after three days, was found by Tiergan, who had to fight past two agents to rescue his cousin. Caen was taken to the Shroud for extensive healing and afterwards, found himself hiding from the shard-bearer headquarters, afraid of being attacked by another of the dark hoods.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Taken (2.55)===&lt;br /&gt;
As the moon cycled around the world over and over, Caen took up his old errand-tail ways by delivering letters for different people in Ul'dah, and occasionally the other nations of Eorzea. However, due to the sensitive information he unwittingly carried, he was made a target by the Syndicate agents after he was seen handing over letters addressed to the Sultana. On the night where the Eorzean Alliance were greeting the ambassadors from Ishgard, fighting began to break out in the city. Caen was chased by a few of the brass blades through the Gold Court, and nearly made it to the Royal Promenade, where he was knocked out by an ambush. Caen was imprisoned, and then sold into a slave ring with the rest of the prisoners that sat in the Ul'dahn cells. &lt;br /&gt;
==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;font-size:40px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Heavensward&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:CaenBard.jpg|left|CaenBard.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
=== These Eyes of Mine (3.1)===&lt;br /&gt;
It was soon discovered that Caen had been sold to an illegal gladiator ring where slaves were matched against each other for fictional lands and titles in a game played by the nobility of Ul'dah. The boy was forced to surrender his self-made vows to never take a life, as some fights in the ring were kill or be killed. His only possessions were a wicked pair of twin daggers that he was taught to use by another fellow slave named Yae. After numerous attempts to escape and push letters from windows, Lurial Vashir and a number of brave souls, including her brother Tiergan, were able to locate Caen and organized an assault on the ringleader's mansion. Only known as her moniker, &amp;quot;The Woman&amp;quot;, Caen's master threw all of her slaves and guards at the band of rescuers and even drugged Caen and set him upon his former friends. Caen was rendered unconscious during the fight and taken to the Forgotten Springs for healing and rest. After waking up, Caen felt terrified to meet his cousins and friends again. He perceived his soul and eyes to be stained with the lives he was forced to take during his time as a gladiator. For the time being, he subtly struggles to continue wearing the mask of unbridled happiness just as he did before. The lad now carries a pain in his heart and wonders if he even deserves to live after betraying his promise to never stain his hands with blood. In spite of his inner turmoil, he made preparations to become an adventurer himself and sought employment in Ishgard, recently united with the Eorzean Alliance. Employed as a supply runner for Betelgeuse Bordeaux's Button Shoppe, Caen finds himself working early mornings; running across the realm to spread elaborate buttons to the rest of Eorzea's markets and weaver guilds. The lad spends alot of time in the Quicksand, stashing away his earned gil to fund an expedition to the mysteries of the northern lands where the lost boy hopes to find himself again.&lt;br /&gt;

==Character Connections==&lt;br /&gt;
There are an abundance of souls who may have crossed paths with Caen as they live in Eorzea~&lt;br /&gt;
::* Anyone who has lived in Ul'Dah for the last 2-3 years would've seen him working at ''The Quicksand.''&lt;br /&gt;
::* He's also a well-known messenger, running parcels across Thanalan for the past 3 years. It's possible you enlisted his services.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Anyone who had resided in Vesper Bay or Crescent Cove in the last 5 years.&lt;br /&gt;
::* It's possible you have seen him honing his skill in the Pugilist's Guild in Ul'dah.&lt;br /&gt;
::* He may have bugged you about your adventures or asked you if you were alright if you wandered into ''The Quicksand'' looking broody.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Although rare, it is also possible you heard him singing in the streets of Ul'dah. His favorite spots were The Gold Court, near the Thaumaturge's Guild, and the Hustling Strip.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:SunsetCaen.jpg|center|SunsetCaen.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
==Trivia &amp;amp; Misc==&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen will sometimes make subtle references to Final Fantasy IX.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen's songs are Final Fantasy songs given lyrics by Katethegreat19 on Youtube. He will often recall that a mysterious bard taught him these songs. All other songs or ballads are original pieces.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen is unofficially voiced by Antony Del Rio.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen will often be played with techno/dance/hip hop music in the background and his soundtrack depicts songs of this genre. Examples include artists like Imagine Dragons, Eiffel 65, and the soundtrack from the Persona series of games, just to name a few. This is a reference to Vysce's favorite music as a child.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen's desire to &amp;quot;protect everyone's smiles&amp;quot; is a reference to the Kamen Rider series, particularly Kamen Rider OOO.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen's patron deity Azeyma is close to the word Asthma, which Caen's player was temporarily sick with while creating Caen.&lt;br /&gt;
::* All of Caen's family have lighter-colored hair, with him and his father having the only dark hair amongst their relatives. This is an allusion to Caen's player's (Vysce) actual family where the entire family is composed of people with blond hair, save for Vysce, who was born blond yet later grew dark mahogany.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Sarisa and Lieru are from a love-story, rped by Caen's player in ''Guild Wars 2''. Lieru is also the first character he ever created.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen's yellow eyes are a tip of the hat to his player's time rping in ''Star Wars: The Old Republic'' where he wielded a yellow lightsaber.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen will often sing &amp;quot;Fish! Fish! Fish!&amp;quot; when offered a cooked fish. This is a reference to the champion Fizz from ''League of Legends.''&lt;br /&gt;
::* The lad's theme is the &amp;quot;Netsky&amp;quot; remix of the song ''Finale'' by Madeon. When dueling him, a faster version of the song will play. His other themes include ''I'm Alive'' by Becca, and ''New Divide'' by Linkin Park.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen is always 100% IC, even when out leveling. SO if you see him, don't hesitate to say hello!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;''&amp;quot;Believe in me, for my resolve does not waver, nor can it be fractured.&amp;quot; ~Vailyx the Swifttail''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Caen Jabari''' is a young miqo'te who was found washed ashore in Vesper Bay on the day of the Great Calamity. Caen remembered nothing of his first eleven years, and woke up to a world he did not remember living in. All he had on him, besides the tattered rags that covered his body, were water-logged letters addressed to &amp;quot;Caen&amp;quot; from an older brother &amp;quot;Vailyx&amp;quot; and held together by a pair of violet earrings. Thankfully, the kinder fisherman, Faust Jabari was able to find the young miqo'te and semi-raised the boy to be able to live on his own. After five years, not only has Eorzea changed, but so has the young seeker of the sun.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Appearance===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;You may be Ul'dah's desert canary, but you bear the heart of the phoenix, Caen.  You can always reignite and fly again.&amp;quot;'' ~Tiergan Vashir&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caen sports a wide-eyed, youthful face with bronzed skin due to living under the desert sun for years. Although he's lived in Ul'dah in the summers he remembers, Caen sports a slight Lominsan accent due to being raised in the city beside the Rhotano. His eyes are a bright amber and his large canines tend to show when he grins with his teeth. The lad also sports a shaggy mane of royal blue hair that would attempt to curl inwards over his face, yet it is mostly kept covered by a light head-wrapping. On his left cheek, he bears a X-shaped scar. Caen is best well known by his choice of attire; his bright yellow-coloured garb, to show off his love for the sunlight. His favorite articles of clothing usually include loose sarouel and leather boots or crakows. He prefers loose, billowy shirts in lieu of proper button-downs and is prone to sleeve-less vests and sometimes revealing chest pieces.                                                                 &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
===Personality===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:CaenJabari.jpg|left|CaenJabari.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
Caen is wild and carefree making him a perfect candidate for odd jobs through-out Thanalan and Ul'dah herself. A friend to everyone, the boy is cheerful and will rarely hesitate to chat up a stranger. His favorite pastime is residing within ''The Quicksand'' to watch the comings and goings of adventurers, occasionally prodding them for tales of their adventures outside the desert. This inspired him to finally leave Ul'dah to experience adventures of his own. Prone to mischief and hardly watching where he steps, Caen often finds himself in troublesome situations and relies on his quick-thinking and unorthodox methods of survival. The miqo'te is always in high-spirits and is at his best around friends, to whom he is very loyal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;font-size:40px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Martial Arts&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
===Fighting Style===&lt;br /&gt;
::*Caen is naturally gifted with hand-to-hand combat, but is clumsy as a toddler when it comes to a sword. During his childhood in Limsa Lominsa, he was often made fun of for his Hyuran name, which led to many street brawls with the local bullies. He taught himself how to punch, kick, and dodge out of attacks when overwhelmed, becoming effective at fighting many targets at once.&lt;br /&gt;
::*When his brother Vailyx began to take up the art of the Lance, Caen naturally went out and carved his own pole-arm out of a fallen tree branch to teach himself to do that as well, desiring skills better than his perfect brother. Vailyx was never to busy to show Caen up and belittle the boy on his flawed techniques, yet managed to teach him proper form over the course of three years. By berating his younger brother on what not to do, he effectively taught him how to use the lance as an extension of his arm. And although Caen was never old enough to leave Limsa and study the lance abroad, Vailyx was secretly proud of Caen.&lt;br /&gt;
::*Caen continued to pave his way through the Thanalan with his fists after he had awoken from losing his memory. After saving his foster-father, Faust, from a yarzon swarm a month after awakening, he took Caen  to the Pugilist's Guild within Ul'dah, where the boy would hone his skills. While mostly his training pertained of running errands for the Holyfist, Hamon, Caen did occasionally teach himself a less-clumsy fighting style after watching the students spar.&lt;br /&gt;
::*Caen often speaks of how beautiful and interesting he believes swords to be, but he cannot properly wield one on his own. When he does, he finds the blade &amp;quot;rejecting&amp;quot; him. Still he finds them incredibly intriguing.&lt;br /&gt;
::*Recently, the yellow-clad miqo'te has shown an impressive form using twin daggers. His agility from his training under Hamon and acrobatic nature have benefitted him greatly in close-quarters combat.&lt;br /&gt;

===Aliases/Nicknames===&lt;br /&gt;
::* '''Canary''': After many attempts to get the lonely adventurer Sarisa Clementine to smile, Caen finally succeeded after singing a ballad to her one morning. She smiled for the first time in two years, since Carteneau, and called him her Canary. It has become a rare nickname for Caen, as few know of it, yet he will cherish it forever. It was also a name called to him by his mother, V'ira, when she taught him to sing as a child.&lt;br /&gt;
::* '''Chocobo''': Called this by his close friends, Caen is often compared to the yellow flightless bird of Eorzea, due to his bright yellow choice of clothing.&lt;br /&gt;
::* '''Blue Wolf''': Only the residents of Vesper Bay would call Caen by such. Once when he was skinny-dipping in the Bay, a group of bullies thought it would be funny to steal his clothes. Stark-naked, Caen stealthily tried to make it back to Faust's house to no avail, as the streets were rather crowded. He soon came across a pail of blue paint, and, seeing it as his only option, dumped it all over himself. He would then dart through the streets, on all fours, to Faust's home, terrifying the citizenry who lay sight to the &amp;quot;Blue Wolf Monster&amp;quot;. After Faust explained the truth to everyone to avoid panic, it became a running gag within the small town's residents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

===Family===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Father: C'aseen the Poet, ''deceased''&lt;br /&gt;
::* Mother: V'ira Tarja, ''deceased''&lt;br /&gt;
::* Older Brother: Vailyx the Swifttail, ''missing in action''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Foster Father: Faust Jabari, A hyuran fisherman and resident of Vesper Bay. He was fishing off the coast of Crescent Cove when he noticed a small boy clinging to a large piece of driftwood in the sea. He became Caen's foster father, and attempted to teach Caen the ways of the world the boy had forgotten about.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Cousin: '''[[Tiergan Vashir]]''', One of Caen's only living blood-relatives. Since he learned that Caen is his long-lost cousin, Teigan is fiercely protective of the lad, trying to be the brother Vailyx would have been to Caen. Caen loves his cousin dearly, and often tries to act out to make the older miqo'te proud of him. Caen, unbeknownst to Tiergan, would often stalk his cousin in order to study him and adopt his mannerisms. Still, much of Tiergan's past is a mystery to Caen, as the boy is unsure whether it is inappropriate to ask. Even still, friends often mistake Tiergan and Caen for brothers, and the two would go along with it, as Caen feels that Tiergan is a great older brother, in Vailyx's absence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Cousin: '''[[Lurial Vashir]]''', One of Caen's only living blood-relatives. Luri was able to track down the youngest son of her aunt V'ira to the streets of Ul'dah. When she connected the dots, she came to Caen and revealed the truth to him. While Caen hides inner worry of being apart of a family again, he cannot help but feel at home again, in a place where he belongs. Until her recent disappearance, Caen had stayed in her home in the city of Ul'dah... now Caen searches for his cousin hoping to reunite them again as she once did for him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Bodyguard: '''[[Furious Storm]]''', The bodyguard of Lurial Vashir, Caen and &amp;quot;Fury&amp;quot; instantly became best friends when Caen decided to break the shyness between them by bringing the roegadyn a warm apple tart after his first night at Lurial's home. Now the two are basically inseparable, and Caen never forgets to bring the large mute treats from around Thanalan. While he did vanish around the same time as Lurial, he still sends him treats and candy via moogle post, as they can apparently track the roegadyn better than Caen could.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Friends===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caen has had the fortune of meeting all kinds of souls by hanging near ''The Quicksand'' after leaving Vesper Bay when Faust journeyed to Mor Dhona to find his wife, Maria. Some have touched his lives more than others and even after quitting his job serving patrons for Momodi, he still eats most of his meals there and hangs around for a good while after. Being the jewel of the sand, Ul'dah is frequented by many and Caen makes a good attempt to meet them all, offering strangers a friendly flap of his ears and a story exchange to boot.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
((friend's list coming soon T-T))&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Chocobos===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen has always had a great affinity for befriending chocobos. He often wished to become a chocobo porter or breeder when he was younger. Some will find he actually talks to them. In moments of stress, the lad will often wander near chocobos and pet/talk to them. Since the birds seem to enjoy his company, many nearby porters or breeders don't mind his presence. It's not entirely sure if Caen wears yellow to display his love for chocobos or for the sun, since he favors both. Yet when asked, he will mention that he might favor chocobos more because you can't hug the sun. He dreams of having a chocobo of his own someday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Enemies===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caen doesn't have any real enemies that he knows of. He has lived an honest life and cannot hold a grudge to save it. Even when disrespected or belittled by an individual, he is quick to forgive all after sleeping it off, and greets them the next day, cheerful as ever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

::* ''&amp;quot;Such a cutie... but what sort of name is Caen for a miqo'te? Doesn't he respect his own kind?&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moderate Rumors===&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;Shhh, don't stare... that's the boy who was kidnapped. The one by that ruffian Cade... the poor dear must've been so frightened.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Rare Rumors===&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot; I heard him sing once, yes. It was so beautiful... but so sad. You could almost feel as if there was some pain in his heart... his very soul.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;

::* ''&amp;quot;Calls himself the 'errand-tail' of the Sultana... he's the one Raubahn trusts with those letters. Sometimes I wonder what's in them, but it seems he doesn't know himself. Best not to dwell on such things.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;

::* ''&amp;quot;Caen?  That's my younger cousin - honest, brave, and constantly getting into trouble.

==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;font-size:40px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;The Story&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:CaenByEdge.jpg|right|CaenByEdge.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
===The Legacy of C'aseen the Poet===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen's father, known as C'aseen the Poet by his brothers in arms, was a monk in the ranks of the Fists of Rhalgr. At a young age, he abandoned his tribe along with his best friend F'une to study the ways of balance and the fist, and later came to unlock his hidden chakra. Although he claimed to be a pacifist, C'aseen yearned for unmatched power so that he could defend his way of life unopposed, whereas F'une was more aggressive, and fully embraced the way of The Destroyer. C'aseen would make a habit of sharing his small wealth with the less fortunate of Ala Mhigo, and aiding in small jobs among the lower class, behind F'une's back. He would thatch holes in roofs, gather game, and pull caravans himself. He was also known by his spouts of poetry that he would preach about the world and life. It was then, he met a woman named V'ira Tarja and fell madly in love with her. Traditions of his kind be damned, he would spend nights singing ballads to her... not knowing she was fighting feelings for him. Eventually they would come together and sire a white-haired boy who V'ira named Vailyx.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Vailyx, the Swifttail of Ala Mhigo===&lt;br /&gt;
Vailyx grew into a wild-cat like his mother, yet bore the confidence of his father. Fond of all manner of mischief, he grew up alongside his best friend and cousin Tiergan Vashir. Along with Tiergan's sister Lurial, the trio would cast bouts of chaos among the lower levels of Ala Mhigo. Dodoes would suddenly find their pens opened and run through the streets, food from merchant stalls would go missing, and there was even one incident when the three road atop a chocobo taken back from a corrupt tax collector for their neighbor, who was struggling to make ends meet. Vailyx was always there to save his friends from peril, coming out with a bloody nose and a few other bruises; his trade-mark fanged smirk not wavering. He named himself the ''Swifttail'' of Ala Mhigo, claiming it was a title bestowed by the Twelve for his cunning and speed, but in truth, he merely thought it sounded cool and intimidating. At one point, he even dyed his long, white hair into a bright red colour, so that he would look like a fiery comet as he rushed through the streets and rooftops. Their childhood was happy... but it was not to last.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Escape from Ala Mhigo===&lt;br /&gt;
Vailyx was eight years old when the Empire lay waste to Ala Mhigo in their campaign to take over Eorzea. F'une attempted to sneak C'aseen and his family onto a refugee caravan, fleeing the city amongst the chaos. This act cost F'une his life, but ensured his comrade's safety. V'ira's family lost or missing, C'aseen thought it would be best to take his family far from Ala Mhigo and start over, eventually booking them a passage to Limsa Lominsa, the entire journey from Ala Mhigo to Limsa taking two years. It would be there that V'ira bore another child, a small blue-haired boy with amber eyes named Caen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Caen, The Amber Dawn===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen's childhood in Limsa Lominsa was a rather happy one. C'aseen sought to join the ranks of the Maelstrom, the Grand Company of Limsa, and Vailyx sought to become a warrior like his father. This left Caen alone most of the time, when he was able to wander off without V'ira. Caen was the representation of a new and happy life for the four, and a hope for the future. As Caen grew older, he adopted a mixture of his family traits. While his mischief wasn't as grand as Vailyx's schemes back in Ala Mhigo, they often led to street brawls with the local bullies who beat Caen, as he was a miqo'te with the hyuran name. During the brawls, many of the &amp;quot;bullies&amp;quot; came to like the boy, as the miqo'te never fought as if he was fighting for his life and instead fighting for the fun of it. It became clear that it was difficult to become enemies with the boy, and most of his hyran adversaries turned into good friends or friendly rivals. When he wasn't tussling in the lower decks, Caen would climb to the higher towers of Limsa, looking out at the sea to watch his father fish, and see ships come in to port. He came to know almost everyone, as he was quite nosey, and always was willing to lend a helping hand to a downtrodden stranger. V'ira would teach the young kitten to sing, to aid him in his quest to make all strangers happy, but not without warning the boy of the dangers of the world.&lt;br /&gt;
By the time Caen grew to his ninth year, he was already a thorn in his older brother's side. Constantly trying to show Vailyx up was a favorite pastime of his, while Vailyx had grown cold by comparison, still mourning the deaths of his two best friends Tiergan and Lurial. He was well on his way to becoming worthy enough to study in the ways of a Dragoon, which Caen would lovingly attempt to mimic. By Caen's tenth year, Vailyx has sought to forgive himself for not being able to save Tiergan and Lurial, seeing much of his younger self in Caen, who would bring light and joy to his terrible sorrow and cast it aside. For the first time, Caen was able to break through his older brother's cold exterior, and the brothers would bond happily for the next year. Another year passed... and with it, the Grand Companies of Eorzea prepared to meet Nael Van Darnus's VIIth Legion on the fields of Carteneau.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Cruelty of Fate===&lt;br /&gt;
C'aseen and Vailyx had made up their minds to fight alongside the Maelstrom forces at Carteneau. Yet, as Dalamud had lowered closer to Eorzea, Vailyx feared that the battle would not be won, and urged V'ira to take Caen on a ship and flee the continent. Caen took this terribly, and took up his practice lance, trying to fight Vailyx to let him go with them. Vailyx, out of options, slashed the practice lance in half and cut his brother across the cheek in an attempt to make his brother hate him, so that he wouldn't want to join them at Carteneau. Caen, now sporting a nasty cross-shaped wound, flung himself at his brother, understanding his fears and embracing him one last time. Vailyx would hand his mother letters to Caen, and, embracing them one last time, rushed off to join C'aseen at the battle. Caen and V'ira were able to get passage to a ship heading for another continent with other refugees, yet as Dalamud drew ever closer, the captain of their ship, Kruz Rosgaldornyn, revealed his ugly plot to turn the ship towards Ul'dah, and sell everyone aboard as slaves into the Ul'dahn underground black market. Kruz would attempt to seize V'ira and have his way with the miqo'te woman before they arrived, but Caen begged and pleaded him to release her, offering his own life in exchange. A twisted being, Kruz agreed, and took the young lad to his quarters, where he tortured the boy for making him look weak in front of his crew. As the beating grew worse, Caen could not take it anymore and bit the man's ear off. Enraged, Kruz tied the boy down and prepared to cut Caen's tail off. Before the blow was struck, V'ira burst down the door, stunning Kruz with a glass bottle to the face and released Caen. As they rushed to a lifeboat, the waves grew restless and aggressive, and the skies turned violent. Flares rained down from the sky, flinging themselves into the deep ocean. Amidst the chaos, V'ira removed her violet earrings and wrapped them around Vailyx's letters, tucking them into Caen's jacket. She embraced her son for the last time, and the ship was hit by one of Bahamut's flares. Caen was thrust into the air along with debris from the ship, the bodies of refugees, and V'ira. He reached for her, in an attempt to fly towards her again, and screamed her name, just as she was engulfed by flames. Caen hit the water with a terrible force... and fell into the abyss of his mind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Awakening to Null===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen awoke to a warm bed, in the small home of Faust Jabari, a fisherman in Vesper Bay. He had been asleep for nearly a week. When Faust asked the boy his name, the boy could not recall. In fact he knew not who he was, nor where he was... nor why Faust had no tail when the lad had one. Faust attempted to look through the letters Caen had washed ashore with, yet they were almost too water-logged to read. All he could make out is they were addressed to &amp;quot;Caen&amp;quot;... from someone named Vailyx. Taking a shot in the dark, Faust would return Caen's name to him, and gift the lost miqo'te with that of his own surname, &amp;quot;Jabari&amp;quot; until his memories returned. Caen was timid and shy around the other kids in Vesper, while many of them were around their eleventh year, as he was, he felt terrified to be around people. His days were spent trying to piece together who he was, and his nightmares were plagued by a vision of his chasing a red-haired knight with a lance into a blinding horizon, yet he could never catch them. It wasn't until Faust took Caen along with him to trade his wares at Ul'dah, did remnants of himself return.&lt;br /&gt;
Faust briefly left Caen with Momodi of ''The Quicksand'' while he went to trade his wares at market. It was then that Caen witnessed the sorrow of a beautiful lady named Sarisa Clementine. A band of adventurers, her comrades tried anything they could to get her to find hope that her lover had survived the Battle Of Carteneau, but she would turn them away. Caen was overcome with a need to make her smile, and approached her, initiating conversation. Sarisa was so shocked that a mysterious boy would just walk up and chat with her, that she obliged. The two would meet at ''The Quicksand'' and talk often, about Caen's missing memories, and of Sarisa and her love for her fiancee, Lieru. And one day, Caen sang to her... a ballad conjured from the depths of his mind... and for the first time in a long time, she smiled. It was then that Caen decided, it was smiles like hers he wanted to one day protect. And he would be the light in the darkness for those who had lost their own. He dreamt of a world without sorrow, without war or bloodshed, and became determined to become strong enough to herald the arrival of such a world.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:RainyCaen.jpg|left|RainyCaen.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
===Five Years Later... (2.0)===&lt;br /&gt;
After convincing Faust to journey to Mor Dhona and find his wife Maria, Caen had sang in the streets of Ul'dah for gil, while also finding an opportunity to become a messenger bearing secret letters for groups that would not like to see them taken from moogles. It was Naih'ir Molkot and Momodi of ''The Quicksand'' that would offer Caen a real job, washing dishes and serving the patrons of the inn. During this time, Caen would also find habit of &amp;quot;perching&amp;quot; atop the rails of the room, conversing with strangers and getting them to detail their adventures outside the desert, having no memory of the world beyond. Caen still yearns for a place to call home once again, and prays that the Twelve might offer a hint as to why his memory was taken from him. Still, he wields a confident smirk and a bright yellow attire, in a hope to be a light for everyone and make them smile...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Brave New Realm (2.1)===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen could say his life changed when he met a group of adventurers in the Quicksand. The first man was a Dragoon named Artorias Mason. At first the Huyr was a marvel to behold, capable of endless feats and even more knowledge. He had had everything... and lost it all to the Empire. He was an inspiration... yet darkness existed in the mans heart having lost all he held dear. He denied the Gods existence and placed Caen's undying faith to the Twelve among the ranks of the pathetic; an event that shook the boy to his core and giving him doubt for the first time.  During a trip out to Crescent Cove, Caen and Artorias run in with Garrett Slater, a free-paladin in training. Caen shows them both a crashed Garlean vessel, rusted and long-dead, when they are attacked by a giant yarzon. After defeating the vilekin, Garrett and Artorias meet in private when Caen is suddenly caught in a Garlean ambush. In a narrow victory, the group is able to flee towards Ul'dah to return Caen to the Quicksand. The following day, Caen was approached by a woman named Kelvena, who searches for her father Ikus and his mercenary company Lost Rogues. When she finds out that Caen has never been outside Ul'dah, she, Artorias, and Garrett decide to take the boy to Limsa Lominsa. There, it is revealed that Artorias plans to kill himself after fighting the primals and defeating Gaius von Baelsar. Although Caen pleads with him, Artorias' mind is made up and he eventually leaves. It is then that Kelvena and Garrett take Caen to Gridania... where Caen visits the Lancer's Guild and finds the Last Letter of the Swifttail. These last written words of his older brother, Vailyx ensure that Caen really is Caen, and that he should continue to live his own life as his father and mother had wanted. Still wishing he could remember his family, Caen tries to find solace among his new friends. Artorias senses the boy's strife and bids Kelvena look after Caen like an older sister.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Shards of the Forsaken (2.2)===&lt;br /&gt;
One night, Caen began hearing voices in his head, including images and emotions felt by people he didn't know. This led him to run off into the Gold Court unable to control his own pain. Garrett, Kelvena, and Artorias would try to help Caen... only to be approached by two enigmatic miqo'te. Tiergan Vashir and An'nai came to find Caen, but after Artorias threatened Tiergan, the miqo'te let slip that Caen may, in fact have a shard within him, allowing him to tap into latent power and talk with others over long distances. It was only after Caen got his control over his emotions that Brynhilde Wulf appeared before the lad. After inspecting the boy, she made it clear to everyone that he was not one of the shard bearers... but in his mind, Caen could hear her saying something different. He was a shard-bearer... and a rune slowly affixed itself above Caen's heart.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Seekers (2.3)===&lt;br /&gt;
It was the day when Caen was waiting to be deployed with a handful of other new Flame cadets to the Sagolii desert. The information broker, Lurial Vashir found Caen first and told him the truth. His family was still alive, and his older cousins had survived the moonfall five years ago. Shocked, the miqo'te boy grew quickly attached to both Lurial and Tiergan.&lt;br /&gt;
Caen's Flame deployment also ended quickly, as sand worms attacked the site of the training grounds. With the telepathic assistance from afar through the link, Caen was able to drag the soldier caravan and a few survivors back to Ul'dah. Caen was granted a scout position, which was limited to parcel and supply delivery, if only for the boy's speed and diligence.&lt;br /&gt;
The dark hood of the Entudenin reared its head and began to attack shard-bearers, Caen included. At one point, Caen was pushed off of the high walls of Coerthas by a dark agent of the Entudenin. The boy was paralyzed from the waist down and after three days, was found by Tiergan, who had to fight past two agents to rescue his cousin. Caen was taken to the Shroud for extensive healing and afterwards, found himself hiding from the shard-bearer headquarters, afraid of being attacked by another of the dark hoods.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Taken (2.55)===&lt;br /&gt;
As the moon cycled around the world over and over, Caen took up his old errand-tail ways by delivering letters for different people in Ul'dah, and occasionally the other nations of Eorzea. However, due to the sensitive information he unwittingly carried, he was made a target by the Syndicate agents after he was seen handing over letters addressed to the Sultana. On the night where the Eorzean Alliance were greeting the ambassadors from Ishgard, fighting began to break out in the city. Caen was chased by a few of the brass blades through the Gold Court, and nearly made it to the Royal Promenade, where he was knocked out by an ambush. Caen was imprisoned, and then sold into a slave ring with the rest of the prisoners that sat in the Ul'dahn cells. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== These Eyes of Mine (3.1)===&lt;br /&gt;
It was soon discovered that Caen had been sold to an illegal gladiator ring where slaves were matched against each other for fictional lands and titles in a game played by the nobility of Ul'dah. The boy was forced to surrender his self-made vows to never take a life, as some fights in the ring were kill or be killed. His only possessions were a wicked pair of twin daggers that he was taught to use by another fellow slave named Yae. After numerous attempts to escape and push letters from windows, Lurial Vashir and a number of brave souls, including her brother Tiergan, were able to locate Caen and organized an assault on the ringleader's mansion. Only known as her moniker, &amp;quot;The Woman&amp;quot;, Caen's master threw all of her slaves and guards at the band of rescuers and even drugged Caen and set him upon his former friends. Caen was rendered unconscious during the fight and taken to the Forgotten Springs for healing and rest. After waking up, Caen felt terrified to meet his cousins and friends again. He perceived his soul and eyes to be stained with the lives he was forced to take during his time as a gladiator. For the time being, he subtly struggles to continue wearing the mask of unbridled happiness just as he did before. The lad now carries a pain in his heart and wonders if he even deserves to live after betraying his promise to never stain his hands with blood. In spite of his inner turmoil, he made preparations to become an adventurer himself and sought employment in Ishgard, recently united with the Eorzean Alliance. Employed as a supply runner for Betelgeuse Bordeaux's Button Shoppe, Caen finds himself working early mornings; running across the realm to spread elaborate buttons to the rest of Eorzea's markets and weaver guilds. The lad spends alot of time in the Quicksand, stashing away his earned gil to fund an expedition to the mysteries of the northern lands where the lost boy hopes to find himself again.&lt;br /&gt;

==Character Connections==&lt;br /&gt;
There are an abundance of souls who may have crossed paths with Caen as they live in Eorzea~&lt;br /&gt;
::* Anyone who has lived in Ul'Dah for the last 2-3 years would've seen him working at ''The Quicksand.''&lt;br /&gt;
::* He's also a well-known messenger, running parcels across Thanalan for the past 3 years. It's possible you enlisted his services.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Anyone who had resided in Vesper Bay or Crescent Cove in the last 5 years.&lt;br /&gt;
::* It's possible you have seen him honing his skill in the Pugilist's Guild in Ul'dah.&lt;br /&gt;
::* He may have bugged you about your adventures or asked you if you were alright if you wandered into ''The Quicksand'' looking broody.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Although rare, it is also possible you heard him singing in the streets of Ul'dah. His favorite spots were The Gold Court, near the Thaumaturge's Guild, and the Hustling Strip.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Trivia &amp;amp; Misc==&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen will sometimes make subtle references to Final Fantasy IX.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen's songs are Final Fantasy songs given lyrics by Katethegreat19 on Youtube. He will often recall that a mysterious bard taught him these songs. All other songs or ballads are original pieces.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen is unofficially voiced by Antony Del Rio.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen will often be played with techno/dance/hip hop music in the background and his soundtrack depicts songs of this genre. Examples include artists like Imagine Dragons, Eiffel 65, and the soundtrack from the Persona series of games, just to name a few. This is a reference to Vysce's favorite music as a child.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen's desire to &amp;quot;protect everyone's smiles&amp;quot; is a reference to the Kamen Rider series, particularly Kamen Rider OOO.&lt;br /&gt;

::* All of Caen's family have lighter-colored hair, with him and his father having the only dark hair amongst their relatives. This is an allusion to Caen's player's (Vysce) actual family where the entire family is composed of people with blond hair, save for Vysce, who was born blond yet later grew dark mahogany.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Sarisa and Lieru are from a love-story, rped by Caen's player in ''Guild Wars 2''. Lieru is also the first character he ever created.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen's yellow eyes are a tip of the hat to his player's time rping in ''Star Wars: The Old Republic'' where he wielded a yellow lightsaber.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen will often sing &amp;quot;Fish! Fish! Fish!&amp;quot; when offered a cooked fish. This is a reference to the champion Fizz from ''League of Legends.''&lt;br /&gt;
::* The lad's theme is the &amp;quot;Netsky&amp;quot; remix of the song ''Finale'' by Madeon. When dueling him, a faster version of the song will play. His other themes include ''I'm Alive'' by Becca, and ''New Divide'' by Linkin Park.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen is always 100% IC, even when out leveling. SO if you see him, don't hesitate to say hello!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;''&amp;quot;Believe in me, for my resolve does not waver, nor can it be fractured.&amp;quot; ~Vailyx the Swifttail''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Caen Jabari''' is a young miqo'te who was found washed ashore in Vesper Bay on the day of the Great Calamity. Caen remembered nothing of his first eleven years, and woke up to a world he did not remember living in. All he had on him, besides the tattered rags that covered his body, were water-logged letters addressed to &amp;quot;Caen&amp;quot; from an older brother &amp;quot;Vailyx&amp;quot; and held together by a pair of violet earrings. Thankfully, the kinder fisherman, Faust Jabari was able to find the young miqo'te and semi-raised the boy to be able to live on his own. After five years, not only has Eorzea changed, but so has the young seeker of the sun.&lt;br /&gt;

===Appearance===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;You may be Ul'dah's desert canary, but you bear the heart of the phoenix, Caen.  You can always reignite and fly again.&amp;quot;'' ~Tiergan Vashir&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caen sports a wide-eyed, youthful face with bronzed skin due to living under the desert sun for years. Although he's lived in Ul'dah in the summers he remembers, Caen sports a slight Lominsan accent due to being raised in the city beside the Rhotano. His eyes are a bright amber and his large canines tend to show when he grins with his teeth. The lad also sports a shaggy mane of royal blue hair that would attempt to curl inwards over his face, yet it is mostly kept covered by a light head-wrapping. On his left cheek, he bears a X-shaped scar. Caen is best well known by his choice of attire; his bright yellow-coloured garb, to show off his love for the sunlight. His favorite articles of clothing usually include loose sarouel and leather boots or crakows. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Personality===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:CaenJabari.jpg|left|CaenJabari.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
Caen is wild and carefree making him a perfect candidate for odd jobs through-out Thanalan and Ul'dah herself. A friend to everyone, the boy is cheerful and will rarely hesitate to chat up a stranger. His favorite pastime is residing within ''The Quicksand'' to watch the comings and goings of adventurers, occasionally prodding them for tales of their adventures outside the desert. This, often than not, leads the lad into troublesome situations. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;font-size:40px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Martial Arts&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
===Fighting Style===&lt;br /&gt;
::*Caen is naturally gifted with hand-to-hand combat, but is clumsy as a toddler when it comes to a sword. During his childhood in Limsa Lominsa, he was often made fun of for his Hyuran name, which led to many street brawls with the local bullies. He taught himself how to punch, kick, and dodge out of attacks when overwhelmed, becoming effective at fighting many targets at once.&lt;br /&gt;
::*When his brother Vailyx began to take up the art of the Lance, Caen naturally went out and carved his own pole-arm out of a fallen tree branch to teach himself to do that as well, desiring skills better than his perfect brother. Vailyx was never to busy to show Caen up and belittle the boy on his flawed techniques, yet managed to teach him proper form over the course of three years. By berating his younger brother on what not to do, he effectively taught him how to use the lance as an extension of his arm. And although Caen was never old enough to leave Limsa and study the lance abroad, Vailyx was secretly proud of Caen.&lt;br /&gt;
::*Caen continued to pave his way through the Thanalan with his fists after he had awoken from losing his memory. After saving his foster-father, Faust, from a yarzon swarm a month after awakening, he took Caen  to the Pugilist's Guild within Ul'dah, where the boy would hone his skills. While mostly his training pertained of running errands for the Holyfist, Hamon, Caen did occasionally teach himself a less-clumsy fighting style after watching the students spar.&lt;br /&gt;
::*Caen often speaks of how beautiful and interesting he believes swords to be, but he cannot properly wield one on his own. When he does, he finds the blade &amp;quot;rejecting&amp;quot; him. Still he finds them incredibly intriguing.&lt;br /&gt;
::*Recently, the yellow-clad miqo'te has shown an impressive form using twin daggers. His agility from his training under Hamon and acrobatic nature have benefitted him greatly in close-quarters combat.&lt;br /&gt;

===Aliases/Nicknames===&lt;br /&gt;
::* '''Canary''': After many attempts to get the lonely adventurer Sarisa Clementine to smile, Caen finally succeeded after singing a ballad to her one morning. She smiled for the first time in two years, since Carteneau, and called him her Canary. It has become a rare nickname for Caen, as few know of it, yet he will cherish it forever. It was also a name called to him by his mother, V'ira, when she taught him to sing as a child.&lt;br /&gt;
::* '''Chocobo''': Called this by his close friends, Caen is often compared to the yellow flightless bird of Eorzea, due to his bright yellow choice of clothing.&lt;br /&gt;
::* '''Blue Wolf''': Only the residents of Vesper Bay would call Caen by such. Once when he was skinny-dipping in the Bay, a group of bullies thought it would be funny to steal his clothes. Stark-naked, Caen stealthily tried to make it back to Faust's house to no avail, as the streets were rather crowded. He soon came across a pail of blue paint, and, seeing it as his only option, dumped it all over himself. He would then dart through the streets, on all fours, to Faust's home, terrifying the citizenry who lay sight to the &amp;quot;Blue Wolf Monster&amp;quot;. After Faust explained the truth to everyone to avoid panic, it became a running gag within the small town's residents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;  font-size:30px;  color:#FFFFFF&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Relationships&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
===Family===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Father: C'aseen the Poet, ''deceased''&lt;br /&gt;
::* Mother: V'ira Tarja, ''deceased''&lt;br /&gt;
::* Older Brother: Vailyx the Swifttail, ''missing in action''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Foster Father: Faust Jabari, A hyuran fisherman and resident of Vesper Bay. He was fishing off the coast of Crescent Cove when he noticed a small boy clinging to a large piece of driftwood in the sea. He became Caen's foster father, and attempted to teach Caen the ways of the world the boy had forgotten about.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Cousin: '''[[Tiergan Vashir]]''', One of Caen's only living blood-relatives. Since he learned that Caen is his long-lost cousin, Teigan is fiercely protective of the lad, trying to be the brother Vailyx would have been to Caen. Caen loves his cousin dearly, and often tries to act out to make the older miqo'te proud of him. Caen, unbeknownst to Tiergan, would often stalk his cousin in order to study him and adopt his mannerisms. Still, much of Tiergan's past is a mystery to Caen, as the boy is unsure whether it is inappropriate to ask. Even still, friends often mistake Tiergan and Caen for brothers, and the two would go along with it, as Caen feels that Tiergan is a great older brother, in Vailyx's absence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Cousin: '''[[Lurial Vashir]]''', One of Caen's only living blood-relatives. Luri was able to track down the youngest son of her aunt V'ira to the streets of Ul'dah. When she connected the dots, she came to Caen and revealed the truth to him. While Caen hides inner worry of being apart of a family again, he cannot help but feel at home again, in a place where he belongs. Until her recent disappearance, Caen had stayed in her home in the city of Ul'dah... now Caen searches for his cousin hoping to reunite them again as she once did for him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Bodyguard: '''[[Furious Storm]]''', The bodyguard of Lurial Vashir, Caen and &amp;quot;Fury&amp;quot; instantly became best friends when Caen decided to break the shyness between them by bringing the roegadyn a warm apple tart after his first night at Lurial's home. Now the two are basically inseparable, and Caen never forgets to bring the large mute treats from around Thanalan. While he did vanish around the same time as Lurial, he still sends him treats and candy via moogle post, as they can apparently track the roegadyn better than Caen could.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Friends===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caen has had the fortune of meeting all kinds of souls by hanging near ''The Quicksand'' after leaving Vesper Bay when Faust journeyed to Mor Dhona to find his wife, Maria. Some have touched his lives more than others and even after quitting his job serving patrons for Momodi, he still eats most of his meals there and hangs around for a good while after. Being the jewel of the sand, Ul'dah is frequented by many and Caen makes a good attempt to meet them all, offering strangers a friendly flap of his ears and a story exchange to boot.&lt;br /&gt;

((friend's list coming soon T-T))&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Chocobos===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen has always had a great affinity for befriending chocobos. He often wished to become a chocobo porter or breeder when he was younger. Some will find he actually talks to them. In moments of stress, the lad will often wander near chocobos and pet/talk to them. Since the birds seem to enjoy his company, many nearby porters or breeders don't mind his presence. It's not entirely sure if Caen wears yellow to display his love for chocobos or for the sun, since he favors both. Yet when asked, he will mention that he might favor chocobos more because you can't hug the sun. He dreams of having a chocobo of his own someday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Enemies===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caen doesn't have any real enemies that he knows of. He has lived an honest life and cannot hold a grudge to save it. Even when disrespected or belittled by an individual, he is quick to forgive all after sleeping it off, and greets them the next day, cheerful as ever.&lt;br /&gt;

==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;font-size:40px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;The Story&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:CaenByEdge.jpg|right|CaenByEdge.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
===The Legacy of C'aseen the Poet===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen's father, known as C'aseen the Poet by his brothers in arms, was a monk in the ranks of the Fists of Rhalgr. At a young age, he abandoned his tribe along with his best friend F'une to study the ways of balance and the fist, and later came to unlock his hidden chakra. Although he claimed to be a pacifist, C'aseen yearned for unmatched power so that he could defend his way of life unopposed, whereas F'une was more aggressive, and fully embraced the way of The Destroyer. C'aseen would make a habit of sharing his small wealth with the less fortunate of Ala Mhigo, and aiding in small jobs among the lower class, behind F'une's back. He would thatch holes in roofs, gather game, and pull caravans himself. He was also known by his spouts of poetry that he would preach about the world and life. It was then, he met a woman named V'ira Tarja and fell madly in love with her. Traditions of his kind be damned, he would spend nights singing ballads to her... not knowing she was fighting feelings for him. Eventually they would come together and sire a white-haired boy who V'ira named Vailyx.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Vailyx, the Swifttail of Ala Mhigo===&lt;br /&gt;
Vailyx grew into a wild-cat like his mother, yet bore the confidence of his father. Fond of all manner of mischief, he grew up alongside his best friend and cousin Tiergan Vashir. Along with Tiergan's sister Lurial, the trio would cast bouts of chaos among the lower levels of Ala Mhigo. Dodoes would suddenly find their pens opened and run through the streets, food from merchant stalls would go missing, and there was even one incident when the three road atop a chocobo taken back from a corrupt tax collector for their neighbor, who was struggling to make ends meet. Vailyx was always there to save his friends from peril, coming out with a bloody nose and a few other bruises; his trade-mark fanged smirk not wavering. He named himself the ''Swifttail'' of Ala Mhigo, claiming it was a title bestowed by the Twelve for his cunning and speed, but in truth, he merely thought it sounded cool and intimidating. At one point, he even dyed his long, white hair into a bright red colour, so that he would look like a fiery comet as he rushed through the streets and rooftops. Their childhood was happy... but it was not to last.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Escape from Ala Mhigo===&lt;br /&gt;
Vailyx was eight years old when the Empire lay waste to Ala Mhigo in their campaign to take over Eorzea. F'une attempted to sneak C'aseen and his family onto a refugee caravan, fleeing the city amongst the chaos. This act cost F'une his life, but ensured his comrade's safety. V'ira's family lost or missing, C'aseen thought it would be best to take his family far from Ala Mhigo and start over, eventually booking them a passage to Limsa Lominsa, the entire journey from Ala Mhigo to Limsa taking two years. It would be there that V'ira bore another child, a small blue-haired boy with amber eyes named Caen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Caen, The Amber Dawn===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen's childhood in Limsa Lominsa was a rather happy one. C'aseen sought to join the ranks of the Maelstrom, the Grand Company of Limsa, and Vailyx sought to become a warrior like his father. This left Caen alone most of the time, when he was able to wander off without V'ira. Caen was the representation of a new and happy life for the four, and a hope for the future. As Caen grew older, he adopted a mixture of his family traits. While his mischief wasn't as grand as Vailyx's schemes back in Ala Mhigo, they often led to street brawls with the local bullies who beat Caen, as he was a miqo'te with the hyuran name. During the brawls, many of the &amp;quot;bullies&amp;quot; came to like the boy, as the miqo'te never fought as if he was fighting for his life and instead fighting for the fun of it. It became clear that it was difficult to become enemies with the boy, and most of his hyran adversaries turned into good friends or friendly rivals. When he wasn't tussling in the lower decks, Caen would climb to the higher towers of Limsa, looking out at the sea to watch his father fish, and see ships come in to port. He came to know almost everyone, as he was quite nosey, and always was willing to lend a helping hand to a downtrodden stranger. V'ira would teach the young kitten to sing, to aid him in his quest to make all strangers happy, but not without warning the boy of the dangers of the world.&lt;br /&gt;
By the time Caen grew to his ninth year, he was already a thorn in his older brother's side. Constantly trying to show Vailyx up was a favorite pastime of his, while Vailyx had grown cold by comparison, still mourning the deaths of his two best friends Tiergan and Lurial. He was well on his way to becoming worthy enough to study in the ways of a Dragoon, which Caen would lovingly attempt to mimic. By Caen's tenth year, Vailyx has sought to forgive himself for not being able to save Tiergan and Lurial, seeing much of his younger self in Caen, who would bring light and joy to his terrible sorrow and cast it aside. For the first time, Caen was able to break through his older brother's cold exterior, and the brothers would bond happily for the next year. Another year passed... and with it, the Grand Companies of Eorzea prepared to meet Nael Van Darnus's VIIth Legion on the fields of Carteneau.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Cruelty of Fate===&lt;br /&gt;
C'aseen and Vailyx had made up their minds to fight alongside the Maelstrom forces at Carteneau. Yet, as Dalamud had lowered closer to Eorzea, Vailyx feared that the battle would not be won, and urged V'ira to take Caen on a ship and flee the continent. Caen took this terribly, and took up his practice lance, trying to fight Vailyx to let him go with them. Vailyx, out of options, slashed the practice lance in half and cut his brother across the cheek in an attempt to make his brother hate him, so that he wouldn't want to join them at Carteneau. Caen, now sporting a nasty cross-shaped wound, flung himself at his brother, understanding his fears and embracing him one last time. Vailyx would hand his mother letters to Caen, and, embracing them one last time, rushed off to join C'aseen at the battle. Caen and V'ira were able to get passage to a ship heading for another continent with other refugees, yet as Dalamud drew ever closer, the captain of their ship, Kruz Rosgaldornyn, revealed his ugly plot to turn the ship towards Ul'dah, and sell everyone aboard as slaves into the Ul'dahn underground black market. Kruz would attempt to seize V'ira and have his way with the miqo'te woman before they arrived, but Caen begged and pleaded him to release her, offering his own life in exchange. A twisted being, Kruz agreed, and took the young lad to his quarters, where he tortured the boy for making him look weak in front of his crew. As the beating grew worse, Caen could not take it anymore and bit the man's ear off. Enraged, Kruz tied the boy down and prepared to cut Caen's tail off. Before the blow was struck, V'ira burst down the door, stunning Kruz with a glass bottle to the face and released Caen. As they rushed to a lifeboat, the waves grew restless and aggressive, and the skies turned violent. Flares rained down from the sky, flinging themselves into the deep ocean. Amidst the chaos, V'ira removed her violet earrings and wrapped them around Vailyx's letters, tucking them into Caen's jacket. She embraced her son for the last time, and the ship was hit by one of Bahamut's flares. Caen was thrust into the air along with debris from the ship, the bodies of refugees, and V'ira. He reached for her, in an attempt to fly towards her again, and screamed her name, just as she was engulfed by flames. Caen hit the water with a terrible force... and fell into the abyss of his mind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Awakening to Null===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen awoke to a warm bed, in the small home of Faust Jabari, a fisherman in Vesper Bay. He had been asleep for nearly a week. When Faust asked the boy his name, the boy could not recall. In fact he knew not who he was, nor where he was... nor why Faust had no tail when the lad had one. Faust attempted to look through the letters Caen had washed ashore with, yet they were almost too water-logged to read. All he could make out is they were addressed to &amp;quot;Caen&amp;quot;... from someone named Vailyx. Taking a shot in the dark, Faust would return Caen's name to him, and gift the lost miqo'te with that of his own surname, &amp;quot;Jabari&amp;quot; until his memories returned. Caen was timid and shy around the other kids in Vesper, while many of them were around their eleventh year, as he was, he felt terrified to be around people. His days were spent trying to piece together who he was, and his nightmares were plagued by a vision of his chasing a red-haired knight with a lance into a blinding horizon, yet he could never catch them. It wasn't until Faust took Caen along with him to trade his wares at Ul'dah, did remnants of himself return.&lt;br /&gt;
Faust briefly left Caen with Momodi of ''The Quicksand'' while he went to trade his wares at market. It was then that Caen witnessed the sorrow of a beautiful lady named Sarisa Clementine. A band of adventurers, her comrades tried anything they could to get her to find hope that her lover had survived the Battle Of Carteneau, but she would turn them away. Caen was overcome with a need to make her smile, and approached her, initiating conversation. Sarisa was so shocked that a mysterious boy would just walk up and chat with her, that she obliged. The two would meet at ''The Quicksand'' and talk often, about Caen's missing memories, and of Sarisa and her love for her fiancee, Lieru. And one day, Caen sang to her... a ballad conjured from the depths of his mind... and for the first time in a long time, she smiled. It was then that Caen decided, it was smiles like hers he wanted to one day protect. And he would be the light in the darkness for those who had lost their own. He dreamt of a world without sorrow, without war or bloodshed, and became determined to become strong enough to herald the arrival of such a world.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:RainyCaen.jpg|left|RainyCaen.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
===Five Years Later... (2.0)===&lt;br /&gt;
After convincing Faust to journey to Mor Dhona and find his wife Maria, Caen had sang in the streets of Ul'dah for gil, while also finding an opportunity to become a messenger bearing secret letters for groups that would not like to see them taken from moogles. It was Naih'ir Molkot and Momodi of ''The Quicksand'' that would offer Caen a real job, washing dishes and serving the patrons of the inn. During this time, Caen would also find habit of &amp;quot;perching&amp;quot; atop the rails of the room, conversing with strangers and getting them to detail their adventures outside the desert, having no memory of the world beyond. Caen still yearns for a place to call home once again, and prays that the Twelve might offer a hint as to why his memory was taken from him. Still, he wields a confident smirk and a bright yellow attire, in a hope to be a light for everyone and make them smile...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Brave New Realm (2.1)===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen could say his life changed when he met a group of adventurers in the Quicksand. The first man was a Dragoon named Artorias Mason. At first the Huyr was a marvel to behold, capable of endless feats and even more knowledge. He had had everything... and lost it all to the Empire. He was an inspiration... yet darkness existed in the mans heart having lost all he held dear. He denied the Gods existence and placed Caen's undying faith to the Twelve among the ranks of the pathetic; an event that shook the boy to his core and giving him doubt for the first time.  During a trip out to Crescent Cove, Caen and Artorias run in with Garrett Slater, a free-paladin in training. Caen shows them both a crashed Garlean vessel, rusted and long-dead, when they are attacked by a giant yarzon. After defeating the vilekin, Garrett and Artorias meet in private when Caen is suddenly caught in a Garlean ambush. In a narrow victory, the group is able to flee towards Ul'dah to return Caen to the Quicksand. The following day, Caen was approached by a woman named Kelvena, who searches for her father Ikus and his mercenary company Lost Rogues. When she finds out that Caen has never been outside Ul'dah, she, Artorias, and Garrett decide to take the boy to Limsa Lominsa. There, it is revealed that Artorias plans to kill himself after fighting the primals and defeating Gaius von Baelsar. Although Caen pleads with him, Artorias' mind is made up and he eventually leaves. It is then that Kelvena and Garrett take Caen to Gridania... where Caen visits the Lancer's Guild and finds the Last Letter of the Swifttail. These last written words of his older brother, Vailyx ensure that Caen really is Caen, and that he should continue to live his own life as his father and mother had wanted. Still wishing he could remember his family, Caen tries to find solace among his new friends. Artorias senses the boy's strife and bids Kelvena look after Caen like an older sister.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Shards of the Forsaken (2.2)===&lt;br /&gt;
One night, Caen began hearing voices in his head, including images and emotions felt by people he didn't know. This led him to run off into the Gold Court unable to control his own pain. Garrett, Kelvena, and Artorias would try to help Caen... only to be approached by two enigmatic miqo'te. Tiergan Vashir and An'nai came to find Caen, but after Artorias threatened Tiergan, the miqo'te let slip that Caen may, in fact have a shard within him, allowing him to tap into latent power and talk with others over long distances. It was only after Caen got his control over his emotions that Brynhilde Wulf appeared before the lad. After inspecting the boy, she made it clear to everyone that he was not one of the shard bearers... but in his mind, Caen could hear her saying something different. He was a shard-bearer... and a rune slowly affixed itself above Caen's heart.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Seekers (2.3)===&lt;br /&gt;
It was the day when Caen was waiting to be deployed with a handful of other new Flame cadets to the Sagolii desert. The information broker, Lurial Vashir found Caen first and told him the truth. His family was still alive, and his older cousins had survived the moonfall five years ago. Shocked, the miqo'te boy grew quickly attached to both Lurial and Tiergan.&lt;br /&gt;
Caen's Flame deployment also ended quickly, as sand worms attacked the site of the training grounds. With the telepathic assistance from afar through the link, Caen was able to drag the soldier caravan and a few survivors back to Ul'dah. Caen was granted a scout position, which was limited to parcel and supply delivery, if only for the boy's speed and diligence.&lt;br /&gt;
The dark hood of the Entudenin reared its head and began to attack shard-bearers, Caen included. At one point, Caen was pushed off of the high walls of Coerthas by a dark agent of the Entudenin. The boy was paralyzed from the waist down and after three days, was found by Tiergan, who had to fight past two agents to rescue his cousin. Caen was taken to the Shroud for extensive healing and afterwards, found himself hiding from the shard-bearer headquarters, afraid of being attacked by another of the dark hoods.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Taken (2.55)===&lt;br /&gt;
As the moon cycled around the world over and over, Caen took up his old errand-tail ways by delivering letters for different people in Ul'dah, and occasionally the other nations of Eorzea. However, due to the sensitive information he unwittingly carried, he was made a target by the Syndicate agents after he was seen handing over letters addressed to the Sultana. On the night where the Eorzean Alliance were greeting the ambassadors from Ishgard, fighting began to break out in the city. Caen was chased by a few of the brass blades through the Gold Court, and nearly made it to the Royal Promenade, where he was knocked out by an ambush. Caen was imprisoned, and then sold into a slave ring with the rest of the prisoners that sat in the Ul'dahn cells. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== These Eyes of Mine (3.1)===&lt;br /&gt;
It was soon discovered that Caen had been sold to an illegal gladiator ring where slaves were matched against each other for fictional lands and titles in a game played by the nobility of Ul'dah. The boy was forced to surrender his self-made vows to never take a life, as some fights in the ring were kill or be killed. His only possessions were a wicked pair of twin daggers that he was taught to use by another fellow slave named Yae. After numerous attempts to escape and push letters from windows, Lurial Vashir and a number of brave souls, including her brother Tiergan, were able to locate Caen and organized an assault on the ringleader's mansion. Only known as her moniker, &amp;quot;The Woman&amp;quot;, Caen's master threw all of her slaves and guards at the band of rescuers and even drugged Caen and set him upon his former friends. Caen was rendered unconscious during the fight and taken to the Forgotten Springs for healing and rest. After waking up, Caen felt terrified to meet his cousins and friends again. He perceived his soul and eyes to be stained with the lives he was forced to take during his time as a gladiator. For the time being, he subtly struggles to continue wearing the mask of unbridled happiness just as he did before. The lad now carries a pain in his heart and wonders if he even deserves to live after betraying his promise to never stain his hands with blood. In spite of his inner turmoil, he made preparations to become an adventurer himself and sought employment in Ishgard, recently united with the Eorzean Alliance. Employed as a supply runner for Betelgeuse Bordeaux's Button Shoppe, Caen finds himself working early mornings; running across the realm to spread elaborate buttons to the rest of Eorzea's markets and weaver guilds. The lad spends alot of time in the Quicksand, stashing away his earned gil to fund an expedition to the mysteries of the northern lands where the lost boy hopes to find himself again.&lt;br /&gt;

::* He may have bugged you about your adventures or asked you if you were alright if you wandered into ''The Quicksand'' looking broody.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Although rare, it is also possible you heard him singing in the streets of Ul'dah. His favorite spots were The Gold Court, near the Thaumaturge's Guild, and the Hustling Strip.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Trivia &amp;amp; Misc==&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen will sometimes make subtle references to Final Fantasy IX.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen's songs are Final Fantasy songs given lyrics by Katethegreat19 on Youtube. He will often recall that a mysterious bard taught him these songs. All other songs or ballads are original pieces.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen is unofficially voiced by Antony Del Rio.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen will often be played with techno/dance/hip hop music in the background and his soundtrack depicts songs of this genre. Examples include artists like Imagine Dragons, Eiffel 65, and the soundtrack from the Persona series of games, just to name a few. This is a reference to Vysce's favorite music as a child.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen's desire to &amp;quot;protect everyone's smiles&amp;quot; is a reference to the Kamen Rider series, particularly Kamen Rider OOO.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen's patron deity Azeyma is close to the word Asthma, which Caen's player was temporarily sick with while creating Caen.&lt;br /&gt;
::* All of Caen's family have lighter-colored hair, with him and his father having the only dark hair amongst their relatives. This is an allusion to Caen's player's (Vysce) actual family where the entire family is composed of people with blond hair, save for Vysce, who was born blond yet later grew dark mahogany.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Sarisa and Lieru are from a love-story, rped by Caen's player in ''Guild Wars 2''. Lieru is also the first character he ever created.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen's yellow eyes are a tip of the hat to his player's time rping in ''Star Wars: The Old Republic'' where he wielded a yellow lightsaber.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen will often sing &amp;quot;Fish! Fish! Fish!&amp;quot; when offered a cooked fish. This is a reference to the champion Fizz from ''League of Legends.''&lt;br /&gt;
::* The lad's theme is the &amp;quot;Netsky&amp;quot; remix of the song ''Finale'' by Madeon. When dueling him, a faster version of the song will play. His other themes include ''I'm Alive'' by Becca, and ''New Divide'' by Linkin Park.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen is always 100% IC, even when out leveling. SO if you see him, don't hesitate to say hello!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;''&amp;quot;Believe in me, for my resolve does not waver, nor can it be fractured.&amp;quot; ~Vailyx the Swifttail''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Caen Jabari''' is a young miqo'te who was found washed ashore in Vesper Bay on the day of the Great Calamity. Caen remembered nothing of his first eleven years, and woke up to a world he did not remember living in. All he had on him, besides the tattered rags that covered his body, were water-logged letters addressed to &amp;quot;Caen&amp;quot; from an older brother &amp;quot;Vailyx&amp;quot; and held together by a pair of violet earrings. Thankfully, the kinder fisherman, Faust Jabari was able to find the young miqo'te and semi-raised the boy to be able to live on his own. After five years, not only has Eorzea changed, but so has the young seeker of the sun.&lt;br /&gt;

===Appearance===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;You may be Ul'dah's desert canary, but you bear the heart of the phoenix, Caen.  You can always reignite and fly again.&amp;quot;'' ~Tiergan Vashir&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caen sports a wide-eyed, youthful face with bronzed skin due to living under the desert sun for years. Although he's lived in Ul'dah in the summers he remembers, Caen sports a slight Lominsan accent due to being raised in the city beside the Rhotano. His eyes are a bright amber and his large canines tend to show when he grins with his teeth. The lad also sports a shaggy mane of royal blue hair that would attempt to curl inwards over his face, yet it is mostly kept covered by a light head-wrapping. On his left cheek, he bears a X-shaped scar. Caen is best well known by his choice of attire; his bright yellow-coloured garb, to show off his love for the sunlight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Personality===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:CaenJabari.jpg|left|CaenJabari.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
Caen is wild and carefree making him a perfect candidate for odd jobs through-out Thanalan and Ul'dah herself. A friend to everyone, the boy is cheerful and will rarely hesitate to chat up a stranger. His favorite pastime is residing within ''The Quicksand'' to watch the comings and goings of adventurers, occasionally prodding them for tales of their adventures outside the desert. This, often than not, leads the lad into troublesome situations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;font-size:40px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Martial Arts&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
===Fighting Style===&lt;br /&gt;
::*Caen is naturally gifted with hand-to-hand combat, but is clumsy as a toddler when it comes to a sword. During his childhood in Limsa Lominsa, he was often made fun of for his Hyuran name, which led to many street brawls with the local bullies. He taught himself how to punch, kick, and dodge out of attacks when overwhelmed, becoming effective at fighting many targets at once.&lt;br /&gt;
::*When his brother Vailyx began to take up the art of the Lance, Caen naturally went out and carved his own pole-arm out of a fallen tree branch to teach himself to do that as well, desiring skills better than his perfect brother. Vailyx was never to busy to show Caen up and belittle the boy on his flawed techniques, yet managed to teach him proper form over the course of three years. By berating his younger brother on what not to do, he effectively taught him how to use the lance as an extension of his arm. And although Caen was never old enough to leave Limsa and study the lance abroad, Vailyx was secretly proud of Caen.&lt;br /&gt;
::*Caen continued to pave his way through the Thanalan with his fists after he had awoken from losing his memory. After saving his foster-father, Faust, from a yarzon swarm a month after awakening, he took Caen  to the Pugilist's Guild within Ul'dah, where the boy would hone his skills. While mostly his training pertained of running errands for the Holyfist, Hamon, Caen did occasionally teach himself a less-clumsy fighting style after watching the students spar.&lt;br /&gt;
::*Caen often speaks of how beautiful and interesting he believes swords to be, but he cannot properly wield one on his own. When he does, he finds the blade &amp;quot;rejecting&amp;quot; him. Still he finds them incredibly intriguing.&lt;br /&gt;
::*Recently, the yellow-clad miqo'te has shown an impressive form using twin daggers. His agility from his training under Hamon and acrobatic nature have benefitted him greatly in close-quarters combat.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Aliases/Nicknames===&lt;br /&gt;
::* '''Canary''': After many attempts to get the lonely adventurer Sarisa Clementine to smile, Caen finally succeeded after singing a ballad to her one morning. She smiled for the first time in two years, since Carteneau, and called him her Canary. It has become a rare nickname for Caen, as few know of it, yet he will cherish it forever. It was also a name called to him by his mother, V'ira, when she taught him to sing as a child.&lt;br /&gt;
::* '''Chocobo''': Called this by his close friends, Caen is often compared to the yellow flightless bird of Eorzea, due to his bright yellow choice of clothing.&lt;br /&gt;
::* '''Blue Wolf''': Only the residents of Vesper Bay would call Caen by such. Once when he was skinny-dipping in the Bay, a group of bullies thought it would be funny to steal his clothes. Stark-naked, Caen stealthily tried to make it back to Faust's house to no avail, as the streets were rather crowded. He soon came across a pail of blue paint, and, seeing it as his only option, dumped it all over himself. He would then dart through the streets, on all fours, to Faust's home, terrifying the citizenry who lay sight to the &amp;quot;Blue Wolf Monster&amp;quot;. After Faust explained the truth to everyone to avoid panic, it became a running gag within the small town's residents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;  font-size:30px;  color:#FFFFFF&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Relationships&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
===Family===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Father: C'aseen the Poet, ''deceased''&lt;br /&gt;
::* Mother: V'ira Tarja, ''deceased''&lt;br /&gt;
::* Older Brother: Vailyx the Swifttail, ''missing in action''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Foster Father: Faust Jabari, A hyuran fisherman and resident of Vesper Bay. He was fishing off the coast of Crescent Cove when he noticed a small boy clinging to a large piece of driftwood in the sea. He became Caen's foster father, and attempted to teach Caen the ways of the world the boy had forgotten about.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Cousin: '''[[Tiergan Vashir]]''', One of Caen's only living blood-relatives. Since he learned that Caen is his long-lost cousin, Teigan is fiercely protective of the lad, trying to be the brother Vailyx would have been to Caen. Caen loves his cousin dearly, and often tries to act out to make the older miqo'te proud of him. Caen, unbeknownst to Tiergan, would often stalk his cousin in order to study him and adopt his mannerisms. Still, much of Tiergan's past is a mystery to Caen, as the boy is unsure whether it is inappropriate to ask. Even still, friends often mistake Tiergan and Caen for brothers, and the two would go along with it, as Caen feels that Tiergan is a great older brother, in Vailyx's absence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Cousin: '''[[Lurial Vashir]]''', One of Caen's only living blood-relatives. Luri was able to track down the youngest son of her aunt V'ira to the streets of Ul'dah. When she connected the dots, she came to Caen and revealed the truth to him. While Caen hides inner worry of being apart of a family again, he cannot help but feel at home again, in a place where he belongs. Until her recent disappearance, Caen had stayed in her home in the city of Ul'dah... now Caen searches for his cousin hoping to reunite them again as she once did for him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Bodyguard: '''[[Furious Storm]]''', The bodyguard of Lurial Vashir, Caen and &amp;quot;Fury&amp;quot; instantly became best friends when Caen decided to break the shyness between them by bringing the roegadyn a warm apple tart after his first night at Lurial's home. Now the two are basically inseparable, and Caen never forgets to bring the large mute treats from around Thanalan. While he did vanish around the same time as Lurial, he still sends him treats and candy via moogle post, as they can apparently track the roegadyn better than Caen could.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Friends===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caen has had the fortune of meeting all kinds of souls by hanging near ''The Quicksand'' after leaving Vesper Bay when Faust journeyed to Mor Dhona to find his wife, Maria. Some have touched his lives more than others and even after quitting his job serving patrons for Momodi, he still eats most of his meals there and hangs around for a good while after. Being the jewel of the sand, Ul'dah is frequented by many and Caen makes a good attempt to meet them all, offering strangers a friendly flap of his ears and a story exchange to boot.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
((friend's list coming soon T-T))&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Chocobos===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen has always had a great affinity for befriending chocobos. He often wished to become a chocobo porter or breeder when he was younger. Some will find he actually talks to them. In moments of stress, the lad will often wander near chocobos and pet/talk to them. Since the birds seem to enjoy his company, many nearby porters or breeders don't mind his presence. It's not entirely sure if Caen wears yellow to display his love for chocobos or for the sun, since he favors both. Yet when asked, he will mention that he might favor chocobos more because you can't hug the sun. He dreams of having a chocobo of his own someday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Enemies===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caen doesn't have any real enemies that he knows of. He has lived an honest life and cannot hold a grudge to save it. Even when disrespected or belittled by an individual, he is quick to forgive all after sleeping it off, and greets them the next day, cheerful as ever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;font-size:40px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Rumours&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:PeekingCaen.jpg|center|PeekingCaen.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
===Common Rumors===&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;That there is the boy who works at Momodi's place, wiv ol' Naih'ir... the one who's always on them rails. I dunno how'ee does it, but his smile sure brightens up a room!&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;What sort of fool wears such bright yellow? If I wore such on the frontlines, archers would have me dead in seconds. If you ask me, he's just asking for death.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;Such a cutie... but what sort of name is Caen for a miqo'te? Doesn't he respect his own kind?&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moderate Rumors===&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;Shhh, don't stare... that's the boy who was kidnapped. The one by that ruffian Cade... the poor dear must've been so frightened.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot; Hah! Y'know Momodi won't let him drink? Says he's too young fer such things... but I saw him get a good boxin' 'round the ears last time he was sniffin' 'round it! Haw Haw Haw!&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;That little shite ate all my fish! Orphans... hate their scum!&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Rare Rumors===&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot; I heard him sing once, yes. It was so beautiful... but so sad. You could almost feel as if there was some pain in his heart... his very soul.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot; Didn't y'know? 'ee can't remember a lick o' who he was b'fore the moon fell them years ago. Poor bloke. Must be lonely, havin' no-one to hold yeh.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;Calls himself the 'errand-tail' of the Sultana... he's the one Raubahn trusts with those letters. Sometimes I wonder what's in them, but it seems he doesn't know himself. Best not to dwell on such things.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;They were carrying the little lad in from the Shroud. You should have heard his breathing; I was so afraid for him. A monster? No... they say it was one of those Warriors. Are even our children unsafe?&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===PC Rumors===&lt;br /&gt;

::* ''&amp;quot;Caen?  That's my younger cousin - honest, brave, and constantly getting into trouble.  He's always working to try and become a 'hero' like the rest of us, but he doesn't seem to realise he's already a strong, courageous spirit.  His elder brother Vailyx would be proud of him...&amp;quot;'' -- [[Tiergan Vashir]]&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;If there should be one person in the entirety of Hydaelyn that I wholeheartedly trust, 'tis Caen.

He's, as one would describe, like a ray of sunshine, and dresses like it too. Can't say I've seen the lad for a few days now, though.'' &amp;lt;/font&amp;gt; -an anonymous note scrawled in charcoal&lt;br /&gt;

::* ''&amp;quot;You know, he seems really nice, And he likes chocolate! You can't go wrong with that.&amp;quot; -- [[Rihxo Matoi]]&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:CaenByEdge.jpg|right|CaenByEdge.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
===The Legacy of C'aseen the Poet===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen's father, known as C'aseen the Poet by his brothers in arms, was a monk in the ranks of the Fists of Rhalgr. At a young age, he abandoned his tribe along with his best friend F'une to study the ways of balance and the fist, and later came to unlock his hidden chakra. Although he claimed to be a pacifist, C'aseen yearned for unmatched power so that he could defend his way of life unopposed, whereas F'une was more aggressive, and fully embraced the way of The Destroyer. C'aseen would make a habit of sharing his small wealth with the less fortunate of Ala Mhigo, and aiding in small jobs among the lower class, behind F'une's back. He would thatch holes in roofs, gather game, and pull caravans himself. He was also known by his spouts of poetry that he would preach about the world and life. It was then, he met a woman named V'ira Tarja and fell madly in love with her. Traditions of his kind be damned, he would spend nights singing ballads to her... not knowing she was fighting feelings for him. Eventually they would come together and sire a white-haired boy who V'ira named Vailyx.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Vailyx, the Swifttail of Ala Mhigo===&lt;br /&gt;
Vailyx grew into a wild-cat like his mother, yet bore the confidence of his father. Fond of all manner of mischief, he grew up alongside his best friend and cousin Tiergan Vashir. Along with Tiergan's sister Lurial, the trio would cast bouts of chaos among the lower levels of Ala Mhigo. Dodoes would suddenly find their pens opened and run through the streets, food from merchant stalls would go missing, and there was even one incident when the three road atop a chocobo taken back from a corrupt tax collector for their neighbor, who was struggling to make ends meet. Vailyx was always there to save his friends from peril, coming out with a bloody nose and a few other bruises; his trade-mark fanged smirk not wavering. He named himself the ''Swifttail'' of Ala Mhigo, claiming it was a title bestowed by the Twelve for his cunning and speed, but in truth, he merely thought it sounded cool and intimidating. At one point, he even dyed his long, white hair into a bright red colour, so that he would look like a fiery comet as he rushed through the streets and rooftops. Their childhood was happy... but it was not to last.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Escape from Ala Mhigo===&lt;br /&gt;
Vailyx was eight years old when the Empire lay waste to Ala Mhigo in their campaign to take over Eorzea. F'une attempted to sneak C'aseen and his family onto a refugee caravan, fleeing the city amongst the chaos. This act cost F'une his life, but ensured his comrade's safety. V'ira's family lost or missing, C'aseen thought it would be best to take his family far from Ala Mhigo and start over, eventually booking them a passage to Limsa Lominsa, the entire journey from Ala Mhigo to Limsa taking two years. It would be there that V'ira bore another child, a small blue-haired boy with amber eyes named Caen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Caen, The Amber Dawn===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen's childhood in Limsa Lominsa was a rather happy one. C'aseen sought to join the ranks of the Maelstrom, the Grand Company of Limsa, and Vailyx sought to become a warrior like his father. This left Caen alone most of the time, when he was able to wander off without V'ira. Caen was the representation of a new and happy life for the four, and a hope for the future. As Caen grew older, he adopted a mixture of his family traits. While his mischief wasn't as grand as Vailyx's schemes back in Ala Mhigo, they often led to street brawls with the local bullies who beat Caen, as he was a miqo'te with the hyuran name. During the brawls, many of the &amp;quot;bullies&amp;quot; came to like the boy, as the miqo'te never fought as if he was fighting for his life and instead fighting for the fun of it. It became clear that it was difficult to become enemies with the boy, and most of his hyran adversaries turned into good friends or friendly rivals. When he wasn't tussling in the lower decks, Caen would climb to the higher towers of Limsa, looking out at the sea to watch his father fish, and see ships come in to port. He came to know almost everyone, as he was quite nosey, and always was willing to lend a helping hand to a downtrodden stranger. V'ira would teach the young kitten to sing, to aid him in his quest to make all strangers happy, but not without warning the boy of the dangers of the world.&lt;br /&gt;
By the time Caen grew to his ninth year, he was already a thorn in his older brother's side. Constantly trying to show Vailyx up was a favorite pastime of his, while Vailyx had grown cold by comparison, still mourning the deaths of his two best friends Tiergan and Lurial. He was well on his way to becoming worthy enough to study in the ways of a Dragoon, which Caen would lovingly attempt to mimic. By Caen's tenth year, Vailyx has sought to forgive himself for not being able to save Tiergan and Lurial, seeing much of his younger self in Caen, who would bring light and joy to his terrible sorrow and cast it aside. For the first time, Caen was able to break through his older brother's cold exterior, and the brothers would bond happily for the next year. Another year passed... and with it, the Grand Companies of Eorzea prepared to meet Nael Van Darnus's VIIth Legion on the fields of Carteneau.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Cruelty of Fate===&lt;br /&gt;
C'aseen and Vailyx had made up their minds to fight alongside the Maelstrom forces at Carteneau. Yet, as Dalamud had lowered closer to Eorzea, Vailyx feared that the battle would not be won, and urged V'ira to take Caen on a ship and flee the continent. Caen took this terribly, and took up his practice lance, trying to fight Vailyx to let him go with them. Vailyx, out of options, slashed the practice lance in half and cut his brother across the cheek in an attempt to make his brother hate him, so that he wouldn't want to join them at Carteneau. Caen, now sporting a nasty cross-shaped wound, flung himself at his brother, understanding his fears and embracing him one last time. Vailyx would hand his mother letters to Caen, and, embracing them one last time, rushed off to join C'aseen at the battle. Caen and V'ira were able to get passage to a ship heading for another continent with other refugees, yet as Dalamud drew ever closer, the captain of their ship, Kruz Rosgaldornyn, revealed his ugly plot to turn the ship towards Ul'dah, and sell everyone aboard as slaves into the Ul'dahn underground black market. Kruz would attempt to seize V'ira and have his way with the miqo'te woman before they arrived, but Caen begged and pleaded him to release her, offering his own life in exchange. A twisted being, Kruz agreed, and took the young lad to his quarters, where he tortured the boy for making him look weak in front of his crew. As the beating grew worse, Caen could not take it anymore and bit the man's ear off. Enraged, Kruz tied the boy down and prepared to cut Caen's tail off. Before the blow was struck, V'ira burst down the door, stunning Kruz with a glass bottle to the face and released Caen. As they rushed to a lifeboat, the waves grew restless and aggressive, and the skies turned violent. Flares rained down from the sky, flinging themselves into the deep ocean. Amidst the chaos, V'ira removed her violet earrings and wrapped them around Vailyx's letters, tucking them into Caen's jacket. She embraced her son for the last time, and the ship was hit by one of Bahamut's flares. Caen was thrust into the air along with debris from the ship, the bodies of refugees, and V'ira. He reached for her, in an attempt to fly towards her again, and screamed her name, just as she was engulfed by flames. Caen hit the water with a terrible force... and fell into the abyss of his mind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Awakening to Null===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen awoke to a warm bed, in the small home of Faust Jabari, a fisherman in Vesper Bay. He had been asleep for nearly a week. When Faust asked the boy his name, the boy could not recall. In fact he knew not who he was, nor where he was... nor why Faust had no tail when the lad had one. Faust attempted to look through the letters Caen had washed ashore with, yet they were almost too water-logged to read. All he could make out is they were addressed to &amp;quot;Caen&amp;quot;... from someone named Vailyx. Taking a shot in the dark, Faust would return Caen's name to him, and gift the lost miqo'te with that of his own surname, &amp;quot;Jabari&amp;quot; until his memories returned. Caen was timid and shy around the other kids in Vesper, while many of them were around their eleventh year, as he was, he felt terrified to be around people. His days were spent trying to piece together who he was, and his nightmares were plagued by a vision of his chasing a red-haired knight with a lance into a blinding horizon, yet he could never catch them. It wasn't until Faust took Caen along with him to trade his wares at Ul'dah, did remnants of himself return.&lt;br /&gt;
Faust briefly left Caen with Momodi of ''The Quicksand'' while he went to trade his wares at market. It was then that Caen witnessed the sorrow of a beautiful lady named Sarisa Clementine. A band of adventurers, her comrades tried anything they could to get her to find hope that her lover had survived the Battle Of Carteneau, but she would turn them away. Caen was overcome with a need to make her smile, and approached her, initiating conversation. Sarisa was so shocked that a mysterious boy would just walk up and chat with her, that she obliged. The two would meet at ''The Quicksand'' and talk often, about Caen's missing memories, and of Sarisa and her love for her fiancee, Lieru. And one day, Caen sang to her... a ballad conjured from the depths of his mind... and for the first time in a long time, she smiled. It was then that Caen decided, it was smiles like hers he wanted to one day protect. And he would be the light in the darkness for those who had lost their own. He dreamt of a world without sorrow, without war or bloodshed, and became determined to become strong enough to herald the arrival of such a world.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:RainyCaen.jpg|left|RainyCaen.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
===Five Years Later... (2.0)===&lt;br /&gt;
After convincing Faust to journey to Mor Dhona and find his wife Maria, Caen had sang in the streets of Ul'dah for gil, while also finding an opportunity to become a messenger bearing secret letters for groups that would not like to see them taken from moogles. It was Naih'ir Molkot and Momodi of ''The Quicksand'' that would offer Caen a real job, washing dishes and serving the patrons of the inn. During this time, Caen would also find habit of &amp;quot;perching&amp;quot; atop the rails of the room, conversing with strangers and getting them to detail their adventures outside the desert, having no memory of the world beyond. Caen still yearns for a place to call home once again, and prays that the Twelve might offer a hint as to why his memory was taken from him. Still, he wields a confident smirk and a bright yellow attire, in a hope to be a light for everyone and make them smile...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Brave New Realm (2.1)===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen could say his life changed when he met a group of adventurers in the Quicksand. The first man was a Dragoon named Artorias Mason. At first the Huyr was a marvel to behold, capable of endless feats and even more knowledge. He had had everything... and lost it all to the Empire. He was an inspiration... yet darkness existed in the mans heart having lost all he held dear. He denied the Gods existence and placed Caen's undying faith to the Twelve among the ranks of the pathetic; an event that shook the boy to his core and giving him doubt for the first time.  During a trip out to Crescent Cove, Caen and Artorias run in with Garrett Slater, a free-paladin in training. Caen shows them both a crashed Garlean vessel, rusted and long-dead, when they are attacked by a giant yarzon. After defeating the vilekin, Garrett and Artorias meet in private when Caen is suddenly caught in a Garlean ambush. In a narrow victory, the group is able to flee towards Ul'dah to return Caen to the Quicksand. The following day, Caen was approached by a woman named Kelvena, who searches for her father Ikus and his mercenary company Lost Rogues. When she finds out that Caen has never been outside Ul'dah, she, Artorias, and Garrett decide to take the boy to Limsa Lominsa. There, it is revealed that Artorias plans to kill himself after fighting the primals and defeating Gaius von Baelsar. Although Caen pleads with him, Artorias' mind is made up and he eventually leaves. It is then that Kelvena and Garrett take Caen to Gridania... where Caen visits the Lancer's Guild and finds the Last Letter of the Swifttail. These last written words of his older brother, Vailyx ensure that Caen really is Caen, and that he should continue to live his own life as his father and mother had wanted. Still wishing he could remember his family, Caen tries to find solace among his new friends. Artorias senses the boy's strife and bids Kelvena look after Caen like an older sister.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Shards of the Forsaken (2.2)===&lt;br /&gt;
One night, Caen began hearing voices in his head, including images and emotions felt by people he didn't know. This led him to run off into the Gold Court unable to control his own pain. Garrett, Kelvena, and Artorias would try to help Caen... only to be approached by two enigmatic miqo'te. Tiergan Vashir and An'nai came to find Caen, but after Artorias threatened Tiergan, the miqo'te let slip that Caen may, in fact have a shard within him, allowing him to tap into latent power and talk with others over long distances. It was only after Caen got his control over his emotions that Brynhilde Wulf appeared before the lad. After inspecting the boy, she made it clear to everyone that he was not one of the shard bearers... but in his mind, Caen could hear her saying something different. He was a shard-bearer... and a rune slowly affixed itself above Caen's heart.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Seekers (2.3)===&lt;br /&gt;
It was the day when Caen was waiting to be deployed with a handful of other new Flame cadets to the Sagolii desert. The information broker, Lurial Vashir found Caen first and told him the truth. His family was still alive, and his older cousins had survived the moonfall five years ago. Shocked, the miqo'te boy grew quickly attached to both Lurial and Tiergan.&lt;br /&gt;
Caen's Flame deployment also ended quickly, as sand worms attacked the site of the training grounds. With the telepathic assistance from afar through the link, Caen was able to drag the soldier caravan and a few survivors back to Ul'dah. Caen was granted a scout position, which was limited to parcel and supply delivery, if only for the boy's speed and diligence.&lt;br /&gt;
The dark hood of the Entudenin reared its head and began to attack shard-bearers, Caen included. At one point, Caen was pushed off of the high walls of Coerthas by a dark agent of the Entudenin. The boy was paralyzed from the waist down and after three days, was found by Tiergan, who had to fight past two agents to rescue his cousin. Caen was taken to the Shroud for extensive healing and afterwards, found himself hiding from the shard-bearer headquarters, afraid of being attacked by another of the dark hoods.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Taken (2.55)===&lt;br /&gt;
As the moon cycled around the world over and over, Caen took up his old errand-tail ways by delivering letters for different people in Ul'dah, and occasionally the other nations of Eorzea. However, due to the sensitive information he unwittingly carried, he was made a target by the Syndicate agents after he was seen handing over letters addressed to the Sultana. On the night where the Eorzean Alliance were greeting the ambassadors from Ishgard, fighting began to break out in the city. Caen was chased by a few of the brass blades through the Gold Court, and nearly made it to the Royal Promenade, where he was knocked out by an ambush. Caen was imprisoned, and then sold into a slave ring with the rest of the prisoners that sat in the Ul'dahn cells. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== These Eyes of Mine (3.1)===&lt;br /&gt;
It was soon discovered that Caen had been sold to an illegal gladiator ring where slaves were matched against each other for fictional lands and titles in a game played by the nobility of Ul'dah. The boy was forced to surrender his self-made vows to never take a life, as some fights in the ring were kill or be killed. His only possessions were a wicked pair of twin daggers that he was taught to use by another fellow slave named Yae. After numerous attempts to escape and push letters from windows, Lurial Vashir and a number of brave souls, including her brother Tiergan, were able to locate Caen and organized an assault on the ringleader's mansion. Only known as her moniker, &amp;quot;The Woman&amp;quot;, Caen's master threw all of her slaves and guards at the band of rescuers and even drugged Caen and set him upon his former friends. Caen was rendered unconscious during the fight and taken to the Forgotten Springs for healing and rest. After waking up, Caen felt terrified to meet his cousins and friends again. He perceived his soul and eyes to be stained with the lives he was forced to take during his time as a gladiator. For the time being, he subtly struggles to continue wearing the mask of unbridled happiness just as he did before. The lad now carries a pain in his heart and wonders if he even deserves to live after betraying his promise to never stain his hands with blood. In spite of his inner turmoil, he made preparations to become an adventurer himself and sought employment in Ishgard, recently united with the Eorzean Alliance. Employed as a supply runner for Betelgeuse Bordeaux's Button Shoppe, Caen finds himself working early mornings; running across the realm to spread elaborate buttons to the rest of Eorzea's markets and weaver guilds. The lad spends alot of time in the Quicksand, stashing away his earned gil to fund an expedition to the mysteries of the northern lands where the lost boy hopes to find himself again.&lt;br /&gt;

==Character Connections==&lt;br /&gt;
There are an abundance of souls who may have crossed paths with Caen as they live in Eorzea~&lt;br /&gt;
::* Anyone who has lived in Ul'Dah for the last 2-3 years would've seen him working at ''The Quicksand.''&lt;br /&gt;
::* He's also a well-known messenger, running parcels across Thanalan for the past 3 years. It's possible you enlisted his services.&lt;br /&gt;

::* Caen will often be played with techno/dance/hip hop music in the background and his soundtrack depicts songs of this genre.

&lt;div&gt;''&amp;quot;Believe in me, for my resolve does not waver, nor can it be fractured.&amp;quot; ~Vailyx the Swifttail''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Caen Jabari''' is a young miqo'te who was found washed ashore in Vesper Bay on the day of the Great Calamity. Caen remembered nothing of his first eleven years, and woke up to a world he did not remember living in. All he had on him, besides the tattered rags that covered his body, were water-logged letters addressed to &amp;quot;Caen&amp;quot; from an older brother &amp;quot;Vailyx&amp;quot; and held together by a pair of violet earrings. Thankfully, the kinder fisherman, Faust Jabari was able to find the young miqo'te and semi-raised the boy to be able to live on his own. After five years, not only has Eorzea changed, but so has the young seeker of the sun.&lt;br /&gt;

===Appearance===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;You may be Ul'dah's desert canary, but you bear the heart of the phoenix, Caen.  You can always reignite and fly again.&amp;quot;'' ~Tiergan Vashir&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caen sports a wide-eyed, youthful face with bronzed skin due to living under the desert sun for years. Although he's lived in Ul'dah in the summers he remembers, Caen sports a slight Lominsan accent due to being raised in the city beside the Rhotano. His eyes are a bright amber and his large canines tend to show when he grins with his teeth. The lad also sports a shaggy mane of royal blue hair that would attempt to curl inwards over his face, yet it is mostly kept covered by a light head-wrapping. On his left cheek, he bears a X-shaped scar. Caen is best well known by his choice of attire; his bright yellow-coloured garb, to show off his love for the sunlight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Personality &amp;amp; Mannerisms===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:CaenJabari.jpg|left|CaenJabari.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
Caen is wild and carefree making him a perfect candidate for odd jobs through-out Thanalan and Ul'dah herself. A friend to everyone, the boy is cheerful and will rarely hesitate to chat up a stranger. His favorite pastime is residing within ''The Quicksand'' to watch the comings and goings of adventurers, occasionally prodding them for tales of their adventures outside the desert. This, often than not, leads the lad into troublesome situations. Caen can often be immature and ignorant for his age - a side effect of being to close to one of Bahamut's flares when the moon fell to earth and broke apart. Growing up on the streets of Ul'dah without parents did not make Caen privy to the know-how of the world beyond the sands, and obtains most of his knowledge from overhearing patrons of the Quicksand and absorbing information from anyone who would offer it. His reading and writing abilities are sub-par at best and many of his morals and values are born from story books and tales of knights and honour- and anything his mother told him as a boy.&lt;br /&gt;
He tends to talk fast when excited, leading to a wide arrange of slang. Yet when he does interact in serious conversation, he can pull larger words from his vocabulary (if he remembers them). Caen is far from being a noble and the comparison between his social status and such is rather laughable. It is worth noting that the miqo'te lad also has a tendency to stutter when he tells a lie or is frightened. His friends will notice Caen mimicking actions in effort to understand and grow. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caen has incredible balance, something Hamon noticed just before taking the boy under his tutelage. The young miqo'te demonstrates his balance fairly often by &amp;quot;perching&amp;quot; atop railings and high walls, observing everyone below him. His favorite spot is inside and outside the ''Quicksand'', where he can see new adventurers and traders visit the city. The lad is also a believer in good and bad karma, as well as good luck and bad luck. He'll often speak of what leads to one or the other, waking him from slumber would be bad luck since such can be obtained by waking a sleeping cat. Yet good luck could be obtained by things like giving coin to a soul in need or helping heal a wounded stranger. Many things are common sayings from sailors... yet he will usually make up his own fonts of good and bad luck without noticing. Caen's worship of the Twelve is difficult to notice. While he believes that the Twelve exist, the boy also believes that they are absent in this new era, asleep or otherwise, and are watching down upon everyone without the ability to offer aid to the realm. Caen finds that merely living his life in with good intentions and being a light to Eorzea is all the Gods currently want out of him and it is his hope that they smile when they see him simply living. He may recount of having lunch with Azeyma, the Warden, on many occasions.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen likes grouping examples in threes. For example, where one might say, &amp;quot;You can say that again.&amp;quot; Caen would say &amp;quot;Y'can say that thrice.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
::* He also ends things he says with an added &amp;quot;Eh?&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;Y'know.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* He often packs a picnic and eats it beside the stone of The Warden in eastern Thanalan. After experiencing a dream where Azeyma appeared before Caen and remarked on how handsome he was, the miqo'te makes an attempt to visit the stone a few times a week for lunch or mid-afternoon tarts. Whether his dream was divine intervention or having too much sugar before bed, who can say.&lt;br /&gt;
::* His pronunciation of certain words will remain constant. Like &amp;quot;Yes&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Alright&amp;quot; become &amp;quot;Yus&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Awright&amp;quot;, respectively.&lt;br /&gt;
::* That being said, Caen's father, C'aseen the Poet, shines through the lad, and when focused and serious, he can speak next to proper, including inventive analogies and metaphors.&lt;br /&gt;

===Fighting Style===&lt;br /&gt;
::*Caen is naturally gifted with hand-to-hand combat, but is clumsy as a toddler when it comes to a sword. During his childhood in Limsa Lominsa, he was often made fun of for his Hyuran name, which led to many street brawls with the local bullies. He taught himself how to punch, kick, and dodge out of attacks when overwhelmed, becoming effective at fighting many targets at once.&lt;br /&gt;
::*When his brother Vailyx began to take up the art of the Lance, Caen naturally went out and carved his own pole-arm out of a fallen tree branch to teach himself to do that as well, desiring skills better than his perfect brother. Vailyx was never to busy to show Caen up and belittle the boy on his flawed techniques, yet managed to teach him proper form over the course of three years. By berating his younger brother on what not to do, he effectively taught him how to use the lance as an extension of his arm. And although Caen was never old enough to leave Limsa and study the lance abroad, Vailyx was secretly proud of Caen.&lt;br /&gt;
::*Caen continued to pave his way through the Thanalan with his fists after he had awoken from losing his memory. After saving his foster-father, Faust, from a yarzon swarm a month after awakening, he took Caen  to the Pugilist's Guild within Ul'dah, where the boy would hone his skills. While mostly his training pertained of running errands for the Holyfist, Hamon, Caen did occasionally teach himself a less-clumsy fighting style after watching the students spar.&lt;br /&gt;
::*Caen often speaks of how beautiful and interesting he believes swords to be, but he cannot properly wield one on his own. When he does, he finds the blade &amp;quot;rejecting&amp;quot; him. Still he finds them incredibly intriguing.&lt;br /&gt;
::*Recently, the yellow-clad miqo'te has shown an impressive form using twin daggers. His agility from his training under Hamon and acrobatic nature have benefitted him greatly in close-quarters combat.&lt;br /&gt;

===Aliases/Nicknames===&lt;br /&gt;
::* '''Canary''': After many attempts to get the lonely adventurer Sarisa Clementine to smile, Caen finally succeeded after singing a ballad to her one morning. She smiled for the first time in two years, since Carteneau, and called him her Canary. It has become a rare nickname for Caen, as few know of it, yet he will cherish it forever. It was also a name called to him by his mother, V'ira, when she taught him to sing as a child.&lt;br /&gt;
::* '''Chocobo''': Called this by his close friends, Caen is often compared to the yellow flightless bird of Eorzea, due to his bright yellow choice of clothing.&lt;br /&gt;
::* '''Blue Wolf''': Only the residents of Vesper Bay would call Caen by such. Once when he was skinny-dipping in the Bay, a group of bullies thought it would be funny to steal his clothes. Stark-naked, Caen stealthily tried to make it back to Faust's house to no avail, as the streets were rather crowded. He soon came across a pail of blue paint, and, seeing it as his only option, dumped it all over himself. He would then dart through the streets, on all fours, to Faust's home, terrifying the citizenry who lay sight to the &amp;quot;Blue Wolf Monster&amp;quot;. After Faust explained the truth to everyone to avoid panic, it became a running gag within the small town's residents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

===Family===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Father: C'aseen the Poet, ''deceased''&lt;br /&gt;
::* Mother: V'ira Tarja, ''deceased''&lt;br /&gt;
::* Older Brother: Vailyx the Swifttail, ''missing in action''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Foster Father: Faust Jabari, A hyuran fisherman and resident of Vesper Bay. He was fishing off the coast of Crescent Cove when he noticed a small boy clinging to a large piece of driftwood in the sea. He became Caen's foster father, and attempted to teach Caen the ways of the world the boy had forgotten about.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Cousin: '''[[Tiergan Vashir]]''', One of Caen's only living blood-relatives. Since he learned that Caen is his long-lost cousin, Teigan is fiercely protective of the lad, trying to be the brother Vailyx would have been to Caen. Caen loves his cousin dearly, and often tries to act out to make the older miqo'te proud of him. Caen, unbeknownst to Tiergan, would often stalk his cousin in order to study him and adopt his mannerisms. Still, much of Tiergan's past is a mystery to Caen, as the boy is unsure whether it is inappropriate to ask. Even still, friends often mistake Tiergan and Caen for brothers, and the two would go along with it, as Caen feels that Tiergan is a great older brother, in Vailyx's absence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Cousin: '''[[Lurial Vashir]]''', One of Caen's only living blood-relatives. Luri was able to track down the youngest son of her aunt V'ira to the streets of Ul'dah. When she connected the dots, she came to Caen and revealed the truth to him. While Caen hides inner worry of being apart of a family again, he cannot help but feel at home again, in a place where he belongs. Until her recent disappearance, Caen had stayed in her home in the city of Ul'dah... now Caen searches for his cousin hoping to reunite them again as she once did for him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Bodyguard: '''[[Furious Storm]]''', The bodyguard of Lurial Vashir, Caen and &amp;quot;Fury&amp;quot; instantly became best friends when Caen decided to break the shyness between them by bringing the roegadyn a warm apple tart after his first night at Lurial's home. Now the two are basically inseparable, and Caen never forgets to bring the large mute treats from around Thanalan. While he did vanish around the same time as Lurial, he still sends him treats and candy via moogle post, as they can apparently track the roegadyn better than Caen could.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Friends===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caen has had the fortune of meeting all kinds of souls by hanging near ''The Quicksand'' after leaving Vesper Bay when Faust journeyed to Mor Dhona to find his wife, Maria. Some have touched his lives more than others and even after quitting his job serving patrons for Momodi, he still eats most of his meals there and hangs around for a good while after. Being the jewel of the sand, Ul'dah is frequented by many and Caen makes a good attempt to meet them all, offering strangers a friendly flap of his ears and a story exchange to boot.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
((friend's list coming soon T-T))&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Chocobos===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen has always had a great affinity for befriending chocobos. He often wished to become a chocobo porter or breeder when he was younger. Some will find he actually talks to them. In moments of stress, the lad will often wander near chocobos and pet/talk to them. Since the birds seem to enjoy his company, many nearby porters or breeders don't mind his presence. It's not entirely sure if Caen wears yellow to display his love for chocobos or for the sun, since he favors both. Yet when asked, he will mention that he might favor chocobos more because you can't hug the sun. He dreams of having a chocobo of his own someday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Enemies===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caen doesn't have any real enemies that he knows of. He has lived an honest life and cannot hold a grudge to save it. Even when disrespected or belittled by an individual, he is quick to forgive all after sleeping it off, and greets them the next day, cheerful as ever.&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:PeekingCaen.jpg|center|PeekingCaen.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
===Common Rumors===&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;That there is the boy who works at Momodi's place, wiv ol' Naih'ir... the one who's always on them rails. I dunno how'ee does it, but his smile sure brightens up a room!&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;What sort of fool wears such bright yellow? If I wore such on the frontlines, archers would have me dead in seconds. If you ask me, he's just asking for death.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;Such a cutie... but what sort of name is Caen for a miqo'te? Doesn't he respect his own kind?&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moderate Rumors===&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;Shhh, don't stare... that's the boy who was kidnapped. The one by that ruffian Cade... the poor dear must've been so frightened.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot; Hah! Y'know Momodi won't let him drink? Says he's too young fer such things... but I saw him get a good boxin' 'round the ears last time he was sniffin' 'round it! Haw Haw Haw!&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;That little shite ate all my fish! Orphans... hate their scum!&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Rare Rumors===&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot; I heard him sing once, yes. It was so beautiful... but so sad. You could almost feel as if there was some pain in his heart... his very soul.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot; Didn't y'know? 'ee can't remember a lick o' who he was b'fore the moon fell them years ago. Poor bloke. Must be lonely, havin' no-one to hold yeh.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;Calls himself the 'errand-tail' of the Sultana... he's the one Raubahn trusts with those letters. Sometimes I wonder what's in them, but it seems he doesn't know himself. Best not to dwell on such things.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;They were carrying the little lad in from the Shroud. You should have heard his breathing; I was so afraid for him. A monster? No... they say it was one of those Warriors. Are even our children unsafe?&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===PC Rumors===&lt;br /&gt;

::* ''&amp;quot;Caen?  That's my younger cousin - honest, brave, and constantly getting into trouble.  He's always working to try and become a 'hero' like the rest of us, but he doesn't seem to realise he's already a strong, courageous spirit.  His elder brother Vailyx would be proud of him...&amp;quot;'' -- [[Tiergan Vashir]]&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;If there should be one person in the entirety of Hydaelyn that I wholeheartedly trust, 'tis Caen.

==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;font-size:40px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;The Story&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:CaenByEdge.jpg|right|CaenByEdge.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
===The Legacy of C'aseen the Poet===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen's father, known as C'aseen the Poet by his brothers in arms, was a monk in the ranks of the Fists of Rhalgr. At a young age, he abandoned his tribe along with his best friend F'une to study the ways of balance and the fist, and later came to unlock his hidden chakra. Although he claimed to be a pacifist, C'aseen yearned for unmatched power so that he could defend his way of life unopposed, whereas F'une was more aggressive, and fully embraced the way of The Destroyer. C'aseen would make a habit of sharing his small wealth with the less fortunate of Ala Mhigo, and aiding in small jobs among the lower class, behind F'une's back. He would thatch holes in roofs, gather game, and pull caravans himself. He was also known by his spouts of poetry that he would preach about the world and life. It was then, he met a woman named V'ira Tarja and fell madly in love with her. Traditions of his kind be damned, he would spend nights singing ballads to her... not knowing she was fighting feelings for him. Eventually they would come together and sire a white-haired boy who V'ira named Vailyx.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Vailyx, the Swifttail of Ala Mhigo===&lt;br /&gt;
Vailyx grew into a wild-cat like his mother, yet bore the confidence of his father. Fond of all manner of mischief, he grew up alongside his best friend and cousin Tiergan Vashir. Along with Tiergan's sister Lurial, the trio would cast bouts of chaos among the lower levels of Ala Mhigo. Dodoes would suddenly find their pens opened and run through the streets, food from merchant stalls would go missing, and there was even one incident when the three road atop a chocobo taken back from a corrupt tax collector for their neighbor, who was struggling to make ends meet. Vailyx was always there to save his friends from peril, coming out with a bloody nose and a few other bruises; his trade-mark fanged smirk not wavering. He named himself the ''Swifttail'' of Ala Mhigo, claiming it was a title bestowed by the Twelve for his cunning and speed, but in truth, he merely thought it sounded cool and intimidating. At one point, he even dyed his long, white hair into a bright red colour, so that he would look like a fiery comet as he rushed through the streets and rooftops. Their childhood was happy... but it was not to last.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Escape from Ala Mhigo===&lt;br /&gt;
Vailyx was eight years old when the Empire lay waste to Ala Mhigo in their campaign to take over Eorzea. F'une attempted to sneak C'aseen and his family onto a refugee caravan, fleeing the city amongst the chaos. This act cost F'une his life, but ensured his comrade's safety. V'ira's family lost or missing, C'aseen thought it would be best to take his family far from Ala Mhigo and start over, eventually booking them a passage to Limsa Lominsa, the entire journey from Ala Mhigo to Limsa taking two years. It would be there that V'ira bore another child, a small blue-haired boy with amber eyes named Caen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Caen, The Amber Dawn===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen's childhood in Limsa Lominsa was a rather happy one. C'aseen sought to join the ranks of the Maelstrom, the Grand Company of Limsa, and Vailyx sought to become a warrior like his father. This left Caen alone most of the time, when he was able to wander off without V'ira. Caen was the representation of a new and happy life for the four, and a hope for the future. As Caen grew older, he adopted a mixture of his family traits. While his mischief wasn't as grand as Vailyx's schemes back in Ala Mhigo, they often led to street brawls with the local bullies who beat Caen, as he was a miqo'te with the hyuran name. During the brawls, many of the &amp;quot;bullies&amp;quot; came to like the boy, as the miqo'te never fought as if he was fighting for his life and instead fighting for the fun of it. It became clear that it was difficult to become enemies with the boy, and most of his hyran adversaries turned into good friends or friendly rivals. When he wasn't tussling in the lower decks, Caen would climb to the higher towers of Limsa, looking out at the sea to watch his father fish, and see ships come in to port. He came to know almost everyone, as he was quite nosey, and always was willing to lend a helping hand to a downtrodden stranger. V'ira would teach the young kitten to sing, to aid him in his quest to make all strangers happy, but not without warning the boy of the dangers of the world.&lt;br /&gt;
By the time Caen grew to his ninth year, he was already a thorn in his older brother's side. Constantly trying to show Vailyx up was a favorite pastime of his, while Vailyx had grown cold by comparison, still mourning the deaths of his two best friends Tiergan and Lurial. He was well on his way to becoming worthy enough to study in the ways of a Dragoon, which Caen would lovingly attempt to mimic. By Caen's tenth year, Vailyx has sought to forgive himself for not being able to save Tiergan and Lurial, seeing much of his younger self in Caen, who would bring light and joy to his terrible sorrow and cast it aside. For the first time, Caen was able to break through his older brother's cold exterior, and the brothers would bond happily for the next year. Another year passed... and with it, the Grand Companies of Eorzea prepared to meet Nael Van Darnus's VIIth Legion on the fields of Carteneau.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Cruelty of Fate===&lt;br /&gt;
C'aseen and Vailyx had made up their minds to fight alongside the Maelstrom forces at Carteneau. Yet, as Dalamud had lowered closer to Eorzea, Vailyx feared that the battle would not be won, and urged V'ira to take Caen on a ship and flee the continent. Caen took this terribly, and took up his practice lance, trying to fight Vailyx to let him go with them. Vailyx, out of options, slashed the practice lance in half and cut his brother across the cheek in an attempt to make his brother hate him, so that he wouldn't want to join them at Carteneau. Caen, now sporting a nasty cross-shaped wound, flung himself at his brother, understanding his fears and embracing him one last time. Vailyx would hand his mother letters to Caen, and, embracing them one last time, rushed off to join C'aseen at the battle. Caen and V'ira were able to get passage to a ship heading for another continent with other refugees, yet as Dalamud drew ever closer, the captain of their ship, Kruz Rosgaldornyn, revealed his ugly plot to turn the ship towards Ul'dah, and sell everyone aboard as slaves into the Ul'dahn underground black market. Kruz would attempt to seize V'ira and have his way with the miqo'te woman before they arrived, but Caen begged and pleaded him to release her, offering his own life in exchange. A twisted being, Kruz agreed, and took the young lad to his quarters, where he tortured the boy for making him look weak in front of his crew. As the beating grew worse, Caen could not take it anymore and bit the man's ear off. Enraged, Kruz tied the boy down and prepared to cut Caen's tail off. Before the blow was struck, V'ira burst down the door, stunning Kruz with a glass bottle to the face and released Caen. As they rushed to a lifeboat, the waves grew restless and aggressive, and the skies turned violent. Flares rained down from the sky, flinging themselves into the deep ocean. Amidst the chaos, V'ira removed her violet earrings and wrapped them around Vailyx's letters, tucking them into Caen's jacket. She embraced her son for the last time, and the ship was hit by one of Bahamut's flares. Caen was thrust into the air along with debris from the ship, the bodies of refugees, and V'ira. He reached for her, in an attempt to fly towards her again, and screamed her name, just as she was engulfed by flames. Caen hit the water with a terrible force... and fell into the abyss of his mind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Awakening to Null===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen awoke to a warm bed, in the small home of Faust Jabari, a fisherman in Vesper Bay. He had been asleep for nearly a week. When Faust asked the boy his name, the boy could not recall. In fact he knew not who he was, nor where he was... nor why Faust had no tail when the lad had one. Faust attempted to look through the letters Caen had washed ashore with, yet they were almost too water-logged to read. All he could make out is they were addressed to &amp;quot;Caen&amp;quot;... from someone named Vailyx. Taking a shot in the dark, Faust would return Caen's name to him, and gift the lost miqo'te with that of his own surname, &amp;quot;Jabari&amp;quot; until his memories returned. Caen was timid and shy around the other kids in Vesper, while many of them were around their eleventh year, as he was, he felt terrified to be around people. His days were spent trying to piece together who he was, and his nightmares were plagued by a vision of his chasing a red-haired knight with a lance into a blinding horizon, yet he could never catch them. It wasn't until Faust took Caen along with him to trade his wares at Ul'dah, did remnants of himself return.&lt;br /&gt;
Faust briefly left Caen with Momodi of ''The Quicksand'' while he went to trade his wares at market. It was then that Caen witnessed the sorrow of a beautiful lady named Sarisa Clementine. A band of adventurers, her comrades tried anything they could to get her to find hope that her lover had survived the Battle Of Carteneau, but she would turn them away. Caen was overcome with a need to make her smile, and approached her, initiating conversation. Sarisa was so shocked that a mysterious boy would just walk up and chat with her, that she obliged. The two would meet at ''The Quicksand'' and talk often, about Caen's missing memories, and of Sarisa and her love for her fiancee, Lieru. And one day, Caen sang to her... a ballad conjured from the depths of his mind... and for the first time in a long time, she smiled. It was then that Caen decided, it was smiles like hers he wanted to one day protect. And he would be the light in the darkness for those who had lost their own. He dreamt of a world without sorrow, without war or bloodshed, and became determined to become strong enough to herald the arrival of such a world.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:RainyCaen.jpg|left|RainyCaen.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
===Five Years Later... (2.0)===&lt;br /&gt;
After convincing Faust to journey to Mor Dhona and find his wife Maria, Caen had sang in the streets of Ul'dah for gil, while also finding an opportunity to become a messenger bearing secret letters for groups that would not like to see them taken from moogles. It was Naih'ir Molkot and Momodi of ''The Quicksand'' that would offer Caen a real job, washing dishes and serving the patrons of the inn. During this time, Caen would also find habit of &amp;quot;perching&amp;quot; atop the rails of the room, conversing with strangers and getting them to detail their adventures outside the desert, having no memory of the world beyond. Caen still yearns for a place to call home once again, and prays that the Twelve might offer a hint as to why his memory was taken from him. Still, he wields a confident smirk and a bright yellow attire, in a hope to be a light for everyone and make them smile...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Brave New Realm (2.1)===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen could say his life changed when he met a group of adventurers in the Quicksand. The first man was a Dragoon named Artorias Mason. At first the Huyr was a marvel to behold, capable of endless feats and even more knowledge. He had had everything... and lost it all to the Empire. He was an inspiration... yet darkness existed in the mans heart having lost all he held dear. He denied the Gods existence and placed Caen's undying faith to the Twelve among the ranks of the pathetic; an event that shook the boy to his core and giving him doubt for the first time.  During a trip out to Crescent Cove, Caen and Artorias run in with Garrett Slater, a free-paladin in training. Caen shows them both a crashed Garlean vessel, rusted and long-dead, when they are attacked by a giant yarzon. After defeating the vilekin, Garrett and Artorias meet in private when Caen is suddenly caught in a Garlean ambush. In a narrow victory, the group is able to flee towards Ul'dah to return Caen to the Quicksand. The following day, Caen was approached by a woman named Kelvena, who searches for her father Ikus and his mercenary company Lost Rogues. When she finds out that Caen has never been outside Ul'dah, she, Artorias, and Garrett decide to take the boy to Limsa Lominsa. There, it is revealed that Artorias plans to kill himself after fighting the primals and defeating Gaius von Baelsar. Although Caen pleads with him, Artorias' mind is made up and he eventually leaves. It is then that Kelvena and Garrett take Caen to Gridania... where Caen visits the Lancer's Guild and finds the Last Letter of the Swifttail. These last written words of his older brother, Vailyx ensure that Caen really is Caen, and that he should continue to live his own life as his father and mother had wanted. Still wishing he could remember his family, Caen tries to find solace among his new friends. Artorias senses the boy's strife and bids Kelvena look after Caen like an older sister.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Shards of the Forsaken (2.2)===&lt;br /&gt;
One night, Caen began hearing voices in his head, including images and emotions felt by people he didn't know. This led him to run off into the Gold Court unable to control his own pain. Garrett, Kelvena, and Artorias would try to help Caen... only to be approached by two enigmatic miqo'te. Tiergan Vashir and An'nai came to find Caen, but after Artorias threatened Tiergan, the miqo'te let slip that Caen may, in fact have a shard within him, allowing him to tap into latent power and talk with others over long distances. It was only after Caen got his control over his emotions that Brynhilde Wulf appeared before the lad. After inspecting the boy, she made it clear to everyone that he was not one of the shard bearers... but in his mind, Caen could hear her saying something different. He was a shard-bearer... and a rune slowly affixed itself above Caen's heart.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Seekers (2.3)===&lt;br /&gt;
It was the day when Caen was waiting to be deployed with a handful of other new Flame cadets to the Sagolii desert. The information broker, Lurial Vashir found Caen first and told him the truth. His family was still alive, and his older cousins had survived the moonfall five years ago. Shocked, the miqo'te boy grew quickly attached to both Lurial and Tiergan.&lt;br /&gt;
Caen's Flame deployment also ended quickly, as sand worms attacked the site of the training grounds. With the telepathic assistance from afar through the link, Caen was able to drag the soldier caravan and a few survivors back to Ul'dah. Caen was granted a scout position, which was limited to parcel and supply delivery, if only for the boy's speed and diligence.&lt;br /&gt;
The dark hood of the Entudenin reared its head and began to attack shard-bearers, Caen included. At one point, Caen was pushed off of the high walls of Coerthas by a dark agent of the Entudenin. The boy was paralyzed from the waist down and after three days, was found by Tiergan, who had to fight past two agents to rescue his cousin. Caen was taken to the Shroud for extensive healing and afterwards, found himself hiding from the shard-bearer headquarters, afraid of being attacked by another of the dark hoods.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Taken (2.55)===&lt;br /&gt;
As the moon cycled around the world over and over, Caen took up his old errand-tail ways by delivering letters for different people in Ul'dah, and occasionally the other nations of Eorzea. However, due to the sensitive information he unwittingly carried, he was made a target by the Syndicate agents after he was seen handing over letters addressed to the Sultana. On the night where the Eorzean Alliance were greeting the ambassadors from Ishgard, fighting began to break out in the city. Caen was chased by a few of the brass blades through the Gold Court, and nearly made it to the Royal Promenade, where he was knocked out by an ambush. Caen was imprisoned, and then sold into a slave ring with the rest of the prisoners that sat in the Ul'dahn cells. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== These Eyes of Mine (3.1)===&lt;br /&gt;
It was soon discovered that Caen had been sold to an illegal gladiator ring where slaves were matched against each other for fictional lands and titles in a game played by the nobility of Ul'dah. The boy was forced to surrender his self-made vows to never take a life, as some fights in the ring were kill or be killed. His only possessions were a wicked pair of twin daggers that he was taught to use by another fellow slave named Yae. After numerous attempts to escape and push letters from windows, Lurial Vashir and a number of brave souls, including her brother Tiergan, were able to locate Caen and organized an assault on the ringleader's mansion. Only known as her moniker, &amp;quot;The Woman&amp;quot;, Caen's master threw all of her slaves and guards at the band of rescuers and even drugged Caen and set him upon his former friends. Caen was rendered unconscious during the fight and taken to the Forgotten Springs for healing and rest. After waking up, Caen felt terrified to meet his cousins and friends again. He perceived his soul and eyes to be stained with the lives he was forced to take during his time as a gladiator. For the time being, he subtly struggles to continue wearing the mask of unbridled happiness just as he did before. The lad now carries a pain in his heart and wonders if he even deserves to live after betraying his promise to never stain his hands with blood. In spite of his inner turmoil, he made preparations to become an adventurer himself and sought employment in Ishgard, recently united with the Eorzean Alliance. Employed as a supply runner for Betelgeuse Bordeaux's Button Shoppe, Caen finds himself working early mornings; running across the realm to spread elaborate buttons to the rest of Eorzea's markets and weaver guilds. The lad spends alot of time in the Quicksand, stashing away his earned gil to fund an expedition to the mysteries of the northern lands where the lost boy hopes to find himself again.&lt;br /&gt;

==Character Connections==&lt;br /&gt;
There are an abundance of souls who may have crossed paths with Caen as they live in Eorzea~&lt;br /&gt;
::* Anyone who has lived in Ul'Dah for the last 2-3 years would've seen him working at ''The Quicksand.''&lt;br /&gt;
::* He's also a well-known messenger, running parcels across Thanalan for the past 3 years. It's possible you enlisted his services.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Anyone who had resided in Vesper Bay or Crescent Cove in the last 5 years.&lt;br /&gt;
::* It's possible you have seen him honing his skill in the Pugilist's Guild in Ul'dah.&lt;br /&gt;
::* He may have bugged you about your adventures or asked you if you were alright if you wandered into ''The Quicksand'' looking broody.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Although rare, it is also possible you heard him singing in the streets of Ul'dah. His favorite spots were The Gold Court, near the Thaumaturge's Guild, and the Hustling Strip.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Trivia &amp;amp; Misc==&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen will sometimes make subtle references to Final Fantasy IX.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen's songs are Final Fantasy songs given lyrics by Katethegreat19 on Youtube. He will often recall that a mysterious bard taught him these songs. All other songs or ballads are original pieces.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen is unofficially voiced by Antony Del Rio.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen will often be played with techno/dance/hip hop music in the background and his soundtrack depicts songs of this genre. Examples include artists like Imagine Dragons, Eiffel 65, and the soundtrack from the Persona series of games, just to name a few. This is a reference to Vysce's favorite music as a child.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen's desire to &amp;quot;protect everyone's smiles&amp;quot; is a reference to the Kamen Rider series, particularly Kamen Rider OOO.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen's patron deity Azeyma is close to the word Asthma, which Caen's player was temporarily sick with while creating Caen.&lt;br /&gt;
::* All of Caen's family have lighter-colored hair, with him and his father having the only dark hair amongst their relatives. This is an allusion to Caen's player's (Vysce) actual family where the entire family is composed of people with blond hair, save for Vysce, who was born blond yet later grew dark mahogany.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Sarisa and Lieru are from a love-story, rped by Caen's player in ''Guild Wars 2''. Lieru is also the first character he ever created.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen's yellow eyes are a tip of the hat to his player's time rping in ''Star Wars: The Old Republic'' where he wielded a yellow lightsaber.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen will often sing &amp;quot;Fish! Fish! Fish!&amp;quot; when offered a cooked fish. This is a reference to the champion Fizz from ''League of Legends.''&lt;br /&gt;
::* The lad's theme is the &amp;quot;Netsky&amp;quot; remix of the song ''Finale'' by Madeon. When dueling him, a faster version of the song will play. His other themes include ''I'm Alive'' by Becca, and ''New Divide'' by Linkin Park.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen is always 100% IC, even when out leveling. SO if you see him, don't hesitate to say hello!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;''&amp;quot;Believe in me, for my resolve does not waver, nor can it be fractured.&amp;quot; ~Vailyx the Swifttail''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Caen Jabari''' is a young miqo'te who was found washed ashore in Vesper Bay on the day of the Great Calamity. Caen remembered nothing of his first eleven years, and woke up to a world he did not remember living in. All he had on him, besides the tattered rags that covered his body, were water-logged letters addressed to &amp;quot;Caen&amp;quot; from an older brother &amp;quot;Vailyx&amp;quot; and held together by a pair of violet earrings. Thankfully, the kinder fisherman, Faust Jabari was able to find the young miqo'te and semi-raised the boy to be able to live on his own. After five years, not only has Eorzea changed, but so has the young seeker of the sun.&lt;br /&gt;

===Appearance===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;You may be Ul'dah's desert canary, but you bear the heart of the phoenix, Caen.  You can always reignite and fly again.&amp;quot;'' ~Tiergan Vashir&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caen sports a wide-eyed, youthful face with bronzed skin due to living under the desert sun for years. Although he's lived in Ul'dah in the summers he remembers, Caen sports a slight Lominsan accent due to being raised in the city beside the Rhotano. His eyes are a bright amber and his large canines tend to show when he grins with his teeth. The lad also sports a shaggy mane of royal blue hair that would attempt to curl inwards over his face, yet it is mostly kept covered by a light head-wrapping. On his left cheek, he bears a X-shaped scar. Caen is best well known by his choice of attire; his bright yellow-coloured garb, to show off his love for the sunlight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Personality &amp;amp; Mannerisms===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:CaenJabari.jpg|left|CaenJabari.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
Caen is wild and carefree making him a perfect candidate for odd jobs through-out Thanalan and Ul'dah herself. A friend to everyone, the boy is cheerful and will rarely hesitate to chat up a stranger. His favorite pastime is residing within ''The Quicksand'' to watch the comings and goings of adventurers, occasionally prodding them for tales of their adventures outside the desert. This, often than not, leads the lad into troublesome situations. Caen can often be immature and ignorant for his age - a side effect of being to close to one of Bahamut's flares when the moon fell to earth and broke apart. Growing up on the streets of Ul'dah without parents did not make Caen privy to the know-how of the world beyond the sands, and obtains most of his knowledge from overhearing patrons of the Quicksand and absorbing information from anyone who would offer it. His reading and writing abilities are sub-par at best and many of his morals and values are born from story books and tales of knights and honour- and anything his mother told him as a boy.&lt;br /&gt;
He tends to talk fast when excited, leading to a wide arrange of slang. Yet when he does interact in serious conversation, he can pull larger words from his vocabulary (if he remembers them). Caen is far from being a noble and the comparison between his social status and such is rather laughable. It is worth noting that the miqo'te lad also has a tendency to stutter when he tells a lie or is frightened. His friends will notice Caen mimicking actions in effort to understand and grow. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caen has incredible balance, something Hamon noticed just before taking the boy under his tutelage. The young miqo'te demonstrates his balance fairly often by &amp;quot;perching&amp;quot; atop railings and high walls, observing everyone below him. His favorite spot is inside and outside the ''Quicksand'', where he can see new adventurers and traders visit the city. The lad is also a believer in good and bad karma, as well as good luck and bad luck. He'll often speak of what leads to one or the other, waking him from slumber would be bad luck since such can be obtained by waking a sleeping cat. Yet good luck could be obtained by things like giving coin to a soul in need or helping heal a wounded stranger. Many things are common sayings from sailors... yet he will usually make up his own fonts of good and bad luck without noticing. Caen's worship of the Twelve is difficult to notice. While he believes that the Twelve exist, the boy also believes that they are absent in this new era, asleep or otherwise, and are watching down upon everyone without the ability to offer aid to the realm. Caen finds that merely living his life in with good intentions and being a light to Eorzea is all the Gods currently want out of him and it is his hope that they smile when they see him simply living. He may recount of having lunch with Azeyma, the Warden, on many occasions.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen likes grouping examples in threes. For example, where one might say, &amp;quot;You can say that again.&amp;quot; Caen would say &amp;quot;Y'can say that thrice.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
::* He also ends things he says with an added &amp;quot;Eh?&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;Y'know.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* He often packs a picnic and eats it beside the stone of The Warden in eastern Thanalan. After experiencing a dream where Azeyma appeared before Caen and remarked on how handsome he was, the miqo'te makes an attempt to visit the stone a few times a week for lunch or mid-afternoon tarts. Whether his dream was divine intervention or having too much sugar before bed, who can say.&lt;br /&gt;
::* His pronunciation of certain words will remain constant. Like &amp;quot;Yes&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Alright&amp;quot; become &amp;quot;Yus&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Awright&amp;quot;, respectively.&lt;br /&gt;
::* That being said, Caen's father, C'aseen the Poet, shines through the lad, and when focused and serious, he can speak next to proper, including inventive analogies and metaphors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;font-size:40px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Martial Arts&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
===Fighting Style===&lt;br /&gt;
::*Caen is naturally gifted with hand-to-hand combat, but is clumsy as a toddler when it comes to a sword. During his childhood in Limsa Lominsa, he was often made fun of for his Hyuran name, which led to many street brawls with the local bullies. He taught himself how to punch, kick, and dodge out of attacks when overwhelmed, becoming effective at fighting many targets at once.&lt;br /&gt;
::*When his brother Vailyx began to take up the art of the Lance, Caen naturally went out and carved his own pole-arm out of a fallen tree branch to teach himself to do that as well, desiring skills better than his perfect brother. Vailyx was never to busy to show Caen up and belittle the boy on his flawed techniques, yet managed to teach him proper form over the course of three years. By berating his younger brother on what not to do, he effectively taught him how to use the lance as an extension of his arm. And although Caen was never old enough to leave Limsa and study the lance abroad, Vailyx was secretly proud of Caen.&lt;br /&gt;
::*Caen continued to pave his way through the Thanalan with his fists after he had awoken from losing his memory. After saving his foster-father, Faust, from a yarzon swarm a month after awakening, he took Caen  to the Pugilist's Guild within Ul'dah, where the boy would hone his skills. While mostly his training pertained of running errands for the Holyfist, Hamon, Caen did occasionally teach himself a less-clumsy fighting style after watching the students spar.&lt;br /&gt;
::*Caen often speaks of how beautiful and interesting he believes swords to be, but he cannot properly wield one on his own. When he does, he finds the blade &amp;quot;rejecting&amp;quot; him. Still he finds them incredibly intriguing.&lt;br /&gt;
::*Recently, the yellow-clad miqo'te has shown an impressive form using twin daggers. His agility from his training under Hamon and acrobatic nature have benefitted him greatly in close-quarters combat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;  font-size:30px;  color:#FFFFFF&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Tendencies &amp;amp; Quirks&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;

===Aliases/Nicknames===&lt;br /&gt;
::* '''Canary''': After many attempts to get the lonely adventurer Sarisa Clementine to smile, Caen finally succeeded after singing a ballad to her one morning. She smiled for the first time in two years, since Carteneau, and called him her Canary. It has become a rare nickname for Caen, as few know of it, yet he will cherish it forever. It was also a name called to him by his mother, V'ira, when she taught him to sing as a child.&lt;br /&gt;
::* '''Chocobo''': Called this by his close friends, Caen is often compared to the yellow flightless bird of Eorzea, due to his bright yellow choice of clothing.&lt;br /&gt;
::* '''Blue Wolf''': Only the residents of Vesper Bay would call Caen by such. Once when he was skinny-dipping in the Bay, a group of bullies thought it would be funny to steal his clothes. Stark-naked, Caen stealthily tried to make it back to Faust's house to no avail, as the streets were rather crowded. He soon came across a pail of blue paint, and, seeing it as his only option, dumped it all over himself. He would then dart through the streets, on all fours, to Faust's home, terrifying the citizenry who lay sight to the &amp;quot;Blue Wolf Monster&amp;quot;. After Faust explained the truth to everyone to avoid panic, it became a running gag within the small town's residents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;  font-size:30px;  color:#FFFFFF&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Relationships&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
===Family===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Father: C'aseen the Poet, ''deceased''&lt;br /&gt;
::* Mother: V'ira Tarja, ''deceased''&lt;br /&gt;
::* Older Brother: Vailyx the Swifttail, ''missing in action''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Foster Father: Faust Jabari, A hyuran fisherman and resident of Vesper Bay. He was fishing off the coast of Crescent Cove when he noticed a small boy clinging to a large piece of driftwood in the sea. He became Caen's foster father, and attempted to teach Caen the ways of the world the boy had forgotten about.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Cousin: '''[[Tiergan Vashir]]''', One of Caen's only living blood-relatives. Since he learned that Caen is his long-lost cousin, Teigan is fiercely protective of the lad, trying to be the brother Vailyx would have been to Caen. Caen loves his cousin dearly, and often tries to act out to make the older miqo'te proud of him. Caen, unbeknownst to Tiergan, would often stalk his cousin in order to study him and adopt his mannerisms. Still, much of Tiergan's past is a mystery to Caen, as the boy is unsure whether it is inappropriate to ask. Even still, friends often mistake Tiergan and Caen for brothers, and the two would go along with it, as Caen feels that Tiergan is a great older brother, in Vailyx's absence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Cousin: '''[[Lurial Vashir]]''', One of Caen's only living blood-relatives. Luri was able to track down the youngest son of her aunt V'ira to the streets of Ul'dah. When she connected the dots, she came to Caen and revealed the truth to him. While Caen hides inner worry of being apart of a family again, he cannot help but feel at home again, in a place where he belongs. Until her recent disappearance, Caen had stayed in her home in the city of Ul'dah... now Caen searches for his cousin hoping to reunite them again as she once did for him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Bodyguard: '''[[Furious Storm]]''', The bodyguard of Lurial Vashir, Caen and &amp;quot;Fury&amp;quot; instantly became best friends when Caen decided to break the shyness between them by bringing the roegadyn a warm apple tart after his first night at Lurial's home. Now the two are basically inseparable, and Caen never forgets to bring the large mute treats from around Thanalan. While he did vanish around the same time as Lurial, he still sends him treats and candy via moogle post, as they can apparently track the roegadyn better than Caen could.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Friends===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caen has had the fortune of meeting all kinds of souls by hanging near ''The Quicksand'' after leaving Vesper Bay when Faust journeyed to Mor Dhona to find his wife, Maria. Some have touched his lives more than others and even after quitting his job serving patrons for Momodi, he still eats most of his meals there and hangs around for a good while after. Being the jewel of the sand, Ul'dah is frequented by many and Caen makes a good attempt to meet them all, offering strangers a friendly flap of his ears and a story exchange to boot.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
((friend's list coming soon T-T))&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Chocobos===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen has always had a great affinity for befriending chocobos. He often wished to become a chocobo porter or breeder when he was younger. Some will find he actually talks to them. In moments of stress, the lad will often wander near chocobos and pet/talk to them. Since the birds seem to enjoy his company, many nearby porters or breeders don't mind his presence. It's not entirely sure if Caen wears yellow to display his love for chocobos or for the sun, since he favors both. Yet when asked, he will mention that he might favor chocobos more because you can't hug the sun. He dreams of having a chocobo of his own someday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Enemies===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caen doesn't have any real enemies that he knows of. He has lived an honest life and cannot hold a grudge to save it. Even when disrespected or belittled by an individual, he is quick to forgive all after sleeping it off, and greets them the next day, cheerful as ever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;font-size:40px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Rumours&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:PeekingCaen.jpg|center|PeekingCaen.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
===Common Rumors===&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;That there is the boy who works at Momodi's place, wiv ol' Naih'ir... the one who's always on them rails. I dunno how'ee does it, but his smile sure brightens up a room!&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;What sort of fool wears such bright yellow? If I wore such on the frontlines, archers would have me dead in seconds. If you ask me, he's just asking for death.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;Such a cutie... but what sort of name is Caen for a miqo'te? Doesn't he respect his own kind?&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moderate Rumors===&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;Shhh, don't stare... that's the boy who was kidnapped. The one by that ruffian Cade... the poor dear must've been so frightened.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot; Hah! Y'know Momodi won't let him drink? Says he's too young fer such things... but I saw him get a good boxin' 'round the ears last time he was sniffin' 'round it! Haw Haw Haw!&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;That little shite ate all my fish! Orphans... hate their scum!&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Rare Rumors===&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot; I heard him sing once, yes. It was so beautiful... but so sad. You could almost feel as if there was some pain in his heart... his very soul.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot; Didn't y'know? 'ee can't remember a lick o' who he was b'fore the moon fell them years ago. Poor bloke. Must be lonely, havin' no-one to hold yeh.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;Calls himself the 'errand-tail' of the Sultana... he's the one Raubahn trusts with those letters. Sometimes I wonder what's in them, but it seems he doesn't know himself. Best not to dwell on such things.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;They were carrying the little lad in from the Shroud. You should have heard his breathing; I was so afraid for him. A monster? No... they say it was one of those Warriors. Are even our children unsafe?&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;

::* ''&amp;quot;Caen?  That's my younger cousin - honest, brave, and constantly getting into trouble.

==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;font-size:40px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;The Story&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:CaenByEdge.jpg|right|CaenByEdge.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
===The Legacy of C'aseen the Poet===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen's father, known as C'aseen the Poet by his brothers in arms, was a monk in the ranks of the Fists of Rhalgr. At a young age, he abandoned his tribe along with his best friend F'une to study the ways of balance and the fist, and later came to unlock his hidden chakra. Although he claimed to be a pacifist, C'aseen yearned for unmatched power so that he could defend his way of life unopposed, whereas F'une was more aggressive, and fully embraced the way of The Destroyer. C'aseen would make a habit of sharing his small wealth with the less fortunate of Ala Mhigo, and aiding in small jobs among the lower class, behind F'une's back. He would thatch holes in roofs, gather game, and pull caravans himself. He was also known by his spouts of poetry that he would preach about the world and life. It was then, he met a woman named V'ira Tarja and fell madly in love with her. Traditions of his kind be damned, he would spend nights singing ballads to her... not knowing she was fighting feelings for him. Eventually they would come together and sire a white-haired boy who V'ira named Vailyx.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Vailyx, the Swifttail of Ala Mhigo===&lt;br /&gt;
Vailyx grew into a wild-cat like his mother, yet bore the confidence of his father. Fond of all manner of mischief, he grew up alongside his best friend and cousin Tiergan Vashir. Along with Tiergan's sister Lurial, the trio would cast bouts of chaos among the lower levels of Ala Mhigo. Dodoes would suddenly find their pens opened and run through the streets, food from merchant stalls would go missing, and there was even one incident when the three road atop a chocobo taken back from a corrupt tax collector for their neighbor, who was struggling to make ends meet. Vailyx was always there to save his friends from peril, coming out with a bloody nose and a few other bruises; his trade-mark fanged smirk not wavering. He named himself the ''Swifttail'' of Ala Mhigo, claiming it was a title bestowed by the Twelve for his cunning and speed, but in truth, he merely thought it sounded cool and intimidating. At one point, he even dyed his long, white hair into a bright red colour, so that he would look like a fiery comet as he rushed through the streets and rooftops. Their childhood was happy... but it was not to last.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Escape from Ala Mhigo===&lt;br /&gt;
Vailyx was eight years old when the Empire lay waste to Ala Mhigo in their campaign to take over Eorzea. F'une attempted to sneak C'aseen and his family onto a refugee caravan, fleeing the city amongst the chaos. This act cost F'une his life, but ensured his comrade's safety. V'ira's family lost or missing, C'aseen thought it would be best to take his family far from Ala Mhigo and start over, eventually booking them a passage to Limsa Lominsa, the entire journey from Ala Mhigo to Limsa taking two years. It would be there that V'ira bore another child, a small blue-haired boy with amber eyes named Caen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Caen, The Amber Dawn===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen's childhood in Limsa Lominsa was a rather happy one. C'aseen sought to join the ranks of the Maelstrom, the Grand Company of Limsa, and Vailyx sought to become a warrior like his father. This left Caen alone most of the time, when he was able to wander off without V'ira. Caen was the representation of a new and happy life for the four, and a hope for the future. As Caen grew older, he adopted a mixture of his family traits. While his mischief wasn't as grand as Vailyx's schemes back in Ala Mhigo, they often led to street brawls with the local bullies who beat Caen, as he was a miqo'te with the hyuran name. During the brawls, many of the &amp;quot;bullies&amp;quot; came to like the boy, as the miqo'te never fought as if he was fighting for his life and instead fighting for the fun of it. It became clear that it was difficult to become enemies with the boy, and most of his hyran adversaries turned into good friends or friendly rivals. When he wasn't tussling in the lower decks, Caen would climb to the higher towers of Limsa, looking out at the sea to watch his father fish, and see ships come in to port. He came to know almost everyone, as he was quite nosey, and always was willing to lend a helping hand to a downtrodden stranger. V'ira would teach the young kitten to sing, to aid him in his quest to make all strangers happy, but not without warning the boy of the dangers of the world.&lt;br /&gt;
By the time Caen grew to his ninth year, he was already a thorn in his older brother's side. Constantly trying to show Vailyx up was a favorite pastime of his, while Vailyx had grown cold by comparison, still mourning the deaths of his two best friends Tiergan and Lurial. He was well on his way to becoming worthy enough to study in the ways of a Dragoon, which Caen would lovingly attempt to mimic. By Caen's tenth year, Vailyx has sought to forgive himself for not being able to save Tiergan and Lurial, seeing much of his younger self in Caen, who would bring light and joy to his terrible sorrow and cast it aside. For the first time, Caen was able to break through his older brother's cold exterior, and the brothers would bond happily for the next year. Another year passed... and with it, the Grand Companies of Eorzea prepared to meet Nael Van Darnus's VIIth Legion on the fields of Carteneau.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Cruelty of Fate===&lt;br /&gt;
C'aseen and Vailyx had made up their minds to fight alongside the Maelstrom forces at Carteneau. Yet, as Dalamud had lowered closer to Eorzea, Vailyx feared that the battle would not be won, and urged V'ira to take Caen on a ship and flee the continent. Caen took this terribly, and took up his practice lance, trying to fight Vailyx to let him go with them. Vailyx, out of options, slashed the practice lance in half and cut his brother across the cheek in an attempt to make his brother hate him, so that he wouldn't want to join them at Carteneau. Caen, now sporting a nasty cross-shaped wound, flung himself at his brother, understanding his fears and embracing him one last time. Vailyx would hand his mother letters to Caen, and, embracing them one last time, rushed off to join C'aseen at the battle. Caen and V'ira were able to get passage to a ship heading for another continent with other refugees, yet as Dalamud drew ever closer, the captain of their ship, Kruz Rosgaldornyn, revealed his ugly plot to turn the ship towards Ul'dah, and sell everyone aboard as slaves into the Ul'dahn underground black market. Kruz would attempt to seize V'ira and have his way with the miqo'te woman before they arrived, but Caen begged and pleaded him to release her, offering his own life in exchange. A twisted being, Kruz agreed, and took the young lad to his quarters, where he tortured the boy for making him look weak in front of his crew. As the beating grew worse, Caen could not take it anymore and bit the man's ear off. Enraged, Kruz tied the boy down and prepared to cut Caen's tail off. Before the blow was struck, V'ira burst down the door, stunning Kruz with a glass bottle to the face and released Caen. As they rushed to a lifeboat, the waves grew restless and aggressive, and the skies turned violent. Flares rained down from the sky, flinging themselves into the deep ocean. Amidst the chaos, V'ira removed her violet earrings and wrapped them around Vailyx's letters, tucking them into Caen's jacket. She embraced her son for the last time, and the ship was hit by one of Bahamut's flares. Caen was thrust into the air along with debris from the ship, the bodies of refugees, and V'ira. He reached for her, in an attempt to fly towards her again, and screamed her name, just as she was engulfed by flames. Caen hit the water with a terrible force... and fell into the abyss of his mind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Awakening to Null===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen awoke to a warm bed, in the small home of Faust Jabari, a fisherman in Vesper Bay. He had been asleep for nearly a week. When Faust asked the boy his name, the boy could not recall. In fact he knew not who he was, nor where he was... nor why Faust had no tail when the lad had one. Faust attempted to look through the letters Caen had washed ashore with, yet they were almost too water-logged to read. All he could make out is they were addressed to &amp;quot;Caen&amp;quot;... from someone named Vailyx. Taking a shot in the dark, Faust would return Caen's name to him, and gift the lost miqo'te with that of his own surname, &amp;quot;Jabari&amp;quot; until his memories returned. Caen was timid and shy around the other kids in Vesper, while many of them were around their eleventh year, as he was, he felt terrified to be around people. His days were spent trying to piece together who he was, and his nightmares were plagued by a vision of his chasing a red-haired knight with a lance into a blinding horizon, yet he could never catch them. It wasn't until Faust took Caen along with him to trade his wares at Ul'dah, did remnants of himself return.&lt;br /&gt;
Faust briefly left Caen with Momodi of ''The Quicksand'' while he went to trade his wares at market. It was then that Caen witnessed the sorrow of a beautiful lady named Sarisa Clementine. A band of adventurers, her comrades tried anything they could to get her to find hope that her lover had survived the Battle Of Carteneau, but she would turn them away. Caen was overcome with a need to make her smile, and approached her, initiating conversation. Sarisa was so shocked that a mysterious boy would just walk up and chat with her, that she obliged. The two would meet at ''The Quicksand'' and talk often, about Caen's missing memories, and of Sarisa and her love for her fiancee, Lieru. And one day, Caen sang to her... a ballad conjured from the depths of his mind... and for the first time in a long time, she smiled. It was then that Caen decided, it was smiles like hers he wanted to one day protect. And he would be the light in the darkness for those who had lost their own. He dreamt of a world without sorrow, without war or bloodshed, and became determined to become strong enough to herald the arrival of such a world.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:RainyCaen.jpg|left|RainyCaen.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
===Five Years Later... (2.0)===&lt;br /&gt;
After convincing Faust to journey to Mor Dhona and find his wife Maria, Caen had sang in the streets of Ul'dah for gil, while also finding an opportunity to become a messenger bearing secret letters for groups that would not like to see them taken from moogles. It was Naih'ir Molkot and Momodi of ''The Quicksand'' that would offer Caen a real job, washing dishes and serving the patrons of the inn. During this time, Caen would also find habit of &amp;quot;perching&amp;quot; atop the rails of the room, conversing with strangers and getting them to detail their adventures outside the desert, having no memory of the world beyond. Caen still yearns for a place to call home once again, and prays that the Twelve might offer a hint as to why his memory was taken from him. Still, he wields a confident smirk and a bright yellow attire, in a hope to be a light for everyone and make them smile...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Brave New Realm (2.1)===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen could say his life changed when he met a group of adventurers in the Quicksand. The first man was a Dragoon named Artorias Mason. At first the Huyr was a marvel to behold, capable of endless feats and even more knowledge. He had had everything... and lost it all to the Empire. He was an inspiration... yet darkness existed in the mans heart having lost all he held dear. He denied the Gods existence and placed Caen's undying faith to the Twelve among the ranks of the pathetic; an event that shook the boy to his core and giving him doubt for the first time.  During a trip out to Crescent Cove, Caen and Artorias run in with Garrett Slater, a free-paladin in training. Caen shows them both a crashed Garlean vessel, rusted and long-dead, when they are attacked by a giant yarzon. After defeating the vilekin, Garrett and Artorias meet in private when Caen is suddenly caught in a Garlean ambush. In a narrow victory, the group is able to flee towards Ul'dah to return Caen to the Quicksand. The following day, Caen was approached by a woman named Kelvena, who searches for her father Ikus and his mercenary company Lost Rogues. When she finds out that Caen has never been outside Ul'dah, she, Artorias, and Garrett decide to take the boy to Limsa Lominsa. There, it is revealed that Artorias plans to kill himself after fighting the primals and defeating Gaius von Baelsar. Although Caen pleads with him, Artorias' mind is made up and he eventually leaves. It is then that Kelvena and Garrett take Caen to Gridania... where Caen visits the Lancer's Guild and finds the Last Letter of the Swifttail. These last written words of his older brother, Vailyx ensure that Caen really is Caen, and that he should continue to live his own life as his father and mother had wanted. Still wishing he could remember his family, Caen tries to find solace among his new friends. Artorias senses the boy's strife and bids Kelvena look after Caen like an older sister.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Shards of the Forsaken (2.2)===&lt;br /&gt;
One night, Caen began hearing voices in his head, including images and emotions felt by people he didn't know. This led him to run off into the Gold Court unable to control his own pain. Garrett, Kelvena, and Artorias would try to help Caen... only to be approached by two enigmatic miqo'te. Tiergan Vashir and An'nai came to find Caen, but after Artorias threatened Tiergan, the miqo'te let slip that Caen may, in fact have a shard within him, allowing him to tap into latent power and talk with others over long distances. It was only after Caen got his control over his emotions that Brynhilde Wulf appeared before the lad. After inspecting the boy, she made it clear to everyone that he was not one of the shard bearers... but in his mind, Caen could hear her saying something different. He was a shard-bearer... and a rune slowly affixed itself above Caen's heart.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Seekers (2.3)===&lt;br /&gt;
It was the day when Caen was waiting to be deployed with a handful of other new Flame cadets to the Sagolii desert. The information broker, Lurial Vashir found Caen first and told him the truth. His family was still alive, and his older cousins had survived the moonfall five years ago. Shocked, the miqo'te boy grew quickly attached to both Lurial and Tiergan.&lt;br /&gt;
Caen's Flame deployment also ended quickly, as sand worms attacked the site of the training grounds. With the telepathic assistance from afar through the link, Caen was able to drag the soldier caravan and a few survivors back to Ul'dah. Caen was granted a scout position, which was limited to parcel and supply delivery, if only for the boy's speed and diligence.&lt;br /&gt;
The dark hood of the Entudenin reared its head and began to attack shard-bearers, Caen included. At one point, Caen was pushed off of the high walls of Coerthas by a dark agent of the Entudenin. The boy was paralyzed from the waist down and after three days, was found by Tiergan, who had to fight past two agents to rescue his cousin. Caen was taken to the Shroud for extensive healing and afterwards, found himself hiding from the shard-bearer headquarters, afraid of being attacked by another of the dark hoods.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Taken (2.55)===&lt;br /&gt;
As the moon cycled around the world over and over, Caen took up his old errand-tail ways by delivering letters for different people in Ul'dah, and occasionally the other nations of Eorzea. However, due to the sensitive information he unwittingly carried, he was made a target by the Syndicate agents after he was seen handing over letters addressed to the Sultana. On the night where the Eorzean Alliance were greeting the ambassadors from Ishgard, fighting began to break out in the city. Caen was chased by a few of the brass blades through the Gold Court, and nearly made it to the Royal Promenade, where he was knocked out by an ambush. Caen was imprisoned, and then sold into a slave ring with the rest of the prisoners that sat in the Ul'dahn cells. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== These Eyes of Mine (3.1)===&lt;br /&gt;
It was soon discovered that Caen had been sold to an illegal gladiator ring where slaves were matched against each other for fictional lands and titles in a game played by the nobility of Ul'dah. The boy was forced to surrender his self-made vows to never take a life, as some fights in the ring were kill or be killed. His only possessions were a wicked pair of twin daggers that he was taught to use by another fellow slave named Yae. After numerous attempts to escape and push letters from windows, Lurial Vashir and a number of brave souls, including her brother Tiergan, were able to locate Caen and organized an assault on the ringleader's mansion. Only known as her moniker, &amp;quot;The Woman&amp;quot;, Caen's master threw all of her slaves and guards at the band of rescuers and even drugged Caen and set him upon his former friends. Caen was rendered unconscious during the fight and taken to the Forgotten Springs for healing and rest. After waking up, Caen felt terrified to meet his cousins and friends again. He perceived his soul and eyes to be stained with the lives he was forced to take during his time as a gladiator. For the time being, he subtly struggles to continue wearing the mask of unbridled happiness just as he did before. The lad now carries a pain in his heart and wonders if he even deserves to live after betraying his promise to never stain his hands with blood. In spite of his inner turmoil, he made preparations to become an adventurer himself and sought employment in Ishgard, recently united with the Eorzean Alliance. Employed as a supply runner for Betelgeuse Bordeaux's Button Shoppe, Caen finds himself working early mornings; running across the realm to spread elaborate buttons to the rest of Eorzea's markets and weaver guilds. The lad spends alot of time in the Quicksand, stashing away his earned gil to fund an expedition to the mysteries of the northern lands where the lost boy hopes to find himself again.&lt;br /&gt;

==Character Connections==&lt;br /&gt;
There are an abundance of souls who may have crossed paths with Caen as they live in Eorzea~&lt;br /&gt;
::* Anyone who has lived in Ul'Dah for the last 2-3 years would've seen him working at ''The Quicksand.''&lt;br /&gt;
::* He's also a well-known messenger, running parcels across Thanalan for the past 3 years. It's possible you enlisted his services.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Anyone who had resided in Vesper Bay or Crescent Cove in the last 5 years.&lt;br /&gt;
::* It's possible you have seen him honing his skill in the Pugilist's Guild in Ul'dah.&lt;br /&gt;
::* He may have bugged you about your adventures or asked you if you were alright if you wandered into ''The Quicksand'' looking broody.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Although rare, it is also possible you heard him singing in the streets of Ul'dah. His favorite spots were The Gold Court, near the Thaumaturge's Guild, and the Hustling Strip.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Trivia &amp;amp; Misc==&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen will sometimes make subtle references to Final Fantasy IX.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen's songs are Final Fantasy songs given lyrics by Katethegreat19 on Youtube. He will often recall that a mysterious bard taught him these songs. All other songs or ballads are original pieces.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen is unofficially voiced by Antony Del Rio.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen will often be played with techno/dance/hip hop music in the background and his soundtrack depicts songs of this genre. Examples include artists like Imagine Dragons, Eiffel 65, and the soundtrack from the Persona series of games, just to name a few. This is a reference to Vysce's favorite music as a child.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen's desire to &amp;quot;protect everyone's smiles&amp;quot; is a reference to the Kamen Rider series, particularly Kamen Rider OOO.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen's patron deity Azeyma is close to the word Asthma, which Caen's player was temporarily sick with while creating Caen.&lt;br /&gt;
::* All of Caen's family have lighter-colored hair, with him and his father having the only dark hair amongst their relatives. This is an allusion to Caen's player's (Vysce) actual family where the entire family is composed of people with blond hair, save for Vysce, who was born blond yet later grew dark mahogany.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Sarisa and Lieru are from a love-story, rped by Caen's player in ''Guild Wars 2''. Lieru is also the first character he ever created.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen's yellow eyes are a tip of the hat to his player's time rping in ''Star Wars: The Old Republic'' where he wielded a yellow lightsaber.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen will often sing &amp;quot;Fish! Fish! Fish!&amp;quot; when offered a cooked fish. This is a reference to the champion Fizz from ''League of Legends.''&lt;br /&gt;
::* The lad's theme is the &amp;quot;Netsky&amp;quot; remix of the song ''Finale'' by Madeon. When dueling him, a faster version of the song will play. His other themes include ''I'm Alive'' by Becca, and ''New Divide'' by Linkin Park.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen is always 100% IC, even when out leveling. SO if you see him, don't hesitate to say hello!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;''&amp;quot;Believe in me, for my resolve does not waver, nor can it be fractured.&amp;quot; ~Vailyx the Swifttail''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caen Jabari is a young miqo'te who was found washed ashore in Vesper Bay on the day of the Great Calamity. Caen remembered nothing of his first eleven years, and woke up to a world he did not remember living in. All he had on him, besides the tattered rags that covered his body, were water-logged letters addressed to &amp;quot;Caen&amp;quot; from an older brother &amp;quot;Vailyx&amp;quot; and held together by a pair of violet earrings. Thankfully, the kinder fisherman, Faust Jabari was able to find the young miqo'te and semi-raised the boy to be able to live on his own. Five years have passed... and Caen has begun to wonder whether the loss of his memories was a kindness of the Twelve... or a cruel theft of his past.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
(2.2 Patch) After the fortunate meeting with the elemental sage, Faolan, who returned Caen's memories to him, Eorzea seems ever bigger to Caen. Remembering he was born to a kind family and remembering that he lost everything in one night has caused the boy equal strife and uncertainty of his place in this realm reborn. Along with his older cousins, Tiergan and Lurial, he longs to be a hero in this new era like his brother Vailyx before him.&lt;br /&gt;

| &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;color:#f0f8ff&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Cross shaped scar across his cheek. A strange rune-shaped burn over his heart.&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
Caen sports a wide-eyed, youthful face with bronzed skin due to living under the desert sun for years. Although he's lived in Ul'dah in the summers he remembers, Caen sports a slight Lominsan accent due to being raised in the city beside the Rhotano. His eyes are a bright amber and his large canines tend to show when he grins with his teeth. The lad also sports a shaggy mane of royal blue hair that would attempt to curl inwards over his face, yet it is mostly kept covered by a light head-wrapping. On his left cheek, he bears a X-shaped scar that was given to him by none other than his brother, Vailyx, bestowed when Caen pleaded to stay with his father and brother at the Battle of Carteneau. Vailyx would scar his younger sibling in trying to make Caen hate him and flee Eorzea with his mother, for the sake of keeping them both alive. &lt;br /&gt;
Were one to look, there is a rather mysterious and elaborate rune over his heart, although the boy keeps it covered. Caen is almost always donned in yellow-coloured garb, to show off his love for the sunlight and acts as a light to cheer up the downtrodden of Eorzea.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caen believes that his tail is the most unique part about himself, often remarking how dull he would be without it. In his mind, Caen believes that tails make the miqo'te and takes his own very seriously. It will often seem to have a mind of its own, swishing back and forth rapidly in excitement and drooping low and motionless in sadness. He also loves to flutter his furry ears about depending on his current emotion. Joy will sent them flickering up and down, where sadness or fear will lower his quivering ears near his head. In addition, the boy has a tendency to rub his ears whenever he feels nervous, flustered, or slightly agitated in some way. His mother, V'ira, would often take him and rub his ears when Caen was a small boy. This calms him down and subconsciously makes him feel loved or at home.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Personality &amp;amp; Mannerisms===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Youngcaen.jpg|left|Youngcaen.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
Caen is wild and carefree making him a perfect candidate for odd jobs through-out Thanalan and Ul'dah herself. A friend to everyone, the boy is cheerful and will rarely hesitate to chat up a stranger. His favorite pastime is residing within ''The Quicksand'' to watch the comings and goings of adventurers, occasionally prodding them for tales of their adventures outside the desert. This, often than not, leads the lad into troublesome situations. Caen can often be immature and ignorant for his age - a side effect of being to close to one of Bahamut's flares when the moon fell to earth and broke apart. Growing up on the streets of Ul'dah without parents did not make Caen privy to the know-how of the world beyond the sands, and obtains most of his knowledge from overhearing patrons of the Quicksand and absorbing information from anyone who would offer it. His reading and writing abilities are sub-par at best and many of his morals and values are born from story books and tales of knights and honour- and anything his mother told him as a boy.&lt;br /&gt;
He tends to talk fast when excited, leading to a wide arrange of slang. Yet when he does interact in serious conversation, he can pull larger words from his vocabulary (if he remembers them). Caen is far from being a noble and the comparison between his social status and such is rather laughable. It is worth noting that the miqo'te lad also has a tendency to stutter when he tells a lie or is frightened. His friends will notice Caen mimicking actions in effort to understand and grow. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caen has incredible balance, something Hamon noticed just before taking the boy under his tutelage. The young miqo'te demonstrates his balance fairly often by &amp;quot;perching&amp;quot; atop railings and high walls, observing everyone below him. His favorite spot is inside and outside the ''Quicksand'', where he can see new adventurers and traders visit the city. The lad is also a believer in good and bad karma, as well as good luck and bad luck. He'll often speak of what leads to one or the other, waking him from slumber would be bad luck since such can be obtained by waking a sleeping cat. Yet good luck could be obtained by things like giving coin to a soul in need or helping heal a wounded stranger. Many things are common sayings from sailors... yet he will usually make up his own fonts of good and bad luck without noticing. Caen's worship of the Twelve is difficult to notice. While he believes that the Twelve exist, the boy also believes that they are absent in this new era, asleep or otherwise, and are watching down upon everyone without the ability to offer aid to the realm. Caen finds that merely living his life in with good intentions and being a light to Eorzea is all the Gods currently want out of him and it is his hope that they smile when they see him simply living. He may recount of having lunch with Azeyma, the Warden, on many occasions.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Caen likes grouping examples in threes. For example, where one might say, &amp;quot;You can say that again.&amp;quot; Caen would say &amp;quot;Y'can say that thrice.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
::* He also ends things he says with an added &amp;quot;Eh?&amp;quot; or &amp;quot;Y'know.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* He often packs a picnic and eats it beside the stone of The Warden in eastern Thanalan. After experiencing a dream where Azeyma appeared before Caen and remarked on how handsome he was, the miqo'te makes an attempt to visit the stone a few times a week for lunch or mid-afternoon tarts. Whether his dream was divine intervention or having too much sugar before bed, who can say.&lt;br /&gt;
::* His pronunciation of certain words will remain constant. Like &amp;quot;Yes&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Alright&amp;quot; become &amp;quot;Yus&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Awright&amp;quot;, respectively.&lt;br /&gt;
::* That being said, Caen's father, C'aseen the Poet, shines through the lad, and when focused and serious, he can speak next to proper, including inventive analogies and metaphors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;font-size:40px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Martial Arts&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
===Fighting Style===&lt;br /&gt;
::*Caen is naturally gifted with hand-to-hand combat, but is clumsy as a toddler when it comes to a sword. During his childhood in Limsa Lominsa, he was often made fun of for his Hyuran name, which led to many street brawls with the local bullies. He taught himself how to punch, kick, and dodge out of attacks when overwhelmed, becoming effective at fighting many targets at once.&lt;br /&gt;
::*When his brother Vailyx began to take up the art of the Lance, Caen naturally went out and carved his own pole-arm out of a fallen tree branch to teach himself to do that as well, desiring skills better than his perfect brother. Vailyx was never to busy to show Caen up and belittle the boy on his flawed techniques, yet managed to teach him proper form over the course of three years. By berating his younger brother on what not to do, he effectively taught him how to use the lance as an extension of his arm. And although Caen was never old enough to leave Limsa and study the lance abroad, Vailyx was secretly proud of Caen.&lt;br /&gt;
::*Caen continued to pave his way through the Thanalan with his fists after he had awoken from losing his memory. After saving his foster-father, Faust, from a yarzon swarm a month after awakening, he took Caen  to the Pugilist's Guild within Ul'dah, where the boy would hone his skills. While mostly his training pertained of running errands for the Holyfist, Hamon, Caen did occasionally teach himself a less-clumsy fighting style after watching the students spar.&lt;br /&gt;
::*Caen often speaks of how beautiful and interesting he believes swords to be, but he cannot properly wield one on his own. When he does, he finds the blade &amp;quot;rejecting&amp;quot; him. Still he finds them incredibly intriguing.&lt;br /&gt;
::*Recently, the yellow-clad miqo'te has shown an impressive form using twin daggers. His agility from his training under Hamon and acrobatic nature have benefitted him greatly in close-quarters combat.&lt;br /&gt;

===Aliases/Nicknames===&lt;br /&gt;
::* '''Canary''': After many attempts to get the lonely adventurer Sarisa Clementine to smile, Caen finally succeeded after singing a ballad to her one morning. She smiled for the first time in two years, since Carteneau, and called him her Canary. It has become a rare nickname for Caen, as few know of it, yet he will cherish it forever. It was also a name called to him by his mother, V'ira, when she taught him to sing as a child.&lt;br /&gt;
::* '''Chocobo''': Called this by his close friends, Caen is often compared to the yellow flightless bird of Eorzea, due to his bright yellow choice of clothing.&lt;br /&gt;
::* '''Blue Wolf''': Only the residents of Vesper Bay would call Caen by such. Once when he was skinny-dipping in the Bay, a group of bullies thought it would be funny to steal his clothes. Stark-naked, Caen stealthily tried to make it back to Faust's house to no avail, as the streets were rather crowded. He soon came across a pail of blue paint, and, seeing it as his only option, dumped it all over himself. He would then dart through the streets, on all fours, to Faust's home, terrifying the citizenry who lay sight to the &amp;quot;Blue Wolf Monster&amp;quot;. After Faust explained the truth to everyone to avoid panic, it became a running gag within the small town's residents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

===Family===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Father: C'aseen the Poet, ''deceased''&lt;br /&gt;
::* Mother: V'ira Tarja, ''deceased''&lt;br /&gt;
::* Older Brother: Vailyx the Swifttail, ''missing in action''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Foster Father: Faust Jabari, A hyuran fisherman and resident of Vesper Bay. He was fishing off the coast of Crescent Cove when he noticed a small boy clinging to a large piece of driftwood in the sea. He became Caen's foster father, and attempted to teach Caen the ways of the world the boy had forgotten about.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Cousin: '''[[Tiergan Vashir]]''', One of Caen's only living blood-relatives. Since he learned that Caen is his long-lost cousin, Teigan is fiercely protective of the lad, trying to be the brother Vailyx would have been to Caen. Caen loves his cousin dearly, and often tries to act out to make the older miqo'te proud of him. Caen, unbeknownst to Tiergan, would often stalk his cousin in order to study him and adopt his mannerisms. Still, much of Tiergan's past is a mystery to Caen, as the boy is unsure whether it is inappropriate to ask. Even still, friends often mistake Tiergan and Caen for brothers, and the two would go along with it, as Caen feels that Tiergan is a great older brother, in Vailyx's absence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Cousin: '''[[Lurial Vashir]]''', One of Caen's only living blood-relatives. Luri was able to track down the youngest son of her aunt V'ira to the streets of Ul'dah. When she connected the dots, she came to Caen and revealed the truth to him. While Caen hides inner worry of being apart of a family again, he cannot help but feel at home again, in a place where he belongs. Until her recent disappearance, Caen had stayed in her home in the city of Ul'dah... now Caen searches for his cousin hoping to reunite them again as she once did for him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
::* Bodyguard: '''[[Furious Storm]]''', The bodyguard of Lurial Vashir, Caen and &amp;quot;Fury&amp;quot; instantly became best friends when Caen decided to break the shyness between them by bringing the roegadyn a warm apple tart after his first night at Lurial's home. Now the two are basically inseparable, and Caen never forgets to bring the large mute treats from around Thanalan. While he did vanish around the same time as Lurial, he still sends him treats and candy via moogle post, as they can apparently track the roegadyn better than Caen could.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Friends===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caen has had the fortune of meeting all kinds of souls by hanging near ''The Quicksand'' after leaving Vesper Bay when Faust journeyed to Mor Dhona to find his wife, Maria. Some have touched his lives more than others and even after quitting his job serving patrons for Momodi, he still eats most of his meals there and hangs around for a good while after. Being the jewel of the sand, Ul'dah is frequented by many and Caen makes a good attempt to meet them all, offering strangers a friendly flap of his ears and a story exchange to boot.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
((friend's list coming soon T-T))&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Chocobos===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen has always had a great affinity for befriending chocobos. He often wished to become a chocobo porter or breeder when he was younger. Some will find he actually talks to them. In moments of stress, the lad will often wander near chocobos and pet/talk to them. Since the birds seem to enjoy his company, many nearby porters or breeders don't mind his presence. It's not entirely sure if Caen wears yellow to display his love for chocobos or for the sun, since he favors both. Yet when asked, he will mention that he might favor chocobos more because you can't hug the sun. He dreams of having a chocobo of his own someday.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Enemies===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Caen doesn't have any real enemies that he knows of. He has lived an honest life and cannot hold a grudge to save it. Even when disrespected or belittled by an individual, he is quick to forgive all after sleeping it off, and greets them the next day, cheerful as ever.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

::* ''&amp;quot;What sort of fool wears such bright yellow? If I wore such on the frontlines, archers would have me dead in seconds. If you ask me, he's just asking for death.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;Such a cutie... but what sort of name is Caen for a miqo'te? Doesn't he respect his own kind?&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Moderate Rumors===&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot;Shhh, don't stare... that's the boy who was kidnapped. The one by that ruffian Cade... the poor dear must've been so frightened.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot; Hah! Y'know Momodi won't let him drink? Says he's too young fer such things... but I saw him get a good boxin' 'round the ears last time he was sniffin' 'round it! Haw Haw Haw!&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Rare Rumors===&lt;br /&gt;
::* ''&amp;quot; I heard him sing once, yes. It was so beautiful... but so sad. You could almost feel as if there was some pain in his heart... his very soul.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;

::* ''&amp;quot;Calls himself the 'errand-tail' of the Sultana... he's the one Raubahn trusts with those letters. Sometimes I wonder what's in them, but it seems he doesn't know himself. Best not to dwell on such things.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;

::* ''&amp;quot;Caen?  That's my younger cousin - honest, brave, and constantly getting into trouble.

==&amp;lt;div style=&amp;quot;background:#444363;font-size:40px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;&amp;quot;&amp;gt;The Story&amp;lt;/div&amp;gt;==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:CaenByEdge.jpg|right|CaenByEdge.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
===The Legacy of C'aseen the Poet===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen's father, known as C'aseen the Poet by his brothers in arms, was a monk in the ranks of the Fists of Rhalgr. At a young age, he abandoned his tribe along with his best friend F'une to study the ways of balance and the fist, and later came to unlock his hidden chakra. Although he claimed to be a pacifist, C'aseen yearned for unmatched power so that he could defend his way of life unopposed, whereas F'une was more aggressive, and fully embraced the way of The Destroyer. C'aseen would make a habit of sharing his small wealth with the less fortunate of Ala Mhigo, and aiding in small jobs among the lower class, behind F'une's back. He would thatch holes in roofs, gather game, and pull caravans himself. He was also known by his spouts of poetry that he would preach about the world and life. It was then, he met a woman named V'ira Tarja and fell madly in love with her. Traditions of his kind be damned, he would spend nights singing ballads to her... not knowing she was fighting feelings for him. Eventually they would come together and sire a white-haired boy who V'ira named Vailyx.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Vailyx, the Swifttail of Ala Mhigo===&lt;br /&gt;
Vailyx grew into a wild-cat like his mother, yet bore the confidence of his father. Fond of all manner of mischief, he grew up alongside his best friend and cousin Tiergan Vashir. Along with Tiergan's sister Lurial, the trio would cast bouts of chaos among the lower levels of Ala Mhigo. Dodoes would suddenly find their pens opened and run through the streets, food from merchant stalls would go missing, and there was even one incident when the three road atop a chocobo taken back from a corrupt tax collector for their neighbor, who was struggling to make ends meet. Vailyx was always there to save his friends from peril, coming out with a bloody nose and a few other bruises; his trade-mark fanged smirk not wavering. He named himself the ''Swifttail'' of Ala Mhigo, claiming it was a title bestowed by the Twelve for his cunning and speed, but in truth, he merely thought it sounded cool and intimidating. At one point, he even dyed his long, white hair into a bright red colour, so that he would look like a fiery comet as he rushed through the streets and rooftops. Their childhood was happy... but it was not to last.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Escape from Ala Mhigo===&lt;br /&gt;
Vailyx was eight years old when the Empire lay waste to Ala Mhigo in their campaign to take over Eorzea. F'une attempted to sneak C'aseen and his family onto a refugee caravan, fleeing the city amongst the chaos. This act cost F'une his life, but ensured his comrade's safety. V'ira's family lost or missing, C'aseen thought it would be best to take his family far from Ala Mhigo and start over, eventually booking them a passage to Limsa Lominsa, the entire journey from Ala Mhigo to Limsa taking two years. It would be there that V'ira bore another child, a small blue-haired boy with amber eyes named Caen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Caen, The Amber Dawn===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen's childhood in Limsa Lominsa was a rather happy one. C'aseen sought to join the ranks of the Maelstrom, the Grand Company of Limsa, and Vailyx sought to become a warrior like his father. This left Caen alone most of the time, when he was able to wander off without V'ira. Caen was the representation of a new and happy life for the four, and a hope for the future. As Caen grew older, he adopted a mixture of his family traits. While his mischief wasn't as grand as Vailyx's schemes back in Ala Mhigo, they often led to street brawls with the local bullies who beat Caen, as he was a miqo'te with the hyuran name. During the brawls, many of the &amp;quot;bullies&amp;quot; came to like the boy, as the miqo'te never fought as if he was fighting for his life and instead fighting for the fun of it. It became clear that it was difficult to become enemies with the boy, and most of his hyran adversaries turned into good friends or friendly rivals. When he wasn't tussling in the lower decks, Caen would climb to the higher towers of Limsa, looking out at the sea to watch his father fish, and see ships come in to port. He came to know almost everyone, as he was quite nosey, and always was willing to lend a helping hand to a downtrodden stranger. V'ira would teach the young kitten to sing, to aid him in his quest to make all strangers happy, but not without warning the boy of the dangers of the world.&lt;br /&gt;
By the time Caen grew to his ninth year, he was already a thorn in his older brother's side. Constantly trying to show Vailyx up was a favorite pastime of his, while Vailyx had grown cold by comparison, still mourning the deaths of his two best friends Tiergan and Lurial. He was well on his way to becoming worthy enough to study in the ways of a Dragoon, which Caen would lovingly attempt to mimic. By Caen's tenth year, Vailyx has sought to forgive himself for not being able to save Tiergan and Lurial, seeing much of his younger self in Caen, who would bring light and joy to his terrible sorrow and cast it aside. For the first time, Caen was able to break through his older brother's cold exterior, and the brothers would bond happily for the next year. Another year passed... and with it, the Grand Companies of Eorzea prepared to meet Nael Van Darnus's VIIth Legion on the fields of Carteneau.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Cruelty of Fate===&lt;br /&gt;
C'aseen and Vailyx had made up their minds to fight alongside the Maelstrom forces at Carteneau. Yet, as Dalamud had lowered closer to Eorzea, Vailyx feared that the battle would not be won, and urged V'ira to take Caen on a ship and flee the continent. Caen took this terribly, and took up his practice lance, trying to fight Vailyx to let him go with them. Vailyx, out of options, slashed the practice lance in half and cut his brother across the cheek in an attempt to make his brother hate him, so that he wouldn't want to join them at Carteneau. Caen, now sporting a nasty cross-shaped wound, flung himself at his brother, understanding his fears and embracing him one last time. Vailyx would hand his mother letters to Caen, and, embracing them one last time, rushed off to join C'aseen at the battle. Caen and V'ira were able to get passage to a ship heading for another continent with other refugees, yet as Dalamud drew ever closer, the captain of their ship, Kruz Rosgaldornyn, revealed his ugly plot to turn the ship towards Ul'dah, and sell everyone aboard as slaves into the Ul'dahn underground black market. Kruz would attempt to seize V'ira and have his way with the miqo'te woman before they arrived, but Caen begged and pleaded him to release her, offering his own life in exchange. A twisted being, Kruz agreed, and took the young lad to his quarters, where he tortured the boy for making him look weak in front of his crew. As the beating grew worse, Caen could not take it anymore and bit the man's ear off. Enraged, Kruz tied the boy down and prepared to cut Caen's tail off. Before the blow was struck, V'ira burst down the door, stunning Kruz with a glass bottle to the face and released Caen. As they rushed to a lifeboat, the waves grew restless and aggressive, and the skies turned violent. Flares rained down from the sky, flinging themselves into the deep ocean. Amidst the chaos, V'ira removed her violet earrings and wrapped them around Vailyx's letters, tucking them into Caen's jacket. She embraced her son for the last time, and the ship was hit by one of Bahamut's flares. Caen was thrust into the air along with debris from the ship, the bodies of refugees, and V'ira. He reached for her, in an attempt to fly towards her again, and screamed her name, just as she was engulfed by flames. Caen hit the water with a terrible force... and fell into the abyss of his mind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Awakening to Null===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen awoke to a warm bed, in the small home of Faust Jabari, a fisherman in Vesper Bay. He had been asleep for nearly a week. When Faust asked the boy his name, the boy could not recall. In fact he knew not who he was, nor where he was... nor why Faust had no tail when the lad had one. Faust attempted to look through the letters Caen had washed ashore with, yet they were almost too water-logged to read. All he could make out is they were addressed to &amp;quot;Caen&amp;quot;... from someone named Vailyx. Taking a shot in the dark, Faust would return Caen's name to him, and gift the lost miqo'te with that of his own surname, &amp;quot;Jabari&amp;quot; until his memories returned. Caen was timid and shy around the other kids in Vesper, while many of them were around their eleventh year, as he was, he felt terrified to be around people. His days were spent trying to piece together who he was, and his nightmares were plagued by a vision of his chasing a red-haired knight with a lance into a blinding horizon, yet he could never catch them. It wasn't until Faust took Caen along with him to trade his wares at Ul'dah, did remnants of himself return.&lt;br /&gt;
Faust briefly left Caen with Momodi of ''The Quicksand'' while he went to trade his wares at market. It was then that Caen witnessed the sorrow of a beautiful lady named Sarisa Clementine. A band of adventurers, her comrades tried anything they could to get her to find hope that her lover had survived the Battle Of Carteneau, but she would turn them away. Caen was overcome with a need to make her smile, and approached her, initiating conversation. Sarisa was so shocked that a mysterious boy would just walk up and chat with her, that she obliged. The two would meet at ''The Quicksand'' and talk often, about Caen's missing memories, and of Sarisa and her love for her fiancee, Lieru. And one day, Caen sang to her... a ballad conjured from the depths of his mind... and for the first time in a long time, she smiled. It was then that Caen decided, it was smiles like hers he wanted to one day protect. And he would be the light in the darkness for those who had lost their own. He dreamt of a world without sorrow, without war or bloodshed, and became determined to become strong enough to herald the arrival of such a world.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:RainyCaen.jpg|left|RainyCaen.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
===Five Years Later... (2.0)===&lt;br /&gt;
After convincing Faust to journey to Mor Dhona and find his wife Maria, Caen had sang in the streets of Ul'dah for gil, while also finding an opportunity to become a messenger bearing secret letters for groups that would not like to see them taken from moogles. It was Naih'ir Molkot and Momodi of ''The Quicksand'' that would offer Caen a real job, washing dishes and serving the patrons of the inn. During this time, Caen would also find habit of &amp;quot;perching&amp;quot; atop the rails of the room, conversing with strangers and getting them to detail their adventures outside the desert, having no memory of the world beyond. Caen still yearns for a place to call home once again, and prays that the Twelve might offer a hint as to why his memory was taken from him. Still, he wields a confident smirk and a bright yellow attire, in a hope to be a light for everyone and make them smile...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Brave New Realm (2.1)===&lt;br /&gt;
Caen could say his life changed when he met a group of adventurers in the Quicksand. The first man was a Dragoon named Artorias Mason. At first the Huyr was a marvel to behold, capable of endless feats and even more knowledge. He had had everything... and lost it all to the Empire. He was an inspiration... yet darkness existed in the mans heart having lost all he held dear. He denied the Gods existence and placed Caen's undying faith to the Twelve among the ranks of the pathetic; an event that shook the boy to his core and giving him doubt for the first time.  During a trip out to Crescent Cove, Caen and Artorias run in with Garrett Slater, a free-paladin in training. Caen shows them both a crashed Garlean vessel, rusted and long-dead, when they are attacked by a giant yarzon. After defeating the vilekin, Garrett and Artorias meet in private when Caen is suddenly caught in a Garlean ambush. In a narrow victory, the group is able to flee towards Ul'dah to return Caen to the Quicksand. The following day, Caen was approached by a woman named Kelvena, who searches for her father Ikus and his mercenary company Lost Rogues. When she finds out that Caen has never been outside Ul'dah, she, Artorias, and Garrett decide to take the boy to Limsa Lominsa. There, it is revealed that Artorias plans to kill himself after fighting the primals and defeating Gaius von Baelsar. Although Caen pleads with him, Artorias' mind is made up and he eventually leaves. It is then that Kelvena and Garrett take Caen to Gridania... where Caen visits the Lancer's Guild and finds the Last Letter of the Swifttail. These last written words of his older brother, Vailyx ensure that Caen really is Caen, and that he should continue to live his own life as his father and mother had wanted. Still wishing he could remember his family, Caen tries to find solace among his new friends. Artorias senses the boy's strife and bids Kelvena look after Caen like an older sister.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Shards of the Forsaken (2.2)===&lt;br /&gt;
One night, Caen began hearing voices in his head, including images and emotions felt by people he didn't know. This led him to run off into the Gold Court unable to control his own pain. Garrett, Kelvena, and Artorias would try to help Caen... only to be approached by two enigmatic miqo'te. Tiergan Vashir and An'nai came to find Caen, but after Artorias threatened Tiergan, the miqo'te let slip that Caen may, in fact have a shard within him, allowing him to tap into latent power and talk with others over long distances. It was only after Caen got his control over his emotions that Brynhilde Wulf appeared before the lad. After inspecting the boy, she made it clear to everyone that he was not one of the shard bearers... but in his mind, Caen could hear her saying something different. He was a shard-bearer... and a rune slowly affixed itself above Caen's heart.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Seekers (2.3)===&lt;br /&gt;
It was the day when Caen was waiting to be deployed with a handful of other new Flame cadets to the Sagolii desert. The information broker, Lurial Vashir found Caen first and told him the truth. His family was still alive, and his older cousins had survived the moonfall five years ago. Shocked, the miqo'te boy grew quickly attached to both Lurial and Tiergan.&lt;br /&gt;
Caen's Flame deployment also ended quickly, as sand worms attacked the site of the training grounds. With the telepathic assistance from afar through the link, Caen was able to drag the soldier caravan and a few survivors back to Ul'dah. Caen was granted a scout position, which was limited to parcel and supply delivery, if only for the boy's speed and diligence.&lt;br /&gt;
The dark hood of the Entudenin reared its head and began to attack shard-bearers, Caen included. At one point, Caen was pushed off of the high walls of Coerthas by a dark agent of the Entudenin. The boy was paralyzed from the waist down and after three days, was found by Tiergan, who had to fight past two agents to rescue his cousin. Caen was taken to the Shroud for extensive healing and afterwards, found himself hiding from the shard-bearer headquarters, afraid of being attacked by another of the dark hoods.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Taken (2.55)===&lt;br /&gt;
As the moon cycled around the world over and over, Caen took up his old errand-tail ways by delivering letters for different people in Ul'dah, and occasionally the other nations of Eorzea. However, due to the sensitive information he unwittingly carried, he was made a target by the Syndicate agents after he was seen handing over letters addressed to the Sultana. On the night where the Eorzean Alliance were greeting the ambassadors from Ishgard, fighting began to break out in the city. Caen was chased by a few of the brass blades through the Gold Court, and nearly made it to the Royal Promenade, where he was knocked out by an ambush. Caen was imprisoned, and then sold into a slave ring with the rest of the prisoners that sat in the Ul'dahn cells. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== These Eyes of Mine (3.1)===&lt;br /&gt;
It was soon discovered that Caen had been sold to an illegal gladiator ring where slaves were matched against each other for fictional lands and titles in a game played by the nobility of Ul'dah. The boy was forced to surrender his self-made vows to never take a life, as some fights in the ring were kill or be killed. His only possessions were a wicked pair of twin daggers that he was taught to use by another fellow slave named Yae. After numerous attempts to escape and push letters from windows, Lurial Vashir and a number of brave souls, including her brother Tiergan, were able to locate Caen and organized an assault on the ringleader's mansion. Only known as her moniker, &amp;quot;The Woman&amp;quot;, Caen's master threw all of her slaves and guards at the band of rescuers and even drugged Caen and set him upon his former friends. Caen was rendered unconscious during the fight and taken to the Forgotten Springs for healing and rest. After waking up, Caen felt terrified to meet his cousins and friends again. He perceived his soul and eyes to be stained with the lives he was forced to take during his time as a gladiator. For the time being, he subtly struggles to continue wearing the mask of unbridled happiness just as he did before. The lad now carries a pain in his heart and wonders if he even deserves to live after betraying his promise to never stain his hands with blood. In spite of his inner turmoil, he made preparations to become an adventurer himself and sought employment in Ishgard, recently united with the Eorzean Alliance. Employed as a supply runner for Betelgeuse Bordeaux's Button Shoppe, Caen finds himself working early mornings; running across the realm to spread elaborate buttons to the rest of Eorzea's markets and weaver guilds. The lad spends alot of time in the Quicksand, stashing away his earned gil to fund an expedition to the mysteries of the northern lands where the lost boy hopes to find himself again.&lt;br /&gt;

==Profile==&lt;br /&gt;
===Appearance===&lt;br /&gt;
J'khobi has long, jet-black hair with blond tips. His right eye is red while his left eye is violet and his cheeks are marked with simplistic tattoos. Growing up under the Sagolii sun have darkly bronzed the skin of the seekers from Khobi's nomadic Jackal tribe. He can usually be seen wearing a white or cyan hempen undershirt with a brightly colored lace bow tied around his neck. He also wears nature colored culottes, leather shin guards, shoes and finger-less gloves. His medic outfit is vastly different: Sterile while and black gloves, tight leggings, and boots are worn to not only aid in handling most wounds, but prevent infection and blood from touching his skin. His white robs is especially unique; adorned not only with fancy white, black, and gold design, but also aetherial crystals to assist J'khobi if his own stores of aether are lacking. His prized possession, which the seeker wears on his forehead, is a custom-made tri-lens aetherometer than will display approximate aetherflow of whomever or whatever he is viewing. One of the lens appears to be faulty, however, as J'khobi cannot figure out it's function. The medicinal ensemble was a gift to the seeker after he cured the grand-daughter of Doctor Boris Lazarius from a rare strain of aetherial poison. The equipment belonged to the highlander doctor's son, who had died in the Calamity of the Sixth Astral Era.&lt;br /&gt;
===Personality===&lt;br /&gt;
'' &amp;quot;Has not been the same, ehe, uh... no. No! Not since the deserrrt. Find, I do, solace in healing otherrrs. Mebbe, as I do this? Heal myself, I do.&amp;quot; '' -J'khobi Tia&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
J'khobi is a very jittery miqo'te. His ears and tail often twitch at some invisible irritation and he has difficulties making sentences without stuttering or cackling to himself. The wide-eyed seeker sometimes has no sense of personal space or decorum as he examines strangers and their equipment with genuine fascination, often accidentally blinding them with the light given off by his aetherial optic. He flinches when touched and sometimes will stare into space for minutes at a time. His anxiety aside, J'khobi usually never hesitates when his services are needed and makes himself available to be there for his friends. While generally cheerful, he conceals his worries and loneliness to all except friends who ask him. It is the miqo'te's belief that as he cures the wounds of strangers and the world, he will simultaneously cure himself of his innate sorrow and wavering sanity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Combat==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:J'khobi_Medic.jpg|right|J'khobi_Medic.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
===Specialization===&lt;br /&gt;
'''Arcanist''' : It was a rare thing indeed for a seeker to be born with such high aetherial quantity and the nuhn of his tribe, J'rhaskir, did not hesitate in making J'khobi a valuable asset. Training from a young age, J'khobi was given selective reading and writing education and, of course, instruction on how to manipulate aether with an arcanist grimoire. Specifically, J'khobi studied the affects of aetherial poison from a traveling scholar named Zuzogin Zukagin. The seeker can bestow aetherial infection and remove it using the ink in his tome as a conduit with aetherflow and deal unaspected damage with his &amp;quot;aetherial ribbons.&amp;quot; Aside from offensive magicks, Khobi also deals heavily in the curative nature, providing succor to what ails his comrades and protecting them with magic shielding. His specialty, of course, is the remedying of poison, aetherial or otherwise. He was given a lot of practice in his life as a Tia from the sagolii desert as his nuhn would overdose on drugs and poison alike and have Khobi heal him. J'rhaskir would repeat this often saying, aside from combat, this act made him feel more alive than ever.&lt;br /&gt;
==Tendencies==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Likes===&lt;br /&gt;
::* Meeting/Making New Friends.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Sharing a meal.&lt;br /&gt;
::* Knights.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Other===&lt;br /&gt;

::* His aether appears as ribbons or thread, depending on how potent it is.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Story==&lt;br /&gt;
{{spoiler}}&lt;br /&gt;
'' &amp;quot;Serve and protect, little star. Only you can do this. We will be in your heart and pray for you every night. When you look up at night, seek Menphina and know we are with you.&amp;quot; '' -Grandmother Adel&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It all began with the greed of the one they call J'rhaskir the Emberclaw. A Jackal from the Sagolii who fancied himself a God of war, he broke away to start his own tribe of hunters. In his blind ambition to be the most powerful sun-seeker alive, he sought any means for extra strength without recourse. This led him to be addicted to multiple powders and drugs, the best made by a clan of keeper miqo'te from the northern woods led by the mysterious Grandmother Adel. After trading too many resources for a combat stimulant, however, the Emberclaw's tribe began to suffer in a conflict against another seeker tribe that J'rhaskir had purposely agitated. He made a deal with Adel for supplies and powder. At the site of the exchange, instead of paying for the supplies with the agreed upon price, seeker warriors ambushed the keepers, killing them all and stealing the supplies, allowing J'rhaskir and his hunters to beat back his enemies in the Sagolii.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Outraged, Adel initiated a shadow-war in accordance with her own creed: ''&amp;quot;The Path of Knives.&amp;quot;'' Capable assassins would journey to the Sagolii, track down J'rhaskir, and kill him. While impulsive and reckless, the Emberclaw was no fool. Preparing for the keeper's counterattack, each assassin dispatched was taken out. J'rhaskir sent his own warriors to the woods to take out the entirety of the keeper clan, and bring him the head of Adel. One of these warriors was J'khobi, sired by J'rhaskir himself. The golden haired and red-eyed arcanist prodigy swore to take down the keeper matriarch with a small team of hunters, each gifted in the art of offensive magic. Even though half of the tribe wished to call a truce and stop the sudden attacks, J'rhaskir agreed, sending the boy into the Shroud to murder Adel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The seeker's ambuscade would have been devastating had J'khobi and his hunters been more patient. Instead of killing Adel, they killed her daughter Lahlih. Lahlih's mate Rihkk'a dove in to protect Adel and Lahlih, yet, seeing his love fall drove him into a rage and he tore apart the hunters before J'khobi put a dagger in the keeper's throat. J'khobi was outmatched by Adel, who bound the seeker,imprisoned him, and mourned the death of her daughter. Lahlih and Rihkk'a left behind many daughters and one son. All of them swore revenge, but none sought it greater than the young male. He met with Adel and offered his entire being to take down J'rhaskir... and a plan was hatched.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Khujato.jpg|center|Khujato.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
The greatest of magical glamours can cover a person who has a vast aether capacity. By what only could be divine coincidence, Lahlih's son was the same age and build of the seeker assassin J'khobi. With the help of the strongest mages in the Adel's clan, they would teach the keeper boy to become J'khobi, covering his body in a glamour to fool the seekers into believing ''he'' was the son of J'rhaskir. And when the time was right, the keeper boy would take his revenge and return. With the glamour stable and learning all he could of the real seeker, he set out to find the Emberclaw Tribe, telling J'rhaskir that he failed in killing the Matriarch Adel but had wounded her greatly. This satisfied the warrior of the sands, yet, he beat the glamoured seeker for his failure, regardless. Every sun he would serve the nuhn and his tribe without question. He was the rat of the tribe and though he was in pain, the keeper boy was patient. He would serve and protect his keeper family.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Something happened that the hidden keeper did not expect. Many of J'khobi's sisters as well as a few other hunters did not like the way J'rhaskir led them. The way he punished J'khobi and other hunters for their failure was frightening. No one was allowed to leave the tribe or trade without the nuhn's say. A plot soon developed by J'khobi's older brothers, J'dhoon and J'rhis, two Tias who journeyed farther than the nuhn allowed under the guise of &amp;quot;hunting missions.&amp;quot; They were, by all definition, adventurers in their own right and brought stories back to J'khobi, who, in turn showed them kindness and would cover for their long absence if J'rhaskir demanded their location. It was J'rhis who noticed a change in his once-impulsive young brother, yet... as the change was favorable, he did not question it. Together, the three planned to kill the nuhn while he slept...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dhoon and Rhis attacked first, cutting down the Emberclaw's hunters. Rhaskir erupted in a fury, brandishing his wicked axe at the seekers. Rhis pushed Khobi out of the way and was dealt a mortal wound. While J'rhaskir was distracted, J'khobi took the chance he was waiting for. With all of his aetherial power, the glamoured keeper struck J'rhaskir, blasting his body with violent shadow flares while Dhoon stabbed his nuhn through the chest. The Emberclaw hunters that remained loyal to their nuhn were outraged. J'khobi turned to see the rest of the tribe who looked on in shock. Fighting broke out and J'khobi and J'dhoon ran out of the tribe grounds and into the desert night. A terrible sandstorm summoned out of nowhere, and glamoured keeper boy was lost.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even the boy does not know how long he was in the desert alone. He had lost J'dhoon in the storm and all he could do was hunt for food and drink and try to not be burned by the sun or frozen by the night. He began to slowly lose himself in the heat and his mind clung to the story he had trained himself to believe for the sake of his revenge... and he believed he really was J'khobi... that he was not at fault for the death of his nuhn. He forgot his keeper origins and even his glamour began to destabilize. One of his eyes turned to it's natural violet color, and his tail and hair began to revert to black. He wandered for suns until he collapsed in front of the jewel of the Thanalan, Ul'dah. Since his arrival, the jittery seeker remembers, ''&amp;quot;Serve and protect.&amp;quot;'' And so he would... he would heal the wounded strangers he meets and protect his new friends, hoping to mend his broken mind. On he lives without memory of his keeper origin.. and his family still prays for his safe return.&lt;br /&gt;

==Profile==&lt;br /&gt;
===Appearance===&lt;br /&gt;
J'khobi has long, jet-black hair with blond tips. His right eye is red while his left eye is violet and his cheeks are marked with simplistic tattoos. Growing up under the Sagolii sun have darkly bronzed the skin of the seekers from Khobi's nomadic Jackal tribe. He can usually be seen wearing a white or cyan hempen undershirt with a brightly colored lace bow tied around his neck. He also wears nature colored culottes, leather shin guards, shoes and finger-less gloves. His medic outfit is vastly different: Sterile while and black gloves, tight leggings, and boots are worn to not only aid in handling most wounds, but prevent infection and blood from touching his skin. His white robs is especially unique; adorned not only with fancy white, black, and gold design, but also aetherial crystals to assist J'khobi if his own stores of aether are lacking. His prized possession, which the seeker wears on his forehead, is a custom-made tri-lens aetherometer than will display approximate aetherflow of whomever or whatever he is viewing. One of the lens appears to be faulty, however, as J'khobi cannot figure out it's function. The medicinal ensemble was a gift to the seeker after he cured the grand-daughter of Doctor Boris Lazarius from a rare strain of aetherial poison. The equipment belonged to the highlander doctor's son, who had died in the Calamity of the Sixth Astral Era.&lt;br /&gt;
===Personality===&lt;br /&gt;
'' &amp;quot;Has not been the same, ehe, uh... no. No! Not since the deserrrt. Find, I do, solace in healing otherrrs. Mebbe, as I do this? Heal myself, I do.&amp;quot; '' -J'khobi Tia&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
J'khobi is a very jittery miqo'te. His ears and tail often twitch at some invisible irritation and he has difficulties making sentences without stuttering or cackling to himself. The wide-eyed seeker sometimes has no sense of personal space or decorum as he examines strangers and their equipment with genuine fascination, often accidentally blinding them with the light given off by his aetherial optic. He flinches when touched and sometimes will stare into space for minutes at a time. His anxiety aside, J'khobi usually never hesitates when his services are needed and makes himself available to be there for his friends. While generally cheerful, he conceals his worries and loneliness to all except friends who ask him. It is the miqo'te's belief that as he cures the wounds of strangers and the world, he will simultaneously cure himself of his innate sorrow and wavering sanity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Combat==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:J'khobi_Medic.jpg|right|J'khobi_Medic.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
===Specialization===&lt;br /&gt;
'''Arcanist''' : It was a rare thing indeed for a seeker to be born with such high aetherial quantity and the nuhn of his tribe, J'rhaskir, did not hesitate in making J'khobi a valuable asset. Training from a young age, J'khobi was given selective reading and writing education and, of course, instruction on how to manipulate aether with an arcanist grimoire. Specifically, J'khobi studied the affects of aetherial poison from a traveling scholar named Zuzogin Zukagin. The seeker can bestow aetherial infection and remove it using the ink in his tome as a conduit with aetherflow and deal unaspected damage with his &amp;quot;aetherial ribbons.&amp;quot; Aside from offensive magicks, Khobi also deals heavily in the curative nature, providing succor to what ails his comrades and protecting them with magic shielding. His specialty, of course, is the remedying of poison, aetherial or otherwise. He was given a lot of practice in his life as a Tia from the sagolii desert as his nuhn would overdose on drugs and poison alike and have Khobi heal him. J'rhaskir would repeat this often saying, aside from combat, this act made him feel more alive than ever.&lt;br /&gt;

==Story==&lt;br /&gt;
{{spoiler}}&lt;br /&gt;
'' &amp;quot;Serve and protect, little star. Only you can do this. We will be in your heart and pray for you every night. When you look up at night, seek Menphina and know we are with you.&amp;quot; '' -Grandmother Adel&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It all began with the greed of the one they call J'rhaskir the Emberclaw. A Jackal from the Sagolii who fancied himself a God of war, he broke away to start his own tribe of hunters. In his blind ambition to be the most powerful sun-seeker alive, he sought any means for extra strength without recourse. This led him to be addicted to multiple powders and drugs, the best made by a clan of keeper miqo'te from the northern woods led by the mysterious Grandmother Adel. After trading too many resources for a combat stimulant, however, the Emberclaw's tribe began to suffer in a conflict against another seeker tribe that J'rhaskir had purposely agitated. He made a deal with Adel for supplies and powder. At the site of the exchange, instead of paying for the supplies with the agreed upon price, seeker warriors ambushed the keepers, killing them all and stealing the supplies, allowing J'rhaskir and his hunters to beat back his enemies in the Sagolii.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Outraged, Adel initiated a shadow-war in accordance with her own creed: ''&amp;quot;The Path of Knives.&amp;quot;'' Capable assassins would journey to the Sagolii, track down J'rhaskir, and kill him. While impulsive and reckless, the Emberclaw was no fool. Preparing for the keeper's counterattack, each assassin dispatched was taken out. J'rhaskir sent his own warriors to the woods to take out the entirety of the keeper clan, and bring him the head of Adel. One of these warriors was J'khobi, sired by J'rhaskir himself. The golden haired and red-eyed arcanist prodigy swore to take down the keeper matriarch with a small team of hunters, each gifted in the art of offensive magic. Even though half of the tribe wished to call a truce and stop the sudden attacks, J'rhaskir agreed, sending the boy into the Shroud to murder Adel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The seeker's ambuscade would have been devastating had J'khobi and his hunters been more patient. Instead of killing Adel, they killed her daughter Lahlih. Lahlih's mate Rihkk'a dove in to protect Adel and Lahlih, yet, seeing his love fall drove him into a rage and he tore apart the hunters before J'khobi put a dagger in the keeper's throat. J'khobi was outmatched by Adel, who bound the seeker,imprisoned him, and mourned the death of her daughter. Lahlih and Rihkk'a left behind many daughters and one son. All of them swore revenge, but none sought it greater than the young male. He met with Adel and offered his entire being to take down J'rhaskir... and a plan was hatched.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Khujato.jpg|center|Khujato.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
The greatest of magical glamours can cover a person who has a vast aether capacity. By what only could be divine coincidence, Lahlih's son was the same age and build of the seeker assassin J'khobi. With the help of the strongest mages in the Adel's clan, they would teach the keeper boy to become J'khobi, covering his body in a glamour to fool the seekers into believing ''he'' was the son of J'rhaskir. And when the time was right, the keeper boy would take his revenge and return. With the glamour stable and learning all he could of the real seeker, he set out to find the Emberclaw Tribe, telling J'rhaskir that he failed in killing the Matriarch Adel but had wounded her greatly. This satisfied the warrior of the sands, yet, he beat the glamoured seeker for his failure, regardless. Every sun he would serve the nuhn and his tribe without question. He was the rat of the tribe and though he was in pain, the keeper boy was patient. He would serve and protect his keeper family.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Something happened that the hidden keeper did not expect. Many of J'khobi's sisters as well as a few other hunters did not like the way J'rhaskir led them. The way he punished J'khobi and other hunters for their failure was frightening. No one was allowed to leave the tribe or trade without the nuhn's say. A plot soon developed by J'khobi's older brothers, J'dhoon and J'rhis, two Tias who journeyed farther than the nuhn allowed under the guise of &amp;quot;hunting missions.&amp;quot; They were, by all definition, adventurers in their own right and brought stories back to J'khobi, who, in turn showed them kindness and would cover for their long absence if J'rhaskir demanded their location. It was J'rhis who noticed a change in his once-impulsive young brother, yet... as the change was favorable, he did not question it. Together, the three planned to kill the nuhn while he slept...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dhoon and Rhis attacked first, cutting down the Emberclaw's hunters. Rhaskir erupted in a fury, brandishing his wicked axe at the seekers. Rhis pushed Khobi out of the way and was dealt a mortal wound. While J'rhaskir was distracted, J'khobi took the chance he was waiting for. With all of his aetherial power, the glamoured keeper struck J'rhaskir, blasting his body with violent shadow flares while Dhoon stabbed his nuhn through the chest. The Emberclaw hunters that remained loyal to their nuhn were outraged. J'khobi turned to see the rest of the tribe who looked on in shock. Fighting broke out and J'khobi and J'dhoon ran out of the tribe grounds and into the desert night. A terrible sandstorm summoned out of nowhere, and glamoured keeper boy was lost.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even the boy does not know how long he was in the desert alone. He had lost J'dhoon in the storm and all he could do was hunt for food and drink and try to not be burned by the sun or frozen by the night. He began to slowly lose himself in the heat and his mind clung to the story he had trained himself to believe for the sake of his revenge... and he believed he really was J'khobi... that he was not at fault for the death of his nuhn. He forgot his keeper origins and even his glamour began to destabilize. One of his eyes turned to it's natural violet color, and his tail and hair began to revert to black. He wandered for suns until he collapsed in front of the jewel of the Thanalan, Ul'dah. Since his arrival, the jittery seeker remembers, ''&amp;quot;Serve and protect.&amp;quot;'' And so he would... he would heal the wounded strangers he meets and protect his new friends, hoping to mend his broken mind. On he lives without memory of his keeper origin.. and his family still prays for his safe return.&lt;br /&gt;

==Profile==&lt;br /&gt;
===Appearance===&lt;br /&gt;
J'khobi has long, jet-black hair with blond tips. His right eye is red while his left eye is violet and his cheeks are marked with simplistic tattoos. Growing up under the Sagolii sun have darkly bronzed the skin of the seekers from Khobi's nomadic Jackal tribe. He can usually be seen wearing a white or cyan hempen undershirt with a brightly colored lace bow tied around his neck. He also wears nature colored culottes, leather shin guards, shoes and finger-less gloves. His medic outfit is vastly different: Sterile while and black gloves, tight leggings, and boots are worn to not only aid in handling most wounds, but prevent infection and blood from touching his skin. His white robs is especially unique; adorned not only with fancy white, black, and gold design, but also aetherial crystals to assist J'khobi if his own stores of aether are lacking. His prized possession, which the seeker wears on his forehead, is a custom-made tri-lens aetherometer than will display approximate aetherflow of whomever or whatever he is viewing. One of the lens appears to be faulty, however, as J'khobi cannot figure out it's function. The medicinal ensemble was a gift to the seeker after he cured the grand-daughter of Doctor Boris Lazarius from a rare strain of aetherial poison. The equipment belonged to the highlander doctor's son, who had died in the Calamity of the Sixth Astral Era.&lt;br /&gt;

'' &amp;quot;Has not been the same, ehe, uh... no. No! Not since the deserrrt. Find, I do, solace in healing otherrrs. Mebbe, as I do this? Heal myself, I do.&amp;quot; '' -J'khobi Tia&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
J'khobi is a very jittery miqo'te. His ears and tail often twitch at some invisible irritation and he has difficulties making sentences without stuttering or cackling to himself. The wide-eyed seeker sometimes has no sense of personal space or decorum as he examines strangers and their equipment with genuine fascination, often accidentally blinding them with the light given off by his aetherial optic. He flinches when touched and sometimes will stare into space for minutes at a time. His anxiety aside, J'khobi usually never hesitates when his services are needed and makes himself available to be there for his friends. While generally cheerful, he conceals his worries and loneliness to all except friends who ask him. It is the miqo'te's belief that as he cures the wounds of strangers and the world, he will simultaneously cure himself of his innate sorrow and wavering sanity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Combat==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:J'khobi_Medic.jpg|right|J'khobi_Medic.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
===Specialization===&lt;br /&gt;
'''Arcanist''' : It was a rare thing indeed for a seeker to be born with such high aetherial quantity and the nuhn of his tribe, J'rhaskir, did not hesitate in making J'khobi a valuable asset. Training from a young age, J'khobi was given selective reading and writing education and, of course, instruction on how to manipulate aether with an arcanist grimoire. Specifically, J'khobi studied the affects of aetherial poison from a traveling scholar named Zuzogin Zukagin. The seeker can bestow aetherial infection and remove it using the ink in his tome as a conduit with aetherflow and deal unaspected damage with his &amp;quot;aetherial ribbons.&amp;quot; Aside from offensive magicks, Khobi also deals heavily in the curative nature, providing succor to what ails his comrades and protecting them with magic shielding. His specialty, of course, is the remedying of poison, aetherial or otherwise. He was given a lot of practice in his life as a Tia from the sagolii desert as his nuhn would overdose on drugs and poison alike and have Khobi heal him. J'rhaskir would repeat this often saying, aside from combat, this act made him feel more alive than ever.&lt;br /&gt;

==Story==&lt;br /&gt;
{{spoiler}}&lt;br /&gt;
'' &amp;quot;Serve and protect, little star. Only you can do this. We will be in your heart and pray for you every night. When you look up at night, seek Menphina and know we are with you.&amp;quot; '' -Grandmother Adel&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It all began with the greed of the one they call J'rhaskir the Emberclaw. A Jackal from the Sagolii who fancied himself a God of war, he broke away to start his own tribe of hunters. In his blind ambition to be the most powerful sun-seeker alive, he sought any means for extra strength without recourse. This led him to be addicted to multiple powders and drugs, the best made by a clan of keeper miqo'te from the northern woods led by the mysterious Grandmother Adel. After trading too many resources for a combat stimulant, however, the Emberclaw's tribe began to suffer in a conflict against another seeker tribe that J'rhaskir had purposely agitated. He made a deal with Adel for supplies and powder. At the site of the exchange, instead of paying for the supplies with the agreed upon price, seeker warriors ambushed the keepers, killing them all and stealing the supplies, allowing J'rhaskir and his hunters to beat back his enemies in the Sagolii.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Outraged, Adel initiated a shadow-war in accordance with her own creed: ''&amp;quot;The Path of Knives.&amp;quot;'' Capable assassins would journey to the Sagolii, track down J'rhaskir, and kill him. While impulsive and reckless, the Emberclaw was no fool. Preparing for the keeper's counterattack, each assassin dispatched was taken out. J'rhaskir sent his own warriors to the woods to take out the entirety of the keeper clan, and bring him the head of Adel. One of these warriors was J'khobi, sired by J'rhaskir himself. The golden haired and red-eyed arcanist prodigy swore to take down the keeper matriarch with a small team of hunters, each gifted in the art of offensive magic. Even though half of the tribe wished to call a truce and stop the sudden attacks, J'rhaskir agreed, sending the boy into the Shroud to murder Adel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The seeker's ambuscade would have been devastating had J'khobi and his hunters been more patient. Instead of killing Adel, they killed her daughter Lahlih. Lahlih's mate Rihkk'a dove in to protect Adel and Lahlih, yet, seeing his love fall drove him into a rage and he tore apart the hunters before J'khobi put a dagger in the keeper's throat. J'khobi was outmatched by Adel, who bound the seeker,imprisoned him, and mourned the death of her daughter. Lahlih and Rihkk'a left behind many daughters and one son. All of them swore revenge, but none sought it greater than the young male. He met with Adel and offered his entire being to take down J'rhaskir... and a plan was hatched.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Khujato.jpg|center|Khujato.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
The greatest of magical glamours can cover a person who has a vast aether capacity. By what only could be divine coincidence, Lahlih's son was the same age and build of the seeker assassin J'khobi. With the help of the strongest mages in the Adel's clan, they would teach the keeper boy to become J'khobi, covering his body in a glamour to fool the seekers into believing ''he'' was the son of J'rhaskir. And when the time was right, the keeper boy would take his revenge and return. With the glamour stable and learning all he could of the real seeker, he set out to find the Emberclaw Tribe, telling J'rhaskir that he failed in killing the Matriarch Adel but had wounded her greatly. This satisfied the warrior of the sands, yet, he beat the glamoured seeker for his failure, regardless. Every sun he would serve the nuhn and his tribe without question. He was the rat of the tribe and though he was in pain, the keeper boy was patient. He would serve and protect his keeper family.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Something happened that the hidden keeper did not expect. Many of J'khobi's sisters as well as a few other hunters did not like the way J'rhaskir led them. The way he punished J'khobi and other hunters for their failure was frightening. No one was allowed to leave the tribe or trade without the nuhn's say. A plot soon developed by J'khobi's older brothers, J'dhoon and J'rhis, two Tias who journeyed farther than the nuhn allowed under the guise of &amp;quot;hunting missions.&amp;quot; They were, by all definition, adventurers in their own right and brought stories back to J'khobi, who, in turn showed them kindness and would cover for their long absence if J'rhaskir demanded their location. It was J'rhis who noticed a change in his once-impulsive young brother, yet... as the change was favorable, he did not question it. Together, the three planned to kill the nuhn while he slept...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dhoon and Rhis attacked first, cutting down the Emberclaw's hunters. Rhaskir erupted in a fury, brandishing his wicked axe at the seekers. Rhis pushed Khobi out of the way and was dealt a mortal wound. While J'rhaskir was distracted, J'khobi took the chance he was waiting for. With all of his aetherial power, the glamoured keeper struck J'rhaskir, blasting his body with violent shadow flares while Dhoon stabbed his nuhn through the chest. The Emberclaw hunters that remained loyal to their nuhn were outraged. J'khobi turned to see the rest of the tribe who looked on in shock. Fighting broke out and J'khobi and J'dhoon ran out of the tribe grounds and into the desert night. A terrible sandstorm summoned out of nowhere, and glamoured keeper boy was lost.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even the boy does not know how long he was in the desert alone. He had lost J'dhoon in the storm and all he could do was hunt for food and drink and try to not be burned by the sun or frozen by the night. He began to slowly lose himself in the heat and his mind clung to the story he had trained himself to believe for the sake of his revenge... and he believed he really was J'khobi... that he was not at fault for the death of his nuhn. He forgot his keeper origins and even his glamour began to destabilize. One of his eyes turned to it's natural violet color, and his tail and hair began to revert to black. He wandered for suns until he collapsed in front of the jewel of the Thanalan, Ul'dah. Since his arrival, the jittery seeker remembers, ''&amp;quot;Serve and protect.&amp;quot;'' And so he would... he would heal the wounded strangers he meets and protect his new friends, hoping to mend his broken mind. On he lives without memory of his keeper origin.. and his family still prays for his safe return.&lt;br /&gt;

Growing up under the Sagolii sun have darkly bronzed the skin of the seekers from Khobi's nomadic Jackal tribe.

His medic outfit is vastly different: Sterile while and black gloves, tight leggings, and boots are worn to not only aid in handling most wounds, but prevent infection and blood from touching his skin. His white robs is especially unique; adorned not only with fancy white, black, and gold design, but also aetherial crystals to assist J'khobi if his own stores of aether are lacking. His prized possession, which the seeker wears on his forehead, is a custom-made tri-lens aetherometer than will display approximate aetherflow of whomever or whatever he is viewing. One of the lens appears to be faulty, however, as J'khobi cannot figure out it's function. The medicinal ensemble was a gift to the seeker after he cured the grand-daughter of Doctor Boris Lazarius from a rare strain of aetherial poison.

==Story==&lt;br /&gt;
{{spoiler}}&lt;br /&gt;
'' &amp;quot;Serve and protect, little star. Only you can do this. We will be in your heart and pray for you every night. When you look up at night, seek Menphina and know we are with you.&amp;quot; '' -Grandmother Adel&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It all began with the greed of the one they call J'rhaskir the Emberclaw. A Jackal from the Sagolii who fancied himself a God of war, he broke away to start his own tribe of hunters. In his blind ambition to be the most powerful sun-seeker alive, he sought any means for extra strength without recourse. This led him to be addicted to multiple powders and drugs, the best made by a clan of keeper miqo'te from the northern woods led by the mysterious Grandmother Adel. After trading too many resources for a combat stimulant, however, the Emberclaw's tribe began to suffer in a conflict against another seeker tribe that J'rhaskir had purposely agitated. He made a deal with Adel for supplies and powder. At the site of the exchange, instead of paying for the supplies with the agreed upon price, seeker warriors ambushed the keepers, killing them all and stealing the supplies, allowing J'rhaskir and his hunters to beat back his enemies in the Sagolii.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Outraged, Adel initiated a shadow-war in accordance with her own creed: ''&amp;quot;The Path of Knives.&amp;quot;'' Capable assassins would journey to the Sagolii, track down J'rhaskir, and kill him. While impulsive and reckless, the Emberclaw was no fool. Preparing for the keeper's counterattack, each assassin dispatched was taken out. J'rhaskir sent his own warriors to the woods to take out the entirety of the keeper clan, and bring him the head of Adel. One of these warriors was J'khobi, sired by J'rhaskir himself. The golden haired and red-eyed arcanist prodigy swore to take down the keeper matriarch with a small team of hunters, each gifted in the art of offensive magic. Even though half of the tribe wished to call a truce and stop the sudden attacks, J'rhaskir agreed, sending the boy into the Shroud to murder Adel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The seeker's ambuscade would have been devastating had J'khobi and his hunters been more patient. Instead of killing Adel, they killed her daughter Lahlih. Lahlih's mate Rihkk'a dove in to protect Adel and Lahlih, yet, seeing his love fall drove him into a rage and he tore apart the hunters before J'khobi put a dagger in the keeper's throat. J'khobi was outmatched by Adel, who bound the seeker,imprisoned him, and mourned the death of her daughter. Lahlih and Rihkk'a left behind many daughters and one son. All of them swore revenge, but none sought it greater than the young male. He met with Adel and offered his entire being to take down J'rhaskir... and a plan was hatched.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Khujato.jpg|center|Khujato.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
The greatest of magical glamours can cover a person who has a vast aether capacity. By what only could be divine coincidence, Lahlih's son was the same age and build of the seeker assassin J'khobi. With the help of the strongest mages in the Adel's clan, they would teach the keeper boy to become J'khobi, covering his body in a glamour to fool the seekers into believing ''he'' was the son of J'rhaskir. And when the time was right, the keeper boy would take his revenge and return. With the glamour stable and learning all he could of the real seeker, he set out to find the Emberclaw Tribe, telling J'rhaskir that he failed in killing the Matriarch Adel but had wounded her greatly. This satisfied the warrior of the sands, yet, he beat the glamoured seeker for his failure, regardless. Every sun he would serve the nuhn and his tribe without question. He was the rat of the tribe and though he was in pain, the keeper boy was patient. He would serve and protect his keeper family.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Something happened that the hidden keeper did not expect. Many of J'khobi's sisters as well as a few other hunters did not like the way J'rhaskir led them. The way he punished J'khobi and other hunters for their failure was frightening. No one was allowed to leave the tribe or trade without the nuhn's say. A plot soon developed by J'khobi's older brothers, J'dhoon and J'rhis, two Tias who journeyed farther than the nuhn allowed under the guise of &amp;quot;hunting missions.&amp;quot; They were, by all definition, adventurers in their own right and brought stories back to J'khobi, who, in turn showed them kindness and would cover for their long absence if J'rhaskir demanded their location. It was J'rhis who noticed a change in his once-impulsive young brother, yet... as the change was favorable, he did not question it. Together, the three planned to kill the nuhn while he slept...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dhoon and Rhis attacked first, cutting down the Emberclaw's hunters. Rhaskir erupted in a fury, brandishing his wicked axe at the seekers. Rhis pushed Khobi out of the way and was dealt a mortal wound. While J'rhaskir was distracted, J'khobi took the chance he was waiting for. With all of his aetherial power, the glamoured keeper struck J'rhaskir, blasting his body with violent shadow flares while Dhoon stabbed his nuhn through the chest. The Emberclaw hunters that remained loyal to their nuhn were outraged. J'khobi turned to see the rest of the tribe who looked on in shock. Fighting broke out and J'khobi and J'dhoon ran out of the tribe grounds and into the desert night. A terrible sandstorm summoned out of nowhere, and glamoured keeper boy was lost.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even the boy does not know how long he was in the desert alone. He had lost J'dhoon in the storm and all he could do was hunt for food and drink and try to not be burned by the sun or frozen by the night. He began to slowly lose himself in the heat and his mind clung to the story he had trained himself to believe for the sake of his revenge... and he believed he really was J'khobi... that he was not at fault for the death of his nuhn. He forgot his keeper origins and even his glamour began to destabilize. One of his eyes turned to it's natural violet color, and his tail and hair began to revert to black. He wandered for suns until he collapsed in front of the jewel of the Thanalan, Ul'dah. Since his arrival, the jittery seeker remembers, ''&amp;quot;Serve and protect.&amp;quot;'' And so he would... he would heal the wounded strangers he meets and protect his new friends, hoping to mend his broken mind. On he lives without memory of his keeper origin.. and his family still prays for his safe return.&lt;br /&gt;

==Profile==&lt;br /&gt;
===Appearance===&lt;br /&gt;
J'khobi has long, jet-black hair with blond tips. His right eye is red while his left eye is violet and his cheeks are marked with simplistic tattoos. Growing up under the Sagolii sun have darkly bronzed the skin of the seekers from Khobi's nomadic Jackal tribe. He can usually be seen wearing a white or cyan hempen undershirt with a brightly colored lace bow tied around his neck. He also wears nature colored culottes, leather shin guards, shoes and finger-less gloves. His medic outfit is vastly different: Sterile while and black gloves, tight leggings, and boots are worn to not only aid in handling most wounds, but prevent infection and blood from touching his skin. His white robs is especially unique; adorned not only with fancy white, black, and gold design, but also aetherial crystals to assist J'khobi if his own stores of aether are lacking. His prized possession, which the seeker wears on his forehead, is a custom-made tri-lens aetherometer than will display approximate aetherflow of whomever or whatever he is viewing. One of the lens appears to be faulty, however, as J'khobi cannot figure out it's function. The medicinal ensemble was a gift to the seeker after he cured the grand-daughter of Doctor Boris Lazarius from a rare strain of aetherial poison. The equipment belonged to the highlander doctor's son, who had died in the Calamity of the Sixth Astral Era.&lt;br /&gt;
===Personality===&lt;br /&gt;
'' &amp;quot;Has not been the same, ehe, uh... no. No! Not since the deserrrt. Find, I do, solace in healing otherrrs. Mebbe, as I do this? Heal myself, I do.&amp;quot; '' -J'khobi Tia&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
J'khobi is a very jittery miqo'te. His ears and tail often twitch at some invisible irritation and he has difficulties making sentences without stuttering or cackling to himself. The wide-eyed seeker sometimes has no sense of personal space or decorum as he examines strangers and their equipment with genuine fascination, often accidentally blinding them with the light given off by his aetherial optic. He flinches when touched and sometimes will stare into space for minutes at a time. His anxiety aside, J'khobi usually never hesitates when his services are needed and makes himself available to be there for his friends. While generally cheerful, he conceals his worries and loneliness to all except friends who ask him. It is the miqo'te's belief that as he cures the wounds of strangers and the world, he will simultaneously cure himself of his innate sorrow and wavering sanity.&lt;br /&gt;

'''Arcanist''' : It was a rare thing indeed for a seeker to be born with such high aetherial quantity and the nuhn of his tribe, J'rhaskir, did not hesitate in making J'khobi a valuable asset. Training from a young age, J'khobi was given selective reading and writing education and, of course, instruction on how to manipulate aether with an arcanist grimoire. Specifically, J'khobi studied the affects of aetherial poison from a traveling scholar named Zuzogin Zukagin. The seeker can bestow aetherial infection and remove it using the ink in his tome as a conduit with aetherflow and deal unaspected damage with his &amp;quot;aetherial ribbons.&amp;quot; Aside from offensive magicks, Khobi also deals heavily in the curative nature, providing succor to what ails his comrades and protecting them with magic shielding. His specialty, of course, is the remedying of poison, aetherial or otherwise. He was given a lot of practice in his life as a Tia from the sagolii desert as his nuhn would overdose on drugs and poison alike and have Khobi heal him. J'rhaskir would repeat this often saying, aside from combat, this act made him feel more alive than ever.&lt;br /&gt;

It all began with the greed of the one they call J'rhaskir the Emberclaw. A Jackal from the Sagolii who fancied himself a God of war, he broke away to start his own tribe of hunters. In his blind ambition to be the most powerful sun-seeker alive, he sought any means for extra strength without recourse. This led him to be addicted to multiple powders and drugs, the best made by a clan of keeper miqo'te from the northern woods led by the mysterious Grandmother Adel. After trading too many resources for a combat stimulant, however, the Emberclaw's tribe began to suffer in a conflict against another seeker tribe that J'rhaskir had purposely agitated.

A plot soon developed by J'khobi's older brothers, J'dhoon and J'rhis, two Tias who journeyed farther than the nuhn allowed under the guise of &amp;quot;hunting missions.&amp;quot; They were, by all definition, adventurers in their own right and brought stories back to J'khobi, who, in turn showed them kindness and would cover for their long absence if J'rhaskir demanded their location. It was J'rhis who noticed a change in his once-impulsive young brother, yet... as the change was favorable, he did not question it. Together, the three planned to kill the nuhn while he slept...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dhoon and Rhis attacked first, cutting down the Emberclaw's hunters. Rhaskir erupted in a fury, brandishing his wicked axe at the seekers. Rhis pushed Khobi out of the way and was dealt a mortal wound. While J'rhaskir was distracted, J'khobi took the chance he was waiting for. With all of his aetherial power, the glamoured keeper struck J'rhaskir, blasting his body with violent shadow flares while Dhoon stabbed his nuhn through the chest. The Emberclaw hunters that remained loyal to their nuhn were outraged. J'khobi turned to see the rest of the tribe who looked on in shock. Fighting broke out and J'khobi and J'dhoon ran out of the tribe grounds and into the desert night. A terrible sandstorm summoned out of nowhere, and glamoured keeper boy was lost.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even the boy does not know how long he was in the desert alone. He had lost J'dhoon in the storm and all he could do was hunt for food and drink and try to not be burned by the sun or frozen by the night. He began to slowly lose himself in the heat and his mind clung to the story he had trianed himself to believe for the sake of his revenge... and he believed he really was J'khobi... that he was not at fault for the death of his nuhn. He forgot his keeper origins and even his glamour began to destabilize. One of his eyes turned to it's natural violet color, and his tail and hair began to revert to black. He wandered for suns until he collapsed in front of the jewel of the Thanalan, Ul'dah. Since his arrival, the jittery seeker remembers, ''&amp;quot;Serve and protect.&amp;quot;'' And so he would... he would heal the wounded strangers he meets and protect his new friends, hoping to mend his broken mind. On he lives without memory of his keeper origin.. and his family still prays for his safe return.&lt;br /&gt;

==Profile==&lt;br /&gt;
===Appearance===&lt;br /&gt;
J'khobi has long, jet-black hair with blond tips. His right eye is red while his left eye is violet and his cheeks are marked with simplistic tattoos. Growing up under the Sagolii sun have darkly bronzed the skin of the seekers from Khobi's nomadic Jackal tribe. He can usually be seen wearing a white or cyan hempen undershirt with a brightly colored lace bow tied around his neck. He also wears nature colored culottes, leather shin guards, shoes and finger-less gloves. His medic outfit is vastly different: Sterile while and black gloves, tight leggings, and boots are worn to not only aid in handling most wounds, but prevent infection and blood from touching his skin. His white robs is especially unique; adorned not only with fancy white, black, and gold design, but also aetherial crystals to assist J'khobi if his own stores of aether are lacking. His prized possession, which the seeker wears on his forehead, is a custom-made tri-lens aetherometer than will display approximate aetherflow of whomever or whatever he is viewing. One of the lens appears to be faulty, however, as J'khobi cannot figure out it's function. The medicinal ensemble was a gift to the seeker after he cured the grand-daughter of Doctor Boris Lazarius from a rare strain of aetherial poison. The equipment belonged to the highlander doctor's son, who had died in the Calamity of the Sixth Astral Era.&lt;br /&gt;
===Personality===&lt;br /&gt;
'' &amp;quot;Has not been the same, ehe, uh... no. No! Not since the deserrrt. Find, I do, solace in healing otherrrs. Mebbe, as I do this? Heal myself, I do.&amp;quot; '' -J'khobi Tia&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
J'khobi is a very jittery miqo'te. His ears and tail often twitch at some invisible irritation and he has difficulties making sentences without stuttering or cackling to himself. The wide-eyed seeker sometimes has no sense of personal space or decorum as he examines strangers and their equipment with genuine fascination, often accidentally blinding them with the light given off by his aetherial optic. He flinches when touched and sometimes will stare into space for minutes at a time. His anxiety aside, J'khobi usually never hesitates when his services are needed and makes himself available to be there for his friends. While generally cheerful, he conceals his worries and loneliness to all except friends who ask him. It is the miqo'te's belief that as he cures the wounds of strangers and the world, he will simultaneously cure himself of his innate sorrow and wavering sanity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Combat==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:J'khobi_Medic.jpg|right|J'khobi_Medic.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
===Specialization===&lt;br /&gt;
'''Arcanist''' : It was a rare thing indeed for a seeker to be born with such high aetherial quantity and the nuhn of his tribe, J'rhaskir, did not hesitate in making J'khobi a valuable asset. Training from a young age, J'khobi was given selective reading and writing education and, of course, instruction on how to manipulate aether with an arcanist grimoire. Specifically, J'khobi studied the affects of aetherial poison from a traveling scholar named Zuzogin Zukagin. The seeker can bestow aetherial infection and remove it using the ink in his tome as a conduit with aetherflow and deal unaspected damage with his &amp;quot;aetherial ribbons.&amp;quot; Aside from offensive magicks, Khobi also deals heavily in the curative nature, providing succor to what ails his comrades and protecting them with magic shielding. His specialty, of course, is the remedying of poison, aetherial or otherwise. He was given a lot of practice in his life as a Tia from the sagolii desert as his nuhn would overdose on drugs and poison alike and have Khobi heal him. J'rhaskir would repeat this often saying, aside from combat, this act made him feel more alive than ever.&lt;br /&gt;

==Story==&lt;br /&gt;
{{spoiler}}&lt;br /&gt;
'' &amp;quot;Serve and protect, little star. Only you can do this. We will be in your heart and pray for you every night. When you look up at night, seek Menphina and know we are with you.&amp;quot; '' -Grandmother Adel&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It all began with the greed of the one they call J'rhaskir the Emberclaw. A Jackal from the Sagolii who fancied himself a God of war, he broke away to start his own tribe of hunters. In his blind ambition to be the most powerful sun-seeker alive, he sought any means for extra strength without recourse. This led him to be addicted to multiple powders and drugs, the best made by a clan of keeper miqo'te from the northern woods led by the mysterious Grandmother Adel. After trading too many resources for a combat stimulant, however, the Emberclaw's tribe began to suffer in a conflict against another seeker tribe that J'rhaskir had purposely agitated. He made a deal with Adel for supplies and powder. At the site of the exchange, instead of paying for the supplies with the agreed upon price, seeker warriors ambushed the keepers, killing them all and stealing the supplies, allowing J'rhaskir and his hunters to beat back his enemies in the Sagolii.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Outraged, Adel initiated a shadow-war in accordance with her own creed: ''&amp;quot;The Path of Knives.&amp;quot;'' Capable assassins would journey to the Sagolii, track down J'rhaskir, and kill him. While impulsive and reckless, the Emberclaw was no fool. Preparing for the keeper's counterattack, each assassin dispatched was taken out. J'rhaskir sent his own warriors to the woods to take out the entirety of the keeper clan, and bring him the head of Adel. One of these warriors was J'khobi, sired by J'rhaskir himself. The golden haired and red-eyed arcanist prodigy swore to take down the keeper matriarch with a small team of hunters, each gifted in the art of offensive magic. Even though half of the tribe wished to call a truce and stop the sudden attacks, J'rhaskir agreed, sending the boy into the Shroud to murder Adel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The seeker's ambuscade would have been devastating had J'khobi and his hunters been more patient. Instead of killing Adel, they killed her daughter Lahlih. Lahlih's mate Rihkk'a dove in to protect Adel and Lahlih, yet, seeing his love fall drove him into a rage and he tore apart the hunters before J'khobi put a dagger in the keeper's throat. J'khobi was outmatched by Adel, who bound the seeker and imprisoned him and mourned the death of her daughter. Lahlih and Rihkk'a left behind many daughters and one son. All of them swore revenge, but none sought it greater than the young male. He met with Adel and offered his entire being to take down J'rhaskir... and a plan was hatched.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Khujato.jpg|center|Khujato.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
The greatest of magical glamours can cover a person who has a vast aether capacity. By what only could be divine coincidence, Lahlih's son was the same age and build of the seeker assassin J'khobi. With the help of the strongest mages in the Adel's clan, they would teach the keeper boy to become J'khobi, covering his body in a glamour to fool the seekers into believing ''he'' was the son of J'rhaskir. And when the time was right, the keeper boy would take his revenge and return. With the glamour stable and learning all he could of the real seeker, he set out to find the Emberclaw Tribe, telling J'rhaskir that he failed in killing the Matriarch Adel but had wounded her greatly. This satisfied the warrior of the sands, yet, he beat the glamoured seeker for his failure, regardless. Every sun he would serve the nuhn and his tribe without question. He was the rat of the tribe and though he was in pain, the keeper boy was patient. He would serve and protect his keeper family.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Something happened that the hidden keeper did not expect. Many of J'khobi's sisters as well as a few other hunters did not like the way J'rhaskir led them. The way he punished J'khobi and other hunters for their failure was frightening. No one was allowed to leave the tribe or trade without the nuhn's say. A plot soon developed by J'khobi's older brothers, J'dhoon and J'rhis, two Tias who journeyed farther than the nuhn allowed under the guise of &amp;quot;hunting missions.&amp;quot; They were, by all definition, adventurers in their own right and brought stories back to J'khobi, who, in turn showed them kindness and would cover for their long absence if J'rhaskir demanded their location. It was J'rhis who noticed a change in his once-impulsive young brother, yet... as the change was favorable, he did not question it. Together, the three planned to kill the nuhn while he slept...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dhoon and Rhis attacked first, cutting down the Emberclaw's hunters. Rhaskir erupted in a fury, brandishing his wicked axe at the seekers. Rhis pushed Khobi out of the way and was dealt a mortal wound. While J'rhaskir was distracted, J'khobi took the chance he was waiting for. With all of his aetherial power, the glamoured keeper struck J'rhaskir, blasting his body with violent shadow flares while Dhoon stabbed his nuhn through the chest. The Emberclaw hunters that remained loyal to their nuhn were outraged. J'khobi turned to see the rest of the tribe who looked on in shock. Fighting broke out and J'khobi and J'dhoon ran out of the tribe grounds and into the desert night. A terrible sandstorm summoned out of nowhere, and glamoured keeper boy was lost.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even the boy does not know how long he was in the desert alone. He had lost J'dhoon in the storm and all he could do was hunt for food and drink and try to not be burned by the sun or frozen by the night. He began to slowly lose himself in the heat and his mind clung to the story he had trianed himself to believe for the sake of his revenge... and he believed he really was J'khobi... that he was not at fault for the death of his nuhn. He forgot his keeper origins and even his glamour began to destabilize. One of his eyes turned to it's natural violet color, and his tail and hair began to revert to black. He wandered for suns until he collapsed in front of the jewel of the Thanalan, Ul'dah. Since his arrival, the jittery seeker remembers, ''&amp;quot;Serve and protect.&amp;quot;'' And so he would... he would heal the wounded strangers he meets and protect his new friends, hoping to mend his broken mind. On he lives without memory of his keeper origin.. and his family still prays for his safe return.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Profile==&lt;br /&gt;
===Appearance===&lt;br /&gt;
J'khobi has long, jet-black hair with blond tips. His right eye is red while his left eye is violet and his cheeks are marked with simplistic tattoos. Growing up under the Sagolii sun have darkly bronzed the skin of the seekers from Khobi's nomadic Jackal tribe. He can usually be seen wearing a white or cyan hempen undershirt with a brightly colored lace bow tied around his neck. He also wears nature colored culottes, leather shin guards, shoes and finger-less gloves. His medic outfit is vastly different: Sterile while and black gloves, tight leggings, and boots are worn to not only aid in handling most wounds, but prevent infection and blood from touching his skin. His white robs is especially unique; adorned not only with fancy white, black, and gold design, but also aetherial crystals to assist J'khobi if his own stores of aether are lacking. His prized possession, which the seeker wears on his forehead, is a custom-made tri-lens aetherometer than will display approximate aetherflow of whomever or whatever he is viewing. One of the lens appears to be faulty, however, as J'khobi cannot figure out it's function. The medicinal ensemble was a gift to the seeker after he cured the grand-daughter of Doctor Boris Lazarius from a rare strain of aetherial poison. The equipment belonged to the highlander doctor's son, who had died in the Calamity of the Sixth Astral Era.&lt;br /&gt;
===Personality===&lt;br /&gt;
'' &amp;quot;Has not been the same, ehe, uh... no. No! Not since the deserrrt. Find, I do, solace in healing otherrrs. Mebbe, as I do this? Heal myself, I do.&amp;quot; '' -J'khobi Tia&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
J'khobi is a very jittery miqo'te. His ears and tail often twitch at some invisible irritation and he has difficulties making sentences without stuttering or cackling to himself. The wide-eyed seeker sometimes has no sense of personal space or decorum as he examines strangers and their equipment with genuine fascination, often accidentally blinding them with the light given off by his aetherial optic. He flinches when touched and sometimes will stare into space for minutes at a time. His anxiety aside, J'khobi usually never hesitates when his services are needed and makes himself available to be there for his friends. While generally cheerful, he conceals his worries and loneliness to all except friends who ask him. It is the miqo'te's belief that as he cures the wounds of strangers and the world, he will simultaneously cure himself of his innate sorrow and wavering sanity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Combat==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:J'khobi_Medic.jpg|right|J'khobi_Medic.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
===Specialization===&lt;br /&gt;
'''Arcanist''' : It was a rare thing indeed for a seeker to be born with such high aetherial quantity and the nuhn of his tribe, J'rhaskir, did not hesitate in making J'khobi a valuable asset. Training from a young age, J'khobi was given selective reading and writing education and, of course, instruction on how to manipulate aether with an arcanist grimoire. Specifically, J'khobi studied the affects of aetherial poison from a traveling scholar named Zuzogin Zukagin. The seeker can bestow aetherial infection and remove it using the ink in his tome as a conduit with aetherflow and deal unaspected damage with his &amp;quot;aetherial ribbons.&amp;quot; Aside from offensive magicks, Khobi also deals heavily in the curative nature, providing succor to what ails his comrades and protecting them with magic shielding. His specialty, of course, is the remedying of poison, aetherial or otherwise. He was given a lot of practice in his life as a Tia from the sagolii desert as his nuhn would overdose on drugs and poison alike and have Khobi heal him. J'rhaskir would repeat this often saying, aside from combat, this act made him feel more alive than ever.&lt;br /&gt;

==Story==&lt;br /&gt;
{{spoiler}}&lt;br /&gt;
'' &amp;quot;Serve and protect, little star. Only you can do this. We will be in your heart and pray for you every night. When you look up at night, seek Menphina and know we are with you.&amp;quot; '' -Grandmother Adel&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
     It all began with the greed of the one they call J'rhaskir the Emberclaw. A Jackal from the Sagolii who fancied himself a God of war, he broke away to start his own tribe of hunters. In his blind ambition to be the most powerful sun-seeker alive, he sought any means for extra strength without recourse. This led him to be addicted to multiple powders and drugs, the best made by a clan of keeper miqo'te from the northern woods led by the mysterious Grandmother Adel. After trading too many resources for a combat stimulant, however, the Emberclaw's tribe began to suffer in a conflict against another seeker tribe that J'rhaskir had purposely agitated. He made a deal with Adel for supplies and powder. At the site of the exchange, instead of paying for the supplies with the agreed upon price, seeker warriors ambushed the keepers, killing them all and stealing the supplies, allowing J'rhaskir and his hunters to beat back his enemies in the Sagolii.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
     Outraged, Adel initiated a shadow-war in accordance with her own creed: ''&amp;quot;The Path of Knives.&amp;quot;'' Capable assassins would journey to the Sagolii, track down J'rhaskir, and kill him. While impulsive and reckless, the Emberclaw was no fool. Preparing for the keeper's counterattack, each assassin dispatched was taken out. J'rhaskir sent his own warriors to the woods to take out the entirety of the keeper clan, and bring him the head of Adel. One of these warriors was J'khobi, sired by J'rhaskir himself. The golden haired and red-eyed arcanist prodigy swore to take down the keeper matriarch with a small team of hunters, each gifted in the art of offensive magic. Even though half of the tribe wished to call a truce and stop the sudden attacks, J'rhaskir agreed, sending the boy into the Shroud to murder Adel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
     The seeker's ambuscade would have been devastating had J'khobi and his hunters been more patient. Instead of killing Adel, they killed her daughter Lahlih. Lahlih's mate Rihkk'a dove in to protect Adel and Lahlih, yet, seeing his love fall drove him into a rage and he tore apart the hunters before J'khobi put a dagger in the keeper's throat. J'khobi was outmatched by Adel, who bound the seeker and imprisoned him and mourned the death of her daughter. Lahlih and Rihkk'a left behind many daughters and one son. All of them swore revenge, but none sought it greater than the young male. He met with Adel and offered his entire being to take down J'rhaskir... and a plan was hatched.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Khujato.jpg|center|Khujato.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
     The greatest of magical glamours can cover a person who has a vast aether capacity. By what only could be divine coincidence, Lahlih's son was the same age and build of the seeker assassin J'khobi. With the help of the strongest mages in the Adel's clan, they would teach the keeper boy to become J'khobi, covering his body in a glamour to fool the seekers into believing ''he'' was the son of J'rhaskir. And when the time was right, the keeper boy would take his revenge and return. With the glamour stable and learning all he could of the real seeker, he set out to find the Emberclaw Tribe, telling J'rhaskir that he failed in killing the Matriarch Adel but had wounded her greatly. This satisfied the warrior of the sands, yet, he beat the glamoured seeker for his failure, regardless. Every sun he would serve the nuhn and his tribe without question. He was the rat of the tribe and though he was in pain, the keeper boy was patient. He would serve and protect his keeper family.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
     Something happened that the hidden keeper did not expect. Many of J'khobi's sisters as well as a few other hunters did not like the way J'rhaskir led them. The way he punished J'khobi and other hunters for their failure was frightening. No one was allowed to leave the tribe or trade without the nuhn's say. A plot soon developed by J'khobi's older brothers, J'dhoon and J'rhis, two Tias who journeyed farther than the nuhn allowed under the guise of &amp;quot;hunting missions.&amp;quot; They were, by all definition, adventurers in their own right and brought stories back to J'khobi, who, in turn showed them kindness and would cover for their long absence if J'rhaskir demanded their location. It was J'rhis who noticed a change in his once-impulsive young brother, yet... as the change was favorable, he did not question it. Together, the three planned to kill the nuhn while he slept...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
     Dhoon and Rhis attacked first, cutting down the Emberclaw's hunters. Rhaskir erupted in a fury, brandishing his wicked axe at the seekers. Rhis pushed Khobi out of the way and was dealt a mortal wound. While J'rhaskir was distracted, J'khobi took the chance he was waiting for. With all of his aetherial power, the glamoured keeper struck J'rhaskir, blasting his body with violent shadow flares while Dhoon stabbed his nuhn through the chest. The Emberclaw hunters that remained loyal to their nuhn were outraged. J'khobi turned to see the rest of the tribe who looked on in shock. Fighting broke out and J'khobi and J'dhoon ran out of the tribe grounds and into the desert night. A terrible sandstorm summoned out of nowhere, and glamoured keeper boy was lost.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
     Even the boy does not know how long he was in the desert alone. He had lost J'dhoon in the storm and all he could do was hunt for food and drink and try to not be burned by the sun or frozen by the night. He began to slowly lose himself in the heat and his mind clung to the story he had trianed himself to believe for the sake of his revenge... and he believed he really was J'khobi... that he was not at fault for the death of his nuhn. He forgot his keeper origins and even his glamour began to destabilize. One of his eyes turned to it's natural violet color, and his tail and hair began to revert to black. He wandered for suns until he collapsed in front of the jewel of the Thanalan, Ul'dah. Since his arrival, the jittery seeker remembers, ''&amp;quot;Serve and protect.&amp;quot;'' And so he would... he would heal the wounded strangers he meets and protect his new friends, hoping to mend his broken mind. On he lives without memory of his keeper origin.. and his family still prays for his safe return.&lt;br /&gt;

J'khobi has long, jet-black hair with blond tips. His right eye is red while his left eye is violet and his cheeks are marked with simplistic tattoos. Growing up under the Sagolii sun have darkly bronzed the skin of the seekers from Khobi's nomadic Jackal tribe. He can usually be seen wearing a white or cyan hempen undershirt with a brightly colored lace bow tied around his neck. He also wears nature colored culottes, leather shin guards, shoes and finger-less gloves. His medic outfit is vastly different: Sterile while and black gloves, tight leggings, and boots are worn to not only aid in handling most wounds, but prevent infection and blood from touching his skin. His white robs is especially unique; adorned not only with fancy white, black, and gold design, but also aetherial crystals to assist J'khobi if his own stores of aether are lacking. His prized possession, which the seeker wears on his forehead, is a custom-made tri-lens aetherometer than will display approximate aetherflow of whomever or whatever he is viewing. One of the lens appears to be faulty, however, as J'khobi cannot figure out it's function. The medicinal ensemble was a gift to the seeker after he cured the grand-daughter of Doctor Boris Lazarius from a rare strain of aetherial poison.

J'khobi is a very jittery miqo'te. His ears and tail often twitch at some invisible irritation and he has difficulties making sentences without stuttering or cackling to himself. The wide-eyed seeker sometimes has no sense of personal space or decorum as he examines strangers and their equipment with genuine fascination, often accidentally blinding them with the light given off by his aetherial optic. He flinches when touched and sometimes will stare into space for minutes at a time. His anxiety aside, J'khobi usually never hesitates when his services are needed and makes himself available to be there for his friends. While generally cheerful, he conceals his worries and loneliness to all except friends who ask him.

{{spoiler}}&lt;br /&gt;
'' &amp;quot;Serve and protect, little star. Only you can do this. We will be in your heart and pray for you every night. When you look up at night, seek Menphina and know we are with you.&amp;quot; '' -Grandmother Adel&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It all began with the greed of the one they call J'rhaskir the Emberclaw. A Jackal from the Sagolii who fancied himself a God of war, he broke away to start his own tribe of hunters. In his blind ambition to be the most powerful sun-seeker alive, he sought any means for extra strength without recourse. This led him to be addicted to multiple powders and drugs, the best made by a clan of keeper miqo'te from the northern woods led by the mysterious Grandmother Adel. After trading too many resources for a combat stimulant, however, the Emberclaw's tribe began to suffer in a conflict against another seeker tribe that J'rhaskir had purposely agitated. He made a deal with Adel for supplies and powder. At the site of the exchange, instead of paying for the supplies with the agreed upon price, seeker warriors ambushed the keepers, killing them all and stealing the supplies, allowing J'rhaskir and his hunters to beat back his enemies in the Sagolii.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Outraged, Adel initiated a shadow-war in accordance with her own creed: ''&amp;quot;The Path of Knives.&amp;quot;'' Capable assassins would journey to the Sagolii, track down J'rhaskir, and kill him. While impulsive and reckless, the Emberclaw was no fool. Preparing for the keeper's counterattack, each assassin dispatched was taken out. J'rhaskir sent his own warriors to the woods to take out the entirety of the keeper clan, and bring him the head of Adel. One of these warriors was J'khobi, sired by J'rhaskir himself. The golden haired and red-eyed arcanist prodigy swore to take down the keeper matriarch with a small team of hunters, each gifted in the art of offensive magic. Even though half of the tribe wished to call a truce and stop the sudden attacks, J'rhaskir agreed, sending the boy into the Shroud to murder Adel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The seeker's ambuscade would have been devastating had J'khobi and his hunters been more patient. Instead of killing Adel, they killed her daughter Lahlih. Lahlih's mate Rihkk'a dove in to protect Adel and Lahlih, yet, seeing his love fall drove him into a rage and he tore apart the hunters before J'khobi put a dagger in the keeper's throat. J'khobi was outmatched by Adel, who bound the seeker and imprisoned him and mourned the death of her daughter. Lahlih and Rihkk'a left behind many daughters and one son. All of them swore revenge, but none sought it greater than the young male. He met with Adel and offered his entire being to take down J'rhaskir... and a plan was hatched.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Khujato.jpg|center|Khujato.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
The greatest of magical glamours can cover a person who has a vast aether capacity. By what only could be divine coincidence, Lahlih's son was the same age and build of the seeker assassin J'khobi. With the help of the strongest mages in the Adel's clan, they would teach the keeper boy to become J'khobi, covering his body in a glamour to fool the seekers into believing ''he'' was the son of J'rhaskir. And when the time was right, the keeper boy would take his revenge and return. With the glamour stable and learning all he could of the real seeker, he set out to find the Emberclaw Tribe, telling J'rhaskir that he failed in killing the Matriarch Adel but had wounded her greatly. This satisfied the warrior of the sands, yet, he beat the glamoured seeker for his failure, regardless. Every sun he would serve the nuhn and his tribe without question. He was the rat of the tribe and though he was in pain, the keeper boy was patient. He would serve and protect his keeper family.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Something happened that the hidden keeper did not expect. Many of J'khobi's sisters as well as a few other hunters did not like the way J'rhaskir led them. The way he punished J'khobi and other hunters for their failure was frightening. No one was allowed to leave the tribe or trade without the nuhn's say. A plot soon developed by J'khobi's older brothers, J'dhoon and J'rhis, two Tias who journeyed farther than the nuhn allowed under the guise of &amp;quot;hunting missions.&amp;quot; They were, by all definition, adventurers in their own right and brought stories back to J'khobi, who, in turn showed them kindness and would cover for their long absence if J'rhaskir demanded their location. It was J'rhis who noticed a change in his once-impulsive young brother, yet... as the change was favorable, he did not question it. Together, the three planned to kill the nuhn while he slept...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dhoon and Rhis attacked first, cutting down the Emberclaw's hunters. Rhaskir erupted in a fury, brandishing his wicked axe at the seekers. Rhis pushed Khobi out of the way and was dealt a mortal wound. While J'rhaskir was distracted, J'khobi took the chance he was waiting for. With all of his aetherial power, the glamoured keeper struck J'rhaskir, blasting his body with violent shadow flares while Dhoon stabbed his nuhn through the chest. The Emberclaw hunters that remained loyal to their nuhn were outraged. J'khobi turned to see the rest of the tribe who looked on in shock. Fighting broke out and J'khobi and J'dhoon ran out of the tribe grounds and into the desert night. A terrible sandstorm summoned out of nowhere, and glamoured keeper boy was lost.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even the boy does not know how long he was in the desert alone. He had lost J'dhoon in the storm and all he could do was hunt for food and drink and try to not be burned by the sun or frozen by the night. He began to slowly lose himself in the heat and his mind clung to the story he had trianed himself to believe for the sake of his revenge... and he believed he really was J'khobi... that he was not at fault for the death of his nuhn. He forgot his keeper origins and even his glamour began to destabilize. One of his eyes turned to it's natural violet color, and his tail and hair began to revert to black. He wandered for suns until he collapsed in front of the jewel of the Thanalan, Ul'dah. Since his arrival, the jittery seeker remembers, ''&amp;quot;Serve and protect.&amp;quot;'' And so he would... he would heal the wounded strangers he meets and protect his new friends, hoping to mend his broken mind. On he lives without memory of his keeper origin.. and his family still prays for his safe return.&lt;br /&gt;

His medic outfit is vastly different: Sterile while and black gloves, tight leggings, and boots are worn to not only aid in handling most wounds, but prevent infection and blood from touching his skin. His white robs is especially unique; adorned not only with fancy white, black, and gold design, but also aetherial crystals to assist J'khobi if his own stores of aether are lacking. His prized possession, which the seeker wears on his forehead, is a custom-made tri-lens aetherometer than will display approximate aetherflow of whomever or whatever he is viewing.

The golden haired and red-eyed arcanist prodigy swore to take down the keeper matriarch with a small team of hunters, each gifted in the art of offensive magic. Even though half of the tribe wished to call a truce and stop the sudden attacks, J'rhaskir agreed, sending the boy into the Shroud to murder Adel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The seeker's ambuscade would have been devastating had J'khobi and his hunters been more patient. Instead of killing Adel, they killed her daughter Lahlih. Lahlih's mate Rihkk'a dove in to protect Adel and Lahlih, yet, seeing his love fall drove him into a rage and he tore apart the hunters before J'khobi put a dagger in the keeper's throat. J'khobi was outmatched by Adel, who bound the seeker and imprisoned him and mourned the death of her daughter. Lahlih and Rihkk'a left behind many daughters and one son. All of them swore revenge, but none sought it greater than the young male. He met with Adel and offered his entire being to take down J'rhaskir... and a plan was hatched.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Khujato.jpg|center|Khujato.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
The greatest of magical glamours can cover a person who has a vast aether capacity. By what only could be divine coincidence, Lahlih's son was the same age and build of the seeker assassin J'khobi. With the help of the strongest mages in the Adel's clan, they would teach the keeper boy to become J'khobi, covering his body in a glamour to fool the seekers into believing ''he'' was the son of J'rhaskir. And when the time was right, the keeper boy would take his revenge and return. With the glamour stable and learning all he could of the real seeker, he set out to find the Emberclaw Tribe, telling J'rhaskir that he failed in killing the Matriarch Adel but had wounded her greatly. This satisfied the warrior of the sands, yet, he beat the glamoured seeker for his failure, regardless. Every sun he would serve the nuhn and his tribe without question. He was the rat of the tribe and though he was in pain, the keeper boy was patient. He would serve and protect his keeper family.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Something happened that the hidden keeper did not expect. Many of J'khobi's sisters as well as a few other hunters did not like the way J'rhaskir led them. The way he punished J'khobi and other hunters for their failure was frightening. No one was allowed to leave the tribe or trade without the nuhn's say. A plot soon developed by J'khobi's older brothers, J'dhoon and J'rhis, two Tias who journeyed farther than the nuhn allowed under the guise of &amp;quot;hunting missions.&amp;quot; They were, by all definition, adventurers in their own right and brought stories back to J'khobi, who, in turn showed them kindness and would cover for their long absence if J'rhaskir demanded their location. It was J'rhis who noticed a change in his once-impulsive young brother, yet... as the change was favorable, he did not question it. Together, the three planned to kill the nuhn while he slept...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dhoon and Rhis attacked first, cutting down the Emberclaw's hunters. Rhaskir erupted in a fury, brandishing his wicked axe at the seekers. Rhis pushed Khobi out of the way and was dealt a mortal wound. While J'rhaskir was distracted, J'khobi took the chance he was waiting for. With all of his aetherial power, the glamoured keeper struck J'rhaskir, blasting his body with violent shadow flares while Dhoon stabbed his nuhn through the chest. The Emberclaw hunters that remained loyal to their nuhn were outraged. J'khobi turned to see the rest of the tribe who looked on in shock. Fighting broke out and J'khobi and J'dhoon ran out of the tribe grounds and into the desert night. A terrible sandstorm summoned out of nowhere, and glamoured keeper boy was lost.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even the boy does not know how long he was in the desert alone. He had lost J'dhoon in the storm and all he could do was hunt for food and drink and try to not be burned by the sun or frozen by the night. He began to slowly lose himself in the heat and his mind clung to the story he had trianed himself to believe for the sake of his revenge... and he believed he really was J'khobi... that he was not at fault for the death of his nuhn. He forgot his keeper origins and even his glamour began to destabilize. One of his eyes turned to it's natural violet color, and his tail and hair began to revert to black. He wandered for suns until he collapsed in front of the jewel of the Thanalan, Ul'dah. Since his arrival, the jittery seeker remembers, ''&amp;quot;Serve and protect.&amp;quot;'' And so he would... he would heal the wounded strangers he meets and protect his new friends, hoping to mend his broken mind. On he lives without memory of his keeper origin.. and his family still prays for his safe return.&lt;br /&gt;

==Profile==&lt;br /&gt;
===Appearance===&lt;br /&gt;
J'khobi has long, jet-black hair with blond tips. His right eye is red while his left eye is violet and his cheeks are marked with simplistic tattoos. Growing up under the Sagolii sun have darkly bronzed the skin of the seekers from Khobi's nomadic Jackal tribe. He can usually be seen wearing a white or cyan hempen undershirt with a brightly colored lace bow tied around his neck. He also wears nature colored culottes, leather shin guards, shoes and finger-less gloves. His medic outfit is vastly different: Sterile while and black gloves, tight leggings, and boots are worn to not only aid in handling most wounds, but prevent infection and blood from touching his skin. His white robs is especially unique; adorned not only with fancy white, black, and gold design, but also aetherial crystals to assist J'khobi if his own stores of aether are lacking. His prized possession, which the seeker wears on his forehead, is a custom-made tri-lens aetherometer than will display approximate aetherflow of whomever or whatever he is viewing. One of the lens appears to be faulty, however, as J'khobi cannot figure out it's function. The medicinal ensemble was a gift to the seeker after he cured the grand-daughter of Doctor Boris Lazarius from a rare strain of aetherial poison. The equipment belonged to the highlander doctor's son, who had died in the Calamity of the Sixth Astral Era.&lt;br /&gt;
===Personality===&lt;br /&gt;
'' &amp;quot;Has not been the same, ehe, uh... no. No! Not since the deserrrt. Find, I do, solace in healing otherrrs. Mebbe, as I do this? Heal myself, I do.&amp;quot; '' -J'khobi Tia&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
J'khobi is a very jittery miqo'te. His ears and tail often twitch at some invisible irritation and he has difficulties making sentences without stuttering or cackling to himself. The wide-eyed seeker sometimes has no sense of personal space or decorum as he examines strangers and their equipment with genuine fascination, often accidentally blinding them with the light given off by his aetherial optic. He flinches when touched and sometimes will stare into space for minutes at a time. His anxiety aside, J'khobi usually never hesitates when his services are needed and makes himself available to be there for his friends. While generally cheerful, he conceals his worries and loneliness to all except friends who ask him. It is the miqo'te's belief that as he cures the wounds of strangers and the world, he will simultaneously cure himself of his innate sorrow and wavering sanity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Combat==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:J'khobi_Medic.jpg|right|J'khobi_Medic.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
===Specialization===&lt;br /&gt;
'''Arcanist''' : It was a rare thing indeed for a seeker to be born with such high aetherial quantity and the nuhn of his tribe, J'rhaskir, did not hesitate in making J'khobi a valuable asset. Training from a young age, J'khobi was given selective reading and writing education and, of course, instruction on how to manipulate aether with an arcanist grimoire. Specifically, J'khobi studied the affects of aetherial poison from a traveling scholar named Zuzogin Zukagin. The seeker can bestow aetherial infection and remove it using the ink in his tome as a conduit with aetherflow and deal unaspected damage with his &amp;quot;aetherial ribbons.&amp;quot; Aside from offensive magicks, Khobi also deals heavily in the curative nature, providing succor to what ails his comrades and protecting them with magic shielding. His specialty, of course, is the remedying of poison, aetherial or otherwise. He was given a lot of practice in his life as a Tia from the sagolii desert as his nuhn would overdose on drugs and poison alike and have Khobi heal him. J'rhaskir would repeat this often saying, aside from combat, this act made him feel more alive than ever.&lt;br /&gt;

==Story==&lt;br /&gt;
{{spoiler}}&lt;br /&gt;
'' &amp;quot;Serve and protect, little star. Only you can do this. We will be in your heart and pray for you every night. When you look up at night, seek Menphina and know we are with you.&amp;quot; '' -Grandmother Adel&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It all began with the greed of the one they call J'rhaskir the Emberclaw. A Jackal from the Sagolii who fancied himself a God of war, he broke away to start his own tribe of hunters. In his blind ambition to be the most powerful sun-seeker alive, he sought any means for extra strength without recourse. This led him to be addicted to multiple powders and drugs, the best made by a clan of keeper miqo'te from the northern woods led by the mysterious Grandmother Adel. After trading too many resources for a combat stimulant, however, the Emberclaw's tribe began to suffer in a conflict against another seeker tribe that J'rhaskir had purposely agitated. He made a deal with Adel for supplies and powder. At the site of the exchange, instead of paying for the supplies with the agreed upon price, seeker warriors ambushed the keepers, killing them all and stealing the supplies, allowing J'rhaskir and his hunters to beat back his enemies in the Sagolii.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Outraged, Adel initiated a shadow-war in accordance with her own creed: ''&amp;quot;The Path of Knives.&amp;quot;'' Capable assassins would journey to the Sagolii, track down J'rhaskir, and kill him. While impulsive and reckless, the Emberclaw was no fool. Preparing for the keeper's counterattack, each assassin dispatched was taken out. J'rhaskir sent his own warriors to the woods to take out the entirety of the keeper clan, and bring him the head of Adel. One of these warriors was J'khobi, sired by J'rhaskir himself. The golden haired and red-eyed arcanist prodigy swore to take down the keeper matriarch with a small team of hunters, each gifted in the art of offensive magic. Even though half of the tribe wished to call a truce and stop the sudden attacks, J'rhaskir agreed, sending the boy into the Shroud to murder Adel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The seeker's ambuscade would have been devastating had J'khobi and his hunters been more patient. Instead of killing Adel, they killed her daughter Lahlih. Lahlih's mate Rihkk'a dove in to protect Adel and Lahlih, yet, seeing his love fall drove him into a rage and he tore apart the hunters before J'khobi put a dagger in the keeper's throat. J'khobi was outmatched by Adel, who bound the seeker and imprisoned him and mourned the death of her daughter. Lahlih and Rihkk'a left behind many daughters and one son. All of them swore revenge, but none sought it greater than the young male. He met with Adel and offered his entire being to take down J'rhaskir... and a plan was hatched.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Khujato.jpg|center|Khujato.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
The greatest of magical glamours can cover a person who has a vast aether capacity. By what only could be divine coincidence, Lahlih's son was the same age and build of the seeker assassin J'khobi. With the help of the strongest mages in the Adel's clan, they would teach the keeper boy to become J'khobi, covering his body in a glamour to fool the seekers into believing ''he'' was the son of J'rhaskir. And when the time was right, the keeper boy would take his revenge and return. With the glamour stable and learning all he could of the real seeker, he set out to find the Emberclaw Tribe, telling J'rhaskir that he failed in killing the Matriarch Adel but had wounded her greatly. This satisfied the warrior of the sands, yet, he beat the glamoured seeker for his failure, regardless. Every sun he would serve the nuhn and his tribe without question. He was the rat of the tribe and though he was in pain, the keeper boy was patient. He would serve and protect his keeper family.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Something happened that the hidden keeper did not expect. Many of J'khobi's sisters as well as a few other hunters did not like the way J'rhaskir led them. The way he punished J'khobi and other hunters for their failure was frightening. No one was allowed to leave the tribe or trade without the nuhn's say. A plot soon developed by J'khobi's older brothers, J'dhoon and J'rhis, two Tias who journeyed farther than the nuhn allowed under the guise of &amp;quot;hunting missions.&amp;quot; They were, by all definition, adventurers in their own right and brought stories back to J'khobi, who, in turn showed them kindness and would cover for their long absence if J'rhaskir demanded their location. It was J'rhis who noticed a change in his once-impulsive young brother, yet... as the change was favorable, he did not question it. Together, the three planned to kill the nuhn while he slept...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dhoon and Rhis attacked first, cutting down the Emberclaw's hunters. Rhaskir erupted in a fury, brandishing his wicked axe at the seekers. Rhis pushed Khobi out of the way and was dealt a mortal wound. While J'rhaskir was distracted, J'khobi took the chance he was waiting for. With all of his aetherial power, the glamoured keeper struck J'rhaskir, blasting his body with violent shadow flares while Dhoon stabbed his nuhn through the chest. The Emberclaw hunters that remained loyal to their nuhn were outraged. J'khobi turned to see the rest of the tribe who looked on in shock. Fighting broke out and J'khobi and J'dhoon ran out of the tribe grounds and into the desert night. A terrible sandstorm summoned out of nowhere, and glamoured keeper boy was lost.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even the boy does not know how long he was in the desert alone. He had lost J'dhoon in the storm and all he could do was hunt for food and drink and try to not be burned by the sun or frozen by the night. He began to slowly lose himself in the heat and his mind clung to the story he had trianed himself to believe for the sake of his revenge... and he believed he really was J'khobi... that he was not at fault for the death of his nuhn. He forgot his keeper origins and even his glamour began to destabilize. One of his eyes turned to it's natural violet color, and his tail and hair began to revert to black. He wandered for suns until he collapsed in front of the jewel of the Thanalan, Ul'dah. Since his arrival, the jittery seeker remembers, ''&amp;quot;Serve and protect.&amp;quot;'' And so he would... he would heal the wounded strangers he meets and protect his new friends, hoping to mend his broken mind. On he lives without memory of his keeper origin.. and his family still prays for his safe return.&lt;br /&gt;

J'khobi has long, jet-black hair with blond tips. His right eye is red while his left eye is violet and his cheeks are marked with simplistic tattoos. Growing up under the Sagolii sun have darkly bronzed the skin of the seekers from Khobi's nomadic Jackal tribe. He can usually be seen wearing a white or cyan hempen undershirt with a brightly colored lace bow tied around his neck. He also wears nature colored culottes, leather shin guards, shoes and finger-less gloves. His medic outfit is vastly different: Sterile while and black gloves, tight leggings, and boots are worn to not only aid in handling most wounds, but prevent infection and blood from touching his skin. His white robs is especially unique; adorned not only with fancy white, black, and gold design, but also aetherial crystals to assist J'khobi if his own stores of aether are lacking. His prized possession, which the seeker wears on his forehead, is a custom-made tri-lens aetherometer than will display approximate aetherflow of whomever or whatever he is viewing. One of the lens appears to be faulty, however, as J'khobi cannot figure out it's function. The medicinal ensemble was a gift to the seeker after he cured the grand-daughter of Doctor Boris Lazarius from a rare strain of aetherial poison. The equipment belonged to the highlander doctor's son, who had died in the Calamity of the Sixth Astral Era.&lt;br /&gt;

J'khobi is a very jittery miqo'te. His ears and tail often twitch at some invisible irritation and he has difficulties making sentences without stuttering or cackling to himself.

His anxiety aside, J'khobi usually never hesitates when his services are needed and makes himself available to be there for his friends. While generally cheerful, he conceals his worries and loneliness to all except friends who ask him. It is the miqo'te's belief that as he cures the wounds of strangers and the world, he will simultaneously cure himself of his innate sorrow and wavering sanity.&lt;br /&gt;

'' &amp;quot;Serve and protect, little star. Only you can do this. We will be in your heart and pray for you every night. When you look up at night, seek Menphina and know we are with you.&amp;quot; '' -Grandmother Adel&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It all began with the greed of the one they call J'rhaskir the Emberclaw. A Jackal from the Sagolii who fancied himself a God of war, he broke away to start his own tribe of hunters. In his blind ambition to be the most powerful sun-seeker alive, he sought any means for extra strength without recourse. This led him to be addicted to multiple powders and drugs, the best made by a clan of keeper miqo'te from the northern woods led by the mysterious Grandmother Adel. After trading too many resources for a combat stimulant, however, the Emberclaw's tribe began to suffer in a conflict against another seeker tribe that J'rhaskir had purposely agitated. He made a deal with Adel for supplies and powder. At the site of the exchange, instead of paying for the supplies with the agreed upon price, seeker warriors ambushed the keepers, killing them all and stealing the supplies, allowing J'rhaskir and his hunters to beat back his enemies in the Sagolii.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Outraged, Adel initiated a shadow-war in accordance with her own creed: ''&amp;quot;The Path of Knives.&amp;quot;'' Capable assassins would journey to the Sagolii, track down J'rhaskir, and kill him. While impulsive and reckless, the Emberclaw was no fool. Preparing for the keeper's counterattack, each assassin dispatched was taken out. J'rhaskir sent his own warriors to the woods to take out the entirety of the keeper clan, and bring him the head of Adel. One of these warriors was J'khobi, sired by J'rhaskir himself. The golden haired and red-eyed arcanist prodigy swore to take down the keeper matriarch with a small team of hunters, each gifted in the art of offensive magic. Even though half of the tribe wished to call a truce and stop the sudden attacks, J'rhaskir agreed, sending the boy into the Shroud to murder Adel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The seeker's ambuscade would have been devastating had J'khobi and his hunters been more patient. Instead of killing Adel, they killed her daughter Lahlih. Lahlih's mate Rihkk'a dove in to protect Adel and Lahlih, yet, seeing his love fall drove him into a rage and he tore apart the hunters before J'khobi put a dagger in the keeper's throat. J'khobi was outmatched by Adel, who bound the seeker and imprisoned him and mourned the death of her daughter. Lahlih and Rihkk'a left behind many daughters and one son. All of them swore revenge, but none sought it greater than the young male. He met with Adel and offered his entire being to take down J'rhaskir... and a plan was hatched.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Khujato.jpg|center|Khujato.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
The greatest of magical glamours can cover a person who has a vast aether capacity. By what only could be divine coincidence, Lahlih's son was the same age and build of the seeker assassin J'khobi. With the help of the strongest mages in the Adel's clan, they would teach the keeper boy to become J'khobi, covering his body in a glamour to fool the seekers into believing ''he'' was the son of J'rhaskir. And when the time was right, the keeper boy would take his revenge and return. With the glamour stable and learning all he could of the real seeker, he set out to find the Emberclaw Tribe, telling J'rhaskir that he failed in killing the Matriarch Adel but had wounded her greatly. This satisfied the warrior of the sands, yet, he beat the glamoured seeker for his failure, regardless. Every sun he would serve the nuhn and his tribe without question. He was the rat of the tribe and though he was in pain, the keeper boy was patient. He would serve and protect his keeper family.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Something happened that the hidden keeper did not expect. Many of J'khobi's sisters as well as a few other hunters did not like the way J'rhaskir led them. The way he punished J'khobi and other hunters for their failure was frightening. No one was allowed to leave the tribe or trade without the nuhn's say. A plot soon developed by J'khobi's older brothers, J'dhoon and J'rhis, two Tias who journeyed farther than the nuhn allowed under the guise of &amp;quot;hunting missions.&amp;quot; They were, by all definition, adventurers in their own right and brought stories back to J'khobi, who, in turn showed them kindness and would cover for their long absence if J'rhaskir demanded their location. It was J'rhis who noticed a change in his once-impulsive young brother, yet... as the change was favorable, he did not question it. Together, the three planned to kill the nuhn while he slept...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dhoon and Rhis attacked first, cutting down the Emberclaw's hunters. Rhaskir erupted in a fury, brandishing his wicked axe at the seekers. Rhis pushed Khobi out of the way and was dealt a mortal wound. While J'rhaskir was distracted, J'khobi took the chance he was waiting for. With all of his aetherial power, the glamoured keeper struck J'rhaskir, blasting his body with violent shadow flares while Dhoon stabbed his nuhn through the chest. The Emberclaw hunters that remained loyal to their nuhn were outraged. J'khobi turned to see the rest of the tribe who looked on in shock. Fighting broke out and J'khobi and J'dhoon ran out of the tribe grounds and into the desert night. A terrible sandstorm summoned out of nowhere, and glamoured keeper boy was lost.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even the boy does not know how long he was in the desert alone. He had lost J'dhoon in the storm and all he could do was hunt for food and drink and try to not be burned by the sun or frozen by the night. He began to slowly lose himself in the heat and his mind clung to the story he had trianed himself to believe for the sake of his revenge... and he believed he really was J'khobi... that he was not at fault for the death of his nuhn. He forgot his keeper origins and even his glamour began to destabilize. One of his eyes turned to it's natural violet color, and his tail and hair began to revert to black. He wandered for suns until he collapsed in front of the jewel of the Thanalan, Ul'dah. Since his arrival, the jittery seeker remembers, ''&amp;quot;Serve and protect.&amp;quot;'' And so he would... he would heal the wounded strangers he meets and protect his new friends, hoping to mend his broken mind. On he lives without memory of his keeper origin.. and his family still prays for his safe return.&lt;br /&gt;

Outraged, Adel initiated a shadow-war in accordance with her own creed: ''&amp;quot;The Path of Knives.&amp;quot;'' Capable assassins would journey to the Sagoulii, track down J'rhaskir, and kill him. While impulsive and reckless, the Emberclaw was no fool. Preparing for the keeper's counterattack, each assassin dispatched was taken out. J'rhaskir sent his own warriors to the woods to take out the entirety of the keeper clan, and bring him the head of Adel. One of these warriors was J'khobi, sired by J'rhaskir himself. The golden haired and red-eyed arcanist prodigy swore to take down the keeper matriarch with a small team of hunters, each gifted in the art of offensive magic. Even though half of the tribe wished to call a truce and stop the sudden attacks, J'rhaskir agreed, sending the boy into the Shroud to murder Adel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The seeker's ambuscade would have been devastating had J'khobi and his hunters been more patient. Instead of killing Adel, they killed her daughter Lahlih. Lahlih's mate Rihkk'a dove in to protect Adel and Lahlih, yet, seeing his love fall drove him into a rage and he tore apart the hunters before J'khobi put a dagger in the keeper's throat. J'khobi was outmatched by Adel, who bound the seeker and imprisoned him and mourned the death of her daughter. Lahlih and Rihkk'a left behind many daughters and one son. All of them swore revenge, but none sought it greater than the young male. He met with Adel and offered his entire being to take down J'rhaskir... and a plan was hatched.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Khujato.jpg|center|Khujato.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
The greatest of magical glamours can cover a person who has a vast aether capacity. By what only could be divine coincidence, Lahlih's son was the same age and build of the seeker assassin J'khobi. With the help of the strongest mages in the Adel's clan, they would teach the keeper boy to become J'khobi, covering his body in a glamour to fool the seekers into believing ''he'' was the son of J'rhaskir. And when the time was right, the keeper boy would take his revenge and return. With the glamour stable and learning all he could of the real seeker, he set out to find the Emberclaw Tribe, telling J'rhaskir that he failed in killing the Matriarch Adel but had wounded her greatly. This satisfied the warrior of the sands, yet, he beat the glamoured seeker for his failure, regardless. Every sun he would serve the nuhn and his tribe without question. He was the rat of the tribe and though he was in pain, the keeper boy was patient. He would serve and protect his keeper family.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Something happened that the hidden keeper did not expect. Many of J'khobi's sisters as well as a few other hunters did not like the way J'rhaskir led them. The way he punished J'khobi and other hunters for their failure was frightening. No one was allowed to leave the tribe or trade without the nuhn's say. A plot soon developed by J'khobi's older brothers, J'dhoon and J'rhis, two Tias who journeyed farther than the nuhn allowed under the guise of &amp;quot;hunting missions.&amp;quot; They were, by all definition, adventurers in their own right and brought stories back to J'khobi, who, in turn showed them kindness and would cover for their long absence if J'rhaskir demanded their location. It was J'rhis who noticed a change in his once-impulsive young brother, yet... as the change was favorable, he did not question it. Together, the three planned to kill the nuhn while he slept...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dhoon and Rhis attacked first, cutting down the Emberclaw's hunters. Rhaskir erupted in a fury, brandishing his wicked axe at the seekers. Rhis pushed Khobi out of the way and was dealt a mortal wound. While J'rhaskir was distracted, J'khobi took the chance he was waiting for. With all of his aetherial power, the glamoured keeper struck J'rhaskir, blasting his body with violent shadow flares while Dhoon stabbed his nuhn through the chest. The Emberclaw hunters that remained loyal to their nuhn were outraged. J'khobi turned to see the rest of the tribe who looked on in shock. Fighting broke out and J'khobi and J'dhoon ran out of the tribe grounds and into the desert night. A terrible sandstorm summoned out of nowhere, and glamoured keeper boy was lost.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even the boy does not know how long he was in the desert alone. He had lost J'dhoon in the storm and all he could do was hunt for food and drink and try to not be burned by the sun or frozen by the night. He began to slowly lose himself in the heat and his mind clung to the story he had trianed himself to believe for the sake of his revenge... and he believed he really was J'khobi... that he was not at fault for the death of his nuhn. He forgot his keeper origins and even his glamour began to destabilize. One of his eyes turned to it's natural violet color, and his tail and hair began to revert to black. He wandered for suns until he collapsed in front of the jewel of the Thanalan, Ul'dah. Since his arrival, the jittery seeker remembers, ''&amp;quot;Serve and protect.&amp;quot;'' And so he would... he would heal the wounded strangers he meets and protect his new friends, hoping to mend his broken mind. On he lives without memory of his keeper origin.. and his family still prays for his safe return.&lt;br /&gt;

===Appearance===&lt;br /&gt;
J'khobi has long, jet-black hair with blond tips. His right eye is red while his left eye is violet and his cheeks are marked with simplistic tattoos. Growing up under the Sagoulii sun have darkly bronzed the skin of the seekers from Khobi's nomadic Jackal tribe. He can usually be seen wearing a white or cyan hempen undershirt with a brightly colored lace bow tied around his neck. He also wears nature colored culottes, leather shin guards, shoes and finger-less gloves. His medic outfit is vastly different: Sterile while and black gloves, tight leggings, and boots are worn to not only aid in handling most wounds, but prevent infection and blood from touching his skin. His white robs is especially unique; adorned not only with fancy white, black, and gold design, but also aetherial crystals to assist J'khobi if his own stores of aether are lacking. His prized possession, which the seeker wears on his forehead, is a custom-made tri-lens aetherometer than will display approximate aetherflow of whomever or whatever he is viewing. One of the lens appears to be faulty, however, as J'khobi cannot figure out it's function. The medicinal ensemble was a gift to the seeker after he cured the grand-daughter of Doctor Boris Lazarius from a rare strain of aetherial poison. The equipment belonged to the highlander doctor's son, who had died in the Calamity of the Sixth Astral Era.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
J'khobi is a very jittery miqo'te. His ears and tail often twitch at some invisible irritation and he has difficulties making sentences without stuttering or cackling to himself. The wide-eyed seeker sometimes has no sense of personal space or decorum as he examines strangers and their equipment with genuine fascination, often accidentally blinding them with the light given off by his aetherial optic. He flinches when touched and sometimes will stare into space for minutes at a time. His anxiety aside, J'khobi usually never hesitates when his services are needed and makes himself available to be there for his friends. While generally cheerful, he conceals his worries and loneliness to all except friends who ask him. It is the miqo'te's belief that as he cures the wounds of strangers and the world, he will simultaneously cure himself of his innate sorrow and wavering sanity.&lt;br /&gt;

'''Arcanist''' : It was a rare thing indeed for a seeker to be born with such high aetherial quantity and the nuhn of his tribe, J'rhaskir, did not hesitate in making J'khobi a valuable asset. Training from a young age, J'khobi was given selective reading and writing education and, of course, instruction on how to manipulate aether with an arcanist grimoire. Specifically, J'khobi studied the affects of aetherial poison from a traveling scholar named Zuzogin Zukagin. The seeker can bestow aetherial infection and remove it using the ink in his tome as a conduit with aetherflow and deal unaspected damage with his &amp;quot;aetherial ribbons.&amp;quot; Aside from offensive magicks, Khobi also deals heavily in the curative nature, providing succor to what ails his comrades and protecting them with magic shielding. His specialty, of course, is the remedying of poison, aetherial or otherwise. He was given a lot of practice in his life as a Tia from the sagoulii desert as his nuhn would overdose on drugs and poison alike and have Khobi heal him. J'rhaskir would repeat this often saying, aside from combat, this act made him feel more alive than ever.&lt;br /&gt;

==Story==&lt;br /&gt;
{{spoiler}}&lt;br /&gt;
'' &amp;quot;Serve and protect, little star. Only you can do this. We will be in your heart and pray for you every night. When you look up at night, seek Menphina and know we are with you.&amp;quot; '' -Grandmother Adel&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It all began with the greed of the one they call J'rhaskir the Emberclaw. A Jackal from the Sagoulii who fancied himself a God of war, he broke away to start his own tribe of hunters. In his blind ambition to be the most powerful sun-seeker alive, he sought any means for extra strength without recourse. This led him to be addicted to multiple powders and drugs, the best made by a clan of keeper miqo'te from the northern woods led by the mysterious Grandmother Adel. After trading too many resources for a combat stimulant, however, the Emberclaw's tribe began to suffer in a conflict against another seeker tribe that J'rhaskir had purposely agitated. He made a deal with Adel for supplies and powder. At the site of the exchange, instead of paying for the supplies with the agreed upon price, seeker warriors ambushed the keepers, killing them all and stealing the supplies, allowing J'rhaskir and his hunters to beat back his enemies in the Sagoulii.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Outraged, Adel because a shadow-war in accordance with her own creed: ''&amp;quot;The Path of Knives.&amp;quot;'' Capable assassins would journey to the Sagoulii, track down J'rhaskir, and kill him. While impulsive and reckless, the Emberclaw was no fool. Preparing for the keeper's counterattack, each assassin dispatched was taken out. J'rhaskir sent his own warriors to the woods to take out the entirety of the keeper clan, and bring him the head of Adel. One of these warriors was J'khobi, sired by J'rhaskir himself. The golden haired and red-eyed arcanist prodigy swore to take down the keeper matriarch with a small team of hunters, each gifted in the art of offensive magic. Even though half of the tribe wished to call a truce and stop the sudden attacks, J'rhaskir agreed, sending the boy into the Shroud to murder Adel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The seeker's ambuscade would have been devastating had J'khobi and his hunters been more patient. Instead of killing Adel, they killed her daughter Lahlih. Lahlih's mate Rihkk'a dove in to protect Adel and Lahlih, yet, seeing his love fall drove him into a rage and he tore apart the hunters before J'khobi put a dagger in the keeper's throat. J'khobi was outmatched by Adel, who bound the seeker and imprisoned him and mourned the death of her daughter. Lahlih and Rihkk'a left behind many daughters and one son. All of them swore revenge, but none sought it greater than the young male. He met with Adel and offered his entire being to take down J'rhaskir... and a plan was hatched.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Khujato.jpg|center|Khujato.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
The greatest of magical glamours can cover a person who has a vast aether capacity. By what only could be divine coincidence, Lahlih's son was the same age and build of the seeker assassin J'khobi. With the help of the strongest mages in the Adel's clan, they would teach the keeper boy to become J'khobi, covering his body in a glamour to fool the seekers into believing ''he'' was the son of J'rhaskir.

A plot soon developed by J'khobi's older brothers, J'dhoon and J'rhis, two Tias who journeyed farther than the nuhn allowed under the guise of &amp;quot;hunting missions.&amp;quot; They were, by all definition, adventurers in their own right and brought stories back to J'khobi, who, in turn showed them kindness and would cover for their long absence if J'rhaskir demanded their location.

Dhoon and Rhis attacked first, cutting down the Emberclaw's hunters. Rhaskir erupted in a fury, brandishing his wicked axe at the seekers. Rhis pushed Khobi out of the way and was dealt a mortal wound. While J'rhaskir was distracted, J'khobi took the chance he was waiting for. With all of his aetherial power, the glamoured keeper struck J'rhaskir, blasting his body with violent shadow flares while Dhoon stabbed his nuhn through the chest. The Emberclaw hunters that remained loyal to their nuhn were outraged. J'khobi turned to see the rest of the tribe who looked on in shock. Fighting broke out and J'khobi and J'dhoon ran out of the tribe grounds and into the desert night. A terrible sandstorm summoned out of nowhere, and glamoured keeper boy was lost.&lt;br /&gt;

==Story==&lt;br /&gt;
{{spoiler}}&lt;br /&gt;
'' &amp;quot;Serve and protect, little star. Only you can do this. We will be in your heart and pray for you every night. When you look up at night, seek Menphina and know we are with you.&amp;quot; '' -Grandmother Adel&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It all began with the greed of the one they call J'rhaskir the Emberclaw. A Jackal from the Sagoulii who fancied himself a God of war, he broke away to start his own tribe of hunters. In his blind ambition to be the most powerful sun-seeker alive, he sought any means for extra strength without recourse. This led him to be addicted to multiple powders and drugs, the best made by a clan of keeper miqo'te from the northern woods led by the mysterious Grandmother Adel. After trading too many resources for a combat stimulant, however, the Emberclaw's tribe began to suffer in a conflict against another seeker tribe that J'rhaskir had purposely agitated. He made a deal with Adel for supplies and powder. At the site of the exchange, instead of paying for the supplies with the agreed upon price, seeker warriors ambushed the keepers, killing them all and stealing the supplies, allowing J'rhaskir and his hunters to beat back his enemies in the Sagoulii.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Outraged, Adel because a shadow-war in accordance with her own creed: ''&amp;quot;The Path of Knives.&amp;quot;'' Capable assassins would journey to the Sagoulii, track down J'rhaskir, and kill him. While impulsive and reckless, the Emberclaw was no fool. Preparing for the keeper's counterattack, each assassin dispatched was taken out. J'rhaskir sent his own warriors to the woods to take out the entirety of the keeper clan, and bring him the head of Adel. One of these warriors was J'khobi, sired by J'rhaskir himself. The golden haired and red-eyed arcanist prodigy swore to take down the keeper matriarch with a small team of hunters, each gifted in the art of offensive magic. Even though half of the tribe wished to call a truce and stop the sudden attacks, J'rhaskir agreed, sending the boy into the Shroud to murder Adel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The seeker's ambuscade would have been devastating had J'khobi and his hunters been more patient. Instead of killing Adel, they killed her daughter Lahlih. Lahlih's mate Rihkk'a dove in to protect Adel and Lahlih, yet, seeing his love fall drove him into a rage and he tore apart the hunters before J'khobi put a dagger in the keeper's throat. J'khobi was outmatched by Adel, who bound the seeker and imprisoned him and mourned the death of her daughter. Lahlih and Rihkk'a left behind many daughters and one son. All of them swore revenge, but none sought it greater than the young male. He met with Adel and offered his entire being to take down J'rhaskir... and a plan was hatched.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Khujato.jpg|center|Khujato.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
The greatest of magical glamours can cover a person who has a vast aether capacity. By what only could be divine coincidence, Lahlih's son was the same age and build of the seeker assassin J'khobi. With the help of the strongest mages in the Adel's clan, they would teach the keeper boy to become J'khobi, covering his body in a glamour to fool the seekers into believing ''he'' was the son of J'rhaskir. And when the time was right, the keeper boy would take his revenge and return. With the glamour stable and learning all he could of the real seeker, he set out to find the Emberclaw Tribe, telling J'rhaskir that he failed in killing the Matriarch Adel but had wounded her greatly. This satisfied the warrior of the sands, yet, he beat the glamoured seeker for his failure, regardless. Every sun he would serve the nuhn and his tribe without question. He was the rat of the tribe and though he was in pain, the keeper boy was patient. He would serve and protect his keeper family.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Something happened that the hidden keeper did not expect. Many of J'khobi's sisters as well as a few other hunters did not like the way J'rhaskir led them. The way he punished J'khobi and other hunters for their failure was frightening. No one was allowed to leave the tribe or trade without the nuhn's say. A plot soon developed by J'khobi's older brothers, J'dhoon and J'rhis, two Tias who journeyed farther than the nuhn allowed under the guise of &amp;quot;hunting missions.&amp;quot; They were, by all definition, adventurers in their own right and brought stories back to J'khobi, who, in turn showed them kindness and would cover for their long absence if J'rhaskir demanded their location. It was J'rhis who noticed a change in his once-impulsive young brother, yet... as the change was favorable, he did not question it. Together, the three planned to kill the nuhn while he slept...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dhoon and Rhis attacked first, cutting down the Emberclaw's hunters. Rhaskir erupted in a fury, brandishing his wicked axe at the seekers. Rhis pushed Khobi out of the way and was dealt a mortal wound. While J'rhaskir was distracted, J'khobi took the chance he was waiting for. With all of his aetherial power, the glamoured keeper struck J'rhaskir, blasting his body with violent shadow flares while Dhoon stabbed his nuhn through the chest. The Emberclaw hunters that remained loyal to their nuhn were outraged. J'khobi turned to see the rest of the tribe who looked on in shock. Fighting broke out and J'khobi and J'dhoon ran out of the tribe grounds and into the desert night. A terrible sandstorm summoned out of nowhere, and glamoured keeper boy was lost.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even the boy does not know how long he was in the desert alone. He had lost J'dhoon in the storm and all he could do was hunt for food and drink and try to not be burned by the sun or frozen by the night. He began to slowly lose himself in the heat and his mind clung to the story he had trianed himself to believe for the sake of his revenge... and he believed he really was J'khobi... that he was not at fault for the death of his nuhn. He forgot his keeper origins and even his glamour began to destabilize. One of his eyes turned to it's natural violet color, and his tail and hair began to revert to black. He wandered for suns until he collapsed in front of the jewel of the Thanalan, Ul'dah. Since his arrival, the jittery seeker remembers, ''&amp;quot;Serve and protect.&amp;quot;'' And so he would... he would heal the wounded strangers he meets and protect his new friends, hoping to mend his broken mind. On he lives without memory of his keeper origin.. and his family still prays for his safe return.&lt;br /&gt;

==Profile==&lt;br /&gt;
===Appearance===&lt;br /&gt;
J'khobi has long, jet-black hair with blond tips. His right eye is red while his left eye is violet and his cheeks are marked with simplistic tattoos. Growing up under the Sagoulii sun have darkly bronzed the skin of the seekers from Khobi's nomadic Jackal tribe. He can usually be seen wearing a white or cyan hempen undershirt with a brightly colored lace bow tied around his neck. He also wears nature colored culottes, leather shin guards, shoes and finger-less gloves. His medic outfit is vastly different: Sterile while and black gloves, tight leggings, and boots are worn to not only aid in handling most wounds, but prevent infection and blood from touching his skin. His white robs is especially unique; adorned not only with fancy white, black, and gold design, but also aetherial crystals to assist J'khobi if his own stores of aether are lacking. His prized possession, which the seeker wears on his forehead, is a custom-made tri-lens aetherometer than will display approximate aetherflow of whomever or whatever he is viewing. One of the lens appears to be faulty, however, as J'khobi cannot figure out it's function. The medicinal ensemble was a gift to the seeker after he cured the grand-daughter of Doctor Boris Lazarius from a rare strain of aetherial poison. The equipment belonged to the highlander doctor's son, who had died in the Calamity of the Sixth Astral Era.&lt;br /&gt;
===Personality===&lt;br /&gt;
'' &amp;quot;Has not been the same, ehe, uh... no. No! Not since the deserrrt. Find, I do, solace in healing otherrrs. Mebbe, as I do this? Heal myself, I do.&amp;quot; '' -J'khobi Tia&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
J'khobi is a very jittery miqo'te. His ears and tail often twitch at some invisible irritation and he has difficulties making sentences without stuttering or cackling to himself. The wide-eyed seeker sometimes has no sense of personal space or decorum as he examines strangers and their equipment with genuine fascination, often accidentally blinding them with the light given off by his aetherial optic. He flinches when touched and sometimes will stare into space for minutes at a time. His anxiety aside, J'khobi usually never hesitates when his services are needed and makes himself available to be there for his friends. While generally cheerful, he conceals his worries and loneliness to all except friends who ask him. It is the miqo'te's belief that as he cures the wounds of strangers and the world, he will simultaneously cure himself of his innate sorrow and wavering sanity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Combat==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:J'khobi_Medic.jpg|right|J'khobi_Medic.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
===Specialization===&lt;br /&gt;
'''Arcanist''' : It was a rare thing indeed for a seeker to be born with such high aetherial quantity and the nuhn of his tribe, J'rhaskir, did not hesitate in making J'khobi a valuable asset. Training from a young age, J'khobi was given selective reading and writing education and, of course, instruction on how to manipulate aether with an arcanist grimoire. Specifically, J'khobi studied the affects of aetherial poison from a traveling scholar named Zuzogin Zukagin. The seeker can bestow aetherial infection and remove it using the ink in his tome as a conduit with aetherflow and deal unaspected damage with his &amp;quot;aetherial ribbons.&amp;quot; Aside from offensive magicks, Khobi also deals heavily in the curative nature, providing succor to what ails his comrades and protecting them with magic shielding. His specialty, of course, is the remedying of poison, aetherial or otherwise. He was given a lot of practice in his life as a Tia from the sagoulii desert as his nuhn would overdose on drugs and poison alike and have Khobi heal him. J'rhaskir would repeat this often saying, aside from combat, this act made him feel more alive than ever.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
J'khobi is a very jittery miqo'te. His ears and tail often twitch at some invisible irritation and he has difficulties making sentences without stuttering or cackling to himself. The wide-eyed seeker sometimes has no sense of personal space or decorum as he examines strangers and their equipment with genuine fascination, often accidentally blinding them with the light given off by his aetherial optic. He flinches when touched and sometimes will stare into space for minutes at a time. His anxiety aside, J'khobi usually never hesitates when his services are needed and makes himself available to be there for his friends. While generally cheerful, he conceals his worries and loneliness to all except friends who ask him. It is the miqo'te's belief that as he cures the wounds of strangers and the world, he will simultaneously cure himself of his innate sorrow and wavering sanity.&lt;br /&gt;

===Specialization===&lt;br /&gt;
'''Arcanist''' : It was a rare thing indeed for a seeker to be born with such high aetherial quantity and the nuhn of his tribe, J'rhaskir, did not hesitate in making J'khobi a valuable asset. Training from a young age, J'khobi was given selective reading and writing education and, of course, instruction on how to manipulate aether with an arcanist grimoire. Specifically, J'khobi studied the affects of aetherial poison from a traveling scholar named Zuzogin Zukagin. The seeker can bestow aetherial infection and remove it using the ink in his tome as a conduit with aetherflow and deal unaspected damage with his &amp;quot;aetherial ribbons.&amp;quot; Aside from offensive magicks, Khobi also deals heavily in the curative nature, providing succor to what ails his comrades and protecting them with magic shielding. His specialty, of course, is the remedying of poison, aetherial or otherwise. He was given a lot of practice in his life as a Tia from the sagoulii desert as his nuhn would overdose on drugs and poison alike and have Khobi heal him. J'rhaskir would repeat this often saying, aside from combat, this act made him feel more alive than ever.&lt;br /&gt;

==Story==&lt;br /&gt;
{{spoiler}}&lt;br /&gt;
'' &amp;quot;Serve and protect, little star. Only you can do this. We will be in your heart and pray for you every night. When you look up at night, seek Menphina and know we are with you.&amp;quot; '' -Grandmother Adel&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It all began with the greed of the one they call J'rhaskir the Emberclaw. A Jackal from the Sagoulii who fancied himself a God of war, he broke away to start his own tribe of hunters. In his blind ambition to be the most powerful sun-seeker alive, he sought any means for extra strength without recourse. This led him to be addicted to multiple powders and drugs, the best made by a clan of keeper miqo'te from the northern woods led by the mysterious Grandmother Adel. After trading too many resources for a combat stimulant, however, the Emberclaw's tribe began to suffer in a conflict against another seeker tribe that J'rhaskir had purposely agitated. He made a deal with Adel for supplies and powder. At the site of the exchange, instead of paying for the supplies with the agreed upon price, seeker warriors ambushed the keepers, killing them all and stealing the supplies, allowing J'rhaskir and his hunters to beat back his enemies in the Sagoulii.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Outraged, Adel because a shadow-war in accordance with her own creed: ''&amp;quot;The Path of Knives.&amp;quot;'' Capable assassins would journey to the Sagoulii, track down J'rhaskir, and kill him. While impulsive and reckless, the Emberclaw was no fool. Preparing for the keeper's counterattack, each assassin dispatched was taken out. J'rhaskir sent his own warriors to the woods to take out the entirety of the keeper clan, and bring him the head of Adel. One of these warriors was J'khobi, sired by J'rhaskir himself. The golden haired and red-eyed arcanist prodigy swore to take down the keeper matriarch with a small team of hunters, each gifted in the art of offensive magic. Even though half of the tribe wished to call a truce and stop the sudden attacks, J'rhaskir agreed, sending the boy into the Shroud to murder Adel.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Khujato.jpg|center|Khujato.jpg]]&lt;br /&gt;
The seeker's ambuscade would have been devastating had J'khobi and his hunters been more patient. Instead of killing Adel, they killed her daughter Lahlih. Lahlih's mate Rihkk'a dove in to protect Adel and Lahlih, yet, seeing his love fall drove him into a rage and he tore apart the hunters before J'khobi put a dagger in the keeper's throat. J'khobi was outmatched by Adel, who bound the seeker and imprisoned him and mourned the death of her daughter. Lahlih and Rihkk'a left behind many daughters and one son. All of them swore revenge, but none sought it greater than the young male. He met with Adel and offered his entire being to take down J'rhaskir... and a plan was hatched.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The greatest of magical glamours can cover a person who has a vast aether capacity. By what only could be divine coincidence, Lahlih's son was the same age and build of the seeker assassin J'khobi. With the help of the strongest mages in the Adel's clan, they would teach the keeper boy to become J'khobi, covering his body in a glamour to fool the seekers into believing ''he'' was the son of J'rhaskir. And when the time was right, the keeper boy would take his revenge and return. With the glamour stable and learning all he could of the real seeker, he set out to find the Emberclaw Tribe, telling J'rhaskir that he failed in killing the Matriarch Adel but had wounded her greatly. This satisfied the warrior of the sands, yet, he beat the glamoured seeker for his failure, regardless. Every sun he would serve the nuhn and his tribe without question. He was the rat of the tribe and though he was in pain, the keeper boy was patient. He would serve and protect his keeper family.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Something happened that the hidden keeper did not expect. Many of J'khobi's sisters as well as a few other hunters did not like the way J'rhaskir led them. The way he punished J'khobi and other hunters for their failure was frightening. No one was allowed to leave the tribe or trade without the nuhn's say. A plot soon developed by J'khobi's older brothers, J'dhoon and J'rhis, two Tias who journeyed farther than the nuhn allowed under the guise of &amp;quot;hunting missions.&amp;quot; They were, by all definition, adventurers in their own right and brought stories back to J'khobi, who, in turn showed them kindness and would cover for their long absence if J'rhaskir demanded their location. It was J'rhis who noticed a change in his once-impulsive young brother, yet... as the change was favorable, he did not question it. Together, the three planned to kill the nuhn while he slept...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dhoon and Rhis attacked first, cutting down the Emberclaw's hunters. Rhaskir erupted in a fury, brandishing his wicked axe at the seekers. Rhis pushed Khobi out of the way and was dealt a mortal wound. While J'rhaskir was distracted, J'khobi took the chance he was waiting for. With all of his aetherial power, the glamoured keeper struck J'rhaskir, blasting his body with violent shadow flares while Dhoon stabbed his nuhn through the chest. The Emberclaw hunters that remained loyal to their nuhn were outraged. J'khobi turned to see the rest of the tribe who looked on in shock. Fighting broke out and J'khobi and J'dhoon ran out of the tribe grounds and into the desert night. A terrible sandstorm summoned out of nowhere, and glamoured keeper boy was lost.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even the boy does not know how long he was in the desert alone. He had lost J'dhoon in the storm and all he could do was hunt for food and drink and try to not be burned by the sun or frozen by the night. He began to slowly lose himself in the heat and his mind clung to the story he had trianed himself to believe for the sake of his revenge... and he believed he really was J'khobi... that he was not at fault for the death of his nuhn. He forgot his keeper origins and even his glamour began to destabilize. One of his eyes turned to it's natural violet color, and his tail and hair began to revert to black. He wandered for suns until he collapsed in front of the jewel of the Thanalan, Ul'dah. Since his arrival, the jittery seeker remembers, ''&amp;quot;Serve and protect.&amp;quot;'' And so he would... he would heal the wounded strangers he meets and protect his new friends, hoping to mend his broken mind. On he lives without memory of his keeper origin.. and his family still prays for his safe return.&lt;br /&gt;

==Profile==&lt;br /&gt;
===Appearance===&lt;br /&gt;
J'khobi has long, jet-black hair with blond tips. His right eye is red while his left eye is violet and his cheeks are marked with simplistic tattoos. Growing up under the Sagoulii sun have darkly bronzed the skin of the seekers from Khobi's nomadic Jackal tribe. He can usually be seen wearing a white or cyan hempen undershirt with a brightly colored lace bow tied around his neck. He also wears nature colored culottes, leather shin guards, shoes and finger-less gloves. His medic outfit is vastly different: Sterile while and black gloves, tight leggings, and boots are worn to not only aid in handling most wounds, but prevent infection and blood from touching his skin. His white robs is especially unique; adorned not only with fancy white, black, and gold design, but also aetherial crystals to assist J'khobi if his own stores of aether are lacking. His prized possession, which the seeker wears on his forehead, is a custom-made tri-lens aetherometer than will display approximate aetherflow of whomever or whatever he is viewing. One of the lens appears to be faulty, however, as J'khobi cannot figure out it's function. The medicinal ensemble was a gift to the seeker after he cured the grand-daughter of Doctor Boris Lazarius from a rare strain of aetherial poison. The equipment belonged to the highlander doctor's son, who had died in the Calamity of the Sixth Astral Era.&lt;br /&gt;

==Profile==&lt;br /&gt;
===Appearance===&lt;br /&gt;
J'khobi has long, jet-black hair with blond tips. His right eye is red while his left eye is violet and his cheeks are marked with simplistic tattoos. Growing up under the Sagoulii sun have darkly bronzed the skin of the seekers from Khobi's nomadic Jackal tribe. He can usually be seen wearing a white or cyan hempen undershirt with a brightly colored lace bow tied around his neck. He also wears nature colored culottes, leather shin guards, shoes and finger-less gloves. His medic outfit is vastly different: Sterile while and black gloves, tight leggings, and boots are worn to not only aid in handling most wounds, but prevent infection and blood from touching his skin. His white robs is especially unique; adorned not only with fancy white, black, and gold design, but also aetherial crystals to assist J'khobi if his own stores of aether are lacking. His prized possession, which the seeker wears on his forehead, is a custom-made tri-lens aetherometer than will display approximate aetherflow of whomever or whatever he is viewing. One of the lens appears to be faulty, however, as J'khobi cannot figure out it's function. The medicinal ensemble was a gift to the seeker after he cured the grand-daughter of Doctor Boris Lazarius from a rare strain of aetherial poison. The equipment belonged to the highlander doctor's son, who had died in the Calamity of the Sixth Astral Era.&lt;br /&gt;
===Personality===&lt;br /&gt;
'' &amp;quot;Has not been the same, ehe, uh... no. No! Not since the deserrrt. Find, I do, solace in healing otherrrs. Mebbe, as I do this? Heal myself, I do.&amp;quot; '' -J'khobi Tia&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
J'khobi is a very jittery miqo'te. His ears and tail often twitch at some invisible irritation and he has difficulties making sentences without stuttering or cackling to himself. The wide-eyed seeker sometimes has no sense of personal space or decorum as he examines strangers and their equipment with genuine fascination, often accidentally blinding them with the light given off by his aetherial optic. He flinches when touched and sometimes will stare into space for minutes at a time. His anxiety aside, J'khobi usually never hesitates when his services are needed and makes himself available to be there for his friends. While generally cheerful, he conceals his worries and loneliness to all except friends who ask him. It is the miqo'te's belief that as he cures the wounds of strangers and the world, he will simultaneously cure himself of his innate sorrow and wavering sanity.&lt;br /&gt;
