X'tai is quick to forgive, and even quicker to come to someone's rescue, even a possible enemy. He will ramble on for hours when presented with the topics of magic or insects - two subjects at which he is most often found in study.

■ A fist-sized scar on his left side midsection, with a corresponding exit wound on his back<br>
■ Lightly tanned skin, blue-black hair that is perpetually uncombed<br>
■ Tattoos on left bicep and right side of his neck (Tribal swirls and sigil of Oschon respectively)<br>
■ Scars covering his left hand that resemble scales

<h2 style="border-color:!!!HEADER-COLOR; font-family:'palatino linotype'; font-size:25px; color:#75B4DF">Clothing ❧</h2>
Tai's clothes are often simple; a loose shirt and baggy kecks. Anything that allows him to run away faster.<br>
Often he can be seen in more flashy attire that his children or Athrun have picked for him.

<h2 style="border-color:!!!HEADER-COLOR; font-family:'palatino linotype'; font-size:25px; color:#75B4DF">Voice ❧</h2>
X'tai's voice is a rich tenor, smooth from years of singing.
<br>As the seeker was disciplined in arcanistry, he chooses to manipulate aether through variations in vocal pitch and tone, singing his spells rather than using incantations. So unconscious is the effort now in raising magic this way that motes shaped like tiny moths tend to gather around him when he sings casually as well.

<h2 style="border-color:!!!HEADER-COLOR; font-family:'palatino linotype'; font-size:25px; color:#75B4DF">Habits ❧</h2>
Tai has a habit of idly chewing on quills, leaving his clothes on the floor and being generally messy. <br>
In addition to this he also makes poor snap decisions and gets overly zealous when he's fixated on study - often to the point of not eating.<br>
Tai sings when he's idle, which is often when he's out and about.

Tai's worldview centers around the idea that people aren't inherently bad. His ability to see the best in people, and perhaps he imagines that his generous nature lends itself to inspire others to be nicer to one another. His outlook does tend to occlude his ability to see the underhand dealings of some of his friends, though.

<h2 style="margin-top:0px; border-color:!!!HEADER-COLOR; font-family:'palatino linotype'; font-size:25px; color:!!!HEADER-COLOR">Childhood ❧</h2>
From the Gyr Abanian Lynx tribe, X'tai was the first son born to X'arj Nunh. In the rush to flee the mad kin, Tai's still-pregnant mother took several huntresses with her to live on an island under the rule of X'aka Nunh in the Cieldalaes Isles. As shildren though, X'tai and his sister X'kett would swim together and surf, as well as explore the tunnels beneath the island at low tide. The tunnels were also inhabited by tunnel worms and the duo often had to flee back to the safety of their tribe.

<h2 style="border-color:!!!HEADER-COLOR; font-family:'palatino linotype'; font-size:25px; color:!!!HEADER-COLOR">Teenage ❧</h2>
X'tai was tasked with assisting his mother in teaching the youngsters of the tribe in their small makeshift school. When his mother disappeared, Tai was forced to take up her duties in order to earn his keep: catching and killing the various insects that threatened the crops. He discovered early on that the insect parts he gathered could be brewed into alchemical concoctions with the discarded brewers equipment he salvaged, and furthermore, he began a habit of observing and recording the behaviors of the insects. It has been hinted that Tai used a Diremite Pheromone to poison the pirates that were visiting X'aka Nunh in readiness to begin a shipping contract. His father's wrath at being the accused poisoner would be the cause of Tai's expulsion from the island, and exile to Eorzea.

<h2 style="border-color:!!!HEADER-COLOR; font-family:'palatino linotype'; font-size:25px; color:!!!HEADER-COLOR">Present ❧</h2>
About a year after his arrival in Thanalan, Tai dropped his tribal letter and took on a more descriptive surname, Aubade, meaning Morning Song.<br>

After seeing his brother become injured so often from their shared adventures, the scholar decided he needed a more stable lifestyle and chose to open a free clinic in the Goblet. Despite Tai's intentions, life at the clinic was hectic, and plagues, strange mutations and even bloodcurses wreaked havoc on the tiny building.<br>
After debt collectors hounded Tai into hiding the tia was forced to return to his tribe for a time, reuniting with his father and regaining his tribal name. He has since adopted three children and inducted them, and his partner, into the lynxes.

<br>
From the Gyr Abanian Lynx tribe, X'tai ('Tai' for short) was the first son born to X'arj Nunh. Despite this, he was spirited away with his mother and other random huntresses to live on an island under the rule of X'aka Nunh in the Cieldalaes Isles. His 'father' ran a bootlegging and farming operation with his 25 huntresses and their children, running booze (and infomation) to pirate operations and certain organisations in Limsa Lominsa. When his mother disappeared, Tai was forced to take up her duties in order to earn his keep: catching and killing the various insects that threatened the crops. He discovered early on that the insect parts he gathered could be brewed into alchemical concoctions with the discarded brewers equipment he salvaged, and furthermore, he began a habit of observing and recording the behaviors of the insects. It has been hinted that Tai used a Diremite Pheromone to poison the pirates that were visiting X'aka Nunh in readiness to begin a shipping contract. His father's wrath at being the accused poisoner would be the cause of Tai's expulsion from the island, and exile to Eorzea.
<br><br>
About a year after his arrival in Thanalan, Tai dropped his tribal letter and took on a more descriptive surname, ''Aubade,'' meaning ''Morning Song''.<br> <br>
After seeing his brother become injured so often from their shared adventures, the scholar decided he needed a more stable lifestyle and chose to open a free clinic in the Goblet. It supports itself through gifts and fundraisers and the generous donations of a man named Worren Tigre. Despite Tai's intentions, life at the clinic was hectic, and plagues, strange mutations and even bloodcurses wreaked havoc on the tiny building.
<br>
After debt collectors hounded Tai into hiding the tia was forced to return to his tribe for a time, reuniting with his father and regaining his tribal name. He has since adopted three children and inducted them, and his partner, into the lynxes.

=== '''♦ Behaviour''' ===
</span></font></span><hr>
<br>
Tai's worldview centers around the idea that people aren't inherently bad. His ability to see the best in people, and perhaps he imagines that his generous nature lends itself to inspire others to be nicer to one another. His outlook does tend to occlude his ability to see the underhand dealings of some members of his Free Company, though. X'tai is quick to forgive, and even quicker to come to someone's rescue, even a possible enemy. He will ramble on for hours when presented with the topics of magic or insects - two subjects at which he is most often found in study.

As Tai was disciplined in arcanistry, he chooses to manipulate aether through variations in vocal pitch and tone, singing his spells rather than using incantations. So unconscious is the effort now in raising magic this way that motes shaped like tiny moths tend to gather around him when he sings casually as well. Lately his grip on arcanic healing has faltered, leading him to seek alternative methods of healing.

Tai is quick to smile, and often masks his troubles with goofy behavior. He is easily embarrassed and often awkward around strangers.

Despite his best intentions, Tai makes bad snap decisions. Whether it is impatience or fear guiding the choices, they often result in unforeseen consequences; see also "bad decision roulette".

Blue moths often follow the scholar around, which seems to raise his brother's stress levels considerably for some reason.

Until recently, Tai would hang back, trying to keep out of conflicts and instead support his friends with healing magics. More recently though, his ability to structure and construct arcanic spells was shaken, and as a result he can only tap into a wilder, more dangerous aether. Under the tutelage of another redmage, X'rhun Tia, he has been more able to control it. Even so, he's not quite as combat-effective as the tia would like and is ever ready to receive pointers.

'''Bad Decision Roulette -''' Among the many bad decisions Tai has made as a result of snap decisions or ham-handed attempts to save people are:
:<font style="color:#2C3539" size="3">■</font> Taking on an almost lethal amount of corruption in order to save and redeem an enemy.
:<font style="color:#2C3539" size="3">■</font> Handing a monster-summoning device to a corrupt official
:<font style="color:#2C3539" size="3">■</font> Assisting a friend in infiltrating a beastmen stronghold to rescue a tempered child (intent on experimenting on the child to reverse the process)
:<font style="color:#2C3539" size="3">■</font> Entrusting a known dangerous summoner with a grimoire of forbidden knowledge.
:<font style="color:#2C3539" size="3">■</font> Giving a strong aphrodisiac to the care of a man intending on using it in revenge.

=== '''♦ General''' ===
</span></span><hr>
<br>
From the Gyr Abanian Lynx tribe, X'tai ('Tai' for short) was the first son born to X'arj Nunh. Despite this, he was spirited away with his mother and other random huntresses to live on an island under the rule of X'aka Nunh in the Cieldalaes Isles. His 'father' ran a bootlegging and farming operation with his 25 huntresses and their children, running booze (and infomation) to pirate operations and certain organisations in Limsa Lominsa. When his mother disappeared, Tai was forced to take up her duties in order to earn his keep: catching and killing the various insects that threatened the crops. He discovered early on that the insect parts he gathered could be brewed into alchemical concoctions with the discarded brewers equipment he salvaged, and furthermore, he began a habit of observing and recording the behaviors of the insects. It has been hinted that Tai used a Diremite Pheromone to poison the pirates that were visiting X'aka Nunh in readiness to begin a shipping contract. His father's wrath at being the accused poisoner would be the cause of Tai's expulsion from the island, and exile to Eorzea.
<br><br>
About a year after his arrival in Thanalan, Tai dropped his tribal letter and took on a more descriptive surname, ''Aubade,'' meaning ''Morning Song''.<br> <br>
After seeing his brother become injured so often from their shared adventures, the scholar decided he needed a more stable lifestyle and chose to open a free clinic in the Goblet. It supports itself through gifts and fundraisers and the generous donations of a man named Worren Tigre. Despite Tai's intentions, life at the clinic was hectic, and plagues, strange mutations and even bloodcurses wreaked havoc on the tiny building.
<br>
After debt collectors hounded Tai into hiding the tia was forced to return to his tribe for a time, reuniting with his father and regaining his tribal name. He has since adopted three children and inducted them, and his partner, into the lynxes.

=== '''♦ Behaviour''' ===
</span></font></span><hr>
<br>
Tai's worldview centers around the idea that people aren't inherently bad. His ability to see the best in people, and perhaps he imagines that his generous nature lends itself to inspire others to be nicer to one another. His outlook does tend to occlude his ability to see the underhand dealings of some members of his Free Company, though. X'tai is quick to forgive, and even quicker to come to someone's rescue, even a possible enemy. He will ramble on for hours when presented with the topics of magic or insects - two subjects at which he is most often found in study.

As Tai was disciplined in arcanistry, he chooses to manipulate aether through variations in vocal pitch and tone, singing his spells rather than using incantations. So unconscious is the effort now in raising magic this way that motes shaped like tiny moths tend to gather around him when he sings casually as well. Lately his grip on arcanic healing has faltered, leading him to seek alternative methods of healing.

Tai is quick to smile, and often masks his troubles with goofy behavior. He is easily embarrassed and often awkward around strangers.

Despite his best intentions, Tai makes bad snap decisions. Whether it is impatience or fear guiding the choices, they often result in unforeseen consequences; see also "bad decision roulette".

Blue moths often follow the scholar around, which seems to raise his brother's stress levels considerably for some reason.

Until recently, Tai would hang back, trying to keep out of conflicts and instead support his friends with healing magics. More recently though, his ability to structure and construct arcanic spells was shaken, and as a result he can only tap into a wilder, more dangerous aether. Under the tutelage of another redmage, X'rhun Tia, he has been more able to control it. Even so, he's not quite as combat-effective as the tia would like and is ever ready to receive pointers.

'''Bad Decision Roulette -''' Among the many bad decisions Tai has made as a result of snap decisions or ham-handed attempts to save people are:
:<font style="color:#2C3539" size="3">■</font> Taking on an almost lethal amount of corruption in order to save and redeem an enemy.
:<font style="color:#2C3539" size="3">■</font> Handing a monster-summoning device to a corrupt official
:<font style="color:#2C3539" size="3">■</font> Assisting a friend in infiltrating a beastmen stronghold to rescue a tempered child (intent on experimenting on the child to reverse the process)
:<font style="color:#2C3539" size="3">■</font> Entrusting a known dangerous summoner with a grimoire of forbidden knowledge.
:<font style="color:#2C3539" size="3">■</font> Giving a strong aphrodisiac to the care of a man intending on using it in revenge.
