Basics

Server: Balmung

Name: X'vett Nunh (Pronounced She-vet-th )

Age: 27

Height: 5'8.2"

Eye colour: Amber

Hair colour: Dark Auburn

Appearance: X'vett is fairly tall for a Miqo'te, often towering over his friends and tribemates. He has long hair that reaches past his shoulders and a floofy tail. He has a fair amount of freckles on his face, though on the rest of his body it is far more noticeable as they cover every inch of his body and can near be a skintone of its own. Sometimes he will have lipstick, facepaint or his hair up in ponytails because his daughters get a hold of him and paint him up before he leaves for the day. He never has the heart to wash it off, and isn't embarrassed by it, simply because he knows they were proud of their work and he doesn't want them to be sad to see him come home without it on.

He is not very toned, but he is muscular. Mostly at his shoulders, back and arms as he hunts with a bow and arrow most often, and has built up strength there from drawing a bow every day.

He has a couple of old scars on his left cheek from a bad run in with a wolf while hunting.

Vett walks with an off gait, and often limps. In the evening it's more obvious he's limping despite him trying to cover it up.

Clothing: Vett used to not wear too much, saying he didn't want to block Azeyma out, but recently he has been wearing quite a bit of clothing, usually loose cloth. It's never anything extravagant, nor constricting.

Personality

X'vett is a big awkward baby to put it simply.

Overly cautious and uneasy about those in the city, as well as the city itself, it can be hard to get him to open up and be himself. Eventually he will get comfortable with a few people, however it's not often at all and he will choose to stand far off when talking to someone and only come closer when they either invite him into their space or they come into his.

Because he is uncomfortable about how he may be viewed by those in the city, he rarely tells anyone he is Nunh. The misconceptions of his place in the tribe and the title being abused by others have led those he meets to assume he's either a sex addict, or at very worst, a rapist. He is terrified to come off as that, so he takes every precaution to avoid even the slightest hint that he is like that in any way whatsoever.

When he befriends and trusts someone, he isn't as nervous unless he has a solid reason to be. He will often track those he likes down by scent just to see them, share stories and just generally want to be in their company. He doesn't mind if they're paying him no attention, he just wants them around.

You'll know that he fully trusts and respects you something dear when he knocks foreheads with you and prolongs it, as he is saying 'you are part of my heart' with the action. He'll usually close his eyes to show this trust as well, as it is a silent indicator that he trusts you fully and doesn't need to keep an eye on you when you're so intimately close.

Tribal info

(my thoughts on it at least, it's ever changing)

Vett's tribe lives East of Camp Drybone and in the Shroud near Gridania. Where a Goobbue rests and nourishes the plant life is where Vett lives, though he visits in the Shroud to see the rest of his family. Spreading their territory lead to Thanalan, and Vett followed to follow the sun there. It was too rainy in the Shroud for him, though he found Thanalan was no different. They left the Shroud shortly after the Calamity, and have lived in Thanalan ever since. Mainly, they hunt the Aldgoat surrounding the area, and less often have to slay the hounds to preserve their own food source.

There are multiple Nunh in Vett's tribe, and it is the tribeswoman's job to choose her Nunh when she wants to mother a child. Vett has six children so far(five girls and one boy), while the others who have been Nunh longer than he has have quite a few more.

He takes special care to make sure his mates are comfortable, and will go out of his way to make her so. He can sometimes be a goof, wrestling with his mate and losing, telling jokes, laughing, and the like. He always feels honoured that he was chosen to father a child, as it is a huge privilege and compliment to him.

Vett stays with the mother throughout pregnancy, and will be present for the birth. Often, he is the one to name the child, though it's not uncommon for the mother to want another name. He usually looks for approval before coming to a final decision.

He doesn't get much time away from the tribe, since he has a responsibility to the tribe first and foremost. He gets little day passes, though, near three times a week as do the other Nunhs, to go and do as they please so long as they return before sunset. While not on these passes, he stays home to watch his children while the women go hunting.

Vett became Nunh like many others had; he challenged the one before him and came out victorious. He challenged him because he wanted children, badly. He doesn't want his linage to die out and the only way to continue it without betraying his tribe was to become Nunh himself. He takes his job as a responsibility that it is, and does his best to lead by example and teach those around him. And so, he made it known he was going to challenge X'nato, and a few of the women who he had upset went to Vett's side to support him.

X'vett won because he was cunning, not due completely to physical strength. He outwit X'nato and won in a fair fight. He refused to kill him, and instead brought him to surrender.

He currently has six children as follows:

X’noha Tia (3)

X’luka Vett (2)

X’korolon Vett (near one year)

X’tandhaa Vett (less than a year)

X’zentsa Vett (less than a year)

X’davzzi Vett (less than a year)

The gap between the ages of his first two children as opposed to the three youngest is because Vett was still only just proving he was worthy the title of Nunh. The women were unsure if he would truly give the strongest, healthiest children.

Once X’noha grew, he was proven strong, and more women in the tribe (instead of just the one who had supported him becoming Nunh in the first place) began to want children from him since they’d for sure be strong and benefit the tribe as they grew older.

Disability and physical limitations

He recently lost his left leg from the mid thigh down due to a run in with a cannibal craving a good steak, and using his trust and friendship against him, he lured Vett into his home and took the cut of meat he wanted. Because of this, Vett is fairly nervous around Roegadyns.

He paid a hefty fine for a blacksmith to fashion him a new leg that was lightweight and functional, as well as easy to hide. He took some time to pretty it up to make himself feel better, figuring that if it was more ascetically pleasing it wouldn't be as depressing. He can still feel his leg there from time to time, and will often scratch and itch or try to move his toes, which brings him near to tears when he is reminded his leg isn't there.

He is hesitant to tell his tribe about this disability of his, because he's afraid a Tia will use it against him to take his place and they won't truly be worthy of the title and responsibility.

He hides the metal prosthetic with loose dark pants and long tailcoats and a scarf (as seen in the photo above)just in case some of the metal bits show under the fabric. It's just for that extra 'no one will ever see this' comfort.

For reference on what his leg looks like, see the following photo here: [1] (soon I will be getting a couple of photo's for true reference on Vett's body from head to metal toe! I will update this photo and section when it arrives)

Due to the severity of the injury Vett has a hard time running and keeping up with others, and needs to take his time when walking or simply standing up. He is pretty prone to falls if he puts too much weight on the leg, though most often it's simply because the knee either locked up or didn't straighten out before he took his step and he just falls over.

Some days are better than others pain wise. It's either a constant annoyance, or agony. It tends to hurt the most at the end of the day after he's traveled or walked around a little more than he should have, or if he took a tumble down some stairs (again.)but most often he can cover it up and carry on his day.

Azeyma The Warden

X'vett holds a very dear place in his heart and entire life to Azeyma. He often feels lost and unprotected when the sun isn't out, and over long periods of bad weather he can easily get really down emotionally.

When the sun is shining, he doesn't like wearing a lot of clothes as he doesn't like blocking Azeyma's warmth. The sunlight is like a little hug from Azeyma herself, and Vett cherishes it. When the sun isn't out, he feels disconnected from her and often worries that the sun just won't come back and Azeyma has left them. He has an understanding that everything revolves around Azeyma and the sun, and it keeps them alive, fed, and healthy.

He gets up every morning to enjoy the sunrise, and will often 'sing the sun to sleep' when nightfall comes. It brings him peace in the time where Azeyma is gone, and he believes that song will bring her right back to them in morning.

Free Company

Vett joined a free company in hopes he would be able to better understand the world around him and in turn, better understand his friends, particularly Iggnasse. He's become friends with quite a few of the members, and even has private chambers at their company house that he never sleeps in. Mostly it's there because he wanted something totally his, where he can relax and do as he pleases.

So far, the Free Company has taught him a lot about the world, and had inspired him to take up magic and play around with it, though he quickly discovered he was quite good at it and continues to learn and practice.

He is still quite confused about the issues going on around him more recently, but he at least knows what's going on now rather than only being concerned with his tribe and new home. He now knows that in order to protect them, he needs to be aware of the world around him and be prepared for anyone or anything invading his home and hurting his family.

Relationships

X'vett is technically allowed to have relationships outside of the tribe, however, he is not allowed to procreate. He has a hard time making relationships outside of the tribe anyway, because most often others don't understand the rules and traditions, or are just not okay with the fact that he will continue to have mates within his tribe (only because he is Nunh, no actual romantic relationships are had so far in the tribe).

He craves romance above anything else that can be had in a relationship with others. Sex is seen to be reserved only to procreate to him, and he's still wrapping his head around the fact others tend to do it for fun 90% of the time. While he is not opposed to having recreational sex, he is cautious about the topic and prefers to have someone's love and trust before they get to that point. His insecurity with the loss of his leg and the fear that one wrong move will group him with the other Nunh he hears about and holds not respect for makes him take extra time to form relationships before anything.

He doesn't want to fall into what so many other Nunh have while they spent their time in the city. He has already been thought of to be a sex addict and at the very worst, a rapist. Their actions directly affect him, and he tries to lead by example rather than just saying he isn't like them. Actions speak louder than words, and because of other Nunh's actions, his need to be louder because he doesn't want to be anything like them.

Friends

He has a very select few friends, as it is hard to really trust others outside of the tribe for him unless he is given good reason. He has many acquaintances that he respects and holds dear, however aren't quite 'friends' yet.

Astro Mortim: He has only recently become close friends with Astro, and is still warming up to her. She holds a place in his heart now, however, as she was the first he had gone to in need to talk over how he felt when he lost his leg. He trusts her fully, and holds a great deal of respect for her.

Iggnasse Arbeau: Vett really didn't like him when they first met, as he came off as intrusive, selfish, and a liar. In time, he has warmed up to him and has become quite fond of him, even building an emotional relationship with him. Recently, after a long while apart they met again at his company's celebration and they got to bond again. Vett is overly cautious even around him, and feels he angers him with how careful he is when they have a more romantic relationship. Well, Vett assumes they have a romantic relationship, it has never been set in stone, but with the way his heart tugs and aches for Nasse when he isn't around, he assumes that is an indicator that he is attached to him in more than a friendship sense.

X'kohu Tia: X'kohu was a fairly close member of the tribe to Vett when they lived in the Shroud together. After the Calamity, they separated while Vett and near half of the tribe moved to take new territory in Thanalan, while the rest stay behind in the Shroud. They haven't spoken as much as they used to, however, Vett is still friendly with him and treats him like they hadn't been apart at all. If anyone were to surpass him, he'd want it to be X'kohu above anyone else.

S'vett Tia: Even Vett doesn't know why they are such close friends, but they just are. Often when they get together it's a disaster, such as when Astro and Nasse's drinks were drugged and the two didn't know how to help them and made a scene. Overall, Vett teases him quite a bit all in good intentions, and they build a small, but strong bond with each other.

Tyrenna Ulfrang: Vett met her in the Quicksand not too long ago, and despite the vast differences in their lives, they walk the same path in life and hold many of the same values. She quickly became a friend to him, and he holds a lot of respect for her.

B'ren Lyrgh: After finding him accidentally invading his home, Vett tried to set B'ren on fire. Despite the odd circumstances, Vett views him positively. He felt a sense of pride when B'ren mentioned he was a good, proper Nunh, and he wants to continue to set the good example now that he's sure that it really does shine through that he doesn't follow the same path as the others tend to.

X'Yue Tia: Even though X'yue is an outcast of the tribe due to circumstances he couldn't change, Vett still holds a fair amount of respect for him. They haven't really known each other too long into their adulthood, as Vett is a fair amount older than Yue is, but still he tries to stop and see him whenever their paths cross and treats him as he would any other member of the tribe. Despite his mothers actions, Vett still considers him a tribe member and doesn't agree or like how he had become an outcast in the first place. Their bond isn't a strong one, and hasn't been around long but it's there enough that Vett is comfortable with Yue.

Honzo: Well if it isn't my good friend Honzo! After he tried to set X'vett up with Tyrenna, they had actually become friends. Recently Vett attempted to teach him how to hunt in La Noscea, and he thinks it went well and that Honzo learnt something. Their friendship is still in the works, but Vett views him positively and looks forward to getting to know him over the time they meet.
