General Info

General

Y'uraq is a young, and spirited Sun Seeker miqo'te currently living his life to the fullest. From researching tomestones and translated texts to the possible locations of lost Allagan artifacts, to indulging his creative side as an aspiring artisan, and design the most unique, elegant, and sought jewelry and fashion through weaving and goldsmithing. While certainly on the Bashful side, Y'uraq is generally friendly to those he's come across in his travels. As far as doing whatever he feels is right for those he cares for, he is loyal to a fault. No matter how certain the dangers may be, Y'uraq has had no hesitation putting himself in harm's way and stand his ground with those who can't stand on their own, or mend their wounds through conjury and lesser healing magic with the best of his abilities, should circumstances allow it.

Y'uraq has no love for unnecessary conflict, unfortunately his travels have often faced him with unpleasant situations, from thwarting a bandit in Eastern Thanalan, to defusing what could had been an explosive, and disastrous barfight with a hulking roegadyn at the shifting sands.

Appearance & Personality

At just an ilm over six fulms, Y'uraq stands slightly taller than the average male sun seeker miqo'te. His darker complexion suggest he is indeed, no stranger to the sun as well. As tall as he may be, Y'uraq's physical strength isn't as strong at it could be, as he never recalled being a Nunh before losing his memories. though his strength as limited as it is, has shown gradual improvements since training to wield a sword and shield under the gladiator's guild, and just sufficient enough to train under the sultanguard. His high spirits and energies radiate through his youthful face, with sharp, dark amber eyes partly glinting in the light, the rest is concealed by his dark hairs at some parts of his face, while leaving others revealed to onlookers. Two longer bangs hanging down on both opposite sides of his head with his pointed furry ears slightly leaning toward the back of his head. What he lacks in brute strength, he compensates for in other terms.

When he's not upset over the uncertainties of his past or looking up all he can about a fabled Allagan piece of technology he believes to be real, Y'uraq is generally upbeat and welcoming around his friends and strangers alike, until they give him a reason not to. To his dismay, Y'uraq is more driven by his emotions than by logical means, justifying his sensitive tendencies as "instincts". Call it as he might, it does very little to mask his true, gentle nature from those he's tried to convince.

Since his travels, Y'uraq has been advanced on by both men and women along his journey, which has also re-kindled some vain, and border-line effeminate tendencies about his appearance, not also limited to his interests in jewlery and fine embroidery, which soon protruded into his discovered interest in fine, and elegant fashion.

In times of confrontations and certain conflict, Y'uraq's cheerful and harmless mindset shifts into that of a stalwart defender. Focused, fearless, and unhesitating to lay himself in harm's way to fight and protect those dear to him, even if he's not carrying a shield to protect himself with. Despite his lacking physical strength, Y'uraq has been noted by witnesses to fight with a steeled heart and calculated precision when armed with a sword and shield.

Fashion

Y'uraq's flamboyant tendencies has made him develop an unusual concern with his style of fashion as well. Preferring to put style with some subtle elegance into both his casual and battle attire, while also keeping comfort and practicality in mind. Y'uraq prefers to have his own clothes, armor, and jewelry made to his to meet his own personal tastes. He is very often seen donning trinkets of all kinds over himself on some place or other.

Whether it's an excursion into sahagin territory, or fighting off Garlean remnants in La Noscea, or even if it's something as simple as gathering herbs around La Noscea's wilderness, or a night of leisure, Y'uraq likes to dress to impress.

Occupation

Since his travels begun, Y'uraq has delved into almost any sort of task that would earn him the necessary gil to not starve, or sleep under the stars every night. As his swordsmanship has improved, Y'uraq has been able to offer himself as an accomplished sell sword to fellow travelers and excursionists, which has earned him even more success, and a fairly comfortable home to call his own as well as getting to enjoy some of life's leisures every now and again.

In his personal time, Y'uraq has also developed an deep curiosity for the mysteries, legends, wonders, and dangers found over Eorzea's past and present. In result, he spends much of his time researching and travelling to ancient ruins, dig sites, and libraries from Limsa, to Gridania, from Ul'dah to Coerthas. Y'uraq's love for books and knowledge has earned him a special interest scholarly pursuits.

Y'uraq's Journal

A Stranger in a Strange Land

(Nov 16, 2014 - Jan 6, 2015 - 2.4) - A sad mystery turned into a grand journey for a lost wanderer.

(WIP)

Allagan Echoes

(Jan 14, 2015 - February 8, 2015 - 2.5) - Seeking to find a greater purpose in his new life, Y'uraq turns to the distant past in search of answers for his uncertain future. ...

• Y'uraq has been overwhelmed researching over a lost Allagan artifact for the past moon, only to find dead ends as every scholar and archeologist from the Sons of St. Coinach deemed it as mere "fable". Regardless, Y'uraq has been making frequent trips between La Noscea and Mor Dhona, in search of anything that might suggest otherwise. His trips have usually included a night or two in Gridania on the way.
• In his efforts to understand the links between Allag and the voidsent as well as their potential dangers, Y'uraq has enlisted under the Thaumaturge's guild guidance in Ul'dah

A Local in a Familiar Land

(February 8, 2015 - April 23, 2015 - 2.5) - A second journey across Eorzea turned leisure to self-reflection.

Under the advice of his fellows of the 81st, Y'uraq took a much needed break from his overwhelmingly daunting research and took back to the roads of Eorzea. But Unlike his first known experience as a lost wanderer, Y'uraq was able to revisit familiar sights from his first journey with ease. In addition, he was able to spend more time further familiarizing himself personally with each regions and their respective city-states, while also taking interest in new hobbies and skills. From training with the marauders guild and learning the art of patience from the master fishermen of La Noscea, to perfecting his archery and further appreciation for the land through botany in the Twelveswood, to honing his physical combat through pugilism and mining in Thanalan.

Despite his efforts to distract himself with leisure travel and activities, Y'uraq's second trip across Eorzea didn't unfold without some reminders of his first journey as a stranger in a strange land. Despite his own past hardships, Y'uraq has been able to look back for the first time since that fateful day and realizing how far he's made it mostly by his instincts, and through the guidance of some kind strangers he's come across in his travels up to that point. His feelings of accomplishment were cut shot as Y'uraq began to realize the mystery that surrounded his circumstances still haunted his present life. Regardless of the unfortunate circumstances that still afflict him, Y'uraq seized his present situation and took extended stays in each region, exploring sights and places he may have missed or overlooked during his first journey, to mingling and interacting with more of the locals, and even partaking in events and festivities happening during his stays. Despite this previous fortune with side quests and encounters in his first journey, none of his new experiences availed more lost memories for Y'uraq, his efforts have been for naught.

Despite his efforts to unwind and renew himself from his travels, Y'uraq felt more discouraged than ever before, in no real hurry to report back to his crewmates in La Noscea. He entered through the Gates of Thal, unconsciously re-enacting his first moments in the city, only the night was setting in. Y'uraq decided to wander through the city one last time before making his way to the airship landing high above the city. Y'uraq took to the busy streets and wandered his way through the markets rows to Catching up with some of his old friends back at the gladiator's guild.

(WIP)

Having made his decision he boarded the airship from Ul'dah, and back to La Noscea.

Even though his own decision to resign from his crew in La Noscea wasn't an easy one to make, It very was clear to him that his answers, his home, and his true calling are all waiting in the deserts of Thanalan.

(CURRENT ARC - Title Pending)

(April 27, 2015 - present) - Y'uraq's life prior to his mysterious awakening in the badlands of Central Thanalan remains a mystery to him. With only his instincts and his fragmented memories to guide him, Y'uraq decides to return to the arid lands where his adventure began.

Current Occurences

• Through his instincts, Y'uraq has carried through with his decision to return back to Ul'dah along with all of his worldly belongings.
• Y'uraq moved to a new home in the Goblet in a large house he shares with a free company of adventurers, The Fireborn.
• After settling in and becoming acquainted with his new fellows, Y'uraq now seeks to resume his own scholarly pursuits, but not without a master's guidance. He has resumed to reading and learning from basic texts and encyclopedias until he finds something worth his interests. In his leisure time, Y'uraq has been taking to the Streets of Ul'dah, often seen with a drink in his hand at the Quicksand.
