Xiv looks at the world around him with fascination and wonder, as if seeing almost everything for the first time. Quite tall for a Miqo'te and muscular. While not really of body-builder size but rather that of a hard-working athlete. His dark skin is surprisingly smooth and his features are rather delicate, almost uncannily so for someone who has had a rough life on the streets. When looking at him you can tell that he cares about his apperance, his hair is almost always feathery-soft and his clothes clean and well-kept. ••••••••• Xiv loves learning new things and absorbs knowledge like a sponge. He is always seen with a smile on his face and is friendly and open to everyone he meets. Very confident in his abilities, if it wasn't for his lighthearted disposition he would probably be seen as very arrogant and stuck-up. He geniunely enjoys helping people, in his own way.

-TRAINING-

Xiv was trained by "Old Man" in the ways of the Monk. Strong and confident, he faces any threat head on without fear. On the battlefield he is focused and calculating, taking down his opponents with exact kicks and punches. While he is proficient with weapons, he prefers to battle either completely unarmed or with knuckle dusters. To keep himself in good physical condition Xiv does a lot of different exercises that he tries to combine with his adventurer-work. Xiv's biggest source of income is doing jobs for the Immortal Flames, usually the off-road monster-hunting kind. He also frequently visit the other Grand Companies as well as Notice Boards to see if there is anything he can do for coin ••••••••• Old Man taught Xiv the value of being flexible, hence, Xiv is a sort of Jack of all trades and Master of none, except for the Monk style. ■ Spears: "Stabsticks" as Xiv calls them. He has been training off and on with them a while, his skill is moderate. ■ Axes: Not his favorite. He can swing one well-enough to cut down trees or enemies, but nearly not as well as with the spear. ■ Pickaxe: A recent favorite, Xiv consider it to be good training in hacking away at rocks. While his technique might be good, his eye for actually finding the precious gems is lacking to say the least. ■ Mathemagics: Xiv recently started to study how to heal people from the Arcanist guild. He has made some progress and can do simpler spells to close wounds and ease pain, Jino'ya has also been helping him.

-THE STORY-

► Childhood ::. Both his parents, his older sisters and brother were killed by Garlean soldiers when he was about 7 years old. Somehow he managed to get to Ul'dah and ended up living on the streets there. Stealing what he needed, he was soon picked up by a small street gang. ► Teens ::. His entire adolescence is a bit of a blur as he spent most of it high on all kinds of drugs. Always in the search for money for his next fix, there as no limit as to the things he would do to get it. Whoring, stealing, mudering. He even killed members of his own gang only to get to their stashes. A few attempts was made on his own life as well, but he managed to escape from it by the hairs of his tail. ► Present ::. After the Calamity, Xiv decided it was time to change his way of life. He tried to enlist with the Pugilist guild but was thrown out as he could barely stand or talk straight. He was found crying outside their gates by Old Man who decided to take the ragged Miqo'te in. Old Man taught Xiv how to care both for his body and his mind as he trained him in the ways of the Monk. Five years after the Calamity, his mentor passed away from old age, leaving Xiv all his belongings.
