Appearance & Personality

Appearance:

Jino'ya is a short Miqo'te of lean build standing at 5 fulms and 2 ilms, weighing at 121 ponze. Pale skinned with delicate, lightly freckled features that border on almost feminine, his dark hair is kept short with a single braid at the back resting on the nape of his neck and a long fringe parted to the side of his face. No scars are found on his body, instead he has a small number of piercings, with two silvery rings adorn his right ear as well as a labret stud beneath his lower lip.

He prefers to dress in simplistic clothing for the most part and would feel uncomfortable wearing something fancy or extravagant. His day to day clothes are often worn and tattered as he has little to no coin to pay for new clothes and has to make do patching up his old ones.

Personality

Soft Spoken, shy and naive to a fault. Jino'ya is possessed of a low opinion of himself and often tries to prove himself by helping others out which often ends with disastrous results due to his clumsy nature. As a result he can be best described as awkward and extremely nervy. He is often prone to daydreaming which makes him come across as a bit of an airhead at times, While deep in thought he has a habit of messing with the parting of his fringe.

He is prone to stammering when talking, which can improve or worsen depending on who he is talking to or how he is feeling. When under a great deal of stress he has been known to speak in an almost rapid-fire manner which makes it very difficult for people to understand him. Due to his extreme shyness he will never actually look someone directly, unless he feels completely at ease with them, and instead will settle for looking at the space behind them.

Jino'ya has a great fondness for stories (and apples, but the word fondness can be swapped with something more appropriate... like "addiction") of all kinds, finding himself completely enraptured by the stories told by authors and playwrights as well as those told by adventurers and can often be found trawling through collections offered by book paddlers or listening to the grand tales told by adventurers passing through the city of Limsa Lominsa. He often dreams of becoming an adventurer himself so that he one day might be able to share stories like the ones that so enamoured him for so many years.

Miscellaneous

Combat

Jino'ya possesses next to no combat abilities and has very little way in the experience of battle other than running away and hoping that who or whatever it is that is chasing him will loose interest eventually. He does however appear to have a natural gift for healing and protective magic, possibly borne from his desire to help people rather than harm them, as a result he is more of a danger to himself than anyone else when utilising offensive magic and many times those kinds of spells will backfire on him.

He does much more than he is aware of, for us." - Ludivine Goultard

RELATIONS ♥ Significant Other    ♥ Romantic Interest     ★ Familial    ★ Trusted     ● Good Standing    ● Neutral Standing    ● Poor Standing (Names are alphabetical according to color.) ● ● Jino Traore: Jino'ya's Mother. A conjurer within the Order of the Twin Adder. Kind and caring, she would often dote upon him, much to the chagrin of his brothers. He often thinks about his mother, whether she's all right or whether or not he will see her again. ●● Jino'a Traore: First born of Jino, eldest brother to Jino'ya. He has nothing but disdain for his youngest brother. When they younger he would often play cruel pranks on the little keeper. After the disappearance of their mother and the absence of their father the acts of cruelty became more dire as he locked Jino'ya away in a cage in their cellar and beat him regularly for his "failings". ★ J'inarah Marad : Jino'yas current employer alongside J'killid Tia. He doesn't know her all that well but from his interactions with her she seems nice enough. He tries to stay out of her way for the most part where work is involved, however he remains anxious to prove himself to her as worthy of being a member of Jackal and Hide. ★ J'kilid Tia : Jino'yas current employer alongside J'inarah Marad. As with Inarah, he doesn't know much about Kilid and is of a similar opinion of him. He wants to make himself appear useful to his employer and will follow any orders issued by him unquestioningly as evidenced one night when he was asked to gather bee's. ● Myra Tyra : Fellow colleague in Jackal and Hide. For one so small she manages to inspire a great deal of fear in him, often chiding him for slacking off whenever he's in one of his daydreams. He still endeavours to be her friend. ● Bert Brewforge : Fellow colleague in Jackal and Hide and friend. Jino was of the belief that beneath his gruff exterior is a gentle being, however he would never tell him that to his face for fear of being shouted at. Though due to recent events involving a group of injured and unarmed Garlean soldiers has caused him to loose the trust he once had in the Highlander. ★ ● Xivrez'to Ithaka : One of his first friends. Jino looks up to him with a great deal of admiration and trusts him implicitly. Xiv has also served as a mentor to him, often imparting his wisdom onto the little Miqo'te as well as teaching him how to defend himself from would-be attackers (even if it is just pushing them away) and how to swim. Jino thinks of him as a family and has even asked him if he could be his brother. ● Yoral Porral : Fellow colleague in Jackal and Hide. A strange little Lalafell who has a strange obsession with Salt. Jino thinks he seems harmless enough, however he has heard rumours about what happens when someone says "no". ● Romimo Romi : While he does not know much of the Lalafellen Woman, he has a great deal of respect for her. He has promised to provide her with any information he can find on the Sharlayan art of Astromancy. ★ Cassandra Lachance : A Midlander working for the company. Jino refers to her as Miss Cassandra out of respect and counts her as one of his friends. He values her advice greatly however he constantly worries about her after she told him one of the things that stresses her out the most. ★ Miir Raj'ar : A rather blunt Seeker of the Sun, whom Jino looks up to. Like Xiv she is a Monk who lived in Ul'dah. He admires her conviction to do the right thing as well as her honesty. She is probably the only person in the company to make him blush constantly through to her constant teasing. ♥ Thya Kahzuun : A quiet little Keeper who works with the company. Initially being intimidated by the silent stares she often employs as well as her prowess in combat, he has found himself developing feelings for her. Despite learning of her past, these feelings have not changed. Instead as he has spent more time with her, he has found his feelings for her growing stronger, and now finds himself afraid to profess his love for the Keeper. ● Zhyalyhe Loeshaksyn : A rather Peculiar Roegadyn pirate who seems intent on giving him sea cucumbers as a gift whenever he see's him. ● Platinum Mountain : Dragon Hunter extraordinaire and fellow healer in the company. As he refers to Cassandra as Miss, he refers to the Lalafell as Mr. Platinum out of respect. He always offers Jino words of encouragement and has even offered to help him learn different forms of protective spells such as bindings and sleeping spells. Jino would love nothing more than to hear the stories of his dragon hunting days. He is also of the wrong impression that Platinum used to be a Dragoon. ● Ludivine Goultard : He does not know much about the Duskwight however she seems pleasant enough to him. He had gifted his toy Moogle to her in the hopes that it would make her feel better after finding her in a state of depression. ★ Z'thara Dhen : A rather pleasant Miqo'te Seeker whom Jino does not know much about, he enjoys her company although he always feels bad for not knowing what to say despite her efforts to make conversation with him. ● Locke Rinannis : An engineer that has been employed by the Jackals. Jino does not know much about the Hyur but he finds himself in awe of him when he found out he had been commissioned to construct an Airship for the company ● Aeron Volkova : Jino'ya does not know much about the Hyur, though from their talks he is of the impression that he seems nice enough. He has even been willing to part advice to the little Keeper. However after two instances (which were probably a joke at Jino's expense) he has a slight fear that the Hyur might try to kiss him.
