General Information Tului Nasan is a Xaela shaman living in Eorzea with the other Auri refugees. A nomad who has always seen herself as a wandering wise woman, tending to the needs of all living things. She is a firm believer in the spirits and fate. Due to this, she is at peace with the exodus - but hopes ultimately to return her people to their ancestral homes. Tului is guided by a strong moral compass and will do as she believes is right and just. This makes her willing to fight tooth and tail to protect life from those who would destroy or corrupt it.

Build Bearing Blindness Tall, Lithe Elegant, Deliberate Both Eyes, Completely Physique Tului’s presence and physique resembles that of a crane - tall and lithe with long, slender legs. Her movements are graceful, slow and deliberate, as she navigates her world without her sense of sight. Though she has the innate hardiness of all Xaela who have lived in the wilds of the Steppe, it is evident her capabilities lie in the mind rather than the body. Tului’s skin is a deep, dark charcoal in color that is accentuated with silver speckles throughout. There appear to be no scars on her form, though she does boast callouses on her palms and the tips of her fingers. Scales, Horns, & Tail As a Xaela, Tului is covered with prominent coal colored scales. The particular hue they have does not seem prone to reflecting the light, as the inky or raven black scales some of her kin hold. Instead, they seem to almost blend into her skin seamlessly. A mutation that originated in her tribe adds a secondary, finer set of silver scales that are splattered across her skin in various sizes like the stars in the night sky. This adaptation was so sought after that all members of her tribe have it. Tului’s lavishly adorned dual horns sweep backwards and upwards, ending in long, thin, and razor-sharp pointed tips. Her tail is whip-like and ends in five serrated prongs that can tuck together or expand at will. She utilizes both the natural spatial cognition provided by her horns and side-to-side swishes of her tail to help her visualize the spaces she is in - similar to how a feline uses its whiskers to navigate. Tului’s tail is likewise adorned with jewels. Facial Features A heart-shaped face with prominent cheekbones is framed by thick waves of silvery tresses. Her hair appears to have grown like a horse’s mane - long and wild, though not unkempt. The color is a base of pale gray that is highlighted with finer strands of silver, though the ends tend to be darker than the rest. Dark, fully lips are slightly glossy and stand out against her skin. Large almond-shaped eyes are almost always half-lidded, as if she were on the verge of slumber. The lashes are black and distinct, but fairly short and sometimes hard to see against the glow of her silver eyes and white limbal rings. The fine speckles of silver scales are most visible across her cheekbones. An alto voice, slightly husky and warm, speaks more slowly in the common tongue than her native one. Adornments ❄ CLOTHING: A mix of natural adornments (leather and bone) and various woven fabrics (wool or silk). Preference is usually in shades of black, grey, and silver - when she is aware of the color. Skirts of varying lengths are more commonly scene than leggings. Leather boots, sandals, or barefoot. ❄ JEWELRY: Strands of silver chains that jingle with small moonstones, pearls, and elemental crystals are draped over her horns and tail. Akin to a handflower bracelet, bands at various points of her tail from top to pronged tips are connected by the fine strands of chain and gems. ❄ SCENT: Cedarwood (slightly smoky with a hint of spice), labdanum (a warm and sweet, musky, amber), petrichor (the wet, earthy scent before it rains), and a touch of ozone (the crisp electric scent of air after the rain).

Personality ❄ ALIGNMENT: Neutral - Good ❄ PERSONALITY TYPE: Extroverted - Intuitive - Feeling - Perceiving (ENFP) Tului strives to find balance between the mortal world and the cosmos, the earth and the heavens, the head and the heart. While she is not always perfect at doing so, years of tutelage and subsequent practice as a shaman have shaped her into a well-composed, emotionally stable person. Her patience with others is a defining trait, as she will offer advice on occasion but understands it may not be taken. To her, the bird's way of throwing a chick out of a nest so that it can learn to fly produces the best results...though she will always be ready to catch them, or mend a broken wing. Her greatest fears include prolonged silences and the dark, anything that makes her feel disconnected from others or the world at large. She also believes it is her solemn duty to correct injustices and protect life from being subjugated or perverted. She will utilize whatever means in her possession, usually her magic and connections with others, to fight against those she deems cannot be saved when compassion and reason fail to produce results. As with other members of the Tenger tribe, Tului has a multitude of spiritual beliefs that revolve around the spirits, magic, and reincarnation.

Player Information Player Note Hello! I appreciate you taking the time to look over Tului Nasan's wikipage! I have been roleplaying for about 15 years in various online mediums (forums, messengers, in-game). I have played a variety of MMORPGs and have found something I liked in each one! I like a variety of RP scenarios from day-to-day fluff all the way to serious, long-term plotlines! Character Lore Adherence I have used lore to the best of my ability in making Tului's profile. Please keep in mind that I have not yet received my lorebook in real life, nor have I completed much in-game yet (aside from the MSQ about a third of the way into Heavensward...and some random fluff side quests!). Many of the things mentioned are meant to be TULUI'S IC beliefs rather than the actually reality! ■ Spirituality: I have based Tului's tribal beliefs off of Mongolian spiritualism, specifically Tengerism, and adapted it to Eorzea as closely as possible! ■ Shaman: I cobbled together the 'custom class' of shaman for Tului that has an emphasis on a few BASIC conjury, thaumaturgy, and astrologian abilities. ■ Soul Crystals: I wanted these gems to play an important spiritual role in tribal ideas of death and reincarnation by having Tului pass them on like heirlooms to worthy champions. ■ Biology: I gave Tului's tribe freckle-like silver fish scales as a biological adaptation that was purposefully passed down through bloodlines for the aesthetic of it. Miscellaneous Information ■ Concept: Tului's concepts hail from a variety of my passions. Dragons (aesthetic), Druid/Shaman lore, monochrome colors, the night sky, the 'blind seer' and 'medicine women' archetypes . ■ Server: Balmung ■ Timezone:North America, Mountain Time (UTC -7) Character Tidbits Links Out Links that lead off the wiki, but are technically relevant to the character. ■ TUMBLR: Silver Scales and Tales Tropes & Explanations A trope is a convention or device that is often found in creative works. In this case, the tropes below describe Tului either in part, or as a whole. Her background, personality, appearance, etc, most of them can be described in the tropes below. ■ Silk Hiding Steel EXAMPLE TROPE Tropes are devices and conventions that a writer can reasonably rely on as being present in the audience members' minds and expectations. On the whole, tropes are not clichés.
