Ado Tado (Ah-doe Tah-doe) is a Plainsfolk Lalafell who was sold to a corrupted alchemist as a boy and was rescued by an adventurer. After being in his rescuer's care for a few months, Ado Tado sought to help her with her personal quest. The two parted ways as Ado Tado was left in Gridania in order to pursue conjury - his rescuer's discipline of magic - while she continued her search. With his newfound freedom, Ado Tado developed a fascination for nature and the sky, and could be found within all corners of Eorzea - Gridania especially - as if he were looking for something...

Ado Tado, whenever he isn't fulfilling tasks as a conjurer and adventurer, could be found wherever the sky is seen best. He especially likes to scale buildings and mountains in order to get the best view of the sky and the land, and can spend hours at a time staring up at the clouds and the stars. Ado Tado welcomes others who share his passion for heights and admiring the sky, and happily experiments with the pursuits that his friends invest themselves within in turn... so long as they are not medical nor alchemical.

Appearance

Ado Tado is a Plainsfolk Lalafell with tanned freckled skin, downturned rust-red eyes, and ash-colored hair with subtle navy highlights. His hair, which reaches down to the middle of his back when let down, is often tied into a low-hanging braid; a few stubborn strands of his hair fan away from his hairline to the back of his head, and a fringe of his hair partially covers the right side of his face. His ears are pierced, and he consistently wears simple silver earrings on each of them. Ado Tado is smaller than most Lalafell.

Ado Tado wears thick clothing in order to have the best sense of mobility when doing his job as a conjurer. He wears long-sleeved clothing and gloves that extend past his wrists, and he becomes greatly discomforted if his arms are exposed. Several shot scars layer his shoulders and within the gap between his forearm and bicep for both arms.

He occasionally wears a hairpin adorned with light blue chocobo feathers along the left side of his head. His expression is often that of thought, curiosity or wonder, which can quickly turn into ones of excitement and enthusiasm in conversation. He is especially cheerful when he is outside during the night.

While Ado Tado is boyish in behavior, his speech is clear and enunciated most of the time. When angered, his words become clipped through his hasty delivery of them - "-ing" suffixes suffer a lack of G at the end, and vowels are glazed over as his words race to catch up with his thoughts.

Ado Tado comes off as a loner upon first glance, but he quickly proves to be a friendly individual when engaged. He is passionate about his life as an adventurer, and he freely wanders through Eorzea in order to take in its sights and help those who are in need of healing. He gives the people he meets the benefit of the doubt and is seldom shy from others; however, he becomes irritated quickly if the person he is speaking to makes him uncomfortable. Ado Tado holds fast to his morals and ideals, and will fight those who oppose him when push comes to shove.

Ado Tado is not opposed to living on his own, but he becomes panicked and will even shut down mentally if abandoned. Similarly, the concept of interacting with doctors or alchemists make him incredibly uncomfortable; he would excuse himself if approached with either subject, and will be quiet yet distressed if forced to interact with them. He refuses to drink potions and similar concoctions, and will even deny taking medication if presented them, as conjury naturally covered all of the bases alchemy provided.

Out of Character

CONTACT ■ I can be easily reached through the forums via PM, as well as Discord. I can also be reached in-game as Ado Tado, but I am IC whenever I am doing anything as him, including activities such as crafting and gathering. In order to talk to me OoC, please send me a Tell and use bracketed text! ■ The above note has two exceptions, and those are for weaving and alchemy. While Ado Tado fears needles and ingesting achemical products, I will be leveling his weaving and alchemical skills at some point. Because I will be focusing on FFXIV's gameplay in this case, Ado Tado will not be in character when I am working with these crafts. People are free to help him grow out of these fears in character, but do note that his reaction towards these attempts will range from discomfort to full-on panic and aggression. (I am an enthusiastic advocate for helping Ado Tado outgrow his fears!) ■ I try to incorporate whatever Ado Tado is doing in-game to his character. Ado Tado is not a Warrior of Light - but he will assist other adventurers, Warriors of Light or not, with their goals if asked to do so. ■ Do not be afraid to get Ado Tado's attention in-game at any time - he's very friendly! He'll happily talk to and accompany those who approach him.

FORMING RELATIONSHIPS ■ Ado Tado can easily come to like others. However, his sense of justice and his morals will conflict with those who have dubious intentions, and he may flat out refuse to get along with those who strike him as wrongdoers. Ado Tado will be openly friendly or aggressive towards others depending on how much he likes them. Whether he likes or dislikes a person does not say the same for myself; my opinions on a character are separate from Ado Tado, and all actions that he may perform in reaction to what a character does will not be based off of my own biases. On that note; if I or the person have any issues or concerns pertaining to RPing and Ado Tado's stance on somebody, I will be open to communication, and will address concerns as they occur. ■ Ado Tado has no preference when it comes to gender and forming romantic relationships, but I will not be doing anything remotely Not Safe For Work with his character. I am all for a relationship that is full of action, angst, drama and fluff, what have you - but activities that take place behind closed doors is where I draw the line.
