<spoiler>Nahue walked through the dark alleys of Limsa Lominsa, Dalamud shining brightly overhead. He wore an overcoat that night, a dark cloak and hood underneath. He carried himself well, a small cadence to his step as his boots scraped against the cobblestone. He slid his hood over his head, concealing his face from view. He had dealt with these men before, but nothing of this size. A dead drop, as usual. It was the safest thing for him and his father. He couldn't risk it otherwise. This was definitely something that would get them both killed. | <spoiler>Nahue walked through the dark alleys of Limsa Lominsa, Dalamud shining brightly overhead.

"HALT!" The two men shrieked, heading off in different directions. Nahue held his hands up as the guards approached, "I told you sirs, there were going to be some men out here smuggling," He paused, pointing in both directions, "Just doing my duty, they each ran in opposite directions." The guards nodded, chasing after the men. "Can't believe they didn't see that one coming," Nahu muttered, as he walked towards Limsa, to get his father, and their belongings, out of the city. </spoiler> | "HALT!"

He spent two weeks undetected on the vessel, sneaking food and supplies from the passengers who had now settled on the island called Menphina's Breath. One evening he stumbled through a female Miqo'te's campsite, named Manari at which point he fled and she gave chase. Upon being caught by her, she welcomed him with open arms. As the weeks went by, they became close, spending all of their time together. Nahue worked tirelessly to keep up with Manari on her hunts, learning how to track, to navigate silently through the forest and to fire a bow and arrow. It was almost inevitable it seemed, that the two would form a deep and profound relationship that would grow stronger in the years that followed. | ||

Biographical
Given name: Nahue Tanner
- His given name was given to him by his biological parents, his surname was given to him when he was adopted by Ivan Tanner. His first name doesn't follow typical Seekers naming conventions if only due to Ivan's spelling of it throughout Nahue's life.
Pronunciation: [Na-way Tan-Er]
Nicknames/Aliases:
- Nahu - A nickname given to him by close friends and family.
Nameday: 11th Sun of the 2nd Astral Moon (3/11)
Age: 15(Pre ARR), 20(ARR)
Place of birth: Unknown.
Current residence: ?????
Home City: Limsa Lominsa.
Grand Company Allegiance: N/A
Employment: (pre-ARR) His father's mechanic shop.
Marital Status: Single.
Religion/philosophy: Being raised by a man of science, Byregot the Builder was always an influence in his life. Him and his father frequently pay their respects to him, as he guides their foray into the scientific field.
Laterality: Left-handed.
Abilities
- Conjurer - Nahue's biological parents were very adept at healing magicks, and he was gifted with some abilities in that area. Ivan has pushed him to pursue this art, after noticing he had a natural ability with conjury. While he grasps the concepts, he doesn't quite understand it. He isn't much of a fighter, so the instances in where he can practice it is very slim. As such, he is still very inexperienced in this field.
- Alchemist - From a young age, his father took him out to gather herbs and reagents, learning the various types and their properties. As he grew, his father teached him how to transmogrify, brew, concoct and create wonderful things. It always fascinated him, and he found he had a knack for it. Nahue has spent many cycles developing and perfecting his talent, using much of his spare time to experiment.
- Mechanician - Another trade taught by Ivan as Nahue grew up. Nahue has always loved working on things, disassembling them, figuring out how things work, whether it is a simple pulley system, or a complex engine. His desire to learn more has always been difficult, with the taboo around magitek. He has had to learn many things in secret, often in his father's basement. Even with the risk of being caught, Nahue and his father have always enjoyed exploring the intricacies of magitek and machines in general.
- Scrapper (Pugilist) - Nahue has never been a fighter, using it only in self-defense. His abilities are very novice, as he is mostly self-taught. He tends to use whatever is around him as a weapon, or a distraction. On most occasions, he will use a wrench from his tool belt. His technique is sloppy, and unbalanced.
Weaknesses
- Nahue is dyslexic, and as a result, he never bothered to learn how to read. This will often get him lost when exploring, as he can't read signs for directions. He has to memorize landmarks and specific areas for navigation. This has also made learning difficult, as he has to have hands on experience, rather than reading a book to obtain knowledge or information.
- Trusting of others, almost to a fault. He will confide in someone completely and utterly before getting to know them as well as he should. Because of this, he often gets his hopes up very easily for things, and it hits him much harder when things don't go as planned.
Appearance
Height: 5 fulms 8 ilms.
Weight: ~145 ponz.
Body: Slender yet toned.
Hair: Silver with platinum highlights. Scruffy.

Scars/Markings: Where his right arm used to be is now a stump. There is a large scar on his upper arm where it was severed. In public, he uses a prosthetic, wearing his overcoat and a glove to hide the injury.
Clothes: Standard clothes for a mechanic. Usually just overalls, a pair of work boots, gloves, and goggles.
Voice: Soft, but warm. Easy on the ears. Somewhat feminine in tone. He will often shorten words in speech, combine words that normally aren't used together, and use slang. [Sample Voice Clip]

Personality
Demeanor:
- Nahue is a warm and friendly individual when with someone he knows. When he is around strangers or large groups of people he is very shy, rigid and introverted. He will keep to himself and stick to observing unless spoken to. He is a very curious person, often asking many questions and being nosy. Because of this, he may come off as annoying at times, but his intentions are always good.
Emotions:
- He is almost always smiling, goofing off, and generally being happy. He carries an optimistic outlook on life. He tends to stay calm in most situations, rarely getting angry or upset. If he is, he usually keeps it to himself.
Intelligence:
- He loves learning new things, very intellectual. He thinks before he speaks. Not very street-smart, but he is learning. As a dyslexic, he never bothered to learn how to read, as it was something that was difficult for him to do. As a result, everything he has learned has been from hands on experience or taught from his father. He loves to experiment on things and tinker with them to learn how the world works and behaves. Because of his learning disability, he has become very observant of the world around him, picking up on things that others usually wouldn't. He has used this to his advantage, learning vicariously through other people's experiences in fields that interest him. Even though he is unable to read and write, he is able to speak fluent Eorzean.
Quirks:
- When Nahue is embarassed or experiences a moment of awkwardness, he will often stutter.
- When happy or excited, his tail will wiggle or wag. He often hides his tail in his overalls to prevent others from noticing.
Alignment: True Neutral
History
Until the age of 3, he traveled with his birth parents and the rest of his clan by caravan throughout Eorzea. However, one day he decided to wander off and explore on his own. He ended up getting lost and eventually found himself running into a peculiar Hyur by the name of Ivan Tanner. The kind old man took him and raised him as his own.
Ivan is a mechanic and an alchemist by trade, so naturally he apprenticed under him. He quickly developed a love for tools, machinery, gears and gadgets. Anytime his father brought something home, they would spend hours tinkering with it, learning how it works and how to make it work even better than before.
Prior to the Calamity, his father owned a little alchemist/mechanic shop in Limsa Lominsa. He is currently living in Gridania with his mate, Manari Onai, where he runs his own shop in the local marketplace.

Nahue has never really had any desire to search for his birth parents. Ivan has been a fantastic father to him and Ivan is more than he could ever hope for. He considers himself extremely fortunate and proud to be called his son, race be damned.

[Gale Jar-vih-nin]

He went down to the basement to work on his most recent project, to find Sienna poking around.
