Character

General

The sea was so close, but his father's ship lie in splinters at the bottom of her. His father dead, the crew scattered and his pockets empty, Tausenadel Geispyrsyn found himself coughing up seaweed on the beaches of Thanalan after the Calamity. Sent to sea by 'Admiral' Merlwyb to battle the Garlean incursion, his father and the crew sent the Cactuar's Promise prow first into battle. Remembering naught of that night but the explosive rebirth of Bahamut and said explosion taking the life of his only family, Tau was in a bad state. Wandering through the desert, wounded and alone, he barely made it to a small town before collapsing into the dust. As he came to in the inn, he was struck with a terrible melancholy over his extensive loss, but he was shocked from his daze with the realization that he was not alone in this. The world itself was mourning. Once he had his land legs back, he set a course for Limsa Lominsa, returning home to pledge his hands to help rebuild.

Appearance

Tall for his age, deeply tanned from his years at sea and with a stark green streak through his hair, Tau tends to stand out in a crowd. He doesn't look like he was made for anything delicate, which broad shoulders and calloused hands. Scars dot his body from close-quarters ship-to-ship combat, though he seems pleased when people make note of them.

Behavior

Quick to laugh, quicker to cheer, full of strange superstitions and with no concept of personal space, Tau was clearly raised by pirates. He has been described as 'surprisingly amiable' by one stranger. A fast learner but fairly uncouth, he knows enough to pipe down when told. Being stranded at a young age has left some marks but he seems jovial even when speaking of darker subjects.

Combat

Style

Tau fights with a ferocity that comes from fearlessness. Every battle at sea carries hundreds of awful ways to perish and the only way to prevail is to laugh in the face of every one of them.

Tendencies

Likes

• The Sea and all that She entails.
• Cactuar. It's a long story.
• Singing shanties.

Dislikes

• Garleans, but this isn't unique to him by any stretch.
• Women on ships, black Mi'Qote crossing his path and broken mirrors. Among a myriad of other things.
• Sahagin. A traditional pirate foe.

Hobbies/Talents

• Wood working, ship repairs and weapon fashioning. All important skills when away from port.
• Exploring. The land isn't as bad as other pirates make it out to be.

Fears

• Admiral Merlwyb.

Relationships

Family

His father, Geispyr, died the night of the Calamity. A full fledged Dragoon, he was a welcome member of a boisterous pirate crew when he brought his infant son onto the ship in 1557. Raising in the Captain's favor due to his talents and patience, Geispyr soon became 1st Mate and trained the rest of the crew for combat. On that fateful night, he became Captain for a short time and succeeded in saving the life of his son and a bare handful of crew before the end.

Tau does not remember much, if anything, of his mother but was told she'd died when he was young.
