Lawful Neutral General Information Tokhta is a young, quiet Xaela of the Iriq tribe, a clan that adopts any male children abandoned by the all-female Borlaaq tribe that they traditionally follow across the Steppes. He is short of stature and gaunt of build, suggesting food and exercise are not a top priority. Curious and strong-willed as a child, his teenage years saw him succumb to cowardice and fear of the dangers ever-present on the Azim Steppes. It was not until he fled to Eorzea that he finally picked up a sword and began extensive combat training under the guidance of the Free Paladins of Ul'dah. Appearance Hair & Eyes His eyes are storm gray in color, often turned away from strangers but gentle when gazes meet. His hair is shoulder-length and dark red, with occasional strands of lighter red coloration peeking through. Physique & Markings Tokhta is of a slight build and short height. With his physical and combat training only recently begun, he has yet to develop the defined muscles often seen on warriors and adventurers of his age. The only aberrant markings on his body are newly minted scars on his right lower leg, left over from puncture wounds similar to those received from jagged, bestial teeth. Hygiene & Attire Tokhta keeps himself presentably clean and well-kept. He bathes on a daily basis and applies shampoos and oils to his hair, which he tries to keep brushed out and free of rat nests. He does not, however, pride himself over his appearance and will seldom ever be seen fussing over minute details of his looks. Personality Psychological Profile . Voice Tokhta bears a light tone of voice that is not overly pitched, nor does it reach the lower depths normally perceived of Au Ra males. He is soft-spoken with an occasional stutter. His voice is usually laden with one emotion or another, rarely ever monotone. Philosophy & Mannerisms Initially cautious around strangers and new acquaintances, Tokhta can open up relatively easily after repeated exposures. Through observation of the Eorzean culture, he has quickly picked up on the more polite and courteous aspects of social behavior that were almost always rewarded with smiles or some other form of gratitude, i.e. holding doors open for others, assisting with jobs and chores, quickly recognizing those that seemed lost or troubled, among other mannerisms. Though not book-smart, Tokhta has been known to come up with inspirational or knowledgeable quips of wisdom that have left a few with a new, albeit minor, outlook on life. Preferences Likes ● The color red ● Hot baths ● Protecting others ● Honey Muffins and most other sweet breads ● Waking up early ● Few but close friendships ● The clear night sky Dislikes ● Dishonesty ● Overt violence ● Aggressive behavior ● Aetheryte travel ● Daisuke's puns Skills ● Intermediate skill with sword and shield ● Beginner skill with reading and writing Eorzean ● No skill but clear interest in learning Blacksmithing ● Has not starved to death yet

History . Disclaimer: Obviously, none of this would be known to a character unless explicitly told by Tokhta himself. That being said, another Iriq player is more than welcome to claim having seen or known Tokhta during his Othard days. Sixth Astral Era Childhood Tokhta lived a rather unremarkable childhood. Found abandoned by his Borlaaq mother at the mere age of three or four moons, he was the third and final son adopted by the spearwarrior Narin Kegan. His chance for survival seemed low for having been left behind as such a vulnerable stage in his life, but he was not the first nor the last child to be discarded so quickly and he managed to pull through.

Romance RP is not available for this character as this theme is already underway. On most occasions I will be happy to reply to walk-up RPs and short-term RPs without question. ■ I won't play ERP just for the sake of it, torture (physical and emotional), permanent character maiming/dismemberment (digits okay), permanent character death. RP Hooks While the below is by no means comprehensive, it's a kind of spring board for walk-up RP. Longer plots that are meant to run for more than a few quick RP's, please feel free to send me a tell so we can work out a good reason for our characters to get to know one another. I'm always looking for RP, unless I'm actively spamming PvE content. ■ List item.

OOC Notes Player Information Player Note There is a lot of information on this character wiki, but it is by no means completely comprehensive. There are chunks of backstory that are left intentionally vague so that details can be later added as developed through creative writing or in role-play revelation. Feel free to use Common or Uncommon rumors freely, if you want to use a Rare Rumor as a plot hook or to spark RP, I would ask that you send me a tell first, to make certain it's alright.
