Overview

Tilidi Salidi ( Pronunciation: Tee-lee-dee Sah-lee-dee), more commonly known amongst his friends as Tili, is a youthful Lalafellin male who takes enjoyment out of socializing and his culinary arts. He currently works with his mentor at The Fox and the Chocobo, a small and humble exotic restaurant located in the Goblet, Ward 6 in the Sultana's Breath apartments. When Tilidi's not enjoying his downtime or working as a restauranteur, he is accompanying his best friend, Urien Rhaegal, who goes by the alias of Bete Noire the Dark Knight, in his mysterious double-life under his own alias known as Blanca Noche the White Mage. As Blanca, Tilidi has to disguise his voice to keep his identity protected. Though, him disguising his voice causes Blanca's voice to come out very femanine, causing others to think Blanca female, to both his dismay and advantage. Having known Urien for years, Tilidi and his loyal friend now live together in the Mist, accompanied by a couple of roommates.

Appearance

[[File:|x370px]]

Tilidi has a smooth, rounded face. His cheeks are rosy and littered with light freckles, as well as his shoulders. His pointed ears stick straight out and are a little on the long side. The Lalafell is the slightest bit chubby in his tummy, the curves in his hips also slight but hidden due to the long coats and ponchos he enjoys wearing often. He is small for his race, not even reaching 3 fulms in height.

The Lalafell's rusted red hair is cut short, yet straight and silky. His complexion is very fair, while his eyes are a soft jaded colour. He takes pride in his soft features, though he often gets mistaken for a female at times.

VOICE CLAIM : N/A .

CLOTHING : Tilidi greatly enjoys Eorzean clothing, mixing and matching newly obtained shirts and coats with his favourite pair of high house breeches and archeoskin boots when going out. Though, he prefers his cashmere poncho that he specifically set aside for gathering purposes. Occasionally, he'll throw in his black-feathered flat cap to complete the outfit. Additionally, he has a specific outfit set aside for his culinary works.

Personality

Confident. Excitable. Amiable. Tilidi is exceptionally confident and displays leader-like qualities, acting as though he were 6 feet tall despite his small stature. He takes pleasure in leading his closer friends on the adventures of his choosing.

The Lalafell is also easily excitable. When carrying on in a conversation, Tilidi will show his levels of high energy with "Oh, oh!"s or extending his vowels to exhibit his passion towards something and when he's trying to stress a point. Occasionally, he will erupt into blissful giggles when he's enjoying the conversation to it's fullest, as well as when he finds something amusing.

If it hasn't been established already, Tilidi is also very friendly and kind in mannerisms. He's quick to try and make friends with anyone and everyone, not discriminating against their race, gender, or sexual orientation. He tries to treat everyone as he would want to be treated, usually coming off as naive and childish due to his innocent appearance and sweet disposition. The only time he will break from his own normalcy is when someone treats him unkindly, teases him, or pokes fun at him, usually causing a reaction anywhere from a pout to angrily raising his voice depending on how far he's pushed.

"Blanca Noche"

Nurturing. Gentle. Serene. Blanca carries herself as a very serene White Mage, staying relaxed and composed as she gracefully handles situations with her more brutal Dark Knight counterpart, Bete Noire. She remains level-headed, also showing leader-ship qualities at times as Tilidi would. Blanca shares Noire's desire for justice and faithfully follows him to be rid of any and all corruption, supporting him as he goes about his duties. Very soft-spoken to those around her, Blanca leads conversations when Noire chooses not to speak.

Tastes

LIKES

• PASTRIES : Having the ability to cook sweets and pastries, Tilidi enjoys partaking in such treats.




• SOCIALIZING : Being a part of a social race, Tilidi is extremely fond of being in social situations.




• STUFFED TOYS : Tilidi enjoys collecting stuffed toys. Give him one and you'll have a special place in his heart.




• BUNNIES : By far Tilidi's favourite animal. He has a pet bunny named Brownie.

DISLIKES

• READING : Tilidi doesn't have much tolerance for reading. If the book doesn't have pictures, chances are he won't even look in it's direction.




• BEING CALLED SHORT : He already knows he's short for a Lalafell. He doesn't want to hear it again.




• COLD WEATHER : Most Lalafell don't take kindly to the brisk weather. Tilidi is one of them.




• ARROGANCE : Tilidi can appreciate confidence. But when you come off as an ass, that's taking it too far.

Distinctive Features

STRENGTHS

• CONFIDENCE : Tilidi's confidence helps him remain brave and sturdy in most situations.




• STRONG-WILLED : Tilidi shows relentless determination when trying to complete certain tasks or get what he wants when he sets his mind upon something.




• MAGIC/GOOD AETHERIC CAPACITY : Tilidi excels in forms of magic and is quick to pick up new techniques and skills involving casting and conjuring.

WEAKNESSES

• SMALL : Being small renders Tilidi to be physically inept when it comes to combat. Though he does like to partake in physical fighting, he's not very skilled at it and can't do much to defend himself or others.




• NAIVE : Tilidi isn't very knowledgeable on the world, being fairly sheltered while growing up.




• GULLIBLE : Tilidi's quick to believe people if they so much as promise their statement is true, even though they could very well be lying.

FEARS

• THE UNDEAD(SKELETONS, GHOSTS, ETC) : Having only heard stories about walking skeletons and restless undead, Tilidi was quite shocked to see that they actually existed once he set out on his adventure, becoming frightened of them as he was when he was a child.




• THE DARK : The uncertainty of what the inky blackness holds unnerves Tilidi, greatly. It has ever since he was younger.

Jaliqai was trained in a number of different hunting and combative skills, typical of a Qulaani child expected to one day grow into a strong and proud hunter. Her early training lessons focused mainly on two types of weaponry: the greatsword and the longbow. Qulaani tradition tends to favor weapons with longer ranges -- those that keep their wielders well out range of would-be quarry's claws and jaws.

Only in her later years, when Jaliqai began to learn that her specialty lie more in the tracking and hunting of people rather than beasts, did she begin to take up knives and daggers. While the greatsword is great against large beasts, she found the maneuverability and versatility -- not to mention the ease of concealment -- of smaller blades to better suit the hunting of man. This was a skill largely picked up during her early days as a Bounty Hunter in Othard and honed over the years since. Now, daggers tend to be her most favored melee combat weapons.

She also has some moderate training in hand-to-hand combat. While she's not trained in any sort of formal bare-handed martial art, the basics of handling oneself when disarmed is also part of a well-rounded Qulaani combat education. Rather than relying on pure physical strength or aetherically-enhanced techniques, Jaliqai's unarmed style focuses on being quick, hitting strategic locations, and not getting hit, herself.

Nowadays, with her hunting of beasts becoming increasingly infrequent, her proficiency with a greatsword has been lagging behind her knifework and archery. She usually prefers now to pick up a bow and fight from a distance, or using blades and her natural quickness and dexterity to try and end fights before they really have a chance to begin -- especially against larger or more capable opponents. If all else fails, she tries to fall back on her quickness and evasion, wearing an opponent down little by little to make taking them down easier.

But of course, capable as she is, she also has a number of weaknesses, the most notable of which being her relatively low aetheric defense. Jaliqai, like most Qulaani, carries a genetic trait that not only makes her unable to manipulate aether, but also highly susceptible to aetheric attacks. Even aetheric healing leaves Jaliqai quite sick and/or greatly drained of energy more often than not, her body simply unable to cope with the influence of foreign aether upon it.

Yesugei Qulaan ( ♥ ⧖ ☠ ? ● ) - Father (NPC)
Yesugei was a kind and caring father, providing to Jaliqai the loving familial closeness that was largely missing in her relationship with her mother. Ever calm and patient, he weathered his mate's -- and his daughter's -- quick tempers for years without complaint. Yet despite what some might have interpreted as complacency or weakness, he was a strong man, capable hunter, and an exceptional tracker. Yesugei taught Jaliqai everything she knows about figuring people out, first as a way to cope with her childhood bullying woes and then as an asset to the Qulaan tribe. Jaliqai assumes that he was killed in the Qulaani's ill-fated attack on the Garlean encampment.

Sechen Qulaan ( ♥ ⧖ ☠ ? ● ) - Mother (NPC)
Where Jaliqai was exceptionally close to her father, Sechen had been distant and cold towards her ever since she was but a small child. That distance felt so much like abandonment and contempt, and it bred no shortage of resentment in Jaliqai's heart for the woman over the years. Genuine moments of softness and caring from the tiger-like woman were few, far between, and fleeting. Jaliqai never had a chance to learn the truth behind her mother's distance before the attack on the Garleans robbed her of the chance, or so she assumes.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Maqali Qulaan ( ♥ ⧖ ● ) - Younger Sister
Maqali was born to her mother when Jaliqai herself was twenty years old herself, a miracle blessing upon her parents when Jaliqai herself was struggling with her inability to give Nasyamar a family. After the Qulaani attacked the Garleans, Maqali was taken with the survivors back to Garlemald and raised among them. It was only within the past year that Jaliqai reconnected with her sister and learned of the truth, and even more recently that the girl has once again become lost to her. Jaliqai assumes she's been spirited away back to her kidnappers' homeland, which gives her no insignificant amount of uneasiness.

Saraghul Qulaan ( ♥ ★ ✔ ● ) - Cousin & Current Tribal Leader
Jaliqai was raised alongside her younger cousin, the two children rather close until a competitive rift began to form between them in their teenage years. That rift led to endless taunting and teasing exchanged between them, which continues now even after almost a decade of having been separated. Despite their bickering and fighting, Jaliqai is exceptionally protective of her cousin -- who is now also her leader as a Qulaan. Anyone who would dare to lay a hand on Saraghul in Jaliqai's presence very much runs the risk of losing that hand.

Qadan Hotgo ( ✔ ● ) - Tribe Member & Saraghul's Mate
Qadan was first a member of Jaliqai's Gold & Glory Hunter's Guild, who gradually came to become Saraghul's hunting mate. The Hotgo has an innate talent for finding ways to get directly under Jaliqai's skin with his quips and taunts, especially with their tendency to go too far. She might want to smack him most of the time, but overall, Jaliqai likes him well enough. He's good with an axe and he makes Saraghul happy, at least. She'll probably reconsider it when either of those things stop being true.

Nasyamar Qulaan ( 💗 ★ ● ? ⧖ ) - Former Mate
Nasyamar is Saraghul's half-brother by another mother, and someone that Jaliqai was not terribly close to growing up. However, upon his Coming of Age, tribal leaders saw fit to pair him for life with Jaliqai. Over the next years, she tried to develop feelings for him and to do her duty by giving him a family, and her inability to do so was the source of much friction. They were separated when the attack on the Garleans happened and reunited years later. Yet all that time had not allowed her to love him any deeper, and in the end she chose another. He's since set to wandering, and Jaliqai is unsure if he'll ever return. Maybe it's for the best. He's better off without her.

Especially Notable Relations

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Altai Iriq ( 💗 ★ ✔ ● ⧖ )
Jaliqai's initial rough start with Altai gradually and surprisingly grew unexpectedly into a love that caused the both of them no small share of guilt and problem. When it finally seemed as if things would be resolved, that Altai would join the Qulaan tribe so that they could be together, he left on a hunt and never returned home. Jaliqai blames herself deeply for his disappearance and the loss of the family they would have been starting together upon his return, but has since buried those feeling very deep that they might never surface again.

Rawkin Forgeheart ( ❤ ★ ✔ ● )

Rawkin has not only quickly become a regular face at the Bountiful Chest, but also a good friend to Jaliqai besides. She greatly enjoys the blacksmith's company, whether their time together is spent teaching him Xaelan, exchanging playful flirtations, or confiding in one another.

Rhoswyn Graycloak ( ✔ ● )

Oh, Rhoswyn.. The half-lander woman started out as just another bartender behind the counter at the Chest, only to become the place's veritable mascot. Despite her various antics and misadventures, and her penchant to assign her extra dish duty whenever she can, Jaliqai quite likes Rhos in all her crass and crude glory.

Ryanti Veanysus ( ❤ ★ ✔ ● )
The classy, refined merchant noble and the rough-talking foreign bounty huntress make for an unlikely pair, but a surprisingly cohesive one. Despite their differing cultures and backgrounds, they've found no shortage of common ground between them and an outlet for all the things that cannot be let out elsewhere. They're close friends first and foremost, business partners secondly, and occasional lovers besides. But neither holds too tightly to the other, content to come and go freely and allow the other to do the same.

Personal RP Limits

Below you will find a general list of things that I will and won't do within the context of roleplay. I ask you to please respect it to the best of your ability. If there's anything not on this list that you're unsure of, please don't hesitate to ask me first! I don't bite, I promise!

■ I will play . . . Mature and/or dark content and themes (violence, sexuality, drug / alcohol use). Occasional erotic themes for the purpose of developing characters and interactions / relationships. Coarse and explicit language. Injury and incapacitation.

■ Ask before . . . Long-term and/or permanent injury and disfigurement. Captivity or imprisonment, either long or short term.

■ I won't play . . . Permanent character death. Non-continuity / oneshot ERP with little to no merit for character development.

All of this said, your comfort and limits in RP are also very important to me. If an aspect of RP or certain themes make you uncomfortable, please let me know so that I can avoid them. Likewise, if something that happens in the midst of a scene makes you uncomfortable, please tell me immediately. I won't be offended at all, I promise! I am absolutely, 100% concerned with your comfort and enjoyment in our RP and would never want to make someone upset with pretendy-times.

On Walk-Up RP

I'll be the first person to admit that I can be hard to pin down for spontaneous RP. I wouldn't say that I'm not walk-up friendly. However, even when I'm out and around, most of the time I'm alt-tabbed working on something and not keeping up with my chat log. That said, sending me a tell before you post at me is usually recommended. This lets me know to redirect my window to the game if I'm available, and it saves you time in writing up a post if it turns out that I can't -- and it allows me to try and set up a raincheck with you if possible!

Important Notes for Prospective Long-term RP Partners

If you'd like to set up a more established, long-term RP partnership with me, I'm definitely willing to take on more partners! I love the chance to play Jaliqai off of more characters and get in more delicious character development! However, PLEASE take note of the following things first to make sure this really is what you want to sign up for in an RP partner. Make sure you read and understand these points well if you're thinking about trying to set up something long term with me.

I'm being open and honest about what you can expect from me as a long-term RP partner, and this will not change magically overnight. So if any of this doesn't sound acceptable to you, then we will likely not be compatible. Likewise, if anything covered here becomes an issue during our time RPing together anyway (i.e. if someone starts trying to pressure or guilt trip me into daily RP when I clearly state that I am unable to do this), then I very well might excuse myself immediately from the partnership.

■ I can't offer you daily or near-daily RP. I'm the leader of a medium-sized and highly active FC, in addition to my real life and work obligations. My schedule is very busy. Chances are very high that I won't be able to RP with you individually more than a 1-3 times a week.

■ My schedule also means that I generally can't offer you spontaneous RP at the drop of a hat. Sometimes it works out that I can, but it's generally an exception to the rule. The best way to make sure we have the opportunity to RP regularly is to plan ahead for it, at least a day in advance. That gives me time to adjust my schedule and make time for you best.

■ There are multiple people that I roleplay with. If you are easily made jealous OOCly by the prospect of me RPing with someone else or having to politely decline your offer for RP sometimes because I have promised someone else RP, then I am not the partner for you.

■ That said, I may be roleplaying with someone you personally dislike. Feel free to mention it to me so that I can avoid putting you two in a situation where you have to interact. But I don't want to know all your drama, dirty laundry, or sordid history with this person. And absolutely do not try to police who I choose to RP with, please.
