Urien Rhaegal ( Pronunciation: yoo-ree-in ray-gall ), more commonly known amongst his friends as Uri, is a sweet-natured and gentle young Auri man leading a mysterious double life in an attempt to better himself as a person, and take a stand against corruption. Going by an alias, he takes up arms as the dark knight Bête Noire to combat evil that thinks itself above the reach of justice. He is joined in this endeavor by his best friend Tilidi Salidi, himself going by the alias of Blanca Noche, the beautiful white mage. When not engaging in acts of justice, Urien can be found reading and crafting alchemical concoctions in the cozy home that he shares with Tilidi. The two have been friends for years, and are almost always seen together.
Though tall and imposing, Urien is rather young and stands shorter than most grown male Au Ra. He is also slight of build due to his age, and possesses gentle facial features and kind, though striking, silver eyes. His long navy hair is kept up in a simple ponytail, and his deep bluish complexion and dark, Xaelan scales make him easy to spot. Urien's horns sweep forward, and end in small silver caps, while his tail is long and narrow, and tipped with soft barbs that bend when enough pressure is exerted on them. He tends to favor light colored clothes, and can be frequently seen wearing his white scion adventurer's jacket, a favorite of his. His vision unfortunately, is poor, so he wears glasses to correct this.
He tends to come off as unapproachable based on his appearance alone, and this can sadden him, but when others find themselves up close and personal, his true, gentle nature quickly comes to light.
VOICE CLAIM : Gemma Whelan as Yara Greyjoy (Game of Thrones), with a somewhat less refined accent. ( SAMPLE -- S06 Spoilers, NSFW ; SAMPLE -- S06 Spoilers ).
TATTOOS :
Facial Tattoo: Urien possesses deep black tattoos around each of his eyes. These stand in stark contrast with them, and were given to him during his time with the Kahkol.
CLOTHING : Jaliqai has actually developed quite the liking for Eorzean and Doman fashion over the pelts, hides, and leathers that she was raised with. Especially now that she's given up her more nomadic lifestyle, settled, and come by a steady source of coin for herself, she's often found dressed particularly well. Nor does she seem particularly concerned with the issue of modesty, often picking out clothing that allows her to show off her body and the scars upon it like a champion proudly displaying their trophies.
Sensitive. Compassionate. Unassertive. As a result of his rather harsh childhood and subsequent rearing by the Kahkol, and later a family of kind hyur, Urien suffers from self-esteem and confidence issues that make him easy to push around and intimidate. Despite his sheer size, he always seeks to please, and hardly ever has a bad word to say about anyone that isn't outright evil. As of late however, he has become all too aware of his own apprehension. Frightened by what might one day happen to him, or someone he cares about deeply should he fail to act in an emergency, Urien has taken steps to overcome his meek-willed nature.
As a person, Urien is sweet, and compassionate to a fault. His kindness stems from his desire to be liked and not feared, as people are often wont to do at first sight. He is highly empathetic to others, and tries to help in any way he can if asked. This overtly benevolent behavior may come off as exasperating to some. In conversation, he is mild-mannered, and a good listener, though he is hesitant to spend any extended period of time talking about himself.
Taking up the art of the Dark Knight and coming to peace with his own frustrations at being taken for granted, Urien clad himself in concealing armor and became Bête Noire.
"Bête Noire"
Aloof. Brusque. Unsentimental.
Noire's detatched, distant attitude belies his intense desire for justice. Though he may seem cold and uncaring, his heart is righteous. To the innocent, he is a protector. To evil, he is unforgiving. His code declares that none are above the reach of justice, and no matter the perpetrator, no matter their rank or social status, the law cannot protect them.
Noire speaks little, and usually allows his partner Blanca to speak on his behalf. When he does choose to verbalize, his voice can be described as gruff and husky.
- READING : An avid reader, Urien's expansive collection of books is a central fixture of his room. He is messy by nature however, and as an unfortunate consequence of this, his various tomes end up scattered not only around his room, but certain areas of the house as well.
- ALCHEMY : Having taken up the craft to be able to help the wounded and those in need, Urien thoroughly enjoys concocting potions and restoratives, both to sell and for his friends who would need them.
- THUNDER THE CHOCOBO : Urien's trusty steed, this mighty chocobo is his pride and joy. Though she is exceptionally large, she displays the same gentle qualities of her master, and he loves her dearly.
- FOOD : Being a male Au Ra, Urien's great size comes with an even greater appetite. He normally eats as many as two or even three times as much as a midlander hyur of his age. Sadly, despite all his alchemical knowledge, Urien has never taught himself how to cook, and as such, he is highly dependent on his best friend Tilidi Salidi to cook his meals. That the Lalafell never tires of this daunting task is a testament to their friendship.
- ARROGANCE : Urien may be kind to a fault, but if there's one thing he genuinely can't stand, it's unrestrained arrogance. He feels as though everyone should be equal with one another, not parading themselves above.
- BEING ALONE : Uri's frightening childhood has left him with deep-seated fears of abandonment, and as such, he suffers from separation anxiety. After meeting his best friend Tilidi, Urien was quick to imprint on him, and never likes to be away from his side for very long. He's made considerable progress since they first met, but his fears are still there.
- BETRAYAL : Those who would betray their own are less than beasts to her. Even most animals are loyal to their own.
- WASTEFULNESS : Wastefulness of anything is a big 'no go' for Jaliqai, whether it's wasting food, drink, or especially one's quarry. It's the ultimate disrespect to a creature that gave you a good Hunt.
- SWEETS : No especially poignant story here -- she just doesn't possess much of a taste for sugary, unnatural sweets in general.
- PHYSICAL STRENGTH : As an Au Ra male, Urien is naturally blessed with great strength. However, he hardly ever makes use of it outside battle.
- BILINGUAL : Born to the Tumet, Urien speaks both his birth tribe's dialect, and the Kahkol dialect of Xaelan fairly well. Years of not having to speak his native tongue however have made him a bit rusty, and when speaking his language, the two dialects tend to merge.
- STRONG-WILLED : Once Jaliqai sets her mind upon something, she does it and doesn't cease until she is finished. Her resolve and will is strong, and to say that she's determined is putting it lightly.
- OBSERVANT : Jaliqai is exceptionally sharp when it comes to watching people, from analyzing not only what is said but how it's said, the slightest cues from one's body language, and so on.
- MULTILINGUAL : A practical strength. Her mother tongue is the Qulaani dialect of the Xaelan language. However, she's also fluent in spoken Doman (but not literate) and both fluent and reasonably literate in Eorzean. Her accent and manner of speaking tend to change drastically in each language, however, reflective of the sources from which she learned each.
- EASILY STEPPED ON : Unusually for an Au Ra male, Urien is easily intimidated and pushed around. His low self-confidence make him an easy target for those seeking to exploit his kindness. .
- SEPERATION ANXIETY : Abandoned at only ten summers old, Urien has developed strong separation anxiety, and never likes to far from his best friend, Tilidi. He has made progress over the years, but the issue still lingers.
- MORAL COMPASS : Though she's been able to adjust her ways somewhat since leaving in her tribe, the environment and culture in which she was raised has instilled in her a moral compass sometimes not compatible with that of Eorzeans. Her perspective on what is 'right' and 'wrong' can very easily put her at odds with others and society at large because of this.
- SELF-DOUBT : This personality flaw has haunted her since her early adulthood. While she might appear self-confident at all times -- an image projected to others -- she actually possesses a great amount of doubt within her, about her ongoing inability to create a family, her leadership, and ever her identity itself.
- BEING ALONE : Due to his separation anxiety, Urien naturally fears being alone. He spent much of his childhood alone, searching for his parents before eventually being taken in by the Kahkol tribe.
- OWN WEAKNESS : Urien has become aware of his own weakness and is terrified that his indecision and submissive nature will cost him dearly someday. He doesn't want to lose someone he loves because of his own inability to act.
- FAVORITE FOOD : Braised Pipira. Urien loves fish, and this dish is arguably his favorite, especially when it's prepared by Tilidi.
- FAVORITE DRINK : Grape juice.
- FAVORITE COLOR : White.
- FAVORITE ANIMAL : Apkallu.

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 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.
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.
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.
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 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 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.
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 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.
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.
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.

- ■ 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.
- ■ 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.
