Gareki Yukimura is an engineer from Othard born of mixed blood between a hyur with dragon blood and a miqo'te. He also has a heavy background in scientific knowledge and is well-trained in all crafting disciplines. Because he's young, he's still learning and is currently serving as a student of the Skysteel Manufactory to improve his skills as a machinist. He's also very handy with a bow and enjoys long-ranged combat. He isn't capable of using magic nor does he possess a lot of strength or bulk, but his agility and sharp eye when it comes to shooting makes him a formidable opponent.

Noticeably shorter than most males, Gareki has a small build and stature, but his lean body and high agility more than compensate for his faults. He has a few faded scars on his body but nothing noticeable, marks he'd gained from years of hunting and living in the forest. His hands are noticeably very rough and calloused, sometimes bandaged or full of cuts from constantly working with them. He favors wearing goggles on his head like Cid and dresses very practical. His tail is also very fluffy and long, a definitive Yukimura trait, and he has the standard miqo'te markings under his eyes. Though he's a Keeper of the Moon, he has slitted, dragon-like eyes from his father's dragon blood, hence the narrowed pupils that look more like those of a Seeker. No other scars or discernible features; has a mostly plain appearance; doesn't have a noticeable scent at all.

Biography

Born in Utakata on Othard, he was only one of three males in his Miqo'te tribe, the other two being Yamato and Shiro. Shiro had a mate already, and Yamato was far too old, making Gareki the only available male for breeding. Because Megumi didn't want her brother to be used and wanted him to have his own independence and autonomy, she didn't allow any of the other miqo'te to mate with him.

His mother, Ouka, was the former head of their tribe and a strong beast hunter who specialized in a samurai-style of combat and medicine. Her lightning-infused blade was passed down to Gareki when she died. His father, Ibuki, was a hyur and a dragoon (where his dragon-blood may have come from), he once served Ishgard. Ibuki was believed to have come from a long line of bloodbearers who drank dragon's blood to achieve the ability to transform. This feature was kept secret from both children and only shows up in Gareki and Megumi's eyes which contain hidden powers of the old dragons of yore.

Both of Gareki's parents were slaughtered by the Garleans and laid to rest near the Plum tree forest in Yanxia, and Gareki had henceforth been protected by both Megumi and Yamato. Since then, he grew up without knowing much of his parents except through tales the tribe would share with him.

He also met Klair Dratahr when he was about three years-old and Klair was six. A mysterious injury had left Klair on the brink of death, but Ouka employed Gareki to play junior nurse while he was with them and Klair healed under their careful watch. Gareki reunited with Klair years later when he was thirteen and when Megumi began a relationship with Klair's best friend and confidante, Jhi'a. Though Gareki had a crush on Klair then, he didn't speak much of it and just silently watched him from afar since he was too young for a relationship.

Gareki then spent much of his teenage years traveling around Othard and learning from great smiths and crafters. He also graduated from using bows for hunting to firearms and cannons, many of which he learned to build himself. He then learned how to construct and outfit small airships using a lot of the engineering manuals from Cid's Ironworks.

Since his dream had been to meet and study under Cid personally, he decided to venture out towards Aldenard with Kitsuno and had enlisted in the Skysteel Manufactory while simultaneously tutoring with some of the scholars in the Saint Endalim Scholasticate after breaking into their library stacks enough times. He also frequented the Great Gubal Library to research hidden tomes and be chased out by cranky apparitions. Currently, he's continuing his apprenticeship in the Skysteel Manufactory in Ishgard and travels frequently back and forth to Shirogane where he has a small, two-story home.

Platonic Love

♥ Megumi Yukimura - Gareki's older sister by three years. She's the head of their tribe and very kind and selfless in spite of her brash demeanor. Gareki thinks she treats everyone distantly because she's afraid to get hurt and worries he may have learned that same habit from her, but he knows how much cares for her tribe and family. Their mutual stubbornness leads to lots of bickering between them.
