Character

General

O'vitah Nunh is an aging Nunh of a branch of the O tribe, located in the mountainous regions of La Noscea.

O'vitah's tribe is one of many tribal traditions and culture, wherein hunting and strength are seen as the defining features of those within the tribe. The Huntresses are ruthless and precise, underoing much training to hone their skills with Spear, bow and knives. The Tias, too, are also encouraged to fight and hunt, but to focus on their hand to hand combat in order to overthrow others Tias in order to prepare them to become Nunhs.

O'vitah has been a Nunh for Many years, even before the Calamity. During his time as such, he encouraged not only the continued traditions of his tribe, but also the fostering of close bonds with others. O'vitah is loving, Loyal, and gentle with his mates, and takes their well being in to consideration above others.

Currently, he is under the Employment of the 81rst Division, under Rhesh'ir Zhwan. As of late, however, O'vitah has taken a leave of medical absence for stress and anxiety, which would impede his duties in the battlefield. He is currently staying with a friend of his, a Nunh by the name of E'lios, in a section of the Eft tribe within the Jungles of La Noscea.

Appearance

O'vitah is an older gentleman with a well toned body, long, sleek tail and dark black fur and ears. He has many scars upon his features, marring his chocolate colored skin. His eyes are sharp and bright, being of the colors Orange and Green, they seem to stand out as a stark contrast to the rest of his body.

He's a taller man, standing at around six fulm, making him somewhat imposing to those who come to him. However, such stature is offset by an almost constant smile, and his laughter is easily brought on. O'vitah seems to enjoy the company of children and young ones, finding their admiration and wonder for the world to be an inspiration. He does especially well with young children, acting as a father figure to those that come in to his care.

in battle, however, he is a strong and deadly foe. Preferring to use a large axe as his main weapon, O'vitah throws himself headlong in to battle, keeping the enemy busy and focused upon him, and not upon his allies.

Combat

O'vitah considers himself an incredibly capable and competent "meat shield", as it were. He favors larger weapons, spears, axes, maces and large swords are more his forte. His stances are usually centered upon being able to take more hits than dish them. His vitality is quite high, and he can take a fair beating before going down. As of late, he's gained an interest in teaching his son the ways of battle, using his own knowledge to help the boy in hsi desire to be a fighter.

Relationships

♥ Romantic Interest ♥ Sexual Desire ♥ Platonic Love ● Good Standing ● Neutral Standing ● Poor Standing

Friends & Acquaintances ● Rhesh'ir Zhwan – Rahn'a has grown very fond and close to Rhesh'ir. Moreso than anything, Rahn'a has gained a new-found trust in his leader, and sees him much as another father figure within the group / "Tribe". He cares deeply for Rhesh'ir, and finds comfort in his presence, and aid in his wisdom. He hopes to learn more from Rhesh'ir, and grow closer to him. ● Y'lyfriel Sikah – Lyfriel seems to have become more someone that Rahn'a has become closer t. She's become less frightening over the last few sennights, and Rahn'a feels closer to her and little Riel'a. He trusts Lyfriel's judgement, and after much thought, believes she is a stern an trustworthy leader alongside Rhesh'ir. ● ♥X'linwh Tia – Rahn'a remembered X'linwh better now, as a goofy, dumb, and yet courageous person who was always trying (yet seemingly failing) to do the right thing. While he misses the dumb lug, he hope that he is happy, wherever he is with his passing. ● ♥Seda'li Tayuun – Even after a horrible first impression, Rahn'a and Seda'li's friendship has grown close. So close infact, that the two find it hard to seperate themselves from each other's presence. Rahn'a's heart flutters at the sight of the other keeper, and the two have become Mates. Rahn'a has seen Seda'li falling in to the depths of despair from the pain and burden of his past, but Rahn'a feels that his lover will come through it. He will do anything for Seda'li, and supports him as best he can. ● Tahla'li Tayuun – Rahn'a is not sure where he and Tahla'li stand. He knows that Tahli feels some mild resentment in his heart towards him, and fears Tahli's words. However, Rahn'a wishes to make peace with the man he deemed his best friend, and seeks to find a way to speak with him once more... And perhaps bridge the gap that has come between them for so long. ● ♥Kodaro Ba'rococo – Kodaro, almost litterally, is Rahn'a's older brother. A strong man in heart, soul and body, Rahn'a has seen Ko at his lowest, and has seen him come up from those experiences stronger than ever. He loves Kodaro deeply, and misses him now that he's gone away to fight in the Bloodsands. He wishes Ko would come back soon, as recent events have left Rahn'a fearful of venturing to Ul'dah alone. ● Dawson Colwell – Rahn'a's mentor, teacher, and fast becoming close friend, Dawson is a person that Rahn'a has come to very much admire. After passing on the mantle of mentor to Rahn'a, the boy has felt a sense of duty that he feels he must uphold to make his teacher proud. He worries very much for Dawson's wellbeing after the incident at sea, and he wonders if the man will ever be the same. Regardless, he wants to again sit with him and enjoy a cup of tea and fond conversation. ● Onuma Ahntifi – Onuma is very much a big sister to Rahn'a, and he finds her to be a constant in his life now that he doesn't want to be without. In a way, she is part of the family that the tribe has become, a family Rahn'a cherishes dearly. Her recent spats with the group and ultimate heartbreak has made Rahn'a feel helpless, and yet despite that, he took it upon himself to push Onuma forward (quite literally) to mend fences with Lotan'to, her mate. ● Lotan'to Jiub – Lotan'to is still very much a D'a figure to the boy, and he enjoys that Lolo treats him as an adult instead of a kit. Regardless, he looks up to Lotan'to very much, and even in times of fear, was relieved to see Lotan'to was there to step up and offer a shoulder or a hand to assist him. ● Rinha'li Dhavha – Rahn'a loves his cousin deeply, and would do anything for the skittery keeper. Rinha'li has become braver over the last few moons, but Rahn'a still worries about him. He wonders how a man such as S'aerdha is caring for him, when he seems to care for no one else. Rahn'a wishes to protect Rinha'li, and wants to one day see his cousin step out in to the world without fear, but a smile. ● Surilian Blu – Rahn'a recently met up with Suri once again in Ul'dah after hearing her name spoken in the crowd. He spoke with her as she downed a bottle of Rum, and while she seemed sad and distant at first, Rahn'a seemed to bring a smile to her face. He was happy to have done so, as the poor girl seems to have fallen on hard times. He hopes she can pull herself out of whatever is ailing her, and smile more once again. ● ♥Chesh'ir Lihzeh – Chesh'ir seems to have disappeared from Rahn'a's life. Strangely enough, he's not spoken of Chesh'ir, nor does he seem to care any longer.... ● U'dahsh'a Nunh – Rahn'a doesn't have much to think about U'dash'a. He's not around as much, and Rahn'a seems to forget from time to time that this man can be around. Perhaps they will talk again, soon. ● Pipituu Kipichuu – Rah'na has only has passing moments with this Lalafel and his partner, Miji. The most prominent being an incident during the Starlight Celebration, wherein he and Tahla'li fell out of a large, decorated tree, startling the Lalafels, but overall making a happy acquaintance with them both. Rah'na finds them kind and interesting, and wishes to know more about the couple. ● Mijisaa Qisaa – Rah'na met Miji, along with Pipituu during the Starlight Celebration. Both have piqued his interest, though he knows little to nothing about them. She is a strange one, as her mood seemed to shift once they left Ul'dah. He's not sure what to think of her, and is glad to be out of her employ, for now. ● ♥F'ivahl Tia – Rah'na met this impressive Seeker in the Quicksand of Ul'dah, and found him to be an interesting and exotic sort of individual. His strength and knowledge as well as good company kept Rah'na at ease at times of loneliness. Rah'na has come to trust F'ivahl more as they've spoken in private, finding him one of the FEW seekers willing to sit down and listen. He's a wild animal in a way, and Rah found it a touch unsettling at first. But with their talks and sharing of company, Rah'na has found him to be a good friend and shoulder to lean on. Plus, F'i's mate is cute as a button. ● Oliwat Kokiwat – Rahn'a has all but forgotten this strange person.He truly cares not for him anyroad. ● Oriel Durand - Rahn'a considers Oriel a good friend. While he's not seen the older male around as much, he still finds time to think fondly on him. Oriel has done much for the company, though he seems to quite often throw himself in to his work. Rahn'a worries for him, and hope he is doing well. ● L'mila Lania - This miqo'te woman has Rah'na on edge more than not. He only met her a few days ago, and already she's causing his hair to turn as grey as his skin. However, the last few meetings have become less stressful, as L'mila has begun to learn and understand boundaries. Rah feels guilty for being scared of her, and perhaps hopes to make amends to be her friend in full. She is still young and inexperienced, but she is like Rah'na in this way. Perhaps they both will be able to grow up some and gain experience before meeting once more. ● Erimmont Leguard - While he dislikes most Elezen, Rah'na shows some respect towards Erimont. He assisted in helping Rhesh with his Trial, and eased the burden upon the others with his words of help. He may seem a touch cold and heartless, but Rah shared some time with him to talk, and found him, while secretive, to be tolerant. If only he wasn't so friggin' tall. But hells, perhaps it's a good thing. Something to climb on. ● Solelle Frilaix - A mysterious Elezen woman whom Rahn'a had encountered with his Cousin. She seems to know about his tribe, and while this is disconcerting to him, it's also a relief. She spoke to him of his tribe, confirming that they were alive and well, which seemed to Ease Rahn'a on the group's trip in to Coerthas. He still doesn't know anything about Solelle, and still feels uneasy with her following him, even under the pretense of protecting him. However, she's not done anything to warrant his ire, and so he allows her to do as she wishes. ● Ralamano Nulumano - Ralamano has become a steadfast ally to Rahn'a during their mission out to the jungles of La Noscea. Rahn'a respects the Lalafel very much, finding him knowledgeable as well as a competent mage and strategist. Ralamano is honestly quite hard to question, as his reason is usually quite sound. Rahn'a sees him as a grand and respectable Ally. ● Adalhaid Rask - This shy girl is someone Rahn'a honestly doesn't care about. She makes no effort to be noticed, and the Kit mostly ignores her quiet, soft spoken words for the most part. he's got better things to do, like find laps to lay in. ● Rei Mei - Rahn'a met this girl briefly in Limsa, along, sort of, with her "guardian", a rather Racist Hyur who called Rahn'a and his kin "Things" and "Mongrals". The girl seemed interested and curious in Rah's qiqirn toy, but when he attempted to befriend the other miqo'te, her guardian pulled her away without warning, leaving Rhan'a wondering if he had done something wrong. ● X'Yue Tia - Rahn'a met this seeker very recently on his trip back to Ul'dah with Kodaro. For the msot part, he seems rather reserved and bored or perhaps even uncaring with the goings on of Ul'dah. He offered Rahn'a protection after a friend of X'yue's mentioned a murderer running about, which seemed to ease the boy's fear. He also made mention of his like of the Beach, gaining Rahn'a's interest for a short while. All in all, Rahn'a finds him a touch strange and reserved, but he's willing to learn more. ● Garrett Slater - Along with X'yue, Garrett was the other person Rahn'a ran in to while on his return trip to Ul'dah. The Hyur seemed very curious of the boy, and overall a kind soul that Rahn'a found interesting. He seemed concerned for Rah's well being, perhaps because of his young age and curious ways. When he cautioned Rahn'a on going outside the city due to a murderer killing travelers, he effectively terrified Rahn'a for the night, and felt horrible about it. Rahn'a likes him however, but doesn't know him very well quiet yet. ● S'aerdha Tia - S'aerdha has effectively set himself on Rahn'a's "Shit List". After the seeker spoke up so brazenly at a company feast about Seda'li's proposal for Rahn'a's hand, the boy has seen S'aerdha now as incredibly unsavory. He can tolerate the man for only so long, and finds himself becoming angry in the coy man's presence. ● Lynn'e Sparrow - A vagabond of keeper heritage, Lynn'e is an oddball keeper male that Rahn'a finds a bit odd and standoffish. After a bitter fight and rivalry, Rahn'a and Lynn'wo have settled their differences and become friends once more. ● Sighard Albrecht - This ishgardian Hyur is something of a stranger to Rhan'a. Having only met recently after a freak accident with his first use of conjury, Singhard seems to be surprisingly upbeat and confident for one who's wrestled with dragons most of his life. Rah hopes to learn more of him.

Enemies & Rivals ● O'jahka Nunh - O'jahka is the youngest resident Nunh of the La Noscean O tribe. He is cruel, hateful, powerhungry and Spiteful. O'jahka seeks to spite O'vitah, using his son, O'sona, to get back at the older Nunh. O'vitah has no respect for O'jahka, and sees him only as a power hungry, evil man who needs to be put down. ● Tahla'li Tayuun - O'vitah and Tahla'li are hardly on good terms with each other. He sees the boy as childish and hot headed, and thinks that E"liah could do so much better than the keeper. He hopes perhaps that maybe they both could get along, but Tahla'li's steadfast dislike of him seems to be a deterrent, which only makes O'vitah hate him even more. It's a cruel cycle.

History/Timeline

Rah'na left his home of Gridania about a Fortnight before reaching the Thalanan. He became lost after an Ixali attack which pushed him from the shroud and in to incredibly unfamiliar territory. Here he met with X'linwh, who saved him from a pack of mongrels, and then introduced him to his company in Drybone.

The company left Drybone, persueing their interest to go to Ul'dah for a time. During the trek, they were ambushed by desert dwelling Miqo'te who turned out to not only be X'linwh's tribe, but also tempered by the primal, Ifrit. Rah'na didn't have any participation in the slaughter of Lin's tribe, and is mostly oblivious to the details that came from it.

After spending time in Ul'dah, Rah'na has become a bit more uneasy with his skills as an archer. After assisting the U tribe in forgotten springs, and almost being killed, Rah'na has lost much confidence in himself, and while he still wishes to pursue his desire of becoming a bard, he's very much unsure of himself after the incident.

UPDATE, 3/2/2014:

The company has decided to move on to Gridania. After a grueling and stressful few weeks in Ul'dah, Rahn'a is happy to be moving on to his home city. He's been depressed and sad as of late, with his affection towards a member of the group being denied. He's been left feeling useless, unwanted, and overall a broken-hearted kitty. The trip to Gridania was no better, and when they arrived, was made worse by the disappearance of his tribe. Left with no one but his Cousin, Rahn'a will continue with the group to Coerthas, but has much of a desire to stay in Gridania and search for his tribe.

UPDATE, 3/11/2014

Arriving in Coerthas, Rahn'a has been poisoned by an unknown hand. He was kept within the Observatory by his team mates. Others went off to perform various tasks and missions, leaving him to recover. However... Within the darkness of Stone Vigil, a close friend of his was killed.. Rahn'a must now deal and cope with the loss, as his whole group must now do.

UPDATE, 4/7/2014

Rahn'a and the others returned to Ul'dah. In the wake of the death of their friend, X'linwh, the group mus now come to terms and cope with the loss. Rahn'a most of all, seems to have grown up a bit, and matured a small bit since they had returned. However, at times, bouts of depression hit him, and he begins to doubt himself. He desperately wishes to go on to Limsa Lominsa, perhaps to be rid of the memories the Jewel of the Desert holds for him.
