An Unorthodox Mi'qote, said to have been born elsewhere to his origins. He was sadly left at the doorsteps of a caring Hyur couple in Gridania, and raised by the estranged academics. He seems to have a rich fondness for elaborate hats, usually pointy or eccentric - to what reason, it is barely known.

Appearance

Purple short hair with long bangs and feathered strands fall across his face, sides and neck; framing his features. His eyes are a bluish purple, darting about the place as they scan the surroundings. A large, black pointy hat covers most of his head-fuzz - whilst matching robes are a must. Something suitable to the clime which is either black or purple.

History

Early life:
His origins seem to be from a sect of the Moon tribe, though it's impossible to say which one, or where. His 'parents' a loving, if not coddling pair of conjurers - named him Kaeus, though keeping the boys natural last name, or perhaps his proper first name; 'moonbelt' found on a scrap of paper. The boy would grow up knowing his parents where not biological, but not finding himself at a loss because of it. Many around him were more in tune with their heritage, but it had never bothered the Mi'qote, who had loftier goals of discovering the world for it's worth.

Education
As according to his parents, he would undergo the trials of the elements - and in time, he became an established conjurer. With his training adequate, he headed to Limsa Lominsa, where he'd been told the Arcanist's guild was a prominent place of study for aspiring magick users. He continued this end for some time, and it was during one such study of an ancient ruin he came across ancient imperium conjuring techniques, that led to his abilities as a Scholar.

Adulthood
Since his time with the guild continued, he has explored and searched for many Nymian ruins and studied about their culture in search for higher truths. Occasionally helping adventurers and friends with tasks they required. He would stay at a popular inn within mist most nights, one which was frequented by those considered his allies.

How he became a scholar
during one night, Kaeus slipped off without a trace to check something within a Nymian libraries whereabouts that he had tracked with the help of his guild and friends. It was there he discovered a secret room - activated only by the light of the moon. He entered at midnight by himself, and became trapped for some time. It was almost a comatose state, but the whole while he was informed in ancient techniques and secrets projected into his brain much like training. The process was advanced, and yet still slow. It would take him some days before he emerged, slightly bewildered and unaware that any time had passed whatsoever. He felt that his Abilities had grown, however - and slowly discovered that he had a greater knowledge of Nymian techniques as he wandered out. He discovered the camp had gone some time ago, and that no trace of his companions remained.

Sharlayan Arch
Kaeus has been searching heavily, for more scraps of information into his newfound abilities, as well of those about Sharlayan. As of recent, he has discovered something of worth about his family name in the Great Gubal Library. His parents had a lineage amidst those who once inhabited Sharlayan - and it would seem they had left clues for him to discover, amidst multiple ruins and locations. Kaeus hadn't the faintest clue why, or what this all meant. But he would add it to his many things to keep a tab on.

These barriers can negate a large amount of kinetic and magical damage. (SCH) 4. Able to summon a Carbuncle that is Amethyst in hue and name.
