Hirokuli Zerokuli
[edit]
HIROKULI ZEROKULI (Pronunciation: He-row-koo-li Zee-row-koo-li),Hirokuli (or Hiro) as he is called by his friends is a young and spirited Lalafell Pugilist. Starting out from a family of 13 brothers and sisters, he is used to a large family and constantly being surrounded by people. Growing up on the tail end of his parents breeding campaign he was subjected to physical labor by his older siblings and constant teasing and the pressures of being "low man on totem pole". However, due to his upbringing young Hiro is near impervious to mental subjugation and once he sets his mind on something, he is going to do just that. He is physically shaped just like any member of the Lalafell race with the exception of his muscular constitution. Constant labor and chores have toned his muscles to a very peculiar hardness. In the terms of his 4th oldest brother Jarakuli, "hitting him is like trying to punch a mountain face". He is not bulky nor abnormally huge in his peoples standards, just much more solidly built. His body type quite naturally drove him to more and more physically demanding roles, such as the pursuit of the Pugilist way of life. Even as a novice he could usually just shrug off blows from monsters several times bigger than himself, and the training only enhanced his speed and tone even more. His eyes on becoming one of the most acclaimed Monks in the world, Hiro is constantly training both his body and his mind daily trying to reach his goal..
Like most members of the Lalafell race, Hirokuli is tiny, almost diminutive. Standing a fraction above 3 fulms tall it would be quite easily to dismiss him as just another child or Lalafell. However Hiro has one particular trait that tends to stand out and that is his eyes. His right one a brilliant silver color, and his left a shimmering gold, his eyes seem to give off their own inner "light" of sorts with how luminous they are. Many a female (and even some males) have been caught by his gaze and quickly avert the stare. This is mostly due to the fact that, according to one storeowner in Ul'dah said, "its almost as though he can see right into your soul, and know what you are thinking and feeling". This is of course not true at all, as Hiro has no powers of mind reading. His hair is short, but he consistantly looks as if he just rolled out of bed and ran a hair through it. His entire body is covered in scars, mostly minor yet some deeper, the deepest of course is a puncture wound through his chest that exits out the back.
Fun-loving. Prankster. Fiercely Loyal.Hirokuli is open, friendly, knowledgeable, a little sarcastic, and a prankster. He knows the power his eyes have on other people and knows full well that people do not like to look him in the eyes because of it. So he will challenge people to staring competitions and secretly delight in the micro-expressions of terror shot his way. He will then laugh not in mockery, just in jest and proceed to buy the lad or lass a drink, or five. Hiro enjoys his drink well and has before tried to master the apparent "art" of "Drunken Boxing". However, according to his brothers, it was just an excuse to drink during his growing up, and perhaps, an excuse to inflict some light bruising on the older siblings who put him to work daily. He knows well his own limitations and what he can and cannot do, but that only drives him to take on challenges slightly exceeding those to see how far he can push himself. Happy, fiercely loyal to his friends and family, honest and a little wild, Hiro isn't usually the life of a party, but he sure does at to it.
Hiro is a mainly a Pugilist, however he has dabbled a bit in the spear, bow and sword. He prefers hand to hand fighting though, calling it "the true test of intention". Hiro believes anyone who is willing to go up-close and personal with an opponent is just trying to find their own personal "Way of Life" just like he is. He doesn't enjoy hurting his fellow denizens of Eorzea, yet will occasionally jump into a friendly dual if he knows the person well enough. Against monsters or any chaotic destructive entity that knows only how to take life, he will charge in willingly and fight to the death, not because he believes he must save someone, though that has been known to happen. Mostly, he does it because he enjoys the challenge of fighting for his own convictions against an opposing force with convictions directly conflicting his own.
Here is a list of recent and/or notable fights, roleplay scenes, etc. that CHARACTER has been a part of. This list is by no means all inclusive, and serves more as a general reference as to what HE/SHE has been up to.
Hirokuli was born lucky number thirteen, and the last child his mother would ever carry. His father planned on having him follow his other brothers in growing the family business, yet time displayed Hiro had a much different calling. From a very young age, his brothers put him to work carrying bags of grain twice his height, and moving objects a child simply shouldn't be able to do. Remarkably, Hiro doesn't hate his brothers for essentially using him as 'slave labor', as this made his body far, far stronger than the average lalafell. Having the necessary smarts to go into the Merchant Guild his father ran, he chose instead to be an adventurer and see the world. He brought along his sibling with promise of gold, fortune, fame and women, and during the adventures they grew remarkably close. Tragically, that all changed when a rival guild unleashed a land crab in a small cavern that decimated his party and claimed the life of his brother and himself, until he was resurrected by Cacaphony. A cruel mistress with the power of blood magic and the most enchanting voice heard, she told Hiro who came after his family, and demanded thirty-seven lives as payment for his own. As a result, he donned a white mask and dark clothes, and started murdering those assigned to him. His executions were ruthless, savage, looking more like a wild animal attack with the shredded lumps of flesh he left in his wake. His fellow assassins gave him clear passage as well, some of them commenting that he wasn't human at all but a demon, hellbent on revenge. It was not until he killed the merchant lord in question that he mysteriously vanished for 2 long years. What emerged was a different lalafell, one that could smile, could cry, something more complete and thankfully 'human'. .
Hiro tends to keep his own affairs pretty damn private, except if people simply ask and keep asking. Current known wareabouts after leaving Envisage of Night is within the Fenith Conglomerate with his lover Datura Venenum. They co-own a bakery/cafe in the Mists and have seem some good revenue and memories there.

Overall, I'm pretty chill as far as guidelines go. I don't have an extensive list of 'Do's or 'Don't's or things that I personally find triggering. So chances are, you won't offend me or make me uncomfortable unless you're trying to or just being really skeevy in general. Still, for the sake of making sure everyone's on the same page here, let me make a few mentions in particular:
