Character
General
U'roh is a Seeker of the Sun hailing from the Forgotten Springs in Southern Thanalan. Formally a warrior of some skill of the tribe U'roh challenged the Nunh and was defeated, leaving him his tell tale scar. Ashamed at his perceived lack of skill he left the tribe and never looked back. He traveled through the scorching sands of Thanalan with naught more then his wits and his will for vengeance against the Amal'jaa. His fortunes changed when he came to the Shroud, at deaths door and content he would be meeting Azeyma, an female Elezen who took him in. Sensing U'roh's desire to better himself and for vengeance, she taught him the art of the lance and encouraged him to travel to perfect his art and grow.
Appearance
At first glance his biggest feature would be the scar that ran from his forehead down across his right eye ((The skin on his right eye lid is also scarred)) to just below his mouth. He is quite hesitant to speak with even trusted friends about this scar, often leaving it at. "It's a reminder." His fur is Dark Brown and he often wears a bandanna over his hair, another thing he does not comment on often. His tail is long haired, making it soft to the touch.
Behavior
In general conversation U'roh is a friendly fellow, cheerfully interacting with those that approach him or he approaches. Quick to make a new friend or exchange tales with fellow adventurers he is quite sociable when he wishes to be. ((WIP))

Combat
General
U'roh's combat style focuses on the Halberd, primarily in ishgardian techniques. Using the weapon to maintain a medium length distance from his opposition as well as using a combination of the weapon's slashing, hooked and pointed edge to effect in creating openings against his foes. When forced into close combat U'roh tries to reestablish the gap with with tricky maneuvers, often using the calling card jumps of Dragoons. If he cannot do that he resorts to the brawling he used in his Tribe days. Using vicious and brutal headbutts, punches, and kicks to fend off attackers.
Time has made Roh more proficient in the use of his soul crystal, he now has more control over his jumps and is able to tap into some other techniques the past owners had used.

History/Timeline
- Early Life/Pre-Defeat:
Roh's early life wasn't nothing out of the ordinary, spending his young days among his tribe in the Forgotten Springs. Learning to hunt and survive off the slim pickings of the Sagolii Desert as well as defending himself the constant threat of the Ifrit worshiping Amalj'aa. As a adolescent he practiced hand to hand combat in this pursuit and often found himself in brawls with other Tias and some extreme cases huntresses of the tribe.
Overall what many tribal seekers would consider a fulfilling life, however after a brutal Amalj'aa raid that led to the death and tempering of a valued friends Roh pleaded to the Nunh to retaliate. Roh was refused, leading to the reckless and experienced young Tia to lose his temper and challenge the Nunh for the title. He was quickly and brutally defeated, however the Nunh spared him for reasons unknown. The next day Roh left the springs out of shame and a new scar to constantly remind him of that day, using it as drive to improve himself and grow stronger.
- Post Defeat:
After he left Roh found he had nothing more then the clothes on his back and the fresh shame in his heart to drive him forward through the howling Sahagoli desert sands. Through force of will he had traversed the sands, barely surviving off what scraps he could scrounge and the scarce water could find. Eventually his travels brought him to the shroud, however by this time his meager supplies had run out and he was at death's door. Collapsing shortly before Quarrymill U'roh fell unconscious, expecting to die. Fate however would deem otherwise, having been found by a Ceaulie. She helped Roh come back to health. After telling him his story, she resolved to train him. Teaching the former brawler how to use a Halberd and many Ishgardian techniques, as well as how to fend for himself for the next few years till Roh had left deciding to make his way in life as a Adventurer.
