Character

General

Rhaga is one of the few Xaela of the Urumet tribe to make his way to Eorzea. He came shortly after the Garlean occupation of Othard sunk its claws into the deepest deserts. Both the constant in-fighting among Xaela tribes and the scarce resources of the desert had made life hard for Rhaga and the Urumet, but with that hardship came a certain resilience that was hard to replicate among the more pampered people of the world. Still, that was not enough to keep the Urumet going as they were, so the Elders of his tribe sent Rhaga to the great Eorzean desert city, Ul'dah, hoping he could learn of their ways and bring back that knowledge to the Urumet.

Though Rhaga found it hard to live among Eorzeans at first, he eventually was able to accomplish his mission. Through deep-well digging, water filtering, and link pearl communication, Rhaga felt he had enough information to bring back to Othard and share with his Elders. Unfortunately the Garlean occupation had doubled its efforts in the time he was away, and Rhaga found himself locked out of the borders of his homeland, and even facing off against Garlean encroachments on Eorzean soil. He had nowhere to turn except back towards Ul'dah, to try and continue living the life he had been making for himself.

Although he felt alone as an Au Ra among Eorzeans, after only a few months, Rhaga would soon realize that he was not. Thousands of other refugee Au Ra started appearing all over the continent, lost and bewildered. Though he pledged not to forget about his tribe, Rhaga couldn't help but start to try and help the other Au Ra that needed it. He had found a sort of calling beyond that which his Urumet Edler's had given him, and it is that purpose that drives Rhaga forward today. Trying to unite the disparate cultures of the Xaela may seem like a hopeless cause to some, but he and other like-minded Auri are resolved to do just that.

Appearance

Rhaga is tall and well muscled, having grew up as a warrior and scout for his tribe in the deserts of Othard. Like most of his people he has sun-darkened brown skin and black hair, though his eyes are a light shade of blue in both iris and limbal ring. He'd often forgo modesty in favor of less stuffy and hot clothing on Othard, but has since found Eorzean climates too cold for his liking. These days he often dresses in layers of cloth and leather armor when not in combat, while shifting to the high quality Eorzean light plated armors when expecting trouble. He still hasn't found a tailor or armorer that can make a proper headpiece around his curving black horns though, but Rhaga takes that in stride with a smile.
