Taz'tri Xerr is the son of two Limsa Lominsan Roegadyns, who adopted him at age three. Most of his young life was spent sneaking in and out of the Arcanists guild, learning summoning and limited healing magic. At age 8, he was found to have a form of hereditary blindness - and by age 11, all of his sight was lost. In the following years he ventured to Gridania to learn what he could of the ways of a conjuror. Between his departure and return, he came into possession of a Scholar's Soul. An acquisition he refuses to dignify with a straight explanation. Having now abandoned the pursuit of knowledge, Taz'tri works as a public medic and healer with a specialization in treating poisons and internal injury.

Appearance & Personality

Short in stature and perfect in posture, Taz'tri is anything but an intimidating presence. All his hair, save for the bangs - which frame his dark face in white - is jet black and falls in waves to just below his chin. A grey stripe of paint cuts across his milky-white eyes and hooked nose, and is always joined by a pair of round-lensed spectacles. His clothing seems to have a perfect cycle, an outfit for every day of the week, and they never change. Save for special occasions.

As for disposition, few can boast a personality as genuine and empathetic as Taz'tri. Always quick to smile, he values being polite and kind to others over most else, and it can get him into trouble - or into situations he doesn't feel comfortable with, and with no way out. Even as he's unable to look people in the eyes, he tries his best to at least face in the direction of whoever he's speaking to or address. With varying success.

Biography

Taz'tri was orphaned or abandoned at age 3. He's never found a clue as to who his parents were, but he's never tried very hard to find out. Instead, he's reveled in the family he was given by his two adoptive parents, Aernthota and Raging Storm. The two had been a couple for a decade before finding - and deciding to adopt - the runt of a Miqo'te and settling down. However, not knowing any Miqo'te well enough to ask for assistance naming their new child, they approximated as best they could, and Taz'tri has never once thought of changing it.

The two raised him in a small house outside Limsa-proper, letting him sneak off most days to learn at the Archanists guild while the two went to work - Raging Storm to the Maelstrom and Aernthota to the Armorer's guild. His childhood continued to be uneventful until the spring of Taz'tri's eighth year. Having been complaining about his vision dimming, both parents agreed to visit a medic, who revealed the source of the problem: his eyes were starting to deteriorate, a problem caused by a type of hereditary blindness.

Sure enough, by age eleven all of Taz'tri's sight had left him. Undeterred, he continued to labor at learning the arts of magic - turning his focus to the schools of healing. Hearing of the Conjurors Guild in Gridania, he turned to his parents with requests to travel to the Shroud and learn what he could. His parents, understanding there was little else to do, gave into his pleading on his fifteenth birthday and gave him their blessings to make the trip.

Three years of dedicated studying and many, many writing-assisted letters later, Taz'tri returned to Limsa Lominsa. But he didn't only return with newly acquired knowledge - he returned bearing a Scholar's Soul. And with the soul came a faerie, whom he calls Eon. The two are almost inseparable, and Eon is often tucked comfortably in Taz'tri's bags, pockets, or perched on his shoulder. She communicates to him in a buzzing kind of tone that no one else so far has been able to understand, save him. She lends him a hand in navigating settings he doesn't feel comfortable asking for help in.

Now, all his focus and energy is channelled into his work as a public medic. He offers his services of basic healing, wound treatment, and specialized internal trauma and poison care to adventurers and normal residents of Eorzea alike - and at limited cost. But, because of his reduced fees, it's rumored he still lives in Limsa Lominsa - with his parents. Even still, he travels often, meeting friends and patients in most capital cities and a small number of outlying towns.
