Character
General
The sea was so close, but his father's ship lie in splinters at the bottom of her. His father dead, the crew scattered and his pockets empty, Tausenadel Geispyrsyn found himself coughing up seaweed on the beaches of Thanalan after the Calamity. Sent to sea by 'Admiral' Merlwyb to battle the Garlean incursion, his father and the crew sent the Cactuar's Promise prow first into battle. Remembering naught of that night but the explosive rebirth of Bahamut and said explosion taking the life of his only family, Tau was in a bad state. Wandering through the desert, wounded and alone, he barely made it to a small town before collapsing into the dust. As he came to in the inn, he wasted not a moment longer then he was forced by those caring for him. Once he had his land legs back, he set a course for Limsa Lominsa, returning home to pledge his hands to help rebuild.
Current Activities
Tau has since stumbled upon 'gainful' employment at the hands of one Bazil Zoso. After rescuing the lalafell from hoodlums whom Tau was ASSURED were not loan collectors, Bazil offered him a position in his fledgling business venture. Near desperate for funds, Tau agreed sight unseen and became the first employee of Diamond Dog Couriers. A brand and business dedicated to supplying the world with fast, reliable deliveries not beholden to mystical invisible drunk balls of fluff. So far, work has been strange.
Appearance
Tall for his age, deeply tanned from his years at sea and with a stark green streak through his hair, Tau tends to stand out in a crowd. He doesn't look like he was made for anything delicate, which broad shoulders and calloused hands. Scars dot his body from close-quarters ship-to-ship combat, though he seems pleased when people make note of them.
Behavior
Quick to laugh, quicker to cheer, full of strange superstitions and with no concept of personal space, Tau was clearly raised by pirates. He has been described as 'surprisingly amiable' by one stranger. A fast learner but fairly uncouth, he knows enough to pipe down when told. Being stranded at a young age has left some marks but he seems jovial even when speaking of darker subjects.
Combat
Style
Tau fights with a ferocity that comes from fearlessness. Every battle at sea carries hundreds of awful ways to perish and the only way to prevail is to laugh in the face of every one of them. No matter what is in his hands at the time, it can be assumed Tau will know how to improvise it into a deadly weapon. Ask him for a story about it, he's got plenty.

Relationships
Family
His father, Geispyr, died the night of the Calamity. A full fledged Dragoon running from ...something, he became a welcome member of a boisterous pirate crew when he brought his infant son onto the ship in 1557. Raising in the Captain's favor due to his talents and patience, Geispyr soon became 1st Mate and trained the rest of the crew for combat. Due to age and the exemplary brashness of the captain, Tau's father became Captain for a short time and succeeded in saving his son and a bare handful of crew before the Calamity claimed both his ship and his life.
Tau does not remember much, if anything, of his mother but was told she'd died when he was young.
