Appearance

He's a rather tall miquo'te, having the round pupils and the long fangs that identify him as a keeper of the moon. His skin has a grey tone, much like his hair which looks like a dirty grey with a brownish hue. His tail is long and fluffy, showing the same grey colour. His eyes are light blue and around them he has a tattoo which gives him a permanent frowning (or intimidating) look.

He is short sighted and needs glasses. Together with the robes he likes to wear and the books he often carries around, he looks like a sage or scholar. Which, considering his knowledge and occupation, is pretty close to the truth.

Behavior

At first glance he is a silent guy, happy to keep to himself. But in truth he is kinda ambivalent: Despite seeming calm and almost looking like a dreamer when left to his matters, one can discover his rather rough and direct personality when talking to him. He's not outright unfriendly, but he gets annoyed (or bored) easily and he doesnt like wasting time by talking around a matter. He did learn thats it's sometimes better to handle people softly, though.

When it comes to enduring he is very stoic and if someone starts to complain, he most likely is one of the first to shout "Oh come on, don't be such a pansy!" He would still heal you in battle, though. Additionally to his direct approach, he is very pragmatic. Also, for him, the end justifies the means.

He highly values his personal freedom, to do what he wants to do at the moment. This ties to a liberal world view. Everyone is free to live as they want, in his opinion.

Also he is rather clumsy. When handling things he is rough, not in the sense of unfriendly, but rather that he can't handle small and delicate things. Give him something fragile and he most likely will break it, unintentionally.

Being an Arcanist and Scholar, he values knowledge and uses magic, but he also is able (and not hesitant) to use brute force if needed (In the sense of punching an annoying friend or a thing that is stuck).

He is prone to making sarcastic comments or jokes.

Because he was born into a rich family, money was never a problem for him, therefore he has a somewhat carefree attitude when it comes to living. He grew up in a city and is not accustomed to the wilderness, although he did go out to shoot a bow and some friends took him to hunt sometimes.

Dislikes

• "Stupidity" (Yes, that is a broad term too, he dislikes what he views as stupid)

• Broccoli

Hobbies/Talents

• He has a certain musical talent. He is able to play harp and he wouldnt have much problems taking up other instruments should he encounter them. Also he humms from time to time, when he's in a good mood.
• Although being a city dweller and not being accustomed to nature that much, he likes the simple beauty of nature and the wilderness.
• He reads books for both entertainment and knowledge, but not everything. Just what he likes and that's subjective to him. In most cases he reads a book just once, after that he says "I already know it. A second time it would be boring, as i know already whats coming."

• ♥ T'lamila Sheqa- WIP.

History/Timeline

He was born and raised in Limsa Lominsa, second son to a "small" family of keeper miquo'te. His mother, Sini Shadar (52), is a Trader who came to riches in the Thalassocracy. He has 5 siblings: Sini'a (32) Captain of the familys trading ship, Camille (28) who took over their mothers trading business, Senna (25) a mathematical genius who oversees their finances, Lori (20) and Fran (18) the youngest who are inseperable. His father Zeri'a Zolani (53) is a traveling trader who -normal to miquote keeper customs- doesnt live permanently with the Shadars and probably has children with other keeper woman somewhere else too.

Unlike his 3 older siblings, Sini'to never liked the trading business, lacking the needed social competences. From the beginning he was a silent, reclusive child. A dreamer, easily distracted and more occupied with himself than others. When his family got a new book in their hands, he was one of the first to stick his nose into it. He also got his fingers on his mothers harp and she soon realised that he most probably won't grow to be a great warrior or trader, rather a thinker or aesthete. Luckily he also had an innate ability for magic so it was concluded that it was this path he had to take, so he got sent to the arcanist guild to join their ranks.

It was there that he met Rinh Hallani, a talented yet rough young woman from the black shroud with an uncomfortable past. Despite her restrained manners, her off-closedness and her getting easily annoyed by his jokes, there was something about her that fascinated him, mostly her ambitious and direct aproach. They started traveling together and despite a rough start their relationship blossomed into something more.

Sini'to refined his magical arts and even ranked up in the maelstrom company. He got to be Leutenant and is very proud of it, wearing his uniform. Sadly, over time the relationship with Rinh turned out to not make them both happy, so they had to end it. After a time with both sad and happy phases, they parted ways to pursue their own ways.
