This young man certainly was not subtle; he stood tall, slightly above average for his race and bore a frame that spoke volumes in regards to his training. Long and lean, he maintained a figure that could easily bear the weight of armor and while his posture indicated at least some knowledge in propriety, it often gave way to ease and informality in the blink of an eye. His was a youth hardened by experience, dark, ashen black flesh bore a series of scars and his vibrant mauve gaze maintained a certain level of scrutiny and suspicion. Deep, raven black locks framed his sharp, youthful features, haphazardly cut to en-shadow his eyes. There was a calm strength about him, a confidence that knew no bounds. He seemed to smile little, slow to camaraderie and laughter, though just as easily could be seen sharing a drink with his fellows, harboring the subtle hints of amusement that seemed so uncommonly rare.
Dark leathers cling to his lean frame, fastened into place with multiple straps and belts criss-crossing here and there. The leather itself appears soft and supple, worn well over time and despite the close fit it seems to be comfortable, allowing for ease of movement. Beneath the leathers and over other portions of his body the faint sheen of scarring can be seen, ragged and telling. He was not one foreign to the sight of battle nor its pains and consequences.
Found frequently in accompaniment to the man was a pair of blades, a longbow shaped of ebony and various other hidden effects. His most prized pair of blades were well detailed, and bore a sheen that spoke volumes of his dedication to care. Clearly of expert make the blades possessed an intricate series of carvings, and well placed gems. The longbow was equally just as exquisite, boasting detailed filigree and carvings upon the risers, bound with dark leathers about the grip.
Few know the Miqo'te Ranger and fewer still know the truth of his origins. Rumor has it that he was discovered as an infant in the depths of the Black Shroud, the remnants of his clan left butchered around him. Whispers and suspicion were his company as he grew among the residents of Gridania and while he showed promise in the art of archery, he was never permitted instruction by the various Guilds that shaped the foundations of youth. Some rare few took sympathy upon the boy, while others expressly hindered him at every turn, daring him to challenge them and seal his fate.
It was a long and arduous road that hardened him, enabled him as a young adult, to take on his own responsibilities and provide for the community that first sought to take upon them his burden. Time and again he was recruited as a tracker and scout, employed as a fail safe to move ahead of hunting parties, an expendable but reliable resource, and time and again he succeeded... until he did not.
They say that bandits had fooled him, that a trap had been laid out before him and to which he fell prey. They say he did nothing at all, that it was his plan all along. A taste of bitter vengeance for his miserable existence. That he laid in wait, and watched as his fellows were cut down, slain in the dark of night. None dared to suggest that it was simply a mistake, that they were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time, not when so many lives had been lost.
The boy from the shadows was stripped of his title, of his home and cast out by his peers, left to tread the depths the Shroud alone. Opportunity and circumstance lead him from the cover of the great canopy into the distant and relative unknown, traversing deserts and taking on simple tasks before he came to Ul'dah.
In the city of fortune and blood, no one knew his name, they knew not of the rumors and whispers. There, he found a new sense of purpose and direction, met those who he might consider friends, but always in the back of his mind the thoughts lingered; of his past, of his failures and of those who had died because of him. He knew that he would never escape it, he would never truly move on, not until he learned the truth...
●Teirra Lihzeh : On a rare visit to the Shroud, Rahje'ir managed to witness one of the enchanting Miqo'te's performances at the Dragon's Crown. Managing to narrowly dodge one of her boots earned him a visit and a shared interest finds them lined up for a potential date in the near future. Past experiences leave Rahje a little skeptical of the whole thing but he remains as open-minded as he can be with regards to the woman.
●L'koliwe Tyatu : The thief managed to swipe some coins off the male, though not without recognition. The act amused him and while he took it rather light-hearted, the sassy Miqo'te seemed less than pleased to find out that he knew. They parted ways for a time though managed to stumble upon each other again by chance while Rahje was camped outside the city. With a little coaxing she joined him for a brief period to share the fire and some tentative conversation was had. Since their meeting, Rahje'ir has extended the offer to work together and the pair are soon sea-bound for the distant lands of Othard, seeking work and adventure.
●Lunelle Thibault : A chance encounter saw that the rather elegant Elezen and Miqo'te met, stumbling into each other in the streets of Ul'dah. What began as a misunderstanding at first grew into a night of curiosity and conversation as the pair learned they had a few things in common. Months passed that the two grew closer, confiding in one another and caring for one another as friends. The connection was uncanny and undeniable and though it took time, they both admitted their feelings for one another. While wary of the idea of a relationship, he maintained a close connection with the woman and considered her one of his closest friends though recently has not heard from her. He has since become embittered to the relationship, uncertain as to what he did wrong and now remains skeptical with regards to other relationships, wary of trusting another again.
♥Mina Kyunei(NPC): Rahje happened upon the little Miqo'te thief in his youth and took her under his wing. He remains fond of her and despite no blood relation considers her as a sister. While they have since been separated, they maintain an interest in each other's well being.

- Long Story Arcs - Long Term Role Play With a history of developing many long term storylines, some going back as far as 10 years, these tend to be my absolute favorite, and I am always looking for those of a similar mind looking to make a lasting tale.
- Short and Sweet While long term may be my preference that will not keep me from enjoying the welcome diversities that short term acquaintances have to offer! From tavern escapades to bumping into someone in an alley, all provide fantastic opportunities to make great connections.
- Mature Content As one interested in leading some dark and dramatic tales I would be remiss not to mention that I am open to such things. Content of a graphic nature from violence(gruesome battle, torture, abuse etc), language and romantic relations are fair game so long as they make sense for the storyline. Have any concerns whether or not something will fly? Feel free to ask me first!
- Theft/Skullduggery Rahje will take any jobs related to theft, artifact recovery, treasure hunting and scouting/spying. Also as something of an outlaw himself, he would easily be open to receiving the same treatment and would likely take it in stride. Simply message with your intent and we'll see how it plays out!
- Nonsensical I will not RP that which does not make sense for my character or for the storyline at hand, if it is out of realistic boundaries within the setting or character and preferences.
- Perma-death/Maiming Unless the details have been previously discussed on an OOC basis, I will not accept nor recognize any attempts on the life of my character, or those that would result in permanent injury.
Audio Inspiration:
Often-times music will inspire a storyline or remind me of a character and as such I will link some of my favorites here whenever I come across them. Enjoy!
