S'sehko stands at around 5'7", with a toned physique and tanned complexion. His light brown hair is cut short, with braids along one side, and an assortment of tribal charms decorating the other. Well-groomed along with the rest of his hair, his ears and tail are of average size and length. His right eye is a shade of blue, and his left a shade of turquoise, both with the usual slit pupils of his kind.
Scars & Markings: S'sehko bears numerous scars across his body, from small, to large. The most notable of which being a long scar across his back, from his right shoulder down to the left of his hip, and a small gash across the tattoo upon his cheek - the mark of his tribe, depicting a Zu in flight, with Azeyma's sigil rising over its back.
Voice: Speaking with a soft, but slightly gruff voice, S'sehko's accent sways between Ul'dahn and Limsan often, depending on who he's talking to, or sometimes just his mood. Having learnt most of his Eorzean through trial and error interactions with the locals, his grasp of the language is far from fluent, but he knows enough to get by. It is not uncommon for some words of his tribe's Huntspeak to slip through now and then, being his native language, he prefers to speak this tongue whenever he can.
Clothing: When it comes to combat, S'sehko favors light armor over all else, for its lighter weight and freedom of movement. This is often the case with his casual attire as well, owning only a few pieces of clothing, and preferring those of his tribe's make over any from the cities, regardless of comfort. Most all of his clothing is decorated with a fair amount of tribal charms and feathers, especially anything acquired from the city, his way of making them more his own.
Once a care-free and adventurous hunter of the Zu tribe, a series of events saw S'sehko take his place as nunh and acting leader of his people. Rising to meet the responsibility with pride, he strives to maintain a strong, confident and stoic disposition to preserve tribe appearances. Fiercely loyal to both his family and his friends, he is a compassionate person at heart, always willing to help a friend in need. Sehko can be incredibly stubborn, and has a very short temper, the two paring especially poorly in the face of his own failures... or someone he dislikes. To such people he can be brash and confrontational, and is not above acts of savagery should his rage be provoked.

NPC
S'lahi Tohra( ♥ )( Huntsister )
S'sehko's hunting partner and most trusted sister, the two were inseparable in their youth, getting up to much mischief around the tribe's lands. Now, she serves as the acting elder for the tribe, relaying instructions from Sehko during his absence.
S'yamah Tia( ♥ )( Little Brother )
Determined to one day become nunh, like his father S'rahr; S'yamah protected the position from all those who would seek to take it. That was until his mysterious departure some few weeks after S'sehko, from which he never returned, instead taking up with a gang of thieves, forsaking the honor of his tribe. S'sehko and the other Tia eventually reunite, following the attack upon the tribe, and after much convincing, Yamah agreed to return and aid in the rebuilding effort.
S'zhetvi Rahr( ♥ )( Little Sister )
The fifth daughter of S'rahr, S'zhetvi is a hunter and leatherworker at heart. With many of the tribe's hunters and artisans lost during the kobold attack, S'sehko has been lending her a hand in improving her skills.
S'mhozu Tohra( ♥ )( Sister )
Having shared the same mother, one would think that Sehko and Mhozu would be closer, this however was not so. And only recently, with so few left in the tribe, have the two gotten to know each other. A skilled forager, Mhozu knew every plant and berry in their old hunting grounds, and now keeps herself busy finding and learning the strange plant-life native to their new home.
S'hezha Tohra( ♥ )( Older Sister )
Once the huntsister of their late brother S'tahh Tia, S'hezha is an excellent spear fisher and woodworker, putting both skills to use in providing food and shelter for the tribe, always competing with herself, or perhaps her brother, for the old times... She has made it clear on numerous occasions that she disagrees with S'sehko's leadership, vocal in her belief that her huntbrother should be in his place.
S'vnaali Tohra( ♥ )( Sister )
An experienced hunter, boasting near perfect aim, and keen tracking skills, S'vnaali was injured during the attack, putting her out of action for some time, while her wounds heal. Stubborn and restless, Vnaali took up cooking, preparing her sisters' catches, and passing on the methods to young S'mhnebi.
S'mhnebi Rahr( ♥ )( Little Sister )
S'mhnebi is the youngest surviving member of the tribe, and S'rahr's twelfth daughter. Aspiring to be a forager in the past, prior to the attack, she has since turned her focus to cooking, learning from S'vnaali and S'sehko, fearful of foraging in the heights they now call home. Taken by S'ruka's likeness to the Nunh, Mhnebi finds a sense of safety in his presence, and has been sneaking him small snacks out of the tribe's stores for some time now.
S'yresha Tohra( ♥ )( Sister )
A hunter and a forager of the tribe, S'yresha's adventurous nature has taken her far in their new territory already, sharing her many findings with S'mhozu, as the two keep notes on the various new varieties of fauna and flora.
S'khali Tohra( ♥ ✖ )( Mother )
S'sehko's mother, to whom he owes many of his cooking and foraging skills. A woman of little words, she was supportive of her tribe and her children. She perished, along with many of her daughters during the Kobold attack.
S'tohra Nunh( ♥ ♠ ✖ )( Father )
S'sehko's father, and son of S'fher. He sired many children during his time as nunh, before losing himself to grief over the loss of his mate, for which all the tribe suffered, his children becoming targets of abuse, before his subsequent defeat and exile at the hand of his eldest son, S'rahr. Some seventeen summers later he returned, seeking to revive his lost lover with the bodies of their children, a plot thwarted by the youngest of his sons, S'sehko, whose partner took the old nunh's life.
S'rahr Nunh( ♥ ♥ ✖ )( Big Brother )
S'sehko's oldest brother, and everything he aspired to be; dreams that were shattered with his defeat at S'rahr's hands, during a challenge for his place of nunh. S'rahr was killed during the Kobold attack, at the hands of beastmen, and no man of the Zu.
S'zhesu Fher( ♥ ♠ ✖ )( Tribe Elder )
The eldest of S'fher's daughters, S'zhesu was the first elder to assume leadership alongside the current nunh, to ensure that the tribe was not brought to ruin once again, or at least that is what was expected of her. In the end, S'zhesu abused her power as elder to influence the choices of the nunh, by ways of twisting tradition, and myriad persuasive methods. When these facts came to light,
she was exiled, not long after the tribe's attack. It is believed she fell to the jaws of a beast, mere days into life on her own.
174th Order Patriarch Ga Zu( ♠ ♠ ✖ )
Leader of the 174th Order Kobolds, and their attack upon the tribe lands, Ga Zu was as maniacal as he was ruthless, sparing the tribe no quarter as he and his men advanced upon the hunting grounds, seeking to claim it for another of their digs.
S'sehko's near-identical twin brother. Separated at a young age, S'ruka has lived a very different life than his brother, one of abuse and slavery, until he broke free, roaming the wilds in a near feral state, until being reunited after seventeen long summers. The two now live together alongside their sisters of the tribe, many of whom view him as an outsider despite their blood relation,
a view S'sehko aims to change, to guarantee S'ruka a happy future with the family he should have always known.
The first friend S'sehko made upon coming to the citystates, their relationship has been bumpy at best, the Keeper's preference for avoiding trouble often at odds with the Seeker's tendency to get into it. S'sehko considers Qih'li a dear friend, forever appreciative of his aid during a few, especially trying times.
Another of a Zu tribe, though a different sect altogether, and one of only the strongest of warriors at that. S'sehko holds no small amount of respect for S'imba, his strength in battle, and ability to keep going, no matter what befalls him, feats Sehko believes all of the S would be proud of...even if S'imba's tales are prone to embellishment.
A Garlean defector that once had earned S'sehko's trust, friendship, and for a time, something more. Ever a Garlean at heart, however, Lucius' ceaseless attempts to change S'sehko to see things his way eventually tore the two apart, the Seeker rooted in the ways and traditions of his kind. S'sehko's views of the man have long since deteriorated, despising Lucius for his betrayal of the tribe, and breaking of his word.
Powerful mage, dangerous and unpredictable, with even more chaotic magicks, Kataani and S'sehko have seen many confrontations, his hatred for the woman only growing with every loss.
An old friend, always supportive, and yet always secretive. What he was always up to, S'sehko is still unsure, but whatever occupied the hyur's time must have been dangerous, and his expert knowledge on voidsent does leave one to wonder...
Skilled in many arts and fighting styles, Arylisse earned S'sehko's respect from the moment they met, for her skills and tendency to say exactly what he wanted to hear. For a time, he looked up to her as something of a second mother, though no longer, as they have since grown distant.
A great friend, and a great cook, Ariaut has helped Sehko recover from numerous blows, with good advice and good food, the Seeker is very grateful for his aid, and wishes only that he could return it in kind somehow.
For quite some time, Sehko harboured a strong fear of the Au Ra, for their intimidating, lizard-like features. And it was for those very features that he mocked Toshikage at first, until through a growing friendship, he realised they weren't all so bad, and came to see Toshi as one of his most trusted friends, and eventually, something more. Recent events drew the two apart as Toshi works tirelessly to restore his clan, and S'sehko to rebuild his tribe.
A theif, and ninja, with both a good and bad way with words. A fountain of good advice to most of his friends, and also, the source of much of Sehko's anger, often questioning why anyone puts up with such a man, even if deep down, he's grateful for all of Blade's help.
An intimidating Keeper of the Moon, and experienced Monk, Sae had agreed to teach Sehko in the ways of the art for a time, however this never came to be. S'sehko looks up to the Keeper greatly, though these days doubts whether or not learning the ways of the Monk from him would have been wise.
A tribe-less Seeker of the Sun, Ikaros has mocked Sehko a number of times, for his dedication to his tribe. Viewing him as no more than a disrespectful "stray", S'sehko would happily pick a fight if it were not for Qih'li, and his seemingly close friendship with the other Seeker.
S'sehko knows very little about the lalafell from Sharlayan, other than that he's the good-hearted sort, and is trusted by many. And that's good enough for him, though he hopes the time will come when they can spar, that he might learn more of his new friend.
Name Goes Here( Status Icons Go Here )( PC ) - Title Given By Character Goes Here
Pretty much just left this here so the template didn't mess up.
An adventurer at heart, S'sehko has journeyed much of the realm, and even beyond, on a few occasions. While he hasn't made as big a name for himself as he might like to think, his uncivilized tendencies and adventuring exploits have earned him something of a reputation. Good or bad? Depends who you ask. Some of the rumors below are untrue, speculation, or are greatly exaggerated.
