- Hair: Naturally a dark, dull grey-brown, streaked with darker tones that are almost black. Dyed with streaks of coral orange in two strips along the top, and the tips of each of four braids. Very long, but kept in complex braids and loops that sit loose at the base of his neck, as well as hanging from the sides of his forehead. Much more hirsute than the average Miqo'te, his thighs and shoulders are covered in dark hairs, as well as his chest running all the way down to his pubic area.
- Fur: The main color of his tail and ears match the same dull grey-brown of his hair. His tail tip is tufted like a lion's, a darker shade with some spotting as it fades back into the lighter color. His ears are also dipped darker, with creamy white circles at the back of each, and pink insides.
- Eyes: Bright aquamarine
- Distinguishing Features: Pierced ears, nipples, and... other areas. Spots are found underneath each of his eyes, on the bridge of his nose, on his shoulders and his hips. He also has dark brown "tear stains" from the inner-edges of his eyes and parallel down to the center of each cheek.
Personality
History
Childhood & Adolescence
R'aqsha was born deep in the Sagolii Desert to the Raptor tribe, one of the twenty-six Seeker of the Sun tribes that settled in Eorzea long ago. They are known for their flashy, dragoon-style hunting techniques that emulate the speed and grace of their totem, the raptor.
As a child and all through adolescence, R'aqsha was taught and trained extensively with a spear by his mother, R'kali. As the de facto matriarch of her clan, she was a crafty and ambitious miqo'te who strived for only the best - especially from her children, and made it her personal mission to prime her son to some day not only become a nunh to their tribe, but a prestigious and powerful one at that.
Besides spear hunting and survival, she also ensured he was book and street smart, teaching him, to the best of her ability, all about the races, cultures and languages he might encounter in Eorzea - uncommon knowledge for miqo'te who usually took no interest in the world outside their own. Trips into Ul'dah and other cities were frequent learning experiences for him.
However, at age sixteen, his schooling abruptly ended when his mother was mortally wounded during a hunting lesson. Her health suffered an agonizingly slow decline over the next year, until an infection in an unhealing wound took her life. The years that followed were dark; R'aqsha fell into a deep depression and gave up any attempts to ascend from tia to nunh, and even considered suicide. He became reckless and irresponsible, living only to over-indulge in drink and other pleasures.
A new chapter of his life began when he turned twenty, and it was discovered one of the women of his tribe was pregnant by him - not a nunh. Unable to cover up his folly, he was faced with the wrath of the leaders of his tribe who would see him and his child murdered. To the current nunh and the rest of the tribe, it seemed like his only options would be to flee or die. They considered him a nuisance, a hinderance at best.
R'aqsha decided, finally, it was time to continue his mother's work - spurred on by his unborn child, whom he refused to see killed. He challenged the current nunh, and won. Leaving the older male wounded, but still alive, he forced him out of the tribe and assumed his new position. But his work was not done; he had to convince the matriarchs and other women that he was worthy of his new position.
Buckling down and resuming his study of lancing and hunting, he gained favor by continually assisting with greater and more magnificent kills to feed their tribe - though he still struggled with a drinking problem. He also took an active role in his newborn daughter's life, giving her the namesake R'Kali - and teaching her what he remembered of his mother's lessons.
