Always a Work In Progress

As a quick note, play with Ta'kheo tends to push the boundaries on a variety of issues. Consider this to be a bit of a trigger warning for the following which may include graphic violence, sexual violence, violence in general, drug use, strong language, and the occasional horrible joke.

Ta'kheo Nunh, born upon the twelfth sun of the first umbral moon (Feb 11th), was not an ordinary miqo'te as his tribe was not an ordinary tribe. As a splinter of one of the original twenty-six, the Chimera Tribe (prounounced tah) was known for their underhanded dealings. As many females did not trust to go to such an outcast tribe, many of the breeding females were stolen from other tribes. They were not valued and wooed but instead forced into their proper place of submission. Ta'kheo learned from a young age the meaning of keeping the values of one's self and family above any outside forces due to such an upbringing, twisting the young mind past recognition. He was scarred at a young age in the traditional manner of his tribe, his flesh already echoing the skin of his grandmother -- a keeper female who had been captured in the same fashion as many of the females of the Chimera tribe.

Yet, no matter the blood that was spilled, Kheo had always had an affinity for such a lifestyle. He was far more sinister than those about him, slaughtering his way easily to the title of Nunh from an early age. He lingered about for some time -- until disaster struck. His tribe had been betrayed in a false dealing that had involved half a dozen breeding females. Voidsent descended upon the tribe, and only few survived. He now travels the world, seeking out... something. Always something.

Appearance

Ta'Kheo's skin was not quite so ashen as a keeper, but the darkness was unmistakable. It held a deep chocolate tone, broken only by the silvered scarring of his flesh resulting both from professional and artistic matters. A lion's mane topped his head, shining that deep auburn and gold of his seeker lineage. It was kept shaggy as Kheo was simply fond of such a casual hairstyle. Two ears, as short as any Seeker's, sprouted in a similar color. The left ear looked as if it had been a bit torn, the cartilage no longer able to support it as easily. Because of this, it often hung lower than its companion no matter the piercing or ornament; often flopping down upon the side until the tip stood level with the top of his head.

His eyes were the vivid green of Viper tribe and that of his mother -- no doubt another borrowed element as befit the namesake of Chimera tribe. They held the slight shine during the night of any miqo'te, though they often seemed much more vivid during the day. Kheo's face was well constructed, though it was hard to hide the firm angles that age and maturity had given his features. His chin and jawline was left unshaven, though such only meant a modest beard of that fiery hair was left lining his firm jawline. A few smaller, unintentional scars marred his features but none so large as the two lines carved over his cheeks towards the sides of his nose. The flesh was slightly darkened there due to an issue healing as these had been the first of many scars intentionally carved into the flesh of the miqo'te. They were a marking of the Chimera tribe, and he wore them proudly upon his face.

His body was lean and muscular as any miqo'te that thrived in battle. However, the artwork that strewn across his body was both beautiful and grotesque as each raised bump was caused by line upon line of carved flesh, building up the silvered scar tissue with each new cut.

Personality

Personality Summary:

Flirtatious and mischievous at first glance, Kheo rarely allows his sadistic side to show so easily; though there may be a hint dropped here or there that there was something darker than what is normally let on. He is happy-go-lucky and is often quite eloquent. He is jovial even in the face of danger, though such danger is often caused by himself. There simply is no barriers or filters for the dark skinned miqo'te as he sees little issue with trying to get a rise out of people in any way possible. Because of his adoration for such conflict, he pushes and pulls at individuals just to see the reaction, often flirting with the mates of other miqo'te or taking small, sentimental possessions from those he came across. If such confrontation does venture towards violence, Kheo basks in it. As a sadomasochist, Kheo finds great pleasure in both receiving and inflicting pain. He is rarely concerned, only holding on enough that his life would not be permanently affected by injury or death. This attitude is enhanced when confronted with the reality of being a Nunh, often putting on a ruse that his tribe is expansive. He has no reservations against his actions against people, though he does prefer the finer sex to males simply due to ease of manipulation and the relative simplicity in which to control them. While he is rarely ever blatantly unfriendly, there is always a hint of maliciousness in his actions hidden behind layers of subterfuge. This masque rarely ever drops to the point that he had successfully convinced himself of his true lack of emotion due to the severe psychological trauma thrown upon him since he had been a young boy.

Really, that boy can get off on a whipping." - Keeper of the Moon Female ■ "He often visits bars, insults the Tias, and flirts with other Nunh's mates. Stay away from him. He's a troublemaker." - Bartender of the Missing Member ■ "That boy loves his chocolate milk... I've never seen someone get so upset when we said we didn't serve any! I run a jewelry store!" - Ul'dah Jewelry Merchant ◢ Difficult Rumors ■ "He's part keeper. That's why he hates them so much. Look at his dark skin and tail! He has to be!" - Drunken Highlander ■ "Did you see his chest and back? There's a bunch of patterns that had been carved out and scarred over!" - Elezen Harlot ■ "I've seen one of his mates before... She didn't look so good." - Hyur Streetmerchant ◢ Rare Rumors ■ "Some say he's the last member of a tribe that was completely destroyed. The hell is a Nunh without a tribe, though?

RELATIONS ♥ Romantic Interest ♥ Platonic Love ● Good Standing ● Poor Standing ● L'vi Lyrre : What was first a simple flirt had changed to business deals and illicit talks... and, when Kheo wound up not being the messenger she thought she was, her and her partner grabbed him, dragged him out of the city, and tortured him. She was the one to rip his ear in two, and she was also the one that Kheo first became friends with soon after. There's a bit of a tug-of-war between them that Kheo absolutely adores. ● Sylas Peregrine : The guardian and partner of L'vi Lyrre, Sylas was the first to be reasonable enough in Kheo's defense... and was soon to be the first shooing him away as a 'snake'. The man seems to be highly apprehensive of Kheo, and for good reason... Kheo can continue to tease and be cordial, but they are two individuals who would not last long before blades were drawn.
