Character

General

Kage was once a Dunesfolk Lalafell whose family have lived in the Thanalan for many, many years. He was traveling through Thanalan, The Clutch area, when he spied something that festered a strange feeling within him. He was driven and inspired by the events he saw. He saw Papashan and other Sultansworn come to the aid of another. It became the driving force within him to train to be a paladin and to eventually become Sultansworn. This led to him meeting with the Sultansworn, Natalie, as well as others that she knew. Recent events has caused him to realize that the politics of the job and those of Ul'dah might be something that he's not yet prepared for. However, with his family he is determined to see things through, especially for them. It is unknown to Kage how he became a Miqo'te Sunseeker. He had finished his patrol in his new occupation as a Brass Blades and was using the aethernet when next he knew it was bells later and he was naked in his new form in Crescent's Cove near Horizon. Moons later, after trials and tribulations of relationships and his career, Kage was in Limsa with amnesia. When whatever failed experiment or procedure was done to him wore off, the shock of it restored Kage's memories.

Appearance

Kage has the height of the shortest of adult male Dunesfolk Lalafell with blue hair with highlights of a red shade.

Behavior

Once he's comfortable and willing to open up, Kage will be happy to give people as good as he takes it. He's shy, soft-spoken, reserved and mild-mannered but also playfulwhen with friends. He cares very much for those he becomes friends with. As such, he does not take well to being insulted for seeing whether his friends are in danger or being harassed. Only his self-restraint keeps him from lashing out at someone physically or violently for doing so. He's very forceful when he feels like his friends need to be defended from physical or personal attack. He does not easily make friends by himself, usually making friends from friends. He can be found sitting on the rail in Quicksand, outside of Quicksand by Ruby Road, or sitting at a table in the Airship landing. Kage finds it very hard to lie to people to their faces and usually would prefer not to unless for a good reason. Thus, he hates it when people lie to him. He has a lot of anxieties about himself, but he's started to grow stronger as his training progresses. He believes in his friends and is generally too "goody two shoes". He wouldn't enforce this belief unto others, especially his friends, unless he thought that the trouble for them is too much or if it puts them into danger. He doesn't like it when his friends get hurt, being upset that they would not ask him for help or for him to cover their backs. He does not have a rigid sense of judgment only a subjective right or wrong on how people are affected.

Relationships

Family

Kage's mother's side of the family had a heavy focus in thaumaturgy and a few tomes ready for study on some black magicks. Kage's father comes from a family who specialized in goldsmithing. His father does quite well in goldsmithing so that Kage and his family were never in want. Kage has two siblings, an older brother and a younger sister. His brother continues the family's goldsmithing business while his sister has turned to alchemy. Kage was disowned by his family when he was, later found to be temporarily, transformed into a Miqo'te. Perhaps, not all of them if his gift was any indication.

Enemies

Kage is generally easy to get along with and so far has not had the need nor the want to make enemies. However, he has started to have a bit of a dislike for those with lances. He's had quite a few unsavory meetings with those who wield those weapons.
