Character

General

U'roh is a Seeker of the Sun hailing from the Forgotten Springs in Southern Thanalan. Formally a warrior of some skill of the tribe U'roh challenged the Nunh and was defeated, leaving him his tell tale scar. Ashamed at his perceived lack of skill he left the tribe and never looked back. He traveled Eorzea for a short while, doing odd jobs for the gil to just barely scrape by. His fortunes changed when he came to the Shroud, happening upon an Elezen who took him in. Sensing U'roh's desire to better himself she taught him the art of the lance and encouraged him to sign up with the Twin Adders.

Appearance

At first glance his biggest feature would be the scar that ran from his forehead down across his right eye ((The skin on his right eye lid is also scarred)) to just below his mouth. He is quite hesitant to speak with even trusted friends about this scar, often leaving it at. "It's a reminder." His fur is Dark Brown and he often wears a bandanna over his hair. His tail is long haired, making it soft to the touch.

Behavior

In general conversation U'roh is a friendly fellow, cheerfully interacting with those that approach him or he approaches. Quick to make a new friend or exchange tales with fellow adventurers he is quite sociable when he wishes to be. ((WIP))

Quotes

-"Killing folks like that don't sit right with me."- To Val Nunh Upon leaving the Harbingers of Dawn.

Combat

General

U'roh's combat style focuses on the Halberd, primarily in ishgardian techniques. Using the weapon to maintain a medium length distance from his opposition as well as using a combination of the weapon's slashing, hooked and pointed edge to effect in creating openings against his foes. Employing various stabbing, slashing, and hooking techniques to do so. When forced into close combat U'roh tries to reestablish the gap with the limited knowledge he has from his Crystal, often using jumps. If he cannot do that he resorts to the brawling he used in his Tribe days. Using vicious and brutal headbutts, punches, and kicks to fend off attackers.

He has limited knowledge of the crystal he was in trusted with, using it's recorded knowledge to jump. However due to not having any formal training in it's use and having acquired it in a less then formal fashion U'roh is not as proficient in the art as the actual Dragoons of Ishgard.

History/Timeline

• Early Life/Pre-Defeat:

Roh's early life wasn't nothing out of the ordinary, spending his young days among his tribe in the Forgotten Springs. Learning to hunt and survive off the slim pickings of the Sagolii Desert as well as defending himself the constant threat of the Ifrit worshiping Amalj'aa. As a adolescent he practiced hand to hand combat in this pursuit and often found himself in brawls with other Tias and some extreme cases huntresses of the tribe.

Overall what many tribal seekers would consider a fulfilling life, however after a brutal Amalj'aa raid that led to the death and tempering of a valued friends Roh pleaded to the Nunh to retaliate. Roh was refused, leading to the reckless and experienced young Tia to lose his temper and challenge the Nunh for the title. He was quickly and brutally defeated, however the Nunh spared him for reasons unknown. The next day Roh left the springs out of shame and a new scar to constantly remind him of that day, using it as drive to improve himself and grow stronger.

• Post Defeat:

After he left Roh found he had nothing more then the clothes on his back and the fresh shame in his heart to drive him forward through the howling Sahagoli desert sands. Through force of will he had traversed the sands, barely surviving off what scraps he could scrounge and the scarce water he had brought with him. Eventually his travels brought him to the shroud, however by this time his meager supplies had run out and he was at death's door. Collapsing shortly before Quarrymill U'roh fell unconscious, expecting to die. Fate however would deem otherwise, having been found by a Ceuline who as a act of kindness took him.

• Achieving the Dream:

((Coming Soon))

• Closure from the past:
