Samilen is a very exuberant man with a lot of energy that he rarely is ever able to run dry. The worst thing in the world to him is boredom, and boredom comes when he is left with nothing to do–he relishes the opportunity to fiddle with trinkets and explore new areas, which is why he takes to carpentry and botany as well as he does.
+
A'dehn tends to play his hand close to his chest and is willing to steal and kill to achieve his goals. However, he is cunning enough not to do so immediately but will if his hand is forced in any way.
  
Though he is generally very friendly, Samilen has grown very introverted in the days since the Great Calamity. He often doesn’t instigate the meeting of new people but will never turn down a conversation or brief companionship. Moreso, though he is still a brilliant archer Samilen rarely takes part in any battle or skirmish unless he is absolutely needed or if a loved one is in danger.
+
Unfortunately he is not very social as being sociable when you're helping ancient beings destroy the world seems to be a bit hypocritical. That being said no one in the world can go without forming relationships and A'dehn might be in for a very big surprise.
  
Despite his tendency for self-isolation, Samilen is also a man looking for companionship, though he often hides his vulnerable need for intimacy as a character trait–it’s much easier for him to play it off as simply being a charmer, after all, and often finds himself thirsting after anyone who fits the profile of being strong, self-assured and assertive in some shape.
+
He struggles with intimacy and relationships. He used to be very good at making friends but those skills went out the window a long time ago. Because of this he might not get a joke or understand that someone is just trying to be friendly and instead assume that they are being aggressive.

<p style="font-size: 1.4em; font-weight: bold; font-variant: small-caps; border-bottom: 2px solid #cccccc; margin-top: 1em;">Philosophy & Ideals</p>
Samilen's philosophy on life can be summed up into 'give into the world what you want to get back'. He believes very much in the aspect of karma and often holds this close to his heart as something taught to him by his mothers early in life. He sees the world much like a seed: if one wants to harvest the fruits, they must first nurture the plant to bloom and be patient as it grows. This might be a reason why he enjoys the study of botany as much as he does, as it's easy to see this philosophy at work, but also because he wants to make and see the world become a better place, especially after everything he's experienced due to the Great Calamity.
+
A'dehn's philosophy lets nothing get in the way of his true goal. If he dies he'll be happy but his greatest fear in all the world is to be the last sentient being in existence. Doing or saying anything to achieve his one true goal is what drives him. Nothing and no one has been able to coax he away from his all driving purpose. Whether someone even can is up for debate.

<li style="background-color: #e5e5e5; padding: .5em; border-radius: 5px; border-left: 10px solid #595959; margin: 5px;">'''Superstitious:''' Samilen is extremely superstitious when it comes to the field of botany or the forests around Gridania, so much that it dictates the sorts of tasks he'll take for the botanists' guild on certain days.</li>
+
<li style="background-color: #e5e5e5; padding: .5em; border-radius: 5px; border-left: 10px solid #595959; margin: 5px;">'''Obsessed:''' A'dehn has one goal and one goal only. He's literally killed and even died for it multiple times.</li>
<li style="background-color: #e5e5e5; padding: .5em; border-radius: 5px; border-left: 10px solid #595959; margin: 5px;">'''Selectively Mute:''' Except in very specific situations, Samilen only communicates through handspeak (sign language).

<p style="font-size: 1.4em; font-weight: bold; font-variant: small-caps; border-bottom: 2px solid #cccccc;">Childhood</p>
Samilen Jawantal was born to a small family in Limsa Lominsa and is the eldest child of three. He has two younger sisters, Xazi (15) and Gici (7), and all three were born to father Nobu'li (Miqo'te) and mothers Sami (Miqo'te) and Lenphi (Hyur).
+
A'dehn grew up among the warm sands that made up the A tribe's territories. He was raised with the utmost care and beloved by his mother and older sisters. His sire was more distant but that was mainly due to his stressors as a Nuhn and leader. He took up healing early in life, being taught how to heal with the power of the stars. His life was pretty standard until he hit his adolescent years.
 
 
Sami and Lenphi were born, grew in and married within the city-state of Gridania, but later moved to Limsa Lominsa in search of prosperous jobs, as both of them were skilled carpenters and Limsa was then with a sore need for their skills in the growing demand for ships.
 
 
 
The two of them met Nobu'li, a local fisherman and well-known womanizer at the time. Over the course of several years he managed to win the hearts of both Sami and Lenphi–or at least, that’s in his own recounts of the history. Many others would remember that he was no more a bumbling mess to the two women who, eventually, found him a part of their relationship.
 
 
 
Several months after the three of them married officially, their first son was born: Samilen. He was named after both of his mothers as part of Sami’s values and quickly proved himself to be quite the handful. Until he was a young teenager, Samilen got into trouble very often around the docks of Limsa: stealing fish, playing pranks, getting into fights with other kids. There seemed to be no end to the chaos he could get himself into (many likened to say that he took after his father, Nobu'li).

<p style="font-size: 1.4em; font-weight: bold; font-variant: small-caps; border-bottom: 2px solid #cccccc; margin-top: 1em;">Adolescence</p>
Several years after Xazi was born, Samilen found his calling in archery and botany, two skill sets that were not at all common in Limsa nor its surrounding areas.
+
When he was thirteen the A tribe split into several parts due to a schism between a Tia and the Nuhn, his father. He and his mother followed after a different Tia who took them closer to Ul'dah's territory. It was during this transitional period that A'dehn hit his eighteenth name day and left the tribe due to the growing animosity between he and the new Nuhn.
 
 
Though his parents had reservations about allowing Samilen to take up a skill that may lead him into the growing skirmishes against the Garlean Empire, as many other parents were for their not-yet-adult children, they allowed him to move back to Gridania to learn archery and botany while under the care of extended family.
 
  
He took to both skills very quickly and soon became well-known across others of his age for his quickness, dexterity and extraordinary aim with a bow, and also his curiosity and enthusiasm in learning the art of not only botany, but carpentry as well.
+
He began his new life in Ul'dah and met three other friends there while doing so. The four of them became adventurers, making coin on bounties, hunts, and quests that others assigned them. For over a decade he lived this way until the Calamity came.
 
 
Samilen brought respect and pride to his mothers and father and on the eve of his 18th nameday, he joined the ranks of Order of the Twin Adder so he could use his skills to protect the citizens of Gridania and even Eorzea as a whole.
 
 
 
When the Great Calamity happened, Samilen was one of thousands of soldiers on the battlefield against the Garlean Empire. He is also one of many thousands who saw the world burn before him, with the memories of fire, death and destruction seared forever into his memories and nightmares, never to be forgotten.

<div style="background-color: #fff; border-radius: 0 0 5px 5px; padding: 1em; margin-top: 0;">
Five years after the Great Calamity, Samilen is still overcoming much of the trauma he among other soldiers endured. Since that day he has been mute, refusing to speak and communicating only in sign language and otherwise not traveling very far from Gridania (even to visit his family).
+
Immediately after the Calamity A'dehn knew that something was wrong, as he woke up on the field of battle surrounded by the dead. For some reason he was not one of them. Attempting to return to Ul'dah proved harder than expected as those who had come, in their desperation, to loot the bodies saw him as an easy target. He is killed in the resulting scuffle and while the thieves run off with his equipment he returns to life unscathed. Over the course of the next two years A'dehn tries to cure his new condition in every way possible. While he is hunting down a witch who he heard might be able to help him, he instead runs into an Ascian who offers him an end to his suffering if only he would do their dirty work. Without a second thought, he agrees.
  
Despite being a member of the Order of the Twin Adders, Samilen is rarely called for combat of any sort. Due to his skills however, he often serves to mentor new archers in the Twin Adders, but he otherwise serves as a connection to the various crafting guilds within Gridania and has supplied many weapons to them of his own make.
+
Since then he has spied, lied, cheated, and stolen all in the name of his true goal, a quick death.
 
 
He refuses vehemently to go to into active battle again and, as a survivor of the Great Calamity battle, many respect that (especially as his skills can still be used elsewhere).
 
 
 
He can often be found within the carpentry guild filling orders or traveling within the Black Shroud on various tasks given to him by the botany guildmaster Fufucha.

Erotic Rp is fine ''as long as the other person/character is 18 or older'' I will ask you before anything happens if you are 18 or older if the answer is no we will skip the smutty scenes. If I find out you've lied about your age I will block you/blacklist you.. Please do not attempt erotic rp if you are underage.

I will also only do e-rp in party chat or tell and in a non public area. I'm not here to make anyone uncomfortable.

The mun and the muse are two very different people and it should stay that way. Please, I'm in a committed relationship and I'm not interested in dating you just because you cannot separate your feelings for my character from your feelings for me. Likewise, just because A'dehn does something shady doesn't mean I'm out to get you.

General Information

A'dehn Tia is an older male Miqo'te who, previous to the Calamity, was once part of a small party of adventurers who sold their swords to the Immortal Flames. The four of them, being life long friends, worked well together and make a great sum of Gil in their small expeditions. A'dehn lead a relatively happy life until the Calamity struck. He and his party were called to serve in the battle against the VIIth Legion and serve they did. Bahamut was released from his prison and the other adventurers were teleported away. All save A'dehn, who somehow remained and woke upon the burning battlefield among the bodies of friends and foes alike. Stumbling from the wreckage of the fight, he soon found that he could not die. He certainly experienced the pain of his injuries but each time he fell he would only come right back.

Now, A'dehn seeks out a cure for his condition. After suffering with it for 5 years he has sought out every solution that he can, save one. Currently A'dehn works alongside the Ascians as they have promised him the end he so desires.

Appearance

A'dehn Tia is a male Seeker of the Sun miqo'te baring a general resemblance to others of his people and clan with a tan complexion. His normal eye color is almost amber like, however, he lost vision in one eye during the Calamity and it has since went a milky white. He stands at approximately 5 fulms, 6 ilms (5 fulms 8 ilms including ears) and is athletically built, with a slim but toned body.

He has light brown hair shaved into an undercut. Due to the loss of is eye he tends to wear a patch over it. His taste in clothes is usually well maintained shirts, pants, and boots.

Personality

Personality Traits

  • Anti-Hero
  • Serious
  • Introvert
  • Independent
  • Lonely
  • Stubborn
  • Depressed
  • Intelligent

Mannerisms

A'dehn tends to play his hand close to his chest and is willing to steal and kill to achieve his goals. However, he is cunning enough not to do so immediately but will if his hand is forced in any way.

Unfortunately he is not very social as being sociable when you're helping ancient beings destroy the world seems to be a bit hypocritical. That being said no one in the world can go without forming relationships and A'dehn might be in for a very big surprise.

He struggles with intimacy and relationships. He used to be very good at making friends but those skills went out the window a long time ago. Because of this he might not get a joke or understand that someone is just trying to be friendly and instead assume that they are being aggressive.

Philosophy & Ideals

A'dehn's philosophy lets nothing get in the way of his true goal. If he dies he'll be happy but his greatest fear in all the world is to be the last sentient being in existence. Doing or saying anything to achieve his one true goal is what drives him. Nothing and no one has been able to coax he away from his all driving purpose. Whether someone even can is up for debate.

Quirks

  • Obsessed: A'dehn has one goal and one goal only. He's literally killed and even died for it multiple times.
  • Hates Antelope Meat: Growing up in the A tribe, when food was scarce, they tended to eat Antelope. And only Antelope. Antelope jerky. Antelope stew. Antelope filet. So much did he have to partake in that meat that he can't stand it at all and will get nausea if he has to eat it.
  • Morbid Humor: Tends to make jokes that are on the darker side especially about his own mortality or actions.  
Likes Dislikes
  • Playing Triple Triad
  • Silence
  • Reading
  • A night under the stars
  • A hug

  • CARD GAMES

  • DECEPTION

    Able to read and deceive others with fake personas

  • IMMORTALITY

    How is this a skill? He doesn't even know. Regardless he's very good at not dying.

Strengths Flaws
  • Resilient: Regardless of what happens to A'dehn he just keeps going.
  • Intelligent: Quite clever, A'dehn tends to craft master plans in order to achieve the objective assigned to him.
  • Patient: A'dehn has all the time in the world to do what he needs to do and does not often rush into things head first.
  • Selfish: In the end everything comes down to what he wants. His ultimate goal. Nothing will stop it. Not even his own conscience.
  • Cold: A'dehn does not tend to talk about his feelings or needs to other beings, instead choosing to bottle things up.
  • Obsessed: Everything in his life revolves around dying and that one singular thought is why he's not buried himself in a hole somewhere.
Fears Favorites
  • Being unable to die
  • Deep oceans
  • Being unloved
  • Ishgardian Tea
  • Warm sands
  • Limsa after 2am

Early Life

Childhood

A'dehn grew up among the warm sands that made up the A tribe's territories. He was raised with the utmost care and beloved by his mother and older sisters. His sire was more distant but that was mainly due to his stressors as a Nuhn and leader. He took up healing early in life, being taught how to heal with the power of the stars. His life was pretty standard until he hit his adolescent years.

Adolescence

When he was thirteen the A tribe split into several parts due to a schism between a Tia and the Nuhn, his father. He and his mother followed after a different Tia who took them closer to Ul'dah's territory. It was during this transitional period that A'dehn hit his eighteenth name day and left the tribe due to the growing animosity between he and the new Nuhn.

He began his new life in Ul'dah and met three other friends there while doing so. The four of them became adventurers, making coin on bounties, hunts, and quests that others assigned them. For over a decade he lived this way until the Calamity came.

Recent Times

Immediately after the Calamity A'dehn knew that something was wrong, as he woke up on the field of battle surrounded by the dead. For some reason he was not one of them. Attempting to return to Ul'dah proved harder than expected as those who had come, in their desperation, to loot the bodies saw him as an easy target. He is killed in the resulting scuffle and while the thieves run off with his equipment he returns to life unscathed. Over the course of the next two years A'dehn tries to cure his new condition in every way possible. While he is hunting down a witch who he heard might be able to help him, he instead runs into an Ascian who offers him an end to his suffering if only he would do their dirty work. Without a second thought, he agrees.

Since then he has spied, lied, cheated, and stolen all in the name of his true goal, a quick death.

Player Info

Please note that these are my hard rules. After years of being in various rp communities I've learned to set personal boundaries. Please read these before contacting me to RP.

My Policies

  • Mature Themed Rps

    Mature Themed Rps are fine as long as they are planned out ahead of time. Things involving murder, suicide, or deceit should probably be brought up before hand otherwise confusion may occur for not only me but my partner.

  • E-RP

    Erotic Rp is fine as long as the other person/character is 18 or older I will ask you before anything happens if you are 18 or older if the answer is no we will skip the smutty scenes. If I find out you've lied about your age I will block you/blacklist you.. Please do not attempt erotic rp if you are underage.

    I will also only do e-rp in party chat or tell and in a non public area. I'm not here to make anyone uncomfortable.

  • RP Reminders

    It is okay to remind me about ongoing threads/situations every once in a while but please note that I have a home and work life that I have to take care of before this game. Constant reminders will result in me just not wanting to rp with you anymore.

  • Character/Mun

    The mun and the muse are two very different people and it should stay that way. Please, I'm in a committed relationship and I'm not interested in dating you just because you cannot separate your feelings for my character from your feelings for me. Likewise, just because A'dehn does something shady doesn't mean I'm out to get you.
