((Sorry for the WIPy page, more coming real soon))

Ahyin'sae Hashnyvahr is the youngest son of the Hashnyvahrs, a semi-nomadic Keeper Of The Moon family from the Twelveswood. Always curious, with a knack for exploring and a yearning for freedom, he was still at the wide-eyed and fresh-faced age of fifteen when he decided to leave and discover what wonders Eorzea could provide to an adventurer's journey. Now with almost tens years of lone wandering about and surviving without much coin on his pocket, he's become a sort of jack of all trades with a mild knowledge of various crafts and a fondness for arts. During his venturing his interest for the art of the lance deepened so he's been honing his skills to the best of his ability as he moves along the road, always remembering Buscarron's teachings.

Eorzea has proven to be a vast realm, in all senses, so no matter what the future brings there's surely a long path ahead for this Miqo'te to pave still.

Character

General

Ahyin'sae was born in 1554, the youngest of nine children. He lived a relatively normal and carefree childhood in the woods of the Black Shroud, and was particularly close to his brother Ahyin'to and his sister Liah, later one to whom he was to be mated. Under the strict but loving hand of mother Ahyin, he learned to hunt with bow, skin, track and make a living surrounded by nature. But very soon he showed interest in other ways of doing and living, he'd sneak to play with other children in Gridania and would spend a lot of time at Buscarron's Druthers where he picked up lancer techniques. At the age of fifteen, not long after his coming of age trials, longing for an adventuring life and having had come to bad terms with his sister Liah he decided to leave the clan for good and never look back. The first months on the road where not easy, and he found himself hungry and without shelter often, but soon he grew accustomed to it and became sharper on the ways of the world. His first destination was Ul'dah and here he made quite a bit of gil and also acquired his chocobo, Kwehlora, after a most odd dispute with an old Lalafell. He kept exploring the lands but before he could make it to Limsa Lominsa, came the Calamity, which almost killed him, as he saw himself surrounded by flames and falling debris, heavily injured. Then came the blinding light, and he found himself awake and well in a changed Eorzea. Ahyin is now somewhat restless when around fire, though. The Calamity made him return to the South Shroud and stay there with Buscarron for about a year after which he kept on his exploring journey till nowadays. He's been focusing more and more on enhancing his combat ability, and adventuring for the sole sake of discovery has fallen to second in his priority list. However, he won't stop till he walks through all of Eorzea, and then beyond.

Appearance

Ahyin has all of the traditional Hashnyvahr characteristics: dalamud-red eyes, straight raven-black hair and bluish skin, even though he's paler than his siblings.

As a youth and after his coming of age trials, he wore blue feline face paint and long braided hair adorned with hand crafted beads and blue highlights as any full fledged member of the clan. He kept this look until very recently. He decided to stop wearing his face paint and cut his hair not only for practical purposes but to rid it of the highlights. He realized it was meaningless to keep his family's traditional marks since he had cut ties with most of them, so he now wears it slightly shorter, in full natural black, tied on the back. Ahyin still wears some black face paint around the eyes and considers it to be his own mark. His tail is long, with fuzzy black fur.

Being always the curious and active type, never really staying put for too long, from childhood to the present, he's quite moderately built and fit, specially his arms due to spear wielding. He's quite the tall Miqo'te, like most of his relatives, at 5 fulms 8 ilms, and weighs about 159 ponz.

His clothing is usually leather-worked and he has a few sets of armor he has earned throughout the years, used for hunting, fighting and training. Prefers dark colors.

Personality

This young Miqo’te is driven by the desire to discover and live as an adventurer, to learn and understand the world, find true freedom and enjoy the all the good things he finds. He’s naturally curious and playful, also quite friendly and he tends to maintain a confident and optimistic attitude. He’s quite the intrepid and spontaneous young man, and may come off as a bit fickle and immature, but he has a good heart and can be very dependable and trustworthy if he cares about someone. He considers everyone he meets a friend until proved wrong, he may start a bit on the quiet side but he warms up to almost anyone very quickly, due to his natural curiosity but above all open-mindedness and ability to empathize. He can be a bit naïve and easily led on because of this, and if comfortable he’s quite candid and frank, especially after a few glassfuls of alcohol. However, he’s not a complete open book, and some things he will most likely never share.

Cultural heritage or backgrounds don’t hold much importance to him, besides curiosity and learning purposes. He mostly pushes forward according to his own set of rules, and will probably retort with an unpleasant comeback if someone tries to enforce some limiting norms or ideas on him. Anyway, he’s not easily angered and will most likely brush off unpleasant situations with humor, maybe a joke or a light prank.

Ahyin is not the most spiritual person, and unlike his clan he doesn't worship Menphina. On the other hand, he can be found offering the occasional prayer to Nymeia, so the winds of fate may bring him good fortune.

He’s quite interested in the opposite sex, but he’d be more correctly described as a being with pan-sexual tendencies. He can be very flirty and enjoys teasing the most, but even though he has had his occasional flames, he is actually a cover-up romantic and will most likely settle for one person only someday. For now, he’s quite adventurous and open to new experiences and people.

He’s a good listener and likes to discuss a bit of everything from adventuring to art, crafting, combat training strategies, current events, humor ... he is also very curious of philosophy, history and stories from far off lands. He’s also likely to be found attending some cultural event and sometimes even on a library corner.

Rumors

Not all of these are true.

Common Rumors

• "A complete airhead. What's that spear on his back for? I bet he doesn't even know how to wield it properly. It's an insult to all lancers. I don't know what that Buscarron saw in the lad, the age must be getting to him." - Gridanian Wood Wailer.
• "Oh, he's a sweetheart, very traveled and knowing for his age... good looking too. He helps me with all kinds of chores for just a few of my homemade pies. I wish more young folk were just like him." - Kind looking elder Elezen lady.
• "I wanna be like him someday too, ya know, going everywhere... I'll be an adventurer too!" - Lively Hyur child.
• "That lad Ahyin? He's fun to hang around with... he'll also help with all kind of work and errands if you give him a small pouch of coin or food." - Ul'dah Roegadyn street merchant.

Moderate Rumors

• "Where does he get his coin from? He's as good as homeless, always wandering around but he owns a fine chocobo? I hear he stole it from a rich lalafell, probably got a bounty on his head for it, I tell you." - Serious Roe woman.
• "You be wary of your women around him. That one is all smiles and smooth talking... If I ever see that mug of his again I swear I'll beat him to a pulp! - Furious Hyur man.
• "It seems he's runnin' away from someon'? I dunno... He also gets all jumpy and weird when you ask 'bout his family." - Young Seeker Miqo'te.

Rare Rumors

• "Don't buy that naive happy-go-lucky attitude. One of my girls said he left a mate behind on the Shroud with a little cub to raise by herself. That one's unruly... and frisky." - Seductive Highlander Courtesan
• "He used to kill men for a cheap price. Guess the foul stench of blood on his hands got to him." - Shady Hooded Elezen.
