| − | Caen Jabari is a young miq'ote who was found washed ashore in Vesper Bay on the day of the Great Calamity. Caen remembered nothing of his first eleven years, and woke up to a world he did not remember living in. All he had on him, besides the tattered rags that covered his body, where water-logged letters addressed to "Caen" from an older brother "Vailyx" and held together by a pair of violet earrings. Thankfully, the kinder fisherman Faust Jabari, was able to find the young miq'ote and semi-raised the boy to be able to live on his own. Five years have passed... and Caen has begun to wonder whether the loss of his memories was a kindness of the Twelve... or a cruel theft of his past. | + | '''Caen Jabari''' is a young miqo'te who was found washed ashore in Vesper Bay on the day of the Great Calamity.

| |
| − | ===Appearance===
| |
| | | | |
| − | Caen sports a wide-eyed face with youthful skin and features, although his skin has been bronzed due to living under the desert sun for five years. His eyes are a bright amber and his large canines tend to show when he grins with his teeth. The lad also sports a shaggy mane of royal blue hair that would attempt to curl inwards over his face, yet it is mostly kept covered by a light head-wrapping. On his left cheek, he bears a X-shaped scar that was given to him by none other than his brother, Vailyx, bestowed when Caen pleaded to stay with his father and brother at the Battle of Carteneau. Vailyx would scar his younger sibling in an attempt to make Caen hate him and flee Eorzea with his mother, for the sake of keeping them both alive.
| + | (this story has large elements that have changed or have been retconned and to avoid confusion, have been edited out) |
| − | In addition, were one to look, there is a rather mysterious and elaborate Ascian-style brand over his heart, although the boy keeps it covered at all times. Caen is almost always donned in yellow-coloured garb, to show off his love for the sunlight and therein be a light to cheer up the downtrodden of Eorzea.
| |
| − | He also loves to flutter his ears about depending on his current emotion. Joy will sent them flickering up and down, where sadness or fear will lower his ears near his head and quiver.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Personality & Mannerisms===
| |
| − | | |
| − | Caen is wild and carefree making him a perfect candidate for odd jobs through-out Thanalan and Ul'dah herself. He yearns to become a protector of everyone's smiles, instantly becoming close to people who look sad and trying to cheer them up with conversation or song. The boy is oddly cheerful, despite having been robbed of his memory; his favorite pastime being residing within ''The Quicksand'' to watch the comings and goings of adventurers, occasionally prodding them for tales of their adventures outside the desert, having never left himself. This, often than not, leads the lad into troublesome situations. His dream is to bring happiness to everyone he meets and one day become strong enough to protect everyone's smiles using his own two fists.
| |
| − | He tends to talk fast, leading to a wide arrange of slang. Yet when he does interact in serious conversation, he can pull larger words from his vocabulary and without slang. Still, Caen is far from being a noble and the comparison between his social status and such is rather laughable. Caen also has a tendency to stutter when he tells a lie.
| |
| − | Caen, in addition, has incredible balance, something Hamon noticed just before taking the boy under his tutelage. The young miqo'te demonstrates his balance fairly often by "perching" atop railings and high walls, observing everyone below him.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Combat Art==
| |
| − | ===Fighting Style===
| |
| − | Caen is naturally gifted with hand-to-hand combat, but is clumsy as a toddler when it comes to a sword or axe. During his childhood in Limsa Lominsa, he was often made fun of for his Hyuran name, which led to many street brawls with the local bullies. He taught himself how to punch, kick, and dodge out of attacks when overwhelmed, becoming effective at fighting many targets at once.
| |
| − | | |
| − | When his brother Vailyx began to take up the art of the Lance, Caen, naturally went out and carved his own pole-arm out of a fallen tree branch to teach himself to do that as well, desiring greatly to be better than his perfect brother. Vailyx was never to busy to show Caen up and belittle the boy on his flawed techniques, yet managed to teach him proper form over the course of three years. By berating his younger brother on what not to do, he effectively taught him how to used the lance as an extension of himself. And although Caen was never old enough to leave Limsa and study the lance abroad, Vailyx was secretly proud of Caen.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Caen continued pave his way through the Thanalan with his fists after he had awoken from losing his memory. After saving his foster father, Faust, from a yarzon swarm a month after awakening, Caen was taken to the Pugilist's Guild within Ul'dah and honed his skill there. While mostly his training pertained of running errands for the Holyfist, Hamon, Caen did occationally teach himself a less-clumspy fighting style after watching the students spar.

| − | ===Aliases/Nicknames===
| |
| − | ::* '''Canary''': After many attempts to get the lonely adventurer Sarisa Clementine to smile, Caen finally succeeded after singing a ballad to her one morning. She smiled for the first time in two years, since Carteneau, and called him her Canary. It has become a rare nickname for Caen, as few know of it, yet he will cherish it forever. It was also a name called to him by his mother, V'ria, when she taught him to sing as a child.
| |
| − | ::* '''Chocobo''': Called this by his close friends, Caen is often compared to the yellow flightless bird of Eorzea, due to his bright yellow choice of clothing.
| |
| − | ::* '''Blue Wolf''': An even rarer nickname. Mostly only the residents of Vesper Bay will call Caen by this name. Once when he was skinny-dipping in the Bay, a group of bullies thought it would be funny to steal his clothes. Stark-naked, Caen stealthily tried to make it back to Faust's house to no avail, as the streets were rather crowded. He soon came across a pail of blue paint, and, seeing it as his only option, dumped it all over himself. He would then dart through the streets, on all fours, to Faust's home, terrifying the citizenry who lay sight to the "Blue Wolf Monster". After Faust explained the truth to everyone to avoid panic, it became a running gag within the small town's residents.

| |
| − | | |
| − | Caen has had the fortune of meeting all kinds of souls by hanging near ''The Quicksand'' after leaving Vesper Bay when Faust journeyed to Mor Dhona to find his wife, Maria. Some have touched his lives more than others. His two best friends are Kelvena Agapor and Garrett Slater, acting as elder sister and brother figures to Caen, respectively. There is also the enigmatic warrior known as Artorias Mason who took Caen outside of Ul'dah for, seemingly, the first time in his life. He looks up to the three, hoping they could become the family he can't remember.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ::* '''Kelvena Agapor''':A nineteen year old cleric from Gridania who searches Eorzea for her father, Ikus, and his mercenary company, the Lost Rogues, who vanished at the battle of Carteneau. She was able to lead Caen out of Thanalan to Limsa Lominsa and Gridania for the first time. Artorias has tasked her to look after the lad when he has gone to fight the primals. She now thinks of Caen as a little brother.
| |
| − | ::* '''Garrett Slater''': A quiet, stoic, yet strong Paladin of Ul'dah. His father went off to fight in Mor Dhona, leaving Garrett and his mother alone. After dying in the war, Garrett now finds a piece of himself missing. He works as a freelance blacksmith and has contracts in all three great cities. Yet another resident of the Thanalan, he's very protective of the miq'ote lad. Caen looks up to him as an elder brother.
| |
| − | ::* '''Naih'ir Molkot''': A fellow miq'ote who works with Caen at ''The Quicksand''. He is surefire stickler for the rules but has a kinder heart underneath. Been working for Momodi for three years on the night shift. When Faust left to find his wife, Naih'ir and Momodi of watched over Caen, after the former found him singing for gil in the streets. Naih'ir is often frustrated by the boy's lack of proper etiquette... but deep down, he loves the boy like a son he 's always wanted; Caen returns the affection by seeing Naih'ir as a fatherly figure.
| |
| − | ::* '''Artorias Mason''': An all-knowing Dragoon with seemingly limitless power and Imperial technology to boot. He had everything, yet lost it all to Gaius von Baelsar, and now seeks vengeance. Denies the existence of the Twelve in his misfortune. Artorias has a tendency to boast his amazing abilities and often talks down to others. It's not clear if he means to or not. He trains for his inevitable confrontation with Gaius... and to the death of the both of them. Deep-down he his protective of Caen and his friends, but often points out their weaknesses with flat honesty.
| |
| − | ::* ''An'nai Tir'Atha'': A healer and Keeper of the Moon. His odd speech and short tone often leads people to believe the lad standoffish, yet An'nai hides a friendly heart under his cold exterior. He is willing to do anything to help his friends, while berating them with brutal honesty. He is hopelessly in love with Tiergan Vashir.
| |
| − | ::* ''Tiergan Vashir'': One of Caen's only living blood-relatives. Although Tiergan and Caen do not know they share the same blood, fate often draws them close. He and An'nai helped Caen when he broke down in Vesper, when the boy was at his lowest point. Caen will often show a desire to talk more with Tiergan, but the white-haired miq'ote will become standoffish.

| |
| − | ::* ''Brynhilde Wulf'': The beautiful leader of a pack of enigmatic warriors. Underneath her intimidating demeanor, however, lies a warmhearted woman. She can also cook delicious food without breaking a sweat.
| |
| − | ::* ''Horace Rook'': A mysterious hyur with violet shades. Appears when you least expect him, and a man of very few words. He makes Caen shiver in fear.
| |
| − | ::* ''Aergitar Skoenitarsyn'': A strong and warmhearted roegadyn who approached Caen concerning his hidden potential. He offered him to take up arms and fight beside him in his free company "Warriors of the Echo." Yet Caen, filled with self-doubt, was unable to accept. Before departing, Aergitar gifted the lad with a mysterious linkpearl.
| |
| − | ::* ''Jessica Tidwell'': A magic-adept with a large and pointy hat which she describes being "Handy as heck." Caen suggested she hide cheese underneath. Caen calls her "Miss Jess" and she calls him "Carrot" as he seems to be the cross between an yellow canary and a talkative parrot.
