INTRO TEXT

Appearance

When not covered in tattered leathers, or embroidered cloth and furs, decorated in baubles of metal and beads, his dark skin is decorated by a carapace of scales of varying degrees of thickness. His brows are lined with black scales which trace around his square face down to his chin where it is encased into a slight, sharp point of hard carapace which swallows the entirety of his neck. His forearms are equally lined with the thick armor. The armor starts at his shoulders, which crawls down to his wrists, covering his knuckles like a second skin. The center of his chest sports a patch of scales, which flows out from his neck scales, into a shape resembling a diving Dravanian. His hips and the sides of his legs are covered by the natural armor down to his knees.

The remaining covering sits on the back of his shins, down to his heels and the sole of his feet. He has heavy covering along his back, down his spine to his barbed tail. His tail is thin, starting thick at the base with three protruding spines that are as sharp as they appear. Thinning out as it goes down the end of his tail is tipped with a sharp spike and four extending barbs making the limb a dangerous deterrent to any to wander too close behind him.

History

Born to the Steppes Oyunn was considered a bastard to the Goro Tribe. In his youth the Xaela was often told he was hatched from an acorn the squirrels would not even bury. It was a set up for a far from stellar childhood. The village udgan had brought him to the village. The boy was believed to be shy of five years of age. During a journey for a vision the udgan had happened upon him in a clearing, the boy near death and suffering dehydration. When the old udgan was succeeded by the next udgan the young Goro had no one, as his caretaker died not long into his first winter season with the tribe. The boy wished to succeed his role, but he was not seen to be gifted with skill, let along the blood of a Goro, so was denied due to his ineptitude and put to work. Raised as Goro, despite the lack of blood, he was taught to tend to horses and that they were above all creatures on this star and if he was going to live with teh Goro he was to understand the Goro way. Oyunn, who was seen as far below even his new kin, would find himself only able to turn to the tribe horses for company which left him often put to chores caring for the sheep and doing chores reserved for womanfolk.

He was not given a name until he was of his fifth winter with the tribe. He had been believed to be no older than five winters upon joining the tribe, but there was no telling if that was truly the case so his age remains a generalization rather than a fact. But this name was not his own, but taken as his honor to the one who had freed him from the clutches of death to be found in the Steppes when he was just a babe. As the story goes: there was a conflict with another tribe over land the tribe had lost many Goro and horses. This had done the young Goro great pain for he had come to learn by finding out the horse that had been given to his caretaker was slain in the assault. With nothing left to remind him of his savior the young Goro took the name Oyunn. Even with a name Oyunn, which means wisdom, he was unable to truly grasp the skills required of an udgan from the distance he was forced to keep. One day the tribe had stopped to trade with traveling Raen, or as much as a trade could be held with them, and there Oyunn learned of a land to the west which was said to accept anyone.

Oyunn felt that if they could accept him, he could have chance to learn to give something back to the tribe of the man who gave him life. He wished to honor the udgan's memory. As soon as he was able to survive he left the tribe with his horse for Eorzea. Perhaps there he could learn the arts that had made his udgan so strong, and the arts that kept the current one in power. Power is what Oyunn sought.

The power to slay his enemies.

The power to rule his enemies.

The power to face his enemies.

And live.

Personality

Oyunn was a reserved, well spoken Xaela who stood with strength and confidence. His focus was both a blessing and a curse as his sharp stare often got him in trouble with others, making him seem as if he was always picking a fight. Subserviant in his nature for him others stand above him and he is known to give pass to others. Despite this seemingly gentle nature he can lose his temperat a moment's notice and has been known to run those through who have given him reason to. He is not known for his mercy, and with the foul habit of biting his tongue when his temper does finally fly, it does so in flames.

Other Notes

Relationships; As a Goro, Oyunn has a strong relationship with his partnered horse. All of his energy and attentions go into serving her needs and wants. Goro do not marry, but rather mate via lots to determine partners as opposed to maintaining a permenant relationship that would take away from the care of their horses.

Religion

Duskmother; Being a Steppe-born Xaela Oyunn follows the Nhaama as the way of his kin, but there are times where he questions the Duskmother and his purpose in the world. Knowing not where he was born sometimes leaves the Xaela to feel as if the Duskmother had abandoned him on the Steppes to die.

Thaliak; During his training in the Ossuary the Goro had taken to offering tithings to the god of knowledge to stay in favor with his ever increasing studies.

Quirks

Illeism; Speaks in third person often referring to himself as this one or he. Though sometimes it is seen as an act of enlightenment or egotism, in Oyunn;'s case it was due to his slave-like position in his tribe before leaving for Eorzea.

Unilateral Deafness; Due to a severe head injury in his youth, long before he came to live with the Goro, his left horn was cracked along the underside. Due to lack of care the injury did not properly heal making it difficult to feel vibrations clearly on that horn. It causes him to tilt his head to turn his slightly to better hear individuals. In loud noise areas he is unable to discern verbal communication clearly. He wears the steel clasps at the ends of his horns to aide in minimizing excessive noise.
