This character article or section of a character article is a stub -- a small, but growing, work in progress. If you're the creator of this character, why not consider expanding it?

WARNING: This character abides to this Keeper of the Moon lore.

From "The Past is a Story we Never Tell"

WARNING#2: This character used to belong to a Linkshell that roleplayed the Main Scenario Quests, to which he took part. That does not mean he will make mention of it in Open World RP. All wiki information strictly MSQ-related will be tagged and hidden as spoiler, and kept a secret unless prompted to talk about it. Out of sight, out of mind. Jet'a is not the protagonist by any means.

Basic Info

"In my soul's distress, I called upon the Lover. She delivered me from those who stood against me. In the name of truth and loyalty, I will subject you to my Retribution." —Jet'a Vahn's prayer to Menphina to battle.

First son of a Moonkeeper small family whose name is hardly ever heard of, Jet'a appears to be nothing but a traveling sorcerer. He shows an overall quiet demeanor, and is not inclined to share his thoughts openly or make comments in general. Very reserved over his past and motives of traveling, he prefers to keep a low profile and not make himself a reputation amongst adventurers.

Of a rather cold expression, toughened by the harsh experiences of his past and training, he shows little of his body; they who somehow get to see him without a cloak will notice a toned but rather smooth built, with little to no muscles although with several old scars.

His speech seems to hardly betray any kind of emotion unless very specific topics are touched, and while he doesn't hesitate to speak openly when questioned, he'll hardly scoff or directly insult someone. The rare times he does so, one can be certain the target is always a male, as he comes from a matriarchal society and was taught to consider females as the only figure of authority, Miqo'te in particular. As typical of his race, his interaction with other males, particularly those of his race, are detached and superficial. He also shows a complete lack of sense of humor, either because he doesn't get jokes or doesn't want to understand them.

He didn't participate to the Battle of Cartenau, so he hasn't been sent forward into the future as some other adventurers claim to have been. Apparently pledging to no nation nor Grand Company, Jet'a won't say to belong to any place in particular: that, as most of his past, seem to fall in a kind of topic he doesn't wish to share. To the few who have made his acquaitance, he is a quiet but promising alchemist in Ul'dah working under Guildmaster Severian.

After joining a secret organization labeled the "Rose of Sharon", Jet'a has led a second, mysterious life. Under the guidance of the enigmatic "Gardener", he has joined forces with other adventurers and fought for a secret cause. In a skirmish against Garleans, he has suffered a gunblade injury to the leg which has left him crippled and in need of the aid of his staff to walk.

In time, he met and fell in love with a Raen Auri refugee named Kiku Okeya. The two eloped after years of turmoil and struggle due to outside events as well as their different culture. After setting off to the Far East with Kiku to find a long lost ingredient to a medicine, the two have been missing since. Only very recently, Jet'a has been spotted around the sights of Eorzea, alone.

He prefers to travel on his own, with the sole company of 'Shaka', a dark brown unicorn that he rescued in the North Shroud a long time ago ((Sleipnir Mount IC interpretation)).

Appearance

Jeta4.png

Height: Very tall for a Miqo'te. (Almost 5.7 fulms)

Weight: In average shape, leaning on the underweight side.

Complexion: Tanned, slightly ashed, but not enough to be really dark. ((Row 19, Column 5))

Hair: Dark blue with black highlights, that he let grow down to his shoulders. He has a fringe partially covering half of his face. ((Base Row 20, Column 8; Highlights Row 20, Column 8 ))

Eyes: Of a sharp shape ((Type 3)), with large ice blue irids. ((Row 19, Column 2))

Particular Traits:

  • A teardrop tattoo on his forehead.
  • Dark blue tribal marks on his cheeks.
  • He has some scars on his body, in particular a large one on his right shoulderblade. However, due to his adopted clothing style, the only one on sight is an X shaped scar on his nose bridge.

Voice: Quiet, smooth and slightly deep. With his voice Jet'a conveys calm, and depending on the situation, intimidates. ((Type 4))

Clothing Style: Very heavy. Jet'a doesn't like to expose his own skin for his own motives. To better blend in the nocturnal environment in which he usually moves, he prefers to wear dark colors.

Laterality: Left-handed when writing, right-handed for everything else.

Religion

He is a strong worshiper of Menphina, regarding also Nald'Thal and Rhalgr as his trade deities. Due to his fighting style being mainly oriented towards cryomancy, he also sends his prayers to Halone before every battle, if only inwardly.

Alignment

At his current state, he could be defined Neutral Good, though he can have some Chaotic Good swings.

Personality

Jet'a is the strong silent type. He speaks only if needed, saving words for when it matters. He is a strict, determined caster with a dry wit. As a cryomancer and an alchemist, Jet'a devotes his life to carry over his purpose while trying to protect those who depend on him, putting their lives before his own. This may be seen as a somewhat reckless and self-harmful behavior that will often put him in danger.

Beneath the quietness Jet'a is regretful of the events of his past, and still mourns the loss of his family. He regards himself as a failure for not being able to be strong when it mattered, and let those who were dear to him down. He used to have little respect for the Twelve due to his harsh past, when no merciful god seemed to gaze upon him or his family in their time of need. But recent happenings have brought him to seek redemption for his ways of the past.

Quirks

  • Though he tries to act cold and emotionless all the time, his tail tends to betray his anxiety, fear or anger on a regular basis.
  • He is socially inept when it comes to making friends or flirting, something that is also shown in his choices of attire. It is not uncommon for those around him to label him as shady or creepy.

Flaws

  • Pretty antisocial.
  • Won't partake in playful behavior.
  • Passively judgmental of untraditional pairings.
  • Discriminatory towards most of clans.
  • He tends to distrust everyone, and it takes a while to get past his thick shell.

Fears

  • More than anything else, he fears failure.
  • Physical contact.
  • People who seem immune to his intimidation and take liberties they shouldn't with him.
  • Leaving his comfort zone.

Talents

  • As a cryomancer, Jet'a possesses the ability to summon and manipulate ice in many forms that are rarely seen amongst casters in Eorzea. In order to achieve this level of mastery with the Ice element, he had to give up his time studying on the arts of Fire and Thunder, and for this reason the spells of these elements in his possession are weaker and hardly ever used.

Intelligence

He looks to be intelligent above average, although this may actually be more something inspired by his seriousness and maturity than anything else.

Comparisons

Positive


Blue: Jet'a's younger sister and with him, the last member of the Vann family. Jet'a was recently reunited with her. After trying to get her away from her friends and their dangerous lifestyle, Jet'a has accepted at least for a time to let her fight by their side, at the condition that she lets him stay around and protect her. He refuses to call her 'Blue', as that name was given to her in ways that he does not consider orthodox.

Frondale's Phrontistery

ALC.png


Jet'a travels to Ul'dah to join the Alchemists' Guild at the age of 16, thanks to the recommendation letter of his mentor Kukurune. There, he focuses himself solely on self-improvement, spending days at the guild and nights over books to complete his studies. Ignoring the pleasantries of social life, his talent and devotion to the art quickly catch the guildmaster's rare attention, who takes him as one of his few selected assistants. Jet'a's alchemy quickly grows popular in Ul'dah, granting him high profit and a successful career in three years, a very short time. This was all in his intentions, as he planned to make as much money as he could to buy his family back from the slavemaster that still kept it captive. However, as rich as he may have become, all his plans are shattered when Dalamud falls on Eorzea, leaving nothing but ashes and ruins where the mansion he knew his family was kept at once was.

The Rose of Sharon

Roseofsharon.png


The Rose of Sharon's leader, the Althaea, had already chosen Jet'a the moment they had met. When Jet'a visits Wineport and meets the Gardener for the first time after two years, he is a changed man, a seeker of truth. The Gardener explains to him of what their association does, and in a very brief time, Jet'a accepts the invitation and decides to carry forth his plan with the support of this organization, lending his powers at its service in return.

Music Themes

Note: Vocal Songs are attributed themes in which the lyrics seem to relate or partially relate to the character. They don't mean to resemble the character's voice. The instrumental themes are meant to give an idea of the atmosphere around the character. Songs with character names (example: "Tidus's Theme") are NOT meant to indicate that the character is like the theme owner. I just find the instruments and melody fitting, not the character the song was originally addressed to.

"I've heard of a Miqo'te kid with a scar similar to that one on his face. Think it was the son of a merchant in the outskirts of Ul'dah, or something like that..."

History

Name and Lifestyle

Name Etimology

As all the other males of the Keepers of the Moon Clan, Jet'a inherited his full name by his mother,Jet Vann. The 'a indicates he is the first son of the family. Vann means 'water' in an old dialect once adopted in the lands his ancestors came from, and is likely a reference to the dominant blue color in his relatives' appearance.

Nicknames

None yet.

Current Residence

The Althaea's Orphanage, in the Mist Ward 7, Plot 17.

Before Dalamud's Fall

Birth and childhood (0-12)

Jet'a was born in the South Shroud, in a small family of hunters with a small territory costantly besieged by swarms of bandits and other hunting clans and tribes attempting to claim it. The Vann family is one of the strictest families when it comes to Keepers of the Moon's matriarchal society. A legend is passed from Matriarch to another, of how Menphina had granted women, her vessels of birth, the power to lead to Heaven the souls of their victims. The preys of a male instead, would be doomed to wander the land until the end of the time. Jet'a accepted his role of a male within the family without reserve, staying inside the camp, and going outside only when ordered to, to assist his father and uncle in gathering supplies to keep the community steady and working, while the females always took care of any fighting.

Jet'a's view of the world around him was drastically changed shortly after his sixth winter....

Other Notes

Though occasionally he'll be forced to act during sunlight, I prefer to RP Jet'a during nocturnal hours in-game. If you see me RPing in the day, chances are I started that RP session during the night and the game clock went on. In that case, ICly I consider it to be STILL night time. I like to put great emphasis in the nocturnal behavior of this character.

Wanted for Interesting Roleplay

  • Old acquaintances.
  • Chewtoys he seems unable to get rid of.
  • Anyone!
