Basic Info
"I'll keep searching."
—Jet'a Vann
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, probably 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, Miqo'te in particular, as superiors. He also shows a complete lack of sense of humor, either because he doesn't get jokes or doesn't want to bother trying 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 lately seem to 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.
He prefers to travel alone, with the sole company of 'Golden', a dark brown unicorn that he rescued in the North Shroud a long time ago ((Sleipnir Mount IC interpretation)).
Appearance
Height: Very tall for a Miqo'te. (Almost 5.7 fulms)
Weight: In shape, with lean developing muscles.
Complexion: Tanned, slightly ashed, but not enough to be called 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 many 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.

Personality
Jet'a is the strong silent type. He speaks only if needed, but when he does he'll likely say something important. He is a strict, determined fighter with a dry wit. As a hunter, Jet'a devotes his life to carry over his purpose while trying to protect those who depend on him, putting the matters of those close to him, or his family, before his own. This may be seen as a somewhat reckless and self-inflicting behavior that will often put him in danger.
Beneath the quietness Jet'a is angered and disgusted over the events of his past, and still mourns the loss of his family. He regards himself as a failure for letting the last female carrying his family name go lost. He has little respect for the Twelve likely due to his harsh past, where no merciful god seemed to gaze upon him or his family in their time of need.

Affiliations
Frondale's Phrontistery
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
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.

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.

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....
