Going by the name of Silent more often than not, this young one appears to be in his late teens at the most (judging by appearance and actions alone). There isn't much known about him simply due to his inability to speak. He can often be seen wandering in and around Ul'dah, either hunting for food or watching passersby.

Character

Appearance

Physique — He's slightly shorter than the average male, though that doesn't seem to stop him. It remains as both his greatest advantage and biggest disadvantage. While his baggy clothes appear not to fit him quite so well, anyone attempting to to touch or feel him up would immediately notice his toned muscles (or just catch him shirtless and stare)!

Scars and Marks — On his neck is a set of jagged scars, obviously once deep, and extending across his throat. On the left side of his neck are four puncture scars, marking the beginning of the slashes. Across his chest is a particularly large scar, fairly new and running from right shoulder to his left hip. On both his arms, starting from his hands and extending up just past his elbows, are a set of tribal-like tattoos. These are usually hidden by both gloves and bandages for an inexplicable reason.

Personality

At first glance he seems a little strange, but he’ll easily start up a conversation in any environment he feels comfortable in. He tries very hard to stay cheery and connected. It’s only recently that he started making new friends, since he doesn’t know where to start while he can’t talk. He also gets frustrated, easily. The number one factor being his inability to talk, or make any kind of sound, to the point where he’ll try for the sake of trying and end up curling up in a little hole for a few days. Finally, like any normal person, he has a terrible inability to not talk about his problems, something that really only got worse since he can’t talk.

Combat

General

Strengths: He’s pretty nimble, like an opo-opo. He can climb most anything, often using his scorpion wire for assistance if he needs to, and he’s not afraid of heights. He appears to be quite skilled, using his small stature to get under his opponent’s guard. Finally, he’s something of an silent acrobat, able to keep his balance under most circumstances, and even using an opponent’s body against them.

Weapons: The only weapons he's been observed using, in combat, are his fists cuffs and a knife. He also uses what appears to be a thin wire made of a strong metal, which he uses to reach heights he needs to or simply to tie up an opponent. He'll often infuse it with his own aether to strengthen it when needed.

Weaknesses: Because of his profession and his choice of fighting style, He doesn’t wear any metal armour. This leaves him vulnerable to a lot of serious damage. His shortness also makes it hard for him to reach things on the third shelf of most pantries.

Relationships

Family

[Mother] — (Unknown)

Having run away from his tribe, in a sense, at such a young age, K'washi doesn't remember much, if anything, about his mother. What he does remember is how proud she would be whenever he was successful at his lessons, and he remembers their fight. He does not, however, remember what it was they even fought about in the first place.

[Father] — (Unknown)

Right from a young age, K'washi never knew much about his father, as he would simply be busy with the other females of the tribe.

Acquaintances

Avalyn Piper — (Grateful)

Their first encounter resulted in his ability to learn how to spell and recognize his own name! Eager as always to make friends, he's unlikely to forget how she helped him and her offer to continue helping him in his quest for communication!

Khrys Relanah — (Curious)

He's really only met her twice, so he's unable to form a decent opinion of her. He's friendly with her regardless, and doesn't shy away.

Enemies

None!

History/Timeline

Age: 0 - 12

Born in the Hipparion Tribe, K'washi was taught to hunt at a young age as per tradition. Growing up he was small, and often times got into scuffles with those around him. Despite this, he was easily one of the sneakier hunters and performed well, receiving his name at the proper age and even the affection of his mother at the time. He never spent much time with either of his birth parents, and so often has trouble remembering what they look like.

Age: 12 - 16

By age 12, it was quite obvious that he had no intention of becoming a Nunh, let remaining as a Tia. Defiant as ever, and after an argument with his mother, he ran off into the Sagolii desert without turning back to his tribe. Yet to his luck, a sandstorm hit, confusing him and getting him lost. It's through sheer luck that he's able to stumble upon the Drake Tribe at the Forgotten Springs, badly wounded. With his throat slashed by sandrakes the rest of his body practically in shreds, he's taken in to be cared for and nursed back to health, battling both pain and infection. He remembers little of the time, as most of it with the Drake Tribe was spent unconscious.

Once properly healed, he travels with a merchant back to Ul'dah. He has a tough time scraping by, like most, but easily fits in with the refugees pouring in due to the Calamity and loss of Ala Mhigo. It quickly becomes apparent that he's no longer able to speak, and being unable to properly read and write, he has an incredibly difficult time communicating. Using what little skills he'd learned through watching, he manages to hunt and sell enough to buy himself a ticket for an airship to Limsa Lominsa, where he subsequently stows away on a pirate ship. He spends three years on the boat, learning much more about the sea, combat, and other techniques.

Age: 17 - Present

Tired of life on the sea, K'washi returned to Ul'dah, where he's so far taken to simply relaxing and enjoying each day that goes by, and watching as the citizens move about. He's only recently started to interact more with others around him once again.
