Character

General

Kage was once a Dunesfolk Lalafell whose family have lived in the Thanalan for many, many years. He was traveling through Thanalan, The Clutch area, when he spied something that festered a strange feeling within him. He was driven and inspired by the events he saw. He saw Papashan and other Sultansworn come to the aid of another. It became the driving force within him to train to be a paladin and to eventually become Sultansworn. This led to him meeting with the Sultansworn, Natalie, as well as others that she knew. Recent events has caused him to realize that the politics of the job and those of Ul'dah might be something that he's not yet prepared for. However, with his family he is determined to see things through, especially for them. It is unknown to Kage how he became a Miqo'te Sunseeker. He had finished his patrol in his new occupation as a Brass Blades and was using the aethernet when next he knew it was bells later and he was naked in his new form in Crescent's Cove near Horizon. Moons later, after trials and tribulations of relationships and his career, Kage was in Limsa with amnesia. When whatever failed experiment or procedure was done to him wore off, the shock of it restored Kage's memories.

Appearance

While Kage was once the shortest of adult male Dunesfolk Lalafell, he is now the shortest of adult male Sunseeker Miqo'te. He has blue hair with highlights of a red shade and a long blue fluffy tail.

Behavior

Once he's comfortable and willing to open up, Kage will be happy to give people as good as he takes it. He's shy, soft-spoken, reserved and mild-mannered but also playfulwhen with friends. He cares very much for those he becomes friends with. As such, he does not take well to being insulted for seeing whether his friends are in danger or being harassed. Only his self-restraint keeps him from lashing out at someone physically or violently for doing so. He's very forceful when he feels like his friends need to be defended from physical or personal attack. He does not easily make friends by himself, usually making friends from friends. He can be found sitting on the rail in Quicksand, outside of Quicksand by Ruby Road, or sitting at a table in the Airship landing. Kage finds it very hard to lie to people to their faces and usually would prefer not to unless for a good reason. Thus, he hates it when people lie to him. He has a lot of anxieties about himself, but he's started to grow stronger as his training progresses. He believes in his friends and is generally too "goody two shoes". He wouldn't enforce this belief unto others, especially his friends, unless he thought that the trouble for them is too much or if it puts them into danger. He doesn't like it when his friends get hurt, being upset that they would not ask him for help or for him to cover their backs. He does not have a rigid sense of judgment only a subjective right or wrong on how people are affected.

Relationships

Family

Kage's mother's side of the family had a heavy focus in thaumaturgy and a few tomes ready for study on some black magicks. Kage's father comes from a family who specialized in goldsmithing. His father does quite well in goldsmithing so that Kage and his family were never in want. Kage has two siblings, an older brother and a younger sister. His brother continues the family's goldsmithing business while his sister has turned to alchemy. Kage was disowned by his family when he was, later found to be temporarily, transformed into a Miqo'te. Perhaps, not all of them if his gift was any indication.

Natalie Mcbeef: While previously he had only ever entertained the thought of being a Paladin and then Sultansworn after seeing Papashan, Natalie gave him the advice and courage to move forward. He viewed her as many things: mentor, friend, family... lover. Her death has left him devastated.

Roen Deneith: Kage first met Roen right after he approached Natalie about Paladins and Sultansworn. She was introduced to him as a Paladin in-training. Natalie nominated Roen to mentor Kage of sorts. At first, the two did not seem to know how it would work but throughout each individuals' training, Kage realized that Roen would be a good friend. He thinks her very worthy of the Sultansworn title, believing that she deserves it more than he does even. He now sees Roen as part of his family and he would do everything and anything he could for her. He is stubbornly and fiercely protective of Roen. Though they have been distant, Kage believes that things may one day be repaired.

Friends

Kage has made a variety of friends in the city of Ul'dah. Many of them seem to be Miqo'te but he has made friends with Roen Deneith, a Midlander Hyur. He had gotten to know many of them through Natalie Mcbeef or through being in the Quicksand. One of his closest friends is Salem, no matter how long they have not spoken to each other they are able to continue on as if they had seen each other 5 minutes past.

Enemies

Kage is generally easy to get along with and so far has not had the need nor the want to make enemies. However, he has started to have a bit of a dislike for those with lances. He's had quite a few unsavory meetings with those who wield those weapons.

Most Recent Events

Kage.jpg

Certain events caused Kage to believe that the best course of action was to purchase the supplies needed to defend his house and home. In doing so, he took out a mortgage on the house from Ul'dahn bankers to purchase Ishgardian steel cannons. In order to start repaying the loans back, Kage has both opened his house to others as well as those who need a cheaper place to live than in the Inn all the time. After watching Natalie make it to the Championship round of the Grindstone, Kage decided to test his worth as well. He too made it to the Championship round but he fell and yielded when he was distracted by his thoughts on Natalie and Faine. After Faine took care of both he and Natalie, the night was made special for the three.

Suns later, Natalie called Kage to update him on recent events and information between herself and Jameson Taeros. During their talks they were approached by three strangely decorated men. One miqo'te, an elezen, and a hyur. All three claimed to be of Nald'Thal and had their faces painted half black. Kage was stupidly outside of Ul'dah unarmed and took the large brunt of the attacks though Natalie received her fair share. It was only with the combined force of Kage's loved ones and housemates that drove the undead to dead... Until Iron Sea informed them that one of those that had been killed and dissolved reappeared to fight the roegadyn once more.

In the meantime, Kage has been informed that he is to be the mentor of one lalafell, Koporo Aporo into his own trials of the Sultansworn. This has left Kage with both apprehension and resolve. Especially after the debacle that Kage made for Rurutani... he is worried he might do the same once again. Tensions and the belief that Natalie did not trust him led to a small fight. Right after he casted a ring to propose to her, he was beaten and left for dead in Pearl Lane. The attack him left him without much memory and he'd only been left with a few items, such as his smithing kit. He had stayed in Limsa with a Blacksmith master who helped foster Kage's smithing talent, something he found to be much more... wieldy than goldsmithing ever was. One night he woke up as a Lalafell and the shock of it to his system brought back his memories. He returned to Ul'dah and his home.

Recently, as Natalie and he shared home and room, he found out that Natalie died in a botched raid. Suspicious, he suspects Taeros' hand in it, somehow. No matter what. What was once his favorite sword has become something of a botched nightmare for him to look at. He has not come to terms with Natalie's death nor has he decided if he will continue to use the sword at all. When he actually ventures outside of his room, he could be observed tearing away at the knuckles of his skin as he beats on the striking dummies he purchases for the home or drinking bar occupants under the counter.
