Later still, she went by “Sehlti Wiht” after the [[Lore:Primals#Bahamut|Calamity]] due to a supposed fugue state she suffered. During this time, she became widely known as “Seldi Witt” due to non-Miqo'te difficulties pronouncing the name. Though she has worked to correct this, some places still know her by this latter name. |

== Appearance == | == Appearance == | ||
− | : | + | : Kahti is above average height for miqo'te female. Although a non-miqo'te may have trouble telling, to another miqo'te, she'll appear to be in her mid-forties. She is athletic, and generally healthy. Her skin is a darker shade of grey, and upon close inspection, has a web of faint scarring, like a porcelain doll shattered and glued back together. Her visible fur is naturally black with gold streaks, though she occasionally dyes it. Her eyes are oddly colored, the right grey, and the left normally brown. Intense channeling of aether causes the brown eye to turn red, which can takes weeks to fade. She often wears a mild flower perfume, and bathes regularly. |
− | : She tends to wear clothing | + | : She tends to wear black clothing, only occasionally accented by colors other than gold or silver. A black capeline hat rests on her head almost any time she is out and about, and when it is absent, she wears tinted lenses instead. Her clothing is well maintained, and she will often replace a garment if it becomes too worn. She is fond of jewelry, and wears it regularly. |
== Behavior == | == Behavior == | ||
− | : | + | : Kahti doesn't seem to be familiar with social norms, and will often come off as disrespectful, aloof, or overly familiar. Despite this, she's rarely been observed to be particularly maligned, and generally seems to want the best for people, even if she doesn't fully understand what the "best" for them is. She does tend to be practical, however, and has been known to upset (or even harm) people if it serves a purpose. |
: A quick learner, she enjoys new things, and has been known to readily set aside a task if curiosity calls to her. This leads her to exploring often, whether the object of her curiosity is some sort of ruins, new concepts, or books. She tends not to seek these things out, however, and will only be drawn to them if they catch her attention first. She does enjoy stability, however, and will always return to home and old friends. She possesses quiet pride, and claims her hubris has gotten people killed, something she regrets. | : A quick learner, she enjoys new things, and has been known to readily set aside a task if curiosity calls to her.

(Though a prodigy among her clan, her abilities are quite normal compared to the rest of Eorzea). Prideful, she would boast about her abilities to kids without such abilities. |

Angered, she left the Black Shroud and ended up in Ul'dah, where she eventually joined the Thaumaturge Guild. Tutored by Ericia Witt, She learned from the guild quickly, and eventually returned to Gridania to assist in policing the forest, trying to earn the respect of the Elements which had previously rebuked her. |

The two eventually fell in love, and, in time, Kahti birthed a child. They purchased a small house in southern La Noscea - really little more than an old storehouse for an equally old fisher - and lived there, raising a child. |
− | : | + | : About ten years later, Kahti began working at Maelvaan's Gate. Though she became well known for being hard-working and helpful, others noted that she rarely talked about herself, instead preferring to hear others talk about themselves, or discuss arcanic theories or philosophies. She leaned towards magicks involving healing and protecting as she continued her studies. |

[edit]
"Careful with that one. She is surely mad...."
In Brief
- Kahti “Seldi” Wiht is a woman with a complicated past, and equally complicated name. She was born “Kahti Lamore”, and later changed her last name to “Wiht”. Later still, she went by “Sehlti Wiht” after the Calamity due to a supposed fugue state she suffered. During this time, she became widely known as “Seldi Witt” due to non-Miqo'te difficulties pronouncing the name. Though she has worked to correct this, some places still know her by this latter name.
- She primarily studies Arcanist magic geared towards shielding people from harm, and healing their ailments. In secret, she continues to study thaumaturgey, and was once a member of the Thaumaturge’s Guild in Ul'dah. When she has time, she studies other disciplines of magic, but has not progressed far with them.
Appearance
- Kahti is above average height for miqo'te female. Although a non-miqo'te may have trouble telling, to another miqo'te, she'll appear to be in her mid-forties. She is athletic, and generally healthy. Her skin is a darker shade of grey, and upon close inspection, has a web of faint scarring, like a porcelain doll shattered and glued back together. Her visible fur is naturally black with gold streaks, though she occasionally dyes it. Her eyes are oddly colored, the right grey, and the left normally brown. Intense channeling of aether causes the brown eye to turn red, which can takes weeks to fade. She often wears a mild flower perfume, and bathes regularly.
- She tends to wear black clothing, only occasionally accented by colors other than gold or silver. A black capeline hat rests on her head almost any time she is out and about, and when it is absent, she wears tinted lenses instead. Her clothing is well maintained, and she will often replace a garment if it becomes too worn. She is fond of jewelry, and wears it regularly.
Behavior
- Kahti doesn't seem to be familiar with social norms, and will often come off as disrespectful, aloof, or overly familiar. Despite this, she's rarely been observed to be particularly maligned, and generally seems to want the best for people, even if she doesn't fully understand what the "best" for them is. She does tend to be practical, however, and has been known to upset (or even harm) people if it serves a purpose.
- A quick learner, she enjoys new things, and has been known to readily set aside a task if curiosity calls to her. This leads her to exploring often, whether the object of her curiosity is some sort of ruins, new concepts, or books. She tends not to seek these things out, however, and will only be drawn to them if they catch her attention first. She does enjoy stability, however, and will always return to home and old friends. She possesses quiet pride, and claims her hubris has gotten people killed, something she regrets.
6th Astral Era
Youth
- Kahti was born to the Lamore Clan in the Black Shroud. The eldest of her mother's children, she inherited her mother's natural aptitude for magic. (Though a prodigy among her clan, her abilities are quite normal compared to the rest of Eorzea). Prideful, she would boast about her abilities to kids without such abilities.
- When she came of age, she tried to join the Conjurer's Guild in Gridania, only to be rejected. Angered, she left the Black Shroud and ended up in Ul'dah, where she eventually joined the Thaumaturge Guild. Tutored by Ericia Witt, She learned from the guild quickly, and eventually returned to Gridania to assist in policing the forest, trying to earn the respect of the Elements which had previously rebuked her.
- Unfortunately, eagerness and hubris are dangerous combinations, something Kahti proved by losing control of a spell, and torching a squad of Wood Wailers along with a group of poachers. Due to the nature of the spell she'd lost control of, her mother encouraged her to leave the Black Forest, and not return until she'd been forgotten.
Exile
- Kahti ended up in Limsa Lominsa, where she met and fell in love with another Keeper, named "Mhrad'to Ahnd". Mhrad'to was an aspiring cook, and pitied the exiled woman. The two eventually fell in love, and, in time, Kahti birthed a child. They purchased a small house in southern La Noscea - really little more than an old storehouse for an equally old fisher - and lived there, raising a child.
- About ten years later, Kahti began working at Maelvaan's Gate. Though she became well known for being hard-working and helpful, others noted that she rarely talked about herself, instead preferring to hear others talk about themselves, or discuss arcanic theories or philosophies. She leaned towards magicks involving healing and protecting as she continued her studies.
- Shortly before the Calamity, Kahti announced her intention to go pray to the Twelve, and left accordingly. She would later state that her mate, Mhrad'to, and her daughter, Sehlti, perished during Bahamut's rampage.
7th Umbral Era
Courier Work
- When Kahti returned to Limsa Lominsa, she was quickly determined to be suffering from amnesia. She claimed her name to be "Sehlti", and there were few left who could claim otherwise. This would later have been showed to be a fugue state when a hyur named Sherem Shaw started noticing her talking about strange things. During this time, She took to doing courier work, and eventually earned a dependable reputation with Maelvaan's Gate, the Adventurer's Guild, and the newly reformed Maelstrom.
- When her fugue state was eventually discovered after about five years, and her memories restored, she slowly distanced herself from her courier work, and started working as a mender.
7th Astral Era
Turbulant Times
- Kahti's experience during the "7th Astral Era" has been a troubled one by her own admission. Aside from time working at Bronze Lake as a mender, Kahti has had to deal with voidsent as part of a few of her contracts. At least one such voidsent possessed her for a time. Kahti notes that this is why her eye occasionally turns red. Kahti only remained at Bronze Lake until she heard of the liberation of Doma. At that point, she headed to Kugane.
- Since then, she has joined up with Gijutsu Boeki Co, a free company based out of Shirogane.

OOC Notes
- Multiclass Character - Though primarily an Arcanist, Kahti has trained in many things over the years. This doesn't mean she's very good at them, but she can typically beat out a novice.
- PvE / PvP - Despite marketing herself as a "combat healer", if you see me engaging in PvE, assume I'm Out of Character to start. I will, however, happily jump In Character if asked, but if PvE is continuing, don't expect a ton of dialogue.
- If you see me in PvP, take a picture. It's a very, very rare sight, and I'm never In Character for it.
- Roleplay Limitations - Ultimately, I'm all about an interesting and entertaining story. While Kahti is my main character, I don't expect her to be the main character. I'm pretty okay with most themes, as long as they're not overdone. Anything from Light-Hearted Fun to Dark and Violent themes are okay by me, so long as it seems realistic.
- To encourage interesting stories, I'm generally okay with many surprise things that would directly affect my characters. There is one caveat, however: Talk to me ahead of time if it makes my character unplayable for more than a day. You don't have to give me all the details if I'm not asking for them at the time. I have other characters I can play, if need be, but I'd still like to know it's coming.
- No ERP if I don't know you. If I do know you, we'll see.
