Appearance

Height: 5 fulms and 7 ilms, a bit tall for a Miqo’te.

Hair: Burgundy, which he normally keeps up to bar it from flying everywhere. While its length certainly doesn’t qualify as long, it’s prone to sticking in his face at the most inconvenient times. Unfortunately, lots of movement tends to loosen more strands than he’s comfortable with. Much like his hair, his slim knee-length tail carries the same red wine color. However, the feline ears on his scalp gradually dot and darken to black along the tips.

Eyes: Li’ur’s eyes are a teal-like green with the iris slit like any other Seeker of The Sun. He’s rather proud of their color; however, he’s far more comfortable with that knowledge being privy to those whom he’s close with.

Mouth: If it’s not in a straight line, the odds favor it forming a cocky smirk or toothy grin.

Complexion: For someone who lives in Ul’dah, his skin oddly lies on the lighter side of the tanning spectrum. Although faded nicks and cuts pepper the entirety of his body, they’re far from noticeable in most instances, and Li’ur feels absolutely no shame in their existence. On the contrary, he’s extremely proud of them.

Build: Thanks to years of training within the Pugilists’ Guild, his body consists of lean muscle with most of the definition along his arms and thighs. While not exactly thin, he isn’t bulky either.

Voice: ((Oops))

Style: Li’ur doesn’t favor overly stylish clothing, but he can’t afford to dress excessively casual while in Panther Lily. As such, he teeters on the very fine ledge of what could be considered style and comfort. Even though he isn’t afraid of showing a little bit of skin, he likes to believe he knows what to wear in order to seem enticing rather than ridiculous. In order to keep his dignity, he stays far away from harnesses and subligar as possible.

Personality

Not a whole lot of tact and definitely a little rough around the edges, Li’ur tends to give off a bad impression more often than naught. He often refers to others by their appearance or features, which lands him in hot water from time to time. He also dishes out a slew of teasing comments, but the repercussions of his unappreciative remarks never seem to properly click as inappropriate in his mind. Will he ever learn? Who knows?

Overconfidence is another serious fault of his. This predominantly occurs around taverns and the local alehouse where he picks fights over the smallest details. Predictably, Li’ur bites off more than he can chew in terms of battle partners, so it isn’t uncommon to find his beaten arse in the gutter. Of course, he never admits to losing a match, coming off as a sore loser who blames the elements around him than his abilities.

With those being said though, a somewhat endearing side lies beneath that cocky exterior. With only the women of Panther Lily to call family, Li’ur holds them as the most precious things in his life. As such, like every nunh, he defends them at every turn. Whether it be from overly touchy customers or an ignorant passersby, he’s always quick to their aide. Unfortunately, this creates an easy trigger just ripe for pushing, and Li’ur always strikes whenever someone baits.

Alignment: True Neutral

Morals: Curiously, he believes in saving judgment for later and lives on the philosophy of not labeling someone until he understands their story. The ladies of Panther Lily stand as a constant reminder of this, so he (typically) reserves personal thoughts on others. However, Li’ur can be rather hypocritical considering he throws insults at anyone who crosses him in some way, shape, or form. Perhaps he just teases anyone who stimulates his interest?

Likes: His “sisters” A good spar or sparring partner Exploring (dungeons in particular)

Dislikes: People looking down on the Panther Lily women Rough or rowdy customers Others stealing the final blow Underspiced food

Favorites: Color: Green Food: Orobon stew Drink: Mulled tea Place: Panther Lily

Abilities

Adventurer:

Monk/Pugilist

Strengths: Like most Miqo’te, Li’ur is very agile and quick. Even though he doesn’t hit very hard, he has the ability to deliver series of jabs and punches quicker than others. If one considers being stubborn an asset, he’s got that in the bag as well seeing how he’d rather collapse from exhaustion than call it quits.

Weaknesses: Li’ur acts before thinking, making him a rather predictable opponent. Just about any sort of strategy flies over his head, and he’ll take whatever opening is available. It’s really easy to string him into a trap. Li’ur’s stubborn streak can come as a double edged sword though as he doesn’t know when his body is at its limit.

Crafter:

Sewing Goldsmithery Cooking

Strengths: Li’ur picks up the techniques of sewing fairly easy so he does rather well at mending torn clothing. Likewise, he's able to make clothing, on a technical level. The same can be said for his goldsmithery and cooking.

Weaknesses: Oddly, he doesn't grasp the creative concept in any of his skills. This makes everything he creates appear very methodical or outright plain. His dishes are also commonly overspiced so a taste tester is always needed in the event he tries to make something for someone. Additionally, patience is a problem across all of his crafts.

Friends and Associates

((Would you like to be Li’ur’s friend or rival?))

• I'rishna Jnal — A Seeker originally from the Buffalo clan; Li’ur’s biological mother. After her secret liaisons with a tia from another tribe were discovered, she was exiled and forced to wander the Sagolii. She made her way to Ul'dah and found housing within a Miqo'te specialty brothel. Sadly, she succumbed to disease four cycles after Li'ur's birth.

• Myren Aht — A Keeper originally from the Black Shroud. She was once highly sought after for her 'exotic' appearance but her popularity has mostly quieted down. She looks after the Panther Lily staff much like a mother or older sister would. Oddly, Li'ur can't seem to call her either.

• R’heva Yassh — An upbeat and energetic Keeper. She willingly left her tribe to pursue work within Ul'dah and has never looked back.

• Y'rhika Tia — Li'ur's romantic partner..? Deemed annoying and stupid, Y'rhika's persistent attempt at forming a friendship ended with them brawling on the Pugilists Guild floor. After several, less hostile, run-ins, the two were able to strike up a mutual relationship which often involved an occasional lover's tryst. Recently, however, sightings of the Seeker have been nonexistent.

History

Backstory: Being the son of a Seeker estranged from her clan meant little in a city full of Hyur, Lalafell, and Roegadyn with the occasional Elezen. Being the son of a whore, on the other hand, translated into something entirely different. At the behest of their parents, most of the other children refused to include Li’ur in their antics which led to name calling along with the occasional tug of his ears or tail. While this surely out casted him from their little social rat pack, Li’ur had no qualms about tearing them asunder. No matter where one looked or what time of day it was, a child would always find their way against his fists, nails, and teeth. Naturally, this thuggish behavior caused a series of problems for Panther Lily and various families alike.

After his mother’s death, Myren became a mentor of sorts to Li’ur. She taught him to look after the girls of Panther Lily, meaning he focused on tending to their basic needs such as laundry and meal prep. Much to everyone’s relief, this kept him away from the streets, and his short reign of terrorizing the children on the streets came to an end. When he wasn’t sent on small errands, of course. At the age of twelve cycles, Li’ur took to the Pugilists’ Guild to better understand the techniques behind fighting. Why his fists and not a weapon? Because he’d been using those hands to deliver smack downs for years, it’d be as if he betrayed his own body. Intrigued by his enthusiasm, Hamon allowed Li’ur to join the guild, and (sure enough) the adolescent Seeker shed blood, sweat, and tears to grow stronger. However, he didn’t quite have the patience to understand the ways of a pugilist. He grasped the various forms with ease and overwhelmed some of the other members, but all he ever did was throw punches and kicks. As long as he hit his opponents and targets, he thought he was in the right set of mind. Naturally, Hamon grew weary of his one track mind.

When Li’ur reached sixteen cycles, he became increasingly aware of the lingering stares belonging to curious patrons. The women of Panther Lily also noticed this, but they never quite took to the idea of adding him to the house’s list of potential partners. Ultimately though, they allowed him to do as he pleased with his body. For a while, it appeared as though he steered away from the advances of persistent guests; however, that abruptly changed one night. He returned to Panther Lily rather late and by his side stood a smug looking Elezen man. Soon after, he took in more patrons. While Li’ur didn’t attract a large amount of guests (from both sexes, mind you) that suited him just fine.

The Battle of Cartenau occurred at his nineteenth cycle, and Li’ur felt helpless as pieces of Dalamud rained upon Eorzea. Once the destruction settled, and tense sense of calm washed over the continent, he quietly resolved to grow even stronger. Thus, his journey as an adventurer began.

Aliases: Often nicknamed “Ur” by his Panther Lily sisters
