General Information

N'vhun is a friendly and open person who takes joy in making other people smile. When he performs, he is jovial and engaging, reveling in getting his audience to take part in shows when he gives the opportunity. Outside of his singing and dancing, however, he is much more understated. Not totally different, but bringing those who approach after or outside of his performances to realize the personality seen on the theoretical stage is very much a hyperbole of his usual demeanor; that he picks out and shows more of his more fun and loud traits. He is no less friendly, though, and is always willing to make new friends and chat with anyone who wants to approach him.

Should someone choose to push him, however, they would soon find out that his friendliness and kindness have limits. He doesn't tolerate bullshit directed at him or at others, and can become more cold and blunt - even a bit mean-spirited - if pushed too far.

Appearance

The first thing one might notice about N'vhun is his snowy white hair and equally and strangely unaspected eyes. The second, perhaps how small he is. Standing at 5 fulms and 4 ilms, N'vhun is small but lean, built for grace and speed. His skin is pale and smooth aside from a few scars littering his body, the most prominent and visible ones being the pair that create and X on the upper bridge of his nose, and a smaller one on his jawline on the left side. His usual clothing style is rather casual but stylish with tasteful dark glasses, one or two dangly earrings, a loose white top, fingerless leather gloves, somewhat tight black pants, and a pair of sensible black shoes. As a Dancer, however, he becomes much more extravagant, decorated in chains of silver and platinum and gems that glitter in the sun to attract the audiences attention, and he loses the glasses to avoid damaging them during performances.

Mannerisms

N'vhun has a few mannerisms that one can catch if they're watching close enough. He'll wring his hands or scratch at his palms when he's nervous, take off his glasses and clean the glass on his shirt when he's feeling awkward or can't think of what to talk about, nail-biting when bored and alone, playing with his tail when he's uncomfortable, wrapping his tail around people he likes, etc. These are only a few, but many more manifest in all kinds of situations, just be on the lookout for them!

Philosophy & Ideals

Early Life

Childhood

N'vhun was born to N'vhepfei Jun and raised in the Aldgoat tribe located within the Sagolii Desert of Southern Thanalan. He was a happy kid; loved his mother and his tribe, though he was restless. Far more restless than any other in his already nomadic family, though the reason was entirely unknown, even to him. When he was old enough to hold a weapon he was taught to hunt, and when he was coordinated enough to move with some semblance of grace, he was taught the fireside dances of his people.

When he was ten years old, his mother finally revealed to him the identity of his real father who was, in fact, not the Nunh of the tribe, but a young Tia named N'ketuh. This knowledge definitely threw him for a loop, but he was made to promise to never say anything about it lest he and his mother face consequences for 'living outside of the norm,' as it were. He could still interact with Ketuh if he wished - it wasn't unusual for young Tias to flock to others like them after all - but he could never address him as a father. He was promised that, when he was older and could fend for himself, his mother would tell everyone; she just couldn't bear anything happening to her young son should the tribe be told so soon into N'vhun's life. She was certain that once Vhun was older and demonstrated being no different than the rest of his family, they would take it much easier.

However, the siren song of his wanderlust continued to call to him, and his mother knew that he would never truly be just like the rest of his tribe.

Adolescence

After years of testing the limits and seeing how far he could stray away, and years of being dragged back and scolded, N'vhun finally made up his mind to sneak away in the middle of the night. He had to get out, to see what was out there, to answer the call that plagued him every night. His preparations didn't go unnoticed, though. As he was packing what he knew wouldn't be missed of the tribe's supplies, N'vhepfei caught him with bittersweet tears in her eyes. She knew. She didn't understand, not entirely, but she knew he could never stay with them for the rest of his life. She didn't yell, she didn't get angry or berate him. Instead, she helped him pack and saw her boy off in the dead of night.

Vhun was 16 years old when he left home.

Adulthood

N'vhun continued to travel well into adulthood, at first struggling immensely with adjusting to life outside of the desert and with gathering enough coin to live on, but eventually finding his way in the form of entertainment. He would dance at first, taking what he learned with his family and expanding on it to create something of his own to perform on the streets. He would eventually go on to dance exclusively at venues like private clubs and lounges should he be able to find an opening for performers with no strings attached, the art becoming his major source of income.

During his first time in the Black Shroud, Vhun even refined his archery with Gridania's Archer's Guild, taking up a few jobs with them as well when gil was tight and passersby weren't quite as generous. Eventually, he became interested in and picked up the art of music as well, taking a gamble and spending much of his earnings on a lyre that caught his eye in the Gridanian markets. Luck was on his side, though, and his love for song and composing was born as well as added to his roster as another thing to make gil with. And so the wandering entertainer was born, and he took his songs and dances throughout the Eorzean continent in hopes of spreading the joy he felt while performing to his audiences.

All the while, the call for travel never left Vhun, and as the years passed he would become increasingly concerned by it.

Recent Times

His traveling habits have not slowed down even recently, and N'vhun is becoming increasingly irritated over it and is starting to resort to more extreme measures to appease the call. As of late, he has become quite nervous and has been sitting on the decision of whether or not to finally travel to the Far East. His biggest fear right now, however, is straying too far, something he'd been warned about throughout nearly his entire childhood. This seems to be the only thing stopping him, and it's slowly seeming like the call is winning out.
