The Character

Living in complete solitude in the Shroud, Naoh'ra spends most of his time deep in study and practicing thautamurgy. He used to be a minstrel of sorts, so he says, and carries song and poetry with him always. He can sometimes be caught singing, though it isn't often.

He has no family that he lives with, and rarely brings them up, and when he does he simply says that sickness had gotten a hold of them and they just died.

Naoh'ra had lived in Thanalan with a Seeker tribe, the Lynx, for a short while. It was strange as all hell but still he welcomed the help they offered when he had gotten hurt and learned quite a deal about Seekers in general.

He is a bit of an odd Keeper of the Moon, as if he hasn't been one for long.

Menphina the Lover

Naoh'ra takes solace under Menphina's light. He used to be an avid worshiper of Azeyma, but feels that she mocks him by hurting his eyes and blinding him in the daylight he used to enjoy. So, he turned to Menphina for company and guidance in his new life. He's still learning of her and figuring out how exactly he feels about her, but he loves her like a Seeker loves the sun.

Thaumaturgy

Naoh'ra recently took up the art of Thaumaturgy not for battle, but to prepare the dead. He assists in readying the dead for funerals and wakes, and it brings him an odd amount of peace. He is not by any means a great Thaumaturge, but he is learning steadily and trying to tame his skill.

Combat

While Naoh'ra typically uses magic, at home he hunts with only a bow and arrow.

He has a superb sense of hearing and scent, as well as balance. He only has good vision in the pitch darkness of night, however, and any bright lights at all, even when exposed for long periods of time hurts his eyes and he can't see a thing.

Relationships

Positive:

• • X'tai Tia: They've spoken a few times in the Quicksand while Naoh'ra was trying to get into the Thaumaturge guild, and from time to time he'll bump into him in ul'dah. They joke around a lot and he really enjoys the seekers company, even though he doesn't really like his brother.

Neutral:

• C'sanhsa Tia: He doesn't particularly dislike or like him. He finds him strangely happy, and it bugs him but he views him as more annoying than a negative person to be around.

Negative:

• K'ovu Tia: Dude literally stole his leg and blew it up with a firework.

Romantic or otherwise:

• Aran'sae Dia: Naoh'ra views him romantically, even though they 'don't know each other'.

Disability and Physical Limitations

Naoh'ra lost his left leg from the mid thigh down due to a run in with a cannibal.He paid a hefty fine for a blacksmith to fashion him a new leg that was lightweight and functional, as well as easy to hide. He took some time to pretty it up to make himself feel better, figuring that if it was more ascetically pleasing it wouldn't be as depressing. He can still feel his leg there from time to time, and will often scratch and itch or try to move his toes, which brings him near to tears when he is reminded his leg isn't there.

Due to the severity of the injury Naoh'ra has a hard time running and keeping up with others, and needs to take his time when walking or simply standing up. He is pretty prone to falls if he puts too much weight on the leg, though most often it's simply because the knee either locked up or didn't straighten out before he took his step and he just falls over.

Some days are better than others pain wise. It's either a constant annoyance, or agony. It tends to hurt the most at the end of the day after he's traveled or walked around a little more than he should have, or if he took a tumble down some stairs (again.)but most often he can cover it up and carry on his day.

Tiny facts

• He can't see very well in the day light or even indoors if it's brightly lit and often wears shaded spectacles. It physically hurts to be in bright area's and he will more often than not choose not to be there.
• He has a happy little piglet that follows him around. Or, should I say baby behemoth? He never asked for this, it just won't leave him alone.
• He has a shoulder tattoo, and a couple body piercings.
• He always wears a ribbon with a red rose on his wrist, saying it's from an old mate of his. He also wears various necklaces from children.

Relationships and Sexuality

Naoh'ra is demisexual, not experiencing sexual attraction to anyone until a romantic or emotional bond is formed between the two of them. Race, sex, gender expression and so on make no difference to him in his attraction to someone, as personality and just 'clicking' with someone is far more important to him.

He craves romance, but he doesn't pursue it. He's nervous to try anything anyway and isn't overly bold in his approaches. He hopes to one day have a mate find him, but won't actively look.
