It often catches people that don't know him off-guard. Smells like fragrant, scented smoke. Pleasant, but hard to place exactly what it is. First Contact Nonotome can come across as cold and aloof. He rarely ever gestures and when he speaks his voice carries minimal feeling. He is a monotome statue that only offers the smallest of smiles out of formality, only to make those that he speaks to know that he is making a real effort of be social. His actions, or inactions make him seem as if he is divorced from society, as introverted as one could possibly be. His words strike at the heart of any situation and he is not afraid to speak his mind regardless of the consequences, albeit in as few words as possible. He is more tolerant around those of faith and will opt to debate over cause conflicts. He is quiet and kind, but direct as well. He wishes to help others and will often come across as intrusive and tactless. In Good Company With company that he is comfortable with, trusts or has pledged to assist he will act with more care and warmth, though the underlying coldness exists in all of his actions. He makes more of an effort to connect with others and get to know them on a deeper level, though no matter how hard he tries there is always somewhat of a distance and there's a sense that he's trying his very hardest not to make the people he cares for uncomfortable.

Nonotome is a characteristically fleet Lalafell, quick of body and mind. When in combat he will aim to keep his distance from his would be attackers while remorselessly hailing down powerful destructive spells upon them. His focus is that a good offense is a good defense and will opt to draw upon his thaumaturgy to overpower his opponents and destroy them outright instead of dedicating spells to defend himself. When fighting against targets of ranged capabilities, he holds fast and confidently strikes at them without moving an ilm from his spot, destroying spells and projectiles that come his way with his own. Should the distance be closed by the more physically-minded he will break his stillness to dodge and defend himself, casting quick, short ranged curses to hamper and debilitate until he can either get to safety or finish his writhing foe off with his dagger, if not the spike of his scepter. While he may be quick and his spells powerful, his mortal shell cannot handle very much punishment. A single good strike can break the poise of the diminutive thaumaturge and leave him out of action. Even toughened by the tribulations in his past life, he cannot comfortably withstand very much at all, though his sheer willpower will often not let him rest and will lead him to ruin. He is a proficient ambusher. Weapons SILVER SCEPTER - An unremarkable staple among the thaumaturges of the Ossuary. He is a proficient thaumaturge with many cycles of experience behind him. CROOKED DAGGER - A small dagger with a crooked tip, likely a kind used by unsavory folk. A memory, perhaps? A last resort, certainly. Magic THAUMATURGY - Lightning, to strip away the mortal sins, - Ice, to halt the corruption, - Fire, to burn away the mortal shell and free the soul. Nonotome is also proficient in a handful of hexes and draining spells, as well as a few enchantments to aid his allies. His forte is destruction above all else but will restrict himself to spells that are considered legal in Ul'dah and Ul'dah only. While he knows how to identify several kinds of forbidden magicks, he does not practice any himself, no matter how curious or tempting that they might be. Crafting Traditional Dunesfolk Medicine, Dunesfolk Cooking, Candlemaking, "The privileged elite of the golden city in the sands wander past their walls and into the watchful eye of the Gods upon a road built of the smallfolk, by the smallfolk. They think that they can do what they want to anybody they see as beneath them. Surely there are no consequences for coercing the more nomadic dunesfolk of the desert who are just trying to get by, a thousand malms from home. Perhaps nobody will notice? Perhaps they're right. I will make them regret that." - The Sand Bat of Thanalan Birth and childhood (0-10) Nonotome was born in the Sagolii desert and was raised into a community of nomadic Lalafell on a seemingly endless pilgrimage that they had embarked upon and upheld for many generations. They were highly traditional and practical people of the land and were very insistent on upholding their culture and beliefs, strictly passing them onto their children and their children's children. Nonotome was no different, mithridated on the land's venomous creatures and taught the language of the Lalafell. He was a bright-eyed child with work ethic in abundance and would energetically dart from duty to duty around the caravan to help the elders and craftsmen. While his assigned duty was to help in caring for the herd of Aldgoats, he often helped his mother cook and was the curious apprentice of the elderly community apothecary. He proved to be a creative, resourceful student and even went so far as to teach himself how to read and write by studying and copying the old tomes and scrolls kept by the caravan. While he was an intelligent, motivated child that was so full of life and wanderlust, he was frail and physically unimposing. This did not please his father, one of the caravan guards. He considered his son not to be strong enough for his liking, how could he fill his father's shoes and protect the community if he was not strong enough to heft even the smallest sword?
