Character

General

Summary: Born in a small settlement of Keeper of the Moon Miqo'te in the Black Shroud, Sazhi'to had a relatively peaceful childhood. His mother was a huntress, his father a mage, and one of the more far-wandering males in the area. At just four years of age he was already reading, and by seven his father's influence nudged his interest towards the arcane. He quickly displayed a natural affinity with interracting with the Aether, and by ten he was immersed in every book or scroll he could get his hands on, many of which were in fact borrowed by his father from the library in Limsa Lominsa, and meant for students twice his age.

While his father wandered freely, Sazhi'to was urged quite strongly by the females of the tribe to stay close, particularly due to the increasing tensions between the Keepers and Gridania's Elezen. That changed at the age of seventeen, when he was finally able to properly summon forth both aspects of Carbuncle. Satisfied that he could keep on the right path of study, his father brought him along on his next wandering to Limsa Lominsa, taking him to the Arcanists' Guild itself to study alongside other mages first-hand.

Less than two full years later, however, the conflict with the Garlean Empire reached the breaking point. As Eorzea's forces martialed for a final resolution, Sazhi'to and the other young members of the guild were ordered to stay within the city to assist with civilians and maintain order.

His father was killed at the Battle of Carteneau while assisting with the retreat of a pinned down medical team. At the same time, the massive damage to the Black Shroud impacted his home, and he lost his mother, older brother, and younger sister in the ensuing destruction. His older sister, Mholi, had been in Gridania at the time, studying archery, and was waiting for him when the fires finally abated.

Neither one of them was able to cope particularly well at first, each silently blaming the other for their perceived inaction, though this faded over time, they still only keep in contact occasionally.

Despite this, or perhaps because of it, he has reaffirmed his determination to help others whenever, wherever, and however he can. In this vein he has since taken to learning about as many different skills and subjects as possible, from fishing to carpentry. More often than not he will be so absorbed in one thing or another that he will go without rest for days at a time. Those who express concern over this behavior are simply waved off and assured that his apparent disdain for sleep cames from a desire to learn more to help more.

Rumours

Common Rumours (Easily overheard)

■ "He's quite the chatterbox, that one. Saw him carry on three different conversations at once, the other day!" - Overworked Midlander Merchant

■ "Aye, firs' time I seen 'im, th' li'l bastard jus' waltzed in, watched us at th' forge less'n 'alf a bell, stuck 'is nose inna book fer a tick, then picked up a 'ammer an' pounded out a near perfect set o' chain links! Damndest thing I e're saw!" - Befuddled Roegadyn Blacksmith

■ "The way I hear it, he owes someone a Hells of a lot of Gil, and has to do anything and everything to pay it all back. Why else would someone pick up so many different odd-jobs?" - Shifty eyed Lalafel

Moderate Rumours (Moderately difficult to overhear)

■ "He's done an odd job or two for us, yes. Repairs mostly, and he's quite good at it. But then as soon as he catches wind of one of the girls watching him, he just finishes the job and rushes off. If it weren't for the blushing, I might think he had no interest in the girls. - Exasperated Madam

■ "I know the instructors said he was a rare case, but if being an Arcanist can make it that hard to get to sleep, I'd rather just stick with being a fisherman like my dad." - Disenfranchised Highlander youth

■ "If only the boy could settle to drinking, like any other man who's lost something dear, he might not be so high-strung. Eh? What did he lose? Family, of course, didn't we all?" -World-Weary Miqo'te Scholar

Rare Rumours (Very difficult or rarely overheard)

■ "He fell asleep in the middle of a meal once, right over there by that window. I woke him up, of course, and at least I lived to regret it. He apologized up and down, but there wasn't always a window there, you know?" -Plucky Seeker Barmaid

■ "Some say he's got a sorta pact with a Voidsent arch-fiend or other such beastie. Don't take my word for it, my cousin heard someone screaming bloody murder in his inn room one early mornin' before he came strolling out, calm as you like. Nobody else went in or out of there that day, neither!" Superstitious Dunesfolk Gambler
