Seda'li Tayuun
Jump to navigation

Appearance
Seda'li may have time yet to grow, but at nineteen cycles he only stands at 5'4. Even with his small stature, Seda'li carries himself with a hefty amount of confidence and sarcasm. He was taught to care for himself before his mother's death, so he was by no means a starving, lanky urchin. Her strict training allowed the Keeper of the Moon to develop a lean, well-toned physique that he enjoys showing off with his general lack of shirts. I could be, in fact, that he simply dislikes the itch of material against his skin coupled with the desert heat of his homeland, though. The trademark ashen skin tone of his race has given way to a more tawny complexion from years of being baked beneath the Thanalan sun.
Behavior
Seda'li likes to keep his distance from the unknown, the particularly dangerous, or romance in spite of his incredibly promiscuous nature. He has a terrible habit of turning a blind eye to some feelings while embracing and unhealthily clinging to others at whim. This imbalance of emotions can make him an unstable ally and a real threat to his enemies. When Seda'li does choose to close the gap between him and someone else there is nothing that could keep him from putting his all into protecting them. He often projects a very unappealing demeanor with strangers to test limitations. While he believes the logic in pushing people is sound, Seda'li's absurd way of getting to know individuals has gotten him in trouble more times than he can recall.

Character
General
Seda'li knows little to nothing about the origin or whereabouts of his tribe. His mother was separated from them and traveled to Ul'dah before the birth of her third son. Though Seda'li acknowledges that his siblings and possibly his father could be alive and well, he has no genuine desire to seek them out. His father, Qata'to, had no real ties to a tribe of his own when he and Seda Tayuun met in Ul'dah and the teenager was the product of a very short-lived romance. Seda'li lost his mother when he was fourteen, a common and unfortunate tale of an Ul'dahn family lacking the financial stability to create a safe environment as the nobility were privileged to possess.

Combat
The Keeper of the Moon only excels in the use of daggers in combat, but he has trained in archery under the tutelage of an expert Ishgardian bowman by the name Ventarel Windemere and his recently found cousin, Tahla'li Tayuun. During his early teenage years, before his mother's death, Seda'li also became interested in the use of thaumaturgy while running errands between the goldsmiths guild and their clients at the Arrzaneth Ossuary. He stole a staff meant for another, as well as an expensive set of zircon jewelry to enhance his preferred Umbral magick and practiced what little he knew about thaumaturgy. His skill is passable, but without seeking any real lessons his power is lacking.

Relationships
- ♥ Romantic Interest ♥ Sexual Desire ♥ Platonic Love ● Good Standing ● Neutral Standing ● Poor Standing
Update - 9/8 Seda'li and Rahn'a have become more intimate as of late and the Keeper is beginning to wonder if his protective nature is more than what he first believed.
UPDATE 9/1 - Seda'li approached and apologized O'vitah for the misunderstanding and the two of them are closer than they were before, but not in a purely romantic sense. Seda'li looks up to O'vitah as one of his best friends and mentors while the Nunh will always consider the boy one of his own to protect as family.
Update - 9/8 Seda'li followed Oriel out to one of his dig sites and offered to help him bring his haul back to the free company. During their conversation, Seda'li asked Oriel to join him at the Bismark for a meal. It could have been considered a date, but really the two of them probably just famished and had a mighty need to stuff their faces with cake.

Update - 9/15 Seda'li approached Rhesh'ir to apologize for his behavior. After some harsh words and a reality check from his captain, Seda'li promised to improve his attitude and participation in company matters. The two of them are now relatively friendly toward one another, but Seda'li still has a long journey ahead of him to prove he's not a complete idiot to Rhesh'ir.

Rumours
Easily Overheard Rumours
- ■ "Seda'li's a good boy, always eager to come in to make a bit of coin running errands for the guild. I'm sure he'll turn out all right, unlike most of the boys there in Pearl Lane. Now, did I misplace that necklace...?" - Ul'dahn Goldsmith
- ■ "Ah, his mother was a sweet one. Shame she did what so many others have to do here to put food in their young ones' mouths..." - Elderly Ul'dahn citizen
Somewhat Difficult To Overhear Rumours
- ■ "Hmm, haven't seen that boy with that thaumaturge staff before. Looks a bit expensive for a Pearl Lane street rat. Wonder where he picked it up from?" - Gossiping merchant
- ■ "I've seen him very little since his mother passed. Last I saw, some shady looking Roegadyn was talking it out with him behind the tavern and gave him somethin', though I'm too piss poor drunk to remember what it was or what was said." - Local Drunkard
Rarely Overheard Rumours
- ■ "We all know who left Sidor's head in that alley, but we ain't telling the authorities shite. Not after what that son of a bitch did to that boy's mother." - Pearl Lane prostitute
- ■ "He always denied anything was going on with that filthy Miqo'te, but what we heard from Jean's room at night told a far different story." - Maelstrom officer
Alignment: Chaotic Good
