Seidan Buhen

Seidan Buhen

Upon initial meeting, it is clear to most that Seidan appears rather similar to the majority of his kind. This Au Ra carries the presence of a traveler, shown through a dirty face and the many pouches he carries at his belt.

Hailing from the eastern continent of Othard, Seidan has lived his entire life in a large village near the nation of Doma. His life from very early years has been one of training and battle. Born to a family of brave warriors, Seidan’s parents raised him with the sole intention of him becoming a force to be reckoned with. With a burning passion to honor his family lineage, Seidan worked for countless cycles to master a form of combat. However, from a young age the Raen found that his talents were less based around physical strength and leaned more towards magical arts. Years later, Seidan found himself within the elite of his village, though it was to be short-lived. Now branded an exile, the Raen has reached the shores of Eorzea to continue honing his skills and to search for a new land to call his home.

Compared to most of his kind, Seidan measures at a relatively small build of 6 fulms 8 ilms. He has a toned build from a lifestyle of training and combat. His legs show signs of thicker muscle compared to his chest and arms due to him not usually wielding any type of melee weapon.

The man has a rather slim face, with thin lips and eyebrows that match the dark hair atop his head. His skin is dark, comparable to the night sky at times, and cause his pale grey eyes to have a striking appearance compared to the rest of his dark form. The scales that decorate his face and body share this striking contrast as they are a bright white color, defining the man as one of the Raen.

His hair is thick, scruffy and often dirty. The Au Ra makes little effort to style it, only making sure to keep it out of his face. The cut of his hair is not clean, either, implying a job that he has done himself. He never lets it grow too long, always receiving a jagged, brutal cut to it when it gets even slightly close to impairing his vision. Long hair can be such a nuisance, after all!

A quick look at this Raen shows that, despite his messy hair, he takes some pride in his appearance. His clothes are usually pristine and kept in a good condition, the man sticking with a mixture of fine cloths and leathers. His choice of clothing is usually light and simple to allow ease of movement.

Seidan's voice is most notably quiet and calm. He very rarely raises his voice, making sure to keep his cool. His grasp of the common language of Eorzea is surprising considering his newly arrived state, suggesting he has had experience before arrival or a rather exceptional teacher.

Strengths

Seidan’s strengths lie in his well-trained state and his sense of honor. To begin with, he is incredibly loyal to those who have shown they deserve his trust. Despite his trust being betrayed in the past, once someone has shown they are worthy of earning it, he will do whatever it takes to not let them down. He has a great knowledge of travel and has a wide variety of survival skills under his belt, such as building fires, cooking meats and navigating.

His skill with manipulating aether and experience through training exercises serve to push Seidan into a supportive role for many groups. He aims to utilise his skill set to protect others from harm and soothe any wounds they take in combat. Should the need to go on the offensive present itself, Seidan serves as a ranged combatant via flinging spells from afar. While capable, his skill at manipulating aether into offensive spells is far weaker compared to his supportive ability.

Seidan’s experiences have developed him into something of a protector and healer for those he cares about.

Flaws

While Seidan’s strength and skill is always a welcome addition on a battle field, the Au Ra has a distinct lack of trust due to a recent betrayal that was close to his heart. It now takes the man a good while to trust new people who come into his life and, often, he will begin to doubt them through his paranoia.

His upbringing has impacted the man causing a lack of physical combat ability. Although Seidan was born to two impressive warriors of his home village, the young man has received little to no training with a weapon and struggles with the concept of close ranged combat.

Seidan also struggles with spontaneity. The majority of battles he has fought, he has always had time to plan with other combatants and allies. Rushing in headfirst without any kind of plan prepared is a great struggle for him, as he often fears that his rushed judgment will cause an injury to those he is fighting alongside.

Skills and Preferences

Seidan's biggest love is to train. He rarely does this with others, though is always open to people aiding and joining him. He is a firm believer that it is possible to learn things from every single person.

His recent exile is now one of his biggest driving factors, causing the Au Ra to push himself to learn new skills and explore new areas. He has found enjoyment in his travels thus far, and as such adventuring and searching for a new home has become something bitter sweet for him.

Relationships

Family

Seidan was born to two warriors within his village. He was an only child and from an early age they raised him with the intent that he, too, would join the warrior class of his people. His progress and skill allowed him to climb the ladder and he was happily married with a child. A recent betrayal, however, has led to the man being exiled from his home, leaving the fate of his family unknown.

Author's Notes

This character is on the Balmung server.

I'm always open to quickly jumping in-character 90% of the time. Please don't be afraid to say 'hi' or drop me a /tell in-game. I'm always up for random RP meets, too. I am in the GMT time zone, but often play late. Especially on weekends! I also adore RPing out in the wild, so please hit me up IC out in the game-world even more so than inside a city!
