General Information
Styliani Leo'ke grew up a pirate on the waters around Limsa Lominsa. He has always been very bright and friendly. When the Calamity happened he witnessed it from a distance, but it didn't take long for it to be far too close for comfort. The ship his family was on, his father's ship, went down. The only survivors were himself, and Sobibi- or so he thought. A year later they found Trivont, his mentor on the ship. Four more years later Styliani found his brother Iz'ya once again. When he's not out adventuring, he typically enjoys cooking, dancing, and fishing.
Appearance
Styliani has dark brown skin and lavender hair that falls to his shoulders with a few small braids. His eyes match his hair color, albeit are a bit brighter from the light reflecting in them. He has tattoos that adorn his arms, and one one his face. He's 5 fulms and 1 ilm tall, 5 fulms and 3 ilms tall if you include the ears. His tail is long, and very fluffy. Typically he wears black and white clothes, and a black witch hat. His style tends to be somewhat provocative, commonly showing off his stomach and legs.
Personality
Personality Traits
- Excitable
- Independent
- Cuddly
- Playful
- Supportive
- Energetic
Mannerisms
Styliani is very energetic, always running from place to place. As a child he loved to dance and climb every surface possible on the ship. During the parties he would stick close to his mother, so he could be close to the source of the music. There were few other children on the ship, but it never stopped him from dancing with anyone and everyone. Often times he'd dance with half the crew before his energy ran out.
As an adult he remains very excitable, and will always chat up a storm with anyone who'll let him talk. When he gets a good evening to spend in the taverns he certainly enjoys it.
Philosophy & Ideals
He wants to help people, and will jump at the chance to help. He doesn't think much on life after death, or if karma is real. He just lives one day at a time, taking things as they come. He's not great at thinking about the future. He doesn't think much of the gods either. He's familiar with them, and commonly makes offhanded comments to them, but he's no devout worshiper of any of them.
Quirks
- Cooking: He likes to cook. As a child he was always watching the chef on the ship and helped him out as often as he could.
- Music: He loves the concept of stringed instruments and woodwinds, but he's just never gotten the hang of stringed instruments. Much to his dismay.
- Combat: While he's learned some physical combat, he's far more skilled in magic. As an adult that's fine, but as a child his brother always got upset because he was "cheating" when they would spar.

Early Life
Childhood
Styliani Leo'ke grew up on the seas of Limsa Lominsa. While most of his childhood friends were merchants kids, he was a pirate. He understood fairly easily that many people thought he was wrong to be a pirate, that he and his family should be arrested for criminal actions. But, he never agreed. They did what they did to survive. The idea that his family could do something else to make a living seemed ridiculous to him. Both his parents enjoyed their life, as did Iz'ya. He had no reason to doubt his way of life.
He had several friends growing up that made an impact on him. One of them is a boy named Ana'ra, who he only met a few times as a child when Ana'ra was in Eorzea with his father on business. They got along well, even if Ana'ra was a bit naive and fell for Styliani's tricks and pranks on a regular basis. The other friend he had during his childhood, though this friend was more of a babysitter than a friend. An older boy, who would watch over him and Iz'ya when they made port. Iz'ya poked fun at Styliani for having a crush on their babysitter, but of course nothing happened beyond that crush.
Adolescence
As he grew up he was eager to learn. He listened well to his father's lessons on sailing and pirating, his mother's lessons on music, and Trivont's lessons on magic. The only thing he didn't learn well was combat with weapons. Iz'ya and Thancred both did what they could to teach him, but Styliani just never had a knack for using a blade. The magic that flowed through him felt far more natural than any sword or dagger.
As for his moral growth, he wanted to spend his time spreading smiles, much as he always has. His parents sometimes gave conflicting messages, as his father drove home the point that you do what you must to survive, in contrast to his mother who encouraged helping others wherever you can. He came to the conclusion that he should help others as best and as often as he can, but that requires strict knowledge of when he can. His limits have to be understood, or else he won't be able to help others.
Adulthood
As an adult, he went through many things. He considers the beginning of his adulthood age 16, because that's when the Calamity happened, and he lost his family. He set out for Ul'dah with Sobibi, the only other survivor of their crew. Sobibi knew the thaumaturges guild would be best equipped to help him, and control the dark magic that was at his command. She second guessed that choice though, as Styliani seemed to be lost in his depression. He had good days, where he was the same boy as he was before. But most days he seemed lost, violent and angry. After a year in Ul'dah they found Trivont again, though he had sustained injuries from the ship going down that would never heal. He had a limited time to live, and he knew it well. His presence helped though. It made Styliani realize there was something wrong with him, but he wasn't able to figure out what it was.
It was only when he met X'Rhun Tia, three years down the road, that he was able to correct himself. He learned to heal, to feel again. The darkness that had taken over his life seemed to fade away, as X'Rhun taught him how to balance white magic and black magic, as well as how to wield a rapier. He thought that Iz'ya would be proud of him for finally learning to use a blade, even if it's not the style Iz'ya wielded for years. Another year passed after meeting X'Rhun, and Styliani found himself in a much better mental state. He never had blackout anymore, he never woke up bloody and still exhausted. He was able to support people the way he wanted to, but he also didn't feel like he could do that in Ul'dah.
Recent Times
The past year and a half has held many things for him. He joined the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, he's joined the Maelstrom, and he's joined and left a few different Free Companies. Being apart of the Maelstrom felt wrong at first, as they worked to stop pirate activities, but he couldn't ignore Minfilia's request for him to join one of the Grand Companies, and he couldn't help but go home. When recruits began coming in, talking about how much they look up to him, it opened his eyes a bit on what he could do in the Maelstrom, aside from hunting pirates.
His adventures with the Scions are what's lead his life though. They took him across all of Eorzea, then farther beyond that. He was introduced to new places, such as Doma and The Azim Steppe. He even managed to gain entry to Ishgard, a place he now calls home. He's had encounters with dragons, that ranged from small skirmishes to rescue a noble boy that left his legs shaking and heart weak, to the resummoning of Bahamut in front of him. These encounters forced him to face his greatest fears, to see his world come crashing down around him, only to be lifted up again by those nearest to him.
