Biography

The Lucky Hare Inn is not the most popular tavern in Rabanastre, but to its patrons, it is the most beloved. The Viera proprietress is best known by her city-name of Madam Cha, married to a Rabanastre native with four children. There was a set of triplets and their younger brother, the boy named Taeyong. Where his siblings spent much of their time helping their mother in the kitchen, Taeyong was on the street as his mother did not find him suitable to be put to work with his blindness. He father was a conjurer who studied Soul Crystals, passing down the knowledge of the elemental arts to Taeyong to better defend himself and find his way around. Taeyong would only use these abilities to get up to no good, especially in Lowtown of what would eventually become Garlean-occupied Dalmasca.

Taeyong found himself in the company of pirates, particularly with the information broker known colloquially as the Mink. Becoming his apprentice, they spent their time stealing good by posing as bankers, all until the Mink was discovered by Garlean authorities and fled without Taeyong, who spent his late teens in prison in the Nalbina Dungeons.

It was there Taeyong went under the job as an information broker, turning against many sky pirate fleets he had association with. The guard regularly stationed outside of his cell, the Miqo'te Gayah, caught wind of his dealings, but refused to turn him in. Instead, after Taeyong had gotten into a spat with a pirate slaver in the waterways, Gayah used the commotion to help Taeyong escape, fleeing with him through Barheim Passage. Gayah was a Garlean conscript, but Taeyong also learned of her past as a former slaver herself, supplying the Garlean trade of laborers. Despite this, he stayed by her side, going into hiding with her.

The two made off as stowaways on a Mercatus-class airship before they hijacked it, making their way to the port city of Hingashi, Kugane. Continuing their life as pirates, they worked together in the underbelly to funnel Garlean weaponry to trafficking rings. When their sources all but dried up, Taeyong became a private investigator, pairing up with the Ilsabardian Hrothgar, Olena. She had served as a mean of their transit before, so her trust ran deep with the two. So too did Taeyong and Gayah's bonds grow. After four years, they were married, eventually producing a daughter named Aejung after three years.

Albeit, it was when Aejung was but three that Gayah ran away. Taeyong and Olena followed her tracks to Dalmasca again, spending several years across the Ruby Sea to ally with even those that would be after her bounty. In recent years, it came to light that Gayah was slain by members of a cult following Saint Ajora, with Faram as their one true god. Conflicted at the news, especially being given to him by a Bangaa - Waggi of the Sanga - who led a fleet after Gayah's head, Taeyong relented to join the fleet at the behest of Waggi's vice admiral, Tai Upperbough. Where the airships would carry him and his partner Olena, he would have to find out.

Personality

Attitude

He is rather deadpan and snide, with a rather limited sense of dry humor, leaving him to come across as rude occasionally. There are few things he won't have some kind of commentary for, whether it involves him or not, albeit he'll most often take a neutral standpoint in things. Meanwhile, he hates the idea of fighting unless there's a valid reason to.

Sociability

While he unintentionally appears to be disinterested a lot of the time (which is partly a result of his lack of expressiveness), getting involved socially with others isn't a challenge to him anymore, as much as it was to him as a child due to his disability. He's quite approachable, as well as a good listener, both figuratively and literally.

Expressiveness

This is limited, somewhat due to his demeanor and also because of his visual limitations, causing him to use facial expressions and gestures less often than others as he himself can't read them. Despite this, he doesn't hesitate to inform others of his opinions vocally.

Notes & Trivia

  • He is totally blind in both eyes as a result of retinopathy of prematurity (stage 5) as he was born premature and had a very low birth weight. Otherwise, he is currently healthy.
  • He has a scar over his left eye, given to him in a scuffle with a Bangaa gunbreaker. He also has bold black tattoos across his back and upper arms.
  • Taeyong is a lacto-ovo-vegetarian, meaning he'll eat dairy and eggs but no meat. His least favorite foods include noodles and peppers. He doesn't like the texture of the former and the taste of the latter.
  • His favorite foods include nopales, cactus fruit, carrots, and kale.
  • He speak and reads Eorzean Common, some High Ivalician, Nagxian, and Hingan.
  • Taeyong is familiar with the Common form of braille. He also uses a brailler between him and his allies; a form of typewriter that puts braille on paper. He has two; one for the Eorzean alphabet and one for Dalmasca's. He can also read raised or indented letters on surfaces.
  • Taeyong carries two canes; one for both combat and navigation use, as well as one purely for navigation. He uses vibrations in aether to get around.
