Character

General

Tahla’li Tayuun, a young Keeper miqo’te with very little obvious direction in life. For the past year, most of his time has been split between hunting, cooking, and camping, but it’s been an admittedly boring existence. Hoping to find some sort of excitement, he decided to start visiting the Gridanian outposts around the Black Shroud. On his first visit to Buscarron's Druthers, he found it.

Appearance

Tahla’li has never been seen to wear anything but earth tones and practical leathers. And, being almost constantly on the move, he usually carries a pack or three and a bedroll on his back with his bow and quiver. Had he any money, he’d probably change his attire in a heartbeat, but it remains quite apparent that he hardly has any coin to his name.

Behaviour

Boisterous, brash, bratty, all words that could be used to describe Tahla’li’s usual temperament. On rare occasions he might be seen to be almost pensive, but immediately upon learning he has company, he’s back to his usual self.

~Elaboration will come after more RP~

Combat

Having been trained as a hunter since his youth, Tahla’li prefers ambush tactics and attacking from a distance with his bow. On rare occasions, when an enemy is particularly troublesome or hated, he will literally start spitting fire.

Friends & Acquaintances ● ♥ Rhesh'ir Zhwan – Tahla’li seems to have known this miqo’te for quite some time— he’s likely had a crush on him for just as long. For his part, Resh’ir only views him as a sort of younger brother. Though he's tried to accept this, his infatuation persists. ● Y'lyfriel Sikah – Though rather slow to warm to her, Tahla’li seems to count Y’lyfriel as a friend. He’s even gone so far as to give her pointers in her archery lessons from Resh’ir.Over time, their bond has only grown, and it seems likely Tahla'li will be getting lessons of his own. ● X'linwh Tia – Tahla'li doesn't exactly know what to think of Lin anymore. ● Onuma Ahntifi – Though their first meeting was rather rocky (the words poacher and spy were bandied), Tahla'li has seemed to warm to her. At least slightly. ● Lotan'to Jiub – Tahla'li doesn't quite know what to think of this moonkeeper. With so few words shared between them, Tahla'li has no impression positive or negative. ● ♥Rah'na Lihzeh – Happy to have finally met another male keeper that is attracted to other males (having gone for some time suspecting that he was the only one), Tahla'li spends quite a lot of his time with Rah'na. ● ♥Kodaro Ba'rococo – Although their acquaintance has only actualized anew, this oddly alliterative sunseeker has been accounted among Tahla'li's most agreeable associates. ● ♥Dawson Colwell – Tahla'li often refers to Dawson as the only Gridanian he likes. Considering how much he hates Gridania, that's saying quite a lot. Though the conjurer spends quite a lot of time getting himself lost in the wilderness, Tahla'li enjoys what time he gets to spend with him, being frustrated by and grateful for his sometimes cryptic advice. ● Surilian Blu – Like many other female miqo'te, Tahla'li initially greeted Suri with suspicion. This, however, quickly dissolved away as soon as her hapless nature was made clear. He now views her as a friend, and despite her tendency to show up randomly without his knowing, he typically enjoys his time around her. That said, following a conversation with Resh'ir, he's agreed to help keep an eye on her...

History/Timeline

Originally from the Molkoh tribe, Tahla’li left less than one year ago with the intention to never return. His exact motivations for doing so seem to have something to do with being his mother’s third son and his refusal to allow himself to be married off.
