| − | Not truly of the Lynx tribe, X'tai ('Tai' for short) was the second son born to X'aka Nunh on a small island in the Cieldalaes Isles. His father ran a bootlegging and farming operation with his 25 females and their children, running booze (and infomation) to pirate operations and certain organisations in Limsa Lominsa. When his mother died, Tai was forced to take up her duties in order to earn his keep: catching and killing the various insects that threatened the crops. He discovered early on that the insect parts he gathered could be brewed into alchemical concoctions with the discarded brewers equipment he salvaged, and furthermore, he began a habit of observing and recording the behaviors of the insects. It has been hinted that Tai used a Diremite Pheromone to poison the pirates that were visiting X'aka Nunh in readiness to begin a shipping contract. His father's wrath at being the accused poisoner would be the cause of Tai's expulsion from the island, and exile to Eorzea.

| |
| − | About a year after his arrival in Thanalan, Tai dropped his tribal letter and took on a more descriptive surname, ''Aubade,'' meaning ''Morning Song''.<br> <br>
| |
| − | After seeing his brother become injured so often from their shared adventures, the scholar decided he needed a more stable lifestyle and chose to open a free clinic in the Goblet. It supports itself through gifts and fundraisers and the generous donations of a man named Worren Tigre. Despite Tai's intentions, life at the clinic has been hectic, and plagues, strange mutations and even bloodcurses have wreaked havoc on the tiny building.

| |
| − | Tai's worldview centers around the idea that people aren't inherently bad. His ability to see the best in people, and perhaps his generous nature lends itself to inspire others to be nicer to one another. His outlook does tend to occlude his ability to see the underhand dealings of some members of his Free Company, though. He is quick to forgive, and even quicker to come to someone's rescue, even a possible enemy. He will ramble on for hours when presented with the topics of magic or insects - two subjects at which he is most often found in study.
| |
| − | | |
| − | As Tai was disciplined in arcanistry, he chooses to manipulate aether through variations in vocal pitch and tone, singing his spells rather than using incantations. So unconscious is the effort now in raising magic this way that motes tend to gather around him when he sings casually as well. Lately his grip on arcanic healing has faltered, leading him to seek alternative methods of healing.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Tai is quick to smile, and often masks his troubles with goofy behavior. He is easily embarrassed and often awkward around strangers.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Despite his best intentions, Tai makes bad snap decisions. Whether it is impatience or fear guiding the choices, they often result in unforeseen consequences; see also "bad decision roulette".
| |
| − | | |
| − | Blue moths often follow the scholar around, which seems to raise his brother's stress levels considerably for some reason.

| − | Until recently, Tai would hang back, trying to keep out of conflicts and instead support his friends with healing magics. Due to his current state of events though, his ability to structure and construct arcanic spells was shaken, and as a result he can only tap into a wilder, more dangerous aether. The magic he can reach is elemental, but due to his inexperience the energy is unpredictable in his hands, as likely to heal as cause harm. Because of this Tai refers to it as "wild magic". He still needs to sing to help focus his casting.

| − | '''Bad Decision Roulette -''' Among the many bad decisions Tai has made as a result of snap decisions or ham-handed attempts to save people are:
| |
| − | :<font style="color:#2C3539" size="3">■</font> Taking on an almost lethal amount of corruption in order to save and redeem an enemy.
| |
| − | :<font style="color:#2C3539" size="3">■</font> Using enhanced primal magics when confronted with the possibility of being wrongfully arrested, resulting in the deaths of several people
| |
| − | :<font style="color:#2C3539" size="3">■</font> Assisting a friend in infiltrating a beastmen stronghold to rescue a tempered child (intent on experimenting on the child to reverse the process)
| |
| − | :<font style="color:#2C3539" size="3">■</font> Entrusting a known dangerous summoner with a grimoire of forbidden knowledge.
| |
| − | :<font style="color:#2C3539" size="3">■</font> Giving a strong aphrodisiac to the care of a man intending on using it in revenge.
