X'caizhen Tia, or Zhen, is a thirty year old Seeker of the Sun formerly of the Lynx tribe. His first 18 years were spent as a member of the tribe, and the next twelve he spent as a mercenary in various locations and capacities, including the Marauder's Guild, alongside the Maelstrom, and in Gridania as a support to the Wood Wailers and Twin Serpents. Recently, he has come to Ul'dah and the Lynxfang Pride to assist his brother, X'khai Tia.

X'caizhen Tia, or Zhen, is a thirty year old Seeker of the Sun formerly of the Lynx tribe. His first 18 years were spent as a member of the tribe, and the next twelve he spent as a mercenary in various locations and capacities, including the Marauder's Guild, alongside the Maelstrom, and in Gridania as a support to the Wood Wailers and Twin Serpents. Recently, he has come to Ul'dah and the Lynxfang Pride to assist his brother, X'khai Tia.


Zhen outwardly gives off the stereotypical impression of a kind and strong man; confident, loyal, quick to laughter and often can't be bothered with being angered or upset. He wields an axe or stall like it is a piece of his body, and wears heavy armor with the ease of years of practice.

Appearance

X'caizhen Tia is a 5'7" miqo'te Seeker of the Sun with a sturdy, muscular build. His skin is a tan, almost bronzed color with relatively few scars for a mercenary. One scar is across his face and a smaller is on his cheek, but it seems his propensity for heavy armor has saved him much else on his body. Zhen's eyes are a deep, dark purple which doesn't tend to stand out, and his hair, ears and tail are a chestnut red-brown with slightly sandy highlights.


He carries himself confidently and is generally either found wearing heavy armor or wearing baggy, comfortable clothing. One way or another, he is also almost never found without a club-headed ash staff, either strapped to his back or held and used as a walking stick. It is only when he is prepared to go on a mission that he might leave it behind.
