X'shuyet Etki ( Pronunciation: Shee-shuu-yet Et-key), formerly known as Rhuaza Kasa, is a conflicted young woman living between two worlds; a Keeper of the Moon navigating a Seeker of the Sun culture. The nunh of Rhino took her in when she was only a babe, and raised her as his daughter for plenty cycles. Her childhood behavioral issues arose after realizing her contrast with her adoptive family. She has lead a very violent, independent life, beginning with picking frequent fights as a girl, fleeing to the city at a young age, to then turn to bounty hunting as a means for quick gil. Shuyet comes off bitter, stuck up, and stuborn most times, but only because she's unsure of herself. She struggles with confidence and trust, and quickly hides behind violence and her quick temper.
In the misfortunate event of The Rhino tribe being destroyed, X'shuyet had already departed a year prior. The news could only break her so much. Regret over her selfish ways festered in her heart during her mourning. Seeing it for herself left a lasting mental scar, while the emotional trauma stained her soul. With this burden, she went on living alone. Taking lives for scrap pay and feeling as though she, too, was dead. X'shuyet evolved into a clean cut dagger in her young adulthood. Her temper was harmful, and so too was the way she respected her life.
Her story shifted in her mid-twenties. She made the leap to readjust to tribal life with a new family, with new ways. At present, Shuyet is treasuring her second chance to the best of her ability. As a Rhino, she made a vow to honor them for the rest of her suns through their language, dance, and markings. As a Specter, she allowed her body and soul to be tethered to The Burning Lady, Azeyma. She lives a rather devoted, religious life as a huntress and warrior.
Shuyet switches between allowing her fine, silky hair to overgrow, or taming it short. There's no clear merit as to why she carelessly grooms her thick, jet black hair the way she does. If it's not messy and over her shoulders, then her bed head is before the neck. Unless the occassion is formal, she's almost never seen without some sort of tangle or wave.
Without fail, if her gaze lands on you, you'll notice her odd eyes. A kind, warm pink claims the left eye, while a peaceful, brilliant green has the other. Her messy bangs lazily drape over her eyes---or typically her left, if she decides to brush it out the way. The woman typically wears an annoyed, outwardly jaded expression. X'shuyet's soft, feminine face fool most into thinking her mannerism is graceful and polite. She counters this by adopting masculine fashion and carrying weapons openly at all times. This, in turn, gives her a specific charm; mysterious and dangerous.
Because Shu is 5 films, and moderately built. She's not shy in flaunting her smooth muscles and hazelnut skin. She eats regularly, but just enough to become full and well-rested. Shuyet's form is one of a young, fit woman. No defining curves or bust. Without a doubt, after being initiated into the tribe, she altered her wardrobe to better look her part. Her clothing is either tightly fit, with just enough freedom in the joints of the clothes to leave her agility unaffected. Or she's in black robes, organized and sharp from the neck down.
FACE CLAIM : Undecided; References Place Holder.
VOICE CLAIM : Undecided.
SCARRING : The young woman has only a few scars painted onto her skin. Most importantly, she has sacred soulgem fragments burned into both wrists. Yet another to note is a thin scar running from her ankle to her kneecap. Then to her least noticeable being the faded bruises and cuts on her knuckles. Additional cuts pepper her fingers and palms.
MARKINGS : X'shuyet has three key markings on her person. Two on her face, while the other stays hidden on her ankle.
- Warrior Stripe . . . After she was accepted into the DUne Specter tribe, she was branded as one of Azeyma's warriors and huntresses. To display her status, she smears a mixture of black ochres, lemon balm, and lavender beginning at either temple, to her eyes, then the bridge of her nose.
- Mark of Rhino . . . To honor her previous tribe, Shuyet dips her pinky finger into dark smear, and dashes the painted pad of her digit above her warrior stripe. It appears as a small Rhino horn. As the last of her people, she wears this out of respect and mourning.
- Sisters of Gold . . . On her ankle, this mark is hidden under thick gauze. It's a common symbol worn by a servant girl, (better known as courtesan) that were not of age. This typically meant they were not allowed to be touched, and could only be dancers. It was a time Shu would rather forget, and often doesn't speak about. She stayed in a harem home for a cycle after she ran away from her tribe, as she didn't have any other place to go.
Persistent. Hot-headed. Devoted. Shuyet is a woman of common sense and pride, most of her decisions are hardly ever made from whims. This applies to trusting when faced with new people, also. She experiences a moment of insecurity and reluctance until a bond is made overtime. As a friend, she's determined to bend over backwards to meet their needs, often forgetting her own.
X'shuyet is noticeably quiet and collected. Very rarely will the woman open her mouth unless it's something of importance or an insult. She prefers to observe and analyze people before engaging...when she's calm. Her anger makes her reckless, arrogant, and brutal. Without hesitation, her childishness will push her to use her strength irresponsibly, whether it be for saving a comrade or petty revenge. Her close combat expertise--though something she's not proud of, comes from having frequent fights in her adoptive tribe. Granted, she fought without form or purpose. Her behavior was nothing more than a child finding an outlet. Nevertheless, she took these basic skills and converted them into a channeled talent as a pugilist in her late teens.
The older she becomes, the less rampant her emotions are. She has better control over them with practice and patience, however, her temper is still something she continuously works on. She's a shy, unsure woman underneath the beaten and bruised surface. Time has taught her to thicken her skin and sharpen her tongue. Occasionally, her sweeter side will reveal itself to those she cares about.
- PLUM WINE : Every. Damns. Time. Shu will always order this drink if it isn't water. Her deep, borderline obsessive fondness for this drink is hardwired, and she isn't open to share why.
- BUTTERFLIES : Graceful, light-weighted, and colorful. X'shuyet collected as many as she could as a kit, but sadly had to part with them when she moved to Ul'dah. She has never truly grown out of her affection for these insects.
- SINGING : A hobby that, was scorned at a young age, that turned into a beloved skill of hers. She uses her voice during any mood, be it to uplift her sorrows or to match her bubbly mood.
- HOT WEATHER : An unintentional reminder of her home tribe and her youth. She enjoys the sweat and unbearable humidity that comes with this climate.
- STARES : No one's eyes should be lingering on her. She takes it as an aggressive, judging body language, and it temps her to show caution--or worse--aggression.
- WEAKNESS : In both her tribes, weakness is looked down upon, and in some cases, punished. She grew up learning that endurance and fearlessness would keep you alive. Anyone accept their shortcomings are seen as a waste of time in Shuyet's eyes.
- STRONG LIQOUR : In the words of Shuyet, herself: 'I'd rather drink for the taste, than the effects. Why in Gods' names would I drink piss?'
- GOSSIP : She'll easily turn a deaf ear. Socializing is hard enough for Shu, but engaging in the 'who-did-what-to-who' conversations is utterly boring to her, and she'll likely admit it.
- CRITICISM : Self-reflection is her worst enemy. As childish as it is, her pride is too high to want to sit through it.
- MOTIVATED : When She has her mindset, she'll dive at any opportunity to make it come true. Even if that means paving an entirely different path. The woman has the will of an ox. It'll take a lot to make her give up on what she cares about.
- STREET SMART : X'shuyet has navigated the streets of Ul'dah for most her cycles. Running into criminals and scammers became a habitual occurrence, and even taught her a thing or two about interacting with city-folk.
- KIND-HEARTED : More than she's willing to admit, Shuyet cares for the people she invests her faith into. She has only the purest intention when face to face with a loved one. The Huntress will wear her heart on her sleeve for them, and them alone.
- LOYAL : If she owes someone, she pays it in full. If she gives her word, she'll remember it better than they did. If she does someone she respects wrong, she'll very well give them to option to hurt her in return, or worse, take her life. She is very funny when it comes to pride; nothing can ever be simple.
- COMBAT : Fighting is a strength that is, oddly enough, something that she finds distasteful as a sport. She's not thrilled by her home-taught skills with her fists or daggers. Not even achery, which she's been picking up as of late. Sparring, though something she's very proficient at, is an activity favored as a means to flaunt her skill or honor an opponent.
- AETHERIC MANIPULATION : She can't use magic or manipulate aether affectively compared to others. At the most, she can only mend wounds through song...and expect a bloody nose and nausea to quickly follow.
- MORBID : She has a very offsetting quirk to her personality. This means she finds it difficult to socialize with people around her age-range. She's a woman thoroughly toughened by life, and therefor lacks the ability to offer a bright sense or humor.
- TEMPERAMENTAL : Ever since she was a girl, her spirit has been uncontrollable. She picked frequent fights with her brothers and sisters almost daily. It only became worse as she grew older, as she now needs to completely focus on calming her passionate youth. Every now and then, her temper gets the best of her, resulting in an often cruel and relentless backlash.
- HABITS : Smoking, drinking, and stubborn ways. Shuyet has an addictive personality on default. It'll take time and development to pull her away from harmful habits.
- TRUAMA : The cause of her lack of sleep is because of her dreams. Night terrors will typically repeat the day she discovered her destroyed tribe and their corpses. This scar stuck with her since then, and affects how she views death.
- LOVE : As cliche as it is, Shuyet accepts that a lifelong commitment is not, and never will be, for her. She fears expecting someone to accept her, rather than having her heart broken.
- FAVORITE FOOD : Quick, easy, and dry. Glazed-nuts are right up her alley. Admittedly, this has been a favored treat since she was a kit.
- FAVORITE DRINK : Plum wine is such a temptation that X'shuyet's never been able to refuse.
- FAVORITE COLOR : Pink, even if she'll never wear it. The color reminds her of flowers.
- FAVORITE ANIMAL : Rinoceroses; her old tribe's totem. She admires their loyality and endurance. She values the beast's horn and even wears a mark on her forehead that resembles it.

Jaliqai was trained in a number of different hunting and combative skills, typical of a Qulaani child expected to one day grow into a strong and proud hunter. Her early training lessons focused mainly on two types of weaponry: the greatsword and the longbow. Qulaani tradition tends to favor weapons with longer ranges -- those that keep their wielders well out range of would-be quarry's claws and jaws.
Only in her later years, when Jaliqai began to learn that her specialty lie more in the tracking and hunting of people rather than beasts, did she begin to take up knives and daggers. While the greatsword is great against large beasts, she found the maneuverability and versatility -- not to mention the ease of concealment -- of smaller blades to better suit the hunting of man. This was a skill largely picked up during her early days as a Bounty Hunter in Othard and honed over the years since. Now, daggers tend to be her most favored melee combat weapons.
She also has some moderate training in hand-to-hand combat. While she's not trained in any sort of formal bare-handed martial art, the basics of handling oneself when disarmed is also part of a well-rounded Qulaani combat education. Rather than relying on pure physical strength or aetherically-enhanced techniques, Jaliqai's unarmed style focuses on being quick, hitting strategic locations, and not getting hit, herself.
Nowadays, with her hunting of beasts becoming increasingly infrequent, her proficiency with a greatsword has been lagging behind her knifework and archery. She usually prefers now to pick up a bow and fight from a distance, or using blades and her natural quickness and dexterity to try and end fights before they really have a chance to begin -- especially against larger or more capable opponents. If all else fails, she tries to fall back on her quickness and evasion, wearing an opponent down little by little to make taking them down easier.
But of course, capable as she is, she also has a number of weaknesses, the most notable of which being her relatively low aetheric defense. Jaliqai, like most Qulaani, carries a genetic trait that not only makes her unable to manipulate aether, but also highly susceptible to aetheric attacks. Even aetheric healing leaves Jaliqai quite sick and/or greatly drained of energy more often than not, her body simply unable to cope with the influence of foreign aether upon it.

Yesugei was a kind and caring father, providing to Jaliqai the loving familial closeness that was largely missing in her relationship with her mother. Ever calm and patient, he weathered his mate's -- and his daughter's -- quick tempers for years without complaint. Yet despite what some might have interpreted as complacency or weakness, he was a strong man, capable hunter, and an exceptional tracker. Yesugei taught Jaliqai everything she knows about figuring people out, first as a way to cope with her childhood bullying woes and then as an asset to the Qulaan tribe. Jaliqai assumes that he was killed in the Qulaani's ill-fated attack on the Garlean encampment.
Where Jaliqai was exceptionally close to her father, Sechen had been distant and cold towards her ever since she was but a small child. That distance felt so much like abandonment and contempt, and it bred no shortage of resentment in Jaliqai's heart for the woman over the years. Genuine moments of softness and caring from the tiger-like woman were few, far between, and fleeting. Jaliqai never had a chance to learn the truth behind her mother's distance before the attack on the Garleans robbed her of the chance, or so she assumes.
Maqali was born to her mother when Jaliqai herself was twenty years old herself, a miracle blessing upon her parents when Jaliqai herself was struggling with her inability to give Nasyamar a family. After the Qulaani attacked the Garleans, Maqali was taken with the survivors back to Garlemald and raised among them. It was only within the past year that Jaliqai reconnected with her sister and learned of the truth, and even more recently that the girl has once again become lost to her. Jaliqai assumes she's been spirited away back to her kidnappers' homeland, which gives her no insignificant amount of uneasiness.
Jaliqai was raised alongside her younger cousin, the two children rather close until a competitive rift began to form between them in their teenage years. That rift led to endless taunting and teasing exchanged between them, which continues now even after almost a decade of having been separated. Despite their bickering and fighting, Jaliqai is exceptionally protective of her cousin -- who is now also her leader as a Qulaan. Anyone who would dare to lay a hand on Saraghul in Jaliqai's presence very much runs the risk of losing that hand.
Qadan was first a member of Jaliqai's Gold & Glory Hunter's Guild, who gradually came to become Saraghul's hunting mate. The Hotgo has an innate talent for finding ways to get directly under Jaliqai's skin with his quips and taunts, especially with their tendency to go too far. She might want to smack him most of the time, but overall, Jaliqai likes him well enough. He's good with an axe and he makes Saraghul happy, at least. She'll probably reconsider it when either of those things stop being true.
Nasyamar is Saraghul's half-brother by another mother, and someone that Jaliqai was not terribly close to growing up. However, upon his Coming of Age, tribal leaders saw fit to pair him for life with Jaliqai. Over the next years, she tried to develop feelings for him and to do her duty by giving him a family, and her inability to do so was the source of much friction. They were separated when the attack on the Garleans happened and reunited years later. Yet all that time had not allowed her to love him any deeper, and in the end she chose another. He's since set to wandering, and Jaliqai is unsure if he'll ever return. Maybe it's for the best. He's better off without her.
Jaliqai's initial rough start with Altai gradually and surprisingly grew unexpectedly into a love that caused the both of them no small share of guilt and problem. When it finally seemed as if things would be resolved, that Altai would join the Qulaan tribe so that they could be together, he left on a hunt and never returned home. Jaliqai blames herself deeply for his disappearance and the loss of the family they would have been starting together upon his return, but has since buried those feeling very deep that they might never surface again.
Rawkin has not only quickly become a regular face at the Bountiful Chest, but also a good friend to Jaliqai besides. She greatly enjoys the blacksmith's company, whether their time together is spent teaching him Xaelan, exchanging playful flirtations, or confiding in one another.
Oh, Rhoswyn.. The half-lander woman started out as just another bartender behind the counter at the Chest, only to become the place's veritable mascot. Despite her various antics and misadventures, and her penchant to assign her extra dish duty whenever she can, Jaliqai quite likes Rhos in all her crass and crude glory.
The classy, refined merchant noble and the rough-talking foreign bounty huntress make for an unlikely pair, but a surprisingly cohesive one. Despite their differing cultures and backgrounds, they've found no shortage of common ground between them and an outlet for all the things that cannot be let out elsewhere. They're close friends first and foremost, business partners secondly, and occasional lovers besides. But neither holds too tightly to the other, content to come and go freely and allow the other to do the same.

- ■ I will play . . . Mature and/or dark content and themes (violence, sexuality, drug / alcohol use). Occasional erotic themes for the purpose of developing characters and interactions / relationships. Coarse and explicit language. Injury and incapacitation.
- ■ Ask before . . . Long-term and/or permanent injury and disfigurement. Captivity or imprisonment, either long or short term.
- ■ I won't play . . . Permanent character death. Non-continuity / oneshot ERP with little to no merit for character development.
- ■ I can't offer you daily or near-daily RP. I'm the leader of a medium-sized and highly active FC, in addition to my real life and work obligations. My schedule is very busy. Chances are very high that I won't be able to RP with you individually more than a 1-3 times a week.
- ■ My schedule also means that I generally can't offer you spontaneous RP at the drop of a hat. Sometimes it works out that I can, but it's generally an exception to the rule. The best way to make sure we have the opportunity to RP regularly is to plan ahead for it, at least a day in advance. That gives me time to adjust my schedule and make time for you best.
- ■ There are multiple people that I roleplay with. If you are easily made jealous OOCly by the prospect of me RPing with someone else or having to politely decline your offer for RP sometimes because I have promised someone else RP, then I am not the partner for you.
- ■ That said, I may be roleplaying with someone you personally dislike. Feel free to mention it to me so that I can avoid putting you two in a situation where you have to interact. But I don't want to know all your drama, dirty laundry, or sordid history with this person. And absolutely do not try to police who I choose to RP with, please.
