General ❧

Rather pale for a Seeker of the Sun, Y'sebe's fair skin was a result of keeping hidden in the Dravania's thick undergrowth of forests. Nor did it help that his white hair made him rather easy to spot among his fellow tribe mates along with a thick, spotted tail and ears, similar to rumored elusive snow felines of winter climates, and hardly of much use in forested terrain. While his Father is unknown there's been rumors it may have been a Keeper given his very non-Seeker like appearance. Y'sebe also is rather fussy about how he presents himself, taking care to be well groomed as all times not only for himself but for business as well.

His form is just as lithe as the next Seekers, having invested his time in Archery rather than any sort of melee combat finding it far more elegant both in aesthetic and ease. It was far easier to assess the situation from afar with precise shots than barbarically beat on one with a sword or axe.

Green eyes are almost always framed by a pair of glasses, not being able to see well more than a foot or so past his face. While unfortunate to his looks, in his opinion, he'd would rather not have an operation or alteration performed on them, having reservations about such techniques even if it made his dependence on glasses non-existent.

Clothing ❧

Y'sebe is usually seen wearing free flowing and light fabrics over heavier ones and armor. His usual style is various shades of blues and greys, often adorned head to tail in jewelry and precious gemstones. However when out and about in Ishgard, he can be seen donning a heavy, wool coats to protect him against the city's bitter climate.

Voice ❧

Years of traveling and living in Ishgard has caused him to suppress his Seeker accent, making his voice smooth and thick as honey that will sing praise for the right price. It's normally laced with confidence, although some would argue it's arrogance instead, but under certain circumstances he may slip into old habit's with rough, rolling 'R's.

Habits ❧

Grooms himself for long periods in the morning before leaving his residence for the day.
Will often touch his tail when nervous, anxious or stressed.

A charming Seeker who judges those by their gil and their manners, or lack there of.
Has a voice smooth like honey, yet the under tone is laced with a rather smug arrogance.
He has a strong distaste for water and cannot swim, often self grooming himself or using damp cloths.
Can be rather lazy most of the time, preferring to leisurely take things at his own pace when not accompanying one for the night. Working late means he's mostly nocturnal, preferring to sleep until late afternoon if he has no plans.
His curiosity is a blessing and a curse, often getting the Seeker a large sum of gil or into trouble.
Uses his silver tongue to get himself out of situations as when it comes to combat, his lithe form is no match for a more built opponent and relies on his natural agile Miqo'te reflexes and senses to aid in his flight.
Isn't afraid to bend the rules on occasion if it will benefit him.

Childhood ❧

Y'sebe was born into the Jaguar tribe buried deep in Dravania. His tribe while not afraid of the dragonkin, made sure to stay out of their way in the secluded wood where many dare not stretch their wings. He was trained in various hunting and trapping techniques, his love and skill with the bow a natural fit. However, his eye sight is rather poor and without his glasses the best he can see is a foot in front of his nose. Any further and the world becomes a blurry, distorted collage of shapes but his ears are sharp to compensate for it when they are not being worn. He also possesses a strong dislike for water as he hates the way it makes his fur feel and cannot swim. Being a rather curious one and unable to stand living in his isolated tribe and their stagnant traditions, Y'sebe decide to leave at the age of fifteen to travel the realm.

Teenage ❧

It wasn't easy when he left his tribe, being unaccustomed to social situations and other race's and city's etiquette. The first year was a rough adjustment period, stealing what he could to survive until he learned information overheard could get himself a meal that night. His accent too slowly faded into a more common tongue, the rolling'R's leaving his speech altogether. It wasn't until the age of eighteen that Y'sebe bumped onto a traveling Elezen bard, Ethos, at a tavern one evening in the Sea of Clouds and fell in love with his music. After much pestering and following after the other, the man agreed to teach him how to sing and perform. Ethos told him of Ishgard, the city frigid in both climate and people but boasting a wealthy economy and market trade. It was a hard parting but after having traveled the Dravania terrain, at the age of twenty one he made his way North to the isolated country in hopes of a rich and lavish lifestyle.

Present ❧

Y'sebe resides in Ishgard where under the guise of a humble bard that charms Ishgardian Elezen (and other unfortunate clients or those lucky enough to catch his fancy) out of their hard earned gil. While his escorting services aren't cheap, warming one's bed for the night could make even a shy man demand a raise as he looks forlorn at his wallet.

COMMON RUMORS (easy to overhear) ♦ "That's that odd Miqo'te who stays with those frigid Elezen up North yeah?" ♦ "I saw him perform at the tavern a few weeks back, and what a voice he has." ♦ "I wonder what he looks like without those glasses on. Maybe he wears them just for show like all that jewelry?."	MODERATE RUMORS (moderately difficult to overhear) ♦ "I wouldn't trust that one. Rumour has it he knows many secrets and loose lips around him is bad news" ♦ "I heard he 'sings' a different tune if you've got the gil."
RARE RUMORS (very difficult or rarely overheard) ♦ "Rumor has it he's been seen on the Head of House Durendaire son's arm quite a few times. And we all know how well off they are..." ♦ "I heard there's a special reason he's so sought after, but it seems none will speak of it for fear of a blacklist. I wonder what makes that annoying Miqo'te so special?"	PC RUMORS (rumors from the characters of other players) ♦ "Y'sebe is a delight and a joy. If you're stupid enough to only appreciate him superficially, then you are truly missing out on where his true talents lie." Vado Mercier ♦ "--." --

♥ Romantic Interest ♡ Platonic Love ▲ Good Standing ▼ Poor Standing

Xihk'li Ahjula ▲ A Keeper Y'sebe met by chance one evening and has decided to make it his goal to help the other relax by any means necessary. Even if it means sprawling himself out over the older Miqo'te's stacks of untranslated documents he had been drowning himself in for three day straight and refusing to budge until attention was given.

■ Everything in history tab is to be kept in OOC, unless my character states it IC. His "information broker" occupation is also OOC unless stated otherwise. As well as Y'sebe being FtM. Male pronouns please and if there's any question please don't be afraid to inquire about him.

■ Currently seeking long term RP partners and contacts for all sorts of plots and (mis)adventures.

■ I will play mature content and themes (violence, sexuality, drug / alcohol use, dubious consent, blackmail. kidnapping, ect) as long as they're logical in a plot-driven encounter. Coarse and excessive language. Temporary injury and incapacitation. Temporary imprisonment.

■ Most walk-up encounters are alright though I prefer IC/OOC tells first. All types of RP welcomed be it short term or long term plotting. Hooks include anything relating to the black market/underground, information brokering (stealing ledgers, getting gossip, ect), Luxurious clothing and jewelry, private settings and (mis)adventures. Y'sebe is looking currently to find someone or someway to change himself back into a Miqo'te. I'm okay with setting up a pre-established relationship with your character! Message me and we can work something out be they friends or bitter enemies.
