General
Zetoh'a Velshado, nicknamed Zeto, is a Moonkeeper Miqo'te originally hailing from the Shroud but residing in the Hingashi region, in Kugane.
A a young age, he had been taken in by the Hayashi family who found him alone in the Shroud at a very young age, and thus, was taken back to the East and he had remained there ever since. Becoming a squire to the family, he tended to their needs with utmost dedication. His servitude was never forced but he felt that he owed them that much. Over the years, he also took up swordsmanship and became a samurai, carefully taught under the watchful eye of the family.
Recently, he has traveled back to Eorzea after the long absence, yearning to learn of his culture and possibly find his long lost family; potentially happiness.
He is known by all to be a very kind fellow, always with a nice thing to say and can easily engage in conversation with anyone due to his very charming nature. Curious and very knowledgeable, he likes to indulge in smart conversations. He values family and friendship over all else, and will gladly do anything for his loved ones.
Personality
A man with a heart of gold, he would do anything for his nation as well as his family and loved ones.
He believes that there is inner beauty in every person, even if it isn’t outwardly apparent. Zetoh'a has a kind and gentle heart, but is easily excitable with an idealistic nature. Compassionate, dedicated and faithful, he is very attentive to those around him and he yearns to put a smile on the face of everyone. He puts the needs of others before his own, however, that is not to say he neglects himself. He is very loyal to his friends as well as his beliefs, which may make him appear stubborn but he tries to remain open-minded as long as people present him valid points and references. Honest but gentle in his words, he still tries to make his point come across without appearing rude or inconsiderate, taking into account his companions. Zetoh'a is a charming man and he has no troubles gaining the attention of the opposite gender, but he never appeared interested in any women and remained humble. Being gentleman, he would often refuse direct advances, ideally trying to explain in an amiable manner that he had no interest in dating. While it pained him to see the fair ladies hurt, he still stood his ground. He approaches everyone equally, and never treated any person better than the other, the same when it came to women.
He has a penchant for knowledge, and believes everyone has a story to tell. Curious and genuinely interested in tales as well as folklore, he gladly listens to people he passes or meets, wanting to know more of them as well as their stories. While a persons past may define up to a certain point, he wants to believe that in the end, each person is in charge fully of their destiny.
Despite his scrupulous and orderly, he can be jovial and very talkative, even funny. He enjoys to tease some of the youngsters he crosses as well as joking when having a drink or two with friends. A perfect balance in life is required to lead a healthy lifestyle and he gladly fulfills that duty. He does not allow his carefree nature to show with random people but when he gets to know someone closer, he has no quarrels in showing his playful nature.
Appearance
Being a Moonkeeper, he has round pupils; piercing big eyes with a gorgeous silvery-blue hue. Sharp fangs past his lips which often sport a gorgeous smile. He has neck-length snowy-white hair, usually kept ruffled up and down but when eating or engaged in manual activities, he will often tie it up into a bun to keep it out of his face. He has thick white facial hair, contouring his entire jawline. Upon his forehead, a black teardrop tattoo can be witnessed which is always revealed, as he makes certain not to cover it with his fringe. His skin tone is on the darker side,a mix of dark gray with the tiniest hint of blue. Zetoh'a is very good looking and it is plain to see. While he may be aware of this asset, he pays little attention to it as he prefers people to see him as a normal and simple man.
He is a tall man with a slender but very fit build; broad shoulder and a well toned chest. It is evident that he takes good care of himself to remain healthy, both exercise-wise as well as dieting. He is not buff but rather elegant despite his muscles.
Being from the East, his attire of choice is Eastern-styled, however, he can be seen wearing Western clothing during his stay in Eorzea, slowly adapting to the culture. On a regular day, he would wear a haori or a kimono, usually in grey or black tones as they are his favourite colours. His all time favourite attire however is a simple white Eastern shirt accompanied with his adored black trench coat. Often also sporting a small black fedora hat with a set of black shades upon his nose, as he finds the Thanalan sun much too strong for his eyes. When trying to adapt to the locals, he wears a simple black shirt with a semi-open chest.
Occupation
Zetoh'a started off as a squire, or a servant, to the Hayashi family. While it was not a forced servitude, he felt he owed it to them and he did his utmost to please them. He tended to their every need from taking care of their paperwork to even assisting them while hunting out. He would spend a lot of time in the stables caring for their horses. Over years, he bonded closely with their children whom he'd often babysit and he would witness them grow, while at the same time often assisting them with their homework and basic needs. Despite being a servant to the household, the family made sure he was well educated and they home-schooled him together with their children.
Over the years, he proved to be a very dedicated and loyal subject and his Master treated him like his own son. Caring for the man, he enlisted him to study the art of samurai sword-fighting, deeming it would benefit him as well as give him a future profession once he would decide to leave the family. Hence, Zetoh'a became a most accomplished samurai, excelling with ease as he truly had a knack for it. After his studies, he returned to the household and served as a personal guard to his Master instead of a simple squire.
Recent events had him return to Eorzea where he currently isn't working but he is considering taking up some simple mercenary tasks once his money would be depleted. Fr the time being, he is jobless and merely travelling.

Acquaintances
Viera originating from the Golmore Forest but some events made her come to Eorzea. While different, the two seemed to get along swimmingly as they both were outsiders and new to the land. She was most cordial and kind to him which he immediately took a liking to. They shared opinions on life as well as cultures, exposing how similar Viera was to Moonkeepers. They two are currently sharing sleeping space in the communal rooms of the Astral Crusaders establishment, often engaging in late night talks before passing out.
He met Helga at the same time as Lynn, as the two woman were at the Astral Crusaders together. Quickly he learned that she was blind but it did not seem to stop her, which he admired in her. A monk, most likely originating from Ala Mhigo, but she wasn't certain of her origins. The two got to talk more over the next few days and Zetoh'a quite enjoyed the exchange as they did find a lot of common ground.
