C'lhuya Atley is a 26 year old male Seeker of the Sun Miqo’te. He was born in the Coerthas Highlands after his barely pregnant mother, C'tahlya, got displaced and injured by a dragon during a hunt, and taken in and tended to by a local shepherd. After C'tahlya decided to stay and gave birth, he adopted C'lhuya as his own son and gave him his name.

Due to his Ishgardian and hermit-like upbringing, C'lhuya is a rather withdrawn, wary and individualistic young man who doesn't easily open up or lend a hand to strangers. He can be very blunt and no-nonsense, and will not spare anyone's feelings when sharing opinions.

Despite this, he is still a Seeker, and wanderlust won out despite his adoptive father's wariness of the world outside of their farm. He has since been wandering the world and the skies with his best friend, his chocobo T'chika.

Appearance

Hair & Eyes

C'lhuya's hair is naturally dark purple with brighter, more reddish highlights. He wears it relatively short and shaggy. His tail is long and bushy, of the same colour as his hair.

His eyes are a vivid turquoise green, and like his mother and the part of the tribe he hails from, he bears tattoos of the same colour on his face: rosettes at the outer corner of his eyes, three commas on the bridge of his nose, and one stripe on each side of his jaw.

As is typical of the Seekers of the Sun, his pupils are slits, even in the dark, and his night vision is only average.

Physique & Markings

C'lhuya is built solidly, though he isn't stocky. He bears himself straight, tall and proud. This bearing comes in part from his upbringing: as commoners and outsiders no less, his mom and he did everything they could to learn proper manners of their harassers, purely out of spite. Aside from that, his study of marksmanship led him to develop strong core muscles and arms, in parts to weather the recoil. His long chocobo rides also contributed to him learning to bear himself straight, as well as giving him strong thighs in addition.

While this can be advantageous, he also isn't the most flexible and supple, both physically and mentally. He doesn't really stretch much or exercise to gain flexibility on that front either. Flexibility-wise, he can nearly touch his toes when standing.

Hygiene & Attire

C'lhuya's casual attire

C'lhuya is a little uptight, and while he enjoys wandering, he does not appreciate dirtying himself without the proper gear. He is meticulous about his cleanliness and appearance both.

He often wears gear and clothes that are both simple and that he considers fancy. He likes dress shirts -- poofy or not -- pretty but functional jackets, the occasional sweater... He most often wears simple pants and sturdy thigh-boots, for protection and warmth both. He can also often be seen with suspenders and simple, finger-less gloves. He sometimes wears protective goggles and more sturdy gloves, depending on the activity. Jewelry-wise, he appreciates earrings and wrist-cuffs, but will not wear rings, and necklaces, chokers or collars will be rare. As he grew up in the colder --and drier at the time-- weather of the Coerthas, he sometimes wears some lip balm.

His preferred colours are purples (especially Lilac Purple), browns (Mole, Kobold, Loam), and some greys.

Personality

Psychological profile

C'lhuya is a withdrawn, solitary person who doesn't trust people easily and voices critics and comments with little care for hurting anyone's feeling. It's not that he thinks feelings are useless or unneeded, he does value them to some degree actually, but he doesn't believe in watering down truths to spare people's feelings. It's a harsh, unfair world out there, and he's had to more than enough deal with two-faced nobles and their dishonest way of speaking that he doesn't go out of his way to emulate them. He is, however, fully capable of doing so, and might do it when faced with that kind of people if only to spite them.

He grew up in his adoptive father's farm, with little friends aside from the chocobo and sheep they rose. A recluse childhood in the countryside, with his kind, but cynical, father teaching him how unkind life was for commoners and how to never trust strangers. His excursions to Ishgard with his mom only confirmed those views when faced with the disdain of the higher born elezens, especially with them being Miqo'te, an unusual sight. That mindset became very deeply ingrained with time, and even though instinctual wanderlust won out, he is still a recluse at heart.

While somewhat harsh and abrupt, even cold at times, he is not heartless. And while he doesn't easily lend a hand to help, he does have his own internal system of values and might work to help out in more indirect, general ways.

Relationships

Family

C'lhuya is a pureborn Seeker from the Coeurl tribe, but has never known his tribe, nor has he cared to so far. He was conceived from the union between C'tianan, the local Nunh at that time, and his mother C'tahlya. But he only recognises his adoptive father Hubert Atley as his actual father.

Mother: C'tahlya Mither

She is a tall-ish woman with bright blue eyes, dark purple hair, and a deep tan. A little clumsy in her youth, even as she matured she never quite managed to measure up to the other huntress. Often dead last in hunting competitions, he was never fully happy with her lot in the tribe, as hunting truly wasn't her call.

She was far more happier when she met Hubert and could stop hunting, instead exploring other interests of hers that she'd never had the opportunity to try out before or even discover. Nowadays she is most happy when curled close to a fire, weaving clothes out of their sheeps' wool and other fibers, and giving life to her creativity.

She never left Hubert's side, even though she sometimes misses her tribe-sisters, and the people of Ishgard often eye her when she scours the marketplace and sells their goods. She always welcomes her son's visits.

Biological father: C'tianan Nunh

Light brown hair, bright golden eyes that are nearly silver, with a tall build, C'tianan was the Nunh of his part of the tribe for some years. He and C'lhuya have never met each other.

Adoptive father: Hubert Atley

Hubert is a kind, gentle, midlander hyur with a big heart, who lost some of his family in the war against the dravanian. He is withdrawn, wary of strangers and of the world at large, in part because of his family's treatment as commoners by the elezen in Ishgard.

Before the calamity, his shepherd work was nice and relatively easy. He specialised he sheep and chocobo breeding, with some plants on the side. Ever since the climate change however, times have been more difficult. Plants had to be let go of, and they now work mostly with wool, meat, and sheep milk which they also make cheese out of.

He's been madly in love with C'tahlya ever since took her in after he saw the strange creature fall from the sky, dropped by a dragon in his fields. He accepted C'lhuya easily, raising him as his own son and teaching him just how harsh a world it was out there and how merciless people were.

Mounts and pets

T'chika

C'lhuya has few friends, if any, but his best friend of all time would be his faithful chocobo, T'chika, who he grew with together. He's known her since she was but an egg, and has been caring for her from the beginning.

She is a purple bird of average height, capable of flight due to her being a black-chocobo mixed breed. She is sweet and caring, but also packs a kick when needed.

RP info

RP limits and preferences

I am flexible and will RP virtually anything as long as it fits the character. I usually try to direct as little as possible and feel where he wants to go. As such, unexpected things may happen.

That being said, I will never force anyone into anything, so speak to me about your limits and triggers if you have any.

Plotting is love, so are random things. I don’t bite.

I will play Pretty much anything. Dark themes, light themes, angst, hurt comfort, calm stuff or adventure. I might even dabble in mature content if it takes that direction, but fair warning, it would take some building.

Ask about I’d rather be able to discuss it if our characters were to have a fight. I don’t mind him being injured, far from it, but it has to be fair. No godmodding.

I won't play . I’d rather avoid having him dying, or being permanently injured. Extreme kink are usually a no as well, but you’re free to ask. I won’t play pre-established relationships and cannot tell you yes if you ask for our characters to be romantic. That has to be built and will heavily depend on chemistry.

RP hooks

As I’m relatively new to MMO RP, I’d rather you send me a tell first, even if I have my RP tag on. I will however answer and play along without it if I’m in RP tag, but if you want more involvement on my part, OoC talking is the way to go.
