⚔ Dail'a Naras ⚔ ♫"I wanna eat the whole cake. I'm not sharin'."♫ ♫"I'm not sharin'. You should've learned how to bake!"♫ [edit] Details Personality Background Combat Relationships Rumours Gallery Music OOC ಌ GENERAL INFORMATION ಌ Dail'a is an asshole, for the most part. That's really all there is to it. He's a smart-assed, sarcastic, incredibly anti-authority Keeper male who answers to no one but himself and the consequences of his own actions... and sometimes not even that. However, he certainly means well despite his typical attitude and does his very best to be what he thinks of as a "hero type," though he is generally not against completely shrugging things off when he doesn't like how they're presented to him. He loves to fight, especially with blades or bombs, and the only thing matching his love for combat is his intense love for food. "'S all good; I ain't worried 'bout nothin'." "Eh, whatever, mate." "Oy, fuck off. I do what I want." "[string of expletives]" ಌ APPEARANCE ಌ Dail'a is tall, for a Miqo'te, and fairly well-built, though somewhat lanky. His ears and tail are, in the spirit of the young man's stringy appearance, also rather long, though his tail is quite bushy as well. His hair, the fur of his ears and his tail are a bright blond with some silver showing through - however, whether his true hair colour is blonde or silver is hard to say, as it's all very sporadic. His hair is long and seems rather well-kept, though he frequently would attest that he does absolutely nothing with it aside from basic hygiene. He has piercing, icy blue eyes with the typical dilated pupils of a Keeper of the Moon, lending to a sensitivity to light, and his skin is also a very pale, almost grey, tone. He is covered from head to toe in tattoos and war paint, and though most of what is on his face amount to tribal markings, a good deal of it is extraneous for aesthetic only. Despite this, he has no piercings of which to speak that would otherwise compliment the excessive markings. Dail'a wears loose-fitting, dark clothing most of the time, and always carries around a pair of black sunglasses to help his aversion to bright light (including sunlight). He is, all the same, no stranger to armour. His armour often comes in the same shades of black or grey, and he frequently carries at least one bladed weapon at all times, be it a dagger, longsword, or greatsword - sometimes, all three are present. Aspects That Stand Out: ■ Always wears sunglasses in daylight. ■ Covered from head to toe in tribal tattoos. ■ Carries a multitude of different kinds of blades. ಌ PERSONALITY ಌ Despite the almost-constant severe expression on his face, Dail'a is incredibly casual and easy-going - oftentimes, far too much so. He detests formality of any kind with anyone (which may explain his having left his original tribe for adventuring), and often does not show any respect unless it is shown first to him. He tries not to let anything bother him, but he often fails, showing that he is possessed of a very quick and volatile temper. Though he will "explode" and engage in outbursts of yelling and ranting, he rarely gets violent in his anger unless he must, preferring to "let it all out, rather than bottling it up." However, he is more likely to be jovial, cracking jokes and in general, being a goofball, most often to the point of aggravating people. He is possessed of a kind heart, though, and will often go out of his way help those in need, should they truly need it, even if sometimes at detriment to himself. He is incredibly confident in his abilities, and takes most everything in stride, both wins and losses, ever striving not to be a winner or loser, but just to be what he views as a "good person", all in all. L I K E S ■ Fighting. Dail'a is always up for a good fight. ■ Swords. Is it sharp? Can he swing it? Perfect. ■ Explosives. Everything's more fun when it goes boom. ■ Helping Out. Dail'a is a self-proclaimed "big damn hero" and loves helping people in need. ■ Food. Dail'a loves food. ■ FOOD. No, really. He LOVES food. ■ Smartassery. If sarcasm were a language, he'd be fluent. D I S L I K E S ■ Authority. Dail'a is classically anti-authority, ever a "free spirit," as it were. ■ Taking Orders. No one is the boss of him. Suggestions are welcome, but Dail'a hates being given no freedom of choice. ■ Party-Poopers. Don't be a stick in the mud! Dail'a always out for a good time and hates when that is ruined. ■ Bright Light. Even being a Keeper of the Moon, he is hyper-photosensitive. ■ Hunger. Being hungry sucks. It means Dail'a has gone without food, and he gets downright hangry. ■ Boredom. Dail'a requires constant stimulation. If bored, he tends to get into trouble... or starts it. H O B B I E S ■ Fighting. Dail'a is constantly looking to improve his martial prowess and skill-at-arms. ■ Eating. He eats like a goobbue, but with his level of hyperactivity, it's at least partially understandable. ■ Jokes. Dail'a loves all manner of humour, practical jokes and pranks above all else. S T R E N G T H S ■ Born Fighter. If there's anything Dail'a excels in, it's fighting, and he makes sure he's always ready for one. ■ Ferocity. Dail'a is incredibly passionate, both in combat and outside. Anything that catches his interest gains his full attention to whatever he deems "completion" or until it drifts to something else. ■ Heart of Good. Despite his attitude, Dail'a just wants the good people of the world to be happy and come out on top over the wicked. W E A K N E S S E S ■ Magic. Dail'a is neither skilled in the use of, or defense against, most kinds of magic, favouring the "hit it 'til it stop moving" approach. ■ Photosensitive. Dail'a is incredibly sensitive to bright lights and is frequently dazzled or even temporarily blinded by bright flashes or the sun if not prepared. ■ Attention Deficit. Dail'a's attention drifts quite frequently. If he's not currently engrossed in a given thing, he's likely ignoring it, or hasn't noticed. M O T I V A T I O N S ■ Big Damn Hero - Dail'a wants to be a hero, doing good for the innocent and good-hearted, and smiting the wicked. ■ Fun - No matter any reason he has for doing anything, if it doesn't seem fun, he likely won't do it. Everything is does is to have fun.

Feel free to use these as RP hooks or reasons to approach him! ■ Lorem ipsum go fuck yourself ಌ TIMELINE ಌ This information may or may not be known. If you're not sure, feel free to ask! Stuff and Things Oh shit. Words go here. ಌ Technique/Weapons ಌ In combat, Dail'a is just as ferocious without weapons as he is with blades. Oftentimes, he will hack wildly at his enemies, swinging whatever weapon he has with wild abandon. He is often completely unpredictable, as he follows no real "pattern" or "style;" he simply rushes in headlong and begins attacking like a lunatic for the most part, though it is not entirely without rhyme or reason. He is not entirely as crazed when engaged as his typical combat demeanour would suggest, as when the situation calls for a more controlled approach, he seems to be able to command himself well. It seems more that the berserker approach is his preferred method of dealing with a threat, likely finding it more "fun." ✦ Blade "Master": Dail'a uses any and all kinds of blades and sharp objects to swing around in acrobatic and dazzling displays of speed and ferocity in battle, often overwhelming foes with force and repeated strikes while dancing away from oncoming blows. Weapons: ■One-Handed Short/Longswords - Dail'a go-to weaponry. He foregoes shields in favour of an open hand to support tricks and acrobatics in combat. ■ Daggers - Both for throwing and for close-quarters, Dail'a keeps a wealth of knives and daggers hidden on his person when he wants to keep enemies away or get truly up close and personal. ■ Greatsword - While not used as frequently, Dail'a favours the greatsword for delivering overwhelming force and immensely powerful strikes. ■ Grenades - Though he heavily favours blades, in times of need, Dail'a keeps some rudimentary explosives on his person ranging from shrapnel to flashpowder to catch opponents off guard or get himself out of a bind. ✦ Feral Fighter: Dail'a skill with blades isn't his only skill, of course. Even when unarmed, he is undaunted, adopting the style of a feral berserker, using tooth and claw to his advantage. Styles: ■ Tooth and Claw - Dail'a is not averse to using his own natural defenses, and will rip and tear at adversaries like a wild animal. ■ Brawler - Dail'a has gotten in enough scraps to know how to hold his own with just fists and feet, and isn't beyond savagely beating down an opponent. ■ Acrobatics - If outmatched, Dail'a will rely on his acrobatics to tire out an opponent before getting in to take advantage of whatever he can. ಌ OOC Combat Info ಌ I am generally open to any and all combat situations, but prefer that limits are established or understood beforehand - otherwise, I am open to very nearly anything but character perma-death! I am willing to engage in just about any system so long as it is explained to me and I have time to understand it. ■ Tier 1 Combat: This system is my preferred method, and uses detailed posts to explain actions that are being placed in combat. It uses a roll system which the person playing the attack will roll and the defender will need to roll higher to defend. Critical hits are welcomed in this system and often are considered if the difference between rolls are over 700 (using ingame /random rolls). Explanation swiped from Abagail Graves along with her layout. ■ Designated Personal Systems: Everyone has their own system for group combat RP which they themselves made or they made for their Free Company. I am open to discovering, learning, and uses all kinds! ■ Freeform/Honour System: I am not a fan of the honour system unless it is established and agreed upon as to who will win the fight beforehand on an OOC basis and there is a mutual trust on the same level. I will not often do this with strangers for any reason. RELATIONSHIP STATUS LEGEND ♥ Family – ♥ Involved – ♥ Romantic – ♥ Platonic – ♥ Physical – ♦ Friend – ★ Acquaintance – $ Business – ✝ Deceased – ✔ Positive – ✖ Negative – ● Neutral – � Unsure R'kalya Vheo ( ✔♥♥ ) Character's Thoughts: "Lil' bit awkward, but 'at only makes 'er even cuter. Can't think o' no one I like spendin' time with more." Dail'a first encountered R'kalya while searching for Jadoth to pursue a bounty, and to attempt to give Jadoth a way out if he proved innocent in intention. They have spoken multiple times, and each time, Dail'a subtly, but relentlessly flirted with her, partially for the reaction, but partly because he had a legitimate interest. His attention paid off, and he considers himself incredibly lucky to have met her. He feels almost indebted to Jadoth for their meeting. Jadoth Bloodreign. ( ✔♦) Character's Thoughts: "There's massive potential in the kid, but... he's got confidence problems. Can't blame'im what with'is lot." Dail'a met Jadoth while hunting for the selfsame miqo'te, not a day after speaking with R'kalya about him. He was cold and mistrusting of Dail'a at first, but they've been forging a tenuous bond through Dail's selfless wish to help him, and through participating together in events like the Grindstone. Jadoth actually reminds Dail'a of himself when younger, so he wishes even more to see the miqo'te rise above his hardships. Gandrae Naras ( ✔♥) Character's Thoughts: "Wise beyond'er years. Ain't a wonder she leads the ol' tribe now." Gandrae is Dail'a's eldest sister. Though his elder by only a scant few years, she is incredibly wise and patient, with a deep connection with elements. She teaches the Naras tribe's conjurers and chirurgeons their arts and guides the tribe as its matriarch - the youngest in nearly twenty years. Dail'a and Gandrae have always been incredibly close, and on more than one occasion, Gandrae has seen to providing succor for her reckless younger brother, going as far as mending the bridges once through totally burnt in his departure. Despite this, Dail'a still avoids his family, preferring to remain on his own, likely due to his nigh-self-destructive sense of independence and authority issues. Cetah Naras ( ✔♥) Character's Thoughts: "Impressionable to a fault, but she's got talent and an'eart six times bigger'n most." Cetah is one of Dail'a's younger sisters. They have only seen one another once or twice since before the Calamity, and only briefly at that. However, they share a bond nearly matching that between him and their eldest sister. Dail'a is somewhat protective of Cetah, worrying about her drive to do good clouding her judgement and making her naive, but he refuses to talk about it. So long as she stays under Gandrae's tutelage and with their tribe, he knows that she is safe. Aiouxdaux Beaumont. (✔♦ ) Character's Thoughts: "Charmin' bugger. Even be'er with a pair o'stabbers, but 'e needs t'learn I ain't int'rested." Dail'a met Aiouxdaux at some point during the Grindstone, through a mutual friendship with Jadoth and R'kalya. He enjoys sparring with the Elezen, and appreciates the man's skill in conjury, as it's saved him on more counts than he's liked to admit. ಌ RUMOURS ಌ N P C Some of these rumours are untrue, speculation, or are greatly exaggerated. ◢ Common Rumours - Easily overheard.

I am incredibly open to most things, so talk to me OOCly about what you would like to do. ■ No godmoding. ■ No powerplay. ■ No rape. ■ No violating the IC/OOC divide.

All actions taken by this character are as the character would be written and will not be tailored to OOC influences except as absolutely needed to continue playing the character as I like. CHARACTER TIDBITS Potential Plot Hooks ■ Dail'a enjoys fighting. He enters just about every spar, every combat tournament that he can in hopes of having a good time. ■ As with the above, Dail'a frequently enters the Grindstone on Saturday nights. ■ Food is the best thing in Dail'a's life, and he loves to hang out as restaurants and/or join eating contests. ■ Anyone with a bounty on their head may at least know his name, as he clears the name of as many innocents as wicked souls to whom he delivers justice. ■ Dail'a is disliked among the Brass Blades of Ul'dah - especially those more concerned with coin - for making their job more difficult, and for being difficult to rein in.

Small deviations into territory not fully covered may be possible, but never without solid logic and reasoning, as well and will always be researched as thoroughly as possible before implementation.
