Standing at 6 fulm and 7 ilms, Dunrai is on the shorter end for an Au Ra. His wide, stocky frame and broad shoulders make up somewhat for the height disadvantage. He weighs about 240~ ponze, with the build of a warrior; thick, corded arms and thighs, with a padded, firm abdomen, and a powerful back. He might not move as gracefully as other fighters, but he can and has taken a beating. There’s several scars all along his body. The most noticeable ones are on his back, jagged marks that seem to have come from some sort of animal, and a long ropey scar across his right thigh from a wound that never healed properly. The rest are scattered, thin lines, faded with time.
He has a somewhat angular face, black scales across his forehead, hooked nose, and lining his jawline and cheeks. Thanks to his remarkably poor eyesight, Dunrai has to wear glasses. In battle, he wears specialized goggles so as to not worry about them falling off in the melee. Dunrai has long, full lips, and he rarely smiles. It’s often just a twitch of the lips, there and gone in moments. He keeps his jagged, sideways horns well cleaned and taken care of, as well as his long, barbed and spiked tail.
His pale yellow hair is often twined into a series of braids, each of them ending with a small, elegant black bow. When out of their braids, his hair is noticeably longer, going past his shoulder blades and curling at the ends.
Aspects That Stand Out:
■ Glasses or Googles. Always one or the other.
■ Braided and bow-decorated hair
■ Thick, stocky frame
About
Born in the Azim Steppes, Dunrai was raised by Taban and Enkhjargal of the Dazkar. He has an older brother, Uteko, and a younger sister, Lakhu. Dunrai left the Steppe when he was barely 18 years old, moving south across Yanxia until finally arriving at the Ruby Sea. He stayed there for several years, leaving for Eorzea around 3 and a half years ago. He rarely speaks of his time in the Steppe or why he left. In fact, he tends to be vague about his past before he arrived in Eorzea. He joined the Gladiator’s guild in Ul’dah, then through a chance encounter met Urieth Valroux when the elezen saved his life. Feeling he owed a debt to her, Dunrai chose to follow Urieth and help her, serving first as her guard and assistant, before becoming her close friend and confidant. He has recently left her employment and joined the Aureate Ward, though he and Urieth remain close still.
Notes: These are important backstory points that you the reader may know but your character probably would not.
■ Former member of the Ruby Sea Confederacy.
■ Exiled from the Dazkar tribe by his family.
PERSONALITY
Quiet and reserved, Dunrai doesn’t speak unless he feels he has something worth saying, or a question to ask. He’s not rude or shy, but he’s not good at small talk. His Eorzean is fluent and most of the time overly formal. He’s polite, caring, and loyal to a fault. However, he can be very stubborn, and he sometimes over-works himself.
LIKES
■ Sparring A good way to get a measure of a person, particularly someone he has to fight beside.
■ Chocobos He adores the Eorzean horse-birds. Perhaps one day he’ll get one for himself.
■ Spicy food One of his favorite things to indulge in. Sweet, sour, or just plain spicy, it’s all welcome.
■ Reading It’s partly why he’s so fluent in Eorzean, having read so many of their books.
■ Sweets He has a terrible sweet tooth, not just for food but for drink as well.
■ --------.
DISLIKES
■ Religious Zealots Specifically of the Twelve. He’s devoted in his faith to Nhaama, and strongly dislikes anyone who tries to force their religion onto him.
■ Garlean Empire Having seen their work and suffered at their hands, there’s no love lost between Dunrai and the Empire
■ Violence for the sake of violence
■ Nosy people/people who don't respect boundaries
■ ---------.
HOBBIES
■ Reading He’ll read most anything and everything.
■ Drawing. From sketching interesting scenes he comes across in day to day life, to sitting in his room and painting, Dunrai uses this to help him relax.

◢ Player Character Rumors -
■ "I heard that all the Dazkar men are good... receivers. I dunno. He's kindof stoic for that. You think he's got a wife back home?" — Roskva Bloodbraids.
I have a very clear distinction when it comes to OOC/IC. They must remain separate at all times if we are to RP together, especially on an extended basis and I reserve the right to end interactions should this be impeded upon. If my character dislikes yours that does not mean I hold the same sentiment. If my character loves yours that does not translate to me feeling the same for you. I am not my characters and they are not me. Respect this and we shall get along famously.
Personal RP Limits
I don't have very many hardcore limits honestly as I feel consequences must be adhered to when RPing any character regardless of whom they might be. However there are a few exceptions to this and they are as follows.
■ I will play Almost anything that isn't described below.
■ I won't play Death, Rape, Maiming plots.
Disclaimer

■ If you're ever uncomfortable, tell me! I don't bite!

CHARACTER TIDBITS
Potential Plot Hooks
While the below is by no means comprehensive, it's a kind of spring board for walk-up RP.
■ Free Paladin/Void Hunter.
■ Occasionally seen sketching something in a small book he keeps.
■ Spends time in the Drowned Wench after finishing a resupplying run in Limsa.
