Ehcah Rhumo

“Knowledge resembles a statue of marble which stands in the desert and is continuously threatened with burial by the shifting sands. The hands of service must ever be at work, in order that the marble continue lastingly to shine in the sun.” –Albert Einstein (Out of My Later Years)

[edit] Details Personality Relationships Rumors Gallery OOC Notes GENERAL INFORMATION Ehcah Rhumo was born in Gridania, daughter of Xahjih and an unknown father. She's the oldest of four girls. Her mother is a minor member of the God's Quiver, but Xahjih's daughter never showed the aptitude for the bow that she did. Instead, Ehcah devoted herself to her studies, particularly mathematics and science. She stayed with her mother as long as she could bear before her thirst for knowledge lead her away from the Shroud to Limsa Lominsa and the Arcanist's Guild. Today, she studies the mathematical side of arcanima, along with dabbling in numerology. She hopes to figure out how to enhance the power of summoned Carbuncles through geometry, as well as making them better at specific tasks rather than general martial use. APPEARANCE Coming in at a sort-of-even 5'1" and a obviously not-huge 95 ponze, Ehcah Rhumo is about as average as a Keeper of the Moon Miqo'te gets. Her skin, a dusty lavender, was designed to blend into the forest's shadows in the Shroud where she was born. Though Ehcah is rail thin, she isn't without some lean muscle. Athleticism was still in her blood, and even though she was a scholar at heart, her studies took her into the deepest and furthest reaches of the world, where such skills come in handy. Running, jumping, climbing trees - this caused definition in her forearms and thighs especially (the later also enhanced by her many travels on foot across Eorzea). To complement her light grey-purple skin, Ehcah's hair, unlike many cats of the Shroud, is a shockingly bright purple with pink highlights. It was rod straight, even in the humidity of Shroud thunderstorms. Chopped at ear length or kept in a braid - she wants it no other way. This, combined with her pink-purple eyes, has given rise to the idea that her father might have been a Seeker of the Sun. None of her siblings or her mother had hair or eyes such as these. Whether genetic anomaly or cross-tribe relations, it didn't matter much to her. Ehcah stood out, there was no avoiding it. Ehcah wore glasses, unusual for a Keeper as young as she was, and had since she was ten years old. Her mother noticed her reading difficulties and sent her to the Hearers, who reported back their findings. Every since, Ehcah has kept only two pairs of glasses on her - one for reading, and one for day wear. She wasn't much of a collector. Her most distinguished feature is more a lack of - the stripes that usually grace the face of a Shroud Miqo'te are faded, as though someone tried to scrub them off and failed. It wasn't much of a difference to anyone who didn't know Keepers very well, but to most Keepers, it was painfully obvious. In order to counteract that, Ehcah took the usual mark of a Keeper on her forehead, so that no one would be able to deny her heritage. Ehcah is constantly covered in little bumps, bruises, scrapes, and scars. It's a hazard of living in the wild, and of sometimes not paying attention while in said wild. In particular, she's missing the pinky and half the ring fingers on her right hand, due to a wayward encounter with a Couerl. The healers who treated her were amazed she was alive. This didn't slow her down any, except for needing to relearn how to hold her book in that hand during battle. The injury was recent enough that she still sometimes misses a hold while climbing and nearly slips back down the rocks. The wounds, too, ache the cold, which makes traveling in snowy Coerthas that much more unpleasant. Her clothing was kept intensely practical ever since she finished her apprenticeship in the Arcanist's Guild. A pair of pants, the color of a Gobbie's bag , reached halfway down her calves. When she departed Gridania for Limsa Lominsa, Ehcah's mother furnished her with a pair of sturdy, mud-brown boots. The most embellishment her clothes had was on her shirt - blood red with swirls of darker red patters, with a matching half-cape that reached down to her mid back. Slung around her waist were many bags, filled with potions, ethers, echo drops, and all manner of writing and calculating instruments. A gold book clip finished the look, holding a Maelstrom-issued Picatrix, which was white with inlaid stained glass patterns. Ehcah does wear makeup a lot, though she enchants it so that it will not run off in water or with sweat and dirt. It was an interesting trick she picked up from another woman in the Arcanist's Guild when she was still in training. Her lipstick is a dark purple and her eyeshadow, a reddish pink. Aspects That Stand Out: ■ Always wears glasses, as her eyesight is poor. ■ Her brightly colored hair stands out in any situation. ■ While her pink eyes aren't as bright as an Au Ri limbal ring, they certainly look glowing. PERSONALITY If Ehcah was to be in the modern age, she would be diagnosed ADHD. Throughout her early schooling in Gridania, she always had the most problems. She chattered quickly, moved faster and more often, and asked the most questions. But even in spite of this, her attention waned and her schoolwork was lacking, if it was submitted at all. Her mother, Xahjih was exasperated, but saw that on scratches of paper, Ehcah was working on mathematical formulas that were beyond her years, or her current tutors. Thus, Xahjih hired a special tutor from Limsa Lominsa to educate her daughter in the maths and sciences that Gridania lacked, but were found easily in the seaside capital. These, finally, were where Ehcah's talents lie - in calculations, in shapes, in letters and numbers that graced the page of an Arcanist's tome. When she arrived in Limsa Lominsa as an adult, she found it was a place she could settle. The sights, the sounds, the smells - all were intoxicating (well, perhaps not the smells - they were often of sweaty sailor and fish pulled fresh from the bay, which were not her favorite). When she had the coin, her sensitive nose took her to The Bismarck to enjoy grilled fish and wine or, when she was poorer, Ehcah went to The Drowning Wench for fish stews and ales. Seafood was a novelty in Gridania, but plentiful in Limsa, and she could not help but indulge. Either way, she always had her Picatrix with her, going over strategies and formulas.. A good, hot afternoon was a cold ale and a difficult equation. Still, there were often things to hate about Limsa. There were no trees to hide in when she wanted privacy, and the more secluded areas of the city were often the most dangerous. She dared not go anywhere at night without her carbuncle by her side keeping watch. It made her miss home, where almost anywhere was safe because of the fear of the God's Quiver archers patrolling the perimeter. Here, while the Yellowjackets kept watch, many citizens would turn away at the sign of a fight. The area outside of the city, away from the buildings, also made her feel much too exposed. She was used to trees over her head and while the starts were beautiful, there was nowhere safe to run if she was ambushed by a monster... or much worse. When she was 22, Ehcah finally reached her first true goal - to earn her place as the owner of a Scholar soulstone. Now at 23, though her fairies (nicknamed Laqi and Vejah, though their true names were Eos and Selene) were constantly by her side, she dedicated her research to Carbuncles.. In particular, she wanted to know which geometrical shapes and equations produced more people-focused Carbuncles. Not ones suited for battle, but ones that the common person could summon, as pets or traveling companions. She used her Emerald Carbuncle, Ele’a, as her focus of study, but occasionally summoned Xuba’to, her Topaz Carbuncle, if she wanted to test a particular theory on something more headstrong. Such research takes her across Eorzea to talk to Arcanists, Scholars, and Summoners about their research - even if some of them were in the furthest reaches of the wilds. Ehcah's strength lies in her singular focus. When she was fascinated with something, she was determined to finish it, to see it through. And what she did well, she did to perfection. These traits do have their drawbacks, however. That singular focus is often at the expense of her surroundings, hence her fairy and Carbuncle to warn her of danger. She will also ignore her health and her need for food and water over her relentless research. Ehcah's perfectionism also causes her to procrastinate on things she's not focused on, even freeze entirely. Rarely, that lack of success can pull her into a despair she has a hard time crawling out of. Outside of her research, Ehcah has a deep love of exploration. She collects old maps and, when stuck on a tricky research problem, will choose one and walk around following it, marking off interesting features on a copy in her book. This, she says, helps her to think. Sometimes these walks lead to deep meditative thoughts... straight into a thorny bush or small pond. She also loves teaching Carbuncles conventional pet tricks, often accompanied by sparks and glitter from the Carbuncles themselves. It entertains village children while their parents or other loved ones are in recovery from a fight or beast. Ehcah believes everything can be categorized, quantified, understood through math and science. This is not to say she lacks compassion - she has a great deal of it, as her healing arts attest. Rather, she feels more comfortable when everything is neat and tidy, even if it doesn't work out as such in practice. Life, though, is of great value, as she does not believe in reincarnation or an afterlife. Ehcah believes everyone is a unique individual that will exist only once. People are to be protected, to be healed when necessary. If asked by the average Eorzean, Ehcah will say that her chosen deity is Menphina, the Lover. However, she's not the most religious sort. She believes she can express her spirituality through knowledge. If she can understand the inner workings of the universe as the Twelve created it, then she has a duty to spread that to the rest of Eorzea. Ehcah carries no delusions of grandeur - she doesn't believe she speaks for the Gods. She accepts that she might well be wrong. However, she sees no harm in trying. Ehcah is gay, flat out. Oh, she pretended for a while. She told her friends what boys she "thought were cute." A few even attempted to court her! But she pushed them away. She thought she was just being picky. That is, until she was 18 and arrived in Limsa Lominsa. There, couples of all sorts walked through the streets. Yes, there were women with men, but also men with men, and women with women! Ehcah was stunned and tried not to stare, especially at the women. She didn't want to appear rude. But she knew then: She wanted to be courted by a woman, not a man. As she wandered around Limsa, Ehcah found she was especially fond of the heavily armored women from the Marauder's Guild. Tall, muscled - a dream! She pictured being carried off by one (gently, of course). L I K E S ■ Math. Oh boy does Ehcah love math. If you get her on the subject, she will talk about it until your brain falls out. ■ Carbuncles. She has a fondness for the little things, and even though some other Arcanists think it's silly, she names hers. D I S L I K E S ■ Archery. Ehcah's eyesight is too poor for the precision of archery. She prefers her "to whom it may concern" style of targeted spellcasting. ■ Her voice. She doesn't have a great singing voice, and she tends to stutter when she talks too fast.
