Appearance
[[|left|400px]] Hair: Red with golden highlights. Typically tussled.
Complexion: Fair. Gets sunburns often.
Build: He is built lithely. Tends to wear clothes that make him look bulkier than he actually is.
Misc: Fajar is very hairy, even for a miqo'te. His eyes glow very subtly with an otherworldly light, a side effect from assisting his mentor Dr. Nikolai Petrilio with his Aether infusion.
Personality
Fajar enjoys his privacy. He likes to listen to others talk about themselves, but if he becomes the subject, he'll usually do his best to steer it away. If he cannot, then he'll become very frustrated if there are people present that he is not yet comfortable around. He tends to speak curtly and with a lot of slang. Often blunt, analytical, and objective, more sensitive people tend to find him rude, but many welcome his ability to openly offer and receive constructive criticism. He loves to learn, and has studied all the magical arts, as well as alchemy. Talking about ideas or teaching him new concepts are quick ways to earn his friendship.
Abilities
Fajar is naturally talented in all schools of magic, but particularly excels at thaumaturgy due to his heightened Aether capacity. He also studied alchemy extensively under the tutelage of Nikolai Petrilio. In order to survive his early teen years, he also resorted to and is still fairly skilled at pickpocketing and being stealthy. He also is a learned ventriloquist. Before running away from his homeland, Fajar and his sister Lumei were often tasked with helping hunt for their community. As such, he is adequately skilled at archery and fishing. He has not practiced archery for some time, but still goes fishing fairly regularly.
Influential Persons
Lumei Tuolim: Fajar's older sister. Though she has disowned him as a brother, Fajar still looks up to her as a role model. She was responsible for teaching him how to fish, and he has many fond memories of outings with her.
Nikolai Petrilio: Fajar's alchemy tutor. When Nikolai sought a thaumaturge for assistance with his experiments, Fajar volunteered without hesitation. Fajar thinks of him as an older brother, and is deeply troubled by feelings of responsibility for his fate.
Rumors
"Ugh, you've met that selfish brat, have you? He actually had the nerve to request that I be his arcanima mentor! Naturally I said no way. Thank the Twelve they assigned him someone else. I hope I never run into him..."

Behind the Scenes (OOC Information)
- In Fajar's homeland, the miqo'te tribes are not so distinctly divided, and they often intermingle. He and Lumei have some physical traits of each clan, but they are often mistakenly thought to be unrelated for he has sharp incisors, a distinct Keeper feature which his sister lacks.
- Fajar fled his homeland when he learned of his arranged marriage. This earned his family the scorn of the community, which exiled the Tuolims. They have since rebuffed any attempt he has made to contact them.
- "Fajar" was originally a nickname given to him by his sister. Meant to be ironic, it means "sunrise" in Indonesian. (All the mithra names in XI had an Indonesian flavor, and these character concepts were written before XIV was even announced.) It stuck, and now he uses it for all purposes. He doesn't remember his original given name, and doesn't really care to find out.
