Basic Info
J'takra is a power-hungry thaumaturge with an abrasive attitude, large ego, mean sense of humor and short temper. He's known to some as one of the ex-leaders of a secretive mage society, protecting and learning the secrets of long forbidden magic. He tends to come off as quite crude and single minded, childish and prone to bouts of anger. In spite of his shortcomings, he is a skilled mage with a few redeeming qualities. You just have to look hard to see them.
Appearance
Lean and wiry, Tak certainly isn't the strongest out there, but his pushy attitude tends to make up for it. Rarely seen without a handmade cigarette between his lips, or his gun at his side, he looks like a real trouble maker. Usually seen wearing either a grumpy frown or cocky smirk, this young Miqo'te is full of surprises.
He is a couple of inches taller than average, standing at about 5'7", which doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of things, since he's still a tiny miqo'te. His skin is pale, and his face framed with long, brilliantly red hair that reaches down to just below his shoulders. His ears are particularly fluffy towards their base, and his tail moreso towards the tip, both ending in a few darker red markings.
His voice is a smooth tenor, perhaps from the years of drinking, and has a certain sensual quality to it, at least when he's not spouting insults and being an angry bastard. He once had a slight Lominsan accent, though it has all but faded now, due to much time spent away from the city state. It only really comes out in a few select words or when he's drunk.
Dressing mostly in blacks, reds and whites, he definitely has a preferred color scheme. He has a bit of a rogue-ish look about him, definitely a weasel. He also carries around a very odd looking gun. It has all the same loading mechanisms as a normal musket, but it's a bit smaller, has a double barrel, and the lower barrel is tipped with a crystal foci. He wears the gun in a hip holster under his coat, rather than across his back. At a first glance you wouldn't guess he was a mage, and he uses that element of surprise often.
Personality
Combat
|
J'takra is a practiced Thaumaturge who came into possession of a black mage soulstone some time ago. At the time he was involved in an order who were all about retrieving such artifacts, and Tak took advantage of a situation where he was able to secretly take one for himself. In the end, he went through a hot of hardship to keep possession of the damn thing, but it's his now. Unlike most Thaumaturges, instead of a staff or scepter, Tak has his crystal focus set into the barrel of his gun. It's really no different from a usual staff, he just prefers the way it looks. Staves are lame. The gun itself is also capable of firing normal bullets, but he very rarely ever has a need to actually use it like that. Physically, Tak isn't super strong. He's still a little lean, though he's been getting better recently. He prefers to be fast and light on his feet, since being a small miqo'te can sometimes be dangerous. He tends to get too emotionally involved when actually fighting, and will often have mildly entertaining spurts of fury, especially if he's losing. A large ego and short temper are a bad combination. |
History
Born and raised as part of a traditional tribe in La Noscea, along with his twin brother, J'sahr. Their lives were fairly shitty up until the point where J'sahr tried to challenge the current Nunh, and used underhanded means to try and gain an advantage. J'sahr was caught and expelled from the tribe, and Tak ended up following him, since the two were very close. However, it wasn't more than a few months of living in the real world before the pair started to grow apart, a rift forming in their relationship over a totally ridiculous reason.
The brothers ended up fighting, and went their separate ways. Instead of returning to his tribe, J'takra decided to strike out on his own, and ended up living in Limsa Lominsa for a good while. He had many different jobs there, from bar tending, to working on ships, to stealing and drug dealing. He didn't hold any for very long, due to having a hard time playing nice with others, and it was during this time that he turned into a terrible depressive alcoholic.
Eventually he came to work at a trading company called the Ruby Carbuncle. It was his longest lasting job (even if he technically got fired once, for trying to shoot some idiot.) up until the company itself was taken over by K'hatos, and they became sky pirates! Sky pirating suited Tak pretty well, he'd started learning Thaumaturgy by this point, and had sobered up a lot. Unfortunately, however, Tak came to learn the hard way that stealing from your own crew mates, especially the Admiral K'hatos, is not a very good idea.
He ended up co-founding a secretive mage order with some others, and that is when he found the means to get his hands on a soul stone. The order eventually disbanded after some years, but Tak is still very much around. He spent several moons in prison for stabbing a man in the middle of a crowded bar, and got himself into plenty of trouble because of his promiscuous behavior. In spite of everything however, he is still alive and is as unlikable as ever.
