Khuja'sae Fashonti
"Life is meaningless if lived quietly in the shadows, cowering from bad decisions. We all have reasons to fear, we all have suffered pain, but I wish to ease it through what little ability I have. If you want to try and stop me, I'll show you what mine has created behind this smile I wear. Some people appreciate a musician."

"The songbirds in the trees are the only friends I never mistrust."

❧ General

---

A young, talented musician, sharp shooter from the Twelveswood, and occasional skirt chaser -- Khuja'sae Fashonti in a nutshell. The ginger miqo'te was banished from his tribe and currently resides in the corner behind the stage at the Aeon Free Company's house in the Goblet, Cliffperch. The musician is quick to make friends and tends to have a good heart about him. Although quick to get offended by insults, he is usually over it in a few days time. While he may not be very well educated, the minstrel is astute about the world around him, offering the occasional insightful snippet of wisdom.

Khuja'sae is the fourth son of his mother and the youngest of all his siblings. The Fashonti family had lost many members from their trade of poaching and pillaging, but most members, including Khuja'sae's older brothers were lost during the calamity. The Fashonti clan is now operated by his eldest surviving sister who affectionately called him, "wart" and disliked his want to pursue music as a profession. Khuja'sae had been the family's Redbird, or sniper in the trees, for near as long as he was able to be. If someone were to interfere in a family operation, Khuja'sae was the one who would take them out with deadly precision.

Khuja'sae's most recent rebellion to his sister's leadership was an operation where they were stealing an amulet from a traveler. The pay was abnormally high, and the family paid dearly for it. Netting three deaths and an injury, the group could not stop the man until Khuja'sae tracked the traveler down and slit his throat and took the item for himself. When Khuja'sae's eldest sister asked for the item, Khuja'sae refused and was kicked out of the clan. Khuja'sae had been tracked since he took the item. Thinking it was the Wood Wailers, Khuja'sae started working on a new identity, using his love and passion for music to lead a path forward. Through his actions, he was hired by Ser Leon to be Cliffperch's resident bard. Upon being hired at Cliffperch, Khuja'sae found a life of freedom and pursuit of what he loves. However, upon learning the secret behind the quick-to-arms nature of Cliffperch's residents, the amulet he had stolen activated, rendering Khuja'sae a permanent resident of Cliffperch. Now he is hunted by those who want the item back by strangers and what is left of his family.

❧ Appearance

---

A scent of fresh cut wood sometimes lingers on the young man. His fingers and face have scars that hint towards a life other than music and bird watching. His bemused countenance banishes any such thought, however.

Distinctive Markings:

Distinctive markings

He sports a scar across the middle of his face. A tattoo of a red, sparrow-like bird marks his right, where the end of a large, old scar lays, seeming to be the path of flight. Appears to have an old arrow wound on the top of his right thigh.

Build: Lean Muscles hidden under loose clothing
Hair: Red/orange
Eyes: Blue
Skin: Fair
Clothing: Loose and easy to move around in but slightly armored

❧ Behaviour

---

Khuja'sae is very clan minded. Despite being excommunicated from his family he forms tight bonds with people and is a stalwart friend. He enjoys music and occasional marksmanship. He is very good at acting politely, when needed, but he can be caught off guard and give way to his slightly less refined manner of speaking. He enjoys calm days in the shade of a tree and slight, cool breezes.

Combat

Khuja'sae is no stranger to the bow, in his family he was given the rank Redbird and his job was to sit in the trees and attack anyone who would interfere in the family's operations. Khuja'sae specializes in multi-shot and rapid fire arrow work with deadly precision. He has studied anatomy of animals and humans to be able to pinpoint the best places to hit for desired results. To the Wood Wailers, Khuja'sae's work was known to be that of the "blood bird" that would commonly leave a casualty with an arrow in each eye, fired at the same time.

Khuja'sae is fairly good with a knife, being able to throw them with a fair amount of accuracy. He began this as an extension of his hobby crafting weapons and instruments out of wood.

♪ Recent RP events ♪

[R] [September 26] When the Dove Cries - Khuja'sae's family revealed that they would rather have the item Khuja'sae stole than have a little brother. A battle for blood against all of Cliffperch.

Had a coin that created a direct mind link with Leon Greymoon. For an entire week, they lived near as each other. After the effects had worn off, he traveled with a group to the icy mountains of Coerthas where ancient magic found Khuja'sae to be one who is 'pure of heart' much to the minstrel's dismay. Litches were fought and a conversation with am undead Rogadyn occured and all Khuja'sae kept from it all was a lousy crystal coin.

Broenfarr met Khuja'sae at his house and drunkenly gave the miqo'te the nickname Tiddles. Now an ongoing joke.

Khuja'sae joined the Gilded Pony and is currently living out his dream to be a professional performer.

The bard went on his first date, awkwardly.

Khuja'sae had his first heartbreak.

Pretty much his go-to guy to talk to about most anything. ❧ Kail Gerrad – Referred to in song as "the Pirate" but called Eyepatch in person. Khuja'sae knows that Kail is a great person to talk to but is sworn to not tell a soul. Although as to why Kail calls Khuja'sae "Curly" remains a mystery to the youth. ❧ W'aelwyn Turrel – Khuja'sae's boss at the Gilded Pony. Pretty, smart, talented, she's an excellent leader and someone that Khuja'sae looks up to. If she needs someone for any performance, Khuja'sae is there and ready. ❧ Broenfarr Niunaglsyn – The man that calls Khuja'sae 'Tiddles'. Despite the Miqo'te's general dislike for for the Sea Wolf Roegadyn, Khuja'sae recognizes him as a good man. He is an excellent chef, co-worker, and the man that introduced him to the Gilded Pony. ❧ Datata Data – A very talented and fashionable lady that Khuja'sae has had the pleasure of meeting. She is a fellow co-worker at the Gilded Pony. ❧ Tal’varian Aquilo – A very talented dancer and wearer of little clothing. Khuja'sae is uneasy of the man, but has quite a bit of respect for him. He is a fellow co-worker at the Gilded Pony. ❧ Y'aishril Behl – The beautiful Lady Bloom, Y'aishril Behl, was there to help him through a difficult turn of events. One year his senior and optimistic despite dire situations, Khuja'sae has appreciated her help. Although he does not know her well, he would consider her a freind. It's been a while since he's seen her. ❧ Teetering Owl – Probably the oldest lady of Cliffperch, He seems to think of her much like is ol'nan and feels that he might confide in her if something were amiss. ❧ Flickering Ember – Their first meeting was abrupt but the Roe has grown on the Miqo'te. Her blindness reminds him of his sister Maloh, his teacher in marksmanship, who was devastated when she lost most of her vision. ❧ Rei'li Niraj – An adopted brother. Rei'li may be busy, but Khu knows that he's there when he needs him. ❧ Reima Awen – "Lady Reima of Green" was one of the songs he sang to this maiden when first they met. She kindly introduced him to Leon. "Lady Reima of Green, so it would seem, is a light and fine maiden before thee. But with just an ire stare, best you beware, even a dragon would flee." ❧ Arcian Martell – Has earned the nickname 'Goldie' even though it scares the minstrel to call her it sometimes. A woman of obvious strength is seen by the miqo'te to be a generally good person. Khuja'sae is well aware that if he were to step out of line, his face would not survive Arcian's wrath. ❧ I'shkandar Tia – Ace is probably the coolest miqo'te at Cliffperch. Has good advice on women and makes great pies.

Acquaintances ❧ Leilani Leilai – A talented musician that Khuja'sae had the privilege to preform with. ❧ Brave Horizon – 'Gildie', although he hasn't had many a conversation with the Roegadyn, if she's 'Goldie's' woman, she must be alright. ❧ Brynhilde Wulf – Khuja'sae met Bryn briefly. She left the young bard with the impression that she is not the woman he would want to piss off. ❧ Draco Nobis – Khuja'sae has heard a lot about the man yet has never met him. Has a few assumptions about the man, but feels it wise not to voice it to his face. ❧ Devereau Beauregard – Based on what Khuja'sae's heard of him, he figures the man is insane. Although, he seems just fine in person. ❧ Eris Laurant – Combative and bullheaded but seemingly alright, Khuja'sae isn't sure what to make of his Gilded Pony co-worker. She's not too far off from the people he's met at Aeon, so she's probably alright. ❧ J'aran Tia – Figures he's a good guy with good intent despite his occasional attitude problems. Learning of his relation to Yurah definitely paints the man in a different light than Khuja'sae had originally thought of him in. ❧ Altani Mol – Khuja'sae met her briefly. She seems like a cute enough new addition to the Aeon family. She can drop the Mr. Khu line though. Enemies & Rivals ❧ Sonu'a Viqqoh - A shady figure who enticed Khuja'sae's family into dark dealings that eventually left the ginger miqo'te marked to be hunted by the remnants of his family. Although Khuja'sae hates the man with a passion, it's hard for him to want to entirely kill him since he is the father of Leon and Rei'li. Since the young musician owes quite a bit to Leon, he doesn't attempt to murder the old man where he stands. ❧ Sasa'li - An old employer... ❧ Maloh Fashonti - Has repeatedly tried to get Khuja'sae to return to his family in the past. Even though Khuja'sae loves his sister and archery trainer very much, he cannot put a finger on her motives. With the recent "When the Dove Cries" event, Khuja'sae knows that Maloh would kill him on sight in the future. Khuja'sae won't hesitate to draw his bow the next time he hears her clicking in the Twelveswood. ❧ Mohn Fashonti - After sending three family members to their deaths, Khuja'sae has nothing more to say to his eldest sister. With the recent "When the Dove Cries" event, Khuja'sae knows that Mohn would kill him on sight in the future, Khuja'sae would not hesitate to return the gesture. ❧ Person Here -
