General Information
L'uahk looks the part of your average Sunseeker, but the moment he opens his mouth one knows he is oh-so-much more.

Style
Upright, Energetic Ambidexterity Left Shoulder/Bicep, Chest, Chin Pennons curving upward from jawline, whorls at corners of eyes Light-weight, Utilitarian, Near-Eastern influences
Hair & Eyes
Vertically-aligned pupils consistent with Sunseeker physiology, they take on a blue-touched violet hue and lift at the outer edges, almost-almond. His hair is short save for two tails on either side of his face, and it otherwise perpetually wind-swept. The golden colour is streaked with subtle tawny here-and-there.
Physique & Markings
On the lither-side of wiry, he's built for speed and dexterity. His hips are somewhat wide and his shoulders prominant. The entirety of his left shoulder and much of his bicep bears the faded, pulling-scars of burns while a variety of cuts can be seen along his left arm and leg in no discernable pattern. His chest also bears two horizontal scars just below the pectoral, methodical and even.
Hygiene & Attire
At any time might be dusty or dirty in the manner a fellow who spends all of his time travelling and adventuring might be. His clothing tends to be light, often forgoing much in the way of a shirt, but ever-seen wearing some form of head-covering. The only other constant is the light leather cord with a silver ring dangling from his neck.
Personality
Psychological Profile
An incorrigible flirt, a shameless show-off, and cocky to a fault, L'uahk seems to fit the bill for your typical rogueish type. He never quite stops smiling, lips always twisted upward regardless of the situation. He's very aware of both his physical skills, as well as his mental prowess, and with that awareness comes a certain recklessness. While not always performing for a crowd, he's always pushing himself. To be more, to be better, to be just a bit more clever every day. Rest assured he's got a lighthearted joke, a bit of flowery words, and a challenge for anyone who gives him the time of day. Yet, below it all, there is more, hinted in the way he makes to control every situation he gets into.
Voice
L'uahk's voice rarely dips lower than a tenor, is clear as a bell and full of laughter. Though normally he speaks quite nonchalantly, and even eloquently, when truly excited he may suddenly begin rambling at high-speeds. He's got the accent of Radz-at-Han clinging to his words, but shows no lack of mastery for language.
Philosophy & Mannerisms
L'uahk believes in progress, in the individuality of all, and in the value of personal interest. Though never actively looking for a fight, he doesn't believe in backing out of a challenge. He is perhaps the very definition of a free spirit. The buzzing, almost-electric energy roiling through his body gives him many small tics: a bouncing foot, a twitching tail, a tapping finger.

Non-Combat Abilities
Mathematics: Perhaps it seems odd to call knowing one's numbers a 'skill' but within L'uahk's mind are the equations and processes that produce not only magic and precise angles needed for sharpshooting, but also informed decision-making in financial matters, among other things. It is the speed by which he figures out mathematical problems that shows this is a nurtured talent.
Wayfinding/Tracking: Being a peregrinate soul has fostered the need to know where he's going, and where he's been. Wandering on foot, by boat, by cart, by chocobo, L'uahk's keen eyes have taken in the world. However, more than that he knows how to read the land, and rarely if ever loses his way.
Cooking: No survivalist gets on without knowing at least the basics of how to cook. For L'uahk, it's an artform to turn the bare minimum into something fit for a well-to-do cafe. This isn't a skill he's had very long, however, only picked up and began polishing in the last three or four years.
Combat Abilities
Thread The Needle: Hitting a moving target while standing still is challenging enough. Imagine hitting a moving target while you yourself are thrown around with great momentum. L'uahk knows how to shoot, and with precision one just does not commonly find. He'll find the eyes, he'll find the throat, the joints in armor, without fail.

OOC Note
Honestly I can roll with just about any combat system, but I prefer to talk it out occly before or during the event. I want to stay true to characters and give everyone a chance to shine. Don't be afraid to talk to me.



History
Some stories you don't want to know. Others lead you to gold.
Disclaimer: I would say be careful about using any of this information outright. Send me a tell, first. L'uahk is the sort of fellow who will tell and retell a story and they'll never quite be the same. His lies are many, his tales are tall, knowing what is the truth amongst it all is a tricky thing. That being said, if you want to look into having a shared past with this character, hit me up. I love that sort of thing.
Sixth Astral Era
Childhood
L'uahk was born of a traditional Miqo'te tribe which loosely correlates with the 'Viper' tribe of Eorzea, living in the jungles of Thavnair. The traditional Seeker lifestyle, intermixed with a degree of occultism one should likely expect from Near Eastern Miqo'te, shaped both how he viewed magic, as well as fostering a deep-seated loathing of 'duty'. A capable pathfinder and hunter, sharp-eyed and clever with both bows and traps, he was an asset to his tribe as any other might be. It was trade with the alchemists of Radz-at-Han that sparked an interest for the world outside tribal life. With bow and insatiable curiousity, he stole away from his people to find a place amongst the Hannish and their alchemical wonderland.

Seventh Umbral Era
Adulthood
Despite his intentions, L'uahk learned far more amongst the Hannish than he ever intended, but his thirst to learn was never quenched, and he took every bit of information he could, committing it to memory whether useful...or not. Alchemy, silk-worm care and spinning, dancing, music, mixology...he even got his hands on a few books of arcanima from Limsa Lominsa after a time, and took to applying the magic to his music, which had at the time stagnated in quality. Though he never truly took to mastering alchemy, he found so much more that piqued his curiousity, particularly that which originated from the land known as Eorzea. Ever-eager to take on new experiences, he takes to a Lominsan captain of a trading ship, and swaps stories and experiences anytime he arrives at port. It's the captain's disappearance that finally provokes the Miqo'te to leave Raz-at-Han, and make for Eorzea.

In Recent Times
Moving Forward
The hurting world of Eorzea was not what L'uahk expected when he arrived, but he'd spent his coin and was resolved to make do.
Acting mostly as a treasure-hunter and a Wayfinder, the 'adventuring' gig works pretty well in his favor. And of course, wooing any lad or lady who strikes his fancy as he wanders through the regions.

IC Inventory
If sizing him up, or looking to pick-pocket, here's what you might see.

RP Limits
Generally speaking, I don't have too many limitations, but No's are typically a hard no.
I will play Angst, adventure, lighthearted, romance, violence, humor, mystery...
Ask about Death and related themes. I'm typically pretty open about this, but I require communication.
I won't play Rape. ERP for the sake of ERP.
RP Hooks
I greatly enjoy establishing pre-existing acquaintances and relationships in RP, but if that isn't your thing, here are some hooks. I'm typically up for RP regardless of where I am. Just send me a /tell.
■ Need something found? Need a guide? L'uahk is the sort who will find you what you need, no questions asked, or find you a path to your destination. Those looking into the slave trade however, need not apply.
■ Anyone affiliated with Ul'dah's syndicate might recognize L'uahk as a low-pay bounty. "For crimes regarding a lack of integrity."
■ Occasionally it might be known that the wandering survivalist spouts off manically about magic, in a manner both clever and nigh-insane. Those interested in arcanima might find his words amusing, insightful, or even inspiring.
■ L'uahk flirts with a lot of people. I mean a LOT of people. And typically, leaves them hanging. Even worse, sometimes he uses them as an alibi while he hides from various constabularies. This is probably the one detail I would say you need no prior discussion with me to use as a backstory link. Go for it. Let's have a giggle out of it.


OOC Notes
Player Information
Player Note
I'm pretty big on OOC and IC being kept separate. My character's actions do not represent me in any manner. In addition, communication is important and if the RP isn't casual, or even if it is and you're looking for clarification, don't be afraid to talk to me. Lastly, I don't do well with lots of scroll, so you probably won't see me in super-populated locations.
Character Lore Adherence
Everything concerning this character that has not been confirmed by in-game lore should be taken with a grain of salt. Anything that has had to be changed because of lore shifting will be noted below.
■ No changes.
Character Concept
L'uahk is made with grey-morality in mind. He's not your typical do-gooder so I wouldn't suggest going to him for that sort of thing if that's like a strict necessity for you. He's a cajoling, fast-talking and silvery-tongued guy who makes a profit where he can and needs both freedom and control over the situations he gets himself into. He's the very definition of free-spirit.
