[edit] Details Personality Relationships Rumors Gallery OOC Notes GENERAL INFORMATION Otgonbayar is an eccentric conjurer raised in the musical Qalli tradition. Ever the misfit, he has left clan territory to hone his magic skills, and to broaden his knowledge of the natural world upon which it draws. APPEARANCE Quiet but restive, Otgonbayar has an odd and often distracted air about him. He has the trim physique of someone who walks often and eats rich meals seldom, and a pack full of tchotchkes befitting a wanderer's taste for variety. His choice of clothing is eclectic. Otgonbayar favors hardy fabrics and leathers, but with some small luxurious detail such as embroidery, engraved buttons or vibrant dyes. Aspects That Stand Out: ■ The outer sides of his horns are unusually scuffed and scratched. ■ His voice is curiously low. As one of the Qalli, his speech is often embellished with musical elements. PERSONALITY Per his tribe's traditions, Otgonbayar freely expresses his emotional highs and lows, and assumes others will do the same. Practically everything seems to make an emotional impression on him, even the banalities. For someone living the adventurer's life far from home, Otgonbayar has surprisingly little interest in wealth, fame, or excitement. Nor is he looking to settle down, which would be antithetical to his migratory upbringing. By all indications, Otgonbayar is living a listless and unambitious life, bereft of long-term plans. L I K E S ■ Music. Performing. Listening. Traditional. Experimental. If you can tap your foot to it, he probably likes it. ■ The outdoors. More than just a familiar space, Otgonbayar finds solace in the sound of running water, the sight of rolling clouds and the smell of fresh leaves. D I S L I K E S ■ Routine. In his own mind, Otgonbayar isn't a steady or predictable person. Why should he live like someone who is? ■ Stagnant water. It just looks, feels, and smells terrible. Twelve help him if he ever has to enter a swamp. H O B B I E S ■ Music. While well accustomed to singing, Otgonbayar favors playing the morin khuur. ■ Rock collecting. As well-traveled as any Xaela, Otgonbayar carries an assortment of stones that caught his interest for one reason or another. Very few of them have any commercial value. S T R E N G T H S ■ Adaptable ■ Empathetic W E A K N E S S E S ■ Unreliable ■ Moody M O T I V A T I O N S ■ Fitting in - He never managed it at home. Then again, he can't be the only oddball out there. ■ Being secure - He just wants to be able to weather the inevitable storms of life. RELATIONSHIP STATUS LEGEND ♥ Family – ♥ Involved – ♥ Romantic – ♥ Platonic – ♥ Physical – ♦ Friend – ★ Acquaintance – $ Business – ✝ Deceased – ✔ Positive – ✖ Negative – ● Neutral – � Unsure FAMILY Enkhjargal Qalli, mother. ( ✝ ) - Fallen Hero. Character's Thoughts: "Mother had no magic, but gave all of herself to care for our small and weak. She spilled her blood on the ground for us." Enkhjargal died when Otgonbayar was very young, defending the Qalli children during a raid from a rival tribe. As his memories of her faded over time, he now mainly knows her from the stories elders tell of her heroism. Naranbaatar Qalli, father. ( ✔ ) - Elder Bowman. Character's Thoughts: "Father is swift and silent like Mother Dusk. He can ride fast and shoot straight. I am glad he is so frightful." Naranbaatar never understood his son's peculiar ways, but assumed they had some mystical basis. Their relationship is warm but not particularly close. Nergui Qalli, eldest sister. ( � ) - Common Bowwoman. Character's Thoughts: "Nergui says she loves many people, but it's their talents she loves. She also says she has no talents." Nergui believes that her little brother is brilliant in all the ways that she is dull. The two have chafed occasionally, brother finding sister overbearing while she found him aloof. Sarangerel Qalli, elder sister. ( ✖ ) - Honored Healer. Character's Thoughts: "Sarangerel is perfect. She wants everyone else to be perfect. When someone is imperfect, she speaks poison until they go away." Sarangerel believes that her brother is mentally infirm, and that his departure was in the tribe's best interests. Otgonbayar believes she is a manipulator responsible for most of his woes. NON-FAMILY Chaliqai Qalli, friend. ( ✝ ) - Troubled Youth. Character's Thoughts: "Chaliqai was a flame. People loved his light and his warmth. They feared his hunger and his heat. In the end, people either smother a flame or leave it to starve." Chaliqai and Otgonbayar were friends from childhood, until their early adolescence when the former took his own life. RUMORS N P C Some of these rumors are untrue, speculation, or are greatly exaggerated. ◢ Common Rumors - Easily overheard. Use these freely! ■ "He's a minstrel, I think. Always has this cheap oversized violin with him." ■ "He doesn't charge for healing, which is good. The main problem is finding the guy when you need him." ■ "I told him to sign his name and he drew this funny little picture. Fella probably don't know his letters." ◢ Uncommon Rumors - A little more difficult to hear. Use sparingly or ask first! ■ "I saw someone pay that poor fool with buttons instead of coins. That ain't right." ■ "Real flirt he is, but doesn't know how to close the deal." ■ "Oh he's an odd one. Saw him rubbing his head against some rocks not far outside of town - those horns don't get itchy, do they?" ◢ Rare Rumors - Very rarely overheard. Please ask before using! ■ "He's a wuss. One time he saw an enemy corpse and started to cry." ■ "He's a prodigy. He healed his first wound at just eight summers." ■ "He's a nutcase. Did you hear he once fell in love with a tree?" P C Feel free to add your own rumors to this section. ◢ Player Character Rumors - Some of these are more rare than others! ■ "Rumor." — Rumormonger. Artwork Screenshots ಌ OOC NOTES ಌ OOC INFORMATION Player Note I almost exclusively play EST evenings. If you'd like any out-of-game methods of contact, just ask! Personal RP Limits My general style and tone is pretty tongue-in-cheek. There are some serious themes involved, and I love a good serious scene as much as anyone, but as a general rule I don't jive well with grittier playstyles. ■ I will play tastefully presented mature content and themes. Combat resulting in light or easily-treated injury is fine, though not my focus. ■ I won't play explicit violence or shock horror. I don't ERP, and have no problem with those who do. Disclaimer Little Tidbits. ■ I am a dork. Expect corny jokes. CHARACTER TIDBITS Potential Plot Hooks ■ Otgonbayar left tribal territory on mixed terms. Reunions with fellow Qalli would be neat! ■ Conjury on the steppe is probably a bit different from the Eorzean art. He'd love to talk shop. ■ While not forthcoming about it, he dearly wants to learn how to read. Character Lore Adherence My general approach is to build on what lore is available. It took a bit of extrapolation in this case - mostly drawing from real-world Mongolian traditions and some idle speculation about how the Qalli might differ from the standard Xaela culture and lifestyle.
