Rash'a Rana ... A mercenary of questionable status found wandering the realm.
|
General ❧
A travelling mercenary, Rash'a has seen most parts of the world since the calamity. He is known as the kind who does anything for a quick coin, and while he states he's grown out of thievery and prefers to earn his share these days, you might still find yourself missing your coinpurse if you are not careful.
Rash'as usually dark attire and overall look match the vibe he gives off, making it very certain that he is not to be crossed and a somewhat shady character you do not want to run into in an alley at night. He does not consider himself a good person and is probably right on that account.
When asked, Rash'a will say that he doesn't remember anything prior to the calamity and his mercenary life, but the truth is that he prefers not to discuss the matter.
Rash'a has a very distinct way of speaking from the time he spend living with pirates that he actually enjoys too much to get rid of.
For a Miqo'te he is of average size but might even be considered a little on the small side. While he does not flount it, he takes pride in his looks and keeps his hair and overly long tail well groomed and silky black, the white being a stark contrast to it. He has an overall dark complexion, most of it being natural but reinforced with a lot of sun exposure over the past years. His eyes are a very light grey, making the fact that his left eye is blind almost indistinguishable even when he is not wearing an eyepatch (which hardly ever happens). Rash'a does have a moderate amount of scars, both from his youth and his mercenary life, the ones mostly visible being the claw marks on his face. He has a dark scorpion tattooed on his lower abdomen.
Clothing ❧
Rash'a prefers function over fashion, although he does not completely ignore the latter. He prefers anything that easily blends in and allows a quick getaway. His colors of choice are mostly dark tones. While he owns a lot of it in his hoard, he doesn't usually wear jewelry other than small, inconspicious rings and earrings.
Habits ❧
His most distinctive habit could be considered the way he is 'attack first, ask questions later.' and the way he still tends to grab and hoard every bit of gil or treasure he can get his hands on.
Rash'a is a cold and calculating person which he sometimes more or less effectively masks with an air of dark humor. His past leaving him not only physically but also deeply emotionally scarred, he does not care or trust easily, if at all. To him it is 'every man for himself' and he acts on that principle, so you would sooner find yourself with a dagger in your back than his friendship. He is ruthless in his pursuits and viciously protective of his possessions and interests.
On a lighter note, he is a thrillseeker and a man of simple pleasures, so if you are looking for a drinking buddy or a quick fling he's probably game. Rash'a shamelessly flirts with whomever he finds remotely interesting and might agree to whatever advances - if he feels like it, or if the coin is right.

Past ❧
Rash'a does not remember where exactly he was born, but he is most likely of rural dalmascan origin. When garlean troops invaded his home, he was still a small boy, so his memory of his home and family is hazy at best. He and his sisters were taken from their mother - who along with the oldest two daughters, was killed trying to protect them - and later separated. He has not seen any of them since, although he has heard rumours of his twin sister still being alive somewhere.
As the only boy, he was forced into labor in a garlean ceruleum mine where he spend the rest of his childhood and teenage years underground. With the difficulty to measure the passage of time, he has no idea of the exact number of years he spend there and thus his exact age. Most of his character traits and his mentality that the strong will always take from the weak so he'd best become part of the former are a result of this time. While it made him believe this was normal way into adulthood, he harbors a strong resentment for any garlean to this day.
Growing up, realizing the guards would treat them the way they wanted to anyway, he quickly learned to manipulate them to get something out of it, and eventually used that to trick some of them who were especially fond of him to facilitate an escape with a few of the other young adults. Sneaking onto a transport airship amidst the cargo and taking control of it, the small group of adolescents managed to escape to eorzea, where Rash'a realized that piloting an airborne vessel - especially when one had not seen land or sky in over a decade - was hard enough in itself, but landing it was harder. Suffice to say said landing was more of a running out of fuel and crashing somewhere on the coast of Vylbrand.
From there, their ways parted. A few of them, including Rash'a, made their way to Limsa Lominsa, where they sought work. With no learned skills he found himself on the streets stealing until he managed to join a pirate crew that took him in. While he did not stick with them for too long, alternating from one to another, learning what he could and then moving on, he found that he liked the free, no-rules life, although it landed him in a dungeon or the other over the following decade, most of which he got himself out of by either way of bribery.
When the calamity changed the world and it's rules, he alternated to mercenary and treasure hunter.
Present ❧
To this day Rash'a mostly works as a mercenary, taking on odd jobs here and there, 'adventuring' and treasure hunting alone or with varying bands of adventurers and small free companies. He has not settled down and has no plans to.
As a hand for hire Rash'a will do almost any job that yields an agreeable prize, but he will never voluntarily set foot into a mine again, for coin or other reward. if an odd job or the other entails killing garleans, he might even do it for free. It was no surprise that he felt drawn to the bozjan front eventually.
Rash'a also still likes to just travel the world at his leisure, sightseeing and treasure hunting, taking his latest companion along.
