Character
General
A native of Ul'dah, Rurutani is a generally friendly and charming Lalafell who is quick to make friends if he feels he can trust the other person. He has strong morals and seeks justice when he can find it, and is willing to help his friends in any way he can if they are in trouble. He is currently working to prepare for the trials to become a Sultansworn within Ul'dah, under the mentorship of his friend Kage.
Appearance
Standing a bit taller than the average Lalafell, Rurutani has light-blue/nearly white hair that falls shoulder-length. He bears a scar under his right eye and due to a battle injury, has lost his left eye completely. He now wears an eyepatch to cover the left eye at all times. He can typically be found in either his paladin armor or a more causal green tunic.
Behavior
A man of virtue and grace, with a slumbering temper, Rurutani believs in a strict sense of honor especially with close friends. While he likes to have fun and joke, he also understands the need for serious consideration of matters especially those involving life or death matters. Prone to bow to strangers or superiors, or show deference to those in higher positions of authority, Rurutani can often be perceived as being nothing more than a follower but this masks his true character. He simply understands the importance of a structured chain of command. Generally a good-natured soul, he is however, plagued by past memories and doubt, and these sometimes influence his actions. He also has a fascination with Miqo'te folks and tends to approach them easier than he does others such as Hyur or even other Lalafell.
Combat

While a long time student of the bow, he is an accomplished archer and hunter. However he has recently undergone training as a paladin, and while having a lot to learn, he has begun gaining skill with the sword and shield.

Family
Rurutani comes from a middle calss merchant family in Ul'dah, though unwealthy by any stretch of the imagination. His father, Nanabesu, ingrained a strict code of ethics and values on Rurutani from an early age. Nanabesu died during the Calamity. His mother, Luluna, was a proud spouse and worked to continue the merchant business even after Nanabesu's death, though she struggled to make it work. Rurutani was the youngest of three children; His elder sister Zezeri also worked with his mother keeping the merchant shop afloat, working daily to sell goods to customers. The eldest child was his brother Nonotano, an ambitious young man who's charm exceeded his youthful looks. Nonotano was the family's contact with those in seats of importance within the city, establishing contracts for purchases and extending the family network. Nonotano, however, fell into working with a local garrison of Garlean soldiers offering information in exchange for future gains in power. After much heated arguing between Nonotano and his mother and sister, Nonotano killed both while Rurutani was out one day gathering supplies. When Rurutani discovered the bodies he attempted to flee Ul'dah and encountered Nonotano near the cliffs of Nophica's Wells. In the ensuing battle, Rurutani loosed an arrow into the chest of Nonotano, knocking him off the edge of the cliffs, and Rurutani has not seen him since believing him to be dead, though of late he is unsure.
Friends
Kage Kiryuu - His friend and mentor in Ul'dah, a Sultansworn he met in the Quicksand one day over drinks. A fellow Lalafell, he feels a close kinship to the man and looks up to him in his position.
Natalie McBeef - Though she is a superior and he has little opportunity to see her, he finds a sense of loyalty and friendship to the Miqo'te Sultansworn. He hopes to prove to her he is capable of being a Sultansworn regardless of his missing eye and the errors in judgment he has made on occasion.
Mimiko Miyuki - A charming female Miqo'te bard he met prior to going back to Ul'dah. He accompanied her to the Ball in Ul'dah recently and the two seemed to connect and are making plans to see each other again.
Surilian Blu - A mysterious female Miqo'te he met briefly while looking for Kage, he is still not sure about her, or where her loyalties lie. He wants to speak to her further to get a better guage on who she is.
Evirine Decorus - He met this pleasant Hyur woman shortly after the attack which cost him his eye. He hopes to see her again in the future so they can talk more.
Dennthota Ahtahrmwyn - Though he only briefly met the Roegadyn woman, he considers her a friend in the fact that she saved him and Kage when they were brutally attacked. She gave Rurutani an elaborate eyepatch the day he lost his eye which he still keeps.
Enemies
Nonotano - His elder brother, while believed to be dead, is a painful and haunting figure to Rurutani even to this day. He took the lives of his family and tried to murder Rurutani as well. While he put the arrow in him, should he ever have the opportunity he would put another in him if he could.
Mysterious figure in black - A female Miqo'te clad in black who attacked Kage and cost Rurutani his left eye. While her identity is unknown to him, Rurutani would like to see her captured and brought to justice.

History/Timeline
Rurutani, following the deaths of his mother and sister, and the climactic battle with his brother, has been on the move for much of the time. He spent some months in Gridania honing his archery skills, but after feeling quite alone there, returned hom eto his native city of Ul'dah. With no job prospect he was having drinks in Ul'dah and met Kage in the Quicksand. After some discussion he felt bold enough to place a note on the Sultansworn office asking for work. His first working assignment had been to accompany Kage back to Gridania to confront a young lady who had caused some trouble in Ul'dah, though Rurutani had no idea what was happening. Upon return Kage had asked Rurutani if he was interested in becoming a Sultansworn, to which he replied that he would be.
It was after this that he met with Natalie in the Chamber of Rule and inquired about becoming a Sultansworn. She assigned Kage to be his mentor and that upon his recommendation she would allow him to attempt the trials to become one of the Sultansworn. In the midst of the training he found Kage being attacked in Pearl Lane in Ul'dah and in an attempt to save him, was struck in the face, costing him his left eye.
Soon after this attack he completed his training and is now awaiting the trials.
