Character

General

Saachi had been locked away from the world by an overly protective, mentally deteriorating father who wanted to keep her safe from “monsters” and other things he thought might hurt her or take her away from him. She grew up extremely sheltered with only books about famous heroes and legends to keep her company. It’s those books that inspired her to become “a hero” herself and a bad deal gone wrong for her father that allowed her to escape into the world to do so.

Appearance

Saachi is very short for an elezen (whether this is because she’s “half-elezen/half-hyur” or just because she’s short I haven’t decided yet). However, short for an elezen still means pretty tall in this world. She’s 6’0”. She has sort of a dark tanned skin tone and straight, green hair as well as ears that are also fairly short for an elezen. She tends to switch between four very common facial expressions: Confused, Curious, Excited and Sad. She’s around 20 years old, but her naïve, curious, new-to-the-world behavior often makes her seem much younger than that.

Behavior

Having been sort of kept away from the rest of the world in a small place in Gridania, Saachi’s interactions with other people are often very awkward. She loves meeting new people and is very easily emotionally swept away when someone does something she thinks is particularly kind of “heroic”. She also becomes unspeakably delighted when she think she’s done something for someone or for the world that she thinks will have a meaningfully positive effect. It’s very important to her that she try to live her life in the same fashion that noble, adventurous characters that were illustrated in her favorite books would behave. She’s extremely excitable, but also a little nervous meeting people she’s in awe of (stuttering and coughing nervously during the course of conversation). Having heard about how these great heroes went out and saved Eorzea and no one remembers their names, she’s begun to feel it’s her personal quest to learn more about it. It’s a great and terrible shame to her that they be forgotten to time and she means to uncover the truth and give them the recognition they deserve while simultaneously trying to become as heroic a character to the world as they were. She’s a bit socially slow at times, not recognizing when someone is just being kind to her or when someone is trying to hit on her… since such interactions are new to her. This unfortunately means that she’s rather easy to manipulate since she, by default, just assumes the best of people and their intentions. It also means that most social interactions are odd and when they fail for reasons that are inexplicable to her she is not only sad but also extremely confused.

Combat

General

Saachi wants to be a great, powerful and compassionate warrior (paladin) who wears shining armor, protects people with shield and sword and blocks the horrors of the world from innocent people… The similarities between her desires and her father’s desire to protect HER are not lost on her but does nothing to change her opinion that she wants to be a protective force of good. She’s learned recently, however, that she has a particular affinity with healing magic. She never really thought much about how she’d like to learn to heal others- instead focusing on how she needed to become strong enough with a sword to protect others- but having become acquainted with this talent she’s learned to love it and is happy that it gives her another opportunity for taking care of others. ((Saachi is gunning for both paladin and white mage, though I think I will be most comfortable playing white mage in battle and RPing the paladin angle…))

Tendencies

Likes

  • Heroes, fairy tales, plays, legends, historical records of great figures, songs about such things
  • Opportunities to prove she’s capable of becoming a figure in a tale, play, legend, history book or song
  • Meeting people whose stories precede them. Basically, anyone with a great story to tell about something amazing that they did. That…happens to be a lot of people.
  • Honey, cinnamon, tomatoes, and fish.
  • Learning about plants
  • Talented people in general. If someone has a talent and shows it off she’s smitten by them (not necessarily romantically)
  • Heavy armor, weapons of any sort

Dislikes

  • Monsters, “villains”, thugs, bandits, mean people in general
  • Anything that insults her pride. Despite all the innocence and cuteness there… she has a wrathful, proud, temper.
  • Large insect type creatures. If the insect has more than 6 legs it must die immediately.
  • Mirrors in her room. They scare her beyond reason.
  • Laziness
  • The constant confusion that hounds her in this world.

Other

  • She’s on a quest to protect her father. He used to be a hero of sorts himself and she looks up to him. But with the loss of his wife (who may or may not be her mother and who she doesn’t remember at all), his mind slowly started to go because he was unable to hang to the one thing he wanted to hang on to more than all others… but at least he had Saachi.

His association with criminal types “back in the day” recently found him drinking and gambling with them again as his mind turns darker and darker. But a deal gone wrong with a relatively powerful criminal found thugs and dangerous types at his doorstep blackmailing him for cash. Saachi overheard the last exchange and, leaving a note for her father (since he’d never have let her leave on her own) she broke out of her home and ran away to either 1) get the money to pay her father’s debts or 2) find out who this criminal is he owes money to and defeat him. She does not realize that her departure has made her father’s already evident mental downslide become rapidly more prominent and that she if she becomes this “great hero of legend” that she wants to become that it’s quite likely her father will be the great villain she faces at the end.

Relationships

Family

Her father, Aban. She wants to protect him. There is some “thing” that his enemies have on him related to her and though she doesn’t know what it is- she figures that her absence will protect him more than her sticking around. He was once a noted philanthropist and “hero”—though no one is talking much about that these days…

Friends

Until recently: no one. But she’s started a few friendly relationships here and there including with Kalen Cook, Dovan Dracht all the members of the Golden Sands.
