INTRO TEXT

Appearance

After his long journey throughout Eorzea, Scaith appears somewhat shaggy haired but comfortable in his own skin. Clean shaven and standing tall, he makes for a slightly imposing stature with his dark, guarded, eyes and small scars along his face. He has Brownish and russet hair, and has been known to wear clothing of the monk order, though other times prefers something that is easier to move in while under shadows.

History

Around 6 months old, Scaith was found on the shores of the Mist by an elderly Hyuran couple. Finding themselves at a loss for what to do and having never had a family of their own, they decided to take the tiny babe home with them and make him their son. The boy grew fast, finding his racial traits aiding his time in the tiny village and made fast friends with almost everyone he met. With a pure heart, he never seemed phased by the questions on why he was different from the other Hyurans around him or the teasing for his fluffy ears and tawny tail, only ever giving an amused grin or a feisty retort. Scaith's family were part of the Summerford fishing association and over time, his adopted father would take him into the larger cities for trading or gathering supplies for their home. Wide eyed, Scaith was eager and always excited to see the other species, even those of his own, often begging his father for time to speak to the Miqo'te representatives of the La Noscean areas or books of lore. By the age of 18, he was fluent in the tongues of all known species of the city-states and had started taking over trading for his now aged parents, caring for them now as they had once for him. In the following winter though, a severe sickness had spread through the village, taking his friends and parents as bedridden. Unknowing in the ways of medicine, Scaith struck out for the main city of Limsa, seeking an apothecary or the leading healers in town. Arriving at the main gates, he was struck at how different the bigger city was to his little village or the small towns he'd helped in, finding the experience jarring and at times crude for the young boy as he made his way through the hawkers alley to the potionsmaster. Finally, potions in hand for his home, he quickly returned to the house and sadly found that in the time he'd been gone, his parents had passed and a rival fishing family had taken the land for their own. Now without family, friends, or a home, Scaith headed out through the land, first stopping at the nearby tribe of the Miqo'te to speak to them about possible leads on his biological family. Sadly there was no knowledge of his family name, so the young male now found himself working out of any ship or mercenary band that would have him. In what felt the blink of an eye, ten years had passed by and the strapping youth was now a hardened warrior, learned in the ways of war, the land, and the world. More wary of those about him and feeling the weight of adulthood, he once more found himself on the borders of the La Noscean lands and seeking a new home for himself near the water.

Personality

Quiet and reserved at first, Scaith is wary of those around him in the big cities and even medium crowds. If given time though, he can open up and be one of the most loyal and helpful friends ever. He usually will just smile or give small sentences if asked anything, or if you're a close associate, he's more likely to be chattery and upbeat.
