A basic little bit about your character. Generic information. Where is your character often found? Out in Eorzea, or in the Quicksand? Say so here. Does your character keep up with politics, or do they not really care? Say so here. If you're in a Free Company, state it here. Height: 5 fulms 8 ilms Weight: 162 ponz Eyes: Vivid Violet Sun'ra stands at a comfortable, if not average height of 5'6. He is muscled in a distinct and particular manner that hints to a hidden vanity and a diligent self-care which belies his fiendish strength. The Miqo'te has the build of a lithe, yet muscular acrobat, aimed for durability and flexibility with a powerful back, broad shoulders, a compact waist, and long, well trained legs. The Keeper's skin is a rich dark brown and surprisingly soft and smooth to the touch; an interesting contrast to the solid and dense feeling muscle that lies beneath. He smells of night, of that indescribable tang the world takes on after the sun has set and everything is cooler; there is a hint of night-blooming jasmine, of smoke, and a touch of cinnamon aroma from the sticks he carries. His body is warm and his complexion seems to glow as if the moon shone from inside him; not brightly, not blindingly, but like an aura of warmth and vigor. The bandit's face is round with a lightly bearded chin and blood red tattoos aimed from his jawline simulate wounds. He has noticeably sharp cheekbones, the right hosting a singular silver stud piercing near the corner of his eye. Sun'ra's nose is round, the left nostril of which is pierced by twin black and fitted rings. The lips of his face are softly feminine but masculinely shaped, dark, full, and plush looking; his bottom lip, in similar fashion to his nose is accented, albeit centrally, by a single labret piercing in the form of a black fitted ring. At times his lips seem almost inviting if not for the pair of sharp fangs hinted behind them when he speaks or when teased over by tongue when looking at something he likes. The bandit's face, when idle, is forever smirking – as if he is scheming, laughing at something you don't know, but he does. His eyes are an almond shape, glassy, bright, and sit beneath long, fanned lashes and thick, split brows. The iris are an intense, vivid violet. His gaze is one that can be captivating in an unsettling way, something about his unwavering, taunting stare that may lead one to feel as though they are prey being sized up by a predator waiting in ambush. The Keeper's ears are expressive, flicking with his near every thought and emotion, then swiveling towards any sound or unseen presence. They could be considered relatively small by others in comparison and sit as triangular mounts atop either side of his head. As per a lot of the Miqo'te's other features, they are pierced; the right outfitted with twin black rings at the center of the outer edge, while the left possesses a line of small, glittering diamond studs from base to tip. Sun'ra's hair and fur is conspicuously dense, the strands thick, and texture wavy. Its hue is of a sky blue color, though in certain light can give the appearance of leaning more towards the silver spectrum. Pastel pink highlights are seamlessly blended into the strands, the overall effect highly reminiscent of cotton candy. The bandit wears it away from his face with flat, roughly cut, feather-like layers moving towards his nape, though a few, unmanaged bangs and tufts are left free to make their appearance. The Keepers' lush, puffy tail follows his hair's color scheme though to a lesser degree - the pink strands and highlights not as prominent, only really becoming noticeable to any who cares upon close inspection. His hands are large, his dexterous fingers long, and both lack the smooth softness of the rest of him. Instead, they are rough, his knuckles, palms, and digits noticeably scarred and conditioned to being smashed into faces, or cut by various forms and practice of knife play. All of his fingers end in sharp half an ilm long claws which by no means are strangers from finding themselves embedded into the flesh of others when caught without weapon. A blurb about how your character usually is when first meeting someone. A blurb about how your character acts once they get to know someone better. Flaws ■ Unscrupulous: Sun'ra does whatever he feels will best get him what him wants in that moment. It is not that he lacks a conscience or moral compass, but that he actively ignores it in his pursuit of his current goal. Pain and suffering caused by him or as a result of his actions is either reveled in, or offhandedly dismissed as being "nothing personal." There is no such thing as "fair" in his mind, and the idea of a "fair fight" is a concept that is beyond his understanding. ■ ': ■ ': Fears ■ Claustrophobia: ■ ■ Talents ■ Sleight of hand, Sticky fingers, and overall Thievery: Sun'ra has near silent footsteps to sneak up on people without them noticing, a surgeon's precision in removing rings and bracelets with the first handshake, and the deft quickness to make valuables disappear as if vanishing into thin air. His highly practiced talents have been, and continue to be a necessity in his daily life. ■ Vocal mimicry and Ventriloquism: Sun'ra can accurately imitate nearly any person's or animal's voice after hearing them speak for a few minutes. The more time he spends around a person, the more accurately he can reproduce not only the specific sound of their voice, but also the intricacies of their speech patterns and habits. The Keeper can also manipulate the sound so as to make it seem to be coming from elsewhere, such as from around a corner to lure a target into an ambush, or say, summon an angry beast mother, suddenly under the impression her young is being attack. ■ Habitual Liar: Lying to not only get out of trouble, but to simply survive has been a way of life for the Miqo'te for as far back as he can remember. Lying about even the simplest and most obvious of matters is second nature to him, and fabrications along with misinformation can fly from his lips with such genuine passion and ease that even the most astute of individuals tend to have trouble determining his facts from fiction. Quirks ■ Taste: Sun'ra is drawn to particularly bitter, sour tasting, and intensely flavored things. He likes any meal he has to be drowning in spices, and will eat lemons(including the rinds), ginger roots, cinnamon sticks, and other such edibles as random snacks when available. ■ Touch: Sun'ra is not accustomed to soft or gentle touches, and the lack of knowledge regarding how to respond to them, or their purpose in general, has in time been warped into dislike. He can only really process affection towards and from others through pain or rough contact. ■ Speech: Has a very particular accent and way of speaking. For example, words beginning with "CA/KA" are spoken with a "KYA", words beginning with "H" often have that letter eliminated, words with an "O" sound at the beginning are often made with an "A" sound instead, and words beginning with a "TH", often have the "H" sound eliminated. Sun'ra's voice claim for both speaking and singing is: Gyptian Preferences Hobbies ■ Criminal Pursuits: Sun'ra can often be found practicing lock-picking, pick-pocketing, and the various uses for sleight of hand deception. Sometimes he will pick a building's lock just to see if he can with no intention of actually making his way inside. Pick-pocketing is second nature to him, and he will often unconsciously find himself plucking a gil purse from the unassuming while in the middle of conversation. For sleight of hand, he is known for setting up next to merchant stalls and luring in others for various con games such as three-card monte and cup-and-balls. Less predatory applications of this talent include card flourishing, close-up magic, and various other gimmicks for the purpose of drawing in gil. ■ Social Butterfly: Even though Sun'ra gains the most satisfaction from violent, or otherwise antagonistic interactions, even he is aware that not everything has to revolve around taking advantage of another. Sometimes, he finds that it is just nice to simply be amongst the people in a more simplistic manner. Whether this means taking a break to chew the fat with whomever happens to share a tavern table with him, or simply going to wherever large groups of people are congregating and soaking up the vibrant energy of the atmosphere; either tends to recharge his mental and emotional energy reserves. ■ Random Acts of Kindness: While Sun'ra makes an effort to ignore his conscience whenever possible, sometimes feelings of compassion and empathy grow a bit too heavy for the man to ignore. Feeding the homeless in some of the seedier back alleys of Ul'dah, temporarily caring for strays in Limsa Lominsa, and creating homeopathic remedies for some of the lesser, yet still painful maladies that may be afflicting those he happens to interact with are his more regular calling cards. Though he does not put effort into pretending these things are secret, he neither mentions, nor partakes in them, or similarly kind acts while in the company of others. Likes ■ Bright and vibrant colors. ■ Extorting people. ■ Knives and other sharp objects. Dislikes ■ Pessimistic or needlessly negative people. ■ Authority figures and laws in general. ■ Impatience and hot-headed behavior in others. Favorites ■ Favorite Color: Vivid Violet ■ Favorite Food: Anything particularly bitter, spicy, or sour. ■ Favorite Drink: Water. ■ Favorite Scent: Burning wood, blood, and baked goods. ■ Favorite Place: Anywhere outdoors with view of a night sky.
