T'rahven Tia
[edit]
T'rahven Tia has always been something of a outsider. He spent most of his early years living outside of any meaningful form of civilization. He was born into a splinter group of the T tribe deep in the Sagolii desert. When he was around five years old, the tribe was betrayed from within, and was captured by bandits. Whether they were going to be sold into slavery or taken to the Amalj'aa, he never knew. However, T'rahven managed to escape by the skin of his teeth, and retreat deeper into the desert. Since the, T'rahven has discovered that there may be some other survivors, and is determined to track them down.
Shortly after his escape, T'rahven was discovered by an Ala Mhigan monk named Raveem. Raveem offered T'rahven protection and safety, in exchange for becoming his pupil; a deal which T'rahven agreed to. It quickly became apparent to T'rahven that Raveem was something of a radical, even for Ala Mhigan standards, as his teaching was very nontraditional. T'rahven was prevented from even approaching a city until he was 17, and was often left on his own in the wilderness for weeks at a time. Despite his increasing dislike for the training, it served T'rahven well, forging him into a wilderness survival expert and accomplished fighter. When T'rahven turned 20, he decided this life wasn't for him anymore, and he wanted nothing to do with Raveem's one man crusade. So, when he got the opportunity, he bolted, forging his own life for himself as a mercenary and explorer. After a few months of wandering, T'rahven joined up with an adventuring company called "The Outriders", and has been happy working with them ever since. After a couple months with the Outriders, Raveem managed to track him down, and demanded T return himself for his "final trial". To protect his new friends, T accepted the challenge, and returned to the place they first met. It was there T learned the truth; Raveem intended to use his aether to open more chakra points. In his rage, T managed to slay his former master, and finally free himself. Since then, T has managed to reconnect with the true Fists of Rhalgr, and has been learning the truth about being a monk. Between them and the Outriders, T is ready to forge his life into something he can be proud of.
Despite T'rahven's history with living in the wilderness, he has managed to maintain at least a decent appearance. He is tall for a Miqo'te, not much shorter then the average Hyur. His hair and fur are both a deep brown, and his eyes are a bright yellow. He has a deep scar on his lower left cheek, though he does a lot to keep it from standing out. T'rahven usually sports the signature Cyclas of the Fists, though he can occasionally be found in a training outfit of a blue leather vest that exposes his chest. This is generally when he doesn't want to damage his Cyclas or doesn't want to be outed as a monk. His voice has a slightly deep twinge to it, and is often filled with energy, reflecting his high spirits and optimism. T is also missing his left ring finger, a sacrifice he made to make up for a mistake that nearly cost his best friend her arm. He also has a scar on his solar plexus that appears to have been caused by a serious stab wound.
Despite T'rahven's less than stellar upbringing, you'd never be able to tell it at a first glance. T'rahven is constantly chipper and upbeat, despite just about everything. His friends have even come to know him for his familiar Cheshire Cat grin when he's either particularly excited or amused. While not the most talkative around strangers, T'rahven is quick to laugh and quicker to retort when in the sole company of friends. You know when you are in T'rahven's good books when he can converse with you without seeming quiet or uncomfortable.
T'rahven's upbeat personality also transfers over to his actions while adventuring. Incredibly enthusiastic about adventures, T'rahven is often the first to volunteer and the first one out the door at the mere mention of an Outrider assignment. While in a serious combat he does focus himself and become more subdued, its often covering a layer of enjoyment and thrill. While T's negative emotions were once solely controlled by his traumatic past, he has slowly been learning to open up to a wider range of emotions, becoming a more well rounded individual. However, T is still getting over the worst of it, and can occasionally express intense negative emotion in an uncontrolled way. Fortunately, it is not longer just rage, as it once used to be. However, with the help of his friends, T has been learning to properly control his emotions, rather then just forcing them down.
