Yehn'za Bajhiri

[edit] Details Personality Relationships Rumors Gallery OOC Notes GENERAL INFORMATION Yehn'za Bajhiri claims to have had an uneventful childhood among his tribe deep in the Black Shroud, and rarely speaks of his past before leaving the forests to become a member of what he calls 'mostly civilized society'. Thanks to his less than impressive physical strength but significant intellect, he spent a time serving briefly as the accountant and occasional gofer of a small but well regarded free company, and eventually settled into a career as an author and essayist with a leaning towards scientific treatises. He has since paid his way in Eorzea by publishing his works or taking on occasional side jobs as a tutor or book keeper, always with the goal of furthering his own studies in mind. APPEARANCE Looking to be nearing middle age at first glance, aside from the constantly humming goggles he wears just about all the time, Yehn'za is otherwise rather average and does little to stand out in a crowd. He has no real fashion sense and doesn't care enough about the perceptions of others to bother trying to fix that, and so more often than not he can be found wearing the most common and practical outfits of whatever region he calls home at the time. An exception is made if he ever ventures somewhere cold, at which point he'll bundle up to the point of wearing four or more layers of clothing. Average in height and somewhat lean in build, Yehn'za isn't nearly as physically fit as he could be and that suits him fine, finding a good book a better use of his time than any sort of training. His gray hair is kept trimmed relatively short but is otherwise left unstyled. Perhaps his only truly distinguishing feature are the large goggles he always wears, the machinery in them constantly humming or whirring as he goes about his business. On the off chance he's seen without the device strapped to his head, his eyes look normal enough save for the occasional glint of light if viewed from certain angles. Aspects That Stand Out: ■ His goggles. Developed over a number of stages to compensate for his steadily failing eyesight, the goggles harness aether to give the man at least some semblance of vision. When in places he's familiar with they tend to be left turned off or not worn in general as he's more or less capable of getting about through eidetic memory alone, but when out and about on unfamiliar ground they hum and whirr and glow, and though they've become a necessity it's clear they cause him discomfort when used. ■ Lack of fashion sense. Yehn'za is practical to a fault, turning his nose up at trends and fads in the fashion world and wearing what he finds comfortable or useful for whatever he's doing at the time. More often than not this means simple tunics and trousers though he does have some custom tailored robes and the like for when he's working and requires ease of movement over long periods of time. Jewellery is of no use to the man and he finds the idea of earrings and such to be laughable. ■ A leatherbound notebook. The thought of an idea coming to him while away from his home or office disturbs Yehn'za to such a degree that he's taken to carrying paper and quill with him in some form at all times just in case. Most recently this has taken the form of a plain looking leather tome fastened securely to his belt that he'll often pull loose to jot down notes into the moment they enter his mind. PERSONALITY Put bluntly, Yehn'za is rude. He looks down on most everyone he meets, considering them either intellectually beneath him or outright barbaric, and doesn't hesitate to make his opinions known even if he knows full well they'll anger everyone else in the room. Those that can tolerate his haughtiness enough to get to know him on a more personal level are sometimes rewarded with meeting a far less cold side of him, where even if he remains far from warm and welcoming he can at least be personable and friendly. The man is as aware of his social shortcomings as anyone else, thankfully, and does what he can to avoid unnecessary social gatherings as a result. L I K E S ■ Working. Rarely is Yehn'za as relaxed as when he's got his nose buried in some treatise, or tinkering with some new experiment of his (much to the dismay of his partner following his accident), and he considers most non-work related activites to be complete wastes of his time. ■ Tea. Few things relax Yehn'za as much as a cup of Ul'dahn tea, and he keeps a cupboard stocked with it at all times so that he never runs out an an inopportune time. D I S L I K E S ■ Socializing. Viewing them as wastes of time, Yehn'za is loathe to spend an evening at any sort of social function even if it promises to introduce him to potential patrons and customers. He's terse and somewhat awkward whenever in a large group, spending most of his time silent or muttering over what he'd rather be doing. ■ Cold Weather. Due to several negative experiences, Yehn'za has a severe dislike for col weather of any kind. While he swears he'll never be convinced to travel any further north than the Twelveswood again, he still keeps a set of snow gear tucked away in the back of his closet. H O B B I E S ■ Reading. Though he prefers his reading to be somehow related to work, Yehn'za isn't against pleasure reading from time to time and in fact keeps a fairly sizeable library in his office. ■ Tinkering. Though he'd loathe to admit it, putting together his goggles ended up showing Yehn'za that he rather enjoyed fiddling with magitek, and occasionally he'll find some obscure piece of it to take apart and rebuild in his spare time. S T R E N G T H S ■ Intellect. Whatever you may think about his attitude or dismissive ways of speaking, Yehn'za is very smart and generally the first person to offer up a reasoned, well thought out solution to any given problem. ■ Connections. Yehn'za knows people in high places from his dealings with various noble families and the like, be it providing his services as a tutor or identifying relics and whatnot for them. He uses these links whenever he grows short on funding for whatever his current pet project is, calling in favors or doing side jobs to earn coin. W E A K N E S S E S ■ Physical Strength. Though not quite frail, Yehn'za is hardly muscular and has little to no experience when it comes to combat. More likely to hire someone to carry something heavy for him than do it himself, he's only just begun to dabble in something that may make him less of a liability on the battlefield. M O T I V A T I O N S ■ Fixing His Sight - Under normal circumstances his motivations rarely deviate from earning enough coin to continue his personal research and tinkering, but with his vision fading as it is he's switched into high gear on finding a solution that won't end up killing him, be it via magick or magitek.
