[edit] Story Skills History Relationships Rumors Screenshots Artwork Miscellaneous G E N E R A L Zanzan Yanzan is an aspiring adventurer and Thaumaturge. The son of a Dunefolks Lalafell, Ixion Quintox, and a Plainsfolk Lalafell, Oboju Noboju, two experienced mages which contributed to Zanzan's natural talent for magic. Born and raised in La Noscea, he lived among a lively and diverse environment with people of far-reaching cultures which in turn fed into his curiosity of the world and his open and welcoming demeanor after his experience with individuals from different walks of life. His life was relatively normal though worry came to his family when he began to show an unstable connection to the aether which began his training in the art of magic as a way to control it. However, his family's life took a turn as the Calamity hit, resulting in the death of Oboju during Zanzan's earlier years. Currently, he travels and explores the world, aiding any in search of need all the while taking up contracts to support himself and his family, and previously before, underneath the colors of the Maelstrom Command. He hopes that one day he'd be able to settle down and find a new place for his family but currently, lives on the path of the road. However, he'll never stop in making Eorzea and the lands beyond a safe home for all. Appearance and Other Attributes A Lalafell of average height with wild, earthy brown hair. The most unique of his features are his green and blue eyes which are shared yet reversed with his twin sister. He often wears a warm and welcoming expression, meeting everyday with a smile. Sometimes refers to himself as "dashing". Many may assume that the Lalafell is young, if his appearance did not confuse the non-popotos already, due to his lively demeanor though his deeper and smoother voice immediately betrays that initial thought. He speaks with a light La Noscean accent (common in seafaring folk) though his usual manner of speaking is closer to that of a traveling bard, possibly contributed by his love for story-telling, poetry and extensive book reading. He commonly wears a large, weathered coat, which is interiorly lined with scales for added protection, hiding most of his physical features if his hat (or hats) hadn't accomplished that in the first place. Behavior An open, friendly, and welcoming individual, greeting most individuals like friends, even if they were total strangers, a most commonly observed trait he had adopted from being raised by his Limsan father. However, this does not mean his is easily swayed and is naturally perceptive to emotions and behaviors which may be contributed by his curious and observant nature. He approaches most jobs with overwhelming optimism, at least, openly. While he has child-like energy, he meets most occasions with maturity and respect. Though that isn't to say that the Lalafell isn't completely in control of his emotions. One may find him stubborn in his philosophies and does not hold back on his expression of emotions whether display of sorrow relating to uselessness or one of anger due to dishonesty shown by his peers.

Worn to this day. Horn Necklace made by Qara Hotgo. Qara has a shyness to her that was worse when she was a teen. So, to get noticed by boys, she wore that necklace thinking it would help. It's made of goat horn, but has been sanded and polished down so that the horn segments are smooth to the touch. Each segment is roughly square, and has a string running through tiny drilled holes. The string is tightly-woven wool yarn. A single segment on the back is cut in two, and has a simple metal hooking clasp that allows the necklace to be removed. Worn to this day. An Old, Black Magi Hat passed down to Zanzan by his father, Oboju. It has crumpled with age, permanently retaining and misshapen state though its mysterious enchantment has far from faded away. Either worn or hanging off his back by a strap. A Lalafell-sized Knife crafted by Kiht Jakkya and is made of a bluish crystal, and sharp as a razor. It’s built narrow, and has a single edge, but the back bears the ridges of a tactical knife. The blade comes to a very narrow, keen tip. The knife can cut, but is clearly built to help stabbing. The hilt is made of some polished Rosewood with a steel guard and pommel. Carved on the hilt is the symbol of a Panda. The contrasting colors of such an animal are the only parts of the hilt that are painted. The sheath is made of smooth Gigantoad hide that will allow the knife to be drawn quietly when pulled. Strapped behind his belt for quick access and low-profile. Platinum Bracelet crafted as a promise of devotion, love, and loyalty between the persons that wears its twin. It sported a polished and woven design with two platinum bands interlacing with one another like a silk ribbon. R U M O R S   &   R E C O R D S ◢ C o m m o n R u m o r s - Easily found.
