Zevet is a particularly diminutive Seeker, standing at a grand and impressive height of 4 fulms, 11 ilms... however, what he lacks in height he makes up for in appearance. Silky black hair and a dark complexion bring out the striking, luminous gold of the miqo'te's almond-shaped eyes, and rounded leonine ears serve to compliment the delicate angles of his face-- which boasts glossed lips that are quick to hitch themselves into a charming smile. He's lithe and toned, a spoken being meant by the Twelve to run and hunt for bells beneath the hot sun... but in place of a hunter's calloused hands are precise, dexterous ones made for tending wounds and working with even the most difficult of ingredients.
■ Scars & Markings: Zevet has two dark, naturally occurring 'tiger' stripes on either side of his face (in addition to his miqo'te eye markings).
■ Voice: Pleasant and velvety, very lightly accented. Voice claim is Sam Heughan.
■ Clothing: Silks, silks, and more silks. Most of Zevet's outfits consist of high quality Doman and Thavnairian silks of all colors and patterns draped and wrapped about his person, boleros, sheer sarouels or calf-length pants, and sandals. However, with Zevet, one can't wear silks without plenty of gold and jewels-- the Seeker is often adorned with a plethora of delicate gold chains, rings, bangles, the occasional gold-framed spectacles, earrings, hair accessories, anklets, navel and nipple rings, gold henna-like body paints, and... well. You get the idea.
'Zevet, if you weigh two ponze, one-and-a-half of that is sass.'
Personality
Zevet is, without a doubt, a remarkably warm-hearted spoken being. Quick to smile and easy to laugh, the Seeker is the type to greet strangers with enthusiasm rather than skepticism and offer help where he can. While certainly very sensitive and overly emotional at times, things tend to roll quickly off his back and he's heavily inclined toward forgiveness (he actually struggles with staying justifiably angry) rather than holding grudges. However, when pushed, treated with hostility, or faced with passive aggression (or just plain stubbornness), Zevet can be confrontational and incredibly sarcastic, retaliating with a healthy dose of sass and smartassery. When it comes to particularly infuriating passive aggression or hard-headed stubbornness, he tends to be a bit relentless in forcing the issue (for better or worse). Additionally, he possesses a weird sense of humor, a commendable flair for mischief, and utilizes a rather creative vocabulary at times. Zevet tends to shy away from the idea of violence and combat, preferring the aforementioned sass and smartassery, but he's very much capable of defending himself when absolutely necessary.

Positive/Friendly RP Hooks
■ Zevet is a very friendly, empathetic mother-hen type. If a character is crying, in distress, looks hungry, or is wounded, he is very likely to come to their aid (though he is not a white-knight and will not be invasive)... and gently mother them, offer to buy or make them something to eat, or tend their wounds. ... And then feed them. They are now his baby chick.
■ In the same vein, Zevet is a witchy healer type-- he often carries visible tonics, potions, and elixirs on his belt or person. He can be asked for aid, or about these concoctions!
■ Zevet has a strong love for fashion, jewelry, and general finery. He can be freely approached with commentary on his outfits!
Negative/Hostile Hooks
■ As mentioned before, Zevet has a love for finery and tends to wear excessive amounts of jewelry, or otherwise appear wealthy. He is a potential target for pick-pocketing or having one of his necklaces/etc snatched! (Please PM me first!) Be aware, though, that he's not the type to meekly stand by or simply shout for help if the thief is caught! He's capable of throwing a mean punch or worse from his potion belt... not to mention all the thieves he himself associates with.

Beruht'a is Zevet's husband, best friend, and the love of his life. The two have been through many a near-death experience together, grieved together... but they've also known domestic bliss, unadulterated joy, and genuine affection at eachothers' sides.
Zevet met Conor under rather dire circumstances, though after the Keeper's wounds were treated and the dust settled, Zevet immediately took to the rough-and-tumble thief and the two became fast friends and, eventually, something a bit more than just friends.
Lhei'li is Beruht'a's cousin and one of Zevet's closest friends, with Lhei'li having worked alongside Zevet during his time in the Manticore crew. While sometimes frustrated by Lhei'li's brattiness, Zevet cares deeply about the Keeper and is always happy to see him.
Zevet really likes Zhen, even though sometimes he also wants to punch him for being so frustrating. He's a very loyal soul, and at his core he really does care a lot about others... and Zevet really respects this.
Kei is an old friend of Zevet's from his time in the Manticore crew, and while he certainly doesn't... quite fully trust her, he does tend to enjoy her company and the two often playfully flirt.
Zevet met Kate during his time with the Manticores, and while he definitely finds a few things about the midlander a bit... worrisome, he's quite fond of her. They both share a deep love for gold and for gossip.
Tohk was, for a brief time, Captain of the Manticores before the crew dissolved. Zevet has always been very fond of Tohk, even when they've butted heads, and he regards her fairly highly.
RC is another one of Zevet's closest friends, the two are often found cracking lewd jokes and planning ridiculous pranks. Zevet met RC during his time with the Manticores.
Though they've only just recently met, Zevet has taken a liking to this curious Keeper-- he even invited him to play Shroud-style drums at his wedding!
Syrena is still just an acquaintance of Zevet's, but the two have run into each other a few times while the dancer was working in Ul'dah and he absolutely adores her bodypaints.
Zevet knows Lafeyette through Conor and he thinks she is the most precious person he's ever met in his entire life and really, really wants to befriend her.
Sun is... well. He gives Zevet the creeps, but he's also one of Conor's good friends-- at this point he's just doing his best to be pleasant with and tolerate him.

◢ Common Rumors - Easily overheard. Use these freely!
■ "Zevet? He used to be a high-end courtesan, you know. And I mean courtesan, not whore. The real deal."
■ "I swear he's so much older than he lets on, but it's impossible to get it out of him."
■ "He used to be one of the Manticores-- you know, the ones they called Drake's Bane. Ruthless privateers, they were-- grew fat and dandy off of all the sky pirates that fell under their blades. I think he may have been one of their field medics?"
■ "... Are those vials of acid on his belt?"
◢ Uncommon Rumors -A little more difficult to hear. Use sparingly or ask first!
■ "I hear he brewed up some pretty nasty poisons when he worked for those privateers. I swear I've seen him carrying around acid grenades, too!"
■ "I've seen him hanging all over that big, rough looking drug dealer in the Lane more than once..."
■ "His husband used to be one of his clients, you know."
◢ Rare Rumors -Very rarely overheard. Please ask before using!
■ "... Wasn't he that blacksmith's kit? The one they had working the forge before his tail even grew out?"

◢ Player Character Rumors -Feel free to add rumors of your own!
■ I will play mature content and themes (violence, drug / alcohol use) as long as they're logical in a plot-driven encounter. Coarse and excessive language. Temporary injury. Descriptive medical scenes. Most walk-up encounters.
■ Ask about long-term and/or permanent injury and disfigurement. Long-term captivity or imprisonment (this is a HIGHLY unlikely RP topic). Incapacitation. Temporary imprisonment. Sexual themes (usually fine!).
■ I won't play permanent character death or rape/abuse plots in any capacity. The latter is an absolute hard stop for me and I will drop plotlines.
Disclaimer
■ If an aspect of RP makes you uncomfortable in a scene we're playing, please send me a /tell, letting me know. Communication is very important, more important than potentially keeping immersion.
