Ziuz'a Nelhah

[This is a HUGE Work in Progress!]

[edit] Details Personality Relationships Rumors Gallery OOC Notes A Brief History of Ziuz'a Ziuz'a Nelhah is the illegitimate son of X'irho Nunh and Ziuz Nelhah. Once born, there was large debate of whether or not they'd end him there or not due to the nature of his birth, but one of the clan elders at the time, Haru Amariyo had felt if Ziuz continued the pregnancy to full-term, it would be unfair to kill the child without giving him a chance. Shunned by his mother during day one, this same elder took him in - often at the criticism of her peers to care for the boy until he could walk and talk. Often times, Ziuz'a was told to remain up during the day and do some chores for her, figuring that he wouldn't remain with the clan and needn't be up at night, business tends to go on in the morning in the cities. Festering up inside of Haru was the fact her kin thought lesser of her by tending to the young man, giving him a fair chance. But time went on, and she continued to reluctantly teach the young boy. By age five, Ziuz'a was taught, superficially, how to fend for himself - kill small animals with a blade, pick fruit ready to be eaten. There was very little chance of survival for him, the morning Haru had kicked him from her home and shown him the way to Thanalan where he may have had more luck with refugees and the kindness of strangers. From then on, Ziuz'a was alone, his cute demeanor his only tool at finding the kindness of strangers. Fast forward years later, Ziuz'a found himself in the lively city of Ul'dah, stealing bread by day and lurking Pearl Lane to pick-pocket unfortunate drunks who'd stumble out the wrong side of the Quicksand. It wasn't an honest life at the age of eight, but it was what kept him alive. To preoccupy his time between two of his favorite activities, Ziuz'a would hang around the Pugilist's Guild and watch them practice along their striking dummies, striking up conversations with some of the folk that were there and studying their movements. Sometimes he would even go outside the walls to practice what they were doing, and while it was not close to the level of the Pugilist students, Ziuz'a had plenty of the techniques down. Thankfully, one day a member of the guild suggested Ziuz'a start working there - and the Guild came up with a very wonderful 'salary' for Ziuz'a. It was enough to get some food in him every day and new clothing, and there was even a little area he could sleep. It wasn't the most comfortable of situations, but it worked for him. Throughout the cycles, he'd even picked up some trades, namely weaving cloth together to make a simple shirt, cook a meal from little ingredients. Anything that could save him some money. At age fifteen, Ziuz'a finally become a member of the Pugilist Guild on top of working there, it'd been some time now that he could afford a room at the Inn and luckily his savings hadn't been blown yet. Studying under them had him ripe for the picking for a mercenary group, and several cycles later when his skills were honed, the Miqo'te roamed around with a band of mercenaries he'd grown to enjoy - fishing trips and hunts were the norm, but it'd only be a little less than seven moons before their little band had broken up and Ziuz'a went on his own. From there, Ziuz'a worked for several different Free Companies and often frequented the Quicksand, a place he'd come to loathe in his maturing. Skills as a pugilist and a craftsmen came in handy to save money and prove his usefulness, and time had shown Ziuz'a was a bit of a perfectionist in whatever he'd picked up or it'd eat at him through the day. Many sleepless nights came at the expense of some of his friends who'd had the misfortune of offering to teach him, as he wouldn't let them leave until he had done it better. This Ziuz'a, however, also sought trouble. Arguments with company mates, fights at the Quicksand that saw him almost lose an eye and a loved one, all culminating into having his first child and realizing life wasn't truly about picking fights, drinking whiskey and chasing tail, and was likely his first step to actually maturing. Wanting a better life for his son, L'Shun Shinozaki-Nelhah, Ziuz'a went to found his own company which was able to grow with the help of his business partner Rhotdornn Hyrtfyrsyn. Present day Ziuz'a, the one who's more calm and with a much better head on his shoulders had finally settled down with his lovely, adventurous wife, Morrigan Levau. Despite the many heart-attacks she gives him due to her danger-seeking nature, Ziuz'a is very much in love with her perhaps more than even she would realize. Combat While Ziuz'a isn't the most fearsome-looking of foes, he possesses a versatility to his combat style. Swift strikes and the ability to adapt his fighting style to his foe is what allowed the Miqo'te survival in his past battles, and something he ensures himself to work on every day. Ziuz'a main style of fighting is pugilism, hand-to-hand and close-quarters battle being his forte. Speed and athleticism allow him to leverage larger foes, and the strong sweeps of his leg could make even the largest of Roegadyn fall on their backs, vulnerable to a much more ferocious attack their. Though he's never had to use it, Ziuz'a is an avid fan of submission holds, locking arms and legs in ways they shouldn't be held until his opponent is subdued, whether that be them passing out, giving up, or simply breaking whatever may be in said lock. To this day, Ziuz'a still studies these holds in the case of breaking them out. Taught by Val Nunh is his second favorite method of fighting, pugilism with the twist of daggers. While at first he'd struggle to figure out how to use them properly and had a bad habit of sending a straight jab rather than a curved slash, Val was able to break the habit after some sessions and expand on his fighting style. Though the two haven't spoken much over the cycles, something Ziuz'a wishes to rectify one day, he still prides himself in having Val as his mentor. A relatively new style of his fighting, the avid engineer learned his way around a gun. After tinkering with so many airships and weaponry, it was only right that he'd find himself into the wonderful world of ranged combat. While not a deadeye shot at the moment, Ziuz'a's skill with his favorite revolver are certainly leagues above what they'd been when he was just a novice - even incorporating flash grenades among other projectiles to give him the upper hand in a long-ranged battle. Appearance Ziuz'a doesn't have the most physically dominating of appearances, but it isn't to say he's the weakest individual out there. In fact, the Miqo'te works out quite often, an athletic body and toned muscles fit him more than size does. Standing at five foot, four ilms, the Miqo'te utilizes the natural strength of his legs and leverage to catch people off balance, and his sheer speed leaves many foes guessing his next move. A sun-kissed complexion accents his features, both with a light natural tan and the rest of it being credited to shining sun of Shirogane. Aspects That Stand Out: ■ Two scars across nose. ■ Scar on chin. ■ Tribal markings on cheeks. ■ Tribal tattoos along the right side of his body, down to his waist and down his right shoulder. ■ Right eye is golden, left eye is a sky blue. PERSONALITY Ziuz'a is calm to the point of laziness, nothing really seems to bother him and often times he could be found napping on his favorite bench in the yard, or sprawled out on a towel down at the beach for most of his off-days. A Limsan accent compliments his more 'rough' and at times, intimidating demeanor - but rest assured, the man is one who enjoys to joke around and drink whiskey with a couple of good friends around a table. On top of this, Ziuz'a is a very devoted father and husband, putting his wife and children before anything and often with them in mind to influence any decision that he makes. L I K E S ■ Whiskey. Ziuz'a's drink of choice when at a bar. ■ Relaxing & Napping. What better to do during your day? ■ Moogles. Who can hate those adorable little things? ■ Limsa Lominsa.

D I S L I K E S ■ Ul'dah Maybe because of his upbringing, but Ziuz'a has a great disdain for the 'Golden City' of Ul'dah. ■ Nobles Well, not all of them - you know, the snotty ones. H O B B I E S ■ Fishing Nothing better than stepping onto the sands and casting a line, wondering what the catch will be. ■ Crafting.

Living on the streets made him a quick thinker. ■ Charming. When he wants to be, Ziuz'a can tell you all you want to hear. ■ Wit. Morrigan has taught him a thing or two. W E A K N E S S E S ■ Trusting. The kindness of strangers got him here, won't it continue? ■ Lazy. What paperwork? M O T I V A T I O N S ■ Family. Making sure they have a lavish lifestyle and a wonderful life. ■ His Clan. Deep down, Ziuz'a wants them to know he's made it big.
