Appearance

Though short for a male Au Ra, in most other ways, Altai looks like a fairly typical Xaela in his early 20's. Ink blue hair tied back in a braid, brown eyes with gold limbal rings, and dark skin compose his most obvious physical traits. However, those close enough to see him without sleeves would likely note the thick rope scars winding up his arms.Most recently, Altai sustained electrical burns that left him with branching scars over his hands and back, making him more likely to stay covered.His sense of style tends toward comfortable embellishment. Most of his loose tunics are threaded with embroidery, and he can seldom be found without some kind of jewelry though nothing he wears looks over expensive. He seems particularly proud of a glass earring and a delicate anklet....

Background

Altai doesn't wear much of his history on his sleeve, but there are a few facts and rumors that may have become common. He has been working as an adventurer in Limsa for the last two years or so, making a name for himself there. He has a reputation as a stalwart if quiet defender well-suited to team missions and dangerous combat.For the last year, he has worked as a house manager with the Ember Adventuring Company. Altai spends much of his time either working for the EAC or resting at their headquarters in Mist these days.Rumor has it, he might also be growing a home of his own. He can occasionally be seen out and about with two infant miqote, his daughters, or with his lovers, Isander and Tsetseg.In the Steppe, Altai is also relatively well known among those who frequent Reunion. They would know him as a devotee of Nhaama and former resident of Dalamiq. Rumor tells he has been cast out, though the whys and hows of his disappearance remain unclear.Members of the Dalamiq or Tumet tribes are liable to know much more about him--please feel free to reach out for more information!

Limsa

Adventurer's Reputation -
Do you have a job that needs doing? Altai tends to be a great fit for any team that needs more defense, and has been known to pick up a very broad array of jobs indeed. Though... he has been a little more absent from the field of late.Officer EAC -
Altai can usually be found at the Ember Adventuring Company. His presence there probably gives him a strong connection to that guild and to Telriah d'Aurelstar.Servant of the Moon -
Altai has a knack for knowing things he shouldn't... Does he really learn things from dreams? He might space out nearby and know something about your childhood you never told anyone, or something about the future yet to come...

Steppe

Formerly of Dalamiq -
Rumor has it that he caused some kind of trouble in Dalamiq recently, though he grew up there. Something to do with the old vision caverns, the last remnants of Dalamud and an angry old priest. Perhaps your character knows more?Nhaama's Devotee -
Steppe-dwellers will likely recognize the embriodery and charms Altai tends to wear as symbols of Nhaama, more commonly worn by her acolytes. He doesn't seem like much of an udgan though...Tumet? -
It's relatively well known in Reunion and Dalamiq that Altai's technical tribe name was Tumet. What happened to lead him to Dalamiq? Perhaps your character knows...

Gridania

Stirring up Trouble -
Though Altai is relatively unknown in Gridania, someone matching his description previously caused a good deal of unrest in the underground and might be of interest to roguish types and harried Adders....Unruly -
He may be of interest to those with strong connections to the conjuer's guild after a recent run in with a padjal he disagreed with.

Significant Others

Isander Idaliah - Dearly beloved member of the EAC's staff, competent adventurer and good friend to many. Isander is haunted, but Altai cannot help but love his kind heart more than life itself.

Tsetseg Mol - This young man, who didn't fit in on the steppe holds more secrets than it may first appear... Tsetseg is sly and quick with a good quip or an easy joke, and he and Altai are endlessly devoted to one another.

Friends and Contacts

Telriah Aurelstar - Close friend and confidant. Head of the house and legacy of Aurelstar. Leader of the EACEden Tsurugi - Proprietor of the Higanbana Apothecary and Tea Shop, and dear soul.T'saia Lua - An up and coming healer with a passionate sense of justice.Tielo Verast - A fellow EAC member with sensibility and good humor.
