Taz'lu Rivex formerly T'azlu Tia is a Miqo'te male Seeker of the Sun Archer. He's often found trying to blend into the environment and not draw attention to himself.

Character

Appearance

Standing at about 5'7", Taz'lu is slender and well toned from his years of hunting and tracking. His skin is deeply tanned from spending long hours in the sun. Taz'lu bares standard Miqo'te markings around his odd colored eyes, the left being a bright yellow and the right being a light blue. He keeps his orange streaked black hair semi long and swept back from his face, a few strands still manage to fall loose over his forehead. Taz'lu still bares the tribal stripes that were tattooed across the sides of his face when he was young. He's also has a small scar on the left side of his chin that he can't quite recall where it came from. His ears are covered with sleek black fur, just like his tail which is tipped orange.

Behavior

Reserved in crowds and slow to trust. Taz’lu prefers to watch the world go by rather than be an active participant. In cities and towns he tends to keep to himself, conducting his business and swiftly going on his way. Out in the wilderness is where he’s more at home and relaxed. Easy going and at times lazy, Taz’lu would sooner lay about in the sun watching the clouds drift by then have to work. Though he gets his fair share of adventure, Taz’lu simply prefers the simple things in life.

History/Timeline

Born T’azlu Tia in a nomadic tribe that frequented the southern woods of The Black Shroud to the southern border of Gridania. T’azlu’s early life was rather uneventful. He grew up learning the ways of the tribe, hunting and tracking prey became second nature to the young Miqo’te. He possessed a certain feral quality that attracted the attention of a few of the tribes females. During the times he was tasked to hunt for the tribe, T’azlu often acted more feline than young man. Yet, despite his skill and fast growing potential to become a nunh, T’azlu showed little interest in the coveted position.

Content with merely being a tia and one of the tribes providers, T’azlu slowly put distance between himself and his tribes females. Spending more time out in the woods tracking and hunting than he did within the small camp like villages the tribe would establish from time to time. It started off with him leaving for hours, then days. Eventually he would venture out for a week or longer. He found solace in his self induced isolation and would often spend hours of the day doing nothing more than listening to the various sounds of the woods around him. Taking in the various scents, while watching how the sun’s light changed as it passed over head filtered through the leaves casting calico like patterns and shapes across the forest floor. T’azlu watched the world pass by through the branches of trees, on his back in the middle of grassy fields, and in the reflections of the streams and lakes that ran through the region. If there was one thing that held T’azlu’s heart it was nature at it’s purest.

He was a young lone Miqo’te oblivious to the world outside his tribe when Dalamud splintered and Bahamut burst forth. It wasn’t until the dust settled that T’azlu realized that he was alone. His tribe if they survived the chaos of Bahamut were no longer roaming the southern woods of The Black Shroud. T’azlu traveled the tribes migratory path for months before giving up and took to traveling Eorzea.

As the days turned into years, T’azlu kept busy working his trades always keeping a watchful eye for his lost tribe. Having lost touch with his family tribe he figured it no longer mattered where the apostrophe was in his name, if it signified what tribe he was from or not. Now a loner, he changed his name from T’azlu Tia to Taz’lu Rivex, it was easier to pronounce and simple enough even the simplest minds could remember it. His name may of changed but Taz’lu remains the same humbled Miqo’te that enjoyed nature to it’s fullest. He can still be found simply listening or watching the world pass by, no matter where his travels have taken him.
