So, I have something already written up for T'sal, but this is always a good exercise to cement things. So... I'll take a swipe at it. If anything, I can get some feedback on him since this is my first Final Fantasy RP and I might have missed something in my lore research. ^^' (I'm answering this as the creator, not the character... He'd never give anyone this much information. Ever.)

Part 1: The Basics
Show Content
Spoiler
1. What is your full name?
T'salmaveth Sadi'a, his parents compromised on his name, so he has both traditions represented.
2. Where and when were you born?
Limsa Lominsa, 13th Sun of the Sixth Astral Moon 1555
3. Who are/were your parents?
T’ehlat Tia(Father, a Seeker of the Sun) and Sadi Ageha(Mother, Keeper of the Moon). He was adopted by a Hellsguard Roegadyn named Rugged Path, who had been the leader of the small free company his mother had been part of after her death.
4. Do you have any siblings?
No.
5. Where do you live now, and with whom?
He lives alone in Limsa Lominsa while doing his research with the Arcanist Guild.
6. What is your occupation?
Studying to be an Arcanist with ulterior motives...
7. Write a full physical description of yourself.
On the tall side for a Miqo'te, T'sal has his father's warm creamy skin and his mother's black hair with deep red highlights when the light hits it. His ears and tail are solid black. He has bright, captivating silver eyes.
8. To which social class do you belong?
He is secure financially thanks to inheriting the funds left by Rugged Path and the small company that raised him as his adopted family. He was highly tutored growing up, so is well read and cultured about the other countries.
9. Do you have any allergies, diseases, or other physical weaknesses?
Not that he's discovered so far... though he could claim to be allergic to female miqo'te if annoyed enough.
10. Are you right- or left-handed?
Ambidextrous. Favors his right hand.
11. What does your voice sound like?
Deep and 'purring/furred'... (if he had a VO it would be Benedict Cumberbatch.)
12. What words and/or phrases do you use very frequently?
Hm. (And that's as expressive as he gets unless necessary...)
13. What do you have in your pockets?
Some sweets, gil, sealed ink-wells and quills.
14. Do you have any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics?
He tends to stare off at nothing, eyes unfocused and ears twitching as if listening to something no one else can hear. He also tends to get people's names wrong... regularly and without care. Him getting your name right a majority of the time means he actually considers it worthwhile to remember.

Part 2: Growing Up
Show Content
Spoiler
15. How would you describe your childhood in general?
A series of losses and rich in learning. Losing one parent after the other didn't mean he wasn't brought up well and with care.
16. What is your earliest memory?
Thunderstorms rolling off the ocean.
17. How much schooling have you had?
Heavily schooled. His adopted father was insistent that he be tutored and bought him books more than toys growing up.
18. Did you enjoy school?
He did well in private tutoring but avoided any kind of group lessons whenever possible. He devoured books and had a very sharp mind.
19. Where did you learn most of your skills and other abilities?
His adopted father had him running errands and doing odd jobs around the docks when he wasn't being tutored, hoping to keep the boy engaged and occupied.
20. While growing up, did you have any role models? If so, describe them.
Rugged Path, his adopted father and the other two members of his mother's former company that collectively helped to raise him, a female Midlander and a female Duskwight.
21. While growing up, how did you get along with the other members of your family?
It was hard to say if T'sal ever did or did not 'get along' with anyone, but he was attached to the three members of his adopted 'family'.
22. As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
He did not have any firm goals that he talked about, though his aptitude for books and keen observation skills had his adopted father pushing him towards the Arcanist Guild to work as a customs agent in the docks.
23. As a child, what were your favorite activities?
Reading. Sitting at his window and watching the storms roll across the ocean.
24. As a child, what kinds of personality traits did you display?
T'sal was very quiet and detached as a child. He was very hard to get a rise out of, though Rugged Path had a knack for it.
25. As a child, were you popular? Who were your friends, and what were they like?
No. T'sal was distant from almost everyone except his adopted family. He was well known from his work on the docks and liked for his willingness to take on jobs and do them, though most also admitted his detached and distant nature was off-putting and could be taken as condescending or dismissive.
26. When and with whom was your first kiss?
T'sal dislikes being touched in general and especially by those he doesn't consider close. As such, he hasn't had a first kiss.
27. Are you a virgin? If not, when and with whom did you lose your virginity?
Yes. And unlikely to change any time soon, given his personality and temperament.
28. If you are a supernatural being (i.e. mage, werewolf, vampire), tell the story of how you became what you are or first learned of your own abilities. Â If you are just a normal human, describe any influences in your past that led you to do the things you do today.
This is hard to do a short answer for. Basically T'sal was born with a very strong connection to the Aetherflow. He was exposed to an extremely dangerous concentration of Aether when he was 17 that nearly killed him. He was catatonic or slipping in and out of extreme nightmares for several months, then spent almost a year after that secluded in his rooms before emerging and starting to seriously study the Arcanist skills and dig for information on legends and stories of summoning magic.

Part 3: Past Influences
Show Content
Spoiler
29. What do you consider the most important event of your life so far?
His watching Bahamut burst from Dalamud and kill his adopted family before he could reach the battlefield.
30. Who has had the most influence on you?
Rugged Path, his adopted father. His mother's bias still colors his view of things, including his dislike of female miqo'te(she did not trust them and he picked up on that), even though she died when he was only 5.
31. What do you consider your greatest achievement?
He doesn't feel he has achieved anything yet...
32. What is your greatest regret?
That he did not make it to the battlefield in time, though he is aware it is a stupid regret, as he would not have survived. He also regrets that he and Rugged Path fought before they parted for the last time where he said some very vicious and hurtful things.
33. What is the most evil thing you have ever done?
That would mean he acknowledges things as 'good' or 'evil'.... he is aware that others do so, and usually goes with whatever the law dictates. So... no answer.
34. Do you have a criminal record of any kind?
No.
35. When was the time you were the most frightened?
Watching Bahamut emerge from Dalamud.
36. What is the most embarrassing thing ever to happen to you?
He was subjected to getting dressed up a few times by the two female members of his adopted family as a child. He doesn't talk about it.
37. If you could change one thing from your past, what would it be, and why?
The only thing he would change would be to not fight with Rugged Path the day he left to join the Battle of Carteneau.
38. What is your best memory?
He doesn't really have one. Or wouldn't really understand the question. Possibly a nostalgic one he might bring up would be curling up and falling asleep on Rugged Path's chest as a child.
39. What is your worst memory?
Bahamut's destruction of the armies, including his adopted family, at the Battle of Carteneau.

Part 4: Beliefs And Opinions
Show Content
Spoiler
40. Are you basically optimistic or pessimistic?
Realist? He accepts situations as they come, so he may seem more pessimistic than he thinks he is to some.
41. What is your greatest fear?
Dying before he achieves his goals.
42. What are your religious views?
He is completely indifferent to it. He won't dismiss the fact that the Twelve exist, as that has been proven. He just doesn't care that they do. They were ineffective once and he doesn't see a need to concern himself with them. He doesn't particularly care if others do or don't.
43. What are your political views?
He doesn't care. Provided that the politicians keep out of his way, they can do whatever it is they do to keep themselves busy. Let the people who care about it deal with it, basically.
44. What are your views on sex?
Necessary for a species to survive, obviously. Outside of that... not something he's concerned about.
45. Are you able to kill? Â Under what circumstances do you find killing to be acceptable or unacceptable?
Easily. If it is necessary for his goals, not a problem. Creatures live and die. Being able to talk doesn't really change that.
46. In your opinion, what is the most evil thing any human being could do?
That 'evil' thing again.... the only thing that might fit here would be 'being a Garlean'. That's about as bad as it gets, as far as T'sal is concerned. There's a pretty easy solution to it, too... (See question 45...)
47. Do you believe in the existence of soul mates and/or true love?
Not his area of interest. He's sure other people believe in it, which is just fine for them.
48. What do you believe makes a successful life?
Achieving his goal.
49. How honest are you about your thoughts and feelings?
......he rarely exposes that much about himself, though he doesn't actively lie. He just doesn't say much. And he doesn't really admit to much in the area of feelings.
50. Do you have any biases or prejudices?
Yes. Garleans.
51. Is there anything you absolutely refuse to do under any circumstances? Why do you refuse to do it?
He dislikes being touched and will not be intimate with anyone. And being friendly towards a Garlean is even less likely.
52. Who or what, if anything, would you die for (or otherwise go to extremes for)?
No one right now. The few people he actually felt any kind of connection to are dead.

Part 5: Relationships With Others
Show Content
Spoiler
53. In general, how do you treat others? Â Does your treatment of them change depending on how well you know them, and if so, how?
He's indifferent to most, unaffected and detached. He will appear polite and helpful if necessary but rarely cares enough to remember names. If he actually does ever care at all, he would start by getting their names right and actually considering what they say.
54. Who is the most important person in your life, and why?
He doesn't have anyone living that is important to him at the moment. Previously, Rugged Path.

No one alive. Again, Rugged Path was the central person he was connected to growing up.
56. Who are your friends? Â Do you have a best friend? Â Describe these people.

61. Have you started your own family? Â If so, describe them. Â If not, do you want to? Â Why or why not?
No. No. He's not interested. -_-
62. Who would you turn to if you were in desperate need of help?
....currently he feels he can only really rely on himself. Before, he relied upon his adopted family, mostly Rugged Path. In the past 5 years, he hasn't reached out to anyone. He is starting to learn to work with Carbuncle.
63. Do you trust anyone to protect you? Â Who, and why?
No. At least, not anymore. The only people he did trust are dead.
64. If you died or went missing, who would miss you?
No one that he is aware of.
65. Who is the person you despise the most, and why?
Garleans. ALL of them. Why? They're breathing still...
66. Do you tend to argue with people, or avoid conflict?
He won't seek out an argument but he won't avoid it, either. If it appears in front of him, he'll deal with it.
67. Do you tend to take on leadership roles in social situations?
He has, up to now, avoided most social situations.
68. Do you like interacting with large groups of people? Â Why or why not?

If? That's a usual situation and he pours over the books he collects or sits and stares out the window at the night sky to where Dalamud used to hang.

84. Describe the routine of a normal day for you. Â How do you feel when this routine is disrupted?
Waking up and drinking tea or wine, depending what is easiest to get to start the day. He will then continue where he left off studying. If he remembers to eat, he will, otherwise he doesn't bother with it. Late morning he will go observe Arcanist training or take part. After that, he will run whatever errands he has to, such as picking up food or looking for more old books and grimoires. Late afternoon finds him back in his quarters studying unless some particularly interesting lessons are going on in the Arcanist Guild.

Waking up and drinking tea or wine, depending what is easiest to get to start the day. He will then continue where he left off studying. If he remembers to eat, he will, otherwise he doesn't bother with it. Late morning he will go observe Arcanist training or take part. After that, he will run whatever errands he has to, such as picking up food or looking for more old books and grimoires. Late afternoon finds him back in his quarters studying unless some particularly interesting lessons are going on in the Arcanist Guild. He may or may not remember to eat an evening meal, though he can be dragged into it if having to deal with anyone to get information or request a particular book from a merchant.
