Part 1: The Basics
Show Content
Part 11.What is your full name?
Antimony Jhanhi, though my given name was K’piru
2.Where and when were you born?
You’re not supposed toask a woman her age, but I was born in the Sagoli desert, likely well before you were born.
3.Who are/were your parents? (Know their names, occupations, personalities, etc.)
My mother was K’deiki Nhyt, a skilled huntress in her time, and my father K’jhanhi, one of the Nunh of our tribe and a skilled craftsman. I don’t speak with either of them anymore, if they are even still alive.
4.Do you have any siblings? What are/were they like?
One sibling, whofollowed strongly in our mother’s footsteps. We never really got along because of this, and like my mother I haven’t spoken with her in five years.
5.Where do you live now, and withwhom? Describe the place and the person/people.
Limsa Lominsa, on my own. It’s a simple rented room; I don’t have the time or the inclination to keep up with anything more than that.
6.What is your occupation?
I manage other people’s assets discretely for a small, independent firm. Usually my assignments involve auditing the account of one of my employer’s clients, though I’ve also managed them in other ways.
7.Write a full physical description of yourself. You might want to consider factors such as: height, weight, race, hair and eye color, style of dress, and any tattoos, scars, or distinguishing marks.
I think I’m fairly average-looking.
8.To which social class do youbelong?
Not one of any note,that’s for certain.
9.Do you have any allergies, diseases, or other physical weaknesses?
Death. And I’m allergic to mako grass, which is unfortunate.
10. Are you right- or left-handed?
Left.
11. What does your voice sound like?
Hopefully not too irritating.
12. What words and/or phrases do you use very frequently?
I don’t think I’m self-conscious enough to answer this. You’d probably have better luck talking to anyone I’ve spoken to.
13. What do you have in your pockets?
Hm, let’s see… A napkin I was using to fine tune an equation relating to aether moving from a body to open space… Oh, I was looking for this list! The ID numbers for my next batch of clients. It’s a good thing I hadn’t lost it.
14. Do you have any quirks, strange mannerisms, annoying habits, or other defining characteristics?
My mother told me I ramble too much when nervous. But then my father told me that I clam up. Who’s to say who is right, if either of them are at all?

Part 2: Growing Up
Show Content
Part 215. How would you describe your childhood in general?
Trying to reach expectations, failing to do so, and then setting my own expectations.
16. What is your earliest memory?
I remember the day my sister was born it stormed in the desert. Mother had to give birth on the move, as we were fleeing a flash flood. I lost a sandal in the wet sand, I think. Cried for hours. But, I was only four.
17. How much schooling have you had?
Nothing formal. There were the lessons taught by the older members of the tribe.
18. Did you enjoy school?
I enjoyed it when it wasn’t sandworm hunting day.
19. Where did you learn most of your skills and other abilities?
Various mentors over the years – if you can call them that. Really it was more me pestering someone for a few days before having to move on. Everything else I’ve taught myself.
20. While growing up, did you have any role models? Â If so, describe them.
The night sky and the stars. I had charted out nearly every visible star in our little spread of desert by the time I was a teenager. I quite literally looked up to them.
21. While growing up, how did you get along with the other members of your family?
We managed.
22. As a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
I knew exactly what I wanted to be practically every week.
23. As a child, what were your favorite activities?
Getting out of hunting trips. Working with the Tias of our tribe when the hunters brought back their catches was always a source of good learning, though. They liked to talk, and I liked to listen.
24. As a child, what kinds of personality traits did you display?
Stubborn and cowardly, or just driven and shy – depending on who you ask.
25. As a child, were you popular? Â Who were your friends, and what were they like?
The sun and the stars were my friends.
26. When and with whom was your first kiss?
That’s a bit personal. But if you must know, it was with K’thalen. We were far too young.
27. Are you a virgin? Â If not, when and with whom did you lose your virginity?
I bore three children. You tell me.
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.
The stars, my youngest daughter, and the Calamity.

Part 3: Past Influences

Part 329. What do you consider the most important event of your life so far?
I don’t think I could identify a single event. It would depend what you mean by important – Important to who? Important to what? I’ve gathered a lot of events over the course of my life.
30. Who has had the most influence on you?
A younger me would have said “myselfâ€. Now I think it was my father.
31. What do you consider your greatest achievement?
I hope that moment has not yet come, otherwise it would be a very disappointing greatest achievement.

I’d rather not speak of it, but it was an ultimatum I wish I could take back.
33. What is the most evil thing you have ever done?
Giving up on someone.
34. Do you have a criminal record of any kind?
I certainly hope not.
35. When was the time you were the most frightened?

The fear I felt then, however, seems so small in comparison to the fear we felt five years ago.
36. What is the most embarrassing thing ever to happen to you?
It was my first and only trip with the hunters of my tribe.
37. If you could change one thing from your past, what would it be, and why?
There’s no point in wanting to change the past. It can’t be done.
38. What is your best memory?
Teaching my children how to read the stars. Attempting to teach them the equations that describe the distances and angles between them… the latter was not so successful.
39. What is your worst memory?
It isn’t something I ever want to return to.
I don’t think I could identify a single event. It would depend what you mean by important – Important to who? Important to what? I’ve gathered a lot of events over the course of my life.

Part 7: Self Images & Etc.
Show Content
Part 784. Describe the routine of a normal day for you. Â How do you feel when this routine is disrupted?
Wake up, wash and eat, go to work, return home, chores, eat again, and hopefully there is some time left for my little hobby. I suppose I’d feel lost if that were disrupted in some way.
85. What is your greatest strength as a person?
Ah, that’s easy: my attention to detail.
86. What is your greatest weakness?
My attention to detail.
87. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
This question is nearly as useless as wishing to change the past.
88. Are you generally introverted or extroverted?
I suppose some would call me introverted.
89. Are you generally organized or messy?
Everything has its place.
90. Name three things you consider yourself to be very good at, and three things you consider yourself to be very bad at.
Good at: catching and correcting mistakes, cleaning, and math; Bad at: conversing with people, handling surprises, confrontation
91. Do you like yourself?
I think I’m alright.
92. What are your reasons for being an adventurer (or doing the strange and heroic things that RPG characters do)?  Are your real reasons for doing this different than the ones you tell people in public?  (If so, detail both sets of reasons…)
I am not an adventurer. It’s about as suited to me as a fish in the desert.
93. What goal do you most want to accomplish in your lifetime?
See my work accepted by the arcanist guild.
94. Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
Hopefully still alive, probably still in Limsa Lominsa, hopefully working my way through the banking system of the arcanist guild.
95. If you could choose, how would you want to die?
Calmly and at a moment of my choosing.
96. If you knew you were going to die in 24 hours, name three things you would do in the time you had left.

97. What is the one thing for which you would most like to be remembered after your death?
It would be nice to have my name on the wall of notable contributors to the advancement of the arcanist guild, but… that’s unlikely. I’ll settle for simply having not made a fool of myself.
98. What three words best describe your personality?
I don’t think I’m the best judge of that, but… Careful, reliable, courteous
99. What three words would others probably use to describe you?
I’m sure there are plenty of not-so-friendly ways to describe me. Picky, easily distracted, gullible.
100. If you could, what advice would you, the player, give to your character?  (You might even want to speak as if he or she were sitting right here in front of you, and use proper tone so he or she might heed your advice…)
Meet new people.
