you welcome the warm embrace.
THE STORY THUS FAR.
Growing up the isolated air bubble deep within the Ruby Sea that's commonly known as the Exile, this orphaned Rava sought for excitement. They desired a real connection that wasn't just the souls of those who haunted the ocean floors that communicated with them through the shadows. Drawn to the bright flames of the giant volcanic mountain of Hell's Lid, was where they discovered their affinity with fire. It became almost second nature, an impulsive tick where they would blink and something would've been on fire and it was definitely their fault. The child was constantly chastised by others for bringing nothing but destruction until while wandering the mountains of Hell's lid, they came across a shattered Astrologian soul stone. The soul of which that became a guardian of theirs that helped guide their decisions but no one said this soul would be a 'good' guide.During their mid-teens was when they saved a young Xaela child that looked no older than 2, that was tossed into the ocean by an unknown duo. They took him as their younger brother and named him Lani. With the new responsibility of caring for a younger sibling, Ahi sought out help from actual people. Specifically, from the Kojins in Tamamizu so often enough to foster close relations. They learned how to barter and trade while scavenging for lost treasures in the ocean, trading for coins and hunting for their survival. Somehow, they've managed to stay alive and kept their little brother alive too so that's their little victory.By their late teens to older 20s, the Rava was able to set up a small livestock farm on the north of the Isle of Bekko that comprises mostly of stolen karakul and made a decent living off selling their wool all around Othard. They were content with this until the day their little brother who was now in his early teens expressed the desire to 'explore the skies'. Despite their distaste for laws and rules, this action from him led to Ahi joining the Confederacy to earn more coin so that their little brother could pursue his dreams.Thankfully, they were able to collect enough funds by their 30s to purchase a one way ticket for their younger brother to Eorzea, even if it's by smuggling him aboard a cargo ship. Unfortunately, they only had enough to send one person across the seas. With a heavy heart they offered the other half of the shattered Astrologian soul stone to their little brother as a memento so that one day they could reunite and recognize each other again with the help of that soul stone.Present day, you would notice that they look like any old adventurer who has probably been through too much or seen too much. Wouldn't you like to get to know them to find out?

PERSONALITY.
At a glance, Ahi is as cynical as they come, though it is out of necessity. With walls as the highest trees in the Fringes; you would have to be either extremely lucky or an animal to be allowed into their personal space. For those who they deem worthy will be lucky to witness their kindness. It is a trait they chose to hide under an egotistical mask to prevent anyone from becoming too familiar with them.Stubborn and prideful to boot, this shepherd is a force of nature. Some would even describe them as enigmatic. Despite being an introvert at heart, the viera does not shy away from opportunities that puts them front and center. Even if they are reluctant to do so. They have no qualms about committing atrocities if it lines up with their skewed sense of justice.While words are not their specialty, one simply needs to pay close attention to their actions and gestures. They hold more emotion than a simple 'Hello'.They also have a soft spot for animals. What was once a business venture, turned into a passion project. This project being their Karakul farm that they take great pride in.Good luck dealing with this pyromanic!

CURRENT GOAL.
➣ they are eager to learn how to form a connection with others but after years of pushing people away, it has been proven to be rather difficult
"You think I want to get into trouble with the damned?! No thanks."
shadow possession.
A strange presence that lingers on their skin, often mistaken for tattoos, these shadows snake all over their body. Some figures dare to reveal themselves while others would sliver under the hems of their clothes. If Ahi is near someone who has severely wronged any souls of those who passed, the shadows would grow restless. There is always the threat of being possessed by said unrest souls if overwhelmed. Dark patterns and marks would coat parts of their body as if multitudes of hands are working in unison to move it in their favour. Ahi would have no control over their own body and simply act on behalf of the undead's revenge. It is something they've learned to live with but the shadows are not unreasonable beings. They've just found different ways to cope with angered spirits.
ABILITIES.
sixth sense.
Ahi has an inescapable bond with otherworldly spirits. The whispers of the damned often ring in their ears. Sights unseen by others haunt their mind at times but they've eventually learned how to find comfort in them. However, the voices are always there. They've never known true peace and quiet. Perhaps, they've heard the voice of your loved one or even your enemy.
fire manipulation.
Whether a blessing or a curse, Ahi has the ability to summon fire. Accidentally or at will, it coats the palms of their hands in a blue flame. It is reminiscent of the ocean. Yet, this comes at a high cost. Depending on the size and intensity of the flame, it burns the user. Their palms are covered from burns between the first and third degree. The flames are the most volatile and the most painful when Ahi experiences true unbridled anger or despair.
large lung capacity &
great stamina.
Growing up in the depths of the ocean, they've had sufficient training at holding their breath for as long as possible. It was especially vital when it came to hunting for food underwater. When you're swimming more often than walking, it's no wonder their stamina is higher than an average person's.
main trope.
➣ broken bird
This viera will adapt to any role at the right price. However, they are more reluctant if the sole reason is for the 'greater good'. It is a concept that they do not believe in. They're more likely to support selfish reasons and desires than noble deeds.sub tropes.

➣ hope is scary
➣ phlegmatic-choleric
➣ hidden heart of gold
➣ cracks in the icy façade

TROPES.
HOOKS & RUMOURS.
"If you're not paying for my time then I've got no reason to be nice."
➣ IDENTITY THEFT. (if you're looking to interact with a fake WOL!)
You've heard their name being sung in praises all across Eorzea as the esteemed Warrior of Light, described to be big, muscular and definitely not this lanky viera that's chugging down a mug of ale but when you approach them to ask regarding the name of the Warrior Of Light, they grin with great curiosity. "That sure is my name alright, but I sure ain't any sort of Warrior of light."➣ FIRESTARTER.
You caught them in a far corner on their own, possibly near something flammable such as a wooden box. You watch as a bright orange glow begins to emit from them but you can't tell what it is until you see their hands covered in what looks like to be a ball of fire swiftly striking said flammable object as it shatters into flames. As their shake their hand off to cool the flames on it, you notice that their hand looks to be raw as if they burnt their hand while doing so. The shattered flames seem to be growing in size and started to spread across yet they still stand there, just watching with the biggest smile on their face. Do you approach this pyromaniac?➣ LOST SHEEP.
Due to some misunderstanding, you are suddenly attacked by this viera. They had attempted to grapple you in a chokehold, gaining a higher ground so that they could look down and glare at you. There's venom in their tone as they growled the words, "You stole my karakuls. Where are they?"➣ EX-CONFEDERACY.
You noticed a wanted poster with an image sketched out to resemble the viera. In the image, you notice they don a coat that similar to a high ranking officer would wear in the Confederacy from the Far East, the viera unceremoniously peeked over to glance at the poster with you before they turned to you and say, "Y'know, I still have that coat. I don't know why they never took it from me after I left."➣ MYSTERIOUS MARKINGS.
Your eyes were drawn to tattoo-like markings across their arms and legs. Tattoos are a fairly common sight but what isn't common is that they seem to be moving, almost seeming to be squirming around and changing it's forms. It's almost as if the tattoos could feel your gaze on them as you watch the dark markings slither up their arms into hiding behind their clothes and they turn to catch your gaze. "If you stared any longer, you'd burn my arm right off."

Name: Lani Wayang
Age: 25
Identity: cis male (he/him)
Orientation: pansexual
Allignment: neutral good
Nameday: 7th sun of the 2nd Astral moon (3/7, pisces)
ADOPTED LITTLE BROTHER.
Curious, caring & outgoing; you're more likely to get along with Lani than their older sibling. He's a genius at the culinary arts due to his high standards but he's always willing to share. The sky is his love and divination brings him comfort. This xaela truly believes in the fate of the stars. Though, he isn't above doing a little bit of fortune telling for some spare gil. He was raised by a business extraordinaire afterall! Lani and Ahi are as thick as thieves after their reunion. Often times he'd go out of his way to take care of Ahi just as much as they did for him. He can cook, he can clean and he's often mistaken as the older brother instead.
Alias: Brick Durva
Age: 32
Identity: trans male (he/him)
Orientation: bisexual
Allignment: chaotic neutral
Nameday: 19th sun of the 6th Astral moon (11/18, scorpio)
FRENEMIES PERHAPS.
Selfish, innovative & honest; A stoic half raen, half xaela tinker with a simple goal; to create a board with wheels to be used as transport. He would do anything - even grave robbing - to obtain materials for his next project. Brick can be surprisingly direct with his feelings, he just can't be bothered to give anyone the time of day. He has a heart of gold underneath his tough exterior and is a little bit of a mama's boy whenever his mothers are around. The two of them are often butting heads with each other but when the time calls for it, they have each other's backs. Sometimes Ahi can't decide if they want to strangle him in a murderous way or in some other way.
Name: Kirk Knight
Age: 40
Identity: cis female (she/her)
Orientation: homosexual
Allignment: lawful neutral
Nameday: 20th sun of the 4th Umbral moon (8/20, leo)
NUMBER ONE CONFIDANT.
Loyal, eager & brave; Kirk is the embodiment of a noble white knight. With the single exception of their biggest weakness being beautiful women in distress. She's a flirt by nature and would drop everything just to impress a girl she finds attractive. Hailing from an extremely wealthy and powerful family in Ishgard, this hyur is still humble enough to offer help whenever and wherever it is needed. When she's not out and about, she's a reliable leader of an army. She often helps Ahi sort through their feelings and they act as her anchor to keep her grounded. Literally too, the lady can be clumsy at times.
