Better the devil you know

A nontraditional Xaela who is Khan of his equally nontraditional tribe. He doesn't claim any one particular place as home but acknowledges, frequently, that the Steppe is no longer his. A quiet, stern warrior who grew to have a devil-may-care attitude; quick wit, sarcasm, and snide comments abound. With a flash of a grin full of pointed teeth, he may ask a favor for a favor, but deals with devils are very rarely a good thing.

  • Hair: Dark hair generally kept with some length to it. Whether or not it’s tied back seems to vary from day to day.

  • Eyes: Grey to Blue

  • Height: Exactly 7 Fulms

  • Scales: Appear black at first glance but certain light will reveal a silver sheen.

  • Distinguishing Marks: A pair of extra horns protrude from the top of his forehead, the flash of a grin will reveal a mouth full of sharp teeth, and his left arm is a magitek prosthetic. Scars completely cover his body however, his face seems to have, mostly, avoided the same fate, save for a horizontal scar across his left cheek.

  • Common Accessories: He will never be seen without a pair of necklaces around his neck, one with a silver medallion and the other a crystal, and a copper bracer on his wrist, etched with a sun and a topaz sitting in its center.

RP Hooks
(these are just ideas, I'm willing to roll with just about anything)

Aethersense: Akhutai's aether is exceedingly dense. Noticably more than the average person's.
The Fixer: Akhutai is a fixer in all but name. You just need to say the right things and ask the right questions and offer the right price.
Adventure: Akhutai is incapable of sitting still and you might end up running into him lurking around any corner around the world doing anything from seeking supplies for a new project to studying old ruins.
Magitek Workshop: Akhutai's workshop is located within Ul'dah. He specializes in creative weaponry but will be willing to take on any project, especially one that sounds like a challenge.
Void-touched: It isn't immediately obvious, but there are hints of void corruption in Akhutai's aether. It doesn't seem to affect him and, in fact, seems to fade out after a time, but the consistency might be concerning to some.
The Familiar: Sometimes a small creature might be following Akhutai. It uses his aether to cloak itself, but sharp enough sense may note it is entirely of the void.
The Black Dog of Ishgard: There are whispers on the wind of the presence of a certain Xaela being an ill omen. But those are probably just old rumors born from an old fear.

OOC Information

  • I'm a queer and disabled transman. It isn't as though I bring this up often but I will definitely want RP spaces that are accepting towards such things.

  • I enjoy most forms of RP but I do have certain limits such as no SA or non-con in general.

  • Akhutai is difficult to romance and get into bed. I won't dissuade the attempt but prepare for disappointment. That being said, he absolutely will not sleep with anyone unless there is a relationship present.

  • I very much play Akhutai in the grey areas of lore. It is not completely necessary to be as lore flexible as I am when it comes to RP partners as I tend to avoid discussing certain matters in the beginning, however if long term RP is wanted, being able to at least accept the grey stuff will become a necessity.
