Enkharslan Kha

Personality

Sexuality: Pansexual; slight preference for women.
Age: Thirty-four years old.
Relationship status: Taken, quite happily. Open to other arrangements, though.
Alignment: True NeutralUpon first meeting this particular blackscale, one might easily mistake him for being shy, retreating or even passive. More inclined to keep his counsel and his company to a wall or something less disposed to provoke his ire, it's quite easy to say that this Xaela does not often go out of his way to go out and meet people.When the towering Xaela finally lets his guard down, however, one might find him a respectable sparring partner, a loyal friend and ally, and the one who you'll trust to get you home when you've indulged in a bit too much alcohol. He's amicable and has unending patience to rival kings.In the company of those he's comfortable with, though, he's often witty and a tad bit bratty, as well as laid-back to a fault. His flirtatious nature borders on bold if one brings it out and can even toe the line on perverse and sinful if he's so inclined. He knows he's got a face to tempt demons and a body to match, and he's not opposed to using it if the occasion arises.Raised in Eorzea (and if one observes his dress and manner acutely enough, one can easily discern where!), he has vague conceptions about what tribal life /should/ be like, though it's easy to say that he does not have any idea of what an 'ideal' Xaela should act and behave like. Regardless, his personality is his own and should be treated as such.Privately, however, he is rumored to have appetites that prove to be insatible--though what kind of appetites that may be remain to be seen.

For those of you who are interested in more intimate affairs with him:

Keep in mind that the man is intensely private. Sleeping with him may be possible, but such interactions must lead up to it.

History

Author’s Note: This is by no means a complete history, just a backlog of rumors and whisperings that have been proven to be fact.Wolves circled the diminutive Xaela woman, her lips curled back into a soundless snarl as her hand protectively cradled the precious life that had taken root within her, the swell of her belly giving way to thick, sweeping pelts that protected her—and the life within her—from the fierce Ishgardian cold. She had been ousted from the Kha tribe some months ago, sent away from the man who had taken her as his wife and mate when she had been labeled too shrewd, too stubborn for his tastes. The truth of the matter was this: they had been sleeping together for some months, and while her appetites for carnal things were nigh insatiable, he proved to be a less-than-ideal mate; too rough, too quick-tempered…and eventually, sweet kisses gave way to fists and less pleasant things. Those sessions she could tolerate with bared teeth and a clenched fist, but once she was found to be with child, he made a demand she could not withstand: terminate the life within her.So it was thus that she struck out on her own and to a land wholly foreign and strange to her: the cold reaches of Ishgard, where she found work as a seamstress and tailor for overstuffed nobles and where she bore her first and only child; a son. The infant took after his mother in looks and features with only the hauntingly intense gaze of his father as a testament of why she was entranced with her former husband; eyes of glowing azure with depths fathomless in measure.Perhaps as a safeguard to ensure that the child would turn out to be nothing like his father, he was given the name of ‘Enkharslan’, a noble Xaelic identity that meant ‘Serene Lion.’ And thusly, Enkh grew in accordance with his name. Enkh grew steadily, and by his eleventh year, he had already dwarfed his mother in both size and stature. He had a quiet, subtle wit about him, almost so withdrawn that one would consider him shy if they didn’t take the time to know him.That self-contained and well-maintained personality does not come without costs, however. Taxed by Ishgardian prejudices against his mother’s and his own appearances, his stoicism, lighthearted flirtatiousness, and quiet wit is rumored to mask some untold monstrosity and more carnal appetites, though, of course, he is wise enough to neither confirm nor deny an existence of such.

Talents

- He does have a penchant for armorsmithing as his day job, so to speak, and will often be at his armory. If your character has a piece of armor needing to be mended or fixed, he's the guy to do it. He takes custom commissions as well, and will gladly craft armor pieces according to a customer's preferences.- A lesser-known fact about him: he loves cooking. So if your character chats him up with recipes and suggestions on a cuisine he should try, he'll be glad to take the opportunity to cook for them!- He does frequent bars and lounges from time to time as a patron; perhaps your character has seen him there?- If your character is Ishgardian, though, watch out.
