Foreign even to the unusual breed of Xaela originating in the Dravanian mountains. Monstrous. Statuesque. Clad in ornate garments fitting to his own imagery beholdened to his mindset. Exposed skin illuminates a lack of consideration in one's safety. Nevertheless, he is undeterred.Pale smoke. Splotched by sable. All fluttered atop his crown and frame the scalp it sits upon. Common to his heritage, horns are usual in discerning a male or female. Though, through his parentage a distinctive set of six jab outward. Two curved at his temples, and four outstretched in scythe-like forms. Blackened scales pattern in marred roads along his physique.Differing levels of scarring having decorated the entirety of his expression, cupping the rigid lines presented. Cracked scales. Chipped pieces of horn. Worn likely from the task of nomadic travel and combative disagreements.

Distinctive Quirks


One is typically perceived by the Au Ra of direct encroachment. Reserved in his persona, as he yearns to observe any responses that would garner attention. Poised. Cold till approach, for a surprisingly courteous impression breathes. Distinguished fangs would be sported in the composed settled nature. Yet, most qualities held behind his lips.Indifferent.Whilst the Xaela is quieted in his remarks, it would not derive from a prejudice to hold. Feelings unlike such, are merely unknown to him. A deeper sentiment foreign. Those that grow close to such an individual may find a more distinctive shell about him.Despite past encounters, the Xaela remains true to himself. Maintaining his usual business-like mannerisms. A typical indulger in the taverns scattered across Eorzea, yes, but lacking any communicative efforts.With his current occupation, he has portrayed considerable skill in peddling and soldiers of fortune. His knowledge of the underground is favorable, yet not at all altering his disposition. Still, upon entry into the occupation he holds, Cero is an apathetic and callous businessman. Favoring completion of the desired assignment, rather than dilly-dallying. Showing little remorse if such tasks are unsavory.

Cultivation
The Orl Tribe. Hardly worthy of being included in any of the tribes that wandered Othard. Because of this lack of inclusivity they ventured. And ventured. And ventured. Until they met upon a frigid land. Quite unlike their own place of birth. Across the seas and over mountaintops. Dravania. A harsh environment to call home, but one they did nevertheless. The love between his mother and father blossomed into the shape of a child. Skin as white as the snow that capped their surroundings. Eyes piercing in an amber glow. Yet, their babe would be unknowing to the awaited suffering under the cruelty of their neighbors...
Progression
The raising of such a child in the land of dragons was anything but hospitable. Whilst the evading of the ancient beasts was something familiar to him, it was the emergence into the civilized world that sparked his interest. Though, the past would be unkind in the era of Nidhogg's brood. Due to his heritage in Xaela description, interest was taken to him and the male was hastily ensnared by loyalists to the Dravanian Horde. The blood of a dragon. Forcibly imbibed. Experimental in its induction. The horns that sprouted from the adolescent's head were akin to that of the Elder Wyrm. Beastial qualities of clawed digits and a multitude of jagged appendages. Said loyalists had not anticipated the virile and aggressive reaction. Slain by their own creation, in a cruel fate that earned him freedom. Unquestionably, this alteration earned him ire from the local populace. Learning of his clan’s eradication due to a fictitious stigma. There was nothing left for the young, mutated Xaela. Claiming what he could off the corpses of his captors, his path would introduce him to all of Eorzea's phenomena.
Current Affairs
Exploration. Seeing the world as it was. Truly, a path he would relish every minute of. Thanalan. The Shroud. La Noscea. Even to the Far East and a return to the roots of his people. He would frequent all their taverns and undergrounds. Hunts. Paid Killing. Not particularly favorable, but it earned him coin. And a skill in that as well. A life to live in all forms.
Hooks
- With Cero’s mutation during his captivity by loyalist to the Dravanian Horde, he has come to have horns similar to that of Nidhogg. Any denizen of Ishgard and its surrounding lands would recognize this ailment. Whether it be of wonder or disgust is up to the observer…
- Being sworn to the occupation of accepting Hunts by any whom offer them, Cero is a man of coin. No beast or quarry is too large for him. No job is unsavory or distasteful to him. If you require work and will pay with coin, he will answer accordingly with his services.- Due to his explorative nature, Cero has found work in a multitude of organizations. The Eorzean Alliance being one of them in their war against the Garlean Empire. Prior his solitary work, the Xaela was a staunch ally and supporter of the Alliance’s efforts.- In accordance with his current occupation, Cero prefers not to linger in one place for too long. Business, in his eyes, begins to simmer. He is frequently spotted in any tavern or inn that offers affordable hospitality.

I'm fairly good at typing very quick to respond as well.My availability ranges in terms of predominately evenings with occasionally free days where I am not at my workplace. For NA folks in particular. I can stay up later to prolong the RP if necessary. Though in terms of Discord, I will not be giving out my tag unless we've RPed at least once or twice.While I do like all forms of RP, I am mainly a writer in dark and mature themes. If that isn't your shtick. That's perfectly fine and we can RP a different theme.
