A little sneak-peek into his history..
Growing up in the Sylphlands, Sahil had no knowledge or recollection of the world outside the shroud. Given he sighted many different races venturing in and out of the woodlands, the sylphs have always been the family to raise him in the wilderness. Returning Sahil to his original tribe was opposed by the clan fearing his additional traits of antlers growing past his hair and oddly long tail. It didn’t help seeing the child’s body was riddled with Sylphic hieroglyphic as a result from Ramuh’s influence. Want more context? Click here!

His Story

THE BEGINING
In the shadowed fringes of the jungle, where the trees thin and the air grows heavy with unfamiliar winds, a lone Rava huntress stalked her quarry. As was tradition, her infant was hidden nearby; swaddled in woven leaves and masked by the scent of crushed herbs to avoid detection. But the forest was not empty. Watching from the underbrush were the Sylphs, and not the gentle Green ones of the Shroud, but the restless, violet-glowing faction who had turned their whispers toward summoning their god. The unattended child was taken without a cry.. wrapped in glamour and drifting pollen that dulled the senses. By the time the huntress returned, only disturbed leaves and the faint scent of foreign aether remained. The Sylphs’ purpose was blasphemous and desperate. They sought to summon Ramuh, the Lord of Levin, and required a vessel! Something pure, something young, something unformed enough to be shaped by judgment. The infant was drugged with rare jungle herbs and subtle toxins to weaken the body, to hollow it into a suitable conduit. Petals soaked in venom were burned. Bitter sap was fed in drops. The child’s breathing grew shallow as the ritual circle pulsed with gathering levin-aspected aether. When the Judgment Bolt fell, it should have reduced the infant to ash. However.. The lightning did not destroy the vessel. It bonded. The surge of levin aether collided with the toxins within the child’s blood. Rather than purge the poison, the lightning fused with it. Transmuting corruption into something new. The infant’s tiny body convulsed… then stilled. It was still alive? The violet Sylphs trembled! They whispered that this was a sign. A blessing? No, no.. A miracle of their Lord’s will! The elder among them spoke: the child was unworthy as a sacrifice-- for now.
It would be raised. Observed. Cultivated until the day it proved worthy of offering, But the forest does not keep secrets forever! The Green Sylphs of the Shroud, those who rejected tempering and zealotry, discovered the ritual site and the dying glow of corrupted aether! Ramuh’s judgment had been invoked without balance. They intervened... and the child was taken from violet hands and carried into safer glades. Cleansed as best as possible. The toxins could not be purged, for it was one with the lightning. When the Green Sylphs attempted to return the infant to the Rava tribe, the damage was already visible; Small horn-like protrusions had begun to press through the hairline. A thin tail, unnatural and serpentine, curled from the base of the spine. The child’s aether crackled faintly beneath the skin! Levin-tainted, venom-laced.
To the tribe, it was an omen! A corruption. No, they deemed the child a danger! The mother’s grief was swallowed by fear of what the child might become. And so the infant was refused.. not slain, but shunned. Thus the Green Sylph elders made a quiet decision. If the forest would not reclaim this child, then they would. In the hidden reaches of the Shroudlands, beneath humming canopies and whispering leaves, the child of lightning and poison was raised not as sacrifice, but as something the forest had never seen before.

KEY POINTS
• Sahil is not Tempered, but Primal-Touched by Ramuh. The judgment bolt infused with the toxins that was induced into his body and became one. The failed ritual grew a venom heart within the infant. A fusion of levin aether and poison, which marks him forever.
• Sahil can not 'manipulate' or control his blood. It's a passive trait that happens to have poisons effects on others who happen to try to consume it. With this, he's unable to drink health potions, because it has an opposite effect on his body. This also puts him at a disadvantage of utilizing blood transfusion. Skin contact does not make it poisonous.. It has to be consumed to act out it's poisonous effects or be exposed to cuts/wounds.• REMEMBER, Sahil is only in his early twenties. The shroud is all he has ever known, and only recently (1-2 years ago) decided to venture out of the shroud with his care taker.

Hooks & Rumors

If you see Sahil, don't be scared to interact with him. I enjoy building something out of nothing for character growth. Either it be a friendship, Rivalry, associate, or even someone he may know from his past while living in the shroud. Regardless, I love surprises within mutual boundaries! Read below to find some nice hooks to interact with him on for your character.


Looking to hire him for a Job?
• Post-rider for packages and letters.
• Security or Lookout.
• Musician; talented in playing the pan flute.
• Bounty Hunter on individuals or creatures.
• Reaper for hire for Dungeons and Raids.
• Waitering/Cleaning Tables for Taverns & Bars.
• Translator (Sylphic) and guide of the Shroud.


He's an Insectivore.
Growing up in the shrouds, he had to hunt his own food and the most common were insect-like monsters. That doesn't mean he doesn't enjoy sinking his teeth into meat and fresh fruit. He tends to stay away from vegetables, since they look rather close to the sylphs. After finally leaving the shroud, he is slowly being introduced to new meals and combinations of ingredients.


Need a guide through the Shroud?
Sahil knows the ins and outs of the shroud. You can ask if he's willing to be a guide, escort, or possibly have him hunt or retrieve items you are specifically looking for that can only be found in the thickest parts of the forest. He understands the shroud like the back of his hand and his alliance with the violet sylph tribes proves useful for resources.


Want to make a trade? Or trying to get his attention?
A child of the sylphs, so he understands how to barter and trade. However, he only accepts certain forms of payment. Either it be something of the shinnies or perhaps you have something for him to eat? Sahil finds value in certain color gems, but that's for you to figure out what kind.


Walking the streets of Kugane? Or perhaps live in the Shirogane regions?
Ever since moving to Shirogane, he is often lurking and people-watching from the rooftops. If anyone has seen or heard anything happening in this city, it would be him. He can be quite the informant if you're looking to collect information on someone if you can describe the person in detail. He might be able to share what he knows, but not for free.


He's not a fan of Moogles.. and moogles are not a fan of Sahil..
He despises the little furballs, but he has a weakness for Kupo Nut. Moogles, as a whole, you will notice keep their distance from him or tthe moment they notice him , they are quick to keep their distance and prefer not to interact with Sahil.


Healing Potions
He's unable to consume healing potions. Doing so has the reverse effects of the concoction trying to heal the ever-pumping poison through his veins. The effects can be between vomiting, accelerated heart rate, or health ticks.


Skilled Musician with a sharp music Intuition.
From just listening to the pitch of instruments being played and keen observation, with little to no practice, Sahil is capable of adapting to different instruments to create music. This was first discovered from stealing a pan flute off a wandering traveler.


The Spell Crafter
Sahil was raised by the sylphs and owned their little tricks and spells like they were his own. He wishes to expand this knowledge, but as an amateur, this can have good and bad effects on the spells he constructs.
Sahil's spells strictly use catalyst items that thrive between transmutation and illusions. His preferred and more reliable items to use in these cases are leaves that can come in a variety of colors: Spring green, autumn shade (yellow, red, orange or purple) or Dirt-dried brown.Unmastered spells will take on the vibrant color of spring green. So the effects can vary on the user. As the leaves are being used, the color fades and the leaf would swivel up into a dirt-dried brown which defines the amount of magic left inside the leaf. These leaves can not be replenished with magic.

Allegation
Suspicious activity of missing items and gil being pick-pocketed off a number of residents in Shirogane or visitor's in the Kugane's city limits. There has been countless amount of items being reported missing from their wares.
True: Sahil has been robbing civilians and visitors of the east, but he has yet to be caught. To be fair, he will 'sometimes' return the items since he is unaware what he is doing isn't 'borrowing'.


Kugane Rumor
Odd sightings of stranger doublegangers walking among the people. Be cautious of who you speak with; It's rumored that a creature is able to take shape of regulars who roam the streets.
True: Sahil is able to copy anyone's appearance using sylphic magic. However, he cant mimic their eye color and he has to hide his own tail under clothing.


Kugane Rumor
Rumors of a pan flute being played in the distance that has been said to draw in victims who are slowly in numbers disappearing.
False: While Sahil does have and does play the pan flute, he is not the one luring victims to their mysterious disappearance. Even he is curious of who's causing this, but has yet to find any leads.


Shroud Rumor
Whispers stir through the Twelveswood doors found gaped, possessions disturbed, and no culprit in sight! Some are quick to blame Sahil..
Fales: Those who know him understand: he does not trespass upon the homes of the Shroud. He holds them sacred. However, camps left unattended beneath open sky, then that becomes the forest’s business!


Kugane Rumor
Several shopkeepers in Kugane have reported finding their attic windows mysteriously opened. Curiously, nothing appears obviously stolen, but the stretch absence of time makes it hard to be certain what may be missing.
More unsettling still, a single leaf is often found resting near the window frame. Rumors have pointed to Sahil...
True: If you reside in Kugane and neglect your upper floors, there’s a fair chance he has already slipped through your attic window. He favors high entries. The leaves he leaves behind are enchanted... Whether their effects prove fortunate or unfortunate is another matter entirely; so be careful! Because even he doesn't always know what they will do~

Bonds

Valenoix Leodaire

His Keeper | His Promise
In Sahil's early adult years, he came into contact with Valenoix in the shrouds. The Sylphs encouraged the idea of Sahil traveling with Valenoix to become more independent and confident in seeing what the world has to offer outside the black shroud. Ever since then, the two have been traveling throughout Eorzea.

Guntair Wolfe

His Childhood Friend
Sahil has met Guntair in his early preteen years. The two have been in countless shenanigans in the shroud. It's because of Guntair's natural instincts, Sahil was able to pick up and learn to hunt and gather in the wild. Even picking up on Guntair's lingo in huntspeak. The two are often found exploring when Valenoix is busy.

Megumi Meowton

An Honest Frienemy
Megumi is a much more recent encounter that could easily be seen as a love-hate relationship. One moment the two can be loving and wholesome, but in a matter of seconds, the two are caught pulling each other's hairs. No matter the distance it's almost like fate has them wrapped around an unbreakable thread that always links the two back to one another.

Out of Character

Character Inspiration
I created this character almost six years ago from forum and discord platform roleplaying. The original character was a seer who could remember their past lives through their descendants. He had the ability to shape shift from his humanoid form into a Jackalope, a Jackal, and a wendigo. For FFXIV, I decided to just take minor elements of that character to fit the FF world.

I
You can call me Jas / Jaz / Hex
Yes, I'm a female in real life and I have no preference between roleplaying between male and female characters. I'm open to roleplaying on discord or FFXIV but not all of my characters are available. Just ask!

II
Central Timezone
Im normally open to roleplay week nights after 7PM. Just send me a message on Discord if you wanna plan something out between our characters.

III
Mutiple Characters
I currently own a total of 7 in-game characters for FFXIV. Be mindful, that my characters may not know each other or know much about each other. I like to spread out my options to cover a wide range of interests for myself and others who wish to create something.

IV
No Meta-Gaming
Don't mix out of character context & conversations as roleplay. If you want to get involved with my character(s) past or perhaps on a more dark spectrum, just let me know and we can work something out!

V
Mare is Gone so..
Only accepting personal one on one codes. I will not accept or join public syncs going forward.

VI
Mature Roleplay Content
Which means you need to be 21 or older. I enjoy both SFW and NFSW content, but that doesn't mean I'm open to ERP. That's exclusive to just my roleplay partner. This can consist of criminal activates, life-threatening, illicit supplements, game-lore racism, etc.

VII
My Characters and their World
Fannar Reykholt (Zalera), Sahil Ravi (Zalera), P'riya Daisho (Zalera), P'ierro Tia (Mateus), L Primrose (Zalera), Jerri'ah Lokiah (Zalera), & Belialuin Sithen (Zalera).

VIII
About the Warrior of Light
In my lore, the WoL is a cannon character not played by another person or any of my characters. Long story short, I try to stay away from such a high-minded character unless you wish to work something out with my characters. Just give me a heads up.

IX
Dont mix between real life and roleplay
Lets be mature and understand that whatever is said or done in-character has nothing to do with me in real life. If I offend you, I would hope you come to me about it and not bottle it up.

X
Roleplay Style
I'm normally posting out paragraphs for anyone roleplaying with me, but I have a life in real life, and may get pulled/distracted by family and or friends. So bare with me. Especially if there's a post order.
