Trivia
❈ Daisuke, despite being 7'0", is very small framed, rather easy to pick up. Despite it, he still manages to wield the rather large axe he carries around.
❈ He has wyrmblood in him due to his ancestors living among dragons for a time and many in his family all carry some sort of dragon blood and traits with them. However, unlike his parents, Daisuke has the most draconic traits to him; a rather enormous tail he has to constantly be careful of, scales pitch black and extremely difficult to even scratch if maintained properly, his legs from under the knee down is completely covered in scales and has reptilian feet. Even his very scent is that of a dragon that wyrms can recognize. His father reaches a staggering 10'0" because of his wyrm traits. Daisuke himself could've possibly reached such a height had it not been for his unfortunate circumstances that permanently stunted his physical growth.
❈ He is a selective mute. Due to vocal cord damage, he only talks usually in less noisy spaces and can only speak barely above a whisper.
❈ Daisuke has a form of echo despite majority of his timelines not being the WoL. He's able to feel other people's emotions as they're experiencing them. He has no control over it and can happen at random, though they're very sporadic and don't happen often.
❈ Every once in a while, Daisuke has days full of lightheadedness and dizzy spells from not eating, due to his history of malnutrition that has caused damage to his body internally. As such, those days he's usually seen eating consistently throughout the day or eating a rather large meal in a single sitting.
❈ Daisuke still has very much love for music, but mostly ends up humming as constant singing starts to take a toll on his throat.
❈ He's mostly seen wearing a mask to hide the scars on the lower half of his face near his mouth. He's resorted to using make-up to try to blend away as much of the discoloration as possible even while wearing a mask, as well as to bring all the attention to his eyes. He has eventually grown very fond of make-up in of itself.
❈ Daisuke's grown to love high-fashion clothes as he soon grew to love more feminine clothing to wear and they all fit well with his slim body.
❈ In order to hide the plethora of scars on his body, Daisuke eventually resorted to having tattoos all over his body that took a good while to get all done. He's got mostly full sleeves on both arms, and a lot of others scattered across his torso all the way down to his thighs.
❈ Daisuke still has a lot of trauma from his imprisonment; as such, the idea of chains ever near him makes him very anxious. He also has nightmares occasionally and so wakes up frequently those nights and usually goes out for a walk instead of going back to sleep.

Personality

Initially a quiet man, Daisuke has much trouble with communicating in large crowds due to his shot vocal cords, rendering him to rely on hand gestures and body language to communicate his meanings. Sometimes when out in a bar, he'll even point to certain things on the menu to convey things if it's far too loud. Once warming up to people and in a much quieter space, he'll let himself talk despite his soft raspy voice. A wallflower who takes either time or someone with a friendlier personality to help him open up to his more warm, inviting nature.

Lore

(tw; kidnapping, child abuse, physical abuse, experimentation, implied deaths)Daisuke had lived a peaceful first few years growing up despite living in the Garlean occupied territory of Werlyt, off in the far southern coasts of western Ilsabard. He lived a happy first half of his childhood with his Qalli mother and Olkund father who had left the Steppe to hopefully live a quieter life together and one where their child can thrive."You are safe here from all the horrors of the world, child. You are deserving of living a peaceful life here with the family who left the lives they led in bloodshed just to make sure you will never be exposed to it."And yet the moment the man who proclaimed he would be safe had to leave, Daisuke himself wasn't sparred by the eye of the new watchers of his small town. He was looked at for his defining features; looking more wyrm like compared to those around him and his scales were the deepest black with a brilliant shine in the light.They wanted to find out how much it would take to break them.He was taken in the middle of the night, a small 10yr old child who woke up the next morning on the cold, wet floor of a cell; alone, afraid and far unaware of where he was until he had to hear the whispers of scientists nearing his cell. Garlemald.And so he spent the next 15yrs trapped in a small cell where he was starved or given food that would never be considered edible. Every few days he'd be taken out and observed by scientists; going into hours of studying and detailing of all his features before experimenting the durability of his body, of his scales, all without sedation. Each session left him in immense pain, tear streaks on his face and voice too hoarse to barely speak a whisper for the screams he let out for hours and hours, over the years damaging his vocals cords to where now he can only speak barely above a whisper before his throat started to hurt. With each passing day it was agony and little by little he lost hope of ever going home, forgetting where home even was. To those who forced him out and gave him scraps, he was just a nameless Xaelan who was their object to test on.That wasn't to say though he spent all his day to suffer in the loneliness of his captivity. He found solstice in another boy. Another au ra child, who looked far larger for his age compared to Daisuke's smaller frame from malnutrition. Despite his empty looks and lack of words, the larger boy would look at him whenever they passed by each other down the halls of the labs and some days he'd pass the detection of guards to open the other's cell to sit with him, give him fresh leftovers that Daisuke would slowly eat and savor as a luxury. Daisuke found in the other someone he can call a friend despite him being the one actively talking while the more stoic child would sit and listen to him. The had promised that when they would escape, they would do so together.And yet one day...a teenage Daisuke could only look on with a hopeful and desperate look from the bars of his cell as he saw the same boy making his escape out into the world, never to be seen for a long time as he was left behind. The boy stayed for another 10yrs of his life to suffer at the hands of his captors. Receiving further punishments whenever he would disobey orders or would become too loud in his cries and screams. Eventually, he had to endure a punishment where they had burn his face, leaving the lower half with scars and various cracks and broken pieces of his scales.Though yet it would seem at that time, he would consistently have visitors; other prisoners from what seemed like all sorts of places of the world as one to two of them would frequently be put into his cell with him. He'd see the same person for a few days; gathering his courage to ask them questions of the world as they told him and also taught him something new everyday. After a few days, that person would never come back, leaving him alone for a few days before someone new was placed into his cell and the cycle would continue.One day however at 24 soon to go onto 25; instead of a scientist, a soldier would come into his cell as they shoved clothing of a Garlean soldier. A sign they he was to finally leave the cell he's lived in for nearly fifteen years. He was assigned to training out to the fortress bordering between Gridania and Gyr Abania. For several weeks, he listened to whispers of everything around him and gathered as many of maps and supplies to store. His one and only chance to free himself from his shackles, he soon enough made his quiet escape while none watched over him one night. He spent many moons, running and running, until he reached the shores of Vylbrand in a world completely unfamiliar to him that he must learn to adapt to and hide any and all indication of what happened to him. He tried his best to learn odd jobs despite his lack on knowledge of the world around him he barely knows. He eventually took up picking up a weapon, perhaps maybe for now, it's all he's able to learn to help others.Perhaps someday...one day, he'd find his real home and find the boy who gave him kindness in the midst of his loneliness.

Is the person i used to know kind or someone who wished to see me in misery?

Naturally, Daisuke isn't one to remember so many faces during his time of imprisonment, except for a few. Perhaps you would be one of them? Whether it be another captor who had joined him in his imprisonment only seeing him for a few days before being separated. Or perhaps one associated with Garlemald who seen a very peculiar violet haired, pale au ra with such a large tail and pitch black scales.

Ah...so are you one visiting this place? Or perhaps a face i've seen pass a few times?

Ever since he arrived on the shores of Vylbrand, the au ri man has done his best to remember people during his stay and normal trips back into Limsa Lominsa. Try as he may to remember many merchants and business owners while he was sent on the occasional delivery in the midst of his odd jobs. Or even someone rather new to the sights, he wouldn't mind showing someone new around. Perhaps he's a bit lonely and looking for some company to hear one's stories over a drink.

Reading some of these books are rather fascinating. I wish to know more mysteries of this world that i've missed.

The xaela can generally be seen in some sort of library to read books of well...anything really. Ever since hearing the oral stories of others, he gained much interest in reading books of all genres as wanting to learn the world around him, even attempting to learn magic through much reading and trial and error. Care to sit with him and read for a few hours?

Hm? Did you...wish to speak with me or were you just wanting for some company?

Despite his shyness, Daisuke is a bit easy to warm up, especially in a comforting, kind presence of another person. Wherever their journey goes, Daisuke doesn't mind seeing where the path ends up leading them together. (General RP)

Romantic Ships

Hoshiko Tsuji | Childhood Friend
The very man who was the first person Daisuke could ever call a friend during his time of imprisonment when he was younger. While stoic and not one to talk, Daisuke carries on most of their conversations without minding about it. While Hoshiko himself had escaped and was unable to take the younger xaela with him, Daisuke never held any animosity towards the other. All he wanted was to find his childhood friend again and be able to see the world together just like they had promised.
Through much having to sort through new found emotions and regrets, the two took it rather slow on just building back up their friendship alone and trusting to be at each other's side throughout the path they ended up walking on. Eventually, their feelings started to burn into something a lot more, well, at least in Daisuke's case. Nevertheless, he was slow with helping the other understand his feelings until they eventually felt comfortable in pursuing more together.

Atreyu Qestir | Ally and Support
They started as mere aquaintences. In fact, Atreyu himself had even hated the other at one point. Daisuke, while being the Warrior of Light, was rather quiet and seemed willing to let people do as they pleased with their decisions, thus resulting the Qestir's anger as the Scions and the Domans shook up the Steppe's traditions. They didn't have to meet again until the Scions involved themselves once more in The Far East, only this time, Atreyu, at that point with the Confederacy, was chosen to join the Scions on their journey and soon enough was considered part of the group.But everything changed after going into a strange new realm. Daisuke was worn out, anxious in his loneliness, and felt like no one reasoned to hear him. Yet for once, Atreyu did and over the course of their journey together, their support for each other blossomed into something far bigger than they could imagine, becoming each other's Sun and Moon.

Khirtelt Qalli | Shared Kinship
To find someone who shares similar backgrounds in their blood and emotions, Daisuke wasn't expecting to find it in a beautiful Au ra he felt entranced towards to occasionally bed with as they learned of each other. A beautiful dragon under his Au ra exterior, Khir helps Daisuke connect to his draconic side as they grow ever closer. Letting their song and dance bring them ever closer together and never let each other go.They bring out the best in each other as Khir brings Daisuke out of shell and closer to his bloodline he's unfamilar with, while Daisuke brings Khir a sense of home and security, being more than just simply someone who would come in and out of his life in an instant. That once the world was at peace and would have no need of them for their assistance, they would settle down and be each other's rock and spend the rest of their days living a life away from the world outside.

NPC Relations

Gaius Van Baelsar
A man who seemed to care much for the small Xaela child as much as he cared much for the orphans in Terncliff. A man who kept to his word to both the child and his family that no harm would be done to him, staying as far away from Garlean conflict as possible as the parents never wanted their child to grow up into fighting. However, the day the Legatus had left for business in Eorzea, watchers of the town took the opportunity to take the small child away from his family.Many years later, Daisuke's relationship with The Black Wolf has been in a rather strange state. Spewing words of anger and distress, emotions running high as the man had promised him a life of safety and peace with his family, but the moment his back was turned away, the Xaela was taken away from everything. Even now after finally getting to reunite with his family, Daisuke's unsure where he stands with the man he looked up to as a protector as a child. Nevertheless, he wishes the other all the best in his endeavors.

About

Rules

Hi! My name is Leo and well if you've gotten this far, I hope you've enjoyed reading about my sad, yet rather fashionable lizard man. I'm an avid lover of OC lore and love to develop relationships with others over RP. I do have a bit of housekeeping rules, however, when it comes to RPing that I'd like people to keep in mind.➼ 18+ Only! I shouldn't have to specify about how uncomfortable it makes me to interact and write with minors.➼ IC =/= OOC. Literally as plain as I can put it. My OC's actions are not my own. I am not looking for any relationship outside of RP either, I am happily taken. If you can't respect my boundaries, you will be blacklisted.➼ WU/T is generally for OOC to me, I don't mind if you approach me IC in tell, but please note I prefer gradual growth with getting to know another OC so you don't like that, then it would be best to cut ties now. Otherwise, for those interested, I'm generally comfortable talking over on tells or on discord for RP.➼ Speaking of RP, I prefer talking beforehand about what to RP with someone between characters. I love learning someone's OC lore and figuring out how we can set up building relations with each other's OCs so if you're in it for the long run, you're more than welcome to get to know me and my OC!➼ For shipping, please note that Daisuke is demisexual, and relies heavily on learning about and building a steady relations to that person with time before he starts to gain feelings for them. I'd ask by any means not to rush that. He's definitely a multi-ship character so I'm all open for shipping. Poly also welcomed!➼ I'm very selective with NSFW. I ERP if I'm comfortable with someone or have known them well as friends long enough to warrant talking about it. While Daisuke isn't one in particular to have sex outside of an actual romantic partner, there is the few rare occasions depending how well he and the other person mesh together well enough for a possible fling, something rather rare for him to do.➼ My character's headspace can also get pretty dark at his lowest due to his trauma and his ability of feel other people's emotions with no control to stop it if someone wants me to incorporate the latter into the RP. So if you wish to write dark/angst content, you've been warned.➼ Please don't rush me for replies by any means! I both work and attend school so my replies can either range from during the day till the dead of night and I can sometimes can take a day or two if I'm way too busy. If you see I've taken quite a few days, feel free to poke and remind me.➼ Lastly, this is safe space for LGBTQ+ content. Please respect it as such and no any sort of negative jokes or harmful comments. That's an immediate blacklist from me.
