Sacheo ☳ Que-Sae
“Of course I’ll hurt you. Of course you’ll hurt me. Of course we will hurt each other. But this is the very condition of existence. To become spring, means accepting the risk of winter. To become presence, means accepting the risk of absence."ANTOINE DE SAINT-EXUPÉRY

Sacheo boasts a proud posture that is immediately apparent to the eye, and a strong physique that is significantly less obvious thanks to his preference for loose fitting attire. Soft fabrics of rich, sumptuous hues serve to intentionally obscure his silhouette, hiding also the more utilitarian leather armoring and other tough fibers that hug his immediate body.When he walks, it is with the leisurely stride of a beast with little to fear from his surroundings. Despite how casually he carries himself, however, his bright jasper gaze is always alert, searching around the elezen for even the slightest hint of any person or thing that could threaten him. Eyes obscured by the shadow of a hood or a hat and long strands of magpie-colored hair hold in their bright hues a predatory stare.Still, Sacheo understands the value of good manners, and anyone approaching him in public will usually be met with politeness and a smile baring too many teeth. His voice could be considered soothing if it didn't carry the exact tone one might expect to hear from a starving coeurl.
a deeper look
Archer. Sacheo is well-versed in a variety of weapons thanks to his upbringing, but he favors his bow over all else. Whether he is found prowling the Twelveswood or the dusty streets of Ul'dah, the Duskwight elezen is typically seen armed with his trusted recurve bow and a full quiver.Hunter. A man has to make a living, and this particular fellow does it by selling his services as a hunter who excels at obtaining rare trophies and elusive individuals. He tends to favor jobs that keep him in the Black Shroud or the neighboring region of Coerthas, but some contracts have sent him across the furthest reaches of Aldenard.Seer. Death is Sacheo's most persistent companion, and the man has been marked his entire life by his ability to see the dead. Others gifted with similar sight might be able to see the spirits that linger around Sacheo, drawn to him by his tantalizing aether.This extra sense is a trait that runs in the Duskwight's lineage, the Que-Sae clan, and he shares it with his sibling, Yein. The clan attempted to emigrate from their ancestral underground homes over two decades ago; most were killed in an ambush by Wood Wailers who "mistook" the caravan for a band of poachers.Pipe. After his bow, Sacheo's next favorite belonging is a long, ornate smoking pipe. It is expertly crafted from fine wood native to the Shroud and bears carvings of leafy vines and painted blossoms. He prefers to carry his own grass to smoke, but will happily partake in local specialties when the opportunity arises.Voice. Handsome and polite (enough), Sacheo doesn't typically raise his voice beyond its rolling baritone. Arthur Lee is a good reference.

Thanks for checking out my profile. XIV pals call me Iron or Yein, and I live for lifting weights and eating noodles (not necessarily in that order). Most of my XIV time is spent raiding and gposing, so I don't roleplay much. But if you'd like to yap about OCs or meet up at a venue, feel free to shoot me a message.Be aware that much of my OC writing incorporates the immigrant experience, including racism and xenophobia, as I'm East Asian IRL.Some additional housekeeping ⸺
❖ IC ≠ OOC! While I may draw inspiration from real-life social issues and experiences, my character is not a stand-in. I am NOT my character.❖ I'll not engage with bigots of any kind. OOC racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, and other such -isms will not be tolerated.❖ I will not RP with anyone under 25.❖ Sacheo is a baby alt. You will typically find me logged in on my main Iron Sparrow or, more rarely, another OC. I'm often tabbed out but will try my best to return DMs.
