Personality

  • Likes: Competitions, Hunting, Performing

  • Dislikes: Bland food, Political Jargon, Sigrid ----------------------------------------------

Dancer, Singer, Hunter, Actor, Husband to the Warrior of Light, and now Consort of Doma, He holds many a title and is excessively proud of each one. Ever the lover of being a complete show-off in all his talents, his ego is easily bruised by those not giving them their proper reverence.Despite the talents and titles he holds, however, he is a complete loser beyond the veil. With not much intelligence outside of what he masters, his poor adjustment to society outside of acting, and having his heart on his sleeve - despite his protestation to the fact - the second he opens his mouth the appearance of grandeur falls off of him.He has a sharp tongue, and he wields it without restraint. He puts on a rude, barbed persona, though if you've gotten close to him he is loyal to a frightening degree. He would do practically anything for you, but never admit to doing something nice on purpose- unless there was opportunity to brag.
His temper is short and his stubbornness unshakeable, once he's set his mind on something it's nigh impossible to try and steer him off it.
He doesn't suffer any one that wastes his time unless they're stroking his ego or challenging him to a contest, but flattery will get you everywhere with him.


Relationships

The Tankards

Brought unknowingly into a deeper plot devised by Sigrid, Li'to was recruited into the Tankards. What started as a simple means to leave the Shroud, led him on a journey across the realms and sea of stars to a brand new, grander life.He always butted heads with Sigrid, someone so aloof with an all-knowing act. After accidentally learning the true purpose behind her actions however, he reluctantly aided her in guiding the narrative to Ultima Thule, to bring back her friend and save the star from untimely demise.Ralofir perplexed him from the beginning, kind and with an oblivious air that hid a darker secret. It did not take too long for Li'to to start catching feelings through their adventures. Through every trial and tribulation, those feelings only grew deeper and stronger between them, now eternally bonded.Lilitt was the third member to join the group. Incurably curious, positive, and with a penchant for making new tech, she would join the Tankards to get back home to the First. Though she has succeeded in getting home, Li'to visits her and his Amaros to help with her struggles and regale her on events she's missed often.N'mavi was the first encounter he had, though she was the last to join the Tankards' party. Their relationship started merely as her funding his failing leatherworking business, now she has become a key member of the group.

Siblings

Separated for years after escaping Garlean oppression, Li'to was reunited with his siblings in the lead up to Endwalker, though like most things it didn't go quite to plan.Raam'a has the typical older brother complex, but after being forced into enlistment as a Garlean soldier, he is having to relearn how to be a person in the outside world again beyond his abuse. Despite all he's missed, and Li'to acting more like an older brother to him now, he tries to be a support for him as much as he can. Li'to constantly putting himself in danger does not help.Lito escaped the Castrum with her brother, before they were separated in their run from Imperials. She was swept off on a Sharlyan bound ship, where she gained Archon status through her prestigious studies. She was kind and confident, and highly intelligent. Despite being Li'to's younger sister, he always looked up to her and was highly protective of her. She died to sickness during the Final Days while the Tankards were in Vanaspati.Mavi became that of an adopted younger sister to him as she spent more time around him. Feeling guilty for taking advantage of her naivety with her wallet, he makes sure no one else tries to scam her. Her secretly being an Archon from Sharlyan as well came as a big surprise, she uses her knowledge and access to research to help Li'to with his newfound condition.

Hien

When the young Doman lord challenged him to a hunting competition, it was the first trip to a hard fall head over heels for him. His ability to spar with him both with words as well as swords, all wrapped up in his down to earth personality won Li'to over. Hien could see right through Li'to's put-on bravado and barbs to the brave, caring brat that he was. He provided a steady, broad shoulder to lean on when the world around them got messy. Li'to would stand with him through all the trials and responsibilities Hien faced in obtaining freedom for Doma. The pair became smitten with each other, and after the events of Endwalker they found themselves with a small heir to raise in their odd little family.

Ralofir

The building of their relationship had been arduous, but it only made it stronger. Li'to started to fall for him in the wake of Heavensward. They were on and off, both attracted to each other but too afraid to get too close. In the end of Stormblood, Li'to confessed his deeper feelings for him...and Ral his secret of being a past Garlean spy. Li'to nearly killed him in betrayal, putting a cavernous space between them after Sigrid stopped him. Being stuck in the First for three years gave him time to take Sigrid's words to heart; that despite a terrible past Ral now tried to make up for, he loved him for exactly that reason, and most of all for the man he was presently. They now understand each other in a way no one else can, and would do anything to protect each other. They have taken their rest, and approach new adventure with renewed vigor.

Others

J'ehster - From the memories Sigrid showed of him, he seemed someone worth saving, one much more worthy of living in this world than himself. Li'to sacrificed himself so Sigrid could call him back with Ral's Azem crystal. When dying didn't go to plan, he found it hard to be around the Green-haired miqo'te on account of the sheer brightness of his soul. They are amicable, and lucky for Li'to, he spends most of his time far off on his island enjoying retirement.Geva - Rude, harsh, and brash, she was merciless with her berating of the young leatherworker. At first he saw her as any Gridanian; belittling his skill as a competitor and 'mooncat'. But soon he came to understand she simply wanted to guide him to doing the job right with tough love. He has a respect for her now, and owes a lot of his refined skill to her.Mauh & Uhra Lizeh - When he killed their abusive leader the Coeurlclaw King, he took pity on them when they had nowhere to go. Quickly they became like little sisters to him, and he arranged a place for them at the Rising Stones. They still work with Tataru and love hearing the tales of what all the Scions and their newfound brother get up to.Emet-Selch - To say their relations are complicated would be the understatement of the millenia. Their fling was on and off, Li'to battling the strange pangs of nostalgia and the fiery hatred in a spiral, Emet enjoying every second of it. Though, thanks to the Ancient's own sentiment for his old love, he brought the Miqo'te back from death in Ultima Thule.
Eventually, to avoid losing his memories in the aetherial sea, he decided to linger at Li'to's side as a spirit, much to Li'to's chagrin.

Hooks

Hunting Season
Li'to is a skilled hunter and loves making a competition of it. If you've a thought to challenge him on it, or to a spar, he finds it impossible to refuse.
aaThat's Show business
Fan of his shows? Coworkers? Theatre rivals?
aaaGarlean GroblemsDo I know you?
Li'to has traveled quite far over his life. Were they childhood friends? Considering his loss of sight recognizing old faces has become difficult, maybe you can remind him.

Phanes

Phanes worked in the Bureau of the Architect along one of his partners,
Hythloadaeus. He was even more of a slack-off than his lavender
haired lover, often scheming and causing general mischief around the workplace to Archimedes (Byregot)'s dismay. He would constantly pester the
researchers of Elpis to submit more feline familiars and concepts, but all he
ever received was shark, after shark... after shark. When he tired of dealing
with the aquatic deluge of submissions, he would be near his other partner,
Emet-Selch, teasing him relentlessly and raving over the latest plays they'd
seen.
Phanes was a good friend to Azem, often happily abandoning his duties to
be dragged off on a wild adventure with them. Phanes had an innate
ability of soul sight. Though not as impressive as his partners, it
always came in handy helping with the tedious tasks Azem got
herself involved in. He and Phanes gave Emet twice the headache
anytime the two were involved in mischief together.
Phanes was one of members brought into the fold by Venat and Azem
regarding the truth of the Final Days to come. He denied Emet's attempt
to bring him through the confluence during the Sundering, knowing the
part he needed to play in this story.
Though Phanes regretted leaving his other lover to face time without
him, he took comfort in knowing they would meet again in the most comedic of
circumstances, and that they would both still be close to Azem even in
the distant future.

History

Born in Yak T'el, Novea stayed with the Mehwahhettsoan tribe for 10 summers. His brother took him on many hunting trips to hone his skills as well as keep him away from their controlling mother. Often the trips would be long and far, where Novea got to meet other tribes and people as well as experience much of the land the majority of their tribe didn't explore usually. One day his mother was banished from the tribe for her behavior, and to the horror of the rest of the tribe she forcefully took Novea and his two siblings off to Eorzea with her. Upon entering Gyr Abania however, they were immediately caught in the middle of a Garlean siege.Unfortunately timed, Novea suddenly became afflicted with the Echo, and a scientist present took immediate interest in him.

His mother made a sort of bargain with the man- Novea's mother and siblings would gain Garlean citizenship, in exchange of taking her child as a test subject to continue the scientist's Echo related experiments. The young Miqo'te was given the new name Novea Subject LXIX Potitus by the scientist who had such a sickening fondness for him. He spent 10 more years as a test subject, the experiments torturous, and the 'treats' of visiting with his siblings growing fewer and fewer when his older brother was forcefully enlisted as a soldier.
During the calamity he finally had opportunity to escape. When he stumbled in on his mother's attempt to give his sister to scientists wanting to test the results of the experiments, he flew into a rage. He killed his mother as well as the remaining Garlean scientists, and escaped the bloodbath with Lito.

After their grand escape, he dawned a new name, taking his younger sister's old spelling of her first name to become Li'to Vita.Once safely free of Imperial chase, he attempted to make his own way in Gridania to little success. He was stuck scraping by on the outskirts until meeting N'mavi, and the beginnings of the Tankards party shortly after. Sigrid had an interest in his skills and ability of the Echo, and he a means to leave the Shroud and attempt to find his siblings. So he was brought into the team that would lead to grand adventures across the realm and beyond.

@OinkyFantasy

At the edge of Ultima Thule, when Sigrid's plan to bring back J'ehster failed, Li'to stepped in. He relinquished nearly all of his aether into the Azem crystal to allow it to call J'ehster from Sigrid's old dimension, which killed him in the process. His sacrifice worked, but he did not get to stay dead for long. His soul was returned to him by Emet, and a certain queer crystal the Ascian kept on his person was bound to his heart to keep the permanant aether sickness at bay. He came back blind, but with an ability for soulsight thanks to the crystal lodged in his frame.

He was able to adjust to his new disabilities in time, and enjoyed the restful years after the events of Ultima Thule. Between properly honeymooning with his partners, raising an heir with Hien, and keeping up his performing business, he's kept pleasantly busy. He has begun to master Viper, taught by his brother, Raam'a for a change of pace. With the Tankards soon traveling to Tural, Raam'a is excited to visit their homeland again. Li'to hopes to remember and reconnect, and looks forward to what other adventures will await them in the dawn and beyond.
