Info and Rules

This is an information carrd for my RP OC, J'mhati Tia. This is meant to be a brief card and the info below is for better understanding of my limitations and boundaries!
Written by Dedennechu. They/Them. 27. EST. Crystal > Brynhildr ©

 info i.  This OC has been built mostly around his own story and situation. J'mhati is NOT the Warrior of Light. I prefer him as his own character in his own situation, rather than a person who's part of the main story's destiny. (AUs where he's connected to the WOL in some way are fine, however.) info ii.  I'm good to RP in-game and on Discord! Just please understand that I may be slow to reply at times as I have a life outside of this game and things that will occasionally get in the way of my focus. I will be present when I can be, so please be patient! ♡ info iii.  Though I'm still in the beginning of the game, I have actually been spoiled on most events to come in the future of the game and its expansions. Please understand that I am not bothered by spoilers of this game in the slightest and don't bother avoiding them as knowing them doesn't personally ruin my experience. It actually gives me things to look forward to and motivates me to keep playing!

 info iv.  J'mhati's story is based heavily around his own insecurities of being out-casted and treated differently for his shortcomings. His story contains triggers of physical and verbal abuse as well as body dysphoria and similar struggles. Please keep these things in mind if these things make you uncomfortable or trigger unpleasant feelings! info v.  While J'mhati is an adult man and I personally don't mind NSFW conversation and headcanons, I don't enjoy writing sexual interactions outside of dialogue and flirting. Please respect this boundary and if any sort of relationship of this kind crops up for him, I'd prefer to time-skip rather than write these experiences. Thank you so much for understanding! info vi.  As always, J'mhati's opinions and behavior are not my own as the writer. He can be a bit judgemental and dense, which leads him to thinking not-so-wise things. This has to do with his own growth as a person, not my own. Please do not take his reactions as my own views!

J'mhati Tia

I've got a long way to go before I can feel like ME.

 Personality  J’mhati is a softspoken man. He’s kindhearted and caring, living as a chivalrous knight to those who need him and offering his services wherever he can provide. J’mhati can come off a bit introverted and socially inept, but he makes up for it in loyalty and reliability toward his peers. He has a good heart and is known for being good at listening to the woes of his peers and allies. He’s a bit of a workaholic, training hours a day with little rest, but claims it to be the process that works best for him even when he appears weary.Deep down, J’mhati has a lot of inner turmoil that he drowns away through training and combat. He has a harsh side, often catching himself being judgemental of others without speaking his thoughts outright, usually expressing distaste for people who are a bit too arrogant or hostile without reason. He often projects his own shortcomings on people he notices them in, struggling not to view them as he views himself when analyzing others.

Roleplay Hooks

What might you notice first?

  • So Many Scars... On almost every patch of visible skin, Mhati is scarred with what appears to be clawmarks and fanged bites. The most obvious are the claw scars that mar the right side of his face deeply, as well as a bite taken from his right ear. He's deeply self-conscious about it, but when asked, insists that he received those scars from a fight with a wild beast.

  • So Helpful! When given an opportunity to be of use to others, Mhati will often jump to help, even if he isn't exactly qualified. He likes to be of use to others and goes out of his way to try and do so whenever and wherever he can. He's a bit of a loyal dog as a result, tailing after whoever might need him...

  • Always On The Grind It's rare to see Mhati not on the move. He takes several duties at once, ranging from deliveries to beast hunts. And when he isn't doing adventuring work, he's often seen training wherever he can access the ability. He looks a bit tired sometimes, but insists that it's just part of his routine.

  • A Cat's Best Friend? Mhati will at times be seen being tailed by a small wolf mutt pup. She's his companion and often wanders about to sniff and observe the area. She's very friendly and her name is Marmalade! She's receptive to people that might be fearful of her and makes an effort to stay out of their way.

  • A Paladin For Hire Only... Right? Though living as a Free Paladin, properly trained to assist those in need across the land, Mhati's style occasionally represents something heavier than the average Paladin. He has an aura about him in combat that gives an air of strength unlike what most would come to expect. It's been said that when he's focused and heated in battle, his eyes have a distinct red glow...? Peculiar!


Facts and Trivia

Some Bites Of Lore

  • Gladiator of the Bloodsands Mhati is one of the top fighters of the Gladiator’s Guild, boasting strength and speed unparalleled due to his quick reflexes and instincts. He has honed his ability to sense danger before it strikes him. This skill had earned him many victories in Ul'dah's Coliseum, where he had a reputation for defeating his enemies in record haste and sparing them for a chance to battle again.

  • Orientation? Identity?? Mhati is a bisexual man that isn't too sure he even knows what that word is. He’s never really consider it due to being much too focused on his goals and growth. He hasn’t dated others often due to his obligatory distractions and also doesn’t feel adequate enough to be someone’s mate in most cases. It takes a lot to become his partner due to this insecurity. Good luck!

  • A Jackal No Longer Once a Miqo'te of the Jackal (J) tribe migrated to the Sagolii Desert of Thanalan, Mhati was known to his peers as the weakest link due to being born undersized and sickly. Though he has grown to overcome that former weakness and then some, he had never found a place among his peers, nor viewed as a child of their surviving tribe. Exiled as of his own decision, Mhati has left behind his tribe in an effort to find a home where he belongs. He has had better luck out in the world beyond his former home than he ever had staying in the confines of the desert.

  • A Known Face In Coerthas For quite a few years, Mhati had found a long term home in Coerthas. Once a knight to House Fortemps in Camp Dragonhead for a brief period, he had been known (with distaste by many) as the Miqo'te Knight of the Highlands for quite some time. He had become resident of Ishgard for some years, living in the shadows of the Brume.
