P'sahji'to Bajhiri

An alchemist and healer with a bleeding heart and a thirst for all things magical -  forbidden or otherwise. 

The younger in a set of twins and blessed with a strong talent for aetherial manipulation, Sahji'to was born under a different name and with a huge responsibility placed upon his shoulders. His late mother saw him as a divine gift from Menphina, and when he didn't live up to her lofty expectations, he was cast out along with his twin sister. He's spent years feeling like a fish out of water, and all he's ever wanted is a normal life... Or something close to it. Then again, what is normal, anyway?

Welcome!

Hello, I am Alex! Thank you for taking the time to read this.Don't be shy! Feel free to message me on my tumblr/twitter (links below!), send asks and dms, whatever you like. I'm extremely anxious and most likely more afraid of you than you are of me.

—  one

I am 18+ (actually over 30!) and prefer to rp with others who are also over 18. Because of some of the mature themes I write with, it is  most likely  a no to any rp partners under 18

—  two

IC =/= OOC. Always. If there's an issue please talk to me about it. If I'm uncomfortable with something I will talk to you about it. I am an adult and I expect my rp partners to also behave like adults

—  three

I can do in-game or Discord rp. My Discord handle is available upon request. If you find me ingame, please send a /tell first. I can get distracted, forget what I'm doing, and not even realize I still have the game up. I don't want to be rude!!

—  four

I am down for mature, dark, violent, any other 18+ themes in rp.  HOWEVER, my hard NO'S are: Noncon/dubcon/rape, suicide/self harm, pedophilia/ddlg/cgl 

—  five

 Yes, I even rp smut,  but I prefer to get to know my rp partners ooc before I do

—  six

I am very lenient on lore and some aspects of Sahji'to's background and hooks range from slightly bending it to snapping it into pieces! If that bothers you, I am willing to work something out if you're still interested in rping with him

As a healer and an alchemist there's nothing he loves more than improving others' lives. He is polite in conversation as well as interactions with the general public, and certainly gives the air of someone with a lot of knowledge about medicine, to those requesting his healing!He can be a bit jittery and anxious in crowds of strangers, and at times will overthink or worry himself into a rut. He's easily startled, a bit jumpy, and in times of conflict would usually rather run or hide than fight. There are exceptions, of course, but they are rare. He is almost never angry, and when upset, tends to cry more than anything else.He does have a bit of a nasty habit of avoiding things that make him uncomfortable... But perhaps if he does it long enough, he won't need to worry about it anymore! (Author's note: He will.)

—  backstory

P'sahji'to was born under a different name to a particularly spiritual branch of the Bajhiri tribe that resided mostly in the northern reaches of Coerthas. After the calamity, the tribe began to migrate around the area, eventually settling in Dravania and striking up a deal with the Dravanians to trade and coexist. His mother was the tribe's leader, and known as The Oracle. Their tribe's Oracles were trained from an early age in many different forms of divination in order to discern what the tribe should do, from their crops to their settlements to their hunting and most other aspects of life. All members of the tribe were taught to speak Dravanian from an early age, due to their alliance with the dragons of Anyx Trine.Sahji'to, the younger in a set of twins, was seen as an immense boon to the Matriarch and her tribe. Naturally blessed with a strong talent for magic, he was regarded as the foretold successor to the tribe's Matriarch, and during his early life and training was treated as if he were perfect, the tribe's 'savior' and their greatest hope. Whatever he desired was handed to him without argument, any conflicts involving him were resolved by his mother or sisters, and he was barely made to even lift a finger in caring for the tribe as a whole. He never learned the survival and hunting skills that the other members of the tribe did, and grew to rely upon his twin for protection, guidance, and company. Being set on a pedestal as he was by his mother hindered his social skills, but also made him wonder if he truly fit into the space his mother wanted to cram him in. As he grew and began to mature, it would turn out that the answer was 'no'.Shortly after the Calamity, his coming-of-age ceremony was held. In this ceremony he and his twin were to receive their clan-marks, in white, as they were the Matriarch's successors. While his twin accepted hers with grace, he did not. He decided that he would take his life into his own hands, after suffering through years of growing into the wrong body and wrong role. He made his clan-marks in black, also fitting of a successor... a male successor.And a male Keeper of the Moon cannot become the Oracle of the clan.Seeing the 'incorrect' markings upon Sahji's face incited a deep rage in his mother, one that she had never felt before. All of her training, her plans, her preparations had turned to ash in an instant. The fury overwhelmed her, and as she held his 'ruined' face in her hands, her claws dug in to his flesh. If his twin hadn't come to his rescue when she did, he would have lost his eye. After repelling her and giving her a matching slice over her eye, his sister made good their escape, and together they fled south for their lives. Traveling through Coerthas to the Black Shroud, they made their new residence in the Carline Canopy of Gridania. At the young age of fifteen, the twins would learn to survive alone in the world, each others' presence the only sense of stability they'd have for a long time.Over the years, P'sahji'to would train under Stillglade Fane and learn alchemy within the Alchemist's Guild of Ul'dah. Inspired by the healers of his old home, he wished to learn how best to help and soothe other people around him. As he studied, a strange stone he'd found during his escape awakened to him, granting him even greater control over his healing and aetherial manipulation. While he had almost anything he could want, he still wished for a home that... wasn't an inn room.While walking through neighborhoods after work and dreaming of the kind of home he wanted to have, he chanced upon a family's garden in the Mists, unable to resist the desire to admire and tend to it. It had been too long since he had cared for any sort of plants. The garden's caretaker, a towering Xaela named Jacques, caught him after the third or fourth visit, but instead of being angry, he invited him into the yard once more to help. The two bonded through gardening, and eventually spent more and more time together...The rest is history.

—  recently...

Things are... Pretty calm, from Sahji's perspective! Sure, he's slipped up and made a few mistakes, but things will be alright in the end! Surely!Well... Truthfully, he's putting off dealing with a few things. And said things are starting to affect him a little more heavily. He seems strangely ill, from an unknown sickness, but if you asked him about it, he'd insist he was fine! Just fine, and dealing with things fine as well, thank you very much!Honestly, having wards put on him by a recent acquaintance and dabbling with somewhat dangerous experiments in the home of another acquaintance probably don't really count as 'dealing with it'. He's still avoiding the root of the problem, refusing to acknowledge its existence.He's been hanging out in a lounge in the Brume recently, every Wednesday night, digging through the owner's library and enjoying the house's drinks. Speaking with the owner on his ideas for that clinic he's always wanted to run has given him even more thoughts about what to put in it, and the main hurdle continues to be the lack of a building. His hopes are high, and he's making new friends, to boot!

—   Tell Me What Ails You

As a conjurer of Stillglade Fane and a seasoned Alchemist, P'sahji'to's specialty is healing wounds, soothing pain, and curing illnesses of all kinds. He's always happy to lend a helping hand, and can be easily found in either Gridania or Ul'dah; simply ask around for a Keeper of the Moon with ashen skin and hair of snow. He's also working to open his own clinic, with the main hurdle currently being the purchase of a building to operate from.

—   Researcher of Magic

P'sahji'to has a deep interest in all schools of magic, devouring any tomes he can get his grubby little hands on. Sometimes this thirst for knowledge sends him to dangerous places, or lands him in hot water with 'forbidden' techniques. Not that he would practice any of it...  Or so he says. 

—   Mysteriously Ill

At times, P'sahji'to can exhibit some...  strange  symptoms: fatigue, dizziness, and a particularly gross wet cough, just to name a few. He insists he's alright, but now and then, anyone with eyes can see that something has wrought havoc upon his body. He's certainly aware that time isn't exactly on his side in this aspect, but getting him to admit he might need help is about as easy as pulling hen's teeth.

—   Forgotten and Forbidden

Though he's not open about it at all, there is a stronger, deeper power within him - the power of White Magic. As one of Gridania's rare White Mages (and even rarer non-Padjal ones) he has a greater grasp over the healing arts than many other Conjurers. He is often called upon when simple Conjury does not suffice. Now and then, Stillglade requests his help with tasks not suited for the typical adventurer, but lately he hasn't been able to answer any of those calls...

—   An Odd Feeling

To those sensitive to aetheric fluctuations, P'sahji'to feels... strange. There might be something a bit  off  about him, though if asked, he claims it is because of his greater aether reserve. That natural talent for magic didn't come from thin air! It's a bit difficult to suss out what  exactly  is going on, as most who attempt to open their senses to his aether are only able to detect an outer 'layer'. Normally, people don't have 'layers' of aether. (( send a /tell if you'd like to pursue this, or if your character would notice! ))

—   Out of the Frying Pan

He's fairly open about his status as an exile of his clan, but considering the circumstances of said exile, he's certainly not in the clear. While his mother is no longer searching for him (since she's DEAD), the rest of the clan at large might be feeling a little  resentful  toward the Keeper for taking his mother's life.
