Y'SHENN TIA
The Indomitable Fist
A cheerful, overly enthusiastic monk who enjoys a good workout and brawl. He is bit of an exercise nut, and seems to have a boundless source of energy. His optimism knows no bounds, and there is a childlike innocence to his honesty. His bottomless appetite is said to only be matched by his determination in battle. Once an instructor at the Pugilists' Guild, he now travels the land working as a mercenary and bodyguard to hone his craft and explore the world.

--- Personality ---
Y’shenn has quite a playful personality. He is an easygoing, carefree, and idealistic person who prefers to see the best in others. He treats those close to him as if they were family, often playing the guardian role of a big brother. He is impossibly optimistic, always choosing to see the best in a situation, no matter the odds. Y'shenn is also known to have an insatiable appetite. Although he is very physically affectionate, Y'shenn has little experience with feelings of intimacy and any notion of romance directed at him would simply go over his head.
He comes off as an exercise and fitness fanatic, always eager to test his limits. He enjoys the friendly spirit of competition and pushing himself to his limits. His love of physical activity makes it difficult for him to sit still for long periods of time. He likes to encourage the same type of enthusiasm in his friends, often pestering them to go for a run or train with him. This overly-enthusiastic personality can be exhausting if one is exposed to him for too long, but if one can get past his highly energetic self, one might find his presence quite energizing.
In the heat of serious battle, his face takes on a fiercer expression, his eyes burning with a determination that will not easily yield. When protecting his friends or facing injustice, he can even be rather intimidating. His playful nature can shift into one more akin to a seasoned warrior. He holds a great deal of respect for any opponent. After battle, he has no problems laughing off his injuries and getting friendly with any adversaries, given the correct atmosphere. Not one to hold a grudge, he is always on the lookout for challenging experiences that only serve to further motivate him.
Despite being gifted in fighting technique, his academic abilities are another story. Having little to no formal schooling, Y'shenn can be rather naive about the world around him. He does his best to try and make sense of what he does encounter, but anything non-essential to his everyday life, he has no problems shrugging off. Not one for rigorous textbook studying, he would much rather be outside, moving his body.
--- Appearance ---
As a Miqo’te hailing from the Jaguar “Yah” Tribe, Y’shenn has a golden tanned complexion coupled with platinum blond hair. The strands of his hair darken towards the end, which are more visible under specific lighting conditions. Behind his messy bangs are bright magenta irises and black slitted pupils that give off a sense of youthfulness. His tail is fluffy and a bit shorter than the average Miqo’te’s. Y’shenn is well-built, with broad shoulders and defined musculature due to constantly training his body, with particular definition around his sculpted arms and torso. He carries himself with a friendly, calming atmosphere, akin to that of a protective figure. Despite appearing relaxed and carefree, he can abruptly shift gears into a concentrated battle stance if he feels danger approaching. By doing this, his seemingly carefree demeanor can become a bit intimidating.
He likes to wear loose-fitting clothing that allows maneuverability when fighting. He is not one to shy away from showing off some skin, not because he likes to boast about his physique, but because he believes one should be proud of their own body and does not fully comprehend the social norms surrounding appropriate attire. If it's too hot outside, he would take off his shirt, no questions asked.
Story
Having lost his parents at a young age, Y’shenn grew up in a typical Miqo’te Seeker of the Sun tribe with little to no parental supervision. He would often leave the confines of the village to play and explore dangerous new places. Y’shenn was considered a bit of an outcast among his village due to his adventurous nature and knack for getting into trouble.
One day, a Highlander traveler was found passed out on the roadside near the village. While the villagers were wary of outsiders, Y'shenn could not abandon someone in need, taking the injured man and slowly nursing him back to health as best as he could. Weeks later, the man was finally able to speak. He was a survivor of the Fist of Rhalgr, wandering the land after evading the Garlean invasion of Ala Mhigo. He saw potential in the boy and decided to train him in the martial arts. Overtime, the Highlander and the Miqo'te developed a close familial bond.
Y’shenn was a quick learner and seemed to have an aptitude for controlling his aether. He continued training under his master into adolescence. As the years passed, the Highlander's health began to deteriorate as illness and old age began to take him. When he was finally on his deathbed, he implored Y'shenn to live out the rest of his life being happy and using his strength to serve the greater good. Shortly before his passing, he entrusted his disciple with a small yellow gemstone to remember him by.
The Seeker set out for Ul’dah after burying his Master outside the village. He enrolled in the Pugilists’ Guild, where he quickly rose through the ranks and eventually became an instructor for a few years. After learning all he could from the institution, Y’shenn took to the road as a sellsword. He wanted to explore the rest of Eorzea. At every opportunity, he would hone his craft and fight stronger opponents. His occasional visits back to the Guild were often met with applause and friendly competition from his former students.
When the Eorzean Alliance fought to liberate Ala Mhigo, Y’shenn joined in the fray in order to learn more about his Master’s homeland. After the liberation of the city-state, the young monk took it upon himself to retrace his Master’s footsteps and learn more about the Fist of Rhalgr, discovering more about himself along the way.
