Tribal Miqo'te
Ka'kavesha is recognizable as a Seeker of the Sun Miqo'te.
Those familiar with the naming conventions of Tribal Miqo'te would immediately be aware that the tribe "Ka" is one that he made himself, as it is outside of the standard tribal marks.
Ka'kavesha has titled himself as "Nunh" - which either means he fashions himself the leader of his tribe, or he is the designated breeder.
Peculiar Pheremones
Ka'kavesha wears a unique perfume he has custom made for himself. He pays top dollar to maintain exclusive rights to this particular blend.
Among other notes, the most noticeable pieces of the blend include:
Top Notes: Kumquat
Middle Notes: Iris, Geranium, Violet Leaf, Mimosa
Base Notes: Amber, Cedarwood, Hibiscus
All of this to say, he uses his perfume also to hide the natural pheremones that he gives off. A curiosity of sorts, Ka'kavesha possesses both Rut scents and Heat scents.
His rut smells more like citrus and Amber, while his Heat smells more like Hibiscus.
To those who possess a particularly keen sense of smell, the true pheremones can be recognized beneath the artificial smells of the perfume. To most, though, he is able to brush off their confused attraction to the way he smells as his perfume "just smelling nice."
More than a Miqo'te
There is something about Ka'kavesha that is... different. Not wrong, just... different. His presence has a feeling of being not-quite-human, though the only physical expression of this oddity is his strange triple-colored eyes, which change in accordance to his emotional state.
Ka'kavesha possesses a terrifying gift (or perhaps it's a curse) of immortality, with remarkable healing and self-regeneration. In real time, devastating wounds can be observed to knit themselves closed. In the instances where he is killed, death only ever seems to be temporary, a condition in which he inevitably will wake from.
Bites heal, scratches vanish, scars do not stay on his body. In fact, for a man who covers himself with so many tattoos, he can be found visiting tattoo parlors every other week to refresh them. Two weeks of time, and his tattoos are nearly entirely faded off of his skin. This extreme regenerative ability also means his hair grows incredibly fast, requiring constant maintenance.
Additionally, Ka'kavesha appears to be unable to experience pain of any kind. While this sounds like an incredible boon on the surface, and while it does allow for him to get away with some really inadvisable behaviors without long-term physical consequence, it does not render him immune to the immediate consequences, especially when paired with his immortality. His inability to feel pain also means he is unable to recognize his own hunger, thirst, exhaustion, nourishment needs, bladder control, when body is experiencing heat-stroke or hypothermia, and more. He can be seen checking his watch or his tomestone regularly, where alarms have been set to remind him to eat, drink, toilet, and sleep.
For those with a deeper ability to sense the spirit or soul of another, Ka'kavesha unmistakably gives off a sensation of not being mortal. He is clearly a half-breed, but it is still difficult to pinpoint precisely what the other half is.
((highlight text below for spoilers, if you really wanna know. Ka'kavesha does not currently know this!!!))
Ka'kavesha is half-Yokai.
((highlight text above for spoilers, if you really wanna know. Ka'kavesha does not currently know this!!!))
It is also something that is easily sensed by those with such abilities that Ka'kavesha is rather aether-thin. He doesn't seem to possess much aptitude for any kind of spellcasting, and even has difficulty with teleports - especially over long distances, often complaining of headaches or a sensation of Dizziness or nausea afterwards. This effect appears to be lessened if he piggybacks on someone else's teleport. He has a rudimentary grasp of conjuration, but it is certainly not enough to substitute for a genuine Conjurer or Chirurgeon.
In contrast, Ka'kavesha has an abundance of Dynamis. There is speculation that this is the cause for his exceptional luck, though it is currently unproven. This leaves him with a knack for reading people, and sensing what people need usually before they're even aware of the need themselves. Some say he's just observant, he would say it's just a gut feeling, an instinct telling him what he needs to do.
Garlean Ex-Slave
Ka'kavesha has a Garlean Empire Crest burned into his abdomen below his navel.this mark identifies him as a slave of Garlemald. It's location suggests he was specifically a sex-slave.
Ka'kavesha was extensively experimented on by Garlean Scientists and Chirurgeons, being a slave for 40 years in total, 30 of which were spent under the near sole ownership of one doctor in particular.
In spite of this sole ownership, Ka'kavesha was relocated to several Castrums and Labratories throughout Garlemald and other territories. Frequently, his body was "rented" to other scientists or Officers for scheduled/limited amount of time, but always inevitably was returned to his primary Owner.
Ishgardian Employment
Ka'kavesha is currently employed into the service of the honorable Merchant House of Viscount Ivan Du Allamont, and his heir-apparent, Lord Khuyag Du Allamont (Also known as Garden Rivers).
The exact nature of Ka'kavesha's employment remains a true mystery, though he is often described as "Acquisitions and Debt Collection."
If observed while working a job, it often doesn't even seem like he's working. His methods seamlessly appear to be like he's not working at all, differing very little from his day-to-day antics.
Homeowner in Gridania, Resident of Ishgard
Ka'kavesha owns an apartment in the Lily Hills Apartment Complex within the Gridanian Housing Wards, The Lavender Beds. He can be seen frequently coming and going from the Apartment Building, and going about his day with local businesses.
Ka'kavesha also appears to spend a great deal of time at the Du Allamont Manor, in Ishgard. Perks of being one of the senior employees of the Estate, he has been granted residency recognition by the city-state. He can be seen loitering in the city of Ishgard quite frequently.
Primal Allure Lounge
IN addition to his work in Ishgard, Ka'kavesha is employed at a High-Class BDSM Club and Lounge, Primal Allure.
Due to his existing schedule and obligation to Viscount Du Allamont ((and due to the player's IRL availability)), he is only able to work at the Lounge on a bi-weekly schedule.
Most frequently, he is known to work the floor, being bookable as a Companion, willing to service any client who pays for his time. He describes himself as versatile, able to fill both the dominant or submissive roles easily.
Otherworldly Pacts
At current, Ka'kavesha appears to have three ( 3 ) different pacts of magical nature affixed to his body. which are unmistakably void-aspected in nature. He also possesses a light-aspected pact attached to his soul, as well as a strong bond to some manner of creature that gives a sensation of being ice-aspected.
The oldest pact is sealed inside the Garlean Empire Crest branded into his abdomen.
The second oldest is the light-aspected. There is no location of this pact manifesting on his body, but rather exists as a 'taint' to his aether in general.
The third oldest is focused on a humanoid bite on the outside of his left hand.
The fourth is square in the middle of his chest, the mouse-looking tattoo that isn't really a tattoo.
The freshest mark on his soul comes from a cluster of star-like marks on his left collarbone. To those able to sense the element of aether, this would be heavily ice-aspected. Those who are able to see souls might even see that these stars extend into his very aether, blooming in swirls of peacock-feathered patterns of greens, purples, blues and golds. Those who are familiar with the Lemure Pact used by Garlean Reapers may find this particular bond to be curiously familiar.
An Ancient from Long Ago
Ka'kavesha appears to have a soul of an ancient, possessing the gift of the Echo.
Those who are able to recognize souls from before might recognize him as one formally called "Tyche."
Tyche was considered an "Entelechies" by the Ancients, or someone who was exceptionally aether-thin, but possessed an abnormally large amount of Dynamis, and the ability to manipulate it. As such, they possessed very little ability in Creation-Magics, but it significantly affected their general 'luck.'
Tyche, in headcanoned lore as bent by this player, was around the same age as Venat, and likely was offered the Seat of Azem prior to Venat taking the seat. They declined the offer. While they did not stand against the Convocation, Tyche practiced a life of luck and whimsy, relying on gut instinct, impulsive decisions, and a carefree outlook on life to guide their choices, and the responsibilities of the Seat of Azem felt too restrictive to their tastes.
