ㅤintroㅤ Born to the falling city of dalmasca, a lone child was snuck upon a merchant ship in the cover of night to save him from a fate his parents could not avoid. Swept away to the shores of Thavnair, Ziero would come to be raised as a merchant in the port city of Yedhilmad.However, the Veena has always sought more to life than just the family business, and it was this call to adventure that has since brought him to the lands of Eorzea.

ㅤ001.ㅤ Please remember that IC interactions do not relate to OOC emotions! How my characters feel about yours remains in the writing, nothing more nothing less. But of course, I'm not opposed to making friends along the way!
That being said, please also inform me ahead of time on possible interactions that can be more intense than anticipated. Bodily harm, serious injury, strong feelings and what have you should be discussed in DMs/Tells and consented upon by both parties. Intense scenes are wonderful, but I'd like to be aware of anything that can effect my muse just as much as I'm sure you'd appreciate a similar forewarning.
ㅤ002.ㅤ Ziero is taken in-character, and I am not looking for a relationship OOC. Respect this decision, as I will rightfully remove myself from any attempts to encroach on my boundaries.

ㅤpersonalityㅤ charismatic and naive to a fault, Ziero is an individual with an undeniably warm and welcoming personality. sharp with his tongue and on his feet, the veena is a go-getting individual who brings a spark to any group he finds himself in.
ㅤbiography.ㅤ he could never tell you about his true homeland, but he's more than happy to share stories of the place he was raised in, Thavnair. A tropical island nation with a dense and lovely rainforest, along with the grand monuments to the Mansuya where one gave respect and revered their protectors. Not only that, but being brought up in the trading port of Yedilhmad gave way to a myriad of new experiences, learning of different people from faraway lands and learning of their own incredible lives.▮ Truly, this was a perfect landscape to raise the curious Veena, though how he came to be in such a place wasn't the most glamorous of tales. A ship set out from Dalmasca, unable to prevent the sudden squall that overtook the vessel. Waves crashed into its sides, wicked winds making the masts creak and groan from the pressure. And amid the chaos as the captain barked orders to get his ship and crew out of the storm in one piece, the sharp cries of the stowed away child below the deck broke through as well. Tucked away amid a shipment of vegetables, a lone kit was found with ears much too large for their head still. No one could explain or knew when he was snuck on board, but perhaps it was a blessing. After all, not too long after would Dalmasca fall, the Viera spared an unknown fate...▮ Now, he was able to live his life happy and free from strife. Several decades to grow into a fine young man, all thanks to his adoptive Au Ra father, Fahruvvet. A peaceful and joyous time, where he learned tricks of the trade and deepened his love of land around him. One that was only broken just days before he was to inherit his father's business, when the sky began to burn above them...
hooks

Especially with a pleasant smile and understanding nature.

bonds
Illariy K'ayab . partner . Love isn't found without a bit of strife, though with the way these two butt heads you'd imagine they would be enemies. Life works in mysterious ways...
ㅤAkimitsu Mochiㅤzuki . close friend . The one that brought the Veena into the fold, meeting outside a closed winery. They've even kissed! But only as a dare. A friend he'd always confide in . carrd
ㅤKuya K'ayabㅤ . friend . Though they never had much between them on speaking terms, Kuya is still someone that Ziero feels close to. Especially because he wants the K'ayabs to get along
ㅤMaev Kralovnaㅤ . Mom . Not actually related to the redhead, but one of the two hrothgars that have taken supervisorship over his collective group of friends. Always reliable!
