K'melo has been all over the world, though not always entirely by choice. He's a Gyr Abanian native whose tribe migrated to Thanalan to avoid the Empire, and as one of the eldest sons to his tribe's Nuhn, he was expected to help maintain and strengthen the tribe-- which, in actuality, meant that he was instead going to leave that to his brother and flee to Kugane without a word to anyone, because he didn't want the pressure that comes with being a Nunh. As expected, he's on shaky ground with his tribe and is curious about how other young Seekers feel, and how others his age live in general. He's spent the last ten years in Kugane and Othard, and after a short stint in Thavnair, he's recently gone back to Eorzea for the first time since being gone.

Hooks

Always open to more, but here's some basics!Fighter - K'melo has a history of being a performance-fighter, think WWE style. He's only done some minor matches over in Kugane under the name of Inner Beast, so feel free to either recognize him or to have been one of his competition! If you're someone he competed against, we can decide who came out the victor with a /random roll. While he's currently not actively looking for anything big, he might be interested if the right opportunity crops up!Fighting 2.0/Sparring - While most of his fighting is for entertainment purposes, and he doesn't particularly have a short enough temper to start fights for no reason... he's a scrappy lad and not above an alley or bar fight if he needs to defend someone who can't defend themselves. He's always looking for sparring partners as well!Magitek - After stealing some magitek from an imperial base (his beloved bike), he's taken kind of a liking to the stuff. He's entirely self-taught and looking to learn more though, so he would love to meet an experienced engineer or tinkerer that could teach him.Are you hiring? He's always on the lookout for any jobs he can find, whether that be running simple errands, to deliveries, to maybe even bodyguard services. He won't do anything illegal or violent, but everything else is fair game.Past & Tribe - You might know him if you're a Seeker from a tribe that might have been acquainted with his, whether they be from Gyr Abania (near Ala Mhigo, specifically) or from later on around Thanalan after his tribe migrated. There were definitely some wild rumors that went around when he first left his tribe. Or maybe you're from a K tribe sept yourself. If you want to use this hook, please let me know ahead of time so we can plan accordingly!

Contacts

( K'dahn Nunh - Brother )
Only relevant if going with the Past & Tribe hook, but his brother is a point of contention for K'melo. Feel free to bring him up if you want to shit-talk him together as a bonding exercise, because the guy sucks!
( C'reva Zolwe - Mate )
His own personal sun. There aren't enough words in the world for him to sing her praises. He's in love and monogamous, so any flirtatious advances will be immediately turned down.

OOC

CST | 21+ | K'melo Tia on MateusHello! Pretty standard stuff here. IC=/=OOC and that divide is very important. Real life obligations will always take precedence over RP. Please be respectful of me and I'll be respectful of you.Absolutely No ERP, character death, homophobia, transphobia, or racism.Always looking for sparring partners, mentors, and all around fighter themed connections when it comes to this character!Maybe open to some darker or more serious themes, but only with planning and proper discussion first. I'm not looking to maim or traumatize my character beyond repair or do anything that would take him out of commission for prolonged periods of time.I'm okay with both in game and discord RP, but I prefer my in-game stuff to be event-based. Post length varies, but multi-para in discord and probably less so in-game just to keep the scene going at a reasonable pace.If you'd like to plan something beforehand, don't hesitate to approach me either through whispers or twitter.
