ruzu'li "tau" nhintau

    Tau was born as the third child, and third son of Ruzu Nhintau. After having Tau, Ruzu became frustrated at not being able to have a girl, and became distant from her children. In the events of the Calamity, Tau's father died, and they lost their left eye. His control of aether was disrupted, and while he could still use aetherytes, his grip on magic was too tenuous to pick up casting. After their father died, his siblings left home and his mother became increasingly unstable. Tau bore the burden of her grief and his own for five years before he struck out on his own, determined to reunite with his siblings. After taking on some odd jobs in Gridania, the Scions of the Seventh Dawn took an interest in him. He joined them, believing that making himself into a hero would spread his name across the realm, and his siblings would find him.

  Tau comes off as melancholic and brooding, which is true to a certain extent. He's careful to hide his true feelings in difficult situations, although his trials through Eorza and beyond have made his repressed emotions bubble over more than once. He is one to go along with the flow, preferring for other people to give him goals rather than make decisions himself. They have an unflagging determination to see their tasks through, even at danger to themselves. He doesnt particularly care about the consequences to the world at large, however. He tends to do good deeds only by convincing himself they serve his "selfish" quest.

  They tend to be flirty and make inappropriate jokes, although its more so a malformed coping method than actually expecting it to go anywhere. He has no sense of shame and a sort of twisted sense of vanity where he balances between looking like a total mess and also pulled together. Has an oddball sense of humor and will say weird things in a deadpan voice to those he is close to.
