Shijinno

Info


Basic Info


Name

Namiceto (He goes by "Ceto")

Last Name

Pätkä (Not his real last name because Xylons in Estaol do not have last names. They adopt one if they plan to associate with other races more used to having last names in their society)

Name Meaning

Namiceto - A combination of "Nami" which is a variation made from the original Hebrew word "Namur" meaning "Tiger", and Ceto being the name of a Greek titan goddess of the sea; together his name could translate as "Tiger Goddess of the Sea". Pätkä - A Finnish word meaning "Shorty," and while it could be viewed discriminatory, it was given out of love rather than prejudice for the short wing fins he has by those who care for him.

Age

Unknown (He is younger than Meri, Visura, and Nen; appears to be perhaps 16-24 (In human maturity) in appearance? Because Xylons are related to the merfolk of Lato they had formerly been elves and therefore age slower than humans so they are currently around 40 years old which is approximately when they reach physical maturity--20 years is more similar to 13 years old in maturity for them)

Gender

Genderfluid/Male (He does have some feminine tendencies due to the matriarchal society he was raised in but he still is quite masculine, but doesn't really care about gender roles as a whole)

Alto (rare), Pointy Harp Ears (common), Mutated Extra Short Winged Wrist Fins (rare)

Profile


Species Cannon Version:

Personality: Ceto is known for his resilient personality and determination (or in some cases persistence) to get what he wants or feels a need to get done. He comes off sassy, spicy, stubborn and just down right rude and vulgar sometimes but he means no harm by it. His over confidence and sometimes arrogance just gets the best of him. He is actually very sweet towards most, but can be cold hearted towards those that turn their backs on him. He is well aware of his charmingly good looks (and lovely singing voice) and he isn't afraid to flaunt them. Like Meri, he tends to be flirty and even flirts sometimes with him (much to Nen's chagrin). He uses his charm to manipulate others, but not for ill reasons (unless he sees a need for it). Ceto comes off kind of childish (or possibly obnoxious) to some and is very fun loving, adventurous, carefree, and airheaded. He is very leisurely but also devoted to his work, thus his blunt nature is kept in check by some level of tactfulness (though his vulgarity is popular among land dwellers which only makes him excell in his profession, much to others surprise). He is very strict about rules, despite his usual carefreeness and is intolerant of those who break them. He is known for playing Devil's Advocate which also boasts his abilities in his line of work that makes people think before speaking and encourages better relationships. Overall, Ceto comes off very optimistic on the outside but deep down he is bitter to the point of ruthlessness due to how he was treated in the past. He is quite sensitive because of his past, but in no way is he truly uncaring, just a bit more jaded to most and reserves his best for those he cares for. He does have a bit of a temper, but it's hard to make him angry. Typically he calms down quickly thanks to Una.

 

Notes:

His companion Xybun's name is Una which in Celtic can mean "White Wave". She is kind of mischievous...

Ceto was raised in a matriarchal society of Xylons (in fact he comes from the same region as Nen) and often treated differently due to the mutation of his smaller winged wrist fins. Many looked down on him as inferior and he was frequently left as an outcast in the community despite already being an orphan. He made the decision to leave after the final straw of being trapped in a cave by some of the local delinquents that had it out for him. Once he escaped he left for new waters and eventually ran into Meri, Visura and Nen where he was welcomed with open arms despite his differences.

Originally when he first moved into the new community of Xylons he was worried that he would be ostracized once again. While at first it appeared that his fears would be realized he met a Xylon named Meri Käärme and his sister, Visura. The two siblings were very friendly towards him and happily introduced themselves and their friend, Nen Mieli, who had come from the same community that Ceto had belonged to. While Nen had been adverse to the idea of becoming friends with him, he eventually caved into Meri and Visura who almost immediately loved the poor boy for his cute and sweet personality. Thus, the trio became a quartet.

It was difficult for him to get his job as an emissary due to the prejudices held against him from the beginning, but after a lot of persuasion from Meri, Visura and Nen the community finally decided he might be the best pick. After all, he won the hearts of the community with ease and soon after that of many outside races. His sweet singing is also what earned his job because everyone was very impressed, including Nen.

While his name is generally feminine, because he was raised in a matriarchal society he really doesn't care. It was not uncommon for males to be given feminine names, nor was it considered insulting and thus he rather loves his name, even the last name he was given when moving to the new community. Despite the connotation of his given last name being "Shorty" and referring to his small wrist fins, he knows there was no hostility in the naming process and finds it endearingly personalized.

His birthday is the 1st of March! The "Nami" part of his name was also inspired by the markings on his cheeks that give him a tiger-like appearance.

His favourite foods are squid and shrimp. He also loves for his food to be a bit on the spicy side. He also enjoys having his hair played with.

The area that Visura and Meri live is very close to the dockside of a local tavern. Here many rowdy sailors frequent making them a prime target food source for the siblings and thus where Meri gets his flirtatious nature. Due to the fact Ceto has been living with Meri and Visura he has started feeding at the tavern as well, contributing to his own flirtatious personality.
