Name: Rhaq'a Zhwan
Gender: Male
Age: 34
Race: Keepers of the Moon Miqo'te
Birthplace: Black Shroud
Marital Status: Bonded with Rhy Nbolo
Height: 5 fulms 8 ilms
Class: Chirugeon
Personality: A known recluse, Rhaq'a seems to—at first glance—prefer the company of books. However, when in the presence of others, Rhaq'a is very cheerful, charismatic and enthusiastic. Despite his reclusive tendencies, he is more than happy to engage in friendly banter, and especially enjoys discussing more serious topics such as magic and advanced tactics. Rhaq'a is quirky, which is not a trait uncommon to male miqo'te.
Though he's generally mild mannered, Rhaq'a is capable of being upset under the right set of circumstances. Generally a people pleaser, Rhaq'a will go out of his way to help someone if the situation arises, and is willing to make sacrifices.
As far as interpersonal relationships go, Rhaq'a has difficulty trusting others, mostly stemming from the fact that males are not viewed on the same level as women in his culture. While he may appear to trust someone, in the back of his mind there will always be a lingering suspicion. The only exception to this is his bonded mate, Rhy Nbolo, and his sibling Mara.
Description: Rhaq'a is tall for a Miqo'te and slender. He has deep black fur; a common trait for a member of the Zhwan Clan. His yellow eyes are often seen through a pair of glasses; especially if he is focused on his work. Unlike most Miqo'te—especially those from his clan—Rhaq'a has very little facial marking, only having a few patches around his eyes. Rhaq'a's facial features are very 'pretty', and he is often mistaken for being a woman due to his androgynous appearance and slender form. Though it's not apparent through his normal attire, Rhaq'a has a naturally toned body thanks to genetics.
Background: Born of Rhaq Zhwan, Rhaq'a is a member of the Zhwan Clan and lived with them for all of his early life until he went through puberty. He then left with aspirations of becoming either a Conjurer or Physician. It was then he traveled to Gridania to learn the arts of healing.
Though conjury effectively healed injuries, it did little for congenital diseases and other afflictions. So it was off to Ul'dah to learn the art of Alchemy.
Rhaq'a's pursuit of knowledge eventually lead him to Limsa Lominsa, where he studied arcane geometries in order to defend himself on his travels. Now he finds himself wherever he is needed, which seems to be in the company of other Keepers, for better or worse.

Rhaq'a is a member of the Zhwan Clan, a family group consisting of the descendants of Koja Zhwan. Born to Rhaq Zhwan, Rhaq'a was the firstborn son, and second child. His elder sibling by a year was Mara, with his other sisters being younger than him; Rinh, Yehn and Tseh.
At the age of 14, Rhaq'a left his Clan as he was of age to make it on his own, however he was pressured into visiting the Vashai and Nbolo Clan as a breeder and a token of the Zhwan Clan's friendship. He sired a few children; Pyha, Gota, Rhoe, and Semih'a Vashai.
Rhaqa's bonded mate, Rhy Nbolo, is now with child.
