About

From name alone, Baidur reigns from the Azim Steppe of the Qestir tribe, openly mentioning his exile from his homeland. Despite recently having found his voice during the aftermath of an expedition called Salemtaza's Voyage, he still prefers "speaking" via Eorzean sign language of Ul'dahn dialect, especially around strangers. His time in Eorzea has been recent, within the past six turns, during which he's been offering his services as a healer and voidsent dispeller to those in need at the affordable cost of zero gil.Otherwise, Baidur's past is kept closely to him, often avoiding subjects about himself and in turn taking the opportunity to learn about those around him instead. He's a humble and patient man, albeit having a timid demeanor with his constant avoidance of eye contact and physical touch, alongside remaining absent from crowds or large gatherings. With that, he's charitable and promises his want to helping in any way he can.Baidur won't be often found in city-states and if he is, it's primarily Ul'dah's Ossuary or Old Sharlayan's Noumenon, where he takes refuge within the various tomes offered at either location. He's constantly on the move and can be seen traveling on the roads.

Whether it be cleansing magicks or handmade poultices and salves, he's always happy to assist.† Voidsent Hunting, Exorcisms, Rituals, oh my! - Baidur's always on the hunt for voidsent.

How strange.† Crescent Eminence - Did the hound bark?

Out of Character

Hi! my name is Ciid (they/them) and I'm in my late 20's, I've been roleplaying for over 15 years, and I love taking screenshots. Please check out my preferences:- Sorry, 21+ only!- IC =/= OOC. I am not my characters! Please whisper/DM/send me a tell if my character ever makes you uncomfortable and we'll work something out.- Please don't be afraid of communicating with me OOC first. I highly appreciate the communication and ironing things out, or even just headcanoning!- I'm LGBTQIA+ friendly and would rather not interact with anyone who speaks poorly of those groups.- I'm completely cool with lore-bending but I tend to lean towards being lore-friendly.- While I do have my discord posted elsewhere, I don't tend to add people randomly or right away.- Sorry, I don't ERP on this character! I also don't go near any non-consensual or death RP either with this character. Dark/mature themes are OK.Please don't be afraid to ask me about anything!
