Early Life

Fourth born and only son to Keeper chieftain Elu Tayuun, Cassius was born in the outskirts of the Black Shroud. He was a shy child, always being found on his mother's hip at a very early age. Though it is very uncommon for male Keepers to stay within the village, Cassius never felt unwelcomed at home. As he grew older, he would also slowly break out of his shell. Everyone in the village knew of the chieftain's son and his warm, bright presence. He was respectful of those around him and would assist the village every day, always wearing a smile on his face. He would also be found singing songs alongside his mother and performing plays he and his sisters would write in the village square. Those that knew the boy from an early age knew of his angelic singing voice and would eventually be known as "The Song Upon the Wind".
He grew up very closely alongside his three older sisters. They were extremely protective of their baby brother, taking him under their wing. His eldest sister Kita would serve as his combat instructor, guiding him in the ways of archery and act as his sparring partner. Rhya would instruct him in swordplay and basic alchemy, where he would learn how to make his own medicines. Though he wouldn't be able to make anything quite close to his sister, Cassius could make basic healing salves that he could keep on hand. He and his youngest sister Alia would often be found at the forefront of hunting expeditions. Cassius would recall Ajna proving to be a strong and dependable leader, just like their mother. She was also found to be quite the prankster, though majority of her schemes would be quite harmless. Unfortunately her baby brother would be found guilty for some of her pranks, much to his dismay.

After Cassius intervenes, the two make their way back to Gridania to treat Q'kie's wounds. While recuperating, Q'kie asks Cassius if he could join him on his journey.

Hello!
Thanks for taking the time to read about my boy. My pen name is Vivi, but you can also call me by my character name Cassius! He is a WoL, but I do have a few other characters that are non WoLs that I post about on my socials! I have been playing FFXIV since 2018. In game, I enjoy glamouring, gposing, and endgame raiding that I occasionally stream on Twitch!
I'm a bit reserved at first, but I do welcome DMs or tells in game if you see me! I rarely RP unless it's with close friends, but I do welcome any stories or platonic relationships with people!
Below is information on the widgets and art I use on my Twitch:
