How are they dealing with the most prominent of the above? How does it affect their in day-to-day life, if at all? Saibashi takes hardships in stride, believing these to be either blessings or curses in their own right.

~~ODDS AND ENDS~~

Notable Weapons Twin pistols (one silver, one black) named Claire de Lune and Moon River, respectively.

Notable Mounts None

Notable Minion/s A little Susano minion his ally Nim Brasher ( @infiniteleftdoesffxiv​ ) gifted him for his nameday.

Keepsakes/Mementos Searching for a comb housing Kushi-nada-hime to bring back to the Vault of Tamamizu.

Chronic Illnesses or Disabilities Saibashi has a crack in his shell from a Garlean boat rudder. The crack sealed air underneath his shell, making it a bit difficult to dive on his own. Saibashi like to dub it 'bubble butt'. Otherwise, he is unencumbered.

How do they deal with these? A stainless steel weight of a few ponze is drilled into Saibashi shell to level out his buoyancy underwater.

Education Level Saibashi was mentored by his elders, eventually graduating to become a member of the Divine Circle.

Habits Aside from blowing money after a successful job in celebration and his archaic taste in music, Saibashi is probably best known for the rancid things he has to say out of his hell-mouth constantly. Something appears in his awful brain and he has to say it.

 “Yeah, I know what you mean.”

 The Sahagin dangled her webbed feet off of the pier’s edge, sitting on the barren walkway outside of the Mist. Her tail was curled up alongside herself, adjacent to where the teenage Xaela was seated next to her.

 “Take my father, my instance,” Lyuu elaborated, gesturing with clawed hands. “Sssometimes I feel like he’s overworking himself. Which, he definitely is, especially for his age. I just don’t know how to expressss that without sssounding ungrateful, you know?”

 Lyuu was sure Sechen would understand. They were both living with single fathers. Save for the fact Lyuu’s mother wasn’t exactly deceased - or she could be. That was the worst part. The only thing Lyuu knew was that she was unsure and her father didn’t even have that support network anymore.
