Amp, a Viper Tia

Amp, a Tia from a viper tribe splinter in La Noscea.

The duality of man, a chameleon in any setting.
Just don't ask about the scar on his left palm.

Personality

L'amp is, above all else, an incredibly hard worker - though don't get him wrong, when he's not studying or translating or writing transcripts or experimenting or going on bounties with his company or healing his company mates or running errands or... oh? Is that it? Okay, so when he's not doing all of that, he'll be easy to find napping in a sunbeam in the old study that he converted into his sleeping chambers.

And, of course, do you honestly think that an 18 year old boy has learned how to manage his emotions? Of course not! He's a living bottle of anxiety and unhealthy coping mechanisms. It's a surprise if he's not drinking after a particularly stressful bounty - is he even old enough? Who knows, who cares, he sure doesn't. His boss handed him a jar of sake once and it was all over.

But, healers are healers, and ultimately, all L'amp wants to see is his friends and family to be okay. He'll offer a listening ear, some magic and field healing, a quiet friend to sit by. Yes he may be battling major depression and some minor PTSD, but he doesn't want to keep his friends sad. That's his job.

Just don't ask him about the scar on his left palm.

Early Childhood

L'amp's childhood in his tribe was fairly average - nothing was too out of the ordinary for this boy in his tribe.
While it's customary for Tribe L-Mat to not have traditional family units - L'amp couldn't tell you which parents are his - he still grew up happy with a tribe full of brothers and sisters.

Naturally, L-Mat raises its kittens to be bilingual, he grew up speaking Common and a language that was said to be passed down from Azeyma herself. And oh how this tribe loves their patron goddess - they will even give her their tribal designation. She is as much theirs as they are hers.

Book making and historical literature are the backbone of this tribe's development, you see. So he has a talent for making books from scratch, as does the rest of the tribe. He loves his work, and takes major pride in it. Commissions are open!

Like any young kitten, L'amp often found himself getting in trouble with the locals in Limsa, causing a ruckus and sneaking into places he shouldn't be. But it was all in good fun, he'd never intend to cause genuine harm.

His tribe was full of rituals and ceremonies when they weren't trading with Limsan merchants, there's a very special ritual that he went through on his tenth Name Day. You should ask him about it someday!
Or maybe not, that's how he got the scar on his left palm.
And you should never ask how he got the scar on his left palm.

Teenage Years

During his more formative years, L'amp learned many things. How to hunt, make his own furs, taking part in rituals, joining his tribe siblings in fun.

A standard, happy teenage years.
Up until he was around 15.

See, this tribe has a ritual. In their language, they call it Su am Sung which translates to Living Story. You make a commitment to use your rite of passage as a test to take the name and identity of one of the tribe's leaders.
L'amp has always looked up to L'majah, the book and record keeper of the tribe. And when he learned that he could take on the honor of taking on L'majah's identity? Oh, he was more excited than words could
