Lore Compliance
Where does Zindelo fit in?
I often 'fill in the blanks' when it comes to Zindelo's lore. I avoid contradicting established lore wherever possible, and prefer to focus on areas of the lore/world-building that Square Enix have only touched on somewhat. Zindelo's culture and faith are a blend of my own Romani culture and the traditional Hinduism inspirations present in Thavnair. I like to roleplay with people of a similar train of thought - invent what you like, but endeavour to explain it within the existing setting.
Roleplay themes
what shall we craft together?
I'm quite open-minded when it comes to roleplay. I'm into long-term, lasting relationships or consequences. Mature or dark themes are fine within reason & sensibility - I don't particularly enjoy gore or extreme violence etc. without good cause. Any 'loss of control' scenarios eg mind control magic or anything of the sort is a no-go for me.
Romancing zin
Not for the faint of heart.
Zindelo is a flirt, and will often enter into more casual sexual encounters/ERP, however anything more than that needs to be built up over time in RP. Zindelo is slow to fall for someone, and careful to ensure that he only dates someone that fits well into his life.
NSFW Disclaimer
here lies a slag.
If you already follow me on BSky you'll no doubt know that I do post NSFW content fairly regularly. Most of this stuff is fun, light-hearted and OOC. However, if you're someone who's particularly averse to adult content that's something for you to keep in mind, as I don't really tend to censor myself.

SuryavaH
name Zindelo Suryavah
aliases Sun-bearer, betrayer of flames, second sun of the searing sun, the monk

location His temple & found family in Thanalan, but can be found all over the world.
job(s) Manasra (monk variant)
Relationship Polyamorous
Personality zindelo speaks softly, but with intention - each word chosen like a step across sacred ground. he tends to take things literally, sometimes to the point of bafflement, and has been known to ask very serious questions about jokes. his calm nature and thoughtful pauses often get mistaken for wisdom. he does not rush to correct it.
AETHERIC OVERFLOW
Zindelo’s aether replenishes continuously, shedding itself in slow, spiralling threads that drift from him like heat unwinding from stone. To those with aethersight, these currents appear faintly golden and loosely patterned, never flaring, never fully dispersing - a constant radiance rather than a contained reserve.
Appearance his skin is usually warm with sunlight and slick with golden oil, glinting as he moves. loose layers wrap around him - breathable, flowing, and chosen more for comfort than coordination, though somehow it all works. his jewellery shifts with the day's purpose, and his expression often hovers between amused and entirely lost in thought.
height 6 fulms, 8 ilms
Body type Muscular yet thick & curvy
eyes Amber/Honey
hair Chestnut brown, with a long wrapped braid
tattoos A permanent thavnairian henna.
scars A bite mark on his neck that he often touches when he talks of love.

Devotion
The Manasra is one who walks the path of the manusya, thavnairian divinities. He sees these gods not as heavenly kings, but revered ancestors who walked the path before him. The manasra is not simply a student - he is a successor. Guardian of the land, whisperer of the divine, and keeper of the gate between realms - zindelo meets his duty with a smile.
discipline
The Manasra trains in many different forms of martial arts, charging physical strikes with their own aether. When needed, he also makes use of either a quarterstaff or spear for extra reach. Advanced techniques harness his aether for searing projectiles, or controlling the flow of energy to heal others.

The Kaldari
His People
Zindelo hails from the Thavnair Wilds, where nomadic clans known as the Kaldari live on the road, never settling in one place for too long. These clans aren't particularly well-received in the city, but have a vibrant culture all their own. Perhaps your character is, or knows of, the Kaldari people.* The Kaldari are based on my own Romani culture. Info available in my Kaldari Lore Compendium.
The Manasra
His Path
Zindelo follows a very specific path as a monk, following the footsteps of the Manusya as they once roamed the land. Perhaps your character is a monk on a different path, someone following their own faith, or a hero of some kind who might enjoy comparing notes - and fists.
The Dawnwell
His pride
Zindelo is the master of a small temple in the heart of Thanalan, eager to bring a little of his home westward to Eorzea. Temple and bathhouse both, he has built a community around the fostering of brotherhood, and friendly challenge in his sparring kalari. Perhaps your character stumbles upon his temple, or seeks out his mentorship.The Dawnwell's Venue Carrd
The Isle
His Homeland
Zindelo is a man of the Wilds, but in his years he's become a friend to most in Thavnair. He regularly frequents Radz-at-Han, visits friends in Yedlihmad and delivers supplies to the misplaced peoples of Palaka's Stand. Perhaps your character is Thavnairian themselves, or now resides on the isle.
The Barman
His Work
Zindelo first frequented Tidekeeper's Rest over a turn ago, long before he opened his own temple. This is where he met his partner, as well as his new found family and eventually came to find himself on the other side of the bar. He also works at Steamworks, a brewery based in the East that he came to love as soon as he stepped foot inside.Tidekeeper's Rest Venue Carrd
Steamworks Venue Carrd
The Grove
His allies
Upon moving west to Eorzea, Zindelo first found himself recruited into the Silent Grove, a clandestine organization seeking to topple those in power who have fallen to their greed. Protecting those who cannot protect themselves is something he truly believes in, and although the Grove's methods are often less than legal, Zindelo believes that it's a worthy cause all the same.The Silent Grove's FC Carrd

he chooses his clothing like he chooses his words - light, and never to hide. his chest is often bare by design, not for pride, but because the sun has seen all of him before. the henna across his skin marks rites. every line a bittersweet memory earned in breath and fire.

zindelo's body is muscular, but not cut like a bodybuilder. he believes discipline and indulgence are both holy in equal measure, and his form reflects this. his body is almost always oiled - another part of his worship, and he wears various scents but there's always sandalwood present.Art: Baraemperor
zindelo is primarily a top, although is more flexible on this for a romantic partner. Whichever role he plays, he's a generous lover. long, tantric sessions and intimacy are key - there's no pump and dump going on here. he's extremely flexible and capable of some interesting positions using his gymnastic abilities, and a lifetime of monastic training has resulted in a particularly sturdy body that's both strong and resilient.In terms of his approach, he's dominant without being aggressive. His presence alone is plenty commanding - and he'll ensure you fit him beautifully.
zindelo sits comfortably at about 13 inches in terms of length, and around 3 inches in diameter. the manusya's blessings didn't stop at his soulstone, after all.
