Appearance
Tail: He has a short, black fluffy tail.
Hands: His hands are very important tools for him for both dancing and speaking, and thus he keeps them clean and well kept. His nails are filed, but smooth and painted black. From his forearms to the tips of his fingers, he has intricate tattoos that feature mandala patterns, as well as the watchful eye of Radz-at-Han.
Jewelry: Whether it be earrings, belts, hair pins with bells, ghungroo dancer's bells, or anklets with thin, small coins, he is always wearing something that jingles.
Chakrams: He keeps his weapons nearby or hidden on him, even when some of his costumes leave little to the imagination. He is rarely without protection and can handle himself in a duel if challenged.
Mannerisms
Hand Gestures: In his community, hands are very important. They are used in dance to convey expression and emotion, and are also used in a localized dialect of sign language. As a result, Sinh may not raise his voice in anger, but his face and hands will certainly show it. His body language will speak volumes where words may fail.
Look, But Don't Touch!: Touching is his love language, but he really doesn't like being touched by strangers. Likewise, he doesn't touch or embrace people he isn't close to at random. Sinh knows he's a good-looking dancer and gets complimented quite a lot. That won't get his attention. However, he welcomes genuine kindness and curiosity.
Proper: When he does speak, he speaks eloquently. He addresses people respectfully, and does not use nicknames unless there is established familiarity.
Fun-Loving: Despite seeming a bit too serious when he's not dancing, he won't shy away from a good time. He can be quite the hedonist, and enjoys the finer things, but he knows how to appreciate a good, fun time in any form. Despite also having an adventurous streak, it does not mean he actively seeks danger.
Expressive Dance: When he dances, he uses a lot of facial and hand gestures. At times, he may use chakram blades, throwing knives, or swords as props in his dances. His costumes and headdresses are made of the finest Thavnairian fabrics and materials, as his large family all work in textiles, goldsmithing, and more. His accompanying jewelry pieces are usually very ornate with bronze, gold, and other metals and precious stones that shimmy, chime, and shimmer when he moves.
History
Sinh was born in a village in the Vanaspati jungle near Radz-at-Han on the island nation of Thavnair. He was the fifth born child, and the second son of the Vaali family, a family renowned in Radz-at-Han for their goldsmiths, alchemists, and fine weavers. Sinh grew up in a multiracial village that fostered a creative and nurturing environment. While they worshiped the Manusya and Mrga, they encouraged religious, self, and world exploration, as well as diligence in their duties and responsibilities to the village.From a young age, Sinh loved music and dance, and was encouraged to follow his passions as long as he didn't neglect his studies. As a result, he became a well-read, highly sought-out dancer with a distinct style of expressive storytelling through hand and facial gestures. He also uses unique costumes tailored to many of his performances.As per customary among the men in his family's traditions, when he came of age, he elected to become a wanderer with the caveat that he will someday return his soul crystal to his village and teach others what he's learned. Sinh set out in hopes of enriching his knowledge and views of the world, as well as captivating audiences with his street performances.After the events of the Final Days on the star, Sinh has taken to traveling home more often. He still writes and sends them gifts from all around, but he spends a lot more time in Thavnair now.

Open to backstory connections with Hannish or Thavnairian characters! Message me and we can work out some connections.
Weavers and goldsmiths might know him as a loyal customer. Sinh dresses in only the finest. While he tends to most of his own repairs, there may be rips and tears too big for him to handle on his own, too.
Sinh really loves jewelry and is always wearing something that jingles. If you'd like to attempt stealing from him, message me and we can work something out!
I'm open to anything not listed here, these are just a few ideas!

OOC Info
Hello! Thanks for stopping in! I'm Cy (21+/they/them). I'm relatively new to FFXIV. I don't really like to do Discord RP but I am happy to exchange Discord information upon request.I'm a bit shy to approach first for roleplay at times, but do welcome any and all messages. If I'm out in the world, I'm usually OOC, but can easily go IC, just message me and we can set up a scene!
I distinctly separate IC and OOC. I encourage open and honest communication to avoid any misunderstandings. While Sinh may/may not behave curtly or dour in some situations, I am not my character and am always down to pause and make sure we're still headed in the right direction.
I understand that some characters struggle with acceptance of certain things, I will not interact with characters or players who use slurs of any kind, or think it is okay to alienate others on account of their sexuality, gender identity, race, or abilities. Respect is very important to me.
There's a viera fanon tumblr going around whose contents are harmful, crude and racist representations of indigenous cultures, and I will not subscribe to that or acknowledge it as canon. Please be aware of that if you've chosen to use that in your personal canons that I do not want to interact.
Sinh is an adult character with likewise antics. He may be foul mouthed, portray alcohol and drug usage, moderate violence, and deal with other NSFW themes at times. Because of this, I ask that those who roleplay with me be over 18 as well, please.
I'm fairly new to the game and Final Fantasy universe, but will do my best to abide by established lore and remain flexible. Please bear with me and gently let me know if I make any mistakes. I am an eager learner.
