History Characters / FinalFantasyXIVBeastTribes

* ZeroPercentApprovalRating: No one has a good thing to say about him, given his wanton cruelty, demeaning of the beast tribes, and his reputation as an assassin. He's just fine with this. If anyhting, he enjoys making people hate him with his constant KickTheDog moments.

* CatsAreMean: He's a villainous Miqo'te.

* UnexplainedRecovery: Even though Deftarm manages to shoot down his stolen manacutter while they're several thousand meters above the ground on the floating isles of Azys Lla, a fall that should be assuredly fatal, he returns in ''Stormblood'' with nary a scratch on him.
* TheUnfought: In each of his appearances, you never get to fight him. [[spoiler: It's usually your beastmen friends (and non beastmen) that do the fighting via cut scene.]]
* VillainExitStageLeft: He hightails it whenever it looks like he's about to be captured and held accountable for his crimes, always seeming to have an escape plan should things go south. Though his escape plans usually go awry somehow, he always manages to show up later. [[spoiler:Subverted in the ''Stormblood'' questline, where he dives into the water to avoid one of M'zhet's grenades, only to get spotted by a shark in the water and dragged underneath.]]

[[folder:The Sylphs of Little Solace]]
Untempered Sylphs who the player initially talks to as part of the main story. Friendly to the people of Gridania, they desire nothing more than peace, and fear that their "touched" brethren will bring the Black Shroud to ruin if left unchecked. Recent rumors have come to light that an ancient sylphic prophecy is about to occur, with the birth of a Chosen One who shall lead the sylphs into a new era. The sylphs of Little Solace wish to obtain the Chosen One's pod so they may bring peace to the forest.

As of the events of ''Death Unto Dawn: Part 2'' (patch 5.55), hostilities between the Beast Tribes and the City-States of Eorzea have ceased, with both sides of the ages-long hostilities united by a common cause. The game to that point had repeately shown there wasn't all that much diffrent between the "Spoken" races and the "Beast" races aside from thinly-veiled racism on the part of the Spoken. As such as of patch 6.1, most instances of "beast tribes" from that point forward have been renamed to simply "tribes" or "tribal".

* OnlySaneMan: The most level-headed of the trio of Namazu heading the festival. While Seigetsu and Gyoshin argue over which one of them should be sacrificed in a wicker man, Gyorei points out that the sacrifice doesn't need to be a living thing.
* WomenAreWiser: She lacks Seigetsu's overwhelming arrogance and superiority complex as well as Gyoshin's dimwittedness. This lets her act as a voice of reason and a mediator between the two to curb their worst impulses.

* WeAreAsMayflies: Even moreso than their Source counterparts - a Qitari is lucky if they reach the ripe old age of ''twenty''.

* ReformedButNotTamed: Even after it agrees to call off its invasion of Ethierys and agrees to help out the Last Dregs, Stigma-4 still ultimately believes that ViolenceReallyIsTheAnswer for most problems and its solutions for the various problems that arise around the Dregs involve liberal violence.

-->'''Stigma-4:''' However, the infantile nature of the Miw Miisv begets a necessity for emollient ministrations to be applied to said comestibles before consumption. [[StunnedSilence Rapid blinking detected.]] Reiterating in layman's terms: the Miw Miisv are babies and thus require soft food.

* LonelyRichKid: He has an obviously distant relationship with his father, and also admits that he is used to people only taking interest in him as a way to curry favor with his father's company. Not much during his story occurs to contradict this, with one of the NPCs all but explicitly admiting this is the reason they are helping him out. Considering the context, it's not shocking that he jumped ship to the Ehcatl Nine almost as soon as he got the chance.

* YouNoTakeCandle: As a Gajasura Matanga, Acala and his fellows speak in a broken version of the common tongue, reflecting the Gajasura's primitive and savage lifestyle.

* GadgeteerGenius: He's a technical whiz with too many ideas for his former practical position in repair work and maintenance. He invented the (unfortunately murderous) supporter units found throughout Bestway Burrows and instantly agrees to join the Dreaming Ways at Hoper's Hold for the chance to make whatever his heart desires. He later refits a moon hopper to serve as a high-speed racing machine capable of competing with Omicron tech and Ra-La, a death deity that a Nibirun transformed into to particiapte in the Hyper Hustle.

* TheCynic: As a denizen of a race that once succumbed to despair, N-7000 is generally pessimistic when things aren't going the way they should in contrast to Jammingway's idealism. When the Ea and Niburuns fail to show interest in the Last Dregs, N-7000 is quick to remark that any further expansion of Elysion is nigh-impossible. Despite this, N-7000 continues to support Jammingway however possible.

* SoreLoser: In the ''Endwalker'' Allied Tribe Quests, the Hippo Riders, Last Dregs, and the Dreaming Ways all decide to host a race at the end of the universe to be broadcast across the cosmos. N-7000 smugly declares that the Omicrons will definitely win thanks to their tailor-made racing machine, [=V17CT0RY=]. But to N-7000's alarm, [=V17CT0RY=] is blasted out of the race early on by a Miw Miisv's electric blast. An indignant and frustrated N-7000 tells you after the race that it's already preparing the production of an [[TheresNoKillLikeOverkill Omega unit]] for the next race and to prepare for your defeat.

* GadgeteerGenius: He's a technical whiz with too many ideas for his former practical position in repair work and maintenance. He invented the (unfortunately murderous) supporter units found throughout Bestway Burrows and instantly agrees to join the Dreaming Ways at Hoper's Hold for the chance to make whatever his heart desires.

* VitriolicBestBuds: Over the course of the questline, Jammingway and N-7000 are constantly throwing insults at each other. And yet, when N-7000 wonders if it and the other recreated civilizations can even be classified as "living", Jammingway cuts the Omicron's existential crisis short by telling it that they're alive as any other. In a rare moment of sentimentality, N-7000 sincerely thanks Jammingway for their support.

* ReformedButNotTamed: Even after it agrees to call off its invasion of Ethierys and agrees to help out the Last Dregs, Stigma-4 still ultimately believes that ViolenceReallyIsTheAnswer for most problems and its solutions for the various problems that arise around the Dregs is liberal violence.

* DitzyGenius: They're a race that can maintian a starship the size of a moon for twelve thousand years, and have taken as many steps as they can to ensure that all of the Eorzeans would be comfortable on the trip. But sadly, their understanding of Eorzea was based off of loose interpretations of Hydaelyn's requests, as well as having nothing to base their understanding of Eorzea from but books and the ancients. As such, the bunnies certainly try their hardest, but they consistently fail to measure up to what the Eorzeans would actually want. This causes no end of frustration to the Loporrits after they meet the Scions, since they can tell that the Scions don't like the accomodations, but won't say why out of politeness and not wanting to belittle the Loporrits' efforts.
