One day, deep in the deserts of Southern Thanalan, a certain spitfire of a Miqo’te was born to the small but well respected sister tribe of the R Tribe. Martel, who was given the birth name Ra’aizen Tia, opened his eyes for the first time twenty six summers ago. His father was the preceding Nunh of the tribe, while his mother was a fierce hunter. A provider for her tribe who was top of her class, and also one of the many women kept in the harem. The pair were by no means a shining example of great parenting, as due to their busy schedules they had very little time for raising their young. But they did try their best. Instead, the responsibility of raising Ra’aizen fell to the rest of the Ra tribe; The majority of which were women. Day by day, he was trained in many different aspects like hunting, fishing, sewing, etc. with the intent of him taking over the tribe years later. He fit into his role like a glove, the spark of a leader twinkling in his eye as he soaked in these experiences like a sponge. By the age of five he was able to kill and skin desert hares, and by twelve, lead small coordinated excursions of his own around the desert. He grew confident, cocky, and extremely comfortable being around predominantly women, but did yearn for another sibling or playmate. Years later he would become the older sibling to his brother, Ra’ohan.The two were as opposite as night and day, like oil and water. Ra’ohan was more quiet, studious, and introverted. He lacked the natural born talent of his brother, but made up for it with hard work and perseverance. He was a more serious and blunt character, comically so when placed next to his loud and cheery brother. Both Ra’aizen and Ra’ohan were raised to be leaders, and the day of their father’s retirement loomed over the horizon with each passing day.

Ra’aizen would first show signs of hesitance towards his Nunh lineage one day, when he happened upon a travelling band of performers in Ul’dah. He was around nineteen, returning from a long and arduous meeting his father sent him to as an ambassador for the Ra tribe. As he walked along the dark alleys of the Steps of Nald, he caught wind of a beautiful voice, one that was so enrapturing that he couldn’t help but be drawn towards the source. The male eventually found himself in the midst of a performance with a roaring crowd, all singing and dancing... but Ra’aizen would find himself entranced by a sole figure. The memory of that night, of that person would be forever burned into his mind. The owner of the voice, enveloped with the finest and brightest of silks and gems, slowly swaying to the beat of their own rhythm under the pale moonlight. Their dulcet tones and honey sweet voice projecting aloud into the cold brisk air as they danced around the stage. Ra'aizen loved everything about it; The atmosphere, the talent, the passion.The Miqo’te would find himself smitten. It was from that point on Ra’aizen would show a different sort of spark in him. One for performance and song. He would sneak off and ditch responsibilities to go see new performances in town. He would practice dancing and singing when no one was around, and would secretly take lessons for stringed instruments in the city instead of attending meetings. He began to love this new lifestyle, but in the back of his mind, was worried for the future of his tribe.Years later, at the age of twenty one, his father would step down as leader due to old age. Ra’aizen would be appointed the new leader despite his protests, and would take over as Nunh of the tribe. He would remember this point of life as one of his lowest, being forced to concede to a future that wasn't of his own voiltion. It was.. incredibly miserable. Leadership duties aside, Ra’aizen quickly grew incredibly bored of the harem lifestyle. He refused to bear offspring, and would rather let the family line die out of spite much to the enrage of his father. As time passed, the issue would remain unresolved. The two would continue to bicker and butt heads, which would lead to a strain on their already difficult relationship. Ra’aizen would eventually snap and decide to runaway; To forfeit his role in the tribe to his younger sibling.

At the age of twenty three Ra’aizen would completely cut ties with his family, forsaking his name and birthright in order to pursue his own happiness. He took on the name “Martel Isolde” as his stage name, and would refer to himself as such henceforth. With nothing but a sack of food and belongings, Martel set off into the world all on his own. He would take on any odd jobs to get by on his journey, from manual labor, bartending, to even escorting. He found the latter to be quite lucrative, but would only choose to rely on his body when money was extremely tight. Eventually he settled as a travelling performer of sorts, playing in shows all across Eorzea alongside a variety of bands, groups, and others like himself.Like a leaf, blowing to and fro he traveled wherever the wind would take him. He would perform on some nights, with his enticing voice and dance. And on others, he would be whispering sweet nothings into a client’s ear on a cold, chilly night as a dainty hand would loop around his arm. There was no telling what each day would bring, and Martel would have it no other way. He chooses to live his life freely, impulsively, and with his eyes ever looking forward.Currently, at the age of twenty six, he has decided to put his performing career on hold. He resided in Shirogane, of the Far East for a short period of time due to work. He has since then moved Ul'Dah, before finally settling in Gridania. He co-habits a home with his partner, Jinh'a Wolndara. Nowadays,the Seeker spends his days working in a different part of the entertainment scene; mostly as a bartender. His dream of making it as a famous performer all but shelved, for now. He now rarely sings, as his voice had gotten a little rusty from lack of use over the last two summers or so.
