The Nathus Family

Intro
Geiv is an adult southern sergal who lives in Gold Ring and works as a garden knight, protecting his employer (Asher, a southern noble) and his employer's eltus garden. He is 15 years old in Sergal years (@100 RC), which is ~20 in Human years. He grooms his mane so that he looks more like his mother, whom he adores. Geiv lived in a studio apartment by himself from 95-99 RC, prior to his engagement and marriage to his spouse Emile. He currently lives with Emile in Gold Ring.

Geiv has a sweet tooth and loves mochi, rock candy, and root beer. He prefers the texture of meat compared to fish, so he'll usually swallow fish whole to avoid chewing them. He's never ventured outside of Gold Ring because he prefers the safety and security of the city, but he plans to visit Emile's family in Reono one day. Geiv is positive, shy, needy and impulsive - he tends to fall head over heels for other sergals. Geiv always has good intentions, but his mischievousness can get him in trouble.

Geiv was born in GR, raised in GR, and is proud of his city. He considers outsiders to be less civilized, but doesn't think of them as inferior and loves to hear their stories and tales. Geiv has a low alcohol/chemical tolerance, so he gets intoxicated quickly. In addition, he tries to avoid liquor, but he enjoys small amounts of miasma. Geiv had some unresolved daddy issues because his dad left when he was little, so as soon as Geiv reached adulthood he coped with these issues by being frisky and promiscuous. Geiv was known to have slept around with dozens of sergals and nevreans from 95-96 RC, and he even ended up getting his friend Sachi pregnant. In 97 RC, Emile helped Geiv resolve his issues and give Geiv peace of mind. Later that year, when Geiv's child was born, Geiv was on the right track and took great care of his newborn daughter.

Geiv's Parents
Geiv's father, Jay, was known for his ability to hunt Talyxians, and for his love of western sergals - which explains why Geiv's mother is 1/2 western, and why Geiv is 1/4 western. Jay, an adventurer, was a (pure) civilized southerner who loved fighting Talyxians and exploring almost as much as he loved his wife.

Jay didn't like to stay in one place for too long, so a year after Geiv was born, he left Gold Ring on an expedition to reach the Vetla Forest (North of Nevrea). He met a southern sergal named Drakken along the way, who was starry-eyed and craving his first real adventure. Jay promptly brought the unassuming southerner on a hunt to kill a giant talyxian sand worm.

When Geiv was little, his mom used to joke that his father was "on his way to the western lands, because he ran out of fresh tail in Gold Ring". Geiv's mom was very attached to Geiv once his dad left, and raised Geiv herself until he reached adulthood at age 10. As Geiv ages, the tannish white color in his fur gets whiter, but the brown color remains the same throughout his life.

Emile
Geiv met his spouse, Emile, in 95 RC when Emile moved from Reono to GR. They were both young adults at the time and quickly became close friends, but they didn't take their relationship seriously until 98 RC. Geiv and Emile followed Agudner tradition by getting married in 100 RC, moving in together and settling down. Emile's ties to Reono's nobility have allowed them to live comfortably amongst Gold Ring's nobility, but they have little to no power since Emile is not a sergal and Geiv was not born a noble. Emile is strongly influenced by his stalker, Lexam, and his grandmother Jeneva. Lexam is a female stalker born in 0 RC who grew up with Emile's grandmother Jeneva, eventually developing the same personality as Jeneva. Lexam stays with Emile and looks after him, filling the role of Jeneva (who passed away shortly after Emile's birth). Emile is Geiv's favorite person to snuggle with.

Tessa
Geiv's daughter, Tessa, was born in 97 RC after Geiv slept with his female friend Sachi in 96 RC. Geiv took Tessa in once she was born and raises her with help from Emile and Sachi, loving and caring for her as she grows. Emile handles Tessa's education as she gets older, while Geiv plays with Tessa and eventually shows her how to defend herself. Tessa is mostly southern and eastern, sporting pinkish brown fur and light purple eyes. She's stocky and is a natural fighter like Geiv's father, but is also witty and thoughtful because she was raised by Emile and Geiv. She's fiercely protective of her papas and can be brash towards new people.
