Biography:

Ssseifiij was born to a small nomadic clan following the hand of the vine, clinging to the old unathi traditions inside the northern reaches of moghes. Life was harsh and incredibly unforgiving, and Ssseifiij led an extremely simple lifestyle with very little technology available. He was chosen to train as a healer-acolyte, somewhat to his dismay at first, as it was not a masculine role, but he found, in time that he enjoyed learning to use what could be scrounged from the dirt to create poultices and potions for the treatment of infections and viruses, to help his clan in ways that the uneducated members found somewhat magical.

Ssseifiij would often sight ships, usually from traders passing into orbit, and ever since he was born he was fascinated with them. He would ask about them, but his clan would brush them aside as harmful, and to be avoided, though this only fuelled his interests in what was beyond what felt like the small world his clan inhabited.

It was a harsh night, a storm striking at the camp where his clan were hunkered down, when Ssseifiij's life changed drastically. For better or worse he still questions. Ssseifiij at this point was one of the primary healers of his clan, despite only being 18. It was not a surprise to him, then, when a battered and bruised hunter of his clan, Xalnassa Sissskiss, barely hanging onto life, was brought to him. He had been caught by an opposing clan hunting in their territory, and their retaliation was to attempt to kill him. Ssseifiij began nursing him back to health, a long process, with many hurdles. The two spent most, if not all of their time together for the first few months as Xalnassas wounds were treated, and it wasn't long until they fell in love. Xalnassa admiring Ssseifiij for his gentleness and kindness in his treatment, and Ssseifiij admiring Xalnassa for his bravery. Such love was forbidden by the clan, not only because producing new children was a priority, but because the idea of their incompatibility was not lost to this traditionalist tribe. and as such they kept their partnership a secret, even questioning its morality themselves. However, eventually, Ssseifiij and Xalnassa were caught together, with their tails and lips twined, and were condemned by the clans elders. To take up guwandi or die. They were given a night to decide, and while the clan slept, Ssseifiij fled into the desert, stealing as much as he could hold on his back, in fear that if he was left in the desert with nothing, and no combat skills to speak of, he would be killed or starve.

His journey was long and brought him close to death many times, with Ssseifiij possibly not seeing food or water for days or even weeks on end. Ssseifiij was not built, and still is not built, for that kind of task, with his short, feminine frame, likely, he believes, why he was picked to be a healer in the first place, usually a females job, over a warrior or hunter. However, on the brink of death, after a long trek without water through the mountains that protected the untouched lands from the encroaching wastes, Ssseifiij made it to civilisation. A large city, more advanced that hed ever seen before. The technology and lifestyle he discovered here shook him to his core, and figuratively blew his mind. It was as different as possible from his old life with his clan.

 

When Ssseifiij crawled his way through the cities gates, he was broken mentally and physically. He was left to his own devices by the population, ignored and disregarded. Seeing such a world as he had never seen before was a culture shock that Ssseifiij found it hard to process, especially due to the experience that he had just gone through, and the loss of essentially, in his eyes, his entire world, and his one love. He was seen as a savage by most. Arriving in ragged clothing, clanging as he walked with daggers and glass jars, and spitting an odd dialect of sinta'unathi that was mocked somewhat by the natives. He was an outcast to the highest degree, unacquainted with the customs of the city and its people, frowned upon and avoided by the natives, and lacking useful skills to sell.

 

Because of this, Ssseifiij made the decision to leave moghes, his home planet, in search of something or simply anything else. He remembered the ships he used to see in his clan, approaching the skies, and thought to pursue them. Selling all that he had, and his last connection with his old clan ,ornate knives crafted by his elders and himself, and vials of poultices, both that fetched a high price to collectors. With the money he raised he brought himself a passage to the human home world, earth. lax immigration laws allowing him to slip inside mostly unnoticed, inside a vox trading skipjack. The travel was a learning experience about the vox, and the universe outside his small world on moghes in general, for Ssseifiij, as well as the other cultures that he met along the way, and only spurred on his thirst for exploration and a new life. He found himself becoming quite acqainted with the vox way of life, and even made friends, in the widest sense possible, with some of the crew, but when he arrived they left to continue their trading, and Ssseifiij had quite literally nothing once again. No money, no friends, family, or contacts, and no home. He knew he had to make his way up from the bottom, and he was determined for it not go the way it did before, on his own terms this time. Ssseifiij was picked up quickly by the vast, sprawling underground that Earth had to offer as a cheap and easily influenced customer and worker. He accepted his new found location on the ladder of society for a time. Selling his body and his labour Ssseifiij would earn money, which in return he would pay black market surgeons for training, to build upon the only skills he thought he had, medicine. It took him many years, and many hard nights, and the sacrificing of much of his dignity, and his own moral codes, but eventually Ssseifiij began surgery on his own. Still on the black market, as he had no formal education. He would carry out unethical or frowned upon procedures, in return for money from his clients. Something happened however that caused Ssseifiij to flee the somewhat questionable life he had built. In an argument with a rival gang member, Ssseifiij was shot multiple times and left for dead, in the process losing his right arm, and even his own eyesight. He managed to survive the ordeal, only just clinging to life once again, and with time both lost body parts were replaced with prosthesis. However, fulled by paranoia that he would be persecuted again by his assailant, Ssseifiij, with only the money he had earnt, fled to the moon of a major planet within the neighboring star system, Luna. Shaken by the events on Earth, Ssseifiij decided it was time to start again, again, and he decided to pursue a real education. He spent all that he had earnt in his black market days to study at The Lunar University of Medicine, and after 4 years of hard work, and what he felt was discrimination from almost everyone around him, he earned his degree. Ssseifiij retired to working in a small emergency clinic, slowly paying the loans he owed to his university, a process which at the rate he predicted, would take the rest of his life. A high price for a high education. Here though, he met another unathi man, Iksseelass Slosiiski, who was coincidentally also his first patient, who, like a similar other unathi, changed his life drastically. At first he was hesitant to admit his feelings to himself, having suppressed his desires for comfort in anothers arms for most of his time since what happened with his first love, though it was not him who made the first move, and after accepting his feelings, the two became deeply infatuated with each other. Ssseifiij discovered Iksseelass's story was not too different from his own, having been forced to leave the planet after great dishonour befell him. While the two enjoyed their time together, it was only a matter of time until his lover would have to leave the planet, to work aboard the NSS Cyberiad, to fulfil his contract to nanotrasen. Ssseifiij decided that instead of leaving him, and abandoning yet another love, he would follow him to the Cyberiad despite his original plans, to be employed as a surgeon. His application was accepted, and he now works there, full time, to be with his lover and pay off his loans.

In game flavour text: A slightly shorter than average, lithe Unathi. He seems thinner than most, and has almost no muscle mass to speak of, which fits his slender, androgynous, almost feminine frame and face. He's visibly tired constantly, with dark bags under his eyes, and a slightly drooped stature. His right arm and hand are robotic, along with both his eyes, which glow with a dim blue light

I had a feeling that Ssseifiij Giss was the same person as Lifts-His-Tail. Changing their name to one more like the names other Unathi (Except for Love-to-Hug) have was probably a good choice.

Who was his lover (If they aren't a NPC)

Haha it was only really meant as a joke when I was checking out servers to see which ones I liked the most, but since I found myself playing on paradise pretty much exclusively I thought it was probably better if I changed it. And yeah I added that in because my actual boyfriend introduced me to ss13, and occasionally plays on paradise as Zioko Titanium.
