Jenis Filcobrant is a player character in Final Fantasy XIV, an MMORPG by SquareEnix. He is played by Cas.

He is a little bitch^[1].

Physical Description

Jenis is a Dunesfolk Lalafell; standing at 3'2", he's considered tall for a lalafell; while he's not overweight, some could perceive him as stocky. He has fine brown hair with orange highlights, with a tuft of hair sticking out at the crown of his head. His skin is fair, bordering on olive, and he has olive-green glassy eyes that are typical of the Dunesfolk.

Jenis prefers wearing robes, and his current favourite one is one made of astral silk. However, when practising alchemy, he switches to a long white coat to protect himself from the caustic materials he tends to employ.

First Impression

If he looks at you with contempt, be thankful he's at least deigned to gaze upon you. Jenis claims he's a Master of alchemy, a title he unfortunately earned through his love for the craft. He carries himself like he's several malms above everyone, but if one manages to get on his good side -- a rare feat indeed -- he can become a loyal and trusted friend.

Background

An only child, Jenis, born Jejenara Rurunara, lived with his family, who was part of a very close-knit nomadic tribe. At a very young age, he discovered that he had an aptitude for Conjury -- the ability to feel the elemental spirits around him and to use their power -- a revelation that brought joy to his parents and his tribe. However, Jenis wanted nothing of it, and he fought to close his senses off to the spirits; he was only partially successful, and perhaps as an act of retribution from those elemental forces, he found that everytime he was forced to use Conjury, he would end up with a splitting migraine that would render him useless for a few days.

Jenis then discovered the art of alchemy, and he embraced it as a way to "perform magic without resorting to elementalism". His family was extremely disappointed in him, and as a result of the increasing pressure to foster his conjury, he left the tribe and travelled to the three city-states in an effort to find someplace to call home. He settled in Ul'dah, living in an apartment above a cafe called Mimosa's Chai.

The Calamity

As a Warrior of Light, Jenis became involved with the events leading up to the Calamity. However, he did not go to Carteneau out of fear for his own life and that of his new wife, Tasha. He absconded from his duty, preferring to practice his trade in relative safety.

Plot Hooks

• Jenis is an amateur cook and also a bit of a foodie. He's always up to trying new things, especially exotic foods from other regions.
• Likewise, as a master alchemist, Jenis is keen on acquiring new formulas. As of this writing, he's yet to venture to Thavnair.
