  personality.  
Nefertum is part gentleman, part trouble and his personality reflects this. He tends to be a rather charismatic man, quick to compliment and extend offers of assistance to others. He is well-educated, versed in many cultures, and loves history. The more confident you are the more he seems interested in chatting with you. That is until his dark side emerges and that is when the real fun starts.

BiographyBaby, be a simple kind of manNot everything has to be complicated to be enjoyable, and this is how Nefertum's story begins, a simple man who has spent his years in Kugane thus far doing nothing spectacular or so he says; though it is hard to believe that is lying with the brilliant smile he gives everyone that passes by him.He fondly remembers the days of his youth and the Mother who urged him to explore, to make connections, and to reach for the impossible. She was gone far too early before he reached his twentieth summer of birth and the cherry blossoms had not even fallen from the trees yet when they buried her. There are times when the night is quiet and the moon is full, he remembers the songs she used to sing to him and his twin when they could not sleep.It was no surprise that their Father left a sennight later, leaving behind a letter that encouraged them both to see the Star as it was meant to be seen; through the eyes of adventurers and explorers. Soon his sister crossed the Ruby Sea to search for her claim to fame in Eorzea and Nefertum found himself left behind with only the spirits of the Far East as his friends.For the longest time, he wandered and worked at the Shrines and Temples tending to their Gardens and their Trees. It was a peaceful existence, and he learned much from those who studied in these spaces tales of the Auspices, the Kami, and all those who had lived long before them. Then one day he happened upon Kugane, where he found the Florist his Sister had always told him their family owned from her research. A sign in the window simply said 'Help Wanted' and that is where he has been until you met him this day.

hooks & plots.

New to Eorzea
Life can change in a blink of an eye and this is exactly how Nefertum describes his reason for traveling to Eorzean. He needed change
Divination Services
Nefertum in his travels learned to tell others Fortunes, often using Tarot Cards or Smoke to peer into what the Spinner's Tangled Skein had to offer to those he read for.
Far Eastern Connections
Up until recently, he lived in Kugane not far from the center of the City. He met a great many people and made a great many connections that he stays in touch with.
Information Gatherer
While he does not seem like the criminal sort, one might wonder what he does with all the information that he gathers or in conversations may find themselves curious as to why he asks so many questions. He swears vehemently that he does not sell others secrets but it is hard to tell these days.
The Sakura Blossom
They say it has been in the Ishiku family for hundreds of years now. Started by one of his distant relatives Tsukiko Makaira as a means to make Gil leave the Far East. While he is not the current owner he does work there as a Florist!
Puzzle Box
You will see him with it now and then. It is a small bronze box with black markings and lettering, it looks very Allagan at first glance. He will say he is trying to solve it, he may even ask for your help. Do you dare get involved with whatever it is?
