Let us play as Garlean deserters!

Topic^ /10char

Our Character's origins are never revealed and because of this you can have the back story of your choosing. By all means, play as a Garlean deserter.

how will you know that you aren't a garlean deserter already?
Our character is an adventurer with unknown origin

You mean you want to make a pure Garlean, with the 3rd eye, slight amalgamation of Elezen, Highlander and Midlander features?

If it wasn't for the simple fact that they aren't magically able, then I don't see why not.

I just assumed my character came from a village that was destroyed by the Empire.

I'm actually Batwoman, and I'm next-in-line to rule a small town called Ivalice that sits on the other side of the world. I only came to Eorzea to stop the evil sorceresses from compressing all of time.

This Primal bullsh*t has nothing to do with me.

Theres a garlean deserter npc that can be found in eastern la noscea a small hut called "the severed string." You run into him during the MSQ, he's paces about his shack talking about how his squad was slaughtered by a maelstrom patrol. He also longs to go back home, to possibly his partner.

If I remember correctly, one of the moogle mail quests touches further into his tragic backstory.

As for being a Garlean deserter, you can easily role-play as one since most of Garlemald is occupied by citizens from surrounding nations they have conquered. However, as others have said before, you could never play as a member of the Garlean race. Not only does the character creator lack the precise parts (they appear hyur-like, but are a bit larger in build, always have white hair, and have a 3rd-eye which functions like a sixth-sense), but your character would not fit into the lore of the MSQ at all. Garleans lack the ability to manipulate aether within their bodies, so they compensate by using technology. You wouldn't be able to use /teleport, /return, play as a SMN, WHM, BLM, etc., or attune to any aetheryte.

Assuming you're talking about the race and not simply national origin I doubt it would ever be soley for the fact they can't use magic and would pretty only be able to be a machinist out of the available classes.

I am definitely a mermaid man.
