Super General Discussion 2.0 - Always offering a happy, fun time~!

[Rubieus]

So I was looking for this thread while on my phone in the shopping center and thought I would do some reading and found a post about character Bios and I thought it was pretty cool that we were talking about our character backgrounds but then Nii reminded me that we did that in 1.0 and that the thread I was reading was the Archived version. So since it's been awhile I want to share what's happened to myself.

~Cue wavy remembering scene~
It all began in an old beat up Choco-wagon heading towards Ul'dah... Little did I know that this Highlander Refugee from Ala Mhigo would trade in his farmer's clothes for a suit of armor.

After joining the Adventurer's Guild and defeating Ifrit and Garuda I thought I had a real handle on what my life had become. But everything changed when the Garlean Nation attacked (again!) With the help of the reunited Eorzean Alliance we were able to defeat the White Raven and hold of Garlean Forces. That was until Dalamud exploded, unleashing a terrible unspeakable force upon us all.

You'd think with all the firepower at Garlea's disposal and the joined might of Limsa, Gridania and Ul'dah we would have been able to defeat Bahamut, but he caught us off guard and destroyed most of our military might before we even knew what to do.. It was by sheer force of will that our friend Louisoix was able to hold him back and with his final breath... We were saved.. But even with all of his might and all of his power. The old man could not save us all.. I do not blame him for not being able to save me. There were plenty of others who died that day. I am only thankful that the Miqo'te of my dreams was saved that night. I am happy to have died to know she survived.


When I first met Hydaelyn I was but a youth, she told me that I was special and that I had an important task. When I died. I saw her again, I thought she would greet me with open arms and tell me I had done a fine job.. "Your fight is not yet over Warrior of Light..."
So I awoke in the body of another poor soldier who had died from Bahamut's wrath. I crawled out of my shallow grave only to find out I was no longer a Highlander but I was in the body of a Miqo'te. He
was shorter and though he was muscular, he was lithe and agile. It took me months to master this new body.

Five years I waited, five years I trained and perfected the skills my mind knew but my body was not prepared to perform. Five years I searched for any news of what had happened to those who had survived the Calamity, and yet no one remembered. No one could speak a single name. Perhaps it was an effect of Bahamut's wrath, or of Louisoix spell but I was alone, with no gil and no friends or family. So I stayed under the radar, I worked as a crafter, repairing damages made by the war and doing my part to rebuild. Then it happened.. The realm was reborn!
It was by luck or perhaps Hydaelyn has seen my hard work and wanted to reward me. But I found her! By the Gods I found her again!.. I didn't think she would remember me, and I almost didn't want to tell her I was the one and the same Dragoon who had protected her and helped her. But she saw right through me.. "Those eyes." She had said.. and I knew she loved me too.

So in front of all of our Gods, Family and Friends.. We got married.


With our hearts finally united. We strengthened the bond between ourselves and our love for Eorzea. With this new strength we found the secrets to The Binding Coils and finished what we started so long ago.

With the news of dragons on the horizon, Ishgard opened their doors. As a dragoon. I was on the frontline, even well before the vanguard. This was my place, my purpose.. To slay all dragons.. Or so I thought. Hydaelyn was suppose to protect me, she was suppose to keep me safe from harm. Who was it then that had such power to defeat even her magic? The Lake Keeper.


Midgardsormr.

This place and I, we have a long history. Since the very first time I stepped foot on Eorzea we have always watched each other from a distance. He was there to greet me when I arrived as a farmer, he was there when Bahamut defeated me and I was reborn. Here he is when I lose the protection of Hydaelyn. What did he want from me? Why did he choose to speak to me and not his children?

I see... It was because I was his child, and he was angry that I was killing my brothers.. My punishment?

He transformed me into an Au'Ra. A heretic, an abomination. A visage of what I have always believed to be evil and what was wrong with the world. He did this to show me something, to educate me. But all I could think of was, what would my beloved think? What would she say?

Suffice to say that my beloved was not keen on seeing me as such and ran away.

In time she grew to love this new transformation as she had loved me before. As she had told me once, she told me again. "I love you for who you are, not what you are.." It didn't hurt that I was sexy as well. (Thank you Mother Hydaelyn for not choosing a Roegadyn body.)

In short time I mastered this new body and found it's true potential. I realised the Father of Dragons, my father was giving me a gift. This body was powerful! It gave me new strength and with it.

No foe was my rival.

So continues my story... I pray yours is as wonderful as mine.

I... I have only one thing to say to such a story.
