[Reokudo]

My character is from my book, however male highlanders lack the short spiky hair style I want for him so I had to go with the shaved head instead.
XIV Vers
Book vers on left with another char on the right from it as well.(Drawn by an artist I have commissioned)
Your art style is cute.

Edit: Since people added their own little background stories. I'll add mine for my char, which has nothing to do with XIV unless I was to implement the whole "How this works for RP" bit.

Book: Ryu's a half dragon who loses his mother in a dragon attack on his village at the age of 5. He is left alive by his mother's slayer, whom left him with a scar across his chest to forever remember that fateful day. He is later discovered by a grizzled old mercenary on the outskirts of his now destroyed village. Said mercenary raised him for 16 years while teaching him all things in the art of combat. Now old enough to venture out into the world himself, he vies for vengeance against the Black Wyrmlord Sereses who slew his mother and undertakes a journey. On said journey he realizes that he has dragon blood within him(as he didn't know), and the terrible beast that vies for dominance within him that he must fight over control of his own body for.(His Dragon Soul.) Along the way he learns the importance of companionship, and that he alone cannot defeat every foe he comes across alone. He draws strength from his companions, and through the unwavering affection of one of them, it acts as his anchor to his humanity and what keeps him sane throughout his arduous quest.

How this relates to the XIV version: At the end of the book both he and the dragon he was fighting was sucked into a dimensional rift making it so I can play this character in any game and "RP" him. Albeit with some limitations. In XIV he does not possess the same abilities/powers he did in his own world, nor does he have dragon blood. In this, he is a simple Highlander male who retains his prowess in battle and memories from where he came from.

As for that other character in the commissioned image, she won't have a XIV version because quite frankly Elezen females lack the aesthetics to be as appealing as she is. But for those curious of the character, her name is Sacreia and she has a stand alone chapter in my signature.
