[Okamimaru]

My character came from Rune-Midgard after Hydaelyn winessed his ability to lay low the gods of his realm and his prowess over others... tho his eyes of the faithful are once again whole, he still bears the scar over his right eye where Samurai Specter tried to end his conquest of the Endless Tower with a last second Soul Destroyer...

[CainCrimson]

My character was out picking up bodacious babes and while hitching a ride to Ul'dah some old guy started talking to him about aether and adventuring. People just keep hitting me up with things they need help with, and he's a helpful guy so he pitches in.


his true purpose has not changed however.
Hot. Fire. Ladies.

Leonard “Julian” Dusk was a pretty reclusive guy. He decided it was time to make some friends. For some reason he went to Limsa Lominsa instead of a closer town. He never knew he’d become some sort of hero.

[AshlikeSnow]

I worked as a janitor in The Great Gubal Library even tho I felt like I was smarter than most of the people that went there. Sometimes I would see an equation on a blackboard or half of an equation and I would figure it out for the lulz.

[EdwinLi]

She is a Blank with no memory of the life before she was on the ship to Limsa. Becoming a adventurer was her only choice to learn more about the world and to find why she is in this world.

Your backstory is the same as mine, except my character started in Gridania. XD

However, there are certain quests which Ren did that kinda gave her hints about her past life, but she's still clueless lol.

[AmemeAmeklin]

Ameme, born somewhere in the south sea isles, was found as an orphaned toddler by a Lalafellin couple who proceeded to raise her as their own. Being a Hyur, she was instantly taller than her entire family.

Though her family is pacifistic, Ameme has always been a scrappy sort and naturally gravitated towards being a marauder after a chance encounter with a very lost pirate ship, where she first beheld giant men and women wielding two-handed axes. As she has always been the biggest in her family, she has absolutely no sense that she is a petite Midlander Hyur woman and will happily take on opponents many times her size. She just sort of fell into adventuring when she reached Limsa Lominsa, since that seemed more interesting than living in one place.

Occasionally she writes home, but the topic of how the latest batch of lentils are doing bores her to tears. Her family finds her tales hilarious and often sit around the dinner table taking turns reading her letters aloud.

[Valgus_Garand]

He is just a random Xaela adventurer with social anxiety that only wanted to see the world but just couldn't say no to people and things really got out of control.

[Hiveer]

TL,DR:
Duskwight dude. Parents were bandits and died in a botched ambush when he was about 15.
His young adult brother Gaspard took him to Gridania where he tried to make it as a member of the lancer's guild, hoping to live a honest life and quit stealing for good, but in spite of his skills the guild treated him as cannon fodder. He died when Hiver had barely made it into adulthood.

Fed up with their hatred for outsiders, and for his race in particular, Hiver decided to leave Gridania and worked odd jobs around La Noscea for a couple of years, trying to live a honest life as his brother had hoped. It became particularly rough after the calamity, so he became a freelance mercenary until his life returned on a good track, mostly thanks to the event of the main storyline.



I may or may not have written this draft when I was thinking of getting into roleplaying (and then gave up).
