Story of Xeroz
Biological Father: (Bard) Traveling trader from Bastok.
Biological Mother: (Samurai) Ret. Soldier of Jeuno.
Met in Jeuno at one of the shops his father dealt with in Jeuno by chance before
the Great War some odd years ago.
Was not love at first sight as you might think. He was looking for some
security after being raided recently by beastmen in Pashow Marshlands. She was
available for hire, being a newly retired soldier for Jeuno, looking for work,
and adventure of course. So they struck a deal and set out on 1 of his many
trade routes. Eventually, one evening she was wooed by his harp playing around
a camp fire and they fell in love. And not long after that while in Windurst,
she gave birth to me. Unfortunately, she was in bad shape after giving birth and
he was needed back in Bastok asap for a major shipment of arms to Sandy.
Leaving her in the care of one of his most trusted customers in Windy he set
out. Only to find out after reaching Sandy, that she had passed away during his
absence.
He was devastated, and eventually came to the conclusion that it would be
impossible for him to raise a child on the road. So he sent a letter, asking
his longtime friend to please be the child's guardian. His friend accepted, and
raised the child as his and his wife's own, despite their being Taru/Mithra...
as they were desperate to have a child of their own.
And so, he was looked after by this couple who raised him as best they could,
and even his biological father stopped in to see the child from time to time
over the next few years, it was much too early in the child's life for him to
remember anything more than this odd looking bearded person picking him up one
time when he was busily playing hide and seek with the other children.
Not long after that the Great War began, and trade between nations came to an
end. His biological father being one of the first tragedies of it while on a
trade route.
When I was old enough i was deftly enrolled in the magic school of Windy, but
never seemed to excel in either Black or White magic classes. So, i was taken
into one of the classes for children who seemed to fall into this category, the
none too popular Red Magic class. Despite excelling in this category into my
teenage years, i was always drawn to using my sword more so than any of the
magics i had learned, much to the disdain of the teachers... who had no idea
what to do with me.
After the great war ended, and classes were allowed to travel to the other
nations in order to learn what their lives/culture were like. This being thanks
to the newly formed alliance between the 3 great nations, arranged in no small
part by the grand duchy of Jeuno. While on that fateful trip to Bastok, I
couldn't help but notice the magic casting but also GS swinging Dark Knights in
training and knew i had found my calling. After graduating from the Windurst
academy, with a decent Red Mage level of 52, I immediately put my skill to work
to save up enough gil to travel to Bastok, and become a Dark Knight asap. This
proved tougher than i had originally thought it would be. But, along with help
from other Dark Knight hopefuls, we eventually figured it out and officially
became Dark Knights. Wielders of Scythes and Great Swords and masters of the
Dark Magics.
Having grown up among magic casters of all types yet feeling like an outcast
being a Red Mage who always drew his sword when in battle. Its only natural that
I was drawn to being a front line melee'er but still attracted by the ability to
cast a little magic. And so to this day I have and always will be a Dark Knight
at heart.
What ever happened to my mother and father? I never did ask my parents in
Windurst, but i never needed to. As far as I'm concerned they loved and raised
me just fine as their own. Tho i did recently find out about my mother and
fathers tragic love story... Thought to be a legend among the traders of today,
known only to be true among those few who knew them and survived the Great War.
Yet even those i heard this from had no idea i was the child spoke of in the
story who legend says became a great White Mage... Pfft, like I'd enjoy sitting
around healing everyone all day and night. Tho, i did minor in the Black/White
magics, reaching as high as lv 38, back at the academy. But thats just so i
could teleport for money when the need arises, and to be able to warp myself
home if needed while stopping at a Nomad moogle along the way in my travels.
Not that they're both required for any Red Mage to attain after surpassing lv.
50... Really, it was my own choice, i swear.
Here recently I've been contemplating how good a Samurai i might become if i
ever got serious at it. Tho, i hear nothing of my biological mother mentioned
by any of the soldiers of Jeuno today. I doubt there were many who remember
the peaceful days before the Great War. Who knows, i may just take it up as a
3rd Main job. 1st and 2nd being Drk and War.
Anyway, here in the past couple of years I've made lots of new friends and
completed more and more Missions and Quests than i would have ever thought
possible back at the Academy. I've attained Rank 7 in my home nation of
Windurst. Competed in Sky raids, and attaining quite a few sweet items if i do
say so myself, before that LS disbanded. I'd heard about the battlefield
Dynamis while chatting with my friends in sky one time, and was 1 of the top
3 in points in that LS (lasted over a year), before it disbanded.
More to come soon...
