Holy Dragoon here,
I'm well known among Seraphim for being the RP junkie, my lodestone blogs reflect it as do our LS events. I enjoy adding a bit of flair using the in-game lore at my discretion. I figure I'd stop in to absorb some more Eorzea Lore! I have a character slot prepped as a 100% RP character to launch at some point, should I ever get the gumption to try it. I've also put a fair amount of thought into backstory behind my current character. (It may not all fit in perfectly, but I'm ok with that.)
From a fellow descendant of a dragoon, welcome!! :cheer:
Hope you decide to join us on Besaid and looking forward to hearing more!
Pulled from my Lodestone bio:
After the Mithra race we're exiled from Vana'diel, many chose to hide among the cover of the forests during day in order to feast upon the moon of night, while others chose to hide among the lands at night in order to bask in the light of the sun. Time passed, and generations lived on under a new life...
When Hydaelyn was formed by The Twelve at the dawn of its time, the Mithra that had split into two groups we're allowed to walk it's land. The two tribes called themselves Keepers of the Moon, and Seekers of the Sun. They arrived in Eorzea during the Age of Endless Frost, a time when all the waters were frozen across the land. These first tribes had come to be called the Miqo'te race, as they hunted beasts across the frozen tundra on to their new Eorzea to stay alive. As the seas melted, they had a new home for a new generation of Miqo'te...
Holy Dragoon is one of those Miqo'te, living during this Sixth Astral Age. She, a Keeper of the Moon, thrives upon the night sky. Her pale skin the result of generations of Miqo'te. She is the distant ancestor of Holydragoon, once a Bastokian Dragoon of Vana'diel. Much like her ancestor, she naturally leaned towards the use of spears, harpoons, and the lance. Unlike her ancestor though, she lives for the wood. Likely due to when the Miqo'te split into its two prevailing tribes. Of The Twelve, Holy favours Halone, the Fury. One of the gods that bestowed upon her the gift of the Echo.
As the rumours of the coming of the Seventh Umbral Age are upon the land, Holy Dragoon joined the ranks of Seraphim, and now sits upon it's Council. It is a group known by many for the positive treatment of its fellow adventurers, their skill on the field of battle, and the acceptance of many souls coming from different lands. Holy is loyal to the wooded city, Gridania, and maintains a vow to protect it from the Garlean Empire.
"The Twelve weep for us, for the rains are unrelenting. Who will quell the gods, and bring us peace? One hopes it is us, and not them."
