Introduction-Operation Paperclip: Garlemald Edition - Fabra Aurelia - 12-30-2015
So, for those that don’t know what “Operation: Paperclip†was, it was a calculated action taken by the US government to recruit and relocate thousands of former Nazi scientists and technicians after World War II. That concept is the basis for my Garlean character, “Fabra Nan Aurelia.â€
Fabra is a magitek engineer whose father, Faustinus Nan Aurelia, joined the Empire in its budding days 50 years ago just before the technological and military golden age which gave it the strength it has now. He was a dedicated engineer who truly thought the Empire could help people by bringing stability, technology, and knowledge to the surrounding countries.After several years working for the good will of the Empire, he met a young Censor named Marcia Goe Hosidius. The two fell in love as the Empire was growing and shortly thereafter were married and Fabra was born. Fabra was eight when the initial invasion of Eorzea began and her father was sent with Gaius Van Baelsar to take Ala Mhigo. She stayed with her mother as she finished out her magitek studies as well as the imperial moral code upheld by the Censors. When she finished top in her class she put in to be sent to work in Eorzera at her father’s side. Faustinus was then selected as a lead scientist on Gaius’ Ultima project with Fabra as his assistant. When the Ultima weapon was destroyed and the Castrum erupted in flames, her father perished with it. Fabra was then captured and was given a choice to work for “the good of Eorzea†in exchange for her freedom.
Since this character is very much still a work in progress, the details of this deal are up in the air and I hope to locate a FC that might fit as a place for her. She is still very sympathetic to the Empire as she believes in the concept of what they are trying to do and does not hide her connection to it. She has dealt with the loss of her father and her induction into Eorzea with a classical imperial stoicism, finding the loss of emotional control as anything but helpful to her situation. As I work on the character and seek those who might be interested in having her be a part of your rp, I look forward to networking allies, enemies, etc. Also, if anyone knows if there are any LS for Garleans or Garlean supporters that would be most helpful too.
Thank you for your time in reading this.

Ad Victoriam is the only Garlean LS I'm aware of at the moment, but best of luck in your search.
Also points for referencing Operation Paperclip; you made my inner history nerd light up in glee.
