Character back story feedback - LeCard - 06-26-2013
I am creating the character for play after launch on the designated RP server and I was hoping for some feedback on my ideas so far.
Name: Rogier Le’Card
Class: Arcanist
Age: 23
Role: Researcher
Birth: Limsa Lominsa to the Pirate Le’Card family
Back story: Born to one of the many Pirates of the Limsacoast, Rogier was exposed to many different cultures and artifacts as he grew up. His father being of the swash buckling trade Rogier was exposed to the art of handling both a blade and a gun, but it would be the artifacts that he received as presents from his father that would shape Rogier’s future. One such artifactwas his first grimoire; from this he learned how to summon Carbuncle after several months of study. At first hethought of carbuncle as a simple pet, but as he learned to attune his aether to his familiar he began to hear carbuncle instruction him on the use of gemstones. He had just begun to master his first real spell by his 15[sup]th[/sup]birthday and needed to find a new grimoire with more spells.
The calamity:
 Rogier was 18 when thecalamity struck Eorzea. His father was at sea and has yet to be found. Rogier search for a few years and in that time found several texts describing the origins of carbuncle. He lost track of his plan to find his father and began looking further into his study of magic, even go so far as to travel to the southern seas. Though he searched Rogier was unable to find the place of origin for his use of the Arcanum. With a new grimoire in hand he set out to return to his homeland of Limsa Lominsa…

I don't think the world of Eorzea has guns
(but I could be wrong)
Otherwise, sounds like you have a lot to work with! ^_^

They do have guns, but only a few people RP with them. It's still not really clear how some people would react to the technology in Eorzea, but that doesn't mean some of us don't possess them

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Merlwyb's weapon of choice a gun?

Yes, in the cut scenes I have seen with her she is wearing what looks like an advanced flintlock

Guns are completely common place within Limsa Lominsa. Nobody even bats an eye when it comes to them. Merlwyb uses them, the yellowjackets use them. There used to be a musketeer's guild in 1.0 that had them.
