HOO BOY I GET TO DISAPPOINT SOMEONE!
Essentially, I knew I wanted to play a Warrior because I always play the class with the two hander. The problem was tying it to the lore in a way that made sense and satisfied me. I knew I wanted to play SCH/SMN and WAR from the onset (that obviously changed), so I figured having a story that tied me to both guilds without tying me much to the lore would be best. In addition, it'd help hide the fact that back then I knew between jack and shit of the lore of the game. (I know barely much more these days)
The idea of tying a mystical origin to the inhabitants of his homeland and other such stuffs only came when I started wanting max level on EVERYTHING and when I was like "I'd play the shit out of a Mime job if we ever got one." So I started pushing in that direction in his background, but it's relatively hidden to such a point that if someone didn't want to RP with me because of this I can easily disregard it as it's not core to the character. The character's core is essentially the good-natured adventurer willing to help out, and taking side jobs to make money, wielding an axe and an unforgettable look.
