Blade is privy to Althyk, having been born under him. Blade takes a few characteristics of Althyk as well, namely in the change and time aspect. As I've mentioned (OOCly only, so far), Blade isn't my character's real name, and the reason behind it has a lot to do with how my character views names and how they can change people. In changing his name, there's also a bit of him 'starting over new and fresh' so to speak, or in other words, turning the hourglass over.
Being brought up without much education though, and especially growing up poor on the streets, Blade hadn't really engaged much in the Twelve. Religion wasn't really something he focused on back when he was scrounging around for food. He had bigger issues to deal with. That being said, he was mostly ambivalent towards the Twelve. It was something he heard about but he lacked a real defining religious experience. Be believed they were there, though. But it was always something that he had difficulty connecting with.
However, in A Realm Reborn, what little faith Blade had is going to take a serious blow. The Battle of Carteneau saw Eorzea razed under Bahamut's assault, with the landscape burning. When they finally were summoned, they did not have the power that Eorzeans would've hoped for, and were unable to seal away Bahamut. So, Blade's gonna be shaken by that, quite a bit. He's not going to regard them as being any greater than Primals. If anything, weaker. After all, from all that we've seen, Primals have been able to cause havoc and attack the Eorzeans, and when the Twelve were finally moved to action, they collectively could not stop one (although, a pretty damn powerful one). Will depend on how the RP plays out, but Blade may even initially be hostile towards the Twelve. There are some people close to him who will have died in the carnage that Bahamut unleashed, and Blade will probably angrily argue that the Twelve either aren't as powerful as they would have us believe, or that they simply did not put forth the effort required to seal Bahamut and let Eorzea burn.
