Roger (or I should say Satoru since it was when he was a child), was a very adaptive kid while we was growing up. He was left at the border of East Thanalan and the Shroud where someone found him and took him into their organization which dealt with information, reconnaissance, and tasks which needed to be done, but not seen. Through them, he was able to learn how to stay hidden while in plan sight.Â
The organization also had a huge archive of information that he had access to, which opened up his curious nature and wishing to try things out that he has read, which helps with his adaptiveness. After the whole organization, he tried to cast his past aside before he went into seclusion in the Shroud and learned how to hunt with a bow and a blade, leaning more towards the blade after a while. Everything was either self-taught or him watching adventurers as they traveled through. Being self-taught that he doesn't really follow the style of the gladiator's guild nor having any proper training until much later in his life with Dalinat.
Pretty much he has had a thing for blades since then as he grew up, but he has an understanding of how other weapons work. He might not know how to properly wield them as others do, but finds a way to use them for the task at hand. Which also kind of leans into one of his styles where he performs unorthodox moves to try and confuse his opponent (He even tried using two shields at one pointÂ
).
As for magic, he was never the magical type initially as an adult, but as a child he had quite a bit of skill in wind magic and using a form of it to mend injuries. But since he cast his past aside, he didn't know he had this ability albeit of form of minor healing which drained him of his own aether rather than using the surrounding aether, but it was only for dire situations. It was only when the organization tracked him down and tried to control him where his wind magic manifested for several brief episodes and now he is trying to learn how to control it again. He is still a novice at it though and only uses it to supplement his swordplay.
