I'd like to run this by you guys since I'm still pretty new to the lore to see if this all works out and makes sense to you. This is basically my final rough draft of my character's background. I'm not amazing with dates and times and whatnot of what's happened, so if I missed anything important that would've happened or my character might've witnessed, feel free to inform me.
More importantly: If any of this seems like a bad idea, bad design, or just flat out wrong - let me know.
My character is a male Au'ra (Xaela) born on the steppes, as they are. Born to the Borlaaq and given up at a young age to the Iriq, he never really felt wanted, or like he fit in. After some time he left (young age, I'm thinking 12...13) for Doma, a poorly planned out venture that left him poor, wanting, and struggling to survive. He picked up basic swordsman skills as he grew, and worked hard to make his way despite clearly not belonging there - part of his struggle to survive involved giving up his old name, and adopting a Doman one - Kiyokage.
<Insert blank uncertain space here where I have yet to fill in>
After some time I wanted him to fall in with the Doman Refugees, and end up in Eorzea, most specifically - Ishgard, as a sellsword and eventually a vigilante fighter. The Ishgardians of course, do not react well to Au'ra, so once again he's forced with a struggle and a hardship that he couldn't have ever planned for. His particular group of refugees ends up headed by a Dark Knight, who, before Kiyokage leaves for home, ends up dying. To remember this man who lead their group, and honor him, he buries him - but keeps his sword and his soulstone, seeing them as too important to just allow to fall into strange hands.
If I'm understanding how the DRK soulstone works, this would, in essence, start making him more violent, moody, and well... dark in temperament right? Just by proximity to it? I leave off with where he is currently - Doma once more, having returned "home" to Kugane to attempt to learn the art of the Samurai... though given the Dark Knight's soulstone, he'll have a hard time maintaining any form of honor and level head to become one.
At that point I want him to be struggling, between this path of honor and level headedness, and the path of a dark knight - an anti-hero essentially.
Thoughts? Ideas? Things I might add? Things that don't fit well?
