So I have an idea for a Keeper of the Moon character. It's relatively small-scale (I tend to enjoy a more grounded, regular person that is thrown into greater adventures). I just need some help ironing out ideas, perhaps discussing things back and forth a bit to really flesh him out, I think.Â
I bounced back and forth on whether he should have been a Seeker or Keeper but think I ultimately landed on Keeper because: I want him to have started small. A baby born of the Shroud who poached for food and was captured. He would essentially be jailed for a portion of his life - do we know anything about Gridania jail? Is it unbelievable that he would be jailed - would he be killed instead?Â
The end goal, ultimately, is have him become a Twin Adder. He would be a small part of the Grand Company and actually begin to rise through the ranks as he proved himself skilled with a sword (also-- do we know anything regarding Adders abilities outside of bows? I may be interested in him learning how to wield a gun as well but that seems a bit farfetched).Â
As a Twin Adder, he suddenly has more reason to be involved with the overarching story of the game and I can handle him as more than just a mercenary type. It would be really cool to start up Grand Company linkshells or even Free Companies if the interest was there.Â
I digress.Â
As a somewhat young and skilled Adder, I am uncertain as to what he might have seen. Maybe he fought in the skirmish against Ishgard? Perhaps he lent aid when the dragons came to close to Coerthas. I would imagine, without a doubt, he would be sent east to assist in the Ala Mhigan campaign.
