Most of his tribe was wiped out that night, so my friend's Miqo'te sees dragons as the biggest threat. We're also considering the possibility of him eventually meeting a real Dragoon, who might become the figure which ultimately inspires him. There was nothing he could do during the Calamity; he was just a small, insignificant being. He regards the Dragoon army as the strength he lacks, and as the ultimate way to defeat his personal enemies. In the end, my friend's character is still an idealist who has a lot to learn.
Sure, that makes sense. Bahamut is technically a Dragon King, and if you're going to take out a Dragon King, you might as well learn from the professional dragon killers. As for meeting a real dragoon. They're rare to find outside of Coerthas. I don't know if you're thinking of making up a fake dragoon or tying the story in with another player, but there are at least three Ishgardian Dragoons that I know of out there in the Balmung RPC, myself included, if you're considering going that route. I can't speak for the others, but I don't mind having Uther mentioned in someone's back story at all. So if that's up your alley, feel free to throw me a PM. Of course I won't be offended if that's not something you're interested in doing. Happy to help in any way I can.
