So I've made an alt on Balmung. I've decided all the technical aspects, such that he'll focus on being a melee fighter and follow the path of smashing things in the face with his weapons of choice, but I've yet to decide the backstory aspects of him. A Seeker of the Sun named J'rhiki Tia, he started in Limsa Lominsa but is starting his circuit through the three cities to learn all he can in the name of Rhalgr the Destroyer.Â
Why the Destroyer? One cannot build without first destroying that which stands in the way of one's goals.. One must chop down trees to build with lumber, break down mountains to build with stone. Slay monsters and enemies to lay claim to land and protect your people. And from what remains of one's enemies is left behind to make the winners that much stronger.
Honestly, with this ideology, he's kinda incomplete... he needs a partner to be the yang to his yin, someone to either encourage his destructive spree or balance him out with a creative or constructive point of view. Or both, since he sees his need to smash things as needful as opposed to wanton.
I can only imagine that the falling of Dalamund and how Eorzea was changed and rebuilt from the wake of its nigh destruction only inspired this ideology into him. All that's left is trying to craft a personality.
One who destroys for the benefit of others... he could be the super serious type, but I'm not sure that would suit him too well. Simple Determination would be a bit more fitting, a tad shounen with the ideology of 'there's nothing I cannot break', but at the same time that might get a bit annoying since that kind of attitude leans more towards cocky than capable. Perhaps, instead, 'There is nothing that cannot be broken'. It's not as cocky, instead it's more of a determination to find ways to break things that he cannot break at the moment.
Alternatively, he could be a 180 from his ideology, a kind of happy go lucky flippant attitude that venerates life since he understands that at some point all of it can be broken by those with the will to do so. It really is hard when there are so many choices.... any ideas?
