Thank you so much for all the feedbacks. I've had so much fun reading through them all and I'm pleased to say that everyone has contributed so much constructive criticism to further improve this character. I must say I'm already having a lot of fun discussing about this since there wasn't many people who wanted to discuss about lore or politics featured in the game. Some people I came across didn't even know who Gaius was in Behemoth realm....Â
I took some of the ideas and began to change the background history bit by bit.Â
I added in some more content to explain how she evolved from a battle maniac to a proper diplomat she is today. Though I still feel I should probably expand a little more about her time with a former ninja.Â
I also changed the name from Dio, courtesy of Garalona who gave me the hint that I will most likely be plagued with Jojojokes!Â
As for the third eye thing, that completely escaped me! Thank you for reminding me Unnamed, since then I thought about it and decided to change Dio from a male Hyur to a female Au Ra. Her third eye would be hidden behind the scales covering her forehead, on top of that she will be wearing a plate armor to hide her identity behind a male persona of Wolph. I do realize that wearing a armor that characteristically mark her as Garlean might be a bad idea considering the animosity it would bring, that's something I'll have to rp with I think. Yes roleplaying a Garlean openly will get me into many problems in the future and many people have already advised me to play a secretive agent but I felt like trying something completely different to others for the sake of it.Â
In regards to mastery of different discipline, for now I'll reduce it right down to Gladiator. I do worry though since I play a various melee dps (even though right now my MCH remains highest ilvl lol... ) as well as tank from time to time so wasn't sure how I would go about portraying all this into the roleplay character. For now I'll keep it as Gladiator.Â
Oli! I completely agree that Garlemald in general as far as canon Lore goes would never propose a ceasefire. Under normal circumstances that would make no sense until someone tries to develop an original idea and build on the skeleton to make a sound reason as to why there might be internal conflict within the political powers and the military powers. There is much to explore in the ladder of Garlean politics, something I thought we knew next to nothing about which therefore gave me the idea to use my creativity to make something out of that realm of unknown. I could be wrong of course but I was under the impression that roleplaying promoted the idea of using creativity to build something that hasn't necessarily been explored yet. If that was the incorrect approach I would like some more constructive feedback and maybe some more ideas as to how I can go about making this work. Ideally I think I would like to make it so that more Garleans can find ways to roleplay openly about their heritage in Ishgard than to sneak around like abandoned rats across the world. This could be the breaking point I don't know but I know it will be one interesting roller coaster ride haha xD
