I've been thinking a lot recently about how my characters have failed, seem godmoding and all together lore breakers, and I wanted to change that. I wanted a character that I liked, keeping some of what I had created while adhering to the game's lore and sense of time. I believe I have done just that.

Over the past 5 hours, I have been studying the lore of the game; the games timeline, the way time works in the game, events and Miqo'te naming conventions as well as clan structure for Keepers of the Sun. I am happy to say that I am personally pleased with what I've done, however I would like to get some input from the various awesome people from the RPC community; to see what you guys think and to possibly point out inconsistencies with the lore I may have made or overlooked. So without further ado, let me introduce you all to Caden Vadoma. (AKA: Isaac Vadoma)

Spoiler
1548~

Wâ€™ailith and Wâ€™kahden are born. (6th sun of the 3rd Astral Moon, 05/3/1548)

1557~

The Garleans occupy Ala Mhigo
W'kajyn leads other Tribe leaders and several Nunh and Tia warriors to aid in the battle
Suffering heavy losses, W'kajyn and what is left of the Tribes flee to the Twelveswood.
Their comminty, consisting of ten tribes, make a home on the outer rim of the Twelveswood

1564~

W'kajyn and a few others of the various tribes are chosen to try and recapture Ala Mhigo
W'kajyn names W'kahden Tribal leader until his return.
Three moons later, W'kahden receives word of his father's death. He is then named leader of the entire tribe.

1565~

On the 2nd Sun of the 1st Astral Moon, W'kahden Tia is challenged by an older Nunh of the same clan for Tribal leadership, outside of a tribunal. W'kahden defeats the Nunh, retaining his leadership and gaining the title Nunh.
The leader of the Coeurl clan offers W'kahden his daughter as a sign of fealty and honor.
W'kahden creates unrest among the other clans when he refuses offerings of females in favor of a single mate. This removes his status as Nunh.

1569~

The divide W'kahden had unintentionally created by refusing other mates sparked a small war between the clans
13th Moon of the 4th Astral Moon: a Nunh from the Gryphon Tribe stole into W'kahden's camp while he was out on a hunt. The Nunh raped and killed C'meira, three months pregnant with W'kahden's child.
Before leaving, the same Nunh kills P'liana Arkin, W'kahden's mother.
W'kahden challenges the Gryphon Nunh and kills him in combat with one stroke, severing his head. The battle was over in seconds.
W'kahden led a small group of his best warriors into the Gryphon encampment and killed all their Nunh and tribe elder. He sets the bodies on fire and places the heads on pikes surrounding the entrance into the Gryphon camp.
After V'liana and C'meina's pyres are lit, W'kahden addresses the tribes; he renounces his leadership, calling the elders childish and petty for letting his refusal of mates to go this far. He curses them to rot in the afterlife for all eternity, then exiles himself. Taking his sister, W'ailith, with him.
After leaving, W'kahden adopts the name Caden Vadoma to hide his tribal origins and to further separate himself from them.
W'ailith, likewise, adopts a new name: Ailith Vadoma

1570~

Melfina "Night Mage" Windsor finds and recruits Caden and Ailith into the Order of the Twilight Guardians
Caden and Elria Sanse, his Order assigned partner, find a particularly troubling black magick source.
Elria is infected by the black magick and kills Gaiuus, the only Roegadyn member of the Order and good friend to Caden
Before fleeing, Elria touches Caden with her black magick, infecting his left arm.
Caden tracks Elria down and finally kills her, vanquishing her black magic. Though his arm is still tainted, the infection stops spreading, ultimately sparing his life.

1571~

Caden discovers that Melfina is a member of the Lambs of Dalamud and that she had been using most of the other members, unbeknownst to them, of the Order to capture black magicks for her nefarious wants
After a fierce battle, Melfina escapes after killing most of the Order
Caden and Ailith hunt Melfina down through Gridania and Mor Dhona, finally catching up to her in La Noscea
They manage to defeat her, but at a great cost. Caden is left nearly dead and Ailith looses her right arm

1572~

The scar left over from the infection of the black magic begins to burn as soon as Dalamud becomes visible in the sky
Ailith leaves Eorzea, heading out to sea
Caden participates in the battle at Cartaneau Flats
Caden is sent into the void

Notes
I ultimately decided on changing Caden's birthplace from Ala Mhigo to Gyn Abania, the surrounding countryside, in favor of the clan Tribal system. Sure, the clans would go to and from Ala Mhigo to get supplies and any other number of things, but Caden's Tribe preferred to live off the land in the old customs. I figured this was a little more isolated and wouldn't encroach on any lore or facts surrounding any of the city states. It also leaves me free to add or adjust things to the Tribe's history without having to worry about breaking the lore, of which I will still adhere too. Just playing it a little safer this time.

In keeping with naming conventions:

*wipes the sweat from his brow*
~whew!

With all that said, and again I'm very happy, I'd like to get your guy's input on what you think. I'm absolutely adamant on roll playing this time around and I will do whatever I have to to make that happen!

Nothing here is 100% complete and is obviously open to change and alterations.

Thanks for reading~!

An experimental shift in character.
