I'm attempting to get into RP again with a different character and to be honest this time is going much more smoothly and I'm having more fun creating a background for him. Could I get some help with sorting out some details of my character's backstory? Maybe people could tell me if something doesn't sound quite right.
I don’t know if any of this is written coherently enough, I’m really tired. orz
One of the main motivations for what my character, Kiht'to, does is gil. At first people might assume that he is just greedy and is sitting on a pile of gil but in reality he is in debt up to his eyeballs with a group of potatoes (so much so that he is on the run from them) he loaned money from whilst he lived in Ul'dah. As for why he loaned the money in the first place? The best I can come up with is gambling. I'm also playing with the idea that he had a bit of a stint as a con artist - in an attempt to earn money to pay his debt off - so there are several angry investors waiting to skin him if they so much as set their eyes on him.
I don’t know whether to keep these people vague or add more detail to them. Is there any in-lore group that he could have pissed off?
Kiht’to is also a Black Mage - he knows it’s illegal, he’s not exactly one for living by the law - though he covers this up by being extra vigilant and insisting it’s just Thaumaturgy when people start to get too suspicious. He came into possession of his soulstone whilst looting (He was training as a Thaumaturge at the time).
Also regarding the way Keeper society works: He hasn’t fathered any children. Instead of sticking around the Black Shroud he decided to move to Limsa to become an Arcanist (that didn’t last long...). Although he is interested in both men and women he prefers to sleep with men because he does want any, err, ‘problems’ and regrets not being more careful in the past. Seeing Seeker children with Keeper eyes makes him paranoid.
After about a year and a half of studying to be an Arcanist he got bored and descended down a slippery slope of gradually more nefarious jobs just to get by. (Piracy maybe?)
Because of his background growing up he is a proficient Archer.
That's about it for now.
