I'm glad this thread was necrobumped when it was. I have a low level alt that is a Duskwight, and I've been more or less going by what little information I was able to dig up on my own through various Wikis across the net.
My Duskwight is pretty unabashedly a copy of the main character I played in Aion, but better appropriated for Eorzea and all of XIV's lore, with a similar backstory. In fact, my other two alts are also copies of former characters, appropriated. I think the only things I've done "wrong" in regard to this character's backstory is that I tossed him out in to a cave beyond Sagolii desert, rather than the shroud or anywhere remotely foresty, and his name doesn't quite follow the naming convention. To justify the name, I imagine it's an intentional misspelling of his actual name.
After my Aion main, I named him Isceroth Atrios. I imagine his real name is spelled and pronounced a bit differently: Iscereaut, or Iscerriot, or some such thing. (Actually that's also kind of congruent with the Aion counterpart, because Isceroth's actual name was spelled with ancient letters and was pronounced Ee-seh-roh't instead of his adapted Ih-suh-raw'th.) Never took a lick of French in my life and I only have the barest hint of understanding when it comes to pronunciation because of people's last names, and the names of various cities in my area. Completely open to suggestions for the spelling of his real name from anyone more knowledgable on the subject.
Anyway, his story is that he's the sole survivor of the family he used to share his cave with. After the deaths of his loved ones, he turned dangerously hostile toward other people, regardless of their race. He had plenty of visitors too, since his cave is a prime mine for precious crystals and stones. Living on such value, the cave is pretty nicely furnished, and although he loathes the cities for more than one reason, he does have stores of common currency.
His land is surrounded by posted warnings not to trespass. If people brave it anyway, they're either thieves or beggars, and it is not beyond Isceroth to kill them if he sees fit. He normally spares beggars more than thieves, and has a small reputation outside of his hermitage as a loan shark. It takes some convincing for him to disburse funds to a stranger (which is literally everyone), but it can be done. The interest is high, the repayment windows are relatively short, and the consequences for missed or late payments can be deadly.
He's prominent in this short story.
So, if this character sounds interesting to you, and your character ICly needs money, hit me up for RP. I'm normally on my main, Rakka'sae Kuhn, and perpetually on Skype at DimmerMeerkat. Additionally, if those of you who have way more knowledge and experience with playing/creating Duskwight characters have some constructive criticism or helpful direction, I'm open to it.
