CHARACTER SUMMARY
Born in across the strait from Thavnair in Corvos, G'raha Tia grew up learning what the ruins of the ancient empire of Allag had to offer. When the powerful Garlean Empire arrived to conquer their home and search for Allagan relics, G'raha's clan leaders made the decision to send the young boy, with his inherited Allagan eye, to Sharlayan, where he would be looked after by allies in the Students of Baldesion. He proved to be a quick study, and after becoming a full Sharlayan citizen, it took him precious little time to be awarded his Archon marks for his seminal research of ancient arcane knowledge.
It was due to this that he was given the task of investigating the Syrcus Tower, a foreboding Allagan structure in the landscape of Mor Dhona. And this was how he met the already fabled Warrior of Light, a soul so singularly steadfast and strong that they would remain his beacon in everything that was to come. Having learned a portion of the Tower's truth, G'raha sealed the Tower, trapping himself inside with the intent to guide the world's people once their technology matched that of ancient Allag.
Of course, that's not how things went.
What happened after he came out of stasis was only the start of a journey that, for a long while, caused him to change who he was simply to keep the Warrior of Light from meeting a tragic end. Eventually, his soul from all those years later was fused with his slumbering form and the younger soul within, and he could stand at the Warrior of Light's side, just as he'd always dreamed.
G'raha is a bookworm at heart, someone that grew up idolizing the heroes he learned of, and someone who can hold his own alongside them, even if he doesn't think so highly of himself. He believes in the best in everyone, and defaults to being gentle and kind, only shifting toward a firm tone if lives are on the line. In combat, he's classified as an all-rounder, able to bring powerful healing and damaging magicks to bear, or able to summon a sword and shield made of light itself to defend his allies.
After the events of the April '25 Story Event, G'raha has gained some new abilities: his bodily fluids are aphrodisiacs to others, and his ears and tail have become much, much more sensitive.
OUT OF CHARACTER
▶ BACKTAGGING.
▷ Asbolutely!
▶ THREADJACKING.
▷ Fine for network things, let's discuss otherwise?
▶ FOURTHWALLING.
▷ For comedic purposes, certainly! And given the way that Final Fantasy XIV has built on the lore of other mainline games (and other properties due to crossovers), it's entirely possible that he's heard of heroes and villains of other worlds.
▶ OFF-LIMITS.
▷ Body horror.
▶ SHIPPING.
▷ Are you the Warrior of Light? If not, it will likely take him some time to open up to people, but I'm not opposed!
▶ TAG STYLE.
▷ Prose preferred but will match style and tense!
▶ OTHER.
▷ Fanboy of heroes of all types, here! Are you playing a hero? He's in. Do you want him to have heard of your hero? Let's discuss! Unless given the go-ahead from whoever I'm writing with, I'm going to do my best to avoid the big spoilers from the main story that have to do with G'raha! I don't want to ruin that experience for anyone even accidentally. ♥
