Biography

Alveo Soulseeker, given the name Alveo Camp by his father, used to be the inquisitive and intelligent sort. Born on high seas on a small vessel (the name of which he does not know), Alveo lost his mother shortly after he was born. The kid, himself, does not know much about his early childhood; only that he was taught to sail since the day he could walk. His father, Alan Camp, died in a horrid squall when the boy was only six years old. Alweo was taken into an orphanage, and spent many days staring out the window and pondering the meaning of his own existence. There were many books in the orphanage, and Alweo read them all, finding no answers to his questioning and no reason to exist. At the age of seventeen, finally filled to the breaking point with existential dread, Alweo forsook his fathers surname, replacing it with "Soulseeker", before leaving the orphanage that had cared for him for far too long. While wandering the streets of a port several miles north of his old home, he was told by a friendly Dragoon, who had taken pity on Alweo's plight, that a soldier's life might shed some light on his questioning. Eager to find a reason for his very existence, and knowing that Eorzea had been stricken with hardship and strife for a couple years or so, Alweo Soulseeker set out to that land, hoping that the life of a sellsword might help him find a reason to live, which he commonly refers to as "a soul".

Shortly after joining the Harbingers' Martial Branch, Al began exhibiting symptoms of undeath, with hair falling out and skin peeling/rotting away. Ultimately, limbs and other body parts began falling apart, as well as his mind. He ended up assaulting Val Nunh and several other Harbingers on the beach, injuring nearly all involved. Via Alveo's own prayer spike, a catalyst for Oschon's work, Al's soul was spared in the last moments before what could have easily been his death.

In the aftermath of the incident, Alveo is wary of his comrades, knowing that many are suspicious of his swift recovery and that some might even accuse him of necromancy. It is known by a select few in the company that Al is constantly stalked/watched by a distant, malevolent form. In the presence of voidsent and other cursed anomalies, Al's resistence to this presence is weakened, and he becomes extremely vulnerable to its pressure and goading. This can cause regression to an undead state, and depending on the intensity of this progression, can cause Al to become incredibly hostile and increase his combat prowess and endurance astronomically at the cost of normal bodily integrity, organ function, and humanity.

RELATIONS ♥ Romantic Interest    ● Ally    ● Acquainted    ● Rival ♥● Jancis Milburga : Having met Jancis while in a critical, nearly turned state of undeath, Al wasted no time asking her for assistance. While Alveo doesn't particular have a fondness for following the strict rules of his company, he is generally more cooperative in the woman's presence. They've become somewhat close, but with Al having deserted his company, their relationship is tested. On rare occasion, Al only vaguely expresses any interest. ● Rynn Berne : While Rynn tends to be a nuisance, Alveo sees the young Miqo'te as little brother. When Rynn became afflicted with Al's curse, Alveo regained a sense of urgency, and openly credits this to Rynn. Even though Alveo technically kidnapped him, Rynn has been quite helpful and cooperative with the soldier, and the two have become close friends. ● Bartolomeo Filangieri : Bartolomeo is Alveo's Lieutenant, and Al looks up to the knight for as a mentor, although his stubborn and headstrong nature often prompts him to disregard Bartolomeo's advice. Following an act of selflessness on Alveo's behalf, Bartolomeo's assistance allowed Alveo to avoid arrest and set sail for the Garlean Empire, effectively bolstering Alveo's chances of breaking his curse. ● Val Nunh : Alveo's official commander, Val has frequently, and often secretly, aided Alveo in his plight, albeit their connection has been strained by Al's recent rebellious actions and desertion. Alveo sees Val as the only Saint of the Harbingers worth talking to.
