Our story begins with a pair of miqo'te, Lina and Ke'sia. Their real names lost to the sands of time. Lina, who was one of the Seekers of the sun and Ke'sia, A keeper of the moon. Each of their tribes had found gemstones thought lost back in the distant past. The green sun, a fist sized emerald treasured by the Seekers as a holy artifact. The red moon, a fist sized Ruby that was treasured by the Keepers as a holy artifact as well. But the finding of these gemstones only brought chaos in their wake, as many who knew of the gemstones existence attempted to take them by force. Both Lina and Ke'sia we're fed up with the constant raids, their friends and family dying one after the other till they stood alone as strangers within their own tribes. Was it fate, destiny, or simple coincidence that led them to run away with their respective gemstones on the same cold night? Whose is to say. 
 +
 +
But in the depths of that tree shrouded night they found each other, gemstones in hand. Perhaps it was that which led them to trust each other. A common goal. Ke'sia could plainly see that Lina had no real idea how to navigate the black shroud and freely offered her assistance. Lina allowed herself to trust him and found herself led into a hidden clearing deep within the shroud. It was originally intended to simply be a hiding place for a few suns. But a plan was formulated between the two miqo'te. A changing of names took place, jobs were taken to provide what little money was needed and within a few short moons that clearing had become their new home. Their spark of love had become a towering inferno, culminating in a child later that turn. Both Lina and Ke'sia had their own ideas as to what the boy's name would be, which led to a week long discussion that ended with a happy compromise. Rei Wakeflame, a miqo'te born from an, at the time, unusual coupling.
 +
 +
The first four cycles of the young Miqo'te's life was peaceful. Lina and Ke'sia were kind and gentle parents who ,even at Rei's young age, had taught him to be kind and friendly to all. Still, Young Rei had a mischievous streak as he would always find a way to sneak away and explore. His parents nearly having heart attacks each time till they had found him. Still, they did not punish Rei for his exploitative nature and instead nurtured it by exploring with him.
 +
 +
A few short suns after Rei's fourth namesday, early in the morning there came an unsettling aura. Up through the floor arose a terrifying sight. Though arose might have been the wrong word, admittedly, as the being rose out of the floor with quite a bit of speed, then fell to the ground with a light thud. The being slowly began to rise to her feet, her wings wrapped around herself tightly as her young eyes looked around the door, filled with curiosity and wonder. Yet those same same glowing light blue eyes found themselves filled with fear as the very world began to reject her very presences. Out of desperation she reached out to a sleeping Rei, her body turning ethereal. Within the shallow breath of a second she was no where to be seen. But deep within Rei's body a battle began to rage. Through instinct rather than her own will, Milly attempted to overpower and consume Rei's young soul. But being barely a sun old, Milly was instead consumed by the raging flames. Her own soul being damaged and absorbed into the inferno of Rei's soul. Yet death did not come for her.
 +
 +
Rei had awoken, just before the final blow could be struck out against Milly. His soul's flame turning from its harsh state. His breathing quick and his face wet with tears. A nightmare had descended upon him when Milly had entered his body. A nightmare of him losing a strange, misunderstood friend. In his young mind he wished fervently that this new friend would not die. His very soul complied without him knowing, Milly's soul being saved and properly fused with Rei's soul. Lina burst into Rei's room but a moment later, pulling her son into a close and protective embrace. She looked into his eyes, only a moment of hesitation shooting through her body as she gazed upon his eyes. Rei looked up at her, blinking away tears from his newly mismatched eyes. His sad voice prompting Lina to hug him all the tighter, pressing his head against her chest softly. Milly quietly looked on through Rei's eyes, feeling his thoughts and emotions as if they were her own. Such deeply confused the young voidsent, as her short time within the void held only a harsh reality devoid of such feelings and thoughts. Amongst the sea of confusion that was her mind, She managed a few thoughts of her own.
 +
 +
"What is this? Why does this feel so, so different? This feels wrong. But at the same time this warmth. This... This whatever it is. It feels p-pleasant. I..."
 +
 +
She fell silent, her confused mind too full of Rei's thoughts for her to be able to function. All she would do was silently watch and listen through Rei's ears as time seemed to slip away into the future at an alarming rate. Suns passing like minutes, Moons passing like hours. Her young mind fighting for some semblance of individuality.
 +
It had been nearly an entire cycle before she finally had some real control over her mind, which had now been filled with Rei's thoughts and experiences.  Feelings and thoughts that were previously so foreign to her now felt familiar. Her previous instincts that had told her to fight Rei and To consume his soul had been quieted down to nothing more than some faint whispers in the back of her mind. Still she continued to feel trapped by Rei's soul, considering him simply a prison with a view.
 +
 +
Despite the pangs of contempt that she felt towards Rei, She used him to learn as much as she could about the world she was now in. Perhaps if she learned enough, she would be able to communicate with Rei so she wouldn't feel as imprisoned.
 +
 +
Again moons would pass by, Rei and his family living peacefully deep within the shroud. Remaining within their hidden alcove of safety. Sadly such would not last. Their location finally being found out by those that had designs upon the red moon. Within the dead of night, only a short few suns after Rei's fifth namesday, They attacked. Lina and Ke'sia could do naught but awaken to their own swift, brutal deaths. Lina's blood curdling scream for mercy being absorbed by the unfeeling wilderness. Rei could do aught but lay there in bed, terror freezing him in place as loud shouting and footsteps grew nearer to his bedroom door. Rei's death was swiftly approaching as tears streamed down his face. A loud voice from within himself screamed out to him, telling him to hide, telling him to keep silent. He felt his body move on its own, as if he was a puppet on a wire. Milly breathed a slow sigh of relief as she managed to pull Rei down under his bed, Her control over him being shaky at best. Despite this she manage to keep him still and keep him quiet as the bandits ravaged his home. She couldn't let Rei die. Not now. She still had so much she still needed to learn and she did not plan on dying just yet.
 +
 +
Eventually the house grew quiet, the bandits leaving the ransacked home in their wake as they escaped into the black of night. Rei's body shivered as Milly control over him waned. He slowly crawled out from under his bed, tears streaming down his face with each fear filled step he took through his families ravaged home. No child deserves to see their parents slain, especially in such a brutal and gory fashion. Confusion, sadness, despair, and loss assaulted Milly and Rei's mind in equal measure. Rei fell to his knees, his tears turning into a constant stream. He would have stayed there, kneeling and defeated had Milly not been there. She urged him onward as best she could, helping him collect what supplies hadn't been smashed. She also led him to a loose floorboard which contained his fathers spear, as well as the Red Moon and the Green Sun. The gemstones were pushed into a hidden pocket in Rei's shirt as he quietly left behind his home. The cool, crisp air of the forest blowing over him, pushing at his limp tail as he struggled along his way. While Rei was in such a weakened state, Milly could feel those whispers in the back of her mind trying urge her to defeat him and take true control. Yet Rei's feelings and lamenting touched Milly deeply, causing those whispers to fade into obscurity. Only weak yet primal urges remaining within her soul.
 +
 +
It was early morning when he was found by a Wood Wailer patrol, collapsed just a few short malms away from Gridania. Feeling sorry for him they carried him back to Gridania, where he was taken in by the Lancers guild. The poor young Miqo'te spent his first moon within the guild hiding himself away, Ether crying his eyes out in private or sitting in the corner, Fiercely protecting his fathers spear. By the end of the year he finally stopped crying himself to sleep, and instead distracted himself by learning from a few of the friendly members of the lancers guild. Reading and writing came naturally to him and upon his tenth namesday he had build up the courage to ask the current guild master if he could learn the way of the lance. From then on he dutifully trained every day under the guild master's watchful eye. He rarely if ever took breaks from his training and he would always find time to continue his studies, learning all he could while he was resting. Though his wanderlust would resurface, causing him to take late night excursions out into the wilderness that surrounded Gridania.
 +
 +
Its during one of those excursions, deep in the forest and far away from prying eyes, Milly finally revealed herself to Rei now that her most primal urges had finally be quelled. Rei, having heard of voidsent from the various books he had found and read, panicked at this news. Milly was prepared for such a reaction and proceeded to pelt Rei's mind with various memories from their shared past. Showing Rei that she had been his stalwart ally these past five years. She also made special mention that she hadn't eaten Rei's soul and had left his Aether untouched. Rei, being the kind and trusting Miqo'te that he is accepted Milly's explanation. They spent most of the night sitting under the the calm light of the moon, speaking with each other. Old memories from Millys past resurfacing as they spoke. Memories from before she had be transformed into a voidsent. She remained quiet about such. Simply enjoying being able to speak again.
 +
 +
Within the next four years, Rei and Milly come to a deeper understanding of each other and end up creating a solid bond of trust with each other. On more than one occasion Milly is nearly found out by some of the conjurers who would heal Rei after he would end up wounded. Luckily Rei had a quick tongue and Milly was able to deftly avoid their probing eyes each and every time. But after a particularly close call Rei finally mans up and decides its time to go out to become an adventurer. Despite only being fourteen he manages to find work and make a fair bit of Gil, as well as a good name for himself because of his solid work ethic.
 +
 +
Somewhere along the way Rei encounters the Merodi family and chooses to return to them from time to time, considering them his second family. He becomes very close with Shadow, Nemo, and Spades, as well as Spade's sister Hearts.
 +
Milly considered revealing herself to the Merodi's, but both Rei and Milly realised doing such would be foolish, and did all they could to keep Milly's existence a secret.
 +
 +
Some time after Rei's seventeenth names day and a particularly rough contract, Rei considered trying to learn how to manipulate Aether. After only a few days of study he attempts to cast a small fire spell to light a candle while in an Inn room. Doing such causes Milly's body to feel as if it had been lit on fire and she accidentally causes the spell to fizzled out and explode. Said explosion draining a lot of Rei's Aether, as well as taking out most of the Inn room's outward facing wall. Milly panics and forces Rei awake, getting him to crawl out of the hole they had just made. The screams of confusion and anger from the Inn keeper could be heard for Malm's as Rei crawled away to safety. After that day, he decided it would be best if he didn't try casting any more spells, but he did continue studying Aether and Aether manipulation, trying to find out what went wrong.
 +
 +
The years would continue to slowly tick away, Rei and Milly continuing to work together. Rei's tongue taking on sharp and silver quality as he manages to talk himself out of each troublesome situation that Milly's mere existence would cause. Still, he would manage to keep his image amongst the people of Eorzea in a positive light as he would continue to work towards doing what good he could in the world, even up till the fall of Dalamud. Sadly he would be unable to return to the Merodi's, the sandy badlands around him being blasted asunder as he dives into a nearby sandstone building. A stray bolt of energy slamming into the abandoned building causing one of the walls to fall on top of Rei, knocking him unconscious and giving him a heavy dose of Amnesia. Milly had done all she could to protect Rei as the wall fell on top of them, exhausting most of her energy. With her last feel conscious moments she gives Rei the memory of his name, then goes into a deep sleep to protect them both from her assumed voidsent nature.
 +
 +
The next five years would pass by like a blur as Rei does all he can to help rebuild the world after the calamity. The loss of his memories as well as a strange feeling of being alone troubling him whenever he laid down to rest. Still, he finds peace whenever he gives in to his wanderlust, eventually re-exploring much of Eorzea. There would be the scant few people who would recognize him, but speaking with them did not help restore Rei's memories. Considering it a lost cause, Rei simply continues on his life, unknowingly protecting those same gemstones that had been with him since he was barely five years old. Milly remaining asleep deep within him, remaining near perfectly hidden all the while.

Character

Rei is a well mannered and polite Miqo'te who has spent much of his life exploring. He has been to nearly all corners of the realm and greatly enjoys returning to the less civilized and quiet areas of the world.

He can be quite loyal, but only to those who have truly earned his trust. And even then it is not a blind loyalty. Still, he is always willing to offer a helping hand to anyone he happens to pass by.

Rei is surprisingly intelligent despite his shy and quiet demeanour. He has spend many a time reading and learning all he can in between training with his lance and doing jobs.

Rei had spent most of his life as a wandering mercenary, helping anyone and everyone he would come across regardless of payment. Currently this has changed as he has become employed by the Kindred. He... hasn't actually done much work wise since he joined up with them but he is being a lot more social than he used to be.

Overall Rei is a very kind and friendly person, if a bit quiet and reserved. He's like a rock in the stream we call life. Someone whom you can count on for support and protection, even if you barely know him. Though he does have his own hidden depths... and his own sort of cowardice.

General

Full Name - Rei Alissa Wakeflame


Height - 5 Fulms, 7 Ilms


Weight - 147 Ponz


Hair Colour - Black


Eye Colour - Left: Light blue/Right: Dark blue


Skin Colour - Dusty black


Religion - Althyk, The keeper ( Very loose belief/worship )


Laterality - Ambidextrous, but favours his right hand.


Sexuality - Promiscuously Bisexual

Behaviour

Speech- Rei tends to speak in a fairly sophisticated way, as well as being very polite. His voice is fairly deep, though he usually hides this fact by speaking in very gentle tones.


Mind- He's fairly mature for his age. He is also decently intelligent and never fully trusts anyone until he gets to know them better. Rei is mentally strong, thus it takes a lot to break him down.


Emotions- Rei prefers to keep his emotions in check at all times. He does his best to avoid having any outbursts or otherwise allow unpleasant emotions to surface in front of others. It takes a surprising amount of effort to cause him to break out of this shell, but if you do manage to anger him sufficiently he will show you exactly how angry he is, either with words or with fists as the case may be.


Appearance

Rei is a decently tall Miqo'te with a very long and fluffy tail. He has two differently coloured eyes, his left eye being light blue and his right eye being dark blue. He also has two marks near his eyes. His left ear as a small nick on the very tip.


Attire

Rei isn't particularity picky with what he wears. As long as it has some kind of armour attached to it that is. He also much prefers function over form with his clothing. Of course he does have one little quirk, that being that he MUST have a hidden pocket in whatever he wears.

Combat

Rei has been officially trained in how to use a spear and continues to train himself every day. He does have some skill with his fists, as he has managed to survive more than a couple of bar brawls. He also understands how to take a hit and also understands its better to parry or dodge a blow if possible. He has been in combat against many a monster and man, so it would be fair to say he's a seasoned warrior.


Lancing

Rei was trained in the way of the lance by the wood wailers in Gridania. He was a natural with a lance and learned many techniques very quickly. The spear he uses now is the same one he had back when he had to feld his raided home. The spear itself, as Rei had learned, is called an Obelisk. There are two small indentations along the shaft, almost as if something could be set into it.


Aether

Rei has reconsidered his stance on Aether and is currently being trained by Khuja in how to properly manipulate aether. Rei does have a small problem, as whenever he channels aether, force based aether builds up around his hands. He is able to make bubbles of force aspected aether, as well as putting a thin bubble of another type of aether around it, producing an explosive bubble with different effects.

There is also a small shift in Rei's Aether accompanied by his eyes changing colour sort of thing. Light blue eyes meaning he acts more submissive and gentle. Dark blue eyes meaning he's much more aggressive and dominate. Even darker blue eyes meaning a sort of berzerker state. Anger, stress, and pleasure, as well as certain situations will cause these changes to occur.
