:'''Logan Holden''' is a Warrior of Light hailing from Moraby Bay, where he grew up with a fisherman father and a Yellowjacket mother, alongside his fraternal twin Cherise. He left home after a series of dreams began to press themselves into his mind, including while he was wide awake. His sister decided to join him, and together the pair left for Ul'dah. From there he learned to fight while being a member of the Gladiator's Guild, and his eagerness to assist any who needed it was a valuable asset as a member of the Adventurer's Guild, and eventually he was given the offer to join the Scions of the Seventh Dawn. After joining, he ended up captured and facing tempering by the Amalj'aa primal, Ifrit, but found himself immune. Since then he's grown as a warrior, and began leading a small group of Scions, later forming the Free Company Awoken Wanderers with them, and becoming known as a Warrior of Light.

:Unknown to Logan, his early skill with fighting, his aetherpool, and connection to Hydaelyn comes from the soul of a Warrior of Light that was lost and otherwise forgotten after Bahamut released his barrage against Eorzea, an Elezen known as Lusiel Coydan. While they have no direct connection, Logan has become aware of her presence, and often does she manage to send him small amounts of knowledge or feelings about people or places she's seen. He also has a heavy empathetic connection to his Echo visions, and can acutely feel the emotions of those he sees in his visions. He never forgets them, and should he dwell on them too much, they will return in full force, which is something he often has to guard against.





==Free Company: Awoken Wanderers==
: The Awoken Wanderers were formed by Logan and his group of adventuring friends to create a home for both them, and give them a banner under which to go by when not acting within the confines of the Scions of the Seventh Dawn. It's main goal is to help assist and train adventurers, helping them learn the dangers of adventuring and how to get ahead in the Adventurer's Guild.

=Appearance=
[[File:Logan holden causal.png|right|350px]]
'''Height:''' 5 fulms 11 ilms

'''Weight:''' 186 ponz

'''Complexion: ''' Fair.

'''Hair: ''' Dark brown.

'''Eyes: ''' Dark brown.

: Logan's just above average height, with wide shoulders, and lots of muscle from hefting around his armour and shield, as well as putting them to use quite often. You'd be hard pressed to see them, aside from those on his arms, but Logan's covered in many small scrapes and scars from his many battles, though nothing that hasn't been able to be healed up for the most part. His hair is thick and soft, his eyes watchful, and his face looking like he's either very focused or a little upset, unless he's actively trying to look happy.

=Behavior=
=== '''''Behavior''''' ===
: Logan does his best to always be respectful of others upon meeting them, and generally stays quiet and lets them talk, until he's required to speak. When he is, he tends to answer in the shortest form possible, and often stammers through words until he can get a feel of the person and the conversation.
: When with people he trusts and feels comfortable with, he's far more open and enjoys telling jokes, stories, and listening to others. Even still, you'll often find him on his own, or to one side, as being around a lot of people can make him uncomfortable after long periods of time. He enjoys his quieter time to himself quite a bit.
: Logan is incredibly hard to make angry, though he may feign annoyance and frustration to give what he assumes is the desired reaction from a joke. He always makes sure you know when he's serious, and he hopes he'll get your attention as much as he'd give you his.
: The only time you'll see Logan honestly upset or angry is towards those who don't understand how to take care of others, or those who have betrayed or hurt people. He has little tolerance for the evils of the world, and holds fast to the phrase "do unto others as you would have them do unto you".
: If possible, Logan will prevent the death of any intelligent being, from the Elezen of Isghard to the Kobolds of La Noscea, putting his shield and sword pommel to good use. He does, however, accept that Eorzea is embroiled in violent conflicts, and that peaceful solutions are not always possible, and is willing to kill if necessary.

=== '''''Fears''''' ===
: ■ Ever since the Calamity, Logan's been scared of dragons. After being introduced to the more peaceful side of dragons in Dravania, his fear has lessened, but they can still make him heavily uneasy.
: ■ Being in a leadership position among his friends and even Eorzea, he's terrified of failure and letting down those who hold him to such a high standard.

===Preferences===
: Logan's ideal is someone who's willing to trust him, and open themselves to the same trust. Someone who's willing to work with him to create a solid relationship, knowing they'll have problems, but ready to work through them. He expects to have children and looks forward to raising a family.
: That said, he ended up infatuated with the mysterious Miqo'te, Aiko Slanda, who appeared early in his journey away from home. While she doesn't seem to fit his ideals at all, he nonetheless fell for her, knowing that as much as she needed the stability he was sure he could provide, but that she might hold a key to pushing him forward as a person, and to experience life to its fullest.

=Background=

===Childhood (Age 0-15)===
By the time Logan and Cherise were born, his parents were already set up in Moraby Bay. He knew little else for many years, aside from the Red Rooster Stead to the north, where his grandparents on his father's side live. His mother stayed at home and watched the twins for the first few years, until they were old enough to join their father on his fishing trips - under heavy watch. As they continued to grow, they began to assist with increasingly larger tasks with the fishing business until they were nearly full fledged members of the business, and were able to accompany their father to trips into Limsa Lominsa.

===The Calamity (Age 15-18)===
Things were tense for the year leading up the Calamity, business was shaky with the threat of the Garlean invasion, people were nervous, and though Logan and Cherise were mostly removed from much of it, even they knew things weren't right. Life became not quite as routine as it used to be, things were harder, and their parents were often stressed. Things weren't looking great, and then the moon fell. The sight had bothered Logan for weeks, knowing it was getting closer, and not knowing what that meant. The day it cracked open, and with the Garleans attacking in full force, Logan found himself huddled together with his family in their home, praying to the Twelve that they would make it out alive. All Logan ever saw from Dalamud or Bahamut was the flashes of flame, and the roars of debris and primal dragon alike. It was an experience he would never forget.

===The Call (Age 18)===
Things got better after the Calamity. It took a lot of work, but despite being separate from the mainland, work immediately set out on a bridge to reconnect the God's Grip to the rest of La Noscea. While Moraby Bay had taken damage, both the Holden household and the fishing ship that his father used, were perfectly intact. Business was kicked back up, and there was much work to do between fixing up the ports and building the bridge. It was hard, but different from when the Garleans were pressuring the Eorzean borders. Soon five years had gone by, and Logan had barely noticed. He now accompanied his father and sister nearly every day onto their fishing expeditions, along with the crew. But he began to have strange dreams, those of him becoming a great warrior brandishing a sword and shield, fighting against a dark cloaked figure, spurred on by an aetherial voice. It soon became obvious enough that it was a calling, not a dream, and with his parents' blessing and his sister's company, set out to Ul'dah to become a gladiator and adventurer.

===The Warrior of Light (Age 18-19)===
At first it was strange, hot, and uncomfortable to be so far away from home. Many times Logan thought it better to just go home, not thinking he was cut out for this, but knowing that his sister was acclimating well kept him in place. Eventually he ran across a strange purple-haired Miqo'te who dragged him around Thanalan every so often pleading assistance Logan didn't think she really needed. After a while, Logan finally started finding his place as a Gladiator and Adventurer both, finding pleasure in helping those that needed it. His kindness and honesty gave him an opening for helping a man named Papashan, who asked his help in locating an Ul'dahn noble that had gone missing. With Cherise's help they found her, as well as a voidsent monster - their first true test as fighters up to that point - and a mysterious man who appeared to help that also seemed to know the noble. Left behind was a strange crystal, and upon picking it up, Logan got a new vision of the voice from his dreams, of a gigantic crystal that seemed to be the source, who called herself Hydaelyn, and seemed to be something of a deity. After this, Logan also began to get visions of the past, triggered by means unknown, but always centered on a person or event that was being discussed. These visions left a strong impact on Logan, often causing him to need some time afterwards to recover, finding the emotions displayed within extremely strong and leaving a memory ingrained into his mind that did not fade over time.

Things escalated from there, with more mysterious events occurring and stronger monsters appearing. Eventually Logan and Cherise came face-to-face with the robed figure from Logan's dreams, and again with the stranger's help, fended him off. During a celebration of the battle that was won, Logan was given a vision of Calamity from the perspective of the Grand Company leaders, and the sight of Dalamud descending so close, and of Bahamut bursting forth found itself to be too strong of a sight for him, and he passed out on the spot. Despite the incident, Logan and Cherise's reputation as adventurers only grew, and soon they were ferried off to the other city states and their lands to help with other matters, all of which continued to test their strength.

After dealing with a few notable dangerous jobs from the Adventurer's Guild, Logan and Cherise were offered to join an organization known as the Scions of the Seventh Dawn by the previously unknown stranger who had introduced himself as Thancred. He also implied he knew something about the visions Logan was getting, and that they knew someone who had the same power. Considering his visions had been the entire reason they left home, they saw no reason not to follow up on this lead. They joined, and in doing so eventually came to find that the Amalj'aa were kidnapping people and collecting crystals. During their investigation, during which Aiko reappeared and joined them, found they were betrayed and ambushed by the Amalj'aa. Cherise was badly wounded and left for dead, Logan's last sight of her being crumpled against a wall bleeding before they knocked him out. When he awoke, he was bound and told they were to be presented to their god, Ifrit, for judgement. Logan and Aiko weren't alone, finding a few notable others, including their betrayer, also bound. Logan merely went along with things, his spirit broken, thinking his twin sister dead. However when he, Aiko - who finally awoke - and a few of the others found themselves immune to Ifrit's tempering, found an opportunity to fight back. Drawing his sword and shield for nothing but the defense of the others, Logan helped to defeat the primal, and was rewarded with backup from the Scions, led by his sister, very much alive.

They continued assisting the Scions, investigating further primal threats and tracking down the robed figures that were identified as Ascians, an ancient, evil group of beings, and the ones teaching the beast tribes how to summon their gods as primals. As things escalated, Logan and the other Echo-blessed warriors came together to battle a new primal threat, Titan. A few of these warriors had been working closely with him, specifically Aiko Slanda, who continued to stick around, an amnesiac with penchant for lost, powerful magic, and coming upon the skill of summoning; M'zikuh Rhaba, a Miqo'te with a talent for archery; Mercer Vitali, A Ninja who spent most of his time alone, but always willing to help when needed; and Celeste, an Au Ra with healing skills. They battled Titan, but before victory could be celebrated, found that their home, the Waking Sands, had been attacked by the Garleans, and the residents slain or captured. A particularly vivid Echo vision showed them all the result, and while no one was overly happy about it, they used the message given to them in their vision to retreat to the cathedral outside Camp Drybone. Logan drew into himself during this, the pure terror, pain, and sadness of the event affecting him greatly. He finally managed to shake it off by forcing himself to assist the priests with their tasks, but could not join the others in collecting the bodies of their fallen Scions, as the memory of the Echo vision was debilitating.

Logan spent most of their time at the cathedral debating about this Echo "blessing" and wondering why exactly he was the one chosen, and why he - a simple fisherman's son - was now suddenly at the head of a fight to defend Eorzea. He began to doubt himself heavily, unsure if he should even bother staying. He also had a curious feeling about the man known as Marques. He seemed to know things about the man, such as his ability to fix nearly any device given to him, but he did not know why. Finally, fed up with his moping, Cherise talked some sense into her brother, noting how demoralized the rest of their group was as well, stating that without something to refocus them, it was all going to fall apart, and the deaths of the Scions would be for naught. Logan agreed, and just then Alphinaud appeared and confirmed a new primal threat was rising from the Ixal, and their goddess Garuda. Alphinaud also identified the mysterious priest Marques as Cid Garlond, his memories lost after witnessing the traumatic events of the Calamity first hand. Logan was strangely unsurprised, despite not knowing the name at all, and immediately felt he could trust the man, though couldn't place why. With these revelations however, Logan began to formulate a plan. He went back to his group and announced he was forming a Free Company under the name of Awoken Wanderers, that no matter the state of the Scions or anything else, they would find a way to help, and then presented them with the long missing inventor and the new threat, and their plan to continue moving forward.

They defeated Garuda but encountered a new threat from the Garleans, a large mechanic monster known as Ultima, that absorbed Garuda, Titan and Ifrit's power. The Wanderers were forced to retreat, and found that the only way forward would be to retake the Waking Sands. Logan found it initially difficult, but after encountering the Scions that had been missing in the Echo vision, was relieved to find not all had perished or been taken. Bolstered by their further strength, but knowing that smaller steps had to be taken if they were to prevent the Garleans new plan, they began to mount a rescue of the still captured Scions. This ended up being a success, though a previously thought defeated Ascian had taken control of Thancred's body, leaving the Scions a man short. Despite this revelation, they knew what they had to do and managed to rally the Grand Companies of Eorzea and set up a plan to take the fight to the Garleans. They were to create an opening for the Echo-blessed warriors to get inside the main Castrum of the local Garlean forces, fight Ultima, and prevent it from destroying Eorzea. After a drawn out set of battles, against multiple high ranking Garlean officers, Ultima itself, and then finally the possessed Thancred, and with much assistance from the blessing of Hydaelyn, they finally succeeded, Logan and the others escaping at the last moment. With this success came the announcement that they had passed into a new Astral Era, and Logan and the other Echo-blessed warriors were officially given the title of Warriors of Light.

===Before the Fall (Age 19-20)===
Though the worst of the Garlean Empire had been staved off, they continued to threaten Eorzea, as did the beast tribes and their attempts to summon primals. Logan, the Wanderers, and the Scions all continue assisting the realm as best they can, helping them move from the somewhat politically charged location of Thanalan to the more neutral territory of Mor Dhona. Here, at the outpost known as Revenant's Toll, they set up the Rising Stones as a new headquarters. During the relative peace, many of the Wanderers go back to their normal lives, at least those that can. Logan continues working with the Scions closely, avoiding all questions about why he doesn't at least visit home.

At the same time, Alisaie, Alphinaud's twin sister, comes forward with a concern about Castrum Occidens and their research on a piece of Dalamud. Upon investigating, they found a deeply buried Allagan ship, and mysteries surrounding the Calamity itself. At its deepest point, the group however is surprised when they come across a regenerating Bahamut, and the sight of the creature causes Logan to pass out due to his own childhood trauma of the Calamity, coupled with Lusiel's lingering terror of being at the epicenter of Bahamut's awakening five years ago.

Soon, the Domans arrive and Logan finds an easy excuse to stay busy. Things don't work out for long however, as eventually a new primal threat, Leviathan, arises. In their effort to find a way to battle the new primal, Logan and the Warriors of Light end up back in Moraby Bay regardless. Logan expresses obvious awkwardness in being back home, and as the Warriors are gathered to finally go off and battle Leviathan, they soon understand why. His parents recognize him, and display shock and concern over the fact that Logan is, in fact, one of the Warriors of Light, and not simply an adventurer as his letters, which he had sent regularly to assure his parents that he and his sister were still alive, had implied. He has little time to deal with it however, as Leviathan is already on the move, and so awkwardly he says farewell but assuring his parents that he will explain more when he returns.

While his parents seem understanding enough, they are greatly worried, and the other Wanderers being to hear talk of people around Moraby Bay being upset at Logan's sudden reappearance as a Warrior of Light. It comes to a head when Logan is called out in public for not helping the still struggling bay area, since he's got all this power and fame now. Found scorned by his own home, but without wanting it to impact his family, Logan insists his parents publicly cast him out, but promises he'll try to visit when things quiet down, and he can sneak in more anonymously.

More events continue over the intervening months, Ramuh is summoned and bested, and Alphinaud creates the Crystal Braves in an attempt to give the Scions more ability to assist across the realm, a group that Logan eagerly assists, finding it to be a wonderful idea. Ishgardian heretics become more prevalent, causing an official investigation into their leader, Iceheart. A Garlean spy is uncovered and tracked down with the help of the Braves and the Doman shinobi. An old friend of Minfilia's and a fellow Sharlyan scholar, Moenbryda, arrives to help them research a way to permanently defeat Ascians. She also assists in helping the Warriors reach Iceheart, who seems capable of summoning the power of the saint Shiva, in the form of a primal, or something similar. Logan is left reeling when, before escaping, she mutters the words "Hear, feel, think". But events are now pulling his attention in various directions. With Alisaie's help, the Warriors manage to face the resurrected White Raven of Garlemald, the lingering tempered spirit of Louisoix, and finally Bahamut himself, an act that forces Logan to finally overcome his childhood fears. The Crystal Braves meanwhile begin to leave Logan uneasy, the company seemingly being manipulated in the shadows, but he can't focus on it with relations with Ishgard coming to the forefront with the appearance of Aymeric de Borel attempting to rally the Eorzean Alliance's assistance with their ongoing war with the dragons.

Things all come to a head when an investigation into the possibility that Midgardsormr, the thought to be deceased Keeper of the Lake, is in fact still alive, reveals his spirit still lingering at the top of the crystallized ruins of his body and the Garlean airship he felled. He suddenly strips Logan and the other Warriors of Hydaeyln's blessing, replacing it with a special bond to himself, creating a new, smaller physical form, and confirms that the dravanians are heeding Nidhogg's call to war, and that nothing will stop them. The removal of the blessing then gives way to an Ascian infiltrating the Rising Stones and kidnapping Minfilia, forcing a conflict that ends with Moenbryda's death, though her strategy of using auracite works, and the Ascian is slain in her name. Shortly after the Ishgardians report that a new wave of dravanians is approaching Ishgard, and Logan and the Wanderers jump to assist, saving the Steps of Faith from crumbling to the horde. Finally reports of true corruption among the Crystal Braves surfaces, and Logan's suspicions are proven. Before he can attempt to act on any of this, he is lured into the Sultana's chambers, and forced to witness her apparent death at the hands of a hidden poison in her drink.

The Blades and Braves take over the situation, branding Logan, the Warriors of Light, and the Scions, traitors. The Wanderers are scattered, the Scions sacrifice themselves one by one to allow the Warriors to flee, and Logan is left broken, wishing he had seen any of this coming earlier, mourning the loss of so many of his friends.

===The Dragonsong War (Age 20-22)===
Tired, broken, and disheartened, Logan more stumbles his way out of Ul'dah than making any kind of bold escape. The recent events leading up to the disastrous party and then its aftermath left him exhausted and angry. Plans were formed to escape to Ishgard, kept safe by House Fortemps. But Logan could only see failure. The Scions were missing or dead, feeling it unlikely that Ilberd would take any prisoners, the Braves had been betrayed and shattered, many of the Awoken Wanderers were out of contact and he had no idea where they were, nor even if they - or the property the Free Company held in the Mists - were safe. It all became too much as the group stumbled through the blizzards leading into the city of Ishgard proper, and Logan collapsed, angry and crying, once again only coming to his feet proper from the words of his sister. They reached House Fortemps, and Logan almost immediately collapsed into bed. Upon waking, and feeling little better about himself or the situation, found that Aiko had disappeared. A deep-seated, longtime fear of losing her to the feelings he'd never admitted, now faced him. On top of every other failure, he could not stand to lose Aiko as well, and so announced to the Warriors and Wanderers that remained, that he was leaving to look for her, no matter how long it took. Few argued, aside from Cherise, who thought it folly, but ultimately, Logan left.

Since most of Eorzea was hostile towards the Warriors of Light, Logan instead hid with Garlond Ironworks in Revenant's Toll, sleeping in a cot in a small room, as unassuming as he could manage, despite Cid's insistence he could provide better lodging. Midgardsormr appeared often during this time, testing Logan's resolve to continue searching, as day after day went by with no progress in finding Aiko. He became almost mindless as time went on, knowing he could not give up looking, lest he give up on everything, but tired, both from physically searching Eorzea and from Midgardsormr's constant berating and questioning. But finally, Brayflox ran into Logan, informing him that there seemed to be another dragon by her outpost, and insisted he look into it. Without anything better to do, he agreed, having not searched that area for Aiko yet either. It turned out that the dragon was Aiko practicing black magic, inside the very cave that they had once cleared of the dravanian menace. Finally face to face, and pleading for her to rejoin the Warriors of Light in Ishgard, Logan confessed his feelings to her, and she accepted them. After spending the night in an inn room - where, despite Aiko's advances, nothing occurred between them - they finally returned to Ishgard.

Logan spent the next few months working with Alphinaud, Estinien, Ysayle and Aymeric to uncover the plots of the heretics, dravanians and even Garleans in an attempt to bring peace to the region. He explored the new lands, got used to seeing dragons as friendly, killed Nidhogg in an attempt to halt the dravanian horde, and even argued with Hraesvelgr over how to bring peace to both their people. Things, as always, escalated to the point where the heretics laid down their arms, the Heaven's Ward and Archbishop began to reveal a plot of their own, and in the end, much like Ysayle, the Archbishop took on the primal form of the original King Thordan. Despite a harried battle, the Archbishop was felled, and Logan and the others walked away, thinking peace at hand. Unfortunately, Estinien, upon taking hold of both of Nidhogg's eyes, found himself possessed by the thought to be felled ancient dragon, and was reborn anew. It seemed as though the Dragonsong War was yet to be ended.

After this, Logan began to train in the ways of the Dragoon, thinking it useful to use the tried and true methods of the Ishgardians elite force in fighting the dravanians, not to mention Cherise had already found her own soul stone and been training in the same disciplines. While he wouldn't come to its full potential until the war was near its end, it still bolstered his combat abilities and gave him new options outside of his usual Paladin tactics. During this training, he found that since he had never actually been in contact with Nidhogg's eye while training as a dragoon, he could not draw on the blood of the dragon like the others. Instead he had to supplement that power with the residual aether of Bahamut from his fight against the primal, much how Aiko used it for her summoning. It worked, but the result was harsher than expected, and the primal instincts of death and destruction nearly overpowered him. It was eventually controlled, but Logan feared to use it again, unsure if he'd be able to keep it in check, especially during combat.

To Logan's great relief as well, the other Scions were gradually found and rescued, brought back into the fold, all aside from Minfilia who seemed to join with Hydaelyn to allow her to speak again, after seemingly draining herself in assisting the Warriors of Light during the battle with Ultima. While he mourned her loss, knew she hadn't exactly died either, and was still, in some way, assisting them.

===Family===

: ■●Sheryl Holden, (Mother)

::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">Logan's Thoughts: TBA</div>
:::: Logan's mother was an adventurer once upon a time, though even after deciding to settle down, found a simple life wasn't quite for her, so she works as a Yellowjacket, helping to guard and keep safe the dwellers of La Noscea. She's very pleasant, and has a much keener sense of humour than her husband.

: ■●Daniel Holden, (Father)

::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">Logan's Thoughts: TBA</div>
:::: Logan's father, through means unknown to the boy still, found himself in a partnership with a small ship's captain, and his first mate. Together they sail the seas off the shores of Lower La Noscea fishing up all they can manage in a day, day after day. He's generally a serious looking person, but get on his good side and he'll always have your back. He's extremely intelligent.

: ■●Cherise Holden, (Fraternal Twin Sister)

::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">Logan's Thoughts: TBA</div>
:::: Logan and Cherise grew up together, but he has no idea he knows very little about her, or at least what she was up to for much of their youth in La Noscea. While their personalities tend to clash a lot, with Logan being very much an optimist and open to helping others, Cherise is more pragmatic and often only helps others because she doesn't want her brother scolding her over ignoring them. In the end they often manage to balance each other out, and though she harbours some resentment over not being chosen as a bearer of the Echo, she still supports her brother with something as important as the future of their world. Logan loves his sister to the ends of the earth, the only one who he loves as much is Aiko, and even then he's not sure he could choose between them.

: ■●Jennifer Holden, (Cousin)

::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">Logan's Thoughts: TBA</div>
:::: Jennifer grew up in Gridania, away from Logan and his side of the family, so they only know each other by a few letters and one meeting from when they were children. Still, he finds her to be a great supporter of both him and his work, and admires her ability to speak so casually with just about anyone and get on their good side. He's extremely happy he's been able to get to know her more since leaving home.

: ♥Aiko Slanda, (Girlfriend)
:: 
::: 
:::: An Arcanist Logan found while wandering Thanalan, she quickly saw his use in all manner of activities around the region, particularly his "willingness" to distract monsters while she either fought them or went about other business. As he was friendly enough, she began to follow him about as he trained as a gladiator, until she found herself swept up in events after being taken alongside him to Ifrit to be tempered. After this she seemed to stick around, and while she often scared Logan as much as anything else, he found her a comfort, especially in that she didn't seem to judge him overly much, and proved a wonderful distraction when things started becoming difficult and discouraging. It didn't take long for him to develop feelings for her, but was warned early that she may not be one to accept such an admission. So he held off saying anything at all to her about this for years, in fear that she might instead run away and never be seen again.

:::: However, after fleeing to Ishgard, Logan found Aiko had disappeared overnight without a word. His worst fear already come true, he abandoned the Scions with word he was going to retrieve her and bring her back, no matter what it took. Not everyone was overly accepting of this, but none convinced him to stay. He spent the next few weeks searching. When he finally found her in a cave not far from the goblin settlement where they had felled a dragon not long into their time with the Scions. Logan revealed then and there that he had feelings for Aiko, since she had already run off, there seemed to be little downside to the admission. To his surprise, she accepted it, and agreed to return to Ishgard with him. Despite the admission, little changed in their relationship, though with the distraction of their newfound fight in Ishgard, it was unsurprising. It was discouraging to Logan however, as he now no longer knew what to to do next, and it seemed as though Aiko had simply returned to their normal way of doing things, and maybe hadn't taken his admission seriously. After a word with Tataru however, who had absolutely noticed a change in Aiko's mood and behaviour, and had not known about the admission beforehand, assured Logan that must've been the difference.

:::: Despite this information Logan had little time to formulate a relationship plan, so it wasn't until shortly after returning from defeating the primal of King Thordan that he officially asked Aiko to openly be in a relationship. Again, somewhat to his surprise, she agreed. Since then, things have continued mostly as usual, but Logan is very happy knowing that she has agreed to stay with him.

:'''Logan Holden''' is a Warrior of Light hailing from Moraby Bay, where he grew up with a fisherman father and a Yellowjacket mother, alongside his fraternal twin Cherise. He left home after a series of dreams began to press themselves into his mind, including while he was wide awake. His sister decided to join him, and together the pair left for Ul'dah. From there he learned to fight while being a member of the Gladiator's Guild, and his eagerness to assist any who needed it was a valuable asset as a member of the Adventurer's Guild, and eventually he was given the offer to join the Scions of the Seventh Dawn. After joining, he ended up captured and facing tempering by the Amalj'aa primal, Ifrit, but found himself immune. Since then he's grown as a warrior, and began leading a small group of Scions, later forming the Free Company Awoken Wanderers with them, and becoming known as a Warrior of Light.

:Unknown to Logan, his early skill with fighting, his aetherpool, and connection to Hydaelyn comes from the soul of a Warrior of Light that was lost and otherwise forgotten after Bahamut released his barrage against Eorzea, an Elezen known as Lusiel Coydan. While they have no direct connection, Logan has become aware of her presence, and often does she manage to send him small amounts of knowledge or feelings about people or places she's seen. He also has a heavy empathetic connection to his Echo visions, and can acutely feel the emotions of those he sees in his visions. He never forgets them, and should he dwell on them too much, they will return in full force, which is something he often has to guard against.





==Free Company: Awoken Wanderers==
: The Awoken Wanderers were formed by Logan and his group of adventuring friends to create a home for both them, and give them a banner under which to go by when not acting within the confines of the Scions of the Seventh Dawn. It's main goal is to help assist and train adventurers, helping them learn the dangers of adventuring and how to get ahead in the Adventurer's Guild.

=Appearance=
[[File:Logan holden causal.png|right|350px]]
'''Height:''' 5 fulms 11 ilms

'''Weight:''' 186 ponz

'''Complexion: ''' Fair.

'''Hair: ''' Dark brown.

'''Eyes: ''' Dark brown.

: Logan's just above average height, with wide shoulders, and lots of muscle from hefting around his armour and shield, as well as putting them to use quite often. You'd be hard pressed to see them, aside from those on his arms, but Logan's covered in many small scrapes and scars from his many battles, though nothing that hasn't been able to be healed up for the most part. His hair is thick and soft, his eyes watchful, and his face looking like he's either very focused or a little upset, unless he's actively trying to look happy.

=Behavior=
=== '''''Behavior''''' ===
: Logan does his best to always be respectful of others upon meeting them, and generally stays quiet and lets them talk, until he's required to speak. When he is, he tends to answer in the shortest form possible, and often stammers through words until he can get a feel of the person and the conversation.
: When with people he trusts and feels comfortable with, he's far more open and enjoys telling jokes, stories, and listening to others. Even still, you'll often find him on his own, or to one side, as being around a lot of people can make him uncomfortable after long periods of time. He enjoys his quieter time to himself quite a bit.
: Logan is incredibly hard to make angry, though he may feign annoyance and frustration to give what he assumes is the desired reaction from a joke. He always makes sure you know when he's serious, and he hopes he'll get your attention as much as he'd give you his.
: The only time you'll see Logan honestly upset or angry is towards those who don't understand how to take care of others, or those who have betrayed or hurt people. He has little tolerance for the evils of the world, and holds fast to the phrase "do unto others as you would have them do unto you".
: If possible, Logan will prevent the death of any intelligent being, from the Elezen of Isghard to the Kobolds of La Noscea, putting his shield and sword pommel to good use. He does, however, accept that Eorzea is embroiled in violent conflicts, and that peaceful solutions are not always possible, and is willing to kill if necessary.

=== '''''Fears''''' ===
: ■ Ever since the Calamity, Logan's been scared of dragons. After being introduced to the more peaceful side of dragons in Dravania, his fear has lessened, but they can still make him heavily uneasy.
: ■ Being in a leadership position among his friends and even Eorzea, he's terrified of failure and letting down those who hold him to such a high standard.

===Preferences===
: Logan's ideal is someone who's willing to trust him, and open themselves to the same trust. Someone who's willing to work with him to create a solid relationship, knowing they'll have problems, but ready to work through them. He expects to have children and looks forward to raising a family.
: That said, he ended up infatuated with the mysterious Miqo'te, Aiko Slanda, who appeared early in his journey away from home. While she doesn't seem to fit his ideals at all, he nonetheless fell for her, knowing that as much as she needed the stability he was sure he could provide, but that she might hold a key to pushing him forward as a person, and to experience life to its fullest.

: ■ Aettir, Holy Shield

=== '''''Magic''''' ===
Logan knows what magic was taught to him through his Paladin Soul Crystal, as well as some simple conjury and healing ability from his cousin, Jen.

=Background=

===Childhood (Age 0-15)===
By the time Logan and Cherise were born, his parents were already set up in Moraby Bay. He knew little else for many years, aside from the Red Rooster Stead to the north, where his grandparents on his father's side live. His mother stayed at home and watched the twins for the first few years, until they were old enough to join their father on his fishing trips - under heavy watch. As they continued to grow, they began to assist with increasingly larger tasks with the fishing business until they were nearly full fledged members of the business, and were able to accompany their father to trips into Limsa Lominsa.

===The Calamity (Age 15-18)===
Things were tense for the year leading up the Calamity, business was shaky with the threat of the Garlean invasion, people were nervous, and though Logan and Cherise were mostly removed from much of it, even they knew things weren't right. Life became not quite as routine as it used to be, things were harder, and their parents were often stressed. Things weren't looking great, and then the moon fell. The sight had bothered Logan for weeks, knowing it was getting closer, and not knowing what that meant. The day it cracked open, and with the Garleans attacking in full force, Logan found himself huddled together with his family in their home, praying to the Twelve that they would make it out alive. All Logan ever saw from Dalamud or Bahamut was the flashes of flame, and the roars of debris and primal dragon alike. It was an experience he would never forget.

===The Call (Age 18)===
Things got better after the Calamity. It took a lot of work, but despite being separate from the mainland, work immediately set out on a bridge to reconnect the God's Grip to the rest of La Noscea. While Moraby Bay had taken damage, both the Holden household and the fishing ship that his father used, were perfectly intact. Business was kicked back up, and there was much work to do between fixing up the ports and building the bridge. It was hard, but different from when the Garleans were pressuring the Eorzean borders. Soon five years had gone by, and Logan had barely noticed. He now accompanied his father and sister nearly every day onto their fishing expeditions, along with the crew. But he began to have strange dreams, those of him becoming a great warrior brandishing a sword and shield, fighting against a dark cloaked figure, spurred on by an aetherial voice. It soon became obvious enough that it was a calling, not a dream, and with his parents' blessing and his sister's company, set out to Ul'dah to become a gladiator and adventurer.

===The Warrior of Light (Age 18-19)===
At first it was strange, hot, and uncomfortable to be so far away from home. Many times Logan thought it better to just go home, not thinking he was cut out for this, but knowing that his sister was acclimating well kept him in place. Eventually he ran across a strange purple-haired Miqo'te who dragged him around Thanalan every so often pleading assistance Logan didn't think she really needed. After a while, Logan finally started finding his place as a Gladiator and Adventurer both, finding pleasure in helping those that needed it. His kindness and honesty gave him an opening for helping a man named Papashan, who asked his help in locating an Ul'dahn noble that had gone missing. With Cherise's help they found her, as well as a voidsent monster - their first true test as fighters up to that point - and a mysterious man who appeared to help that also seemed to know the noble. Left behind was a strange crystal, and upon picking it up, Logan got a new vision of the voice from his dreams, of a gigantic crystal that seemed to be the source, who called herself Hydaelyn, and seemed to be something of a deity. After this, Logan also began to get visions of the past, triggered by means unknown, but always centered on a person or event that was being discussed. These visions left a strong impact on Logan, often causing him to need some time afterwards to recover, finding the emotions displayed within extremely strong and leaving a memory ingrained into his mind that did not fade over time.

Things escalated from there, with more mysterious events occurring and stronger monsters appearing. Eventually Logan and Cherise came face-to-face with the robed figure from Logan's dreams, and again with the stranger's help, fended him off. During a celebration of the battle that was won, Logan was given a vision of Calamity from the perspective of the Grand Company leaders, and the sight of Dalamud descending so close, and of Bahamut bursting forth found itself to be too strong of a sight for him, and he passed out on the spot. Despite the incident, Logan and Cherise's reputation as adventurers only grew, and soon they were ferried off to the other city states and their lands to help with other matters, all of which continued to test their strength.

After dealing with a few notable dangerous jobs from the Adventurer's Guild, Logan and Cherise were offered to join an organization known as the Scions of the Seventh Dawn by the previously unknown stranger who had introduced himself as Thancred. He also implied he knew something about the visions Logan was getting, and that they knew someone who had the same power. Considering his visions had been the entire reason they left home, they saw no reason not to follow up on this lead. They joined, and in doing so eventually came to find that the Amalj'aa were kidnapping people and collecting crystals. During their investigation, during which Aiko reappeared and joined them, found they were betrayed and ambushed by the Amalj'aa. Cherise was badly wounded and left for dead, Logan's last sight of her being crumpled against a wall bleeding before they knocked him out. When he awoke, he was bound and told they were to be presented to their god, Ifrit, for judgement. Logan and Aiko weren't alone, finding a few notable others, including their betrayer, also bound. Logan merely went along with things, his spirit broken, thinking his twin sister dead. However when he, Aiko - who finally awoke - and a few of the others found themselves immune to Ifrit's tempering, found an opportunity to fight back. Drawing his sword and shield for nothing but the defense of the others, Logan helped to defeat the primal, and was rewarded with backup from the Scions, led by his sister, very much alive.

They continued assisting the Scions, investigating further primal threats and tracking down the robed figures that were identified as Ascians, an ancient, evil group of beings, and the ones teaching the beast tribes how to summon their gods as primals. As things escalated, Logan and the other Echo-blessed warriors came together to battle a new primal threat, Titan. A few of these warriors had been working closely with him, specifically Aiko Slanda, who continued to stick around, an amnesiac with penchant for lost, powerful magic, and coming upon the skill of summoning; M'zikuh Rhaba, a Miqo'te with a talent for archery; Mercer Vitali, A Ninja who spent most of his time alone, but always willing to help when needed; and Celeste, an Au Ra with healing skills. They battled Titan, but before victory could be celebrated, found that their home, the Waking Sands, had been attacked by the Garleans, and the residents slain or captured. A particularly vivid Echo vision showed them all the result, and while no one was overly happy about it, they used the message given to them in their vision to retreat to the cathedral outside Camp Drybone. Logan drew into himself during this, the pure terror, pain, and sadness of the event affecting him greatly. He finally managed to shake it off by forcing himself to assist the priests with their tasks, but could not join the others in collecting the bodies of their fallen Scions, as the memory of the Echo vision was debilitating.

Logan spent most of their time at the cathedral debating about this Echo "blessing" and wondering why exactly he was the one chosen, and why he - a simple fisherman's son - was now suddenly at the head of a fight to defend Eorzea. He began to doubt himself heavily, unsure if he should even bother staying. He also had a curious feeling about the man known as Marques. He seemed to know things about the man, such as his ability to fix nearly any device given to him, but he did not know why. Finally, fed up with his moping, Cherise talked some sense into her brother, noting how demoralized the rest of their group was as well, stating that without something to refocus them, it was all going to fall apart, and the deaths of the Scions would be for naught. Logan agreed, and just then Alphinaud appeared and confirmed a new primal threat was rising from the Ixal, and their goddess Garuda. Alphinaud also identified the mysterious priest Marques as Cid Garlond, his memories lost after witnessing the traumatic events of the Calamity first hand. Logan was strangely unsurprised, despite not knowing the name at all, and immediately felt he could trust the man, though couldn't place why. With these revelations however, Logan began to formulate a plan. He went back to his group and announced he was forming a Free Company under the name of Awoken Wanderers, that no matter the state of the Scions or anything else, they would find a way to help, and then presented them with the long missing inventor and the new threat, and their plan to continue moving forward.

They defeated Garuda but encountered a new threat from the Garleans, a large mechanic monster known as Ultima, that absorbed Garuda, Titan and Ifrit's power. The Wanderers were forced to retreat, and found that the only way forward would be to retake the Waking Sands. Logan found it initially difficult, but after encountering the Scions that had been missing in the Echo vision, was relieved to find not all had perished or been taken. Bolstered by their further strength, but knowing that smaller steps had to be taken if they were to prevent the Garleans new plan, they began to mount a rescue of the still captured Scions. This ended up being a success, though a previously thought defeated Ascian had taken control of Thancred's body, leaving the Scions a man short. Despite this revelation, they knew what they had to do and managed to rally the Grand Companies of Eorzea and set up a plan to take the fight to the Garleans. They were to create an opening for the Echo-blessed warriors to get inside the main Castrum of the local Garlean forces, fight Ultima, and prevent it from destroying Eorzea. After a drawn out set of battles, against multiple high ranking Garlean officers, Ultima itself, and then finally the possessed Thancred, and with much assistance from the blessing of Hydaelyn, they finally succeeded, Logan and the others escaping at the last moment. With this success came the announcement that they had passed into a new Astral Era, and Logan and the other Echo-blessed warriors were officially given the title of Warriors of Light.

===Before the Fall (Age 19-20)===
Though the worst of the Garlean Empire had been staved off, they continued to threaten Eorzea, as did the beast tribes and their attempts to summon primals. Logan, the Wanderers, and the Scions all continue assisting the realm as best they can, helping them move from the somewhat politically charged location of Thanalan to the more neutral territory of Mor Dhona. Here, at the outpost known as Revenant's Toll, they set up the Rising Stones as a new headquarters. During the relative peace, many of the Wanderers go back to their normal lives, at least those that can. Logan continues working with the Scions closely, avoiding all questions about why he doesn't at least visit home.

At the same time, Alisaie, Alphinaud's twin sister, comes forward with a concern about Castrum Occidens and their research on a piece of Dalamud. Upon investigating, they found a deeply buried Allagan ship, and mysteries surrounding the Calamity itself. At its deepest point, the group however is surprised when they come across a regenerating Bahamut, and the sight of the creature causes Logan to pass out due to his own childhood trauma of the Calamity, coupled with Lusiel's lingering terror of being at the epicenter of Bahamut's awakening five years ago.

Soon, the Domans arrive and Logan finds an easy excuse to stay busy. Things don't work out for long however, as eventually a new primal threat, Leviathan, arises. In their effort to find a way to battle the new primal, Logan and the Warriors of Light end up back in Moraby Bay regardless. Logan expresses obvious awkwardness in being back home, and as the Warriors are gathered to finally go off and battle Leviathan, they soon understand why. His parents recognize him, and display shock and concern over the fact that Logan is, in fact, one of the Warriors of Light, and not simply an adventurer as his letters, which he had sent regularly to assure his parents that he and his sister were still alive, had implied. He has little time to deal with it however, as Leviathan is already on the move, and so awkwardly he says farewell but assuring his parents that he will explain more when he returns.

While his parents seem understanding enough, they are greatly worried, and the other Wanderers being to hear talk of people around Moraby Bay being upset at Logan's sudden reappearance as a Warrior of Light. It comes to a head when Logan is called out in public for not helping the still struggling bay area, since he's got all this power and fame now. Found scorned by his own home, but without wanting it to impact his family, Logan insists his parents publicly cast him out, but promises he'll try to visit when things quiet down, and he can sneak in more anonymously.

More events continue over the intervening months, Ramuh is summoned and bested, and Alphinaud creates the Crystal Braves in an attempt to give the Scions more ability to assist across the realm, a group that Logan eagerly assists, finding it to be a wonderful idea. Ishgardian heretics become more prevalent, causing an official investigation into their leader, Iceheart. A Garlean spy is uncovered and tracked down with the help of the Braves and the Doman shinobi. An old friend of Minfilia's and a fellow Sharlyan scholar, Moenbryda, arrives to help them research a way to permanently defeat Ascians. She also assists in helping the Warriors reach Iceheart, who seems capable of summoning the power of the saint Shiva, in the form of a primal, or something similar. Logan is left reeling when, before escaping, she mutters the words "Hear, feel, think". But events are now pulling his attention in various directions. With Alisaie's help, the Warriors manage to face the resurrected White Raven of Garlemald, the lingering tempered spirit of Louisoix, and finally Bahamut himself, an act that forces Logan to finally overcome his childhood fears. The Crystal Braves meanwhile begin to leave Logan uneasy, the company seemingly being manipulated in the shadows, but he can't focus on it with relations with Ishgard coming to the forefront with the appearance of Aymeric de Borel attempting to rally the Eorzean Alliance's assistance with their ongoing war with the dragons.

Things all come to a head when an investigation into the possibility that Midgardsormr, the thought to be deceased Keeper of the Lake, is in fact still alive, reveals his spirit still lingering at the top of the crystallized ruins of his body and the Garlean airship he felled. He suddenly strips Logan and the other Warriors of Hydaeyln's blessing, replacing it with a special bond to himself, creating a new, smaller physical form, and confirms that the dravanians are heeding Nidhogg's call to war, and that nothing will stop them. The removal of the blessing then gives way to an Ascian infiltrating the Rising Stones and kidnapping Minfilia, forcing a conflict that ends with Moenbryda's death, though her strategy of using auracite works, and the Ascian is slain in her name. Shortly after the Ishgardians report that a new wave of dravanians is approaching Ishgard, and Logan and the Wanderers jump to assist, saving the Steps of Faith from crumbling to the horde. Finally reports of true corruption among the Crystal Braves surfaces, and Logan's suspicions are proven. Before he can attempt to act on any of this, he is lured into the Sultana's chambers, and forced to witness her apparent death at the hands of a hidden poison in her drink.

The Blades and Braves take over the situation, branding Logan, the Warriors of Light, and the Scions, traitors. The Wanderers are scattered, the Scions sacrifice themselves one by one to allow the Warriors to flee, and Logan is left broken, wishing he had seen any of this coming earlier, mourning the loss of so many of his friends.

===The Dragonsong War (Age 20-22)===
Tired, broken, and disheartened, Logan more stumbles his way out of Ul'dah than making any kind of bold escape. The recent events leading up to the disastrous party and then its aftermath left him exhausted and angry. Plans were formed to escape to Ishgard, kept safe by House Fortemps. But Logan could only see failure. The Scions were missing or dead, feeling it unlikely that Ilberd would take any prisoners, the Braves had been betrayed and shattered, many of the Awoken Wanderers were out of contact and he had no idea where they were, nor even if they - or the property the Free Company held in the Mists - were safe. It all became too much as the group stumbled through the blizzards leading into the city of Ishgard proper, and Logan collapsed, angry and crying, once again only coming to his feet proper from the words of his sister. They reached House Fortemps, and Logan almost immediately collapsed into bed. Upon waking, and feeling little better about himself or the situation, found that Aiko had disappeared. A deep-seated, longtime fear of losing her to the feelings he'd never admitted, now faced him. On top of every other failure, he could not stand to lose Aiko as well, and so announced to the Warriors and Wanderers that remained, that he was leaving to look for her, no matter how long it took. Few argued, aside from Cherise, who thought it folly, but ultimately, Logan left.

Since most of Eorzea was hostile towards the Warriors of Light, Logan instead hid with Garlond Ironworks in Revenant's Toll, sleeping in a cot in a small room, as unassuming as he could manage, despite Cid's insistence he could provide better lodging. Midgardsormr appeared often during this time, testing Logan's resolve to continue searching, as day after day went by with no progress in finding Aiko. He became almost mindless as time went on, knowing he could not give up looking, lest he give up on everything, but tired, both from physically searching Eorzea and from Midgardsormr's constant berating and questioning. But finally, Brayflox ran into Logan, informing him that there seemed to be another dragon by her outpost, and insisted he look into it. Without anything better to do, he agreed, having not searched that area for Aiko yet either. It turned out that the dragon was Aiko practicing black magic, inside the very cave that they had once cleared of the dravanian menace. Finally face to face, and pleading for her to rejoin the Warriors of Light in Ishgard, Logan confessed his feelings to her, and she accepted them. After spending the night in an inn room - where, despite Aiko's advances, nothing occurred between them - they finally returned to Ishgard.

Logan spent the next few months working with Alphinaud, Estinien, Ysayle and Aymeric to uncover the plots of the heretics, dravanians and even Garleans in an attempt to bring peace to the region. He explored the new lands, got used to seeing dragons as friendly, killed Nidhogg in an attempt to halt the dravanian horde, and even argued with Hraesvelgr over how to bring peace to both their people. Things, as always, escalated to the point where the heretics laid down their arms, the Heaven's Ward and Archbishop began to reveal a plot of their own, and in the end, much like Ysayle, the Archbishop took on the primal form of the original King Thordan. Despite a harried battle, the Archbishop was felled, and Logan and the others walked away, thinking peace at hand. Unfortunately, Estinien, upon taking hold of both of Nidhogg's eyes, found himself possessed by the thought to be felled ancient dragon, and was reborn anew. It seemed as though the Dragonsong War was yet to be ended.

After this, Logan began to train in the ways of the Dragoon, thinking it useful to use the tried and true methods of the Ishgardians elite force in fighting the dravanians, not to mention Cherise had already found her own soul stone and been training in the same disciplines. While he wouldn't come to its full potential until the war was near its end, it still bolstered his combat abilities and gave him new options outside of his usual Paladin tactics. During this training, he found that since he had never actually been in contact with Nidhogg's eye while training as a dragoon, he could not draw on the blood of the dragon like the others. Instead he had to supplement that power with the residual aether of Bahamut from his fight against the primal, much how Aiko used it for her summoning. It worked, but the result was harsher than expected, and the primal instincts of death and destruction nearly overpowered him. It was eventually controlled, but Logan feared to use it again, unsure if he'd be able to keep it in check, especially during combat.

To Logan's great relief as well, the other Scions were gradually found and rescued, brought back into the fold, all aside from Minfilia who seemed to join with Hydaelyn to allow her to speak again, after seemingly draining herself in assisting the Warriors of Light during the battle with Ultima. While he mourned her loss, knew she hadn't exactly died either, and was still, in some way, assisting them.

===Family===

: ■●Sheryl Holden, (Mother)

::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">Logan's Thoughts: TBA</div>
:::: Logan's mother was an adventurer once upon a time, though even after deciding to settle down, found a simple life wasn't quite for her, so she works as a Yellowjacket, helping to guard and keep safe the dwellers of La Noscea. She's very pleasant, and has a much keener sense of humour than her husband.

: ■●Daniel Holden, (Father)

::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">Logan's Thoughts: TBA</div>
:::: Logan's father, through means unknown to the boy still, found himself in a partnership with a small ship's captain, and his first mate. Together they sail the seas off the shores of Lower La Noscea fishing up all they can manage in a day, day after day. He's generally a serious looking person, but get on his good side and he'll always have your back. He's extremely intelligent.

: ■●Cherise Holden, (Fraternal Twin Sister)

::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">Logan's Thoughts: TBA</div>
:::: Jennifer grew up in Gridania, away from Logan and his side of the family, so they only know each other by a few letters and one meeting from when they were children. Still, he finds her to be a great supporter of both him and his work, and admires her ability to speak so casually with just about anyone and get on their good side. He's extremely happy he's been able to get to know her more since leaving home.

:::: 

: ♥Aiko Slanda, (Girlfriend)
:: 
::: 
:::: An Arcanist Logan found while wandering Thanalan, she quickly saw his use in all manner of activities around the region, particularly his "willingness" to distract monsters while she either fought them or went about other business. As he was friendly enough, she began to follow him about as he trained as a gladiator, until she found herself swept up in events after being taken alongside him to Ifrit to be tempered. After this she seemed to stick around, and while she often scared Logan as much as anything else, he found her a comfort, especially in that she didn't seem to judge him overly much, and proved a wonderful distraction when things started becoming difficult and discouraging. It didn't take long for him to develop feelings for her, but was warned early that she may not be one to accept such an admission. So he held off saying anything at all to her about this for years, in fear that she might instead run away and never be seen again.

:::: However, after fleeing to Ishgard, Logan found Aiko had disappeared overnight without a word. His worst fear already come true, he abandoned the Scions with word he was going to retrieve her and bring her back, no matter what it took. Not everyone was overly accepting of this, but none convinced him to stay. He spent the next few weeks searching. When he finally found her in a cave not far from the goblin settlement where they had felled a dragon not long into their time with the Scions. Logan revealed then and there that he had feelings for Aiko, since she had already run off, there seemed to be little downside to the admission. To his surprise, she accepted it, and agreed to return to Ishgard with him. Despite the admission, little changed in their relationship, though with the distraction of their newfound fight in Ishgard, it was unsurprising. It was discouraging to Logan however, as he now no longer knew what to to do next, and it seemed as though Aiko had simply returned to their normal way of doing things, and maybe hadn't taken his admission seriously. After a word with Tataru however, who had absolutely noticed a change in Aiko's mood and behaviour, and had not known about the admission beforehand, assured Logan that must've been the difference.

:::: Despite this information Logan had little time to formulate a relationship plan, so it wasn't until shortly after returning from defeating the primal of King Thordan that he officially asked Aiko to openly be in a relationship. Again, somewhat to his surprise, she agreed. Since then, things have continued mostly as usual, but Logan is very happy knowing that she has agreed to stay with him.

: ●M'zikuh Rhaba
:: 
::: 
:::: One of Logan's oldest adventuring friends, and a fellow Warrior of Light and member of Awoken Wanderers

: ●[[William Fedorason]]
:: 
::: 
:::: A fellow Warrior of Light, and one of Logan's good friends, leader of his own Free Company.

: ●Sugis Kevade
:: 
::: 
:::: Someone who enjoys torturing Logan almost as much as Aiko, but very willingly helps to distract him from the stresses of being a Warrior of Light, since she works very closely with Will, as well as being a member of his Free Company.

:'''Logan Holden''' is a Warrior of Light hailing from Moraby Bay, where he grew up with a fisherman father and a Yellowjacket mother, alongside his fraternal twin Cherise. He left home after a series of dreams began to press themselves into his mind, including while he was wide awake. His sister decided to join him, and together the pair left for Ul'dah. From there he learned to fight while being a member of the Gladiator's Guild, and his eagerness to assist any who needed it was a valuable asset as a member of the Adventurer's Guild, and eventually he was given the offer to join the Scions of the Seventh Dawn. After joining, he ended up captured and facing tempering by the Amalj'aa primal, Ifrit, but found himself immune. Since then he's grown as a warrior, and began leading a small group of Scions, later forming the Free Company Awoken Wanderers with them, and becoming known as a Warrior of Light.

:Unknown to Logan, his early skill with fighting, his aetherpool, and connection to Hydaelyn comes from the soul of a Warrior of Light that was lost and otherwise forgotten after Bahamut released his barrage against Eorzea, an Elezen known as Lusiel Coydan. While they have no direct connection, Logan has become aware of her presence, and often does she manage to send him small amounts of knowledge or feelings about people or places she's seen. He also has a heavy empathetic connection to his Echo visions, and can acutely feel the emotions of those he sees in his visions. He never forgets them, and should he dwell on them too much, they will return in full force, which is something he often has to guard against.





==Free Company: Awoken Wanderers==
: The Awoken Wanderers were formed by Logan and his group of adventuring friends to create a home for both them, and give them a banner under which to go by when not acting within the confines of the Scions of the Seventh Dawn. It's main goal is to help assist and train adventurers, helping them learn the dangers of adventuring and how to get ahead in the Adventurer's Guild.

=Appearance=
[[File:Logan holden causal.png|right|350px]]
'''Height:''' 5 fulms 11 ilms

'''Weight:''' 186 ponz

'''Complexion: ''' Fair.

'''Hair: ''' Dark brown.

'''Eyes: ''' Dark brown.

: Logan's just above average height, with wide shoulders, and lots of muscle from hefting around his armour and shield, as well as putting them to use quite often. You'd be hard pressed to see them, aside from those on his arms, but Logan's covered in many small scrapes and scars from his many battles, though nothing that hasn't been able to be healed up for the most part. His hair is thick and soft, his eyes watchful, and his face looking like he's either very focused or a little upset, unless he's actively trying to look happy.

=Behavior=
=== '''''Behavior''''' ===
: Logan does his best to always be respectful of others upon meeting them, and generally stays quiet and lets them talk, until he's required to speak. When he is, he tends to answer in the shortest form possible, and often stammers through words until he can get a feel of the person and the conversation.
: When with people he trusts and feels comfortable with, he's far more open and enjoys telling jokes, stories, and listening to others. Even still, you'll often find him on his own, or to one side, as being around a lot of people can make him uncomfortable after long periods of time. He enjoys his quieter time to himself quite a bit.
: Logan is incredibly hard to make angry, though he may feign annoyance and frustration to give what he assumes is the desired reaction from a joke. He always makes sure you know when he's serious, and he hopes he'll get your attention as much as he'd give you his.
: The only time you'll see Logan honestly upset or angry is towards those who don't understand how to take care of others, or those who have betrayed or hurt people. He has little tolerance for the evils of the world, and holds fast to the phrase "do unto others as you would have them do unto you".
: If possible, Logan will prevent the death of any intelligent being, from the Elezen of Isghard to the Kobolds of La Noscea, putting his shield and sword pommel to good use. He does, however, accept that Eorzea is embroiled in violent conflicts, and that peaceful solutions are not always possible, and is willing to kill if necessary.

=== '''''Fears''''' ===
: ■ Ever since the Calamity, Logan's been scared of dragons. After being introduced to the more peaceful side of dragons in Dravania, his fear has lessened, but they can still make him heavily uneasy.
: ■ Being in a leadership position among his friends and even Eorzea, he's terrified of failure and letting down those who hold him to such a high standard.

===Preferences===
: Logan's ideal is someone who's willing to trust him, and open themselves to the same trust. Someone who's willing to work with him to create a solid relationship, knowing they'll have problems, but ready to work through them. He expects to have children and looks forward to raising a family.
: That said, he ended up infatuated with the mysterious Miqo'te, Aiko Slanda, who appeared early in his journey away from home. While she doesn't seem to fit his ideals at all, he nonetheless fell for her, knowing that as much as she needed the stability he was sure he could provide, but that she might hold a key to pushing him forward as a person, and to experience life to its fullest.

=Abilities/Skills=
===Abilities/Skills===
Logan is trained mostly in the combat style of Gladiators and Paladins, though he knows a little of conjury from Jen, and has some skill as a Dragoon as well.

=== '''''Weapons''''' ===
: ■ Aettir, Holy Shield

=== '''''Magic''''' ===
Logan knows what magic was taught to him through his Paladin Soul Crystal, as well as some simple conjury and healing ability from his cousin, Jen.

=== '''''Crafting''''' ===
Logan has some simple crafting ability in the disciplines of weaving and carpentry, just enough to mend simple damage to such items, as he often assisted in the repair of items required for the family fishing business.

=== '''''Talents''''' ===

=Background=

===Childhood (Age 0-15)===
By the time Logan and Cherise were born, his parents were already set up in Moraby Bay. He knew little else for many years, aside from the Red Rooster Stead to the north, where his grandparents on his father's side live. His mother stayed at home and watched the twins for the first few years, until they were old enough to join their father on his fishing trips - under heavy watch. As they continued to grow, they began to assist with increasingly larger tasks with the fishing business until they were nearly full fledged members of the business, and were able to accompany their father to trips into Limsa Lominsa.

===The Calamity (Age 15-18)===
Things were tense for the year leading up the Calamity, business was shaky with the threat of the Garlean invasion, people were nervous, and though Logan and Cherise were mostly removed from much of it, even they knew things weren't right. Life became not quite as routine as it used to be, things were harder, and their parents were often stressed. Things weren't looking great, and then the moon fell. The sight had bothered Logan for weeks, knowing it was getting closer, and not knowing what that meant. The day it cracked open, and with the Garleans attacking in full force, Logan found himself huddled together with his family in their home, praying to the Twelve that they would make it out alive. All Logan ever saw from Dalamud or Bahamut was the flashes of flame, and the roars of debris and primal dragon alike. It was an experience he would never forget.

===The Call (Age 18)===
Things got better after the Calamity. It took a lot of work, but despite being separate from the mainland, work immediately set out on a bridge to reconnect the God's Grip to the rest of La Noscea. While Moraby Bay had taken damage, both the Holden household and the fishing ship that his father used, were perfectly intact. Business was kicked back up, and there was much work to do between fixing up the ports and building the bridge. It was hard, but different from when the Garleans were pressuring the Eorzean borders. Soon five years had gone by, and Logan had barely noticed. He now accompanied his father and sister nearly every day onto their fishing expeditions, along with the crew. But he began to have strange dreams, those of him becoming a great warrior brandishing a sword and shield, fighting against a dark cloaked figure, spurred on by an aetherial voice. It soon became obvious enough that it was a calling, not a dream, and with his parents' blessing and his sister's company, set out to Ul'dah to become a gladiator and adventurer.

===The Warrior of Light (Age 18-19)===
At first it was strange, hot, and uncomfortable to be so far away from home. Many times Logan thought it better to just go home, not thinking he was cut out for this, but knowing that his sister was acclimating well kept him in place. Eventually he ran across a strange purple-haired Miqo'te who dragged him around Thanalan every so often pleading assistance Logan didn't think she really needed. After a while, Logan finally started finding his place as a Gladiator and Adventurer both, finding pleasure in helping those that needed it. His kindness and honesty gave him an opening for helping a man named Papashan, who asked his help in locating an Ul'dahn noble that had gone missing. With Cherise's help they found her, as well as a voidsent monster - their first true test as fighters up to that point - and a mysterious man who appeared to help that also seemed to know the noble. Left behind was a strange crystal, and upon picking it up, Logan got a new vision of the voice from his dreams, of a gigantic crystal that seemed to be the source, who called herself Hydaelyn, and seemed to be something of a deity. After this, Logan also began to get visions of the past, triggered by means unknown, but always centered on a person or event that was being discussed. These visions left a strong impact on Logan, often causing him to need some time afterwards to recover, finding the emotions displayed within extremely strong and leaving a memory ingrained into his mind that did not fade over time.

Things escalated from there, with more mysterious events occurring and stronger monsters appearing. Eventually Logan and Cherise came face-to-face with the robed figure from Logan's dreams, and again with the stranger's help, fended him off. During a celebration of the battle that was won, Logan was given a vision of Calamity from the perspective of the Grand Company leaders, and the sight of Dalamud descending so close, and of Bahamut bursting forth found itself to be too strong of a sight for him, and he passed out on the spot. Despite the incident, Logan and Cherise's reputation as adventurers only grew, and soon they were ferried off to the other city states and their lands to help with other matters, all of which continued to test their strength.

After dealing with a few notable dangerous jobs from the Adventurer's Guild, Logan and Cherise were offered to join an organization known as the Scions of the Seventh Dawn by the previously unknown stranger who had introduced himself as Thancred. He also implied he knew something about the visions Logan was getting, and that they knew someone who had the same power. Considering his visions had been the entire reason they left home, they saw no reason not to follow up on this lead. They joined, and in doing so eventually came to find that the Amalj'aa were kidnapping people and collecting crystals. During their investigation, during which Aiko reappeared and joined them, found they were betrayed and ambushed by the Amalj'aa. Cherise was badly wounded and left for dead, Logan's last sight of her being crumpled against a wall bleeding before they knocked him out. When he awoke, he was bound and told they were to be presented to their god, Ifrit, for judgement. Logan and Aiko weren't alone, finding a few notable others, including their betrayer, also bound. Logan merely went along with things, his spirit broken, thinking his twin sister dead. However when he, Aiko - who finally awoke - and a few of the others found themselves immune to Ifrit's tempering, found an opportunity to fight back. Drawing his sword and shield for nothing but the defense of the others, Logan helped to defeat the primal, and was rewarded with backup from the Scions, led by his sister, very much alive.

They continued assisting the Scions, investigating further primal threats and tracking down the robed figures that were identified as Ascians, an ancient, evil group of beings, and the ones teaching the beast tribes how to summon their gods as primals. As things escalated, Logan and the other Echo-blessed warriors came together to battle a new primal threat, Titan. A few of these warriors had been working closely with him, specifically Aiko Slanda, who continued to stick around, an amnesiac with penchant for lost, powerful magic, and coming upon the skill of summoning; M'zikuh Rhaba, a Miqo'te with a talent for archery; Mercer Vitali, A Ninja who spent most of his time alone, but always willing to help when needed; and Celeste, an Au Ra with healing skills. They battled Titan, but before victory could be celebrated, found that their home, the Waking Sands, had been attacked by the Garleans, and the residents slain or captured. A particularly vivid Echo vision showed them all the result, and while no one was overly happy about it, they used the message given to them in their vision to retreat to the cathedral outside Camp Drybone. Logan drew into himself during this, the pure terror, pain, and sadness of the event affecting him greatly. He finally managed to shake it off by forcing himself to assist the priests with their tasks, but could not join the others in collecting the bodies of their fallen Scions, as the memory of the Echo vision was debilitating.

Logan spent most of their time at the cathedral debating about this Echo "blessing" and wondering why exactly he was the one chosen, and why he - a simple fisherman's son - was now suddenly at the head of a fight to defend Eorzea. He began to doubt himself heavily, unsure if he should even bother staying. He also had a curious feeling about the man known as Marques. He seemed to know things about the man, such as his ability to fix nearly any device given to him, but he did not know why. Finally, fed up with his moping, Cherise talked some sense into her brother, noting how demoralized the rest of their group was as well, stating that without something to refocus them, it was all going to fall apart, and the deaths of the Scions would be for naught. Logan agreed, and just then Alphinaud appeared and confirmed a new primal threat was rising from the Ixal, and their goddess Garuda. Alphinaud also identified the mysterious priest Marques as Cid Garlond, his memories lost after witnessing the traumatic events of the Calamity first hand. Logan was strangely unsurprised, despite not knowing the name at all, and immediately felt he could trust the man, though couldn't place why. With these revelations however, Logan began to formulate a plan. He went back to his group and announced he was forming a Free Company under the name of Awoken Wanderers, that no matter the state of the Scions or anything else, they would find a way to help, and then presented them with the long missing inventor and the new threat, and their plan to continue moving forward.

They defeated Garuda but encountered a new threat from the Garleans, a large mechanic monster known as Ultima, that absorbed Garuda, Titan and Ifrit's power. The Wanderers were forced to retreat, and found that the only way forward would be to retake the Waking Sands. Logan found it initially difficult, but after encountering the Scions that had been missing in the Echo vision, was relieved to find not all had perished or been taken. Bolstered by their further strength, but knowing that smaller steps had to be taken if they were to prevent the Garleans new plan, they began to mount a rescue of the still captured Scions. This ended up being a success, though a previously thought defeated Ascian had taken control of Thancred's body, leaving the Scions a man short. Despite this revelation, they knew what they had to do and managed to rally the Grand Companies of Eorzea and set up a plan to take the fight to the Garleans. They were to create an opening for the Echo-blessed warriors to get inside the main Castrum of the local Garlean forces, fight Ultima, and prevent it from destroying Eorzea. After a drawn out set of battles, against multiple high ranking Garlean officers, Ultima itself, and then finally the possessed Thancred, and with much assistance from the blessing of Hydaelyn, they finally succeeded, Logan and the others escaping at the last moment. With this success came the announcement that they had passed into a new Astral Era, and Logan and the other Echo-blessed warriors were officially given the title of Warriors of Light.

===Before the Fall (Age 19-20)===
Though the worst of the Garlean Empire had been staved off, they continued to threaten Eorzea, as did the beast tribes and their attempts to summon primals. Logan, the Wanderers, and the Scions all continue assisting the realm as best they can, helping them move from the somewhat politically charged location of Thanalan to the more neutral territory of Mor Dhona. Here, at the outpost known as Revenant's Toll, they set up the Rising Stones as a new headquarters. During the relative peace, many of the Wanderers go back to their normal lives, at least those that can. Logan continues working with the Scions closely, avoiding all questions about why he doesn't at least visit home.

At the same time, Alisaie, Alphinaud's twin sister, comes forward with a concern about Castrum Occidens and their research on a piece of Dalamud. Upon investigating, they found a deeply buried Allagan ship, and mysteries surrounding the Calamity itself. At its deepest point, the group however is surprised when they come across a regenerating Bahamut, and the sight of the creature causes Logan to pass out due to his own childhood trauma of the Calamity, coupled with Lusiel's lingering terror of being at the epicenter of Bahamut's awakening five years ago.

Soon, the Domans arrive and Logan finds an easy excuse to stay busy. Things don't work out for long however, as eventually a new primal threat, Leviathan, arises. In their effort to find a way to battle the new primal, Logan and the Warriors of Light end up back in Moraby Bay regardless. Logan expresses obvious awkwardness in being back home, and as the Warriors are gathered to finally go off and battle Leviathan, they soon understand why. His parents recognize him, and display shock and concern over the fact that Logan is, in fact, one of the Warriors of Light, and not simply an adventurer as his letters, which he had sent regularly to assure his parents that he and his sister were still alive, had implied. He has little time to deal with it however, as Leviathan is already on the move, and so awkwardly he says farewell but assuring his parents that he will explain more when he returns.

While his parents seem understanding enough, they are greatly worried, and the other Wanderers being to hear talk of people around Moraby Bay being upset at Logan's sudden reappearance as a Warrior of Light. It comes to a head when Logan is called out in public for not helping the still struggling bay area, since he's got all this power and fame now. Found scorned by his own home, but without wanting it to impact his family, Logan insists his parents publicly cast him out, but promises he'll try to visit when things quiet down, and he can sneak in more anonymously.

More events continue over the intervening months, Ramuh is summoned and bested, and Alphinaud creates the Crystal Braves in an attempt to give the Scions more ability to assist across the realm, a group that Logan eagerly assists, finding it to be a wonderful idea. Ishgardian heretics become more prevalent, causing an official investigation into their leader, Iceheart. A Garlean spy is uncovered and tracked down with the help of the Braves and the Doman shinobi. An old friend of Minfilia's and a fellow Sharlyan scholar, Moenbryda, arrives to help them research a way to permanently defeat Ascians. She also assists in helping the Warriors reach Iceheart, who seems capable of summoning the power of the saint Shiva, in the form of a primal, or something similar. Logan is left reeling when, before escaping, she mutters the words "Hear, feel, think". But events are now pulling his attention in various directions. With Alisaie's help, the Warriors manage to face the resurrected White Raven of Garlemald, the lingering tempered spirit of Louisoix, and finally Bahamut himself, an act that forces Logan to finally overcome his childhood fears. The Crystal Braves meanwhile begin to leave Logan uneasy, the company seemingly being manipulated in the shadows, but he can't focus on it with relations with Ishgard coming to the forefront with the appearance of Aymeric de Borel attempting to rally the Eorzean Alliance's assistance with their ongoing war with the dragons.

Things all come to a head when an investigation into the possibility that Midgardsormr, the thought to be deceased Keeper of the Lake, is in fact still alive, reveals his spirit still lingering at the top of the crystallized ruins of his body and the Garlean airship he felled. He suddenly strips Logan and the other Warriors of Hydaeyln's blessing, replacing it with a special bond to himself, creating a new, smaller physical form, and confirms that the Dravanians are heeding Nidhogg's call to war, and that nothing will stop them. The removal of the blessing then gives way to an Ascian infiltrating the Rising Stones and kidnapping Minfilia, forcing a conflict that ends with Moenbryda's death, though her strategy of using auracite works, and the Ascian is slain in her name. Shortly after the Ishgardians report that a new wave of dravanians is approaching Ishgard, and Logan and the Wanderers jump to assist, saving the Steps of Faith from crumbling to the horde. Finally reports of true corruption among the Crystal Braves surfaces, and Logan's suspicions are proven. Before he can attempt to act on any of this, he is lured into the Sultana's chambers, and forced to witness her apparent death at the hands of a hidden poison in her drink.

The Blades and Braves take over the situation, branding Logan, the Warriors of Light, and the Scions, traitors. The Wanderers are scattered, the Scions sacrifice themselves one by one to allow the Warriors to flee, and Logan is left broken, wishing he had seen any of this coming earlier, mourning the loss of so many of his friends.

===Family===

: ■●Sheryl Holden, (Mother)

::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">Logan's Thoughts: TBA</div>
:::: Logan's mother was an adventurer once upon a time, though even after deciding to settle down, found a simple life wasn't quite for her, so she works as a Yellowjacket, helping to guard and keep safe the dwellers of La Noscea. She's very pleasant, and has a much keener sense of humour than her husband.

: ■●Daniel Holden, (Father)

::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">Logan's Thoughts: TBA</div>
:::: Logan's father, through means unknown to the boy still, found himself in a partnership with a small ship's captain, and his first mate. Together they sail the seas off the shores of Lower La Noscea fishing up all they can manage in a day, day after day. He's generally a serious looking person, but get on his good side and he'll always have your back. He's extremely intelligent.

: ■●Cherise Holden, (Fraternal Twin Sister)

::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">Logan's Thoughts: TBA</div>
:::: Jennifer grew up in Gridania, away from Logan and his side of the family, so they only know each other by a few letters and one meeting from when they were children. Still, he finds her to be a great supporter of both him and his work, and admires her ability to speak so casually with just about anyone and get on their good side. He's extremely happy he's been able to get to know her more since leaving home.

:::: 

: ♥Aiko Slanda, (Girlfriend)
:: 
::: 
:::: An Arcanist Logan found while wandering Thanalan, she quickly saw his use in all manner of activities around the region, particularly his "willingness" to distract monsters while she either fought them or went about other business. As he was friendly enough, she began to follow him about as he trained as a gladiator, until she found herself swept up in events after being taken alongside him to Ifrit to be tempered. After this she seemed to stick around, and while she often scared Logan as much as anything else, he found her a comfort, especially in that she didn't seem to judge him overly much, and proved a wonderful distraction when things started becoming difficult and discouraging. It didn't take long for him to develop feelings for her, but was warned early that she may not be one to accept such an admission. So he held off saying anything at all to her about this for years, in fear that she might instead run away and never be seen again.

:::: However, after fleeing to Ishgard, Logan found Aiko had disappeared overnight without a word. His worst fear already come true, he abandoned the Scions with word he was going to retrieve her and bring her back, no matter what it took. Not everyone was overly accepting of this, but none convinced him to stay. He spent the next few weeks searching. When he finally found her in a cave not far from the goblin settlement where they had felled a dragon not long into their time with the Scions. Logan revealed then and there that he had feelings for Aiko, since she had already run off, there seemed to be little downside to the admission. To his surprise, she accepted it, and agreed to return to Ishgard with him. Despite the admission, little changed in their relationship, though with the distraction of their newfound fight in Ishgard, it was unsurprising. It was discouraging to Logan however, as he now no longer knew what to to do next, and it seemed as though Aiko had simply returned to their normal way of doing things, and maybe hadn't taken his admission seriously. After a word with Tataru however, who had absolutely noticed a change in Aiko's mood and behaviour, and had not known about the admission beforehand, assured Logan that must've been the difference.

:::: Despite this information Logan had little time to formulate a relationship plan, so it wasn't until shortly after returning from defeating the primal of King Thordan that he officially asked Aiko to openly be in a relationship. Again, somewhat to his surprise, she agreed. Since then, things have continued mostly as usual, but Logan is very happy knowing that she has agreed to stay with him.

: ●M'zikuh Rhaba
:: 
::: 
:::: One of Logan's oldest adventuring friends, and a fellow Warrior of Light and member of Awoken Wanderers

: ●[[William Fedorason]]
:: 
::: 
:::: A fellow Warrior of Light, and one of Logan's good friends, leader of his own Free Company.

: ●Sugis Kevade
:: 
::: 
:::: Someone who enjoys torturing Logan almost as much as Aiko, but very willingly helps to distract him from the stresses of being a Warrior of Light, since she works very closely with Will, as well as being a member of his Free Company.

:'''Logan Holden''' is a Warrior of Light hailing from Moraby Bay, where he grew up with a fisherman father and a Yellowjacket mother, alongside his fraternal twin Cherise. He left home after a series of dreams began to press themselves into his mind, including while he was wide awake. His sister decided to join him, and together the pair left for Ul'dah. From there he learned to fight while being a member of the Gladiator's Guild, and his eagerness to assist any who needed it was a valuable asset as a member of the Adventurer's Guild, and eventually he was given the offer to join the Scions of the Seventh Dawn. After joining, he ended up captured and facing tempering by the Amalj'aa primal, Ifrit, but found himself immune. Since then he's grown as a warrior, and began leading a small group of Scions, later forming the Free Company Awoken Wanderers with them, and becoming known as a Warrior of Light.

:Unknown to Logan, his early skill with fighting, his aetherpool, and connection to Hydaelyn comes from the soul of a Warrior of Light that was lost and otherwise forgotten after Bahamut released his barrage against Eorzea, an Elezen known as Lusiel Coydan. While they have no direct connection, Logan has become aware of her presence, and often does she manage to send him small amounts of knowledge or feelings about people or places she's seen. He also has a heavy empathetic connection to his Echo visions, and can acutely feel the emotions of those he sees in his visions. He never forgets them, and should he dwell on them too much, they will return in full force, which is something he often has to guard against.





==Free Company: Awoken Wanderers==
: The Awoken Wanderers were formed by Logan and his group of adventuring friends to create a home for both them, and give them a banner under which to go by when not acting within the confines of the Scions of the Seventh Dawn. It's main goal is to help assist and train adventurers, helping them learn the dangers of adventuring and how to get ahead in the Adventurer's Guild.

=Appearance=
[[File:Logan holden causal.png|right|350px]]
'''Height:''' 5 fulms 11 ilms

'''Weight:''' 186 ponz

'''Complexion: ''' Fair.

'''Hair: ''' Dark brown.

'''Eyes: ''' Dark brown.

: Logan's just above average height, with wide shoulders, and lots of muscle from hefting around his armour and shield, as well as putting them to use quite often. You'd be hard pressed to see them, aside from those on his arms, but Logan's covered in many small scrapes and scars from his many battles, though nothing that hasn't been able to be healed up for the most part. His hair is thick and soft, his eyes watchful, and his face looking like he's either very focused or a little upset, unless he's actively trying to look happy.

=Behavior=
=== '''''Behavior''''' ===
: Logan does his best to always be respectful of others upon meeting them, and generally stays quiet and lets them talk, until he's required to speak. When he is, he tends to answer in the shortest form possible, and often stammers through words until he can get a feel of the person and the conversation.
: When with people he trusts and feels comfortable with, he's far more open and enjoys telling jokes, stories, and listening to others. Even still, you'll often find him on his own, or to one side, as being around a lot of people can make him uncomfortable after long periods of time. He enjoys his quieter time to himself quite a bit.
: Logan is incredibly hard to make angry, though he may feign annoyance and frustration to give what he assumes is the desired reaction from a joke. He always makes sure you know when he's serious, and he hopes he'll get your attention as much as he'd give you his.
: The only time you'll see Logan honestly upset or angry is towards those who don't understand how to take care of others, or those who have betrayed or hurt people. He has little tolerance for the evils of the world, and holds fast to the phrase "do unto others as you would have them do unto you".
: If possible, Logan will prevent the death of any intelligent being, from the Elezen of Isghard to the Kobolds of La Noscea, putting his shield and sword pommel to good use. He does, however, accept that Eorzea is embroiled in violent conflicts, and that peaceful solutions are not always possible, and is willing to kill if necessary.

=== '''''Fears''''' ===
: ■ Ever since the Calamity, Logan's been scared of dragons. After being introduced to the more peaceful side of dragons in Dravania, his fear has lessened, but they can still make him heavily uneasy.
: ■ Being in a leadership position among his friends and even Eorzea, he's terrified of failure and letting down those who hold him to such a high standard.

===Preferences===
: Logan's ideal is someone who's willing to trust him, and open themselves to the same trust. Someone who's willing to work with him to create a solid relationship, knowing they'll have problems, but ready to work through them. He expects to have children and looks forward to raising a family.
: That said, he ended up infatuated with the mysterious Miqo'te, Aiko Slanda, who appeared early in his journey away from home. While she doesn't seem to fit his ideals at all, he nonetheless fell for her, knowing that as much as she needed the stability he was sure he could provide, but that she might hold a key to pushing him forward as a person, and to experience life to its fullest.

=Abilities/Skills=
===Abilities/Skills===
Logan is trained mostly in the combat style of Gladiators and Paladins, though he knows a little of conjury from Jen, and has some skill as a Dragoon as well.

=== '''''Weapons''''' ===
: ■ Aettir, Holy Shield

=== '''''Magic''''' ===
Logan knows what magic was taught to him through his Paladin Soul Crystal, as well as some simple conjury and healing ability from his cousin, Jen.

=== '''''Crafting''''' ===
Logan has some simple crafting ability in the disciplines of weaving and carpentry, just enough to mend simple damage to such items, as he often assisted in the repair of items required for the family fishing business.

=Background=

===Childhood (Age 0-15)===
By the time Logan and Cherise were born, his parents were already set up in Moraby Bay. He knew little else for many years, aside from the Red Rooster Stead to the north, where his grandparents on his father's side live. His mother stayed at home and watched the twins for the first few years, until they were old enough to join their father on his fishing trips - under heavy watch. As they continued to grow, they began to assist with increasingly larger tasks with the fishing business until they were nearly full fledged members of the business, and were able to accompany their father to trips into Limsa Lominsa.

===The Calamity (Age 15-18)===
Things were tense for the year leading up the Calamity, business was shaky with the threat of the Garlean invasion, people were nervous, and though Logan and Cherise were mostly removed from much of it, even they knew things weren't right. Life became not quite as routine as it used to be, things were harder, and their parents were often stressed. Things weren't looking great, and then the moon fell. The sight had bothered Logan for weeks, knowing it was getting closer, and not knowing what that meant. The day it cracked open, and with the Garleans attacking in full force, Logan found himself huddled together with his family in their home, praying to the Twelve that they would make it out alive. All Logan ever saw from Dalamud or Bahamut was the flashes of flame, and the roars of debris and primal dragon alike. It was an experience he would never forget.

===The Call (Age 18)===
Things got better after the Calamity. It took a lot of work, but despite being separate from the mainland, work immediately set out on a bridge to reconnect the God's Grip to the rest of La Noscea. While Moraby Bay had taken damage, both the Holden household and the fishing ship that his father used, were perfectly intact. Business was kicked back up, and there was much work to do between fixing up the ports and building the bridge. It was hard, but different from when the Garleans were pressuring the Eorzean borders. Soon five years had gone by, and Logan had barely noticed. He now accompanied his father and sister nearly every day onto their fishing expeditions, along with the crew. But he began to have strange dreams, those of him becoming a great warrior brandishing a sword and shield, fighting against a dark cloaked figure, spurred on by an aetherial voice. It soon became obvious enough that it was a calling, not a dream, and with his parents' blessing and his sister's company, set out to Ul'dah to become a gladiator and adventurer.

===The Warrior of Light (Age 18-19)===
At first it was strange, hot, and uncomfortable to be so far away from home. Many times Logan thought it better to just go home, not thinking he was cut out for this, but knowing that his sister was acclimating well kept him in place. Eventually he ran across a strange purple-haired Miqo'te who dragged him around Thanalan every so often pleading assistance Logan didn't think she really needed. After a while, Logan finally started finding his place as a Gladiator and Adventurer both, finding pleasure in helping those that needed it. His kindness and honesty gave him an opening for helping a man named Papashan, who asked his help in locating an Ul'dahn noble that had gone missing. With Cherise's help they found her, as well as a voidsent monster - their first true test as fighters up to that point - and a mysterious man who appeared to help that also seemed to know the noble. Left behind was a strange crystal, and upon picking it up, Logan got a new vision of the voice from his dreams, of a gigantic crystal that seemed to be the source, who called herself Hydaelyn, and seemed to be something of a deity. After this, Logan also began to get visions of the past, triggered by means unknown, but always centered on a person or event that was being discussed. These visions left a strong impact on Logan, often causing him to need some time afterwards to recover, finding the emotions displayed within extremely strong and leaving a memory ingrained into his mind that did not fade over time.

Things escalated from there, with more mysterious events occurring and stronger monsters appearing. Eventually Logan and Cherise came face-to-face with the robed figure from Logan's dreams, and again with the stranger's help, fended him off. During a celebration of the battle that was won, Logan was given a vision of Calamity from the perspective of the Grand Company leaders, and the sight of Dalamud descending so close, and of Bahamut bursting forth found itself to be too strong of a sight for him, and he passed out on the spot. Despite the incident, Logan and Cherise's reputation as adventurers only grew, and soon they were ferried off to the other city states and their lands to help with other matters, all of which continued to test their strength.

After dealing with a few notable dangerous jobs from the Adventurer's Guild, Logan and Cherise were offered to join an organization known as the Scions of the Seventh Dawn by the previously unknown stranger who had introduced himself as Thancred. He also implied he knew something about the visions Logan was getting, and that they knew someone who had the same power. Considering his visions had been the entire reason they left home, they saw no reason not to follow up on this lead. They joined, and in doing so eventually came to find that the Amalj'aa were kidnapping people and collecting crystals. During their investigation, during which Aiko reappeared and joined them, found they were betrayed and ambushed by the Amalj'aa. Cherise was badly wounded and left for dead, Logan's last sight of her being crumpled against a wall bleeding before they knocked him out. When he awoke, he was bound and told they were to be presented to their god, Ifrit, for judgement. Logan and Aiko weren't alone, finding a few notable others, including their betrayer, also bound. Logan merely went along with things, his spirit broken, thinking his twin sister dead. However when he, Aiko - who finally awoke - and a few of the others found themselves immune to Ifrit's tempering, found an opportunity to fight back. Drawing his sword and shield for nothing but the defense of the others, Logan helped to defeat the primal, and was rewarded with backup from the Scions, led by his sister, very much alive.

They continued assisting the Scions, investigating further primal threats and tracking down the robed figures that were identified as Ascians, an ancient, evil group of beings, and the ones teaching the beast tribes how to summon their gods as primals. As things escalated, Logan and the other Echo-blessed warriors came together to battle a new primal threat, Titan. A few of these warriors had been working closely with him, specifically Aiko Slanda, who continued to stick around, an amnesiac with penchant for lost, powerful magic, and coming upon the skill of summoning; M'zikuh Rhaba, a Miqo'te with a talent for archery; Mercer Vitali, A Ninja who spent most of his time alone, but always willing to help when needed; and Celeste, an Au Ra with healing skills. They battled Titan, but before victory could be celebrated, found that their home, the Waking Sands, had been attacked by the Garleans, and the residents slain or captured. A particularly vivid Echo vision showed them all the result, and while no one was overly happy about it, they used the message given to them in their vision to retreat to the cathedral outside Camp Drybone. Logan drew into himself during this, the pure terror, pain, and sadness of the event affecting him greatly. He finally managed to shake it off by forcing himself to assist the priests with their tasks, but could not join the others in collecting the bodies of their fallen Scions, as the memory of the Echo vision was debilitating.

Logan spent most of their time at the cathedral debating about this Echo "blessing" and wondering why exactly he was the one chosen, and why he - a simple fisherman's son - was now suddenly at the head of a fight to defend Eorzea. He began to doubt himself heavily, unsure if he should even bother staying. He also had a curious feeling about the man known as Marques. He seemed to know things about the man, such as his ability to fix nearly any device given to him, but he did not know why. Finally, fed up with his moping, Cherise talked some sense into her brother, noting how demoralized the rest of their group was as well, stating that without something to refocus them, it was all going to fall apart, and the deaths of the Scions would be for naught. Logan agreed, and just then Alphinaud appeared and confirmed a new primal threat was rising from the Ixal, and their goddess Garuda. Alphinaud also identified the mysterious priest Marques as Cid Garlond, his memories lost after witnessing the traumatic events of the Calamity first hand. Logan was strangely unsurprised, despite not knowing the name at all, and immediately felt he could trust the man, though couldn't place why. With these revelations however, Logan began to formulate a plan. He went back to his group and announced he was forming a Free Company under the name of Awoken Wanderers, that no matter the state of the Scions or anything else, they would find a way to help, and then presented them with the long missing inventor and the new threat, and their plan to continue moving forward.

They defeated Garuda but encountered a new threat from the Garleans, a large mechanic monster known as Ultima, that absorbed Garuda, Titan and Ifrit's power. The Wanderers were forced to retreat, and found that the only way forward would be to retake the Waking Sands. Logan found it initially difficult, but after encountering the Scions that had been missing in the Echo vision, was relieved to find not all had perished or been taken. Bolstered by their further strength, but knowing that smaller steps had to be taken if they were to prevent the Garleans new plan, they began to mount a rescue of the still captured Scions. This ended up being a success, though a previously thought defeated Ascian had taken control of Thancred's body, leaving the Scions a man short. Despite this revelation, they knew what they had to do and managed to rally the Grand Companies of Eorzea and set up a plan to take the fight to the Garleans. They were to create an opening for the Echo-blessed warriors to get inside the main Castrum of the local Garlean forces, fight Ultima, and prevent it from destroying Eorzea. After a drawn out set of battles, against multiple high ranking Garlean officers, Ultima itself, and then finally the possessed Thancred, and with much assistance from the blessing of Hydaelyn, they finally succeeded, Logan and the others escaping at the last moment. With this success came the announcement that they had passed into a new Astral Era, and Logan and the other Echo-blessed warriors were officially given the title of Warriors of Light.

===Before the Fall (Age 19-20)===
Though the worst of the Garlean Empire had been staved off, they continued to threaten Eorzea, as did the beast tribes and their attempts to summon primals. Logan, the Wanderers, and the Scions all continue assisting the realm as best they can, helping them move from the somewhat politically charged location of Thanalan to the more neutral territory of Mor Dhona. Here, at the outpost known as Revenant's Toll, they set up the Rising Stones as a new headquarters. During the relative peace, many of the Wanderers go back to their normal lives, at least those that can. Logan continues working with the Scions closely, avoiding all questions about why he doesn't at least visit home.

At the same time, Alisaie, Alphinaud's twin sister, comes forward with a concern about Castrum Occidens and their research on a piece of Dalamud. Upon investigating, they found a deeply buried Allagan ship, and mysteries surrounding the Calamity itself. At its deepest point, the group however is surprised when they come across a regenerating Bahamut, and the sight of the creature causes Logan to pass out due to his own childhood trauma of the Calamity, coupled with Lusiel's lingering terror of being at the epicenter of Bahamut's awakening five years ago.

Soon, the Domans arrive and Logan finds an easy excuse to stay busy. Things don't work out for long however, as eventually a new primal threat, Leviathan, arises. In their effort to find a way to battle the new primal, Logan and the Warriors of Light end up back in Moraby Bay regardless. Logan expresses obvious awkwardness in being back home, and as the Warriors are gathered to finally go off and battle Leviathan, they soon understand why. His parents recognize him, and display shock and concern over the fact that Logan is, in fact, one of the Warriors of Light, and not simply an adventurer as his letters, which he had sent regularly to assure his parents that he and his sister were still alive, had implied. He has little time to deal with it however, as Leviathan is already on the move, and so awkwardly he says farewell but assuring his parents that he will explain more when he returns.

While his parents seem understanding enough, they are greatly worried, and the other Wanderers being to hear talk of people around Moraby Bay being upset at Logan's sudden reappearance as a Warrior of Light. It comes to a head when Logan is called out in public for not helping the still struggling bay area, since he's got all this power and fame now. Found scorned by his own home, but without wanting it to impact his family, Logan insists his parents publicly cast him out, but promises he'll try to visit when things quiet down, and he can sneak in more anonymously.

More events continue over the intervening months, Ramuh is summoned and bested, Alphinaud creates the Crystal Braves in an attempt to give the Scions more ability to assist across the realm, a group that Logan eagerly assists, finding it to be a wonderful idea. Ishgardian heretics become more prevalent, causing an official investigation into their leader, Iceheart. A Garlean spy is uncovered and tracked down with the help of the Braves and the Doman shinobi. An old friend of Minfilia's and a fellow Sharlyan scholar, Moenbryda arrives to

As if like tumbling dominoes, another new primal threat rears it's head in the form of Ramuh, with the touched Sylphs bringing him to life. Ramuh however agrees to leave peacefully, should the Warriors pass his test, which they do. After this event, Alphinaud decides that yet another organization may help split the load of the problems facing Eorzea off the Scions, leaving them to focus on their specialty of primal slaying. Logan agrees to assist in the creation of this new group, known as the Crystal Braves and eagerly gets to work. Recruitment, however, is slow, and yet another problem appears in the form of a group of injured adventurers, ambushed by Ishgardian heretics. Investigating the matter leads Logan and the Warriors and Wanderers to their leader, Iceheart, who seems to be making a newly concentrated push against Ishgard.

Alphinaud finally gathers enough men to initiate the Crystal Braves, and the group hits the ground running. New recruits pile in, but soon a traitor to Eorzea is evident, a Garlean spy, and Logan begins to assist in finding her and ridding the Garleans of their spy. Working with the Domans, Logan and the others chase after this spy, soon identified as Raubahn's second-in-command, and eventually catch her in the act of communicating with her Garlean contacts. Shortly after, Minfilia claims to have found a way into Iceheart's sanctuary, but requires the assistance of her friend, Moenbryda, another Sharlyan scholar. With her help, they manage to infiltrate Iceheart's domain and, to their shock, find she is possessed of the power to transform into the primal Shiva. After a hard fought battle, Iceheart escapes, leaving Logan reeling with three words: "Hear, feel, think".

He has little time to dwell on those words however, as Alphinaud finds himself unable to let things lay as they are, insisting that he is able to continue growing the Scions and the Braves to assist the realm. In this capacity, Logan finds himself helping to track down illegally sold weapons, but things quickly don't seem right. Suspicious actions put Logan in a state of unease, but he's unable to place exactly where or what is causing it. At the same time, research into a way to defeat the Ascians is progressing well, with Moenbryda finding a way to use auracite to turn aether into a weapon that could be used to permanently slay an Ascian.

===Family===

: ■●Sheryl Holden, (Mother)

::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">Logan's Thoughts: TBA</div>
:::: Logan's mother was an adventurer once upon a time, though even after deciding to settle down, found a simple life wasn't quite for her, so she works as a Yellowjacket, helping to guard and keep safe the dwellers of La Noscea. She's very pleasant, and has a much keener sense of humour than her husband.

: ■●Daniel Holden, (Father)

::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">Logan's Thoughts: TBA</div>
:::: Logan's father, through means unknown to the boy still, found himself in a partnership with a small ship's captain, and his first mate. Together they sail the seas off the shores of Lower La Noscea fishing up all they can manage in a day, day after day. He's generally a serious looking person, but get on his good side and he'll always have your back. He's extremely intelligent.

: ■●Cherise Holden, (Fraternal Twin Sister)

::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">Logan's Thoughts: TBA</div>
:::: Jennifer grew up in Gridania, away from Logan and his side of the family, so they only know each other by a few letters and one meeting from when they were children. Still, he finds her to be a great supporter of both him and his work, and admires her ability to speak so casually with just about anyone and get on their good side. He's extremely happy he's been able to get to know her more since leaving home.

: ♥Aiko Slanda, (Girlfriend)
:: 
::: 
:::: An Arcanist Logan found while wandering Thanalan, she quickly saw his use in all manner of activities around the region, particularly his "willingness" to distract monsters while she either fought them or went about other business. As he was friendly enough, she began to follow him about as he trained as a gladiator, until she found herself swept up in events after being taken alongside him to Ifrit to be tempered. After this she seemed to stick around, and while she often scared Logan as much as anything else, he found her a comfort, especially in that she didn't seem to judge him overly much, and proved a wonderful distraction when things started becoming difficult and discouraging. It didn't take long for him to develop feelings for her, but was warned early that she may not be one to accept such an admission. So he held off saying anything at all to her about this for years, in fear that she might instead run away and never be seen again.

:::: However, after fleeing to Ishgard, Logan found Aiko had disappeared overnight without a word. His worst fear already come true, he abandoned the Scions with word he was going to retrieve her and bring her back, no matter what it took. Not everyone was overly accepting of this, but none convinced him to stay. He spent the next few weeks searching. When he finally found her in a cave not far from the goblin settlement where they had felled a dragon not long into their time with the Scions. Logan revealed then and there that he had feelings for Aiko, since she had already run off, there seemed to be little downside to the admission. To his surprise, she accepted it, and agreed to return to Ishgard with him. Despite the admission, little changed in their relationship, though with the distraction of their newfound fight in Ishgard, it was unsurprising. It was discouraging to Logan however, as he now no longer knew what to to do next, and it seemed as though Aiko had simply returned to their normal way of doing things, and maybe hadn't taken his admission seriously. After a word with Tataru however, who had absolutely noticed a change in Aiko's mood and behaviour, and had not known about the admission beforehand, assured Logan that must've been the difference.

:::: Despite this information Logan had little time to formulate a relationship plan, so it wasn't until shortly after returning from defeating the primal of King Thordan that he officially asked Aiko to openly be in a relationship. Again, somewhat to his surprise, she agreed. Since then, things have continued mostly as usual, but Logan is very happy knowing that she has agreed to stay with him.

: ●M'zikuh Rhaba
:: 
::: 
:::: One of Logan's oldest adventuring friends, and a fellow Warrior of Light and member of Awoken Wanderers

: ●[[William Fedorason]]
:: 
::: 
:::: A fellow Warrior of Light, and one of Logan's good friends, leader of his own Free Company.

: ●Sugis Kevade
:: 
::: 
:::: Someone who enjoys torturing Logan almost as much as Aiko, but very willingly helps to distract him from the stresses of being a Warrior of Light, since she works very closely with Will, as well as being a member of his Free Company.

:'''Logan Holden''' is a Warrior of Light hailing from Moraby Bay, where he grew up with a fisherman father and a Yellowjacket mother, alongside his fraternal twin Cherise. He left home after a series of dreams began to press themselves into his mind, including while he was wide awake. His sister decided to join him, and together the pair left for Ul'dah. From there he learned to fight while being a member of the Gladiator's Guild, and his eagerness to assist any who needed it was a valuable asset as a member of the Adventurer's Guild, and eventually he was given the offer to join the Scions of the Seventh Dawn. After joining, he ended up captured and facing tempering by the Amalj'aa primal, Ifrit, but found himself immune. Since then he's grown as a warrior, and began leading a small group of Scions, later forming the Free Company Awoken Wanderers with them, and becoming known as a Warrior of Light.

:Unknown to Logan, his early skill with fighting, his aetherpool, and connection to Hydaelyn comes from the soul of a Warrior of Light that was lost and otherwise forgotten after Bahamut released his barrage against Eorzea, an Elezen known as Lusiel Coydan. While they have no direct connection, Logan has become aware of her presence, and often does she manage to send him small amounts of knowledge or feelings about people or places she's seen. He also has a heavy empathetic connection to his Echo visions, and can acutely feel the emotions of those he sees in his visions. He never forgets them, and should he dwell on them too much, they will return in full force, which is something he often has to guard against.





==Free Company: Awoken Wanderers==
: The Awoken Wanderers were formed by Logan and his group of adventuring friends to create a home for both them, and give them a banner under which to go by when not acting within the confines of the Scions of the Seventh Dawn. It's main goal is to help assist and train adventurers, helping them learn the dangers of adventuring and how to get ahead in the Adventurer's Guild.

==Logan's Typical Inventory==
'''Last updated:''' N/A
: - Items

=Appearance=
[[File:Logan holden causal.png|right|350px]]
'''Height:''' 5 fulms 11 ilms

'''Weight:''' 186 ponz

'''Complexion: ''' Fair.

'''Hair: ''' Dark brown.

'''Eyes: ''' Dark brown.

: Logan's just above average height, with wide shoulders, and lots of muscle from hefting around his armour and shield, as well as putting them to use quite often. You'd be hard pressed to see them, aside from those on his arms, but Logan's covered in many small scrapes and scars from his many battles, though nothing that hasn't been able to be healed up for the most part. His hair is thick and soft, his eyes watchful, and his face looking like he's either very focused or a little upset, unless he's actively trying to look happy.

=Behavior=
=== '''''Behavior''''' ===
: Logan does his best to always be respectful of others upon meeting them, and generally stays quiet and lets them talk, until he's required to speak. When he is, he tends to answer in the shortest form possible, and often stammers through words until he can get a feel of the person and the conversation.
: When with people he trusts and feels comfortable with, he's far more open and enjoys telling jokes, stories, and listening to others. Even still, you'll often find him on his own, or to one side, as being around a lot of people can make him uncomfortable after long periods of time. He enjoys his quieter time to himself quite a bit.
: Logan is incredibly hard to make angry, though he may feign annoyance and frustration to give what he assumes is the desired reaction from a joke. He always makes sure you know when he's serious, and he hopes he'll get your attention as much as he'd give you his.
: The only time you'll see Logan honestly upset or angry is towards those who don't understand how to take care of others, or those who have betrayed or hurt people. He has little tolerance for the evils of the world, and holds fast to the phrase "do unto others as you would have them do unto you".
: If possible, Logan will prevent the death of any intelligent being, from the Elezen of Isghard to the Kobolds of La Noscea, putting his shield and sword pommel to good use. He does, however, accept that Eorzea is embroiled in violent conflicts, and that peaceful solutions are not always possible, and is willing to kill if necessary.

=== '''''Fears''''' ===
: ■ Ever since the Calamity, Logan's been scared of dragons. After being introduced to the more peaceful side of dragons in Dravania, his fear has lessened, but they can still make him heavily uneasy.
: ■ Being in a leadership position among his friends and even Eorzea, he's terrified of failure and letting down those who hold him to such a high standard.

===Preferences===
: Logan's ideal is someone who's willing to trust him, and open themselves to the same trust. Someone who's willing to work with him to create a solid relationship, knowing they'll have problems, but ready to work through them. He expects to have children and looks forward to raising a family.
: That said, he ended up infatuated with the mysterious Miqo'te, Aiko Slanda, who appeared early in his journey away from home. While she doesn't seem to fit his ideals at all, he nonetheless fell for her, knowing that as much as she needed the stability he was sure he could provide, but that she might hold a key to pushing him forward as a person, and to experience life to its fullest.

Logan is trained mostly in the combat style of Gladiators and Paladins, though he knows a little of conjury from Jen, and has some skill as a Dragoon as well.

=== '''''Weapons''''' ===
: ■ Aettir, Holy Shield

=== '''''Magic''''' ===
Logan knows what magic was taught to him through his Paladin Soul Crystal, as well as some simple conjury and healing ability from his cousin, Jen.

=== '''''Crafting''''' ===
Logan has some simple crafting ability in the disciplines of weaving and carpentry, just enough to mend simple damage to such items, as he often assisted in the repair of items required for the family fishing business.

===Family===

: ■✖Athilda Chambers née Arrowe, (Mother)
:: [[File:Athilda_Chambers.jpg|right|250px|Athilda Chambers]]
::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "My mother is my true inspiration to why I remain healing. It's what she would have wanted.."</div>
:::: Athilda was born in the streets of Ul'Dah, not knowing her true family. She would be a thief in order to get a meal, occasionaly stealing from the marketplace. One day, the grocer took notice of her actions and let the game continue for a while until she confronted her. Athilda, being scared of being arrested, attempted to run, yet was caught immediately. The grocer caught her by the Weavers' Guild and inquired about her life. She told her that she had no home, no family, and no food. Without a second thought, the grocer took her in and raised her. The grocer's name was Petra Arrowe. As she grew older, Athilda, moved to the Shroud to make a name for herself. She thanked her foster mother for everything she's done for her and stayed in touch.
::::Before her marriage to William's father, she gave birth to Roderick, William's oldest brother, yet she was rather promiscuous during her twenties, so Roderick's biological father is unknown but assumed to be a Gods' Quiver archer. Having changed her ways, she found Solmunder eight years later and fell in love and married. They had their first son together Piers and then nine years later their second son William. Athilda lived her life as conjurer for the Twin Adders. Both she and Solmunder were fighting with the Grand Companies at Cartenau against the Garlean menace before the Calamity struck. Solmunder fought valiantly and took many Garlean lives with Athilda alongside him. As they were taking out the enemy, Athilda was caught blindsided and was slew by an Imperial Laquearius. Solmunder was filled with rage and pierced the Laquearius through its heart. Solmunder survived the battle and returned home to his children after the Calamity struck and informed them of the tragic news. William took it hardest of all. Only being twelve at the time of this calamity, he was really close to his mother and she would show him conjury tricks. Whenever William heals for his party, he always thinks of his mother guiding him through to victory..

: ■Solmunder Chambers, (Father)
:: [[File:Solmunder_Chambers.jpg|right|250px|Solmunder Chambers]]
::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "My father would never let any bad situation ruin his sense of humor!"</div>
:::: Solmunder Chambers came from a terrible household in Limsa Lominsa. He was born to a family of vile pirates known as the Chamberlain Crew. He was forced to partake in villainous crimes if he was to get a meal and bed each day. When he became eighteen years of age, he mustered the courage to hitch a ship to Aldenard without saying one word to his family. He arrived in Vesper Bay and changed his name to Chambers, for slight differentiation from his family. He trekked to the Shroud in hopes to learn either archery or lancing; upon his arrival to Gridania, he learned the latter. He became skilled quickly enough for one of the Wood Wailers to take notice and suggest him to be a private among them. For many years he was an esteemed Wood Wailer and caught the eye of a fan, Athilda. They met at the Carline Canopy when Solmunder was off duty and Athilda noticed him. She approached him commending him for his valor in protecting the Shroud and immediately hit it off. They would always make jokes with each other with Solmunder always cracking horrible puns, yet Athilda laughed anyways. Athilda's nickname for Solmunder was "Sully" and although he wasn't too fond of it, it did not bother him either way; His nickname for her was Thillie and she liked it. They worked together roaming the Shroud, vanquishing any threat to Gridania with Athilda supporting Sully as he fought head-on.

:::: After the passing of his wife, Solmunder tried to keep his joy alive by providing for their children. Sully was only in his early forties yet became weak at holding his lance for long. Roderick, who was proficient at archery, joined the Gods' Bow to provide coin for the family. Sully, being grateful for Rod's generosity, officially retired his lance and stayed at home to tend to the family crops. William loved his father dearly and would always assist him when Sully is unable to move around. William talked to his father about leaving to provide even more for his family. William even mentioned desiring to change his surname to became notable for his own deeds, not his father's. Solmunder was quite the opposite of being disappointed and gave William a big hug and told him he was proud of that decision and mentioned his own story of coming to Aldenard. To this day, William provides 45 percent of his earnings to his family and visits home every now and then. His father is his inspiration for whenever William cracks a silly pun and would think of him every time he does.
: ■♦Piers Chambers, (Brother)
:: [[File:Piers_Chambers.jpg|right|250px|Piers Chambers]]
::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "Piers and I never really saw eye to eye. He always tried to rival me in archery, even when his accuracy was low.."</div>
:::: Piers is the middle child in the Chambers' family and felt he was only treated as such. He felt so much praise until William was born, and from then on he tended to resent him. William tried to show his love for his brother, but was never noticed. So he simply gave up and did not care for him. When their mother was killed in battle, there was even more disgust between the brothers. Piers always thought their mother favored William over him and he was filled with anger. Soon after, Piers left for Limsa Lominsa to get away from the family for a while. He had hoped his excile will cure his anger. In the meantime, Roderick taught William archery and became a prodigy at it. A few years passed and Piers returned home having made minor success and lost it all when he fell for a Miqo'te courtesan. He thought she truly loved him so he gave her a home in the Mist for them to live together. However, she mooched off gil after gil until she had the deed of the house and kicked him out for an Auri girl. He had but no choice to return home.

:::: Upon his return to Hyrstmill, he had noticed that the family had moved out of the hamlet and into a house in the Lavender Beds. When he found where the family was living at, he noticed William practicing archery in the yard with a target. He noticed William hit a bullseye with each shot. Piers did not like how William was better at archery than he and this refueled his anger. For the years to follow, they would pointlessly compete at archery. During one of these competitions, Piers blew a gasket and accused William of cheating everytime. William, unable to keep his cool, was about to make a shot at the target and turned to tell off Piers, but the arrow was released. The arrow flew and pierced Piers in the eye. Piers, writhing in pain screamed out obscenities toward William. William, knowing the conjury spell Cure, could have healed Piers if done immediately, but ran in fear. He came back home that night attempting to cure Piers' pain. The pain was gone, but Piers could never see in his left eye again. To this day, Piers is somewhere in Ul'Dah with his exact whereabouts unknown. William would once in a while recieve death threats from an anonymous sender, yet he could always recognize Piers' penmanship.
: ■Roderick Arrowe, (Half-Brother)
:: [[File:Roderick_Arrowe.jpg|right|250px|Roderick Arrowe]]
::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "Rod has always been a wonderful teacher in archery! We both show each other new tricks from time to time!"</div>
:::: Rod grew up never knowing who his real father was, as his mother was promiscuous when he was conceived.

=Prompts=
==F.A.Q.'s==
: ■ Does your character have siblings or family members in their age group? Which one are they closest with?
:: William’s two siblings have a big age gap from William, with Piers being 9 years older and Rod being 17 years older. William is not remotely close to Piers any way. They have had too much bad blood over the years. Rod however remains very close to William, as he first taught him archery as he became a novice. Any other relatives are unknown as his father came from a family of pirates and his mother grew up in the streets of Ul’Dah.
: ■ What is/was your character’s relationship with their mother like?
:: While she was still alive, she would always tell William stories of her adventures with his father each night as a child. William loved his mother dearly such that she is the true reason he kept healing. She taught him the basic heal Cure as a child. There were several instances where he became so flustered, he considered retiring his codex. Yet he remembered his mother would never give up in the heat of battle, so neither should he.
: ■ What is/was your character’s relationship with their father like?
:: His relationship to his father is quite as loving as his relationship to his mother! Before Rod was actually teaching William archery, it was his father who gave him his first bow and arrow set. Even thouch his father was adept lancing, he had knew archery as well. When he presented William his own set, at roughly nine years old, his father demonstrated archery to him by taking three arrows from a quiver, placing each in his bow, and accurately shot the bullseye! William’s face was filled with awe and his love for archery began. His father’s jokes also rubbed off onto William, which eventually became everyone else’s misfortune. Every cracked pun blossomed from the sole purpose to simply make everyone happy, as his father made him.
: ■ Has your character ever witnessed something that fundamentally changed them? If so, does anyone else know?
:: A year into William’s travels, having been months since he became a Warrior of Light, he was assisting the historical scholars of NOAH with emergence of the Crystal Tower. William was mainly a user of white magic and was hesitant to pick up a new skill at the time. He was tasked with preventing the realm becoming a World of Darkness. There was another healer in his group, one whose techniques differed from his own. He had not seen a healer perform abilities like these before. In duty, William took notice that their Warrior was taking too much damage at a point for William to replenish health quick enough. The Warrior got weak enough to the point where William was forced to grant him Benediction. The other healer managed to take over the main healing and was granting him aetheric shields to nullify incoming damage. William was astounded to see such a trick done in battle. After the duty was complete, he asked the other healer in the group where he learned such skills; he told him to find Alka Zolka and ask her the ways of the Nymian Scholar. Henceforth, he dedicated his following days studying the abilities of a Scholar in battle and became an adept Scholar under the great Nymian Scholar Surito Carito.
: ■ On an average day, what can be found in your character’s pockets?
:: Usually pocket lint.
: ■ What does your OC look for in a friend? Do they value friendship a lot?
:: What William finds for in a friend is someone who he is able to put his trust into, someone who he knows respects him as he to them, and someone who can put up with all of his dang shenanigans! Does he value friendship? Are chocobo couriers actually yellow chocobos splathered with tar? Yes! Friendship means everything to William and never wants to sever ties with someone he has grown see as a friend.
: ■ Is there a place they go to in order to escape the world, the stresses of life? What’s their favourite place?
:: Whenever William feels stressed from either a poor dungeon dive or surrounded by plenty of drama, he either resides within the study of his home to review over past tomes or journeys to Tailfeather to surround himself with the chocobos within their natural habitat. Either resolution renders William at peace.
: ■ What are concepts they value? Virtues? What do they look down upon?
:: William values the safety of his friends at all times within a duty. Whether he chooses to be the designated healer or a bard, he refuses to allow his party to fail, or even perish. He also values his friends above all else. As his virtues, William selects loyalty, as in to each other, and family, as in he places his family above everything else, whether it be his blood family or his friends who he looks to as a family. William looks down upon a betrayal of trust. He finds it very hard to mend broken ties, yet can turn the other cheek if necessary.
: ■Do they have a guilty conscience? Why? Did they ever do something they totally regretted?
:: William is as innocent as he’s going to get. He totally does not enact shenanigans in public as the Chocobo. What if he was the Chocobo? He would not regret it one bit. He finds it hilarious to be stared at when he conducts his weekly foray into Issom-Har in his chocobo suit. However the most shenanigans he would openly admit to would be shuffling up Sugis’ books. Yet he really needs to learn to conduct his prank while she isn’t home..
: ■ What are Tropes you associate with your muse?
:: ● Bookworm since he studies old tomes he’s collected from the Gubal Library during some of Sugis’ forays, yet while he does not have a collection of tomes to amount Sugis’, his collection sums to an estimate of sixty.
:: ● a literal Scholar, while that may be preferred healing job in duties, he tends to overly study past civilizations. He has recently taken an interest in the War of the Magi and regularly conducts expeditions to the Yafaem saltmoors for Mhach and the Wanderer’s Palace to communicate with the tonberries of Nym, if he manages to find a sane tonberry.
:: ● Chocobo.
: ■ If given a million dollars, what would your OC do?
:: “Dollars? Is that a currency? The only common currency used across Eorzea is gil, so I’ll assume the question will refer to gil.”
:: William upon given a million gil will immediately donate a quarter to his family for however his father seems fit, a quarter to his free company to fund their move from their current base of a cottage in the Lavender Beds into a mansion of appealing scenary, a quarter to the Adventurer’s Guild for showing how even a Warrior of Light can make his start with them, and the remaining quarter for himself for various luxuries for his private house (totally not decorating it fully in chocobo decor).
==Other O.C.'s Relationships==
===Sugis Kevade===
: ■"Rumor has it that William deals in shady blackmarket business what with multiplw people seeing him go into the Kevade Mansion so often...."
:: While that may appear so, his business at the mansion is strictly personal! He considers the “Void” officers friends! While Suvi is verbally annoyed by his jokes, William notices a smirk followed by disbelief upon his face. On occasion, he may give business advice, as he runs his free company. While he stays out of specific business details, he cares not for whatever “shady” business is conducted, yet refuses to get involved in actual dealings. Although on one instance, he proposed that Suvi hire William’s older brother to do some secretarial work.
: William's memories of Sugis
:: ⭐️ One memory of William remembers is the day they first met in a duty to clear the first hall of Dzemael Darkhold. William on occasion tells Sugis how he both regrets and is grateful for that encounter.
:: ⭐️ No matter what’s happening, whether it be a dangerous raid or utter nonsense, William and Sugis will not hesitate to be sarcastic and sassy to each other.
:: ⭐️ William will not step one foot inside Sugis’ house. He once did and he was frightened by the sheer number of books in her house. Her house would put the Gubal Library out of business.
:: ⭐️ How many puns does it take for William to get on Sugis’s nerves. A skele-ton. She’d punish him, but that in itself would be helping his situation.
: Sugis' memories of William
:: ⭐️ Despite a slight age gap, and the fact that Will is /technically an adult/ Sugis still treats him like a child when it comes to his safety.
:: ⭐️ Sugis quit drinking due to something that happened involving dungeon crawling, Will pressuring a drunken Ishgardian Dragoon to “Do It”, and multiple Gas Bombs.
:: ⭐️ She likes to tease him, lightheartedly, about girls and when he’s gonna start dating to fluster him.
:: ⭐️ If there was a gil for every time she shouted “You’re grounded” to Will… She’d probably be rich(er).
:: ⭐️ Sugis takes the more serious marks for hunts and mercenary related stuff because she doesn’t want to see Will get hurt.
===Riaa Alteir===
: Riaa's memories of William
:: ⭐️ Riaa thinks that William is quite silly, but she appreciates it. Most people are too serious so it’s a nice change. She especially likes the OH JEEZ
:: ⭐️ to the point now where Riaa gleefully joins in on the OH JEEZ as well. She isn’t too bothered if it’s bugging anybody, but she’s definately having fun with it, and figures if SHE’S having fun with it then William must also be having fun too and YAY FUN.
:: ⭐️ She likes his hat. Not any specific one, just all of them. (Riaa really likes the chocobo head though, she thinks it’s hilarious.)
:: ⭐️ (Weed-Lizard) After the pixie stix incident, Mariko is worried about the purity of her candy, and as such double-triple checks that it’s not got anything else in. She’s also a bit worried that William managed to get tweaked out like that. On candy. How even…?
===Darius Kinkaid===
: Darius' memories of William
:: ⭐️ Darius knows about William through his subordinate, Ringabel [Sugis]. He’s heard nothing but good things, but is convinced William lives in a constant state of thinking everyone is going to die in an instant.
:: ⭐️ Darius also believes William was a chocobo in a past life.
:: ⭐️ When they first met, them two didn’t speak much outside of momentary jokes and the like, but they both soon found out they both read stories about a fictional group of heroes. The first book in question? “Red Helm and the Vandals.” There are other books, but William is convinced Darius idolizes this “Red Helm” character. He’s not absolutely wrong.
:: ⭐️ Since finding out about his sister, Darius has attended every small party William and his Free Company has thrown. The scholar in question is the only person who knows Darius disguises himself as an entertainer in a Vanu Vanu outfit.
:: ⭐️ William is constantly forgetting who Darius is, claiming he had seen him before in outlandish roles and places. It is unknown if William just does this to try and get inside Darius’s head or if it’s honestly forgetfulness.
:: ⭐️ Darius and William finally became friends when a mishap occurred while questing. They both had said “Oh Jeez” at the same time, rendering odd looks from both parties.

:'''Logan Holden''' is a Warrior of Light hailing from Moraby Bay, where he grew up with a fisherman father and a Yellowjacket mother, alongside his fraternal twin Cherise. He left home after a series of dreams began to press themselves into his mind, including while he was wide awake. His sister decided to join him, and together the pair left for Ul'dah. From there he learned to fight while being a member of the Gladiator's Guild, and his eagerness to assist any who needed it was a valuable asset as a member of the Adventurer's Guild, and eventually he was given the offer to join the Scions of the Seventh Dawn. After joining, he ended up captured and facing tempering by the Amalj'aa primal, Ifrit, but found himself immune. Since then he's grown as a warrior, and began leading a small group of Scions, later forming the Free Company Awoken Wanderers with them, and becoming known as a Warrior of Light.

:Unknown to Logan, his early skill with fighting, his aetherpool, and connection to Hydaelyn comes from the soul of a Warrior of Light that was lost and otherwise forgotten after Bahamut released his barrage against Eorzea, an Elezen known as Lusiel Coydan. While they have no direct connection, Logan has become aware of her presence, and often does she manage to send him small amounts of knowledge or feelings about people or places she's seen. He also has a heavy empathetic connection to his Echo visions, and can acutely feel the emotions of those he sees in his visions. He never forgets them, and should he dwell on them too much, they will return in full force, which is something he often has to guard against.





==Free Company: Awoken Wanderers==
: The Awoken Wanderers were formed by Logan and his group of adventuring friends to create a home for both them, and give them a banner under which to go by when not acting within the confines of the Scions of the Seventh Dawn. It's main goal is to help assist and train adventurers, helping them learn the dangers of adventuring and how to get ahead in the Adventurer's Guild.

==Logan's Typical Inventory==
'''Last updated:''' N/A
: - Items

=Appearance=
[[File:Logan holden causal.png|right|350px]]
'''Height:''' 5 fulms 11 ilms

'''Weight:''' 186 ponz

'''Complexion: ''' Fair.

'''Hair: ''' Dark brown.

'''Eyes: ''' Dark brown.

: Logan's just above average height, with wide shoulders, and lots of muscle from hefting around his armour and shield, as well as putting them to use quite often. You'd be hard pressed to see them, aside from those on his arms, but Logan's covered in many small scrapes and scars from his many battles, though nothing that hasn't been able to be healed up for the most part. His hair is thick and soft, his eyes watchful, and his face looking like he's either very focused or a little upset, unless he's actively trying to look happy.

=Behavior=
=== '''''Behavior''''' ===
: Logan does his best to always be respectful of others upon meeting them, and generally stays quiet and lets them talk, until he's required to speak. When he is, he tends to answer in the shortest form possible, and often stammers through words until he can get a feel of the person and the conversation.
: When with people he trusts and feels comfortable with, he's far more open and enjoys telling jokes, stories, and listening to others. Even still, you'll often find him on his own, or to one side, as being around a lot of people can make him uncomfortable after long periods of time. He enjoys his quieter time to himself quite a bit.
: Logan is incredibly hard to make angry, though he may feign annoyance and frustration to give what he assumes is the desired reaction from a joke. He always makes sure you know when he's serious, and he hopes he'll get your attention as much as he'd give you his.
: The only time you'll see Logan honestly upset or angry is towards those who don't understand how to take care of others, or those who have betrayed or hurt people. He has little tolerance for the evils of the world, and holds fast to the phrase "do unto others as you would have them do unto you".
: If possible, Logan will prevent the death of any intelligent being, from the Elezen of Isghard to the Kobolds of La Noscea, putting his shield and sword pommel to good use. He does, however, accept that Eorzea is embroiled in violent conflicts, and that peaceful solutions are not always possible, and is willing to kill if necessary.

=== '''''Fears''''' ===
: ■ Ever since the Calamity, Logan's been scared of dragons. After being introduced to the more peaceful side of dragons in Dravania, his fear has lessened, but they can still make him heavily uneasy.
: ■ Being in a leadership position among his friends and even Eorzea, he's terrified of failure and letting down those who hold him to such a high standard.

===Preferences===
: Logan's ideal is someone who's willing to trust him, and open themselves to the same trust. Someone who's willing to work with him to create a solid relationship, knowing they'll have problems, but ready to work through them. He expects to have children and looks forward to raising a family.
: That said, he ended up infatuated with the mysterious Miqo'te, Aiko Slanda, who appeared early in his journey away from home. While she doesn't seem to fit his ideals at all, he nonetheless fell for her, knowing that as much as she needed the stability he was sure he could provide, but that she might hold a key to pushing him forward as a person, and to experience life to its fullest.

Logan is trained mostly in the combat style of Gladiators and Paladins, though he knows a little of conjury from Jen, and has some skill as a Dragoon as well.

=== '''''Weapons''''' ===
: ■ Aettir, Holy Shield

=== '''''Magic''''' ===
Logan knows what magic was taught to him through his Paladin Soul Crystal, as well as some simple conjury and healing ability from his cousin, Jen.

=== '''''Crafting''''' ===
Logan has some simple crafting ability in the disciplines of weaving and carpentry, just enough to mend simple damage to such items, as he often assisted in the repair of items required for the family fishing business.

=Rumors=
=== '''''Common Rumors (Easily overheard)''''' ===
: ■ Most of his friends believe of his likeness to be that of a nerd. He does not deny, yet does not care, for his friends are also nerds.
: ■ William and his Mercs perform good deeds, while mercenary tends to have negative connotation.

=== '''''Moderate Rumors (Moderately difficult to overhear)''''' ===
: ■ Many believe the infamous Chocobo, the man who roams the realm with only a chocobo mask, and William to be one in the same.
: ■ People assume that William is easily frantic within dangerous situations due to his proclamations of death forecoming, when it is highly unlikely.

=== '''''Rare Rumors (Very difficult or rarely overheard)''''' ===
: ■ Some assume that William's pride in his healing is masking true cracks within his skill to heal scholarly when he tends to attack rather than heal directly in some occasions.
: ■ A small amount of people percieve William's Mercs of the Silver to be a band of miscreants due to the naming of the company being assumed to relate vigilantism and greed with the company.

=== '''''PC Rumors (Rumors from the characters of other players)''''' ===
: ■ " I believe William was a chocobo in a past life.." ~[[Darius Kinkaid]]
: ■ “He thinks we don’t know he’s the wanted half naked man in a Chocobo mask calling himself a “Vigilante”, but we /know/.” ~[[Sugis Kevade]]

===Family===

: ■✖Athilda Chambers née Arrowe, (Mother)
:: [[File:Athilda_Chambers.jpg|right|250px|Athilda Chambers]]
::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "My mother is my true inspiration to why I remain healing. It's what she would have wanted.."</div>
:::: Athilda was born in the streets of Ul'Dah, not knowing her true family. She would be a thief in order to get a meal, occasionaly stealing from the marketplace. One day, the grocer took notice of her actions and let the game continue for a while until she confronted her. Athilda, being scared of being arrested, attempted to run, yet was caught immediately. The grocer caught her by the Weavers' Guild and inquired about her life. She told her that she had no home, no family, and no food. Without a second thought, the grocer took her in and raised her. The grocer's name was Petra Arrowe. As she grew older, Athilda, moved to the Shroud to make a name for herself. She thanked her foster mother for everything she's done for her and stayed in touch.
::::Before her marriage to William's father, she gave birth to Roderick, William's oldest brother, yet she was rather promiscuous during her twenties, so Roderick's biological father is unknown but assumed to be a Gods' Quiver archer. Having changed her ways, she found Solmunder eight years later and fell in love and married. They had their first son together Piers and then nine years later their second son William. Athilda lived her life as conjurer for the Twin Adders. Both she and Solmunder were fighting with the Grand Companies at Cartenau against the Garlean menace before the Calamity struck. Solmunder fought valiantly and took many Garlean lives with Athilda alongside him. As they were taking out the enemy, Athilda was caught blindsided and was slew by an Imperial Laquearius. Solmunder was filled with rage and pierced the Laquearius through its heart. Solmunder survived the battle and returned home to his children after the Calamity struck and informed them of the tragic news. William took it hardest of all. Only being twelve at the time of this calamity, he was really close to his mother and she would show him conjury tricks. Whenever William heals for his party, he always thinks of his mother guiding him through to victory..

: ■Solmunder Chambers, (Father)
:: [[File:Solmunder_Chambers.jpg|right|250px|Solmunder Chambers]]
::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "My father would never let any bad situation ruin his sense of humor!"</div>
:::: Solmunder Chambers came from a terrible household in Limsa Lominsa. He was born to a family of vile pirates known as the Chamberlain Crew. He was forced to partake in villainous crimes if he was to get a meal and bed each day. When he became eighteen years of age, he mustered the courage to hitch a ship to Aldenard without saying one word to his family. He arrived in Vesper Bay and changed his name to Chambers, for slight differentiation from his family. He trekked to the Shroud in hopes to learn either archery or lancing; upon his arrival to Gridania, he learned the latter. He became skilled quickly enough for one of the Wood Wailers to take notice and suggest him to be a private among them. For many years he was an esteemed Wood Wailer and caught the eye of a fan, Athilda. They met at the Carline Canopy when Solmunder was off duty and Athilda noticed him. She approached him commending him for his valor in protecting the Shroud and immediately hit it off. They would always make jokes with each other with Solmunder always cracking horrible puns, yet Athilda laughed anyways. Athilda's nickname for Solmunder was "Sully" and although he wasn't too fond of it, it did not bother him either way; His nickname for her was Thillie and she liked it. They worked together roaming the Shroud, vanquishing any threat to Gridania with Athilda supporting Sully as he fought head-on.

:::: After the passing of his wife, Solmunder tried to keep his joy alive by providing for their children. Sully was only in his early forties yet became weak at holding his lance for long. Roderick, who was proficient at archery, joined the Gods' Bow to provide coin for the family. Sully, being grateful for Rod's generosity, officially retired his lance and stayed at home to tend to the family crops. William loved his father dearly and would always assist him when Sully is unable to move around. William talked to his father about leaving to provide even more for his family. William even mentioned desiring to change his surname to became notable for his own deeds, not his father's. Solmunder was quite the opposite of being disappointed and gave William a big hug and told him he was proud of that decision and mentioned his own story of coming to Aldenard. To this day, William provides 45 percent of his earnings to his family and visits home every now and then. His father is his inspiration for whenever William cracks a silly pun and would think of him every time he does.
: ■♦Piers Chambers, (Brother)
:: [[File:Piers_Chambers.jpg|right|250px|Piers Chambers]]
::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "Piers and I never really saw eye to eye. He always tried to rival me in archery, even when his accuracy was low.."</div>
:::: Piers is the middle child in the Chambers' family and felt he was only treated as such. He felt so much praise until William was born, and from then on he tended to resent him. William tried to show his love for his brother, but was never noticed. So he simply gave up and did not care for him. When their mother was killed in battle, there was even more disgust between the brothers. Piers always thought their mother favored William over him and he was filled with anger. Soon after, Piers left for Limsa Lominsa to get away from the family for a while. He had hoped his excile will cure his anger. In the meantime, Roderick taught William archery and became a prodigy at it. A few years passed and Piers returned home having made minor success and lost it all when he fell for a Miqo'te courtesan. He thought she truly loved him so he gave her a home in the Mist for them to live together. However, she mooched off gil after gil until she had the deed of the house and kicked him out for an Auri girl. He had but no choice to return home.

:::: Upon his return to Hyrstmill, he had noticed that the family had moved out of the hamlet and into a house in the Lavender Beds. When he found where the family was living at, he noticed William practicing archery in the yard with a target. He noticed William hit a bullseye with each shot. Piers did not like how William was better at archery than he and this refueled his anger. For the years to follow, they would pointlessly compete at archery. During one of these competitions, Piers blew a gasket and accused William of cheating everytime. William, unable to keep his cool, was about to make a shot at the target and turned to tell off Piers, but the arrow was released. The arrow flew and pierced Piers in the eye. Piers, writhing in pain screamed out obscenities toward William. William, knowing the conjury spell Cure, could have healed Piers if done immediately, but ran in fear. He came back home that night attempting to cure Piers' pain. The pain was gone, but Piers could never see in his left eye again. To this day, Piers is somewhere in Ul'Dah with his exact whereabouts unknown. William would once in a while recieve death threats from an anonymous sender, yet he could always recognize Piers' penmanship.

::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "Rod has always been a wonderful teacher in archery! We both show each other new tricks from time to time!"</div>
:::: Rod grew up never knowing who his real father was, as his mother was promiscuous when he was conceived.

=Prompts=
==F.A.Q.'s==
: ■ Does your character have siblings or family members in their age group? Which one are they closest with?
:: William’s two siblings have a big age gap from William, with Piers being 9 years older and Rod being 17 years older. William is not remotely close to Piers any way. They have had too much bad blood over the years. Rod however remains very close to William, as he first taught him archery as he became a novice. Any other relatives are unknown as his father came from a family of pirates and his mother grew up in the streets of Ul’Dah.
: ■ What is/was your character’s relationship with their mother like?
:: While she was still alive, she would always tell William stories of her adventures with his father each night as a child. William loved his mother dearly such that she is the true reason he kept healing. She taught him the basic heal Cure as a child. There were several instances where he became so flustered, he considered retiring his codex. Yet he remembered his mother would never give up in the heat of battle, so neither should he.
: ■ What is/was your character’s relationship with their father like?
:: His relationship to his father is quite as loving as his relationship to his mother! Before Rod was actually teaching William archery, it was his father who gave him his first bow and arrow set. Even thouch his father was adept lancing, he had knew archery as well. When he presented William his own set, at roughly nine years old, his father demonstrated archery to him by taking three arrows from a quiver, placing each in his bow, and accurately shot the bullseye! William’s face was filled with awe and his love for archery began. His father’s jokes also rubbed off onto William, which eventually became everyone else’s misfortune. Every cracked pun blossomed from the sole purpose to simply make everyone happy, as his father made him.
: ■ Has your character ever witnessed something that fundamentally changed them? If so, does anyone else know?
:: A year into William’s travels, having been months since he became a Warrior of Light, he was assisting the historical scholars of NOAH with emergence of the Crystal Tower. William was mainly a user of white magic and was hesitant to pick up a new skill at the time. He was tasked with preventing the realm becoming a World of Darkness. There was another healer in his group, one whose techniques differed from his own. He had not seen a healer perform abilities like these before. In duty, William took notice that their Warrior was taking too much damage at a point for William to replenish health quick enough. The Warrior got weak enough to the point where William was forced to grant him Benediction. The other healer managed to take over the main healing and was granting him aetheric shields to nullify incoming damage. William was astounded to see such a trick done in battle. After the duty was complete, he asked the other healer in the group where he learned such skills; he told him to find Alka Zolka and ask her the ways of the Nymian Scholar. Henceforth, he dedicated his following days studying the abilities of a Scholar in battle and became an adept Scholar under the great Nymian Scholar Surito Carito.
: ■ On an average day, what can be found in your character’s pockets?
:: Usually pocket lint.
: ■ What does your OC look for in a friend? Do they value friendship a lot?
:: What William finds for in a friend is someone who he is able to put his trust into, someone who he knows respects him as he to them, and someone who can put up with all of his dang shenanigans! Does he value friendship? Are chocobo couriers actually yellow chocobos splathered with tar? Yes! Friendship means everything to William and never wants to sever ties with someone he has grown see as a friend.
: ■ Is there a place they go to in order to escape the world, the stresses of life? What’s their favourite place?
:: Whenever William feels stressed from either a poor dungeon dive or surrounded by plenty of drama, he either resides within the study of his home to review over past tomes or journeys to Tailfeather to surround himself with the chocobos within their natural habitat. Either resolution renders William at peace.
: ■ What are concepts they value? Virtues? What do they look down upon?
:: William values the safety of his friends at all times within a duty. Whether he chooses to be the designated healer or a bard, he refuses to allow his party to fail, or even perish. He also values his friends above all else. As his virtues, William selects loyalty, as in to each other, and family, as in he places his family above everything else, whether it be his blood family or his friends who he looks to as a family. William looks down upon a betrayal of trust. He finds it very hard to mend broken ties, yet can turn the other cheek if necessary.
: ■Do they have a guilty conscience? Why? Did they ever do something they totally regretted?
:: William is as innocent as he’s going to get. He totally does not enact shenanigans in public as the Chocobo. What if he was the Chocobo? He would not regret it one bit. He finds it hilarious to be stared at when he conducts his weekly foray into Issom-Har in his chocobo suit. However the most shenanigans he would openly admit to would be shuffling up Sugis’ books. Yet he really needs to learn to conduct his prank while she isn’t home..
: ■ What are Tropes you associate with your muse?
:: ● Bookworm since he studies old tomes he’s collected from the Gubal Library during some of Sugis’ forays, yet while he does not have a collection of tomes to amount Sugis’, his collection sums to an estimate of sixty.
:: ● a literal Scholar, while that may be preferred healing job in duties, he tends to overly study past civilizations. He has recently taken an interest in the War of the Magi and regularly conducts expeditions to the Yafaem saltmoors for Mhach and the Wanderer’s Palace to communicate with the tonberries of Nym, if he manages to find a sane tonberry.
:: ● Chocobo.
: ■ If given a million dollars, what would your OC do?
:: “Dollars? Is that a currency? The only common currency used across Eorzea is gil, so I’ll assume the question will refer to gil.”
:: William upon given a million gil will immediately donate a quarter to his family for however his father seems fit, a quarter to his free company to fund their move from their current base of a cottage in the Lavender Beds into a mansion of appealing scenary, a quarter to the Adventurer’s Guild for showing how even a Warrior of Light can make his start with them, and the remaining quarter for himself for various luxuries for his private house (totally not decorating it fully in chocobo decor).
==Other O.C.'s Relationships==
===Sugis Kevade===
: ■"Rumor has it that William deals in shady blackmarket business what with multiplw people seeing him go into the Kevade Mansion so often...."
:: While that may appear so, his business at the mansion is strictly personal! He considers the “Void” officers friends! While Suvi is verbally annoyed by his jokes, William notices a smirk followed by disbelief upon his face. On occasion, he may give business advice, as he runs his free company. While he stays out of specific business details, he cares not for whatever “shady” business is conducted, yet refuses to get involved in actual dealings. Although on one instance, he proposed that Suvi hire William’s older brother to do some secretarial work.
: William's memories of Sugis
:: ⭐️ One memory of William remembers is the day they first met in a duty to clear the first hall of Dzemael Darkhold. William on occasion tells Sugis how he both regrets and is grateful for that encounter.
:: ⭐️ No matter what’s happening, whether it be a dangerous raid or utter nonsense, William and Sugis will not hesitate to be sarcastic and sassy to each other.
:: ⭐️ William will not step one foot inside Sugis’ house. He once did and he was frightened by the sheer number of books in her house. Her house would put the Gubal Library out of business.
:: ⭐️ How many puns does it take for William to get on Sugis’s nerves. A skele-ton. She’d punish him, but that in itself would be helping his situation.
: Sugis' memories of William
:: ⭐️ Despite a slight age gap, and the fact that Will is /technically an adult/ Sugis still treats him like a child when it comes to his safety.
:: ⭐️ Sugis quit drinking due to something that happened involving dungeon crawling, Will pressuring a drunken Ishgardian Dragoon to “Do It”, and multiple Gas Bombs.
:: ⭐️ She likes to tease him, lightheartedly, about girls and when he’s gonna start dating to fluster him.
:: ⭐️ If there was a gil for every time she shouted “You’re grounded” to Will… She’d probably be rich(er).
:: ⭐️ Sugis takes the more serious marks for hunts and mercenary related stuff because she doesn’t want to see Will get hurt.
===Riaa Alteir===
: Riaa's memories of William
:: ⭐️ Riaa thinks that William is quite silly, but she appreciates it. Most people are too serious so it’s a nice change. She especially likes the OH JEEZ
:: ⭐️ to the point now where Riaa gleefully joins in on the OH JEEZ as well. She isn’t too bothered if it’s bugging anybody, but she’s definately having fun with it, and figures if SHE’S having fun with it then William must also be having fun too and YAY FUN.
:: ⭐️ She likes his hat. Not any specific one, just all of them. (Riaa really likes the chocobo head though, she thinks it’s hilarious.)
:: ⭐️ (Weed-Lizard) After the pixie stix incident, Mariko is worried about the purity of her candy, and as such double-triple checks that it’s not got anything else in. She’s also a bit worried that William managed to get tweaked out like that. On candy. How even…?
===Darius Kinkaid===
: Darius' memories of William
:: ⭐️ Darius knows about William through his subordinate, Ringabel [Sugis]. He’s heard nothing but good things, but is convinced William lives in a constant state of thinking everyone is going to die in an instant.
:: ⭐️ Darius also believes William was a chocobo in a past life.
:: ⭐️ When they first met, them two didn’t speak much outside of momentary jokes and the like, but they both soon found out they both read stories about a fictional group of heroes. The first book in question? “Red Helm and the Vandals.” There are other books, but William is convinced Darius idolizes this “Red Helm” character. He’s not absolutely wrong.
:: ⭐️ Since finding out about his sister, Darius has attended every small party William and his Free Company has thrown. The scholar in question is the only person who knows Darius disguises himself as an entertainer in a Vanu Vanu outfit.
:: ⭐️ William is constantly forgetting who Darius is, claiming he had seen him before in outlandish roles and places. It is unknown if William just does this to try and get inside Darius’s head or if it’s honestly forgetfulness.
:: ⭐️ Darius and William finally became friends when a mishap occurred while questing. They both had said “Oh Jeez” at the same time, rendering odd looks from both parties.

:'''Logan Holden''' is a Warrior of Light hailing from Moraby Bay, where he grew up with a fisherman father and a Yellowjacket mother, alongside his fraternal twin Cherise. He left home after a series of dreams began to press themselves into his mind, including while he was wide awake. His sister decided to join him, and together the pair left for Ul'dah. From there he learned to fight while being a member of the Gladiator's Guild, and his eagerness to assist any who needed it was a valuable asset as a member of the Adventurer's Guild, and eventually he was given the offer to join the Scions of the Seventh Dawn. After joining, he ended up captured and facing tempering by the Amalj'aa primal, Ifrit, but found himself immune. Since then he's grown as a warrior, and began leading a small group of Scions, later forming the Free Company Awoken Wanderers with them, and becoming known as a Warrior of Light.

:Unknown to Logan, his early skill with fighting, his aetherpool, and connection to Hydaelyn comes from the soul of a Warrior of Light that was lost and otherwise forgotten after Bahamut released his barrage against Eorzea, an Elezen known as Lusiel Coydan. While they have no direct connection, Logan has become aware of her presence, and often does she manage to send him small amounts of knowledge or feelings about people or places she's seen. He also has a heavy empathetic connection to his Echo visions, and can acutely feel the emotions of those he sees in his visions. He never forgets them, and should he dwell on them too much, they will return in full force, which is something he often has to guard against.





==Free Company: Awoken Wanderers==
: The Awoken Wanderers were formed by Logan and his group of adventuring friends to create a home for both them, and give them a banner under which to go by when not acting within the confines of the Scions of the Seventh Dawn. It's main goal is to help assist and train adventurers, helping them learn the dangers of adventuring and how to get ahead in the Adventurer's Guild.

==Logan's Typical Inventory==
'''Last updated:''' N/A
: - Items

=Appearance=
[[File:Logan holden causal.png|right|350px]]
'''Height:''' 5 fulms 11 ilms

'''Weight:''' 186 ponz

'''Complexion: ''' Fair.

'''Hair: ''' Dark brown.

'''Eyes: ''' Dark brown.

: Logan's just above average height, with wide shoulders, and lots of muscle from hefting around his armour and shield, as well as putting them to use quite often. You'd be hard pressed to see them, aside from those on his arms, but Logan's covered in many small scrapes and scars from his many battles, though nothing that hasn't been able to be healed up for the most part. His hair is thick and soft, his eyes watchful, and his face looking like he's either very focused or a little upset, unless he's actively trying to look happy.

=Behavior=
=== '''''Behavior''''' ===
: Logan does his best to always be respectful of others upon meeting them, and generally stays quiet and lets them talk, until he's required to speak. When he is, he tends to answer in the shortest form possible, and often stammers through words until he can get a feel of the person and the conversation.
: When with people he trusts and feels comfortable with, he's far more open and enjoys telling jokes, stories, and listening to others. Even still, you'll often find him on his own, or to one side, as being around a lot of people can make him uncomfortable after long periods of time. He enjoys his quieter time to himself quite a bit.
: Logan is incredibly hard to make angry, though he may feign annoyance and frustration to give what he assumes is the desired reaction from a joke. He always makes sure you know when he's serious, and he hopes he'll get your attention as much as he'd give you his.
: The only time you'll see Logan honestly upset or angry is towards those who don't understand how to take care of others, or those who have betrayed or hurt people. He has little tolerance for the evils of the world, and holds fast to the phrase "do unto others as you would have them do unto you".
: If possible, Logan will prevent the death of any intelligent being, from the Elezen of Isghard to the Kobolds of La Noscea, putting his shield and sword pommel to good use. He does, however, accept that Eorzea is embroiled in violent conflicts, and that peaceful solutions are not always possible, and is willing to kill if necessary.

=== '''''Fears''''' ===
: ■ Ever since the Calamity, Logan's been scared of dragons. After being introduced to the more peaceful side of dragons in Dravania, his fear has lessened, but they can still make him heavily uneasy.
: ■ Being in a leadership position among his friends and even Eorzea, he's terrified of failure and letting down those who hold him to such a high standard.

===Preferences===
: Logan's ideal is someone who's willing to trust him, and open themselves to the same trust. Someone who's willing to work with him to create a solid relationship, knowing they'll have problems, but ready to work through them. He expects to have children and looks forward to raising a family.
: That said, he ended up infatuated with the mysterious Miqo'te, Aiko Slanda, who appeared early in his journey away from home. While she doesn't seem to fit his ideals at all, he nonetheless fell for her, knowing that as much as she needed the stability he was sure he could provide, but that she might hold a key to pushing him forward as a person, and to experience life to its fullest.

Logan is trained mostly in the combat style of Gladiators and Paladins, though he knows a little of conjury from Jen, and has some skill as a Dragoon as well.

=== '''''Weapons''''' ===
: ■ Aettir, Holy Shield

=== '''''Magic''''' ===
Logan knows what magic was taught to him through his Paladin Soul Crystal, as well as some simple conjury and healing ability from his cousin, Jen.

=== '''''Crafting''''' ===
Logan has some simple crafting ability in the disciplines of weaving and carpentry, just enough to mend simple damage to such items, as he often assisted in the repair of items required for the family fishing business.

=Background=
: “My name is William Fedorason.
: For years I have faced a major calamity with only one goal:
: To save my realm. Now others have joined with me in my company.
: To them, I am William, but to the rest of Eorzea,
: I am the Warrior of Light.”

:: -From a letter to Ser Aymeric de Borel in regards to assisting in the Dragonsong War.
=== ''Birth and childhood (0-10)'' ===
: Born William Chambers in the year 1560 of the Sixth Astral Era, he was raised within the hamlet of Hyrstmill of the northern Shroud. His parents are Solmunder Chambers, a well decorated Wood Wailer, and Athilda Chambers, a skilled conjurer for the Twin Adders. He has two older brothers, Piers Chambers, who's a moderate archer and only 9 years older, and Roderick Arrowe, his half-brother who's was a skilled archer among the Gods' Bow and now a secretary for the free company of <<VOID>>. At young age, archery interested him a great deal. His father would craft him his own bow and dulled arrows to play with. Though he was no good, he still enjoyed it no matter what. Whenever William would injure himself when he plays outside, his mother always use her skills of conjury to cure his wounds. Over time, William learned to cure on his own, but not much more conjury than that.
=== ''Adolescent Years'' ===
: As William grew, he met his now best friends in Old Gridania. At the age of eleven, he was tasked to travel to the city to pick up some seeds and tools from the Botanist's Guild to replenish his family's farm. When the guildmaster unfortunately stated there were no such seeds available for pickup, there was an Elezen kid who was also purchasing seeds who had came before him. He had noticed the despair in William's face and gave him a portion of his seeds. He had introduced himself as Brandon. Days passed and they would meet up to hang out, and William was introduced to Brandon's friends: Tyler Ultimathule, an Elezen, and Aries Xela, a Miqo'te who was typically called Alex. The four of them would become inseparable over time.
: William had minimal previous magical encounters. He once came across an altercation between the Sharlayan Circle of Knowing and a dark robed Mage. Apparently there was a surge of aetheric energy coming from near the Ehcatl 9 tribe, the docile Ixali group. William, only twelve at the time, was out gathering some firewood when the Mage confronted him. Frightened, William was cornered into a cavern. He noticed the Mage preparing to cast some magical attack, but was cut short when a Miqote conjurer, Highlander pugilist, and a Lalafellan thaumaturge confronted him. The Mage directed his attacks to hit the pugilist as some magic deflected off her and hit William instead. The conjurer came to his aid and cured his wounds. She remained by his side as the thaumaturge managed to harm the Mage. The Mage soon dissipated away. The three heroes of the hour introduced themselves as Y'shtola, Yda, and Papalymo respectively. They mentioned to William to contact them whenever there is a similar issue in the future. They dedicated there life to protecting the innocent from the forces of darkness saving the realm from calamity. From that day forward, William decided to become an adventurer and aspired to become like them, for he could discern true heroism within them.
====The Calamity Strikes====
: With word of the "Meteor Project" coming to the light of the Eorzean Alliance, the grand companies and allied free companies took up arms to defend the Carteneau Flats from the Garlean menace. William's parents both took up arms to fight with the Twin Adders. At home, William was sitting outside his cottage with his brothers watching the slow descent of the false moon. Though he and Piers never truly saw eye to eye, this may be the only time when they are united. His friends had shown up to wait out the world’s immenent demise. William felt powerless. He wanted to do something about the inevitable calamity that would affect his quaint hamlet. He saw the enormous cracks forming upon Dalamud and something spoke to him inside his head.
:: “Save them later. Be…a…hero…”
: The voice felt as if someone was echoing right behind him, yet when he turned around to check, there was only a dissipating mist. He had asked to his friends around if they heard anything nearby, but they denied. William looked back up to the falling moon as it suddenly bursts as the Dreadwyrm breaks free. William and his friends stand up in shock as Bahamut ravages the land. The first thought to pop in William’s head was the Circle of Knowing that he had met a month prior. He had hoped they would save the realm from total annihilation. William noticed the people around him either crying or standing in complete shock. He notice one man pick up his young daughter and held her tight saying “Everything will be alright sometime soon.” He could see a hunk of the false moon fall near the southern border of the North Shroud. Suddenly a flash of white bright light covers the realm. Soon after, the Dreadwyrm disappears without a trace. Eorzea, a realm reborn out of a tragic calamity, needs a hero.

====A Family in Shambles====
: It has been five hours since the disappearance of Bahamut and William and his brothers are waiting anxiously for their parents to return. It was about the middle of the night when Roderick noticed a tired man carrying a woman in his arms. He trudged toward the cottage and as the light shined on his face, it was their father with tears flooding from his eyes. Roderick yelled for Piers and William to wake up. William came immediately outside and saw his father carrying his mother in his arms. William promptly yelled for his mother to wake up. With tears trailing from his eyes, he attempted to cast Cure on her, but to no avail. He attempted to execute a spell he has been learning, Raise. For a slight moment, he had heard the voice from before, but was indistinguishable. By the grace of the Twelve, his mother's eyes opened. She was awake, but not for long. She could speak, but she was very weak. Solmunder was speechless to witness such a temporary miracle. Athilda knew she would be passing soon, so she gave each a hug and a kiss. She told them all to be well and live happy whilst urging to remain together. Her last breath passed as she took hold on to William's hand before losing her grip on her mortal coil.
: Weeks passed after the passing of Athilda and Piers took excile from his Gridanian home to move to Limsa Lominsa for a new life. With two family members being gone from the home, only Solmunder, Roderick, and William remained. Solmunder tried to remain cheerful in the times of grief, yet he is always reminded of the dreadful day of the Calamity. Rod took notice of his father's decline in strength and mobility over time. He believed it to be caused by the grief and the PTSD from the moment Athilda's life started slipping. Rod thought to move the family to start over. Within two months, the family moved out of Hyrstmill and into the Lavender Beds. Once settled in, Rod taught William archery in the yard of their new home. Needless to say, William's skills advanced fairly over time.
: Years passed and Piers returned home from his travels in Vylbrand. In that time, Piers worked part time as a bow-for-hire and fell for a Miqo'te girl. Over time, they got a house, yet she would mooch gil off of Piers and eventually kicked Piers out of "their" house for an Auri girl. Defeated, he returned home. He had found the location of the new family home and noticed William practicing archery. Piers took pride in his skills of archery and believed he should be the best archer in the family, although he does not care whether Rod was good or not for some reason. As he came around the corner, he noticed William hit a bullseye thrice in a row. Piers' resent for William was reignited. For months they would have petty competitions too see who was the better archer.
: When William was about 15, he and Piers had one of their usual archery competitions. After each round, William was always closer to the center than Piers. At a moment when William was ready to shoot his next arrow at the target, Piers yelled out that he cheats each time. As he was ranting aloud, William shrugged it off until he could no longer. Piers then accused William that he was never really loved by his mother, such that it was all out of pity. William could not hold back much longer and as he released the arrow from the bow, he immediately turned to Piers to tell him off, yet the arrow was still in the bowstring. The arrow managed to hit the bullseye, but not on the target and instead in Piers' left eye. He fell to the ground screaming and writhing in pain. Piers yelled obscenities and slurs toward William. William considered taking out his wand to cure Piers, but he fled the yard instead. He returned about 75 minutes later to the house to see Piers passed out in the living room with the arrow still in the eye. William attempted to cure the eye. As he casted the spell, he slowly remove the arrow from Piers' eye. He noticed Piers' body relax some and soon woke up. Piers woke up wondering why he felt no pain rubbing his eyes. He opened his eyes and rubbed his left eye some more. He could see out his right but not in his left. Starting to panic, he ran to a mirror nearby , nearly tripping on a stool. He looked in the mirror to see his left eye foggy. Piers was blind in his left eye. Piers screamed out in horror and blamed William that he could never practice archery again. In the morning, Piers was gone and was not heard from again, officially.

=== ''Adulthood'' ===
====The Beginnings of an Adventurer====
: At the age of sixteen, after all the years following tragedy after tragedy, William finally prepared to set off for Gridania. On the day before he sets off for an adventurer's life, he prepared his bow, one made by his father. He had wondered whether or not fame would come for him quickly as his family name is of Chambers. He does not want to easily be significant as the "Son of Solmunder Chambers". He went to his father for advice upon the matter and contemplated whether going by another name should suffice. Solmunder sat him down next to him and took his old fedora off and plopped onto William's head. He told him how he should do what he feels is right and never look back. He agreed wholeheartedly with William considering to go by another name. He even told him a little story..
:: "Aye Will, ye listen close. Once upon eh time there was eh young Lominsan lad who lived amongst eh family of ruthless 'n coldhearted killehs 'n theives. 'E was forced to join th' crew iffen 'e wants some grub and eh night's rest. 'Pon the day of 'is eighteenth nameday, 'e mustered 'is courage t' leave 'is godsforsaken home, iffen it could be called eh home. 'E took to th' ports of Limsa Lominsa 'n 'e found eh small cargo ship to th' mainland 'o Aldenard. 'E arrived en Vesper Bay where 'e could 'ear some word of eh trip to th' Shroud. Now 'e was quite skilled en the disciplines of archery 'n spearin', so Gridania was quite th' place for harnessin' 'is skills. 'E took the first journey to th' Shroud and landed en th' Adventurer's Guild. They at th' time were-eh pryin' for th' lad's name. 'E could not take aftah 'is true name, for 'e could be eithah arrested by th' Serpents or found by 'is twisted family! 'Is 'eart was racin' so 'e scrubbed off o' 'is last name for 'is new name. Chambers. See lad, for 'e was I. When I was at 'bout ye' age for even I was at ye' place. I needed t' make eh name for me-self. 'N that I did, lad. I rose the to th' tops o' ranks of th' Wailers n' I even met ye motheh. She'd be quite proud of ye decision. Take 'tis hat wit' ye wherever ye go. 'Tis nice for th' formal nights 'n even was what ye motheh noticed first of me!"
: William had not known of his father's history before the Wailers before now. He took the fancy hat and packed it in his suitcase with his other clothes. He grabbed his old wand and placed it near his bow when his brother came to see him. He had been practicing archery everyday to prepare for this moment. Rod wished him luck for his journeys ahead and urged him to never give up when things seems hard.

===Family===

: ■✖Athilda Chambers née Arrowe, (Mother)
:: [[File:Athilda_Chambers.jpg|right|250px|Athilda Chambers]]
::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "My mother is my true inspiration to why I remain healing. It's what she would have wanted.."</div>
:::: Athilda was born in the streets of Ul'Dah, not knowing her true family. She would be a thief in order to get a meal, occasionaly stealing from the marketplace. One day, the grocer took notice of her actions and let the game continue for a while until she confronted her. Athilda, being scared of being arrested, attempted to run, yet was caught immediately. The grocer caught her by the Weavers' Guild and inquired about her life. She told her that she had no home, no family, and no food. Without a second thought, the grocer took her in and raised her. The grocer's name was Petra Arrowe. As she grew older, Athilda, moved to the Shroud to make a name for herself. She thanked her foster mother for everything she's done for her and stayed in touch.
::::Before her marriage to William's father, she gave birth to Roderick, William's oldest brother, yet she was rather promiscuous during her twenties, so Roderick's biological father is unknown but assumed to be a Gods' Quiver archer. Having changed her ways, she found Solmunder eight years later and fell in love and married. They had their first son together Piers and then nine years later their second son William. Athilda lived her life as conjurer for the Twin Adders. Both she and Solmunder were fighting with the Grand Companies at Cartenau against the Garlean menace before the Calamity struck. Solmunder fought valiantly and took many Garlean lives with Athilda alongside him. As they were taking out the enemy, Athilda was caught blindsided and was slew by an Imperial Laquearius. Solmunder was filled with rage and pierced the Laquearius through its heart. Solmunder survived the battle and returned home to his children after the Calamity struck and informed them of the tragic news. William took it hardest of all. Only being twelve at the time of this calamity, he was really close to his mother and she would show him conjury tricks. Whenever William heals for his party, he always thinks of his mother guiding him through to victory..

: ■Solmunder Chambers, (Father)
:: [[File:Solmunder_Chambers.jpg|right|250px|Solmunder Chambers]]
::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "My father would never let any bad situation ruin his sense of humor!"</div>
:::: Solmunder Chambers came from a terrible household in Limsa Lominsa. He was born to a family of vile pirates known as the Chamberlain Crew. He was forced to partake in villainous crimes if he was to get a meal and bed each day. When he became eighteen years of age, he mustered the courage to hitch a ship to Aldenard without saying one word to his family. He arrived in Vesper Bay and changed his name to Chambers, for slight differentiation from his family. He trekked to the Shroud in hopes to learn either archery or lancing; upon his arrival to Gridania, he learned the latter. He became skilled quickly enough for one of the Wood Wailers to take notice and suggest him to be a private among them. For many years he was an esteemed Wood Wailer and caught the eye of a fan, Athilda. They met at the Carline Canopy when Solmunder was off duty and Athilda noticed him. She approached him commending him for his valor in protecting the Shroud and immediately hit it off. They would always make jokes with each other with Solmunder always cracking horrible puns, yet Athilda laughed anyways. Athilda's nickname for Solmunder was "Sully" and although he wasn't too fond of it, it did not bother him either way; His nickname for her was Thillie and she liked it. They worked together roaming the Shroud, vanquishing any threat to Gridania with Athilda supporting Sully as he fought head-on.

:::: After the passing of his wife, Solmunder tried to keep his joy alive by providing for their children. Sully was only in his early forties yet became weak at holding his lance for long. Roderick, who was proficient at archery, joined the Gods' Bow to provide coin for the family. Sully, being grateful for Rod's generosity, officially retired his lance and stayed at home to tend to the family crops. William loved his father dearly and would always assist him when Sully is unable to move around. William talked to his father about leaving to provide even more for his family. William even mentioned desiring to change his surname to became notable for his own deeds, not his father's. Solmunder was quite the opposite of being disappointed and gave William a big hug and told him he was proud of that decision and mentioned his own story of coming to Aldenard. To this day, William provides 45 percent of his earnings to his family and visits home every now and then. His father is his inspiration for whenever William cracks a silly pun and would think of him every time he does.
: ■♦Piers Chambers, (Brother)
:: [[File:Piers_Chambers.jpg|right|250px|Piers Chambers]]
::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "Piers and I never really saw eye to eye. He always tried to rival me in archery, even when his accuracy was low.."</div>
:::: Piers is the middle child in the Chambers' family and felt he was only treated as such. He felt so much praise until William was born, and from then on he tended to resent him. William tried to show his love for his brother, but was never noticed. So he simply gave up and did not care for him. When their mother was killed in battle, there was even more disgust between the brothers. Piers always thought their mother favored William over him and he was filled with anger. Soon after, Piers left for Limsa Lominsa to get away from the family for a while. He had hoped his excile will cure his anger. In the meantime, Roderick taught William archery and became a prodigy at it. A few years passed and Piers returned home having made minor success and lost it all when he fell for a Miqo'te courtesan. He thought she truly loved him so he gave her a home in the Mist for them to live together. However, she mooched off gil after gil until she had the deed of the house and kicked him out for an Auri girl. He had but no choice to return home.

:::: Upon his return to Hyrstmill, he had noticed that the family had moved out of the hamlet and into a house in the Lavender Beds. When he found where the family was living at, he noticed William practicing archery in the yard with a target. He noticed William hit a bullseye with each shot. Piers did not like how William was better at archery than he and this refueled his anger. For the years to follow, they would pointlessly compete at archery. During one of these competitions, Piers blew a gasket and accused William of cheating everytime. William, unable to keep his cool, was about to make a shot at the target and turned to tell off Piers, but the arrow was released. The arrow flew and pierced Piers in the eye. Piers, writhing in pain screamed out obscenities toward William. William, knowing the conjury spell Cure, could have healed Piers if done immediately, but ran in fear. He came back home that night attempting to cure Piers' pain. The pain was gone, but Piers could never see in his left eye again. To this day, Piers is somewhere in Ul'Dah with his exact whereabouts unknown. William would once in a while recieve death threats from an anonymous sender, yet he could always recognize Piers' penmanship.
: ■Roderick Arrowe, (Half-Brother)
:: [[File:Roderick_Arrowe.jpg|right|250px|Roderick Arrowe]]
::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "Rod has always been a wonderful teacher in archery! We both show each other new tricks from time to time!"</div>
:::: Rod grew up never knowing who his real father was, as his mother was promiscuous when he was conceived.

=Prompts=
==F.A.Q.'s==
: ■ Does your character have siblings or family members in their age group? Which one are they closest with?
:: William’s two siblings have a big age gap from William, with Piers being 9 years older and Rod being 17 years older. William is not remotely close to Piers any way. They have had too much bad blood over the years. Rod however remains very close to William, as he first taught him archery as he became a novice. Any other relatives are unknown as his father came from a family of pirates and his mother grew up in the streets of Ul’Dah.
: ■ What is/was your character’s relationship with their mother like?
:: While she was still alive, she would always tell William stories of her adventures with his father each night as a child. William loved his mother dearly such that she is the true reason he kept healing. She taught him the basic heal Cure as a child. There were several instances where he became so flustered, he considered retiring his codex. Yet he remembered his mother would never give up in the heat of battle, so neither should he.
: ■ What is/was your character’s relationship with their father like?
:: His relationship to his father is quite as loving as his relationship to his mother! Before Rod was actually teaching William archery, it was his father who gave him his first bow and arrow set. Even thouch his father was adept lancing, he had knew archery as well. When he presented William his own set, at roughly nine years old, his father demonstrated archery to him by taking three arrows from a quiver, placing each in his bow, and accurately shot the bullseye! William’s face was filled with awe and his love for archery began. His father’s jokes also rubbed off onto William, which eventually became everyone else’s misfortune. Every cracked pun blossomed from the sole purpose to simply make everyone happy, as his father made him.
: ■ Has your character ever witnessed something that fundamentally changed them? If so, does anyone else know?
:: A year into William’s travels, having been months since he became a Warrior of Light, he was assisting the historical scholars of NOAH with emergence of the Crystal Tower. William was mainly a user of white magic and was hesitant to pick up a new skill at the time. He was tasked with preventing the realm becoming a World of Darkness. There was another healer in his group, one whose techniques differed from his own. He had not seen a healer perform abilities like these before. In duty, William took notice that their Warrior was taking too much damage at a point for William to replenish health quick enough. The Warrior got weak enough to the point where William was forced to grant him Benediction. The other healer managed to take over the main healing and was granting him aetheric shields to nullify incoming damage. William was astounded to see such a trick done in battle. After the duty was complete, he asked the other healer in the group where he learned such skills; he told him to find Alka Zolka and ask her the ways of the Nymian Scholar. Henceforth, he dedicated his following days studying the abilities of a Scholar in battle and became an adept Scholar under the great Nymian Scholar Surito Carito.
: ■ On an average day, what can be found in your character’s pockets?
:: Usually pocket lint.
: ■ What does your OC look for in a friend? Do they value friendship a lot?
:: What William finds for in a friend is someone who he is able to put his trust into, someone who he knows respects him as he to them, and someone who can put up with all of his dang shenanigans! Does he value friendship? Are chocobo couriers actually yellow chocobos splathered with tar? Yes! Friendship means everything to William and never wants to sever ties with someone he has grown see as a friend.
: ■ Is there a place they go to in order to escape the world, the stresses of life? What’s their favourite place?
:: Whenever William feels stressed from either a poor dungeon dive or surrounded by plenty of drama, he either resides within the study of his home to review over past tomes or journeys to Tailfeather to surround himself with the chocobos within their natural habitat. Either resolution renders William at peace.
: ■ What are concepts they value? Virtues? What do they look down upon?
:: William values the safety of his friends at all times within a duty. Whether he chooses to be the designated healer or a bard, he refuses to allow his party to fail, or even perish. He also values his friends above all else. As his virtues, William selects loyalty, as in to each other, and family, as in he places his family above everything else, whether it be his blood family or his friends who he looks to as a family. William looks down upon a betrayal of trust. He finds it very hard to mend broken ties, yet can turn the other cheek if necessary.
: ■Do they have a guilty conscience? Why? Did they ever do something they totally regretted?
:: William is as innocent as he’s going to get. He totally does not enact shenanigans in public as the Chocobo. What if he was the Chocobo? He would not regret it one bit. He finds it hilarious to be stared at when he conducts his weekly foray into Issom-Har in his chocobo suit. However the most shenanigans he would openly admit to would be shuffling up Sugis’ books. Yet he really needs to learn to conduct his prank while she isn’t home..
: ■ What are Tropes you associate with your muse?
:: ● Bookworm since he studies old tomes he’s collected from the Gubal Library during some of Sugis’ forays, yet while he does not have a collection of tomes to amount Sugis’, his collection sums to an estimate of sixty.
:: ● a literal Scholar, while that may be preferred healing job in duties, he tends to overly study past civilizations. He has recently taken an interest in the War of the Magi and regularly conducts expeditions to the Yafaem saltmoors for Mhach and the Wanderer’s Palace to communicate with the tonberries of Nym, if he manages to find a sane tonberry.
:: ● Chocobo.
: ■ If given a million dollars, what would your OC do?
:: “Dollars? Is that a currency? The only common currency used across Eorzea is gil, so I’ll assume the question will refer to gil.”
:: William upon given a million gil will immediately donate a quarter to his family for however his father seems fit, a quarter to his free company to fund their move from their current base of a cottage in the Lavender Beds into a mansion of appealing scenary, a quarter to the Adventurer’s Guild for showing how even a Warrior of Light can make his start with them, and the remaining quarter for himself for various luxuries for his private house (totally not decorating it fully in chocobo decor).

: ■"Rumor has it that William deals in shady blackmarket business what with multiplw people seeing him go into the Kevade Mansion so often...."
:: While that may appear so, his business at the mansion is strictly personal! He considers the “Void” officers friends! While Suvi is verbally annoyed by his jokes, William notices a smirk followed by disbelief upon his face. On occasion, he may give business advice, as he runs his free company. While he stays out of specific business details, he cares not for whatever “shady” business is conducted, yet refuses to get involved in actual dealings. Although on one instance, he proposed that Suvi hire William’s older brother to do some secretarial work.
: William's memories of Sugis
:: ⭐️ One memory of William remembers is the day they first met in a duty to clear the first hall of Dzemael Darkhold. William on occasion tells Sugis how he both regrets and is grateful for that encounter.
:: ⭐️ No matter what’s happening, whether it be a dangerous raid or utter nonsense, William and Sugis will not hesitate to be sarcastic and sassy to each other.
:: ⭐️ William will not step one foot inside Sugis’ house. He once did and he was frightened by the sheer number of books in her house. Her house would put the Gubal Library out of business.
:: ⭐️ How many puns does it take for William to get on Sugis’s nerves. A skele-ton. She’d punish him, but that in itself would be helping his situation.
: Sugis' memories of William
:: ⭐️ Despite a slight age gap, and the fact that Will is /technically an adult/ Sugis still treats him like a child when it comes to his safety.
:: ⭐️ Sugis quit drinking due to something that happened involving dungeon crawling, Will pressuring a drunken Ishgardian Dragoon to “Do It”, and multiple Gas Bombs.
:: ⭐️ She likes to tease him, lightheartedly, about girls and when he’s gonna start dating to fluster him.
:: ⭐️ If there was a gil for every time she shouted “You’re grounded” to Will… She’d probably be rich(er).
:: ⭐️ Sugis takes the more serious marks for hunts and mercenary related stuff because she doesn’t want to see Will get hurt.
===Riaa Alteir===
: Riaa's memories of William
:: ⭐️ Riaa thinks that William is quite silly, but she appreciates it. Most people are too serious so it’s a nice change. She especially likes the OH JEEZ
:: ⭐️ to the point now where Riaa gleefully joins in on the OH JEEZ as well. She isn’t too bothered if it’s bugging anybody, but she’s definately having fun with it, and figures if SHE’S having fun with it then William must also be having fun too and YAY FUN.
:: ⭐️ She likes his hat. Not any specific one, just all of them. (Riaa really likes the chocobo head though, she thinks it’s hilarious.)
:: ⭐️ (Weed-Lizard) After the pixie stix incident, Mariko is worried about the purity of her candy, and as such double-triple checks that it’s not got anything else in. She’s also a bit worried that William managed to get tweaked out like that. On candy. How even…?
===Darius Kinkaid===
: Darius' memories of William
:: ⭐️ Darius knows about William through his subordinate, Ringabel [Sugis]. He’s heard nothing but good things, but is convinced William lives in a constant state of thinking everyone is going to die in an instant.
:: ⭐️ Darius also believes William was a chocobo in a past life.
:: ⭐️ When they first met, them two didn’t speak much outside of momentary jokes and the like, but they both soon found out they both read stories about a fictional group of heroes. The first book in question? “Red Helm and the Vandals.” There are other books, but William is convinced Darius idolizes this “Red Helm” character. He’s not absolutely wrong.
:: ⭐️ Since finding out about his sister, Darius has attended every small party William and his Free Company has thrown. The scholar in question is the only person who knows Darius disguises himself as an entertainer in a Vanu Vanu outfit.
:: ⭐️ William is constantly forgetting who Darius is, claiming he had seen him before in outlandish roles and places. It is unknown if William just does this to try and get inside Darius’s head or if it’s honestly forgetfulness.
:: ⭐️ Darius and William finally became friends when a mishap occurred while questing. They both had said “Oh Jeez” at the same time, rendering odd looks from both parties.

:'''Logan Holden''' is a Warrior of Light hailing from Moraby Bay, where he grew up with a fisherman father and a Yellowjacket mother, alongside his fraternal twin Cherise. He left home after a series of dreams began to press themselves into his mind, including while he was wide awake. His sister decided to join him, and together the pair left for Ul'dah. From there he learned to fight while being a member of the Gladiator's Guild, and his eagerness to assist any who needed it was a valuable asset as a member of the Adventurer's Guild, and eventually he was given the offer to join the Scions of the Seventh Dawn. After joining, he ended up captured and facing tempering by the Amalj'aa primal, Ifrit, but found himself immune. Since then he's grown as a warrior, and began leading a small group of Scions, later forming the Free Company Awoken Wanderers with them, and becoming known as a Warrior of Light.

:Unknown to Logan, his early skill with fighting, his aetherpool, and connection to Hydaelyn comes from the soul of a Warrior of Light that was lost and otherwise forgotten after Bahamut released his barrage against Eorzea, an Elezen known as Lusiel Coydan. While they have no direct connection, Logan has become aware of her presence, and often does she manage to send him small amounts of knowledge or feelings about people or places she's seen. He also has a heavy empathetic connection to his Echo visions, and can acutely feel the emotions of those he sees in his visions. He never forgets them, and should he dwell on them too much, they will return in full force, which is something he often has to guard against.





==Free Company: Awoken Wanderers==
: The Awoken Wanderers were formed by Logan and his group of adventuring friends to create a home for both them, and give them a banner under which to go by when not acting within the confines of the Scions of the Seventh Dawn. It's main goal is to help assist and train adventurers, helping them learn the dangers of adventuring and how to get ahead in the Adventurer's Guild.

==Logan's Typical Inventory==
'''Last updated:''' N/A
: - Items

=Appearance=
[[File:Logan holden causal.png|right|350px]]
'''Height:''' 5 fulms 11 ilms

'''Weight:''' 186 ponz

'''Complexion: ''' Fair.

'''Hair: ''' Dark brown.

'''Eyes: ''' Dark brown.

: Logan's just above average height, with wide shoulders, and lots of muscle from hefting around his armour and shield, as well as putting them to use quite often. You'd be hard pressed to see them, aside from those on his arms, but Logan's covered in many small scrapes and scars from his many battles, though nothing that hasn't been able to be healed up for the most part. His hair is thick and soft, his eyes watchful, and his face looking like he's either very focused or a little upset, unless he's actively trying to look happy.

=Behavior=
=== '''''Behavior''''' ===
: Logan does his best to always be respectful of others upon meeting them, and generally stays quiet and lets them talk, until he's required to speak. When he is, he tends to answer in the shortest form possible, and often stammers through words until he can get a feel of the person and the conversation.
: When with people he trusts and feels comfortable with, he's far more open and enjoys telling jokes, stories, and listening to others. Even still, you'll often find him on his own, or to one side, as being around a lot of people can make him uncomfortable after long periods of time. He enjoys his quieter time to himself quite a bit.
: Logan is incredibly hard to make angry, though he may feign annoyance and frustration to give what he assumes is the desired reaction from a joke. He always makes sure you know when he's serious, and he hopes he'll get your attention as much as he'd give you his.
: The only time you'll see Logan honestly upset or angry is towards those who don't understand how to take care of others, or those who have betrayed or hurt people. He has little tolerance for the evils of the world, and holds fast to the phrase "do unto others as you would have them do unto you".
: If possible, Logan will prevent the death of any intelligent being, from the Elezen of Isghard to the Kobolds of La Noscea, putting his shield and sword pommel to good use. He does, however, accept that Eorzea is embroiled in violent conflicts, and that peaceful solutions are not always possible, and is willing to kill if necessary.

=== '''''Fears''''' ===
: ■ Ever since the Calamity, Logan's been scared of dragons. After being introduced to the more peaceful side of dragons in Dravania, his fear has lessened, but they can still make him heavily uneasy.
: ■ Being in a leadership position among his friends and even Eorzea, he's terrified of failure and letting down those who hold him to such a high standard.

===Preferences===
: Logan's ideal is someone who's willing to trust him, and open themselves to the same trust. Someone who's willing to work with him to create a solid relationship, knowing they'll have problems, but ready to work through them. He expects to have children and looks forward to raising a family.
: That said, he ended up infatuated with the mysterious Miqo'te, Aiko Slanda, who appeared early in his journey away from home. While she doesn't seem to fit his ideals at all, he nonetheless fell for her, knowing that as much as she needed the stability he was sure he could provide, but that she might hold a key to pushing him forward as a person, and to experience life to its fullest.

An optional blurb about how your character looks and behaves during combat.

=== '''''Weapons''''' ===
William is currently learning the ways of nearly all disciplines and to their advanced job. If he had the choice, he would remain healing, and would rather stay away from the battle's front. Overtime, William learned to embrace the inevitable moment of conflict and thus began apprenticing the many disciplines. Some disciplines interest William enough to even put forth more time into mastering the techniques. The weapons William uses in conflict are as follows:[[File:wf_270_scholar_relic_anabis.jpg|right|500px]]

: ■Shielding magic.
: ■Embrace by the Echo
: ■Aetheric channeling

=== '''''Crafting''''' ===
As he was still making a name for himself before becoming a Warrior of Light, he would partake in the work of alchemy. He has always enjoyed the act of making elixers to assist his allies with enhancing their abilities or replenishing their vigor. As of late, William has temporarily retired the craft of alchemy simply to put other needs forward. In order for him to advance his skills of alchemy, he must learn the ways of other crafts to further his own skills. He is currently working on learning the ways of the goldsmithing, leatherworking, and smithing in order to learn the technique to self-repair his gear that is composed of such craft.

=== '''''Talents''''' ===
: ■Summoning of each egi and faerie together at a time, yet not in combat.
: ■Taught his gaelikitten to retrieve objects on command.
: ■Proficient in archery to be able to shoot three arrows at once at a target.

=Background=
: “My name is William Fedorason.
: For years I have faced a major calamity with only one goal:
: To save my realm. Now others have joined with me in my company.
: To them, I am William, but to the rest of Eorzea,
: I am the Warrior of Light.”

:: -From a letter to Ser Aymeric de Borel in regards to assisting in the Dragonsong War.
=== ''Birth and childhood (0-10)'' ===
: Born William Chambers in the year 1560 of the Sixth Astral Era, he was raised within the hamlet of Hyrstmill of the northern Shroud. His parents are Solmunder Chambers, a well decorated Wood Wailer, and Athilda Chambers, a skilled conjurer for the Twin Adders. He has two older brothers, Piers Chambers, who's a moderate archer and only 9 years older, and Roderick Arrowe, his half-brother who's was a skilled archer among the Gods' Bow and now a secretary for the free company of <<VOID>>. At young age, archery interested him a great deal. His father would craft him his own bow and dulled arrows to play with. Though he was no good, he still enjoyed it no matter what. Whenever William would injure himself when he plays outside, his mother always use her skills of conjury to cure his wounds. Over time, William learned to cure on his own, but not much more conjury than that.
=== ''Adolescent Years'' ===
: As William grew, he met his now best friends in Old Gridania. At the age of eleven, he was tasked to travel to the city to pick up some seeds and tools from the Botanist's Guild to replenish his family's farm. When the guildmaster unfortunately stated there were no such seeds available for pickup, there was an Elezen kid who was also purchasing seeds who had came before him. He had noticed the despair in William's face and gave him a portion of his seeds. He had introduced himself as Brandon. Days passed and they would meet up to hang out, and William was introduced to Brandon's friends: Tyler Ultimathule, an Elezen, and Aries Xela, a Miqo'te who was typically called Alex. The four of them would become inseparable over time.
: William had minimal previous magical encounters. He once came across an altercation between the Sharlayan Circle of Knowing and a dark robed Mage. Apparently there was a surge of aetheric energy coming from near the Ehcatl 9 tribe, the docile Ixali group. William, only twelve at the time, was out gathering some firewood when the Mage confronted him. Frightened, William was cornered into a cavern. He noticed the Mage preparing to cast some magical attack, but was cut short when a Miqote conjurer, Highlander pugilist, and a Lalafellan thaumaturge confronted him. The Mage directed his attacks to hit the pugilist as some magic deflected off her and hit William instead. The conjurer came to his aid and cured his wounds. She remained by his side as the thaumaturge managed to harm the Mage. The Mage soon dissipated away. The three heroes of the hour introduced themselves as Y'shtola, Yda, and Papalymo respectively. They mentioned to William to contact them whenever there is a similar issue in the future. They dedicated there life to protecting the innocent from the forces of darkness saving the realm from calamity. From that day forward, William decided to become an adventurer and aspired to become like them, for he could discern true heroism within them.
====The Calamity Strikes====
: With word of the "Meteor Project" coming to the light of the Eorzean Alliance, the grand companies and allied free companies took up arms to defend the Carteneau Flats from the Garlean menace. William's parents both took up arms to fight with the Twin Adders. At home, William was sitting outside his cottage with his brothers watching the slow descent of the false moon. Though he and Piers never truly saw eye to eye, this may be the only time when they are united. His friends had shown up to wait out the world’s immenent demise. William felt powerless. He wanted to do something about the inevitable calamity that would affect his quaint hamlet. He saw the enormous cracks forming upon Dalamud and something spoke to him inside his head.
:: “Save them later. Be…a…hero…”
: The voice felt as if someone was echoing right behind him, yet when he turned around to check, there was only a dissipating mist. He had asked to his friends around if they heard anything nearby, but they denied. William looked back up to the falling moon as it suddenly bursts as the Dreadwyrm breaks free. William and his friends stand up in shock as Bahamut ravages the land. The first thought to pop in William’s head was the Circle of Knowing that he had met a month prior. He had hoped they would save the realm from total annihilation. William noticed the people around him either crying or standing in complete shock. He notice one man pick up his young daughter and held her tight saying “Everything will be alright sometime soon.” He could see a hunk of the false moon fall near the southern border of the North Shroud. Suddenly a flash of white bright light covers the realm. Soon after, the Dreadwyrm disappears without a trace. Eorzea, a realm reborn out of a tragic calamity, needs a hero.

====A Family in Shambles====
: It has been five hours since the disappearance of Bahamut and William and his brothers are waiting anxiously for their parents to return. It was about the middle of the night when Roderick noticed a tired man carrying a woman in his arms. He trudged toward the cottage and as the light shined on his face, it was their father with tears flooding from his eyes. Roderick yelled for Piers and William to wake up. William came immediately outside and saw his father carrying his mother in his arms. William promptly yelled for his mother to wake up. With tears trailing from his eyes, he attempted to cast Cure on her, but to no avail. He attempted to execute a spell he has been learning, Raise. For a slight moment, he had heard the voice from before, but was indistinguishable. By the grace of the Twelve, his mother's eyes opened. She was awake, but not for long. She could speak, but she was very weak. Solmunder was speechless to witness such a temporary miracle. Athilda knew she would be passing soon, so she gave each a hug and a kiss. She told them all to be well and live happy whilst urging to remain together. Her last breath passed as she took hold on to William's hand before losing her grip on her mortal coil.
: Weeks passed after the passing of Athilda and Piers took excile from his Gridanian home to move to Limsa Lominsa for a new life. With two family members being gone from the home, only Solmunder, Roderick, and William remained. Solmunder tried to remain cheerful in the times of grief, yet he is always reminded of the dreadful day of the Calamity. Rod took notice of his father's decline in strength and mobility over time. He believed it to be caused by the grief and the PTSD from the moment Athilda's life started slipping. Rod thought to move the family to start over. Within two months, the family moved out of Hyrstmill and into the Lavender Beds. Once settled in, Rod taught William archery in the yard of their new home. Needless to say, William's skills advanced fairly over time.
: Years passed and Piers returned home from his travels in Vylbrand. In that time, Piers worked part time as a bow-for-hire and fell for a Miqo'te girl. Over time, they got a house, yet she would mooch gil off of Piers and eventually kicked Piers out of "their" house for an Auri girl. Defeated, he returned home. He had found the location of the new family home and noticed William practicing archery. Piers took pride in his skills of archery and believed he should be the best archer in the family, although he does not care whether Rod was good or not for some reason. As he came around the corner, he noticed William hit a bullseye thrice in a row. Piers' resent for William was reignited. For months they would have petty competitions too see who was the better archer.
: When William was about 15, he and Piers had one of their usual archery competitions. After each round, William was always closer to the center than Piers. At a moment when William was ready to shoot his next arrow at the target, Piers yelled out that he cheats each time. As he was ranting aloud, William shrugged it off until he could no longer. Piers then accused William that he was never really loved by his mother, such that it was all out of pity. William could not hold back much longer and as he released the arrow from the bow, he immediately turned to Piers to tell him off, yet the arrow was still in the bowstring. The arrow managed to hit the bullseye, but not on the target and instead in Piers' left eye. He fell to the ground screaming and writhing in pain. Piers yelled obscenities and slurs toward William. William considered taking out his wand to cure Piers, but he fled the yard instead. He returned about 75 minutes later to the house to see Piers passed out in the living room with the arrow still in the eye. William attempted to cure the eye. As he casted the spell, he slowly remove the arrow from Piers' eye. He noticed Piers' body relax some and soon woke up. Piers woke up wondering why he felt no pain rubbing his eyes. He opened his eyes and rubbed his left eye some more. He could see out his right but not in his left. Starting to panic, he ran to a mirror nearby , nearly tripping on a stool. He looked in the mirror to see his left eye foggy. Piers was blind in his left eye. Piers screamed out in horror and blamed William that he could never practice archery again. In the morning, Piers was gone and was not heard from again, officially.

=== ''Adulthood'' ===
====The Beginnings of an Adventurer====
: At the age of sixteen, after all the years following tragedy after tragedy, William finally prepared to set off for Gridania. On the day before he sets off for an adventurer's life, he prepared his bow, one made by his father. He had wondered whether or not fame would come for him quickly as his family name is of Chambers. He does not want to easily be significant as the "Son of Solmunder Chambers". He went to his father for advice upon the matter and contemplated whether going by another name should suffice. Solmunder sat him down next to him and took his old fedora off and plopped onto William's head. He told him how he should do what he feels is right and never look back. He agreed wholeheartedly with William considering to go by another name. He even told him a little story..
:: "Aye Will, ye listen close. Once upon eh time there was eh young Lominsan lad who lived amongst eh family of ruthless 'n coldhearted killehs 'n theives. 'E was forced to join th' crew iffen 'e wants some grub and eh night's rest. 'Pon the day of 'is eighteenth nameday, 'e mustered 'is courage t' leave 'is godsforsaken home, iffen it could be called eh home. 'E took to th' ports of Limsa Lominsa 'n 'e found eh small cargo ship to th' mainland 'o Aldenard. 'E arrived en Vesper Bay where 'e could 'ear some word of eh trip to th' Shroud. Now 'e was quite skilled en the disciplines of archery 'n spearin', so Gridania was quite th' place for harnessin' 'is skills. 'E took the first journey to th' Shroud and landed en th' Adventurer's Guild. They at th' time were-eh pryin' for th' lad's name. 'E could not take aftah 'is true name, for 'e could be eithah arrested by th' Serpents or found by 'is twisted family! 'Is 'eart was racin' so 'e scrubbed off o' 'is last name for 'is new name. Chambers. See lad, for 'e was I. When I was at 'bout ye' age for even I was at ye' place. I needed t' make eh name for me-self. 'N that I did, lad. I rose the to th' tops o' ranks of th' Wailers n' I even met ye motheh. She'd be quite proud of ye decision. Take 'tis hat wit' ye wherever ye go. 'Tis nice for th' formal nights 'n even was what ye motheh noticed first of me!"
: William had not known of his father's history before the Wailers before now. He took the fancy hat and packed it in his suitcase with his other clothes. He grabbed his old wand and placed it near his bow when his brother came to see him. He had been practicing archery everyday to prepare for this moment. Rod wished him luck for his journeys ahead and urged him to never give up when things seems hard.

::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "My mother is my true inspiration to why I remain healing. It's what she would have wanted.."</div>
:::: Athilda was born in the streets of Ul'Dah, not knowing her true family. She would be a thief in order to get a meal, occasionaly stealing from the marketplace. One day, the grocer took notice of her actions and let the game continue for a while until she confronted her. Athilda, being scared of being arrested, attempted to run, yet was caught immediately. The grocer caught her by the Weavers' Guild and inquired about her life. She told her that she had no home, no family, and no food. Without a second thought, the grocer took her in and raised her. The grocer's name was Petra Arrowe. As she grew older, Athilda, moved to the Shroud to make a name for herself. She thanked her foster mother for everything she's done for her and stayed in touch.
::::Before her marriage to William's father, she gave birth to Roderick, William's oldest brother, yet she was rather promiscuous during her twenties, so Roderick's biological father is unknown but assumed to be a Gods' Quiver archer. Having changed her ways, she found Solmunder eight years later and fell in love and married. They had their first son together Piers and then nine years later their second son William. Athilda lived her life as conjurer for the Twin Adders. Both she and Solmunder were fighting with the Grand Companies at Cartenau against the Garlean menace before the Calamity struck. Solmunder fought valiantly and took many Garlean lives with Athilda alongside him. As they were taking out the enemy, Athilda was caught blindsided and was slew by an Imperial Laquearius. Solmunder was filled with rage and pierced the Laquearius through its heart. Solmunder survived the battle and returned home to his children after the Calamity struck and informed them of the tragic news. William took it hardest of all. Only being twelve at the time of this calamity, he was really close to his mother and she would show him conjury tricks. Whenever William heals for his party, he always thinks of his mother guiding him through to victory..

When he became eighteen years of age, he mustered the courage to hitch a ship to Aldenard without saying one word to his family. He arrived in Vesper Bay and changed his name to Chambers, for slight differentiation from his family. He trekked to the Shroud in hopes to learn either archery or lancing; upon his arrival to Gridania, he learned the latter. He became skilled quickly enough for one of the Wood Wailers to take notice and suggest him to be a private among them. For many years he was an esteemed Wood Wailer and caught the eye of a fan, Athilda. They met at the Carline Canopy when Solmunder was off duty and Athilda noticed him. She approached him commending him for his valor in protecting the Shroud and immediately hit it off. They would always make jokes with each other with Solmunder always cracking horrible puns, yet Athilda laughed anyways. Athilda's nickname for Solmunder was "Sully" and although he wasn't too fond of it, it did not bother him either way; His nickname for her was Thillie and she liked it. They worked together roaming the Shroud, vanquishing any threat to Gridania with Athilda supporting Sully as he fought head-on.

:::: After the passing of his wife, Solmunder tried to keep his joy alive by providing for their children. Sully was only in his early forties yet became weak at holding his lance for long. Roderick, who was proficient at archery, joined the Gods' Bow to provide coin for the family. Sully, being grateful for Rod's generosity, officially retired his lance and stayed at home to tend to the family crops. William loved his father dearly and would always assist him when Sully is unable to move around. William talked to his father about leaving to provide even more for his family. William even mentioned desiring to change his surname to became notable for his own deeds, not his father's. Solmunder was quite the opposite of being disappointed and gave William a big hug and told him he was proud of that decision and mentioned his own story of coming to Aldenard. To this day, William provides 45 percent of his earnings to his family and visits home every now and then. His father is his inspiration for whenever William cracks a silly pun and would think of him every time he does.
: ■♦Piers Chambers, (Brother)
:: [[File:Piers_Chambers.jpg|right|250px|Piers Chambers]]
::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "Piers and I never really saw eye to eye. He always tried to rival me in archery, even when his accuracy was low.."</div>
:::: Piers is the middle child in the Chambers' family and felt he was only treated as such. He felt so much praise until William was born, and from then on he tended to resent him. William tried to show his love for his brother, but was never noticed. So he simply gave up and did not care for him. When their mother was killed in battle, there was even more disgust between the brothers. Piers always thought their mother favored William over him and he was filled with anger. Soon after, Piers left for Limsa Lominsa to get away from the family for a while. He had hoped his excile will cure his anger. In the meantime, Roderick taught William archery and became a prodigy at it. A few years passed and Piers returned home having made minor success and lost it all when he fell for a Miqo'te courtesan. He thought she truly loved him so he gave her a home in the Mist for them to live together. However, she mooched off gil after gil until she had the deed of the house and kicked him out for an Auri girl. He had but no choice to return home.

:::: Upon his return to Hyrstmill, he had noticed that the family had moved out of the hamlet and into a house in the Lavender Beds. When he found where the family was living at, he noticed William practicing archery in the yard with a target. He noticed William hit a bullseye with each shot. Piers did not like how William was better at archery than he and this refueled his anger. For the years to follow, they would pointlessly compete at archery. During one of these competitions, Piers blew a gasket and accused William of cheating everytime. William, unable to keep his cool, was about to make a shot at the target and turned to tell off Piers, but the arrow was released. The arrow flew and pierced Piers in the eye. Piers, writhing in pain screamed out obscenities toward William. William, knowing the conjury spell Cure, could have healed Piers if done immediately, but ran in fear. He came back home that night attempting to cure Piers' pain. The pain was gone, but Piers could never see in his left eye again. To this day, Piers is somewhere in Ul'Dah with his exact whereabouts unknown. William would once in a while recieve death threats from an anonymous sender, yet he could always recognize Piers' penmanship.
: ■Roderick Arrowe, (Half-Brother)
:: [[File:Roderick_Arrowe.jpg|right|250px|Roderick Arrowe]]
::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "Rod has always been a wonderful teacher in archery! We both show each other new tricks from time to time!"</div>
:::: Rod grew up never knowing who his real father was, as his mother was promiscuous when he was conceived.

=Prompts=
==F.A.Q.'s==
: ■ Does your character have siblings or family members in their age group? Which one are they closest with?
:: William’s two siblings have a big age gap from William, with Piers being 9 years older and Rod being 17 years older. William is not remotely close to Piers any way. They have had too much bad blood over the years. Rod however remains very close to William, as he first taught him archery as he became a novice. Any other relatives are unknown as his father came from a family of pirates and his mother grew up in the streets of Ul’Dah.
: ■ What is/was your character’s relationship with their mother like?
:: While she was still alive, she would always tell William stories of her adventures with his father each night as a child. William loved his mother dearly such that she is the true reason he kept healing. She taught him the basic heal Cure as a child. There were several instances where he became so flustered, he considered retiring his codex. Yet he remembered his mother would never give up in the heat of battle, so neither should he.
: ■ What is/was your character’s relationship with their father like?
:: His relationship to his father is quite as loving as his relationship to his mother! Before Rod was actually teaching William archery, it was his father who gave him his first bow and arrow set. Even thouch his father was adept lancing, he had knew archery as well. When he presented William his own set, at roughly nine years old, his father demonstrated archery to him by taking three arrows from a quiver, placing each in his bow, and accurately shot the bullseye! William’s face was filled with awe and his love for archery began. His father’s jokes also rubbed off onto William, which eventually became everyone else’s misfortune. Every cracked pun blossomed from the sole purpose to simply make everyone happy, as his father made him.
: ■ Has your character ever witnessed something that fundamentally changed them? If so, does anyone else know?
:: A year into William’s travels, having been months since he became a Warrior of Light, he was assisting the historical scholars of NOAH with emergence of the Crystal Tower. William was mainly a user of white magic and was hesitant to pick up a new skill at the time. He was tasked with preventing the realm becoming a World of Darkness. There was another healer in his group, one whose techniques differed from his own. He had not seen a healer perform abilities like these before. In duty, William took notice that their Warrior was taking too much damage at a point for William to replenish health quick enough. The Warrior got weak enough to the point where William was forced to grant him Benediction. The other healer managed to take over the main healing and was granting him aetheric shields to nullify incoming damage. William was astounded to see such a trick done in battle. After the duty was complete, he asked the other healer in the group where he learned such skills; he told him to find Alka Zolka and ask her the ways of the Nymian Scholar. Henceforth, he dedicated his following days studying the abilities of a Scholar in battle and became an adept Scholar under the great Nymian Scholar Surito Carito.
: ■ On an average day, what can be found in your character’s pockets?
:: Usually pocket lint.
: ■ What does your OC look for in a friend? Do they value friendship a lot?
:: What William finds for in a friend is someone who he is able to put his trust into, someone who he knows respects him as he to them, and someone who can put up with all of his dang shenanigans! Does he value friendship? Are chocobo couriers actually yellow chocobos splathered with tar? Yes! Friendship means everything to William and never wants to sever ties with someone he has grown see as a friend.
: ■ Is there a place they go to in order to escape the world, the stresses of life? What’s their favourite place?
:: Whenever William feels stressed from either a poor dungeon dive or surrounded by plenty of drama, he either resides within the study of his home to review over past tomes or journeys to Tailfeather to surround himself with the chocobos within their natural habitat. Either resolution renders William at peace.
: ■ What are concepts they value? Virtues? What do they look down upon?
:: William values the safety of his friends at all times within a duty. Whether he chooses to be the designated healer or a bard, he refuses to allow his party to fail, or even perish. He also values his friends above all else. As his virtues, William selects loyalty, as in to each other, and family, as in he places his family above everything else, whether it be his blood family or his friends who he looks to as a family. William looks down upon a betrayal of trust. He finds it very hard to mend broken ties, yet can turn the other cheek if necessary.
: ■Do they have a guilty conscience? Why? Did they ever do something they totally regretted?
:: William is as innocent as he’s going to get. He totally does not enact shenanigans in public as the Chocobo. What if he was the Chocobo? He would not regret it one bit. He finds it hilarious to be stared at when he conducts his weekly foray into Issom-Har in his chocobo suit. However the most shenanigans he would openly admit to would be shuffling up Sugis’ books. Yet he really needs to learn to conduct his prank while she isn’t home..
: ■ What are Tropes you associate with your muse?
:: ● Bookworm since he studies old tomes he’s collected from the Gubal Library during some of Sugis’ forays, yet while he does not have a collection of tomes to amount Sugis’, his collection sums to an estimate of sixty.
:: ● a literal Scholar, while that may be preferred healing job in duties, he tends to overly study past civilizations. He has recently taken an interest in the War of the Magi and regularly conducts expeditions to the Yafaem saltmoors for Mhach and the Wanderer’s Palace to communicate with the tonberries of Nym, if he manages to find a sane tonberry.
:: ● Chocobo.
: ■ If given a million dollars, what would your OC do?
:: “Dollars? Is that a currency? The only common currency used across Eorzea is gil, so I’ll assume the question will refer to gil.”
:: William upon given a million gil will immediately donate a quarter to his family for however his father seems fit, a quarter to his free company to fund their move from their current base of a cottage in the Lavender Beds into a mansion of appealing scenary, a quarter to the Adventurer’s Guild for showing how even a Warrior of Light can make his start with them, and the remaining quarter for himself for various luxuries for his private house (totally not decorating it fully in chocobo decor).
==Other O.C.'s Relationships==
===Sugis Kevade===
: ■"Rumor has it that William deals in shady blackmarket business what with multiplw people seeing him go into the Kevade Mansion so often...."
:: While that may appear so, his business at the mansion is strictly personal! He considers the “Void” officers friends! While Suvi is verbally annoyed by his jokes, William notices a smirk followed by disbelief upon his face. On occasion, he may give business advice, as he runs his free company. While he stays out of specific business details, he cares not for whatever “shady” business is conducted, yet refuses to get involved in actual dealings. Although on one instance, he proposed that Suvi hire William’s older brother to do some secretarial work.
: William's memories of Sugis
:: ⭐️ One memory of William remembers is the day they first met in a duty to clear the first hall of Dzemael Darkhold. William on occasion tells Sugis how he both regrets and is grateful for that encounter.
:: ⭐️ No matter what’s happening, whether it be a dangerous raid or utter nonsense, William and Sugis will not hesitate to be sarcastic and sassy to each other.
:: ⭐️ William will not step one foot inside Sugis’ house. He once did and he was frightened by the sheer number of books in her house. Her house would put the Gubal Library out of business.
:: ⭐️ How many puns does it take for William to get on Sugis’s nerves. A skele-ton. She’d punish him, but that in itself would be helping his situation.
: Sugis' memories of William
:: ⭐️ Despite a slight age gap, and the fact that Will is /technically an adult/ Sugis still treats him like a child when it comes to his safety.
:: ⭐️ Sugis quit drinking due to something that happened involving dungeon crawling, Will pressuring a drunken Ishgardian Dragoon to “Do It”, and multiple Gas Bombs.
:: ⭐️ She likes to tease him, lightheartedly, about girls and when he’s gonna start dating to fluster him.
:: ⭐️ If there was a gil for every time she shouted “You’re grounded” to Will… She’d probably be rich(er).
:: ⭐️ Sugis takes the more serious marks for hunts and mercenary related stuff because she doesn’t want to see Will get hurt.
===Riaa Alteir===
: Riaa's memories of William
:: ⭐️ Riaa thinks that William is quite silly, but she appreciates it. Most people are too serious so it’s a nice change. She especially likes the OH JEEZ
:: ⭐️ to the point now where Riaa gleefully joins in on the OH JEEZ as well. She isn’t too bothered if it’s bugging anybody, but she’s definately having fun with it, and figures if SHE’S having fun with it then William must also be having fun too and YAY FUN.
:: ⭐️ She likes his hat. Not any specific one, just all of them. (Riaa really likes the chocobo head though, she thinks it’s hilarious.)
:: ⭐️ (Weed-Lizard) After the pixie stix incident, Mariko is worried about the purity of her candy, and as such double-triple checks that it’s not got anything else in. She’s also a bit worried that William managed to get tweaked out like that. On candy. How even…?
===Darius Kinkaid===
: Darius' memories of William
:: ⭐️ Darius knows about William through his subordinate, Ringabel [Sugis]. He’s heard nothing but good things, but is convinced William lives in a constant state of thinking everyone is going to die in an instant.
:: ⭐️ Darius also believes William was a chocobo in a past life.
:: ⭐️ When they first met, them two didn’t speak much outside of momentary jokes and the like, but they both soon found out they both read stories about a fictional group of heroes. The first book in question? “Red Helm and the Vandals.” There are other books, but William is convinced Darius idolizes this “Red Helm” character. He’s not absolutely wrong.
:: ⭐️ Since finding out about his sister, Darius has attended every small party William and his Free Company has thrown. The scholar in question is the only person who knows Darius disguises himself as an entertainer in a Vanu Vanu outfit.
:: ⭐️ William is constantly forgetting who Darius is, claiming he had seen him before in outlandish roles and places. It is unknown if William just does this to try and get inside Darius’s head or if it’s honestly forgetfulness.
:: ⭐️ Darius and William finally became friends when a mishap occurred while questing. They both had said “Oh Jeez” at the same time, rendering odd looks from both parties.

:'''Logan Holden''' is a Warrior of Light hailing from Moraby Bay, where he grew up with a fisherman father and a Yellowjacket mother, alongside his fraternal twin Cherise. He left home after a series of dreams began to press themselves into his mind, including while he was wide awake. His sister decided to join him, and together the pair left for Ul'dah. From there he learned to fight while being a member of the Gladiator's Guild, and his eagerness to assist any who needed it was a valuable asset as a member of the Adventurer's Guild, and eventually he was given the offer to join the Scions of the Seventh Dawn. After joining, he ended up captured and facing tempering by the Amalj'aa primal, Ifrit, but found himself immune. Since then he's grown as a warrior, and began leading a small group of Scions, later forming the Free Company Awoken Wanderers with them, and becoming known as a Warrior of Light.

:Unknown to Logan, his early skill with fighting, his aetherpool, and connection to Hydaelyn comes from the soul of a Warrior of Light that was lost and otherwise forgotten after Bahamut released his barrage against Eorzea, an Elezen known as Lusiel Coydan. While they have no direct connection, Logan has become aware of her presence, and often does she manage to send him small amounts of knowledge or feelings about people or places she's seen. He also has a heavy empathetic connection to his Echo visions, and can acutely feel the emotions of those he sees in his visions. He never forgets them, and should he dwell on them too much, they will return in full force, which is something he often has to guard against.





==Free Company: Awoken Wanderers==
: The Awoken Wanderers were formed by Logan and his group of adventuring friends to create a home for both them, and give them a banner under which to go by when not acting within the confines of the Scions of the Seventh Dawn. It's main goal is to help assist and train adventurers, helping them learn the dangers of adventuring and how to get ahead in the Adventurer's Guild.

==Logan's Typical Inventory==
'''Last updated:''' N/A
: - Items

=Appearance=
[[File:Logan holden causal.png|right|350px]]
'''Height:''' 5 fulms 11 ilms

'''Weight:''' 186 ponz

'''Complexion: ''' Fair.

'''Hair: ''' Dark brown.

'''Eyes: ''' Dark brown.

: Logan's just above average height, with wide shoulders, and lots of muscle from hefting around his armour and shield, as well as putting them to use quite often. You'd be hard pressed to see them, aside from those on his arms, but Logan's covered in many small scrapes and scars from his many battles, though nothing that hasn't been able to be healed up for the most part. His hair is thick and soft, his eyes watchful, and his face looking like he's either very focused or a little upset, unless he's actively trying to look happy.

=Behavior=
=== '''''Behavior''''' ===
: Logan does his best to always be respectful of others upon meeting them, and generally stays quiet and lets them talk, until he's required to speak. When he is, he tends to answer in the shortest form possible, and often stammers through words until he can get a feel of the person and the conversation.
: When with people he trusts and feels comfortable with, he's far more open and enjoys telling jokes, stories, and listening to others. Even still, you'll often find him on his own, or to one side, as being around a lot of people can make him uncomfortable after long periods of time. He enjoys his quieter time to himself quite a bit.
: Logan is incredibly hard to make angry, though he may feign annoyance and frustration to give what he assumes is the desired reaction from a joke. He always makes sure you know when he's serious, and he hopes he'll get your attention as much as he'd give you his.
: The only time you'll see Logan honestly upset or angry is towards those who don't understand how to take care of others, or those who have betrayed or hurt people. He has little tolerance for the evils of the world, and holds fast to the phrase "do unto others as you would have them do unto you".
: If possible, Logan will prevent the death of any intelligent being, from the Elezen of Isghard to the Kobolds of La Noscea, putting his shield and sword pommel to good use. He does, however, accept that Eorzea is embroiled in violent conflicts, and that peaceful solutions are not always possible, and is willing to kill if necessary.

=== '''''Fears''''' ===
: ■ Ever since the Calamity, Logan's been scared of dragons. After being introduced to the more peaceful side of dragons in Dravania, his fear has lessened, but they can still make him heavily uneasy.
: ■ Being in a leadership position among his friends and even Eorzea, he's terrified of failure and letting down those who hold him to such a high standard.

===Preferences===
: Logan's ideal is someone who's willing to trust him, and open themselves to the same trust. Someone who's willing to work with him to create a solid relationship, knowing they'll have problems, but ready to work through them. He expects to have children and looks forward to raising a family.
: That said, he ended up infatuated with the mysterious Miqo'te, Aiko Slanda, who appeared early in his journey away from home. While she doesn't seem to fit his ideals at all, he nonetheless fell for her, knowing that as much as she needed the stability he was sure he could provide, but that she might hold a key to pushing him forward as a person, and to experience life to its fullest.

An optional blurb about how your character looks and behaves during combat.

=== '''''Weapons''''' ===
William is currently learning the ways of nearly all disciplines and to their advanced job. If he had the choice, he would remain healing, and would rather stay away from the battle's front. Overtime, William learned to embrace the inevitable moment of conflict and thus began apprenticing the many disciplines. Some disciplines interest William enough to even put forth more time into mastering the techniques. The weapons William uses in conflict are as follows:[[File:wf_270_scholar_relic_anabis.jpg|right|500px]]

=Background=
: “My name is William Fedorason.
: For years I have faced a major calamity with only one goal:
: To save my realm. Now others have joined with me in my company.
: To them, I am William, but to the rest of Eorzea,
: I am the Warrior of Light.”

:: -From a letter to Ser Aymeric de Borel in regards to assisting in the Dragonsong War.
=== ''Birth and childhood (0-10)'' ===
: Born William Chambers in the year 1560 of the Sixth Astral Era, he was raised within the hamlet of Hyrstmill of the northern Shroud. His parents are Solmunder Chambers, a well decorated Wood Wailer, and Athilda Chambers, a skilled conjurer for the Twin Adders. He has two older brothers, Piers Chambers, who's a moderate archer and only 9 years older, and Roderick Arrowe, his half-brother who's was a skilled archer among the Gods' Bow and now a secretary for the free company of <<VOID>>. At young age, archery interested him a great deal. His father would craft him his own bow and dulled arrows to play with. Though he was no good, he still enjoyed it no matter what. Whenever William would injure himself when he plays outside, his mother always use her skills of conjury to cure his wounds. Over time, William learned to cure on his own, but not much more conjury than that.
=== ''Adolescent Years'' ===
: As William grew, he met his now best friends in Old Gridania. At the age of eleven, he was tasked to travel to the city to pick up some seeds and tools from the Botanist's Guild to replenish his family's farm. When the guildmaster unfortunately stated there were no such seeds available for pickup, there was an Elezen kid who was also purchasing seeds who had came before him. He had noticed the despair in William's face and gave him a portion of his seeds. He had introduced himself as Brandon. Days passed and they would meet up to hang out, and William was introduced to Brandon's friends: Tyler Ultimathule, an Elezen, and Aries Xela, a Miqo'te who was typically called Alex. The four of them would become inseparable over time.
: William had minimal previous magical encounters. He once came across an altercation between the Sharlayan Circle of Knowing and a dark robed Mage. Apparently there was a surge of aetheric energy coming from near the Ehcatl 9 tribe, the docile Ixali group. William, only twelve at the time, was out gathering some firewood when the Mage confronted him. Frightened, William was cornered into a cavern. He noticed the Mage preparing to cast some magical attack, but was cut short when a Miqote conjurer, Highlander pugilist, and a Lalafellan thaumaturge confronted him. The Mage directed his attacks to hit the pugilist as some magic deflected off her and hit William instead. The conjurer came to his aid and cured his wounds. She remained by his side as the thaumaturge managed to harm the Mage. The Mage soon dissipated away. The three heroes of the hour introduced themselves as Y'shtola, Yda, and Papalymo respectively. They mentioned to William to contact them whenever there is a similar issue in the future. They dedicated there life to protecting the innocent from the forces of darkness saving the realm from calamity. From that day forward, William decided to become an adventurer and aspired to become like them, for he could discern true heroism within them.
====The Calamity Strikes====
: With word of the "Meteor Project" coming to the light of the Eorzean Alliance, the grand companies and allied free companies took up arms to defend the Carteneau Flats from the Garlean menace. William's parents both took up arms to fight with the Twin Adders. At home, William was sitting outside his cottage with his brothers watching the slow descent of the false moon. Though he and Piers never truly saw eye to eye, this may be the only time when they are united. His friends had shown up to wait out the world’s immenent demise. William felt powerless. He wanted to do something about the inevitable calamity that would affect his quaint hamlet. He saw the enormous cracks forming upon Dalamud and something spoke to him inside his head.
:: “Save them later. Be…a…hero…”
: The voice felt as if someone was echoing right behind him, yet when he turned around to check, there was only a dissipating mist. He had asked to his friends around if they heard anything nearby, but they denied. William looked back up to the falling moon as it suddenly bursts as the Dreadwyrm breaks free. William and his friends stand up in shock as Bahamut ravages the land. The first thought to pop in William’s head was the Circle of Knowing that he had met a month prior. He had hoped they would save the realm from total annihilation. William noticed the people around him either crying or standing in complete shock. He notice one man pick up his young daughter and held her tight saying “Everything will be alright sometime soon.” He could see a hunk of the false moon fall near the southern border of the North Shroud. Suddenly a flash of white bright light covers the realm. Soon after, the Dreadwyrm disappears without a trace. Eorzea, a realm reborn out of a tragic calamity, needs a hero.

====A Family in Shambles====
: It has been five hours since the disappearance of Bahamut and William and his brothers are waiting anxiously for their parents to return. It was about the middle of the night when Roderick noticed a tired man carrying a woman in his arms. He trudged toward the cottage and as the light shined on his face, it was their father with tears flooding from his eyes. Roderick yelled for Piers and William to wake up. William came immediately outside and saw his father carrying his mother in his arms. William promptly yelled for his mother to wake up. With tears trailing from his eyes, he attempted to cast Cure on her, but to no avail. He attempted to execute a spell he has been learning, Raise. For a slight moment, he had heard the voice from before, but was indistinguishable. By the grace of the Twelve, his mother's eyes opened. She was awake, but not for long. She could speak, but she was very weak. Solmunder was speechless to witness such a temporary miracle. Athilda knew she would be passing soon, so she gave each a hug and a kiss. She told them all to be well and live happy whilst urging to remain together. Her last breath passed as she took hold on to William's hand before losing her grip on her mortal coil.
: Weeks passed after the passing of Athilda and Piers took excile from his Gridanian home to move to Limsa Lominsa for a new life. With two family members being gone from the home, only Solmunder, Roderick, and William remained. Solmunder tried to remain cheerful in the times of grief, yet he is always reminded of the dreadful day of the Calamity. Rod took notice of his father's decline in strength and mobility over time. He believed it to be caused by the grief and the PTSD from the moment Athilda's life started slipping. Rod thought to move the family to start over. Within two months, the family moved out of Hyrstmill and into the Lavender Beds. Once settled in, Rod taught William archery in the yard of their new home. Needless to say, William's skills advanced fairly over time.
: Years passed and Piers returned home from his travels in Vylbrand. In that time, Piers worked part time as a bow-for-hire and fell for a Miqo'te girl. Over time, they got a house, yet she would mooch gil off of Piers and eventually kicked Piers out of "their" house for an Auri girl. Defeated, he returned home. He had found the location of the new family home and noticed William practicing archery. Piers took pride in his skills of archery and believed he should be the best archer in the family, although he does not care whether Rod was good or not for some reason. As he came around the corner, he noticed William hit a bullseye thrice in a row. Piers' resent for William was reignited. For months they would have petty competitions too see who was the better archer.
: When William was about 15, he and Piers had one of their usual archery competitions. After each round, William was always closer to the center than Piers. At a moment when William was ready to shoot his next arrow at the target, Piers yelled out that he cheats each time. As he was ranting aloud, William shrugged it off until he could no longer. Piers then accused William that he was never really loved by his mother, such that it was all out of pity. William could not hold back much longer and as he released the arrow from the bow, he immediately turned to Piers to tell him off, yet the arrow was still in the bowstring. The arrow managed to hit the bullseye, but not on the target and instead in Piers' left eye. He fell to the ground screaming and writhing in pain. Piers yelled obscenities and slurs toward William. William considered taking out his wand to cure Piers, but he fled the yard instead. He returned about 75 minutes later to the house to see Piers passed out in the living room with the arrow still in the eye. William attempted to cure the eye. As he casted the spell, he slowly remove the arrow from Piers' eye. He noticed Piers' body relax some and soon woke up. Piers woke up wondering why he felt no pain rubbing his eyes. He opened his eyes and rubbed his left eye some more. He could see out his right but not in his left. Starting to panic, he ran to a mirror nearby , nearly tripping on a stool. He looked in the mirror to see his left eye foggy. Piers was blind in his left eye. Piers screamed out in horror and blamed William that he could never practice archery again. In the morning, Piers was gone and was not heard from again, officially.

=== ''Adulthood'' ===
====The Beginnings of an Adventurer====
: At the age of sixteen, after all the years following tragedy after tragedy, William finally prepared to set off for Gridania. On the day before he sets off for an adventurer's life, he prepared his bow, one made by his father. He had wondered whether or not fame would come for him quickly as his family name is of Chambers. He does not want to easily be significant as the "Son of Solmunder Chambers". He went to his father for advice upon the matter and contemplated whether going by another name should suffice. Solmunder sat him down next to him and took his old fedora off and plopped onto William's head. He told him how he should do what he feels is right and never look back. He agreed wholeheartedly with William considering to go by another name. He even told him a little story..
:: "Aye Will, ye listen close. Once upon eh time there was eh young Lominsan lad who lived amongst eh family of ruthless 'n coldhearted killehs 'n theives. 'E was forced to join th' crew iffen 'e wants some grub and eh night's rest. 'Pon the day of 'is eighteenth nameday, 'e mustered 'is courage t' leave 'is godsforsaken home, iffen it could be called eh home. 'E took to th' ports of Limsa Lominsa 'n 'e found eh small cargo ship to th' mainland 'o Aldenard. 'E arrived en Vesper Bay where 'e could 'ear some word of eh trip to th' Shroud. Now 'e was quite skilled en the disciplines of archery 'n spearin', so Gridania was quite th' place for harnessin' 'is skills. 'E took the first journey to th' Shroud and landed en th' Adventurer's Guild. They at th' time were-eh pryin' for th' lad's name. 'E could not take aftah 'is true name, for 'e could be eithah arrested by th' Serpents or found by 'is twisted family! 'Is 'eart was racin' so 'e scrubbed off o' 'is last name for 'is new name. Chambers. See lad, for 'e was I. When I was at 'bout ye' age for even I was at ye' place. I needed t' make eh name for me-self. 'N that I did, lad. I rose the to th' tops o' ranks of th' Wailers n' I even met ye motheh. She'd be quite proud of ye decision. Take 'tis hat wit' ye wherever ye go. 'Tis nice for th' formal nights 'n even was what ye motheh noticed first of me!"
: William had not known of his father's history before the Wailers before now. He took the fancy hat and packed it in his suitcase with his other clothes. He grabbed his old wand and placed it near his bow when his brother came to see him. He had been practicing archery everyday to prepare for this moment. Rod wished him luck for his journeys ahead and urged him to never give up when things seems hard.

: ■✖Athilda Chambers née Arrowe, (Mother)
:: [[File:Athilda_Chambers.jpg|right|250px|Athilda Chambers]]
::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "My mother is my true inspiration to why I remain healing. It's what she would have wanted.."</div>
:::: Athilda was born in the streets of Ul'Dah, not knowing her true family. She would be a thief in order to get a meal, occasionaly stealing from the marketplace. One day, the grocer took notice of her actions and let the game continue for a while until she confronted her. Athilda, being scared of being arrested, attempted to run, yet was caught immediately. The grocer caught her by the Weavers' Guild and inquired about her life. She told her that she had no home, no family, and no food. Without a second thought, the grocer took her in and raised her. The grocer's name was Petra Arrowe. As she grew older, Athilda, moved to the Shroud to make a name for herself. She thanked her foster mother for everything she's done for her and stayed in touch.
::::Before her marriage to William's father, she gave birth to Roderick, William's oldest brother, yet she was rather promiscuous during her twenties, so Roderick's biological father is unknown but assumed to be a Gods' Quiver archer. Having changed her ways, she found Solmunder eight years later and fell in love and married. They had their first son together Piers and then nine years later their second son William. Athilda lived her life as conjurer for the Twin Adders. Both she and Solmunder were fighting with the Grand Companies at Cartenau against the Garlean menace before the Calamity struck. Solmunder fought valiantly and took many Garlean lives with Athilda alongside him. As they were taking out the enemy, Athilda was caught blindsided and was slew by an Imperial Laquearius. Solmunder was filled with rage and pierced the Laquearius through its heart. Solmunder survived the battle and returned home to his children after the Calamity struck and informed them of the tragic news. William took it hardest of all. Only being twelve at the time of this calamity, he was really close to his mother and she would show him conjury tricks. Whenever William heals for his party, he always thinks of his mother guiding him through to victory..

: ■Solmunder Chambers, (Father)
:: [[File:Solmunder_Chambers.jpg|right|250px|Solmunder Chambers]]
::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "My father would never let any bad situation ruin his sense of humor!"</div>
:::: Solmunder Chambers came from a terrible household in Limsa Lominsa. He was born to a family of vile pirates known as the Chamberlain Crew. He was forced to partake in villainous crimes if he was to get a meal and bed each day. When he became eighteen years of age, he mustered the courage to hitch a ship to Aldenard without saying one word to his family. He arrived in Vesper Bay and changed his name to Chambers, for slight differentiation from his family. He trekked to the Shroud in hopes to learn either archery or lancing; upon his arrival to Gridania, he learned the latter. He became skilled quickly enough for one of the Wood Wailers to take notice and suggest him to be a private among them. For many years he was an esteemed Wood Wailer and caught the eye of a fan, Athilda. They met at the Carline Canopy when Solmunder was off duty and Athilda noticed him. She approached him commending him for his valor in protecting the Shroud and immediately hit it off. They would always make jokes with each other with Solmunder always cracking horrible puns, yet Athilda laughed anyways. Athilda's nickname for Solmunder was "Sully" and although he wasn't too fond of it, it did not bother him either way; His nickname for her was Thillie and she liked it. They worked together roaming the Shroud, vanquishing any threat to Gridania with Athilda supporting Sully as he fought head-on.

:::: After the passing of his wife, Solmunder tried to keep his joy alive by providing for their children. Sully was only in his early forties yet became weak at holding his lance for long. Roderick, who was proficient at archery, joined the Gods' Bow to provide coin for the family. Sully, being grateful for Rod's generosity, officially retired his lance and stayed at home to tend to the family crops. William loved his father dearly and would always assist him when Sully is unable to move around. William talked to his father about leaving to provide even more for his family. William even mentioned desiring to change his surname to became notable for his own deeds, not his father's. Solmunder was quite the opposite of being disappointed and gave William a big hug and told him he was proud of that decision and mentioned his own story of coming to Aldenard. To this day, William provides 45 percent of his earnings to his family and visits home every now and then. His father is his inspiration for whenever William cracks a silly pun and would think of him every time he does.
: ■♦Piers Chambers, (Brother)
:: [[File:Piers_Chambers.jpg|right|250px|Piers Chambers]]
::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "Piers and I never really saw eye to eye. He always tried to rival me in archery, even when his accuracy was low.."</div>
:::: Piers is the middle child in the Chambers' family and felt he was only treated as such. He felt so much praise until William was born, and from then on he tended to resent him. William tried to show his love for his brother, but was never noticed. So he simply gave up and did not care for him. When their mother was killed in battle, there was even more disgust between the brothers. Piers always thought their mother favored William over him and he was filled with anger. Soon after, Piers left for Limsa Lominsa to get away from the family for a while. He had hoped his excile will cure his anger. In the meantime, Roderick taught William archery and became a prodigy at it. A few years passed and Piers returned home having made minor success and lost it all when he fell for a Miqo'te courtesan. He thought she truly loved him so he gave her a home in the Mist for them to live together. However, she mooched off gil after gil until she had the deed of the house and kicked him out for an Auri girl. He had but no choice to return home.

:::: Upon his return to Hyrstmill, he had noticed that the family had moved out of the hamlet and into a house in the Lavender Beds. When he found where the family was living at, he noticed William practicing archery in the yard with a target. He noticed William hit a bullseye with each shot. Piers did not like how William was better at archery than he and this refueled his anger. For the years to follow, they would pointlessly compete at archery. During one of these competitions, Piers blew a gasket and accused William of cheating everytime. William, unable to keep his cool, was about to make a shot at the target and turned to tell off Piers, but the arrow was released. The arrow flew and pierced Piers in the eye. Piers, writhing in pain screamed out obscenities toward William. William, knowing the conjury spell Cure, could have healed Piers if done immediately, but ran in fear. He came back home that night attempting to cure Piers' pain. The pain was gone, but Piers could never see in his left eye again. To this day, Piers is somewhere in Ul'Dah with his exact whereabouts unknown. William would once in a while recieve death threats from an anonymous sender, yet he could always recognize Piers' penmanship.
: ■Roderick Arrowe, (Half-Brother)
:: [[File:Roderick_Arrowe.jpg|right|250px|Roderick Arrowe]]
::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "Rod has always been a wonderful teacher in archery! We both show each other new tricks from time to time!"</div>
:::: Rod grew up never knowing who his real father was, as his mother was promiscuous when he was conceived.

=Prompts=
==F.A.Q.'s==
: ■ Does your character have siblings or family members in their age group? Which one are they closest with?
:: William’s two siblings have a big age gap from William, with Piers being 9 years older and Rod being 17 years older. William is not remotely close to Piers any way. They have had too much bad blood over the years. Rod however remains very close to William, as he first taught him archery as he became a novice. Any other relatives are unknown as his father came from a family of pirates and his mother grew up in the streets of Ul’Dah.
: ■ What is/was your character’s relationship with their mother like?
:: While she was still alive, she would always tell William stories of her adventures with his father each night as a child. William loved his mother dearly such that she is the true reason he kept healing. She taught him the basic heal Cure as a child. There were several instances where he became so flustered, he considered retiring his codex. Yet he remembered his mother would never give up in the heat of battle, so neither should he.
: ■ What is/was your character’s relationship with their father like?
:: His relationship to his father is quite as loving as his relationship to his mother! Before Rod was actually teaching William archery, it was his father who gave him his first bow and arrow set. Even thouch his father was adept lancing, he had knew archery as well. When he presented William his own set, at roughly nine years old, his father demonstrated archery to him by taking three arrows from a quiver, placing each in his bow, and accurately shot the bullseye! William’s face was filled with awe and his love for archery began. His father’s jokes also rubbed off onto William, which eventually became everyone else’s misfortune. Every cracked pun blossomed from the sole purpose to simply make everyone happy, as his father made him.
: ■ Has your character ever witnessed something that fundamentally changed them? If so, does anyone else know?
:: A year into William’s travels, having been months since he became a Warrior of Light, he was assisting the historical scholars of NOAH with emergence of the Crystal Tower. William was mainly a user of white magic and was hesitant to pick up a new skill at the time. He was tasked with preventing the realm becoming a World of Darkness. There was another healer in his group, one whose techniques differed from his own. He had not seen a healer perform abilities like these before. In duty, William took notice that their Warrior was taking too much damage at a point for William to replenish health quick enough. The Warrior got weak enough to the point where William was forced to grant him Benediction. The other healer managed to take over the main healing and was granting him aetheric shields to nullify incoming damage. William was astounded to see such a trick done in battle. After the duty was complete, he asked the other healer in the group where he learned such skills; he told him to find Alka Zolka and ask her the ways of the Nymian Scholar. Henceforth, he dedicated his following days studying the abilities of a Scholar in battle and became an adept Scholar under the great Nymian Scholar Surito Carito.
: ■ On an average day, what can be found in your character’s pockets?
:: Usually pocket lint.
: ■ What does your OC look for in a friend? Do they value friendship a lot?
:: What William finds for in a friend is someone who he is able to put his trust into, someone who he knows respects him as he to them, and someone who can put up with all of his dang shenanigans! Does he value friendship? Are chocobo couriers actually yellow chocobos splathered with tar? Yes! Friendship means everything to William and never wants to sever ties with someone he has grown see as a friend.
: ■ Is there a place they go to in order to escape the world, the stresses of life? What’s their favourite place?
:: Whenever William feels stressed from either a poor dungeon dive or surrounded by plenty of drama, he either resides within the study of his home to review over past tomes or journeys to Tailfeather to surround himself with the chocobos within their natural habitat. Either resolution renders William at peace.
: ■ What are concepts they value? Virtues? What do they look down upon?
:: William values the safety of his friends at all times within a duty. Whether he chooses to be the designated healer or a bard, he refuses to allow his party to fail, or even perish. He also values his friends above all else. As his virtues, William selects loyalty, as in to each other, and family, as in he places his family above everything else, whether it be his blood family or his friends who he looks to as a family. William looks down upon a betrayal of trust. He finds it very hard to mend broken ties, yet can turn the other cheek if necessary.
: ■Do they have a guilty conscience? Why? Did they ever do something they totally regretted?
:: William is as innocent as he’s going to get. He totally does not enact shenanigans in public as the Chocobo. What if he was the Chocobo? He would not regret it one bit. He finds it hilarious to be stared at when he conducts his weekly foray into Issom-Har in his chocobo suit. However the most shenanigans he would openly admit to would be shuffling up Sugis’ books. Yet he really needs to learn to conduct his prank while she isn’t home..
: ■ What are Tropes you associate with your muse?
:: ● Bookworm since he studies old tomes he’s collected from the Gubal Library during some of Sugis’ forays, yet while he does not have a collection of tomes to amount Sugis’, his collection sums to an estimate of sixty.
:: ● a literal Scholar, while that may be preferred healing job in duties, he tends to overly study past civilizations. He has recently taken an interest in the War of the Magi and regularly conducts expeditions to the Yafaem saltmoors for Mhach and the Wanderer’s Palace to communicate with the tonberries of Nym, if he manages to find a sane tonberry.
:: ● Chocobo.
: ■ If given a million dollars, what would your OC do?
:: “Dollars? Is that a currency? The only common currency used across Eorzea is gil, so I’ll assume the question will refer to gil.”
:: William upon given a million gil will immediately donate a quarter to his family for however his father seems fit, a quarter to his free company to fund their move from their current base of a cottage in the Lavender Beds into a mansion of appealing scenary, a quarter to the Adventurer’s Guild for showing how even a Warrior of Light can make his start with them, and the remaining quarter for himself for various luxuries for his private house (totally not decorating it fully in chocobo decor).
==Other O.C.'s Relationships==
===Sugis Kevade===
: ■"Rumor has it that William deals in shady blackmarket business what with multiplw people seeing him go into the Kevade Mansion so often...."
:: While that may appear so, his business at the mansion is strictly personal! He considers the “Void” officers friends! While Suvi is verbally annoyed by his jokes, William notices a smirk followed by disbelief upon his face. On occasion, he may give business advice, as he runs his free company. While he stays out of specific business details, he cares not for whatever “shady” business is conducted, yet refuses to get involved in actual dealings. Although on one instance, he proposed that Suvi hire William’s older brother to do some secretarial work.
: William's memories of Sugis
:: ⭐️ One memory of William remembers is the day they first met in a duty to clear the first hall of Dzemael Darkhold. William on occasion tells Sugis how he both regrets and is grateful for that encounter.
:: ⭐️ No matter what’s happening, whether it be a dangerous raid or utter nonsense, William and Sugis will not hesitate to be sarcastic and sassy to each other.
:: ⭐️ William will not step one foot inside Sugis’ house. He once did and he was frightened by the sheer number of books in her house. Her house would put the Gubal Library out of business.
:: ⭐️ How many puns does it take for William to get on Sugis’s nerves. A skele-ton. She’d punish him, but that in itself would be helping his situation.
: Sugis' memories of William
:: ⭐️ Despite a slight age gap, and the fact that Will is /technically an adult/ Sugis still treats him like a child when it comes to his safety.
:: ⭐️ Sugis quit drinking due to something that happened involving dungeon crawling, Will pressuring a drunken Ishgardian Dragoon to “Do It”, and multiple Gas Bombs.
:: ⭐️ She likes to tease him, lightheartedly, about girls and when he’s gonna start dating to fluster him.
:: ⭐️ If there was a gil for every time she shouted “You’re grounded” to Will… She’d probably be rich(er).
:: ⭐️ Sugis takes the more serious marks for hunts and mercenary related stuff because she doesn’t want to see Will get hurt.
===Riaa Alteir===
: Riaa's memories of William
:: ⭐️ Riaa thinks that William is quite silly, but she appreciates it. Most people are too serious so it’s a nice change. She especially likes the OH JEEZ
:: ⭐️ to the point now where Riaa gleefully joins in on the OH JEEZ as well. She isn’t too bothered if it’s bugging anybody, but she’s definately having fun with it, and figures if SHE’S having fun with it then William must also be having fun too and YAY FUN.
:: ⭐️ She likes his hat. Not any specific one, just all of them. (Riaa really likes the chocobo head though, she thinks it’s hilarious.)
:: ⭐️ (Weed-Lizard) After the pixie stix incident, Mariko is worried about the purity of her candy, and as such double-triple checks that it’s not got anything else in. She’s also a bit worried that William managed to get tweaked out like that. On candy. How even…?
===Darius Kinkaid===
: Darius' memories of William
:: ⭐️ Darius knows about William through his subordinate, Ringabel [Sugis]. He’s heard nothing but good things, but is convinced William lives in a constant state of thinking everyone is going to die in an instant.
:: ⭐️ Darius also believes William was a chocobo in a past life.
:: ⭐️ When they first met, them two didn’t speak much outside of momentary jokes and the like, but they both soon found out they both read stories about a fictional group of heroes. The first book in question? “Red Helm and the Vandals.” There are other books, but William is convinced Darius idolizes this “Red Helm” character. He’s not absolutely wrong.
:: ⭐️ Since finding out about his sister, Darius has attended every small party William and his Free Company has thrown. The scholar in question is the only person who knows Darius disguises himself as an entertainer in a Vanu Vanu outfit.
:: ⭐️ William is constantly forgetting who Darius is, claiming he had seen him before in outlandish roles and places. It is unknown if William just does this to try and get inside Darius’s head or if it’s honestly forgetfulness.
:: ⭐️ Darius and William finally became friends when a mishap occurred while questing. They both had said “Oh Jeez” at the same time, rendering odd looks from both parties.

:'''Logan Holden''' is a Warrior of Light hailing from Moraby Bay, where he grew up with a fisherman father and a Yellowjacket mother, alongside his fraternal twin Cherise. He left home after a series of dreams began to press themselves into his mind, including while he was wide awake. His sister decided to join him, and together the pair left for Ul'dah. From there he learned to fight while being a member of the Gladiator's Guild, and his eagerness to assist any who needed it was a valuable asset as a member of the Adventurer's Guild, and eventually he was given the offer to join the Scions of the Seventh Dawn. After joining, he ended up captured and facing tempering by the Amalj'aa primal, Ifrit, but found himself immune. Since then he's grown as a warrior, and began leading a small group of Scions, later forming the Free Company Awoken Wanderers with them, and becoming known as a Warrior of Light.

:Unknown to Logan, his early skill with fighting, his aetherpool, and connection to Hydaelyn comes from the soul of a Warrior of Light that was lost and otherwise forgotten after Bahamut released his barrage against Eorzea, an Elezen known as Lusiel Coydan. While they have no direct connection, Logan has become aware of her presence, and often does she manage to send him small amounts of knowledge or feelings about people or places she's seen. He also has a heavy empathetic connection to his Echo visions, and can acutely feel the emotions of those he sees in his visions. He never forgets them, and should he dwell on them too much, they will return in full force, which is something he often has to guard against.





==Free Company: Awoken Wanderers==
The Awoken Wanderers were formed by Logan and his group of adventuring friends to create a home for both them, and give them a banner under which to go by when not acting within the confines of the Scions of the Seventh Dawn. It's main goal is to help assist and train adventurers, helping them learn the dangers of adventuring and how to get ahead in the Adventurer's Guild.

==Logan's Typical Inventory==
'''Last updated:''' N/A
: - Items

=Appearance=
[[File:Logan holden causal.png|right|350px]]
'''Height:''' 5 fulms 11 ilms

'''Weight:''' 186 ponz

'''Complexion: ''' Fair.

'''Hair: ''' Dark brown.

'''Eyes: ''' Dark brown.

: Logan's just above average height, with wide shoulders, and lots of muscle from hefting around his armour and shield, as well as putting them to use quite often. You'd be hard pressed to see them, aside from those on his arms, but Logan's covered in many small scrapes and scars from his many battles, though nothing that hasn't been able to be healed up for the most part. His hair is thick and soft, his eyes watchful, and his face looking like he's either very focused or a little upset, unless he's actively trying to look happy.

=Behavior=
=== '''''Behavior''''' ===
: Logan does his best to always be respectful of others upon meeting them, and generally stays quiet and lets them talk, until he's required to speak. When he is, he tends to answer in the shortest form possible, and often stammers through words until he can get a feel of the person and the conversation.
: When with people he trusts and feels comfortable with, he's far more open and enjoys telling jokes, stories, and listening to others. Even still, you'll often find him on his own, or to one side, as being around a lot of people can make him uncomfortable after long periods of time. He enjoys his quieter time to himself quite a bit.
: Logan is incredibly hard to make angry, though he may feign annoyance and frustration to give what he assumes is the desired reaction from a joke. He always makes sure you know when he's serious, and he hopes he'll get your attention as much as he'd give you his.
: The only time you'll see Logan honestly upset or angry is towards those who don't understand how to take care of others, or those who have betrayed or hurt people. He has little tolerance for the evils of the world, and holds fast to the phrase "do unto others as you would have them do unto you".
: If possible, Logan will prevent the death of any intelligent being, from the Elezen of Isghard to the Kobolds of La Noscea, putting his shield and sword pommel to good use. He does, however, accept that Eorzea is embroiled in violent conflicts, and that peaceful solutions are not always possible, and is willing to kill if necessary.

=== '''''Fears''''' ===
: ■ Ever since the Calamity, Logan's been scared of dragons. After being introduced to the more peaceful side of dragons in Dravania, his fear has lessened, but they can still make him heavily uneasy.
: ■ Being in a leadership position among his friends and even Eorzea, he's terrified of failure and letting down those who hold him to such a high standard.

===Preferences===
: Logan's ideal is someone who's willing to trust him, and open themselves to the same trust. Someone who's willing to work with him to create a solid relationship, knowing they'll have problems, but ready to work through them. He expects to have children and looks forward to raising a family.
: That said, he ended up infatuated with the mysterious Miqo'te, Aiko Slanda, who appeared early in his journey away from home. While she doesn't seem to fit his ideals at all, he nonetheless fell for her, knowing that as much as she needed the stability he was sure he could provide, but that she might hold a key to pushing him forward as a person, and to experience life to its fullest.

=== '''''Weapons''''' ===
William is currently learning the ways of nearly all disciplines and to their advanced job. If he had the choice, he would remain healing, and would rather stay away from the battle's front. Overtime, William learned to embrace the inevitable moment of conflict and thus began apprenticing the many disciplines. Some disciplines interest William enough to even put forth more time into mastering the techniques. The weapons William uses in conflict are as follows:[[File:wf_270_scholar_relic_anabis.jpg|right|500px]]

=== '''''Crafting''''' ===
As he was still making a name for himself before becoming a Warrior of Light, he would partake in the work of alchemy. He has always enjoyed the act of making elixers to assist his allies with enhancing their abilities or replenishing their vigor. As of late, William has temporarily retired the craft of alchemy simply to put other needs forward. In order for him to advance his skills of alchemy, he must learn the ways of other crafts to further his own skills. He is currently working on learning the ways of the goldsmithing, leatherworking, and smithing in order to learn the technique to self-repair his gear that is composed of such craft.

=== '''''Talents''''' ===
: ■Summoning of each egi and faerie together at a time, yet not in combat.
: ■Taught his gaelikitten to retrieve objects on command.
: ■Proficient in archery to be able to shoot three arrows at once at a target.

=Background=
: “My name is William Fedorason.
: For years I have faced a major calamity with only one goal:
: To save my realm. Now others have joined with me in my company.
: To them, I am William, but to the rest of Eorzea,
: I am the Warrior of Light.”

:: -From a letter to Ser Aymeric de Borel in regards to assisting in the Dragonsong War.
=== ''Birth and childhood (0-10)'' ===
: Born William Chambers in the year 1560 of the Sixth Astral Era, he was raised within the hamlet of Hyrstmill of the northern Shroud. His parents are Solmunder Chambers, a well decorated Wood Wailer, and Athilda Chambers, a skilled conjurer for the Twin Adders. He has two older brothers, Piers Chambers, who's a moderate archer and only 9 years older, and Roderick Arrowe, his half-brother who's was a skilled archer among the Gods' Bow and now a secretary for the free company of <<VOID>>. At young age, archery interested him a great deal. His father would craft him his own bow and dulled arrows to play with. Though he was no good, he still enjoyed it no matter what. Whenever William would injure himself when he plays outside, his mother always use her skills of conjury to cure his wounds. Over time, William learned to cure on his own, but not much more conjury than that.
=== ''Adolescent Years'' ===
: As William grew, he met his now best friends in Old Gridania. At the age of eleven, he was tasked to travel to the city to pick up some seeds and tools from the Botanist's Guild to replenish his family's farm. When the guildmaster unfortunately stated there were no such seeds available for pickup, there was an Elezen kid who was also purchasing seeds who had came before him. He had noticed the despair in William's face and gave him a portion of his seeds. He had introduced himself as Brandon. Days passed and they would meet up to hang out, and William was introduced to Brandon's friends: Tyler Ultimathule, an Elezen, and Aries Xela, a Miqo'te who was typically called Alex. The four of them would become inseparable over time.
: William had minimal previous magical encounters. He once came across an altercation between the Sharlayan Circle of Knowing and a dark robed Mage. Apparently there was a surge of aetheric energy coming from near the Ehcatl 9 tribe, the docile Ixali group. William, only twelve at the time, was out gathering some firewood when the Mage confronted him. Frightened, William was cornered into a cavern. He noticed the Mage preparing to cast some magical attack, but was cut short when a Miqote conjurer, Highlander pugilist, and a Lalafellan thaumaturge confronted him. The Mage directed his attacks to hit the pugilist as some magic deflected off her and hit William instead. The conjurer came to his aid and cured his wounds. She remained by his side as the thaumaturge managed to harm the Mage. The Mage soon dissipated away. The three heroes of the hour introduced themselves as Y'shtola, Yda, and Papalymo respectively. They mentioned to William to contact them whenever there is a similar issue in the future. They dedicated there life to protecting the innocent from the forces of darkness saving the realm from calamity. From that day forward, William decided to become an adventurer and aspired to become like them, for he could discern true heroism within them.
====The Calamity Strikes====
: With word of the "Meteor Project" coming to the light of the Eorzean Alliance, the grand companies and allied free companies took up arms to defend the Carteneau Flats from the Garlean menace. William's parents both took up arms to fight with the Twin Adders. At home, William was sitting outside his cottage with his brothers watching the slow descent of the false moon. Though he and Piers never truly saw eye to eye, this may be the only time when they are united. His friends had shown up to wait out the world’s immenent demise. William felt powerless. He wanted to do something about the inevitable calamity that would affect his quaint hamlet. He saw the enormous cracks forming upon Dalamud and something spoke to him inside his head.
:: “Save them later. Be…a…hero…”
: The voice felt as if someone was echoing right behind him, yet when he turned around to check, there was only a dissipating mist. He had asked to his friends around if they heard anything nearby, but they denied. William looked back up to the falling moon as it suddenly bursts as the Dreadwyrm breaks free. William and his friends stand up in shock as Bahamut ravages the land. The first thought to pop in William’s head was the Circle of Knowing that he had met a month prior. He had hoped they would save the realm from total annihilation. William noticed the people around him either crying or standing in complete shock. He notice one man pick up his young daughter and held her tight saying “Everything will be alright sometime soon.” He could see a hunk of the false moon fall near the southern border of the North Shroud. Suddenly a flash of white bright light covers the realm. Soon after, the Dreadwyrm disappears without a trace. Eorzea, a realm reborn out of a tragic calamity, needs a hero.

====A Family in Shambles====
: It has been five hours since the disappearance of Bahamut and William and his brothers are waiting anxiously for their parents to return. It was about the middle of the night when Roderick noticed a tired man carrying a woman in his arms. He trudged toward the cottage and as the light shined on his face, it was their father with tears flooding from his eyes. Roderick yelled for Piers and William to wake up. William came immediately outside and saw his father carrying his mother in his arms. William promptly yelled for his mother to wake up. With tears trailing from his eyes, he attempted to cast Cure on her, but to no avail. He attempted to execute a spell he has been learning, Raise. For a slight moment, he had heard the voice from before, but was indistinguishable. By the grace of the Twelve, his mother's eyes opened. She was awake, but not for long. She could speak, but she was very weak. Solmunder was speechless to witness such a temporary miracle. Athilda knew she would be passing soon, so she gave each a hug and a kiss. She told them all to be well and live happy whilst urging to remain together. Her last breath passed as she took hold on to William's hand before losing her grip on her mortal coil.
: Weeks passed after the passing of Athilda and Piers took excile from his Gridanian home to move to Limsa Lominsa for a new life. With two family members being gone from the home, only Solmunder, Roderick, and William remained. Solmunder tried to remain cheerful in the times of grief, yet he is always reminded of the dreadful day of the Calamity. Rod took notice of his father's decline in strength and mobility over time. He believed it to be caused by the grief and the PTSD from the moment Athilda's life started slipping. Rod thought to move the family to start over. Within two months, the family moved out of Hyrstmill and into the Lavender Beds. Once settled in, Rod taught William archery in the yard of their new home. Needless to say, William's skills advanced fairly over time.
: Years passed and Piers returned home from his travels in Vylbrand. In that time, Piers worked part time as a bow-for-hire and fell for a Miqo'te girl. Over time, they got a house, yet she would mooch gil off of Piers and eventually kicked Piers out of "their" house for an Auri girl. Defeated, he returned home. He had found the location of the new family home and noticed William practicing archery. Piers took pride in his skills of archery and believed he should be the best archer in the family, although he does not care whether Rod was good or not for some reason. As he came around the corner, he noticed William hit a bullseye thrice in a row. Piers' resent for William was reignited. For months they would have petty competitions too see who was the better archer.
: When William was about 15, he and Piers had one of their usual archery competitions. After each round, William was always closer to the center than Piers. At a moment when William was ready to shoot his next arrow at the target, Piers yelled out that he cheats each time. As he was ranting aloud, William shrugged it off until he could no longer. Piers then accused William that he was never really loved by his mother, such that it was all out of pity. William could not hold back much longer and as he released the arrow from the bow, he immediately turned to Piers to tell him off, yet the arrow was still in the bowstring. The arrow managed to hit the bullseye, but not on the target and instead in Piers' left eye. He fell to the ground screaming and writhing in pain. Piers yelled obscenities and slurs toward William. William considered taking out his wand to cure Piers, but he fled the yard instead. He returned about 75 minutes later to the house to see Piers passed out in the living room with the arrow still in the eye. William attempted to cure the eye. As he casted the spell, he slowly remove the arrow from Piers' eye. He noticed Piers' body relax some and soon woke up. Piers woke up wondering why he felt no pain rubbing his eyes. He opened his eyes and rubbed his left eye some more. He could see out his right but not in his left. Starting to panic, he ran to a mirror nearby , nearly tripping on a stool. He looked in the mirror to see his left eye foggy. Piers was blind in his left eye. Piers screamed out in horror and blamed William that he could never practice archery again. In the morning, Piers was gone and was not heard from again, officially.

=== ''Adulthood'' ===
====The Beginnings of an Adventurer====
: At the age of sixteen, after all the years following tragedy after tragedy, William finally prepared to set off for Gridania. On the day before he sets off for an adventurer's life, he prepared his bow, one made by his father. He had wondered whether or not fame would come for him quickly as his family name is of Chambers. He does not want to easily be significant as the "Son of Solmunder Chambers". He went to his father for advice upon the matter and contemplated whether going by another name should suffice. Solmunder sat him down next to him and took his old fedora off and plopped onto William's head. He told him how he should do what he feels is right and never look back. He agreed wholeheartedly with William considering to go by another name. He even told him a little story..
:: "Aye Will, ye listen close. Once upon eh time there was eh young Lominsan lad who lived amongst eh family of ruthless 'n coldhearted killehs 'n theives. 'E was forced to join th' crew iffen 'e wants some grub and eh night's rest. 'Pon the day of 'is eighteenth nameday, 'e mustered 'is courage t' leave 'is godsforsaken home, iffen it could be called eh home. 'E took to th' ports of Limsa Lominsa 'n 'e found eh small cargo ship to th' mainland 'o Aldenard. 'E arrived en Vesper Bay where 'e could 'ear some word of eh trip to th' Shroud. Now 'e was quite skilled en the disciplines of archery 'n spearin', so Gridania was quite th' place for harnessin' 'is skills. 'E took the first journey to th' Shroud and landed en th' Adventurer's Guild. They at th' time were-eh pryin' for th' lad's name. 'E could not take aftah 'is true name, for 'e could be eithah arrested by th' Serpents or found by 'is twisted family! 'Is 'eart was racin' so 'e scrubbed off o' 'is last name for 'is new name. Chambers. See lad, for 'e was I. When I was at 'bout ye' age for even I was at ye' place. I needed t' make eh name for me-self. 'N that I did, lad. I rose the to th' tops o' ranks of th' Wailers n' I even met ye motheh. She'd be quite proud of ye decision. Take 'tis hat wit' ye wherever ye go. 'Tis nice for th' formal nights 'n even was what ye motheh noticed first of me!"
: William had not known of his father's history before the Wailers before now. He took the fancy hat and packed it in his suitcase with his other clothes. He grabbed his old wand and placed it near his bow when his brother came to see him. He had been practicing archery everyday to prepare for this moment. Rod wished him luck for his journeys ahead and urged him to never give up when things seems hard.

===Family===

: ■✖Athilda Chambers née Arrowe, (Mother)
:: [[File:Athilda_Chambers.jpg|right|250px|Athilda Chambers]]
::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "My mother is my true inspiration to why I remain healing. It's what she would have wanted.."</div>
:::: Athilda was born in the streets of Ul'Dah, not knowing her true family. She would be a thief in order to get a meal, occasionaly stealing from the marketplace. One day, the grocer took notice of her actions and let the game continue for a while until she confronted her. Athilda, being scared of being arrested, attempted to run, yet was caught immediately. The grocer caught her by the Weavers' Guild and inquired about her life. She told her that she had no home, no family, and no food. Without a second thought, the grocer took her in and raised her. The grocer's name was Petra Arrowe. As she grew older, Athilda, moved to the Shroud to make a name for herself. She thanked her foster mother for everything she's done for her and stayed in touch.
::::Before her marriage to William's father, she gave birth to Roderick, William's oldest brother, yet she was rather promiscuous during her twenties, so Roderick's biological father is unknown but assumed to be a Gods' Quiver archer. Having changed her ways, she found Solmunder eight years later and fell in love and married. They had their first son together Piers and then nine years later their second son William. Athilda lived her life as conjurer for the Twin Adders. Both she and Solmunder were fighting with the Grand Companies at Cartenau against the Garlean menace before the Calamity struck. Solmunder fought valiantly and took many Garlean lives with Athilda alongside him. As they were taking out the enemy, Athilda was caught blindsided and was slew by an Imperial Laquearius. Solmunder was filled with rage and pierced the Laquearius through its heart. Solmunder survived the battle and returned home to his children after the Calamity struck and informed them of the tragic news. William took it hardest of all. Only being twelve at the time of this calamity, he was really close to his mother and she would show him conjury tricks. Whenever William heals for his party, he always thinks of his mother guiding him through to victory..

: ■Solmunder Chambers, (Father)
:: [[File:Solmunder_Chambers.jpg|right|250px|Solmunder Chambers]]
::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "My father would never let any bad situation ruin his sense of humor!"</div>
:::: Solmunder Chambers came from a terrible household in Limsa Lominsa. He was born to a family of vile pirates known as the Chamberlain Crew. He was forced to partake in villainous crimes if he was to get a meal and bed each day. When he became eighteen years of age, he mustered the courage to hitch a ship to Aldenard without saying one word to his family. He arrived in Vesper Bay and changed his name to Chambers, for slight differentiation from his family. He trekked to the Shroud in hopes to learn either archery or lancing; upon his arrival to Gridania, he learned the latter. He became skilled quickly enough for one of the Wood Wailers to take notice and suggest him to be a private among them. For many years he was an esteemed Wood Wailer and caught the eye of a fan, Athilda. They met at the Carline Canopy when Solmunder was off duty and Athilda noticed him. She approached him commending him for his valor in protecting the Shroud and immediately hit it off. They would always make jokes with each other with Solmunder always cracking horrible puns, yet Athilda laughed anyways. Athilda's nickname for Solmunder was "Sully" and although he wasn't too fond of it, it did not bother him either way; His nickname for her was Thillie and she liked it. They worked together roaming the Shroud, vanquishing any threat to Gridania with Athilda supporting Sully as he fought head-on.

:::: After the passing of his wife, Solmunder tried to keep his joy alive by providing for their children. Sully was only in his early forties yet became weak at holding his lance for long. Roderick, who was proficient at archery, joined the Gods' Bow to provide coin for the family. Sully, being grateful for Rod's generosity, officially retired his lance and stayed at home to tend to the family crops. William loved his father dearly and would always assist him when Sully is unable to move around. William talked to his father about leaving to provide even more for his family. William even mentioned desiring to change his surname to became notable for his own deeds, not his father's. Solmunder was quite the opposite of being disappointed and gave William a big hug and told him he was proud of that decision and mentioned his own story of coming to Aldenard. To this day, William provides 45 percent of his earnings to his family and visits home every now and then. His father is his inspiration for whenever William cracks a silly pun and would think of him every time he does.
: ■♦Piers Chambers, (Brother)
:: [[File:Piers_Chambers.jpg|right|250px|Piers Chambers]]
::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "Piers and I never really saw eye to eye. He always tried to rival me in archery, even when his accuracy was low.."</div>
:::: Piers is the middle child in the Chambers' family and felt he was only treated as such. He felt so much praise until William was born, and from then on he tended to resent him. William tried to show his love for his brother, but was never noticed. So he simply gave up and did not care for him. When their mother was killed in battle, there was even more disgust between the brothers. Piers always thought their mother favored William over him and he was filled with anger. Soon after, Piers left for Limsa Lominsa to get away from the family for a while. He had hoped his excile will cure his anger. In the meantime, Roderick taught William archery and became a prodigy at it. A few years passed and Piers returned home having made minor success and lost it all when he fell for a Miqo'te courtesan. He thought she truly loved him so he gave her a home in the Mist for them to live together. However, she mooched off gil after gil until she had the deed of the house and kicked him out for an Auri girl. He had but no choice to return home.

:::: Upon his return to Hyrstmill, he had noticed that the family had moved out of the hamlet and into a house in the Lavender Beds. When he found where the family was living at, he noticed William practicing archery in the yard with a target. He noticed William hit a bullseye with each shot. Piers did not like how William was better at archery than he and this refueled his anger. For the years to follow, they would pointlessly compete at archery. During one of these competitions, Piers blew a gasket and accused William of cheating everytime. William, unable to keep his cool, was about to make a shot at the target and turned to tell off Piers, but the arrow was released. The arrow flew and pierced Piers in the eye. Piers, writhing in pain screamed out obscenities toward William. William, knowing the conjury spell Cure, could have healed Piers if done immediately, but ran in fear. He came back home that night attempting to cure Piers' pain. The pain was gone, but Piers could never see in his left eye again. To this day, Piers is somewhere in Ul'Dah with his exact whereabouts unknown. William would once in a while recieve death threats from an anonymous sender, yet he could always recognize Piers' penmanship.
: ■Roderick Arrowe, (Half-Brother)
:: [[File:Roderick_Arrowe.jpg|right|250px|Roderick Arrowe]]
::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "Rod has always been a wonderful teacher in archery! We both show each other new tricks from time to time!"</div>
:::: Rod grew up never knowing who his real father was, as his mother was promiscuous when he was conceived.

==F.A.Q.'s==
: ■ Does your character have siblings or family members in their age group? Which one are they closest with?
:: William’s two siblings have a big age gap from William, with Piers being 9 years older and Rod being 17 years older. William is not remotely close to Piers any way. They have had too much bad blood over the years. Rod however remains very close to William, as he first taught him archery as he became a novice. Any other relatives are unknown as his father came from a family of pirates and his mother grew up in the streets of Ul’Dah.
: ■ What is/was your character’s relationship with their mother like?
:: While she was still alive, she would always tell William stories of her adventures with his father each night as a child. William loved his mother dearly such that she is the true reason he kept healing. She taught him the basic heal Cure as a child. There were several instances where he became so flustered, he considered retiring his codex. Yet he remembered his mother would never give up in the heat of battle, so neither should he.
: ■ What is/was your character’s relationship with their father like?
:: His relationship to his father is quite as loving as his relationship to his mother! Before Rod was actually teaching William archery, it was his father who gave him his first bow and arrow set. Even thouch his father was adept lancing, he had knew archery as well. When he presented William his own set, at roughly nine years old, his father demonstrated archery to him by taking three arrows from a quiver, placing each in his bow, and accurately shot the bullseye! William’s face was filled with awe and his love for archery began. His father’s jokes also rubbed off onto William, which eventually became everyone else’s misfortune. Every cracked pun blossomed from the sole purpose to simply make everyone happy, as his father made him.
: ■ Has your character ever witnessed something that fundamentally changed them? If so, does anyone else know?
:: A year into William’s travels, having been months since he became a Warrior of Light, he was assisting the historical scholars of NOAH with emergence of the Crystal Tower. William was mainly a user of white magic and was hesitant to pick up a new skill at the time. He was tasked with preventing the realm becoming a World of Darkness. There was another healer in his group, one whose techniques differed from his own. He had not seen a healer perform abilities like these before. In duty, William took notice that their Warrior was taking too much damage at a point for William to replenish health quick enough. The Warrior got weak enough to the point where William was forced to grant him Benediction. The other healer managed to take over the main healing and was granting him aetheric shields to nullify incoming damage. William was astounded to see such a trick done in battle. After the duty was complete, he asked the other healer in the group where he learned such skills; he told him to find Alka Zolka and ask her the ways of the Nymian Scholar. Henceforth, he dedicated his following days studying the abilities of a Scholar in battle and became an adept Scholar under the great Nymian Scholar Surito Carito.
: ■ On an average day, what can be found in your character’s pockets?
:: Usually pocket lint.
: ■ What does your OC look for in a friend? Do they value friendship a lot?
:: What William finds for in a friend is someone who he is able to put his trust into, someone who he knows respects him as he to them, and someone who can put up with all of his dang shenanigans! Does he value friendship? Are chocobo couriers actually yellow chocobos splathered with tar? Yes! Friendship means everything to William and never wants to sever ties with someone he has grown see as a friend.
: ■ Is there a place they go to in order to escape the world, the stresses of life? What’s their favourite place?
:: Whenever William feels stressed from either a poor dungeon dive or surrounded by plenty of drama, he either resides within the study of his home to review over past tomes or journeys to Tailfeather to surround himself with the chocobos within their natural habitat. Either resolution renders William at peace.
: ■ What are concepts they value? Virtues? What do they look down upon?
:: William values the safety of his friends at all times within a duty. Whether he chooses to be the designated healer or a bard, he refuses to allow his party to fail, or even perish. He also values his friends above all else. As his virtues, William selects loyalty, as in to each other, and family, as in he places his family above everything else, whether it be his blood family or his friends who he looks to as a family. William looks down upon a betrayal of trust. He finds it very hard to mend broken ties, yet can turn the other cheek if necessary.
: ■Do they have a guilty conscience? Why? Did they ever do something they totally regretted?
:: William is as innocent as he’s going to get. He totally does not enact shenanigans in public as the Chocobo. What if he was the Chocobo? He would not regret it one bit. He finds it hilarious to be stared at when he conducts his weekly foray into Issom-Har in his chocobo suit. However the most shenanigans he would openly admit to would be shuffling up Sugis’ books. Yet he really needs to learn to conduct his prank while she isn’t home..
: ■ What are Tropes you associate with your muse?
:: ● Bookworm since he studies old tomes he’s collected from the Gubal Library during some of Sugis’ forays, yet while he does not have a collection of tomes to amount Sugis’, his collection sums to an estimate of sixty.
:: ● a literal Scholar, while that may be preferred healing job in duties, he tends to overly study past civilizations. He has recently taken an interest in the War of the Magi and regularly conducts expeditions to the Yafaem saltmoors for Mhach and the Wanderer’s Palace to communicate with the tonberries of Nym, if he manages to find a sane tonberry.
:: ● Chocobo.
: ■ If given a million dollars, what would your OC do?
:: “Dollars? Is that a currency? The only common currency used across Eorzea is gil, so I’ll assume the question will refer to gil.”
:: William upon given a million gil will immediately donate a quarter to his family for however his father seems fit, a quarter to his free company to fund their move from their current base of a cottage in the Lavender Beds into a mansion of appealing scenary, a quarter to the Adventurer’s Guild for showing how even a Warrior of Light can make his start with them, and the remaining quarter for himself for various luxuries for his private house (totally not decorating it fully in chocobo decor).
==Other O.C.'s Relationships==
===Sugis Kevade===
: ■"Rumor has it that William deals in shady blackmarket business what with multiplw people seeing him go into the Kevade Mansion so often...."
:: While that may appear so, his business at the mansion is strictly personal! He considers the “Void” officers friends! While Suvi is verbally annoyed by his jokes, William notices a smirk followed by disbelief upon his face. On occasion, he may give business advice, as he runs his free company. While he stays out of specific business details, he cares not for whatever “shady” business is conducted, yet refuses to get involved in actual dealings. Although on one instance, he proposed that Suvi hire William’s older brother to do some secretarial work.
: William's memories of Sugis
:: ⭐️ One memory of William remembers is the day they first met in a duty to clear the first hall of Dzemael Darkhold. William on occasion tells Sugis how he both regrets and is grateful for that encounter.
:: ⭐️ No matter what’s happening, whether it be a dangerous raid or utter nonsense, William and Sugis will not hesitate to be sarcastic and sassy to each other.
:: ⭐️ William will not step one foot inside Sugis’ house. He once did and he was frightened by the sheer number of books in her house. Her house would put the Gubal Library out of business.
:: ⭐️ How many puns does it take for William to get on Sugis’s nerves. A skele-ton. She’d punish him, but that in itself would be helping his situation.
: Sugis' memories of William
:: ⭐️ Despite a slight age gap, and the fact that Will is /technically an adult/ Sugis still treats him like a child when it comes to his safety.
:: ⭐️ Sugis quit drinking due to something that happened involving dungeon crawling, Will pressuring a drunken Ishgardian Dragoon to “Do It”, and multiple Gas Bombs.
:: ⭐️ She likes to tease him, lightheartedly, about girls and when he’s gonna start dating to fluster him.
:: ⭐️ If there was a gil for every time she shouted “You’re grounded” to Will… She’d probably be rich(er).
:: ⭐️ Sugis takes the more serious marks for hunts and mercenary related stuff because she doesn’t want to see Will get hurt.
===Riaa Alteir===
: Riaa's memories of William
:: ⭐️ Riaa thinks that William is quite silly, but she appreciates it. Most people are too serious so it’s a nice change. She especially likes the OH JEEZ
:: ⭐️ to the point now where Riaa gleefully joins in on the OH JEEZ as well. She isn’t too bothered if it’s bugging anybody, but she’s definately having fun with it, and figures if SHE’S having fun with it then William must also be having fun too and YAY FUN.
:: ⭐️ She likes his hat. Not any specific one, just all of them. (Riaa really likes the chocobo head though, she thinks it’s hilarious.)
:: ⭐️ (Weed-Lizard) After the pixie stix incident, Mariko is worried about the purity of her candy, and as such double-triple checks that it’s not got anything else in. She’s also a bit worried that William managed to get tweaked out like that. On candy. How even…?
===Darius Kinkaid===
: Darius' memories of William
:: ⭐️ Darius knows about William through his subordinate, Ringabel [Sugis]. He’s heard nothing but good things, but is convinced William lives in a constant state of thinking everyone is going to die in an instant.
:: ⭐️ Darius also believes William was a chocobo in a past life.
:: ⭐️ When they first met, them two didn’t speak much outside of momentary jokes and the like, but they both soon found out they both read stories about a fictional group of heroes. The first book in question? “Red Helm and the Vandals.” There are other books, but William is convinced Darius idolizes this “Red Helm” character. He’s not absolutely wrong.
:: ⭐️ Since finding out about his sister, Darius has attended every small party William and his Free Company has thrown. The scholar in question is the only person who knows Darius disguises himself as an entertainer in a Vanu Vanu outfit.
:: ⭐️ William is constantly forgetting who Darius is, claiming he had seen him before in outlandish roles and places. It is unknown if William just does this to try and get inside Darius’s head or if it’s honestly forgetfulness.
:: ⭐️ Darius and William finally became friends when a mishap occurred while questing. They both had said “Oh Jeez” at the same time, rendering odd looks from both parties.

:'''Logan Holden''' is a Warrior of Light hailing from Moraby Bay, where he grew up with a fisherman father and a Yellowjacket mother, alongside his fraternal twin Cherise. He left home after a series of dreams began to press themselves into his mind, including while he was wide awake. His sister decided to join him, and together the pair left for Ul'dah. From there he learned to fight while being a member of the Gladiator's Guild, and his eagerness to assist any who needed it was a valuable asset as a member of the Adventurer's Guild, and eventually he was given the offer to join the Scions of the Seventh Dawn. After joining, he ended up captured and facing tempering by the Amalj'aa primal, Ifrit, but found himself immune. Since then he's grown as a warrior, and began leading a small group of Scions, later forming the Free Company Awoken Wanderers with them, and becoming known as a Warrior of Light.

:Unknown to Logan, his early skill with fighting, his aetherpool, and connection to Hydaelyn comes from the soul of a Warrior of Light that was lost and otherwise forgotten after Bahamut released his barrage against Eorzea, an Elezen known as Lusiel Coydan. While they have no direct connection, Logan has become aware of her presence, and often does she manage to send him small amounts of knowledge or feelings about people or places she's seen. He also has a heavy empathetic connection to his Echo visions, and can acutely feel the emotions of those he sees in his visions. He never forgets them, and should he dwell on them too much, they will return in full force, which is something he often has to guard against.

'''Height:''' 5 fulms 11 ilms

'''Weight:''' 186 ponz

'''Complexion: ''' Fair.

'''Hair: ''' Dark brown.

'''Eyes: ''' Dark brown.

: Logan's just above average height, with wide shoulders, and lots of muscle from hefting around his armour and shield, as well as putting them to use quite often. You'd be hard pressed to see them, aside from those on his arms, but Logan's covered in many small scrapes and scars from his many battles, though nothing that hasn't been able to be healed up for the most part. His hair is thick and soft, his eyes watchful, and his face looking like he's either very focused or a little upset, unless he's actively trying to look happy.

=Behavior=
=== '''''Behavior''''' ===
: Logan does his best to always be respectful of others upon meeting them, and generally stays quiet and lets them talk, until he's required to speak. When he is, he tends to answer in the shortest form possible, and often stammers through words until he can get a feel of the person and the conversation.
: When with people he trusts and feels comfortable with, he's far more open and enjoys telling jokes, stories, and listening to others. Even still, you'll often find him on his own, or to one side, as being around a lot of people can make him uncomfortable after long periods of time. He enjoys his quieter time to himself quite a bit.
: Logan is incredibly hard to make angry, though he may feign annoyance and frustration to give what he assumes is the desired reaction from a joke. He always makes sure you know when he's serious, and he hopes he'll get your attention as much as he'd give you his.
: The only time you'll see Logan honestly upset or angry is towards those who don't understand how to take care of others, or those who have betrayed or hurt people. He has little tolerance for the evils of the world, and holds fast to the phrase "do unto others as you would have them do unto you".
: If possible, Logan will prevent the death of any intelligent being, from the Elezen of Isghard to the Kobolds of La Noscea, putting his shield and sword pommel to good use. He does, however, accept that Eorzea is embroiled in violent conflicts, and that peaceful solutions are not always possible, and is willing to kill if necessary.

=== '''''Fears''''' ===
: ■ Ever since the Calamity, Logan's been scared of dragons. After being introduced to the more peaceful side of dragons in Dravania, his fear has lessened, but they can still make him heavily uneasy.
: ■ Being in a leadership position among his friends and even Eorzea, he's terrified of failure and letting down those who hold him to such a high standard.

===Preferences===
: Logan's ideal is someone who's willing to trust him, and open themselves to the same trust. Someone who's willing to work with him to create a solid relationship, knowing they'll have problems, but ready to work through them. He expects to have children and looks forward to raising a family.
: That said, he ended up infatuated with the mysterious Miqo'te, Aiko Slanda, who appeared early in his journey away from home. While she doesn't seem to fit his ideals at all, he nonetheless fell for her, knowing that as much as she needed the stability he was sure he could provide, but that she might hold a key to pushing him forward as a person, and to experience life to its fullest.

=== '''''Weapons''''' ===
William is currently learning the ways of nearly all disciplines and to their advanced job. If he had the choice, he would remain healing, and would rather stay away from the battle's front. Overtime, William learned to embrace the inevitable moment of conflict and thus began apprenticing the many disciplines. Some disciplines interest William enough to even put forth more time into mastering the techniques. The weapons William uses in conflict are as follows:[[File:wf_270_scholar_relic_anabis.jpg|right|500px]]

In order for him to advance his skills of alchemy, he must learn the ways of other crafts to further his own skills.

=Background=
: “My name is William Fedorason.
: For years I have faced a major calamity with only one goal:
: To save my realm. Now others have joined with me in my company.
: To them, I am William, but to the rest of Eorzea,
: I am the Warrior of Light.”

:: -From a letter to Ser Aymeric de Borel in regards to assisting in the Dragonsong War.
=== ''Birth and childhood (0-10)'' ===
: Born William Chambers in the year 1560 of the Sixth Astral Era, he was raised within the hamlet of Hyrstmill of the northern Shroud. His parents are Solmunder Chambers, a well decorated Wood Wailer, and Athilda Chambers, a skilled conjurer for the Twin Adders. He has two older brothers, Piers Chambers, who's a moderate archer and only 9 years older, and Roderick Arrowe, his half-brother who's was a skilled archer among the Gods' Bow and now a secretary for the free company of <<VOID>>. At young age, archery interested him a great deal. His father would craft him his own bow and dulled arrows to play with. Though he was no good, he still enjoyed it no matter what. Whenever William would injure himself when he plays outside, his mother always use her skills of conjury to cure his wounds. Over time, William learned to cure on his own, but not much more conjury than that.
=== ''Adolescent Years'' ===
: As William grew, he met his now best friends in Old Gridania. At the age of eleven, he was tasked to travel to the city to pick up some seeds and tools from the Botanist's Guild to replenish his family's farm. When the guildmaster unfortunately stated there were no such seeds available for pickup, there was an Elezen kid who was also purchasing seeds who had came before him. He had noticed the despair in William's face and gave him a portion of his seeds. He had introduced himself as Brandon. Days passed and they would meet up to hang out, and William was introduced to Brandon's friends: Tyler Ultimathule, an Elezen, and Aries Xela, a Miqo'te who was typically called Alex. The four of them would become inseparable over time.
: William had minimal previous magical encounters. He once came across an altercation between the Sharlayan Circle of Knowing and a dark robed Mage. Apparently there was a surge of aetheric energy coming from near the Ehcatl 9 tribe, the docile Ixali group. William, only twelve at the time, was out gathering some firewood when the Mage confronted him. Frightened, William was cornered into a cavern. He noticed the Mage preparing to cast some magical attack, but was cut short when a Miqote conjurer, Highlander pugilist, and a Lalafellan thaumaturge confronted him. The Mage directed his attacks to hit the pugilist as some magic deflected off her and hit William instead. The conjurer came to his aid and cured his wounds. She remained by his side as the thaumaturge managed to harm the Mage. The Mage soon dissipated away. The three heroes of the hour introduced themselves as Y'shtola, Yda, and Papalymo respectively. They mentioned to William to contact them whenever there is a similar issue in the future. They dedicated there life to protecting the innocent from the forces of darkness saving the realm from calamity. From that day forward, William decided to become an adventurer and aspired to become like them, for he could discern true heroism within them.
====The Calamity Strikes====
: With word of the "Meteor Project" coming to the light of the Eorzean Alliance, the grand companies and allied free companies took up arms to defend the Carteneau Flats from the Garlean menace. William's parents both took up arms to fight with the Twin Adders. At home, William was sitting outside his cottage with his brothers watching the slow descent of the false moon. Though he and Piers never truly saw eye to eye, this may be the only time when they are united. His friends had shown up to wait out the world’s immenent demise. William felt powerless. He wanted to do something about the inevitable calamity that would affect his quaint hamlet. He saw the enormous cracks forming upon Dalamud and something spoke to him inside his head.
:: “Save them later. Be…a…hero…”
: The voice felt as if someone was echoing right behind him, yet when he turned around to check, there was only a dissipating mist. He had asked to his friends around if they heard anything nearby, but they denied. William looked back up to the falling moon as it suddenly bursts as the Dreadwyrm breaks free. William and his friends stand up in shock as Bahamut ravages the land. The first thought to pop in William’s head was the Circle of Knowing that he had met a month prior. He had hoped they would save the realm from total annihilation. William noticed the people around him either crying or standing in complete shock. He notice one man pick up his young daughter and held her tight saying “Everything will be alright sometime soon.” He could see a hunk of the false moon fall near the southern border of the North Shroud. Suddenly a flash of white bright light covers the realm. Soon after, the Dreadwyrm disappears without a trace. Eorzea, a realm reborn out of a tragic calamity, needs a hero.

====A Family in Shambles====
: It has been five hours since the disappearance of Bahamut and William and his brothers are waiting anxiously for their parents to return. It was about the middle of the night when Roderick noticed a tired man carrying a woman in his arms. He trudged toward the cottage and as the light shined on his face, it was their father with tears flooding from his eyes. Roderick yelled for Piers and William to wake up. William came immediately outside and saw his father carrying his mother in his arms. William promptly yelled for his mother to wake up. With tears trailing from his eyes, he attempted to cast Cure on her, but to no avail. He attempted to execute a spell he has been learning, Raise. For a slight moment, he had heard the voice from before, but was indistinguishable. By the grace of the Twelve, his mother's eyes opened. She was awake, but not for long. She could speak, but she was very weak. Solmunder was speechless to witness such a temporary miracle. Athilda knew she would be passing soon, so she gave each a hug and a kiss. She told them all to be well and live happy whilst urging to remain together. Her last breath passed as she took hold on to William's hand before losing her grip on her mortal coil.
: Weeks passed after the passing of Athilda and Piers took excile from his Gridanian home to move to Limsa Lominsa for a new life. With two family members being gone from the home, only Solmunder, Roderick, and William remained. Solmunder tried to remain cheerful in the times of grief, yet he is always reminded of the dreadful day of the Calamity. Rod took notice of his father's decline in strength and mobility over time. He believed it to be caused by the grief and the PTSD from the moment Athilda's life started slipping. Rod thought to move the family to start over. Within two months, the family moved out of Hyrstmill and into the Lavender Beds. Once settled in, Rod taught William archery in the yard of their new home. Needless to say, William's skills advanced fairly over time.
: Years passed and Piers returned home from his travels in Vylbrand. In that time, Piers worked part time as a bow-for-hire and fell for a Miqo'te girl. Over time, they got a house, yet she would mooch gil off of Piers and eventually kicked Piers out of "their" house for an Auri girl. Defeated, he returned home. He had found the location of the new family home and noticed William practicing archery. Piers took pride in his skills of archery and believed he should be the best archer in the family, although he does not care whether Rod was good or not for some reason. As he came around the corner, he noticed William hit a bullseye thrice in a row. Piers' resent for William was reignited. For months they would have petty competitions too see who was the better archer.
: When William was about 15, he and Piers had one of their usual archery competitions. After each round, William was always closer to the center than Piers. At a moment when William was ready to shoot his next arrow at the target, Piers yelled out that he cheats each time. As he was ranting aloud, William shrugged it off until he could no longer. Piers then accused William that he was never really loved by his mother, such that it was all out of pity. William could not hold back much longer and as he released the arrow from the bow, he immediately turned to Piers to tell him off, yet the arrow was still in the bowstring. The arrow managed to hit the bullseye, but not on the target and instead in Piers' left eye. He fell to the ground screaming and writhing in pain. Piers yelled obscenities and slurs toward William. William considered taking out his wand to cure Piers, but he fled the yard instead. He returned about 75 minutes later to the house to see Piers passed out in the living room with the arrow still in the eye. William attempted to cure the eye. As he casted the spell, he slowly remove the arrow from Piers' eye. He noticed Piers' body relax some and soon woke up. Piers woke up wondering why he felt no pain rubbing his eyes. He opened his eyes and rubbed his left eye some more. He could see out his right but not in his left. Starting to panic, he ran to a mirror nearby , nearly tripping on a stool. He looked in the mirror to see his left eye foggy. Piers was blind in his left eye. Piers screamed out in horror and blamed William that he could never practice archery again. In the morning, Piers was gone and was not heard from again, officially.

=== ''Adulthood'' ===
====The Beginnings of an Adventurer====
: At the age of sixteen, after all the years following tragedy after tragedy, William finally prepared to set off for Gridania. On the day before he sets off for an adventurer's life, he prepared his bow, one made by his father. He had wondered whether or not fame would come for him quickly as his family name is of Chambers. He does not want to easily be significant as the "Son of Solmunder Chambers". He went to his father for advice upon the matter and contemplated whether going by another name should suffice. Solmunder sat him down next to him and took his old fedora off and plopped onto William's head. He told him how he should do what he feels is right and never look back. He agreed wholeheartedly with William considering to go by another name. He even told him a little story..
:: "Aye Will, ye listen close. Once upon eh time there was eh young Lominsan lad who lived amongst eh family of ruthless 'n coldhearted killehs 'n theives. 'E was forced to join th' crew iffen 'e wants some grub and eh night's rest. 'Pon the day of 'is eighteenth nameday, 'e mustered 'is courage t' leave 'is godsforsaken home, iffen it could be called eh home. 'E took to th' ports of Limsa Lominsa 'n 'e found eh small cargo ship to th' mainland 'o Aldenard. 'E arrived en Vesper Bay where 'e could 'ear some word of eh trip to th' Shroud. Now 'e was quite skilled en the disciplines of archery 'n spearin', so Gridania was quite th' place for harnessin' 'is skills. 'E took the first journey to th' Shroud and landed en th' Adventurer's Guild. They at th' time were-eh pryin' for th' lad's name. 'E could not take aftah 'is true name, for 'e could be eithah arrested by th' Serpents or found by 'is twisted family! 'Is 'eart was racin' so 'e scrubbed off o' 'is last name for 'is new name. Chambers. See lad, for 'e was I. When I was at 'bout ye' age for even I was at ye' place. I needed t' make eh name for me-self. 'N that I did, lad. I rose the to th' tops o' ranks of th' Wailers n' I even met ye motheh. She'd be quite proud of ye decision. Take 'tis hat wit' ye wherever ye go. 'Tis nice for th' formal nights 'n even was what ye motheh noticed first of me!"
: William had not known of his father's history before the Wailers before now. He took the fancy hat and packed it in his suitcase with his other clothes. He grabbed his old wand and placed it near his bow when his brother came to see him. He had been practicing archery everyday to prepare for this moment. Rod wished him luck for his journeys ahead and urged him to never give up when things seems hard.

: ■✖Athilda Chambers née Arrowe, (Mother)
:: [[File:Athilda_Chambers.jpg|right|250px|Athilda Chambers]]
::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "My mother is my true inspiration to why I remain healing. It's what she would have wanted.."</div>
:::: Athilda was born in the streets of Ul'Dah, not knowing her true family. She would be a thief in order to get a meal, occasionaly stealing from the marketplace. One day, the grocer took notice of her actions and let the game continue for a while until she confronted her. Athilda, being scared of being arrested, attempted to run, yet was caught immediately. The grocer caught her by the Weavers' Guild and inquired about her life. She told her that she had no home, no family, and no food. Without a second thought, the grocer took her in and raised her. The grocer's name was Petra Arrowe. As she grew older, Athilda, moved to the Shroud to make a name for herself. She thanked her foster mother for everything she's done for her and stayed in touch.
::::Before her marriage to William's father, she gave birth to Roderick, William's oldest brother, yet she was rather promiscuous during her twenties, so Roderick's biological father is unknown but assumed to be a Gods' Quiver archer. Having changed her ways, she found Solmunder eight years later and fell in love and married. They had their first son together Piers and then nine years later their second son William. Athilda lived her life as conjurer for the Twin Adders. Both she and Solmunder were fighting with the Grand Companies at Cartenau against the Garlean menace before the Calamity struck. Solmunder fought valiantly and took many Garlean lives with Athilda alongside him. As they were taking out the enemy, Athilda was caught blindsided and was slew by an Imperial Laquearius. Solmunder was filled with rage and pierced the Laquearius through its heart. Solmunder survived the battle and returned home to his children after the Calamity struck and informed them of the tragic news. William took it hardest of all. Only being twelve at the time of this calamity, he was really close to his mother and she would show him conjury tricks. Whenever William heals for his party, he always thinks of his mother guiding him through to victory..

: ■Solmunder Chambers, (Father)
:: [[File:Solmunder_Chambers.jpg|right|250px|Solmunder Chambers]]
::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "My father would never let any bad situation ruin his sense of humor!"</div>
:::: Solmunder Chambers came from a terrible household in Limsa Lominsa. He was born to a family of vile pirates known as the Chamberlain Crew. He was forced to partake in villainous crimes if he was to get a meal and bed each day. When he became eighteen years of age, he mustered the courage to hitch a ship to Aldenard without saying one word to his family. He arrived in Vesper Bay and changed his name to Chambers, for slight differentiation from his family. He trekked to the Shroud in hopes to learn either archery or lancing; upon his arrival to Gridania, he learned the latter. He became skilled quickly enough for one of the Wood Wailers to take notice and suggest him to be a private among them. For many years he was an esteemed Wood Wailer and caught the eye of a fan, Athilda. They met at the Carline Canopy when Solmunder was off duty and Athilda noticed him. She approached him commending him for his valor in protecting the Shroud and immediately hit it off. They would always make jokes with each other with Solmunder always cracking horrible puns, yet Athilda laughed anyways. Athilda's nickname for Solmunder was "Sully" and although he wasn't too fond of it, it did not bother him either way; His nickname for her was Thillie and she liked it. They worked together roaming the Shroud, vanquishing any threat to Gridania with Athilda supporting Sully as he fought head-on.

:::: After the passing of his wife, Solmunder tried to keep his joy alive by providing for their children. Sully was only in his early forties yet became weak at holding his lance for long. Roderick, who was proficient at archery, joined the Gods' Bow to provide coin for the family. Sully, being grateful for Rod's generosity, officially retired his lance and stayed at home to tend to the family crops. William loved his father dearly and would always assist him when Sully is unable to move around. William talked to his father about leaving to provide even more for his family. William even mentioned desiring to change his surname to became notable for his own deeds, not his father's. Solmunder was quite the opposite of being disappointed and gave William a big hug and told him he was proud of that decision and mentioned his own story of coming to Aldenard. To this day, William provides 45 percent of his earnings to his family and visits home every now and then. His father is his inspiration for whenever William cracks a silly pun and would think of him every time he does.
: ■♦Piers Chambers, (Brother)
:: [[File:Piers_Chambers.jpg|right|250px|Piers Chambers]]
::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "Piers and I never really saw eye to eye. He always tried to rival me in archery, even when his accuracy was low.."</div>
:::: Piers is the middle child in the Chambers' family and felt he was only treated as such. He felt so much praise until William was born, and from then on he tended to resent him. William tried to show his love for his brother, but was never noticed. So he simply gave up and did not care for him. When their mother was killed in battle, there was even more disgust between the brothers. Piers always thought their mother favored William over him and he was filled with anger. Soon after, Piers left for Limsa Lominsa to get away from the family for a while. He had hoped his excile will cure his anger. In the meantime, Roderick taught William archery and became a prodigy at it. A few years passed and Piers returned home having made minor success and lost it all when he fell for a Miqo'te courtesan. He thought she truly loved him so he gave her a home in the Mist for them to live together. However, she mooched off gil after gil until she had the deed of the house and kicked him out for an Auri girl. He had but no choice to return home.

:::: Upon his return to Hyrstmill, he had noticed that the family had moved out of the hamlet and into a house in the Lavender Beds. When he found where the family was living at, he noticed William practicing archery in the yard with a target. He noticed William hit a bullseye with each shot. Piers did not like how William was better at archery than he and this refueled his anger. For the years to follow, they would pointlessly compete at archery. During one of these competitions, Piers blew a gasket and accused William of cheating everytime. William, unable to keep his cool, was about to make a shot at the target and turned to tell off Piers, but the arrow was released. The arrow flew and pierced Piers in the eye. Piers, writhing in pain screamed out obscenities toward William. William, knowing the conjury spell Cure, could have healed Piers if done immediately, but ran in fear. He came back home that night attempting to cure Piers' pain. The pain was gone, but Piers could never see in his left eye again. To this day, Piers is somewhere in Ul'Dah with his exact whereabouts unknown. William would once in a while recieve death threats from an anonymous sender, yet he could always recognize Piers' penmanship.

=Prompts=
==F.A.Q.'s==
: ■ Does your character have siblings or family members in their age group? Which one are they closest with?
:: William’s two siblings have a big age gap from William, with Piers being 9 years older and Rod being 17 years older. William is not remotely close to Piers any way. They have had too much bad blood over the years. Rod however remains very close to William, as he first taught him archery as he became a novice. Any other relatives are unknown as his father came from a family of pirates and his mother grew up in the streets of Ul’Dah.
: ■ What is/was your character’s relationship with their mother like?
:: While she was still alive, she would always tell William stories of her adventures with his father each night as a child. William loved his mother dearly such that she is the true reason he kept healing. She taught him the basic heal Cure as a child. There were several instances where he became so flustered, he considered retiring his codex. Yet he remembered his mother would never give up in the heat of battle, so neither should he.
: ■ What is/was your character’s relationship with their father like?
:: His relationship to his father is quite as loving as his relationship to his mother! Before Rod was actually teaching William archery, it was his father who gave him his first bow and arrow set. Even thouch his father was adept lancing, he had knew archery as well. When he presented William his own set, at roughly nine years old, his father demonstrated archery to him by taking three arrows from a quiver, placing each in his bow, and accurately shot the bullseye! William’s face was filled with awe and his love for archery began. His father’s jokes also rubbed off onto William, which eventually became everyone else’s misfortune. Every cracked pun blossomed from the sole purpose to simply make everyone happy, as his father made him.
: ■ Has your character ever witnessed something that fundamentally changed them? If so, does anyone else know?
:: A year into William’s travels, having been months since he became a Warrior of Light, he was assisting the historical scholars of NOAH with emergence of the Crystal Tower. William was mainly a user of white magic and was hesitant to pick up a new skill at the time. He was tasked with preventing the realm becoming a World of Darkness. There was another healer in his group, one whose techniques differed from his own. He had not seen a healer perform abilities like these before. In duty, William took notice that their Warrior was taking too much damage at a point for William to replenish health quick enough. The Warrior got weak enough to the point where William was forced to grant him Benediction. The other healer managed to take over the main healing and was granting him aetheric shields to nullify incoming damage. William was astounded to see such a trick done in battle. After the duty was complete, he asked the other healer in the group where he learned such skills; he told him to find Alka Zolka and ask her the ways of the Nymian Scholar. Henceforth, he dedicated his following days studying the abilities of a Scholar in battle and became an adept Scholar under the great Nymian Scholar Surito Carito.
: ■ On an average day, what can be found in your character’s pockets?
:: Usually pocket lint.
: ■ What does your OC look for in a friend? Do they value friendship a lot?
:: What William finds for in a friend is someone who he is able to put his trust into, someone who he knows respects him as he to them, and someone who can put up with all of his dang shenanigans! Does he value friendship? Are chocobo couriers actually yellow chocobos splathered with tar? Yes! Friendship means everything to William and never wants to sever ties with someone he has grown see as a friend.
: ■ Is there a place they go to in order to escape the world, the stresses of life? What’s their favourite place?
:: Whenever William feels stressed from either a poor dungeon dive or surrounded by plenty of drama, he either resides within the study of his home to review over past tomes or journeys to Tailfeather to surround himself with the chocobos within their natural habitat. Either resolution renders William at peace.
: ■ What are concepts they value? Virtues? What do they look down upon?
:: William values the safety of his friends at all times within a duty. Whether he chooses to be the designated healer or a bard, he refuses to allow his party to fail, or even perish. He also values his friends above all else. As his virtues, William selects loyalty, as in to each other, and family, as in he places his family above everything else, whether it be his blood family or his friends who he looks to as a family. William looks down upon a betrayal of trust. He finds it very hard to mend broken ties, yet can turn the other cheek if necessary.
: ■Do they have a guilty conscience? Why? Did they ever do something they totally regretted?
:: William is as innocent as he’s going to get. He totally does not enact shenanigans in public as the Chocobo. What if he was the Chocobo? He would not regret it one bit. He finds it hilarious to be stared at when he conducts his weekly foray into Issom-Har in his chocobo suit. However the most shenanigans he would openly admit to would be shuffling up Sugis’ books. Yet he really needs to learn to conduct his prank while she isn’t home..
: ■ What are Tropes you associate with your muse?
:: ● Bookworm since he studies old tomes he’s collected from the Gubal Library during some of Sugis’ forays, yet while he does not have a collection of tomes to amount Sugis’, his collection sums to an estimate of sixty.
:: ● a literal Scholar, while that may be preferred healing job in duties, he tends to overly study past civilizations. He has recently taken an interest in the War of the Magi and regularly conducts expeditions to the Yafaem saltmoors for Mhach and the Wanderer’s Palace to communicate with the tonberries of Nym, if he manages to find a sane tonberry.
:: ● Chocobo.
: ■ If given a million dollars, what would your OC do?
:: “Dollars? Is that a currency? The only common currency used across Eorzea is gil, so I’ll assume the question will refer to gil.”
:: William upon given a million gil will immediately donate a quarter to his family for however his father seems fit, a quarter to his free company to fund their move from their current base of a cottage in the Lavender Beds into a mansion of appealing scenary, a quarter to the Adventurer’s Guild for showing how even a Warrior of Light can make his start with them, and the remaining quarter for himself for various luxuries for his private house (totally not decorating it fully in chocobo decor).
==Other O.C.'s Relationships==
===Sugis Kevade===
: ■"Rumor has it that William deals in shady blackmarket business what with multiplw people seeing him go into the Kevade Mansion so often...."
:: While that may appear so, his business at the mansion is strictly personal! He considers the “Void” officers friends! While Suvi is verbally annoyed by his jokes, William notices a smirk followed by disbelief upon his face. On occasion, he may give business advice, as he runs his free company. While he stays out of specific business details, he cares not for whatever “shady” business is conducted, yet refuses to get involved in actual dealings. Although on one instance, he proposed that Suvi hire William’s older brother to do some secretarial work.
: William's memories of Sugis
:: ⭐️ One memory of William remembers is the day they first met in a duty to clear the first hall of Dzemael Darkhold. William on occasion tells Sugis how he both regrets and is grateful for that encounter.
:: ⭐️ No matter what’s happening, whether it be a dangerous raid or utter nonsense, William and Sugis will not hesitate to be sarcastic and sassy to each other.
:: ⭐️ William will not step one foot inside Sugis’ house. He once did and he was frightened by the sheer number of books in her house. Her house would put the Gubal Library out of business.
:: ⭐️ How many puns does it take for William to get on Sugis’s nerves. A skele-ton. She’d punish him, but that in itself would be helping his situation.
: Sugis' memories of William
:: ⭐️ Despite a slight age gap, and the fact that Will is /technically an adult/ Sugis still treats him like a child when it comes to his safety.
:: ⭐️ Sugis quit drinking due to something that happened involving dungeon crawling, Will pressuring a drunken Ishgardian Dragoon to “Do It”, and multiple Gas Bombs.
:: ⭐️ She likes to tease him, lightheartedly, about girls and when he’s gonna start dating to fluster him.
:: ⭐️ If there was a gil for every time she shouted “You’re grounded” to Will… She’d probably be rich(er).
:: ⭐️ Sugis takes the more serious marks for hunts and mercenary related stuff because she doesn’t want to see Will get hurt.
===Riaa Alteir===
: Riaa's memories of William
:: ⭐️ Riaa thinks that William is quite silly, but she appreciates it. Most people are too serious so it’s a nice change. She especially likes the OH JEEZ
:: ⭐️ to the point now where Riaa gleefully joins in on the OH JEEZ as well. She isn’t too bothered if it’s bugging anybody, but she’s definately having fun with it, and figures if SHE’S having fun with it then William must also be having fun too and YAY FUN.
:: ⭐️ She likes his hat. Not any specific one, just all of them. (Riaa really likes the chocobo head though, she thinks it’s hilarious.)
:: ⭐️ (Weed-Lizard) After the pixie stix incident, Mariko is worried about the purity of her candy, and as such double-triple checks that it’s not got anything else in. She’s also a bit worried that William managed to get tweaked out like that. On candy. How even…?
===Darius Kinkaid===
: Darius' memories of William
:: ⭐️ Darius knows about William through his subordinate, Ringabel [Sugis]. He’s heard nothing but good things, but is convinced William lives in a constant state of thinking everyone is going to die in an instant.
:: ⭐️ Darius also believes William was a chocobo in a past life.
:: ⭐️ When they first met, them two didn’t speak much outside of momentary jokes and the like, but they both soon found out they both read stories about a fictional group of heroes. The first book in question? “Red Helm and the Vandals.” There are other books, but William is convinced Darius idolizes this “Red Helm” character. He’s not absolutely wrong.
:: ⭐️ Since finding out about his sister, Darius has attended every small party William and his Free Company has thrown. The scholar in question is the only person who knows Darius disguises himself as an entertainer in a Vanu Vanu outfit.
:: ⭐️ William is constantly forgetting who Darius is, claiming he had seen him before in outlandish roles and places. It is unknown if William just does this to try and get inside Darius’s head or if it’s honestly forgetfulness.
:: ⭐️ Darius and William finally became friends when a mishap occurred while questing. They both had said “Oh Jeez” at the same time, rendering odd looks from both parties.

:'''Logan Holden''', began life simply, living in Moraby Bay, with his father who was a fisherman, his mother who was a Yellowjacket, and his twin sister who looked very little like him. When he was nineteen years old, a voice called him away to adventure, to face a rising threat. Although originally unwilling to leave his happy and peaceful life behind, his sister urged him onwards, and together the pair became adventurers. Logan quickly adopted to the simple style of combat employed by Gladiators, and found security behind the heavy armour and shields they bore, relying on them more than agility to protect both himself and those around him. His eagerness to assist led to being noticed by the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, and he eagerly became a member.



==Free Company: Awoken Wanderers==

==Logan's Typical Inventory==
'''Last updated:''' N/A
: - Items

=Appearance=
[[File:Logan holden causal.png|right|350px]]
'''Height:''' 5 fulms 11 ilms

'''Weight:''' 186 ponz

'''Complexion: ''' Fair.

'''Hair: ''' Dark brown.

'''Eyes: ''' Dark brown.

: Logan's just above average height, with wide shoulders, and lots of muscle from hefting around his armour and shield, as well as putting them to use quite often. You'd be hard pressed to see them, aside from those on his arms, but Logan's covered in many small scrapes and scars from his many battles, though nothing that hasn't been able to be healed up for the most part. His hair is thick and soft, his eyes watchful, and his face looking like he's either very focused or a little upset, unless he's actively trying to look happy.

=Behavior=
=== '''''Behavior''''' ===
: Logan does his best to always be respectful of others upon meeting them, and generally stays quiet and lets them talk, until he's required to speak. When he is, he tends to answer in the shortest form possible, and often stammers through words until he can get a feel of the person and the conversation.
: When with people he trusts and feels comfortable with, he's far more open and enjoys telling jokes, stories, and listening to others. Even still, you'll often find him on his own, or to one side, as being around a lot of people can make him uncomfortable after long periods of time. He enjoys his quieter time to himself quite a bit.
: Logan is incredibly hard to make angry, though he may feign annoyance and frustration to give what he assumes is the desired reaction from a joke. He always makes sure you know when he's serious, and he hopes he'll get your attention as much as he'd give you his.
: The only time you'll see Logan honestly upset or angry is towards those who don't understand how to take care of others, or those who have betrayed or hurt people. He has little tolerance for the evils of the world, and holds fast to the phrase "do unto others as you would have them do unto you".
: If possible, Logan will prevent the death of any intelligent being, from the Elezen of Isghard to the Kobolds of La Noscea, putting his shield and sword pommel to good use. He does, however, accept that Eorzea is embroiled in violent conflicts, and that peaceful solutions are not always possible, and is willing to kill if necessary.

=== '''''Fears''''' ===
: ■ Ever since the Calamity, Logan's been scared of dragons. After being introduced to the more peaceful side of dragons in Dravania, his fear has lessened, but they can still make him heavily uneasy.
: ■ Being in a leadership position among his friends and even Eorzea, he's terrified of failure and letting down those who hold him to such a high standard.

===Preferences===
: Logan's ideal is someone who's willing to trust him, and open themselves to the same trust. Someone who's willing to work with him to create a solid relationship, knowing they'll have problems, but ready to work through them. He expects to have children and looks forward to raising a family.
: That said, he ended up infatuated with the mysterious Miqo'te, Aiko Slanda, who appeared early in his journey away from home. While she doesn't seem to fit his ideals at all, he nonetheless fell for her, knowing that as much as she needed the stability he was sure he could provide, but that she might hold a key to pushing him forward as a person, and to experience life to its fullest.

=== '''''Weapons''''' ===
William is currently learning the ways of nearly all disciplines and to their advanced job. If he had the choice, he would remain healing, and would rather stay away from the battle's front. Overtime, William learned to embrace the inevitable moment of conflict and thus began apprenticing the many disciplines. Some disciplines interest William enough to even put forth more time into mastering the techniques. The weapons William uses in conflict are as follows:[[File:wf_270_scholar_relic_anabis.jpg|right|500px]]

: ■Regenerative magic.
: ■Shielding magic.
: ■Embrace by the Echo
: ■Aetheric channeling

=== '''''Crafting''''' ===
As he was still making a name for himself before becoming a Warrior of Light, he would partake in the work of alchemy. He has always enjoyed the act of making elixers to assist his allies with enhancing their abilities or replenishing their vigor. As of late, William has temporarily retired the craft of alchemy simply to put other needs forward. In order for him to advance his skills of alchemy, he must learn the ways of other crafts to further his own skills. He is currently working on learning the ways of the goldsmithing, leatherworking, and smithing in order to learn the technique to self-repair his gear that is composed of such craft.

=== '''''Talents''''' ===
: ■Summoning of each egi and faerie together at a time, yet not in combat.
: ■Taught his gaelikitten to retrieve objects on command.
: ■Proficient in archery to be able to shoot three arrows at once at a target.

=Background=
: “My name is William Fedorason.
: For years I have faced a major calamity with only one goal:
: To save my realm. Now others have joined with me in my company.
: To them, I am William, but to the rest of Eorzea,
: I am the Warrior of Light.”

:: -From a letter to Ser Aymeric de Borel in regards to assisting in the Dragonsong War.
=== ''Birth and childhood (0-10)'' ===
: Born William Chambers in the year 1560 of the Sixth Astral Era, he was raised within the hamlet of Hyrstmill of the northern Shroud. His parents are Solmunder Chambers, a well decorated Wood Wailer, and Athilda Chambers, a skilled conjurer for the Twin Adders. He has two older brothers, Piers Chambers, who's a moderate archer and only 9 years older, and Roderick Arrowe, his half-brother who's was a skilled archer among the Gods' Bow and now a secretary for the free company of <<VOID>>. At young age, archery interested him a great deal. His father would craft him his own bow and dulled arrows to play with. Though he was no good, he still enjoyed it no matter what. Whenever William would injure himself when he plays outside, his mother always use her skills of conjury to cure his wounds. Over time, William learned to cure on his own, but not much more conjury than that.
=== ''Adolescent Years'' ===
: As William grew, he met his now best friends in Old Gridania. At the age of eleven, he was tasked to travel to the city to pick up some seeds and tools from the Botanist's Guild to replenish his family's farm. When the guildmaster unfortunately stated there were no such seeds available for pickup, there was an Elezen kid who was also purchasing seeds who had came before him. He had noticed the despair in William's face and gave him a portion of his seeds. He had introduced himself as Brandon. Days passed and they would meet up to hang out, and William was introduced to Brandon's friends: Tyler Ultimathule, an Elezen, and Aries Xela, a Miqo'te who was typically called Alex. The four of them would become inseparable over time.
: William had minimal previous magical encounters. He once came across an altercation between the Sharlayan Circle of Knowing and a dark robed Mage. Apparently there was a surge of aetheric energy coming from near the Ehcatl 9 tribe, the docile Ixali group. William, only twelve at the time, was out gathering some firewood when the Mage confronted him. Frightened, William was cornered into a cavern. He noticed the Mage preparing to cast some magical attack, but was cut short when a Miqote conjurer, Highlander pugilist, and a Lalafellan thaumaturge confronted him. The Mage directed his attacks to hit the pugilist as some magic deflected off her and hit William instead. The conjurer came to his aid and cured his wounds. She remained by his side as the thaumaturge managed to harm the Mage. The Mage soon dissipated away. The three heroes of the hour introduced themselves as Y'shtola, Yda, and Papalymo respectively. They mentioned to William to contact them whenever there is a similar issue in the future. They dedicated there life to protecting the innocent from the forces of darkness saving the realm from calamity. From that day forward, William decided to become an adventurer and aspired to become like them, for he could discern true heroism within them.
====The Calamity Strikes====
: With word of the "Meteor Project" coming to the light of the Eorzean Alliance, the grand companies and allied free companies took up arms to defend the Carteneau Flats from the Garlean menace. William's parents both took up arms to fight with the Twin Adders. At home, William was sitting outside his cottage with his brothers watching the slow descent of the false moon. Though he and Piers never truly saw eye to eye, this may be the only time when they are united. His friends had shown up to wait out the world’s immenent demise. William felt powerless. He wanted to do something about the inevitable calamity that would affect his quaint hamlet. He saw the enormous cracks forming upon Dalamud and something spoke to him inside his head.
:: “Save them later. Be…a…hero…”
: The voice felt as if someone was echoing right behind him, yet when he turned around to check, there was only a dissipating mist. He had asked to his friends around if they heard anything nearby, but they denied. William looked back up to the falling moon as it suddenly bursts as the Dreadwyrm breaks free. William and his friends stand up in shock as Bahamut ravages the land. The first thought to pop in William’s head was the Circle of Knowing that he had met a month prior. He had hoped they would save the realm from total annihilation. William noticed the people around him either crying or standing in complete shock. He notice one man pick up his young daughter and held her tight saying “Everything will be alright sometime soon.” He could see a hunk of the false moon fall near the southern border of the North Shroud. Suddenly a flash of white bright light covers the realm. Soon after, the Dreadwyrm disappears without a trace. Eorzea, a realm reborn out of a tragic calamity, needs a hero.

====A Family in Shambles====
: It has been five hours since the disappearance of Bahamut and William and his brothers are waiting anxiously for their parents to return. It was about the middle of the night when Roderick noticed a tired man carrying a woman in his arms. He trudged toward the cottage and as the light shined on his face, it was their father with tears flooding from his eyes. Roderick yelled for Piers and William to wake up. William came immediately outside and saw his father carrying his mother in his arms. William promptly yelled for his mother to wake up. With tears trailing from his eyes, he attempted to cast Cure on her, but to no avail. He attempted to execute a spell he has been learning, Raise. For a slight moment, he had heard the voice from before, but was indistinguishable. By the grace of the Twelve, his mother's eyes opened. She was awake, but not for long. She could speak, but she was very weak. Solmunder was speechless to witness such a temporary miracle. Athilda knew she would be passing soon, so she gave each a hug and a kiss. She told them all to be well and live happy whilst urging to remain together. Her last breath passed as she took hold on to William's hand before losing her grip on her mortal coil.
: Weeks passed after the passing of Athilda and Piers took excile from his Gridanian home to move to Limsa Lominsa for a new life. With two family members being gone from the home, only Solmunder, Roderick, and William remained. Solmunder tried to remain cheerful in the times of grief, yet he is always reminded of the dreadful day of the Calamity. Rod took notice of his father's decline in strength and mobility over time. He believed it to be caused by the grief and the PTSD from the moment Athilda's life started slipping. Rod thought to move the family to start over. Within two months, the family moved out of Hyrstmill and into the Lavender Beds. Once settled in, Rod taught William archery in the yard of their new home. Needless to say, William's skills advanced fairly over time.
: Years passed and Piers returned home from his travels in Vylbrand. In that time, Piers worked part time as a bow-for-hire and fell for a Miqo'te girl. Over time, they got a house, yet she would mooch gil off of Piers and eventually kicked Piers out of "their" house for an Auri girl. Defeated, he returned home. He had found the location of the new family home and noticed William practicing archery. Piers took pride in his skills of archery and believed he should be the best archer in the family, although he does not care whether Rod was good or not for some reason. As he came around the corner, he noticed William hit a bullseye thrice in a row. Piers' resent for William was reignited. For months they would have petty competitions too see who was the better archer.
: When William was about 15, he and Piers had one of their usual archery competitions. After each round, William was always closer to the center than Piers. At a moment when William was ready to shoot his next arrow at the target, Piers yelled out that he cheats each time. As he was ranting aloud, William shrugged it off until he could no longer. Piers then accused William that he was never really loved by his mother, such that it was all out of pity. William could not hold back much longer and as he released the arrow from the bow, he immediately turned to Piers to tell him off, yet the arrow was still in the bowstring. The arrow managed to hit the bullseye, but not on the target and instead in Piers' left eye. He fell to the ground screaming and writhing in pain. Piers yelled obscenities and slurs toward William. William considered taking out his wand to cure Piers, but he fled the yard instead. He returned about 75 minutes later to the house to see Piers passed out in the living room with the arrow still in the eye. William attempted to cure the eye. As he casted the spell, he slowly remove the arrow from Piers' eye. He noticed Piers' body relax some and soon woke up. Piers woke up wondering why he felt no pain rubbing his eyes. He opened his eyes and rubbed his left eye some more. He could see out his right but not in his left. Starting to panic, he ran to a mirror nearby , nearly tripping on a stool. He looked in the mirror to see his left eye foggy. Piers was blind in his left eye. Piers screamed out in horror and blamed William that he could never practice archery again. In the morning, Piers was gone and was not heard from again, officially.

=== ''Adulthood'' ===
====The Beginnings of an Adventurer====
: At the age of sixteen, after all the years following tragedy after tragedy, William finally prepared to set off for Gridania. On the day before he sets off for an adventurer's life, he prepared his bow, one made by his father. He had wondered whether or not fame would come for him quickly as his family name is of Chambers. He does not want to easily be significant as the "Son of Solmunder Chambers". He went to his father for advice upon the matter and contemplated whether going by another name should suffice. Solmunder sat him down next to him and took his old fedora off and plopped onto William's head. He told him how he should do what he feels is right and never look back. He agreed wholeheartedly with William considering to go by another name. He even told him a little story..
:: "Aye Will, ye listen close. Once upon eh time there was eh young Lominsan lad who lived amongst eh family of ruthless 'n coldhearted killehs 'n theives. 'E was forced to join th' crew iffen 'e wants some grub and eh night's rest. 'Pon the day of 'is eighteenth nameday, 'e mustered 'is courage t' leave 'is godsforsaken home, iffen it could be called eh home. 'E took to th' ports of Limsa Lominsa 'n 'e found eh small cargo ship to th' mainland 'o Aldenard. 'E arrived en Vesper Bay where 'e could 'ear some word of eh trip to th' Shroud. Now 'e was quite skilled en the disciplines of archery 'n spearin', so Gridania was quite th' place for harnessin' 'is skills. 'E took the first journey to th' Shroud and landed en th' Adventurer's Guild. They at th' time were-eh pryin' for th' lad's name. 'E could not take aftah 'is true name, for 'e could be eithah arrested by th' Serpents or found by 'is twisted family! 'Is 'eart was racin' so 'e scrubbed off o' 'is last name for 'is new name. Chambers. See lad, for 'e was I. When I was at 'bout ye' age for even I was at ye' place. I needed t' make eh name for me-self. 'N that I did, lad. I rose the to th' tops o' ranks of th' Wailers n' I even met ye motheh. She'd be quite proud of ye decision. Take 'tis hat wit' ye wherever ye go. 'Tis nice for th' formal nights 'n even was what ye motheh noticed first of me!"
: William had not known of his father's history before the Wailers before now. He took the fancy hat and packed it in his suitcase with his other clothes. He grabbed his old wand and placed it near his bow when his brother came to see him. He had been practicing archery everyday to prepare for this moment. Rod wished him luck for his journeys ahead and urged him to never give up when things seems hard.

===Family===

: ■✖Athilda Chambers née Arrowe, (Mother)
:: [[File:Athilda_Chambers.jpg|right|250px|Athilda Chambers]]
::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "My mother is my true inspiration to why I remain healing. It's what she would have wanted.."</div>
:::: Athilda was born in the streets of Ul'Dah, not knowing her true family. She would be a thief in order to get a meal, occasionaly stealing from the marketplace. One day, the grocer took notice of her actions and let the game continue for a while until she confronted her. Athilda, being scared of being arrested, attempted to run, yet was caught immediately. The grocer caught her by the Weavers' Guild and inquired about her life. She told her that she had no home, no family, and no food. Without a second thought, the grocer took her in and raised her. The grocer's name was Petra Arrowe. As she grew older, Athilda, moved to the Shroud to make a name for herself. She thanked her foster mother for everything she's done for her and stayed in touch.
::::Before her marriage to William's father, she gave birth to Roderick, William's oldest brother, yet she was rather promiscuous during her twenties, so Roderick's biological father is unknown but assumed to be a Gods' Quiver archer. Having changed her ways, she found Solmunder eight years later and fell in love and married. They had their first son together Piers and then nine years later their second son William. Athilda lived her life as conjurer for the Twin Adders. Both she and Solmunder were fighting with the Grand Companies at Cartenau against the Garlean menace before the Calamity struck. Solmunder fought valiantly and took many Garlean lives with Athilda alongside him. As they were taking out the enemy, Athilda was caught blindsided and was slew by an Imperial Laquearius. Solmunder was filled with rage and pierced the Laquearius through its heart. Solmunder survived the battle and returned home to his children after the Calamity struck and informed them of the tragic news. William took it hardest of all. Only being twelve at the time of this calamity, he was really close to his mother and she would show him conjury tricks. Whenever William heals for his party, he always thinks of his mother guiding him through to victory..

: ■Solmunder Chambers, (Father)
:: [[File:Solmunder_Chambers.jpg|right|250px|Solmunder Chambers]]
::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "My father would never let any bad situation ruin his sense of humor!"</div>
:::: Solmunder Chambers came from a terrible household in Limsa Lominsa. He was born to a family of vile pirates known as the Chamberlain Crew. He was forced to partake in villainous crimes if he was to get a meal and bed each day. When he became eighteen years of age, he mustered the courage to hitch a ship to Aldenard without saying one word to his family. He arrived in Vesper Bay and changed his name to Chambers, for slight differentiation from his family. He trekked to the Shroud in hopes to learn either archery or lancing; upon his arrival to Gridania, he learned the latter. He became skilled quickly enough for one of the Wood Wailers to take notice and suggest him to be a private among them. For many years he was an esteemed Wood Wailer and caught the eye of a fan, Athilda. They met at the Carline Canopy when Solmunder was off duty and Athilda noticed him. She approached him commending him for his valor in protecting the Shroud and immediately hit it off. They would always make jokes with each other with Solmunder always cracking horrible puns, yet Athilda laughed anyways. Athilda's nickname for Solmunder was "Sully" and although he wasn't too fond of it, it did not bother him either way; His nickname for her was Thillie and she liked it. They worked together roaming the Shroud, vanquishing any threat to Gridania with Athilda supporting Sully as he fought head-on.

:::: After the passing of his wife, Solmunder tried to keep his joy alive by providing for their children. Sully was only in his early forties yet became weak at holding his lance for long. Roderick, who was proficient at archery, joined the Gods' Bow to provide coin for the family. Sully, being grateful for Rod's generosity, officially retired his lance and stayed at home to tend to the family crops. William loved his father dearly and would always assist him when Sully is unable to move around. William talked to his father about leaving to provide even more for his family. William even mentioned desiring to change his surname to became notable for his own deeds, not his father's. Solmunder was quite the opposite of being disappointed and gave William a big hug and told him he was proud of that decision and mentioned his own story of coming to Aldenard. To this day, William provides 45 percent of his earnings to his family and visits home every now and then. His father is his inspiration for whenever William cracks a silly pun and would think of him every time he does.
: ■♦Piers Chambers, (Brother)
:: [[File:Piers_Chambers.jpg|right|250px|Piers Chambers]]
::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "Piers and I never really saw eye to eye. He always tried to rival me in archery, even when his accuracy was low.."</div>
:::: Piers is the middle child in the Chambers' family and felt he was only treated as such. He felt so much praise until William was born, and from then on he tended to resent him. William tried to show his love for his brother, but was never noticed. So he simply gave up and did not care for him. When their mother was killed in battle, there was even more disgust between the brothers. Piers always thought their mother favored William over him and he was filled with anger. Soon after, Piers left for Limsa Lominsa to get away from the family for a while. He had hoped his excile will cure his anger. In the meantime, Roderick taught William archery and became a prodigy at it. A few years passed and Piers returned home having made minor success and lost it all when he fell for a Miqo'te courtesan. He thought she truly loved him so he gave her a home in the Mist for them to live together. However, she mooched off gil after gil until she had the deed of the house and kicked him out for an Auri girl. He had but no choice to return home.

:::: Upon his return to Hyrstmill, he had noticed that the family had moved out of the hamlet and into a house in the Lavender Beds. When he found where the family was living at, he noticed William practicing archery in the yard with a target. He noticed William hit a bullseye with each shot. Piers did not like how William was better at archery than he and this refueled his anger. For the years to follow, they would pointlessly compete at archery. During one of these competitions, Piers blew a gasket and accused William of cheating everytime. William, unable to keep his cool, was about to make a shot at the target and turned to tell off Piers, but the arrow was released. The arrow flew and pierced Piers in the eye. Piers, writhing in pain screamed out obscenities toward William. William, knowing the conjury spell Cure, could have healed Piers if done immediately, but ran in fear. He came back home that night attempting to cure Piers' pain. The pain was gone, but Piers could never see in his left eye again. To this day, Piers is somewhere in Ul'Dah with his exact whereabouts unknown. William would once in a while recieve death threats from an anonymous sender, yet he could always recognize Piers' penmanship.
: ■Roderick Arrowe, (Half-Brother)
:: [[File:Roderick_Arrowe.jpg|right|250px|Roderick Arrowe]]
::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "Rod has always been a wonderful teacher in archery! We both show each other new tricks from time to time!"</div>
:::: Rod grew up never knowing who his real father was, as his mother was promiscuous when he was conceived.

==F.A.Q.'s==
: ■ Does your character have siblings or family members in their age group? Which one are they closest with?
:: William’s two siblings have a big age gap from William, with Piers being 9 years older and Rod being 17 years older. William is not remotely close to Piers any way. They have had too much bad blood over the years. Rod however remains very close to William, as he first taught him archery as he became a novice. Any other relatives are unknown as his father came from a family of pirates and his mother grew up in the streets of Ul’Dah.
: ■ What is/was your character’s relationship with their mother like?
:: While she was still alive, she would always tell William stories of her adventures with his father each night as a child. William loved his mother dearly such that she is the true reason he kept healing. She taught him the basic heal Cure as a child. There were several instances where he became so flustered, he considered retiring his codex. Yet he remembered his mother would never give up in the heat of battle, so neither should he.
: ■ What is/was your character’s relationship with their father like?
:: His relationship to his father is quite as loving as his relationship to his mother! Before Rod was actually teaching William archery, it was his father who gave him his first bow and arrow set. Even thouch his father was adept lancing, he had knew archery as well. When he presented William his own set, at roughly nine years old, his father demonstrated archery to him by taking three arrows from a quiver, placing each in his bow, and accurately shot the bullseye! William’s face was filled with awe and his love for archery began. His father’s jokes also rubbed off onto William, which eventually became everyone else’s misfortune. Every cracked pun blossomed from the sole purpose to simply make everyone happy, as his father made him.
: ■ Has your character ever witnessed something that fundamentally changed them? If so, does anyone else know?
:: A year into William’s travels, having been months since he became a Warrior of Light, he was assisting the historical scholars of NOAH with emergence of the Crystal Tower. William was mainly a user of white magic and was hesitant to pick up a new skill at the time. He was tasked with preventing the realm becoming a World of Darkness. There was another healer in his group, one whose techniques differed from his own. He had not seen a healer perform abilities like these before. In duty, William took notice that their Warrior was taking too much damage at a point for William to replenish health quick enough. The Warrior got weak enough to the point where William was forced to grant him Benediction. The other healer managed to take over the main healing and was granting him aetheric shields to nullify incoming damage. William was astounded to see such a trick done in battle. After the duty was complete, he asked the other healer in the group where he learned such skills; he told him to find Alka Zolka and ask her the ways of the Nymian Scholar. Henceforth, he dedicated his following days studying the abilities of a Scholar in battle and became an adept Scholar under the great Nymian Scholar Surito Carito.
: ■ On an average day, what can be found in your character’s pockets?
:: Usually pocket lint.
: ■ What does your OC look for in a friend? Do they value friendship a lot?
:: What William finds for in a friend is someone who he is able to put his trust into, someone who he knows respects him as he to them, and someone who can put up with all of his dang shenanigans! Does he value friendship? Are chocobo couriers actually yellow chocobos splathered with tar? Yes! Friendship means everything to William and never wants to sever ties with someone he has grown see as a friend.
: ■ Is there a place they go to in order to escape the world, the stresses of life? What’s their favourite place?
:: Whenever William feels stressed from either a poor dungeon dive or surrounded by plenty of drama, he either resides within the study of his home to review over past tomes or journeys to Tailfeather to surround himself with the chocobos within their natural habitat. Either resolution renders William at peace.
: ■ What are concepts they value? Virtues? What do they look down upon?
:: William values the safety of his friends at all times within a duty. Whether he chooses to be the designated healer or a bard, he refuses to allow his party to fail, or even perish. He also values his friends above all else. As his virtues, William selects loyalty, as in to each other, and family, as in he places his family above everything else, whether it be his blood family or his friends who he looks to as a family. William looks down upon a betrayal of trust. He finds it very hard to mend broken ties, yet can turn the other cheek if necessary.
: ■Do they have a guilty conscience? Why? Did they ever do something they totally regretted?
:: William is as innocent as he’s going to get. He totally does not enact shenanigans in public as the Chocobo. What if he was the Chocobo? He would not regret it one bit. He finds it hilarious to be stared at when he conducts his weekly foray into Issom-Har in his chocobo suit. However the most shenanigans he would openly admit to would be shuffling up Sugis’ books. Yet he really needs to learn to conduct his prank while she isn’t home..
: ■ What are Tropes you associate with your muse?
:: ● Bookworm since he studies old tomes he’s collected from the Gubal Library during some of Sugis’ forays, yet while he does not have a collection of tomes to amount Sugis’, his collection sums to an estimate of sixty.
:: ● a literal Scholar, while that may be preferred healing job in duties, he tends to overly study past civilizations. He has recently taken an interest in the War of the Magi and regularly conducts expeditions to the Yafaem saltmoors for Mhach and the Wanderer’s Palace to communicate with the tonberries of Nym, if he manages to find a sane tonberry.
:: ● Chocobo.
: ■ If given a million dollars, what would your OC do?
:: “Dollars? Is that a currency? The only common currency used across Eorzea is gil, so I’ll assume the question will refer to gil.”
:: William upon given a million gil will immediately donate a quarter to his family for however his father seems fit, a quarter to his free company to fund their move from their current base of a cottage in the Lavender Beds into a mansion of appealing scenary, a quarter to the Adventurer’s Guild for showing how even a Warrior of Light can make his start with them, and the remaining quarter for himself for various luxuries for his private house (totally not decorating it fully in chocobo decor).
==Other O.C.'s Relationships==
===Sugis Kevade===
: ■"Rumor has it that William deals in shady blackmarket business what with multiplw people seeing him go into the Kevade Mansion so often...."
:: While that may appear so, his business at the mansion is strictly personal! He considers the “Void” officers friends! While Suvi is verbally annoyed by his jokes, William notices a smirk followed by disbelief upon his face. On occasion, he may give business advice, as he runs his free company. While he stays out of specific business details, he cares not for whatever “shady” business is conducted, yet refuses to get involved in actual dealings. Although on one instance, he proposed that Suvi hire William’s older brother to do some secretarial work.
: William's memories of Sugis
:: ⭐️ One memory of William remembers is the day they first met in a duty to clear the first hall of Dzemael Darkhold. William on occasion tells Sugis how he both regrets and is grateful for that encounter.
:: ⭐️ No matter what’s happening, whether it be a dangerous raid or utter nonsense, William and Sugis will not hesitate to be sarcastic and sassy to each other.
:: ⭐️ William will not step one foot inside Sugis’ house. He once did and he was frightened by the sheer number of books in her house. Her house would put the Gubal Library out of business.
:: ⭐️ How many puns does it take for William to get on Sugis’s nerves. A skele-ton. She’d punish him, but that in itself would be helping his situation.
: Sugis' memories of William
:: ⭐️ Despite a slight age gap, and the fact that Will is /technically an adult/ Sugis still treats him like a child when it comes to his safety.
:: ⭐️ Sugis quit drinking due to something that happened involving dungeon crawling, Will pressuring a drunken Ishgardian Dragoon to “Do It”, and multiple Gas Bombs.
:: ⭐️ She likes to tease him, lightheartedly, about girls and when he’s gonna start dating to fluster him.
:: ⭐️ If there was a gil for every time she shouted “You’re grounded” to Will… She’d probably be rich(er).
:: ⭐️ Sugis takes the more serious marks for hunts and mercenary related stuff because she doesn’t want to see Will get hurt.
===Riaa Alteir===
: Riaa's memories of William
:: ⭐️ Riaa thinks that William is quite silly, but she appreciates it. Most people are too serious so it’s a nice change. She especially likes the OH JEEZ
:: ⭐️ to the point now where Riaa gleefully joins in on the OH JEEZ as well. She isn’t too bothered if it’s bugging anybody, but she’s definately having fun with it, and figures if SHE’S having fun with it then William must also be having fun too and YAY FUN.
:: ⭐️ She likes his hat. Not any specific one, just all of them. (Riaa really likes the chocobo head though, she thinks it’s hilarious.)
:: ⭐️ (Weed-Lizard) After the pixie stix incident, Mariko is worried about the purity of her candy, and as such double-triple checks that it’s not got anything else in. She’s also a bit worried that William managed to get tweaked out like that. On candy. How even…?
===Darius Kinkaid===
: Darius' memories of William
:: ⭐️ Darius knows about William through his subordinate, Ringabel [Sugis]. He’s heard nothing but good things, but is convinced William lives in a constant state of thinking everyone is going to die in an instant.
:: ⭐️ Darius also believes William was a chocobo in a past life.
:: ⭐️ When they first met, them two didn’t speak much outside of momentary jokes and the like, but they both soon found out they both read stories about a fictional group of heroes. The first book in question? “Red Helm and the Vandals.” There are other books, but William is convinced Darius idolizes this “Red Helm” character. He’s not absolutely wrong.
:: ⭐️ Since finding out about his sister, Darius has attended every small party William and his Free Company has thrown. The scholar in question is the only person who knows Darius disguises himself as an entertainer in a Vanu Vanu outfit.
:: ⭐️ William is constantly forgetting who Darius is, claiming he had seen him before in outlandish roles and places. It is unknown if William just does this to try and get inside Darius’s head or if it’s honestly forgetfulness.
:: ⭐️ Darius and William finally became friends when a mishap occurred while questing. They both had said “Oh Jeez” at the same time, rendering odd looks from both parties.

:'''Logan Holden''', began life simply, living in Moraby Bay, with his father who was a fisherman, his mother who was a Yellowjacket, and his twin sister who looked very little like him. When he was nineteen years old, a voice called him away to adventure, to face a rising threat. Although originally unwilling to leave his happy and peaceful life behind, his sister urged him onwards, and together the pair became adventurers. Logan quickly adopted to the simple style of combat employed by Gladiators, and found security behind the heavy armour and shields they bore, relying on them more than agility to protect both himself and those around him. His eagerness to assist led to being noticed by the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, and he eagerly became a member.

'''Last updated:''' N/A
: - Items

=Appearance=
[[File:Logan holden causal.png|right|350px]]
'''Height:''' 5 fulms 11 ilms

'''Weight:''' 186 ponz

'''Complexion: ''' Fair.

'''Hair: ''' Dark brown.

'''Eyes: ''' Dark brown.

: Logan's just above average height, with wide shoulders, and lots of muscle from hefting around his armour and shield, as well as putting them to use quite often. You'd be hard pressed to see them, aside from those on his arms, but Logan's covered in many small scrapes and scars from his many battles, though nothing that hasn't been able to be healed up for the most part. His hair is thick and soft, his eyes watchful, and his face looking like he's either very focused or a little upset, unless he's actively trying to look happy.

=Behavior=
=== '''''Behavior''''' ===
: Logan does his best to always be respectful of others upon meeting them, and generally stays quiet and lets them talk, until he's required to speak. When he is, he tends to answer in the shortest form possible, and often stammers through words until he can get a feel of the person and the conversation.
: When with people he trusts and feels comfortable with, he's far more open and enjoys telling jokes, stories, and listening to others. Even still, you'll often find him on his own, or to one side, as being around a lot of people can make him uncomfortable after long periods of time. He enjoys his quieter time to himself quite a bit.
: Logan is incredibly hard to make angry, though he may feign annoyance and frustration to give what he assumes is the desired reaction from a joke. He always makes sure you know when he's serious, and he hopes he'll get your attention as much as he'd give you his.
: The only time you'll see Logan honestly upset or angry is towards those who don't understand how to take care of others, or those who have betrayed or hurt people. He has little tolerance for the evils of the world, and holds fast to the phrase "do unto others as you would have them do unto you".
: If possible, Logan will prevent the death of any intelligent being, from the Elezen of Isghard to the Kobolds of La Noscea, putting his shield and sword pommel to good use. He does, however, accept that Eorzea is embroiled in violent conflicts, and that peaceful solutions are not always possible, and is willing to kill if necessary.

=== '''''Fears''''' ===
: ■ Ever since the Calamity, Logan's been scared of dragons. After being introduced to the more peaceful side of dragons in Dravania, his fear has lessened, but they can still make him heavily uneasy.
: ■ Being in a leadership position among his friends and even Eorzea, he's terrified of failure and letting down those who hold him to such a high standard.

===Preferences===
: Logan's ideal is someone who's willing to trust him, and open themselves to the same trust. Someone who's willing to work with him to create a solid relationship, knowing they'll have problems, but ready to work through them. He expects to have children and looks forward to raising a family.
: That said, he ended up infatuated with the mysterious Miqo'te, Aiko Slanda, who appeared early in his journey away from home. While she doesn't seem to fit his ideals at all, he nonetheless fell for her, knowing that as much as she needed the stability he was sure he could provide, but that she might hold a key to pushing him forward as a person, and to experience life to its fullest.

=== '''''Weapons''''' ===
William is currently learning the ways of nearly all disciplines and to their advanced job. If he had the choice, he would remain healing, and would rather stay away from the battle's front. Overtime, William learned to embrace the inevitable moment of conflict and thus began apprenticing the many disciplines. Some disciplines interest William enough to even put forth more time into mastering the techniques. The weapons William uses in conflict are as follows:[[File:wf_270_scholar_relic_anabis.jpg|right|500px]]

In order for him to advance his skills of alchemy, he must learn the ways of other crafts to further his own skills.

=Background=
: “My name is William Fedorason.
: For years I have faced a major calamity with only one goal:
: To save my realm. Now others have joined with me in my company.
: To them, I am William, but to the rest of Eorzea,
: I am the Warrior of Light.”

:: -From a letter to Ser Aymeric de Borel in regards to assisting in the Dragonsong War.
=== ''Birth and childhood (0-10)'' ===
: Born William Chambers in the year 1560 of the Sixth Astral Era, he was raised within the hamlet of Hyrstmill of the northern Shroud. His parents are Solmunder Chambers, a well decorated Wood Wailer, and Athilda Chambers, a skilled conjurer for the Twin Adders. He has two older brothers, Piers Chambers, who's a moderate archer and only 9 years older, and Roderick Arrowe, his half-brother who's was a skilled archer among the Gods' Bow and now a secretary for the free company of <<VOID>>. At young age, archery interested him a great deal. His father would craft him his own bow and dulled arrows to play with. Though he was no good, he still enjoyed it no matter what. Whenever William would injure himself when he plays outside, his mother always use her skills of conjury to cure his wounds. Over time, William learned to cure on his own, but not much more conjury than that.
=== ''Adolescent Years'' ===
: As William grew, he met his now best friends in Old Gridania. At the age of eleven, he was tasked to travel to the city to pick up some seeds and tools from the Botanist's Guild to replenish his family's farm. When the guildmaster unfortunately stated there were no such seeds available for pickup, there was an Elezen kid who was also purchasing seeds who had came before him. He had noticed the despair in William's face and gave him a portion of his seeds. He had introduced himself as Brandon. Days passed and they would meet up to hang out, and William was introduced to Brandon's friends: Tyler Ultimathule, an Elezen, and Aries Xela, a Miqo'te who was typically called Alex. The four of them would become inseparable over time.
: William had minimal previous magical encounters. He once came across an altercation between the Sharlayan Circle of Knowing and a dark robed Mage. Apparently there was a surge of aetheric energy coming from near the Ehcatl 9 tribe, the docile Ixali group. William, only twelve at the time, was out gathering some firewood when the Mage confronted him. Frightened, William was cornered into a cavern. He noticed the Mage preparing to cast some magical attack, but was cut short when a Miqote conjurer, Highlander pugilist, and a Lalafellan thaumaturge confronted him. The Mage directed his attacks to hit the pugilist as some magic deflected off her and hit William instead. The conjurer came to his aid and cured his wounds. She remained by his side as the thaumaturge managed to harm the Mage. The Mage soon dissipated away. The three heroes of the hour introduced themselves as Y'shtola, Yda, and Papalymo respectively. They mentioned to William to contact them whenever there is a similar issue in the future. They dedicated there life to protecting the innocent from the forces of darkness saving the realm from calamity. From that day forward, William decided to become an adventurer and aspired to become like them, for he could discern true heroism within them.
====The Calamity Strikes====
: With word of the "Meteor Project" coming to the light of the Eorzean Alliance, the grand companies and allied free companies took up arms to defend the Carteneau Flats from the Garlean menace. William's parents both took up arms to fight with the Twin Adders. At home, William was sitting outside his cottage with his brothers watching the slow descent of the false moon. Though he and Piers never truly saw eye to eye, this may be the only time when they are united. His friends had shown up to wait out the world’s immenent demise. William felt powerless. He wanted to do something about the inevitable calamity that would affect his quaint hamlet. He saw the enormous cracks forming upon Dalamud and something spoke to him inside his head.
:: “Save them later. Be…a…hero…”
: The voice felt as if someone was echoing right behind him, yet when he turned around to check, there was only a dissipating mist. He had asked to his friends around if they heard anything nearby, but they denied. William looked back up to the falling moon as it suddenly bursts as the Dreadwyrm breaks free. William and his friends stand up in shock as Bahamut ravages the land. The first thought to pop in William’s head was the Circle of Knowing that he had met a month prior. He had hoped they would save the realm from total annihilation. William noticed the people around him either crying or standing in complete shock. He notice one man pick up his young daughter and held her tight saying “Everything will be alright sometime soon.” He could see a hunk of the false moon fall near the southern border of the North Shroud. Suddenly a flash of white bright light covers the realm. Soon after, the Dreadwyrm disappears without a trace. Eorzea, a realm reborn out of a tragic calamity, needs a hero.

====A Family in Shambles====
: It has been five hours since the disappearance of Bahamut and William and his brothers are waiting anxiously for their parents to return. It was about the middle of the night when Roderick noticed a tired man carrying a woman in his arms. He trudged toward the cottage and as the light shined on his face, it was their father with tears flooding from his eyes. Roderick yelled for Piers and William to wake up. William came immediately outside and saw his father carrying his mother in his arms. William promptly yelled for his mother to wake up. With tears trailing from his eyes, he attempted to cast Cure on her, but to no avail. He attempted to execute a spell he has been learning, Raise. For a slight moment, he had heard the voice from before, but was indistinguishable. By the grace of the Twelve, his mother's eyes opened. She was awake, but not for long. She could speak, but she was very weak. Solmunder was speechless to witness such a temporary miracle. Athilda knew she would be passing soon, so she gave each a hug and a kiss. She told them all to be well and live happy whilst urging to remain together. Her last breath passed as she took hold on to William's hand before losing her grip on her mortal coil.
: Weeks passed after the passing of Athilda and Piers took excile from his Gridanian home to move to Limsa Lominsa for a new life. With two family members being gone from the home, only Solmunder, Roderick, and William remained. Solmunder tried to remain cheerful in the times of grief, yet he is always reminded of the dreadful day of the Calamity. Rod took notice of his father's decline in strength and mobility over time. He believed it to be caused by the grief and the PTSD from the moment Athilda's life started slipping. Rod thought to move the family to start over. Within two months, the family moved out of Hyrstmill and into the Lavender Beds. Once settled in, Rod taught William archery in the yard of their new home. Needless to say, William's skills advanced fairly over time.
: Years passed and Piers returned home from his travels in Vylbrand. In that time, Piers worked part time as a bow-for-hire and fell for a Miqo'te girl. Over time, they got a house, yet she would mooch gil off of Piers and eventually kicked Piers out of "their" house for an Auri girl. Defeated, he returned home. He had found the location of the new family home and noticed William practicing archery. Piers took pride in his skills of archery and believed he should be the best archer in the family, although he does not care whether Rod was good or not for some reason. As he came around the corner, he noticed William hit a bullseye thrice in a row. Piers' resent for William was reignited. For months they would have petty competitions too see who was the better archer.
: When William was about 15, he and Piers had one of their usual archery competitions. After each round, William was always closer to the center than Piers. At a moment when William was ready to shoot his next arrow at the target, Piers yelled out that he cheats each time. As he was ranting aloud, William shrugged it off until he could no longer. Piers then accused William that he was never really loved by his mother, such that it was all out of pity. William could not hold back much longer and as he released the arrow from the bow, he immediately turned to Piers to tell him off, yet the arrow was still in the bowstring. The arrow managed to hit the bullseye, but not on the target and instead in Piers' left eye. He fell to the ground screaming and writhing in pain. Piers yelled obscenities and slurs toward William. William considered taking out his wand to cure Piers, but he fled the yard instead. He returned about 75 minutes later to the house to see Piers passed out in the living room with the arrow still in the eye. William attempted to cure the eye. As he casted the spell, he slowly remove the arrow from Piers' eye. He noticed Piers' body relax some and soon woke up. Piers woke up wondering why he felt no pain rubbing his eyes. He opened his eyes and rubbed his left eye some more. He could see out his right but not in his left. Starting to panic, he ran to a mirror nearby , nearly tripping on a stool. He looked in the mirror to see his left eye foggy. Piers was blind in his left eye. Piers screamed out in horror and blamed William that he could never practice archery again. In the morning, Piers was gone and was not heard from again, officially.

=== ''Adulthood'' ===
====The Beginnings of an Adventurer====
: At the age of sixteen, after all the years following tragedy after tragedy, William finally prepared to set off for Gridania. On the day before he sets off for an adventurer's life, he prepared his bow, one made by his father. He had wondered whether or not fame would come for him quickly as his family name is of Chambers. He does not want to easily be significant as the "Son of Solmunder Chambers". He went to his father for advice upon the matter and contemplated whether going by another name should suffice. Solmunder sat him down next to him and took his old fedora off and plopped onto William's head. He told him how he should do what he feels is right and never look back. He agreed wholeheartedly with William considering to go by another name. He even told him a little story..
:: "Aye Will, ye listen close. Once upon eh time there was eh young Lominsan lad who lived amongst eh family of ruthless 'n coldhearted killehs 'n theives. 'E was forced to join th' crew iffen 'e wants some grub and eh night's rest. 'Pon the day of 'is eighteenth nameday, 'e mustered 'is courage t' leave 'is godsforsaken home, iffen it could be called eh home. 'E took to th' ports of Limsa Lominsa 'n 'e found eh small cargo ship to th' mainland 'o Aldenard. 'E arrived en Vesper Bay where 'e could 'ear some word of eh trip to th' Shroud. Now 'e was quite skilled en the disciplines of archery 'n spearin', so Gridania was quite th' place for harnessin' 'is skills. 'E took the first journey to th' Shroud and landed en th' Adventurer's Guild. They at th' time were-eh pryin' for th' lad's name. 'E could not take aftah 'is true name, for 'e could be eithah arrested by th' Serpents or found by 'is twisted family! 'Is 'eart was racin' so 'e scrubbed off o' 'is last name for 'is new name. Chambers. See lad, for 'e was I. When I was at 'bout ye' age for even I was at ye' place. I needed t' make eh name for me-self. 'N that I did, lad. I rose the to th' tops o' ranks of th' Wailers n' I even met ye motheh. She'd be quite proud of ye decision. Take 'tis hat wit' ye wherever ye go. 'Tis nice for th' formal nights 'n even was what ye motheh noticed first of me!"
: William had not known of his father's history before the Wailers before now. He took the fancy hat and packed it in his suitcase with his other clothes. He grabbed his old wand and placed it near his bow when his brother came to see him. He had been practicing archery everyday to prepare for this moment. Rod wished him luck for his journeys ahead and urged him to never give up when things seems hard.

: ■✖Athilda Chambers née Arrowe, (Mother)
:: [[File:Athilda_Chambers.jpg|right|250px|Athilda Chambers]]
::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "My mother is my true inspiration to why I remain healing. It's what she would have wanted.."</div>
:::: Athilda was born in the streets of Ul'Dah, not knowing her true family. She would be a thief in order to get a meal, occasionaly stealing from the marketplace. One day, the grocer took notice of her actions and let the game continue for a while until she confronted her. Athilda, being scared of being arrested, attempted to run, yet was caught immediately. The grocer caught her by the Weavers' Guild and inquired about her life. She told her that she had no home, no family, and no food. Without a second thought, the grocer took her in and raised her. The grocer's name was Petra Arrowe. As she grew older, Athilda, moved to the Shroud to make a name for herself. She thanked her foster mother for everything she's done for her and stayed in touch.
::::Before her marriage to William's father, she gave birth to Roderick, William's oldest brother, yet she was rather promiscuous during her twenties, so Roderick's biological father is unknown but assumed to be a Gods' Quiver archer. Having changed her ways, she found Solmunder eight years later and fell in love and married. They had their first son together Piers and then nine years later their second son William. Athilda lived her life as conjurer for the Twin Adders. Both she and Solmunder were fighting with the Grand Companies at Cartenau against the Garlean menace before the Calamity struck. Solmunder fought valiantly and took many Garlean lives with Athilda alongside him. As they were taking out the enemy, Athilda was caught blindsided and was slew by an Imperial Laquearius. Solmunder was filled with rage and pierced the Laquearius through its heart. Solmunder survived the battle and returned home to his children after the Calamity struck and informed them of the tragic news. William took it hardest of all. Only being twelve at the time of this calamity, he was really close to his mother and she would show him conjury tricks. Whenever William heals for his party, he always thinks of his mother guiding him through to victory..

: ■Solmunder Chambers, (Father)
:: [[File:Solmunder_Chambers.jpg|right|250px|Solmunder Chambers]]
::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "My father would never let any bad situation ruin his sense of humor!"</div>
:::: Solmunder Chambers came from a terrible household in Limsa Lominsa. He was born to a family of vile pirates known as the Chamberlain Crew. He was forced to partake in villainous crimes if he was to get a meal and bed each day. When he became eighteen years of age, he mustered the courage to hitch a ship to Aldenard without saying one word to his family. He arrived in Vesper Bay and changed his name to Chambers, for slight differentiation from his family. He trekked to the Shroud in hopes to learn either archery or lancing; upon his arrival to Gridania, he learned the latter. He became skilled quickly enough for one of the Wood Wailers to take notice and suggest him to be a private among them. For many years he was an esteemed Wood Wailer and caught the eye of a fan, Athilda. They met at the Carline Canopy when Solmunder was off duty and Athilda noticed him. She approached him commending him for his valor in protecting the Shroud and immediately hit it off. They would always make jokes with each other with Solmunder always cracking horrible puns, yet Athilda laughed anyways. Athilda's nickname for Solmunder was "Sully" and although he wasn't too fond of it, it did not bother him either way; His nickname for her was Thillie and she liked it. They worked together roaming the Shroud, vanquishing any threat to Gridania with Athilda supporting Sully as he fought head-on.

:::: After the passing of his wife, Solmunder tried to keep his joy alive by providing for their children. Sully was only in his early forties yet became weak at holding his lance for long. Roderick, who was proficient at archery, joined the Gods' Bow to provide coin for the family. Sully, being grateful for Rod's generosity, officially retired his lance and stayed at home to tend to the family crops. William loved his father dearly and would always assist him when Sully is unable to move around. William talked to his father about leaving to provide even more for his family. William even mentioned desiring to change his surname to became notable for his own deeds, not his father's. Solmunder was quite the opposite of being disappointed and gave William a big hug and told him he was proud of that decision and mentioned his own story of coming to Aldenard. To this day, William provides 45 percent of his earnings to his family and visits home every now and then. His father is his inspiration for whenever William cracks a silly pun and would think of him every time he does.
: ■♦Piers Chambers, (Brother)
:: [[File:Piers_Chambers.jpg|right|250px|Piers Chambers]]
::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "Piers and I never really saw eye to eye. He always tried to rival me in archery, even when his accuracy was low.."</div>
:::: Piers is the middle child in the Chambers' family and felt he was only treated as such. He felt so much praise until William was born, and from then on he tended to resent him. William tried to show his love for his brother, but was never noticed. So he simply gave up and did not care for him. When their mother was killed in battle, there was even more disgust between the brothers. Piers always thought their mother favored William over him and he was filled with anger. Soon after, Piers left for Limsa Lominsa to get away from the family for a while. He had hoped his excile will cure his anger. In the meantime, Roderick taught William archery and became a prodigy at it. A few years passed and Piers returned home having made minor success and lost it all when he fell for a Miqo'te courtesan. He thought she truly loved him so he gave her a home in the Mist for them to live together. However, she mooched off gil after gil until she had the deed of the house and kicked him out for an Auri girl. He had but no choice to return home.

:::: Upon his return to Hyrstmill, he had noticed that the family had moved out of the hamlet and into a house in the Lavender Beds. When he found where the family was living at, he noticed William practicing archery in the yard with a target. He noticed William hit a bullseye with each shot. Piers did not like how William was better at archery than he and this refueled his anger. For the years to follow, they would pointlessly compete at archery. During one of these competitions, Piers blew a gasket and accused William of cheating everytime. William, unable to keep his cool, was about to make a shot at the target and turned to tell off Piers, but the arrow was released. The arrow flew and pierced Piers in the eye. Piers, writhing in pain screamed out obscenities toward William. William, knowing the conjury spell Cure, could have healed Piers if done immediately, but ran in fear. He came back home that night attempting to cure Piers' pain. The pain was gone, but Piers could never see in his left eye again. To this day, Piers is somewhere in Ul'Dah with his exact whereabouts unknown. William would once in a while recieve death threats from an anonymous sender, yet he could always recognize Piers' penmanship.

=Prompts=
==F.A.Q.'s==
: ■ Does your character have siblings or family members in their age group? Which one are they closest with?
:: William’s two siblings have a big age gap from William, with Piers being 9 years older and Rod being 17 years older. William is not remotely close to Piers any way. They have had too much bad blood over the years. Rod however remains very close to William, as he first taught him archery as he became a novice. Any other relatives are unknown as his father came from a family of pirates and his mother grew up in the streets of Ul’Dah.
: ■ What is/was your character’s relationship with their mother like?
:: While she was still alive, she would always tell William stories of her adventures with his father each night as a child. William loved his mother dearly such that she is the true reason he kept healing. She taught him the basic heal Cure as a child. There were several instances where he became so flustered, he considered retiring his codex. Yet he remembered his mother would never give up in the heat of battle, so neither should he.
: ■ What is/was your character’s relationship with their father like?
:: His relationship to his father is quite as loving as his relationship to his mother! Before Rod was actually teaching William archery, it was his father who gave him his first bow and arrow set. Even thouch his father was adept lancing, he had knew archery as well. When he presented William his own set, at roughly nine years old, his father demonstrated archery to him by taking three arrows from a quiver, placing each in his bow, and accurately shot the bullseye! William’s face was filled with awe and his love for archery began. His father’s jokes also rubbed off onto William, which eventually became everyone else’s misfortune. Every cracked pun blossomed from the sole purpose to simply make everyone happy, as his father made him.
: ■ Has your character ever witnessed something that fundamentally changed them? If so, does anyone else know?
:: A year into William’s travels, having been months since he became a Warrior of Light, he was assisting the historical scholars of NOAH with emergence of the Crystal Tower. William was mainly a user of white magic and was hesitant to pick up a new skill at the time. He was tasked with preventing the realm becoming a World of Darkness. There was another healer in his group, one whose techniques differed from his own. He had not seen a healer perform abilities like these before. In duty, William took notice that their Warrior was taking too much damage at a point for William to replenish health quick enough. The Warrior got weak enough to the point where William was forced to grant him Benediction. The other healer managed to take over the main healing and was granting him aetheric shields to nullify incoming damage. William was astounded to see such a trick done in battle. After the duty was complete, he asked the other healer in the group where he learned such skills; he told him to find Alka Zolka and ask her the ways of the Nymian Scholar. Henceforth, he dedicated his following days studying the abilities of a Scholar in battle and became an adept Scholar under the great Nymian Scholar Surito Carito.
: ■ On an average day, what can be found in your character’s pockets?
:: Usually pocket lint.
: ■ What does your OC look for in a friend? Do they value friendship a lot?
:: What William finds for in a friend is someone who he is able to put his trust into, someone who he knows respects him as he to them, and someone who can put up with all of his dang shenanigans! Does he value friendship? Are chocobo couriers actually yellow chocobos splathered with tar? Yes! Friendship means everything to William and never wants to sever ties with someone he has grown see as a friend.
: ■ Is there a place they go to in order to escape the world, the stresses of life? What’s their favourite place?
:: Whenever William feels stressed from either a poor dungeon dive or surrounded by plenty of drama, he either resides within the study of his home to review over past tomes or journeys to Tailfeather to surround himself with the chocobos within their natural habitat. Either resolution renders William at peace.
: ■ What are concepts they value? Virtues? What do they look down upon?
:: William values the safety of his friends at all times within a duty. Whether he chooses to be the designated healer or a bard, he refuses to allow his party to fail, or even perish. He also values his friends above all else. As his virtues, William selects loyalty, as in to each other, and family, as in he places his family above everything else, whether it be his blood family or his friends who he looks to as a family. William looks down upon a betrayal of trust. He finds it very hard to mend broken ties, yet can turn the other cheek if necessary.
: ■Do they have a guilty conscience? Why? Did they ever do something they totally regretted?
:: William is as innocent as he’s going to get. He totally does not enact shenanigans in public as the Chocobo. What if he was the Chocobo? He would not regret it one bit. He finds it hilarious to be stared at when he conducts his weekly foray into Issom-Har in his chocobo suit. However the most shenanigans he would openly admit to would be shuffling up Sugis’ books. Yet he really needs to learn to conduct his prank while she isn’t home..
: ■ What are Tropes you associate with your muse?
:: ● Bookworm since he studies old tomes he’s collected from the Gubal Library during some of Sugis’ forays, yet while he does not have a collection of tomes to amount Sugis’, his collection sums to an estimate of sixty.
:: ● a literal Scholar, while that may be preferred healing job in duties, he tends to overly study past civilizations. He has recently taken an interest in the War of the Magi and regularly conducts expeditions to the Yafaem saltmoors for Mhach and the Wanderer’s Palace to communicate with the tonberries of Nym, if he manages to find a sane tonberry.
:: ● Chocobo.
: ■ If given a million dollars, what would your OC do?
:: “Dollars? Is that a currency? The only common currency used across Eorzea is gil, so I’ll assume the question will refer to gil.”
:: William upon given a million gil will immediately donate a quarter to his family for however his father seems fit, a quarter to his free company to fund their move from their current base of a cottage in the Lavender Beds into a mansion of appealing scenary, a quarter to the Adventurer’s Guild for showing how even a Warrior of Light can make his start with them, and the remaining quarter for himself for various luxuries for his private house (totally not decorating it fully in chocobo decor).
==Other O.C.'s Relationships==
===Sugis Kevade===
: ■"Rumor has it that William deals in shady blackmarket business what with multiplw people seeing him go into the Kevade Mansion so often...."
:: While that may appear so, his business at the mansion is strictly personal! He considers the “Void” officers friends! While Suvi is verbally annoyed by his jokes, William notices a smirk followed by disbelief upon his face. On occasion, he may give business advice, as he runs his free company. While he stays out of specific business details, he cares not for whatever “shady” business is conducted, yet refuses to get involved in actual dealings. Although on one instance, he proposed that Suvi hire William’s older brother to do some secretarial work.
: William's memories of Sugis
:: ⭐️ One memory of William remembers is the day they first met in a duty to clear the first hall of Dzemael Darkhold. William on occasion tells Sugis how he both regrets and is grateful for that encounter.
:: ⭐️ No matter what’s happening, whether it be a dangerous raid or utter nonsense, William and Sugis will not hesitate to be sarcastic and sassy to each other.
:: ⭐️ William will not step one foot inside Sugis’ house. He once did and he was frightened by the sheer number of books in her house. Her house would put the Gubal Library out of business.
:: ⭐️ How many puns does it take for William to get on Sugis’s nerves. A skele-ton. She’d punish him, but that in itself would be helping his situation.
: Sugis' memories of William
:: ⭐️ Despite a slight age gap, and the fact that Will is /technically an adult/ Sugis still treats him like a child when it comes to his safety.
:: ⭐️ Sugis quit drinking due to something that happened involving dungeon crawling, Will pressuring a drunken Ishgardian Dragoon to “Do It”, and multiple Gas Bombs.
:: ⭐️ She likes to tease him, lightheartedly, about girls and when he’s gonna start dating to fluster him.
:: ⭐️ If there was a gil for every time she shouted “You’re grounded” to Will… She’d probably be rich(er).
:: ⭐️ Sugis takes the more serious marks for hunts and mercenary related stuff because she doesn’t want to see Will get hurt.
===Riaa Alteir===
: Riaa's memories of William
:: ⭐️ Riaa thinks that William is quite silly, but she appreciates it. Most people are too serious so it’s a nice change. She especially likes the OH JEEZ
:: ⭐️ to the point now where Riaa gleefully joins in on the OH JEEZ as well. She isn’t too bothered if it’s bugging anybody, but she’s definately having fun with it, and figures if SHE’S having fun with it then William must also be having fun too and YAY FUN.
:: ⭐️ She likes his hat. Not any specific one, just all of them. (Riaa really likes the chocobo head though, she thinks it’s hilarious.)
:: ⭐️ (Weed-Lizard) After the pixie stix incident, Mariko is worried about the purity of her candy, and as such double-triple checks that it’s not got anything else in. She’s also a bit worried that William managed to get tweaked out like that. On candy. How even…?
===Darius Kinkaid===
: Darius' memories of William
:: ⭐️ Darius knows about William through his subordinate, Ringabel [Sugis]. He’s heard nothing but good things, but is convinced William lives in a constant state of thinking everyone is going to die in an instant.
:: ⭐️ Darius also believes William was a chocobo in a past life.
:: ⭐️ When they first met, them two didn’t speak much outside of momentary jokes and the like, but they both soon found out they both read stories about a fictional group of heroes. The first book in question? “Red Helm and the Vandals.” There are other books, but William is convinced Darius idolizes this “Red Helm” character. He’s not absolutely wrong.
:: ⭐️ Since finding out about his sister, Darius has attended every small party William and his Free Company has thrown. The scholar in question is the only person who knows Darius disguises himself as an entertainer in a Vanu Vanu outfit.
:: ⭐️ William is constantly forgetting who Darius is, claiming he had seen him before in outlandish roles and places. It is unknown if William just does this to try and get inside Darius’s head or if it’s honestly forgetfulness.
:: ⭐️ Darius and William finally became friends when a mishap occurred while questing. They both had said “Oh Jeez” at the same time, rendering odd looks from both parties.

:'''Logan Holden''', began life simply, living in Moraby Bay, with his father who was a fisherman, his mother who was a Yellowjacket, and his twin sister who looked very little like him. When he was nineteen years old, a voice called him away to adventure, to face a rising threat. Although originally unwilling to leave his happy and peaceful life behind, his sister urged him onwards, and together the pair became adventurers. Logan quickly adopted to the simple style of combat employed by Gladiators, and found security behind the heavy armour and shields they bore, relying on them more than agility to protect both himself and those around him. His eagerness to assist led to being noticed by the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, and he eagerly became a member.



==Free Company: Awoken Wanderers==

==Logan's Typical Inventory==
'''Last updated:''' N/A
: - Items

=Appearance=
[[File:Logan holden causal.png|right|350px]]
'''Height:''' 5 fulms 11 ilms

'''Weight:''' 186 ponz

'''Complexion: ''' Fair.

'''Hair: ''' Dark brown.

'''Eyes: ''' Dark brown.

: Logan's just above average height, with wide shoulders, and lots of muscle from hefting around his armour and shield, as well as putting them to use quite often. You'd be hard pressed to see them, aside from those on his arms, but Logan's covered in many small scrapes and scars from his many battles, though nothing that hasn't been able to be healed up for the most part. His hair is thick and soft, his eyes watchful, and his face looking like he's either very focused or a little upset, unless he's actively trying to look happy.

=Behavior=
=== '''''Behavior''''' ===
: Logan does his best to always be respectful of others upon meeting them, and generally stays quiet and lets them talk, until he's required to speak. When he is, he tends to answer in the shortest form possible, and often stammers through words until he can get a feel of the person and the conversation.
: When with people he trusts and feels comfortable with, he's far more open and enjoys telling jokes, stories, and listening to others. Even still, you'll often find him on his own, or to one side, as being around a lot of people can make him uncomfortable after long periods of time. He enjoys his quieter time to himself quite a bit.
: Logan is incredibly hard to make angry, though he may feign annoyance and frustration to give what he assumes is the desired reaction from a joke. He always makes sure you know when he's serious, and he hopes he'll get your attention as much as he'd give you his.
: The only time you'll see Logan honestly upset or angry is towards those who don't understand how to take care of others, or those who have betrayed or hurt people. He has little tolerance for the evils of the world, and holds fast to the phrase "do unto others as you would have them do unto you".
: If possible, Logan will prevent the death of any intelligent being, from the Elezen of Isghard to the Kobolds of La Noscea, putting his shield and sword pommel to good use. He does, however, accept that Eorzea is embroiled in violent conflicts, and that peaceful solutions are not always possible, and is willing to kill if necessary.

=== '''''Fears''''' ===
: ■ Ever since the Calamity, Logan's been scared of dragons. After being introduced to the more peaceful side of dragons in Dravania, his fear has lessened, but they can still make him heavily uneasy.
: ■ Being in a leadership position among his friends and even Eorzea, he's terrified of failure and letting down those who hold him to such a high standard.

===Preferences===
: Logan's ideal is someone who's willing to trust him, and open themselves to the same trust. Someone who's willing to work with him to create a solid relationship, knowing they'll have problems, but ready to work through them. He expects to have children and looks forward to raising a family.
: That said, he ended up infatuated with the mysterious Miqo'te, Aiko Slanda, who appeared early in his journey away from home. While she doesn't seem to fit his ideals at all, he nonetheless fell for her, knowing that as much as she needed the stability he was sure he could provide, but that she might hold a key to pushing him forward as a person, and to experience life to its fullest.

An optional blurb about how your character looks and behaves during combat.

=== '''''Weapons''''' ===
William is currently learning the ways of nearly all disciplines and to their advanced job. If he had the choice, he would remain healing, and would rather stay away from the battle's front. Overtime, William learned to embrace the inevitable moment of conflict and thus began apprenticing the many disciplines. Some disciplines interest William enough to even put forth more time into mastering the techniques. The weapons William uses in conflict are as follows:[[File:wf_270_scholar_relic_anabis.jpg|right|500px]]

Backstory on Magical Abilities

: ■Regenerative magic.
: ■Shielding magic.
: ■Embrace by the Echo
: ■Aetheric channeling

=== '''''Crafting''''' ===
As he was still making a name for himself before becoming a Warrior of Light, he would partake in the work of alchemy. He has always enjoyed the act of making elixers to assist his allies with enhancing their abilities or replenishing their vigor. As of late, William has temporarily retired the craft of alchemy simply to put other needs forward. In order for him to advance his skills of alchemy, he must learn the ways of other crafts to further his own skills. He is currently working on learning the ways of the goldsmithing, leatherworking, and smithing in order to learn the technique to self-repair his gear that is composed of such craft.

=== '''''Talents''''' ===
: ■Summoning of each egi and faerie together at a time, yet not in combat.
: ■Taught his gaelikitten to retrieve objects on command.
: ■Proficient in archery to be able to shoot three arrows at once at a target.

=Background=
: “My name is William Fedorason.
: For years I have faced a major calamity with only one goal:
: To save my realm. Now others have joined with me in my company.
: To them, I am William, but to the rest of Eorzea,
: I am the Warrior of Light.”

:: -From a letter to Ser Aymeric de Borel in regards to assisting in the Dragonsong War.
=== ''Birth and childhood (0-10)'' ===
: Born William Chambers in the year 1560 of the Sixth Astral Era, he was raised within the hamlet of Hyrstmill of the northern Shroud. His parents are Solmunder Chambers, a well decorated Wood Wailer, and Athilda Chambers, a skilled conjurer for the Twin Adders. He has two older brothers, Piers Chambers, who's a moderate archer and only 9 years older, and Roderick Arrowe, his half-brother who's was a skilled archer among the Gods' Bow and now a secretary for the free company of <<VOID>>. At young age, archery interested him a great deal. His father would craft him his own bow and dulled arrows to play with. Though he was no good, he still enjoyed it no matter what. Whenever William would injure himself when he plays outside, his mother always use her skills of conjury to cure his wounds. Over time, William learned to cure on his own, but not much more conjury than that.
=== ''Adolescent Years'' ===
: As William grew, he met his now best friends in Old Gridania. At the age of eleven, he was tasked to travel to the city to pick up some seeds and tools from the Botanist's Guild to replenish his family's farm. When the guildmaster unfortunately stated there were no such seeds available for pickup, there was an Elezen kid who was also purchasing seeds who had came before him. He had noticed the despair in William's face and gave him a portion of his seeds. He had introduced himself as Brandon. Days passed and they would meet up to hang out, and William was introduced to Brandon's friends: Tyler Ultimathule, an Elezen, and Aries Xela, a Miqo'te who was typically called Alex. The four of them would become inseparable over time.
: William had minimal previous magical encounters. He once came across an altercation between the Sharlayan Circle of Knowing and a dark robed Mage. Apparently there was a surge of aetheric energy coming from near the Ehcatl 9 tribe, the docile Ixali group. William, only twelve at the time, was out gathering some firewood when the Mage confronted him. Frightened, William was cornered into a cavern. He noticed the Mage preparing to cast some magical attack, but was cut short when a Miqote conjurer, Highlander pugilist, and a Lalafellan thaumaturge confronted him. The Mage directed his attacks to hit the pugilist as some magic deflected off her and hit William instead. The conjurer came to his aid and cured his wounds. She remained by his side as the thaumaturge managed to harm the Mage. The Mage soon dissipated away. The three heroes of the hour introduced themselves as Y'shtola, Yda, and Papalymo respectively. They mentioned to William to contact them whenever there is a similar issue in the future. They dedicated there life to protecting the innocent from the forces of darkness saving the realm from calamity. From that day forward, William decided to become an adventurer and aspired to become like them, for he could discern true heroism within them.
====The Calamity Strikes====
: With word of the "Meteor Project" coming to the light of the Eorzean Alliance, the grand companies and allied free companies took up arms to defend the Carteneau Flats from the Garlean menace. William's parents both took up arms to fight with the Twin Adders. At home, William was sitting outside his cottage with his brothers watching the slow descent of the false moon. Though he and Piers never truly saw eye to eye, this may be the only time when they are united. His friends had shown up to wait out the world’s immenent demise. William felt powerless. He wanted to do something about the inevitable calamity that would affect his quaint hamlet. He saw the enormous cracks forming upon Dalamud and something spoke to him inside his head.
:: “Save them later. Be…a…hero…”
: The voice felt as if someone was echoing right behind him, yet when he turned around to check, there was only a dissipating mist. He had asked to his friends around if they heard anything nearby, but they denied. William looked back up to the falling moon as it suddenly bursts as the Dreadwyrm breaks free. William and his friends stand up in shock as Bahamut ravages the land. The first thought to pop in William’s head was the Circle of Knowing that he had met a month prior. He had hoped they would save the realm from total annihilation. William noticed the people around him either crying or standing in complete shock. He notice one man pick up his young daughter and held her tight saying “Everything will be alright sometime soon.” He could see a hunk of the false moon fall near the southern border of the North Shroud. Suddenly a flash of white bright light covers the realm. Soon after, the Dreadwyrm disappears without a trace. Eorzea, a realm reborn out of a tragic calamity, needs a hero.

====A Family in Shambles====
: It has been five hours since the disappearance of Bahamut and William and his brothers are waiting anxiously for their parents to return. It was about the middle of the night when Roderick noticed a tired man carrying a woman in his arms. He trudged toward the cottage and as the light shined on his face, it was their father with tears flooding from his eyes. Roderick yelled for Piers and William to wake up. William came immediately outside and saw his father carrying his mother in his arms. William promptly yelled for his mother to wake up. With tears trailing from his eyes, he attempted to cast Cure on her, but to no avail. He attempted to execute a spell he has been learning, Raise. For a slight moment, he had heard the voice from before, but was indistinguishable. By the grace of the Twelve, his mother's eyes opened. She was awake, but not for long. She could speak, but she was very weak. Solmunder was speechless to witness such a temporary miracle. Athilda knew she would be passing soon, so she gave each a hug and a kiss. She told them all to be well and live happy whilst urging to remain together. Her last breath passed as she took hold on to William's hand before losing her grip on her mortal coil.
: Weeks passed after the passing of Athilda and Piers took excile from his Gridanian home to move to Limsa Lominsa for a new life. With two family members being gone from the home, only Solmunder, Roderick, and William remained. Solmunder tried to remain cheerful in the times of grief, yet he is always reminded of the dreadful day of the Calamity. Rod took notice of his father's decline in strength and mobility over time. He believed it to be caused by the grief and the PTSD from the moment Athilda's life started slipping. Rod thought to move the family to start over. Within two months, the family moved out of Hyrstmill and into the Lavender Beds. Once settled in, Rod taught William archery in the yard of their new home. Needless to say, William's skills advanced fairly over time.
: Years passed and Piers returned home from his travels in Vylbrand. In that time, Piers worked part time as a bow-for-hire and fell for a Miqo'te girl. Over time, they got a house, yet she would mooch gil off of Piers and eventually kicked Piers out of "their" house for an Auri girl. Defeated, he returned home. He had found the location of the new family home and noticed William practicing archery. Piers took pride in his skills of archery and believed he should be the best archer in the family, although he does not care whether Rod was good or not for some reason. As he came around the corner, he noticed William hit a bullseye thrice in a row. Piers' resent for William was reignited. For months they would have petty competitions too see who was the better archer.
: When William was about 15, he and Piers had one of their usual archery competitions. After each round, William was always closer to the center than Piers. At a moment when William was ready to shoot his next arrow at the target, Piers yelled out that he cheats each time. As he was ranting aloud, William shrugged it off until he could no longer. Piers then accused William that he was never really loved by his mother, such that it was all out of pity. William could not hold back much longer and as he released the arrow from the bow, he immediately turned to Piers to tell him off, yet the arrow was still in the bowstring. The arrow managed to hit the bullseye, but not on the target and instead in Piers' left eye. He fell to the ground screaming and writhing in pain. Piers yelled obscenities and slurs toward William. William considered taking out his wand to cure Piers, but he fled the yard instead. He returned about 75 minutes later to the house to see Piers passed out in the living room with the arrow still in the eye. William attempted to cure the eye. As he casted the spell, he slowly remove the arrow from Piers' eye. He noticed Piers' body relax some and soon woke up. Piers woke up wondering why he felt no pain rubbing his eyes. He opened his eyes and rubbed his left eye some more. He could see out his right but not in his left. Starting to panic, he ran to a mirror nearby , nearly tripping on a stool. He looked in the mirror to see his left eye foggy. Piers was blind in his left eye. Piers screamed out in horror and blamed William that he could never practice archery again. In the morning, Piers was gone and was not heard from again, officially.

=== ''Adulthood'' ===
====The Beginnings of an Adventurer====
: At the age of sixteen, after all the years following tragedy after tragedy, William finally prepared to set off for Gridania. On the day before he sets off for an adventurer's life, he prepared his bow, one made by his father. He had wondered whether or not fame would come for him quickly as his family name is of Chambers. He does not want to easily be significant as the "Son of Solmunder Chambers". He went to his father for advice upon the matter and contemplated whether going by another name should suffice. Solmunder sat him down next to him and took his old fedora off and plopped onto William's head. He told him how he should do what he feels is right and never look back. He agreed wholeheartedly with William considering to go by another name. He even told him a little story..
:: "Aye Will, ye listen close. Once upon eh time there was eh young Lominsan lad who lived amongst eh family of ruthless 'n coldhearted killehs 'n theives. 'E was forced to join th' crew iffen 'e wants some grub and eh night's rest. 'Pon the day of 'is eighteenth nameday, 'e mustered 'is courage t' leave 'is godsforsaken home, iffen it could be called eh home. 'E took to th' ports of Limsa Lominsa 'n 'e found eh small cargo ship to th' mainland 'o Aldenard. 'E arrived en Vesper Bay where 'e could 'ear some word of eh trip to th' Shroud. Now 'e was quite skilled en the disciplines of archery 'n spearin', so Gridania was quite th' place for harnessin' 'is skills. 'E took the first journey to th' Shroud and landed en th' Adventurer's Guild. They at th' time were-eh pryin' for th' lad's name. 'E could not take aftah 'is true name, for 'e could be eithah arrested by th' Serpents or found by 'is twisted family! 'Is 'eart was racin' so 'e scrubbed off o' 'is last name for 'is new name. Chambers. See lad, for 'e was I. When I was at 'bout ye' age for even I was at ye' place. I needed t' make eh name for me-self. 'N that I did, lad. I rose the to th' tops o' ranks of th' Wailers n' I even met ye motheh. She'd be quite proud of ye decision. Take 'tis hat wit' ye wherever ye go. 'Tis nice for th' formal nights 'n even was what ye motheh noticed first of me!"
: William had not known of his father's history before the Wailers before now. He took the fancy hat and packed it in his suitcase with his other clothes. He grabbed his old wand and placed it near his bow when his brother came to see him. He had been practicing archery everyday to prepare for this moment. Rod wished him luck for his journeys ahead and urged him to never give up when things seems hard.

===Family===

: ■✖Athilda Chambers née Arrowe, (Mother)
:: [[File:Athilda_Chambers.jpg|right|250px|Athilda Chambers]]
::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "My mother is my true inspiration to why I remain healing. It's what she would have wanted.."</div>
:::: Athilda was born in the streets of Ul'Dah, not knowing her true family. She would be a thief in order to get a meal, occasionaly stealing from the marketplace. One day, the grocer took notice of her actions and let the game continue for a while until she confronted her. Athilda, being scared of being arrested, attempted to run, yet was caught immediately. The grocer caught her by the Weavers' Guild and inquired about her life. She told her that she had no home, no family, and no food. Without a second thought, the grocer took her in and raised her. The grocer's name was Petra Arrowe. As she grew older, Athilda, moved to the Shroud to make a name for herself. She thanked her foster mother for everything she's done for her and stayed in touch.
::::Before her marriage to William's father, she gave birth to Roderick, William's oldest brother, yet she was rather promiscuous during her twenties, so Roderick's biological father is unknown but assumed to be a Gods' Quiver archer. Having changed her ways, she found Solmunder eight years later and fell in love and married. They had their first son together Piers and then nine years later their second son William. Athilda lived her life as conjurer for the Twin Adders. Both she and Solmunder were fighting with the Grand Companies at Cartenau against the Garlean menace before the Calamity struck. Solmunder fought valiantly and took many Garlean lives with Athilda alongside him. As they were taking out the enemy, Athilda was caught blindsided and was slew by an Imperial Laquearius. Solmunder was filled with rage and pierced the Laquearius through its heart. Solmunder survived the battle and returned home to his children after the Calamity struck and informed them of the tragic news. William took it hardest of all. Only being twelve at the time of this calamity, he was really close to his mother and she would show him conjury tricks. Whenever William heals for his party, he always thinks of his mother guiding him through to victory..

: ■Solmunder Chambers, (Father)
:: [[File:Solmunder_Chambers.jpg|right|250px|Solmunder Chambers]]
::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "My father would never let any bad situation ruin his sense of humor!"</div>
:::: Solmunder Chambers came from a terrible household in Limsa Lominsa. He was born to a family of vile pirates known as the Chamberlain Crew. He was forced to partake in villainous crimes if he was to get a meal and bed each day. When he became eighteen years of age, he mustered the courage to hitch a ship to Aldenard without saying one word to his family. He arrived in Vesper Bay and changed his name to Chambers, for slight differentiation from his family. He trekked to the Shroud in hopes to learn either archery or lancing; upon his arrival to Gridania, he learned the latter. He became skilled quickly enough for one of the Wood Wailers to take notice and suggest him to be a private among them. For many years he was an esteemed Wood Wailer and caught the eye of a fan, Athilda. They met at the Carline Canopy when Solmunder was off duty and Athilda noticed him. She approached him commending him for his valor in protecting the Shroud and immediately hit it off. They would always make jokes with each other with Solmunder always cracking horrible puns, yet Athilda laughed anyways. Athilda's nickname for Solmunder was "Sully" and although he wasn't too fond of it, it did not bother him either way; His nickname for her was Thillie and she liked it. They worked together roaming the Shroud, vanquishing any threat to Gridania with Athilda supporting Sully as he fought head-on.

:::: After the passing of his wife, Solmunder tried to keep his joy alive by providing for their children. Sully was only in his early forties yet became weak at holding his lance for long. Roderick, who was proficient at archery, joined the Gods' Bow to provide coin for the family. Sully, being grateful for Rod's generosity, officially retired his lance and stayed at home to tend to the family crops. William loved his father dearly and would always assist him when Sully is unable to move around. William talked to his father about leaving to provide even more for his family. William even mentioned desiring to change his surname to became notable for his own deeds, not his father's. Solmunder was quite the opposite of being disappointed and gave William a big hug and told him he was proud of that decision and mentioned his own story of coming to Aldenard. To this day, William provides 45 percent of his earnings to his family and visits home every now and then. His father is his inspiration for whenever William cracks a silly pun and would think of him every time he does.
: ■♦Piers Chambers, (Brother)
:: [[File:Piers_Chambers.jpg|right|250px|Piers Chambers]]
::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "Piers and I never really saw eye to eye. He always tried to rival me in archery, even when his accuracy was low.."</div>
:::: Piers is the middle child in the Chambers' family and felt he was only treated as such. He felt so much praise until William was born, and from then on he tended to resent him. William tried to show his love for his brother, but was never noticed. So he simply gave up and did not care for him. When their mother was killed in battle, there was even more disgust between the brothers. Piers always thought their mother favored William over him and he was filled with anger. Soon after, Piers left for Limsa Lominsa to get away from the family for a while. He had hoped his excile will cure his anger. In the meantime, Roderick taught William archery and became a prodigy at it. A few years passed and Piers returned home having made minor success and lost it all when he fell for a Miqo'te courtesan. He thought she truly loved him so he gave her a home in the Mist for them to live together. However, she mooched off gil after gil until she had the deed of the house and kicked him out for an Auri girl. He had but no choice to return home.

:::: Upon his return to Hyrstmill, he had noticed that the family had moved out of the hamlet and into a house in the Lavender Beds. When he found where the family was living at, he noticed William practicing archery in the yard with a target. He noticed William hit a bullseye with each shot. Piers did not like how William was better at archery than he and this refueled his anger. For the years to follow, they would pointlessly compete at archery. During one of these competitions, Piers blew a gasket and accused William of cheating everytime. William, unable to keep his cool, was about to make a shot at the target and turned to tell off Piers, but the arrow was released. The arrow flew and pierced Piers in the eye. Piers, writhing in pain screamed out obscenities toward William. William, knowing the conjury spell Cure, could have healed Piers if done immediately, but ran in fear. He came back home that night attempting to cure Piers' pain. The pain was gone, but Piers could never see in his left eye again. To this day, Piers is somewhere in Ul'Dah with his exact whereabouts unknown. William would once in a while recieve death threats from an anonymous sender, yet he could always recognize Piers' penmanship.
: ■Roderick Arrowe, (Half-Brother)
:: [[File:Roderick_Arrowe.jpg|right|250px|Roderick Arrowe]]
::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "Rod has always been a wonderful teacher in archery! We both show each other new tricks from time to time!"</div>
:::: Rod grew up never knowing who his real father was, as his mother was promiscuous when he was conceived.

==F.A.Q.'s==
: ■ Does your character have siblings or family members in their age group? Which one are they closest with?
:: William’s two siblings have a big age gap from William, with Piers being 9 years older and Rod being 17 years older. William is not remotely close to Piers any way. They have had too much bad blood over the years. Rod however remains very close to William, as he first taught him archery as he became a novice. Any other relatives are unknown as his father came from a family of pirates and his mother grew up in the streets of Ul’Dah.
: ■ What is/was your character’s relationship with their mother like?
:: While she was still alive, she would always tell William stories of her adventures with his father each night as a child. William loved his mother dearly such that she is the true reason he kept healing. She taught him the basic heal Cure as a child. There were several instances where he became so flustered, he considered retiring his codex. Yet he remembered his mother would never give up in the heat of battle, so neither should he.
: ■ What is/was your character’s relationship with their father like?
:: His relationship to his father is quite as loving as his relationship to his mother! Before Rod was actually teaching William archery, it was his father who gave him his first bow and arrow set. Even thouch his father was adept lancing, he had knew archery as well. When he presented William his own set, at roughly nine years old, his father demonstrated archery to him by taking three arrows from a quiver, placing each in his bow, and accurately shot the bullseye! William’s face was filled with awe and his love for archery began. His father’s jokes also rubbed off onto William, which eventually became everyone else’s misfortune. Every cracked pun blossomed from the sole purpose to simply make everyone happy, as his father made him.
: ■ Has your character ever witnessed something that fundamentally changed them? If so, does anyone else know?
:: A year into William’s travels, having been months since he became a Warrior of Light, he was assisting the historical scholars of NOAH with emergence of the Crystal Tower. William was mainly a user of white magic and was hesitant to pick up a new skill at the time. He was tasked with preventing the realm becoming a World of Darkness. There was another healer in his group, one whose techniques differed from his own. He had not seen a healer perform abilities like these before. In duty, William took notice that their Warrior was taking too much damage at a point for William to replenish health quick enough. The Warrior got weak enough to the point where William was forced to grant him Benediction. The other healer managed to take over the main healing and was granting him aetheric shields to nullify incoming damage. William was astounded to see such a trick done in battle. After the duty was complete, he asked the other healer in the group where he learned such skills; he told him to find Alka Zolka and ask her the ways of the Nymian Scholar. Henceforth, he dedicated his following days studying the abilities of a Scholar in battle and became an adept Scholar under the great Nymian Scholar Surito Carito.
: ■ On an average day, what can be found in your character’s pockets?
:: Usually pocket lint.
: ■ What does your OC look for in a friend? Do they value friendship a lot?
:: What William finds for in a friend is someone who he is able to put his trust into, someone who he knows respects him as he to them, and someone who can put up with all of his dang shenanigans! Does he value friendship? Are chocobo couriers actually yellow chocobos splathered with tar? Yes! Friendship means everything to William and never wants to sever ties with someone he has grown see as a friend.
: ■ Is there a place they go to in order to escape the world, the stresses of life? What’s their favourite place?
:: Whenever William feels stressed from either a poor dungeon dive or surrounded by plenty of drama, he either resides within the study of his home to review over past tomes or journeys to Tailfeather to surround himself with the chocobos within their natural habitat. Either resolution renders William at peace.
: ■ What are concepts they value? Virtues? What do they look down upon?
:: William values the safety of his friends at all times within a duty. Whether he chooses to be the designated healer or a bard, he refuses to allow his party to fail, or even perish. He also values his friends above all else. As his virtues, William selects loyalty, as in to each other, and family, as in he places his family above everything else, whether it be his blood family or his friends who he looks to as a family. William looks down upon a betrayal of trust. He finds it very hard to mend broken ties, yet can turn the other cheek if necessary.
: ■Do they have a guilty conscience? Why? Did they ever do something they totally regretted?
:: William is as innocent as he’s going to get. He totally does not enact shenanigans in public as the Chocobo. What if he was the Chocobo? He would not regret it one bit. He finds it hilarious to be stared at when he conducts his weekly foray into Issom-Har in his chocobo suit. However the most shenanigans he would openly admit to would be shuffling up Sugis’ books. Yet he really needs to learn to conduct his prank while she isn’t home..
: ■ What are Tropes you associate with your muse?
:: ● Bookworm since he studies old tomes he’s collected from the Gubal Library during some of Sugis’ forays, yet while he does not have a collection of tomes to amount Sugis’, his collection sums to an estimate of sixty.
:: ● a literal Scholar, while that may be preferred healing job in duties, he tends to overly study past civilizations. He has recently taken an interest in the War of the Magi and regularly conducts expeditions to the Yafaem saltmoors for Mhach and the Wanderer’s Palace to communicate with the tonberries of Nym, if he manages to find a sane tonberry.
:: ● Chocobo.
: ■ If given a million dollars, what would your OC do?
:: “Dollars? Is that a currency? The only common currency used across Eorzea is gil, so I’ll assume the question will refer to gil.”
:: William upon given a million gil will immediately donate a quarter to his family for however his father seems fit, a quarter to his free company to fund their move from their current base of a cottage in the Lavender Beds into a mansion of appealing scenary, a quarter to the Adventurer’s Guild for showing how even a Warrior of Light can make his start with them, and the remaining quarter for himself for various luxuries for his private house (totally not decorating it fully in chocobo decor).
==Other O.C.'s Relationships==
===Sugis Kevade===
: ■"Rumor has it that William deals in shady blackmarket business what with multiplw people seeing him go into the Kevade Mansion so often...."
:: While that may appear so, his business at the mansion is strictly personal! He considers the “Void” officers friends! While Suvi is verbally annoyed by his jokes, William notices a smirk followed by disbelief upon his face. On occasion, he may give business advice, as he runs his free company. While he stays out of specific business details, he cares not for whatever “shady” business is conducted, yet refuses to get involved in actual dealings. Although on one instance, he proposed that Suvi hire William’s older brother to do some secretarial work.
: William's memories of Sugis
:: ⭐️ One memory of William remembers is the day they first met in a duty to clear the first hall of Dzemael Darkhold. William on occasion tells Sugis how he both regrets and is grateful for that encounter.
:: ⭐️ No matter what’s happening, whether it be a dangerous raid or utter nonsense, William and Sugis will not hesitate to be sarcastic and sassy to each other.
:: ⭐️ William will not step one foot inside Sugis’ house. He once did and he was frightened by the sheer number of books in her house. Her house would put the Gubal Library out of business.
:: ⭐️ How many puns does it take for William to get on Sugis’s nerves. A skele-ton. She’d punish him, but that in itself would be helping his situation.
: Sugis' memories of William
:: ⭐️ Despite a slight age gap, and the fact that Will is /technically an adult/ Sugis still treats him like a child when it comes to his safety.
:: ⭐️ Sugis quit drinking due to something that happened involving dungeon crawling, Will pressuring a drunken Ishgardian Dragoon to “Do It”, and multiple Gas Bombs.
:: ⭐️ She likes to tease him, lightheartedly, about girls and when he’s gonna start dating to fluster him.
:: ⭐️ If there was a gil for every time she shouted “You’re grounded” to Will… She’d probably be rich(er).
:: ⭐️ Sugis takes the more serious marks for hunts and mercenary related stuff because she doesn’t want to see Will get hurt.
===Riaa Alteir===
: Riaa's memories of William
:: ⭐️ Riaa thinks that William is quite silly, but she appreciates it. Most people are too serious so it’s a nice change. She especially likes the OH JEEZ
:: ⭐️ to the point now where Riaa gleefully joins in on the OH JEEZ as well. She isn’t too bothered if it’s bugging anybody, but she’s definately having fun with it, and figures if SHE’S having fun with it then William must also be having fun too and YAY FUN.
:: ⭐️ She likes his hat. Not any specific one, just all of them. (Riaa really likes the chocobo head though, she thinks it’s hilarious.)
:: ⭐️ (Weed-Lizard) After the pixie stix incident, Mariko is worried about the purity of her candy, and as such double-triple checks that it’s not got anything else in. She’s also a bit worried that William managed to get tweaked out like that. On candy. How even…?
===Darius Kinkaid===
: Darius' memories of William
:: ⭐️ Darius knows about William through his subordinate, Ringabel [Sugis]. He’s heard nothing but good things, but is convinced William lives in a constant state of thinking everyone is going to die in an instant.
:: ⭐️ Darius also believes William was a chocobo in a past life.
:: ⭐️ When they first met, them two didn’t speak much outside of momentary jokes and the like, but they both soon found out they both read stories about a fictional group of heroes. The first book in question? “Red Helm and the Vandals.” There are other books, but William is convinced Darius idolizes this “Red Helm” character. He’s not absolutely wrong.
:: ⭐️ Since finding out about his sister, Darius has attended every small party William and his Free Company has thrown. The scholar in question is the only person who knows Darius disguises himself as an entertainer in a Vanu Vanu outfit.
:: ⭐️ William is constantly forgetting who Darius is, claiming he had seen him before in outlandish roles and places. It is unknown if William just does this to try and get inside Darius’s head or if it’s honestly forgetfulness.
:: ⭐️ Darius and William finally became friends when a mishap occurred while questing. They both had said “Oh Jeez” at the same time, rendering odd looks from both parties.

:'''Logan Holden''', began life simply, living in Moraby Bay, with his father who was a fisherman, his mother who was a Yellowjacket, and his twin sister who looked very little like him. When he was nineteen years old, a voice called him away to adventure, to face a rising threat. Although originally unwilling to leave his happy and peaceful life behind, his sister urged him onwards, and together the pair became adventurers. Logan quickly adopted to the simple style of combat employed by Gladiators, and found security behind the heavy armour and shields they bore, relying on them more than agility to protect both himself and those around him. His eagerness to assist led to being noticed by the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, and he eagerly became a member.

==Logan's Typical Inventory==
'''Last updated:''' N/A
: - Items

=Appearance=
[[File:Logan holden causal.png|right|350px]]
'''Height:''' 5 fulms 11 ilms

'''Weight:''' 186 ponz

'''Complexion: ''' Fair.

'''Hair: ''' Dark brown.

'''Eyes: ''' Dark brown.

: Logan's just above average height, with wide shoulders, and lots of muscle from hefting around his armour and shield, as well as putting them to use quite often. You'd be hard pressed to see them, aside from those on his arms, but Logan's covered in many small scrapes and scars from his many battles, though nothing that hasn't been able to be healed up for the most part. His hair is thick and soft, his eyes watchful, and his face looking like he's either very focused or a little upset, unless he's actively trying to look happy.

=Behavior=
=== '''''Behavior''''' ===
: Logan does his best to always be respectful of others upon meeting them, and generally stays quiet and lets them talk, until he's required to speak. When he is, he tends to answer in the shortest form possible, and often stammers through words until he can get a feel of the person and the conversation.
: When with people he trusts and feels comfortable with, he's far more open and enjoys telling jokes, stories, and listening to others. Even still, you'll often find him on his own, or to one side, as being around a lot of people can make him uncomfortable after long periods of time. He enjoys his quieter time to himself quite a bit.
: Logan is incredibly hard to make angry, though he may feign annoyance and frustration to give what he assumes is the desired reaction from a joke. He always makes sure you know when he's serious, and he hopes he'll get your attention as much as he'd give you his.
: The only time you'll see Logan honestly upset or angry is towards those who don't understand how to take care of others, or those who have betrayed or hurt people. He has little tolerance for the evils of the world, and holds fast to the phrase "do unto others as you would have them do unto you".
: If possible, Logan will prevent the death of any intelligent being, from the Elezen of Isghard to the Kobolds of La Noscea, putting his shield and sword pommel to good use. He does, however, accept that Eorzea is embroiled in violent conflicts, and that peaceful solutions are not always possible, and is willing to kill if necessary.

=== '''''Fears''''' ===
: ■ Ever since the Calamity, Logan's been scared of dragons. After being introduced to the more peaceful side of dragons in Dravania, his fear has lessened, but they can still make him heavily uneasy.
: ■ Being in a leadership position among his friends and even Eorzea, he's terrified of failure and letting down those who hold him to such a high standard.

===Preferences===
: Logan's ideal is someone who's willing to trust him, and open themselves to the same trust. Someone who's willing to work with him to create a solid relationship, knowing they'll have problems, but ready to work through them. He expects to have children and looks forward to raising a family.
: That said, he ended up infatuated with the mysterious Miqo'te, Aiko Slanda, who appeared early in his journey away from home. While she doesn't seem to fit his ideals at all, he nonetheless fell for her, knowing that as much as she needed the stability he was sure he could provide, but that she might hold a key to pushing him forward as a person, and to experience life to its fullest.

=== '''''Weapons''''' ===
William is currently learning the ways of nearly all disciplines and to their advanced job. If he had the choice, he would remain healing, and would rather stay away from the battle's front. Overtime, William learned to embrace the inevitable moment of conflict and thus began apprenticing the many disciplines. Some disciplines interest William enough to even put forth more time into mastering the techniques. The weapons William uses in conflict are as follows:[[File:wf_270_scholar_relic_anabis.jpg|right|500px]]

As he was still making a name for himself before becoming a Warrior of Light, he would partake in the work of alchemy.

As of late, William has temporarily retired the craft of alchemy simply to put other needs forward. In order for him to advance his skills of alchemy, he must learn the ways of other crafts to further his own skills. He is currently working on learning the ways of the goldsmithing, leatherworking, and smithing in order to learn the technique to self-repair his gear that is composed of such craft.

: ■Summoning of each egi and faerie together at a time, yet not in combat.
: ■Taught his gaelikitten to retrieve objects on command.

=Background=
: “My name is William Fedorason.
: For years I have faced a major calamity with only one goal:
: To save my realm. Now others have joined with me in my company.
: To them, I am William, but to the rest of Eorzea,
: I am the Warrior of Light.”

:: -From a letter to Ser Aymeric de Borel in regards to assisting in the Dragonsong War.
=== ''Birth and childhood (0-10)'' ===
: Born William Chambers in the year 1560 of the Sixth Astral Era, he was raised within the hamlet of Hyrstmill of the northern Shroud. His parents are Solmunder Chambers, a well decorated Wood Wailer, and Athilda Chambers, a skilled conjurer for the Twin Adders. He has two older brothers, Piers Chambers, who's a moderate archer and only 9 years older, and Roderick Arrowe, his half-brother who's was a skilled archer among the Gods' Bow and now a secretary for the free company of <<VOID>>. At young age, archery interested him a great deal. His father would craft him his own bow and dulled arrows to play with. Though he was no good, he still enjoyed it no matter what. Whenever William would injure himself when he plays outside, his mother always use her skills of conjury to cure his wounds. Over time, William learned to cure on his own, but not much more conjury than that.
=== ''Adolescent Years'' ===
: As William grew, he met his now best friends in Old Gridania. At the age of eleven, he was tasked to travel to the city to pick up some seeds and tools from the Botanist's Guild to replenish his family's farm. When the guildmaster unfortunately stated there were no such seeds available for pickup, there was an Elezen kid who was also purchasing seeds who had came before him. He had noticed the despair in William's face and gave him a portion of his seeds. He had introduced himself as Brandon. Days passed and they would meet up to hang out, and William was introduced to Brandon's friends: Tyler Ultimathule, an Elezen, and Aries Xela, a Miqo'te who was typically called Alex. The four of them would become inseparable over time.
: William had minimal previous magical encounters. He once came across an altercation between the Sharlayan Circle of Knowing and a dark robed Mage. Apparently there was a surge of aetheric energy coming from near the Ehcatl 9 tribe, the docile Ixali group. William, only twelve at the time, was out gathering some firewood when the Mage confronted him. Frightened, William was cornered into a cavern. He noticed the Mage preparing to cast some magical attack, but was cut short when a Miqote conjurer, Highlander pugilist, and a Lalafellan thaumaturge confronted him. The Mage directed his attacks to hit the pugilist as some magic deflected off her and hit William instead. The conjurer came to his aid and cured his wounds. She remained by his side as the thaumaturge managed to harm the Mage. The Mage soon dissipated away. The three heroes of the hour introduced themselves as Y'shtola, Yda, and Papalymo respectively. They mentioned to William to contact them whenever there is a similar issue in the future. They dedicated there life to protecting the innocent from the forces of darkness saving the realm from calamity. From that day forward, William decided to become an adventurer and aspired to become like them, for he could discern true heroism within them.
====The Calamity Strikes====
: With word of the "Meteor Project" coming to the light of the Eorzean Alliance, the grand companies and allied free companies took up arms to defend the Carteneau Flats from the Garlean menace. William's parents both took up arms to fight with the Twin Adders. At home, William was sitting outside his cottage with his brothers watching the slow descent of the false moon. Though he and Piers never truly saw eye to eye, this may be the only time when they are united. His friends had shown up to wait out the world’s immenent demise. William felt powerless. He wanted to do something about the inevitable calamity that would affect his quaint hamlet. He saw the enormous cracks forming upon Dalamud and something spoke to him inside his head.
:: “Save them later. Be…a…hero…”
: The voice felt as if someone was echoing right behind him, yet when he turned around to check, there was only a dissipating mist. He had asked to his friends around if they heard anything nearby, but they denied. William looked back up to the falling moon as it suddenly bursts as the Dreadwyrm breaks free. William and his friends stand up in shock as Bahamut ravages the land. The first thought to pop in William’s head was the Circle of Knowing that he had met a month prior. He had hoped they would save the realm from total annihilation. William noticed the people around him either crying or standing in complete shock. He notice one man pick up his young daughter and held her tight saying “Everything will be alright sometime soon.” He could see a hunk of the false moon fall near the southern border of the North Shroud. Suddenly a flash of white bright light covers the realm. Soon after, the Dreadwyrm disappears without a trace. Eorzea, a realm reborn out of a tragic calamity, needs a hero.

====A Family in Shambles====
: It has been five hours since the disappearance of Bahamut and William and his brothers are waiting anxiously for their parents to return. It was about the middle of the night when Roderick noticed a tired man carrying a woman in his arms. He trudged toward the cottage and as the light shined on his face, it was their father with tears flooding from his eyes. Roderick yelled for Piers and William to wake up. William came immediately outside and saw his father carrying his mother in his arms. William promptly yelled for his mother to wake up. With tears trailing from his eyes, he attempted to cast Cure on her, but to no avail. He attempted to execute a spell he has been learning, Raise. For a slight moment, he had heard the voice from before, but was indistinguishable. By the grace of the Twelve, his mother's eyes opened. She was awake, but not for long. She could speak, but she was very weak. Solmunder was speechless to witness such a temporary miracle. Athilda knew she would be passing soon, so she gave each a hug and a kiss. She told them all to be well and live happy whilst urging to remain together. Her last breath passed as she took hold on to William's hand before losing her grip on her mortal coil.
: Weeks passed after the passing of Athilda and Piers took excile from his Gridanian home to move to Limsa Lominsa for a new life. With two family members being gone from the home, only Solmunder, Roderick, and William remained. Solmunder tried to remain cheerful in the times of grief, yet he is always reminded of the dreadful day of the Calamity. Rod took notice of his father's decline in strength and mobility over time. He believed it to be caused by the grief and the PTSD from the moment Athilda's life started slipping. Rod thought to move the family to start over. Within two months, the family moved out of Hyrstmill and into the Lavender Beds. Once settled in, Rod taught William archery in the yard of their new home. Needless to say, William's skills advanced fairly over time.
: Years passed and Piers returned home from his travels in Vylbrand. In that time, Piers worked part time as a bow-for-hire and fell for a Miqo'te girl. Over time, they got a house, yet she would mooch gil off of Piers and eventually kicked Piers out of "their" house for an Auri girl. Defeated, he returned home. He had found the location of the new family home and noticed William practicing archery. Piers took pride in his skills of archery and believed he should be the best archer in the family, although he does not care whether Rod was good or not for some reason. As he came around the corner, he noticed William hit a bullseye thrice in a row. Piers' resent for William was reignited. For months they would have petty competitions too see who was the better archer.
: When William was about 15, he and Piers had one of their usual archery competitions. After each round, William was always closer to the center than Piers. At a moment when William was ready to shoot his next arrow at the target, Piers yelled out that he cheats each time. As he was ranting aloud, William shrugged it off until he could no longer. Piers then accused William that he was never really loved by his mother, such that it was all out of pity. William could not hold back much longer and as he released the arrow from the bow, he immediately turned to Piers to tell him off, yet the arrow was still in the bowstring. The arrow managed to hit the bullseye, but not on the target and instead in Piers' left eye. He fell to the ground screaming and writhing in pain. Piers yelled obscenities and slurs toward William. William considered taking out his wand to cure Piers, but he fled the yard instead. He returned about 75 minutes later to the house to see Piers passed out in the living room with the arrow still in the eye. William attempted to cure the eye. As he casted the spell, he slowly remove the arrow from Piers' eye. He noticed Piers' body relax some and soon woke up. Piers woke up wondering why he felt no pain rubbing his eyes. He opened his eyes and rubbed his left eye some more. He could see out his right but not in his left. Starting to panic, he ran to a mirror nearby , nearly tripping on a stool. He looked in the mirror to see his left eye foggy. Piers was blind in his left eye. Piers screamed out in horror and blamed William that he could never practice archery again. In the morning, Piers was gone and was not heard from again, officially.

=== ''Adulthood'' ===
====The Beginnings of an Adventurer====
: At the age of sixteen, after all the years following tragedy after tragedy, William finally prepared to set off for Gridania. On the day before he sets off for an adventurer's life, he prepared his bow, one made by his father. He had wondered whether or not fame would come for him quickly as his family name is of Chambers. He does not want to easily be significant as the "Son of Solmunder Chambers". He went to his father for advice upon the matter and contemplated whether going by another name should suffice. Solmunder sat him down next to him and took his old fedora off and plopped onto William's head. He told him how he should do what he feels is right and never look back. He agreed wholeheartedly with William considering to go by another name. He even told him a little story..
:: "Aye Will, ye listen close. Once upon eh time there was eh young Lominsan lad who lived amongst eh family of ruthless 'n coldhearted killehs 'n theives. 'E was forced to join th' crew iffen 'e wants some grub and eh night's rest. 'Pon the day of 'is eighteenth nameday, 'e mustered 'is courage t' leave 'is godsforsaken home, iffen it could be called eh home. 'E took to th' ports of Limsa Lominsa 'n 'e found eh small cargo ship to th' mainland 'o Aldenard. 'E arrived en Vesper Bay where 'e could 'ear some word of eh trip to th' Shroud. Now 'e was quite skilled en the disciplines of archery 'n spearin', so Gridania was quite th' place for harnessin' 'is skills. 'E took the first journey to th' Shroud and landed en th' Adventurer's Guild. They at th' time were-eh pryin' for th' lad's name. 'E could not take aftah 'is true name, for 'e could be eithah arrested by th' Serpents or found by 'is twisted family! 'Is 'eart was racin' so 'e scrubbed off o' 'is last name for 'is new name. Chambers. See lad, for 'e was I. When I was at 'bout ye' age for even I was at ye' place. I needed t' make eh name for me-self. 'N that I did, lad. I rose the to th' tops o' ranks of th' Wailers n' I even met ye motheh. She'd be quite proud of ye decision. Take 'tis hat wit' ye wherever ye go. 'Tis nice for th' formal nights 'n even was what ye motheh noticed first of me!"
: William had not known of his father's history before the Wailers before now. He took the fancy hat and packed it in his suitcase with his other clothes. He grabbed his old wand and placed it near his bow when his brother came to see him. He had been practicing archery everyday to prepare for this moment. Rod wished him luck for his journeys ahead and urged him to never give up when things seems hard.

: ■✖Athilda Chambers née Arrowe, (Mother)
:: [[File:Athilda_Chambers.jpg|right|250px|Athilda Chambers]]
::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "My mother is my true inspiration to why I remain healing. It's what she would have wanted.."</div>
:::: Athilda was born in the streets of Ul'Dah, not knowing her true family. She would be a thief in order to get a meal, occasionaly stealing from the marketplace. One day, the grocer took notice of her actions and let the game continue for a while until she confronted her. Athilda, being scared of being arrested, attempted to run, yet was caught immediately. The grocer caught her by the Weavers' Guild and inquired about her life. She told her that she had no home, no family, and no food. Without a second thought, the grocer took her in and raised her. The grocer's name was Petra Arrowe. As she grew older, Athilda, moved to the Shroud to make a name for herself. She thanked her foster mother for everything she's done for her and stayed in touch.
::::Before her marriage to William's father, she gave birth to Roderick, William's oldest brother, yet she was rather promiscuous during her twenties, so Roderick's biological father is unknown but assumed to be a Gods' Quiver archer. Having changed her ways, she found Solmunder eight years later and fell in love and married. They had their first son together Piers and then nine years later their second son William. Athilda lived her life as conjurer for the Twin Adders. Both she and Solmunder were fighting with the Grand Companies at Cartenau against the Garlean menace before the Calamity struck. Solmunder fought valiantly and took many Garlean lives with Athilda alongside him. As they were taking out the enemy, Athilda was caught blindsided and was slew by an Imperial Laquearius. Solmunder was filled with rage and pierced the Laquearius through its heart. Solmunder survived the battle and returned home to his children after the Calamity struck and informed them of the tragic news. William took it hardest of all. Only being twelve at the time of this calamity, he was really close to his mother and she would show him conjury tricks. Whenever William heals for his party, he always thinks of his mother guiding him through to victory..

: ■Solmunder Chambers, (Father)
:: [[File:Solmunder_Chambers.jpg|right|250px|Solmunder Chambers]]
::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "My father would never let any bad situation ruin his sense of humor!"</div>
:::: Solmunder Chambers came from a terrible household in Limsa Lominsa. He was born to a family of vile pirates known as the Chamberlain Crew. He was forced to partake in villainous crimes if he was to get a meal and bed each day. When he became eighteen years of age, he mustered the courage to hitch a ship to Aldenard without saying one word to his family. He arrived in Vesper Bay and changed his name to Chambers, for slight differentiation from his family. He trekked to the Shroud in hopes to learn either archery or lancing; upon his arrival to Gridania, he learned the latter. He became skilled quickly enough for one of the Wood Wailers to take notice and suggest him to be a private among them. For many years he was an esteemed Wood Wailer and caught the eye of a fan, Athilda. They met at the Carline Canopy when Solmunder was off duty and Athilda noticed him. She approached him commending him for his valor in protecting the Shroud and immediately hit it off. They would always make jokes with each other with Solmunder always cracking horrible puns, yet Athilda laughed anyways. Athilda's nickname for Solmunder was "Sully" and although he wasn't too fond of it, it did not bother him either way; His nickname for her was Thillie and she liked it. They worked together roaming the Shroud, vanquishing any threat to Gridania with Athilda supporting Sully as he fought head-on.

:::: After the passing of his wife, Solmunder tried to keep his joy alive by providing for their children. Sully was only in his early forties yet became weak at holding his lance for long. Roderick, who was proficient at archery, joined the Gods' Bow to provide coin for the family. Sully, being grateful for Rod's generosity, officially retired his lance and stayed at home to tend to the family crops. William loved his father dearly and would always assist him when Sully is unable to move around. William talked to his father about leaving to provide even more for his family. William even mentioned desiring to change his surname to became notable for his own deeds, not his father's. Solmunder was quite the opposite of being disappointed and gave William a big hug and told him he was proud of that decision and mentioned his own story of coming to Aldenard. To this day, William provides 45 percent of his earnings to his family and visits home every now and then. His father is his inspiration for whenever William cracks a silly pun and would think of him every time he does.
: ■♦Piers Chambers, (Brother)
:: [[File:Piers_Chambers.jpg|right|250px|Piers Chambers]]
::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "Piers and I never really saw eye to eye. He always tried to rival me in archery, even when his accuracy was low.."</div>
:::: Piers is the middle child in the Chambers' family and felt he was only treated as such. He felt so much praise until William was born, and from then on he tended to resent him. William tried to show his love for his brother, but was never noticed. So he simply gave up and did not care for him. When their mother was killed in battle, there was even more disgust between the brothers. Piers always thought their mother favored William over him and he was filled with anger. Soon after, Piers left for Limsa Lominsa to get away from the family for a while. He had hoped his excile will cure his anger. In the meantime, Roderick taught William archery and became a prodigy at it. A few years passed and Piers returned home having made minor success and lost it all when he fell for a Miqo'te courtesan. He thought she truly loved him so he gave her a home in the Mist for them to live together. However, she mooched off gil after gil until she had the deed of the house and kicked him out for an Auri girl. He had but no choice to return home.

:::: Upon his return to Hyrstmill, he had noticed that the family had moved out of the hamlet and into a house in the Lavender Beds. When he found where the family was living at, he noticed William practicing archery in the yard with a target. He noticed William hit a bullseye with each shot. Piers did not like how William was better at archery than he and this refueled his anger. For the years to follow, they would pointlessly compete at archery. During one of these competitions, Piers blew a gasket and accused William of cheating everytime. William, unable to keep his cool, was about to make a shot at the target and turned to tell off Piers, but the arrow was released. The arrow flew and pierced Piers in the eye. Piers, writhing in pain screamed out obscenities toward William. William, knowing the conjury spell Cure, could have healed Piers if done immediately, but ran in fear. He came back home that night attempting to cure Piers' pain. The pain was gone, but Piers could never see in his left eye again. To this day, Piers is somewhere in Ul'Dah with his exact whereabouts unknown. William would once in a while recieve death threats from an anonymous sender, yet he could always recognize Piers' penmanship.

=Prompts=
==F.A.Q.'s==
: ■ Does your character have siblings or family members in their age group? Which one are they closest with?
:: William’s two siblings have a big age gap from William, with Piers being 9 years older and Rod being 17 years older. William is not remotely close to Piers any way. They have had too much bad blood over the years. Rod however remains very close to William, as he first taught him archery as he became a novice. Any other relatives are unknown as his father came from a family of pirates and his mother grew up in the streets of Ul’Dah.
: ■ What is/was your character’s relationship with their mother like?
:: While she was still alive, she would always tell William stories of her adventures with his father each night as a child. William loved his mother dearly such that she is the true reason he kept healing. She taught him the basic heal Cure as a child. There were several instances where he became so flustered, he considered retiring his codex. Yet he remembered his mother would never give up in the heat of battle, so neither should he.
: ■ What is/was your character’s relationship with their father like?
:: His relationship to his father is quite as loving as his relationship to his mother! Before Rod was actually teaching William archery, it was his father who gave him his first bow and arrow set. Even thouch his father was adept lancing, he had knew archery as well. When he presented William his own set, at roughly nine years old, his father demonstrated archery to him by taking three arrows from a quiver, placing each in his bow, and accurately shot the bullseye! William’s face was filled with awe and his love for archery began. His father’s jokes also rubbed off onto William, which eventually became everyone else’s misfortune. Every cracked pun blossomed from the sole purpose to simply make everyone happy, as his father made him.
: ■ Has your character ever witnessed something that fundamentally changed them? If so, does anyone else know?
:: A year into William’s travels, having been months since he became a Warrior of Light, he was assisting the historical scholars of NOAH with emergence of the Crystal Tower. William was mainly a user of white magic and was hesitant to pick up a new skill at the time. He was tasked with preventing the realm becoming a World of Darkness. There was another healer in his group, one whose techniques differed from his own. He had not seen a healer perform abilities like these before. In duty, William took notice that their Warrior was taking too much damage at a point for William to replenish health quick enough. The Warrior got weak enough to the point where William was forced to grant him Benediction. The other healer managed to take over the main healing and was granting him aetheric shields to nullify incoming damage. William was astounded to see such a trick done in battle. After the duty was complete, he asked the other healer in the group where he learned such skills; he told him to find Alka Zolka and ask her the ways of the Nymian Scholar. Henceforth, he dedicated his following days studying the abilities of a Scholar in battle and became an adept Scholar under the great Nymian Scholar Surito Carito.
: ■ On an average day, what can be found in your character’s pockets?
:: Usually pocket lint.
: ■ What does your OC look for in a friend? Do they value friendship a lot?
:: What William finds for in a friend is someone who he is able to put his trust into, someone who he knows respects him as he to them, and someone who can put up with all of his dang shenanigans! Does he value friendship? Are chocobo couriers actually yellow chocobos splathered with tar? Yes! Friendship means everything to William and never wants to sever ties with someone he has grown see as a friend.
: ■ Is there a place they go to in order to escape the world, the stresses of life? What’s their favourite place?
:: Whenever William feels stressed from either a poor dungeon dive or surrounded by plenty of drama, he either resides within the study of his home to review over past tomes or journeys to Tailfeather to surround himself with the chocobos within their natural habitat. Either resolution renders William at peace.
: ■ What are concepts they value? Virtues? What do they look down upon?
:: William values the safety of his friends at all times within a duty. Whether he chooses to be the designated healer or a bard, he refuses to allow his party to fail, or even perish. He also values his friends above all else. As his virtues, William selects loyalty, as in to each other, and family, as in he places his family above everything else, whether it be his blood family or his friends who he looks to as a family. William looks down upon a betrayal of trust. He finds it very hard to mend broken ties, yet can turn the other cheek if necessary.
: ■Do they have a guilty conscience? Why? Did they ever do something they totally regretted?
:: William is as innocent as he’s going to get. He totally does not enact shenanigans in public as the Chocobo. What if he was the Chocobo? He would not regret it one bit. He finds it hilarious to be stared at when he conducts his weekly foray into Issom-Har in his chocobo suit. However the most shenanigans he would openly admit to would be shuffling up Sugis’ books. Yet he really needs to learn to conduct his prank while she isn’t home..
: ■ What are Tropes you associate with your muse?
:: ● Bookworm since he studies old tomes he’s collected from the Gubal Library during some of Sugis’ forays, yet while he does not have a collection of tomes to amount Sugis’, his collection sums to an estimate of sixty.
:: ● a literal Scholar, while that may be preferred healing job in duties, he tends to overly study past civilizations. He has recently taken an interest in the War of the Magi and regularly conducts expeditions to the Yafaem saltmoors for Mhach and the Wanderer’s Palace to communicate with the tonberries of Nym, if he manages to find a sane tonberry.
:: ● Chocobo.
: ■ If given a million dollars, what would your OC do?
:: “Dollars? Is that a currency? The only common currency used across Eorzea is gil, so I’ll assume the question will refer to gil.”
:: William upon given a million gil will immediately donate a quarter to his family for however his father seems fit, a quarter to his free company to fund their move from their current base of a cottage in the Lavender Beds into a mansion of appealing scenary, a quarter to the Adventurer’s Guild for showing how even a Warrior of Light can make his start with them, and the remaining quarter for himself for various luxuries for his private house (totally not decorating it fully in chocobo decor).
==Other O.C.'s Relationships==
===Sugis Kevade===
: ■"Rumor has it that William deals in shady blackmarket business what with multiplw people seeing him go into the Kevade Mansion so often...."
:: While that may appear so, his business at the mansion is strictly personal! He considers the “Void” officers friends! While Suvi is verbally annoyed by his jokes, William notices a smirk followed by disbelief upon his face. On occasion, he may give business advice, as he runs his free company. While he stays out of specific business details, he cares not for whatever “shady” business is conducted, yet refuses to get involved in actual dealings. Although on one instance, he proposed that Suvi hire William’s older brother to do some secretarial work.
: William's memories of Sugis
:: ⭐️ One memory of William remembers is the day they first met in a duty to clear the first hall of Dzemael Darkhold. William on occasion tells Sugis how he both regrets and is grateful for that encounter.
:: ⭐️ No matter what’s happening, whether it be a dangerous raid or utter nonsense, William and Sugis will not hesitate to be sarcastic and sassy to each other.
:: ⭐️ William will not step one foot inside Sugis’ house. He once did and he was frightened by the sheer number of books in her house. Her house would put the Gubal Library out of business.
:: ⭐️ How many puns does it take for William to get on Sugis’s nerves. A skele-ton. She’d punish him, but that in itself would be helping his situation.
: Sugis' memories of William
:: ⭐️ Despite a slight age gap, and the fact that Will is /technically an adult/ Sugis still treats him like a child when it comes to his safety.
:: ⭐️ Sugis quit drinking due to something that happened involving dungeon crawling, Will pressuring a drunken Ishgardian Dragoon to “Do It”, and multiple Gas Bombs.
:: ⭐️ She likes to tease him, lightheartedly, about girls and when he’s gonna start dating to fluster him.
:: ⭐️ If there was a gil for every time she shouted “You’re grounded” to Will… She’d probably be rich(er).
:: ⭐️ Sugis takes the more serious marks for hunts and mercenary related stuff because she doesn’t want to see Will get hurt.
===Riaa Alteir===
: Riaa's memories of William
:: ⭐️ Riaa thinks that William is quite silly, but she appreciates it. Most people are too serious so it’s a nice change. She especially likes the OH JEEZ
:: ⭐️ to the point now where Riaa gleefully joins in on the OH JEEZ as well. She isn’t too bothered if it’s bugging anybody, but she’s definately having fun with it, and figures if SHE’S having fun with it then William must also be having fun too and YAY FUN.
:: ⭐️ She likes his hat. Not any specific one, just all of them. (Riaa really likes the chocobo head though, she thinks it’s hilarious.)
:: ⭐️ (Weed-Lizard) After the pixie stix incident, Mariko is worried about the purity of her candy, and as such double-triple checks that it’s not got anything else in. She’s also a bit worried that William managed to get tweaked out like that. On candy. How even…?
===Darius Kinkaid===
: Darius' memories of William
:: ⭐️ Darius knows about William through his subordinate, Ringabel [Sugis]. He’s heard nothing but good things, but is convinced William lives in a constant state of thinking everyone is going to die in an instant.
:: ⭐️ Darius also believes William was a chocobo in a past life.
:: ⭐️ When they first met, them two didn’t speak much outside of momentary jokes and the like, but they both soon found out they both read stories about a fictional group of heroes. The first book in question? “Red Helm and the Vandals.” There are other books, but William is convinced Darius idolizes this “Red Helm” character. He’s not absolutely wrong.
:: ⭐️ Since finding out about his sister, Darius has attended every small party William and his Free Company has thrown. The scholar in question is the only person who knows Darius disguises himself as an entertainer in a Vanu Vanu outfit.
:: ⭐️ William is constantly forgetting who Darius is, claiming he had seen him before in outlandish roles and places. It is unknown if William just does this to try and get inside Darius’s head or if it’s honestly forgetfulness.
:: ⭐️ Darius and William finally became friends when a mishap occurred while questing. They both had said “Oh Jeez” at the same time, rendering odd looks from both parties.

:'''Logan Holden''', began life simply, living in Moraby Bay, with his father who was a fisherman, his mother who was a Yellowjacket, and his twin sister who looked very little like him. When he was nineteen years old, a voice called him away to adventure, to face a rising threat. Although originally unwilling to leave his happy and peaceful life behind, his sister urged him onwards, and together the pair became adventurers. Logan quickly adopted to the simple style of combat employed by Gladiators, and found security behind the heavy armour and shields they bore, relying on them more than agility to protect both himself and those around him. His eagerness to assist led to being noticed by the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, and he eagerly became a member.

==Logan's Typical Inventory==
'''Last updated:''' N/A
: - Items

=Appearance=
[[File:logan_holden_casual.png|right|500px]]
'''Height:''' 5 fulms 9 ilms

'''Weight:''' 130 ponz

'''Complexion: ''' Fair.

'''Hair: ''' Light Brown with White dyed streaks.

'''Eyes: ''' Green.

: William's physical figure is rather average size with some musculature due to his continued training of several war disciplines. He has a scar that goes down his right side of his face, barely missing the eye. He got that scar after a run in with an Imperial Centurion. His other scar the left side of his face came from an Ixali encounter. William tends to sport a green painted stripe across his eyes merely for aesthetic purposes. His father would wear a similar facepaint during his younger days in the Wood Wailers.

=Behavior=
=== '''''Behavior''''' ===
: Logan does his best to always be respectful of others upon meeting them, and generally stays quiet and lets them talk, until he's required to speak. When he is, he tends to answer in the shortest form possible, and often stammers through words until he can get a feel of the person and the conversation.
: When with people he trusts and feels comfortable with, he's far more open and enjoys telling jokes, stories, and listening to others. Even still, you'll often find him on his own, or to one side, as being around a lot of people can make him uncomfortable after long periods of time. He enjoys his quieter time to himself quite a bit.
: Logan is incredibly hard to make angry, though he may feign annoyance and frustration to give what he assumes is the desired reaction from a joke. He always makes sure you know when he's serious, and he hopes he'll get your attention as much as he'd give you his.
: The only time you'll see Logan honestly upset or angry is towards those who don't understand how to take care of others, or those who have betrayed or hurt people. He has little tolerance for the evils of the world, and holds fast to the phrase "do unto others as you would have them do unto you".
: If possible, Logan will prevent the death of any intelligent being, from the Elezen of Isghard to the Kobolds of La Noscea, putting his shield and sword pommel to good use. He does, however, accept that Eorzea is embroiled in violent conflicts, and that peaceful solutions are not always possible, and is willing to kill if necessary.

=== '''''Fears''''' ===
: ■ Ever since the Calamity, Logan's been scared of dragons. After being introduced to the more peaceful side of dragons in Dravania, his fear has lessened, but they can still make him heavily uneasy.
: ■ Being in a leadership position among his friends and even Eorzea, he's terrified of failure and letting down those who hold him to such a high standard.

===Preferences===
: Logan's ideal is someone who's willing to trust him, and open themselves to the same trust. Someone who's willing to work with him to create a solid relationship, knowing they'll have problems, but ready to work through them. He expects to have children and looks forward to raising a family.
: That said, he ended up infatuated with the mysterious Miqo'te, Aiko Slanda, who appeared early in his journey away from home. While she doesn't seem to fit his ideals at all, he nonetheless fell for her, knowing that as much as she needed the stability he was sure he could provide, but that she might hold a key to pushing him forward as a person, and to experience life to its fullest.

An optional blurb about how your character looks and behaves during combat.

=== '''''Weapons''''' ===
William is currently learning the ways of nearly all disciplines and to their advanced job. If he had the choice, he would remain healing, and would rather stay away from the battle's front. Overtime, William learned to embrace the inevitable moment of conflict and thus began apprenticing the many disciplines. Some disciplines interest William enough to even put forth more time into mastering the techniques. The weapons William uses in conflict are as follows:[[File:wf_270_scholar_relic_anabis.jpg|right|500px]]

: ■Regenerative magic.
: ■Shielding magic.
: ■Embrace by the Echo
: ■Aetheric channeling

=== '''''Crafting''''' ===
As he was still making a name for himself before becoming a Warrior of Light, he would partake in the work of alchemy. He has always enjoyed the act of making elixers to assist his allies with enhancing their abilities or replenishing their vigor. As of late, William has temporarily retired the craft of alchemy simply to put other needs forward. In order for him to advance his skills of alchemy, he must learn the ways of other crafts to further his own skills. He is currently working on learning the ways of the goldsmithing, leatherworking, and smithing in order to learn the technique to self-repair his gear that is composed of such craft.

=== '''''Talents''''' ===
: ■Summoning of each egi and faerie together at a time, yet not in combat.
: ■Taught his gaelikitten to retrieve objects on command.
: ■Proficient in archery to be able to shoot three arrows at once at a target.

=Background=
: “My name is William Fedorason.
: For years I have faced a major calamity with only one goal:
: To save my realm. Now others have joined with me in my company.
: To them, I am William, but to the rest of Eorzea,
: I am the Warrior of Light.”

:: -From a letter to Ser Aymeric de Borel in regards to assisting in the Dragonsong War.
=== ''Birth and childhood (0-10)'' ===
: Born William Chambers in the year 1560 of the Sixth Astral Era, he was raised within the hamlet of Hyrstmill of the northern Shroud. His parents are Solmunder Chambers, a well decorated Wood Wailer, and Athilda Chambers, a skilled conjurer for the Twin Adders. He has two older brothers, Piers Chambers, who's a moderate archer and only 9 years older, and Roderick Arrowe, his half-brother who's was a skilled archer among the Gods' Bow and now a secretary for the free company of <<VOID>>. At young age, archery interested him a great deal. His father would craft him his own bow and dulled arrows to play with. Though he was no good, he still enjoyed it no matter what. Whenever William would injure himself when he plays outside, his mother always use her skills of conjury to cure his wounds. Over time, William learned to cure on his own, but not much more conjury than that.
=== ''Adolescent Years'' ===
: As William grew, he met his now best friends in Old Gridania. At the age of eleven, he was tasked to travel to the city to pick up some seeds and tools from the Botanist's Guild to replenish his family's farm. When the guildmaster unfortunately stated there were no such seeds available for pickup, there was an Elezen kid who was also purchasing seeds who had came before him. He had noticed the despair in William's face and gave him a portion of his seeds. He had introduced himself as Brandon. Days passed and they would meet up to hang out, and William was introduced to Brandon's friends: Tyler Ultimathule, an Elezen, and Aries Xela, a Miqo'te who was typically called Alex. The four of them would become inseparable over time.
: William had minimal previous magical encounters. He once came across an altercation between the Sharlayan Circle of Knowing and a dark robed Mage. Apparently there was a surge of aetheric energy coming from near the Ehcatl 9 tribe, the docile Ixali group. William, only twelve at the time, was out gathering some firewood when the Mage confronted him. Frightened, William was cornered into a cavern. He noticed the Mage preparing to cast some magical attack, but was cut short when a Miqote conjurer, Highlander pugilist, and a Lalafellan thaumaturge confronted him. The Mage directed his attacks to hit the pugilist as some magic deflected off her and hit William instead. The conjurer came to his aid and cured his wounds. She remained by his side as the thaumaturge managed to harm the Mage. The Mage soon dissipated away. The three heroes of the hour introduced themselves as Y'shtola, Yda, and Papalymo respectively. They mentioned to William to contact them whenever there is a similar issue in the future. They dedicated there life to protecting the innocent from the forces of darkness saving the realm from calamity. From that day forward, William decided to become an adventurer and aspired to become like them, for he could discern true heroism within them.
====The Calamity Strikes====
: With word of the "Meteor Project" coming to the light of the Eorzean Alliance, the grand companies and allied free companies took up arms to defend the Carteneau Flats from the Garlean menace. William's parents both took up arms to fight with the Twin Adders. At home, William was sitting outside his cottage with his brothers watching the slow descent of the false moon. Though he and Piers never truly saw eye to eye, this may be the only time when they are united. His friends had shown up to wait out the world’s immenent demise. William felt powerless. He wanted to do something about the inevitable calamity that would affect his quaint hamlet. He saw the enormous cracks forming upon Dalamud and something spoke to him inside his head.
:: “Save them later. Be…a…hero…”
: The voice felt as if someone was echoing right behind him, yet when he turned around to check, there was only a dissipating mist. He had asked to his friends around if they heard anything nearby, but they denied. William looked back up to the falling moon as it suddenly bursts as the Dreadwyrm breaks free. William and his friends stand up in shock as Bahamut ravages the land. The first thought to pop in William’s head was the Circle of Knowing that he had met a month prior. He had hoped they would save the realm from total annihilation. William noticed the people around him either crying or standing in complete shock. He notice one man pick up his young daughter and held her tight saying “Everything will be alright sometime soon.” He could see a hunk of the false moon fall near the southern border of the North Shroud. Suddenly a flash of white bright light covers the realm. Soon after, the Dreadwyrm disappears without a trace. Eorzea, a realm reborn out of a tragic calamity, needs a hero.

====A Family in Shambles====
: It has been five hours since the disappearance of Bahamut and William and his brothers are waiting anxiously for their parents to return. It was about the middle of the night when Roderick noticed a tired man carrying a woman in his arms. He trudged toward the cottage and as the light shined on his face, it was their father with tears flooding from his eyes. Roderick yelled for Piers and William to wake up. William came immediately outside and saw his father carrying his mother in his arms. William promptly yelled for his mother to wake up. With tears trailing from his eyes, he attempted to cast Cure on her, but to no avail. He attempted to execute a spell he has been learning, Raise. For a slight moment, he had heard the voice from before, but was indistinguishable. By the grace of the Twelve, his mother's eyes opened. She was awake, but not for long. She could speak, but she was very weak. Solmunder was speechless to witness such a temporary miracle. Athilda knew she would be passing soon, so she gave each a hug and a kiss. She told them all to be well and live happy whilst urging to remain together. Her last breath passed as she took hold on to William's hand before losing her grip on her mortal coil.
: Weeks passed after the passing of Athilda and Piers took excile from his Gridanian home to move to Limsa Lominsa for a new life. With two family members being gone from the home, only Solmunder, Roderick, and William remained. Solmunder tried to remain cheerful in the times of grief, yet he is always reminded of the dreadful day of the Calamity. Rod took notice of his father's decline in strength and mobility over time. He believed it to be caused by the grief and the PTSD from the moment Athilda's life started slipping. Rod thought to move the family to start over. Within two months, the family moved out of Hyrstmill and into the Lavender Beds. Once settled in, Rod taught William archery in the yard of their new home. Needless to say, William's skills advanced fairly over time.
: Years passed and Piers returned home from his travels in Vylbrand. In that time, Piers worked part time as a bow-for-hire and fell for a Miqo'te girl. Over time, they got a house, yet she would mooch gil off of Piers and eventually kicked Piers out of "their" house for an Auri girl. Defeated, he returned home. He had found the location of the new family home and noticed William practicing archery. Piers took pride in his skills of archery and believed he should be the best archer in the family, although he does not care whether Rod was good or not for some reason. As he came around the corner, he noticed William hit a bullseye thrice in a row. Piers' resent for William was reignited. For months they would have petty competitions too see who was the better archer.
: When William was about 15, he and Piers had one of their usual archery competitions. After each round, William was always closer to the center than Piers. At a moment when William was ready to shoot his next arrow at the target, Piers yelled out that he cheats each time. As he was ranting aloud, William shrugged it off until he could no longer. Piers then accused William that he was never really loved by his mother, such that it was all out of pity. William could not hold back much longer and as he released the arrow from the bow, he immediately turned to Piers to tell him off, yet the arrow was still in the bowstring. The arrow managed to hit the bullseye, but not on the target and instead in Piers' left eye. He fell to the ground screaming and writhing in pain. Piers yelled obscenities and slurs toward William. William considered taking out his wand to cure Piers, but he fled the yard instead. He returned about 75 minutes later to the house to see Piers passed out in the living room with the arrow still in the eye. William attempted to cure the eye. As he casted the spell, he slowly remove the arrow from Piers' eye. He noticed Piers' body relax some and soon woke up. Piers woke up wondering why he felt no pain rubbing his eyes. He opened his eyes and rubbed his left eye some more. He could see out his right but not in his left. Starting to panic, he ran to a mirror nearby , nearly tripping on a stool. He looked in the mirror to see his left eye foggy. Piers was blind in his left eye. Piers screamed out in horror and blamed William that he could never practice archery again. In the morning, Piers was gone and was not heard from again, officially.

=== ''Adulthood'' ===
====The Beginnings of an Adventurer====
: At the age of sixteen, after all the years following tragedy after tragedy, William finally prepared to set off for Gridania. On the day before he sets off for an adventurer's life, he prepared his bow, one made by his father. He had wondered whether or not fame would come for him quickly as his family name is of Chambers. He does not want to easily be significant as the "Son of Solmunder Chambers". He went to his father for advice upon the matter and contemplated whether going by another name should suffice. Solmunder sat him down next to him and took his old fedora off and plopped onto William's head. He told him how he should do what he feels is right and never look back. He agreed wholeheartedly with William considering to go by another name. He even told him a little story..
:: "Aye Will, ye listen close. Once upon eh time there was eh young Lominsan lad who lived amongst eh family of ruthless 'n coldhearted killehs 'n theives. 'E was forced to join th' crew iffen 'e wants some grub and eh night's rest. 'Pon the day of 'is eighteenth nameday, 'e mustered 'is courage t' leave 'is godsforsaken home, iffen it could be called eh home. 'E took to th' ports of Limsa Lominsa 'n 'e found eh small cargo ship to th' mainland 'o Aldenard. 'E arrived en Vesper Bay where 'e could 'ear some word of eh trip to th' Shroud. Now 'e was quite skilled en the disciplines of archery 'n spearin', so Gridania was quite th' place for harnessin' 'is skills. 'E took the first journey to th' Shroud and landed en th' Adventurer's Guild. They at th' time were-eh pryin' for th' lad's name. 'E could not take aftah 'is true name, for 'e could be eithah arrested by th' Serpents or found by 'is twisted family! 'Is 'eart was racin' so 'e scrubbed off o' 'is last name for 'is new name. Chambers. See lad, for 'e was I. When I was at 'bout ye' age for even I was at ye' place. I needed t' make eh name for me-self. 'N that I did, lad. I rose the to th' tops o' ranks of th' Wailers n' I even met ye motheh. She'd be quite proud of ye decision. Take 'tis hat wit' ye wherever ye go. 'Tis nice for th' formal nights 'n even was what ye motheh noticed first of me!"
: William had not known of his father's history before the Wailers before now. He took the fancy hat and packed it in his suitcase with his other clothes. He grabbed his old wand and placed it near his bow when his brother came to see him. He had been practicing archery everyday to prepare for this moment. Rod wished him luck for his journeys ahead and urged him to never give up when things seems hard.

===Family===

: ■✖Athilda Chambers née Arrowe, (Mother)
:: [[File:Athilda_Chambers.jpg|right|250px|Athilda Chambers]]
::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "My mother is my true inspiration to why I remain healing. It's what she would have wanted.."</div>
:::: Athilda was born in the streets of Ul'Dah, not knowing her true family. She would be a thief in order to get a meal, occasionaly stealing from the marketplace. One day, the grocer took notice of her actions and let the game continue for a while until she confronted her. Athilda, being scared of being arrested, attempted to run, yet was caught immediately. The grocer caught her by the Weavers' Guild and inquired about her life. She told her that she had no home, no family, and no food. Without a second thought, the grocer took her in and raised her. The grocer's name was Petra Arrowe. As she grew older, Athilda, moved to the Shroud to make a name for herself. She thanked her foster mother for everything she's done for her and stayed in touch.
::::Before her marriage to William's father, she gave birth to Roderick, William's oldest brother, yet she was rather promiscuous during her twenties, so Roderick's biological father is unknown but assumed to be a Gods' Quiver archer. Having changed her ways, she found Solmunder eight years later and fell in love and married. They had their first son together Piers and then nine years later their second son William. Athilda lived her life as conjurer for the Twin Adders. Both she and Solmunder were fighting with the Grand Companies at Cartenau against the Garlean menace before the Calamity struck. Solmunder fought valiantly and took many Garlean lives with Athilda alongside him. As they were taking out the enemy, Athilda was caught blindsided and was slew by an Imperial Laquearius. Solmunder was filled with rage and pierced the Laquearius through its heart. Solmunder survived the battle and returned home to his children after the Calamity struck and informed them of the tragic news. William took it hardest of all. Only being twelve at the time of this calamity, he was really close to his mother and she would show him conjury tricks. Whenever William heals for his party, he always thinks of his mother guiding him through to victory..

: ■Solmunder Chambers, (Father)
:: [[File:Solmunder_Chambers.jpg|right|250px|Solmunder Chambers]]
::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "My father would never let any bad situation ruin his sense of humor!"</div>
:::: Solmunder Chambers came from a terrible household in Limsa Lominsa. He was born to a family of vile pirates known as the Chamberlain Crew. He was forced to partake in villainous crimes if he was to get a meal and bed each day. When he became eighteen years of age, he mustered the courage to hitch a ship to Aldenard without saying one word to his family. He arrived in Vesper Bay and changed his name to Chambers, for slight differentiation from his family. He trekked to the Shroud in hopes to learn either archery or lancing; upon his arrival to Gridania, he learned the latter. He became skilled quickly enough for one of the Wood Wailers to take notice and suggest him to be a private among them. For many years he was an esteemed Wood Wailer and caught the eye of a fan, Athilda. They met at the Carline Canopy when Solmunder was off duty and Athilda noticed him. She approached him commending him for his valor in protecting the Shroud and immediately hit it off. They would always make jokes with each other with Solmunder always cracking horrible puns, yet Athilda laughed anyways. Athilda's nickname for Solmunder was "Sully" and although he wasn't too fond of it, it did not bother him either way; His nickname for her was Thillie and she liked it. They worked together roaming the Shroud, vanquishing any threat to Gridania with Athilda supporting Sully as he fought head-on.

:::: After the passing of his wife, Solmunder tried to keep his joy alive by providing for their children. Sully was only in his early forties yet became weak at holding his lance for long. Roderick, who was proficient at archery, joined the Gods' Bow to provide coin for the family. Sully, being grateful for Rod's generosity, officially retired his lance and stayed at home to tend to the family crops. William loved his father dearly and would always assist him when Sully is unable to move around. William talked to his father about leaving to provide even more for his family. William even mentioned desiring to change his surname to became notable for his own deeds, not his father's. Solmunder was quite the opposite of being disappointed and gave William a big hug and told him he was proud of that decision and mentioned his own story of coming to Aldenard. To this day, William provides 45 percent of his earnings to his family and visits home every now and then. His father is his inspiration for whenever William cracks a silly pun and would think of him every time he does.
: ■♦Piers Chambers, (Brother)
:: [[File:Piers_Chambers.jpg|right|250px|Piers Chambers]]
::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "Piers and I never really saw eye to eye. He always tried to rival me in archery, even when his accuracy was low.."</div>
:::: Piers is the middle child in the Chambers' family and felt he was only treated as such. He felt so much praise until William was born, and from then on he tended to resent him. William tried to show his love for his brother, but was never noticed. So he simply gave up and did not care for him. When their mother was killed in battle, there was even more disgust between the brothers. Piers always thought their mother favored William over him and he was filled with anger. Soon after, Piers left for Limsa Lominsa to get away from the family for a while. He had hoped his excile will cure his anger. In the meantime, Roderick taught William archery and became a prodigy at it. A few years passed and Piers returned home having made minor success and lost it all when he fell for a Miqo'te courtesan. He thought she truly loved him so he gave her a home in the Mist for them to live together. However, she mooched off gil after gil until she had the deed of the house and kicked him out for an Auri girl. He had but no choice to return home.

:::: Upon his return to Hyrstmill, he had noticed that the family had moved out of the hamlet and into a house in the Lavender Beds. When he found where the family was living at, he noticed William practicing archery in the yard with a target. He noticed William hit a bullseye with each shot. Piers did not like how William was better at archery than he and this refueled his anger. For the years to follow, they would pointlessly compete at archery. During one of these competitions, Piers blew a gasket and accused William of cheating everytime. William, unable to keep his cool, was about to make a shot at the target and turned to tell off Piers, but the arrow was released. The arrow flew and pierced Piers in the eye. Piers, writhing in pain screamed out obscenities toward William. William, knowing the conjury spell Cure, could have healed Piers if done immediately, but ran in fear. He came back home that night attempting to cure Piers' pain. The pain was gone, but Piers could never see in his left eye again. To this day, Piers is somewhere in Ul'Dah with his exact whereabouts unknown. William would once in a while recieve death threats from an anonymous sender, yet he could always recognize Piers' penmanship.
: ■Roderick Arrowe, (Half-Brother)
:: [[File:Roderick_Arrowe.jpg|right|250px|Roderick Arrowe]]
::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "Rod has always been a wonderful teacher in archery! We both show each other new tricks from time to time!"</div>
:::: Rod grew up never knowing who his real father was, as his mother was promiscuous when he was conceived.

==F.A.Q.'s==
: ■ Does your character have siblings or family members in their age group? Which one are they closest with?
:: William’s two siblings have a big age gap from William, with Piers being 9 years older and Rod being 17 years older. William is not remotely close to Piers any way. They have had too much bad blood over the years. Rod however remains very close to William, as he first taught him archery as he became a novice. Any other relatives are unknown as his father came from a family of pirates and his mother grew up in the streets of Ul’Dah.
: ■ What is/was your character’s relationship with their mother like?
:: While she was still alive, she would always tell William stories of her adventures with his father each night as a child. William loved his mother dearly such that she is the true reason he kept healing. She taught him the basic heal Cure as a child. There were several instances where he became so flustered, he considered retiring his codex. Yet he remembered his mother would never give up in the heat of battle, so neither should he.
: ■ What is/was your character’s relationship with their father like?
:: His relationship to his father is quite as loving as his relationship to his mother! Before Rod was actually teaching William archery, it was his father who gave him his first bow and arrow set. Even thouch his father was adept lancing, he had knew archery as well. When he presented William his own set, at roughly nine years old, his father demonstrated archery to him by taking three arrows from a quiver, placing each in his bow, and accurately shot the bullseye! William’s face was filled with awe and his love for archery began. His father’s jokes also rubbed off onto William, which eventually became everyone else’s misfortune. Every cracked pun blossomed from the sole purpose to simply make everyone happy, as his father made him.
: ■ Has your character ever witnessed something that fundamentally changed them? If so, does anyone else know?
:: A year into William’s travels, having been months since he became a Warrior of Light, he was assisting the historical scholars of NOAH with emergence of the Crystal Tower. William was mainly a user of white magic and was hesitant to pick up a new skill at the time. He was tasked with preventing the realm becoming a World of Darkness. There was another healer in his group, one whose techniques differed from his own. He had not seen a healer perform abilities like these before. In duty, William took notice that their Warrior was taking too much damage at a point for William to replenish health quick enough. The Warrior got weak enough to the point where William was forced to grant him Benediction. The other healer managed to take over the main healing and was granting him aetheric shields to nullify incoming damage. William was astounded to see such a trick done in battle. After the duty was complete, he asked the other healer in the group where he learned such skills; he told him to find Alka Zolka and ask her the ways of the Nymian Scholar. Henceforth, he dedicated his following days studying the abilities of a Scholar in battle and became an adept Scholar under the great Nymian Scholar Surito Carito.
: ■ On an average day, what can be found in your character’s pockets?
:: Usually pocket lint.
: ■ What does your OC look for in a friend? Do they value friendship a lot?
:: What William finds for in a friend is someone who he is able to put his trust into, someone who he knows respects him as he to them, and someone who can put up with all of his dang shenanigans! Does he value friendship? Are chocobo couriers actually yellow chocobos splathered with tar? Yes! Friendship means everything to William and never wants to sever ties with someone he has grown see as a friend.
: ■ Is there a place they go to in order to escape the world, the stresses of life? What’s their favourite place?
:: Whenever William feels stressed from either a poor dungeon dive or surrounded by plenty of drama, he either resides within the study of his home to review over past tomes or journeys to Tailfeather to surround himself with the chocobos within their natural habitat. Either resolution renders William at peace.
: ■ What are concepts they value? Virtues? What do they look down upon?
:: William values the safety of his friends at all times within a duty. Whether he chooses to be the designated healer or a bard, he refuses to allow his party to fail, or even perish. He also values his friends above all else. As his virtues, William selects loyalty, as in to each other, and family, as in he places his family above everything else, whether it be his blood family or his friends who he looks to as a family. William looks down upon a betrayal of trust. He finds it very hard to mend broken ties, yet can turn the other cheek if necessary.
: ■Do they have a guilty conscience? Why? Did they ever do something they totally regretted?
:: William is as innocent as he’s going to get. He totally does not enact shenanigans in public as the Chocobo. What if he was the Chocobo? He would not regret it one bit. He finds it hilarious to be stared at when he conducts his weekly foray into Issom-Har in his chocobo suit. However the most shenanigans he would openly admit to would be shuffling up Sugis’ books. Yet he really needs to learn to conduct his prank while she isn’t home..
: ■ What are Tropes you associate with your muse?
:: ● Bookworm since he studies old tomes he’s collected from the Gubal Library during some of Sugis’ forays, yet while he does not have a collection of tomes to amount Sugis’, his collection sums to an estimate of sixty.
:: ● a literal Scholar, while that may be preferred healing job in duties, he tends to overly study past civilizations. He has recently taken an interest in the War of the Magi and regularly conducts expeditions to the Yafaem saltmoors for Mhach and the Wanderer’s Palace to communicate with the tonberries of Nym, if he manages to find a sane tonberry.
:: ● Chocobo.
: ■ If given a million dollars, what would your OC do?
:: “Dollars? Is that a currency? The only common currency used across Eorzea is gil, so I’ll assume the question will refer to gil.”
:: William upon given a million gil will immediately donate a quarter to his family for however his father seems fit, a quarter to his free company to fund their move from their current base of a cottage in the Lavender Beds into a mansion of appealing scenary, a quarter to the Adventurer’s Guild for showing how even a Warrior of Light can make his start with them, and the remaining quarter for himself for various luxuries for his private house (totally not decorating it fully in chocobo decor).
==Other O.C.'s Relationships==
===Sugis Kevade===
: ■"Rumor has it that William deals in shady blackmarket business what with multiplw people seeing him go into the Kevade Mansion so often...."
:: While that may appear so, his business at the mansion is strictly personal! He considers the “Void” officers friends! While Suvi is verbally annoyed by his jokes, William notices a smirk followed by disbelief upon his face. On occasion, he may give business advice, as he runs his free company. While he stays out of specific business details, he cares not for whatever “shady” business is conducted, yet refuses to get involved in actual dealings. Although on one instance, he proposed that Suvi hire William’s older brother to do some secretarial work.
: William's memories of Sugis
:: ⭐️ One memory of William remembers is the day they first met in a duty to clear the first hall of Dzemael Darkhold. William on occasion tells Sugis how he both regrets and is grateful for that encounter.
:: ⭐️ No matter what’s happening, whether it be a dangerous raid or utter nonsense, William and Sugis will not hesitate to be sarcastic and sassy to each other.
:: ⭐️ William will not step one foot inside Sugis’ house. He once did and he was frightened by the sheer number of books in her house. Her house would put the Gubal Library out of business.
:: ⭐️ How many puns does it take for William to get on Sugis’s nerves. A skele-ton. She’d punish him, but that in itself would be helping his situation.
: Sugis' memories of William
:: ⭐️ Despite a slight age gap, and the fact that Will is /technically an adult/ Sugis still treats him like a child when it comes to his safety.
:: ⭐️ Sugis quit drinking due to something that happened involving dungeon crawling, Will pressuring a drunken Ishgardian Dragoon to “Do It”, and multiple Gas Bombs.
:: ⭐️ She likes to tease him, lightheartedly, about girls and when he’s gonna start dating to fluster him.
:: ⭐️ If there was a gil for every time she shouted “You’re grounded” to Will… She’d probably be rich(er).
:: ⭐️ Sugis takes the more serious marks for hunts and mercenary related stuff because she doesn’t want to see Will get hurt.
===Riaa Alteir===
: Riaa's memories of William
:: ⭐️ Riaa thinks that William is quite silly, but she appreciates it. Most people are too serious so it’s a nice change. She especially likes the OH JEEZ
:: ⭐️ to the point now where Riaa gleefully joins in on the OH JEEZ as well. She isn’t too bothered if it’s bugging anybody, but she’s definately having fun with it, and figures if SHE’S having fun with it then William must also be having fun too and YAY FUN.
:: ⭐️ She likes his hat. Not any specific one, just all of them. (Riaa really likes the chocobo head though, she thinks it’s hilarious.)
:: ⭐️ (Weed-Lizard) After the pixie stix incident, Mariko is worried about the purity of her candy, and as such double-triple checks that it’s not got anything else in. She’s also a bit worried that William managed to get tweaked out like that. On candy. How even…?
===Darius Kinkaid===
: Darius' memories of William
:: ⭐️ Darius knows about William through his subordinate, Ringabel [Sugis]. He’s heard nothing but good things, but is convinced William lives in a constant state of thinking everyone is going to die in an instant.
:: ⭐️ Darius also believes William was a chocobo in a past life.
:: ⭐️ When they first met, them two didn’t speak much outside of momentary jokes and the like, but they both soon found out they both read stories about a fictional group of heroes. The first book in question? “Red Helm and the Vandals.” There are other books, but William is convinced Darius idolizes this “Red Helm” character. He’s not absolutely wrong.
:: ⭐️ Since finding out about his sister, Darius has attended every small party William and his Free Company has thrown. The scholar in question is the only person who knows Darius disguises himself as an entertainer in a Vanu Vanu outfit.
:: ⭐️ William is constantly forgetting who Darius is, claiming he had seen him before in outlandish roles and places. It is unknown if William just does this to try and get inside Darius’s head or if it’s honestly forgetfulness.
:: ⭐️ Darius and William finally became friends when a mishap occurred while questing. They both had said “Oh Jeez” at the same time, rendering odd looks from both parties.

:'''Logan Holden''', began life simply, living in Moraby Bay, with his father who was a fisherman, his mother who was a Yellowjacket, and his twin sister who looked very little like him. When he was nineteen years old, a voice called him away to adventure, to face a rising threat. Although originally unwilling to leave his happy and peaceful life behind, his sister urged him onwards, and together the pair became adventurers. Logan quickly adopted to the simple style of combat employed by Gladiators, and found security behind the heavy armour and shields they bore, relying on them more than agility to protect both himself and those around him. His eagerness to assist led to being noticed by the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, and he eagerly became a member.

: - Items

=Appearance=
[[File:William_Fedorason_11_06_2016_15_47_59.jpg|right|500px]]
'''Height:''' 5 fulms 9 ilms

'''Weight:''' 130 ponz

'''Complexion: ''' Fair.

'''Hair: ''' Light Brown with White dyed streaks.

'''Eyes: ''' Green.

: William's physical figure is rather average size with some musculature due to his continued training of several war disciplines. He has a scar that goes down his right side of his face, barely missing the eye. He got that scar after a run in with an Imperial Centurion. His other scar the left side of his face came from an Ixali encounter. William tends to sport a green painted stripe across his eyes merely for aesthetic purposes. His father would wear a similar facepaint during his younger days in the Wood Wailers.

=Behavior=
=== '''''Behavior''''' ===
: Logan does his best to always be respectful of others upon meeting them, and generally stays quiet and lets them talk, until he's required to speak. When he is, he tends to answer in the shortest form possible, and often stammers through words until he can get a feel of the person and the conversation.
: When with people he trusts and feels comfortable with, he's far more open and enjoys telling jokes, stories, and listening to others. Even still, you'll often find him on his own, or to one side, as being around a lot of people can make him uncomfortable after long periods of time. He enjoys his quieter time to himself quite a bit.
: Logan is incredibly hard to make angry, though he may feign annoyance and frustration to give what he assumes is the desired reaction from a joke. He always makes sure you know when he's serious, and he hopes he'll get your attention as much as he'd give you his.
: The only time you'll see Logan honestly upset or angry is towards those who don't understand how to take care of others, or those who have betrayed or hurt people. He has little tolerance for the evils of the world, and holds fast to the phrase "do unto others as you would have them do unto you".
: If possible, Logan will prevent the death of any intelligent being, from the Elezen of Isghard to the Kobolds of La Noscea, putting his shield and sword pommel to good use. He does, however, accept that Eorzea is embroiled in violent conflicts, and that peaceful solutions are not always possible, and is willing to kill if necessary.

=== '''''Fears''''' ===
: ■ Ever since the Calamity, Logan's been scared of dragons. After being introduced to the more peaceful side of dragons in Dravania, his fear has lessened, but they can still make him heavily uneasy.
: ■ Being in a leadership position among his friends and even Eorzea, he's terrified of failure and letting down those who hold him to such a high standard.

===Preferences===
: Logan's ideal is someone who's willing to trust him, and open themselves to the same trust. Someone who's willing to work with him to create a solid relationship, knowing they'll have problems, but ready to work through them. He expects to have children and looks forward to raising a family.
: That said, he ended up infatuated with the mysterious Miqo'te, Aiko Slanda, who appeared early in his journey away from home. While she doesn't seem to fit his ideals at all, he nonetheless fell for her, knowing that as much as she needed the stability he was sure he could provide, but that she might hold a key to pushing him forward as a person, and to experience life to its fullest.

=== '''''Weapons''''' ===
William is currently learning the ways of nearly all disciplines and to their advanced job. If he had the choice, he would remain healing, and would rather stay away from the battle's front. Overtime, William learned to embrace the inevitable moment of conflict and thus began apprenticing the many disciplines. Some disciplines interest William enough to even put forth more time into mastering the techniques. The weapons William uses in conflict are as follows:[[File:wf_270_scholar_relic_anabis.jpg|right|500px]]

: ■Shielding magic.
: ■Embrace by the Echo
: ■Aetheric channeling

=== '''''Crafting''''' ===
As he was still making a name for himself before becoming a Warrior of Light, he would partake in the work of alchemy. He has always enjoyed the act of making elixers to assist his allies with enhancing their abilities or replenishing their vigor. As of late, William has temporarily retired the craft of alchemy simply to put other needs forward. In order for him to advance his skills of alchemy, he must learn the ways of other crafts to further his own skills. He is currently working on learning the ways of the goldsmithing, leatherworking, and smithing in order to learn the technique to self-repair his gear that is composed of such craft.

=== '''''Talents''''' ===
: ■Summoning of each egi and faerie together at a time, yet not in combat.
: ■Taught his gaelikitten to retrieve objects on command.
: ■Proficient in archery to be able to shoot three arrows at once at a target.

=Background=
: “My name is William Fedorason.
: For years I have faced a major calamity with only one goal:
: To save my realm. Now others have joined with me in my company.
: To them, I am William, but to the rest of Eorzea,
: I am the Warrior of Light.”

:: -From a letter to Ser Aymeric de Borel in regards to assisting in the Dragonsong War.
=== ''Birth and childhood (0-10)'' ===
: Born William Chambers in the year 1560 of the Sixth Astral Era, he was raised within the hamlet of Hyrstmill of the northern Shroud. His parents are Solmunder Chambers, a well decorated Wood Wailer, and Athilda Chambers, a skilled conjurer for the Twin Adders. He has two older brothers, Piers Chambers, who's a moderate archer and only 9 years older, and Roderick Arrowe, his half-brother who's was a skilled archer among the Gods' Bow and now a secretary for the free company of <<VOID>>. At young age, archery interested him a great deal. His father would craft him his own bow and dulled arrows to play with. Though he was no good, he still enjoyed it no matter what. Whenever William would injure himself when he plays outside, his mother always use her skills of conjury to cure his wounds. Over time, William learned to cure on his own, but not much more conjury than that.
=== ''Adolescent Years'' ===
: As William grew, he met his now best friends in Old Gridania. At the age of eleven, he was tasked to travel to the city to pick up some seeds and tools from the Botanist's Guild to replenish his family's farm. When the guildmaster unfortunately stated there were no such seeds available for pickup, there was an Elezen kid who was also purchasing seeds who had came before him. He had noticed the despair in William's face and gave him a portion of his seeds. He had introduced himself as Brandon. Days passed and they would meet up to hang out, and William was introduced to Brandon's friends: Tyler Ultimathule, an Elezen, and Aries Xela, a Miqo'te who was typically called Alex. The four of them would become inseparable over time.
: William had minimal previous magical encounters. He once came across an altercation between the Sharlayan Circle of Knowing and a dark robed Mage. Apparently there was a surge of aetheric energy coming from near the Ehcatl 9 tribe, the docile Ixali group. William, only twelve at the time, was out gathering some firewood when the Mage confronted him. Frightened, William was cornered into a cavern. He noticed the Mage preparing to cast some magical attack, but was cut short when a Miqote conjurer, Highlander pugilist, and a Lalafellan thaumaturge confronted him. The Mage directed his attacks to hit the pugilist as some magic deflected off her and hit William instead. The conjurer came to his aid and cured his wounds. She remained by his side as the thaumaturge managed to harm the Mage. The Mage soon dissipated away. The three heroes of the hour introduced themselves as Y'shtola, Yda, and Papalymo respectively. They mentioned to William to contact them whenever there is a similar issue in the future. They dedicated there life to protecting the innocent from the forces of darkness saving the realm from calamity. From that day forward, William decided to become an adventurer and aspired to become like them, for he could discern true heroism within them.
====The Calamity Strikes====
: With word of the "Meteor Project" coming to the light of the Eorzean Alliance, the grand companies and allied free companies took up arms to defend the Carteneau Flats from the Garlean menace. William's parents both took up arms to fight with the Twin Adders. At home, William was sitting outside his cottage with his brothers watching the slow descent of the false moon. Though he and Piers never truly saw eye to eye, this may be the only time when they are united. His friends had shown up to wait out the world’s immenent demise. William felt powerless. He wanted to do something about the inevitable calamity that would affect his quaint hamlet. He saw the enormous cracks forming upon Dalamud and something spoke to him inside his head.
:: “Save them later. Be…a…hero…”
: The voice felt as if someone was echoing right behind him, yet when he turned around to check, there was only a dissipating mist. He had asked to his friends around if they heard anything nearby, but they denied. William looked back up to the falling moon as it suddenly bursts as the Dreadwyrm breaks free. William and his friends stand up in shock as Bahamut ravages the land. The first thought to pop in William’s head was the Circle of Knowing that he had met a month prior. He had hoped they would save the realm from total annihilation. William noticed the people around him either crying or standing in complete shock. He notice one man pick up his young daughter and held her tight saying “Everything will be alright sometime soon.” He could see a hunk of the false moon fall near the southern border of the North Shroud. Suddenly a flash of white bright light covers the realm. Soon after, the Dreadwyrm disappears without a trace. Eorzea, a realm reborn out of a tragic calamity, needs a hero.

====A Family in Shambles====
: It has been five hours since the disappearance of Bahamut and William and his brothers are waiting anxiously for their parents to return. It was about the middle of the night when Roderick noticed a tired man carrying a woman in his arms. He trudged toward the cottage and as the light shined on his face, it was their father with tears flooding from his eyes. Roderick yelled for Piers and William to wake up. William came immediately outside and saw his father carrying his mother in his arms. William promptly yelled for his mother to wake up. With tears trailing from his eyes, he attempted to cast Cure on her, but to no avail. He attempted to execute a spell he has been learning, Raise. For a slight moment, he had heard the voice from before, but was indistinguishable. By the grace of the Twelve, his mother's eyes opened. She was awake, but not for long. She could speak, but she was very weak. Solmunder was speechless to witness such a temporary miracle. Athilda knew she would be passing soon, so she gave each a hug and a kiss. She told them all to be well and live happy whilst urging to remain together. Her last breath passed as she took hold on to William's hand before losing her grip on her mortal coil.
: Weeks passed after the passing of Athilda and Piers took excile from his Gridanian home to move to Limsa Lominsa for a new life. With two family members being gone from the home, only Solmunder, Roderick, and William remained. Solmunder tried to remain cheerful in the times of grief, yet he is always reminded of the dreadful day of the Calamity. Rod took notice of his father's decline in strength and mobility over time. He believed it to be caused by the grief and the PTSD from the moment Athilda's life started slipping. Rod thought to move the family to start over. Within two months, the family moved out of Hyrstmill and into the Lavender Beds. Once settled in, Rod taught William archery in the yard of their new home. Needless to say, William's skills advanced fairly over time.
: Years passed and Piers returned home from his travels in Vylbrand. In that time, Piers worked part time as a bow-for-hire and fell for a Miqo'te girl. Over time, they got a house, yet she would mooch gil off of Piers and eventually kicked Piers out of "their" house for an Auri girl. Defeated, he returned home. He had found the location of the new family home and noticed William practicing archery. Piers took pride in his skills of archery and believed he should be the best archer in the family, although he does not care whether Rod was good or not for some reason. As he came around the corner, he noticed William hit a bullseye thrice in a row. Piers' resent for William was reignited. For months they would have petty competitions too see who was the better archer.
: When William was about 15, he and Piers had one of their usual archery competitions. After each round, William was always closer to the center than Piers. At a moment when William was ready to shoot his next arrow at the target, Piers yelled out that he cheats each time. As he was ranting aloud, William shrugged it off until he could no longer. Piers then accused William that he was never really loved by his mother, such that it was all out of pity. William could not hold back much longer and as he released the arrow from the bow, he immediately turned to Piers to tell him off, yet the arrow was still in the bowstring. The arrow managed to hit the bullseye, but not on the target and instead in Piers' left eye. He fell to the ground screaming and writhing in pain. Piers yelled obscenities and slurs toward William. William considered taking out his wand to cure Piers, but he fled the yard instead. He returned about 75 minutes later to the house to see Piers passed out in the living room with the arrow still in the eye. William attempted to cure the eye. As he casted the spell, he slowly remove the arrow from Piers' eye. He noticed Piers' body relax some and soon woke up. Piers woke up wondering why he felt no pain rubbing his eyes. He opened his eyes and rubbed his left eye some more. He could see out his right but not in his left. Starting to panic, he ran to a mirror nearby , nearly tripping on a stool. He looked in the mirror to see his left eye foggy. Piers was blind in his left eye. Piers screamed out in horror and blamed William that he could never practice archery again. In the morning, Piers was gone and was not heard from again, officially.

=== ''Adulthood'' ===
====The Beginnings of an Adventurer====
: At the age of sixteen, after all the years following tragedy after tragedy, William finally prepared to set off for Gridania. On the day before he sets off for an adventurer's life, he prepared his bow, one made by his father. He had wondered whether or not fame would come for him quickly as his family name is of Chambers. He does not want to easily be significant as the "Son of Solmunder Chambers". He went to his father for advice upon the matter and contemplated whether going by another name should suffice. Solmunder sat him down next to him and took his old fedora off and plopped onto William's head. He told him how he should do what he feels is right and never look back. He agreed wholeheartedly with William considering to go by another name. He even told him a little story..
:: "Aye Will, ye listen close. Once upon eh time there was eh young Lominsan lad who lived amongst eh family of ruthless 'n coldhearted killehs 'n theives. 'E was forced to join th' crew iffen 'e wants some grub and eh night's rest. 'Pon the day of 'is eighteenth nameday, 'e mustered 'is courage t' leave 'is godsforsaken home, iffen it could be called eh home. 'E took to th' ports of Limsa Lominsa 'n 'e found eh small cargo ship to th' mainland 'o Aldenard. 'E arrived en Vesper Bay where 'e could 'ear some word of eh trip to th' Shroud. Now 'e was quite skilled en the disciplines of archery 'n spearin', so Gridania was quite th' place for harnessin' 'is skills. 'E took the first journey to th' Shroud and landed en th' Adventurer's Guild. They at th' time were-eh pryin' for th' lad's name. 'E could not take aftah 'is true name, for 'e could be eithah arrested by th' Serpents or found by 'is twisted family! 'Is 'eart was racin' so 'e scrubbed off o' 'is last name for 'is new name. Chambers. See lad, for 'e was I. When I was at 'bout ye' age for even I was at ye' place. I needed t' make eh name for me-self. 'N that I did, lad. I rose the to th' tops o' ranks of th' Wailers n' I even met ye motheh. She'd be quite proud of ye decision. Take 'tis hat wit' ye wherever ye go. 'Tis nice for th' formal nights 'n even was what ye motheh noticed first of me!"
: William had not known of his father's history before the Wailers before now. He took the fancy hat and packed it in his suitcase with his other clothes. He grabbed his old wand and placed it near his bow when his brother came to see him. He had been practicing archery everyday to prepare for this moment. Rod wished him luck for his journeys ahead and urged him to never give up when things seems hard.

: ■✖Athilda Chambers née Arrowe, (Mother)
:: [[File:Athilda_Chambers.jpg|right|250px|Athilda Chambers]]
::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "My mother is my true inspiration to why I remain healing. It's what she would have wanted.."</div>
:::: Athilda was born in the streets of Ul'Dah, not knowing her true family. She would be a thief in order to get a meal, occasionaly stealing from the marketplace. One day, the grocer took notice of her actions and let the game continue for a while until she confronted her. Athilda, being scared of being arrested, attempted to run, yet was caught immediately. The grocer caught her by the Weavers' Guild and inquired about her life. She told her that she had no home, no family, and no food. Without a second thought, the grocer took her in and raised her. The grocer's name was Petra Arrowe. As she grew older, Athilda, moved to the Shroud to make a name for herself. She thanked her foster mother for everything she's done for her and stayed in touch.
::::Before her marriage to William's father, she gave birth to Roderick, William's oldest brother, yet she was rather promiscuous during her twenties, so Roderick's biological father is unknown but assumed to be a Gods' Quiver archer. Having changed her ways, she found Solmunder eight years later and fell in love and married. They had their first son together Piers and then nine years later their second son William. Athilda lived her life as conjurer for the Twin Adders. Both she and Solmunder were fighting with the Grand Companies at Cartenau against the Garlean menace before the Calamity struck. Solmunder fought valiantly and took many Garlean lives with Athilda alongside him. As they were taking out the enemy, Athilda was caught blindsided and was slew by an Imperial Laquearius. Solmunder was filled with rage and pierced the Laquearius through its heart. Solmunder survived the battle and returned home to his children after the Calamity struck and informed them of the tragic news. William took it hardest of all. Only being twelve at the time of this calamity, he was really close to his mother and she would show him conjury tricks. Whenever William heals for his party, he always thinks of his mother guiding him through to victory..

: ■Solmunder Chambers, (Father)
:: [[File:Solmunder_Chambers.jpg|right|250px|Solmunder Chambers]]
::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "My father would never let any bad situation ruin his sense of humor!"</div>
:::: Solmunder Chambers came from a terrible household in Limsa Lominsa. He was born to a family of vile pirates known as the Chamberlain Crew. He was forced to partake in villainous crimes if he was to get a meal and bed each day. When he became eighteen years of age, he mustered the courage to hitch a ship to Aldenard without saying one word to his family. He arrived in Vesper Bay and changed his name to Chambers, for slight differentiation from his family. He trekked to the Shroud in hopes to learn either archery or lancing; upon his arrival to Gridania, he learned the latter. He became skilled quickly enough for one of the Wood Wailers to take notice and suggest him to be a private among them. For many years he was an esteemed Wood Wailer and caught the eye of a fan, Athilda. They met at the Carline Canopy when Solmunder was off duty and Athilda noticed him. She approached him commending him for his valor in protecting the Shroud and immediately hit it off. They would always make jokes with each other with Solmunder always cracking horrible puns, yet Athilda laughed anyways. Athilda's nickname for Solmunder was "Sully" and although he wasn't too fond of it, it did not bother him either way; His nickname for her was Thillie and she liked it. They worked together roaming the Shroud, vanquishing any threat to Gridania with Athilda supporting Sully as he fought head-on.

:::: After the passing of his wife, Solmunder tried to keep his joy alive by providing for their children. Sully was only in his early forties yet became weak at holding his lance for long. Roderick, who was proficient at archery, joined the Gods' Bow to provide coin for the family. Sully, being grateful for Rod's generosity, officially retired his lance and stayed at home to tend to the family crops. William loved his father dearly and would always assist him when Sully is unable to move around. William talked to his father about leaving to provide even more for his family. William even mentioned desiring to change his surname to became notable for his own deeds, not his father's. Solmunder was quite the opposite of being disappointed and gave William a big hug and told him he was proud of that decision and mentioned his own story of coming to Aldenard. To this day, William provides 45 percent of his earnings to his family and visits home every now and then. His father is his inspiration for whenever William cracks a silly pun and would think of him every time he does.
: ■♦Piers Chambers, (Brother)
:: [[File:Piers_Chambers.jpg|right|250px|Piers Chambers]]
::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "Piers and I never really saw eye to eye. He always tried to rival me in archery, even when his accuracy was low.."</div>
:::: Piers is the middle child in the Chambers' family and felt he was only treated as such. He felt so much praise until William was born, and from then on he tended to resent him. William tried to show his love for his brother, but was never noticed. So he simply gave up and did not care for him. When their mother was killed in battle, there was even more disgust between the brothers. Piers always thought their mother favored William over him and he was filled with anger. Soon after, Piers left for Limsa Lominsa to get away from the family for a while. He had hoped his excile will cure his anger. In the meantime, Roderick taught William archery and became a prodigy at it. A few years passed and Piers returned home having made minor success and lost it all when he fell for a Miqo'te courtesan. He thought she truly loved him so he gave her a home in the Mist for them to live together. However, she mooched off gil after gil until she had the deed of the house and kicked him out for an Auri girl. He had but no choice to return home.

:::: Upon his return to Hyrstmill, he had noticed that the family had moved out of the hamlet and into a house in the Lavender Beds. When he found where the family was living at, he noticed William practicing archery in the yard with a target. He noticed William hit a bullseye with each shot. Piers did not like how William was better at archery than he and this refueled his anger. For the years to follow, they would pointlessly compete at archery. During one of these competitions, Piers blew a gasket and accused William of cheating everytime. William, unable to keep his cool, was about to make a shot at the target and turned to tell off Piers, but the arrow was released. The arrow flew and pierced Piers in the eye. Piers, writhing in pain screamed out obscenities toward William. William, knowing the conjury spell Cure, could have healed Piers if done immediately, but ran in fear. He came back home that night attempting to cure Piers' pain. The pain was gone, but Piers could never see in his left eye again. To this day, Piers is somewhere in Ul'Dah with his exact whereabouts unknown. William would once in a while recieve death threats from an anonymous sender, yet he could always recognize Piers' penmanship.

=Prompts=
==F.A.Q.'s==
: ■ Does your character have siblings or family members in their age group? Which one are they closest with?
:: William’s two siblings have a big age gap from William, with Piers being 9 years older and Rod being 17 years older. William is not remotely close to Piers any way. They have had too much bad blood over the years. Rod however remains very close to William, as he first taught him archery as he became a novice. Any other relatives are unknown as his father came from a family of pirates and his mother grew up in the streets of Ul’Dah.
: ■ What is/was your character’s relationship with their mother like?
:: While she was still alive, she would always tell William stories of her adventures with his father each night as a child. William loved his mother dearly such that she is the true reason he kept healing. She taught him the basic heal Cure as a child. There were several instances where he became so flustered, he considered retiring his codex. Yet he remembered his mother would never give up in the heat of battle, so neither should he.
: ■ What is/was your character’s relationship with their father like?
:: His relationship to his father is quite as loving as his relationship to his mother! Before Rod was actually teaching William archery, it was his father who gave him his first bow and arrow set. Even thouch his father was adept lancing, he had knew archery as well. When he presented William his own set, at roughly nine years old, his father demonstrated archery to him by taking three arrows from a quiver, placing each in his bow, and accurately shot the bullseye! William’s face was filled with awe and his love for archery began. His father’s jokes also rubbed off onto William, which eventually became everyone else’s misfortune. Every cracked pun blossomed from the sole purpose to simply make everyone happy, as his father made him.
: ■ Has your character ever witnessed something that fundamentally changed them? If so, does anyone else know?
:: A year into William’s travels, having been months since he became a Warrior of Light, he was assisting the historical scholars of NOAH with emergence of the Crystal Tower. William was mainly a user of white magic and was hesitant to pick up a new skill at the time. He was tasked with preventing the realm becoming a World of Darkness. There was another healer in his group, one whose techniques differed from his own. He had not seen a healer perform abilities like these before. In duty, William took notice that their Warrior was taking too much damage at a point for William to replenish health quick enough. The Warrior got weak enough to the point where William was forced to grant him Benediction. The other healer managed to take over the main healing and was granting him aetheric shields to nullify incoming damage. William was astounded to see such a trick done in battle. After the duty was complete, he asked the other healer in the group where he learned such skills; he told him to find Alka Zolka and ask her the ways of the Nymian Scholar. Henceforth, he dedicated his following days studying the abilities of a Scholar in battle and became an adept Scholar under the great Nymian Scholar Surito Carito.
: ■ On an average day, what can be found in your character’s pockets?
:: Usually pocket lint.
: ■ What does your OC look for in a friend? Do they value friendship a lot?
:: What William finds for in a friend is someone who he is able to put his trust into, someone who he knows respects him as he to them, and someone who can put up with all of his dang shenanigans! Does he value friendship? Are chocobo couriers actually yellow chocobos splathered with tar? Yes! Friendship means everything to William and never wants to sever ties with someone he has grown see as a friend.
: ■ Is there a place they go to in order to escape the world, the stresses of life? What’s their favourite place?
:: Whenever William feels stressed from either a poor dungeon dive or surrounded by plenty of drama, he either resides within the study of his home to review over past tomes or journeys to Tailfeather to surround himself with the chocobos within their natural habitat. Either resolution renders William at peace.
: ■ What are concepts they value? Virtues? What do they look down upon?
:: William values the safety of his friends at all times within a duty. Whether he chooses to be the designated healer or a bard, he refuses to allow his party to fail, or even perish. He also values his friends above all else. As his virtues, William selects loyalty, as in to each other, and family, as in he places his family above everything else, whether it be his blood family or his friends who he looks to as a family. William looks down upon a betrayal of trust. He finds it very hard to mend broken ties, yet can turn the other cheek if necessary.
: ■Do they have a guilty conscience? Why? Did they ever do something they totally regretted?
:: William is as innocent as he’s going to get. He totally does not enact shenanigans in public as the Chocobo. What if he was the Chocobo? He would not regret it one bit. He finds it hilarious to be stared at when he conducts his weekly foray into Issom-Har in his chocobo suit. However the most shenanigans he would openly admit to would be shuffling up Sugis’ books. Yet he really needs to learn to conduct his prank while she isn’t home..
: ■ What are Tropes you associate with your muse?
:: ● Bookworm since he studies old tomes he’s collected from the Gubal Library during some of Sugis’ forays, yet while he does not have a collection of tomes to amount Sugis’, his collection sums to an estimate of sixty.
:: ● a literal Scholar, while that may be preferred healing job in duties, he tends to overly study past civilizations. He has recently taken an interest in the War of the Magi and regularly conducts expeditions to the Yafaem saltmoors for Mhach and the Wanderer’s Palace to communicate with the tonberries of Nym, if he manages to find a sane tonberry.
:: ● Chocobo.
: ■ If given a million dollars, what would your OC do?
:: “Dollars? Is that a currency? The only common currency used across Eorzea is gil, so I’ll assume the question will refer to gil.”
:: William upon given a million gil will immediately donate a quarter to his family for however his father seems fit, a quarter to his free company to fund their move from their current base of a cottage in the Lavender Beds into a mansion of appealing scenary, a quarter to the Adventurer’s Guild for showing how even a Warrior of Light can make his start with them, and the remaining quarter for himself for various luxuries for his private house (totally not decorating it fully in chocobo decor).
==Other O.C.'s Relationships==
===Sugis Kevade===
: ■"Rumor has it that William deals in shady blackmarket business what with multiplw people seeing him go into the Kevade Mansion so often...."
:: While that may appear so, his business at the mansion is strictly personal! He considers the “Void” officers friends! While Suvi is verbally annoyed by his jokes, William notices a smirk followed by disbelief upon his face. On occasion, he may give business advice, as he runs his free company. While he stays out of specific business details, he cares not for whatever “shady” business is conducted, yet refuses to get involved in actual dealings. Although on one instance, he proposed that Suvi hire William’s older brother to do some secretarial work.
: William's memories of Sugis
:: ⭐️ One memory of William remembers is the day they first met in a duty to clear the first hall of Dzemael Darkhold. William on occasion tells Sugis how he both regrets and is grateful for that encounter.
:: ⭐️ No matter what’s happening, whether it be a dangerous raid or utter nonsense, William and Sugis will not hesitate to be sarcastic and sassy to each other.
:: ⭐️ William will not step one foot inside Sugis’ house. He once did and he was frightened by the sheer number of books in her house. Her house would put the Gubal Library out of business.
:: ⭐️ How many puns does it take for William to get on Sugis’s nerves. A skele-ton. She’d punish him, but that in itself would be helping his situation.
: Sugis' memories of William
:: ⭐️ Despite a slight age gap, and the fact that Will is /technically an adult/ Sugis still treats him like a child when it comes to his safety.
:: ⭐️ Sugis quit drinking due to something that happened involving dungeon crawling, Will pressuring a drunken Ishgardian Dragoon to “Do It”, and multiple Gas Bombs.
:: ⭐️ She likes to tease him, lightheartedly, about girls and when he’s gonna start dating to fluster him.
:: ⭐️ If there was a gil for every time she shouted “You’re grounded” to Will… She’d probably be rich(er).
:: ⭐️ Sugis takes the more serious marks for hunts and mercenary related stuff because she doesn’t want to see Will get hurt.
===Riaa Alteir===
: Riaa's memories of William
:: ⭐️ Riaa thinks that William is quite silly, but she appreciates it. Most people are too serious so it’s a nice change. She especially likes the OH JEEZ
:: ⭐️ to the point now where Riaa gleefully joins in on the OH JEEZ as well. She isn’t too bothered if it’s bugging anybody, but she’s definately having fun with it, and figures if SHE’S having fun with it then William must also be having fun too and YAY FUN.
:: ⭐️ She likes his hat. Not any specific one, just all of them. (Riaa really likes the chocobo head though, she thinks it’s hilarious.)
:: ⭐️ (Weed-Lizard) After the pixie stix incident, Mariko is worried about the purity of her candy, and as such double-triple checks that it’s not got anything else in. She’s also a bit worried that William managed to get tweaked out like that. On candy. How even…?
===Darius Kinkaid===
: Darius' memories of William
:: ⭐️ Darius knows about William through his subordinate, Ringabel [Sugis]. He’s heard nothing but good things, but is convinced William lives in a constant state of thinking everyone is going to die in an instant.
:: ⭐️ Darius also believes William was a chocobo in a past life.
:: ⭐️ When they first met, them two didn’t speak much outside of momentary jokes and the like, but they both soon found out they both read stories about a fictional group of heroes. The first book in question? “Red Helm and the Vandals.” There are other books, but William is convinced Darius idolizes this “Red Helm” character. He’s not absolutely wrong.
:: ⭐️ Since finding out about his sister, Darius has attended every small party William and his Free Company has thrown. The scholar in question is the only person who knows Darius disguises himself as an entertainer in a Vanu Vanu outfit.
:: ⭐️ William is constantly forgetting who Darius is, claiming he had seen him before in outlandish roles and places. It is unknown if William just does this to try and get inside Darius’s head or if it’s honestly forgetfulness.
:: ⭐️ Darius and William finally became friends when a mishap occurred while questing. They both had said “Oh Jeez” at the same time, rendering odd looks from both parties.

:'''Logan Holden''', began life simply, living in Moraby Bay, with his father who was a fisherman, his mother who was a Yellowjacket, and his twin sister who looked very little like him. When he was nineteen years old, a voice called him away to adventure, to face a rising threat. Although originally unwilling to leave his happy and peaceful life behind, his sister urged him onwards, and together the pair became adventurers. Logan quickly adopted to the simple style of combat employed by Gladiators, and found security behind the heavy armour and shields they bore, relying on them more than agility to protect both himself and those around him. His eagerness to assist led to being noticed by the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, and he eagerly became a member.



==Free Company: Awoken Wanderers==

==Logan's Typical Inventory==
'''Last updated:''' N/A
: - Items

=Appearance=
[[File:William_Fedorason_11_06_2016_15_47_59.jpg|right|500px]]
'''Height:''' 5 fulms 9 ilms

'''Weight:''' 130 ponz

'''Complexion: ''' Fair.

'''Hair: ''' Light Brown with White dyed streaks.

'''Eyes: ''' Green.

: William's physical figure is rather average size with some musculature due to his continued training of several war disciplines. He has a scar that goes down his right side of his face, barely missing the eye. He got that scar after a run in with an Imperial Centurion. His other scar the left side of his face came from an Ixali encounter. William tends to sport a green painted stripe across his eyes merely for aesthetic purposes. His father would wear a similar facepaint during his younger days in the Wood Wailers.

=Behavior=
=== '''''Behavior''''' ===
: Logan does his best to always be respectful of others upon meeting them, and generally stays quiet and lets them talk, until he's required to speak. When he is, he tends to answer in the shortest form possible, and often stammers through words until he can get a feel of the person and the conversation.
: When with people he trusts and feels comfortable with, he's far more open and enjoys telling jokes, stories, and listening to others. Even still, you'll often find him on his own, or to one side, as being around a lot of people can make him uncomfortable after long periods of time. He enjoys his quieter time to himself quite a bit.
: Logan is incredibly hard to make angry, though he may feign annoyance and frustration to give what he assumes is the desired reaction from a joke. He always makes sure you know when he's serious, and he hopes he'll get your attention as much as he'd give you his.
: The only time you'll see Logan honestly upset or angry is towards those who don't understand how to take care of others, or those who have betrayed or hurt people. He has little tolerance for the evils of the world, and holds fast to the phrase "do unto others as you would have them do unto you".
: If possible, Logan will prevent the death of any intelligent being, from the Elezen of Isghard to the Kobolds of La Noscea, putting his shield and sword pommel to good use. He does, however, accept that Eorzea is embroiled in violent conflicts, and that peaceful solutions are not always possible, and is willing to kill if necessary.

=== '''''Fears''''' ===
: ■ Ever since the Calamity, Logan's been scared of dragons. After being introduced to the more peaceful side of dragons in Dravania, his fear has lessened, but they can still make him heavily uneasy.
: ■ Being in a leadership position among his friends and even Eorzea, he's terrified of failure and letting down those who hold him to such a high standard.

===Preferences===
: Logan's ideal is someone who's willing to trust him, and open themselves to the same trust. Someone who's willing to work with him to create a solid relationship, knowing they'll have problems, but ready to work through them. He expects to have children and looks forward to raising a family.
: That said, he ended up infatuated with the mysterious Miqo'te, Aiko Slanda, who appeared early in his journey away from home. While she doesn't seem to fit his ideals at all, he nonetheless fell for her, knowing that as much as she needed the stability he was sure he could provide, but that she might hold a key to pushing him forward as a person, and to experience life to its fullest.

=== '''''Hobbies''''' ===
: ■ Alchemy.
: ■ Assisting the Adventurer's Guild.
: ■ Reading in his study.
: ■ Cracking horrible puns.

=== '''''Likes''''' ===
: ■Philanthropy
: ■Harmless pranks
: ■Triple Triad
: ■The setting or rising Sun
: ■Puns and jokes
: ■Chocobos

=== '''''Dislikes''''' ===
: ■Failure of self
: ■Betrayal
: ■Drama among friends
: ■Hubris
: ■Ignorance
: ■Alcohol

=== '''''Favorites''''' ===
: ■ '''Favorite Color:''' Ochu Green
: ■ '''Favorite Food:''' Rolanberry Cheesecake
: ■ '''Favorite Drink:''' Mulled Tea
: ■ '''Favorite Scent:''' Petrichor
: ■ '''Favorite Places:''' Camp Overlook, Outer La Noscea; Tailfeather, Dravanian Forelands

===Abilities/Skills===
An optional blurb about how your character looks and behaves during combat.

=== '''''Weapons''''' ===
William is currently learning the ways of nearly all disciplines and to their advanced job. If he had the choice, he would remain healing, and would rather stay away from the battle's front. Overtime, William learned to embrace the inevitable moment of conflict and thus began apprenticing the many disciplines. Some disciplines interest William enough to even put forth more time into mastering the techniques. The weapons William uses in conflict are as follows:[[File:wf_270_scholar_relic_anabis.jpg|right|500px]]

=== '''''Magic''''' ===
Backstory on Magical Abilities
: ■Summoning of egis and faeries.
: ■Regenerative magic.
: ■Shielding magic.
: ■Embrace by the Echo
: ■Aetheric channeling

=== '''''Crafting''''' ===
As he was still making a name for himself before becoming a Warrior of Light, he would partake in the work of alchemy. He has always enjoyed the act of making elixers to assist his allies with enhancing their abilities or replenishing their vigor. As of late, William has temporarily retired the craft of alchemy simply to put other needs forward. In order for him to advance his skills of alchemy, he must learn the ways of other crafts to further his own skills. He is currently working on learning the ways of the goldsmithing, leatherworking, and smithing in order to learn the technique to self-repair his gear that is composed of such craft.

=== '''''Talents''''' ===
: ■Summoning of each egi and faerie together at a time, yet not in combat.
: ■Taught his gaelikitten to retrieve objects on command.
: ■Proficient in archery to be able to shoot three arrows at once at a target.

=Background=
: “My name is William Fedorason.
: For years I have faced a major calamity with only one goal:
: To save my realm. Now others have joined with me in my company.
: To them, I am William, but to the rest of Eorzea,
: I am the Warrior of Light.”

:: -From a letter to Ser Aymeric de Borel in regards to assisting in the Dragonsong War.
=== ''Birth and childhood (0-10)'' ===
: Born William Chambers in the year 1560 of the Sixth Astral Era, he was raised within the hamlet of Hyrstmill of the northern Shroud. His parents are Solmunder Chambers, a well decorated Wood Wailer, and Athilda Chambers, a skilled conjurer for the Twin Adders. He has two older brothers, Piers Chambers, who's a moderate archer and only 9 years older, and Roderick Arrowe, his half-brother who's was a skilled archer among the Gods' Bow and now a secretary for the free company of <<VOID>>. At young age, archery interested him a great deal. His father would craft him his own bow and dulled arrows to play with. Though he was no good, he still enjoyed it no matter what. Whenever William would injure himself when he plays outside, his mother always use her skills of conjury to cure his wounds. Over time, William learned to cure on his own, but not much more conjury than that.
=== ''Adolescent Years'' ===
: As William grew, he met his now best friends in Old Gridania. At the age of eleven, he was tasked to travel to the city to pick up some seeds and tools from the Botanist's Guild to replenish his family's farm. When the guildmaster unfortunately stated there were no such seeds available for pickup, there was an Elezen kid who was also purchasing seeds who had came before him. He had noticed the despair in William's face and gave him a portion of his seeds. He had introduced himself as Brandon. Days passed and they would meet up to hang out, and William was introduced to Brandon's friends: Tyler Ultimathule, an Elezen, and Aries Xela, a Miqo'te who was typically called Alex. The four of them would become inseparable over time.
: William had minimal previous magical encounters. He once came across an altercation between the Sharlayan Circle of Knowing and a dark robed Mage. Apparently there was a surge of aetheric energy coming from near the Ehcatl 9 tribe, the docile Ixali group. William, only twelve at the time, was out gathering some firewood when the Mage confronted him. Frightened, William was cornered into a cavern. He noticed the Mage preparing to cast some magical attack, but was cut short when a Miqote conjurer, Highlander pugilist, and a Lalafellan thaumaturge confronted him. The Mage directed his attacks to hit the pugilist as some magic deflected off her and hit William instead. The conjurer came to his aid and cured his wounds. She remained by his side as the thaumaturge managed to harm the Mage. The Mage soon dissipated away. The three heroes of the hour introduced themselves as Y'shtola, Yda, and Papalymo respectively. They mentioned to William to contact them whenever there is a similar issue in the future. They dedicated there life to protecting the innocent from the forces of darkness saving the realm from calamity. From that day forward, William decided to become an adventurer and aspired to become like them, for he could discern true heroism within them.
====The Calamity Strikes====
: With word of the "Meteor Project" coming to the light of the Eorzean Alliance, the grand companies and allied free companies took up arms to defend the Carteneau Flats from the Garlean menace. William's parents both took up arms to fight with the Twin Adders. At home, William was sitting outside his cottage with his brothers watching the slow descent of the false moon. Though he and Piers never truly saw eye to eye, this may be the only time when they are united. His friends had shown up to wait out the world’s immenent demise. William felt powerless. He wanted to do something about the inevitable calamity that would affect his quaint hamlet. He saw the enormous cracks forming upon Dalamud and something spoke to him inside his head.
:: “Save them later. Be…a…hero…”
: The voice felt as if someone was echoing right behind him, yet when he turned around to check, there was only a dissipating mist. He had asked to his friends around if they heard anything nearby, but they denied. William looked back up to the falling moon as it suddenly bursts as the Dreadwyrm breaks free. William and his friends stand up in shock as Bahamut ravages the land. The first thought to pop in William’s head was the Circle of Knowing that he had met a month prior. He had hoped they would save the realm from total annihilation. William noticed the people around him either crying or standing in complete shock. He notice one man pick up his young daughter and held her tight saying “Everything will be alright sometime soon.” He could see a hunk of the false moon fall near the southern border of the North Shroud. Suddenly a flash of white bright light covers the realm. Soon after, the Dreadwyrm disappears without a trace. Eorzea, a realm reborn out of a tragic calamity, needs a hero.

====A Family in Shambles====
: It has been five hours since the disappearance of Bahamut and William and his brothers are waiting anxiously for their parents to return. It was about the middle of the night when Roderick noticed a tired man carrying a woman in his arms. He trudged toward the cottage and as the light shined on his face, it was their father with tears flooding from his eyes. Roderick yelled for Piers and William to wake up. William came immediately outside and saw his father carrying his mother in his arms. William promptly yelled for his mother to wake up. With tears trailing from his eyes, he attempted to cast Cure on her, but to no avail. He attempted to execute a spell he has been learning, Raise. For a slight moment, he had heard the voice from before, but was indistinguishable. By the grace of the Twelve, his mother's eyes opened. She was awake, but not for long. She could speak, but she was very weak. Solmunder was speechless to witness such a temporary miracle. Athilda knew she would be passing soon, so she gave each a hug and a kiss. She told them all to be well and live happy whilst urging to remain together. Her last breath passed as she took hold on to William's hand before losing her grip on her mortal coil.
: Weeks passed after the passing of Athilda and Piers took excile from his Gridanian home to move to Limsa Lominsa for a new life. With two family members being gone from the home, only Solmunder, Roderick, and William remained. Solmunder tried to remain cheerful in the times of grief, yet he is always reminded of the dreadful day of the Calamity. Rod took notice of his father's decline in strength and mobility over time. He believed it to be caused by the grief and the PTSD from the moment Athilda's life started slipping. Rod thought to move the family to start over. Within two months, the family moved out of Hyrstmill and into the Lavender Beds. Once settled in, Rod taught William archery in the yard of their new home. Needless to say, William's skills advanced fairly over time.
: Years passed and Piers returned home from his travels in Vylbrand. In that time, Piers worked part time as a bow-for-hire and fell for a Miqo'te girl. Over time, they got a house, yet she would mooch gil off of Piers and eventually kicked Piers out of "their" house for an Auri girl. Defeated, he returned home. He had found the location of the new family home and noticed William practicing archery. Piers took pride in his skills of archery and believed he should be the best archer in the family, although he does not care whether Rod was good or not for some reason. As he came around the corner, he noticed William hit a bullseye thrice in a row. Piers' resent for William was reignited. For months they would have petty competitions too see who was the better archer.
: When William was about 15, he and Piers had one of their usual archery competitions. After each round, William was always closer to the center than Piers. At a moment when William was ready to shoot his next arrow at the target, Piers yelled out that he cheats each time. As he was ranting aloud, William shrugged it off until he could no longer. Piers then accused William that he was never really loved by his mother, such that it was all out of pity. William could not hold back much longer and as he released the arrow from the bow, he immediately turned to Piers to tell him off, yet the arrow was still in the bowstring. The arrow managed to hit the bullseye, but not on the target and instead in Piers' left eye. He fell to the ground screaming and writhing in pain. Piers yelled obscenities and slurs toward William. William considered taking out his wand to cure Piers, but he fled the yard instead. He returned about 75 minutes later to the house to see Piers passed out in the living room with the arrow still in the eye. William attempted to cure the eye. As he casted the spell, he slowly remove the arrow from Piers' eye. He noticed Piers' body relax some and soon woke up. Piers woke up wondering why he felt no pain rubbing his eyes. He opened his eyes and rubbed his left eye some more. He could see out his right but not in his left. Starting to panic, he ran to a mirror nearby , nearly tripping on a stool. He looked in the mirror to see his left eye foggy. Piers was blind in his left eye. Piers screamed out in horror and blamed William that he could never practice archery again. In the morning, Piers was gone and was not heard from again, officially.

=== ''Adulthood'' ===
====The Beginnings of an Adventurer====
: At the age of sixteen, after all the years following tragedy after tragedy, William finally prepared to set off for Gridania. On the day before he sets off for an adventurer's life, he prepared his bow, one made by his father. He had wondered whether or not fame would come for him quickly as his family name is of Chambers. He does not want to easily be significant as the "Son of Solmunder Chambers". He went to his father for advice upon the matter and contemplated whether going by another name should suffice. Solmunder sat him down next to him and took his old fedora off and plopped onto William's head. He told him how he should do what he feels is right and never look back. He agreed wholeheartedly with William considering to go by another name. He even told him a little story..
:: "Aye Will, ye listen close. Once upon eh time there was eh young Lominsan lad who lived amongst eh family of ruthless 'n coldhearted killehs 'n theives. 'E was forced to join th' crew iffen 'e wants some grub and eh night's rest. 'Pon the day of 'is eighteenth nameday, 'e mustered 'is courage t' leave 'is godsforsaken home, iffen it could be called eh home. 'E took to th' ports of Limsa Lominsa 'n 'e found eh small cargo ship to th' mainland 'o Aldenard. 'E arrived en Vesper Bay where 'e could 'ear some word of eh trip to th' Shroud. Now 'e was quite skilled en the disciplines of archery 'n spearin', so Gridania was quite th' place for harnessin' 'is skills. 'E took the first journey to th' Shroud and landed en th' Adventurer's Guild. They at th' time were-eh pryin' for th' lad's name. 'E could not take aftah 'is true name, for 'e could be eithah arrested by th' Serpents or found by 'is twisted family! 'Is 'eart was racin' so 'e scrubbed off o' 'is last name for 'is new name. Chambers. See lad, for 'e was I. When I was at 'bout ye' age for even I was at ye' place. I needed t' make eh name for me-self. 'N that I did, lad. I rose the to th' tops o' ranks of th' Wailers n' I even met ye motheh. She'd be quite proud of ye decision. Take 'tis hat wit' ye wherever ye go. 'Tis nice for th' formal nights 'n even was what ye motheh noticed first of me!"
: William had not known of his father's history before the Wailers before now. He took the fancy hat and packed it in his suitcase with his other clothes. He grabbed his old wand and placed it near his bow when his brother came to see him. He had been practicing archery everyday to prepare for this moment. Rod wished him luck for his journeys ahead and urged him to never give up when things seems hard.

===Family===

: ■✖Athilda Chambers née Arrowe, (Mother)
:: [[File:Athilda_Chambers.jpg|right|250px|Athilda Chambers]]
::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "My mother is my true inspiration to why I remain healing. It's what she would have wanted.."</div>
:::: Athilda was born in the streets of Ul'Dah, not knowing her true family. She would be a thief in order to get a meal, occasionaly stealing from the marketplace. One day, the grocer took notice of her actions and let the game continue for a while until she confronted her. Athilda, being scared of being arrested, attempted to run, yet was caught immediately. The grocer caught her by the Weavers' Guild and inquired about her life. She told her that she had no home, no family, and no food. Without a second thought, the grocer took her in and raised her. The grocer's name was Petra Arrowe. As she grew older, Athilda, moved to the Shroud to make a name for herself. She thanked her foster mother for everything she's done for her and stayed in touch.
::::Before her marriage to William's father, she gave birth to Roderick, William's oldest brother, yet she was rather promiscuous during her twenties, so Roderick's biological father is unknown but assumed to be a Gods' Quiver archer. Having changed her ways, she found Solmunder eight years later and fell in love and married. They had their first son together Piers and then nine years later their second son William. Athilda lived her life as conjurer for the Twin Adders. Both she and Solmunder were fighting with the Grand Companies at Cartenau against the Garlean menace before the Calamity struck. Solmunder fought valiantly and took many Garlean lives with Athilda alongside him. As they were taking out the enemy, Athilda was caught blindsided and was slew by an Imperial Laquearius. Solmunder was filled with rage and pierced the Laquearius through its heart. Solmunder survived the battle and returned home to his children after the Calamity struck and informed them of the tragic news. William took it hardest of all. Only being twelve at the time of this calamity, he was really close to his mother and she would show him conjury tricks. Whenever William heals for his party, he always thinks of his mother guiding him through to victory..

: ■Solmunder Chambers, (Father)
:: [[File:Solmunder_Chambers.jpg|right|250px|Solmunder Chambers]]
::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "My father would never let any bad situation ruin his sense of humor!"</div>
:::: Solmunder Chambers came from a terrible household in Limsa Lominsa. He was born to a family of vile pirates known as the Chamberlain Crew. He was forced to partake in villainous crimes if he was to get a meal and bed each day. When he became eighteen years of age, he mustered the courage to hitch a ship to Aldenard without saying one word to his family. He arrived in Vesper Bay and changed his name to Chambers, for slight differentiation from his family. He trekked to the Shroud in hopes to learn either archery or lancing; upon his arrival to Gridania, he learned the latter. He became skilled quickly enough for one of the Wood Wailers to take notice and suggest him to be a private among them. For many years he was an esteemed Wood Wailer and caught the eye of a fan, Athilda. They met at the Carline Canopy when Solmunder was off duty and Athilda noticed him. She approached him commending him for his valor in protecting the Shroud and immediately hit it off. They would always make jokes with each other with Solmunder always cracking horrible puns, yet Athilda laughed anyways. Athilda's nickname for Solmunder was "Sully" and although he wasn't too fond of it, it did not bother him either way; His nickname for her was Thillie and she liked it. They worked together roaming the Shroud, vanquishing any threat to Gridania with Athilda supporting Sully as he fought head-on.

:::: After the passing of his wife, Solmunder tried to keep his joy alive by providing for their children. Sully was only in his early forties yet became weak at holding his lance for long. Roderick, who was proficient at archery, joined the Gods' Bow to provide coin for the family. Sully, being grateful for Rod's generosity, officially retired his lance and stayed at home to tend to the family crops. William loved his father dearly and would always assist him when Sully is unable to move around. William talked to his father about leaving to provide even more for his family. William even mentioned desiring to change his surname to became notable for his own deeds, not his father's. Solmunder was quite the opposite of being disappointed and gave William a big hug and told him he was proud of that decision and mentioned his own story of coming to Aldenard. To this day, William provides 45 percent of his earnings to his family and visits home every now and then. His father is his inspiration for whenever William cracks a silly pun and would think of him every time he does.
: ■♦Piers Chambers, (Brother)
:: [[File:Piers_Chambers.jpg|right|250px|Piers Chambers]]
::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "Piers and I never really saw eye to eye. He always tried to rival me in archery, even when his accuracy was low.."</div>
:::: Piers is the middle child in the Chambers' family and felt he was only treated as such. He felt so much praise until William was born, and from then on he tended to resent him. William tried to show his love for his brother, but was never noticed. So he simply gave up and did not care for him. When their mother was killed in battle, there was even more disgust between the brothers. Piers always thought their mother favored William over him and he was filled with anger. Soon after, Piers left for Limsa Lominsa to get away from the family for a while. He had hoped his excile will cure his anger. In the meantime, Roderick taught William archery and became a prodigy at it. A few years passed and Piers returned home having made minor success and lost it all when he fell for a Miqo'te courtesan. He thought she truly loved him so he gave her a home in the Mist for them to live together. However, she mooched off gil after gil until she had the deed of the house and kicked him out for an Auri girl. He had but no choice to return home.

:::: Upon his return to Hyrstmill, he had noticed that the family had moved out of the hamlet and into a house in the Lavender Beds. When he found where the family was living at, he noticed William practicing archery in the yard with a target. He noticed William hit a bullseye with each shot. Piers did not like how William was better at archery than he and this refueled his anger. For the years to follow, they would pointlessly compete at archery. During one of these competitions, Piers blew a gasket and accused William of cheating everytime. William, unable to keep his cool, was about to make a shot at the target and turned to tell off Piers, but the arrow was released. The arrow flew and pierced Piers in the eye. Piers, writhing in pain screamed out obscenities toward William. William, knowing the conjury spell Cure, could have healed Piers if done immediately, but ran in fear. He came back home that night attempting to cure Piers' pain. The pain was gone, but Piers could never see in his left eye again. To this day, Piers is somewhere in Ul'Dah with his exact whereabouts unknown. William would once in a while recieve death threats from an anonymous sender, yet he could always recognize Piers' penmanship.
: ■Roderick Arrowe, (Half-Brother)
:: [[File:Roderick_Arrowe.jpg|right|250px|Roderick Arrowe]]
::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "Rod has always been a wonderful teacher in archery! We both show each other new tricks from time to time!"</div>
:::: Rod grew up never knowing who his real father was, as his mother was promiscuous when he was conceived.

=Prompts=
==F.A.Q.'s==
: ■ Does your character have siblings or family members in their age group? Which one are they closest with?
:: William’s two siblings have a big age gap from William, with Piers being 9 years older and Rod being 17 years older. William is not remotely close to Piers any way. They have had too much bad blood over the years. Rod however remains very close to William, as he first taught him archery as he became a novice. Any other relatives are unknown as his father came from a family of pirates and his mother grew up in the streets of Ul’Dah.
: ■ What is/was your character’s relationship with their mother like?
:: While she was still alive, she would always tell William stories of her adventures with his father each night as a child. William loved his mother dearly such that she is the true reason he kept healing. She taught him the basic heal Cure as a child. There were several instances where he became so flustered, he considered retiring his codex. Yet he remembered his mother would never give up in the heat of battle, so neither should he.
: ■ What is/was your character’s relationship with their father like?
:: His relationship to his father is quite as loving as his relationship to his mother! Before Rod was actually teaching William archery, it was his father who gave him his first bow and arrow set. Even thouch his father was adept lancing, he had knew archery as well. When he presented William his own set, at roughly nine years old, his father demonstrated archery to him by taking three arrows from a quiver, placing each in his bow, and accurately shot the bullseye! William’s face was filled with awe and his love for archery began. His father’s jokes also rubbed off onto William, which eventually became everyone else’s misfortune. Every cracked pun blossomed from the sole purpose to simply make everyone happy, as his father made him.
: ■ Has your character ever witnessed something that fundamentally changed them? If so, does anyone else know?
:: A year into William’s travels, having been months since he became a Warrior of Light, he was assisting the historical scholars of NOAH with emergence of the Crystal Tower. William was mainly a user of white magic and was hesitant to pick up a new skill at the time. He was tasked with preventing the realm becoming a World of Darkness. There was another healer in his group, one whose techniques differed from his own. He had not seen a healer perform abilities like these before. In duty, William took notice that their Warrior was taking too much damage at a point for William to replenish health quick enough. The Warrior got weak enough to the point where William was forced to grant him Benediction. The other healer managed to take over the main healing and was granting him aetheric shields to nullify incoming damage. William was astounded to see such a trick done in battle. After the duty was complete, he asked the other healer in the group where he learned such skills; he told him to find Alka Zolka and ask her the ways of the Nymian Scholar. Henceforth, he dedicated his following days studying the abilities of a Scholar in battle and became an adept Scholar under the great Nymian Scholar Surito Carito.
: ■ On an average day, what can be found in your character’s pockets?
:: Usually pocket lint.
: ■ What does your OC look for in a friend? Do they value friendship a lot?
:: What William finds for in a friend is someone who he is able to put his trust into, someone who he knows respects him as he to them, and someone who can put up with all of his dang shenanigans! Does he value friendship? Are chocobo couriers actually yellow chocobos splathered with tar? Yes! Friendship means everything to William and never wants to sever ties with someone he has grown see as a friend.
: ■ Is there a place they go to in order to escape the world, the stresses of life? What’s their favourite place?
:: Whenever William feels stressed from either a poor dungeon dive or surrounded by plenty of drama, he either resides within the study of his home to review over past tomes or journeys to Tailfeather to surround himself with the chocobos within their natural habitat. Either resolution renders William at peace.
: ■ What are concepts they value? Virtues? What do they look down upon?
:: William values the safety of his friends at all times within a duty. Whether he chooses to be the designated healer or a bard, he refuses to allow his party to fail, or even perish. He also values his friends above all else. As his virtues, William selects loyalty, as in to each other, and family, as in he places his family above everything else, whether it be his blood family or his friends who he looks to as a family. William looks down upon a betrayal of trust. He finds it very hard to mend broken ties, yet can turn the other cheek if necessary.
: ■Do they have a guilty conscience? Why? Did they ever do something they totally regretted?
:: William is as innocent as he’s going to get. He totally does not enact shenanigans in public as the Chocobo. What if he was the Chocobo? He would not regret it one bit. He finds it hilarious to be stared at when he conducts his weekly foray into Issom-Har in his chocobo suit. However the most shenanigans he would openly admit to would be shuffling up Sugis’ books. Yet he really needs to learn to conduct his prank while she isn’t home..
: ■ What are Tropes you associate with your muse?
:: ● Bookworm since he studies old tomes he’s collected from the Gubal Library during some of Sugis’ forays, yet while he does not have a collection of tomes to amount Sugis’, his collection sums to an estimate of sixty.
:: ● a literal Scholar, while that may be preferred healing job in duties, he tends to overly study past civilizations. He has recently taken an interest in the War of the Magi and regularly conducts expeditions to the Yafaem saltmoors for Mhach and the Wanderer’s Palace to communicate with the tonberries of Nym, if he manages to find a sane tonberry.
:: ● Chocobo.
: ■ If given a million dollars, what would your OC do?
:: “Dollars? Is that a currency? The only common currency used across Eorzea is gil, so I’ll assume the question will refer to gil.”
:: William upon given a million gil will immediately donate a quarter to his family for however his father seems fit, a quarter to his free company to fund their move from their current base of a cottage in the Lavender Beds into a mansion of appealing scenary, a quarter to the Adventurer’s Guild for showing how even a Warrior of Light can make his start with them, and the remaining quarter for himself for various luxuries for his private house (totally not decorating it fully in chocobo decor).
==Other O.C.'s Relationships==
===Sugis Kevade===
: ■"Rumor has it that William deals in shady blackmarket business what with multiplw people seeing him go into the Kevade Mansion so often...."
:: While that may appear so, his business at the mansion is strictly personal! He considers the “Void” officers friends! While Suvi is verbally annoyed by his jokes, William notices a smirk followed by disbelief upon his face. On occasion, he may give business advice, as he runs his free company. While he stays out of specific business details, he cares not for whatever “shady” business is conducted, yet refuses to get involved in actual dealings. Although on one instance, he proposed that Suvi hire William’s older brother to do some secretarial work.
: William's memories of Sugis
:: ⭐️ One memory of William remembers is the day they first met in a duty to clear the first hall of Dzemael Darkhold. William on occasion tells Sugis how he both regrets and is grateful for that encounter.
:: ⭐️ No matter what’s happening, whether it be a dangerous raid or utter nonsense, William and Sugis will not hesitate to be sarcastic and sassy to each other.
:: ⭐️ William will not step one foot inside Sugis’ house. He once did and he was frightened by the sheer number of books in her house. Her house would put the Gubal Library out of business.
:: ⭐️ How many puns does it take for William to get on Sugis’s nerves. A skele-ton. She’d punish him, but that in itself would be helping his situation.
: Sugis' memories of William
:: ⭐️ Despite a slight age gap, and the fact that Will is /technically an adult/ Sugis still treats him like a child when it comes to his safety.
:: ⭐️ Sugis quit drinking due to something that happened involving dungeon crawling, Will pressuring a drunken Ishgardian Dragoon to “Do It”, and multiple Gas Bombs.
:: ⭐️ She likes to tease him, lightheartedly, about girls and when he’s gonna start dating to fluster him.
:: ⭐️ If there was a gil for every time she shouted “You’re grounded” to Will… She’d probably be rich(er).
:: ⭐️ Sugis takes the more serious marks for hunts and mercenary related stuff because she doesn’t want to see Will get hurt.
===Riaa Alteir===
: Riaa's memories of William
:: ⭐️ Riaa thinks that William is quite silly, but she appreciates it. Most people are too serious so it’s a nice change. She especially likes the OH JEEZ
:: ⭐️ to the point now where Riaa gleefully joins in on the OH JEEZ as well. She isn’t too bothered if it’s bugging anybody, but she’s definately having fun with it, and figures if SHE’S having fun with it then William must also be having fun too and YAY FUN.
:: ⭐️ She likes his hat. Not any specific one, just all of them. (Riaa really likes the chocobo head though, she thinks it’s hilarious.)
:: ⭐️ (Weed-Lizard) After the pixie stix incident, Mariko is worried about the purity of her candy, and as such double-triple checks that it’s not got anything else in. She’s also a bit worried that William managed to get tweaked out like that. On candy. How even…?
===Darius Kinkaid===
: Darius' memories of William
:: ⭐️ Darius knows about William through his subordinate, Ringabel [Sugis]. He’s heard nothing but good things, but is convinced William lives in a constant state of thinking everyone is going to die in an instant.
:: ⭐️ Darius also believes William was a chocobo in a past life.
:: ⭐️ When they first met, them two didn’t speak much outside of momentary jokes and the like, but they both soon found out they both read stories about a fictional group of heroes. The first book in question? “Red Helm and the Vandals.” There are other books, but William is convinced Darius idolizes this “Red Helm” character. He’s not absolutely wrong.
:: ⭐️ Since finding out about his sister, Darius has attended every small party William and his Free Company has thrown. The scholar in question is the only person who knows Darius disguises himself as an entertainer in a Vanu Vanu outfit.
:: ⭐️ William is constantly forgetting who Darius is, claiming he had seen him before in outlandish roles and places. It is unknown if William just does this to try and get inside Darius’s head or if it’s honestly forgetfulness.
:: ⭐️ Darius and William finally became friends when a mishap occurred while questing. They both had said “Oh Jeez” at the same time, rendering odd looks from both parties.

:'''Logan Holden''', began life simply, living in Moraby Bay, with his father who was a fisherman, his mother who was a Yellowjacket, and his twin sister who looked very little like him. When he was nineteen years old, a voice called him away to adventure, to face a rising threat. Although originally unwilling to leave his happy and peaceful life behind, his sister urged him onwards, and together the pair became adventurers. Logan quickly adopted to the simple style of combat employed by Gladiators, and found security behind the heavy armour and shields they bore, relying on them more than agility to protect both himself and those around him. His eagerness to assist led to being noticed by the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, and he eagerly became a member.

: - Items

=Appearance=
[[File:William_Fedorason_11_06_2016_15_47_59.jpg|right|500px]]
'''Height:''' 5 fulms 9 ilms

'''Weight:''' 130 ponz

'''Complexion: ''' Fair.

'''Hair: ''' Light Brown with White dyed streaks.

'''Eyes: ''' Green.

: William's physical figure is rather average size with some musculature due to his continued training of several war disciplines. He has a scar that goes down his right side of his face, barely missing the eye. He got that scar after a run in with an Imperial Centurion. His other scar the left side of his face came from an Ixali encounter. William tends to sport a green painted stripe across his eyes merely for aesthetic purposes. His father would wear a similar facepaint during his younger days in the Wood Wailers.

=Behavior=
=== '''''Behavior''''' ===
: Logan does his best to always be respectful of others upon meeting them, and generally stays quiet and lets them talk, until he's required to speak. When he is, he tends to answer in the shortest form possible, and often stammers through words until he can get a feel of the person and the conversation.
: When with people he trusts and feels comfortable with, he's far more open and enjoys telling jokes, stories, and listening to others. Even still, you'll often find him on his own, or to one side, as being around a lot of people can make him uncomfortable after long periods of time. He enjoys his quieter time to himself quite a bit.
: Logan is incredibly hard to make angry, though he may feign annoyance and frustration to give what he assumes is the desired reaction from a joke. He always makes sure you know when he's serious, and he hopes he'll get your attention as much as he'd give you his.
: The only time you'll see Logan honestly upset or angry is towards those who don't understand how to take care of others, or those who have betrayed or hurt people. He has little tolerance for the evils of the world, and holds fast to the phrase "do unto others as you would have them do unto you".
: If possible, Logan will prevent the death of any intelligent being, from the Elezen of Isghard to the Kobolds of La Noscea, putting his shield and sword pommel to good use. He does, however, accept that Eorzea is embroiled in violent conflicts, and that peaceful solutions are not always possible, and is willing to kill if necessary.

=== '''''Fears''''' ===
: ■ Ever since the Calamity, Logan's been scared of dragons. After being introduced to the more peaceful side of dragons in Dravania, his fear has lessened, but they can still make him heavily uneasy.
: ■ Being in a leadership position among his friends and even Eorzea, he's terrified of failure and letting down those who hold him to such a high standard.

===Preferences===
: What does William look for in a partner? He is only interested in romantic relationship with females. He does not have too much preference into any race. He's pretty much open to any girl who's a kind and respectful person.
: Currently he is not really looking for a relationship, yet if the opportunity with a girl he's infatuated for reveals itself, he may go after it.

=== '''''Hobbies''''' ===
: ■ Alchemy.
: ■ Assisting the Adventurer's Guild.
: ■ Reading in his study.
: ■ Cracking horrible puns.

=== '''''Likes''''' ===
: ■Philanthropy
: ■Harmless pranks
: ■Triple Triad
: ■The setting or rising Sun
: ■Puns and jokes
: ■Chocobos

=== '''''Dislikes''''' ===
: ■Failure of self
: ■Betrayal

: ■Hubris
: ■Ignorance
: ■Alcohol

An optional blurb about how your character looks and behaves during combat.

=== '''''Weapons''''' ===
William is currently learning the ways of nearly all disciplines and to their advanced job. If he had the choice, he would remain healing, and would rather stay away from the battle's front. Overtime, William learned to embrace the inevitable moment of conflict and thus began apprenticing the many disciplines. Some disciplines interest William enough to even put forth more time into mastering the techniques. The weapons William uses in conflict are as follows:[[File:wf_270_scholar_relic_anabis.jpg|right|500px]]

Backstory on Magical Abilities
: ■Summoning of egis and faeries.
: ■Regenerative magic.
: ■Shielding magic.
: ■Embrace by the Echo
: ■Aetheric channeling

=== '''''Crafting''''' ===
As he was still making a name for himself before becoming a Warrior of Light, he would partake in the work of alchemy. He has always enjoyed the act of making elixers to assist his allies with enhancing their abilities or replenishing their vigor. As of late, William has temporarily retired the craft of alchemy simply to put other needs forward. In order for him to advance his skills of alchemy, he must learn the ways of other crafts to further his own skills. He is currently working on learning the ways of the goldsmithing, leatherworking, and smithing in order to learn the technique to self-repair his gear that is composed of such craft.

=== '''''Talents''''' ===
: ■Summoning of each egi and faerie together at a time, yet not in combat.
: ■Taught his gaelikitten to retrieve objects on command.
: ■Proficient in archery to be able to shoot three arrows at once at a target.

=Background=
: “My name is William Fedorason.
: For years I have faced a major calamity with only one goal:
: To save my realm. Now others have joined with me in my company.
: To them, I am William, but to the rest of Eorzea,
: I am the Warrior of Light.”

:: -From a letter to Ser Aymeric de Borel in regards to assisting in the Dragonsong War.
=== ''Birth and childhood (0-10)'' ===
: Born William Chambers in the year 1560 of the Sixth Astral Era, he was raised within the hamlet of Hyrstmill of the northern Shroud. His parents are Solmunder Chambers, a well decorated Wood Wailer, and Athilda Chambers, a skilled conjurer for the Twin Adders. He has two older brothers, Piers Chambers, who's a moderate archer and only 9 years older, and Roderick Arrowe, his half-brother who's was a skilled archer among the Gods' Bow and now a secretary for the free company of <<VOID>>. At young age, archery interested him a great deal. His father would craft him his own bow and dulled arrows to play with. Though he was no good, he still enjoyed it no matter what. Whenever William would injure himself when he plays outside, his mother always use her skills of conjury to cure his wounds. Over time, William learned to cure on his own, but not much more conjury than that.
=== ''Adolescent Years'' ===
: As William grew, he met his now best friends in Old Gridania. At the age of eleven, he was tasked to travel to the city to pick up some seeds and tools from the Botanist's Guild to replenish his family's farm. When the guildmaster unfortunately stated there were no such seeds available for pickup, there was an Elezen kid who was also purchasing seeds who had came before him. He had noticed the despair in William's face and gave him a portion of his seeds. He had introduced himself as Brandon. Days passed and they would meet up to hang out, and William was introduced to Brandon's friends: Tyler Ultimathule, an Elezen, and Aries Xela, a Miqo'te who was typically called Alex. The four of them would become inseparable over time.
: William had minimal previous magical encounters. He once came across an altercation between the Sharlayan Circle of Knowing and a dark robed Mage. Apparently there was a surge of aetheric energy coming from near the Ehcatl 9 tribe, the docile Ixali group. William, only twelve at the time, was out gathering some firewood when the Mage confronted him. Frightened, William was cornered into a cavern. He noticed the Mage preparing to cast some magical attack, but was cut short when a Miqote conjurer, Highlander pugilist, and a Lalafellan thaumaturge confronted him. The Mage directed his attacks to hit the pugilist as some magic deflected off her and hit William instead. The conjurer came to his aid and cured his wounds. She remained by his side as the thaumaturge managed to harm the Mage. The Mage soon dissipated away. The three heroes of the hour introduced themselves as Y'shtola, Yda, and Papalymo respectively. They mentioned to William to contact them whenever there is a similar issue in the future. They dedicated there life to protecting the innocent from the forces of darkness saving the realm from calamity. From that day forward, William decided to become an adventurer and aspired to become like them, for he could discern true heroism within them.
====The Calamity Strikes====
: With word of the "Meteor Project" coming to the light of the Eorzean Alliance, the grand companies and allied free companies took up arms to defend the Carteneau Flats from the Garlean menace. William's parents both took up arms to fight with the Twin Adders. At home, William was sitting outside his cottage with his brothers watching the slow descent of the false moon. Though he and Piers never truly saw eye to eye, this may be the only time when they are united. His friends had shown up to wait out the world’s immenent demise. William felt powerless. He wanted to do something about the inevitable calamity that would affect his quaint hamlet. He saw the enormous cracks forming upon Dalamud and something spoke to him inside his head.
:: “Save them later. Be…a…hero…”
: The voice felt as if someone was echoing right behind him, yet when he turned around to check, there was only a dissipating mist. He had asked to his friends around if they heard anything nearby, but they denied. William looked back up to the falling moon as it suddenly bursts as the Dreadwyrm breaks free. William and his friends stand up in shock as Bahamut ravages the land. The first thought to pop in William’s head was the Circle of Knowing that he had met a month prior. He had hoped they would save the realm from total annihilation. William noticed the people around him either crying or standing in complete shock. He notice one man pick up his young daughter and held her tight saying “Everything will be alright sometime soon.” He could see a hunk of the false moon fall near the southern border of the North Shroud. Suddenly a flash of white bright light covers the realm. Soon after, the Dreadwyrm disappears without a trace. Eorzea, a realm reborn out of a tragic calamity, needs a hero.

====A Family in Shambles====
: It has been five hours since the disappearance of Bahamut and William and his brothers are waiting anxiously for their parents to return. It was about the middle of the night when Roderick noticed a tired man carrying a woman in his arms. He trudged toward the cottage and as the light shined on his face, it was their father with tears flooding from his eyes. Roderick yelled for Piers and William to wake up. William came immediately outside and saw his father carrying his mother in his arms. William promptly yelled for his mother to wake up. With tears trailing from his eyes, he attempted to cast Cure on her, but to no avail. He attempted to execute a spell he has been learning, Raise. For a slight moment, he had heard the voice from before, but was indistinguishable. By the grace of the Twelve, his mother's eyes opened. She was awake, but not for long. She could speak, but she was very weak. Solmunder was speechless to witness such a temporary miracle. Athilda knew she would be passing soon, so she gave each a hug and a kiss. She told them all to be well and live happy whilst urging to remain together. Her last breath passed as she took hold on to William's hand before losing her grip on her mortal coil.
: Weeks passed after the passing of Athilda and Piers took excile from his Gridanian home to move to Limsa Lominsa for a new life. With two family members being gone from the home, only Solmunder, Roderick, and William remained. Solmunder tried to remain cheerful in the times of grief, yet he is always reminded of the dreadful day of the Calamity. Rod took notice of his father's decline in strength and mobility over time. He believed it to be caused by the grief and the PTSD from the moment Athilda's life started slipping. Rod thought to move the family to start over. Within two months, the family moved out of Hyrstmill and into the Lavender Beds. Once settled in, Rod taught William archery in the yard of their new home. Needless to say, William's skills advanced fairly over time.
: Years passed and Piers returned home from his travels in Vylbrand. In that time, Piers worked part time as a bow-for-hire and fell for a Miqo'te girl. Over time, they got a house, yet she would mooch gil off of Piers and eventually kicked Piers out of "their" house for an Auri girl. Defeated, he returned home. He had found the location of the new family home and noticed William practicing archery. Piers took pride in his skills of archery and believed he should be the best archer in the family, although he does not care whether Rod was good or not for some reason. As he came around the corner, he noticed William hit a bullseye thrice in a row. Piers' resent for William was reignited. For months they would have petty competitions too see who was the better archer.
: When William was about 15, he and Piers had one of their usual archery competitions. After each round, William was always closer to the center than Piers. At a moment when William was ready to shoot his next arrow at the target, Piers yelled out that he cheats each time. As he was ranting aloud, William shrugged it off until he could no longer. Piers then accused William that he was never really loved by his mother, such that it was all out of pity. William could not hold back much longer and as he released the arrow from the bow, he immediately turned to Piers to tell him off, yet the arrow was still in the bowstring. The arrow managed to hit the bullseye, but not on the target and instead in Piers' left eye. He fell to the ground screaming and writhing in pain. Piers yelled obscenities and slurs toward William. William considered taking out his wand to cure Piers, but he fled the yard instead. He returned about 75 minutes later to the house to see Piers passed out in the living room with the arrow still in the eye. William attempted to cure the eye. As he casted the spell, he slowly remove the arrow from Piers' eye. He noticed Piers' body relax some and soon woke up. Piers woke up wondering why he felt no pain rubbing his eyes. He opened his eyes and rubbed his left eye some more. He could see out his right but not in his left. Starting to panic, he ran to a mirror nearby , nearly tripping on a stool. He looked in the mirror to see his left eye foggy. Piers was blind in his left eye. Piers screamed out in horror and blamed William that he could never practice archery again. In the morning, Piers was gone and was not heard from again, officially.

=== ''Adulthood'' ===
====The Beginnings of an Adventurer====
: At the age of sixteen, after all the years following tragedy after tragedy, William finally prepared to set off for Gridania. On the day before he sets off for an adventurer's life, he prepared his bow, one made by his father. He had wondered whether or not fame would come for him quickly as his family name is of Chambers. He does not want to easily be significant as the "Son of Solmunder Chambers". He went to his father for advice upon the matter and contemplated whether going by another name should suffice. Solmunder sat him down next to him and took his old fedora off and plopped onto William's head. He told him how he should do what he feels is right and never look back. He agreed wholeheartedly with William considering to go by another name. He even told him a little story..
:: "Aye Will, ye listen close. Once upon eh time there was eh young Lominsan lad who lived amongst eh family of ruthless 'n coldhearted killehs 'n theives. 'E was forced to join th' crew iffen 'e wants some grub and eh night's rest. 'Pon the day of 'is eighteenth nameday, 'e mustered 'is courage t' leave 'is godsforsaken home, iffen it could be called eh home. 'E took to th' ports of Limsa Lominsa 'n 'e found eh small cargo ship to th' mainland 'o Aldenard. 'E arrived en Vesper Bay where 'e could 'ear some word of eh trip to th' Shroud. Now 'e was quite skilled en the disciplines of archery 'n spearin', so Gridania was quite th' place for harnessin' 'is skills. 'E took the first journey to th' Shroud and landed en th' Adventurer's Guild. They at th' time were-eh pryin' for th' lad's name. 'E could not take aftah 'is true name, for 'e could be eithah arrested by th' Serpents or found by 'is twisted family! 'Is 'eart was racin' so 'e scrubbed off o' 'is last name for 'is new name. Chambers. See lad, for 'e was I. When I was at 'bout ye' age for even I was at ye' place. I needed t' make eh name for me-self. 'N that I did, lad. I rose the to th' tops o' ranks of th' Wailers n' I even met ye motheh. She'd be quite proud of ye decision. Take 'tis hat wit' ye wherever ye go. 'Tis nice for th' formal nights 'n even was what ye motheh noticed first of me!"
: William had not known of his father's history before the Wailers before now. He took the fancy hat and packed it in his suitcase with his other clothes. He grabbed his old wand and placed it near his bow when his brother came to see him. He had been practicing archery everyday to prepare for this moment. Rod wished him luck for his journeys ahead and urged him to never give up when things seems hard.

:: [[File:Athilda_Chambers.jpg|right|250px|Athilda Chambers]]
::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "My mother is my true inspiration to why I remain healing. It's what she would have wanted.."</div>
:::: Athilda was born in the streets of Ul'Dah, not knowing her true family. She would be a thief in order to get a meal, occasionaly stealing from the marketplace. One day, the grocer took notice of her actions and let the game continue for a while until she confronted her. Athilda, being scared of being arrested, attempted to run, yet was caught immediately. The grocer caught her by the Weavers' Guild and inquired about her life. She told her that she had no home, no family, and no food. Without a second thought, the grocer took her in and raised her. The grocer's name was Petra Arrowe. As she grew older, Athilda, moved to the Shroud to make a name for herself. She thanked her foster mother for everything she's done for her and stayed in touch.
::::Before her marriage to William's father, she gave birth to Roderick, William's oldest brother, yet she was rather promiscuous during her twenties, so Roderick's biological father is unknown but assumed to be a Gods' Quiver archer. Having changed her ways, she found Solmunder eight years later and fell in love and married. They had their first son together Piers and then nine years later their second son William. Athilda lived her life as conjurer for the Twin Adders. Both she and Solmunder were fighting with the Grand Companies at Cartenau against the Garlean menace before the Calamity struck. Solmunder fought valiantly and took many Garlean lives with Athilda alongside him. As they were taking out the enemy, Athilda was caught blindsided and was slew by an Imperial Laquearius. Solmunder was filled with rage and pierced the Laquearius through its heart. Solmunder survived the battle and returned home to his children after the Calamity struck and informed them of the tragic news. William took it hardest of all. Only being twelve at the time of this calamity, he was really close to his mother and she would show him conjury tricks. Whenever William heals for his party, he always thinks of his mother guiding him through to victory..

: ■Solmunder Chambers, (Father)
:: [[File:Solmunder_Chambers.jpg|right|250px|Solmunder Chambers]]
::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "My father would never let any bad situation ruin his sense of humor!"</div>
:::: Solmunder Chambers came from a terrible household in Limsa Lominsa. He was born to a family of vile pirates known as the Chamberlain Crew. He was forced to partake in villainous crimes if he was to get a meal and bed each day. When he became eighteen years of age, he mustered the courage to hitch a ship to Aldenard without saying one word to his family. He arrived in Vesper Bay and changed his name to Chambers, for slight differentiation from his family. He trekked to the Shroud in hopes to learn either archery or lancing; upon his arrival to Gridania, he learned the latter. He became skilled quickly enough for one of the Wood Wailers to take notice and suggest him to be a private among them. For many years he was an esteemed Wood Wailer and caught the eye of a fan, Athilda. They met at the Carline Canopy when Solmunder was off duty and Athilda noticed him. She approached him commending him for his valor in protecting the Shroud and immediately hit it off. They would always make jokes with each other with Solmunder always cracking horrible puns, yet Athilda laughed anyways. Athilda's nickname for Solmunder was "Sully" and although he wasn't too fond of it, it did not bother him either way; His nickname for her was Thillie and she liked it. They worked together roaming the Shroud, vanquishing any threat to Gridania with Athilda supporting Sully as he fought head-on.

:::: After the passing of his wife, Solmunder tried to keep his joy alive by providing for their children. Sully was only in his early forties yet became weak at holding his lance for long. Roderick, who was proficient at archery, joined the Gods' Bow to provide coin for the family. Sully, being grateful for Rod's generosity, officially retired his lance and stayed at home to tend to the family crops. William loved his father dearly and would always assist him when Sully is unable to move around. William talked to his father about leaving to provide even more for his family. William even mentioned desiring to change his surname to became notable for his own deeds, not his father's. Solmunder was quite the opposite of being disappointed and gave William a big hug and told him he was proud of that decision and mentioned his own story of coming to Aldenard. To this day, William provides 45 percent of his earnings to his family and visits home every now and then. His father is his inspiration for whenever William cracks a silly pun and would think of him every time he does.
: ■♦Piers Chambers, (Brother)
:: [[File:Piers_Chambers.jpg|right|250px|Piers Chambers]]
::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "Piers and I never really saw eye to eye. He always tried to rival me in archery, even when his accuracy was low.."</div>
:::: Piers is the middle child in the Chambers' family and felt he was only treated as such. He felt so much praise until William was born, and from then on he tended to resent him. William tried to show his love for his brother, but was never noticed. So he simply gave up and did not care for him. When their mother was killed in battle, there was even more disgust between the brothers. Piers always thought their mother favored William over him and he was filled with anger. Soon after, Piers left for Limsa Lominsa to get away from the family for a while. He had hoped his excile will cure his anger. In the meantime, Roderick taught William archery and became a prodigy at it. A few years passed and Piers returned home having made minor success and lost it all when he fell for a Miqo'te courtesan. He thought she truly loved him so he gave her a home in the Mist for them to live together. However, she mooched off gil after gil until she had the deed of the house and kicked him out for an Auri girl. He had but no choice to return home.

:::: Upon his return to Hyrstmill, he had noticed that the family had moved out of the hamlet and into a house in the Lavender Beds. When he found where the family was living at, he noticed William practicing archery in the yard with a target. He noticed William hit a bullseye with each shot. Piers did not like how William was better at archery than he and this refueled his anger. For the years to follow, they would pointlessly compete at archery. During one of these competitions, Piers blew a gasket and accused William of cheating everytime. William, unable to keep his cool, was about to make a shot at the target and turned to tell off Piers, but the arrow was released. The arrow flew and pierced Piers in the eye. Piers, writhing in pain screamed out obscenities toward William. William, knowing the conjury spell Cure, could have healed Piers if done immediately, but ran in fear. He came back home that night attempting to cure Piers' pain. The pain was gone, but Piers could never see in his left eye again. To this day, Piers is somewhere in Ul'Dah with his exact whereabouts unknown. William would once in a while recieve death threats from an anonymous sender, yet he could always recognize Piers' penmanship.
: ■Roderick Arrowe, (Half-Brother)
:: [[File:Roderick_Arrowe.jpg|right|250px|Roderick Arrowe]]
::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "Rod has always been a wonderful teacher in archery! We both show each other new tricks from time to time!"</div>
:::: Rod grew up never knowing who his real father was, as his mother was promiscuous when he was conceived.

=Prompts=
==F.A.Q.'s==
: ■ Does your character have siblings or family members in their age group? Which one are they closest with?
:: William’s two siblings have a big age gap from William, with Piers being 9 years older and Rod being 17 years older. William is not remotely close to Piers any way. They have had too much bad blood over the years. Rod however remains very close to William, as he first taught him archery as he became a novice. Any other relatives are unknown as his father came from a family of pirates and his mother grew up in the streets of Ul’Dah.
: ■ What is/was your character’s relationship with their mother like?
:: While she was still alive, she would always tell William stories of her adventures with his father each night as a child. William loved his mother dearly such that she is the true reason he kept healing. She taught him the basic heal Cure as a child. There were several instances where he became so flustered, he considered retiring his codex. Yet he remembered his mother would never give up in the heat of battle, so neither should he.
: ■ What is/was your character’s relationship with their father like?
:: His relationship to his father is quite as loving as his relationship to his mother! Before Rod was actually teaching William archery, it was his father who gave him his first bow and arrow set. Even thouch his father was adept lancing, he had knew archery as well. When he presented William his own set, at roughly nine years old, his father demonstrated archery to him by taking three arrows from a quiver, placing each in his bow, and accurately shot the bullseye! William’s face was filled with awe and his love for archery began. His father’s jokes also rubbed off onto William, which eventually became everyone else’s misfortune. Every cracked pun blossomed from the sole purpose to simply make everyone happy, as his father made him.
: ■ Has your character ever witnessed something that fundamentally changed them? If so, does anyone else know?
:: A year into William’s travels, having been months since he became a Warrior of Light, he was assisting the historical scholars of NOAH with emergence of the Crystal Tower. William was mainly a user of white magic and was hesitant to pick up a new skill at the time. He was tasked with preventing the realm becoming a World of Darkness. There was another healer in his group, one whose techniques differed from his own. He had not seen a healer perform abilities like these before. In duty, William took notice that their Warrior was taking too much damage at a point for William to replenish health quick enough. The Warrior got weak enough to the point where William was forced to grant him Benediction. The other healer managed to take over the main healing and was granting him aetheric shields to nullify incoming damage. William was astounded to see such a trick done in battle. After the duty was complete, he asked the other healer in the group where he learned such skills; he told him to find Alka Zolka and ask her the ways of the Nymian Scholar. Henceforth, he dedicated his following days studying the abilities of a Scholar in battle and became an adept Scholar under the great Nymian Scholar Surito Carito.
: ■ On an average day, what can be found in your character’s pockets?
:: Usually pocket lint.
: ■ What does your OC look for in a friend? Do they value friendship a lot?
:: What William finds for in a friend is someone who he is able to put his trust into, someone who he knows respects him as he to them, and someone who can put up with all of his dang shenanigans! Does he value friendship? Are chocobo couriers actually yellow chocobos splathered with tar? Yes! Friendship means everything to William and never wants to sever ties with someone he has grown see as a friend.
: ■ Is there a place they go to in order to escape the world, the stresses of life? What’s their favourite place?
:: Whenever William feels stressed from either a poor dungeon dive or surrounded by plenty of drama, he either resides within the study of his home to review over past tomes or journeys to Tailfeather to surround himself with the chocobos within their natural habitat. Either resolution renders William at peace.
: ■ What are concepts they value? Virtues? What do they look down upon?
:: William values the safety of his friends at all times within a duty. Whether he chooses to be the designated healer or a bard, he refuses to allow his party to fail, or even perish. He also values his friends above all else. As his virtues, William selects loyalty, as in to each other, and family, as in he places his family above everything else, whether it be his blood family or his friends who he looks to as a family. William looks down upon a betrayal of trust. He finds it very hard to mend broken ties, yet can turn the other cheek if necessary.
: ■Do they have a guilty conscience? Why? Did they ever do something they totally regretted?
:: William is as innocent as he’s going to get. He totally does not enact shenanigans in public as the Chocobo. What if he was the Chocobo? He would not regret it one bit. He finds it hilarious to be stared at when he conducts his weekly foray into Issom-Har in his chocobo suit. However the most shenanigans he would openly admit to would be shuffling up Sugis’ books. Yet he really needs to learn to conduct his prank while she isn’t home..
: ■ What are Tropes you associate with your muse?
:: ● Bookworm since he studies old tomes he’s collected from the Gubal Library during some of Sugis’ forays, yet while he does not have a collection of tomes to amount Sugis’, his collection sums to an estimate of sixty.
:: ● a literal Scholar, while that may be preferred healing job in duties, he tends to overly study past civilizations. He has recently taken an interest in the War of the Magi and regularly conducts expeditions to the Yafaem saltmoors for Mhach and the Wanderer’s Palace to communicate with the tonberries of Nym, if he manages to find a sane tonberry.
:: ● Chocobo.
: ■ If given a million dollars, what would your OC do?
:: “Dollars? Is that a currency? The only common currency used across Eorzea is gil, so I’ll assume the question will refer to gil.”
:: William upon given a million gil will immediately donate a quarter to his family for however his father seems fit, a quarter to his free company to fund their move from their current base of a cottage in the Lavender Beds into a mansion of appealing scenary, a quarter to the Adventurer’s Guild for showing how even a Warrior of Light can make his start with them, and the remaining quarter for himself for various luxuries for his private house (totally not decorating it fully in chocobo decor).
==Other O.C.'s Relationships==
===Sugis Kevade===
: ■"Rumor has it that William deals in shady blackmarket business what with multiplw people seeing him go into the Kevade Mansion so often...."
:: While that may appear so, his business at the mansion is strictly personal! He considers the “Void” officers friends! While Suvi is verbally annoyed by his jokes, William notices a smirk followed by disbelief upon his face. On occasion, he may give business advice, as he runs his free company. While he stays out of specific business details, he cares not for whatever “shady” business is conducted, yet refuses to get involved in actual dealings. Although on one instance, he proposed that Suvi hire William’s older brother to do some secretarial work.
: William's memories of Sugis
:: ⭐️ One memory of William remembers is the day they first met in a duty to clear the first hall of Dzemael Darkhold. William on occasion tells Sugis how he both regrets and is grateful for that encounter.
:: ⭐️ No matter what’s happening, whether it be a dangerous raid or utter nonsense, William and Sugis will not hesitate to be sarcastic and sassy to each other.
:: ⭐️ William will not step one foot inside Sugis’ house. He once did and he was frightened by the sheer number of books in her house. Her house would put the Gubal Library out of business.
:: ⭐️ How many puns does it take for William to get on Sugis’s nerves. A skele-ton. She’d punish him, but that in itself would be helping his situation.
: Sugis' memories of William
:: ⭐️ Despite a slight age gap, and the fact that Will is /technically an adult/ Sugis still treats him like a child when it comes to his safety.
:: ⭐️ Sugis quit drinking due to something that happened involving dungeon crawling, Will pressuring a drunken Ishgardian Dragoon to “Do It”, and multiple Gas Bombs.
:: ⭐️ She likes to tease him, lightheartedly, about girls and when he’s gonna start dating to fluster him.
:: ⭐️ If there was a gil for every time she shouted “You’re grounded” to Will… She’d probably be rich(er).
:: ⭐️ Sugis takes the more serious marks for hunts and mercenary related stuff because she doesn’t want to see Will get hurt.
===Riaa Alteir===
: Riaa's memories of William
:: ⭐️ Riaa thinks that William is quite silly, but she appreciates it. Most people are too serious so it’s a nice change. She especially likes the OH JEEZ
:: ⭐️ to the point now where Riaa gleefully joins in on the OH JEEZ as well. She isn’t too bothered if it’s bugging anybody, but she’s definately having fun with it, and figures if SHE’S having fun with it then William must also be having fun too and YAY FUN.
:: ⭐️ She likes his hat. Not any specific one, just all of them. (Riaa really likes the chocobo head though, she thinks it’s hilarious.)
:: ⭐️ (Weed-Lizard) After the pixie stix incident, Mariko is worried about the purity of her candy, and as such double-triple checks that it’s not got anything else in. She’s also a bit worried that William managed to get tweaked out like that. On candy. How even…?
===Darius Kinkaid===
: Darius' memories of William
:: ⭐️ Darius knows about William through his subordinate, Ringabel [Sugis]. He’s heard nothing but good things, but is convinced William lives in a constant state of thinking everyone is going to die in an instant.
:: ⭐️ Darius also believes William was a chocobo in a past life.
:: ⭐️ When they first met, them two didn’t speak much outside of momentary jokes and the like, but they both soon found out they both read stories about a fictional group of heroes. The first book in question? “Red Helm and the Vandals.” There are other books, but William is convinced Darius idolizes this “Red Helm” character. He’s not absolutely wrong.
:: ⭐️ Since finding out about his sister, Darius has attended every small party William and his Free Company has thrown. The scholar in question is the only person who knows Darius disguises himself as an entertainer in a Vanu Vanu outfit.
:: ⭐️ William is constantly forgetting who Darius is, claiming he had seen him before in outlandish roles and places. It is unknown if William just does this to try and get inside Darius’s head or if it’s honestly forgetfulness.
:: ⭐️ Darius and William finally became friends when a mishap occurred while questing. They both had said “Oh Jeez” at the same time, rendering odd looks from both parties.

:'''Logan Holden''', began life simply, living in Moraby Bay, with his father who was a fisherman, his mother who was a Yellowjacket, and his twin sister who looked very little like him. When he was nineteen years old, a voice called him away to adventure, to face a rising threat. Although originally unwilling to leave his happy and peaceful life behind, his sister urged him onwards, and together the pair became adventurers. Logan quickly adopted to the simple style of combat employed by Gladiators, and found security behind the heavy armour and shields they bore, relying on them more than agility to protect both himself and those around him. His eagerness to assist led to being noticed by the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, and he eagerly became a member.

==Logan's Typical Inventory==
'''Last updated:''' N/A
: - Items

=Appearance=
[[File:William_Fedorason_11_06_2016_15_47_59.jpg|right|500px]]
'''Height:''' 5 fulms 9 ilms

'''Weight:''' 130 ponz

'''Complexion: ''' Fair.

'''Hair: ''' Light Brown with White dyed streaks.

'''Eyes: ''' Green.

: William's physical figure is rather average size with some musculature due to his continued training of several war disciplines. He has a scar that goes down his right side of his face, barely missing the eye. He got that scar after a run in with an Imperial Centurion. His other scar the left side of his face came from an Ixali encounter. William tends to sport a green painted stripe across his eyes merely for aesthetic purposes. His father would wear a similar facepaint during his younger days in the Wood Wailers.

=Behavior=
=== '''''Behavior''''' ===
: Logan does his best to always be respectful of others upon meeting them, and generally stays quiet and lets them talk, until he's required to speak. When he is, he tends to answer in the shortest form possible, and often stammers through words until he can get a feel of the person and the conversation.
: When with people he trusts and feels comfortable with, he's far more open and enjoys telling jokes, stories, and listening to others. Even still, you'll often find him on his own, or to one side, as being around a lot of people can make him uncomfortable after long periods of time. He enjoys his quieter time to himself quite a bit.
: Logan is incredibly hard to make angry, though he may feign annoyance and frustration to give what he assumes is the desired reaction from a joke. He always makes sure you know when he's serious, and he hopes he'll get your attention as much as he'd give you his.
: The only time you'll see Logan honestly upset or angry is towards those who don't understand how to take care of others, or those who have betrayed or hurt people. He has little tolerance for the evils of the world, and holds fast to the phrase "do unto others as you would have them do unto you".
: If possible, Logan will prevent the death of any intelligent being, from the Elezen of Isghard to the Kobolds of La Noscea, putting his shield and sword pommel to good use. He does, however, accept that Eorzea is embroiled in violent conflicts, and that peaceful solutions are not always possible, and is willing to kill if necessary.

=== '''''Fears''''' ===
: ■ One of William's biggest fears to date are diremites. He had a near-death experience when he first began his adventuring. Currently, diremites do not bother him so much, unless he is unprepared for a diremite encounter.
: ■ Not so much a fear, but a worry: William does not want to let his friends down healing. If one of his party members become rendered unconscious, William thinks of it as letting someone die.

===Preferences===
: What does William look for in a partner? He is only interested in romantic relationship with females. He does not have too much preference into any race. He's pretty much open to any girl who's a kind and respectful person.
: Currently he is not really looking for a relationship, yet if the opportunity with a girl he's infatuated for reveals itself, he may go after it.

=== '''''Hobbies''''' ===
: ■ Alchemy.
: ■ Assisting the Adventurer's Guild.
: ■ Reading in his study.
: ■ Cracking horrible puns.

=== '''''Likes''''' ===
: ■Philanthropy
: ■Harmless pranks
: ■Triple Triad
: ■The setting or rising Sun
: ■Puns and jokes
: ■Chocobos

=== '''''Dislikes''''' ===
: ■Failure of self
: ■Betrayal
: ■Drama among friends
: ■Hubris
: ■Ignorance
: ■Alcohol

=== '''''Favorites''''' ===
: ■ '''Favorite Color:''' Ochu Green
: ■ '''Favorite Food:''' Rolanberry Cheesecake
: ■ '''Favorite Drink:''' Mulled Tea
: ■ '''Favorite Scent:''' Petrichor
: ■ '''Favorite Places:''' Camp Overlook, Outer La Noscea; Tailfeather, Dravanian Forelands

=Abilities/Skills=
===Abilities/Skills===
An optional blurb about how your character looks and behaves during combat.

=== '''''Weapons''''' ===
William is currently learning the ways of nearly all disciplines and to their advanced job. If he had the choice, he would remain healing, and would rather stay away from the battle's front. Overtime, William learned to embrace the inevitable moment of conflict and thus began apprenticing the many disciplines. Some disciplines interest William enough to even put forth more time into mastering the techniques. The weapons William uses in conflict are as follows:[[File:wf_270_scholar_relic_anabis.jpg|right|500px]]
: ■ Anabasis (Scholar's anima codex)
:: Adept at Utility.
: ■ The Padjali Astrometer (Astrologian's starglobe)

=== '''''Magic''''' ===
Backstory on Magical Abilities
: ■Summoning of egis and faeries.
: ■Regenerative magic.
: ■Shielding magic.
: ■Embrace by the Echo
: ■Aetheric channeling

=== '''''Crafting''''' ===
As he was still making a name for himself before becoming a Warrior of Light, he would partake in the work of alchemy. He has always enjoyed the act of making elixers to assist his allies with enhancing their abilities or replenishing their vigor. As of late, William has temporarily retired the craft of alchemy simply to put other needs forward. In order for him to advance his skills of alchemy, he must learn the ways of other crafts to further his own skills. He is currently working on learning the ways of the goldsmithing, leatherworking, and smithing in order to learn the technique to self-repair his gear that is composed of such craft.

=== '''''Talents''''' ===
: ■Summoning of each egi and faerie together at a time, yet not in combat.
: ■Taught his gaelikitten to retrieve objects on command.
: ■Proficient in archery to be able to shoot three arrows at once at a target.

: “My name is William Fedorason.
: For years I have faced a major calamity with only one goal:
: To save my realm. Now others have joined with me in my company.
: To them, I am William, but to the rest of Eorzea,
: I am the Warrior of Light.”

:: -From a letter to Ser Aymeric de Borel in regards to assisting in the Dragonsong War.
=== ''Birth and childhood (0-10)'' ===
: Born William Chambers in the year 1560 of the Sixth Astral Era, he was raised within the hamlet of Hyrstmill of the northern Shroud. His parents are Solmunder Chambers, a well decorated Wood Wailer, and Athilda Chambers, a skilled conjurer for the Twin Adders. He has two older brothers, Piers Chambers, who's a moderate archer and only 9 years older, and Roderick Arrowe, his half-brother who's was a skilled archer among the Gods' Bow and now a secretary for the free company of <<VOID>>. At young age, archery interested him a great deal. His father would craft him his own bow and dulled arrows to play with. Though he was no good, he still enjoyed it no matter what. Whenever William would injure himself when he plays outside, his mother always use her skills of conjury to cure his wounds. Over time, William learned to cure on his own, but not much more conjury than that.
=== ''Adolescent Years'' ===
: As William grew, he met his now best friends in Old Gridania. At the age of eleven, he was tasked to travel to the city to pick up some seeds and tools from the Botanist's Guild to replenish his family's farm. When the guildmaster unfortunately stated there were no such seeds available for pickup, there was an Elezen kid who was also purchasing seeds who had came before him. He had noticed the despair in William's face and gave him a portion of his seeds. He had introduced himself as Brandon. Days passed and they would meet up to hang out, and William was introduced to Brandon's friends: Tyler Ultimathule, an Elezen, and Aries Xela, a Miqo'te who was typically called Alex. The four of them would become inseparable over time.
: William had minimal previous magical encounters. He once came across an altercation between the Sharlayan Circle of Knowing and a dark robed Mage. Apparently there was a surge of aetheric energy coming from near the Ehcatl 9 tribe, the docile Ixali group. William, only twelve at the time, was out gathering some firewood when the Mage confronted him. Frightened, William was cornered into a cavern. He noticed the Mage preparing to cast some magical attack, but was cut short when a Miqote conjurer, Highlander pugilist, and a Lalafellan thaumaturge confronted him. The Mage directed his attacks to hit the pugilist as some magic deflected off her and hit William instead. The conjurer came to his aid and cured his wounds. She remained by his side as the thaumaturge managed to harm the Mage. The Mage soon dissipated away. The three heroes of the hour introduced themselves as Y'shtola, Yda, and Papalymo respectively. They mentioned to William to contact them whenever there is a similar issue in the future. They dedicated there life to protecting the innocent from the forces of darkness saving the realm from calamity. From that day forward, William decided to become an adventurer and aspired to become like them, for he could discern true heroism within them.
====The Calamity Strikes====
: With word of the "Meteor Project" coming to the light of the Eorzean Alliance, the grand companies and allied free companies took up arms to defend the Carteneau Flats from the Garlean menace. William's parents both took up arms to fight with the Twin Adders. At home, William was sitting outside his cottage with his brothers watching the slow descent of the false moon. Though he and Piers never truly saw eye to eye, this may be the only time when they are united. His friends had shown up to wait out the world’s immenent demise. William felt powerless. He wanted to do something about the inevitable calamity that would affect his quaint hamlet. He saw the enormous cracks forming upon Dalamud and something spoke to him inside his head.
:: “Save them later. Be…a…hero…”
: The voice felt as if someone was echoing right behind him, yet when he turned around to check, there was only a dissipating mist. He had asked to his friends around if they heard anything nearby, but they denied. William looked back up to the falling moon as it suddenly bursts as the Dreadwyrm breaks free. William and his friends stand up in shock as Bahamut ravages the land. The first thought to pop in William’s head was the Circle of Knowing that he had met a month prior. He had hoped they would save the realm from total annihilation. William noticed the people around him either crying or standing in complete shock. He notice one man pick up his young daughter and held her tight saying “Everything will be alright sometime soon.” He could see a hunk of the false moon fall near the southern border of the North Shroud. Suddenly a flash of white bright light covers the realm. Soon after, the Dreadwyrm disappears without a trace. Eorzea, a realm reborn out of a tragic calamity, needs a hero.

====A Family in Shambles====
: It has been five hours since the disappearance of Bahamut and William and his brothers are waiting anxiously for their parents to return. It was about the middle of the night when Roderick noticed a tired man carrying a woman in his arms. He trudged toward the cottage and as the light shined on his face, it was their father with tears flooding from his eyes. Roderick yelled for Piers and William to wake up. William came immediately outside and saw his father carrying his mother in his arms. William promptly yelled for his mother to wake up. With tears trailing from his eyes, he attempted to cast Cure on her, but to no avail. He attempted to execute a spell he has been learning, Raise. For a slight moment, he had heard the voice from before, but was indistinguishable. By the grace of the Twelve, his mother's eyes opened. She was awake, but not for long. She could speak, but she was very weak. Solmunder was speechless to witness such a temporary miracle. Athilda knew she would be passing soon, so she gave each a hug and a kiss. She told them all to be well and live happy whilst urging to remain together. Her last breath passed as she took hold on to William's hand before losing her grip on her mortal coil.
: Weeks passed after the passing of Athilda and Piers took excile from his Gridanian home to move to Limsa Lominsa for a new life. With two family members being gone from the home, only Solmunder, Roderick, and William remained. Solmunder tried to remain cheerful in the times of grief, yet he is always reminded of the dreadful day of the Calamity. Rod took notice of his father's decline in strength and mobility over time. He believed it to be caused by the grief and the PTSD from the moment Athilda's life started slipping. Rod thought to move the family to start over. Within two months, the family moved out of Hyrstmill and into the Lavender Beds. Once settled in, Rod taught William archery in the yard of their new home. Needless to say, William's skills advanced fairly over time.
: Years passed and Piers returned home from his travels in Vylbrand. In that time, Piers worked part time as a bow-for-hire and fell for a Miqo'te girl. Over time, they got a house, yet she would mooch gil off of Piers and eventually kicked Piers out of "their" house for an Auri girl. Defeated, he returned home. He had found the location of the new family home and noticed William practicing archery. Piers took pride in his skills of archery and believed he should be the best archer in the family, although he does not care whether Rod was good or not for some reason. As he came around the corner, he noticed William hit a bullseye thrice in a row. Piers' resent for William was reignited. For months they would have petty competitions too see who was the better archer.
: When William was about 15, he and Piers had one of their usual archery competitions. After each round, William was always closer to the center than Piers. At a moment when William was ready to shoot his next arrow at the target, Piers yelled out that he cheats each time. As he was ranting aloud, William shrugged it off until he could no longer. Piers then accused William that he was never really loved by his mother, such that it was all out of pity. William could not hold back much longer and as he released the arrow from the bow, he immediately turned to Piers to tell him off, yet the arrow was still in the bowstring. The arrow managed to hit the bullseye, but not on the target and instead in Piers' left eye. He fell to the ground screaming and writhing in pain. Piers yelled obscenities and slurs toward William. William considered taking out his wand to cure Piers, but he fled the yard instead. He returned about 75 minutes later to the house to see Piers passed out in the living room with the arrow still in the eye. William attempted to cure the eye. As he casted the spell, he slowly remove the arrow from Piers' eye. He noticed Piers' body relax some and soon woke up. Piers woke up wondering why he felt no pain rubbing his eyes. He opened his eyes and rubbed his left eye some more. He could see out his right but not in his left. Starting to panic, he ran to a mirror nearby , nearly tripping on a stool. He looked in the mirror to see his left eye foggy. Piers was blind in his left eye. Piers screamed out in horror and blamed William that he could never practice archery again. In the morning, Piers was gone and was not heard from again, officially.

=== ''Adulthood'' ===
====The Beginnings of an Adventurer====
: At the age of sixteen, after all the years following tragedy after tragedy, William finally prepared to set off for Gridania. On the day before he sets off for an adventurer's life, he prepared his bow, one made by his father. He had wondered whether or not fame would come for him quickly as his family name is of Chambers. He does not want to easily be significant as the "Son of Solmunder Chambers". He went to his father for advice upon the matter and contemplated whether going by another name should suffice. Solmunder sat him down next to him and took his old fedora off and plopped onto William's head. He told him how he should do what he feels is right and never look back. He agreed wholeheartedly with William considering to go by another name. He even told him a little story..
:: "Aye Will, ye listen close. Once upon eh time there was eh young Lominsan lad who lived amongst eh family of ruthless 'n coldhearted killehs 'n theives. 'E was forced to join th' crew iffen 'e wants some grub and eh night's rest. 'Pon the day of 'is eighteenth nameday, 'e mustered 'is courage t' leave 'is godsforsaken home, iffen it could be called eh home. 'E took to th' ports of Limsa Lominsa 'n 'e found eh small cargo ship to th' mainland 'o Aldenard. 'E arrived en Vesper Bay where 'e could 'ear some word of eh trip to th' Shroud. Now 'e was quite skilled en the disciplines of archery 'n spearin', so Gridania was quite th' place for harnessin' 'is skills. 'E took the first journey to th' Shroud and landed en th' Adventurer's Guild. They at th' time were-eh pryin' for th' lad's name. 'E could not take aftah 'is true name, for 'e could be eithah arrested by th' Serpents or found by 'is twisted family! 'Is 'eart was racin' so 'e scrubbed off o' 'is last name for 'is new name. Chambers. See lad, for 'e was I. When I was at 'bout ye' age for even I was at ye' place. I needed t' make eh name for me-self. 'N that I did, lad. I rose the to th' tops o' ranks of th' Wailers n' I even met ye motheh. She'd be quite proud of ye decision. Take 'tis hat wit' ye wherever ye go. 'Tis nice for th' formal nights 'n even was what ye motheh noticed first of me!"
: William had not known of his father's history before the Wailers before now. He took the fancy hat and packed it in his suitcase with his other clothes. He grabbed his old wand and placed it near his bow when his brother came to see him. He had been practicing archery everyday to prepare for this moment. Rod wished him luck for his journeys ahead and urged him to never give up when things seems hard.

: ■✖Athilda Chambers née Arrowe, (Mother)
:: [[File:Athilda_Chambers.jpg|right|250px|Athilda Chambers]]
::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "My mother is my true inspiration to why I remain healing. It's what she would have wanted.."</div>
:::: Athilda was born in the streets of Ul'Dah, not knowing her true family. She would be a thief in order to get a meal, occasionaly stealing from the marketplace. One day, the grocer took notice of her actions and let the game continue for a while until she confronted her. Athilda, being scared of being arrested, attempted to run, yet was caught immediately. The grocer caught her by the Weavers' Guild and inquired about her life. She told her that she had no home, no family, and no food. Without a second thought, the grocer took her in and raised her. The grocer's name was Petra Arrowe. As she grew older, Athilda, moved to the Shroud to make a name for herself. She thanked her foster mother for everything she's done for her and stayed in touch.
::::Before her marriage to William's father, she gave birth to Roderick, William's oldest brother, yet she was rather promiscuous during her twenties, so Roderick's biological father is unknown but assumed to be a Gods' Quiver archer. Having changed her ways, she found Solmunder eight years later and fell in love and married. They had their first son together Piers and then nine years later their second son William. Athilda lived her life as conjurer for the Twin Adders. Both she and Solmunder were fighting with the Grand Companies at Cartenau against the Garlean menace before the Calamity struck. Solmunder fought valiantly and took many Garlean lives with Athilda alongside him. As they were taking out the enemy, Athilda was caught blindsided and was slew by an Imperial Laquearius. Solmunder was filled with rage and pierced the Laquearius through its heart. Solmunder survived the battle and returned home to his children after the Calamity struck and informed them of the tragic news. William took it hardest of all. Only being twelve at the time of this calamity, he was really close to his mother and she would show him conjury tricks. Whenever William heals for his party, he always thinks of his mother guiding him through to victory..

: ■Solmunder Chambers, (Father)
:: [[File:Solmunder_Chambers.jpg|right|250px|Solmunder Chambers]]
::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "My father would never let any bad situation ruin his sense of humor!"</div>
:::: Solmunder Chambers came from a terrible household in Limsa Lominsa. He was born to a family of vile pirates known as the Chamberlain Crew. He was forced to partake in villainous crimes if he was to get a meal and bed each day. When he became eighteen years of age, he mustered the courage to hitch a ship to Aldenard without saying one word to his family. He arrived in Vesper Bay and changed his name to Chambers, for slight differentiation from his family. He trekked to the Shroud in hopes to learn either archery or lancing; upon his arrival to Gridania, he learned the latter. He became skilled quickly enough for one of the Wood Wailers to take notice and suggest him to be a private among them. For many years he was an esteemed Wood Wailer and caught the eye of a fan, Athilda. They met at the Carline Canopy when Solmunder was off duty and Athilda noticed him. She approached him commending him for his valor in protecting the Shroud and immediately hit it off. They would always make jokes with each other with Solmunder always cracking horrible puns, yet Athilda laughed anyways. Athilda's nickname for Solmunder was "Sully" and although he wasn't too fond of it, it did not bother him either way; His nickname for her was Thillie and she liked it. They worked together roaming the Shroud, vanquishing any threat to Gridania with Athilda supporting Sully as he fought head-on.

:::: After the passing of his wife, Solmunder tried to keep his joy alive by providing for their children. Sully was only in his early forties yet became weak at holding his lance for long. Roderick, who was proficient at archery, joined the Gods' Bow to provide coin for the family. Sully, being grateful for Rod's generosity, officially retired his lance and stayed at home to tend to the family crops. William loved his father dearly and would always assist him when Sully is unable to move around. William talked to his father about leaving to provide even more for his family. William even mentioned desiring to change his surname to became notable for his own deeds, not his father's. Solmunder was quite the opposite of being disappointed and gave William a big hug and told him he was proud of that decision and mentioned his own story of coming to Aldenard. To this day, William provides 45 percent of his earnings to his family and visits home every now and then. His father is his inspiration for whenever William cracks a silly pun and would think of him every time he does.
: ■♦Piers Chambers, (Brother)
:: [[File:Piers_Chambers.jpg|right|250px|Piers Chambers]]
::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "Piers and I never really saw eye to eye. He always tried to rival me in archery, even when his accuracy was low.."</div>
:::: Piers is the middle child in the Chambers' family and felt he was only treated as such. He felt so much praise until William was born, and from then on he tended to resent him. William tried to show his love for his brother, but was never noticed. So he simply gave up and did not care for him. When their mother was killed in battle, there was even more disgust between the brothers. Piers always thought their mother favored William over him and he was filled with anger. Soon after, Piers left for Limsa Lominsa to get away from the family for a while. He had hoped his excile will cure his anger. In the meantime, Roderick taught William archery and became a prodigy at it. A few years passed and Piers returned home having made minor success and lost it all when he fell for a Miqo'te courtesan. He thought she truly loved him so he gave her a home in the Mist for them to live together. However, she mooched off gil after gil until she had the deed of the house and kicked him out for an Auri girl. He had but no choice to return home.

:::: Upon his return to Hyrstmill, he had noticed that the family had moved out of the hamlet and into a house in the Lavender Beds. When he found where the family was living at, he noticed William practicing archery in the yard with a target. He noticed William hit a bullseye with each shot. Piers did not like how William was better at archery than he and this refueled his anger. For the years to follow, they would pointlessly compete at archery. During one of these competitions, Piers blew a gasket and accused William of cheating everytime. William, unable to keep his cool, was about to make a shot at the target and turned to tell off Piers, but the arrow was released. The arrow flew and pierced Piers in the eye. Piers, writhing in pain screamed out obscenities toward William. William, knowing the conjury spell Cure, could have healed Piers if done immediately, but ran in fear. He came back home that night attempting to cure Piers' pain. The pain was gone, but Piers could never see in his left eye again. To this day, Piers is somewhere in Ul'Dah with his exact whereabouts unknown. William would once in a while recieve death threats from an anonymous sender, yet he could always recognize Piers' penmanship.
: ■Roderick Arrowe, (Half-Brother)
:: [[File:Roderick_Arrowe.jpg|right|250px|Roderick Arrowe]]
::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "Rod has always been a wonderful teacher in archery! We both show each other new tricks from time to time!"</div>
:::: Rod grew up never knowing who his real father was, as his mother was promiscuous when he was conceived.

=Prompts=
==F.A.Q.'s==
: ■ Does your character have siblings or family members in their age group? Which one are they closest with?
:: William’s two siblings have a big age gap from William, with Piers being 9 years older and Rod being 17 years older. William is not remotely close to Piers any way. They have had too much bad blood over the years. Rod however remains very close to William, as he first taught him archery as he became a novice. Any other relatives are unknown as his father came from a family of pirates and his mother grew up in the streets of Ul’Dah.
: ■ What is/was your character’s relationship with their mother like?
:: While she was still alive, she would always tell William stories of her adventures with his father each night as a child. William loved his mother dearly such that she is the true reason he kept healing. She taught him the basic heal Cure as a child. There were several instances where he became so flustered, he considered retiring his codex. Yet he remembered his mother would never give up in the heat of battle, so neither should he.
: ■ What is/was your character’s relationship with their father like?
:: His relationship to his father is quite as loving as his relationship to his mother! Before Rod was actually teaching William archery, it was his father who gave him his first bow and arrow set. Even thouch his father was adept lancing, he had knew archery as well. When he presented William his own set, at roughly nine years old, his father demonstrated archery to him by taking three arrows from a quiver, placing each in his bow, and accurately shot the bullseye! William’s face was filled with awe and his love for archery began. His father’s jokes also rubbed off onto William, which eventually became everyone else’s misfortune. Every cracked pun blossomed from the sole purpose to simply make everyone happy, as his father made him.
: ■ Has your character ever witnessed something that fundamentally changed them? If so, does anyone else know?
:: A year into William’s travels, having been months since he became a Warrior of Light, he was assisting the historical scholars of NOAH with emergence of the Crystal Tower. William was mainly a user of white magic and was hesitant to pick up a new skill at the time. He was tasked with preventing the realm becoming a World of Darkness. There was another healer in his group, one whose techniques differed from his own. He had not seen a healer perform abilities like these before. In duty, William took notice that their Warrior was taking too much damage at a point for William to replenish health quick enough. The Warrior got weak enough to the point where William was forced to grant him Benediction. The other healer managed to take over the main healing and was granting him aetheric shields to nullify incoming damage. William was astounded to see such a trick done in battle. After the duty was complete, he asked the other healer in the group where he learned such skills; he told him to find Alka Zolka and ask her the ways of the Nymian Scholar. Henceforth, he dedicated his following days studying the abilities of a Scholar in battle and became an adept Scholar under the great Nymian Scholar Surito Carito.
: ■ On an average day, what can be found in your character’s pockets?
:: Usually pocket lint.
: ■ What does your OC look for in a friend? Do they value friendship a lot?
:: What William finds for in a friend is someone who he is able to put his trust into, someone who he knows respects him as he to them, and someone who can put up with all of his dang shenanigans! Does he value friendship? Are chocobo couriers actually yellow chocobos splathered with tar? Yes! Friendship means everything to William and never wants to sever ties with someone he has grown see as a friend.
: ■ Is there a place they go to in order to escape the world, the stresses of life? What’s their favourite place?
:: Whenever William feels stressed from either a poor dungeon dive or surrounded by plenty of drama, he either resides within the study of his home to review over past tomes or journeys to Tailfeather to surround himself with the chocobos within their natural habitat. Either resolution renders William at peace.
: ■ What are concepts they value? Virtues? What do they look down upon?
:: William values the safety of his friends at all times within a duty. Whether he chooses to be the designated healer or a bard, he refuses to allow his party to fail, or even perish. He also values his friends above all else. As his virtues, William selects loyalty, as in to each other, and family, as in he places his family above everything else, whether it be his blood family or his friends who he looks to as a family. William looks down upon a betrayal of trust. He finds it very hard to mend broken ties, yet can turn the other cheek if necessary.
: ■Do they have a guilty conscience? Why? Did they ever do something they totally regretted?
:: William is as innocent as he’s going to get. He totally does not enact shenanigans in public as the Chocobo. What if he was the Chocobo? He would not regret it one bit. He finds it hilarious to be stared at when he conducts his weekly foray into Issom-Har in his chocobo suit. However the most shenanigans he would openly admit to would be shuffling up Sugis’ books. Yet he really needs to learn to conduct his prank while she isn’t home..
: ■ What are Tropes you associate with your muse?
:: ● Bookworm since he studies old tomes he’s collected from the Gubal Library during some of Sugis’ forays, yet while he does not have a collection of tomes to amount Sugis’, his collection sums to an estimate of sixty.
:: ● a literal Scholar, while that may be preferred healing job in duties, he tends to overly study past civilizations. He has recently taken an interest in the War of the Magi and regularly conducts expeditions to the Yafaem saltmoors for Mhach and the Wanderer’s Palace to communicate with the tonberries of Nym, if he manages to find a sane tonberry.
:: ● Chocobo.
: ■ If given a million dollars, what would your OC do?
:: “Dollars? Is that a currency? The only common currency used across Eorzea is gil, so I’ll assume the question will refer to gil.”
:: William upon given a million gil will immediately donate a quarter to his family for however his father seems fit, a quarter to his free company to fund their move from their current base of a cottage in the Lavender Beds into a mansion of appealing scenary, a quarter to the Adventurer’s Guild for showing how even a Warrior of Light can make his start with them, and the remaining quarter for himself for various luxuries for his private house (totally not decorating it fully in chocobo decor).
==Other O.C.'s Relationships==
===Sugis Kevade===
: ■"Rumor has it that William deals in shady blackmarket business what with multiplw people seeing him go into the Kevade Mansion so often...."
:: While that may appear so, his business at the mansion is strictly personal! He considers the “Void” officers friends! While Suvi is verbally annoyed by his jokes, William notices a smirk followed by disbelief upon his face. On occasion, he may give business advice, as he runs his free company. While he stays out of specific business details, he cares not for whatever “shady” business is conducted, yet refuses to get involved in actual dealings. Although on one instance, he proposed that Suvi hire William’s older brother to do some secretarial work.
: William's memories of Sugis
:: ⭐️ One memory of William remembers is the day they first met in a duty to clear the first hall of Dzemael Darkhold. William on occasion tells Sugis how he both regrets and is grateful for that encounter.
:: ⭐️ No matter what’s happening, whether it be a dangerous raid or utter nonsense, William and Sugis will not hesitate to be sarcastic and sassy to each other.
:: ⭐️ William will not step one foot inside Sugis’ house. He once did and he was frightened by the sheer number of books in her house. Her house would put the Gubal Library out of business.
:: ⭐️ How many puns does it take for William to get on Sugis’s nerves. A skele-ton. She’d punish him, but that in itself would be helping his situation.
: Sugis' memories of William
:: ⭐️ Despite a slight age gap, and the fact that Will is /technically an adult/ Sugis still treats him like a child when it comes to his safety.
:: ⭐️ Sugis quit drinking due to something that happened involving dungeon crawling, Will pressuring a drunken Ishgardian Dragoon to “Do It”, and multiple Gas Bombs.
:: ⭐️ She likes to tease him, lightheartedly, about girls and when he’s gonna start dating to fluster him.
:: ⭐️ If there was a gil for every time she shouted “You’re grounded” to Will… She’d probably be rich(er).
:: ⭐️ Sugis takes the more serious marks for hunts and mercenary related stuff because she doesn’t want to see Will get hurt.
===Riaa Alteir===
: Riaa's memories of William
:: ⭐️ Riaa thinks that William is quite silly, but she appreciates it. Most people are too serious so it’s a nice change. She especially likes the OH JEEZ
:: ⭐️ to the point now where Riaa gleefully joins in on the OH JEEZ as well. She isn’t too bothered if it’s bugging anybody, but she’s definately having fun with it, and figures if SHE’S having fun with it then William must also be having fun too and YAY FUN.
:: ⭐️ She likes his hat. Not any specific one, just all of them. (Riaa really likes the chocobo head though, she thinks it’s hilarious.)
:: ⭐️ (Weed-Lizard) After the pixie stix incident, Mariko is worried about the purity of her candy, and as such double-triple checks that it’s not got anything else in. She’s also a bit worried that William managed to get tweaked out like that. On candy. How even…?
===Darius Kinkaid===
: Darius' memories of William
:: ⭐️ Darius knows about William through his subordinate, Ringabel [Sugis]. He’s heard nothing but good things, but is convinced William lives in a constant state of thinking everyone is going to die in an instant.
:: ⭐️ Darius also believes William was a chocobo in a past life.
:: ⭐️ When they first met, them two didn’t speak much outside of momentary jokes and the like, but they both soon found out they both read stories about a fictional group of heroes. The first book in question? “Red Helm and the Vandals.” There are other books, but William is convinced Darius idolizes this “Red Helm” character. He’s not absolutely wrong.
:: ⭐️ Since finding out about his sister, Darius has attended every small party William and his Free Company has thrown. The scholar in question is the only person who knows Darius disguises himself as an entertainer in a Vanu Vanu outfit.
:: ⭐️ William is constantly forgetting who Darius is, claiming he had seen him before in outlandish roles and places. It is unknown if William just does this to try and get inside Darius’s head or if it’s honestly forgetfulness.
:: ⭐️ Darius and William finally became friends when a mishap occurred while questing. They both had said “Oh Jeez” at the same time, rendering odd looks from both parties.

:'''Logan Holden''', began life simply, living in Moraby Bay, with his father who was a fisherman, his mother who was a Yellowjacket, and his twin sister who looked very little like him. When he was nineteen years old, a voice called him away to adventure, to face a rising threat. Although originally unwilling to leave his happy and peaceful life behind, his sister urged him onwards, and together the pair became adventurers. Logan quickly adopted to the simple style of combat employed by Gladiators, and found security behind the heavy armour and shields they bore, relying on them more than agility to protect both himself and those around him. His eagerness to assist led to being noticed by the Scions of the Seventh Dawn, and he eagerly became a member.

[[File:William_Fedorason_11_06_2016_15_47_59.jpg|right|500px]]
'''Height:''' 5 fulms 9 ilms

'''Weight:''' 130 ponz

'''Complexion: ''' Fair.

'''Hair: ''' Light Brown with White dyed streaks.

'''Eyes: ''' Green.

: William's physical figure is rather average size with some musculature due to his continued training of several war disciplines. He has a scar that goes down his right side of his face, barely missing the eye. He got that scar after a run in with an Imperial Centurion.

=Behavior=
=== '''''Behavior''''' ===

=== '''''Weapons''''' ===
William is currently learning the ways of nearly all disciplines and to their advanced job. If he had the choice, he would remain healing, and would rather stay away from the battle's front. Overtime, William learned to embrace the inevitable moment of conflict and thus began apprenticing the many disciplines. Some disciplines interest William enough to even put forth more time into mastering the techniques. The weapons William uses in conflict are as follows:[[File:wf_270_scholar_relic_anabis.jpg|right|500px]]

As he was still making a name for himself before becoming a Warrior of Light, he would partake in the work of alchemy. He has always enjoyed the act of making elixers to assist his allies with enhancing their abilities or replenishing their vigor. As of late, William has temporarily retired the craft of alchemy simply to put other needs forward. In order for him to advance his skills of alchemy, he must learn the ways of other crafts to further his own skills. He is currently working on learning the ways of the goldsmithing, leatherworking, and smithing in order to learn the technique to self-repair his gear that is composed of such craft.

=Background=
: “My name is William Fedorason.
: For years I have faced a major calamity with only one goal:
: To save my realm. Now others have joined with me in my company.
: To them, I am William, but to the rest of Eorzea,
: I am the Warrior of Light.”

:: -From a letter to Ser Aymeric de Borel in regards to assisting in the Dragonsong War.
=== ''Birth and childhood (0-10)'' ===
: Born William Chambers in the year 1560 of the Sixth Astral Era, he was raised within the hamlet of Hyrstmill of the northern Shroud. His parents are Solmunder Chambers, a well decorated Wood Wailer, and Athilda Chambers, a skilled conjurer for the Twin Adders. He has two older brothers, Piers Chambers, who's a moderate archer and only 9 years older, and Roderick Arrowe, his half-brother who's was a skilled archer among the Gods' Bow and now a secretary for the free company of <<VOID>>. At young age, archery interested him a great deal. His father would craft him his own bow and dulled arrows to play with. Though he was no good, he still enjoyed it no matter what. Whenever William would injure himself when he plays outside, his mother always use her skills of conjury to cure his wounds. Over time, William learned to cure on his own, but not much more conjury than that.
=== ''Adolescent Years'' ===
: As William grew, he met his now best friends in Old Gridania. At the age of eleven, he was tasked to travel to the city to pick up some seeds and tools from the Botanist's Guild to replenish his family's farm. When the guildmaster unfortunately stated there were no such seeds available for pickup, there was an Elezen kid who was also purchasing seeds who had came before him. He had noticed the despair in William's face and gave him a portion of his seeds. He had introduced himself as Brandon. Days passed and they would meet up to hang out, and William was introduced to Brandon's friends: Tyler Ultimathule, an Elezen, and Aries Xela, a Miqo'te who was typically called Alex. The four of them would become inseparable over time.
: William had minimal previous magical encounters. He once came across an altercation between the Sharlayan Circle of Knowing and a dark robed Mage. Apparently there was a surge of aetheric energy coming from near the Ehcatl 9 tribe, the docile Ixali group. William, only twelve at the time, was out gathering some firewood when the Mage confronted him. Frightened, William was cornered into a cavern. He noticed the Mage preparing to cast some magical attack, but was cut short when a Miqote conjurer, Highlander pugilist, and a Lalafellan thaumaturge confronted him. The Mage directed his attacks to hit the pugilist as some magic deflected off her and hit William instead. The conjurer came to his aid and cured his wounds. She remained by his side as the thaumaturge managed to harm the Mage. The Mage soon dissipated away. The three heroes of the hour introduced themselves as Y'shtola, Yda, and Papalymo respectively. They mentioned to William to contact them whenever there is a similar issue in the future. They dedicated there life to protecting the innocent from the forces of darkness saving the realm from calamity. From that day forward, William decided to become an adventurer and aspired to become like them, for he could discern true heroism within them.
====The Calamity Strikes====
: With word of the "Meteor Project" coming to the light of the Eorzean Alliance, the grand companies and allied free companies took up arms to defend the Carteneau Flats from the Garlean menace. William's parents both took up arms to fight with the Twin Adders. At home, William was sitting outside his cottage with his brothers watching the slow descent of the false moon. Though he and Piers never truly saw eye to eye, this may be the only time when they are united. His friends had shown up to wait out the world’s immenent demise. William felt powerless. He wanted to do something about the inevitable calamity that would affect his quaint hamlet. He saw the enormous cracks forming upon Dalamud and something spoke to him inside his head.
:: “Save them later. Be…a…hero…”
: The voice felt as if someone was echoing right behind him, yet when he turned around to check, there was only a dissipating mist. He had asked to his friends around if they heard anything nearby, but they denied. William looked back up to the falling moon as it suddenly bursts as the Dreadwyrm breaks free. William and his friends stand up in shock as Bahamut ravages the land. The first thought to pop in William’s head was the Circle of Knowing that he had met a month prior. He had hoped they would save the realm from total annihilation. William noticed the people around him either crying or standing in complete shock. He notice one man pick up his young daughter and held her tight saying “Everything will be alright sometime soon.” He could see a hunk of the false moon fall near the southern border of the North Shroud. Suddenly a flash of white bright light covers the realm. Soon after, the Dreadwyrm disappears without a trace. Eorzea, a realm reborn out of a tragic calamity, needs a hero.

====A Family in Shambles====
: It has been five hours since the disappearance of Bahamut and William and his brothers are waiting anxiously for their parents to return. It was about the middle of the night when Roderick noticed a tired man carrying a woman in his arms. He trudged toward the cottage and as the light shined on his face, it was their father with tears flooding from his eyes. Roderick yelled for Piers and William to wake up. William came immediately outside and saw his father carrying his mother in his arms. William promptly yelled for his mother to wake up. With tears trailing from his eyes, he attempted to cast Cure on her, but to no avail. He attempted to execute a spell he has been learning, Raise. For a slight moment, he had heard the voice from before, but was indistinguishable. By the grace of the Twelve, his mother's eyes opened. She was awake, but not for long. She could speak, but she was very weak. Solmunder was speechless to witness such a temporary miracle. Athilda knew she would be passing soon, so she gave each a hug and a kiss. She told them all to be well and live happy whilst urging to remain together. Her last breath passed as she took hold on to William's hand before losing her grip on her mortal coil.
: Weeks passed after the passing of Athilda and Piers took excile from his Gridanian home to move to Limsa Lominsa for a new life. With two family members being gone from the home, only Solmunder, Roderick, and William remained. Solmunder tried to remain cheerful in the times of grief, yet he is always reminded of the dreadful day of the Calamity. Rod took notice of his father's decline in strength and mobility over time. He believed it to be caused by the grief and the PTSD from the moment Athilda's life started slipping. Rod thought to move the family to start over. Within two months, the family moved out of Hyrstmill and into the Lavender Beds. Once settled in, Rod taught William archery in the yard of their new home. Needless to say, William's skills advanced fairly over time.
: Years passed and Piers returned home from his travels in Vylbrand. In that time, Piers worked part time as a bow-for-hire and fell for a Miqo'te girl. Over time, they got a house, yet she would mooch gil off of Piers and eventually kicked Piers out of "their" house for an Auri girl. Defeated, he returned home. He had found the location of the new family home and noticed William practicing archery. Piers took pride in his skills of archery and believed he should be the best archer in the family, although he does not care whether Rod was good or not for some reason. As he came around the corner, he noticed William hit a bullseye thrice in a row. Piers' resent for William was reignited. For months they would have petty competitions too see who was the better archer.
: When William was about 15, he and Piers had one of their usual archery competitions. After each round, William was always closer to the center than Piers. At a moment when William was ready to shoot his next arrow at the target, Piers yelled out that he cheats each time. As he was ranting aloud, William shrugged it off until he could no longer. Piers then accused William that he was never really loved by his mother, such that it was all out of pity. William could not hold back much longer and as he released the arrow from the bow, he immediately turned to Piers to tell him off, yet the arrow was still in the bowstring. The arrow managed to hit the bullseye, but not on the target and instead in Piers' left eye. He fell to the ground screaming and writhing in pain. Piers yelled obscenities and slurs toward William. William considered taking out his wand to cure Piers, but he fled the yard instead. He returned about 75 minutes later to the house to see Piers passed out in the living room with the arrow still in the eye. William attempted to cure the eye. As he casted the spell, he slowly remove the arrow from Piers' eye. He noticed Piers' body relax some and soon woke up. Piers woke up wondering why he felt no pain rubbing his eyes. He opened his eyes and rubbed his left eye some more. He could see out his right but not in his left. Starting to panic, he ran to a mirror nearby , nearly tripping on a stool. He looked in the mirror to see his left eye foggy. Piers was blind in his left eye. Piers screamed out in horror and blamed William that he could never practice archery again. In the morning, Piers was gone and was not heard from again, officially.

=== ''Adulthood'' ===
====The Beginnings of an Adventurer====
: At the age of sixteen, after all the years following tragedy after tragedy, William finally prepared to set off for Gridania. On the day before he sets off for an adventurer's life, he prepared his bow, one made by his father. He had wondered whether or not fame would come for him quickly as his family name is of Chambers. He does not want to easily be significant as the "Son of Solmunder Chambers". He went to his father for advice upon the matter and contemplated whether going by another name should suffice. Solmunder sat him down next to him and took his old fedora off and plopped onto William's head. He told him how he should do what he feels is right and never look back. He agreed wholeheartedly with William considering to go by another name. He even told him a little story..
:: "Aye Will, ye listen close. Once upon eh time there was eh young Lominsan lad who lived amongst eh family of ruthless 'n coldhearted killehs 'n theives. 'E was forced to join th' crew iffen 'e wants some grub and eh night's rest. 'Pon the day of 'is eighteenth nameday, 'e mustered 'is courage t' leave 'is godsforsaken home, iffen it could be called eh home. 'E took to th' ports of Limsa Lominsa 'n 'e found eh small cargo ship to th' mainland 'o Aldenard. 'E arrived en Vesper Bay where 'e could 'ear some word of eh trip to th' Shroud. Now 'e was quite skilled en the disciplines of archery 'n spearin', so Gridania was quite th' place for harnessin' 'is skills. 'E took the first journey to th' Shroud and landed en th' Adventurer's Guild. They at th' time were-eh pryin' for th' lad's name. 'E could not take aftah 'is true name, for 'e could be eithah arrested by th' Serpents or found by 'is twisted family! 'Is 'eart was racin' so 'e scrubbed off o' 'is last name for 'is new name. Chambers. See lad, for 'e was I. When I was at 'bout ye' age for even I was at ye' place. I needed t' make eh name for me-self. 'N that I did, lad. I rose the to th' tops o' ranks of th' Wailers n' I even met ye motheh. She'd be quite proud of ye decision. Take 'tis hat wit' ye wherever ye go. 'Tis nice for th' formal nights 'n even was what ye motheh noticed first of me!"
: William had not known of his father's history before the Wailers before now. He took the fancy hat and packed it in his suitcase with his other clothes. He grabbed his old wand and placed it near his bow when his brother came to see him. He had been practicing archery everyday to prepare for this moment. Rod wished him luck for his journeys ahead and urged him to never give up when things seems hard.

::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "My mother is my true inspiration to why I remain healing. It's what she would have wanted.."</div>
:::: Athilda was born in the streets of Ul'Dah, not knowing her true family. She would be a thief in order to get a meal, occasionaly stealing from the marketplace. One day, the grocer took notice of her actions and let the game continue for a while until she confronted her. Athilda, being scared of being arrested, attempted to run, yet was caught immediately. The grocer caught her by the Weavers' Guild and inquired about her life. She told her that she had no home, no family, and no food. Without a second thought, the grocer took her in and raised her. The grocer's name was Petra Arrowe. As she grew older, Athilda, moved to the Shroud to make a name for herself. She thanked her foster mother for everything she's done for her and stayed in touch.
::::Before her marriage to William's father, she gave birth to Roderick, William's oldest brother, yet she was rather promiscuous during her twenties, so Roderick's biological father is unknown but assumed to be a Gods' Quiver archer. Having changed her ways, she found Solmunder eight years later and fell in love and married. They had their first son together Piers and then nine years later their second son William. Athilda lived her life as conjurer for the Twin Adders. Both she and Solmunder were fighting with the Grand Companies at Cartenau against the Garlean menace before the Calamity struck. Solmunder fought valiantly and took many Garlean lives with Athilda alongside him. As they were taking out the enemy, Athilda was caught blindsided and was slew by an Imperial Laquearius. Solmunder was filled with rage and pierced the Laquearius through its heart. Solmunder survived the battle and returned home to his children after the Calamity struck and informed them of the tragic news. William took it hardest of all. Only being twelve at the time of this calamity, he was really close to his mother and she would show him conjury tricks. Whenever William heals for his party, he always thinks of his mother guiding him through to victory..

:::: Solmunder Chambers came from a terrible household in Limsa Lominsa. He was born to a family of vile pirates known as the Chamberlain Crew. He was forced to partake in villainous crimes if he was to get a meal and bed each day. When he became eighteen years of age, he mustered the courage to hitch a ship to Aldenard without saying one word to his family. He arrived in Vesper Bay and changed his name to Chambers, for slight differentiation from his family. He trekked to the Shroud in hopes to learn either archery or lancing; upon his arrival to Gridania, he learned the latter. He became skilled quickly enough for one of the Wood Wailers to take notice and suggest him to be a private among them. For many years he was an esteemed Wood Wailer and caught the eye of a fan, Athilda. They met at the Carline Canopy when Solmunder was off duty and Athilda noticed him. She approached him commending him for his valor in protecting the Shroud and immediately hit it off. They would always make jokes with each other with Solmunder always cracking horrible puns, yet Athilda laughed anyways. Athilda's nickname for Solmunder was "Sully" and although he wasn't too fond of it, it did not bother him either way; His nickname for her was Thillie and she liked it. They worked together roaming the Shroud, vanquishing any threat to Gridania with Athilda supporting Sully as he fought head-on.

:::: After the passing of his wife, Solmunder tried to keep his joy alive by providing for their children. Sully was only in his early forties yet became weak at holding his lance for long. Roderick, who was proficient at archery, joined the Gods' Bow to provide coin for the family. Sully, being grateful for Rod's generosity, officially retired his lance and stayed at home to tend to the family crops. William loved his father dearly and would always assist him when Sully is unable to move around. William talked to his father about leaving to provide even more for his family. William even mentioned desiring to change his surname to became notable for his own deeds, not his father's. Solmunder was quite the opposite of being disappointed and gave William a big hug and told him he was proud of that decision and mentioned his own story of coming to Aldenard. To this day, William provides 45 percent of his earnings to his family and visits home every now and then. His father is his inspiration for whenever William cracks a silly pun and would think of him every time he does.
: ■♦Piers Chambers, (Brother)
:: [[File:Piers_Chambers.jpg|right|250px|Piers Chambers]]
::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "Piers and I never really saw eye to eye. He always tried to rival me in archery, even when his accuracy was low.."</div>
:::: Piers is the middle child in the Chambers' family and felt he was only treated as such. He felt so much praise until William was born, and from then on he tended to resent him. William tried to show his love for his brother, but was never noticed. So he simply gave up and did not care for him. When their mother was killed in battle, there was even more disgust between the brothers. Piers always thought their mother favored William over him and he was filled with anger. Soon after, Piers left for Limsa Lominsa to get away from the family for a while. He had hoped his excile will cure his anger. In the meantime, Roderick taught William archery and became a prodigy at it. A few years passed and Piers returned home having made minor success and lost it all when he fell for a Miqo'te courtesan. He thought she truly loved him so he gave her a home in the Mist for them to live together. However, she mooched off gil after gil until she had the deed of the house and kicked him out for an Auri girl. He had but no choice to return home.

:::: Upon his return to Hyrstmill, he had noticed that the family had moved out of the hamlet and into a house in the Lavender Beds. When he found where the family was living at, he noticed William practicing archery in the yard with a target. He noticed William hit a bullseye with each shot. Piers did not like how William was better at archery than he and this refueled his anger. For the years to follow, they would pointlessly compete at archery. During one of these competitions, Piers blew a gasket and accused William of cheating everytime. William, unable to keep his cool, was about to make a shot at the target and turned to tell off Piers, but the arrow was released. The arrow flew and pierced Piers in the eye. Piers, writhing in pain screamed out obscenities toward William. William, knowing the conjury spell Cure, could have healed Piers if done immediately, but ran in fear. He came back home that night attempting to cure Piers' pain. The pain was gone, but Piers could never see in his left eye again. To this day, Piers is somewhere in Ul'Dah with his exact whereabouts unknown. William would once in a while recieve death threats from an anonymous sender, yet he could always recognize Piers' penmanship.
: ■Roderick Arrowe, (Half-Brother)
:: [[File:Roderick_Arrowe.jpg|right|250px|Roderick Arrowe]]
::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "Rod has always been a wonderful teacher in archery! We both show each other new tricks from time to time!"</div>
:::: Rod grew up never knowing who his real father was, as his mother was promiscuous when he was conceived.

=Prompts=
==F.A.Q.'s==
: ■ Does your character have siblings or family members in their age group? Which one are they closest with?
:: William’s two siblings have a big age gap from William, with Piers being 9 years older and Rod being 17 years older. William is not remotely close to Piers any way. They have had too much bad blood over the years. Rod however remains very close to William, as he first taught him archery as he became a novice. Any other relatives are unknown as his father came from a family of pirates and his mother grew up in the streets of Ul’Dah.
: ■ What is/was your character’s relationship with their mother like?
:: While she was still alive, she would always tell William stories of her adventures with his father each night as a child. William loved his mother dearly such that she is the true reason he kept healing. She taught him the basic heal Cure as a child. There were several instances where he became so flustered, he considered retiring his codex. Yet he remembered his mother would never give up in the heat of battle, so neither should he.
: ■ What is/was your character’s relationship with their father like?
:: His relationship to his father is quite as loving as his relationship to his mother! Before Rod was actually teaching William archery, it was his father who gave him his first bow and arrow set. Even thouch his father was adept lancing, he had knew archery as well. When he presented William his own set, at roughly nine years old, his father demonstrated archery to him by taking three arrows from a quiver, placing each in his bow, and accurately shot the bullseye! William’s face was filled with awe and his love for archery began. His father’s jokes also rubbed off onto William, which eventually became everyone else’s misfortune. Every cracked pun blossomed from the sole purpose to simply make everyone happy, as his father made him.
: ■ Has your character ever witnessed something that fundamentally changed them? If so, does anyone else know?
:: A year into William’s travels, having been months since he became a Warrior of Light, he was assisting the historical scholars of NOAH with emergence of the Crystal Tower. William was mainly a user of white magic and was hesitant to pick up a new skill at the time. He was tasked with preventing the realm becoming a World of Darkness. There was another healer in his group, one whose techniques differed from his own. He had not seen a healer perform abilities like these before. In duty, William took notice that their Warrior was taking too much damage at a point for William to replenish health quick enough. The Warrior got weak enough to the point where William was forced to grant him Benediction. The other healer managed to take over the main healing and was granting him aetheric shields to nullify incoming damage. William was astounded to see such a trick done in battle. After the duty was complete, he asked the other healer in the group where he learned such skills; he told him to find Alka Zolka and ask her the ways of the Nymian Scholar. Henceforth, he dedicated his following days studying the abilities of a Scholar in battle and became an adept Scholar under the great Nymian Scholar Surito Carito.
: ■ On an average day, what can be found in your character’s pockets?
:: Usually pocket lint.
: ■ What does your OC look for in a friend? Do they value friendship a lot?
:: What William finds for in a friend is someone who he is able to put his trust into, someone who he knows respects him as he to them, and someone who can put up with all of his dang shenanigans! Does he value friendship? Are chocobo couriers actually yellow chocobos splathered with tar? Yes! Friendship means everything to William and never wants to sever ties with someone he has grown see as a friend.
: ■ Is there a place they go to in order to escape the world, the stresses of life? What’s their favourite place?
:: Whenever William feels stressed from either a poor dungeon dive or surrounded by plenty of drama, he either resides within the study of his home to review over past tomes or journeys to Tailfeather to surround himself with the chocobos within their natural habitat. Either resolution renders William at peace.
: ■ What are concepts they value? Virtues? What do they look down upon?
:: William values the safety of his friends at all times within a duty. Whether he chooses to be the designated healer or a bard, he refuses to allow his party to fail, or even perish. He also values his friends above all else. As his virtues, William selects loyalty, as in to each other, and family, as in he places his family above everything else, whether it be his blood family or his friends who he looks to as a family. William looks down upon a betrayal of trust. He finds it very hard to mend broken ties, yet can turn the other cheek if necessary.
: ■Do they have a guilty conscience? Why? Did they ever do something they totally regretted?
:: William is as innocent as he’s going to get. He totally does not enact shenanigans in public as the Chocobo. What if he was the Chocobo? He would not regret it one bit. He finds it hilarious to be stared at when he conducts his weekly foray into Issom-Har in his chocobo suit. However the most shenanigans he would openly admit to would be shuffling up Sugis’ books. Yet he really needs to learn to conduct his prank while she isn’t home..
: ■ What are Tropes you associate with your muse?
:: ● Bookworm since he studies old tomes he’s collected from the Gubal Library during some of Sugis’ forays, yet while he does not have a collection of tomes to amount Sugis’, his collection sums to an estimate of sixty.
:: ● a literal Scholar, while that may be preferred healing job in duties, he tends to overly study past civilizations. He has recently taken an interest in the War of the Magi and regularly conducts expeditions to the Yafaem saltmoors for Mhach and the Wanderer’s Palace to communicate with the tonberries of Nym, if he manages to find a sane tonberry.
:: ● Chocobo.
: ■ If given a million dollars, what would your OC do?
:: “Dollars? Is that a currency? The only common currency used across Eorzea is gil, so I’ll assume the question will refer to gil.”
:: William upon given a million gil will immediately donate a quarter to his family for however his father seems fit, a quarter to his free company to fund their move from their current base of a cottage in the Lavender Beds into a mansion of appealing scenary, a quarter to the Adventurer’s Guild for showing how even a Warrior of Light can make his start with them, and the remaining quarter for himself for various luxuries for his private house (totally not decorating it fully in chocobo decor).
==Other O.C.'s Relationships==
===Sugis Kevade===
: ■"Rumor has it that William deals in shady blackmarket business what with multiplw people seeing him go into the Kevade Mansion so often...."
:: While that may appear so, his business at the mansion is strictly personal! He considers the “Void” officers friends! While Suvi is verbally annoyed by his jokes, William notices a smirk followed by disbelief upon his face. On occasion, he may give business advice, as he runs his free company. While he stays out of specific business details, he cares not for whatever “shady” business is conducted, yet refuses to get involved in actual dealings. Although on one instance, he proposed that Suvi hire William’s older brother to do some secretarial work.
: William's memories of Sugis
:: ⭐️ One memory of William remembers is the day they first met in a duty to clear the first hall of Dzemael Darkhold. William on occasion tells Sugis how he both regrets and is grateful for that encounter.
:: ⭐️ No matter what’s happening, whether it be a dangerous raid or utter nonsense, William and Sugis will not hesitate to be sarcastic and sassy to each other.
:: ⭐️ William will not step one foot inside Sugis’ house. He once did and he was frightened by the sheer number of books in her house. Her house would put the Gubal Library out of business.
:: ⭐️ How many puns does it take for William to get on Sugis’s nerves. A skele-ton. She’d punish him, but that in itself would be helping his situation.
: Sugis' memories of William
:: ⭐️ Despite a slight age gap, and the fact that Will is /technically an adult/ Sugis still treats him like a child when it comes to his safety.
:: ⭐️ Sugis quit drinking due to something that happened involving dungeon crawling, Will pressuring a drunken Ishgardian Dragoon to “Do It”, and multiple Gas Bombs.
:: ⭐️ She likes to tease him, lightheartedly, about girls and when he’s gonna start dating to fluster him.
:: ⭐️ If there was a gil for every time she shouted “You’re grounded” to Will… She’d probably be rich(er).
:: ⭐️ Sugis takes the more serious marks for hunts and mercenary related stuff because she doesn’t want to see Will get hurt.
===Riaa Alteir===
: Riaa's memories of William
:: ⭐️ Riaa thinks that William is quite silly, but she appreciates it. Most people are too serious so it’s a nice change. She especially likes the OH JEEZ
:: ⭐️ to the point now where Riaa gleefully joins in on the OH JEEZ as well. She isn’t too bothered if it’s bugging anybody, but she’s definately having fun with it, and figures if SHE’S having fun with it then William must also be having fun too and YAY FUN.
:: ⭐️ She likes his hat. Not any specific one, just all of them. (Riaa really likes the chocobo head though, she thinks it’s hilarious.)
:: ⭐️ (Weed-Lizard) After the pixie stix incident, Mariko is worried about the purity of her candy, and as such double-triple checks that it’s not got anything else in. She’s also a bit worried that William managed to get tweaked out like that. On candy. How even…?
===Darius Kinkaid===
: Darius' memories of William
:: ⭐️ Darius knows about William through his subordinate, Ringabel [Sugis]. He’s heard nothing but good things, but is convinced William lives in a constant state of thinking everyone is going to die in an instant.
:: ⭐️ Darius also believes William was a chocobo in a past life.
:: ⭐️ When they first met, them two didn’t speak much outside of momentary jokes and the like, but they both soon found out they both read stories about a fictional group of heroes. The first book in question? “Red Helm and the Vandals.” There are other books, but William is convinced Darius idolizes this “Red Helm” character. He’s not absolutely wrong.
:: ⭐️ Since finding out about his sister, Darius has attended every small party William and his Free Company has thrown. The scholar in question is the only person who knows Darius disguises himself as an entertainer in a Vanu Vanu outfit.
:: ⭐️ William is constantly forgetting who Darius is, claiming he had seen him before in outlandish roles and places. It is unknown if William just does this to try and get inside Darius’s head or if it’s honestly forgetfulness.
:: ⭐️ Darius and William finally became friends when a mishap occurred while questing. They both had said “Oh Jeez” at the same time, rendering odd looks from both parties.

:'''Logan Holden''', began life simply, living in Moraby Bay, with his father who was a fisherman, his mother who was a Yellowjacket, and his twin sister who looked little like him. He grew up learning how to fish both in the rivers with a rod, as well as on the ocean with nets, as his father co-owned a small vessel alongside a Roegadyn and his Miqo'te first mate. They hired a few extra hands that would usually move on after a few years, but none left with bad blood.

'''Height:''' 5 fulms 9 ilms

'''Weight:''' 130 ponz

'''Complexion: ''' Fair.

'''Hair: ''' Light Brown with White dyed streaks.

'''Eyes: ''' Green.

: William's physical figure is rather average size with some musculature due to his continued training of several war disciplines. He has a scar that goes down his right side of his face, barely missing the eye. He got that scar after a run in with an Imperial Centurion. His other scar the left side of his face came from an Ixali encounter. William tends to sport a green painted stripe across his eyes merely for aesthetic purposes. His father would wear a similar facepaint during his younger days in the Wood Wailers.

=Behavior=

: Once someone gets comfortable, dear Thaliak save them.. William, if he believes someone is his friend, will crack puns way too often for a sane person to handle.

=== '''''Fears''''' ===
: ■ One of William's biggest fears to date are diremites. He had a near-death experience when he first began his adventuring. Currently, diremites do not bother him so much, unless he is unprepared for a diremite encounter.
: ■ Not so much a fear, but a worry: William does not want to let his friends down healing. If one of his party members become rendered unconscious, William thinks of it as letting someone die.

===Preferences===
: What does William look for in a partner? He is only interested in romantic relationship with females. He does not have too much preference into any race. He's pretty much open to any girl who's a kind and respectful person.

===Abilities/Skills===
An optional blurb about how your character looks and behaves during combat.

=== '''''Weapons''''' ===
William is currently learning the ways of nearly all disciplines and to their advanced job. If he had the choice, he would remain healing, and would rather stay away from the battle's front. Overtime, William learned to embrace the inevitable moment of conflict and thus began apprenticing the many disciplines. Some disciplines interest William enough to even put forth more time into mastering the techniques. The weapons William uses in conflict are as follows:[[File:wf_270_scholar_relic_anabis.jpg|right|500px]]
: ■ Anabasis (Scholar's anima codex)
:: Adept at Utility.
: ■ The Padjali Astrometer (Astrologian's starglobe)

:: Advanced at Utility.
: ■ a Hailstorm Grimoire (Summoner's grimoire)
:: Advanced at Utility.
: ■ Hive Musketoon (Machinist's gun)

=== '''''Magic''''' ===
Backstory on Magical Abilities
: ■Summoning of egis and faeries.
: ■Regenerative magic.
: ■Shielding magic.
: ■Embrace by the Echo
: ■Aetheric channeling

=== '''''Crafting''''' ===
As he was still making a name for himself before becoming a Warrior of Light, he would partake in the work of alchemy. He has always enjoyed the act of making elixers to assist his allies with enhancing their abilities or replenishing their vigor. As of late, William has temporarily retired the craft of alchemy simply to put other needs forward. In order for him to advance his skills of alchemy, he must learn the ways of other crafts to further his own skills. He is currently working on learning the ways of the goldsmithing, leatherworking, and smithing in order to learn the technique to self-repair his gear that is composed of such craft.

=== '''''Talents''''' ===
: ■Summoning of each egi and faerie together at a time, yet not in combat.
: ■Taught his gaelikitten to retrieve objects on command.
: ■Proficient in archery to be able to shoot three arrows at once at a target.

=Background=
: “My name is William Fedorason.
: For years I have faced a major calamity with only one goal:
: To save my realm. Now others have joined with me in my company.
: To them, I am William, but to the rest of Eorzea,
: I am the Warrior of Light.”

:: -From a letter to Ser Aymeric de Borel in regards to assisting in the Dragonsong War.
=== ''Birth and childhood (0-10)'' ===
: Born William Chambers in the year 1560 of the Sixth Astral Era, he was raised within the hamlet of Hyrstmill of the northern Shroud. His parents are Solmunder Chambers, a well decorated Wood Wailer, and Athilda Chambers, a skilled conjurer for the Twin Adders. He has two older brothers, Piers Chambers, who's a moderate archer and only 9 years older, and Roderick Arrowe, his half-brother who's was a skilled archer among the Gods' Bow and now a secretary for the free company of <<VOID>>. At young age, archery interested him a great deal. His father would craft him his own bow and dulled arrows to play with. Though he was no good, he still enjoyed it no matter what. Whenever William would injure himself when he plays outside, his mother always use her skills of conjury to cure his wounds. Over time, William learned to cure on his own, but not much more conjury than that.
=== ''Adolescent Years'' ===
: As William grew, he met his now best friends in Old Gridania. At the age of eleven, he was tasked to travel to the city to pick up some seeds and tools from the Botanist's Guild to replenish his family's farm. When the guildmaster unfortunately stated there were no such seeds available for pickup, there was an Elezen kid who was also purchasing seeds who had came before him. He had noticed the despair in William's face and gave him a portion of his seeds. He had introduced himself as Brandon. Days passed and they would meet up to hang out, and William was introduced to Brandon's friends: Tyler Ultimathule, an Elezen, and Aries Xela, a Miqo'te who was typically called Alex. The four of them would become inseparable over time.
: William had minimal previous magical encounters. He once came across an altercation between the Sharlayan Circle of Knowing and a dark robed Mage. Apparently there was a surge of aetheric energy coming from near the Ehcatl 9 tribe, the docile Ixali group. William, only twelve at the time, was out gathering some firewood when the Mage confronted him. Frightened, William was cornered into a cavern. He noticed the Mage preparing to cast some magical attack, but was cut short when a Miqote conjurer, Highlander pugilist, and a Lalafellan thaumaturge confronted him. The Mage directed his attacks to hit the pugilist as some magic deflected off her and hit William instead. The conjurer came to his aid and cured his wounds. She remained by his side as the thaumaturge managed to harm the Mage. The Mage soon dissipated away. The three heroes of the hour introduced themselves as Y'shtola, Yda, and Papalymo respectively. They mentioned to William to contact them whenever there is a similar issue in the future. They dedicated there life to protecting the innocent from the forces of darkness saving the realm from calamity. From that day forward, William decided to become an adventurer and aspired to become like them, for he could discern true heroism within them.
====The Calamity Strikes====
: With word of the "Meteor Project" coming to the light of the Eorzean Alliance, the grand companies and allied free companies took up arms to defend the Carteneau Flats from the Garlean menace. William's parents both took up arms to fight with the Twin Adders. At home, William was sitting outside his cottage with his brothers watching the slow descent of the false moon. Though he and Piers never truly saw eye to eye, this may be the only time when they are united. His friends had shown up to wait out the world’s immenent demise. William felt powerless. He wanted to do something about the inevitable calamity that would affect his quaint hamlet. He saw the enormous cracks forming upon Dalamud and something spoke to him inside his head.
:: “Save them later. Be…a…hero…”
: The voice felt as if someone was echoing right behind him, yet when he turned around to check, there was only a dissipating mist. He had asked to his friends around if they heard anything nearby, but they denied. William looked back up to the falling moon as it suddenly bursts as the Dreadwyrm breaks free. William and his friends stand up in shock as Bahamut ravages the land. The first thought to pop in William’s head was the Circle of Knowing that he had met a month prior. He had hoped they would save the realm from total annihilation. William noticed the people around him either crying or standing in complete shock. He notice one man pick up his young daughter and held her tight saying “Everything will be alright sometime soon.” He could see a hunk of the false moon fall near the southern border of the North Shroud. Suddenly a flash of white bright light covers the realm. Soon after, the Dreadwyrm disappears without a trace. Eorzea, a realm reborn out of a tragic calamity, needs a hero.

====A Family in Shambles====
: It has been five hours since the disappearance of Bahamut and William and his brothers are waiting anxiously for their parents to return. It was about the middle of the night when Roderick noticed a tired man carrying a woman in his arms. He trudged toward the cottage and as the light shined on his face, it was their father with tears flooding from his eyes. Roderick yelled for Piers and William to wake up. William came immediately outside and saw his father carrying his mother in his arms. William promptly yelled for his mother to wake up. With tears trailing from his eyes, he attempted to cast Cure on her, but to no avail. He attempted to execute a spell he has been learning, Raise. For a slight moment, he had heard the voice from before, but was indistinguishable. By the grace of the Twelve, his mother's eyes opened. She was awake, but not for long. She could speak, but she was very weak. Solmunder was speechless to witness such a temporary miracle. Athilda knew she would be passing soon, so she gave each a hug and a kiss. She told them all to be well and live happy whilst urging to remain together. Her last breath passed as she took hold on to William's hand before losing her grip on her mortal coil.
: Weeks passed after the passing of Athilda and Piers took excile from his Gridanian home to move to Limsa Lominsa for a new life. With two family members being gone from the home, only Solmunder, Roderick, and William remained. Solmunder tried to remain cheerful in the times of grief, yet he is always reminded of the dreadful day of the Calamity. Rod took notice of his father's decline in strength and mobility over time. He believed it to be caused by the grief and the PTSD from the moment Athilda's life started slipping. Rod thought to move the family to start over. Within two months, the family moved out of Hyrstmill and into the Lavender Beds. Once settled in, Rod taught William archery in the yard of their new home. Needless to say, William's skills advanced fairly over time.
: Years passed and Piers returned home from his travels in Vylbrand. In that time, Piers worked part time as a bow-for-hire and fell for a Miqo'te girl. Over time, they got a house, yet she would mooch gil off of Piers and eventually kicked Piers out of "their" house for an Auri girl. Defeated, he returned home. He had found the location of the new family home and noticed William practicing archery. Piers took pride in his skills of archery and believed he should be the best archer in the family, although he does not care whether Rod was good or not for some reason. As he came around the corner, he noticed William hit a bullseye thrice in a row. Piers' resent for William was reignited. For months they would have petty competitions too see who was the better archer.
: When William was about 15, he and Piers had one of their usual archery competitions. After each round, William was always closer to the center than Piers. At a moment when William was ready to shoot his next arrow at the target, Piers yelled out that he cheats each time. As he was ranting aloud, William shrugged it off until he could no longer. Piers then accused William that he was never really loved by his mother, such that it was all out of pity. William could not hold back much longer and as he released the arrow from the bow, he immediately turned to Piers to tell him off, yet the arrow was still in the bowstring. The arrow managed to hit the bullseye, but not on the target and instead in Piers' left eye. He fell to the ground screaming and writhing in pain. Piers yelled obscenities and slurs toward William. William considered taking out his wand to cure Piers, but he fled the yard instead. He returned about 75 minutes later to the house to see Piers passed out in the living room with the arrow still in the eye. William attempted to cure the eye. As he casted the spell, he slowly remove the arrow from Piers' eye. He noticed Piers' body relax some and soon woke up. Piers woke up wondering why he felt no pain rubbing his eyes. He opened his eyes and rubbed his left eye some more. He could see out his right but not in his left. Starting to panic, he ran to a mirror nearby , nearly tripping on a stool. He looked in the mirror to see his left eye foggy. Piers was blind in his left eye. Piers screamed out in horror and blamed William that he could never practice archery again. In the morning, Piers was gone and was not heard from again, officially.

=== ''Adulthood'' ===
====The Beginnings of an Adventurer====
: At the age of sixteen, after all the years following tragedy after tragedy, William finally prepared to set off for Gridania. On the day before he sets off for an adventurer's life, he prepared his bow, one made by his father. He had wondered whether or not fame would come for him quickly as his family name is of Chambers. He does not want to easily be significant as the "Son of Solmunder Chambers". He went to his father for advice upon the matter and contemplated whether going by another name should suffice. Solmunder sat him down next to him and took his old fedora off and plopped onto William's head. He told him how he should do what he feels is right and never look back. He agreed wholeheartedly with William considering to go by another name. He even told him a little story..
:: "Aye Will, ye listen close. Once upon eh time there was eh young Lominsan lad who lived amongst eh family of ruthless 'n coldhearted killehs 'n theives. 'E was forced to join th' crew iffen 'e wants some grub and eh night's rest. 'Pon the day of 'is eighteenth nameday, 'e mustered 'is courage t' leave 'is godsforsaken home, iffen it could be called eh home. 'E took to th' ports of Limsa Lominsa 'n 'e found eh small cargo ship to th' mainland 'o Aldenard. 'E arrived en Vesper Bay where 'e could 'ear some word of eh trip to th' Shroud. Now 'e was quite skilled en the disciplines of archery 'n spearin', so Gridania was quite th' place for harnessin' 'is skills. 'E took the first journey to th' Shroud and landed en th' Adventurer's Guild. They at th' time were-eh pryin' for th' lad's name. 'E could not take aftah 'is true name, for 'e could be eithah arrested by th' Serpents or found by 'is twisted family! 'Is 'eart was racin' so 'e scrubbed off o' 'is last name for 'is new name. Chambers. See lad, for 'e was I. When I was at 'bout ye' age for even I was at ye' place. I needed t' make eh name for me-self. 'N that I did, lad. I rose the to th' tops o' ranks of th' Wailers n' I even met ye motheh. She'd be quite proud of ye decision. Take 'tis hat wit' ye wherever ye go. 'Tis nice for th' formal nights 'n even was what ye motheh noticed first of me!"
: William had not known of his father's history before the Wailers before now. He took the fancy hat and packed it in his suitcase with his other clothes. He grabbed his old wand and placed it near his bow when his brother came to see him. He had been practicing archery everyday to prepare for this moment. Rod wished him luck for his journeys ahead and urged him to never give up when things seems hard.

: ■✖Athilda Chambers née Arrowe, (Mother)
:: [[File:Athilda_Chambers.jpg|right|250px|Athilda Chambers]]
::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "My mother is my true inspiration to why I remain healing. It's what she would have wanted.."</div>
:::: Athilda was born in the streets of Ul'Dah, not knowing her true family. She would be a thief in order to get a meal, occasionaly stealing from the marketplace. One day, the grocer took notice of her actions and let the game continue for a while until she confronted her. Athilda, being scared of being arrested, attempted to run, yet was caught immediately. The grocer caught her by the Weavers' Guild and inquired about her life. She told her that she had no home, no family, and no food. Without a second thought, the grocer took her in and raised her. The grocer's name was Petra Arrowe. As she grew older, Athilda, moved to the Shroud to make a name for herself. She thanked her foster mother for everything she's done for her and stayed in touch.
::::Before her marriage to William's father, she gave birth to Roderick, William's oldest brother, yet she was rather promiscuous during her twenties, so Roderick's biological father is unknown but assumed to be a Gods' Quiver archer. Having changed her ways, she found Solmunder eight years later and fell in love and married. They had their first son together Piers and then nine years later their second son William. Athilda lived her life as conjurer for the Twin Adders. Both she and Solmunder were fighting with the Grand Companies at Cartenau against the Garlean menace before the Calamity struck. Solmunder fought valiantly and took many Garlean lives with Athilda alongside him. As they were taking out the enemy, Athilda was caught blindsided and was slew by an Imperial Laquearius. Solmunder was filled with rage and pierced the Laquearius through its heart. Solmunder survived the battle and returned home to his children after the Calamity struck and informed them of the tragic news. William took it hardest of all. Only being twelve at the time of this calamity, he was really close to his mother and she would show him conjury tricks. Whenever William heals for his party, he always thinks of his mother guiding him through to victory..

: ■Solmunder Chambers, (Father)
:: [[File:Solmunder_Chambers.jpg|right|250px|Solmunder Chambers]]
::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "My father would never let any bad situation ruin his sense of humor!"</div>
:::: Solmunder Chambers came from a terrible household in Limsa Lominsa. He was born to a family of vile pirates known as the Chamberlain Crew. He was forced to partake in villainous crimes if he was to get a meal and bed each day. When he became eighteen years of age, he mustered the courage to hitch a ship to Aldenard without saying one word to his family. He arrived in Vesper Bay and changed his name to Chambers, for slight differentiation from his family. He trekked to the Shroud in hopes to learn either archery or lancing; upon his arrival to Gridania, he learned the latter. He became skilled quickly enough for one of the Wood Wailers to take notice and suggest him to be a private among them. For many years he was an esteemed Wood Wailer and caught the eye of a fan, Athilda. They met at the Carline Canopy when Solmunder was off duty and Athilda noticed him. She approached him commending him for his valor in protecting the Shroud and immediately hit it off. They would always make jokes with each other with Solmunder always cracking horrible puns, yet Athilda laughed anyways. Athilda's nickname for Solmunder was "Sully" and although he wasn't too fond of it, it did not bother him either way; His nickname for her was Thillie and she liked it. They worked together roaming the Shroud, vanquishing any threat to Gridania with Athilda supporting Sully as he fought head-on.

:::: After the passing of his wife, Solmunder tried to keep his joy alive by providing for their children. Sully was only in his early forties yet became weak at holding his lance for long. Roderick, who was proficient at archery, joined the Gods' Bow to provide coin for the family. Sully, being grateful for Rod's generosity, officially retired his lance and stayed at home to tend to the family crops. William loved his father dearly and would always assist him when Sully is unable to move around. William talked to his father about leaving to provide even more for his family. William even mentioned desiring to change his surname to became notable for his own deeds, not his father's. Solmunder was quite the opposite of being disappointed and gave William a big hug and told him he was proud of that decision and mentioned his own story of coming to Aldenard. To this day, William provides 45 percent of his earnings to his family and visits home every now and then. His father is his inspiration for whenever William cracks a silly pun and would think of him every time he does.
: ■♦Piers Chambers, (Brother)
:: [[File:Piers_Chambers.jpg|right|250px|Piers Chambers]]
::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "Piers and I never really saw eye to eye. He always tried to rival me in archery, even when his accuracy was low.."</div>
:::: Piers is the middle child in the Chambers' family and felt he was only treated as such. He felt so much praise until William was born, and from then on he tended to resent him. William tried to show his love for his brother, but was never noticed. So he simply gave up and did not care for him. When their mother was killed in battle, there was even more disgust between the brothers. Piers always thought their mother favored William over him and he was filled with anger. Soon after, Piers left for Limsa Lominsa to get away from the family for a while. He had hoped his excile will cure his anger. In the meantime, Roderick taught William archery and became a prodigy at it. A few years passed and Piers returned home having made minor success and lost it all when he fell for a Miqo'te courtesan. He thought she truly loved him so he gave her a home in the Mist for them to live together. However, she mooched off gil after gil until she had the deed of the house and kicked him out for an Auri girl. He had but no choice to return home.

:::: Upon his return to Hyrstmill, he had noticed that the family had moved out of the hamlet and into a house in the Lavender Beds. When he found where the family was living at, he noticed William practicing archery in the yard with a target. He noticed William hit a bullseye with each shot. Piers did not like how William was better at archery than he and this refueled his anger. For the years to follow, they would pointlessly compete at archery. During one of these competitions, Piers blew a gasket and accused William of cheating everytime. William, unable to keep his cool, was about to make a shot at the target and turned to tell off Piers, but the arrow was released. The arrow flew and pierced Piers in the eye. Piers, writhing in pain screamed out obscenities toward William. William, knowing the conjury spell Cure, could have healed Piers if done immediately, but ran in fear. He came back home that night attempting to cure Piers' pain. The pain was gone, but Piers could never see in his left eye again. To this day, Piers is somewhere in Ul'Dah with his exact whereabouts unknown. William would once in a while recieve death threats from an anonymous sender, yet he could always recognize Piers' penmanship.
: ■Roderick Arrowe, (Half-Brother)
:: [[File:Roderick_Arrowe.jpg|right|250px|Roderick Arrowe]]
::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "Rod has always been a wonderful teacher in archery! We both show each other new tricks from time to time!"</div>
:::: Rod grew up never knowing who his real father was, as his mother was promiscuous when he was conceived.

=Prompts=
==F.A.Q.'s==
: ■ Does your character have siblings or family members in their age group? Which one are they closest with?
:: William’s two siblings have a big age gap from William, with Piers being 9 years older and Rod being 17 years older. William is not remotely close to Piers any way. They have had too much bad blood over the years. Rod however remains very close to William, as he first taught him archery as he became a novice. Any other relatives are unknown as his father came from a family of pirates and his mother grew up in the streets of Ul’Dah.
: ■ What is/was your character’s relationship with their mother like?
:: While she was still alive, she would always tell William stories of her adventures with his father each night as a child. William loved his mother dearly such that she is the true reason he kept healing. She taught him the basic heal Cure as a child. There were several instances where he became so flustered, he considered retiring his codex. Yet he remembered his mother would never give up in the heat of battle, so neither should he.
: ■ What is/was your character’s relationship with their father like?
:: His relationship to his father is quite as loving as his relationship to his mother! Before Rod was actually teaching William archery, it was his father who gave him his first bow and arrow set. Even thouch his father was adept lancing, he had knew archery as well. When he presented William his own set, at roughly nine years old, his father demonstrated archery to him by taking three arrows from a quiver, placing each in his bow, and accurately shot the bullseye! William’s face was filled with awe and his love for archery began. His father’s jokes also rubbed off onto William, which eventually became everyone else’s misfortune. Every cracked pun blossomed from the sole purpose to simply make everyone happy, as his father made him.
: ■ Has your character ever witnessed something that fundamentally changed them? If so, does anyone else know?
:: A year into William’s travels, having been months since he became a Warrior of Light, he was assisting the historical scholars of NOAH with emergence of the Crystal Tower. William was mainly a user of white magic and was hesitant to pick up a new skill at the time. He was tasked with preventing the realm becoming a World of Darkness. There was another healer in his group, one whose techniques differed from his own. He had not seen a healer perform abilities like these before. In duty, William took notice that their Warrior was taking too much damage at a point for William to replenish health quick enough. The Warrior got weak enough to the point where William was forced to grant him Benediction. The other healer managed to take over the main healing and was granting him aetheric shields to nullify incoming damage. William was astounded to see such a trick done in battle. After the duty was complete, he asked the other healer in the group where he learned such skills; he told him to find Alka Zolka and ask her the ways of the Nymian Scholar. Henceforth, he dedicated his following days studying the abilities of a Scholar in battle and became an adept Scholar under the great Nymian Scholar Surito Carito.
: ■ On an average day, what can be found in your character’s pockets?
:: Usually pocket lint.
: ■ What does your OC look for in a friend? Do they value friendship a lot?
:: What William finds for in a friend is someone who he is able to put his trust into, someone who he knows respects him as he to them, and someone who can put up with all of his dang shenanigans! Does he value friendship? Are chocobo couriers actually yellow chocobos splathered with tar? Yes! Friendship means everything to William and never wants to sever ties with someone he has grown see as a friend.
: ■ Is there a place they go to in order to escape the world, the stresses of life? What’s their favourite place?
:: Whenever William feels stressed from either a poor dungeon dive or surrounded by plenty of drama, he either resides within the study of his home to review over past tomes or journeys to Tailfeather to surround himself with the chocobos within their natural habitat. Either resolution renders William at peace.
: ■ What are concepts they value? Virtues? What do they look down upon?
:: William values the safety of his friends at all times within a duty. Whether he chooses to be the designated healer or a bard, he refuses to allow his party to fail, or even perish. He also values his friends above all else. As his virtues, William selects loyalty, as in to each other, and family, as in he places his family above everything else, whether it be his blood family or his friends who he looks to as a family. William looks down upon a betrayal of trust. He finds it very hard to mend broken ties, yet can turn the other cheek if necessary.
: ■Do they have a guilty conscience? Why? Did they ever do something they totally regretted?
:: William is as innocent as he’s going to get. He totally does not enact shenanigans in public as the Chocobo. What if he was the Chocobo? He would not regret it one bit. He finds it hilarious to be stared at when he conducts his weekly foray into Issom-Har in his chocobo suit. However the most shenanigans he would openly admit to would be shuffling up Sugis’ books. Yet he really needs to learn to conduct his prank while she isn’t home..
: ■ What are Tropes you associate with your muse?
:: ● Bookworm since he studies old tomes he’s collected from the Gubal Library during some of Sugis’ forays, yet while he does not have a collection of tomes to amount Sugis’, his collection sums to an estimate of sixty.
:: ● a literal Scholar, while that may be preferred healing job in duties, he tends to overly study past civilizations. He has recently taken an interest in the War of the Magi and regularly conducts expeditions to the Yafaem saltmoors for Mhach and the Wanderer’s Palace to communicate with the tonberries of Nym, if he manages to find a sane tonberry.
:: ● Chocobo.
: ■ If given a million dollars, what would your OC do?
:: “Dollars? Is that a currency? The only common currency used across Eorzea is gil, so I’ll assume the question will refer to gil.”
:: William upon given a million gil will immediately donate a quarter to his family for however his father seems fit, a quarter to his free company to fund their move from their current base of a cottage in the Lavender Beds into a mansion of appealing scenary, a quarter to the Adventurer’s Guild for showing how even a Warrior of Light can make his start with them, and the remaining quarter for himself for various luxuries for his private house (totally not decorating it fully in chocobo decor).
==Other O.C.'s Relationships==
===Sugis Kevade===
: ■"Rumor has it that William deals in shady blackmarket business what with multiplw people seeing him go into the Kevade Mansion so often...."
:: While that may appear so, his business at the mansion is strictly personal! He considers the “Void” officers friends! While Suvi is verbally annoyed by his jokes, William notices a smirk followed by disbelief upon his face. On occasion, he may give business advice, as he runs his free company. While he stays out of specific business details, he cares not for whatever “shady” business is conducted, yet refuses to get involved in actual dealings. Although on one instance, he proposed that Suvi hire William’s older brother to do some secretarial work.
: William's memories of Sugis
:: ⭐️ One memory of William remembers is the day they first met in a duty to clear the first hall of Dzemael Darkhold. William on occasion tells Sugis how he both regrets and is grateful for that encounter.
:: ⭐️ No matter what’s happening, whether it be a dangerous raid or utter nonsense, William and Sugis will not hesitate to be sarcastic and sassy to each other.
:: ⭐️ William will not step one foot inside Sugis’ house. He once did and he was frightened by the sheer number of books in her house. Her house would put the Gubal Library out of business.
:: ⭐️ How many puns does it take for William to get on Sugis’s nerves. A skele-ton. She’d punish him, but that in itself would be helping his situation.
: Sugis' memories of William
:: ⭐️ Despite a slight age gap, and the fact that Will is /technically an adult/ Sugis still treats him like a child when it comes to his safety.
:: ⭐️ Sugis quit drinking due to something that happened involving dungeon crawling, Will pressuring a drunken Ishgardian Dragoon to “Do It”, and multiple Gas Bombs.
:: ⭐️ She likes to tease him, lightheartedly, about girls and when he’s gonna start dating to fluster him.
:: ⭐️ If there was a gil for every time she shouted “You’re grounded” to Will… She’d probably be rich(er).
:: ⭐️ Sugis takes the more serious marks for hunts and mercenary related stuff because she doesn’t want to see Will get hurt.
===Riaa Alteir===
: Riaa's memories of William
:: ⭐️ Riaa thinks that William is quite silly, but she appreciates it. Most people are too serious so it’s a nice change. She especially likes the OH JEEZ
:: ⭐️ to the point now where Riaa gleefully joins in on the OH JEEZ as well. She isn’t too bothered if it’s bugging anybody, but she’s definately having fun with it, and figures if SHE’S having fun with it then William must also be having fun too and YAY FUN.
:: ⭐️ She likes his hat. Not any specific one, just all of them. (Riaa really likes the chocobo head though, she thinks it’s hilarious.)
:: ⭐️ (Weed-Lizard) After the pixie stix incident, Mariko is worried about the purity of her candy, and as such double-triple checks that it’s not got anything else in. She’s also a bit worried that William managed to get tweaked out like that. On candy. How even…?
===Darius Kinkaid===
: Darius' memories of William
:: ⭐️ Darius knows about William through his subordinate, Ringabel [Sugis]. He’s heard nothing but good things, but is convinced William lives in a constant state of thinking everyone is going to die in an instant.
:: ⭐️ Darius also believes William was a chocobo in a past life.
:: ⭐️ When they first met, them two didn’t speak much outside of momentary jokes and the like, but they both soon found out they both read stories about a fictional group of heroes. The first book in question? “Red Helm and the Vandals.” There are other books, but William is convinced Darius idolizes this “Red Helm” character. He’s not absolutely wrong.
:: ⭐️ Since finding out about his sister, Darius has attended every small party William and his Free Company has thrown. The scholar in question is the only person who knows Darius disguises himself as an entertainer in a Vanu Vanu outfit.
:: ⭐️ William is constantly forgetting who Darius is, claiming he had seen him before in outlandish roles and places. It is unknown if William just does this to try and get inside Darius’s head or if it’s honestly forgetfulness.
:: ⭐️ Darius and William finally became friends when a mishap occurred while questing. They both had said “Oh Jeez” at the same time, rendering odd looks from both parties.

'''Height:''' 5 fulms 9 ilms

'''Weight:''' 130 ponz

'''Complexion: ''' Fair.

'''Hair: ''' Light Brown with White dyed streaks.

'''Eyes: ''' Green.

: William's physical figure is rather average size with some musculature due to his continued training of several war disciplines. He has a scar that goes down his right side of his face, barely missing the eye. He got that scar after a run in with an Imperial Centurion.

=Behavior=
=== '''''Behavior''''' ===

An optional blurb about how your character looks and behaves during combat.

=== '''''Weapons''''' ===
William is currently learning the ways of nearly all disciplines and to their advanced job. If he had the choice, he would remain healing, and would rather stay away from the battle's front. Overtime, William learned to embrace the inevitable moment of conflict and thus began apprenticing the many disciplines. Some disciplines interest William enough to even put forth more time into mastering the techniques. The weapons William uses in conflict are as follows:[[File:wf_270_scholar_relic_anabis.jpg|right|500px]]

=== '''''Crafting''''' ===
As he was still making a name for himself before becoming a Warrior of Light, he would partake in the work of alchemy. He has always enjoyed the act of making elixers to assist his allies with enhancing their abilities or replenishing their vigor. As of late, William has temporarily retired the craft of alchemy simply to put other needs forward. In order for him to advance his skills of alchemy, he must learn the ways of other crafts to further his own skills. He is currently working on learning the ways of the goldsmithing, leatherworking, and smithing in order to learn the technique to self-repair his gear that is composed of such craft.

: ■Summoning of each egi and faerie together at a time, yet not in combat.
: ■Taught his gaelikitten to retrieve objects on command.

=Background=
: “My name is William Fedorason.
: For years I have faced a major calamity with only one goal:
: To save my realm. Now others have joined with me in my company.
: To them, I am William, but to the rest of Eorzea,
: I am the Warrior of Light.”

:: -From a letter to Ser Aymeric de Borel in regards to assisting in the Dragonsong War.
=== ''Birth and childhood (0-10)'' ===
: Born William Chambers in the year 1560 of the Sixth Astral Era, he was raised within the hamlet of Hyrstmill of the northern Shroud. His parents are Solmunder Chambers, a well decorated Wood Wailer, and Athilda Chambers, a skilled conjurer for the Twin Adders. He has two older brothers, Piers Chambers, who's a moderate archer and only 9 years older, and Roderick Arrowe, his half-brother who's was a skilled archer among the Gods' Bow and now a secretary for the free company of <<VOID>>. At young age, archery interested him a great deal. His father would craft him his own bow and dulled arrows to play with. Though he was no good, he still enjoyed it no matter what. Whenever William would injure himself when he plays outside, his mother always use her skills of conjury to cure his wounds. Over time, William learned to cure on his own, but not much more conjury than that.
=== ''Adolescent Years'' ===
: As William grew, he met his now best friends in Old Gridania. At the age of eleven, he was tasked to travel to the city to pick up some seeds and tools from the Botanist's Guild to replenish his family's farm. When the guildmaster unfortunately stated there were no such seeds available for pickup, there was an Elezen kid who was also purchasing seeds who had came before him. He had noticed the despair in William's face and gave him a portion of his seeds. He had introduced himself as Brandon. Days passed and they would meet up to hang out, and William was introduced to Brandon's friends: Tyler Ultimathule, an Elezen, and Aries Xela, a Miqo'te who was typically called Alex. The four of them would become inseparable over time.
: William had minimal previous magical encounters. He once came across an altercation between the Sharlayan Circle of Knowing and a dark robed Mage. Apparently there was a surge of aetheric energy coming from near the Ehcatl 9 tribe, the docile Ixali group. William, only twelve at the time, was out gathering some firewood when the Mage confronted him. Frightened, William was cornered into a cavern. He noticed the Mage preparing to cast some magical attack, but was cut short when a Miqote conjurer, Highlander pugilist, and a Lalafellan thaumaturge confronted him. The Mage directed his attacks to hit the pugilist as some magic deflected off her and hit William instead. The conjurer came to his aid and cured his wounds. She remained by his side as the thaumaturge managed to harm the Mage. The Mage soon dissipated away. The three heroes of the hour introduced themselves as Y'shtola, Yda, and Papalymo respectively. They mentioned to William to contact them whenever there is a similar issue in the future. They dedicated there life to protecting the innocent from the forces of darkness saving the realm from calamity. From that day forward, William decided to become an adventurer and aspired to become like them, for he could discern true heroism within them.
====The Calamity Strikes====
: With word of the "Meteor Project" coming to the light of the Eorzean Alliance, the grand companies and allied free companies took up arms to defend the Carteneau Flats from the Garlean menace. William's parents both took up arms to fight with the Twin Adders. At home, William was sitting outside his cottage with his brothers watching the slow descent of the false moon. Though he and Piers never truly saw eye to eye, this may be the only time when they are united. His friends had shown up to wait out the world’s immenent demise. William felt powerless. He wanted to do something about the inevitable calamity that would affect his quaint hamlet. He saw the enormous cracks forming upon Dalamud and something spoke to him inside his head.
:: “Save them later. Be…a…hero…”
: The voice felt as if someone was echoing right behind him, yet when he turned around to check, there was only a dissipating mist. He had asked to his friends around if they heard anything nearby, but they denied. William looked back up to the falling moon as it suddenly bursts as the Dreadwyrm breaks free. William and his friends stand up in shock as Bahamut ravages the land. The first thought to pop in William’s head was the Circle of Knowing that he had met a month prior. He had hoped they would save the realm from total annihilation. William noticed the people around him either crying or standing in complete shock. He notice one man pick up his young daughter and held her tight saying “Everything will be alright sometime soon.” He could see a hunk of the false moon fall near the southern border of the North Shroud. Suddenly a flash of white bright light covers the realm. Soon after, the Dreadwyrm disappears without a trace. Eorzea, a realm reborn out of a tragic calamity, needs a hero.

====A Family in Shambles====
: It has been five hours since the disappearance of Bahamut and William and his brothers are waiting anxiously for their parents to return. It was about the middle of the night when Roderick noticed a tired man carrying a woman in his arms. He trudged toward the cottage and as the light shined on his face, it was their father with tears flooding from his eyes. Roderick yelled for Piers and William to wake up. William came immediately outside and saw his father carrying his mother in his arms. William promptly yelled for his mother to wake up. With tears trailing from his eyes, he attempted to cast Cure on her, but to no avail. He attempted to execute a spell he has been learning, Raise. For a slight moment, he had heard the voice from before, but was indistinguishable. By the grace of the Twelve, his mother's eyes opened. She was awake, but not for long. She could speak, but she was very weak. Solmunder was speechless to witness such a temporary miracle. Athilda knew she would be passing soon, so she gave each a hug and a kiss. She told them all to be well and live happy whilst urging to remain together. Her last breath passed as she took hold on to William's hand before losing her grip on her mortal coil.
: Weeks passed after the passing of Athilda and Piers took excile from his Gridanian home to move to Limsa Lominsa for a new life. With two family members being gone from the home, only Solmunder, Roderick, and William remained. Solmunder tried to remain cheerful in the times of grief, yet he is always reminded of the dreadful day of the Calamity. Rod took notice of his father's decline in strength and mobility over time. He believed it to be caused by the grief and the PTSD from the moment Athilda's life started slipping. Rod thought to move the family to start over. Within two months, the family moved out of Hyrstmill and into the Lavender Beds. Once settled in, Rod taught William archery in the yard of their new home. Needless to say, William's skills advanced fairly over time.
: Years passed and Piers returned home from his travels in Vylbrand. In that time, Piers worked part time as a bow-for-hire and fell for a Miqo'te girl. Over time, they got a house, yet she would mooch gil off of Piers and eventually kicked Piers out of "their" house for an Auri girl. Defeated, he returned home. He had found the location of the new family home and noticed William practicing archery. Piers took pride in his skills of archery and believed he should be the best archer in the family, although he does not care whether Rod was good or not for some reason. As he came around the corner, he noticed William hit a bullseye thrice in a row. Piers' resent for William was reignited. For months they would have petty competitions too see who was the better archer.
: When William was about 15, he and Piers had one of their usual archery competitions. After each round, William was always closer to the center than Piers. At a moment when William was ready to shoot his next arrow at the target, Piers yelled out that he cheats each time. As he was ranting aloud, William shrugged it off until he could no longer. Piers then accused William that he was never really loved by his mother, such that it was all out of pity. William could not hold back much longer and as he released the arrow from the bow, he immediately turned to Piers to tell him off, yet the arrow was still in the bowstring. The arrow managed to hit the bullseye, but not on the target and instead in Piers' left eye. He fell to the ground screaming and writhing in pain. Piers yelled obscenities and slurs toward William. William considered taking out his wand to cure Piers, but he fled the yard instead. He returned about 75 minutes later to the house to see Piers passed out in the living room with the arrow still in the eye. William attempted to cure the eye. As he casted the spell, he slowly remove the arrow from Piers' eye. He noticed Piers' body relax some and soon woke up. Piers woke up wondering why he felt no pain rubbing his eyes. He opened his eyes and rubbed his left eye some more. He could see out his right but not in his left. Starting to panic, he ran to a mirror nearby , nearly tripping on a stool. He looked in the mirror to see his left eye foggy. Piers was blind in his left eye. Piers screamed out in horror and blamed William that he could never practice archery again. In the morning, Piers was gone and was not heard from again, officially.

=== ''Adulthood'' ===
====The Beginnings of an Adventurer====
: At the age of sixteen, after all the years following tragedy after tragedy, William finally prepared to set off for Gridania. On the day before he sets off for an adventurer's life, he prepared his bow, one made by his father. He had wondered whether or not fame would come for him quickly as his family name is of Chambers. He does not want to easily be significant as the "Son of Solmunder Chambers". He went to his father for advice upon the matter and contemplated whether going by another name should suffice. Solmunder sat him down next to him and took his old fedora off and plopped onto William's head. He told him how he should do what he feels is right and never look back. He agreed wholeheartedly with William considering to go by another name. He even told him a little story..
:: "Aye Will, ye listen close. Once upon eh time there was eh young Lominsan lad who lived amongst eh family of ruthless 'n coldhearted killehs 'n theives. 'E was forced to join th' crew iffen 'e wants some grub and eh night's rest. 'Pon the day of 'is eighteenth nameday, 'e mustered 'is courage t' leave 'is godsforsaken home, iffen it could be called eh home. 'E took to th' ports of Limsa Lominsa 'n 'e found eh small cargo ship to th' mainland 'o Aldenard. 'E arrived en Vesper Bay where 'e could 'ear some word of eh trip to th' Shroud. Now 'e was quite skilled en the disciplines of archery 'n spearin', so Gridania was quite th' place for harnessin' 'is skills. 'E took the first journey to th' Shroud and landed en th' Adventurer's Guild. They at th' time were-eh pryin' for th' lad's name. 'E could not take aftah 'is true name, for 'e could be eithah arrested by th' Serpents or found by 'is twisted family! 'Is 'eart was racin' so 'e scrubbed off o' 'is last name for 'is new name. Chambers. See lad, for 'e was I. When I was at 'bout ye' age for even I was at ye' place. I needed t' make eh name for me-self. 'N that I did, lad. I rose the to th' tops o' ranks of th' Wailers n' I even met ye motheh. She'd be quite proud of ye decision. Take 'tis hat wit' ye wherever ye go. 'Tis nice for th' formal nights 'n even was what ye motheh noticed first of me!"
: William had not known of his father's history before the Wailers before now. He took the fancy hat and packed it in his suitcase with his other clothes. He grabbed his old wand and placed it near his bow when his brother came to see him. He had been practicing archery everyday to prepare for this moment. Rod wished him luck for his journeys ahead and urged him to never give up when things seems hard.

===Family===

: ■✖Athilda Chambers née Arrowe, (Mother)
:: [[File:Athilda_Chambers.jpg|right|250px|Athilda Chambers]]
::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "My mother is my true inspiration to why I remain healing. It's what she would have wanted.."</div>
:::: Athilda was born in the streets of Ul'Dah, not knowing her true family. She would be a thief in order to get a meal, occasionaly stealing from the marketplace. One day, the grocer took notice of her actions and let the game continue for a while until she confronted her. Athilda, being scared of being arrested, attempted to run, yet was caught immediately. The grocer caught her by the Weavers' Guild and inquired about her life. She told her that she had no home, no family, and no food. Without a second thought, the grocer took her in and raised her. The grocer's name was Petra Arrowe. As she grew older, Athilda, moved to the Shroud to make a name for herself. She thanked her foster mother for everything she's done for her and stayed in touch.
::::Before her marriage to William's father, she gave birth to Roderick, William's oldest brother, yet she was rather promiscuous during her twenties, so Roderick's biological father is unknown but assumed to be a Gods' Quiver archer. Having changed her ways, she found Solmunder eight years later and fell in love and married. They had their first son together Piers and then nine years later their second son William. Athilda lived her life as conjurer for the Twin Adders. Both she and Solmunder were fighting with the Grand Companies at Cartenau against the Garlean menace before the Calamity struck. Solmunder fought valiantly and took many Garlean lives with Athilda alongside him. As they were taking out the enemy, Athilda was caught blindsided and was slew by an Imperial Laquearius. Solmunder was filled with rage and pierced the Laquearius through its heart. Solmunder survived the battle and returned home to his children after the Calamity struck and informed them of the tragic news. William took it hardest of all. Only being twelve at the time of this calamity, he was really close to his mother and she would show him conjury tricks. Whenever William heals for his party, he always thinks of his mother guiding him through to victory..

: ■Solmunder Chambers, (Father)
:: [[File:Solmunder_Chambers.jpg|right|250px|Solmunder Chambers]]
::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "My father would never let any bad situation ruin his sense of humor!"</div>
:::: Solmunder Chambers came from a terrible household in Limsa Lominsa. He was born to a family of vile pirates known as the Chamberlain Crew. He was forced to partake in villainous crimes if he was to get a meal and bed each day. When he became eighteen years of age, he mustered the courage to hitch a ship to Aldenard without saying one word to his family. He arrived in Vesper Bay and changed his name to Chambers, for slight differentiation from his family. He trekked to the Shroud in hopes to learn either archery or lancing; upon his arrival to Gridania, he learned the latter. He became skilled quickly enough for one of the Wood Wailers to take notice and suggest him to be a private among them. For many years he was an esteemed Wood Wailer and caught the eye of a fan, Athilda. They met at the Carline Canopy when Solmunder was off duty and Athilda noticed him. She approached him commending him for his valor in protecting the Shroud and immediately hit it off. They would always make jokes with each other with Solmunder always cracking horrible puns, yet Athilda laughed anyways. Athilda's nickname for Solmunder was "Sully" and although he wasn't too fond of it, it did not bother him either way; His nickname for her was Thillie and she liked it. They worked together roaming the Shroud, vanquishing any threat to Gridania with Athilda supporting Sully as he fought head-on.

:::: After the passing of his wife, Solmunder tried to keep his joy alive by providing for their children. Sully was only in his early forties yet became weak at holding his lance for long. Roderick, who was proficient at archery, joined the Gods' Bow to provide coin for the family. Sully, being grateful for Rod's generosity, officially retired his lance and stayed at home to tend to the family crops. William loved his father dearly and would always assist him when Sully is unable to move around. William talked to his father about leaving to provide even more for his family. William even mentioned desiring to change his surname to became notable for his own deeds, not his father's. Solmunder was quite the opposite of being disappointed and gave William a big hug and told him he was proud of that decision and mentioned his own story of coming to Aldenard. To this day, William provides 45 percent of his earnings to his family and visits home every now and then. His father is his inspiration for whenever William cracks a silly pun and would think of him every time he does.
: ■♦Piers Chambers, (Brother)
:: [[File:Piers_Chambers.jpg|right|250px|Piers Chambers]]
::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "Piers and I never really saw eye to eye. He always tried to rival me in archery, even when his accuracy was low.."</div>
:::: Piers is the middle child in the Chambers' family and felt he was only treated as such. He felt so much praise until William was born, and from then on he tended to resent him. William tried to show his love for his brother, but was never noticed. So he simply gave up and did not care for him. When their mother was killed in battle, there was even more disgust between the brothers. Piers always thought their mother favored William over him and he was filled with anger. Soon after, Piers left for Limsa Lominsa to get away from the family for a while. He had hoped his excile will cure his anger. In the meantime, Roderick taught William archery and became a prodigy at it. A few years passed and Piers returned home having made minor success and lost it all when he fell for a Miqo'te courtesan. He thought she truly loved him so he gave her a home in the Mist for them to live together. However, she mooched off gil after gil until she had the deed of the house and kicked him out for an Auri girl. He had but no choice to return home.

:::: Upon his return to Hyrstmill, he had noticed that the family had moved out of the hamlet and into a house in the Lavender Beds. When he found where the family was living at, he noticed William practicing archery in the yard with a target. He noticed William hit a bullseye with each shot. Piers did not like how William was better at archery than he and this refueled his anger. For the years to follow, they would pointlessly compete at archery. During one of these competitions, Piers blew a gasket and accused William of cheating everytime. William, unable to keep his cool, was about to make a shot at the target and turned to tell off Piers, but the arrow was released. The arrow flew and pierced Piers in the eye. Piers, writhing in pain screamed out obscenities toward William. William, knowing the conjury spell Cure, could have healed Piers if done immediately, but ran in fear. He came back home that night attempting to cure Piers' pain. The pain was gone, but Piers could never see in his left eye again. To this day, Piers is somewhere in Ul'Dah with his exact whereabouts unknown. William would once in a while recieve death threats from an anonymous sender, yet he could always recognize Piers' penmanship.
: ■Roderick Arrowe, (Half-Brother)
:: [[File:Roderick_Arrowe.jpg|right|250px|Roderick Arrowe]]
::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "Rod has always been a wonderful teacher in archery! We both show each other new tricks from time to time!"</div>
:::: Rod grew up never knowing who his real father was, as his mother was promiscuous when he was conceived.

=Prompts=
==F.A.Q.'s==
: ■ Does your character have siblings or family members in their age group? Which one are they closest with?
:: William’s two siblings have a big age gap from William, with Piers being 9 years older and Rod being 17 years older. William is not remotely close to Piers any way. They have had too much bad blood over the years. Rod however remains very close to William, as he first taught him archery as he became a novice. Any other relatives are unknown as his father came from a family of pirates and his mother grew up in the streets of Ul’Dah.
: ■ What is/was your character’s relationship with their mother like?
:: While she was still alive, she would always tell William stories of her adventures with his father each night as a child. William loved his mother dearly such that she is the true reason he kept healing. She taught him the basic heal Cure as a child. There were several instances where he became so flustered, he considered retiring his codex. Yet he remembered his mother would never give up in the heat of battle, so neither should he.
: ■ What is/was your character’s relationship with their father like?
:: His relationship to his father is quite as loving as his relationship to his mother! Before Rod was actually teaching William archery, it was his father who gave him his first bow and arrow set. Even thouch his father was adept lancing, he had knew archery as well. When he presented William his own set, at roughly nine years old, his father demonstrated archery to him by taking three arrows from a quiver, placing each in his bow, and accurately shot the bullseye! William’s face was filled with awe and his love for archery began. His father’s jokes also rubbed off onto William, which eventually became everyone else’s misfortune. Every cracked pun blossomed from the sole purpose to simply make everyone happy, as his father made him.
: ■ Has your character ever witnessed something that fundamentally changed them? If so, does anyone else know?
:: A year into William’s travels, having been months since he became a Warrior of Light, he was assisting the historical scholars of NOAH with emergence of the Crystal Tower. William was mainly a user of white magic and was hesitant to pick up a new skill at the time. He was tasked with preventing the realm becoming a World of Darkness. There was another healer in his group, one whose techniques differed from his own. He had not seen a healer perform abilities like these before. In duty, William took notice that their Warrior was taking too much damage at a point for William to replenish health quick enough. The Warrior got weak enough to the point where William was forced to grant him Benediction. The other healer managed to take over the main healing and was granting him aetheric shields to nullify incoming damage. William was astounded to see such a trick done in battle. After the duty was complete, he asked the other healer in the group where he learned such skills; he told him to find Alka Zolka and ask her the ways of the Nymian Scholar. Henceforth, he dedicated his following days studying the abilities of a Scholar in battle and became an adept Scholar under the great Nymian Scholar Surito Carito.
: ■ On an average day, what can be found in your character’s pockets?
:: Usually pocket lint.
: ■ What does your OC look for in a friend? Do they value friendship a lot?
:: What William finds for in a friend is someone who he is able to put his trust into, someone who he knows respects him as he to them, and someone who can put up with all of his dang shenanigans! Does he value friendship? Are chocobo couriers actually yellow chocobos splathered with tar? Yes! Friendship means everything to William and never wants to sever ties with someone he has grown see as a friend.
: ■ Is there a place they go to in order to escape the world, the stresses of life? What’s their favourite place?
:: Whenever William feels stressed from either a poor dungeon dive or surrounded by plenty of drama, he either resides within the study of his home to review over past tomes or journeys to Tailfeather to surround himself with the chocobos within their natural habitat. Either resolution renders William at peace.
: ■ What are concepts they value? Virtues? What do they look down upon?
:: William values the safety of his friends at all times within a duty. Whether he chooses to be the designated healer or a bard, he refuses to allow his party to fail, or even perish. He also values his friends above all else. As his virtues, William selects loyalty, as in to each other, and family, as in he places his family above everything else, whether it be his blood family or his friends who he looks to as a family. William looks down upon a betrayal of trust. He finds it very hard to mend broken ties, yet can turn the other cheek if necessary.
: ■Do they have a guilty conscience? Why? Did they ever do something they totally regretted?
:: William is as innocent as he’s going to get. He totally does not enact shenanigans in public as the Chocobo. What if he was the Chocobo? He would not regret it one bit. He finds it hilarious to be stared at when he conducts his weekly foray into Issom-Har in his chocobo suit. However the most shenanigans he would openly admit to would be shuffling up Sugis’ books. Yet he really needs to learn to conduct his prank while she isn’t home..
: ■ What are Tropes you associate with your muse?
:: ● Bookworm since he studies old tomes he’s collected from the Gubal Library during some of Sugis’ forays, yet while he does not have a collection of tomes to amount Sugis’, his collection sums to an estimate of sixty.
:: ● a literal Scholar, while that may be preferred healing job in duties, he tends to overly study past civilizations. He has recently taken an interest in the War of the Magi and regularly conducts expeditions to the Yafaem saltmoors for Mhach and the Wanderer’s Palace to communicate with the tonberries of Nym, if he manages to find a sane tonberry.
:: ● Chocobo.
: ■ If given a million dollars, what would your OC do?
:: “Dollars? Is that a currency? The only common currency used across Eorzea is gil, so I’ll assume the question will refer to gil.”
:: William upon given a million gil will immediately donate a quarter to his family for however his father seems fit, a quarter to his free company to fund their move from their current base of a cottage in the Lavender Beds into a mansion of appealing scenary, a quarter to the Adventurer’s Guild for showing how even a Warrior of Light can make his start with them, and the remaining quarter for himself for various luxuries for his private house (totally not decorating it fully in chocobo decor).
==Other O.C.'s Relationships==
===Sugis Kevade===
: ■"Rumor has it that William deals in shady blackmarket business what with multiplw people seeing him go into the Kevade Mansion so often...."
:: While that may appear so, his business at the mansion is strictly personal! He considers the “Void” officers friends! While Suvi is verbally annoyed by his jokes, William notices a smirk followed by disbelief upon his face. On occasion, he may give business advice, as he runs his free company. While he stays out of specific business details, he cares not for whatever “shady” business is conducted, yet refuses to get involved in actual dealings. Although on one instance, he proposed that Suvi hire William’s older brother to do some secretarial work.
: William's memories of Sugis
:: ⭐️ One memory of William remembers is the day they first met in a duty to clear the first hall of Dzemael Darkhold. William on occasion tells Sugis how he both regrets and is grateful for that encounter.
:: ⭐️ No matter what’s happening, whether it be a dangerous raid or utter nonsense, William and Sugis will not hesitate to be sarcastic and sassy to each other.
:: ⭐️ William will not step one foot inside Sugis’ house. He once did and he was frightened by the sheer number of books in her house. Her house would put the Gubal Library out of business.
:: ⭐️ How many puns does it take for William to get on Sugis’s nerves. A skele-ton. She’d punish him, but that in itself would be helping his situation.
: Sugis' memories of William
:: ⭐️ Despite a slight age gap, and the fact that Will is /technically an adult/ Sugis still treats him like a child when it comes to his safety.
:: ⭐️ Sugis quit drinking due to something that happened involving dungeon crawling, Will pressuring a drunken Ishgardian Dragoon to “Do It”, and multiple Gas Bombs.
:: ⭐️ She likes to tease him, lightheartedly, about girls and when he’s gonna start dating to fluster him.
:: ⭐️ If there was a gil for every time she shouted “You’re grounded” to Will… She’d probably be rich(er).
:: ⭐️ Sugis takes the more serious marks for hunts and mercenary related stuff because she doesn’t want to see Will get hurt.
===Riaa Alteir===
: Riaa's memories of William
:: ⭐️ Riaa thinks that William is quite silly, but she appreciates it. Most people are too serious so it’s a nice change. She especially likes the OH JEEZ
:: ⭐️ to the point now where Riaa gleefully joins in on the OH JEEZ as well. She isn’t too bothered if it’s bugging anybody, but she’s definately having fun with it, and figures if SHE’S having fun with it then William must also be having fun too and YAY FUN.
:: ⭐️ She likes his hat. Not any specific one, just all of them. (Riaa really likes the chocobo head though, she thinks it’s hilarious.)
:: ⭐️ (Weed-Lizard) After the pixie stix incident, Mariko is worried about the purity of her candy, and as such double-triple checks that it’s not got anything else in. She’s also a bit worried that William managed to get tweaked out like that. On candy. How even…?
===Darius Kinkaid===
: Darius' memories of William
:: ⭐️ Darius knows about William through his subordinate, Ringabel [Sugis]. He’s heard nothing but good things, but is convinced William lives in a constant state of thinking everyone is going to die in an instant.
:: ⭐️ Darius also believes William was a chocobo in a past life.
:: ⭐️ When they first met, them two didn’t speak much outside of momentary jokes and the like, but they both soon found out they both read stories about a fictional group of heroes. The first book in question? “Red Helm and the Vandals.” There are other books, but William is convinced Darius idolizes this “Red Helm” character. He’s not absolutely wrong.
:: ⭐️ Since finding out about his sister, Darius has attended every small party William and his Free Company has thrown. The scholar in question is the only person who knows Darius disguises himself as an entertainer in a Vanu Vanu outfit.
:: ⭐️ William is constantly forgetting who Darius is, claiming he had seen him before in outlandish roles and places. It is unknown if William just does this to try and get inside Darius’s head or if it’s honestly forgetfulness.
:: ⭐️ Darius and William finally became friends when a mishap occurred while questing. They both had said “Oh Jeez” at the same time, rendering odd looks from both parties.

[[File:William_Fedorason_11_06_2016_15_47_59.jpg|right|500px]]
'''Height:''' 5 fulms 9 ilms

'''Weight:''' 130 ponz

'''Complexion: ''' Fair.

'''Hair: ''' Light Brown with White dyed streaks.

'''Eyes: ''' Green.

: William's physical figure is rather average size with some musculature due to his continued training of several war disciplines. He has a scar that goes down his right side of his face, barely missing the eye. He got that scar after a run in with an Imperial Centurion. His other scar the left side of his face came from an Ixali encounter. William tends to sport a green painted stripe across his eyes merely for aesthetic purposes. His father would wear a similar facepaint during his younger days in the Wood Wailers.

=Behavior=
=== '''''Behavior''''' ===

: Once someone gets comfortable, dear Thaliak save them.. William, if he believes someone is his friend, will crack puns way too often for a sane person to handle.

=== '''''Fears''''' ===
: ■ One of William's biggest fears to date are diremites. He had a near-death experience when he first began his adventuring. Currently, diremites do not bother him so much, unless he is unprepared for a diremite encounter.
: ■ Not so much a fear, but a worry: William does not want to let his friends down healing. If one of his party members become rendered unconscious, William thinks of it as letting someone die.

===Preferences===
: What does William look for in a partner? He is only interested in romantic relationship with females. He does not have too much preference into any race. He's pretty much open to any girl who's a kind and respectful person.
: Currently he is not really looking for a relationship, yet if the opportunity with a girl he's infatuated for reveals itself, he may go after it.

An optional blurb about how your character looks and behaves during combat.

=== '''''Weapons''''' ===
William is currently learning the ways of nearly all disciplines and to their advanced job. If he had the choice, he would remain healing, and would rather stay away from the battle's front. Overtime, William learned to embrace the inevitable moment of conflict and thus began apprenticing the many disciplines. Some disciplines interest William enough to even put forth more time into mastering the techniques. The weapons William uses in conflict are as follows:[[File:wf_270_scholar_relic_anabis.jpg|right|500px]]

=== '''''Magic''''' ===
Backstory on Magical Abilities
: ■Summoning of egis and faeries.
: ■Regenerative magic.
: ■Shielding magic.
: ■Embrace by the Echo
: ■Aetheric channeling

=== '''''Crafting''''' ===
As he was still making a name for himself before becoming a Warrior of Light, he would partake in the work of alchemy. He has always enjoyed the act of making elixers to assist his allies with enhancing their abilities or replenishing their vigor. As of late, William has temporarily retired the craft of alchemy simply to put other needs forward. In order for him to advance his skills of alchemy, he must learn the ways of other crafts to further his own skills. He is currently working on learning the ways of the goldsmithing, leatherworking, and smithing in order to learn the technique to self-repair his gear that is composed of such craft.

=== '''''Talents''''' ===
: ■Summoning of each egi and faerie together at a time, yet not in combat.
: ■Taught his gaelikitten to retrieve objects on command.
: ■Proficient in archery to be able to shoot three arrows at once at a target.

=Background=
: “My name is William Fedorason.
: For years I have faced a major calamity with only one goal:
: To save my realm. Now others have joined with me in my company.
: To them, I am William, but to the rest of Eorzea,
: I am the Warrior of Light.”

:: -From a letter to Ser Aymeric de Borel in regards to assisting in the Dragonsong War.
=== ''Birth and childhood (0-10)'' ===
: Born William Chambers in the year 1560 of the Sixth Astral Era, he was raised within the hamlet of Hyrstmill of the northern Shroud. His parents are Solmunder Chambers, a well decorated Wood Wailer, and Athilda Chambers, a skilled conjurer for the Twin Adders. He has two older brothers, Piers Chambers, who's a moderate archer and only 9 years older, and Roderick Arrowe, his half-brother who's was a skilled archer among the Gods' Bow and now a secretary for the free company of <<VOID>>. At young age, archery interested him a great deal. His father would craft him his own bow and dulled arrows to play with. Though he was no good, he still enjoyed it no matter what. Whenever William would injure himself when he plays outside, his mother always use her skills of conjury to cure his wounds. Over time, William learned to cure on his own, but not much more conjury than that.
=== ''Adolescent Years'' ===
: As William grew, he met his now best friends in Old Gridania. At the age of eleven, he was tasked to travel to the city to pick up some seeds and tools from the Botanist's Guild to replenish his family's farm. When the guildmaster unfortunately stated there were no such seeds available for pickup, there was an Elezen kid who was also purchasing seeds who had came before him. He had noticed the despair in William's face and gave him a portion of his seeds. He had introduced himself as Brandon. Days passed and they would meet up to hang out, and William was introduced to Brandon's friends: Tyler Ultimathule, an Elezen, and Aries Xela, a Miqo'te who was typically called Alex. The four of them would become inseparable over time.
: William had minimal previous magical encounters. He once came across an altercation between the Sharlayan Circle of Knowing and a dark robed Mage. Apparently there was a surge of aetheric energy coming from near the Ehcatl 9 tribe, the docile Ixali group. William, only twelve at the time, was out gathering some firewood when the Mage confronted him. Frightened, William was cornered into a cavern. He noticed the Mage preparing to cast some magical attack, but was cut short when a Miqote conjurer, Highlander pugilist, and a Lalafellan thaumaturge confronted him. The Mage directed his attacks to hit the pugilist as some magic deflected off her and hit William instead. The conjurer came to his aid and cured his wounds. She remained by his side as the thaumaturge managed to harm the Mage. The Mage soon dissipated away. The three heroes of the hour introduced themselves as Y'shtola, Yda, and Papalymo respectively. They mentioned to William to contact them whenever there is a similar issue in the future. They dedicated there life to protecting the innocent from the forces of darkness saving the realm from calamity. From that day forward, William decided to become an adventurer and aspired to become like them, for he could discern true heroism within them.
====The Calamity Strikes====
: With word of the "Meteor Project" coming to the light of the Eorzean Alliance, the grand companies and allied free companies took up arms to defend the Carteneau Flats from the Garlean menace. William's parents both took up arms to fight with the Twin Adders. At home, William was sitting outside his cottage with his brothers watching the slow descent of the false moon. Though he and Piers never truly saw eye to eye, this may be the only time when they are united. His friends had shown up to wait out the world’s immenent demise. William felt powerless. He wanted to do something about the inevitable calamity that would affect his quaint hamlet. He saw the enormous cracks forming upon Dalamud and something spoke to him inside his head.
:: “Save them later. Be…a…hero…”
: The voice felt as if someone was echoing right behind him, yet when he turned around to check, there was only a dissipating mist. He had asked to his friends around if they heard anything nearby, but they denied. William looked back up to the falling moon as it suddenly bursts as the Dreadwyrm breaks free. William and his friends stand up in shock as Bahamut ravages the land. The first thought to pop in William’s head was the Circle of Knowing that he had met a month prior. He had hoped they would save the realm from total annihilation. William noticed the people around him either crying or standing in complete shock. He notice one man pick up his young daughter and held her tight saying “Everything will be alright sometime soon.” He could see a hunk of the false moon fall near the southern border of the North Shroud. Suddenly a flash of white bright light covers the realm. Soon after, the Dreadwyrm disappears without a trace. Eorzea, a realm reborn out of a tragic calamity, needs a hero.

====A Family in Shambles====
: It has been five hours since the disappearance of Bahamut and William and his brothers are waiting anxiously for their parents to return. It was about the middle of the night when Roderick noticed a tired man carrying a woman in his arms. He trudged toward the cottage and as the light shined on his face, it was their father with tears flooding from his eyes. Roderick yelled for Piers and William to wake up. William came immediately outside and saw his father carrying his mother in his arms. William promptly yelled for his mother to wake up. With tears trailing from his eyes, he attempted to cast Cure on her, but to no avail. He attempted to execute a spell he has been learning, Raise. For a slight moment, he had heard the voice from before, but was indistinguishable. By the grace of the Twelve, his mother's eyes opened. She was awake, but not for long. She could speak, but she was very weak. Solmunder was speechless to witness such a temporary miracle. Athilda knew she would be passing soon, so she gave each a hug and a kiss. She told them all to be well and live happy whilst urging to remain together. Her last breath passed as she took hold on to William's hand before losing her grip on her mortal coil.
: Weeks passed after the passing of Athilda and Piers took excile from his Gridanian home to move to Limsa Lominsa for a new life. With two family members being gone from the home, only Solmunder, Roderick, and William remained. Solmunder tried to remain cheerful in the times of grief, yet he is always reminded of the dreadful day of the Calamity. Rod took notice of his father's decline in strength and mobility over time. He believed it to be caused by the grief and the PTSD from the moment Athilda's life started slipping. Rod thought to move the family to start over. Within two months, the family moved out of Hyrstmill and into the Lavender Beds. Once settled in, Rod taught William archery in the yard of their new home. Needless to say, William's skills advanced fairly over time.
: Years passed and Piers returned home from his travels in Vylbrand. In that time, Piers worked part time as a bow-for-hire and fell for a Miqo'te girl. Over time, they got a house, yet she would mooch gil off of Piers and eventually kicked Piers out of "their" house for an Auri girl. Defeated, he returned home. He had found the location of the new family home and noticed William practicing archery. Piers took pride in his skills of archery and believed he should be the best archer in the family, although he does not care whether Rod was good or not for some reason. As he came around the corner, he noticed William hit a bullseye thrice in a row. Piers' resent for William was reignited. For months they would have petty competitions too see who was the better archer.
: When William was about 15, he and Piers had one of their usual archery competitions. After each round, William was always closer to the center than Piers. At a moment when William was ready to shoot his next arrow at the target, Piers yelled out that he cheats each time. As he was ranting aloud, William shrugged it off until he could no longer. Piers then accused William that he was never really loved by his mother, such that it was all out of pity. William could not hold back much longer and as he released the arrow from the bow, he immediately turned to Piers to tell him off, yet the arrow was still in the bowstring. The arrow managed to hit the bullseye, but not on the target and instead in Piers' left eye. He fell to the ground screaming and writhing in pain. Piers yelled obscenities and slurs toward William. William considered taking out his wand to cure Piers, but he fled the yard instead. He returned about 75 minutes later to the house to see Piers passed out in the living room with the arrow still in the eye. William attempted to cure the eye. As he casted the spell, he slowly remove the arrow from Piers' eye. He noticed Piers' body relax some and soon woke up. Piers woke up wondering why he felt no pain rubbing his eyes. He opened his eyes and rubbed his left eye some more. He could see out his right but not in his left. Starting to panic, he ran to a mirror nearby , nearly tripping on a stool. He looked in the mirror to see his left eye foggy. Piers was blind in his left eye. Piers screamed out in horror and blamed William that he could never practice archery again. In the morning, Piers was gone and was not heard from again, officially.

=== ''Adulthood'' ===
====The Beginnings of an Adventurer====
: At the age of sixteen, after all the years following tragedy after tragedy, William finally prepared to set off for Gridania. On the day before he sets off for an adventurer's life, he prepared his bow, one made by his father. He had wondered whether or not fame would come for him quickly as his family name is of Chambers. He does not want to easily be significant as the "Son of Solmunder Chambers". He went to his father for advice upon the matter and contemplated whether going by another name should suffice. Solmunder sat him down next to him and took his old fedora off and plopped onto William's head. He told him how he should do what he feels is right and never look back. He agreed wholeheartedly with William considering to go by another name. He even told him a little story..
:: "Aye Will, ye listen close. Once upon eh time there was eh young Lominsan lad who lived amongst eh family of ruthless 'n coldhearted killehs 'n theives. 'E was forced to join th' crew iffen 'e wants some grub and eh night's rest. 'Pon the day of 'is eighteenth nameday, 'e mustered 'is courage t' leave 'is godsforsaken home, iffen it could be called eh home. 'E took to th' ports of Limsa Lominsa 'n 'e found eh small cargo ship to th' mainland 'o Aldenard. 'E arrived en Vesper Bay where 'e could 'ear some word of eh trip to th' Shroud. Now 'e was quite skilled en the disciplines of archery 'n spearin', so Gridania was quite th' place for harnessin' 'is skills. 'E took the first journey to th' Shroud and landed en th' Adventurer's Guild. They at th' time were-eh pryin' for th' lad's name. 'E could not take aftah 'is true name, for 'e could be eithah arrested by th' Serpents or found by 'is twisted family! 'Is 'eart was racin' so 'e scrubbed off o' 'is last name for 'is new name. Chambers. See lad, for 'e was I. When I was at 'bout ye' age for even I was at ye' place. I needed t' make eh name for me-self. 'N that I did, lad. I rose the to th' tops o' ranks of th' Wailers n' I even met ye motheh. She'd be quite proud of ye decision. Take 'tis hat wit' ye wherever ye go. 'Tis nice for th' formal nights 'n even was what ye motheh noticed first of me!"
: William had not known of his father's history before the Wailers before now. He took the fancy hat and packed it in his suitcase with his other clothes. He grabbed his old wand and placed it near his bow when his brother came to see him. He had been practicing archery everyday to prepare for this moment. Rod wished him luck for his journeys ahead and urged him to never give up when things seems hard.

===Family===

: ■✖Athilda Chambers née Arrowe, (Mother)
:: [[File:Athilda_Chambers.jpg|right|250px|Athilda Chambers]]
::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "My mother is my true inspiration to why I remain healing. It's what she would have wanted.."</div>
:::: Athilda was born in the streets of Ul'Dah, not knowing her true family. She would be a thief in order to get a meal, occasionaly stealing from the marketplace. One day, the grocer took notice of her actions and let the game continue for a while until she confronted her. Athilda, being scared of being arrested, attempted to run, yet was caught immediately. The grocer caught her by the Weavers' Guild and inquired about her life. She told her that she had no home, no family, and no food. Without a second thought, the grocer took her in and raised her. The grocer's name was Petra Arrowe. As she grew older, Athilda, moved to the Shroud to make a name for herself. She thanked her foster mother for everything she's done for her and stayed in touch.
::::Before her marriage to William's father, she gave birth to Roderick, William's oldest brother, yet she was rather promiscuous during her twenties, so Roderick's biological father is unknown but assumed to be a Gods' Quiver archer. Having changed her ways, she found Solmunder eight years later and fell in love and married. They had their first son together Piers and then nine years later their second son William. Athilda lived her life as conjurer for the Twin Adders. Both she and Solmunder were fighting with the Grand Companies at Cartenau against the Garlean menace before the Calamity struck. Solmunder fought valiantly and took many Garlean lives with Athilda alongside him. As they were taking out the enemy, Athilda was caught blindsided and was slew by an Imperial Laquearius. Solmunder was filled with rage and pierced the Laquearius through its heart. Solmunder survived the battle and returned home to his children after the Calamity struck and informed them of the tragic news. William took it hardest of all. Only being twelve at the time of this calamity, he was really close to his mother and she would show him conjury tricks. Whenever William heals for his party, he always thinks of his mother guiding him through to victory..

: ■Solmunder Chambers, (Father)
:: [[File:Solmunder_Chambers.jpg|right|250px|Solmunder Chambers]]
::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "My father would never let any bad situation ruin his sense of humor!"</div>
:::: Solmunder Chambers came from a terrible household in Limsa Lominsa. He was born to a family of vile pirates known as the Chamberlain Crew. He was forced to partake in villainous crimes if he was to get a meal and bed each day. When he became eighteen years of age, he mustered the courage to hitch a ship to Aldenard without saying one word to his family. He arrived in Vesper Bay and changed his name to Chambers, for slight differentiation from his family. He trekked to the Shroud in hopes to learn either archery or lancing; upon his arrival to Gridania, he learned the latter. He became skilled quickly enough for one of the Wood Wailers to take notice and suggest him to be a private among them. For many years he was an esteemed Wood Wailer and caught the eye of a fan, Athilda. They met at the Carline Canopy when Solmunder was off duty and Athilda noticed him. She approached him commending him for his valor in protecting the Shroud and immediately hit it off. They would always make jokes with each other with Solmunder always cracking horrible puns, yet Athilda laughed anyways. Athilda's nickname for Solmunder was "Sully" and although he wasn't too fond of it, it did not bother him either way; His nickname for her was Thillie and she liked it. They worked together roaming the Shroud, vanquishing any threat to Gridania with Athilda supporting Sully as he fought head-on.

:::: After the passing of his wife, Solmunder tried to keep his joy alive by providing for their children. Sully was only in his early forties yet became weak at holding his lance for long. Roderick, who was proficient at archery, joined the Gods' Bow to provide coin for the family. Sully, being grateful for Rod's generosity, officially retired his lance and stayed at home to tend to the family crops. William loved his father dearly and would always assist him when Sully is unable to move around. William talked to his father about leaving to provide even more for his family. William even mentioned desiring to change his surname to became notable for his own deeds, not his father's. Solmunder was quite the opposite of being disappointed and gave William a big hug and told him he was proud of that decision and mentioned his own story of coming to Aldenard. To this day, William provides 45 percent of his earnings to his family and visits home every now and then. His father is his inspiration for whenever William cracks a silly pun and would think of him every time he does.
: ■♦Piers Chambers, (Brother)
:: [[File:Piers_Chambers.jpg|right|250px|Piers Chambers]]
::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "Piers and I never really saw eye to eye. He always tried to rival me in archery, even when his accuracy was low.."</div>
:::: Piers is the middle child in the Chambers' family and felt he was only treated as such. He felt so much praise until William was born, and from then on he tended to resent him. William tried to show his love for his brother, but was never noticed. So he simply gave up and did not care for him. When their mother was killed in battle, there was even more disgust between the brothers. Piers always thought their mother favored William over him and he was filled with anger. Soon after, Piers left for Limsa Lominsa to get away from the family for a while. He had hoped his excile will cure his anger. In the meantime, Roderick taught William archery and became a prodigy at it. A few years passed and Piers returned home having made minor success and lost it all when he fell for a Miqo'te courtesan. He thought she truly loved him so he gave her a home in the Mist for them to live together. However, she mooched off gil after gil until she had the deed of the house and kicked him out for an Auri girl. He had but no choice to return home.

:::: Upon his return to Hyrstmill, he had noticed that the family had moved out of the hamlet and into a house in the Lavender Beds. When he found where the family was living at, he noticed William practicing archery in the yard with a target. He noticed William hit a bullseye with each shot. Piers did not like how William was better at archery than he and this refueled his anger. For the years to follow, they would pointlessly compete at archery. During one of these competitions, Piers blew a gasket and accused William of cheating everytime. William, unable to keep his cool, was about to make a shot at the target and turned to tell off Piers, but the arrow was released. The arrow flew and pierced Piers in the eye. Piers, writhing in pain screamed out obscenities toward William. William, knowing the conjury spell Cure, could have healed Piers if done immediately, but ran in fear. He came back home that night attempting to cure Piers' pain. The pain was gone, but Piers could never see in his left eye again. To this day, Piers is somewhere in Ul'Dah with his exact whereabouts unknown. William would once in a while recieve death threats from an anonymous sender, yet he could always recognize Piers' penmanship.
: ■Roderick Arrowe, (Half-Brother)
:: [[File:Roderick_Arrowe.jpg|right|250px|Roderick Arrowe]]
::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "Rod has always been a wonderful teacher in archery! We both show each other new tricks from time to time!"</div>
:::: Rod grew up never knowing who his real father was, as his mother was promiscuous when he was conceived.

=Prompts=
==F.A.Q.'s==
: ■ Does your character have siblings or family members in their age group? Which one are they closest with?
:: William’s two siblings have a big age gap from William, with Piers being 9 years older and Rod being 17 years older. William is not remotely close to Piers any way. They have had too much bad blood over the years. Rod however remains very close to William, as he first taught him archery as he became a novice. Any other relatives are unknown as his father came from a family of pirates and his mother grew up in the streets of Ul’Dah.
: ■ What is/was your character’s relationship with their mother like?
:: While she was still alive, she would always tell William stories of her adventures with his father each night as a child. William loved his mother dearly such that she is the true reason he kept healing. She taught him the basic heal Cure as a child. There were several instances where he became so flustered, he considered retiring his codex. Yet he remembered his mother would never give up in the heat of battle, so neither should he.
: ■ What is/was your character’s relationship with their father like?
:: His relationship to his father is quite as loving as his relationship to his mother! Before Rod was actually teaching William archery, it was his father who gave him his first bow and arrow set. Even thouch his father was adept lancing, he had knew archery as well. When he presented William his own set, at roughly nine years old, his father demonstrated archery to him by taking three arrows from a quiver, placing each in his bow, and accurately shot the bullseye! William’s face was filled with awe and his love for archery began. His father’s jokes also rubbed off onto William, which eventually became everyone else’s misfortune. Every cracked pun blossomed from the sole purpose to simply make everyone happy, as his father made him.
: ■ Has your character ever witnessed something that fundamentally changed them? If so, does anyone else know?
:: A year into William’s travels, having been months since he became a Warrior of Light, he was assisting the historical scholars of NOAH with emergence of the Crystal Tower. William was mainly a user of white magic and was hesitant to pick up a new skill at the time. He was tasked with preventing the realm becoming a World of Darkness. There was another healer in his group, one whose techniques differed from his own. He had not seen a healer perform abilities like these before. In duty, William took notice that their Warrior was taking too much damage at a point for William to replenish health quick enough. The Warrior got weak enough to the point where William was forced to grant him Benediction. The other healer managed to take over the main healing and was granting him aetheric shields to nullify incoming damage. William was astounded to see such a trick done in battle. After the duty was complete, he asked the other healer in the group where he learned such skills; he told him to find Alka Zolka and ask her the ways of the Nymian Scholar. Henceforth, he dedicated his following days studying the abilities of a Scholar in battle and became an adept Scholar under the great Nymian Scholar Surito Carito.
: ■ On an average day, what can be found in your character’s pockets?
:: Usually pocket lint.
: ■ What does your OC look for in a friend? Do they value friendship a lot?
:: What William finds for in a friend is someone who he is able to put his trust into, someone who he knows respects him as he to them, and someone who can put up with all of his dang shenanigans! Does he value friendship? Are chocobo couriers actually yellow chocobos splathered with tar? Yes! Friendship means everything to William and never wants to sever ties with someone he has grown see as a friend.
: ■ Is there a place they go to in order to escape the world, the stresses of life? What’s their favourite place?
:: Whenever William feels stressed from either a poor dungeon dive or surrounded by plenty of drama, he either resides within the study of his home to review over past tomes or journeys to Tailfeather to surround himself with the chocobos within their natural habitat. Either resolution renders William at peace.
: ■ What are concepts they value? Virtues? What do they look down upon?
:: William values the safety of his friends at all times within a duty. Whether he chooses to be the designated healer or a bard, he refuses to allow his party to fail, or even perish. He also values his friends above all else. As his virtues, William selects loyalty, as in to each other, and family, as in he places his family above everything else, whether it be his blood family or his friends who he looks to as a family. William looks down upon a betrayal of trust. He finds it very hard to mend broken ties, yet can turn the other cheek if necessary.
: ■Do they have a guilty conscience? Why? Did they ever do something they totally regretted?
:: William is as innocent as he’s going to get. He totally does not enact shenanigans in public as the Chocobo. What if he was the Chocobo? He would not regret it one bit. He finds it hilarious to be stared at when he conducts his weekly foray into Issom-Har in his chocobo suit. However the most shenanigans he would openly admit to would be shuffling up Sugis’ books. Yet he really needs to learn to conduct his prank while she isn’t home..
: ■ What are Tropes you associate with your muse?
:: ● Bookworm since he studies old tomes he’s collected from the Gubal Library during some of Sugis’ forays, yet while he does not have a collection of tomes to amount Sugis’, his collection sums to an estimate of sixty.
:: ● a literal Scholar, while that may be preferred healing job in duties, he tends to overly study past civilizations. He has recently taken an interest in the War of the Magi and regularly conducts expeditions to the Yafaem saltmoors for Mhach and the Wanderer’s Palace to communicate with the tonberries of Nym, if he manages to find a sane tonberry.
:: ● Chocobo.
: ■ If given a million dollars, what would your OC do?
:: “Dollars? Is that a currency? The only common currency used across Eorzea is gil, so I’ll assume the question will refer to gil.”
:: William upon given a million gil will immediately donate a quarter to his family for however his father seems fit, a quarter to his free company to fund their move from their current base of a cottage in the Lavender Beds into a mansion of appealing scenary, a quarter to the Adventurer’s Guild for showing how even a Warrior of Light can make his start with them, and the remaining quarter for himself for various luxuries for his private house (totally not decorating it fully in chocobo decor).
==Other O.C.'s Relationships==
===Sugis Kevade===
: ■"Rumor has it that William deals in shady blackmarket business what with multiplw people seeing him go into the Kevade Mansion so often...."
:: While that may appear so, his business at the mansion is strictly personal! He considers the “Void” officers friends! While Suvi is verbally annoyed by his jokes, William notices a smirk followed by disbelief upon his face. On occasion, he may give business advice, as he runs his free company. While he stays out of specific business details, he cares not for whatever “shady” business is conducted, yet refuses to get involved in actual dealings. Although on one instance, he proposed that Suvi hire William’s older brother to do some secretarial work.
: William's memories of Sugis
:: ⭐️ One memory of William remembers is the day they first met in a duty to clear the first hall of Dzemael Darkhold. William on occasion tells Sugis how he both regrets and is grateful for that encounter.
:: ⭐️ No matter what’s happening, whether it be a dangerous raid or utter nonsense, William and Sugis will not hesitate to be sarcastic and sassy to each other.
:: ⭐️ William will not step one foot inside Sugis’ house. He once did and he was frightened by the sheer number of books in her house. Her house would put the Gubal Library out of business.
:: ⭐️ How many puns does it take for William to get on Sugis’s nerves. A skele-ton. She’d punish him, but that in itself would be helping his situation.
: Sugis' memories of William
:: ⭐️ Despite a slight age gap, and the fact that Will is /technically an adult/ Sugis still treats him like a child when it comes to his safety.
:: ⭐️ Sugis quit drinking due to something that happened involving dungeon crawling, Will pressuring a drunken Ishgardian Dragoon to “Do It”, and multiple Gas Bombs.
:: ⭐️ She likes to tease him, lightheartedly, about girls and when he’s gonna start dating to fluster him.
:: ⭐️ If there was a gil for every time she shouted “You’re grounded” to Will… She’d probably be rich(er).
:: ⭐️ Sugis takes the more serious marks for hunts and mercenary related stuff because she doesn’t want to see Will get hurt.
===Riaa Alteir===
: Riaa's memories of William
:: ⭐️ Riaa thinks that William is quite silly, but she appreciates it. Most people are too serious so it’s a nice change. She especially likes the OH JEEZ
:: ⭐️ to the point now where Riaa gleefully joins in on the OH JEEZ as well. She isn’t too bothered if it’s bugging anybody, but she’s definately having fun with it, and figures if SHE’S having fun with it then William must also be having fun too and YAY FUN.
:: ⭐️ She likes his hat. Not any specific one, just all of them. (Riaa really likes the chocobo head though, she thinks it’s hilarious.)
:: ⭐️ (Weed-Lizard) After the pixie stix incident, Mariko is worried about the purity of her candy, and as such double-triple checks that it’s not got anything else in. She’s also a bit worried that William managed to get tweaked out like that. On candy. How even…?
===Darius Kinkaid===
: Darius' memories of William
:: ⭐️ Darius knows about William through his subordinate, Ringabel [Sugis]. He’s heard nothing but good things, but is convinced William lives in a constant state of thinking everyone is going to die in an instant.
:: ⭐️ Darius also believes William was a chocobo in a past life.
:: ⭐️ When they first met, them two didn’t speak much outside of momentary jokes and the like, but they both soon found out they both read stories about a fictional group of heroes. The first book in question? “Red Helm and the Vandals.” There are other books, but William is convinced Darius idolizes this “Red Helm” character. He’s not absolutely wrong.
:: ⭐️ Since finding out about his sister, Darius has attended every small party William and his Free Company has thrown. The scholar in question is the only person who knows Darius disguises himself as an entertainer in a Vanu Vanu outfit.
:: ⭐️ William is constantly forgetting who Darius is, claiming he had seen him before in outlandish roles and places. It is unknown if William just does this to try and get inside Darius’s head or if it’s honestly forgetfulness.
:: ⭐️ Darius and William finally became friends when a mishap occurred while questing. They both had said “Oh Jeez” at the same time, rendering odd looks from both parties.

: I STOLE THIS FROM SOMEONE ELSE I'M WORKING ON FIXING IT AND CREDITING I GOT PERMISSION '''William Fedorason''', better known as Will, was born on the 22nd Sun of the 4th Umbral Moon. William is currently an eighteen year old Midlander who aspires to be the best adventurer for Eorzea’s chance to fight back the Garlean Empire. He is a high-ranking member of the Scions of the Seventh Dawn. He is the founder of the Mercenaries of the Silver. William originally arrived in Gridania in hopes of fortune while spreading goodness throughout the realm through at least one person at a time. He comes from a Midlander family from Hyrstmill within the North Shroud. He left home when he was about seventeen years of age to provide some money for his family and make some coin for himself and promised his family he will be safe. He initially took up archery to execute his plans swiftly and agilely. His surname of Fedorason differs that from his family's name of Chambers due to his father being a well-known lancer among the Wood Wailers. William desired to make a name for himself without the help of his family name. His father Solmunder realized the name change and is proud of him to become his own person. William usually is found at either his free company estate working on paperwork or his own cottage relaxing after saving Eorzea from harm after more than one occasion

'''Height:''' 5 fulms 9 ilms

'''Weight:''' 130 ponz

'''Complexion: ''' Fair.

'''Hair: ''' Light Brown with White dyed streaks.

'''Eyes: ''' Green.

: William's physical figure is rather average size with some musculature due to his continued training of several war disciplines. He has a scar that goes down his right side of his face, barely missing the eye. He got that scar after a run in with an Imperial Centurion.

=Behavior=
=== '''''Behavior''''' ===

=== '''''Weapons''''' ===
William is currently learning the ways of nearly all disciplines and to their advanced job. If he had the choice, he would remain healing, and would rather stay away from the battle's front. Overtime, William learned to embrace the inevitable moment of conflict and thus began apprenticing the many disciplines. Some disciplines interest William enough to even put forth more time into mastering the techniques. The weapons William uses in conflict are as follows:[[File:wf_270_scholar_relic_anabis.jpg|right|500px]]

As of late, William has temporarily retired the craft of alchemy simply to put other needs forward. In order for him to advance his skills of alchemy, he must learn the ways of other crafts to further his own skills.

=Background=
: “My name is William Fedorason.
: For years I have faced a major calamity with only one goal:
: To save my realm. Now others have joined with me in my company.
: To them, I am William, but to the rest of Eorzea,
: I am the Warrior of Light.”

:: -From a letter to Ser Aymeric de Borel in regards to assisting in the Dragonsong War.
=== ''Birth and childhood (0-10)'' ===
: Born William Chambers in the year 1560 of the Sixth Astral Era, he was raised within the hamlet of Hyrstmill of the northern Shroud. His parents are Solmunder Chambers, a well decorated Wood Wailer, and Athilda Chambers, a skilled conjurer for the Twin Adders. He has two older brothers, Piers Chambers, who's a moderate archer and only 9 years older, and Roderick Arrowe, his half-brother who's was a skilled archer among the Gods' Bow and now a secretary for the free company of <<VOID>>. At young age, archery interested him a great deal. His father would craft him his own bow and dulled arrows to play with. Though he was no good, he still enjoyed it no matter what. Whenever William would injure himself when he plays outside, his mother always use her skills of conjury to cure his wounds. Over time, William learned to cure on his own, but not much more conjury than that.
=== ''Adolescent Years'' ===
: As William grew, he met his now best friends in Old Gridania. At the age of eleven, he was tasked to travel to the city to pick up some seeds and tools from the Botanist's Guild to replenish his family's farm. When the guildmaster unfortunately stated there were no such seeds available for pickup, there was an Elezen kid who was also purchasing seeds who had came before him. He had noticed the despair in William's face and gave him a portion of his seeds. He had introduced himself as Brandon. Days passed and they would meet up to hang out, and William was introduced to Brandon's friends: Tyler Ultimathule, an Elezen, and Aries Xela, a Miqo'te who was typically called Alex. The four of them would become inseparable over time.
: William had minimal previous magical encounters. He once came across an altercation between the Sharlayan Circle of Knowing and a dark robed Mage. Apparently there was a surge of aetheric energy coming from near the Ehcatl 9 tribe, the docile Ixali group. William, only twelve at the time, was out gathering some firewood when the Mage confronted him. Frightened, William was cornered into a cavern. He noticed the Mage preparing to cast some magical attack, but was cut short when a Miqote conjurer, Highlander pugilist, and a Lalafellan thaumaturge confronted him. The Mage directed his attacks to hit the pugilist as some magic deflected off her and hit William instead. The conjurer came to his aid and cured his wounds. She remained by his side as the thaumaturge managed to harm the Mage. The Mage soon dissipated away. The three heroes of the hour introduced themselves as Y'shtola, Yda, and Papalymo respectively. They mentioned to William to contact them whenever there is a similar issue in the future. They dedicated there life to protecting the innocent from the forces of darkness saving the realm from calamity. From that day forward, William decided to become an adventurer and aspired to become like them, for he could discern true heroism within them.
====The Calamity Strikes====
: With word of the "Meteor Project" coming to the light of the Eorzean Alliance, the grand companies and allied free companies took up arms to defend the Carteneau Flats from the Garlean menace. William's parents both took up arms to fight with the Twin Adders. At home, William was sitting outside his cottage with his brothers watching the slow descent of the false moon. Though he and Piers never truly saw eye to eye, this may be the only time when they are united. His friends had shown up to wait out the world’s immenent demise. William felt powerless. He wanted to do something about the inevitable calamity that would affect his quaint hamlet. He saw the enormous cracks forming upon Dalamud and something spoke to him inside his head.
:: “Save them later. Be…a…hero…”
: The voice felt as if someone was echoing right behind him, yet when he turned around to check, there was only a dissipating mist. He had asked to his friends around if they heard anything nearby, but they denied. William looked back up to the falling moon as it suddenly bursts as the Dreadwyrm breaks free. William and his friends stand up in shock as Bahamut ravages the land. The first thought to pop in William’s head was the Circle of Knowing that he had met a month prior. He had hoped they would save the realm from total annihilation. William noticed the people around him either crying or standing in complete shock. He notice one man pick up his young daughter and held her tight saying “Everything will be alright sometime soon.” He could see a hunk of the false moon fall near the southern border of the North Shroud. Suddenly a flash of white bright light covers the realm. Soon after, the Dreadwyrm disappears without a trace. Eorzea, a realm reborn out of a tragic calamity, needs a hero.

====A Family in Shambles====
: It has been five hours since the disappearance of Bahamut and William and his brothers are waiting anxiously for their parents to return. It was about the middle of the night when Roderick noticed a tired man carrying a woman in his arms. He trudged toward the cottage and as the light shined on his face, it was their father with tears flooding from his eyes. Roderick yelled for Piers and William to wake up. William came immediately outside and saw his father carrying his mother in his arms. William promptly yelled for his mother to wake up. With tears trailing from his eyes, he attempted to cast Cure on her, but to no avail. He attempted to execute a spell he has been learning, Raise. For a slight moment, he had heard the voice from before, but was indistinguishable. By the grace of the Twelve, his mother's eyes opened. She was awake, but not for long. She could speak, but she was very weak. Solmunder was speechless to witness such a temporary miracle. Athilda knew she would be passing soon, so she gave each a hug and a kiss. She told them all to be well and live happy whilst urging to remain together. Her last breath passed as she took hold on to William's hand before losing her grip on her mortal coil.
: Weeks passed after the passing of Athilda and Piers took excile from his Gridanian home to move to Limsa Lominsa for a new life. With two family members being gone from the home, only Solmunder, Roderick, and William remained. Solmunder tried to remain cheerful in the times of grief, yet he is always reminded of the dreadful day of the Calamity. Rod took notice of his father's decline in strength and mobility over time. He believed it to be caused by the grief and the PTSD from the moment Athilda's life started slipping. Rod thought to move the family to start over. Within two months, the family moved out of Hyrstmill and into the Lavender Beds. Once settled in, Rod taught William archery in the yard of their new home. Needless to say, William's skills advanced fairly over time.
: Years passed and Piers returned home from his travels in Vylbrand. In that time, Piers worked part time as a bow-for-hire and fell for a Miqo'te girl. Over time, they got a house, yet she would mooch gil off of Piers and eventually kicked Piers out of "their" house for an Auri girl. Defeated, he returned home. He had found the location of the new family home and noticed William practicing archery. Piers took pride in his skills of archery and believed he should be the best archer in the family, although he does not care whether Rod was good or not for some reason. As he came around the corner, he noticed William hit a bullseye thrice in a row. Piers' resent for William was reignited. For months they would have petty competitions too see who was the better archer.
: When William was about 15, he and Piers had one of their usual archery competitions. After each round, William was always closer to the center than Piers. At a moment when William was ready to shoot his next arrow at the target, Piers yelled out that he cheats each time. As he was ranting aloud, William shrugged it off until he could no longer. Piers then accused William that he was never really loved by his mother, such that it was all out of pity. William could not hold back much longer and as he released the arrow from the bow, he immediately turned to Piers to tell him off, yet the arrow was still in the bowstring. The arrow managed to hit the bullseye, but not on the target and instead in Piers' left eye. He fell to the ground screaming and writhing in pain. Piers yelled obscenities and slurs toward William. William considered taking out his wand to cure Piers, but he fled the yard instead. He returned about 75 minutes later to the house to see Piers passed out in the living room with the arrow still in the eye. William attempted to cure the eye. As he casted the spell, he slowly remove the arrow from Piers' eye. He noticed Piers' body relax some and soon woke up. Piers woke up wondering why he felt no pain rubbing his eyes. He opened his eyes and rubbed his left eye some more. He could see out his right but not in his left. Starting to panic, he ran to a mirror nearby , nearly tripping on a stool. He looked in the mirror to see his left eye foggy. Piers was blind in his left eye. Piers screamed out in horror and blamed William that he could never practice archery again. In the morning, Piers was gone and was not heard from again, officially.

=== ''Adulthood'' ===
====The Beginnings of an Adventurer====
: At the age of sixteen, after all the years following tragedy after tragedy, William finally prepared to set off for Gridania. On the day before he sets off for an adventurer's life, he prepared his bow, one made by his father. He had wondered whether or not fame would come for him quickly as his family name is of Chambers. He does not want to easily be significant as the "Son of Solmunder Chambers". He went to his father for advice upon the matter and contemplated whether going by another name should suffice. Solmunder sat him down next to him and took his old fedora off and plopped onto William's head. He told him how he should do what he feels is right and never look back. He agreed wholeheartedly with William considering to go by another name. He even told him a little story..
:: "Aye Will, ye listen close. Once upon eh time there was eh young Lominsan lad who lived amongst eh family of ruthless 'n coldhearted killehs 'n theives. 'E was forced to join th' crew iffen 'e wants some grub and eh night's rest. 'Pon the day of 'is eighteenth nameday, 'e mustered 'is courage t' leave 'is godsforsaken home, iffen it could be called eh home. 'E took to th' ports of Limsa Lominsa 'n 'e found eh small cargo ship to th' mainland 'o Aldenard. 'E arrived en Vesper Bay where 'e could 'ear some word of eh trip to th' Shroud. Now 'e was quite skilled en the disciplines of archery 'n spearin', so Gridania was quite th' place for harnessin' 'is skills. 'E took the first journey to th' Shroud and landed en th' Adventurer's Guild. They at th' time were-eh pryin' for th' lad's name. 'E could not take aftah 'is true name, for 'e could be eithah arrested by th' Serpents or found by 'is twisted family! 'Is 'eart was racin' so 'e scrubbed off o' 'is last name for 'is new name. Chambers. See lad, for 'e was I. When I was at 'bout ye' age for even I was at ye' place. I needed t' make eh name for me-self. 'N that I did, lad. I rose the to th' tops o' ranks of th' Wailers n' I even met ye motheh. She'd be quite proud of ye decision. Take 'tis hat wit' ye wherever ye go. 'Tis nice for th' formal nights 'n even was what ye motheh noticed first of me!"
: William had not known of his father's history before the Wailers before now. He took the fancy hat and packed it in his suitcase with his other clothes. He grabbed his old wand and placed it near his bow when his brother came to see him. He had been practicing archery everyday to prepare for this moment. Rod wished him luck for his journeys ahead and urged him to never give up when things seems hard.

::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "My mother is my true inspiration to why I remain healing. It's what she would have wanted.."</div>
:::: Athilda was born in the streets of Ul'Dah, not knowing her true family. She would be a thief in order to get a meal, occasionaly stealing from the marketplace. One day, the grocer took notice of her actions and let the game continue for a while until she confronted her. Athilda, being scared of being arrested, attempted to run, yet was caught immediately. The grocer caught her by the Weavers' Guild and inquired about her life. She told her that she had no home, no family, and no food. Without a second thought, the grocer took her in and raised her. The grocer's name was Petra Arrowe. As she grew older, Athilda, moved to the Shroud to make a name for herself. She thanked her foster mother for everything she's done for her and stayed in touch.
::::Before her marriage to William's father, she gave birth to Roderick, William's oldest brother, yet she was rather promiscuous during her twenties, so Roderick's biological father is unknown but assumed to be a Gods' Quiver archer. Having changed her ways, she found Solmunder eight years later and fell in love and married. They had their first son together Piers and then nine years later their second son William. Athilda lived her life as conjurer for the Twin Adders. Both she and Solmunder were fighting with the Grand Companies at Cartenau against the Garlean menace before the Calamity struck. Solmunder fought valiantly and took many Garlean lives with Athilda alongside him. As they were taking out the enemy, Athilda was caught blindsided and was slew by an Imperial Laquearius. Solmunder was filled with rage and pierced the Laquearius through its heart. Solmunder survived the battle and returned home to his children after the Calamity struck and informed them of the tragic news. William took it hardest of all. Only being twelve at the time of this calamity, he was really close to his mother and she would show him conjury tricks. Whenever William heals for his party, he always thinks of his mother guiding him through to victory..

::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "My father would never let any bad situation ruin his sense of humor!"</div>
:::: Solmunder Chambers came from a terrible household in Limsa Lominsa. He was born to a family of vile pirates known as the Chamberlain Crew. He was forced to partake in villainous crimes if he was to get a meal and bed each day. When he became eighteen years of age, he mustered the courage to hitch a ship to Aldenard without saying one word to his family. He arrived in Vesper Bay and changed his name to Chambers, for slight differentiation from his family. He trekked to the Shroud in hopes to learn either archery or lancing; upon his arrival to Gridania, he learned the latter. He became skilled quickly enough for one of the Wood Wailers to take notice and suggest him to be a private among them. For many years he was an esteemed Wood Wailer and caught the eye of a fan, Athilda. They met at the Carline Canopy when Solmunder was off duty and Athilda noticed him. She approached him commending him for his valor in protecting the Shroud and immediately hit it off. They would always make jokes with each other with Solmunder always cracking horrible puns, yet Athilda laughed anyways. Athilda's nickname for Solmunder was "Sully" and although he wasn't too fond of it, it did not bother him either way; His nickname for her was Thillie and she liked it. They worked together roaming the Shroud, vanquishing any threat to Gridania with Athilda supporting Sully as he fought head-on.

:::: After the passing of his wife, Solmunder tried to keep his joy alive by providing for their children. Sully was only in his early forties yet became weak at holding his lance for long. Roderick, who was proficient at archery, joined the Gods' Bow to provide coin for the family. Sully, being grateful for Rod's generosity, officially retired his lance and stayed at home to tend to the family crops. William loved his father dearly and would always assist him when Sully is unable to move around. William talked to his father about leaving to provide even more for his family. William even mentioned desiring to change his surname to became notable for his own deeds, not his father's. Solmunder was quite the opposite of being disappointed and gave William a big hug and told him he was proud of that decision and mentioned his own story of coming to Aldenard. To this day, William provides 45 percent of his earnings to his family and visits home every now and then. His father is his inspiration for whenever William cracks a silly pun and would think of him every time he does.
: ■♦Piers Chambers, (Brother)
:: [[File:Piers_Chambers.jpg|right|250px|Piers Chambers]]
::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "Piers and I never really saw eye to eye. He always tried to rival me in archery, even when his accuracy was low.."</div>
:::: Piers is the middle child in the Chambers' family and felt he was only treated as such. He felt so much praise until William was born, and from then on he tended to resent him. William tried to show his love for his brother, but was never noticed. So he simply gave up and did not care for him. When their mother was killed in battle, there was even more disgust between the brothers. Piers always thought their mother favored William over him and he was filled with anger. Soon after, Piers left for Limsa Lominsa to get away from the family for a while. He had hoped his excile will cure his anger. In the meantime, Roderick taught William archery and became a prodigy at it. A few years passed and Piers returned home having made minor success and lost it all when he fell for a Miqo'te courtesan. He thought she truly loved him so he gave her a home in the Mist for them to live together. However, she mooched off gil after gil until she had the deed of the house and kicked him out for an Auri girl. He had but no choice to return home.

:::: Upon his return to Hyrstmill, he had noticed that the family had moved out of the hamlet and into a house in the Lavender Beds. When he found where the family was living at, he noticed William practicing archery in the yard with a target. He noticed William hit a bullseye with each shot. Piers did not like how William was better at archery than he and this refueled his anger. For the years to follow, they would pointlessly compete at archery. During one of these competitions, Piers blew a gasket and accused William of cheating everytime. William, unable to keep his cool, was about to make a shot at the target and turned to tell off Piers, but the arrow was released. The arrow flew and pierced Piers in the eye. Piers, writhing in pain screamed out obscenities toward William. William, knowing the conjury spell Cure, could have healed Piers if done immediately, but ran in fear. He came back home that night attempting to cure Piers' pain. The pain was gone, but Piers could never see in his left eye again. To this day, Piers is somewhere in Ul'Dah with his exact whereabouts unknown. William would once in a while recieve death threats from an anonymous sender, yet he could always recognize Piers' penmanship.
: ■Roderick Arrowe, (Half-Brother)
:: [[File:Roderick_Arrowe.jpg|right|250px|Roderick Arrowe]]
::: <div style="font-family:Trebuchet MS; font-size:14px">William’s Thoughts: "Rod has always been a wonderful teacher in archery! We both show each other new tricks from time to time!"</div>
:::: Rod grew up never knowing who his real father was, as his mother was promiscuous when he was conceived.

==F.A.Q.'s==
: ■ Does your character have siblings or family members in their age group? Which one are they closest with?
:: William’s two siblings have a big age gap from William, with Piers being 9 years older and Rod being 17 years older. William is not remotely close to Piers any way. They have had too much bad blood over the years. Rod however remains very close to William, as he first taught him archery as he became a novice. Any other relatives are unknown as his father came from a family of pirates and his mother grew up in the streets of Ul’Dah.
: ■ What is/was your character’s relationship with their mother like?
:: While she was still alive, she would always tell William stories of her adventures with his father each night as a child. William loved his mother dearly such that she is the true reason he kept healing. She taught him the basic heal Cure as a child. There were several instances where he became so flustered, he considered retiring his codex. Yet he remembered his mother would never give up in the heat of battle, so neither should he.
: ■ What is/was your character’s relationship with their father like?
:: His relationship to his father is quite as loving as his relationship to his mother! Before Rod was actually teaching William archery, it was his father who gave him his first bow and arrow set. Even thouch his father was adept lancing, he had knew archery as well. When he presented William his own set, at roughly nine years old, his father demonstrated archery to him by taking three arrows from a quiver, placing each in his bow, and accurately shot the bullseye! William’s face was filled with awe and his love for archery began. His father’s jokes also rubbed off onto William, which eventually became everyone else’s misfortune. Every cracked pun blossomed from the sole purpose to simply make everyone happy, as his father made him.
: ■ Has your character ever witnessed something that fundamentally changed them? If so, does anyone else know?
:: A year into William’s travels, having been months since he became a Warrior of Light, he was assisting the historical scholars of NOAH with emergence of the Crystal Tower. William was mainly a user of white magic and was hesitant to pick up a new skill at the time. He was tasked with preventing the realm becoming a World of Darkness. There was another healer in his group, one whose techniques differed from his own. He had not seen a healer perform abilities like these before. In duty, William took notice that their Warrior was taking too much damage at a point for William to replenish health quick enough. The Warrior got weak enough to the point where William was forced to grant him Benediction. The other healer managed to take over the main healing and was granting him aetheric shields to nullify incoming damage. William was astounded to see such a trick done in battle. After the duty was complete, he asked the other healer in the group where he learned such skills; he told him to find Alka Zolka and ask her the ways of the Nymian Scholar. Henceforth, he dedicated his following days studying the abilities of a Scholar in battle and became an adept Scholar under the great Nymian Scholar Surito Carito.
: ■ On an average day, what can be found in your character’s pockets?
:: Usually pocket lint.
: ■ What does your OC look for in a friend? Do they value friendship a lot?
:: What William finds for in a friend is someone who he is able to put his trust into, someone who he knows respects him as he to them, and someone who can put up with all of his dang shenanigans! Does he value friendship? Are chocobo couriers actually yellow chocobos splathered with tar? Yes! Friendship means everything to William and never wants to sever ties with someone he has grown see as a friend.
: ■ Is there a place they go to in order to escape the world, the stresses of life? What’s their favourite place?
:: Whenever William feels stressed from either a poor dungeon dive or surrounded by plenty of drama, he either resides within the study of his home to review over past tomes or journeys to Tailfeather to surround himself with the chocobos within their natural habitat. Either resolution renders William at peace.
: ■ What are concepts they value? Virtues? What do they look down upon?
:: William values the safety of his friends at all times within a duty. Whether he chooses to be the designated healer or a bard, he refuses to allow his party to fail, or even perish. He also values his friends above all else. As his virtues, William selects loyalty, as in to each other, and family, as in he places his family above everything else, whether it be his blood family or his friends who he looks to as a family. William looks down upon a betrayal of trust. He finds it very hard to mend broken ties, yet can turn the other cheek if necessary.
: ■Do they have a guilty conscience? Why? Did they ever do something they totally regretted?
:: William is as innocent as he’s going to get. He totally does not enact shenanigans in public as the Chocobo. What if he was the Chocobo? He would not regret it one bit. He finds it hilarious to be stared at when he conducts his weekly foray into Issom-Har in his chocobo suit. However the most shenanigans he would openly admit to would be shuffling up Sugis’ books. Yet he really needs to learn to conduct his prank while she isn’t home..
: ■ What are Tropes you associate with your muse?
:: ● Bookworm since he studies old tomes he’s collected from the Gubal Library during some of Sugis’ forays, yet while he does not have a collection of tomes to amount Sugis’, his collection sums to an estimate of sixty.
:: ● a literal Scholar, while that may be preferred healing job in duties, he tends to overly study past civilizations. He has recently taken an interest in the War of the Magi and regularly conducts expeditions to the Yafaem saltmoors for Mhach and the Wanderer’s Palace to communicate with the tonberries of Nym, if he manages to find a sane tonberry.
:: ● Chocobo.
: ■ If given a million dollars, what would your OC do?
:: “Dollars? Is that a currency? The only common currency used across Eorzea is gil, so I’ll assume the question will refer to gil.”
:: William upon given a million gil will immediately donate a quarter to his family for however his father seems fit, a quarter to his free company to fund their move from their current base of a cottage in the Lavender Beds into a mansion of appealing scenary, a quarter to the Adventurer’s Guild for showing how even a Warrior of Light can make his start with them, and the remaining quarter for himself for various luxuries for his private house (totally not decorating it fully in chocobo decor).
==Other O.C.'s Relationships==
===Sugis Kevade===
: ■"Rumor has it that William deals in shady blackmarket business what with multiplw people seeing him go into the Kevade Mansion so often...."
:: While that may appear so, his business at the mansion is strictly personal! He considers the “Void” officers friends! While Suvi is verbally annoyed by his jokes, William notices a smirk followed by disbelief upon his face. On occasion, he may give business advice, as he runs his free company. While he stays out of specific business details, he cares not for whatever “shady” business is conducted, yet refuses to get involved in actual dealings. Although on one instance, he proposed that Suvi hire William’s older brother to do some secretarial work.
: William's memories of Sugis
:: ⭐️ One memory of William remembers is the day they first met in a duty to clear the first hall of Dzemael Darkhold. William on occasion tells Sugis how he both regrets and is grateful for that encounter.
:: ⭐️ No matter what’s happening, whether it be a dangerous raid or utter nonsense, William and Sugis will not hesitate to be sarcastic and sassy to each other.
:: ⭐️ William will not step one foot inside Sugis’ house. He once did and he was frightened by the sheer number of books in her house. Her house would put the Gubal Library out of business.
:: ⭐️ How many puns does it take for William to get on Sugis’s nerves. A skele-ton. She’d punish him, but that in itself would be helping his situation.
: Sugis' memories of William
:: ⭐️ Despite a slight age gap, and the fact that Will is /technically an adult/ Sugis still treats him like a child when it comes to his safety.
:: ⭐️ Sugis quit drinking due to something that happened involving dungeon crawling, Will pressuring a drunken Ishgardian Dragoon to “Do It”, and multiple Gas Bombs.
:: ⭐️ She likes to tease him, lightheartedly, about girls and when he’s gonna start dating to fluster him.
:: ⭐️ If there was a gil for every time she shouted “You’re grounded” to Will… She’d probably be rich(er).
:: ⭐️ Sugis takes the more serious marks for hunts and mercenary related stuff because she doesn’t want to see Will get hurt.
===Riaa Alteir===
: Riaa's memories of William
:: ⭐️ Riaa thinks that William is quite silly, but she appreciates it. Most people are too serious so it’s a nice change. She especially likes the OH JEEZ
:: ⭐️ to the point now where Riaa gleefully joins in on the OH JEEZ as well. She isn’t too bothered if it’s bugging anybody, but she’s definately having fun with it, and figures if SHE’S having fun with it then William must also be having fun too and YAY FUN.
:: ⭐️ She likes his hat. Not any specific one, just all of them. (Riaa really likes the chocobo head though, she thinks it’s hilarious.)
:: ⭐️ (Weed-Lizard) After the pixie stix incident, Mariko is worried about the purity of her candy, and as such double-triple checks that it’s not got anything else in. She’s also a bit worried that William managed to get tweaked out like that. On candy. How even…?
===Darius Kinkaid===
: Darius' memories of William
:: ⭐️ Darius knows about William through his subordinate, Ringabel [Sugis]. He’s heard nothing but good things, but is convinced William lives in a constant state of thinking everyone is going to die in an instant.
:: ⭐️ Darius also believes William was a chocobo in a past life.
:: ⭐️ When they first met, them two didn’t speak much outside of momentary jokes and the like, but they both soon found out they both read stories about a fictional group of heroes. The first book in question? “Red Helm and the Vandals.” There are other books, but William is convinced Darius idolizes this “Red Helm” character. He’s not absolutely wrong.
:: ⭐️ Since finding out about his sister, Darius has attended every small party William and his Free Company has thrown. The scholar in question is the only person who knows Darius disguises himself as an entertainer in a Vanu Vanu outfit.
:: ⭐️ William is constantly forgetting who Darius is, claiming he had seen him before in outlandish roles and places. It is unknown if William just does this to try and get inside Darius’s head or if it’s honestly forgetfulness.
:: ⭐️ Darius and William finally became friends when a mishap occurred while questing. They both had said “Oh Jeez” at the same time, rendering odd looks from both parties.
