==Character==
===General===

Shido is currently living his life with no direction in mind, once a leader of his free company, the Tomial Order. Before the company formed he was freelancing any jobs he could get his hands on, all the while traveling throughout Eorzea to find a certain person he met just before the Calamity. He does not have great difficulty talking about his past, but usually leaves alot of it out, and doesn't tend to speak of the subject unless asked directly. Shido made a fortune smuggling, but little is known about his little side job. Currently he finds work free-lancing his culinary skills, maybe a bit of dabbling in the selling his sword, but mainly looking for more permanent work as a chef.

===Appearance===
Usually found smiling, and laughing heartily, Shido is a Seeker Miqo'te with snow-white hair, adorned with golden tips. He is on the taller spectrum of his race, usually beating some Midlanders in height. His eyes are discolored, for no special reason, his left eye golden-yellow, while his right ocean-blue. On his face he has tribal tattoos on his cheek that his mother gave to him at a very young age, and near the corner of his right eye, he has a tattoo of a faded heart. His body may look a bit slim, but under all of his armor is a lean, muscular figure from years of training and traveling. Around his body stands quite a bit of slash and stab scars, mainly from the battle of Carteneau and his service in the Knights of the Barracuda. A very profound scar rested on the left side of his abdomen. Shido is usually seen with his red cuirass and boots on, adorning a beret he received from his time in the Knights of the Barracudas.

===Personality===

Despite his care-free nature, Shido takes care in everything he does, and is very capable of handling himself in most situations. He is also extremely respectful to those who he has deemed worthy to earn his respect, and he tries not to judge until he figures out the true nature of a person. He tends to try to help others, either directly or indirectly, showing his loose compassion for everything. Usually not sober, though he has taken his drinking down a few levels, his behavior changes a great deal to a hot-headed/happy type. Shido speaks with a thick accent from his years of living in Limsa Lominsa, serving in the 'Cudas. He feels that loyalty, humility, courage, compassion and respect are the most important traits for a person.

==Combat==

Shido is somewhat of a master of fencing, though unorthodox in his style, he is extremely deadly with his cutlass. He learned how to fence from his father and his mates as a Barracuda, and adapted the fighting style to using up to three swords at once, though only on rare occasions does he ever hold more than one blade. He had also picked up the use of the shield in his early teens. Though not official, he has learned the ways of the Sultansworn from his mentor, an ex-paladin, further enhancing his abilities as a fighter. He is also proficient at hand-to-hand combat, due to his early days participating in underground fighting clubs held at Limsa, though still no match for most Monks. His style consists of fighting a bit dirty with his cutlass and body, using whatever he has on him, and his environment to face his opponent, always having more than one trick up his sleeve. Shido has no skill in magic or manifestation of Aether whatsoever.

==Brief History==

((WIP))

===Vacation===
Shido had been missing for a while, only recently had he shown up again. Coming back, most of his friends had disappeared and no longer does he feel like a part of the company he had created with his family. Currently Shido spends his time looking for work, something to do, something to keep his mind busy.

===Friends===

::*[[Hitari Ishiyama]]- One of Shido's closest friends, has a high respect for Hitari and her combat skill. Even believing that she may best him on the battlefield, given the circumstances. Thinks that she is a bit hot-headed, but this has proved to save his ass a countless number of times. She is a moderator for Shido if he gets too rowdy.

::*[[Sabathius Kath'Lani]]-Shido considers Sabathius as a brother to him, and Sab has earned an extreme amount of trust from Shido. He admires Sabathius' personality and tact, respecting his strong-willed character. Secretly he itches to fight Sabathius one day, testing their capabilities.

::*[[Ragnar Eisenberg]]- Looks to Ragnar as a big brother type fifigure, though recently acquainted, Shido almost idolizes Ragnar's friendly nature. Shido feels the two have a great relationship and a similar taste in humor. Though not what he would pick for himself, Shido likes Ragnar's fighting style, it shows a vast control in his plentiful strength.

::*[[Sukina Cassady]]- Also just recently acquainted, Shido believes Sukina to have neverending potential, and a will to not give up. Having sparred with her once, he finds her style very rigid and traditional , although it also has a strong foundation, reminding him a bit of when he was training in the basics of fencing. Shido, being an experienced fighter, feels a bit of shame when watching Sukina fight with such valor.

::*[[Aerack Dawnshadow]]- See's Aerack as an extremely good-hearted invidual with a mission, much like his own. Aerack is searching for his sister, and Shido hopes to help him in this quest. He recruited Aerack into the Order at The Drowning Wench, suspecting he was new to the city. Though never seeing Aerack in combat, Shido commends him for sparring with Ragnar, a great feat not easily done.

::*[[Aerius Destroven]]- Shido met this particular person a long time ago at the Quicksand. Shido was incredibly drunk each time, and often approached Aerius as the Beach Wizard. After talking to Aerius recently, Shido recruited him into the Order, in hopes that Aerius finds a place to belong to . By nature he sees Aerius as a very valuable, and peculiar, individual with a questionable set of skills, and motive unclear, despite this Shido feels that he can trust him.

::*[[Yonene Yone]]- A fresh recruit in most all terms, but a promising one. Shido personally loves to tease her, to see the kinds of reactions he can spark in her and those around him. He instanly suspected Hitari to be all over this Lalafell, and hw was correct. Shido also knows that Yonene cannot handle alcohol very well and is always amused to see her (try to) drink, sparking Shido to give her a glass whenever possible.

::*[[Sukina Cassady]]- Also just recently acquainted, Shido believes Sukina to have neverending potential, and a will to not give up.

==Character==
===General===

Shido is currently living his life with no direction in mind, once a leader of his free company, the Tomial Order. Before the company formed he was freelancing any jobs he could get his hands on, all the while traveling throughout Eorzea to find a certain person he met just before the Calamity. He does not have great difficulty talking about his past, but usually leaves alot of it out, and doesn't tend to speak of the subject unless asked directly. Currently he finds work free-lancing his culinary skills, maybe a bit of dabbling in the selling his sword, but mainly looking for more permanent work as a chef.

===Appearance===
Usually found smiling, and laughing heartily, Shido is a Seeker Miqo'te with snow-white hair, adorned with golden tips. He is on the taller spectrum of his race, usually beating some Midlanders in height. His eyes are discolored, for no special reason, his left eye golden-yellow, while his right ocean-blue. On his face he has tribal tattoos on his cheek that his mother gave to him at a very young age, and near the corner of his right eye, he has a tattoo of a faded heart. His body may look a bit slim, but under all of his armor is a lean, muscular figure from years of training and traveling. Around his body stands quite a bit of slash and stab scars, mainly from the battle of Carteneau and his service in the Knights of the Barracuda. A very profound scar rested on the left side of his abdomen. Shido is usually seen with his red cuirass and boots on, adorning a beret he received from his time in the Knights of the Barracudas.

===Personality===

Despite his care-free nature, Shido takes care in everything he does, and is very capable of handling himself in most situations. He is also extremely respectful to those who he has deemed worthy to earn his respect, and he tries not to judge until he figures out the true nature of a person. He tends to try to help others, either directly or indirectly, showing his loose compassion for everything. Usually not sober, though he has taken his drinking down a few levels, his behavior changes a great deal to a hot-headed/happy type. Shido speaks with a thick accent from his years of living in Limsa Lominsa, serving in the 'Cudas. He feels that loyalty, humility, courage, compassion and respect are the most important traits for a person.

==Combat==

Shido is somewhat of a master of fencing, though unorthodox in his style, he is extremely deadly with his cutlass. He learned how to fence from his father and his mates as a Barracuda, and adapted the fighting style to using up to three swords at once, though only on rare occasions does he ever hold more than one blade. He had also picked up the use of the shield in his early teens. Though not official, he has learned the ways of the Sultansworn from his mentor, an ex-paladin, further enhancing his abilities as a fighter. He is also proficient at hand-to-hand combat, due to his early days participating in underground fighting clubs held at Limsa, though still no match for most Monks. His style consists of fighting a bit dirty with his cutlass and body, using whatever he has on him, and his environment to face his opponent, always having more than one trick up his sleeve. Shido has no skill in magic or manifestation of Aether whatsoever.

==Brief History==

((WIP))

===Vacation===
Shido had been missing for a while, only recently had he shown up again. Coming back, most of his friends had disappeared and no longer does he feel like a part of the company he had created with his family. Currently Shido spends his time looking for work, something to do, something to keep his mind busy.

Fah'ren Tolesa

==General==

A male Miqo'te with a passion for all things mechanical. Fah'ren is an engineer by trade, as well as a soldier. Having served with the Immortal Flames for a few years, he sought out a place that was less restrictive in its actions than a military order. He found this in the Tomial Order.

==Appearance==

Fah'ren stands taller than most male miqo'tes. He has fair skin and blonde swept back hair. His eyes are a light blue with large pupils akin to that of Keepers. He is usually seen with some sort of eyewear due to slightly poor vision.

==Past==

Fah'ren was born as F'ren Tayuun, in Ul'Dah. His Father was a Seeker Blacksmith and his mother was a Keeper weaver, discontent with the social structures of their kin. At the young age of 6, he lost them both after bandits raided their caravan. For 4 years of his childhood F’ren took to the streets of Ul'Dah and lived out a meager existence as an urchin and pickpocket.

At the age of 10, he was caught trying to steal from A Lalafell inventor by the name of Rolesa Tolesa. Rolesa was not without mercy, knowing that time in prison would break the boy. He took the young F'ren in as an indentured servant, rather than letting the guards deal with him..

F'ren's life with Rolesa began as a rocky one. But F'ren did not want to return to a life on the streets alone. Rolesa had given him a new chance and new opportunities. So he endured the first year of indentured servitude. As the first year progressed, Rolesa began to see growing potential in the boy, the boy showed an affinity for mechanical things. After this realization, Rolesa began to treat F'ren with more respect. Eventually their relationship blossomed, Rolesa eventually treating the young F’ren as if he were his own son.

As the years passed, F'ren's skills as an engineer were honed under the watchful eye of Rolesa. The two still had their differences, Rolesa always sticking to his Calculations, and F'ren retorting that calculations need practical application. This difference, yielded surprising results at times for projects the two took on from clients. These results as well, caught the eye of the Grand companies.

Just before his 18th nameday the Flames propositioned them both with positions of being specialists amongst their ranks. Rolesa Rejected the idea of letting his skills benefit one company, while F'ren saw the benefits of being in the Employ of the Flames. F'ren accepted the offer, despite the disappointment of Rolesa.

In the year after, F'ren advanced his career with the Flames. Rolesa, on the other hand, decided that it was time to start a journey, to learn from other places across Hydaelyn. The Day Rolesa left was not one of contempt amongst the two. That day, they had both shared their ultimate thoughts on one another, A Love and respect akin to that of Father and Son. F'ren that day decided to take on the first name his father would constantly mispronounce, Fah'ren, as well as the last name of the man who he held so much respect for, Tolesa.

==Present==

The Flames had opened up a door the many new possibilities for Fah'ren at first. They had given him Combat training, a steady flow of work, and an equal amount of coin. But as he advanced in rank, his freedom began to dwindle. With Higher rank came more jobs, more responsibilities. His knack for engineering made him the "Go-To" guy for many issues concerning equipment maintenance and logistics. In 6 years he had advanced to that of Chief Flame Sergeant due to his performance. Recently he decided that it was enough. His freedom nearly diminished, he has sought out refuge within The Tomial Order. But now one more thing has come up from the Flames, they are offering a commission with a copious amount of benefits and coin.

==Behavior/Personality==

When working, Fah'ren comes off as a very objectivistic and commanding person, always doing what he can to get the job done, without sacrificing the safety of others. He's one to make calculations but knows that calculations mean nothing without practical application, something he was always at odds with Rolesa with.

His working behavior contrasts with his social behavior. He is usually quiet and polite, sometimes overly apologetic. Around women he comes across as very shy, usually stumbling and stuttering over words.

* "He's.. learning from my mentor, too, now. *sighs* I... hope he doesn't give her any trouble.." - [[Mylene Wharf]]
* "Uhh... Oh, him. Got himself into a bind I had to help him outta. Can't say I don't sympathise, though. Being stuck in a tin can wouldn't be fun, though I've never been unlucky enough. Shame he forgot his tools, so I had to break the hinge...." - [[K'hoshi Nunh]]
* "Ser Fah'ren is very kind. And he is one of the best friends anyone could ask for. He is very nervous around women, though..." - [[Citlali Althaea]]
* She would look up from her mask and raise it, grinning. "Fah'ren? I know him. He's one of the best people you'll meet in Hydaelyn. He gives me helpful tips when it comes to metal work and he is great company all around. I hope for nothing but happiness for him and I hope to be apart of it. But he doesn't seem to have much hope for finding a love." She would frown before beaming. "Which is hard to imagine. He's an attractive guy with brains too!" - [[Yuki Kurenai]]
* "Fah'ren? That guy is a complete jerk! I mean, you should definitely believe everything you overhear in the Quicksand, right!?" -Pink-Haired Hyur

He had also picked up the use of the shield in his early teens. Though not official, he has learned the ways of the Sultansworn from his mentor, an ex-paladin, further enhancing his abilities as a fighter. He is also very proficient at hand-to-hand combat, due to his early days participating in underground fighting clubs held at Limsa, though still no match for most Monks. His style consists of fighting a bit dirty with his cutlass and body. He also uses whatever he has on him, and his environment to face his opponent, always having more than one trick up his sleeve. Shido has no skill in magic or manifestation of Aether whatsoever.

==History==
===Early years in Ul'dah and Limsa Lominsa===

Shido was born in Ul'dah to a pair of Miqo'te, a far-eastern merchant and a Limsan native. His father, the merchant, is named Junpei Wahorah and his mother, Y'zula Rhikita met in Limsa Lominsa a few years back, and were living in Ul'dah at the time. They were not an overly-welathy family, but well-off some could argue, thus Shido was a bit spoiled growing up. Being the spoiled "rich" child he was constantly bullied and made no friends, unless you include the books he read. Witnessing this, his mother suggested that they move back to Limsa Lominsa, believing that Shido would fit in better with the children around there. One Shido turned the age of five, they set out and moved back to Limsa Lominsa, where they owned a nice house on the outskirts of the city. The bullying did lessen a bit, but it was still very profound, and would lead to Shido staying home and reading books from his father's collection. During this time his father would train Shido in the basics of fencing, building a solid foundation for his swordplay. This continued for three years, and reading stacks, upon stacks of books, he improved his education significantly for his age.

===Shido's Loss===

A few months after his 8th birthday, Shido's father took the family and a few crew members out for a trip to the Indigo Deep on his merchant ship, after months of pestering from Shido himself. They finally set sail for the Indigo Deep, expecting to come back in a a few days. Out on the Indigo, the family had a picnic with the crew, and Shido wandered off to the front of the ship, near the bow sprit. As he looked out onto the horizon with childish amazement, a small ship caught his eye, but he thought nothing of it. It came at incredible speed towards his father's ship and sudden realization hit him, he ran down to his parents and called out "Pirates!" The ship-hands jumped up to the railings, trying to ready the ship for sail, but it was too late. There were already hooks latched to the railings, with men climbing up with incredible speed. Shido stood there and watched as the crew fought off the pirates boarding, not noticing his mother running to him and picking him up. Y'zula rushed into the captain's quarters, Junpei follwoing closely behind. They shut the door behind them, listening to the butchering screams.

Shido's mother said to him in a frightened voice, "Remember no matter what happens, ye father and I will always love ye to death."

There was banging at the door as Junpei exclaimed, "That's right Shido, stay back!"

Y'zula grabbed Shido and held him close, retreating to the end of the room near the windows. A burly Hyur Midlander bust in through the door, and Junpei drew his sword. Shido always admired his father's skill in fencing, and Junpei fought valiantly, killing the intruder. It did prove to be a futile resistance, two Miqo'tes rushed in, followed by an Elezen, of whom which pinned Shido's father down. He heard his mother scream as he watched his father's throat severed right before his eyes, a red mist forming in the air, a memory he will never forget. The pirates looked to Shido and his mother, and walked slowly towards them. They grabbed his mother and dragged her away from a crying Shido. Keeping his mother and himself captives on the ship, they assaulted both of them constantly.

This continued for two days, until on the second day, shouts came from the outside, " 'Cudas! Take what ye can 'n let's go!" The men currently in the room with Shido, grabbed his mother and one of them stuck his sword into her abdomen. The Elezen came to Shido and impaled him in the side, leaving him for dead. Shido laid there on the floor for what felt like two eternities, trying to deal with the immense pain in his side. He was looking at his mother, trying to find a sign of movement, but it was an effort for naught, once he heard footsteps coming from the direction of the doors. He looked up and saw an old Hyur man check his mother's body, and shake his head before proceeding to Shido. The old man looked at Shido with a mix of sympathy and worry, then yelled, "We got a live one 'ere!"

===The Knights of the Barracuda===

The old man turned out to be an ex-paladin working as a mop-hand for the Knights of the Barracuda. Shido was picked up by the ship and after gathering things from his parents' house, he was officially "adopted" by the ship, after filling out necessary paperwork in the Maelstrom Navy. He was inducted into the 'Cuda's 5th Squadron, 2nd Levy. The old Hyur was Shido's primary caretaker, teaching him about the world and how to work, with the rest of the crew always willing to lend a hand. Reluctant to open up at first, he finally took comfort in these men and considered them to be his family after a year and a half. The ship's crew quickly took a liking to Shido, as he was the youngest on the ship, they taught him a variety of skills, one being the current fencing style he uses today. At the age of twelve Shido was an official member of the Barracuda levy, and about this point is when Shido started to excel at fencing, learning very advanced techniques, from a quarte to a prise de fer. He also started to fight in clubs in Limsa's underground, ironically fighting many pirates, for he did not hold a grudge against pirates as a whole, but rather the specific one's that raided his ship years ago. Missing his mother dearly, he went and got a tattoo of a pink heart near the corner of his right eye. He spents his days drinking, fighting, and working, saving every bit of money on the way. He hated the gambling that went all around the ship, but loved playing dice and cards with the crew.

===Gridania===

When Shido hit the age of 19, the mop-hand died of old age, and he volunteered for an assignment that located in Gridania, this is when he finally experienced his first love. He met a young Miqo'te girl about his age, maybe a year younger, while loading and unloading supplies sent from Limsa. His mates constantly teased him and his puppy love, telling him to just talk to her. Shido had no experience with the other gender, and was painfully shy, when one day the Miqo' girl came up to him and gave him a rose. She smiled at him and ran away, leaving a blushing Shido standing there by himself. These small acts continued for a year, which he did smalls acts as such in return such as; writing her letters and leaving it by her door, cooking an extra lunch and dropping it by the window of her room, and constantly waved everytime he saw her (which was quite embarassing for her.) By the end of the first year, Shido had finally learnt her name, K'neko, and was completely head-over-heels for the lass. They started to spend the weekends together then she started to be outcasted by her fellow schoolmates and friends for hanging out with a "Lominsan Mutt." He came to the conclusion that he had to start avoiding her, no matter how much he didn't want to, it was what's best...right? By the end of the second year, Shido was preparing to leave for a mission to Mor Dhona, but the only thing on his mind was K'neko. A day before he set off, K'neko found him hanging outside of her home. She was absolutely elated upon seeing the white-haired sailor and rushed out to meet him. They hung out for the day and caught up, resparking the chemistry between the two. That was the first time Shido had experience a night of passion and knew for sure that this was the woman that he would want to spend the rest of his life with.

===Carteneau===

Shido had hit the age of 21 and his levy was set off, bound for Mor Dhona, a couple weeks before Carteneau ensued. K'neko met him at the port and they made a promise to find eachother again and shared a parting kiss. On the way, a strange mist rolled up upon the ship, once they were nearing the coast and the ship crashed into a jagged rock, wrecking the ships into splinters. All of the crew survived and washed up upon the shore, the crew took the whole day to gather what supplies they had left and made way to Old Revenant's Toll. Once they arrived, they were given new clothes and were charged with being reinforcements, should the battle need them. Once the battle started, Shido was charged with protecting a supply camp when a sudden call for reinforcements was heard. His unit was to be ready and sent to the frontline in fifteen minutes. Once he made it to the frontlines and thrown into the full of the fight, he had great difficultly, for his fencing-style was made more to fight an enemy one on one. Multiple opponents surrounded him, but with the help of the comrades around him, he prevailed, and was exhausted. Despite his exhaustion he fought as hard as his body would allow him, using every dirty trick he had up his sleeve, literally. He used the whiskey he kept in his boot and drenched multiple enemies, and a Gridanian mage set them ablaze. He looked back at the mage, and his eyes lit up instantly, "K'neko!" He exclaimed. The those words left his mouth, a Garlean Centurion knocked Shido unconscious,as the battle was coming to a close and Shido was dragged out by a certain Gridanian Mage, and he was sent back to Limsa once the fighting had stopped. Once back in Limsa Lominsa, Shido slept in his coma for 3 months.

===A New Adventure===

Once Shido woke up from his coma, he was diagnosed with a mild case of amnesia, forgetting all of the events of Carteneau. He learned that he was there and that his whole crew had sacrificed themselves in the war. Distraught and disheartened from the loss of yet another family, he left the Barracudas shortly after being assigned to his new levy. Shido then decided to use the money he inherited and the money he saved up all these years to buy his way to Gridania, in hope of finding the girl that caught his eye so many years ago. In Gridania he found no sign of her, and asked around, learning that she had disappeared after the Calamity. He stayed there for about a month to help in the building of new projects, and finally a common swindler suggested that he invest his money into a company that would manufacture armor on a world-basis. Naive as Shido was, he accepted and the swindler ran off with Shido's money the day of. Now with not a penny to his name, he set out once more, now as an adventurer, after losing everything he had worked for. Through his travels he learned to be an expert chef, some even dubbing him as the "Whiskey Wizard of Cooking," which he then later adapted to the Beach Wizard. Due to his cooking, he enjoys good food and good alcohol, frowning upon simple meals and cheap liquor. Shido became quite fond of Costa del Sol, so whenever he was in La Noscea that was the one place he is seen most at, due to the fact that there were no shortage of cute vacationers he's spent nights of passion with, but it will never be enough to satisfy the enormous gap in his heart. This is where he met Sabathius Kath'lani, Shido was roaring drunk at the time, and came upon the giant crab that resides there, instantly picking a fight. Sabathius caught eye of this and rushed over to assist the drunk Miqo'te that was swinging around a sword recklessly. Sabathius was the one to actually defeat the crab and the two struck up a friendship almost instantly. Hitari came shortly after, looking for Shido, witnessing Shido trying to sell Sabathius an "excorsism," in which Sabathius refused. About a year later, after going there separate ways, the three formed The Tomial Order, as a company for adventurers.

===The Little Sister===
Haku was born when Shido was 7 years of age and she was sent to the Far-East to live with their grandparents. If there's one thing Shido loves in this world, it's his little sister. Recently, Shido made a trip to the far-east and brought Haku back with him, now he's constantly pestered by Haku and usually can usually be seen frantically loooking for her. She constantly causes trouble around to gain attention from Shido, making up for lost years.

===Vacation===
Shido had been missing for a while, only recently had he shown up again. Coming back, most of his friends had disappeared and no longer does he feel like a part of the company he had created with his family. Currently Shido spends his time looking for work, something to do, something to keep his mind busy.

::*[[Sabathius Kath'Lani]]-Shido considers Sabathius as a brother to him, and Sab has earned an extreme amount of trust from Shido. He admires Sabathius' personality and tact, respecting his strong-willed character. Secretly he itches to fight Sabathius one day, testing their capabilities.

::*[[Ragnar Eisenberg]]- Looks to Ragnar as a big brother type fifigure, though recently acquainted, Shido almost idolizes Ragnar's friendly nature. Shido feels the two have a great relationship and a similar taste in humor. Though not what he would pick for himself, Shido likes Ragnar's fighting style, it shows a vast control in his plentiful strength.

::*[[Sukina Cassady]]- Also just recently acquainted, Shido believes Sukina to have neverending potential, and a will to not give up. Having sparred with her once, he finds her style very rigid and traditional , although it also has a strong foundation, reminding him a bit of when he was training in the basics of fencing. Shido, being an experienced fighter, feels a bit of shame when watching Sukina fight with such valor.

::*[[Aerack Dawnshadow]]- See's Aerack as an extremely good-hearted invidual with a mission, much like his own. Aerack is searching for his sister, and Shido hopes to help him in this quest.

Though never seeing Aerack in combat, Shido commends him for sparring with Ragnar, a great feat not easily done.

::*[[Aerius Destroven]]- Shido met this particular person a long time ago at the Quicksand. Shido was incredibly drunk each time, and often approached Aerius as the Beach Wizard. After talking to Aerius recently, Shido recruited him into the Order, in hopes that Aerius finds a place to belong to . By nature he sees Aerius as a very valuable, and peculiar, individual with a questionable set of skills, and motive unclear, despite this Shido feels that he can trust him.

::*[[Yonene Yone]]- A fresh recruit in most all terms, but a promising one. Shido personally loves to tease her, to see the kinds of reactions he can spark in her and those around him. He instanly suspected Hitari to be all over this Lalafell, and hw was correct. Shido also knows that Yonene cannot handle alcohol very well and is always amused to see her (try to) drink, sparking Shido to give her a glass whenever possible.

==Character==
===General===

Shido is currently living his life with no direction in mind, once a leader of his free company, the Tomial Order. Before the company formed he was freelancing any jobs he could get his hands on, all the while traveling throughout Eorzea to find a certain person he met just before the Calamity. He does not have great difficulty talking about his past, but usually leaves alot of it out, and doesn't tend to speak of the subject unless asked directly.

===Appearance===
Usually found smiling, and laughing, Shido is a Miqo'te with snow-white hair, adorned with golden tips. He is a bit on the taller spectrum of his race, usually beating even some Midlanders in height. His eyes are discolored, for no special reason only that he was born that way, his left eye golden-yellow, while his right ocean-blue. On his face he has tattoos on his cheek that his mother gave to him at a very young age, and near the corner of his right eye, he has a tattoo of a faded heart. His body may look a bit slim, but under all of his armor is a lean, muscular figure from years of training and traveling. Around his body stands quite a bit of slash and stab scars, mainly from the battle of Carteneau and his service in the Knights of the Barracuda. A very profound scar rested on the left side of his abdomen. Shido is usually seen with his red cuirass and boots on, symbolizing his favorite color and the place he calls home, he also wears a beret he recieved from his time in the Knights of the Barracudas.

===Personality===

Despite his care-free nature, Shido takes care in everything he does, and is very capable of handling himself in most situations. He is also extremely respectful to those who he has deemed worthy to earn his respect, and he tries not to judge until he figures out the true nature of a person. He tends to try to help others, either directly or indirectly, showing his loose compassion for everything.Usually not sober, though he has taken his drinking down a few levels, his behavior changes a great deal to a hot-headed/happy type. Shido speaks with a thick accent from his years of living in Limsa Lominsa, serving in the 'Cudas. He feels that loyalty, humility, courage, compassion and respect are the most important traits for a person.

==Combat==
===General===

Shido is somewhat of a master of fencing, though unorthodox in his style, he is extremely deadly with his cutlass. He learned how to fence from his father and his mates as a Barracuda, and adapted the fighting style to using up to three swords at once. He had also picked up the use of the shield in his early teens. Though not official, he has learned the ways of the Sultansworn from his mentor, an ex-paladin, further enhancing his abilities as a fighter. He is also very proficient at hand-to-hand combat, due to his early days participating in underground fighting clubs held at Limsa, though still no match for most Monks. His style consists of fighting a bit dirty with his cutlass and body. He also uses whatever he has on him, and his environment to face his opponent, always having more than one trick up his sleeve. Shido has no skill in magic or manifestation of Aether whatsoever.

==History==
===Early years in Ul'dah and Limsa Lominsa===

Shido was born in Ul'dah to a pair of Miqo'te, a far-eastern merchant and a Limsan native. His father, the merchant, is named Junpei Wahorah and his mother, Y'zula Rhikita met in Limsa Lominsa a few years back, and were living in Ul'dah at the time. They were not an overly-welathy family, but well-off some could argue, thus Shido was a bit spoiled growing up. Being the spoiled "rich" child he was constantly bullied and made no friends, unless you include the books he read. Witnessing this, his mother suggested that they move back to Limsa Lominsa, believing that Shido would fit in better with the children around there. One Shido turned the age of five, they set out and moved back to Limsa Lominsa, where they owned a nice house on the outskirts of the city. The bullying did lessen a bit, but it was still very profound, and would lead to Shido staying home and reading books from his father's collection. During this time his father would train Shido in the basics of fencing, building a solid foundation for his swordplay. This continued for three years, and reading stacks, upon stacks of books, he improved his education significantly for his age.

===Shido's Loss===

A few months after his 8th birthday, Shido's father took the family and a few crew members out for a trip to the Indigo Deep on his merchant ship, after months of pestering from Shido himself. They finally set sail for the Indigo Deep, expecting to come back in a a few days. Out on the Indigo, the family had a picnic with the crew, and Shido wandered off to the front of the ship, near the bow sprit. As he looked out onto the horizon with childish amazement, a small ship caught his eye, but he thought nothing of it. It came at incredible speed towards his father's ship and sudden realization hit him, he ran down to his parents and called out "Pirates!" The ship-hands jumped up to the railings, trying to ready the ship for sail, but it was too late. There were already hooks latched to the railings, with men climbing up with incredible speed. Shido stood there and watched as the crew fought off the pirates boarding, not noticing his mother running to him and picking him up. Y'zula rushed into the captain's quarters, Junpei follwoing closely behind. They shut the door behind them, listening to the butchering screams.

Shido's mother said to him in a frightened voice, "Remember no matter what happens, ye father and I will always love ye to death."

There was banging at the door as Junpei exclaimed, "That's right Shido, stay back!"

Y'zula grabbed Shido and held him close, retreating to the end of the room near the windows. A burly Hyur Midlander bust in through the door, and Junpei drew his sword. Shido always admired his father's skill in fencing, and Junpei fought valiantly, killing the intruder. It did prove to be a futile resistance, two Miqo'tes rushed in, followed by an Elezen, of whom which pinned Shido's father down. He heard his mother scream as he watched his father's throat severed right before his eyes, a red mist forming in the air, a memory he will never forget. The pirates looked to Shido and his mother, and walked slowly towards them. They grabbed his mother and dragged her away from a crying Shido. Keeping his mother and himself captives on the ship, they assaulted both of them constantly.

This continued for two days, until on the second day, shouts came from the outside, " 'Cudas! Take what ye can 'n let's go!" The men currently in the room with Shido, grabbed his mother and one of them stuck his sword into her abdomen. The Elezen came to Shido and impaled him in the side, leaving him for dead. Shido laid there on the floor for what felt like two eternities, trying to deal with the immense pain in his side. He was looking at his mother, trying to find a sign of movement, but it was an effort for naught, once he heard footsteps coming from the direction of the doors. He looked up and saw an old Hyur man check his mother's body, and shake his head before proceeding to Shido. The old man looked at Shido with a mix of sympathy and worry, then yelled, "We got a live one 'ere!"

===The Knights of the Barracuda===

The old man turned out to be an ex-paladin working as a mop-hand for the Knights of the Barracuda. Shido was picked up by the ship and after gathering things from his parents' house, he was officially "adopted" by the ship, after filling out necessary paperwork in the Maelstrom Navy. He was inducted into the 'Cuda's 5th Squadron, 2nd Levy. The old Hyur was Shido's primary caretaker, teaching him about the world and how to work, with the rest of the crew always willing to lend a hand. Reluctant to open up at first, he finally took comfort in these men and considered them to be his family after a year and a half. The ship's crew quickly took a liking to Shido, as he was the youngest on the ship, they taught him a variety of skills, one being the current fencing style he uses today. At the age of twelve Shido was an official member of the Barracuda levy, and about this point is when Shido started to excel at fencing, learning very advanced techniques, from a quarte to a prise de fer. He also started to fight in clubs in Limsa's underground, ironically fighting many pirates, for he did not hold a grudge against pirates as a whole, but rather the specific one's that raided his ship years ago. Missing his mother dearly, he went and got a tattoo of a pink heart near the corner of his right eye. He spents his days drinking, fighting, and working, saving every bit of money on the way. He hated the gambling that went all around the ship, but loved playing dice and cards with the crew.

===Gridania===

When Shido hit the age of 19, the mop-hand died of old age, and he volunteered for an assignment that located in Gridania, this is when he finally experienced his first love. He met a young Miqo'te girl about his age, maybe a year younger, while loading and unloading supplies sent from Limsa. His mates constantly teased him and his puppy love, telling him to just talk to her. Shido had no experience with the other gender, and was painfully shy, when one day the Miqo' girl came up to him and gave him a rose. She smiled at him and ran away, leaving a blushing Shido standing there by himself. These small acts continued for a year, which he did smalls acts as such in return such as; writing her letters and leaving it by her door, cooking an extra lunch and dropping it by the window of her room, and constantly waved everytime he saw her (which was quite embarassing for her.) By the end of the first year, Shido had finally learnt her name, K'neko, and was completely head-over-heels for the lass. They started to spend the weekends together then she started to be outcasted by her fellow schoolmates and friends for hanging out with a "Lominsan Mutt." He came to the conclusion that he had to start avoiding her, no matter how much he didn't want to, it was what's best...right? By the end of the second year, Shido was preparing to leave for a mission to Mor Dhona, but the only thing on his mind was K'neko. A day before he set off, K'neko found him hanging outside of her home. She was absolutely elated upon seeing the white-haired sailor and rushed out to meet him. They hung out for the day and caught up, resparking the chemistry between the two. That was the first time Shido had experience a night of passion and knew for sure that this was the woman that he would want to spend the rest of his life with.

===Carteneau===

Shido had hit the age of 21 and his levy was set off, bound for Mor Dhona, a couple weeks before Carteneau ensued. K'neko met him at the port and they made a promise to find eachother again and shared a parting kiss. On the way, a strange mist rolled up upon the ship, once they were nearing the coast and the ship crashed into a jagged rock, wrecking the ships into splinters. All of the crew survived and washed up upon the shore, the crew took the whole day to gather what supplies they had left and made way to Old Revenant's Toll. Once they arrived, they were given new clothes and were charged with being reinforcements, should the battle need them. Once the battle started, Shido was charged with protecting a supply camp when a sudden call for reinforcements was heard. His unit was to be ready and sent to the frontline in fifteen minutes. Once he made it to the frontlines and thrown into the full of the fight, he had great difficultly, for his fencing-style was made more to fight an enemy one on one. Multiple opponents surrounded him, but with the help of the comrades around him, he prevailed, and was exhausted. Despite his exhaustion he fought as hard as his body would allow him, using every dirty trick he had up his sleeve, literally. He used the whiskey he kept in his boot and drenched multiple enemies, and a Gridanian mage set them ablaze. He looked back at the mage, and his eyes lit up instantly, "K'neko!" He exclaimed. The those words left his mouth, a Garlean Centurion knocked Shido unconscious,as the battle was coming to a close and Shido was dragged out by a certain Gridanian Mage, and he was sent back to Limsa once the fighting had stopped. Once back in Limsa Lominsa, Shido slept in his coma for 3 months.

===A New Adventure===

Once Shido woke up from his coma, he was diagnosed with a mild case of amnesia, forgetting all of the events of Carteneau. He learned that he was there and that his whole crew had sacrificed themselves in the war. Distraught and disheartened from the loss of yet another family, he left the Barracudas shortly after being assigned to his new levy. Shido then decided to use the money he inherited and the money he saved up all these years to buy his way to Gridania, in hope of finding the girl that caught his eye so many years ago. In Gridania he found no sign of her, and asked around, learning that she had disappeared after the Calamity. He stayed there for about a month to help in the building of new projects, and finally a common swindler suggested that he invest his money into a company that would manufacture armor on a world-basis. Naive as Shido was, he accepted and the swindler ran off with Shido's money the day of. Now with not a penny to his name, he set out once more, now as an adventurer, after losing everything he had worked for. Through his travels he learned to be an expert chef, some even dubbing him as the "Whiskey Wizard of Cooking," which he then later adapted to the Beach Wizard. Due to his cooking, he enjoys good food and good alcohol, frowning upon simple meals and cheap liquor. Shido became quite fond of Costa del Sol, so whenever he was in La Noscea that was the one place he is seen most at, due to the fact that there were no shortage of cute vacationers he's spent nights of passion with, but it will never be enough to satisfy the enormous gap in his heart. This is where he met Sabathius Kath'lani, Shido was roaring drunk at the time, and came upon the giant crab that resides there, instantly picking a fight. Sabathius caught eye of this and rushed over to assist the drunk Miqo'te that was swinging around a sword recklessly. Sabathius was the one to actually defeat the crab and the two struck up a friendship almost instantly. Hitari came shortly after, looking for Shido, witnessing Shido trying to sell Sabathius an "excorsism," in which Sabathius refused. About a year later, after going there separate ways, the three formed The Tomial Order, as a company for adventurers.

===The Little Sister===
Haku was born when Shido was 7 years of age and she was sent to the Far-East to live with their grandparents. If there's one thing Shido loves in this world, it's his little sister. Recently, Shido made a trip to the far-east and brought Haku back with him, now he's constantly pestered by Haku and usually can usually be seen frantically loooking for her. She constantly causes trouble around to gain attention from Shido, making up for lost years.

===Vacation===
Shido had been missing for a while, only recently had he shown up again. Coming back, most of his friends had disappeared and no longer does he feel like a part of the company he had created with his family. Currently Shido spends his time looking for work, something to do, something to keep his mind busy.

Though not what he would pick for himself, Shido likes Ragnar's fighting style, it shows a vast control in his plentiful strength.

::*[[Sukina Cassady]]- Also just recently acquainted, Shido believes Sukina to have neverending potential, and a will to not give up. Having sparred with her once, he finds her style very rigid and traditional , although it also has a strong foundation, reminding him a bit of when he was training in the basics of fencing.

Though never seeing Aerack in combat, Shido commends him for sparring with Ragnar, a great feat not easily done.

::*[[Aerius Destroven]]- Shido met this particular person a long time ago at the Quicksand. Shido was incredibly drunk each time, and often approached Aerius as the Beach Wizard. After talking to Aerius recently, Shido recruited him into the Order, in hopes that Aerius finds a place to belong to . By nature he sees Aerius as a very valuable, and peculiar, individual with a questionable set of skills, and motive unclear, despite this Shido feels that he can trust him.

::*[[Yonene Yone]]- A fresh recruit in most all terms, but a promising one. Shido personally loves to tease her, to see the kinds of reactions he can spark in her and those around him. He instanly suspected Hitari to be all over this Lalafell, and hw was correct. Shido also knows that Yonene cannot handle alcohol very well and is always amused to see her (try to) drink, sparking Shido to give her a glass whenever possible.

==Character==
===General===

Shido is currently living his life with no direction in mind, once a leader of his free company, the Tomial Order. Before the company formed he was freelancing any jobs he could get his hands on, all the while traveling throughout Eorzea to find a certain person he met just before the Calamity. He does not have great difficulty talking about his past, but usually leaves alot of it out, and doesn't tend to speak of the subject unless asked directly.

===Appearance===
Usually found smiling, and laughing, Shido is a Miqo'te with snow-white hair, adorned with golden tips. He is a bit on the taller spectrum of his race, usually beating even some Midlanders in height. His eyes are discolored, for no special reason only that he was born that way, his left eye golden-yellow, while his right ocean-blue. On his face he has tattoos on his cheek that his mother gave to him at a very young age, and near the corner of his right eye, he has a tattoo of a faded heart. His body may look a bit slim, but under all of his armor is a lean, muscular figure from years of training and traveling. Around his body stands quite a bit of slash and stab scars, mainly from the battle of Carteneau and his service in the Knights of the Barracuda. A very profound scar rested on the left side of his abdomen. Shido is usually seen with his red cuirass and boots on, symbolizing his favorite color and the place he calls home, he also wears a beret he recieved from his time in the Knights of the Barracudas.

===Personality===

Despite his care-free nature, Shido takes care in everything he does, and is very capable of handling himself in most situations. He is also extremely respectful to those who he has deemed worthy to earn his respect, and he tries not to judge until he figures out the true nature of a person. He tends to try to help others, either directly or indirectly, showing his loose compassion for everything.Usually not sober, though he has taken his drinking down a few levels, his behavior changes a great deal to a hot-headed/happy type. Shido speaks with a thick accent from his years of living in Limsa Lominsa, serving in the 'Cudas. He feels that loyalty, humility, courage, compassion and respect are the most important traits for a person.

==Combat==
===General===

Shido is somewhat of a master of fencing, though unorthodox in his style, he is extremely deadly with his cutlass. He learned how to fence from his father and his mates as a Barracuda, and adapted the fighting style to using up to three swords at once. He had also picked up the use of the shield in his early teens. Though not official, he has learned the ways of the Sultansworn from his mentor, an ex-paladin, further enhancing his abilities as a fighter. He is also very proficient at hand-to-hand combat, due to his early days participating in underground fighting clubs held at Limsa, though still no match for most Monks. His style consists of fighting a bit dirty with his cutlass and body. He also uses whatever he has on him, and his environment to face his opponent, always having more than one trick up his sleeve. Shido has no skill in magic or manifestation of Aether whatsoever.

==History==
===Early years in Ul'dah and Limsa Lominsa===

Shido was born in Ul'dah to a pair of Miqo'te, a far-eastern merchant and a Limsan native. His father, the merchant, is named Junpei Wahorah and his mother, Y'zula Rhikita met in Limsa Lominsa a few years back, and were living in Ul'dah at the time. They were not an overly-welathy family, but well-off some could argue, thus Shido was a bit spoiled growing up. Being the spoiled "rich" child he was constantly bullied and made no friends, unless you include the books he read. Witnessing this, his mother suggested that they move back to Limsa Lominsa, believing that Shido would fit in better with the children around there. One Shido turned the age of five, they set out and moved back to Limsa Lominsa, where they owned a nice house on the outskirts of the city. The bullying did lessen a bit, but it was still very profound, and would lead to Shido staying home and reading books from his father's collection. During this time his father would train Shido in the basics of fencing, building a solid foundation for his swordplay. This continued for three years, and reading stacks, upon stacks of books, he improved his education significantly for his age.

===Shido's Loss===

A few months after his 8th birthday, Shido's father took the family and a few crew members out for a trip to the Indigo Deep on his merchant ship, after months of pestering from Shido himself. They finally set sail for the Indigo Deep, expecting to come back in a a few days. Out on the Indigo, the family had a picnic with the crew, and Shido wandered off to the front of the ship, near the bow sprit. As he looked out onto the horizon with childish amazement, a small ship caught his eye, but he thought nothing of it. It came at incredible speed towards his father's ship and sudden realization hit him, he ran down to his parents and called out "Pirates!" The ship-hands jumped up to the railings, trying to ready the ship for sail, but it was too late. There were already hooks latched to the railings, with men climbing up with incredible speed. Shido stood there and watched as the crew fought off the pirates boarding, not noticing his mother running to him and picking him up. Y'zula rushed into the captain's quarters, Junpei follwoing closely behind. They shut the door behind them, listening to the butchering screams.

Shido's mother said to him in a frightened voice, "Remember no matter what happens, ye father and I will always love ye to death."

There was banging at the door as Junpei exclaimed, "That's right Shido, stay back!"

Y'zula grabbed Shido and held him close, retreating to the end of the room near the windows. A burly Hyur Midlander bust in through the door, and Junpei drew his sword. Shido always admired his father's skill in fencing, and Junpei fought valiantly, killing the intruder. It did prove to be a futile resistance, two Miqo'tes rushed in, followed by an Elezen, of whom which pinned Shido's father down. He heard his mother scream as he watched his father's throat severed right before his eyes, a red mist forming in the air, a memory he will never forget. The pirates looked to Shido and his mother, and walked slowly towards them. They grabbed his mother and dragged her away from a crying Shido. Keeping his mother and himself captives on the ship, they assaulted both of them constantly.

This continued for two days, until on the second day, shouts came from the outside, " 'Cudas! Take what ye can 'n let's go!" The men currently in the room with Shido, grabbed his mother and one of them stuck his sword into her abdomen. The Elezen came to Shido and impaled him in the side, leaving him for dead. Shido laid there on the floor for what felt like two eternities, trying to deal with the immense pain in his side. He was looking at his mother, trying to find a sign of movement, but it was an effort for naught, once he heard footsteps coming from the direction of the doors. He looked up and saw an old Hyur man check his mother's body, and shake his head before proceeding to Shido. The old man looked at Shido with a mix of sympathy and worry, then yelled, "We got a live one 'ere!"

===The Knights of the Barracuda===

The old man turned out to be an ex-paladin working as a mop-hand for the Knights of the Barracuda. Shido was picked up by the ship and after gathering things from his parents' house, he was officially "adopted" by the ship, after filling out necessary paperwork in the Maelstrom Navy. He was inducted into the 'Cuda's 5th Squadron, 2nd Levy. The old Hyur was Shido's primary caretaker, teaching him about the world and how to work, with the rest of the crew always willing to lend a hand. Reluctant to open up at first, he finally took comfort in these men and considered them to be his family after a year and a half. The ship's crew quickly took a liking to Shido, as he was the youngest on the ship, they taught him a variety of skills, one being the current fencing style he uses today. At the age of twelve Shido was an official member of the Barracuda levy, and about this point is when Shido started to excel at fencing, learning very advanced techniques, from a quarte to a prise de fer. He also started to fight in clubs in Limsa's underground, ironically fighting many pirates, for he did not hold a grudge against pirates as a whole, but rather the specific one's that raided his ship years ago. Missing his mother dearly, he went and got a tattoo of a pink heart near the corner of his right eye. He spents his days drinking, fighting, and working, saving every bit of money on the way. He hated the gambling that went all around the ship, but loved playing dice and cards with the crew.

===Gridania===

When Shido hit the age of 19, the mop-hand died of old age, and he volunteered for an assignment that located in Gridania, this is when he finally experienced his first love. He met a young Miqo'te girl about his age, maybe a year younger, while loading and unloading supplies sent from Limsa. His mates constantly teased him and his puppy love, telling him to just talk to her. Shido had no experience with the other gender, and was painfully shy, when one day the Miqo' girl came up to him and gave him a rose. She smiled at him and ran away, leaving a blushing Shido standing there by himself. These small acts continued for a year, which he did smalls acts as such in return such as; writing her letters and leaving it by her door, cooking an extra lunch and dropping it by the window of her room, and constantly waved everytime he saw her (which was quite embarassing for her.) By the end of the first year, Shido had finally learnt her name, K'neko, and was completely head-over-heels for the lass. They started to spend the weekends together then she started to be outcasted by her fellow schoolmates and friends for hanging out with a "Lominsan Mutt." He came to the conclusion that he had to start avoiding her, no matter how much he didn't want to, it was what's best...right? By the end of the second year, Shido was preparing to leave for a mission to Mor Dhona, but the only thing on his mind was K'neko. A day before he set off, K'neko found him hanging outside of her home. She was absolutely elated upon seeing the white-haired sailor and rushed out to meet him. They hung out for the day and caught up, resparking the chemistry between the two. That was the first time Shido had experience a night of passion and knew for sure that this was the woman that he would want to spend the rest of his life with.

===Carteneau===

Shido had hit the age of 21 and his levy was set off, bound for Mor Dhona, a couple weeks before Carteneau ensued. K'neko met him at the port and they made a promise to find eachother again and shared a parting kiss. On the way, a strange mist rolled up upon the ship, once they were nearing the coast and the ship crashed into a jagged rock, wrecking the ships into splinters. All of the crew survived and washed up upon the shore, the crew took the whole day to gather what supplies they had left and made way to Old Revenant's Toll. Once they arrived, they were given new clothes and were charged with being reinforcements, should the battle need them. Once the battle started, Shido was charged with protecting a supply camp when a sudden call for reinforcements was heard. His unit was to be ready and sent to the frontline in fifteen minutes. Once he made it to the frontlines and thrown into the full of the fight, he had great difficultly, for his fencing-style was made more to fight an enemy one on one. Multiple opponents surrounded him, but with the help of the comrades around him, he prevailed, and was exhausted. Despite his exhaustion he fought as hard as his body would allow him, using every dirty trick he had up his sleeve, literally. He used the whiskey he kept in his boot and drenched multiple enemies, and a Gridanian mage set them ablaze. He looked back at the mage, and his eyes lit up instantly, "K'neko!" He exclaimed. The those words left his mouth, a Garlean Centurion knocked Shido unconscious,as the battle was coming to a close and Shido was dragged out by a certain Gridanian Mage, and he was sent back to Limsa once the fighting had stopped. Once back in Limsa Lominsa, Shido slept in his coma for 3 months.

===A New Adventure===

Once Shido woke up from his coma, he was diagnosed with a mild case of amnesia, forgetting all of the events of Carteneau. He learned that he was there and that his whole crew had sacrificed themselves in the war. Distraught and disheartened from the loss of yet another family, he left the Barracudas shortly after being assigned to his new levy. Shido then decided to use the money he inherited and the money he saved up all these years to buy his way to Gridania, in hope of finding the girl that caught his eye so many years ago. In Gridania he found no sign of her, and asked around, learning that she had disappeared after the Calamity. He stayed there for about a month to help in the building of new projects, and finally a common swindler suggested that he invest his money into a company that would manufacture armor on a world-basis. Naive as Shido was, he accepted and the swindler ran off with Shido's money the day of. Now with not a penny to his name, he set out once more, now as an adventurer, after losing everything he had worked for. Through his travels he learned to be an expert chef, some even dubbing him as the "Whiskey Wizard of Cooking," which he then later adapted to the Beach Wizard. Due to his cooking, he enjoys good food and good alcohol, frowning upon simple meals and cheap liquor. Shido became quite fond of Costa del Sol, so whenever he was in La Noscea that was the one place he is seen most at, due to the fact that there were no shortage of cute vacationers he's spent nights of passion with, but it will never be enough to satisfy the enormous gap in his heart. This is where he met Sabathius Kath'lani, Shido was roaring drunk at the time, and came upon the giant crab that resides there, instantly picking a fight. Sabathius caught eye of this and rushed over to assist the drunk Miqo'te that was swinging around a sword recklessly. Sabathius was the one to actually defeat the crab and the two struck up a friendship almost instantly. Hitari came shortly after, looking for Shido, witnessing Shido trying to sell Sabathius an "excorsism," in which Sabathius refused. About a year later, after going there separate ways, the three formed The Tomial Order, as a company for adventurers.

===The Little Sister===
Haku was born when Shido was 7 years of age and she was sent to the Far-East to live with their grandparents. If there's one thing Shido loves in this world, it's his little sister. Recently, Shido made a trip to the far-east and brought Haku back with him, now he's constantly pestered by Haku and usually can usually be seen frantically loooking for her. She constantly causes trouble around to gain attention from Shido, making up for lost years.

===Vacation===
Shido had been missing for a while, only recently had he shown up again. Coming back, most of his friends had disappeared and no longer does he feel like a part of the company he had created with his family. Currently Shido spends his time looking for work, something to do, something to keep his mind busy.

He heard his mother scream as he watched his father's throat severed right before his eyes, a red mist forming in the air, a memory he will never forget. The pirates looked to Shido and his mother, and walked slowly towards them. They grabbed his mother and dragged her away from a crying Shido. Keeping his mother and himself captives on the ship, they assaulted both of them constantly.

This continued for two days, until on the second day, shouts came from the outside, " 'Cudas! Take what ye can 'n let's go!" The men currently in the room with Shido, grabbed his mother and one of them stuck his sword into her abdomen. The Elezen came to Shido and impaled him in the side, leaving him for dead. Shido laid there on the floor for what felt like two eternities, trying to deal with the immense pain in his side. He was looking at his mother, trying to find a sign of movement, but it was an effort for naught, once he heard footsteps coming from the direction of the doors. He looked up and saw an old Hyur man check his mother's body, and shake his head before proceeding to Shido. The old man looked at Shido with a mix of sympathy and worry, then yelled, "We got a live one 'ere!"

===The Knights of the Barracuda===

The old man turned out to be an ex-paladin working as a mop-hand for the Knights of the Barracuda. Shido was picked up by the ship and after gathering things from his parents' house, he was officially "adopted" by the ship, after filling out necessary paperwork in the Maelstrom Navy. He was inducted into the 'Cuda's 5th Squadron, 2nd Levy. The old Hyur was Shido's primary caretaker, teaching him about the world and how to work, with the rest of the crew always willing to lend a hand. Reluctant to open up at first, he finally took comfort in these men and considered them to be his family after a year and a half. The ship's crew quickly took a liking to Shido, as he was the youngest on the ship, they taught him a variety of skills, one being the current fencing style he uses today. At the age of twelve Shido was an official member of the Barracuda levy, and about this point is when Shido started to excel at fencing, learning very advanced techniques, from a quarte to a prise de fer. He also started to fight in clubs in Limsa's underground, ironically fighting many pirates, for he did not hold a grudge against pirates as a whole, but rather the specific one's that raided his ship years ago. Missing his mother dearly, he went and got a tattoo of a pink heart near the corner of his right eye. He spents his days drinking, fighting, and working, saving every bit of money on the way. He hated the gambling that went all around the ship, but loved playing dice and cards with the crew.

===Gridania===

When Shido hit the age of 19, the mop-hand died of old age, and he volunteered for an assignment that located in Gridania, this is when he finally experienced his first love. He met a young Miqo'te girl about his age, maybe a year younger, while loading and unloading supplies sent from Limsa. His mates constantly teased him and his puppy love, telling him to just talk to her. Shido had no experience with the other gender, and was painfully shy, when one day the Miqo' girl came up to him and gave him a rose. She smiled at him and ran away, leaving a blushing Shido standing there by himself. These small acts continued for a year, which he did smalls acts as such in return such as; writing her letters and leaving it by her door, cooking an extra lunch and dropping it by the window of her room, and constantly waved everytime he saw her (which was quite embarassing for her.) By the end of the first year, Shido had finally learnt her name, K'neko, and was completely head-over-heels for the lass. They started to spend the weekends together then she started to be outcasted by her fellow schoolmates and friends for hanging out with a "Lominsan Mutt." He came to the conclusion that he had to start avoiding her, no matter how much he didn't want to, it was what's best...right? By the end of the second year, Shido was preparing to leave for a mission to Mor Dhona, but the only thing on his mind was K'neko. A day before he set off, K'neko found him hanging outside of her home. She was absolutely elated upon seeing the white-haired sailor and rushed out to meet him. They hung out for the day and caught up, resparking the chemistry between the two. That was the first time Shido had experience a night of passion and knew for sure that this was the woman that he would want to spend the rest of his life with.

===Carteneau===

Shido had hit the age of 21 and his levy was set off, bound for Mor Dhona, a couple weeks before Carteneau ensued. K'neko met him at the port and they made a promise to find eachother again and shared a parting kiss. On the way, a strange mist rolled up upon the ship, once they were nearing the coast and the ship crashed into a jagged rock, wrecking the ships into splinters. All of the crew survived and washed up upon the shore, the crew took the whole day to gather what supplies they had left and made way to Old Revenant's Toll. Once they arrived, they were given new clothes and were charged with being reinforcements, should the battle need them. Once the battle started, Shido was charged with protecting a supply camp when a sudden call for reinforcements was heard. His unit was to be ready and sent to the frontline in fifteen minutes. Once he made it to the frontlines and thrown into the full of the fight, he had great difficultly, for his fencing-style was made more to fight an enemy one on one. Multiple opponents surrounded him, but with the help of the comrades around him, he prevailed, and was exhausted. Despite his exhaustion he fought as hard as his body would allow him, using every dirty trick he had up his sleeve, literally. He used the whiskey he kept in his boot and drenched multiple enemies, and a Gridanian mage set them ablaze. He looked back at the mage, and his eyes lit up instantly, "K'neko!" He exclaimed. The those words left his mouth, a Garlean Centurion knocked Shido unconscious,as the battle was coming to a close and Shido was dragged out by a certain Gridanian Mage, and he was sent back to Limsa once the fighting had stopped. Once back in Limsa Lominsa, Shido slept in his coma for 3 months.

===A New Adventure===

Once Shido woke up from his coma, he was diagnosed with a mild case of amnesia, forgetting all of the events of Carteneau. He learned that he was there and that his whole crew had sacrificed themselves in the war. Distraught and disheartened from the loss of yet another family, he left the Barracudas shortly after being assigned to his new levy. Shido then decided to use the money he inherited and the money he saved up all these years to buy his way to Gridania, in hope of finding the girl that caught his eye so many years ago. In Gridania he found no sign of her, and asked around, learning that she had disappeared after the Calamity. He stayed there for about a month to help in the building of new projects, and finally a common swindler suggested that he invest his money into a company that would manufacture armor on a world-basis. Naive as Shido was, he accepted and the swindler ran off with Shido's money the day of. Now with not a penny to his name, he set out once more, now as an adventurer, after losing everything he had worked for. Through his travels he learned to be an expert chef, some even dubbing him as the "Whiskey Wizard of Cooking," which he then later adapted to the Beach Wizard. Due to his cooking, he enjoys good food and good alcohol, frowning upon simple meals and cheap liquor. Shido became quite fond of Costa del Sol, so whenever he was in La Noscea that was the one place he is seen most at, due to the fact that there were no shortage of cute vacationers he's spent nights of passion with, but it will never be enough to satisfy the enormous gap in his heart. This is where he met Sabathius Kath'lani, Shido was roaring drunk at the time, and came upon the giant crab that resides there, instantly picking a fight. Sabathius caught eye of this and rushed over to assist the drunk Miqo'te that was swinging around a sword recklessly. Sabathius was the one to actually defeat the crab and the two struck up a friendship almost instantly. Hitari came shortly after, looking for Shido, witnessing Shido trying to sell Sabathius an "excorsism," in which Sabathius refused. About a year later, after going there separate ways, the three formed The Tomial Order, as a company for adventurers.

===The Little Sister===
Haku was born when Shido was 7 years of age and she was sent to the Far-East to live with their grandparents. If there's one thing Shido loves in this world, it's his little sister. Recently, Shido made a trip to the far-east and brought Haku back with him, now he's constantly pestered by Haku and usually can usually be seen frantically loooking for her. She constantly causes trouble around to gain attention from Shido, making up for lost years.

===Vacation===
Shido had been missing for a while, only recently had he shown up again. Coming back, most of his friends had disappeared and no longer does he feel like a part of the company he had created with his family. Currently Shido spends his time looking for work, something to do, something to keep his mind busy.

==Character==
===General===

Shido is currently living his life with no direction in mind, once a leader of his free company, the Tomial Order. Before the company formed he was freelancing any jobs he could get his hands on, all the while traveling throughout Eorzea to find a certain person he met just before the Calamity. He does not have great difficulty talking about his past, but usually leaves alot of it out, and doesn't tend to speak of the subject unless asked directly.

===Appearance===
Usually found smiling, and laughing, Shido is a Miqo'te with snow-white hair, adorned with golden tips. He is a bit on the taller spectrum of his race, usually beating even some Midlanders in height. His eyes are discolored, for no special reason only that he was born that way, his left eye golden-yellow, while his right ocean-blue. On his face he has tattoos on his cheek that his mother gave to him at a very young age, and near the corner of his right eye, he has a tattoo of a faded heart. His body may look a bit slim, but under all of his armor is a lean, muscular figure from years of training and traveling. Around his body stands quite a bit of slash and stab scars, mainly from the battle of Carteneau and his service in the Knights of the Barracuda. A very profound scar rested on the left side of his abdomen. Shido is usually seen with his red cuirass and boots on, symbolizing his favorite color and the place he calls home, he also wears a beret he recieved from his time in the Knights of the Barracudas.

===Personality===

Despite his care-free nature, Shido takes care in everything he does, and is very capable of handling himself in most situations. He is also extremely respectful to those who he has deemed worthy to earn his respect, and he tries not to judge until he figures out the true nature of a person. He tends to try to help others, either directly or indirectly, showing his loose compassion for everything.Usually not sober, though he has taken his drinking down a few levels, his behavior changes a great deal to a hot-headed/happy type. Shido speaks with a thick accent from his years of living in Limsa Lominsa, serving in the 'Cudas. He feels that loyalty, humility, courage, compassion and respect are the most important traits for a person.

==Combat==
===General===

Shido is somewhat of a master of fencing, though unorthodox in his style, he is extremely deadly with his cutlass. He learned how to fence from his father and his mates as a Barracuda, and adapted the fighting style to using up to three swords at once. He had also picked up the use of the shield in his early teens. Though not official, he has learned the ways of the Sultansworn from his mentor, an ex-paladin, further enhancing his abilities as a fighter. He is also very proficient at hand-to-hand combat, due to his early days participating in underground fighting clubs held at Limsa, though still no match for most Monks. His style consists of fighting a bit dirty with his cutlass and body. He also uses whatever he has on him, and his environment to face his opponent, always having more than one trick up his sleeve. Shido has no skill in magic or manifestation of Aether whatsoever.

==History==
===Early years in Ul'dah and Limsa Lominsa===

Shido was born in Ul'dah to a pair of Miqo'te, a far-eastern merchant and a Limsan native. His father, the merchant, is named Junpei Wahorah and his mother, Y'zula Rhikita met in Limsa Lominsa a few years back, and were living in Ul'dah at the time. They were not an overly-welathy family, but well-off some could argue, thus Shido was a bit spoiled growing up. Being the spoiled "rich" child he was constantly bullied and made no friends, unless you include the books he read. Witnessing this, his mother suggested that they move back to Limsa Lominsa, believing that Shido would fit in better with the children around there. One Shido turned the age of five, they set out and moved back to Limsa Lominsa, where they owned a nice house on the outskirts of the city. The bullying did lessen a bit, but it was still very profound, and would lead to Shido staying home and reading books from his father's collection. During this time his father would train Shido in the basics of fencing, building a solid foundation for his swordplay. This continued for three years, and reading stacks, upon stacks of books, he improved his education significantly for his age.

===Shido's Loss===

A few months after his 8th birthday, Shido's father took the family and a few crew members out for a trip to the Indigo Deep on his merchant ship, after months of pestering from Shido himself. They finally set sail for the Indigo Deep, expecting to come back in a a few days. Out on the Indigo, the family had a picnic with the crew, and Shido wandered off to the front of the ship, near the bow sprit. As he looked out onto the horizon with childish amazement, a small ship caught his eye, but he thought nothing of it. It came at incredible speed towards his father's ship and sudden realization hit him, he ran down to his parents and called out "Pirates!" The ship-hands jumped up to the railings, trying to ready the ship for sail, but it was too late. There were already hooks latched to the railings, with men climbing up with incredible speed. Shido stood there and watched as the crew fought off the pirates boarding, not noticing his mother running to him and picking him up. Y'zula rushed into the captain's quarters, Junpei follwoing closely behind. They shut the door behind them, listening to the butchering screams.

Shido's mother said to him in a frightened voice, "Remember no matter what happens, ye father and I will always love ye to death."

There was banging at the door as Junpei exclaimed, "That's right Shido, stay back!"

Y'zula grabbed Shido and held him close, retreating to the end of the room near the windows. A burly Hyur Midlander bust in through the door, and Junpei drew his sword. Shido always admired his father's skill in fencing, and Junpei fought valiantly, killing the intruder. It did prove to be a futile resistance, two Miqo'tes rushed in, followed by an Elezen, of whom which pinned Shido's father down. He heard his mother scream as he watched his father's throat severed right before his eyes, a red mist forming in the air, a memory he will never forget. The pirates looked to Shido and his mother, and walked slowly towards them. They grabbed his mother and dragged her away from a crying Shido. Keeping his mother and himself captives on the ship, they assaulted both of them constantly.

This continued for two days, until on the second day, shouts came from the outside, " 'Cudas! Take what ye can 'n let's go!" The men currently in the room with Shido, grabbed his mother and one of them stuck his sword into her abdomen. The Elezen came to Shido and impaled him in the side, leaving him for dead. Shido laid there on the floor for what felt like two eternities, trying to deal with the immense pain in his side. He was looking at his mother, trying to find a sign of movement, but it was an effort for naught, once he heard footsteps coming from the direction of the doors. He looked up and saw an old Hyur man check his mother's body, and shake his head before proceeding to Shido. The old man looked at Shido with a mix of sympathy and worry, then yelled, "We got a live one 'ere!"

===The Knights of the Barracuda===

The old man turned out to be an ex-paladin working as a mop-hand for the Knights of the Barracuda. Shido was picked up by the ship and after gathering things from his parents' house, he was officially "adopted" by the ship, after filling out necessary paperwork in the Maelstrom Navy. He was inducted into the 'Cuda's 5th Squadron, 2nd Levy. The old Hyur was Shido's primary caretaker, teaching him about the world and how to work, with the rest of the crew always willing to lend a hand. Reluctant to open up at first, he finally took comfort in these men and considered them to be his family after a year and a half. The ship's crew quickly took a liking to Shido, as he was the youngest on the ship, they taught him a variety of skills, one being the current fencing style he uses today. At the age of twelve Shido was an official member of the Barracuda levy, and about this point is when Shido started to excel at fencing, learning very advanced techniques, from a quarte to a prise de fer. He also started to fight in clubs in Limsa's underground, ironically fighting many pirates, for he did not hold a grudge against pirates as a whole, but rather the specific one's that raided his ship years ago. Missing his mother dearly, he went and got a tattoo of a pink heart near the corner of his right eye. He spents his days drinking, fighting, and working, saving every bit of money on the way. He hated the gambling that went all around the ship, but loved playing dice and cards with the crew.

===Gridania===

When Shido hit the age of 19, the mop-hand died of old age, and he volunteered for an assignment that located in Gridania, this is when he finally experienced his first love. He met a young Miqo'te girl about his age, maybe a year younger, while loading and unloading supplies sent from Limsa. His mates constantly teased him and his puppy love, telling him to just talk to her. Shido had no experience with the other gender, and was painfully shy, when one day the Miqo' girl came up to him and gave him a rose. She smiled at him and ran away, leaving a blushing Shido standing there by himself. These small acts continued for a year, which he did smalls acts as such in return such as; writing her letters and leaving it by her door, cooking an extra lunch and dropping it by the window of her room, and constantly waved everytime he saw her (which was quite embarassing for her.) By the end of the first year, Shido had finally learnt her name, K'neko, and was completely head-over-heels for the lass. They started to spend the weekends together then she started to be outcasted by her fellow schoolmates and friends for hanging out with a "Lominsan Mutt." He came to the conclusion that he had to start avoiding her, no matter how much he didn't want to, it was what's best...right? By the end of the second year, Shido was preparing to leave for a mission to Mor Dhona, but the only thing on his mind was K'neko. A day before he set off, K'neko found him hanging outside of her home. She was absolutely elated upon seeing the white-haired sailor and rushed out to meet him. They hung out for the day and caught up, resparking the chemistry between the two. That was the first time Shido had experience a night of passion and knew for sure that this was the woman that he would want to spend the rest of his life with.

===Carteneau===

Shido had hit the age of 21 and his levy was set off, bound for Mor Dhona, a couple weeks before Carteneau ensued. K'neko met him at the port and they made a promise to find eachother again and shared a parting kiss. On the way, a strange mist rolled up upon the ship, once they were nearing the coast and the ship crashed into a jagged rock, wrecking the ships into splinters.

Once back in Limsa Lominsa, Shido slept in his coma for 3 months.

===A New Adventure===

Once Shido woke up from his coma, he was diagnosed with a mild case of amnesia, forgetting all of the events of Carteneau.

==Character==
===General===

Shido is currently living his life with no direction in mind, once a leader of his free company, the Tomial Order. Before the company formed he was freelancing any jobs he could get his hands on, all the while traveling throughout Eorzea to find a certain person he met just before the Calamity. He does not have great difficulty talking about his past, but usually leaves alot of it out, and doesn't tend to speak of the subject unless asked directly.

===Appearance===
Usually found smiling, and laughing, Shido is a Miqo'te with snow-white hair, adorned with golden tips. He is a bit on the taller spectrum of his race, usually beating even some Midlanders in height. His eyes are discolored, for no special reason only that he was born that way, his left eye golden-yellow, while his right ocean-blue. On his face he has tattoos on his cheek that his mother gave to him at a very young age, and near the corner of his right eye, he has a tattoo of a faded heart. His body may look a bit slim, but under all of his armor is a lean, muscular figure from years of training and traveling. Around his body stands quite a bit of slash and stab scars, mainly from the battle of Carteneau and his service in the Knights of the Barracuda. A very profound scar rested on the left side of his abdomen. Shido is usually seen with his red cuirass and boots on, symbolizing his favorite color and the place he calls home, he also wears a beret he recieved from his time in the Knights of the Barracudas.

===Personality===

Despite his care-free nature, Shido takes care in everything he does, and is very capable of handling himself in most situations. He is also extremely respectful to those who he has deemed worthy to earn his respect, and he tries not to judge until he figures out the true nature of a person. He tends to try to help others, either directly or indirectly, showing his loose compassion for everything.Usually not sober, though he has taken his drinking down a few levels, his behavior changes a great deal to a hot-headed/happy type. Shido speaks with a thick accent from his years of living in Limsa Lominsa, serving in the 'Cudas. He feels that loyalty, humility, courage, compassion and respect are the most important traits for a person.

==Combat==
===General===

Shido is somewhat of a master of fencing, though unorthodox in his style, he is extremely deadly with his cutlass. He learned how to fence from his father and his mates as a Barracuda, and adapted the fighting style to using up to three swords at once. He had also picked up the use of the shield in his early teens. Though not official, he has learned the ways of the Sultansworn from his mentor, an ex-paladin, further enhancing his abilities as a fighter. He is also very proficient at hand-to-hand combat, due to his early days participating in underground fighting clubs held at Limsa, though still no match for most Monks. His style consists of fighting a bit dirty with his cutlass and body. He also uses whatever he has on him, and his environment to face his opponent, always having more than one trick up his sleeve. Shido has no skill in magic or manifestation of Aether whatsoever.

==History==
===Early years in Ul'dah and Limsa Lominsa===

Shido was born in Ul'dah to a pair of Miqo'te, a far-eastern merchant and a Limsan native. His father, the merchant, is named Junpei Wahorah and his mother, Y'zula Rhikita met in Limsa Lominsa a few years back, and were living in Ul'dah at the time. They were not an overly-welathy family, but well-off some could argue, thus Shido was a bit spoiled growing up. Being the spoiled "rich" child he was constantly bullied and made no friends, unless you include the books he read. Witnessing this, his mother suggested that they move back to Limsa Lominsa, believing that Shido would fit in better with the children around there. One Shido turned the age of five, they set out and moved back to Limsa Lominsa, where they owned a nice house on the outskirts of the city. The bullying did lessen a bit, but it was still very profound, and would lead to Shido staying home and reading books from his father's collection. During this time his father would train Shido in the basics of fencing, building a solid foundation for his swordplay. This continued for three years, and reading stacks, upon stacks of books, he improved his education significantly for his age.

===Shido's Loss===

A few months after his 8th birthday, Shido's father took the family and a few crew members out for a trip to the Indigo Deep on his merchant ship, after months of pestering from Shido himself. They finally set sail for the Indigo Deep, expecting to come back in a a few days. Out on the Indigo, the family had a picnic with the crew, and Shido wandered off to the front of the ship, near the bow sprit. As he looked out onto the horizon with childish amazement, a small ship caught his eye, but he thought nothing of it. It came at incredible speed towards his father's ship and sudden realization hit him, he ran down to his parents and called out "Pirates!" The ship-hands jumped up to the railings, trying to ready the ship for sail, but it was too late. There were already hooks latched to the railings, with men climbing up with incredible speed. Shido stood there and watched as the crew fought off the pirates boarding, not noticing his mother running to him and picking him up. Y'zula rushed into the captain's quarters, Junpei follwoing closely behind. They shut the door behind them, listening to the butchering screams.

Shido's mother said to him in a frightened voice, "Remember no matter what happens, ye father and I will always love ye to death."

There was banging at the door as Junpei exclaimed, "That's right Shido, stay back!"

Y'zula grabbed Shido and held him close, retreating to the end of the room near the windows. A burly Hyur Midlander bust in through the door, and Junpei drew his sword. Shido always admired his father's skill in fencing, and Junpei fought valiantly, killing the intruder. It did prove to be a futile resistance, two Miqo'tes rushed in, followed by an Elezen, of whom which pinned Shido's father down. He heard his mother scream as he watched his father's throat severed right before his eyes, a red mist forming in the air, a memory he will never forget. The pirates looked to Shido and his mother, and walked slowly towards them. They grabbed his mother and dragged her away from a crying Shido. Keeping his mother and himself captives on the ship, they assaulted both of them constantly.

This continued for two days, until on the second day, shouts came from the outside, " 'Cudas! Take what ye can 'n let's go!" The men currently in the room with Shido, grabbed his mother and one of them stuck his sword into her abdomen. The Elezen came to Shido and impaled him in the side, leaving him for dead. Shido laid there on the floor for what felt like two eternities, trying to deal with the immense pain in his side. He was looking at his mother, trying to find a sign of movement, but it was an effort for naught, once he heard footsteps coming from the direction of the doors. He looked up and saw an old Hyur man check his mother's body, and shake his head before proceeding to Shido. The old man looked at Shido with a mix of sympathy and worry, then yelled, "We got a live one 'ere!"

===The Knights of the Barracuda===

The old man turned out to be an ex-paladin working as a mop-hand for the Knights of the Barracuda. Shido was picked up by the ship and after gathering things from his parents' house, he was officially "adopted" by the ship, after filling out necessary paperwork in the Maelstrom Navy. He was inducted into the 'Cuda's 5th Squadron, 2nd Levy. The old Hyur was Shido's primary caretaker, teaching him about the world and how to work, with the rest of the crew always willing to lend a hand. Reluctant to open up at first, he finally took comfort in these men and considered them to be his family after a year and a half. The ship's crew quickly took a liking to Shido, as he was the youngest on the ship, they taught him a variety of skills, one being the current fencing style he uses today. At the age of twelve Shido was an official member of the Barracuda levy, and about this point is when Shido started to excel at fencing, learning very advanced techniques, from a quarte to a prise de fer. He also started to fight in clubs in Limsa's underground, ironically fighting many pirates, for he did not hold a grudge against pirates as a whole, but rather the specific one's that raided his ship years ago. Missing his mother dearly, he went and got a tattoo of a pink heart near the corner of his right eye. He spents his days drinking, fighting, and working, saving every bit of money on the way. He hated the gambling that went all around the ship, but loved playing dice and cards with the crew.

===Gridania===

When Shido hit the age of 19, the mop-hand died of old age, and he volunteered for an assignment that located in Gridania, this is when he finally experienced his first love. He met a young Miqo'te girl about his age, maybe a year younger, while loading and unloading supplies sent from Limsa. His mates constantly teased him and his puppy love, telling him to just talk to her. Shido had no experience with the other gender, and was painfully shy, when one day the Miqo' girl came up to him and gave him a rose. She smiled at him and ran away, leaving a blushing Shido standing there by himself. These small acts continued for a year, which he did smalls acts as such in return such as; writing her letters and leaving it by her door, cooking an extra lunch and dropping it by the window of her room, and constantly waved everytime he saw her (which was quite embarassing for her.) By the end of the first year, Shido had finally learnt her name, K'neko, and was completely head-over-heels for the lass. They started to spend the weekends together then she started to be outcasted by her fellow schoolmates and friends for hanging out with a "Lominsan Mutt." He came to the conclusion that he had to start avoiding her, no matter how much he didn't want to, it was what's best...right? By the end of the second year, Shido was preparing to leave for a mission to Mor Dhona, but the only thing on his mind was K'neko. A day before he set off, K'neko found him hanging outside of her home. She was absolutely elated upon seeing the white-haired sailor and rushed out to meet him. They hung out for the day and caught up, resparking the chemistry between the two. That was the first time Shido had experience a night of passion and knew for sure that this was the woman that he would want to spend the rest of his life with.

===Carteneau===

Shido had hit the age of 21 and his levy was set off, bound for Mor Dhona, a couple weeks before Carteneau ensued. K'neko met him at the port and they made a promise to find eachother again and shared a parting kiss. On the way, a strange mist rolled up upon the ship, once they were nearing the coast and the ship crashed into a jagged rock, wrecking the ships into splinters. All of the crew survived and washed up upon the shore, the crew took the whole day to gather what supplies they had left and made way to Old Revenant's Toll. Once they arrived, they were given new clothes and were charged with being reinforcements, should the battle need them. Once the battle started, Shido was charged with protecting a supply camp when a sudden call for reinforcements was heard. His unit was to be ready and sent to the frontline in fifteen minutes. Once he made it to the frontlines and thrown into the full of the fight, he had great difficultly, for his fencing-style was made more to fight an enemy one on one. Multiple opponents surrounded him, but with the help of the comrades around him, he prevailed, and was exhausted. Despite his exhaustion he fought as hard as his body would allow him, using every dirty trick he had up his sleeve, literally. He used the whiskey he kept in his boot and drenched multiple enemies, and a Gridanian mage set them ablaze. He looked back at the mage, and his eyes lit up instantly, "K'neko!" He exclaimed. The those words left his mouth, a Garlean Centurion knocked Shido unconscious,as the battle was coming to a close and Shido was dragged out by a certain Gridanian Mage, and he was sent back to Limsa once the fighting had stopped. Once back in Limsa Lominsa, Shido slept in his coma for 3 months.

===A New Adventure===

Once Shido woke up from his coma, he was diagnosed with a mild case of amnesia, forgetting all of the events of Carteneau. He learned that he was there and that his whole crew had sacrificed themselves in the war. Distraught and disheartened from the loss of yet another family, he left the Barracudas shortly after being assigned to his new levy. Shido then decided to use the money he inherited and the money he saved up all these years to buy his way to Gridania, in hope of finding the girl that caught his eye so many years ago. In Gridania he found no sign of her, and asked around, learning that she had disappeared after the Calamity. He stayed there for about a month to help in the building of new projects, and finally a common swindler suggested that he invest his money into a company that would manufacture armor on a world-basis. Naive as Shido was, he accepted and the swindler ran off with Shido's money the day of. Now with not a penny to his name, he set out once more, now as an adventurer, after losing everything he had worked for. Through his travels he learned to be an expert chef, some even dubbing him as the "Whiskey Wizard of Cooking," which he then later adapted to the Beach Wizard. Due to his cooking, he enjoys good food and good alcohol, frowning upon simple meals and cheap liquor. Shido became quite fond of Costa del Sol, so whenever he was in La Noscea that was the one place he is seen most at, due to the fact that there were no shortage of cute vacationers he's spent nights of passion with, but it will never be enough to satisfy the enormous gap in his heart. This is where he met Sabathius Kath'lani, Shido was roaring drunk at the time, and came upon the giant crab that resides there, instantly picking a fight. Sabathius caught eye of this and rushed over to assist the drunk Miqo'te that was swinging around a sword recklessly. Sabathius was the one to actually defeat the crab and the two struck up a friendship almost instantly. Hitari came shortly after, looking for Shido, witnessing Shido trying to sell Sabathius an "excorsism," in which Sabathius refused. About a year later, after going there separate ways, the three formed The Tomial Order, as a company for adventurers. He is now looking for a more permanent home and family.

===The Little Sister===
Haku was born when Shido was 7 years of age and she was sent to the Far-East to live with their grandparents. If there's one thing Shido loves in this world, it's his little sister. Recently, Shido made a trip to the far-east and brought Haku back with him, now he's constantly pestered by Haku and usually can usually be seen frantically loooking for her. She constantly causes trouble around to gain attention from Shido, making up for lost years.

Shido has no skill in magic or manifestation of Aether whatsoever.

==History==
===Early years in Ul'dah and Limsa Lominsa===

Shido was born in Ul'dah to a pair of Miqo'te, a far-eastern merchant and a Limsan native. His father, the merchant, is named Junpei Wahorah and his mother, Y'zula Rhikita met in Limsa Lominsa a few years back, and were living in Ul'dah at the time. They were not an overly-welathy family, but well-off some could argue, thus Shido was a bit spoiled growing up. Being the spoiled "rich" child he was constantly bullied and made no friends, unless you include the books he read. Witnessing this, his mother suggested that they move back to Limsa Lominsa, believing that Shido would fit in better with the children around there. One Shido turned the age of five, they set out and moved back to Limsa Lominsa, where they owned a nice house on the outskirts of the city. The bullying did lessen a bit, but it was still very profound, and would lead to Shido staying home and reading books from his father's collection. During this time his father would train Shido in the basics of fencing, building a solid foundation for his swordplay. This continued for three years, and reading stacks, upon stacks of books, he improved his education significantly for his age.

===Shido's Loss===

A few months after his 8th birthday, Shido's father took the family and a few crew members out for a trip to the Indigo Deep on his merchant ship, after months of pestering from Shido himself. They finally set sail for the Indigo Deep, expecting to come back in a a few days. Out on the Indigo, the family had a picnic with the crew, and Shido wandered off to the front of the ship, near the bow sprit. As he looked out onto the horizon with childish amazement, a small ship caught his eye, but he thought nothing of it. It came at incredible speed towards his father's ship and sudden realization hit him, he ran down to his parents and called out "Pirates!" The ship-hands jumped up to the railings, trying to ready the ship for sail, but it was too late. There were already hooks latched to the railings, with men climbing up with incredible speed. Shido stood there and watched as the crew fought off the pirates boarding, not noticing his mother running to him and picking him up. Y'zula rushed into the captain's quarters, Junpei follwoing closely behind. They shut the door behind them, listening to the butchering screams.

Shido's mother said to him in a frightened voice, "Remember no matter what happens, ye father and I will always love ye to death."

There was banging at the door as Junpei exclaimed, "That's right Shido, stay back!"

Y'zula grabbed Shido and held him close, retreating to the end of the room near the windows. A burly Hyur Midlander bust in through the door, and Junpei drew his sword. Shido always admired his father's skill in fencing, and Junpei fought valiantly, killing the intruder. It did prove to be a futile resistance, two Miqo'tes rushed in, followed by an Elezen, of whom which pinned Shido's father down. He heard his mother scream as he watched his father's throat severed right before his eyes, a red mist forming in the air, a memory he will never forget. The pirates looked to Shido and his mother, and walked slowly towards them. They grabbed his mother and dragged her away from a crying Shido. Keeping his mother and himself captives on the ship, they assaulted both of them constantly.

This continued for two days, until on the second day, shouts came from the outside, " 'Cudas! Take what ye can 'n let's go!" The men currently in the room with Shido, grabbed his mother and one of them stuck his sword into her abdomen. The Elezen came to Shido and impaled him in the side, leaving him for dead. Shido laid there on the floor for what felt like two eternities, trying to deal with the immense pain in his side. He was looking at his mother, trying to find a sign of movement, but it was an effort for naught, once he heard footsteps coming from the direction of the doors. He looked up and saw an old Hyur man check his mother's body, and shake his head before proceeding to Shido. The old man looked at Shido with a mix of sympathy and worry, then yelled, "We got a live one 'ere!"

===The Knights of the Barracuda===

The old man turned out to be an ex-paladin working as a mop-hand for the Knights of the Barracuda. Shido was picked up by the ship and after gathering things from his parents' house, he was officially "adopted" by the ship, after filling out necessary paperwork in the Maelstrom Navy. He was inducted into the 'Cuda's 5th Squadron, 2nd Levy. The old Hyur was Shido's primary caretaker, teaching him about the world and how to work, with the rest of the crew always willing to lend a hand. Reluctant to open up at first, he finally took comfort in these men and considered them to be his family after a year and a half. The ship's crew quickly took a liking to Shido, as he was the youngest on the ship, they taught him a variety of skills, one being the current fencing style he uses today. At the age of twelve Shido was an official member of the Barracuda levy, and about this point is when Shido started to excel at fencing, learning very advanced techniques, from a quarte to a prise de fer. He also started to fight in clubs in Limsa's underground, ironically fighting many pirates, for he did not hold a grudge against pirates as a whole, but rather the specific one's that raided his ship years ago. Missing his mother dearly, he went and got a tattoo of a pink heart near the corner of his right eye. He spents his days drinking, fighting, and working, saving every bit of money on the way. He hated the gambling that went all around the ship, but loved playing dice and cards with the crew.

===Gridania===

When Shido hit the age of 19, the mop-hand died of old age, and he volunteered for an assignment that located in Gridania, this is when he finally experienced his first love. He met a young Miqo'te girl about his age, maybe a year younger, while loading and unloading supplies sent from Limsa. His mates constantly teased him and his puppy love, telling him to just talk to her. Shido had no experience with the other gender, and was painfully shy, when one day the Miqo' girl came up to him and gave him a rose. She smiled at him and ran away, leaving a blushing Shido standing there by himself. These small acts continued for a year, which he did smalls acts as such in return such as; writing her letters and leaving it by her door, cooking an extra lunch and dropping it by the window of her room, and constantly waved everytime he saw her (which was quite embarassing for her.) By the end of the first year, Shido had finally learnt her name, K'neko, and was completely head-over-heels for the lass. They started to spend the weekends together then she started to be outcasted by her fellow schoolmates and friends for hanging out with a "Lominsan Mutt." He came to the conclusion that he had to start avoiding her, no matter how much he didn't want to, it was what's best...right? By the end of the second year, Shido was preparing to leave for a mission to Mor Dhona, but the only thing on his mind was K'neko. A day before he set off, K'neko found him hanging outside of her home. She was absolutely elated upon seeing the white-haired sailor and rushed out to meet him. They hung out for the day and caught up, resparking the chemistry between the two. That was the first time Shido had experience a night of passion and knew for sure that this was the woman that he would want to spend the rest of his life with.

===Carteneau===

Shido had hit the age of 18 and his levy was set off, bound for Mor Dhona, a couple weeks before Carteneau ensued. K'neko met him at the port and they made a promise to find eachother again and shared a parting kiss. On the way, a strange mist rolled up upon the ship, once they were nearing the coast and the ship crashed into a jagged rock, wrecking the ships into splinters. All of the crew survived and washed up upon the shore, the crew took the whole day to gather what supplies they had left and made way to Old Revenant's Toll. Once they arrived, they were given new clothes and were charged with being reinforcements, should the battle need them. Once the battle started, Shido was charged with protecting a supply camp when a sudden call for reinforcements was heard. His unit was to be ready and sent to the frontline in fifteen minutes. Once he made it to the frontlines and thrown into the full of the fight, he had great difficultly, for his fencing-style was made more to fight an enemy one on one. Multiple opponents surrounded him, but with the help of the comrades around him, he prevailed, and was exhausted. Despite his exhaustion he fought as hard as his body would allow him, using every dirty trick he had up his sleeve, literally. He used the whiskey he kept in his boot and drenched multiple enemies, and a Gridanian mage set them ablaze. He looked back at the mage, and his eyes lit up instantly, "K'neko!" He exclaimed. The those words left his mouth, a Garlean Centurion knocked Shido unconscious,as the battle was coming to a close and Shido was dragged out by a certain Gridanian Mage, and he was sent back to Limsa once the fighting had stopped. Once back in Limsa Lominsa, Shido slept in his coma for 3 months.

===A New Adventure===

Once Shido woke up from his coma, he was diagnosed with a mild case of amnesia, forgetting all of the events of Carteneau. He learned that he was there and that his whole crew had sacrificed themselves in the war. Distraught and disheartened from the loss of yet another family, he left the Barracudas shortly after being assigned to his new levy. Shido then decided to use the money he inherited and the money he saved up all these years to buy his way to Gridania, in hope of finding the girl that caught his eye so many years ago. In Gridania he found no sign of her, and asked around, learning that she had disappeared after the Calamity. He stayed there for about a month to help in the building of new projects, and finally a common swindler suggested that he invest his money into a company that would manufacture armor on a world-basis. Naive as Shido was, he accepted and the swindler ran off with Shido's money the day of. Now with not a penny to his name, he set out once more, now as an adventurer, after losing everything he had worked for. Through his travels he learned to be an expert chef, some even dubbing him as the "Whiskey Wizard of Cooking," which he then later adapted to the Beach Wizard. Due to his cooking, he enjoys good food and good alcohol, frowning upon simple meals and cheap liquor. Shido became quite fond of Costa del Sol, so whenever he was in La Noscea that was the one place he is seen most at, due to the fact that there were no shortage of cute vacationers he's spent nights of passion with, but it will never be enough to satisfy the enormous gap in his heart. This is where he met Sabathius Kath'lani, Shido was roaring drunk at the time, and came upon the giant crab that resides there, instantly picking a fight. Sabathius caught eye of this and rushed over to assist the drunk Miqo'te that was swinging around a sword recklessly. Sabathius was the one to actually defeat the crab and the two struck up a friendship almost instantly. Hitari came shortly after, looking for Shido, witnessing Shido trying to sell Sabathius an "excorsism," in which Sabathius refused. About a year later, after going there separate ways, the three formed The Tomial Order, as a company for adventurers. He is now looking for a more permanent home and family.

===The Little Sister===
Haku was born when Shido was 7 years of age and she was sent to the Far-East to live with their grandparents. If there's one thing Shido loves in this world, it's his little sister. Recently, Shido made a trip to the far-east and brought Haku back with him, now he's constantly pestered by Haku and usually can usually be seen frantically loooking for her. She constantly causes trouble around to gain attention from Shido, making up for lost years.

::*[[Sukina Cassady]]- Also just recently acquainted, Shido believes Sukina to have neverending potential, and a will to not give up. Having sparred with her once, he finds her style very rigid and traditional , although it also has a strong foundation, reminding him a bit of when he was training in the basics of fencing.

After talking to Aerius recently, Shido recruited him into the Order, in hopes that Aerius finds a place to belong to . By nature he sees Aerius as a very valuable, and peculiar, individual with a questionable set of skills, and motive unclear, despite this Shido feels that he can trust him.

::*[[Yonene Yone]]- A fresh recruit in most all terms, but a promising one. Shido personally loves to tease her, to see the kinds of reactions he can spark in her and those around him. He instanly suspected Hitari to be all over this Lalafell, and hw was correct. Shido also knows that Yonene cannot handle alcohol very well and is always amused to see her (try to) drink, sparking Shido to give her a glass whenever possible.

==Character==

===General===

Hitari was born in Ul'dah... maybe, to unknown parents and was taken in by a retired Lalafellan merchant couple and their daughter. She joined the Knights of the Barracuda after her adoptive parents died but left after the Calamity struck.

===Appearance===

Hitari is somewhat short for a woman her age coming in about 5'5". She is a little on the thin side but she makes up for it with lean muscle. Despite living in Ul'dah for the majority of her life, she is a little pale. Her eyes are a dark blue and she is always wearing an eye patch over her left eye, despite it being perfectly fine.

===Behavior===

Upon meeting her, she tends to wear her heart on her sleeve and once you get to know her and she opens up; she is kind, passionate, very loyal and just a little goofy. She tends to think with her heart rather than her head and that has led to many sticky situations. Get on her good side and you'll find that her caring nature reaches no bounds but get on her bad side and well... let's just say she sports a fairly short fuse and can throw a very mean punch.
====Personality Quirks====

::*Rubs the back of her neck when she is nervous and rubs her chin whenever she is thinking.
::*Has a deep and profound respect towards Lalafells.
::*Quite the sentimentalist, often hoards items that she deems special.
::*Absolutely crazy about food.
::*Tends to be a little flirtatious.

==Backstory==

[Being rewritten]

==Combat==

===General===

Hitari is an exceptional hand-to-hand combatant. She is agile, strong, and has good endurance and reflexes. When in a fight, she fights as if every move could be her last. Hitari tends to use her environment as her weapon or even a dirty trick or two just to get the upper hand in combat. (i.e. throwing sand, kicking up a dust cloud, etc.) Whenever she enters a real fight, she becomes laser focused and will not deviate her attention away from her opponent until either they go down, or she goes down. But when in a spar, she's the complete opposite. Always looking for an opportunity to throw in a taunt or joke; she will always play around with her partner unless reminded to be serious.

==Character==
===General===

Shido is currently living his life with no direction in mind, once a leader of his free company, the Tomial Order. Before the company formed he was freelancing any jobs he could get his hands on, all the while traveling throughout Eorzea to find a certain person he met just before the Calamity. He does not have great difficulty talking about his past, but usually leaves alot of it out, and doesn't tend to speak of the subject unless asked directly.

===Appearance===
Usually found smiling, and laughing, Shido is a Miqo'te with snow-white hair, adorned with golden tips. He is a bit on the taller spectrum of his race, usually beating even some Midlanders in height. His eyes are discolored, for no special reason only that he was born that way, his left eye golden-yellow, while his right ocean-blue. On his face he has tattoos on his cheek that his mother gave to him at a very young age, and near the corner of his right eye, he has a tattoo of a faded heart. His body may look a bit slim, but under all of his armor is a lean, muscular figure from years of training and traveling. Around his body stands quite a bit of slash and stab scars, mainly from the battle of Carteneau and his service in the Knights of the Barracuda. A very profound scar rested on the left side of his abdomen. Shido is usually seen with his red cuirass and boots on, symbolizing his favorite color and the place he calls home, he also wears a beret he recieved from his time in the Knights of the Barracudas.

===Personality===

Despite his care-free nature, Shido takes care in everything he does, and is very capable of handling himself in most situations. He is also extremely respectful to those who he has deemed worthy to earn his respect, and he tries not to judge until he figures out the true nature of a person. He tends to try to help others, either directly or indirectly, showing his loose compassion for everything.Usually not sober, though he has taken his drinking down a few levels, his behavior changes a great deal to a hot-headed/happy type. Shido speaks with a thick accent from his years of living in Limsa Lominsa, serving in the 'Cudas. He feels that loyalty, humility, courage, compassion and respect are the most important traits for a person.

==Combat==
===General===

Shido is somewhat of a master of fencing, though unorthodox in his style, he is extremely deadly with his cutlass. He learned how to fence from his father and his mates as a Barracuda, and adapted the fighting style to using up to three swords at once. He had also picked up the use of the shield in his early teens. Though not official, he has learned the ways of the Sultansworn from his mentor, an ex-paladin, further enhancing his abilities as a fighter. He is also very proficient at hand-to-hand combat, due to his early days participating in underground fighting clubs held at Limsa, though still no match for most Monks. His style consists of fighting a bit dirty with his cutlass and body. He also uses whatever he has on him, and his environment to face his opponent, always having more than one trick up his sleeve. Shido has no skill in magic or manifestation of Aether whatsoever.

==History==
===Early years in Ul'dah and Limsa Lominsa===

Shido was born in Ul'dah to a pair of Miqo'te, a far-eastern merchant and a Limsan native. His father, the merchant, is named Junpei Wahorah and his mother, Y'zula Rhikita met in Limsa Lominsa a few years back, and were living in Ul'dah at the time. They were not an overly-welathy family, but well-off some could argue, thus Shido was a bit spoiled growing up. Being the spoiled "rich" child he was constantly bullied and made no friends, unless you include the books he read. Witnessing this, his mother suggested that they move back to Limsa Lominsa, believing that Shido would fit in better with the children around there. One Shido turned the age of five, they set out and moved back to Limsa Lominsa, where they owned a nice house on the outskirts of the city. The bullying did lessen a bit, but it was still very profound, and would lead to Shido staying home and reading books from his father's collection. During this time his father would train Shido in the basics of fencing, building a solid foundation for his swordplay. This continued for three years, and reading stacks, upon stacks of books, he improved his education significantly for his age.

===Shido's Loss===

A few months after his 8th birthday, Shido's father took the family and a few crew members out for a trip to the Indigo Deep on his merchant ship, after months of pestering from Shido himself. They finally set sail for the Indigo Deep, expecting to come back in a a few days. Out on the Indigo, the family had a picnic with the crew, and Shido wandered off to the front of the ship, near the bow sprit. As he looked out onto the horizon with childish amazement, a small ship caught his eye, but he thought nothing of it. It came at incredible speed towards his father's ship and sudden realization hit him, he ran down to his parents and called out "Pirates!" The ship-hands jumped up to the railings, trying to ready the ship for sail, but it was too late. There were already hooks latched to the railings, with men climbing up with incredible speed. Shido stood there and watched as the crew fought off the pirates boarding, not noticing his mother running to him and picking him up. Y'zula rushed into the captain's quarters, Junpei follwoing closely behind. They shut the door behind them, listening to the butchering screams.

Shido's mother said to him in a frightened voice, "Remember no matter what happens, ye father and I will always love ye to death."

There was banging at the door as Junpei exclaimed, "That's right Shido, stay back!"

Y'zula grabbed Shido and held him close, retreating to the end of the room near the windows. A burly Hyur Midlander bust in through the door, and Junpei drew his sword. Shido always admired his father's skill in fencing, and Junpei fought valiantly, killing the intruder. It did prove to be a futile resistance, two Miqo'tes rushed in, followed by an Elezen, of whom which pinned Shido's father down. He heard his mother scream as he watched his father's throat severed right before his eyes, a red mist forming in the air, a memory he will never forget. The pirates looked to Shido and his mother, and walked slowly towards them. They grabbed his mother and dragged her away from a crying Shido. Keeping his mother and himself captives on the ship, they assaulted both of them constantly.

This continued for two days, until on the second day, shouts came from the outside, " 'Cudas! Take what ye can 'n let's go!" The men currently in the room with Shido, grabbed his mother and one of them stuck his sword into her abdomen. The Elezen came to Shido and impaled him in the side, leaving him for dead. Shido laid there on the floor for what felt like two eternities, trying to deal with the immense pain in his side. He was looking at his mother, trying to find a sign of movement, but it was an effort for naught, once he heard footsteps coming from the direction of the doors. He looked up and saw an old Hyur man check his mother's body, and shake his head before proceeding to Shido. The old man looked at Shido with a mix of sympathy and worry, then yelled, "We got a live one 'ere!"

===The Knights of the Barracuda===

The old man turned out to be an ex-paladin working as a mop-hand for the Knights of the Barracuda. Shido was picked up by the ship and after gathering things from his parents' house, he was officially "adopted" by the ship, after filling out necessary paperwork in the Maelstrom Navy. He was inducted into the 'Cuda's 5th Squadron, 2nd Levy. The old Hyur was Shido's primary caretaker, teaching him about the world and how to work, with the rest of the crew always willing to lend a hand. Reluctant to open up at first, he finally took comfort in these men and considered them to be his family after a year and a half. The ship's crew quickly took a liking to Shido, as he was the youngest on the ship, they taught him a variety of skills, one being the current fencing style he uses today. At the age of twelve Shido was an official member of the Barracuda levy, and about this point is when Shido started to excel at fencing, learning very advanced techniques, from a quarte to a prise de fer. He also started to fight in clubs in Limsa's underground, ironically fighting many pirates, for he did not hold a grudge against pirates as a whole, but rather the specific one's that raided his ship years ago. Missing his mother dearly, he went and got a tattoo of a pink heart near the corner of his right eye. He spents his days drinking, fighting, and working, saving every bit of money on the way. He hated the gambling that went all around the ship, but loved playing dice and cards with the crew.

===Gridania===

When Shido hit the age of 16, the mop-hand died of old age, and he volunteered for an assignment that located in Gridania, this is when he finally experienced his first love. He met a young Miqo'te girl about his age, maybe a year younger, while loading and unloading supplies sent from Limsa. His mates constantly teased him and his puppy love, telling him to just talk to her. Shido had no experience with the other gender, and was painfully shy, when one day the Miqo' girl came up to him and gave him a rose. She smiled at him and ran away, leaving a blushing Shido standing there by himself. These small acts continued for a year, which he did smalls acts as such in return such as; writing her letters and leaving it by her door, cooking an extra lunch and dropping it by the window of her room, and constantly waved everytime he saw her (which was quite embarassing for her.) By the end of the first year, Shido had finally learnt her name, K'neko, and was completely head-over-heels for the lass. They started to spend the weekends together then she started to be outcasted by her fellow schoolmates and friends for hanging out with a "Lominsan Mutt." He came to the conclusion that he had to start avoiding her, no matter how much he didn't want to, it was what's best...right? By the end of the second year, Shido was preparing to leave for a mission to Mor Dhona, but the only thing on his mind was K'neko. A day before he set off, K'neko found him hanging outside of her home. She was absolutely elated upon seeing the white-haired sailor and rushed out to meet him. They hung out for the day and caught up, resparking the chemistry between the two. That was the first time Shido had experience a night of passion and knew for sure that this was the woman that he would want to spend the rest of his life with.

===Carteneau===

Shido had hit the age of 18 and his levy was set off, bound for Mor Dhona, a couple weeks before Carteneau ensued. K'neko met him at the port and they made a promise to find eachother again and shared a parting kiss. On the way, a strange mist rolled up upon the ship, once they were nearing the coast and the ship crashed into a jagged rock, wrecking the ships into splinters. All of the crew survived and washed up upon the shore, the crew took the whole day to gather what supplies they had left and made way to Old Revenant's Toll. Once they arrived, they were given new clothes and were charged with being reinforcements, should the battle need them. Once the battle started, Shido was charged with protecting a supply camp when a sudden call for reinforcements was heard. His unit was to be ready and sent to the frontline in fifteen minutes. Once he made it to the frontlines and thrown into the full of the fight, he had great difficultly, for his fencing-style was made more to fight an enemy one on one. Multiple opponents surrounded him, but with the help of the comrades around him, he prevailed, and was exhausted. Despite his exhaustion he fought as hard as his body would allow him, using every dirty trick he had up his sleeve, literally. He used the whiskey he kept in his boot and drenched multiple enemies, and a Gridanian mage set them ablaze. He looked back at the mage, and his eyes lit up instantly, "K'neko!" He exclaimed. The those words left his mouth, a Garlean Centurion knocked Shido unconscious,as the battle was coming to a close and Shido was dragged out by a certain Gridanian Mage, and he was sent back to Limsa once the fighting had stopped. Once back in Limsa Lominsa, Shido slept in his coma for 3 months.

===A New Adventure===

Once Shido woke up from his coma, he was diagnosed with a mild case of amnesia, forgetting all of the events of Carteneau. He learned that he was there and that his whole crew had sacrificed themselves in the war. Distraught and disheartened from the loss of yet another family, he left the Barracudas shortly after being assigned to his new levy. Shido then decided to use the money he inherited and the money he saved up all these years to buy his way to Gridania, in hope of finding the girl that caught his eye so many years ago. In Gridania he found no sign of her, and asked around, learning that she had disappeared after the Calamity. He stayed there for about a month to help in the building of new projects, and finally a common swindler suggested that he invest his money into a company that would manufacture armor on a world-basis. Naive as Shido was, he accepted and the swindler ran off with Shido's money the day of. Now with not a penny to his name, he set out once more, now as an adventurer, after losing everything he had worked for. Through his travels he learned to be an expert chef, some even dubbing him as the "Whiskey Wizard of Cooking," which he then later adapted to the Beach Wizard. Due to his cooking, he enjoys good food and good alcohol, frowning upon simple meals and cheap liquor. Shido became quite fond of Costa del Sol, so whenever he was in La Noscea that was the one place he is seen most at, due to the fact that there were no shortage of cute vacationers he's spent nights of passion with, but it will never be enough to satisfy the enormous gap in his heart. This is where he met Sabathius Kath'lani, Shido was roaring drunk at the time, and came upon the giant crab that resides there, instantly picking a fight. Sabathius caught eye of this and rushed over to assist the drunk Miqo'te that was swinging around a sword recklessly. Sabathius was the one to actually defeat the crab and the two struck up a friendship almost instantly. Hitari came shortly after, looking for Shido, witnessing Shido trying to sell Sabathius an "excorsism," in which Sabathius refused. About a year later, after going there separate ways, the three formed The Tomial Order, as a company for adventurers. He is now looking for a more permanent home and family.

===The Little Sister===
Haku was born when Shido was 7 years of age and she was sent to the Far-East to live with their grandparents. If there's one thing Shido loves in this world, it's his little sister. Recently, Shido made a trip to the far-east and brought Haku back with him, now he's constantly pestered by Haku and usually can usually be seen frantically loooking for her. She constantly causes trouble around to gain attention from Shido, making up for lost years.

Though not what he would pick for himself, Shido likes Ragnar's fighting style, it shows a vast control in his plentiful strength.

::*[[Sukina Cassady]]- Also just recently acquainted, Shido believes Sukina to have neverending potential, and a will to not give up. Having sparred with her once, he finds her style very rigid and traditional , although it also has a strong foundation, reminding him a bit of when he was training in the basics of fencing. Shido, being an experienced fighter, feels a bit of shame when watching Sukina fight with such valor.

::*[[Aerack Dawnshadow]]- See's Aerack as an extremely good-hearted invidual with a mission, much like his own. Aerack is searching for his sister, and Shido hopes to help him in this quest. He recruited Aerack into the Order at The Drowning Wench, suspecting he was new to the city. Though never seeing Aerack in combat, Shido commends him for sparring with Ragnar, a great feat not easily done.

::*[[Aerius Destroven]]- Shido met this particular person a long time ago at the Quicksand. Shido was incredibly drunk each time, and often approached Aerius as the Beach Wizard. After talking to Aerius recently, Shido recruited him into the Order, in hopes that Aerius finds a place to belong to . By nature he sees Aerius as a very valuable, and peculiar, individual with a questionable set of skills, and motive unclear, despite this Shido feels that he can trust him.

::*[[Yonene Yone]]- A fresh recruit in most all terms, but a promising one. Shido personally loves to tease her, to see the kinds of reactions he can spark in her and those around him. He instanly suspected Hitari to be all over this Lalafell, and hw was correct. Shido also knows that Yonene cannot handle alcohol very well and is always amused to see her (try to) drink, sparking Shido to give her a glass whenever possible.

==Character==
===General===

Shido is more or less a freelancing Paladin currently living his life as a leader of The Tomial Order, an adventurer-based company. Before the company formed he was freelancing any jobs he could get his hands on, all the while traveling throughout Eorzea to find a certain person he met 9 years ago. He does not have great difficulty talking about his past, but usually leaves alot of it out, and doesn't tend to speak of the subject unless asked to by someone he trusts.

===Appearance===
Usually found smiling, and laughing, Shido is a Miqo'te with snow-white hair, adorned with golden tips. He is a bit on the taller spectrum of his race, usually beating even some Hyur Midlanders in height. His eyes are discolored, for no special reason only that he was born that way, his left eye golden-yellow, while his right ocean-blue. On his face he has tattoos on his cheek that his mother gave to him at a very young age, and near the corner of his right eye, he has a tattoo of a faded heart. His body may look a bit slim, but under all of his armor is a lean, muscular figure from years of training and traveling. Around his body stands quite a bit of slash and stab scars, mainly from the battle of Carteneau and his adventures. A very big scar, more profound then the others, rested on Shido's left side. Shido is usually seen with his red cuirass and boots on, symbolizing his favorite color and the city he comes from, he also wears a beret he got from his time in the Knights of the Barracudas.

===Personality===

Despite his care-free nature, Shido takes care in everything he does, and is very capable of handling himself in most situations. He is also extremely respectful to those who he has deemed worthy to earn his respect, and he tried not to judge until he figures out the true nature of a person. He tends to try to help others, either directly or indirectly, showing his loose compassion for everything. Tends to be drunk more often than not, though he has calmed down a great amount, his behavior changes a great deal to a hot-headed/happy type. Shido speaks with a thick accent from his years of living in Limsa Lominsa, and time serving in the 'Cudas. He feels that loyalty, humility, courage, and respect are the most important traits for a person.

==Combat==
===General===

Shido is somewhat of a master of fencing, though unorthodox in his style, he is extremely deadly with a one-handed sword. He learned how to fence from his father and his mates as a Barracuda, he had also picked up the use of the shield in his early teens. Though not official, he has learned the ways of the Sultansworn from his caretaker, an ex-paladin, further enhancing his abilities as a fighter. He is also very proficient at hand-to-hand combat and in his early days participated in underground fighting clubs held at Limsa, though still no match for Hitari head on. His style consists of using a single sword to fence and he throws in a mix of kicks and punches. He also uses whatever he has on him, and his environment to face his opponent, always having more than one trick up his sleeve. Shido has no skill in magic or manifestation of Aether whatsoever.

==History==
===Early years in Ul'dah and Limsa Lominsa===

Shido was born in Ul'dah to a pair of Miqo'te, a far-eastern merchant and a Limsan native. His father, the merchant, is named Junpei Wahorah and his mother, Y'zula Rhikita met an Limsa Lominsa a few years back, and were living in Ul'dah at the time. They were not an overly-welathy family, but well-off some could argue, thus Shido was a bit spoiled growing up. Being the spoiled "rich" child he was constantly bullied and made no friends, unless you include the books he read. Witnessing this, his mother suggested that they move back to Limsa Lominsa, believing that Shido would fit in better with the children around there. One Shido turned the age of five, they set out and moved back to Limsa Lominsa, where they owned a nice house on the outskirts of the city. The bullying did lessen a bit, but it was still very profound, and would lead to Shido staying home and reading books from his father's collection. During this time his father would train Shido in the basics of fencing, building a solid foundation for his swordplay. This continued for three years, and reading stacks, upon stacks of books, he improved his education significantly for his age.

===Shido's Loss===

A few months after his 8th birthday, Shido's father took the family and a few crew members out for a trip to the Indigo Deep on his merchant ship, after months of pestering from Shido himself. They finally set sail for the Indigo Deep, expecting to come back in a a few days. Out on the Indigo, the family had a picnic with the crew, and Shido wandered off to the front of the ship, near the bow sprit. As he looked out onto the horizon with childish amazement, a small ship caught his eye, but he thought nothing of it. It came at incredible speed towards his father's ship and sudden realization hit him, he ran down to his parents and called out "Pirates!" The ship-hands jumped up to the railings, trying to ready the ship for sail, but it was too late. There were already hooks latched to the railings, with men climbing up with incredible speed. Shido stood there and watched as the crew fought off the pirates boarding, not noticing his mother running to him and picking him up. Y'zula rushed into the captain's quarters, Junpei follwoing closely behind. They shut the door behind them, listening to the butchering screams.

Shido's mother said to him in a frightened voice, "Remember no matter what happens, ye father and I will always love ye to death."

There was banging at the door as Junpei exclaimed, "That's right Shido, stay back!"

Y'zula grabbed Shido and held him close, retreating to the end of the room near the windows. A burly Hyur Midlander bust in through the door, and Junpei drew his sword. Shido always admired his father's skill in fencing, and Junpei fought valiantly, killing the intruder. It did prove to be a futile resistance, two Miqo'tes rushed in, followed by an Elezen, of whom which pinned Shido's father down. He heard his mother scream as he watched his father's throat severed right before his eyes, a red mist forming in the air, a memory he will never forget. The pirates looked to Shido and his mother, and walked slowly towards them. They grabbed his mother and dragged her away from a crying Shido.

'''*Important please skip the next paragraph if you are bothered or disturbed by excessive violence and/or rape etc...'''

The pirates pulled Y'zula away, and proceeded to rip off her clothes. The Elezen came to Shido and tied him up, "Watch this, boy." The two Miqo'te pirates then raped Y'zula, with the Elezen forcing Shido to watch all the while. After all was said and done more pirates came in and did the same in turn to Y'zula, Shido being forced to watch again and again. He was then beaten whenever the men felt like it, and lost consciousness a number of times, only to wake up to the horrible sight again.

'''In summary of the last chapter, incase you skipped it, Shido's mother is raped, and Shido forced to watch over and over again.'''

This continued for two days, until on the second day, shouts came from the outside, " 'Cudas! Take what ye can 'n let's go!" The men currently in the room with Shido, grabbed his mother and one of them stuck his sword into her abdomen. The Elezen came to Shido and impaled him in the side, leaving him for dead. Shido laid there on the floor for what felt like two eternities, trying to deal with the immense pain in his side. He was looking at his mother, trying to find a sign of movement, but it was an effort for naught, once he heard footsteps coming from the direction of the doors. He looked up and saw an old Hyur man check his mother's body, and shake his head before proceeding to Shido. The old man looked at Shido with worry then yelled, "We got a live one 'ere!"

===The Knights of the Barracuda===

The old man turned out to be an ex-paladin working as a mop-hand for the Knights of the Barracuda. Shido was picked up by the ship and after gathering things from his parents' house, he was officially "adopted" by the ship, after getting the necessary paper work from the Maelstrom. The old Hyur was Shido's primary caretaker, teaching him about the world and how to work, with the rest of the crew always willing to lend a hand. Reluctant to open up at first, he finally took comfort in these men and considered them to be his family after a year and a half. The ship's crew quickly took a liking to Shido, as he was the youngest on the ship, they taught him a variety of skills, one being the current fencing style he uses today. At the age of twelve Shido was an official member of the Barracuda levy, and about this point is when Shido started to excel at fencing, learning very advanced techniques, from a quarte to a prise de fer. He also started to fight in clubs in Limsa's underground, ironically fighting many pirate, for he did not hold a grudge against pirates as a whole, but rather the specific one's that raided his ship years ago. Missing his mother dearly, he went and got a tattoo of a pink heart near the corner of his right eye. He spents his days drinking, fighting, and working, saving every bit of money on the way, for he hated to gamble, despite loving to play cards.

===First love===

When Shido hit the age of 17, the mop-hand died of old age, and he volunteered for a job that was stationed at Gridania, this is when he finally experienced his first love. He met a young Miqo'te girl about his age, maybe a year younger, while loading and unloading supplies sent from Limsa. His mates constantly teased him and his puppy love, telling him to just talk to her. Shido had no experience with the other gender, and was painfully shy, when one day the Miqo girl came up to him and gave him a rose. She smiled at him and ran away, leaving a blushing Shido standing there by himself. These small acts continued for a year, which he did smalls acts as such in return such as; writing her letters and leaving it by her door, cooking an extra lunch and dropping it by the window of her room, and constantly waved everytime he saw her (which was quite embarassing for her.) On his last day at after two years of working in Gridania, they had not yet even learned eachother's names, when the young Miqo girl came up and gave Shido a parting kiss a minute before he set off. She whispered into his ear, "K'neko Grishta," and she ran off into the woods back to Gridania, as Shido called after her, "Shido Itsuka!"

===Carteneau===

Shido had hit the age of 20 and his levy was set off, bound for Mor Dhona a few days before Carteneau ensued. On the way, a strange mist rolled up upon the ship, once they were nearing the coast and the ship crashed into a jagged rock, wrecking the ships into splinters. All of the crew survived and washed up upon the shore, the crew took the whole day to gather what supplies they had left and made way to Old Revenant's Toll. Once they arrived, they were given new clothes and were charged with being reinforcements, should the battle need them. Once the battle started, Shido was charged with protecting a supply camp when a sudden call for reinforcements was heard. His unit was to be ready and sent to the frontline in fifteen minutes. Once he made it to the frontlines and thrown into the full of the fight, he had great difficultly, for his fencing-style was made more to fight an enemy one on one. Multiple opponents surrounded him, but with the help of the comrades around him, he prevailed, and was exhausted. Despite his exhaustion he fought as hard as his body would allow him, using every dirty trick he had up his sleeve, literally. He used the whiskey he kept in his boot and drenched multiple enemies, and a Gridanian mage set them ablaze. He looked back at the mage, and his eyes lit up instantly, "K'neko!" He exclaimed. The those words left his mouth, a Garlean Centurion knocked Shido unconscious. The battle raged on and Shido was dragged out by a certain Gridanian Mage, and he was sent back to Limsa before the battle was over. Once back in Limsa Lominsa, Shido slept in his coma for 3 months.

===A New Adventure===

Once Shido woke up from his coma, he was diagnosed with a mild case of amnesia, forgetting all of the events of Carteneau. He learned that he was there and that his whole crew had sacrificed themselves in the war. Distraught and disheartened from the loss of yet another family, he left the Barracudas shortly after being assigned to his new levy. Shido then decided to use the money he inherited and the money he saved up all these years to buy his way to Gridania, in hope of finding the girl that caught his eye so many years ago. In Gridania he found no sign of her, and asked around, learning that she had disappeared after the Calamity. He stayed there for about a month to help in the building of new projects, and finally a common swindler suggested that he invest his money into a company that would manufacture armor on a world-basis. Naive as Shido was, he accepted and the swindler ran off with Shido's money the day of. Now with not a penny to his name, he set out once more, now as an adventurer, after losing everything he had worked for. Through his travels he learned to be an expert chef, some even dubbing him as the "Whiskey Wizard of Cooking," which he then later adapted to the Beach Wizard. Due to his cooking, he enjoys good food and good alcohol, frowning upon simple meals and cheap liquor. Shido became quite fond of Costa del Sol, so whenever he was in La Noscea that was the one place he is seen most at, due to the fact that there were no shortage of cute vacationers he's spent nights of passion with, but it will never be enough to satisfy the enormous gap in his heart. This is where he met Sabathius Kath'lani, Shido was roaring drunk at the time, and came upon the giant crab that resides there, instantly picking a fight. Sabathius caught eye of this and rushed over to assist the drunk Miqo'te that was swinging around a sword recklessly. Sabathius was the one to actually defeat the crab and the two struck up a friendship almost instantly. Hitari came shortly after, looking for Shido, witnessing Shido trying to sell Sabathius an "excorsism," in which Sabathius refused. About a year later, after going there separate ways, the three formed The Tomial Order, as a company for adventurers. He is now looking for a more permanent home and family, which he hopes to find in the Order.

==History==
===Early years in Ul'dah and Limsa Lominsa===

Shido was born in Ul'dah to a pair of Miqo'te, a far-eastern merchant and a Limsan native. His father, the merchant, is named Junpei Wahorah and his mother, Y'zula Rhikita met an Limsa Lominsa a few years back, and were living in Ul'dah at the time. They were not an overly-welathy family, but well-off some could argue, thus Shido was a bit spoiled growing up. Being the spoiled "rich" child he was constantly bullied and made no friends, unless you include the books he read. Witnessing this, his mother suggested that they move back to Limsa Lominsa, believing that Shido would fit in better with the children around there. One Shido turned the age of five, they set out and moved back to Limsa Lominsa, where they owned a nice house on the outskirts of the city. The bullying did lessen a bit, but it was still very profound, and would lead to Shido staying home and reading books from his father's collection. During this time his father would train Shido in the basics of fencing, building a solid foundation for his swordplay. This continued for three years, and reading stacks, upon stacks of books, he improved his education significantly for his age.

===Shido's Loss===

A few months after his 8th birthday, Shido's father took the family and a few crew members out for a trip to the Indigo Deep on his merchant ship, after months of pestering from Shido himself. They finally set sail for the Indigo Deep, expecting to come back in a a few days. Out on the Indigo, the family had a picnic with the crew, and Shido wandered off to the front of the ship, near the bow sprit. As he looked out onto the horizon with childish amazement, a small ship caught his eye, but he thought nothing of it. It came at incredible speed towards his father's ship and sudden realization hit him, he ran down to his parents and called out "Pirates!" The ship-hands jumped up to the railings, trying to ready the ship for sail, but it was too late. There were already hooks latched to the railings, with men climbing up with incredible speed. Shido stood there and watched as the crew fought off the pirates boarding, not noticing his mother running to him and picking him up. Y'zula rushed into the captain's quarters, Junpei follwoing closely behind. They shut the door behind them, listening to the butchering screams.

Shido's mother said to him in a frightened voice, "Remember no matter what happens, ye father and I will always love ye to death."

There was banging at the door as Junpei exclaimed, "That's right Shido, stay back!"

Y'zula grabbed Shido and held him close, retreating to the end of the room near the windows. A burly Hyur Midlander bust in through the door, and Junpei drew his sword. Shido always admired his father's skill in fencing, and Junpei fought valiantly, killing the intruder. It did prove to be a futile resistance, two Miqo'tes rushed in, followed by an Elezen, of whom which pinned Shido's father down. He heard his mother scream as he watched his father's throat severed right before his eyes, a red mist forming in the air, a memory he will never forget. The pirates looked to Shido and his mother, and walked slowly towards them. They grabbed his mother and dragged her away from a crying Shido.

'''*Important please skip the next paragraph if you are bothered or disturbed by excessive violence and/or rape etc...'''

The pirates pulled Y'zula away, and proceeded to rip off her clothes. The Elezen came to Shido and tied him up, "Watch this, boy." The two Miqo'te pirates then raped Y'zula, with the Elezen forcing Shido to watch all the while. After all was said and done more pirates came in and did the same in turn to Y'zula, Shido being forced to watch again and again. He was then beaten whenever the men felt like it, and lost consciousness a number of times, only to wake up to the horrible sight again.

'''In summary of the last chapter, incase you skipped it, Shido's mother is raped, and Shido forced to watch over and over again.'''

This continued for two days, until on the second day, shouts came from the outside, " 'Cudas! Take what ye can 'n let's go!" The men currently in the room with Shido, grabbed his mother and one of them stuck his sword into her abdomen. The Elezen came to Shido and impaled him in the side, leaving him for dead. Shido laid there on the floor for what felt like two eternities, trying to deal with the immense pain in his side. He was looking at his mother, trying to find a sign of movement, but it was an effort for naught, once he heard footsteps coming from the direction of the doors. He looked up and saw an old Hyur man check his mother's body, and shake his head before proceeding to Shido. The old man looked at Shido with worry then yelled, "We got a live one 'ere!"

===The Knights of the Barracuda===

The old man turned out to be an ex-paladin working as a mop-hand for the Knights of the Barracuda. Shido was picked up by the ship and after gathering things from his parents' house, he was officially "adopted" by the ship, after getting the necessary paper work from the Maelstrom. The old Hyur was Shido's primary caretaker, teaching him about the world and how to work, with the rest of the crew always willing to lend a hand. Reluctant to open up at first, he finally took comfort in these men and considered them to be his family after a year and a half. The ship's crew quickly took a liking to Shido, as he was the youngest on the ship, they taught him a variety of skills, one being the current fencing style he uses today. At the age of twelve Shido was an official member of the Barracuda levy, and about this point is when Shido started to excel at fencing, learning very advanced techniques, from a quarte to a prise de fer.

He spents his days drinking, fighting, and working, saving every bit of money on the way, for he hated to gamble, despite loving to play cards.

===First love===

When Shido hit the age of 17, the mop-hand died of old age, and he volunteered for a job that was stationed at Gridania, this is when he finally experienced his first love. He met a young Miqo'te girl about his age, maybe a year younger, while loading and unloading supplies sent from Limsa. His mates constantly teased him and his puppy love, telling him to just talk to her. Shido had no experience with the other gender, and was painfully shy, when one day the Miqo girl came up to him and gave him a rose. She smiled at him and ran away, leaving a blushing Shido standing there by himself. These small acts continued for a year, which he did smalls acts as such in return such as; writing her letters and leaving it by her door, cooking an extra lunch and dropping it by the window of her room, and constantly waved everytime he saw her (which was quite embarassing for her.) On his last day at after two years of working in Gridania, they had not yet even learned eachother's names, when the young Miqo girl came up and gave Shido a parting kiss a minute before he set off. She whispered into his ear, "K'neko Grishta," and she ran off into the woods back to Gridania, as Shido called after her, "Shido Itsuka!"

===Carteneau===

Shido had hit the age of 20 and his levy was set off, bound for Mor Dhona a few days before Carteneau ensued. On the way, a strange mist rolled up upon the ship, once they were nearing the coast and the ship crashed into a jagged rock, wrecking the ships into splinters. All of the crew survived and washed up upon the shore, the crew took the whole day to gather what supplies they had left and made way to Old Revenant's Toll. Once they arrived, they were given new clothes and were charged with being reinforcements, should the battle need them. Once the battle started, Shido was charged with protecting a supply camp when a sudden call for reinforcements was heard. His unit was to be ready and sent to the frontline in fifteen minutes. Once he made it to the frontlines and thrown into the full of the fight, he had great difficultly, for his fencing-style was made more to fight an enemy one on one. Multiple opponents surrounded him, but with the help of the comrades around him, he prevailed, and was exhausted. Despite his exhaustion he fought as hard as his body would allow him, using every dirty trick he had up his sleeve, literally. He used the whiskey he kept in his boot and drenched multiple enemies, and a Gridanian mage set them ablaze. He looked back at the mage, and his eyes lit up instantly, "K'neko!" He exclaimed. The those words left his mouth, a Garlean Centurion knocked Shido unconscious. The battle raged on and Shido was dragged out by a certain Gridanian Mage, and he was sent back to Limsa before the battle was over. Once back in Limsa Lominsa, Shido slept in his coma for 3 months.

===A New Adventure===

Once Shido woke up from his coma, he was diagnosed with a mild case of amnesia, forgetting all of the events of Carteneau. He learned that he was there and that his whole crew had sacrificed themselves in the war. Distraught and disheartened from the loss of yet another family, he left the Barracudas shortly after being assigned to his new levy. Shido then decided to use the money he inherited and the money he saved up all these years to buy his way to Gridania, in hope of finding the girl that caught his eye so many years ago. In Gridania he found no sign of her, and asked around, learning that she had disappeared after the Calamity. He stayed there for about a month to help in the building of new projects, and finally a common swindler suggested that he invest his money into a company that would manufacture armor on a world-basis. Naive as Shido was, he accepted and the swindler ran off with Shido's money the day of. Now with not a penny to his name, he set out once more, now as an adventurer, after losing everything he had worked for. Through his travels he learned to be an expert chef, some even dubbing him as the "Whiskey Wizard of Cooking," which he then later adapted to the Beach Wizard. Due to his cooking, he enjoys good food and good alcohol, frowning upon simple meals and cheap liquor. Shido became quite fond of Costa del Sol, so whenever he was in La Noscea that was the one place he is seen most at, due to the fact that there were no shortage of cute vacationers he's spent nights of passion with, but it will never be enough to satisfy the enormous gap in his heart. This is where he met Sabathius Kath'lani, Shido was roaring drunk at the time, and came upon the giant crab that resides there, instantly picking a fight. Sabathius caught eye of this and rushed over to assist the drunk Miqo'te that was swinging around a sword recklessly. Sabathius was the one to actually defeat the crab and the two struck up a friendship almost instantly. Hitari came shortly after, looking for Shido, witnessing Shido trying to sell Sabathius an "excorsism," in which Sabathius refused. About a year later, after going there separate ways, the three formed The Tomial Order, as a company for adventurers. He is now looking for a more permanent home and family, which he hopes to find in the Order.

::*Hitari Senjougahara- One of Shido's closest friends, has a high respect for Hitari and her combat skill. Even believing that she may best him on the battlefield, given the circumstances. Thinks that she is a bit hot-headed, but this has proved to save his ass a countless number of times. She is a moderator for Shido if he gets too rowdy.

::*[[Sabathius Kath'Lani]]-Shido considers Sabathius as a brother to him, and Sab has earned an extreme amount of trust from Shido. He admires Sabathius' personality and tact, respecting his strong-willed character. Secretly he itches to fight Sabathius one day, testing their capabilities.

::*[[Ragnar Eisenberg]]- Looks to Ragnar as a big brother type fifigure, though recently acquainted, Shido almost idolizes Ragnar's friendly nature. Shido feels the two have a great relationship and a similar taste in humor. Though not what he would pick for himself, Shido likes Ragnar's fighting style, it shows a vast control in his plentiful strength.

::*[[Sukina Cassady]]- Also just recently acquainted, Shido believes Sukina to have neverending potential, and a will to not give up. Having sparred with her once, he finds her style very rigid and traditional , although it also has a strong foundation, reminding him a bit of when he was training in the basics of fencing. Shido, being an experienced fighter, feels a bit of shame when watching Sukina fight with such valor.

::*[[Aerack Dawnshadow]]- See's Aerack as an extremely good-hearted invidual with a mission, much like his own. Aerack is searching for his sister, and Shido hopes to help him in this quest. He recruited Aerack into the Order at The Drowning Wench, suspecting he was new to the city. Though never seeing Aerack in combat, Shido commends him for sparring with Ragnar, a great feat not easily done.

::* Aerius Destroven- Shido met this particular person a long time ago at the Quicksand. Shido was incredibly drunk each time, and often approached Aerius as the Beach Wizard. After talking to Aerius recently, Shido recruited him into the Order, in hopes that Aerius finds a place to belong to . By nature he sees Aerius as a very valuable, and peculiar, individual with a questionable set of skills, and motive unclear, despite this Shido feels that he can trust him.
