Theodorik Surefoot, a free-spirited child, settled in Limsa Lominsa with his Mother Kasimira Everforge, after fleeing the fall of Ala Mhigo. He apprenticed with his mother, an accomplished smith, and soon grew into his own in the craft. Against his mother’s wishes, he traveled to Ul’Dah at the age of 16. Joining the miners’ guild, Theodorik hoped to finally see the world and improve his knowledge of ores and metals. The city’s temptations, however, proved to be more than a young Theodorik could handle.

It wasn’t long until he fell into drinking, gambling, and chasing women. Neglecting his responsibilities to Guild and family, he eventually gained more debt than he could pay, which earned him an indentured servitude to a shady loan shark named Labraid Barrett. Labraid immediately set his newfound slave to work. Capitalizing on the boy’s imposing stature, Labraid used Theodorik as his unwilling muscle in many of his illegal ventures. It was on one of those ventures where the loan shark saw opportunity in Theodorik beyond that of a simple thug.

A fight broke out during the operation, a fight in which Theodorik had to fight for his life. While largely untrained, the boy had good instincts, raw talent, and a fair amount of luck, along with a good measure of physical and mental strength, which allowed him to emerge victorious. Labraid then found a new profession for his prized slave: a gladiator in the Coliseum.

Theodorik was thrown to the Bloodsands to win money for his master. Looking to test the boy’s mettle, Labraid watched eagerly as Theodorik went on to win his first few matches against exotic beasts gathered from across the realm. However, he soon realized that Theodorik’s talent would not be enough to earn him the fortune he sought. Labraid gave the boy over to the Gladiator’s Guild to train him to become the next rising star.

There was resistance to the decision to accept the slave of a less than reputable man, but there was a potential in the boy that few could deny, and a fire in his eyes that spoke of a passion for life. He was given a sword and shield, and immediately began his training under the watchful eye of the First Sword, Mylla. From dawn till dusk, Theodorik underwent grueling routines and drills at the hands of his trainers. Much of his first few weeks were spent in a somnambulant trance whenever he wasn’t training. However, he bore his hardships stoically and learned what he could with an earnestness that earned him the grudging respect of his peers and betters. Before long, that respect turned into a sense of camaraderie and he began to feel at home with the other gladiators of the guild. It was likely that camaraderie that saved his life.

Labraid, seeking to reap the benefits of his slave’s training and looking have his gladiator build a reputation, thrust Theodorik into a string of unforgiving matches on the Bloodsands. Mylla and others of the guild protested vehemently, as the fledgling fighter was scarcely a month into his tutelage. However, Labraid’s influence was simply too great and they were powerless to stop him.

While Theodorik fought brilliantly despite his inexperience, his exhaustion and his wounds from back to back fights began to take their toll. During one of his matches, one misstep saw him on his back with a Coerul atop him. The beast bit at him and its claws raked his body, tearing lines of searing agony across his flesh. It was his own stubborn determination that kept him alive long enough to slay the creature before he succumbed to his wounds.

Desperately clinging to life, Thedorik’s torn and bloodied body was dragged from the Coliseum floor while
onlookers cheered on the gory spectacle and clamored for the next event. The healers looked him over with a clinical detachment and determined him not worth the energy of saving. Theodorik’s body would have been tossed among those who had already been claimed by Thal if it were not for the intervention of his friends from the Gladiator’s Guild. Using what little money they could scrape together, they managed to at least convince the healers to do what they could, if only to give Theodorik a fighting chance.

Pulled from the brink of death, Theodorik clung to life with a tenacity only he knew. He was taken to a clandestine location to recuperate, away from the prying eyes of Labraid and his lackeys. Should the loan shark know of his prized slave’s survival he would stop at nothing to retrieve his property. In the time it took him to heal, earning his freedom consumed his waking thoughts. Through connections made within the Gladiator’s Guild, he was able bring Labraid into custody by providing evidence of his crimes. In the little time Theodorik had spent with the man, he had managed to get a look at some of his illicit affairs.

With Labraid behind bars and all of his assets seized, Theodorik was finally free. He vowed to repay the kindness of his friends and to right the wrongs wrought by his poor decisions. He began working to repair his damaged relationships and reputation, especially to beg forgiveness from his mother. It would be a long and arduous journey before him, though one he would walk proudly and freely.

Theodorik is a fighter, through and through. He has learned to adapt to combat situations as they evolve and to use the tools of war available to him. While the shield and sword are his preferred tools, he is also proficient with the axe, the spear and empty hand techniques. It was through his training and merging of various styles that earned him the name of Surefoot. Using wide and strong stances, Theodorik roots himself to the ground for balance and stability. However, enemies that think him slow and immobile are sorely, and in many cases fatally, mistaken. By utilizing clever, shifting footwork he still retains a large degree of mobility and agility. This combination allows him to glide across his chosen field of battle quickly while making it very difficult to knock him over. When on the offensive he uses his strong stepping for power while utilizing his core to whip around strikes with his waist. This results in quick and powerful arcing blows with a great deal of controlled momentum behind them. With his confidence in skill and talent, he must constantly remind himself to remain humble. It is a task at which he is not always successful, which can lead to his actions and words being occasionally tinged with a hint of youthful bravado in hopes of earning some admiration from his peers or his betters. On more than one occasion it has led to him being reminded of the value in humility from the flat of his back.

Theodorik was only 3 years of age when his father, a pikeman in the Ala Mhigan armies, died in the defense of Ala Mhigo. Kasimira Everforge, his mother, fled the city with Theodorik, her only child, in tow. They wandered Eorzea before finally settling in Limsa Lominsa where they were able to continue some semblance of a fulfilling life.

Theodorik is not currently involved in any epic RP and is still looking for his place in Eorzea. Feel free to chat him up if you see him. I'm sure he'd be more than willing to trade a few stories! As far as my own personal preferences go, I tend to enjoy organic, slice of life type of RP though I am definitely willing to talk about more scripted and structured story arcs. Thanks for reading!
