♦ Behaviour

---

Upon first meeting the blond man you would easily get the impression of arrogance. he is well dressed and he moves with grace and polish. Hiding underneath though is a heart full of mirth and mischief. After belian gets to know somone it's not uncommon for him to laugh and joke, sometimes at others expense. He believes that life is worth living because any moment could be your last. A trait that has gotten him into trouble more than once.

Belian is a very complex man. he has seen heartache and happiness, he has felt loss and regret. Like much of conflict torn Eorzea there are many layers to this man, only a privileged few get to see whats under the surface. Belian is the kind of man that wears his emotions on his sleeve. If he feels something he will act upon it. Very impulsive and he craves affection, leading to more than one relationship problem.

Due to his time in the Imperial Military he has a great capacity to absorb physical and emotional punishment, making him seem cold and aloof sometimes, especially when talking business.

He speaks calmly most times and with a very light garlean accent.

Combat

Belian has been trained by the Empire in unconventional warfare. he is familiar with guns, blades, explosives and many more weapons of war including Magitek. he has had survival and infiltration training as well. His training covering such a broad spectrum is his greatest strength. Has a fight smarter, not harder philosphy and will resort to dirty tricks or ambushes over fighting head on. Belian is also a sharpshooter and will almost always engage his targets from great range with a gun.

In close quarters and without a gun Belian never specialized in one area of fighting, so he is much easier to deal with if someone could nail him down and force him to stick to one and only one method of fighting. He would lose his ability to adapt and have to rely on his skill in that one area alone. He is still formidable but not as much as he could be. And of course his size, being on the kind of small side if you could isolate him and prevent him from using his quickness you would have him at a major disadvantage.

Biography

Past

(All of this backstory is a secret and will not be treated as in character knowledge by anyone unless specifically RPed out.)

Belian was born Salvius Virius in Ala Mhigo before Imperial Occupation, the bastard son of Caecilius Rem Virius and Elise Velmont. His father was an Imperial officer and his mother worked as a waitress at a local tavern. Belian's mother tried her best to raise her baby boy but it was difficult raising twin boys without the help of their father. As soon as Belian was old enough he was conscripted into the IMperial Military. Belian was trained as a Combat Engineer. He was taught all about explosices, demolition, Magitek and of course how to be a soldier. Love strikes everyone even young Belian. For him it was a red haired Alchemist named Nad'rael Reed. they met while Belian was stationed on one of the Imperial Airships. Slowly they bacame friends and slowly it became much more than that. However there was one catch, Nad'real was engaged to be married.

Learning this crushed young Belian. He held out hope that Nad'rael who was very much in love with him too would run away with him and not marry the other man. She held to her vows though, not even so much as kissing Belian. She asked him to attend her wedding and he couldn't refuse her, even though he knew it meant his heart would shatter into a thousand pieces. Watching her stand there on the altar with another man... something broke in him that day. he became colder and distant and also was no longer squimish about taking more dangerous and violent jobs.

A few more years pass and now Belian was 26 and still in the military, rising to the rank of Lux within the Empire. There was a certain joy to his life and he started to believe everyting about the Empire wanting a better world for everyone. It gave him a thrill taking what he wanted and and being powerful with his Unit by his side. There was nothing that could touch him and he did as he pleased, not caring who he hurt in the process, a broken heart makes a man cold...

Out of the blue, just when he thought all his past was behind him he gets a letter from Nad'rael explaining that she wished to meet him, catch up on things. At first he considered tearing up the letter and forgetting about it, but the old tug at his heart still could not refuse her. He found his way to her home and braced himself for what he might see, her husband... maybe even children. What he saw was an empty house save for the woman he still cared so deeply for. Over a cup of tea he learned that her marriage was short lived, that her husband died only a few months into their union, a hunt gone wrong. belian's heart lept this was his chance, but fate was not kind to him again. nad'rael was sick, a sickness her research and knowledge could not cure. She called him there to apologize, she knew she had treated him badly but begged him to understand that she had to do right by her husband then fiance. Belian finally forgave her and all the anger and jealousy in his heart melted away. She had a final request for him. She wanted him to be the guardian of her Tome, the book that contained all her Alchemical and Archansic knowledge. he agreed of course because he could never refuse her anything, and before leaving each other one final time Belian got the kiss he ached for all these years.

Soon after that Ala Mhigo was liberated by the Eorzean Alliance. With his home now free Belian didn't see a reason to serve the Empire anymore. He abandoned his post and was now a deserter, a criminal and was to be huunted by the Empire. he fled into Eorzea to start a new life and to lay low for a while...

Present:

Belian know uses his Imperial training and knowledge of Magitek to fight the Empire he once served. Being a combat engineer for the Free Company known as the Underdark. His knowledge of machines, explosives and gunsmithing invaluable to the Eorzean Alliance.
