<div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#000000;font-family:Georgia;">Corelyn was born the single daughter to a relatively wealthy couple: Aeolus nan Bellor and Marcia kir Bellor. Both were fairly well-known in engineering circles throughout Garlemald for the quality of their trade, the family's business having been innovative magitek weaponry, especially in mass-producible technology such as firearms and other such gun-based weapons with Aeolus developing his skills in the Magitek Academy and Marcia in IVth Legion. From an early age, Corelyn displayed an incredible aptitude for magitek, including the advanced practices and designs belonging to her family as she grew older and more experienced with it. | <div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#000000;font-family:Georgia;">Corelyn was born the single daughter to a relatively wealthy couple: Aeolus nan Bellor and Marcia kir Bellor.

| − | Through her early life, she was raised, schooled, and instructed as was any pure-blooded child of the Empire. She was put through a particularly rigorous education, though with her parents' ardent support and her own boundless capability for absorbing knowledge, she excelled far more than she could be challenged, eventually enrolling and becoming accepted by the Magitek Academy. Though she was not the head of her class, she came very close many times, often coming within a hair's breadth of a man favoured far more for his ties than his innovative ability. Of all her earlier lessons, however, most emphasised were the nationalist - nigh jingoist - ideals of Garlemald: The folly of the lesser nations, how best to play out her role and purpose within the Empire to her best efficiency, and of the Empire's supremacy and ultimate mission to subjugate and save the savage, uncultured lands that lie beyond Garlemald's borders - especially Eorzea, riddled with its false gods and irascible beast-man tribes. She engaged in extra-curricular activities, as well, among them ballet and dance, singing lessons, fencing, and theatre. She had very little free time, though it was how she, and her parents, preferred it: there was always something to engage the young girl's curiosities and talents. | + | Through her early life, she was raised, schooled, and instructed as was any pure-blooded child of the Empire. She was put through a particularly rigorous education, though with her parents' ardent support and her own boundless capability for absorbing knowledge, she excelled far more than she could be challenged, eventually enrolling and becoming accepted by the Magitek Academy at the age of fourteen. Though she was not the head of her class, she came very close many times, often coming within a hair's breadth of a man favoured far more for his ties and wealth than his innovative ability (or so she would say). Of all her earlier lessons, however, most emphasised were the nationalist - nigh jingoist - ideals of Garlemald: The folly of the lesser nations, how best to play out her role and purpose within the Empire to her best efficiency, and of the Empire's supremacy and ultimate mission to subjugate and save the savage, uncultured lands that lie beyond Garlemald's borders - especially Eorzea, riddled with its false gods and irascible beast-man tribes.

She understood it as a chance not only to see Allagan ruins and have a chance to better her abilities and expand her knowledge, but to liberate Eorzea from the beastmen and to serve Garlemald's - and Hydaelyn's, as she was taught - best interest. While she had a fundamental grasp already of combat - especially with traditional gunblades and rapiers - thanks to her hobbies growing up, she was taught much more advanced techniques, and was educated on the strategic use of each style of swordplay in which she was versed, and how to adapt to military tactics and situations. |

| − | Though trained extensively in combat, she ultimately worked as a military magitek engineer far from the front lines. This is not to say, however, that she saw no combat. More than once, she was stationed at an outpost where she would have to assist in defence against incursions from meddling adventurers of Eorzeans looking to keep themselves from the Empire's rule. Her will to continue on her path, however, started to weaken as she saw the resistance the Eorzeans would put up in the name of freedom. She began to realize they neither wanted nor needed what Garlemald was bringing to their doorstep, and fought more Eorzeans than beastmen. This caused her resolve to weaken further over time, though she kept faithful to her duties. | + | Though trained extensively in combat, she ultimately worked as a military magitek engineer far from the front lines for two years. This is not to say, however, that she saw no combat. More than once, she was stationed at an outpost where she would have to assist in defence against incursions from meddling adventurers of Eorzeans looking to keep themselves from the Empire's rule. Her will to continue on her path, however, started to weaken as she saw the resistance the Eorzeans would put up in the name of freedom. She began to realize they neither wanted nor needed what Garlemald was bringing to their doorstep, and fought more Eorzeans than beastmen. This caused her resolve to weaken further over time, though she kept faithful to her duties. Such weak resolve, however, was noted by her superiors, and so she failed to advance to a station where her intellect would have served a more fulfilling role. |

| − | + | After two years, she was present - and fought in - the Battle of Carteneau Flats. Though she worked a good deal with keeping magitek reapers and other such weapons functional and operating to batter and bruise the Eorzean Alliance's line, she was also forced into her fair share of combat situations both to defend herself and on the offensive from time to time. At this point, her resolve to continue in the war had reached its lowest point, and she even harboured thoughts of desertion, so great was her doubt. However, she had very little time to really think on it in the midst of the battle, especially when Dalamud burst open above the battlefield. She was nearly obliterated when one of the spires from Dalamud fell and destroyed the fortifications behind which she and her Cohort were operating at the time Bahamut was released. The resulting ceruleum explosions from destroyed magitek and reserves left her stunned, gravely wounded, and half-conscious as the Elder Primal ravaged the landscape, but also kept her hidden from the greatest of the devastation behind the selfsame spire. | |

They incapacitated her easily, and, stabilizing her wounds, took her prisoner with some number of her fellows from the VIIth. The wagon on which she was being transported was eventually attacked by amalj'aa as it passed through Thanalan, and many of its occupants were outright slain. Corelyn, at this point healed enough to have her wits about her, managed to escape in the chaos, making her way toward the sea, though in truth, her wandering was aimless, simply looking for safe haven. By the time she reached the shore, she was nearly-starved, dehydrated, and her still-existing wounds had taken a heavy toll on her. She was recovered by a privateering band, among whom was the quartermaster of the crew and her soon-fast friend, [[Aiouxdaux Beaumont]], and was taken prisoner, once again, this time aboard a vessel named the "White Coeurl." It took some time, but she eventually proved to them that she meant no harm, and now only wished to learn better of Eorzea what she had never been told, or what she had been falsely taught. |

| + | She spent a good deal of time among the crew of the "White Coeurl," especially with her new friend, Aiouxdaux, acting as their "inside" source of knowledge on Garlemald, its technology, and combat practices. It served to keep them safe on more than one occasion when engaging Garlean vessels, and in repurposing stolen Garlean tech and weaponry for their own needs. They worked and sailed as privateers for a few years, taking down Empire and pirate vessels alike. Corelyn found herself taken by the thrill and adventure of life at sea and fondly regards those memories as some of the best times of her life. She made great strides in her efforts to learn more of Eorzea, and Aiouxdaux helped her by creating an alchemically-treated patch that would hide her third eye and allow her to blend in when they were on land. Wearing this patch, of course, stifled her third eye and its benefit to her, leading her to realise her eyesight was somewhat flawed without it. Thus, she sought out corrective eyewear, and wears it not just as a means of compensating for her hidden third eye, but often even with it exposed to keep her senses as sharp as possible. | ||

| − | + | However, after a number of years sailing with them, disaster struck and left the ship decimated, its crew and captain almost all dead, and Corelyn stranded, separated from any survivors, as, at the time, she had been experimenting with a prototype long-range boarding mechanism and had used it to escape before the fateful crash, the glider-like contraption launching her up into the air to witness the horrific events as she coasted off and away from the sounds of screams and the cracking of the ship's hull. After the fateful crash, she was rescued by a merchant vessel as she drifted on her device as a makeshift raft and taken to Limsa Lominsa where she took up a room in the Drowned Wench, having officially registered herself as "defector" under the Thalassocracy, though she remains hidden for fear of people's - and her own - fear of her own people and the persecution she could face at the hands of either. | |

She often still found herself hiring help as, more often than not, the ruins she delved were inhabited by hateful creatures and monsters, or hostile, savage beasts that had claimed what the Nymians had left behind. However, this prove to be a lucrative avenue as her research and salvage into ancient Nym and its rich history in both magic and society were far more widely-valued by many buyers as a whole than were her technological innovations and refurbishings. | <div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#000000;font-family:Georgia;">Having needed to pursue other options for income, her similar thirst for knowledge led her to delve into the Nymian ruins surrounding her new home in Upper and Outer La Noscea.

This had a two-fold benefit for her, as, unlike the aether- and magic-based research she would do into such ancient societies in which she had no ability to match her knowledge, she found herself possessed of a deeper understanding of Allagan technology, as much of what she had known and learned growing up in Garlemald was based on Allagan research. Indeed, this was one of her unrealised aims from her time in the VIIth, making it a dream come true. Incorporating Allagan concepts into her tinkering proved far more difficult than simply researching and writing dissertations and reports on it. However, this proved a boon in whatever form she pursued it. The only downside was the inherent danger of Allagan ruins, often causing her to seek out a larger party of bodyguards to assist her, making the cost sometimes too steep to pursue with any great frequency. |
