History . Disclaimer: . Sixth Astral Era Childhood Kazukata was born in a small village of Raen in the mountains surrounding Doma Seventh Umbral Era The Doman Revolt After Doma was conquered, Kazukata did not join the Garlean army to try and gain citizenship. The idea of turning around and trying to curry favor with Doma's conquerors left a poor taste in Kazukata's mouth. He also neglected to return to his mountain home, instead settling down as a farmer in the fertile countryside, where he attempted to live as normal a life as possible under Garlean rule. There, he met Asa Nikki, whom he would eventually fall in love with and marry. Though the two never had children, Asa soon became one of the few things that made Kazukata's life bearable under Garlean law. For almost 20 years, Kazukata lived a quiet life with Asa, his spear rusting and forgotten. But when the Emperor passed on and the Doman revolt began in earnest, the allure of a free Doma was too much for Kazukata to resist. He recalled the fire of his youth, the passion with which he had fought to keep his country safe, and felt his blood boil with vigor he had forgotten. He could not remain still, not when his country needed him, and he left to enlist with the revolutionary forces, heedless to the protests of his wife. He promised he would return to her a hero, but the two parted on poor terms. Kazukata once more ended up on the frontlines, spear in hand, and was assigned to Lady Yugiri's main army. He received minor distinctions for valor in the field and, in the war's waning months, was promoted to Corporal. As the war turned against the Domans, Kazukata was assigned to the retreating Doman army's rearguard, where he frequently was forced to contend with the Garleans nipping at the army's heels. In the final days of the war, outside the gates of the capital itself, Kazukata received a grievous wound, a deep sword thrust between his ribs that miraculously missed his major organs, and was carried from the field. He didn't awake until two days later, and found himself on one of the Doman refugee ships, his homeland naught but ash behind him. Just like that, the war had ended while he had been unconscious. He would never again see his home, or his wife, who, if rumors were anything to go off of, had most likely been executed just for being married to him. Everything he had ever known or lived for had come crashing down while he had been asleep. The loss crippled Kazukata, and he wouldn't recover until long after he came to Eorzea. In Recent Times Life in Eorzea As other Doman refugees flocked to Mor Dhona, Kazukata instead became a vagrant, wandering Eorzea doing whatever odd jobs he could. Still feeling the loss of Doma and recovering from his own injuries, he seemed a dead man walking and barely managed to make ends meet. He spent a year drifting from inn to inn, dead-end job to dead-end job, drink to drink, without any attempt to better his life, bitterly remembering his homeland and the life he had lost. His wound recovered more slowly than it should have, antagonized by the hard labor he often had to resort to to get by, but his mind took even longer to mend. But as he spent his days dwelling on the past, Kazukata would occasionally hear stories about Eorzea's many adventurers. Though he shirked the company of others, he would still idly listen to the bards' ballads retelling whatever heroics the Warrior of Light had done that week or hear an occasional story about Eorzea's other, lesser-known heroes. At first, he listened out of boredom, but slowly, they grew on him. He grew interested in the tales of Eorzea, where, if you listened to the bards, there were Primals every five yalms and Garlean assaults every five months, but the people still kept on, always remaining stalwart against any encroaching danger, no matter how horrific or overbearing. To Kazukata, it had seemed ridiculous that Eorzea should still be standing at all and that the people were surviving through sheer willpower. Their continued survival was nothing short of baffling, but also struck a chord that began to rouse Kazukata from his stupor and gave him something he had been missing since he had left Doma: hope. Eventually, Kazukata's interest in these stories became an interest in the people of Eorzea, what made them tick, and how they could survive against such preposterous odds when his Doma had crumbled like dust. And the more he learned, the more Kazukata was inspired by the denizens of Eorzea and came to care about their struggles. Inspired by the tales of Eorzea's adventurers, Kazukata eventually resolved to join their ranks, and once more took up his spear, hoping to become an inspiration for others as other adventurers have become an inspiration for him.

Rumors NPC Rumors Some of these rumors are untrue, speculation, or are greatly exaggerated. ◢ Common Rumors - Easily overheard. Use these freely! ■ "Yeah, he used to come in here a lot, get lost in his cups. Now that you mention it, though, I haven't seen him in a few months. Wonder if he died somewhere?" — Bar Patron. ■ "He did a trial leve a few weeks ago. Did it bloody fast, too. Don't know where he learned to use that spear, though. Certainly wasn't taught by the Wood Wailers, that's for sure." —Levemete. ■ "He's damn old to be a rank-and-file adventurer. You'd expect someone with a face like that to be running a guild, not running errands." —Fellow Adventurer. ◢ Uncommon Rumors - A little more difficult to hear. Use sparingly or ask first! ■ "He's alive? He barely ate, much less spoke when we were sailing from Doma, and then once we came ashore, he just vanished. I had assumed the worst." — Doman Refugee. ■ "When I worked with him, he mentioned something about being a soldier once, back in Doma. If half the rumors about what happened over there are true, then that would explain why the guy barely bats an eye at a charging Goobbue." — Fellow Adventurer. ◢ Rare Rumors - Very rarely overheard. Please ask before using! ■ "He muttered some lady's name into a drink once when he was half asleep. Guess his missus dumped him?" — Bar Patron. PC Rumors Feel free to add your own rumors to this section. ◢ Player Character Rumors - Some of these are more rare than others! ■ "Rumor" — Rumormonger. ■ "Rumor" — Rumormonger.
