Character
♦ General
Belian Lightfoot (born Belian Velmont), This half Highlander Huyr is a sword for hire and considers himself a free Paladin of Rhalgr, bringing his divine destruction to his enemies. Born in Ala Migho before Imperial rule and raised on the streets of Limsa Lominsa, He is a talented swordsman and quick thinker. Now Belian lives his life to retake his homeland of Ala Mihgo and drive the Empire out once and for all. Due to a series of unfortunate events in his life Belian has gained a very cynical outlook and demeanor.
♦ Appearance
Belian is kind of scrawny and thin for his age. Even though he is well tone and muscular from sailing most of his life he always seems to have a small appearance. he has shaggy blonde hair that he keeps loose and medium length. He has vibrant green eyes that seem to shine in any light.
he wears simple clothes. Growing up at sea he wears loose fitting tunics and breeches with either knee high or thigh high boots. Though more often as of late he has been seen in more formal type attire.
♦ Behaviour
Calm, calculating, sinister. This is the outward demeanor people usually meet when they meet Belian. He is polite but some would say cold, making sure to stay distant, never getting too close to anyone. He usually eats and drinks alone, enjoying the company of solitude.
If anyone were to crack that facade they would find underneath a pained man, a heart in torture over a lost love.
Combat
Years at sea has made Belian a dangerous close quarters fighter. he is very skilled at knife fighting and hand to hand combat. He can more than hold his own in a melee.
He is proficient in many weapons including the Sword, knife, boarding axe and lance. He can usually be seen with a sword on his hip and a shield on his back.
Even though he can hold his own in a fight Belian will always try to use his silver tongue to get him out of sticky situations instead of fighting. Rather persuasive when he wants to be, Belian is good at reading people and finding out what he can do for them to accomplish his own ends.
Biography
Past
Belian was born the son of a Fisherman and a Tavern wench, Rodrick and Elise Velmont. Belian's father spent most of his time at sea and his mother spent her time whoring in a tavern. Needless to say there was no one to take care of little Belian. He received no education, no parental teaching or upbringing what so ever. he spent his time on the streets. He learned to steal, con and survive. It was a harsh lonely life and Belian resented his parents for not being with him. Even at an early age he was captivated by the sea. He would often go down to the docks and sneak aboard ships. One day while he was exploring the holds, The ship weighed anchor and departed. Stranded out at sea on a strange ship Belian had a choice, starve to death or let the crew know he was there. Luckily for the skrawny blonde kid this was a honest privateer and they were not interested in killing a kid. They put him to work as a cabin boy. Polishing boots and peeling potatoes. It was about as low as he could get but maybe if he proved himself they would let him stay.
Many moons pass and Belian became quite the adept little cook. Cooking meals for his crewmates was fun for him and the best part was he was generally liked by his shipmates. One day every privateers worst nightmare came true. They were attacked by pirates. having only light guns the ship was totally outmatched in every way possible. The pirates only suffered light casualties taking the vessel and the cargo they found would keep them in rum and wenches for weeks. Belian was dragged kicking ans screaming from the galley and a pistol was put to his head. He would have died then and there had it not been for the Quartermaster of the Pirate ship, Gravon Lightfoot, a large scruffy looking Highlander man. he admired the fight in the scrawny boy even though it was futile it didn't stop Belian from clawing, biting and gouging trying to break free. Gravon brought down the handle of his pistol against the poor boys head. They took him as tribute and to replace what losses they had while taking Belians ship. Gravon took the boy under his wing and taught him everything he knew about being a Pirate. This was the father Belian never had. Someone who took interest in him, made sure he was fed and warm, and someone who wanted him to succeed. Slowly the scrawny boy grew into a scrawny man. A pirate feared and respected and Belian loved it. He was home at sea with his brothers. With them he was invincible. When Gravon was killed by a lucky bullet while taking a prize Belian shed his given surname of Velmont and adapted his fathers, his true father... the one who taught him how to be a man, Taught him how to sail, track, sneak, to cover his Lominsian accent, gave him the formal education his parents never did. He forged Belian into everything he wanted to be,and the blonde young man owed this old pirate more then he could ever say. So to honor him from that day on he called himself Belian Lightfoot. It was a simple yet profound gesture... and he vowed on that day that anyone who sailed the sea would come to fear the name Lightfoot.

The payment for this journey was that his mother was to be sold into slavery, she would serve at the whim of the ships Captain who sailed them to saftey. A part time Pimp and part time ship Captain he quickly set about making Belian's mother his new whore.. That is the real reason his father was out at sea and never came home... he couldn't bear to see his wife used by other men. Upon learning the truth Belian cursed Eorzea and all the ills that it had given his family and his heart, this was the final betrayal, no longer would he consider himself an Eorzean. he abandoned everything that he was up to this point and vowed to restore not only the city of his birth, wrestling it from the control of the Empire but to also restore his families honor.
