Character
♦ General
A man whose skill has been noted to be blessed by the twelve, Meta has fought in numerous battles over the years for the people of Eorzea. While he has no actual position with any of the Grand Companies, he has none the less taken part in a number of operations formed and executed by them, of which he has always been found in the vanguard. Currently a mercenary in the lands of Eorzea, Meta has continued to find jobs that either pay well, or perhaps provide a challenge for his might.
♦ History
The Battle of Carteneu:
While not hailing from Eorzea, Meta was one of many who rose up to fight against the escalating aggression brought by the Garleans five years ago. While he had no affiliation with the Grand Companies, he was still recruited for the battle of Carteneu. He requested to be placed in the vanguard unit, and as such, was part of the first wave of men and woman to surge against the wave of Garlean troops. Part of the left most infantry unit, his unit's task was to push in against apposing forces and perform a hammer and anvil maneuver with the main infantry unit in the center. Their unit was greatly impeded by an unexpected heavy use of Magitek armor in the initial Garlean force. Meta met his enemies head on, holding against the opposing forces. Acting as a rear guard, Meta aided in helping the majority of the unit to retreat and reform. This in turn allowed the left vanguard to hold the line until the main forces could arrive. From there Meta continued to fight with intense ferocity until a full retreat was issued throughout the Grand Company ranks.
Historical Note: While accounts from soldiers are often exaggerated or romanticized in war, it is well enough to note that a number of the soldiers who fought with Meta were recorded stating that for every man that fell to them, ten fell to Meta's blade. While the number is probably exaggerated, it is clear that the survivors praised Meta's skill highly, to an almost exorbitant amount.
The Five Years: After the Battle of Carteneu, Meta simply vanished. It would not be until three years later that he resurfaced in the land of Eorzea, spear in hand, and wearing the armor of a Dragoon. For the next two years Meta would take on any odd job that paid well. It should be noted that he would take on some jobs without pay, often citing that the challenge itself was payment. It is during the end of these two years that he met the adventurer Lillith Cale, with whom he would form a lasting friendship with to current times.
Assault on the Praetorium: When the Garleans returned, Meta once again appeared to make a stand with the Grand Companies. Like five years ago, he requested to be placed in the Vanguard where fighting would be the most intense. Being the spearhead for the main forces, the Vanguard was to cut open a path and lay the foundation for the main forces. Meta did just that, scoring numerous kills and taking the heads of a few officers of the Garlean Forces. Once again Meta's might and skill rallied the troops he fought with, giving way to a glorious success to the vanguards objective. From there, Meta would continue to fight time and time again in the campaign against the Garleans, throwing himself into the frontlines, until the call came in that victory had been achieved by the Eorzean Alliance.
After the Assault: With the allied campaign dissolved, Meta returned back to Mercenary work, avoiding and refusing any form of recruitment into the Grand Companies of Eorzea. During this time he took on odd jobs, many of which involved fighting men and beasts alike.
♦ Appearance
♦ Behaviour
A warrior at heart, Meta has been described by some to be loyal and observant man, but with a sharp tongue and stubborn disposition. He is quick to take a business like approach to most any conversation, and can often be fickle on smaller matters in life. Meta has also been known to praise his allies abilities a bit beyond their actual worth, often holding them to standards they cannot actually perform at. His demands of other are often hard to meet, as Meta holds others capabilities to what he is capable, whether the individual truly can or not. Still, he puts faith in those he considers allies, and certainly holds them in high regards. For these individuals, they will not find a stronger bond of loyalty outside his friendship.
Combat
There is little description on Meta's combat skill before appearing his time as a Dragoon. His style of combat mixes the power and length of the spear, with the mobility and force of a Dragoon. It has been best described as a form that forever places pressure and force upon his targets, striking and wounding before moving out of range to start all over again.

Blood on the Sands (part 2): Hearing of an assault against Ul'dah by Void sent, Meta quickly placed himself in the frontlines with newly acquainted ally, Rauffe Bell. During the initial wave of zombies, Meta was quick to dispatch body after body, aiding in holding the defensive formation. During the battle, the right rear line had been breached and pushed back. Faith in his ally, Meta broke from frontlines and rushed through zombie hordes to save the right rear line from collapsing by a rather powerful and crazed Void sent force. Upon arriving he saved a mage by the name of Xao Ganajai, and helped push back the zombie force, clearing a path for Xao to advance upon the leader who was summoning the Void sent. Sweeping up the remaining zombies, Meta rejoined the frontlines until the Leader of the zombies was pushed back, and victory was achieved. For Meta's heroics, and the number of zombies slain at his spear, he was awarded the title Zombie Slayer and gil.
