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 man who taught him how to be a man, and called himself Belian Lightfoot. he vowed on that day that anyone who sailed the sea would come to know the name Lightfoot.
Their ship the Maximum wreaked havoc, raiding shipping lanes, scrapping with the Limsa Lominsa Navy. They lived how they wanted and took what they wanted. As all young men do Belian fell in love eventually. Her name was Lillyana and she was a beautiful blonde Miqo'te. She worked for another crew and they met when both their ships were in port. Young love was not to last however as someone who didn't think too highly of the young pirate frramed him for murder. They beat and tortured Belian for days trying to get him to confess, even going so far as to murder Lilly in front of his eyes. Belian never confessed but he carries the scars both mentally and physically to this day. He was exiled for his crimes, never to set foot in his beloved Limsa Lominsa ever again.
Present:
Belian now lives in the desert city of Ul"dah. He makes his living doing odd jobs legal and illegal so he can afford enough whiskey to drown his sorrows in. He is a shell of a man drifting from employment to employment. His woes do not ease however. He met a beautiful redhead named Nad'rael. It was almost love at first sight. When he was with her all his sadness melted away. She made him feel like he was the greatest man on Eorzea. However she was a taken woman, married and beyond his reach. Another torment for the poor pirate to never have the woman he loves dearly. he tries to make his way in the world. Trying to hold together his sanity. The once cocky smile has left his lips, never knowing if he can get it back.
