"Cruel and cold, like winds on the sea Will you ever return to me? Hear my voice, sing with the tide My love will never die

Over waves and deep in the blue I will give up my heart for you Ten long years I'll wait to go by My love will never die

Come, my love, be one with the sea Rule with me for eternity Drown all dreams so mercilessly And leave their souls to me

Play the song you sang long ago And wherever the storm may blow You will find the key to my heart We'll never be apart

Wild and strong, you can't be contained Never bound nor ever chained Wounds you caused will never mend And you will never end

Cruel and cold, like winds on the sea Will you ever return to me? Hear my voice, sing with the tide Our love will never die"

Born Salvius Virius, Traveled to Eorzea undercover with the alias Belian Lightfoot. This imperial defector has turned his back on the Empire to become a freelance Soldier of Fortune. This trail worn traveler has seen his fair share of conflict, war, sadness and sacrifice. he has a cunning about him that very few can anticipate or resist.

All he needs is a ship and a star to sail her by.

♦ Appearance

---

"Cause every girl's crazy bout a sharp dressed man"

Belian is slightly above average in both height and girth, though keeping a relatively small frame. Looking at him there is little doubt that he could be a Garlean, Blonde hair and green eyes are almost a dead giveaway of his heritage. Not a pure Garlean, His family was integrated into the Empire years ago so he lacks the "third eye" of purebloods. To his advantage Belian has rather boyish good looks that make him appear much younger than he really is. he is always immaculately clean and well groomed, keeping his goatee trim and his blonde hair neat and tied back. He always smells clean, using various oils and perfumes, his favorite being an oil that smells like a cross between roses and citrus.

When it comes to dress Belian loves to be flamboyant and attention getting. He demands only the finest cloth touch his skin. It is not uncommon for someone to witness him spending a massive amount on custom tailored clothing.

He is typically seen wearing silks and leather of the utmost quality. he dresses as his station requires it, nevermind that he is trying to blend in to the populace of Eorzea who may find such a fancy dresser a tad strange.

♦ Behaviour

---

"I tried to face the fight within, but it's over."

Upon first meeting the blonde man you would easily get the impression of arrogance. he is well dressed and he moves with grace and polish. Hiding underneath though is a heart full of mirth and mischief. After belian gets to know somone it's not uncommon for him to laugh and joke, sometimes at others expense. He believes that life is worth living because any moment could be your last. A trait that has gotten him into trouble more than once.

Belian is a very complex man. he has seen heartache and happiness, he has felt loss and regret. Like much of conflict torn Eorzea there are many layers to this man, only a privileged few get to see whats under the surface. Belian is the kind of man that wears his emotions on his sleeve. If he feels something he will act upon it. Very impulsive and he craves affection, leading to more than one relationship problem.

Due to his training as a soldier he has a great capacity to absorb physical and emotional punishment, making him seem cold and aloof sometimes.

He speaks calmly most times and with a slight hint of a Garlean accent.

Combat

"I know who you are, the leader of lost souls"

Belian has been trained as a Spec ops soldier for the Garlean Empire. he is familiar with guns, blades, explosives and many more weapons of war including Magitek. he has had survival and infiltration training as well. His training covering such a broad spectrum is his greatest strength. He can do a bit of everything and do it well. This diverse tool kit is what makes him so dangerous on the battlefield. He can hold his own and go toe to toe with a blade one minute, to suddenly swtich tactics entirely and use a firearm or even some magic to put his opponent off balance. Or even resort to ambush and Guerrilla tactics. Fighting Belian you have to be prepared for anything and expect a plethora of guile and cunning. He fights smarter, not harder.

Stripped to it's bare-bones Belian never specialized in one area of fighting, so he is much easier to deal with if someone could nail him down and force him to stick to one and only one method of fighting. He would lose his ability to adapt and have to rely on his skill in that one area alone. He is still formidable but not as much as he could be. And of course his size, being on the kind of small side if you could isolate him and prevent him from using his quickness you would have him at a major disadvantage.

Biography

"Cruel and cold, like winds on the sea. Will you ever return to me?"'

Past

(All of this backstory is a secret and will not be treated as in character knowledge by anyone unless specifically RPed out.)

Salvius was born three and a half years ago as a clone of his brother Angellos. he was created to be a perfect copy of his brother and to replace him as his father Caecilius's son. During the cloning process Salvius was given all the mental and physical skills he would need in life. Extensive knowledge and Imperial education. When he was finally born Salvius served as his fathers lab assistant while Caecilius made sure the cloning process was a success. When his father thought he was ready he release Salvius into Eorzea to carry out his most important mission, assassinate his brother Angellos and replace him.

Salvius Quo Virius had now taken the name Belian Lightfoot, he figured that sounded Eorzean enough and took a few belongings and books along with any papers that can prove he is an Imperial citizen and set out to cross the wall and into Eorzea. Thrust into a world very much not his own and without a way back because of the open hostility between Eorzea and the Empire, Belian has no choice but to ride this out. A strange thing happened. He came to enjoy his time in Eorzea. In a land free from the Empire he saw people living out their lives as they chose, not what the Empire mandated for them. he was captivated by it, and finally made the decision to disregard his mission and live out the rest of his days in Eorzea.

Present: (This section is fairly common knowledge as it's all happened in Eorzea.)

Belian has taken up a profession and offers his Martial talents as a Soldier of Fortune most often as a sailor. Sometimes his makes barely enough money to eat, other times it has yielded a fortune in Gil and rare and exotic hides and pelts. He tries his best to stay out of the way and keep a low profile lest anyone discover that he was an Imperial, hed prefer if people didn't know.

He has worn many masks since his time in Eorzea. To some hes a drunkard, to others a pirate. No one has yet pieced together his real identity or agenda. He goes about his life, doing the things that make him happy. He knows that one day he may have to face the Empire on the battlefield. If/when that day comes he will stand as an Eorzean.
