About

Flynn is an adventurer who's family originated from Othard and fled to Ala Mhigo before Garlemald's invasion. He spends most of his time with his wife, Mackenzie Hawk, or working for the Adventurers' Guilds across Eorzea. He isn't good with small talk and he is usually not the first to engage a conversation. In his younger days he was always seen with his two best friends, Lorric Wright and M'risha Eliozh. Flynn is a healthy individual and likes to drink ale on special occasions. He is also laid-back and sometimes blunt when he is trying to be kind. Overall, Flynn loves to be around different scenery every day and is willing to take any job as long as it is nothing dishonourable.

As well as being trained in survival by his stepfather and as a Free Paladin by a Sultansworn captain, Flynn is also proficient in other weapons as expected from a fighter. When travelling, he is equipped with a longsword and dagger for close-combat, and a bow for hunting. While he is generally a quiet character, he makes up for it with his strength and fighting skills.

History

The Family (Before 1.xx events)

Year 1551 of the Sixth Astral Era

It began with Flynn's parents on a small border nation on the eastern continent of Othard, otherwise known as Doma. Hamuro; a samurai warrior. Oda; a nurse and loving wife to Hamuro. With the war with Garlemald slowly reaching their boarders, the couple fled the nation by boat to escape death. Their travels eventually lead them to a final stop on the shores of Gyr Abania, specifically Ala Mhigo. To fit in with their society, Hamuro and Oda forfeited their names and professions. Hamuro changed his name to Theodgar Rosenberg, and Oda to Maren Rosenberg. For a time they lived in both peace and unrest, and could not afford to travel more. Theodgar would take up the lance and replace his katana, whilst Maren would continue serving to heal the wounded. Whether or not this was the right decision for them, they were trapped in this war-torn nation.

Year 1556 of the Sixth Astral Era

A few years passed and the Empire eventually conquered Doma. Flynn was also born and Maren gave up her profession to raise him. Theodgar would often visit in what time he could spare.

Year 1557 of the Sixth Astral Era

The Garlean Empire had taken over Ala Mhigo, taking advantage of the nation's internal conflicts. Theodgar stayed behind to continue fighting the Empire with the resistance as Maren was forced to flee in hopes of raising Flynn out of danger. She and many other refugees arrived finally arrived at Ul'dah after their long journey.

Growing up in Ul'dah was not easy for Flynn as there was little money for them to earn. By the time he turned eight years old, his mother fell ill to a sickness spread within the streets. Over time it consumed her, causing her death.

Flynn was alone until he met two other children, Lorric Wright and M'risha Eliozh, who caught Flynn stealing food from the markets. The three became inseparable and created their own adventures. Flynn was later adopted by a retired lalafell Gladiator named Pepepoki and trained him to defend himself using melee weapons and archery.

Year 1572 of the Sixth Astral Era

With the Dalamud moon hovering in plain sight, Pepepoki and Flynn help defend Ul'dah against monsters and Garleans alike. When Pepepoki is wounded in battle, Flynn takes care of him at their home and withdraws from the final battle at Carteneau.

Year 2 of the Seventh Umbral Era

At the age of 18, two years after the Calamity, Flynn sought to work as a mercenary and first joined up with the Brass Blades. He left as soon as he saw their corruption, then spent the next few years working for the Adventurers' Guild.

A Realm Reborn (Patch 2.xx series)

Year 5 of the Seventh Umbral Era

Five years after the calamity, Flynn receives a dream of falling meteors raining from the sky. Pepepoki confirmed to Flynn that he had been gifted with the Echo and should put it to good use. He encouraged Flynn to meet up with Lorric and M'risha to go on their own real adventure.

After a few months M'risha disappeared and Lorric went out to search for her. Flynn was alone again until he joined the Travellers Guild where he met Mackenzie Hawk who later became a couple. He also discovered his real father, Theodgar, was still alive and had been locked up in Ul'dah's dungeon for many years. His father was accused of conspiring with the Empire, having been caught in possession of an Imperial uniform. He reassured Flynn that he wasn't a spy and was part of the Ala Mhigan Resistance. Flynn was unable to have him released, and instead he visited his father once every few months.

During one of his visits, Flynn unwillingly caught a glimpse of his father's past through the Echo's power. Fearing what he saw, Flynn was eager to learn how to better protect Mackenzie from harm. He began training as a Free Paladin under the guide of a Sultansworn Captain, Vandill Warblade.

After the Travellers Guild disbanded, Flynn and Mack joined other Free Companies until they could find a home and family to settle in with. They eventually joined Crystalline, a company that places an emphasis on doing good work for others. Flynn and Mack became Eternally Bonded and remained adventurers. Pepepoki sadly passed away due to natural causes around this time, but had left Flynn his fortune he earned from his Gladiator days.

Heavensward (Patch 3.xx series)

Having saved up enough gil, Flynn and Mack buy a house in The Mist and move out of their Free Company's chambers. Flynn also had enough to build a smaller house next to their main one and transformed it into a tavern, The Nagging Wife.

With the attack on Baelsar's Wall catching Eorzea's attention, a small resistance cell quietly managed to break Theodgar out of Ul'dah's prison. Flynn was arrested by the Brass Blades on suspicion of helping Theodgar's escape, but with no solid evidence to confirm this, he was allowed to walk free.

When he returned home, he found a note from his father telling him that he'd left to fight with the Resistance in Ala Mhigo, and to find him if he wished to learn the skills of a Samurai.
