Basic Info
Hikari Nakajima (中島 ひかり Nakajima Hikari) is a black mage who travels the world in search of adventure.
Biography
General
Relatively little is known about Hikari's early life, aside from being born in Old Sharlayan. He can usually be found wandering around Aldenard or in adventurer-made taverns. According to his musings, he has not seen his mentor since he began adventuring.
Acquiring Black Magic
Hikari's specialization in magic is mostly self-taught. Due to the myriad of different books and treasures he had found in the Dravanian Hinterlands, he was able to learn a large amount of Black Magic, as well as find a long lost job-crystal. Since the use of this magic is forbidden in most parts of Eorzea, its use is limited primarily in the extermination of primals, though if threatened, Hikari can also use it for self defence.
Regarding The Sharlayan Forum
Hikari understands the Forum's reasoning for taking an isolationist stance towards the Garlean invasion, but questions their reasons for not sharing their knowledge with other nations. In recent times, he has argued that if Old Sharlayan were to have a more open stance, this would further allow for other nations to prosper, and thus suppress the empire.
Wandering Minstrel Incident
Upon hearing reports of several adventurers ending up in a fight against King Thordan I, Hikari decided to look into how they ended up fighting someone whom was already dead. During a recent visit to Kugane, Hikari was unexpectedly spirited away to an unknown battlefield, alongside several other adventurers. In the field awaited not one, but three primals. Realizing the situation was essentially hopeless, Hikari and the other adventurers ended up fleeing the site. They ended up discovering that a Minstrel's Ballad could cause someone to relive a fight against a primal. This tale, however, seemed to have had so many fabrications, it beared little resemblance to what actually happened. Since then, Hikari has looked into speaking with minstrels as to how to stop these incidents. Given current research, a solution has not been found yet. In the meantime, Hikari has suggested not to add too much embellishment, since that increases the chance of unlucky adventurers potentially dying as a result of the incidents.
Appearance
Hikari is a short, slim lalafell with black hair and brown eyes. His outfit is a custom-made set from the Idyllshire. Can occasionally be seen riding a miniature Air Force.
Personality
An introverted, taciturn magician, Hikari tends to spend time just observing others. Has a penchant for seeking knowledge, especially of the kind that can improve his magic. Though he does not socialize much, he is friendly towards those that approach him.
