: <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font size="2">Near twenty years ago, the J tribe of Gyr Abania was home to a female Seeker of the Sun, J'Maja Naja. The female Miqo'te bore two children for the Nunh, only a few summers between their births. The first was a daughter, J’huju Kanta. The second, J'Ihand Tia, who his mother fondly called J'Mama, for the way he clung to her side. The two children took to the tribe well, despite the turmoil that had consumed the land they were born into. J'Huju, though, saw herself as a part of more than just the J tribe. She saw herself and beholden to Ala Mhigo-- as a warrior, who would fight for their land as her mother once had. And so, nearing her sixteenth summer, she departed to join the resistance. It was then, in J'Ihand's fourteenth summer, that he saw his sister abandon his family and tribe for a war that wasn't theirs, and that same summer when he learned of her death for a nation that refused to just die, determined to drag so many innocents with it into it's decline. It was then, when the imperials came to seek retribution for his sisters actions -- the foolish woman having been caught and killed attempting to sneak explosives into an Imperial barracks -- that J'Ihand swore loyalty to Garlemald, in exchange for their forgiveness. It was then that he was conscripted to serve the Empire. | : <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font size="2">Near twenty years ago, the J tribe of Gyr Abania was home to a female Seeker of the Sun, J'Maja Naja.

− | No more than sixteen summers, J'Ihand had been conscripted by the Garleans, and put to work enforcing the rule of Imperial Ala Mhigo. He saw first hand the violence and chaos spread by Ala Mhigans who refused to accept the Empire's rule, and the strife they caused forever tainted the young Seeker's view of the resistance. They were exactly what the true Garleans said they were: savages. | + | : <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font size="2">No more than sixteen summers, J'Ihand had been conscripted by the Garleans, and put to work enforcing the rule of Imperial Ala Mhigo.

− | Years of service were completed uneventfully. The Seeker was a proficient archer, trained in both the bow and musket. He performed tasks assigned to him dutifully, and served the Empire with the loyalty he'd sworn from the beginning. In recognition of this service, a particular task was found for J'Ihand. He would be assigned to a crew of pirates in the employ of the empire, one of several operatives among the crew. Joining the crew of The Hoarse Maiden, under the employ of an Elezen captain by the name of Elandril, J'Ihand was sent out to sea, and eventually to the ports of La Noscea to undermine Eorzean fleets in the area, and further the Empire's pursuits. | + | : <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font size="2">Years of service were completed uneventfully.

− | J'Ihand took to piracy well. The resentment he held towards Ala Mhigans was pushed from his mind, and he could refocus on what almost seemed a normal life; sure, every day was actually in service of the Empire, but weeks out at see allowed the Miqo'te distance from his service; distance enough that he could fool himself into believing that his life was without strife, without pain. It wasn't long before the Seeker from Gir Abania walked, talked, and fought like a La Noscean Pirate, through and through, so committed to the farce was he. | + | : <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font size="2">J'Ihand took to piracy well.

− | Of course, beneath the fascade, J'Ihand knew what he was. He was a Garlean operative, and that fact forever tied him to his past. After several years aboard the Hoarse Maiden, J'Ihand began to crave the certainty of life back in Gyr Abania. He was less free there, of course -- his life regimented, and surrounded by the hostilities that gripped the region -- but he had structure. A clear purpose in every action, every day. On the ship, nothing really mattered, so long as in the end, their jobs were complete. So it was that J'Ihand drafted a letter to request transfer to a unit of Gyr Abanian's, who would oppose resistance fighters in the area. | + | : <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font size="2">Of course, beneath the fascade, J'Ihand knew what he was.

The Hoarse Maiden sank, though most of the crew survived; Only the captain and a few hands who had refused to abandon ship lost their life to the waters that day. | + | : <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font size="2">Before his letter could be sent, however, the Calamity struck.

− | Immediately, the operatives planted by the Garleans took control of the remaining control. Organizing themselves, they struck out to capture another vessel -- a pirate ship, which had been in port at the time of the calamity, and spared from a fate at the bottom of the ocean. With this, they could continue their service to the Empire, and eventually, return to friendly waters. | + | : <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font size="2">Immediately, the operatives planted by the Garleans took control of the remaining control.

− | J'Ihand and the rest of the crew of the Horse Maiden successfully captured the ship, killing what few pirates were on board with ease. They stole the ship and tossed the bodies in the harbor, setting out to sea. Before they could even depart the harbor, though, two Limsan warships which had somehow survived the Calamity's wrath pulled aside the new Hoarse Maiden, and boarded: the bodies of the previous crew had been discovered in the harbor, and word sent to the two vessels as they sought refuge from the sea. Poor timing and bad luck gave birth to a fierce battle between the two ships and the Hoarse Maiden's crew. Many of the Hoarse Maiden's pirates were slain, including several of the operatives who served in it. Seeing no way to win the battle, J'Ihand did the only thing he could: he lept from the ship, and into the waters of La Noscea, swimming his way back to shore. Certain he was the only to survive, the Seeker was now without a crew, without a ship, and without any means to reach his Garlean allies. | + | : <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font size="2">J'Ihand and the rest of the crew of the Horse Maiden successfully captured the ship, killing what few pirates were on board with ease.
