Character
General
Lanza Razaul was at one time, a young member of the Sultansworn. However due to his immature attitude involving his rank, he grew to abuse his power for personal gain and was soon disgraced, now working as merely a member of the Brass Blades and patrolling the streets of Ul'dah. Though originally born in Gridania, at the age of seven his parents attempted to flee to Ul'dah before Dalamud fell in hopes of finding somewhere safer to hide. However they failed and after the Calamity struck, Lanza was left in the now transformed Thanlan desert, alone and delirious. Finding his way to Ul'dah, without a means to survive, he took to pickpocketing and burglary to find his meals till the day he made an attempt at a woman named Mylla, who after a short brawl; offered the bloodied Lanza training in order to steer him right.
Nowadays, he admittedly looks at his duties as a Brass Blade as more of a bother than anything, seeking to leave the city walls and adventure with the people he's met in the Quicksand.
Appearance
The hazel-eyed hyur stands at an average height, often overshadowed by some of the taller men of his kind, but far from the shortest. Unless a situation calling for otherwise arises, his eyes typically bear a bored, nonchalant look to them, lazily glancing over at small things that catch his interest, if even for a moment. Across his nose however, is a wide scar hanging under his eyes, when asked about it, he'll almost proudly exclaim "Oy oy, I got this when I was just lad, and Mylla went and bloodied me up some for being a sod, eh?". Despite all this, since his days as a Sultansworn, many have called Lanza a "pretty-boy" in reference to his delicate face and blonde hair; to which he would hardly call them wrong for.
Behavior
Lanza can be seen at times patrolling up and down the steps of Nald'thal, giving only passing interest to those around him. Occasionally he might strike up conversation with a pretty girl, but more often than not he's anxious to get his shift over with. However, despite his abhorrence for his job, he always tries his best to do what is required of him out of a sense of duty and responsibility. Off-duty however, Lanza is a much more free spirit, typically helping his friends, or total strangers he meets out in the field more for excitement than out of hopes for his own personal gain. (Not that he'll say no if payment is offered.) Admittedly, he also has a soft spot for any kind of violence, longing for a match that will put him down, only so he can stand back up and more than likely be knocked down again. He is a man who likes to be almost destroyed in combat, simply so he can say "Oy, well that was a load of fun, eh?"
Combat
General
Lancer/Dragoon After his dishonorable discharge, he fled back to Gridania, in hopes that there he could find a new life for himself and forget about his past failures. There he began to work alongside the Wood Wailers, while learning the arts of the lance. Hearing a rumor involving much superior lancers in Ishgard, he decided to travel towards the frostbitten land of Coerthas in order to further his training, where due to a series of events, he came under the influence of the Dragon Spirit, which in time he has learned to control.
Gladiator/Paladin Considered more his 'work' gear, Lanza only wields a blade nowadays out of necessity to conform to the uniform standards of the Brass Blades. However on occasion, he may lend his sword and shield to someone who truly needs it.
