Perhaps his fondest memory during his youth was a Seeker of the Sun Miner with "Deep emerald eyes and hair as white as the clouds above" whom he only called "Jaguar" as he never learned her name. From that point forward, he made sure to learn the names of the women he spends the nights with. As expected, these experiences molded him into the daring, lecherous and skilled adventurer that he is today.</font></div><br> |

Passing by Southern Thanalan, Rance made a considerable amount of Gil by mining and smithing mythril ingots, it was there where he met several Miqo'te from the U tribe as he traded Mythril ore with them, earning funds to start a new venture. Traveling to Ala Mhigo, Rance and Sill were ambushed by the troop of a Garlean warrior named Rickard Aan Valerius, true name Rickard Addison. In the onslaught of their battle, Rance and Rickard foguht to a stalemate and yet, despite being so close to kill each other, they became fast friends. Invited to the Garlean Armed Forces by Rickard, both Rance and Sill soon joined and fought many battles in Gyr Abania and North Thanalan against Resistance and Allied Forces. During the following months, Rance along with Sill and Rickard were deployed to deal with Doman Rebels. During one of the skirmishes, Rance's troop was engaged by the army of Kenshi Uesugi, of the many Doman Warlords opposing the Empire, challenging the Rickard himself. Kenshi was a Samurai famed by her beauty and skill with the blade, reason why Rance decided to face her instead of Rickard. The battle ended mostly in a stalemate, with Kenshi having the advantage most of the time, and eventually the two forces retreated. Albeit slightly wounded with his battle with rhe Doman Swordsmaiden, Rance decided to make her his woman. In the course of the following weeks, Kenshi's Clan was defeated by a combined assault of mefhanized infrantry and aereal attacks by the Garlean Forces, eventually capturing her. Using that opportunity to get in her good graces, Rance negotiated her release as a vassal Clan to the Garlean Empire in exchange for the pay of his campaign (and to the slight disapproval of Sill and Rickard, their pay too). It was there, however, when news of the defeat of Legatus Gaius van Baelsar reached the Garlean Forces in Doman shores. Knowing that it wouldn't take long for the Empire to be on the defensive, Rance and his two companions defected from the Garlean Armed Forces. It was then when tragedy struck, as Rick was then killed by Imperial Shadows who tried to stop the defectors. With his last breath, Rance's best friend asked him to take care of his son back in Eorzea. Begrudgingly, Rance had no choice but to accept the dying wish of his "battle brother". Traveling to Kugane from Doma, Rance and Sill performed several tasks until they gained enough money to buy a small house in the district of Shirogane. From there, Rance began his quest for riches, glory and women... An ambition he nearly forgot but was rekindled after so many battles and the loss of a dear friend.</font></div> |

Details
General Information Rance Claire, also known only as Rance, is a male Midlander Hyur from Ul'dah. Raised in an orphanage for the first 12 years of his life, he decided to leave and explore the world. For the following 14 years, he learned many skills and trades, becoming a mercenary, sword-for-hire and free-lancer adventurer. At some point he was even considered as a possible candidate to join the ranks of the Sultansworn, at least until he found their lifestyle to be too rigid. Known for his lust for life, gold, seashell and women, Rance gained a reputation for being loud, selfish and lecherous... Yet, the few that he can call "friends" attest that he has a surprisingly caring and loyal side, willing to even risk his life to aid them if the situation calls for it. Appearance
