====Personality:====

Valena was once over confident but since the Calamity has become unsure of herself. She can come off as short or rude to new acquaintances but is generally good-natured and loyal to those who get to know her. She can occasionally be witty and sarcastic, especially around friends.
+
Never one to pass up an opportunity, Autolycus has an ear for rumors and will usually blindly follow them. This normally leads to peril for anyone that happens to find themselves entangled with him at the time.  More than just landing the big score, his motivation is to be the one who did the landing and because of this he can come off cocky or arrogant, though never intentional.

Valena was born in Ala Mhigo to a coastal village in 1545. Her brother, Octavian, was born in 1550. When the Garleans attacked in 1557, Valena's father died to give his family time to escape to the water. They were saved by a Roegadyn named Moernmoen. He was the Chief Mate on the Styrjaega, a freelance ship from Limsa Lominsa, hired to scout the area. Moernmoen brought them to Limsa Lominsa. He continued to stay in touch with Valena's family and acted as a mentor to Valena.
+
Autolycus's earliest memories are that of an orphanage, his parentage a mystery. He discovered he had a talent for sneaking away from the grounds at young age, procuring food and various nicknacks.  Unable to conform to the strict tutelage of the school, his exploits brought a different sort of attention from his teachers and soon he became a topic of interest (not always in a positive light) among his peers. Basking in the attention, his activities eventually led him away from the orphanage for good.
  
−
A year later her mother met Victor Everardi, and soon remarried. Valena's Half-Sister, Camille Everardi, was born in 1560.
+
The next several years found Autolycus living a nomadic, solitary life.  He took what he needed, and then some, always having just enough to get him out of any unfortunate circumstances. Rumors of a faraway, ruined castle led him to a land called Oztroja.  It was in these ruins that Autolycus honed his art and built a reputation for himself.  This self proclaimed King of Thieves never missed an opportunity to grow his legend and began to tackle jobs and follow rumors that others in his trade dismissed as either a myth or impossible.
  
−
From an early age Valena took a strong interest in combat and battle tactics. She would rather swing a sword or practice symbols than play with her baby sister. She often begged grounded Malestrom crew to teach her. While they would entertain her requests with basic techniques, it wasn't until her 18th birthday that her mother allowed to study Arcanum and combat strategy. She trained religiously in her free time for her goal, to join the Crimson Fleet of Malestrom. Three years later, Valena left Lominsa and joined the Black Sails. Her brother joined her a few years later.
+
One of these misadventures led Autolycus to an enchanted mirror in which he promptly sprung the magical trap laid upon it. When he awoke, Autolycus found himself in a new, strange land. Resorting to his skills to get by only landed him in the middle of an ongoing war. Avoiding conscription and taking sides, Autolycus struggled to gain a foothold for himself. That was, until the explosion.

Valena volunteered for an infantry position for the Battle of Carteneau Fields. She knew the Eorzean Alliance was outnumbered, but she couldn't let her brother face it alone.

During the Battle of Carteneau Fields Valena was mortally wounded. Having already witnessed her brother's last breathe and believing herself to be dead either way, she pushed herself to fight until she could no longer raise her weapon. This plan was ruined when Dalamud exploded.
+
A short time after Dalamud's explosion, Autolycus heard rumors of a fledgling rogues' guild surfacing in Limsa Lominsa. Seeing this as his chance to regain his past glory, and carve out a nice chunk of wealth, Autolycus quickly rose through its ranks and in the process, mastered a new combat style.
  
−
When Valena regained her senses, she found herself in her hysteric sister's arms and dying from her wounds. She was saved, but not without loosing the use of her left leg and much of her strength. Ashamed by her new weakness and mourning the death of her brother, she left Camille's care as soon as she was able.
+
Putting his new skills to work, Autolycus grew far wealthier than he ever had been in his former home. Now he works to spread his name throughout the realm, following every lead he can to treasure.

Background

Pre-Calamity:

Autolycus's earliest memories are that of an orphanage, his parentage a mystery. He discovered he had a talent for sneaking away from the grounds at young age, procuring food and various nicknacks. Unable to conform to the strict tutelage of the school, his exploits brought a different sort of attention from his teachers and soon he became a topic of interest (not always in a positive light) among his peers. Basking in the attention, his activities eventually led him away from the orphanage for good.

The next several years found Autolycus living a nomadic, solitary life. He took what he needed, and then some, always having just enough to get him out of any unfortunate circumstances. Rumors of a faraway, ruined castle led him to a land called Oztroja. It was in these ruins that Autolycus honed his art and built a reputation for himself. This self proclaimed King of Thieves never missed an opportunity to grow his legend and began to tackle jobs and follow rumors that others in his trade dismissed as either a myth or impossible.

One of these misadventures led Autolycus to an enchanted mirror in which he promptly sprung the magical trap laid upon it. When he awoke, Autolycus found himself in a new, strange land. Resorting to his skills to get by only landed him in the middle of an ongoing war. Avoiding conscription and taking sides, Autolycus struggled to gain a foothold for himself. That was, until the explosion.

Seeing this as his chance to regain his past glory, and carve out a nice chunk of wealth, Autolycus quickly rose through its ranks and in the process, mastered a new combat style.

Putting his new skills to work, Autolycus grew far wealthier than he ever had been in his former home. Now he works to spread his name throughout the realm, following every lead he can to treasure.
