Character

General

Vysce is a roleplayer in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. He currently roleplays as the miq'ote, Caen Jabari, on the Balmung Server. He began roleplaying officially in 2003 with his first MMO RuneScape 2. Vysce always seeks motivation for playing video games, often coming up with them himself if the story fails to impress. Even in single-player/multiplayer RTS campaigns, Vysce would often draw up treaties and histories of conflicts between warring nations. His role playing borrows heavy themes from the Final Fantasy series, after the game Final Fantasy IX changed the way he views fiction overall.

(2003-2005)RuneScape

The story unfolded on two fronts, the first of the orphan boy Lieru Van Maurader wielding the mythril mace Thorzor and the second of the immortal warrior, Grugnir Ulfsarker. When Lieru found out that an ancient evil was unleashed from beneath the abbey where he lived, he took up his father's mace and journeyed to defeat it. It was the evil wizard Forenzikon that was brought to life and sought the purification of the world via a ritual known as the Sapphire Dawn. Lieru eventually met Grugnir and Sir Foster Belveont, a paladin also seeking an end to evil. The three created the Holy Order of Pandora, a company of heroes that would take up arms to defeat the wizard. When at last the company met Forenzikon, the end of the world had already begun, and while the wizard was slain, there was no stopping the destruction. Grugnir Ulfsarker sacrificed his immortality to try to save his fellow comrades, and the heroes vanished from the plain, which was consumed by the Sapphire Dawn.

• Lieru Van Maurader: An orphan boy turned hero. Lieru is righteous and good, living only to protect others. Wields the mace, Thorzor.
• Grugnir Ulfsarker: An immortal warrior, summoned time and time again to save the world from evil. Wields the great-axe Helsbane.
• Foster Belveont: A knight who is sworn to destroy all evil.
• Felix Nightrose: The last survivor of the Nightrose clan. His family was accidentally slain by Grugnir when the man lost himself to the wolf-spirit. Grugnir killed him when Felix sought revenge.
• Godric Lombadore: An advisor to the King who was mind-wiped by Forenzikon into trapping the Holy Order.
• Arros Toxon: A famed archer and bard who offered his services to the Holy Order.
• Gourien Vysce: A black knight who fought on behalf of Forenzikon. He eventually came to his senses after fighting with Grugnir, and told the man where to find the dark lord.
• Forenzikon: A dark lord bent on the worlds purification via the Sapphire Dawn.

(2007-2010)World of Warcraft

Sin'dorei Gourien Vysce awoke with no memories of his past life and served the Lord Fladen Dravas in his campaign to summon the dark lord Aunzeriuth sealed within a blade hidden somewhere in Kalimdor. Meanwhile Foster Belveont and Grugnir Ulfsarker found themselves whisked away to the Eastern Kingdoms of Azeroth. They quickly became involved with the protection of Stormwind and the Alliance's battle against the Horde. Eventually, the news of the dark-lord Aunzeriuth's revival came to light, and Grugnir traveled to the Azuremyst Isle to destroy the blade, alongside Ambassador Chouhada, sent by the shamans to finish the duties of the Holy Order. Chouhada, Grugnir, and Belveont, along with a host of other heroes were able to defeat the appearance of the sorcerer Garaanth who attempted to raise the dark lord after Fladen uncovered the blade. Ediskrad Malphret, sorcerer to Lord Fladen, was able to save Gourien from certain demise after almost being killed by Grugnir. The destruction of Aunzeriuth tore a rift in the void which Fladen attempted to close, but did not succeed until the void had pulled Belveont, Malphret, and Gourien within. Afterwards, Chouhada and Grugnir went back to serving the Alliance in the war with the Horde.

• Gourien Vysce: A paladin whose loyalty wavered between that of darkness and that of light.
• Fladen Dravas: A Sin'Dorei lord with a fascination with the Void.
• Ediskrad Malphret: Along with his servants Zagnor and Zorpit, the mad Forsaken sorcerer served Lord Fladen in his quest to find the Demon Blade.
• Foster Belveont: A paladin who still seeks an end to the Dark Lords.
• Grugnir Ulfsarker: A werewolf turned hero, he uses his axe to fight against the Horde.
• Ambassador Chouhada: A famous hero turned Alliance Ambassador.

• Garaanth: A zealot priest or darkness seeking the revival of the dark lord Aunzeriuth.

(2010)Dungeons & Dragon's Online

Luxarros Ipsen, a wandering battle-cleric, is washed ashore an unknown land amongst the wreckage of his ship. He journeys to find his lost love when evidence proves she washed ashore as well, and meets up with warriors Grugnir Ulfsarker and Sir Kasanus to find her.

(2010)Star Trek Online

Scientist Logan Freyja was on a special assignment to investigate an anomaly in space near the Scutum-Centaurus Arm where his ship suddenly lost contact. His son, Nathaniel, took it upon himself to send a rescue party to the last point of contact where he found his ship and the ruins of his father's ship surrounded by Borg. In a daring rescue, he was able to beam several survivors aboard his own ship while his father caused a distraction, firing wildly into the Borg vessels. Before Logan could beam to his son's ship, his ship suffered a vital hit and exploded. Although his ship suffered his own casualties, Nathaniel was able to warp back to Starfleet with the survivors. He was welcomed back a hero by some, but since he took his ship to Borg space against Starfleet command, he was stripped of his captain status.

• Nathaniel Freyja: Captain of the Olympic-class science vessel Victory Albatross. He applied heavily into becoming an ambassador to new alien races because of his dream for a fully unified galaxy, and was denied. He found solace in scientific exploration, specifically new technologies and sources of fuel.

(2011-2012) Star Wars: The Old Republic

Pureblood Sith Lord Rovin Vysce was once counted among the greatest sith warriors, yet fell from grace after an a member of the Sith Lord Council sabotaged his new ship to surface beam cannon when he went to present it to them. He then worked for Imperial Reclamations, trying to uncover ancient sith artifacts that would allow him to access more power. It soon came to his knowledge that he had two sons, Gourien Vysce and Cepheus Vysce. While Gourien became a sith acolyte, Cepheus did not wish to affiliate himself with the Empire, and Rovin tried to kill him for it. Cepheus, thoroughly injured, was able to escape and defected to the Republic, chased by the bounty hunter Jyrrus Axrr. While Rovin sought a way to reclaim his seat of power, Gourien's loyalties became to waver, not wishing to be a weapon against the jedi. He eventually found and saved an old kel dor jedi master on Nar Shaddaa named Kaa'ros D'ni, who saw the good in Gourien, and taught him the ways of the jedi. Gourien eventually became strong in the light side of the force and attracted the attention of Rovin who journeyed to kill Gourien himself. The two clashed lightsabers for hours and the injuries were equal on both sides. Rovin attempted to bring down the structure they were in with the force, but Gourien was able to escape with the aide of the arrival of the bounty hunter Jyrrus. Rovin's death was never confirmed, yet Gourien and Jyrrus found solace in using their talents to combat evil throughout the galaxy, Jyrrus assisting when the pay was good, of course.

• Gourien Vysce: A sith acolyte turned jedi, Gourien fights for the good of the Republic.
• Rovin Vysce: A powerful Sith Lord who had everything and lost it all. Rovin was a great pilot and one of the greatest assassins in the Empire until his demise.
• Cepheus Vysce: A charming smuggler who shoots his way out of troubling situations with twin blaster pistols. He was uncredited for his vital assistance in the Republic hold on Ord Mantell and Taris. He was gunned down by Jyrrus Axrr when Cepheus's father Rovin placed a 500,000 credit bounty on the man's head.
• Doctor Xav'ros: A mad scientist and creator of the K-89 Aldrus "Blood-Boiler" virus. He attempted to decimate the Republic forces by almost releasing it onto a space station. While he attempted to escape Republic custody and sell his virus to the black market underground Coruscant, he was thwarted by Leon Belveont and Padawan Ixion. Jyrrus Axrr arrived and blasted the entire compound with his ship, forever destroying the doctor and his virus, along with Leon and Ixion who were caught in the crossfire. Xav'ros was worth 2 million credits after destroying an entire Republic cruiser with explosives.
• Jyrrus Axrr: Ex-bartender, ace fighter pilot, and bounty hunter Jyrrus Axrr plays by his own rules. He doesn't care about who serves who as long as he gets paid for his jobs. He operates out of his modified D5-Mantis, the Phantom Jackal. His morality is a curiosity to some, since Jyrrus would refuse to kill a man in cold blood, yet cause millions of credits in damage and blast away innocents if it meant killing a bounty required dead. While he worked alone at first, he eventually felt for Gourien's position in his fight against his father, and saved the man's life when Rovin tried to kill them. After draining the Sith Lords accounts, Jyrrus allowed Gourien to live in his ship and tour the galaxy in search of credits to be made, never telling the jedi he was responsible for Cepheus's death.

(2013)Guild Wars 2

The love story between the orphan thief Van Maurader and highborn lady Sarisa Shizuko was a poem written across the stars, yet it was not to last. The cruel Sidgar Shizuko took his daughter far away from Divinity's Reach much to Van's dismay. When the boy was older and ventured to find her, he met the warriors Julian and Maea who were creating a force to destroy the centaur threatening to overtake the lands surrounding the Reach. In a massive campaign, Julian was able to lead his mercenary force to victory, but suffered heavy losses. (Note: Due to a sickness and computer issues, Vysce's role playing career in GW2 was cut short.)

(2014)Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn

Five years ago when Dalamud fell, Caen was found unconscious and clinging to a piece of wreckage in Vesper Bay in Western Thanalan. Caen remembered nothing of his first eleven years, and woke up to a world he did not remember living in. All he had on him, besides the tattered rags that covered his body, where water-logged letters addressed to "Caen" from an older brother "Vailyx" and held together by a pair of violet earrings. Thankfully, the kinder fisherman Faust Jabari, was able to find the young miq'ote and semi-raised the boy to be able to live on his own. Five years have passed... and Caen now serves as one of many secretive "errand-tails" who pass letters through Thanalan containing information that would serve to bring power back to the sultana of Ul'dah, unbeknownst to the lad.

• Caen Jabari: A young miq'ote that seeks a peaceful Eorzea.
• Juste Fantome: An ex-Garlean weapon who now seeks redemption in a strange world.
