History

History

Bright Arrow is a tall, somewhat imposing figure. He is very physically fit and headstrong, and likes to think of himself as a tactical planner (though his plans are generally subpar). He values friendship and loyalty above all else, and will fight anyone if they threaten the people he knows. He is not romantic in any way, and though he forms strong bonds with people, he never thinks of love since he see's it as tying himself down. He also values freedom very highly.

To start off, Bright's parents were unable to support him as a child due to being somewhat poor, and instead used what was left of their fortune to sail to Eorzea. Being left to fend for himself he was forced to succumb to unpleasant methods of staying alive, such as robbing bakeries when no one would feed him and robbing people on the street to have good clothes to wear. Because of this, he would frequently clash with the local guard. At the age of 17, this taught him to learn to protect himself more effectively, employing a master blacksmith to make him armor with the last bit of money that he had. His weapon of choice was the axe, since those were readily available in all of the places he would travel to.

Eventually, he realized he needed a steady source of lawful income, as we was feeling extremely guilty of all the crimes he had committed. This thought came at a great time, as an opportunity to work as a bodyguard for a trading company soon arose, and called for strong and physically fit men. The company was going to hold a contest to pick the people they wished to recruit, and besides Bright, multiple Roegadyn traders showed up as well. They competed for a while, until bandits attacked the ceremony. The Roegadyn and Bright successfully fended off the attackers however, and praised each other on their strengths. The company decided to hire all of them, and immediately sent them out on a trip on a ship to Eorzea. Their cargo was attacked multiple times on the way by pirates, but they all slinked back when faced with the formidable bodyguard force they encountered. Bright became good friends with all of the other bodyguards during his time with the company, and they happily would take trips across Doma and the oceans to protect various precious cargoes.

Bright's interactions with Eorzea during these times were peculiar, as most Eorzeans weren't used to seeing Au'ra. Other people often saw him as large and intimidating but wouldn't dare say anything to his face because of the large weapon he always carried with him. Another one of the problems he faced in Eorzea was the total mispronunciation of his name. This led to his Roegadyn friends suggesting that he take up the name Bright Arrow, because in combat he practically glowed with the thrill of combat, and would charge into battle like an arrow in flight. This would later become his official name, to fit in better and try to build a new life..

However, on one of Brights escort missions at the age of 34, he was attacked by a colossal scaled beast. The only thing Bright remembered of that day was that the creature was huge, scaled, and the fact that he hit it at hard as he possibly could, straining his limits to do so, just to protect his friends. Alas, he fell into a fatigued slumber immediately after, and when he had awoken he felt a deep pain coming from his eye. His left eye had been completely slashed and deep scars ran right underneath it. He also noticed that everyone except him was dead. Ice was spread all over the carts and wagons, as well as frozen blood everywhere. Following this Bright fell into a deep and crushing despair, accentuated by the fact that he found a single, ice cold scale at the scene where he remembered attacking the creature.

He went back to Doma and laid low for a while, spending the rest of his money on just enough food to survive. At the age of 36, Bright decided that it was time to move on. He took the next ship to Eorzea, but almost immediately after arriving, the Calamity struck, devastating Eorzea. Despite all of this, Bright only felt encouraged to move on, believing that life was simply trying its hardest to strike him down, but he would not submit. At the age of 46, with his citizenship in Limsa secured, Bright saw a new job listing for a trade company named Abyssal Exchange, seeking mercenaries, traders, and most importantly, bodyguards.
