P E R S O N A L I T Y


Diligent by nature, Kahran may come off as cold or standoffish. He seems to truly dislike the presence of overly cheery people, but he does not fend anyone away. He is calm, calculated, and stoic, poised perfectly for the role of an officer. He is not above addressing concerns of those who need is help, despite what his terse nature might imply. At times, he almost seems like an inhuman sentinel, though occasionally a glimmer of compassion and emotion break through to the surface. Unfortunately, what one sees is mostly what one gets. Kahran does not become very warm the longer he knows a person. He does, however, open up to questions once one has proven themselves trust worthy, interesting, or an equal in battle or virtue. He has a great respect for those with honor and constitution, and if a person proves to be a worthy leader with a good cause, he will offer his abilities to aid them, so long as it does not cause harm to his homeland of Garlemand.


A P P E A R A N C E


Kahran is a somewhat tall Midlander Hyur with a lean, but muscular build. He often wears heavy armor, but favors trench coats and tailors linens when not in battle. His hair is a very pale blonde, almost like cream, which is cut to just below his cheekbones. It often rests in an obscuring fashion over his gold eyes, which are strikingly bright, almost as if they glow. He has somewhat gaunt features, and his resting expression is one of cold indifference.

β–  Skill. Ramsus has a true appreciation for those who hone their craft, be it battle, craft, or gathering.

D I S L I K E S

β–  Religion. Outdated and dangerous. The fixation with The Twelve is the cause of this chaos.

Q U I R K S

β–  Face Twitches. A telling habit of his lips twitching or his eyes squinting, giving away an emotion.

β–  Blushing. When you manage to make him blush, he's red from ear to ear. It stands out on pale skin.

N P C

  Legatus Nael van Darnus (   βœ–  βœ”  β™₯ ) ( NPC ) - The White Raven
His superior officer, as well as the man who commissioned his creation and destruction. Ramsus has a complex relationship with the now dead Garlean. He respected the man he once was, even loved him, but now recognizes his insanity, and ultimately feels stupid and reckless for having been so willingly blind to his true intentions. He is still uncertain if he was being manipulated by him through mentally conditioned keywords, making his feelings all the more mixed.
  Momodi (   β™¦ ) ( NPC ) - The Quicksand Tavernkeeper
After the Calamity, Ramsus wandered from Mor Dhona to the Thanalan, aimless and hoping to die from exposure to the harsh sun. He fainted beside the road, and was found by Momodi on her way back to Ul'Dah. She took him in and nursed him back to health, despite he wishes against it. When she eventually found out his identity, she looked hard into his eyes, told him he'd paid enough for his crimes, and agreed to keep it a secret, so long as he agreed to help people no matter their citizenship. He will always do favors for her, when she needs him.

P C

  J'bhal Nunh (   β™   β— ) - The Pirate
In their short meeting, Ramsus knew two things about the Miqo'te. 1: He was as annoying as he was skilled with a gun. 2: He was far too interested in ancient artifacts to be a mere pirate. He dislikes pirates on principle, and J'bhal certainly didn't make it any harder to dislike him when he tried to flirt with him. Ramsus views him as a confusing man, who has no idea whether he wants to be an honorable scholar or pub scum.
  Mar'khas Sol (   β— ) - The Double Agent
In the midst of trying to fend off a group of Amal'jaa from a village, Ramsus found himself suddenly assisted by a young Miqo'te, who was nearly as energetic as a cub. He was a talaneted fighter, and won Ramsus' respect when he managed to take down the leader of the group with a mere two swings. He can tell there is something more to the lad, but he will not ask questions unwarranted. He instead chose to bid him farewell, and only hours later and malms away did he realize the bastard had stolen his coin purse.

The Boy From Doma

Not much is known about the boy from Doma who would one day become Cohort Kahran Ramsus of the VIIth legion. His name was Kahran B., and he was a fifteen year old recruit to the Garlean Military, hoping to gain citizenship for his mother and sister by serving in the military. His records were wiped shortly after the date The β€œRamsus” Project came to fruition and failure, around the time of the original Garlean incursion of 1577 of the Sixth Astral Era.

The β€œRamsus” Project

The β€œRamsus” Project, started by the order of Legatus Nael Van Darnus of the VIIth Legion, was originally intended to bestow soldiers with magical abilites via the mysterious Ascians. Using their advanced technology, as well as captured and enslaved mages, they managed to capture not an actual Ascian, but the essence of one. They used this residual energy to form a symbiotic conduit, which attained individual sentience. However, when Dalumud was discovered, Darmus' interests turned to it, instead, to serve as his method of domination. Project Ramsus was ended, and the symbiote was sent to be destroyed to prevent complications.

As it was waiting in transport, knowing of its fate to be incinerated, the symbiote attacked and merged with the on-duty guard, β€œKahran B.” This process killed the fifteen year old soldier, and severed the connection between the symbiote and the Ascians, but as a result, β€œKahran Ramsus” was born. As this hybrid being, Ramsus now possessed the ability to see into the void, and perceive dark energy much in the same way as Scions do with Hydaelyn's Light. He destroyed many of the records of his host, and reenlisted in the Military under his new name with the intent to prove his worth to his creator, Legatus Darmus.

A Career in the Garlean Military

Ramsus excelled in his training and service, proving to be an exceptional hoplomachi and strategist. He spent the next fifteen years of his life raising through the ranks of the Garlean Military until he finally received a request to serve as Cohort to the VIIth Legion, extended from Legatus Darnus, himself. Upon reuniting with Legatus Darnus, Ramsus originally intended to usurp him and take his place, truly proving his worth by surpassing the man who commissioned his existence. Though his attempts were abandoned when Darnus learned of his actual identity, and revealed his true intentions to him. Upon learning of his quest, Ramsus felt compelled to aid in ending the chaotic pagan destruction. He saw the destruction of the Primals as an exorcism of violent and outdated deities, thus establishing aetherial balance by destroying all aetherial presence.

Dalamud's Influence

As Legatus Darnus and his colleague, Legatus Gaius Van Baelsar left Garlemand on an ambitious quest to conquer Eorzea, Ramsus accompanied as Cohort, serving him in many battles. Though as time went on, Ramsus began to notice his master changing. He feared Dalamud was the cuplrit, influencing Darnus' mind, but could not bring himself to disobey or leave him, no matter how mad he seemed to become.

Legatus Baelsar, in his attempts to prevent Dalamud's use, revealed to Ramsus that he was not truly loyal to Darnus, but instead being manipulated by him via control words imprinted on his consciousness while being grown in the Garlean labs. He tried to tell Ramsus that Darnus' true plan was not to dominate and control, but to eradicate and destroy. Ramsus refused to believe him outwardly, choosing to continue serving Darnus until his work was done.

During the Battle of Carteneau, Ramsus fought on the front lines with his soldiers in his Legatus' service. However, when Dalamud revealed its true purpose, and Bahamut emerged from it's shattered shell, Ramsus knew his life was at an end. Baelsar was right. Darnus wished only for death and destruction. However, seemingly ordained by fate, he was spared. Assumed dead with the rest of his Cohort, which had been annihilated in the blast, Ramsus used the opportunity to desert the Garlean military and start a new life as 'Kahr'.

After the Calamity

For the past years since the Calamity, Ramsus has taken up the role of wandering protector, trying to find his purpose in individual acts for people. He misses his home greatly, and misses the possibility of order across the land through Garlean rule. He knows he can never return, and therefore chooses to prove to himself that there is more than chaos in these foreign lands.
