Biography

Louis left his home at a young age wanting to explore and see the world. He traveled from one place to another taking in the sights, learning the culture, and experiencing the cuisine. His adventures eventually led him to cross paths with a elderly and mortally wounded swordsman clutching his blade. He helped the man into town only to find that the healers could do nothing but comfort him. Instead of leaving Louis, stayed with him to keep him company during his final moments. They conversed for awhile and at one point the man motioned to his sword and started to tell Louis an amazing tale of how the sword was magical and a weapon of light against the forces of dark. He explained that each time a wielder of the blade fell a new one would rise to take his place. The old man was sure that their meeting was not a coincidence and that Louis was meant to take up the blade next. He then handed Louis a coin and told him to take the blade and travel to Doma.

Louis felt like he had to honor the man's request, and with one last smile, the man passed. Louis reached for the blade. As he picked it up he felt a surge of power enter him, it caught him off guard bringing him to his knees.He passed out as his head hit the floor. The next morning he awoke, and as he climbed out of bed and dressed himself he noticed that his body was changed; he was in better shape, and also felt stronger, like there was a new power within him. And... something else, like voices. He shook his head and made his way to the port determined to make it to Doma. On his way to the port he was attacked by a group demanding the sword. Louis grabbed the blade instinctively and a moment later his attackers all laid on the ground groaning in pain. Louis stood there for a moment, confused. He was no sword fighter -- where did that come from. He did not ponder for long as the groans snapped him back into reality and he hastily made his way to the boat.

Not much is known about the time he spent in Doma, other that when he arrived and asked about the coin he was taken in by the Domans and trained in their fighting styles. Many referred to him as the “Ninja Known as Louis”, but eventually this was shortened to Ninja Lou. He left Doma a warrior, master of his blade and the power that came with it. His travels took him all over that part of the world. He even slew a dragon while protecting a farmer and his land -- this earned him the nickname “Dragon Warrior”. He met a Doman named Shin, becoming fast friends and shortly after that he met his future wife Reis. They continued to travel together till this day.

His adventures on that side of the world came to an end when one day his swords were stolen from him. This feat was thought to be impossible since they were bonded to him and they chose who wielded them. The trio moved quickly to try and track down the thief, and they were able to discover that this thief had made their way to Eorzea. Louis was determined not to let the swords fall into the wrong hands, and he boarded a boat with his friends to Limsa Lominsa.

Shorly after disembarking, the group left the city and headed out into the wilderness. It was there that they came across a young red haired miqo'te half-breed. She was unconscious and dying, and looked as though she had been severely beaten. In her hands, she clutched a bloody dagger. There were no signs of her assailants nearby. Louis and the others brought her to safety and nursed her back to health. When she had recovered, she had no memory of her past. Since she had nowhere to go, Louis invited her to join their group. She accepted, but since adventuring was a hazardous trade, the group felt that she should have some training first. However, when Louis started to train her, he soon discovered that the young half-breed was skilled with daggers, and many skills that one would attribute to thieves.

He nicknamed her “Swift” since she was quick on her feet. Reis quickly vetoed that, deciding that it was too cheesy to be someone's name. She suggested the name “Tikka”, since it sounded vaguely miqo'te. The half-breed decided she liked the sound of that, but then took up Louis's nickname as well, though instead applied it as a surname. Their trio became a quartet, and the four began adventuring together. In time, Louis began to see Tikka as a little sister, and grew very protective of her. Everywhere they went, she was quick to forge new contacts, often of the shady underworld variety – a talent that Louis knew could only prove useful in locating his missing blade.

But even without his sword, he continues to help those in need. Any free time beyond that, he spends on trying to track down the thief, hoping to one day reclaim what is his.
