History
- The second son of Rin Rakutan has always been a disappointment to his family.
- His birth was at first a joyous occasion. Another male born to this small clan.
- But Rin'to wasn't like his brother, Rin'a and his cousin, Any'a. He would play and cling to them, instead of chasing girls like his older brothers. Instead of wanting to hunt or learn the ways of the lands, he'd sneak into the Elder's cottage and read books.
- During his adolescence, he balked at what was expected of him. He had no desire to mate with any of the ladies of his clan. In fact, he felt oddly, like he'd rather mate with the other males of his clan.
- Then the red moon appeared. The pressure was on for Rin'to to contribute to the clan. Rin'to steadfastly held his ground until he was threatened with exile. Cursing them, he stated "Curse you, I hope the red moon takes you all!" Those were the last words spoken to his clan.
- He left the clan's small village and took a long hike away to gather his thoughts. And that is when Bahamut appeared from Dalamud and wrought the cataclysm. His village was destroyed. There was no survivors.
- After the destruction of his village, he made his way south to Ul'dah. There, he began his formal study of Thaumaturgy and opened up a small baked goods stand in the marketplace to fund his research.
