History
Like many Dotharl, Vaeros believes himself to be a warrior reincarnated. Believing himself to be walking his fifth life, he traveled from the Azim Steppe with the simple goal to seek out and revel more intense battles in to make his soul burn it's brightest before the eyes of Nhaama and earn his reincarnation once more. As he has in his lives before, or so the stories said. He received relics, said to be passed down through each of his incarnations. These relics appear to be closely tied to the warrior soul of Vaeros and give him an odd connection to his past lives alongside another path to walk in which his soul may burn it's brightest. But weather he will follow in the footsteps of his predecessors or walk a new path entirely is left to be seen.
A life Forgotten
According to the stories told by his tribe. The soul of Vaeros has seen life and rebirth four times. Making him the fifth to bare the name and soul "Vaeros". Whether it was just part of their beliefs or not, it seemed to be very real for this Dotharl as dreams and memories of a familiar time often visited him. Much to his confusion or duress. But after much deliberation and insight to what these visions could be, he has discerned that they are truly fragments of his past lives. . . . .and his past failures, doomed right from the start. However, the memories of one life constantly remained shrouded in fog, so close within his grasp, yet constantly out of his reach. Memories of mighty spells and beckoning spirits. Vaeros set out to learn all he could of this elusive past self. Coming across fascinating magicks and astounding revelations alike. With all he learned, he was able face his current life and walk forward with a stalwart soul. A bright soul.
"And so they called him 'Far Caller' for at the sound of his voice, Calamity was wrought from the annels of history to be visited upon those who dared to stand against him." - Words from a life lived and a life forgotten.
A Sound Mind & Body
Though Vaeros had developed a fondness for the arcane and practiced a bit of it as he grew up. He found himself favoring His mother's teachings more. Her lessons instilled a core value in him; That there is a balance to all things. If he wished to have a strong mind, he needed to have a strong body.
As a result, he trained as she did. Honing his body and mind to embody the "Balance" she spoke of. He found her words to ring ever true as he traveled away from home. Learning of the Monks of Gyr Abania and the strength they held. He spent some time taking in all the lessons that could be found in old records concerning the Temple Of The Fist and the Fists Of Rhalgr. Now, he often answers the call of battle with tempered fists and a bright smile. Utilizing his strength as best he can.
_"A sound soul, resides within a sound mind and a sound body." _
More About Vaeros - A Different Perspective
During his time travelling Eorzea, untangling the enigma that was his name and the deeds of his past lives, Vaeros learnt more of the Allagans. The ones responsible for creating the magicks he eventually came to be fond of. This lead to a series of questions, answers and revelations. He learnt of the terror that still haunts the memories of Eorzeans to this very day. As well as the suffering of the a people the he believed were not spoken about as often as they should; The Dragons.
Vaeros spent time learning of their history. Their suffering at the hands of ancient Allag as well as the long, sorrowful war with Ishgard and the truth that was nearly lost in all the blood shed and countless lost lives. With the fighting over and peace slowly being ushered in, he has come to respect and even admire the dragons as a passionate and proud people. This spurred his interest in ancient truths and near forgotten histories. Driving him to learn all he could about lost civilizations and their peoples.
The Hotgo Massacre
It is very common knowledge among the Xaela that the Dotharl tribe attacked the Hotgo tribe and dwindled their numbers to almost nothing. Effectively erasing the tribe from the Azim Steppe.The reason for such an attack was never clear, some say it was merely done for sport. Others say it was to gain advantage in the coming Naadam.Whatever the reason, it was a great slaughter that most Xaela still remember, or at least have heard of.
Vaeros took part in the the massacre. A fact he is very proud to share when asked about it. But, he only slew warriors. His soul could not burn brightly if he raised his blade against those who could barely fight and he is adamant about his creed. So the Old and the children, he hid away, as many as he could, to later allow them to be taken in by the Kahkol tribe, who are made up of refugees and orphans of defeated and destroyed tribes. Or wanderers, such as the Kha tribe. He is well aware some of the young might remember his face and wish to take their revenge once they have grown, and it is a day he awaits patiently.
Character Hooks
- Vaeros speaks Common in a very formal, polite tone. Sounds far more relaxed and informal when speaking Xaelic. (Xaelic speech would be denoted by "< >" )
- Like all Dotharl, Vaeros loves to fight. Win or lose, he cares little. The fight itself, the chance to show how bright his soul can burn--is what matters most.
- As a result of his love for battle. His body is decorated with scars.
- He tends to wear jewlery on his tail. Consisting of a few rings and a chain connecting two cuffs, one on the base of his spade and the tip.
- The scales and spines of his tail are expressive, relaxing and raising in conjunction with his mood.
- Vaeros is not the smartest of people. He is very kind, quick to trust and even quicker to throw a punch. But he tries his best.
- He has a very large sweet tooth. A baked good, sweet treat or sugary drink is a quick and easy way to get him to like a person and put him into a very good mood.
- Please feed the fighty lizard sweets.
- His Tail tends to wag when happy. (Sweets make him happy)
- If your character would have reason to confront him about the Hotgo Massacre, they are welcome to. They wouldn't be the first. He has encountered quite a few and tends to regard them with sympathy.
- He has an interest in Ancient Allag and lost relics. He's always happy to speak about them and similar topics.
- Has visions sometimes. Greatly confused by them.
OOC
- Walk-ups, Tells all are loved and encouraged. Don't be shy, say hi if you'd like to RP with him.
- I'll have the RP tag up when I'm In-Character, always. If it's not up, I'm just hanging around OOC, most likely lurking, or queueing for Roulettes or some such. Still say hi if you'd like, I'm usually pretty chill.
- All avenues of RP are possible. It all depends on where the story goes.
Just remember to have fun, and love each other. Thank You for reading Vaeros' carrd. ♥
