Calius Lavrin

⬦-Backstory-⬦

Beginning ---⬥---⬥---⬥---⬥---⬥---⬥

Calius Orben was born and raised in the Azim Steppes among one of the several Xaela tribes that resided there. As part of the Orben- he has an innate sense of natural naval navigation, and the ability to reinforce and craft boats using his own scales. He enjoyed living there with his brother, playing and practicing their craftsmanship in the great inner rivers of the Steppes. But in due time, that peacefulness was bound to break apart.

His younger brother had always been a care-free soul. A curiosity that was insatiable, and a longing for adventure was clear underneath the distance gaze that would stare into horizon. When someone new visited the tribe to trade or pass-by, Thael would be one of the first to ask the visitor for any tales. Places they have been, stories that they have heard- he wanted to know all. And Calius would see his brother grow more enamored by each word spoken.

He knew that his brother wanted to leave the Steppes. Thael hadn't spoken about it- but it was apparent in his actions alone. Even going as far as to craft 'secret boats' late at night, test driving them along the edges of the Ruby Sea. Calius knew in due time his brother will be successful as he grew older. He became fearful of what would happen... his only close relative leaving him behind. To who knows where- and if any contact would even be made or lost. It wasn't something Calius could convince him out of. And if he couldn't get him to stay- then he ended up deciding he would help him instead.

Together, Calius assisted his younger brother in crafting a durable boat- to carry the two of them. He hadn't given it much thought before, but deep down inside- he was also curious about the world beyond the Steppes. He would eavesdrop on the stories- of poisonous bubbling lakes, a land of snow as far as the eye could see, flying dragons looming above cities taller than the Dawn Throne itself, even the concept of flying ships. Maybe he wanted to confirm if these tales were true.

And so, after months of trial and error they succeeded in making a durable boat to survive seafare- at least in the Ruby Sea. It was a small boat- certainly not like any of the large trading vessels they'll see at a port. (see: background image) But it was sufficient enough for the two of them. They set off, leaving their home behind, and started their journey into the vast unknown.

The Roe Named Lavrin ---⬥---⬥---⬥---⬥

Note: This is where things start to differ from their Canon for RP purposes (The Roe they meet is the Warrior of Light, and when that WoL dies in the future, they become fake WoLs in her place- for RP lore I am going to stray away from Main Story stuff- can read about their canon stories here- it's also in the process of being rewritten into carrds)

Current Events ---⬥---⬥---⬥---⬥---⬥

Calius and Thael split off ways to achieve their separate (but united) goals. Not used to being apart from his brother, Calius becomes reserved- keeping to himself most of time as he explores around the realm to expand his knowledge.

Having an interest in strange events and locations, he chooses to visit the Sapsa Spawning Grounds in Western Thanalan. The colorful fauna and flora are not commonly seen anywhere else- and it was something he wished to witness upfront. But upon arrival- he was met with pointed weapons and aggression by the inhabitants. Disappointingly, he had to turn back, but he wasn't ready to give up just yet. Ripping a page from a book, Calius decided to create a flier for any wanderers passing by looking for work. He was seeking an able adventurer(s) to assist him on his endeavor; a bodyguard to make sure harm doesn't come his way. But after a long time of waiting, no one had come to take up his offer- he even had a generous reward of mustard eggs. With little patience to wait any longer, he continued to make the trek by himself. Stealthily this time. All was going well for a part of the journey. He avoided the sights of the sahagin, and followed along the walls to safely make through the dark passages. But eventually... things were not going as planned.

A hard knock impacted the back of his head.

And he fell to the floor unconscious.

When the man had awoken, he wasn't sure how long time had ticked on by. In front of him stood two strangers, apparently the ones that woke him up. They asked him questions- what his 'name' was, why was he here, but with a throbbing, rhythmic pain that coursed through his head- he couldn't answer much. He had forgotten who he was- and even what a 'name' means.

The two strangers looked at each-other. They had to call the man something- and informed him it was a way for one to identify themselves among others. If they had to call him something for convenience- what would it be?

The man reflected on the question. It sounded like something important to take seriously. He thought and thought- but there was only one word that could only come to mind:

Lavrin.

Introducing himself, the two agree to help him with his current condition. Having forgotten his original goals- he strives towards a new one: to reclaim his lost memories.
