Name: Bright Sea Pronouns: He/Him Romantic status: Married to Fyrkoen Sotiramas Combat jobs (subject to change): MNK, WHM, PLD, WAR(complicated relationship with it) Competent gatherer, WVR , ARM, and LTW and learning CUL from Fyrkoen.

Meets Fyrkoen in passing towards start of story, but doesn't join until HW-post story. His most unique ability is a strong aetheric sensitivity that he has been forced to get under control. He can channel it into conjury, but also he can become attuned to someone's aetheric signature if around them enough. To the point that he can essentially sense someone's vague direction, going so far as to sensing well-being if around someone truly long enough. Fyrkoen is where this becomes most apparent, since they stick together nearly all the time once Bright makes it a trio. As a child of Ala Mhigo, he was learning basics of Monk training, until the occupation forced his family apart. He and one of his sisters escaped to Thanalan with other refugees, being forced to leave his parents and other sister behind while he was still very young. A complicated, difficult upbringing of survival, resistance, and forced complacency under the monetarists pushing him into the Bloodsands to keep himself and his sister safe. Standoffish and reserved, he gradually comes out of his shell a bit more over the course of the adventure, to the point that, especially when in his PLD gear, people assume he's the Warrior of Light between he and Fyr.

He's the Warrior of Light in my story and also has a unique ability tied to soul crystals where he can attune to a specific hero within the crystal, communicate with them, train under them, and utilize their abilities. While fully utilizing the crystal, he will take on attire and even personality traits reminiscent of what the hero themselves would wear, despite their lacking memories of their pasts. (Exceptions are RDM and PCT, as Fyr learned those in a more conventional way without a soul crystal hero)

An Eorzean with a complicated birth situation. As a newborn, he was taken in by a traveling merchant who took the young Roe back home to Xak Tural to raise the baby with his wife in their mixed race family. Not seeing other Roegadyn, other than occasional meetings with a wandering man named Tankwa, he was othered from a very young age. As a result, he's very reserved, but since he was, for the most part, not othered due to any malice, he generally maintained a friendliness whenever he did have a chance to talk with others. He struggled to make friends, but sure as heck tried. Sometimes trying too hard. To support his parents, even as a child, he put himself to work by working as a gatherer and eventually picking up on the various crafts, as well. Working like that for about 20 years, he developed a mastery over the land and hand. Always wondering in the back of his mind if he should go to Eorzea to try and learn about his background, it's not until he hears a traveler fresh off the boat from across the salt mention the name "Sotiramas." Fyrkoen couldn't hear what his name was in reference to, but when he tried to find the traveler, they seemingly disappeared. This was the final push Fyr needed to make the trek and start his journey.

When the only other Roe you'd see growing up as an adopted little lad in Tural is not only everything you knew him to be, but also a renowned Eorzean explorer and you two have a lot to catch up on.
