Honestly When I First Heard DT Was Going To Be In The New World I Was Wary How Much I'd Need To Change About Fyr's Background - Tumblr Posts

Name: Fyrkoen Sotiramas Pronouns: He/Him Romantic status: Married to Bright Sea Combat jobs (subject to change): PLD, GNB, WHM, AST, MNK, DRG, SAM, VPR, MCH, BRD, DNC, SMN, RDM, PCT, BLM, BLU Master crafter and gatherer

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.
