❝ Here is a boy who was waiting to be punished. But then, unexpectedly, he finds that his fault has been overlooked or forgiven and at once the world reappears in brilliant colors, full of delightful prospects.”
born the runt of his litter and sicker than the others, liokki was pampered by his loving mother and hidden away within the confines of their stone cottage. even when liokki had reached puberty and needed to join his brothers in the protection of their village his mother denied the council and tradition and pretended he was female, making him follow in the footsteps of his sisters.you would think he would balk at such circumstances but he never felt at home as his actual sex and the thought of holding a weapon and taking a life shook the confines of his soul.unfortunately, fate comes for us all and in his 15th year garleans invaded his village, setting fire to the cottages and hovels and killing all who stood in their path. whether anyone other than him survived he did not know but because his mother always kept him so closely guarded in their basement, the stone kept the fire from reaching him.liokki arose from the wreckage and saw the blackened remains of all that he held dear and vowed revenge on the garleans and in some ways himself as well. that day he picked up a lance and began the training he and his mother had been so intent on running from.now an orphan, he charted a course to eorzea with whatever gil he could find in the cinders, and began his training as a lancer. not the best by any means, actually he was at the bottom of his class but he continued to practice his craft and even lived with the guildmaster ywain for a time since he was without a home and had spent his last coin coming to the city.eventually, his guilt and thoughts of being a burden and a failure got to him and he trekked to ul’dah to begin life as a gladiator to gain combat experience and notoriety and hopefully some gil to repay ywain. he found himself struggling to survive and hardly winning any of his matches. he took to the underground against his will, a sell spear for the merchants and miscreants of the city.till one day he met another adventurer in the arena, a blue haired miqo’te who was kind enough to buy him bed and board after he had decimated him in their match. a friendship was struck and by his side was where liokki stayed, traveling from one location of the star to another until stories of a hidden faction in ul’dah reached his ears.at first, he took it as mere rumors, but even as he had his fun gathering friends everywhere they went, revenge for his family was all that took up space in the back of his mind. so he went back to the city that had left him destitute and eventually his contacts granted him a meeting with the reapers, a gaggle of garlean refugees trying to survive in their own way.while he had no love for them, the power they held was far too tempting to ignore and he made a pact with a voidsent and was officially a reaper himself. at first, the deal was mutually rewarding, even without holding a scythe his power was ten fold, he however was not aware of the creature eating away at him to finally take over.then one day, the twin adder looked for recruits in the battle against the garlean invasion and liokki was more than happy to lend his sword to the cause. a relatively normal military career followed and he assisted in mild skirmishes at best and held watch at the ala mihgan bases.finally, the day came when his revenge could be made manifest. his squadron got word of the battle in paglth’an and bade them to join the fray and they did, and liokki felt a thrill inside at finally being able to destroy those who had destroyed that which he loved. but, they had been warned to only attack in self defense since they were not in full command of their mind.all of which liokki tossed to the wind once they stepped onto the battlefield. why should he show mercy to those who had none? his rage was so great that his voidsent finally put his machinations into fruition and took over liokki’s body and he began causing carnage. only thanks to his friends, also on the battlefield as soldiers, and the reveal of his remaining brother forced as a garlean soldier did he break out of his haze and feel shame for what he had done.they were able to remove the dark entity from him, although the stain on his soul still remained, and he threw away his scythe but he knew he had to face what he had done and brought himself to the authorities and he was imprisoned at the camp of broken glass until they could properly sentence him. The last days came, by providence it seems, and his guards were turned into beasts and his brother, who had escaped from the garlean military thanks to the collapse of their political leadership, came to break him out.they traversed for some time, getting to know one another once more, liokki even had a contact in ishgard, a noble woman he had been a guard to for sometime, turning his prison time into simply assisting the garlean refugees and getting them supplies. something he was more than happy to do, with the bonfire anger he once felt for them now a small flame at best. once he had finished and the citizens had a solid enough settlement his eyes turned westward with the discovery of tural.he and his brother sailed to the mythical land and he began his training in earnest to be an astrologian to assist in healing his brother as they had adventures in yok and xak tural helping this person and that person. he even picked up a bit of dancing and painting from the locals.however, his second home once again called to them and they once again sailed back to eorzea, back to where it began, in gridania. and that is where he currently resides along with his brother.
verses

ㅤMAIN VERSE :ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ㅤ ——— ㅤ maladjusted, shy and self loathing viera who strives to gain power to stop the garleans and to get revenge for his fallen family and home. he traveled all over eorzea in search of power first going to gridania to join the lancer’s guild only to go to the blazing city of ul’ dah a year later due to ostracism. ul’dah was a difficult city for him and often the viera slept in bars and street alleyways while he took the occasional adventurous excursion in between many battles in the coliseum for gil. it was here, when he was at his lowest and collapsed did he get reintroduced to cobalt and the man was kind enough to allow the teen viera to follow him to limsa.
