☙ Quick History ❧

Reyr Tahno was born to a very rigid, militaristic Viera village in the very depths of the Golmoran Jungle. When his gender was revealed as a young child, he was pulled from his family - particularly two of his sisters whom he had grown extremely close to: Rhjn and Ysera. Taken to the male village, he was trained in the ways of the Wood and to be a hunter and protector of the Wood.Reyr settled deep into his tribe's customs, rituals, rules and culture and became the perfect warrior for their tribe. He was nearing one hundred and fifty when he was being considered to be Second to their Chieftan, the youngest to be considered in their tribe's history. One patrol however, his hunting party was ambushed by a large Garlean contingent and the battle, long and grueling, was lost for the Viera. Half dead, the other half - including Reyr - were taken as slaves and taken with the Garleans to their nearest castrum.Reyr served as a slave for nearly five years before his martial prowess was observed when he came to the rescue of the daughter of the Legatus he was serving. He was immediately conscripted into the Garlean military. Knowing there was no escape from this life, Reyr committed fully to his new circumstances. Though he was a second class citizen, he was determined to work as hard as he could and be the best he could be.He was placed into the XIIth Legion where he was sent to Doma. Along with a half-Elezen, half-Garlean woman, named Zhaavi that he befriended, they both worked together to rise through the ranks under Lord Zenos. Their paths eventually diverged when their tribunus laticlavius took a favoring to Zhaavi and Lord Zenos himself, intrigued by Reyr's uniqueness as a rare male viera, took an interest in Reyr - him, along with many others who caught his interest in an effort to 'cure his boredom'. Be it through favoritism or hard work, Reyr never knew, but both he and Zhaavi rose in the ranks - her to the rank of Centurion and him to the rank of Optio - by the time Doma fell and their unit was recalled back to Garlemald with their leader.(The next part has been redacted due to spoilers. To see the redacted information please see the note below.)Now free, and unable to return home due to his tribe's rigid stance on leaving the Wood, Reyr has begun to explore the world as a free man. Along his travels, he heard word that one of his sisters, Rhjn, was out in the world as well and so he pursued her and after a heartfelt reunion, was offered a job at the brothel she ran with her mate, soon to be wife, and their dear friend. Reyr doesn't know what the future holds but he is happy to find stability while he figures it out what to do with his life.

☙ A Deeper Look... ❧

"Courage is not the absence of fear, it is the triumph over it."

ᵵ Personality ᵵ

While Reyr can certainly be charming, suave and a bit of a debonair, with a quick smile and a laugh to tingle the senses on the surface, Reyr is actually quite a serious man. Deep down, he is a fairly surly, broody, grumpy sort of man who finds true pleasure in only a very few things. He is also quite a private man and if one is lucky enough to get beneath his walls, they would find a man who has seen much, felt plenty and experience more than his fair share of trauma.Fire and ice are a great way to describe this man. One moment he will be laughing, charming and naturally seductive and the next he can be cold as ice, seemingly detached emotionally - though he is hardly cruel.In fact, Reyr is one of the kindest souls you will probably ever meet, in truth.

ᵵ Appearance ᵵ

In prime physical condition from over a hundred and sixty years of being a warrior in some form or another, Reyr Tahno is a body of tanned hard muscle rippling under smooth skin. Violet hair with black tips is almost always either braided along the side of his neck with wisps about his face or is pulled back in a half-ponytail with various braids and bangs around his face. Magenta eyes, modified with an almost magitek element deep in the iris, look out from dark, heavy black lashes and accent the naturally darker red lips that cover sharp feral-like fangs - a rarity among his people.Tattoos:
Six black dots on his forehead (that glow when he uses aether).Piercings:
Ears (both), Nipples (both, barbells), Navel (vertical barbell)Always-Wears Jewelry:
A vine bracelet with ornate silver clasp (a gift from his sisters before he left for the male village).

"And amidst deepest despair...light everlasting."

Warning: Post-SHB Spoilers Included!

...picking up where we left off...The XIIth Legion, after their defeat in Doma to the Warrior of Light and the Eastern Alliance, were recalled to Ala Mhigo and then, with the death of Lord Zenos, to Garlemald itself. They fought in the Battle of Ghimlyt Dark but always they returned to Garlemald. It wasn't long after their return that dissention and chaos began to stir among the populace of Garlemald - the military and political powers especially.With the assassination of Emperor Varis, however, those stirrings erupted into an inferno of civil war. It was not long after that, with the great shaking roar that poured through-out the land, that Reyr's memories disappear - only the vaguest recollection of a driving desire to serve Garlemald at all costs. He had no sense of self or personal will. He was a puppet, nothing more.The next thing he knew he was 'waking up' on a twice battle-torn field of Carteneau with a Scion of the Seventh Dawn, a small elezen girl, and a flying porxie hovering over his head. Gone was the driving desire for all things Garlemald, gone was the voice in his head directing him to do its bidding. The shackles on his mind, his body...his soul...were gone.Still, he was Garlean, and these were savages. He'd heard how horrible they were since his capture from the Wood and, before then...well...they had to be quite horrible to be so banned from Tahno and Heilagur territory in the Wood, didn't they? All Humes were savages. So, he took the first chance he got and ran away before they could take him as a prisoner of war.He escaped and wandered, weak and broken from his experience being Tempered, and wounded from the battle he didn't remember fighting. It was in the wooded boughs of the Black Shroud he finally collapsed. Days later he woke in a small, secluded hut deep in the Shroud being cared for by a small mi'qote who had cared for his wounds. It was a couple more weeks before he was able to function again and he insisted on remaining a couple weeks more after his recovery to assist the mi'qote around their hut to repay them for their kindness, having nothing else to give. When they parted, they parted friends and he made his way into Gridania proper, devoid of his Garlean armor and dressed in more fitting clothing - though he still carried with him his treasured gunblade, a gift to him from his friend Zhaavi a long time ago, back in Doma....return to the original background for a brief continuation of his story...
