☙ 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.
