Dax Endal

Dax Endal – The Wayward WandererTo Dax, he never quite understood how a no-contact policy with the outside world could ever lead to long lasting peace. On the long patrols male Veena are often sent on, he would always find time to sneak off to watch the people of Rabanastre go about their daily lives. Even from outside the walls he could see happy families laughing and living together. Such a life was only a fantasy for a solitary Veena.It was still common belief amongst the clan that the Viera are peerless fighters, but after seeing the splendour of Rabanastre in person cast that belief in doubt. Dax would sometimes confide his opinions to his mentor, though he knew even his thoughts could be considered violations of the Green Word. He knew his mentor only wanted the best for him, but they could never see eye to eye on the outside world and he would always be reprimanded and discouraged by him.Dax’s values were put to the test when he discovered a traveling Miqo'te refugee fleeing from the Garlean invasion into Veena territory. He was the only one on patrol in that area and he knew his true duty was not to obey the Green Word and turn them away, but to offer her refuge. Leading her to a nearby Veena outpost, he made sure that her needs were taken care of.He learned from girl, which he now knew to be a traveling merchant from a city called Limsa Lominsa, that Rabanastre was falling to the Garlean forces, and she was seeking shelter from the Garleans until she could find a way to escape. Dax believed that his meeting with this merchanr was fate, and from that moment he decided he would do whatever he could to help herfind safety.Dax sought his mentor to explain to him how the people outside of their forests were suffering and the good that the Veena could do for them, the young man convinced that surely the problem had simply caused by his people not being able to see the Rabanastrans suffering. What followed was a what had become the norm whenever they discussed this topic, raised voices and neither side able to understand the other’s position. However, this time something changed, perhaps it was having seen the pained faces of the family earlier, or perhaps Dax had realised that no matter how impassioned he was and no matter how he argued his people would not see reason.Without another thought the young Viera turned his back on his people, if they were not going to help then he would do everything he could on his own. Saying farewell to what had been his entire world and leading the struggling refugee to safety, taking her all the way to their home city, hoping that it would provide him a new path to follow.After reaching Limsa the young man was at a loss for what to do, he had turned his back on his past life and now found himself in a new and alien world. While he was unaware of this new land that he had found himself in he did know one thing, helping that girl was right. Empowered by that thought he began his travels doing what he was best at, helping people in need and combating those who steal the other’s freedom.

Hey, thanks to anyone reading this section. First thing that I feel is important to bring up, I'm new to RP in FFXIV, although I have years of experience roleplaying through tabletop games and on other programs.I'm used to writing in 1st person. I'm still getting used to RP in 3rd person.If I am in a club then assume that I am in character, unless you say request to speak OOC.No lalafel, sorry but it's best to just avoid any comments.
