Biography
Raum has no recollection of his biological parents.As a child, as with most viera, Raum was assumed to be female and was so raised. His adoptive father gave him the name Kara, meaning "dark" in Dalmascan -- sometimes used as a byname by Dalmascan officials, figuratively meaning "courageous."Kara's father, a Bangaa named Dagan living in Rabanastre, had been a knight of the royal family of Dalmasca, and as such, Kara enjoyed a childhood free of material want in the company of Dalmascan noble families. He received some of the best education in the country for his entire adolescence.By the time of Garlemald's conquest of Dalmasca, Dagan had retired from duty only a few years prior. Under the Empire Dagan was quickly put to work along with many other Bangaa indiscriminate of their occupational status to work on construction projects, and died of a heart attack not long after.Kara would then shed his name, and began calling himself Raum by the time he escaped Rabanastre to the port city of Balfonheim. From there, Raum emigrated several times as the Garlean Empire's conquests crept ever closer, before finally settling in the Far Eastern city of Kugane.
OOC
1. IC =/= OOC
2. ERP: Probably not. I work 9 to 5 and as much as I would love to spend three hours writing smut, I just don't have the time for it. I like romance but most likely it is gonna be fade to black.
3. Because of aforementioned time constraints, I prefer Discord or Docs to in-game RP, and the latter would have to be planned a day in advance.
4. I am fine with lore-strict, lore-friendly, lore-bendy, or totally against established lore... Just tell me what you prefer!
