Character

Born to a humble family in a humble village of Saint Andrew’s field, one of the many small villages surrounding Gridania, a Seeker of the Sun Miqo'te, Tyr "Slay" Slaybrood aspired to do what is good, right and fair. His village was no stranger to raids from bandits. As such, he was quick to take arms to defend his village. Whenever Merchants or Adventurers passed by their village, he would often talk to them and ask to tell stories of their travels. He was enamored by those tales and yearned to go on an adventure himself. Yet, at the same time, he was content with what he had in his tiny village.

At times, he would drink a Potion that would change him into a Plainsfolk Lalafell, one of the races that inhabits Eorzea, to play tricks and pranks; a bit of a Trickster himself, such is a common trait among the playful, Cat-like race Miqo'te.

One afternoon, Slay was hunting game for his family’s supper. Unbeknownst to him, this was when the war in Carteneau took place. He saw that the sky was unusually bright that afternoon despite the sun setting. He then climbed up the tallest tree he could find. There, he witness the Primal Bahamut break free from his prison and set the landscape ablaze. Mesmerized by the spectacle, he failed to notice the debris crashing down from the sky into his village. In that instant, he lost everything. Shocked beyond belief, he rushed to his humble village, only to find nothing but a fiery inferno.

Just like the other refugees, Slay found himself entering one of the City-States. He fled to Gridania, hoping to start anew despite the tragic loss he that befell him just a few days ago. It was here where he first met his bride-to-be, unbeknownst to him at that time, a fellow Seeker of the Sun Miqo'te named “Kitty”. Traumatized by what has transpired in his life, he swore to make himself stronger and more capable. He became an adventurer and journeyed Eorzea. He took up the myriad arts of that the world has to offer. A jack of all trades, but a master of none.

Knowing that he may cause problems for others, he changed his last name to Tyr "Slay" Nightwing and travels as a Lalafell, revealing his true form only when his wife Kitty is around.
