Rafi Yascaret



 Rafi's Refs!  •Personality•

Rafi Yascaret is first and foremost a kind, intelligent soul with a deep reverence for all life. This shines especially bright off of the battlefield. In the Cities, she spends her time enjoying the sights and people to the fullest. Delving into the Culture of the various regions empowers her, making her all the more passionate in defending these people, before other forces would wipe them out. Despite her good natured outlook and attitude, she retains a calm and collected attitude on the battlefield, and she has ensured painstakingly that this is the case. Usually wearing heavier armor, and a bladed weapon, she has mastered the art of using both to her advantage without sacrificing the speed and grace she was naturally gifted with as a Viera.



•History•

Born over seven and a Half Decades ago in the Village of Yascaret, Rafi was a child of the forests. The first half of her life was that of the typical Viera, simple, but fulfilling. Becoming adept in the ways of hunting, and even mastering Chakrams and the way of the Dancer. She never left the Golmore jungle, nor would she have, were it not for the Legions of Garlemald that pushed into, and subjected the very lands the Viera held sacred. Still in her youth, and powerless against their might, Rafi could only watch as the Garleans occupied her homeland. She felt a deep rage within her grow during these years. Watching her kin either slain, subjugated, conscripted into the Legions of Garlemald, to oppress their own people. But worst of all, were those who stood by and did nothing at all. Early on, Rafi was conscriped into the Garlean's legions, and after showing significant promise, she even found her way to the very capitol. Attending one of their Academies, she acquired knowledge about Tactics of War, Garlean History, a understanding of Magitek, and a variety of other topics. Her dedication to learning, and acquiring as many resources as were available to her eventually brought her through the ranks of the Garlean Military, finding herself to land in the position of Optio, dubbed Rafi pyr Yascaret, assistant to a Centurion. She participated in Many fronts, but eventually the wear of war began to take its toll on her. The cruelty of the Empire began to bother her, as they became less about world conquest, and more focused on Domination and subjugation of the land's they inhabited. In a particularly climatic battle, she found herself at odds with the very Centurion she served. The details of their skirmish were not clear, only that she emerged with his visor donned upon her head, and fled the Garlean forces. Eventually the fight has led her off of Othard, and to Eorzea, where the fighting against Garlemald is at a head, and she has lent her service to that of their people against the Empire, still donning that Centurion's visor upon her head. Now that sometime has past, and old wounds have healed, and old enemies quelled, she finds herself with naught to do but adventure. With all the skills and knowledge she had acquired over her life, she knows no better way to serve people, than to be free to meet them out in the world itself!
