Biography

PRE-EORZEA - CHILDHOOD
[REDACTED] is born in a small town by the beachside. His mother was a waitress at a local tavern. His father, a mercenary. At 11 summers old, he met a lovely girl who he developed a crush for. However, the girl one day disappeared without a trace. Angered, the girls' parents forced [REDACTED]'s father to search for her. He never returned and was presumed dead. The disappearance of two loved ones put a strain between [REDACTED] and his mother. At the age of 16, he left his mother's home and took to adventuring with nothing but a knife and the clothes on his back. The early adventuring years were difficult for [REDACTED], most days having no money to afford an inn or even food, having to live a nomadic life and never staying in one place.
PRE-EORZEA - GENERAL SOLITAIRE
After 4 years of living as a nomadic adventurer, [REDACTED] joined the private militia of Panetake. When joining the squadron, a person must issue themselves a codename to protect their identities. [REDACTED] choose his codename as SOLITAIRE. Throughout his time in the army, he would join several of their tournaments for bragging right and self-improvement. Although he never won, his battle prowess and style got the attention of several important members. However, sincerity turned to hate when Panetake's Head General, a man named BLITZ witch-hunted a woman to her death and broken ties with the Kingdom of Furil due to their worshipping methods to the goddess, Cordelia. Upset that BLITZ's action would ruin public image to the neighboring nations, SOLITAIRE and a few key members put the Head General on trial and marked him a traitor to Panetake. In order to keep the peace, [REDACTED] made the controversial decision of appointing himself as General, despite his poor ranking within the militia.
As General, SOLITAIRE placed a new regime aimed to increase the army's size and public perception. He mended ties to the Kingdom of Furil as well as assist the star athletes of Sneloper and reach out to the Easterners of the Modoki Isles...with limited success. Over time, the work of maintaining the nation of Panetake put a strain on [REDACTED]'s physical and mental well-being. One day, a stranger claiming to be from Eorzea suggested to the General to return to this roots as an adventurer. The stranger also made a suggestion to explore a nearby cavern to give [REDACTED] the adventuring sensation he has long forgotten. After SOLITAIRE reached the depths of the cavern, he discovered 2 rare artifacts. The Emerald Gem and the Violet Gem. He took both before the cave started to collapse around him. The General kept the location of both gems a secret to everyone. At the start of a new year, SOLITAIRE announced his resignation and departure. While many members were disappointed over this decision, they agreed it was the best course of action and that they themselves will carry the torch of a now thriving nation. Before heading to the Eorzean Stranger, SOLITAIRE stopped by to visit BERRY, another former Major before she departed to assist the PWA, an alliance aimed to discover the secrets and wonders of the realm located in the center of the 3 largest countries. He gifted her the Violet Gem and requested for her to research the gem and find its true purpose.MAIN SCENARIO
[REDACTED], now going by the name Regnier Soldati heads to Eorzea with nothing more than some adventuring gear, a broadsword and the Emerald Gem. He makes his way to Ul'Dah and signs up for the Adventurer's Guild. While handling the daily tasks of an adventurer, he befriends Draconis Firebane, a Xaelan marauder claiming to be one of many people from the Emigration of Azeroth. Together with Draconis' pet wolf, both joined the Immortal Flames Grand Company and lived their days as honest adventurers. After enough time and experience, both Regnier and Draconis were able to enter the cities of Ishgard, Ala Mhigo, Kugane and the newly rebuilt Doma in the Far East. However, their team would be split when they both enter one of the Source's reflections...the First. Despite peaceful times in the First due to the Warrior of Light's actions, there were still stray sin eaters to contend with and Regnier contended with such a foe. Although he easily dispatched of the sin eater, he was struck and started developing an abundance of aether within his body. Unable to progress any further until his sickness subsided, Regnier resorted to hide the pain by way of alcohol. On one night, however, as he was making his way back to the inn from the Empyreum Residential District, he stumbled upon a homeless Elezen and went to his aid.
However, sincerity turned to deception as the homeless Elezen was the disguise of MALICE, loyal servant to the former General BLITZ and trained assassin. Regnier immediately went on the offensive, but with the light slowly consuming him, his inebriated state and difference in skill proved too much. In a swift strike, MALICE sliced Regnier's left eye and left him for dead. With his body slowly starting to fail, all seemed hopeless until a familiar blue-haired Miqo'te mended his wounds and took him to the chirurgeons of the Firmament. As Regnier awoke from his pain, he quickly realized that his vision is starting to fail him, with a lack of depth perception and the Light blinding his sight. The chirurgeon gravely told him that due to the extensive damage his body has taken over the years, it would be a matter of time before he died. Hopeless to do anything, Regnier, pulled out the Emerald Gem and made a prayer to the goddess, Cordelia. As his prayer went on, his left hand holding the gem started moving closer to his left eye and with no control of his own struck the Emerald Gem into his eye socket. The gem started to pulsate and slowly fade out as his eyesight started to restore and the Light sickness suppressed. Now, the Emerald Gem stood a solid gray color, as if all its radiance drained and in turn, Regnier's left eye shined a sheen emerald color and his energy back to his normal state. Supposedly cured, he returns to the front lines and reunites with Draconis. Both continue their adventuring ways into Sharlayan, Thavnair and even the heart of the Garlean Empire, Garlemald. However, to avoid any suspicion regarding his green left eye, he chooses to keep his black bandana on until he is comfortable with his newfound heterochromia.

Biography (PART II)

POST FINAL DAYS
After the Warrior of Light restored peace throughout the Source by averting the Final Days, Regnier decided to settle down from adventuring and make Eorzea into a proper home. With enough gil earned from all of his duties, he purchased an apartment in Ingleside, located in Empyreum. Things could not be more calmer, until Regnier started to hear a voice in his head. As the voice within grew louder, his attempts to silence it grew to the point of drinking a strange concoction. That potion resulted in a makeshift Fantasia, temporarily turning Regnier into a woman. However, in the month that he was transformed, he remembers none of it. Turns out the voice that once occupied his headspace was the soul of one female trapped inside the Emerald Gem. When Regnier questioned this girl, she only recalls the events that transpired in the month he doesn't remember. She can't remember her nameday, nationality, name and even her own appearance. She insists on being called Regnier despite him also sharing the same name. He settles on calling her Reg until her memory starts to return. Now, both Regniers, possesing of one body try to live out their newfound lives. Regnier♂ is insistent on finding the memories of his recent soulmate without drawing much attention. Regnier♀, on the other hand prefers to create new memories, involving herself within the underground venue scene. That in turn causes rifts between both as to how far their plans can go...and with only one body to share.
SOUL SEPARATION
Regnier♂ could not continue to live his life, sharing it with a woman with an identical name and a near identical look, who caused trouble for him. He was heavily involved in the venue scene by mere association; a scene he wanted out of. He longed to return home, to go back and reclaim his role as General and continue the regime his younger self couldn't advance. Unfortunately for Regnier♂, he couldn't go home. Despite attempting to cut ties with everyone, Reg♀ mended those ties and kept her friends close. After a heart-to-heart between both Regniers, they agreed that separating their souls was the best course of action for them. The plan now was simple. Find a way to safely extract a soul from a body and implant it into a simulacrum. Regnier♂ was tasked with obtaining a vessel. His strategy was to seek the aid of Thavnarian alchemists. After paying a hefty price and a few errands, the alchemists created an adequate simulacrum, enough for Regnier♂ himself to send his soul towards the vessel instead of her. After Reg♀ discovered a way to extract a soul, the operation was ready to begin. The Regniers headed to Castrum Abania, a former Garlean base to perform the soul separation. The procedure required a large and concentrated quantity of aether. Luckily for them, the Emerald Gem possesses a vast, yet questionable amount of aether stored. With that, the operation was a success! Regnier♂ has his soul transferred to the vessel whereas Regnier♀ keeps the original body. With this hurdle overcome, both were free to seek out their respective paths. For him, it was to return home and take his Eorzean experiences to lead the militia turned nation into a prosperous one.
ETERNAL PRESENT
The nation, however, had no longer need of the General. As he was attending the eternal bonding of a close friend, he received the call of one of his Majors, Jonn Laforque. He informs him that his old rival, former General BLITZ has escaped prison and is in possession of the Indigo Gem. Laforque states that BLITZ is using the gem to ascend back up the political ladder to reclaim his title of Head General. A title that can only be lost through combat. A title that SOLITAIRE never properly earned. Disheartened to hear the news, Regnier informs Jonn that he will not return home unless everyone else within the high-ranking majors stop his ascension. He warns them that everything they worked so hard to earn will be lost if BLITZ is Head General again. And with that, Regnier Soldati, the former SOLITAIRE cannot return home.
