----------------------------------------------------To tell the tale as he would, the elder Xaela was born a Murr, an isolationist tribe hailing from the distant skies above, sitting upon a cluster of sky islands in which they call their home. They were a peaceful, harmonious tribe with a devotion to their faith as zealous as their hatred towards conflict. As the descendants of peace-seeking refugees of the countless wars waged by the Au Ra, peace was that in which they held most dear. Such was his home, which he loved so dearly.The last he had seen of this home was over 40 summers ago, after an exodus from the heavens which bore him towards the earth, an exile never to even lay eyes upon his home ever again.All for a promise he had wanted to keep with every fiber of his being.After a brief respite with a band of hunters upon the outskirts of Dravania, Soliam had since journeyed across the star, seeking a place within this world which he knew so little about.Throughout said journey, Soliam Murr had learned much indeed.Of mountains jutting from the earth and nearly touching the skies.Of oceans so vast in it's expanse as it they are in their depths.Of cities breathtaking in their grandeur, a fountain of life for one whom had only seen but a fraction of their number.In time within those 40 summers, the world would become much more familiar as he partook of it's affairs, learned of it's people and cultures, fought and struggled in it's wars. Even playing witness to a Calamity which would shake the very foundation of this star.Many lessons were learned in those years. Many loved ones found and lost. Many scars etched into his body and soul... more than any should have.Even so, the once young Murr had aged into an elder. Tempered by his experiences, yet still retaining that spirit and want for adventure. Nowadays, he's come to be surrounded by those loved ones still remaining, enjoying all that life has to offer, and desiring to share those sights that could never leave his soul.

Explorer - An experienced outdoorsman and wanderer, Soliam to this day has a habit of finding himself in the middle of nowhere. Whether it'd be mountains, jungles, or even the odd desert or snowscape, one may very well bump into the old man in a retreat from civilization. Just the same, this skillset is also up for hire, should one be so inclined to trek into the wildlands of Eorzea, one could go no wrong with a guide at their side.Veteran - Despite hailing from a tribe whom abhors the very concept of conflict, Soliam has instead found himself rather enamored with it, having partaken in several campaigns throughout Eorzean history of various scale. The list includes the Ala Mhigan Civil War, it's subsequent occupation, the invasion of Garlemald unto Eorzea, and the tail end of the Bozjan Resistance to name but a few. Outside of war, combat is as much a vice for him as any other. Even to this day his age has nary slowed him down against his younger peers. Action speaks louder than words many say, and there are few better ways to learn of the old man than to challenge him to a duel.Warfarer - A self proclaimed "Warfarer", the elder is a veritable master of a myriad weapons and martial arts, having gathered the lessons of war and battle throughout his life and combining them to form one single vocation. Though he does not go so far as to call it a "Job" formally, he finds himself yearning to part this knowledge unto someone worthy. Experience is a valuable thing after all.Fight-Fanatic - Even with bones oft to ache 'pon strenuous exertion, the elder is never one to turn down a challenge or two. He's fought many a duel and is no stranger to the prizes of a tourney here and there. If you're the type to size one up and throw done your glove, you'll find the elder would reciprocate in kind.Multifaceted - A man of the people; The elder Xaela has had the honest pleasure of befriending and connecting with souls of various walks of life. To this day, he has maintained many such friendships with peoples old and young and to those who have been lost he always makes ample time to pay his respects at a given opportunity. If you're looking for connections into other circles, seeking a means to make acquaintances to a certain discipline, or even find someone who may know of an old master or two, you may just be surprised how well travelled the Murr really is.Flexibile - As it stands, Soliam has a fairly flexible history which can work around anyone who wishes to interact with him, and the man himself is just as malleable to suit another character's needs. If you have any other such ideas that you would like to work with Sol, send me a tell and we can get to discussing!
