[@Krinos Solstice] One of my first questions is the nature of the conflict. When reading over the OP, I can see the mention of an RSG and the imperial forces being in a state of cival war. However, I don't see any mention of the RSG's origins. From reading, it looks like they possibly come from Tormin, but they could very well be rebels from Avenase. Just getting some clarification of what exactly my characters origin would be (for example, a Avenese soldier/officer that defected to the RSG in order to escape the oppression of the tyrant). Now on that topic, I'm ok with my character being born in Tormin as a lancer. That being said, would the culture be conducive to dragoon-esque training? Not to say the character would start out as a dragoon, but with it being my favorite class in nearly rendition of FF- it's something I'd like to end up at (or near). As a side note, I'm getting a very heavy Ramza vibe from the way the protagonist is explained in the OP.
