It ends *now*.

Renquist was later secretly tasked with recovering the Ul'dahn crown which had been stolen.

Upon defeating the mysterious mage behind the theft - with Thancred's help - Renquist was able to meet the Sultana, Nanamo Ul Namo, and invited to a banquet.

The youngest, Cocobusi, lacked the aetheric capacity of his 5 brothers to wield magics, but still insisted on becoming a Thaumaturge.

Tasked with destroying a cursed artifact, Mormo's urn, Cocobusi appeared and broke the seal before destroying it, the repercussions for doing so as yet unknown...

Renquist continued his training with the Thaumaturges' Guild, run by a handful of Lalafell brothers.

One thing he learned is that "magic" is more often called "aether", and he had as much a knack for it here as in his old world, his studies progressing rather quickly.

A golem suddenly rose from the nearby rubble, and the Brass Blades scattered.

After destroying the rock monster, the man who helped protect Lady Lilira - Thancred - appeared, disappointed that he missed the excitement.

And then Renquist's mind was flooded with visions again... of Thancred's past?

Renquist slowly built a reputation amongst the common folk, getting increasingly bigger jobs, yet he still hadn't gotten any leads on finding his friends.

On a protection job, he got a glimpse of how corrupt some of the local law enforcement, The Brass Blades, can be.

Renquist found himself floating in a void, an enormous crystal in front of him. A disembodied voice told him to seek out the Crystals of Light in order to protect the world.

"Again...?" he thought to himself.

He awoke as the sun began to crest the horizon, and they helped the Lady to safety.

A strange creature (which he would later find out was called a voidsent) appeared, and he and someone else looking for Lilira defeated it.

While the man tended to the Lady, Renquist spotted a crystal near the voidsent's body, and strange visions flooded his mind.

As he did in his previous world, Renquist set out as an adventurer. His hope was that maybe in making a name for himself, his friends might hear about him and they could meet up once more.

Gaining the trust of a former soldier, Papashan, he was tasked with finding a missing noblewoman, Lady Lilira.

Upon arriving in Ul'dah, Renquist set about trying to find his friends (spoiler: he didn't), as well as getting himself established in this new world.

Magic was the same, yet also... different. He signed up with the Thaumaturges' Guild in order to relearn the basics.

Renquist awoke in a desert, bereft of his armor, weapons, and other gear... and his Red Mage magics.

A merchant came upon him, offering a ride to the nearby city-state Ul'dah, in the Thanalan Desert - both places he had never heard of before.

Who are these twins keeping silent on the carriage...?

Upon defeating Chaos 1000 years in the past, darkness fell upon all of the warriors, and Renquist, sadly, never saw any of them again.

*Funny meme image attached of what their fight might have looked like.

Renquist's story begins in the world we call Gaia, the realm from #FF1.
Without giving a full biography, he became a #WarriorOfLight in that world and along with his older brother and many friends, helped take down Chaos.

I feel like I did a pretty good job. What do you think?
