X'cirha is Ishgardian by adoption, so he thinks that if they let in him and Lucia, why not the dragons?
#tailsofheroesHCs
X'cirha knew actual hunger as a kid. He will clear the plate and say thank you.
... Cousins? Is this you?
#ffxiv #gpose #tailsofheroesHCs
Yes, it is, but since Tails of Heroes has several main characters, most of it happens behind the scenes. #tailsofheroesHCs
X'cirha met Hildibrand as kids. Amarie did the pre-Meteor storyline AND the ARR storyline. I still don't know how it'll go eventually but the Dawntrail plot involves X'cirha.
Oh, X'cirha does have a body of steel.
And the eyes of a mole.
And an abysmal mental health.
#tailsofheroesHCs
X'cirha, as a rare case for Seekers of the Sun, is an only child. His father died when he was little and his mother was taken prisoner by Gaius.
He DID make up to it by finding four siblings for himself. #tailsofheroesHCs
(among them, he's the baby - Estinien +11, Amarie +8, G'raha +3, Shayka +1)
X'cirha's favorite fruit is orange. He will still make all the grimaces if he finds a sour one though. #tailsofheroesHCs
#tailsofheroesHCs
THE RED COMET.
"If not friend, why friend shaped?"
Yeah! X'cirha has ADHD! #tailsofheroesHCs
X'cirha is good at dancing... his own way. He basically taught himself. #tailsofheroesHCs
X'cirha would do it for his nephew Louie. #tailsofheroesHCs
#tailsofheroesHCs
Since X'cirha is a Dragoon, Alberic and Estinien have much more of a presence in the plot, Alberic himself being present in the Guillaime quests and actually telling Guillaime "don't fuck with me".
#tailsofheroesHCs
ARR: "I'm Beater Knyght, any jobs?"
2.x: "Name is X'cirha. I'm with the Scions of the Seventh Dawn."
HW: "I'm Ser X'cirha Knyght of the Dragoons"
From SB on: "I'm X'cirha, son of Craigor Knyght."
During EW, to a certain Miqo: "Hi Ma... It's Cirha."
#tailsofheroesHCs there's two teams of adventurers, Atlas Squadron and the Coilbreakers. They're not actually revolving around X'cirha, though, but his co-WoL Amarie used to be in the former and is mentoring the latter. (Also X'cirha's dad and Shayka's parents were in the Atlas Squadron)
X'cirha was born in Saltery, in the Lochs. #tailsofheroesHCs
X'cirha is one of SEVERAL Warriors of Light. In Tails of Heroes, there's even several teams, among which the Atlas Squadron - under Louisoix Leveilleur - and the Coilbreakers - under ALISAIE - are the most famous. X'cirha's team doesn't actually have a name. #tailsofheroesHCs
To be with his family. Really, that is all. #tailsofheroesHCs
And I have a cosplay pic too! #tailsofheroesHCs
As a kid, X'cirha would often be protected by his father's Chocobo and he had been taught to let the bird pick him up (with the beak) and shove him on his back in case danger happened. #tailsofheroesHCs
X'cirha actually came to trust Chocobos more than most people until he met the Scions.
Polydeukes was one of Venat's three errand kiddos... Ahem, assistants. When he was chosen to take Azem's mantle (or, how he says it, the Convocation drew straws) he often involved the other two - his best friend and his brother - in his business. #tailsofheroesHCs
X'cirha's Ancient was named Polydeukes - after one of the brothers in the Dioskouroi/Gemini myth. #tailsofheroesHCs
Some people nicknamed him Poulí, among which his buddy Themistokles. Let's just say that Poulí was more than eager to give him a taste of his own medicine.
Not only X'cirha and Polydeukes have the same gender, they also have the same sexual orientation. (and Emet-Selch actually joked about it when he met X'cirha in Elpis)
#tailsofheroesHCs
If we're talking childhood, oh, the tales I could tell, but if we're talking about grown-up Warrior of Light, X'cirha teamed up with his friend Zepp to dig a Chocobo racing track near Silvertear Lake.
And then he even started singing the Chocobo song as they dug together. #tailsofheroesHCs
#tailsofheroesHCs Wind-up Dioskouros, because Polydeukes... Well.
So, X'cirha and his clothes. #tailsofheroesHCs
He probably looked like this when he arrived in Ul'dah at first, with little gil, an old sword, and a resume of working in Chocobo stables for Godbert Manderville.
Okay, we'll exceed character limits here. #tailsofheroesHCs
X'cirha's first friend EVER was Shayka, his co-WoL. They've known each other since childhood, wrote to each other while apart for 15 yrs, and then met again as adults and worked together for the Scions. (@shiningmomostar.bsky.social's OC)
Well, here goes X'cirha. #tailsofheroesHCs
X'cirha is almost comically obsessed with pizza. He taught the recipe to the Crystarium culinarians and tried to teach it in Alexandria as well. #tailsofheroesHCs
