||Current Lifepath: Path of the Leader

Alignment
He considers himself to be a good person. He’ll protect the innocent whenever possible, however, the resurrection of The Great Hyne is his top priority, and he’d throw a billion innocent lives away in an instant if his god willed it.
Home Continent:
Esthar
Personality:
A devout man with a few screws loose. His belief in his god and black and white way of looking at things often leaves him blind to alternative paths. Alternatively, he is determined to see connections where there are none, believing that Hyne is guiding his path, and that there is no such thing as coincidence. He acts very logically, and won’t do anything without putting a good bit of thought into it first. However, at the same time, his logic is somewhat faulty. So, despite a well collected demeanor, his actions are somewhat unpredictable at times.
Appearance:
Standing at 5’10”, and being slightly athletically built, Lorenzo’s looks are rather plain. He has brown hair, short in the back, long on top, and parted in such a way that it falls over one of his green eyes. He would be just another face in the crowd, if not for a few key features that cause him to stand out. The first, and by far, the most conspicuous thing about his appearance is that he has no left arm. There is no scar tissue, or markings whatsoever, no indication at all as to what may have happened to it. It is as though his arm just vanished about two inches above where the elbow should be. Lorenzo’s clothing consists of a long brown trench coat. Formerly, this coat was sleeveless, but a long sleeve has been sewn onto the left side, to hide the missing arm. He has armor plates that extend down, out, and back from his shoulders, looking like large fins, or small wings, and similar armor plates over his single elbow. Beneath the coat, he wears brown slacks, and vest, looking almost business-like. Except whatever professional appearance he may have had is ruined by a padded shirt made in a quilted pattern underneath this vest. He also wears a medallion in the shape of some religious symbol.
Equipment:
--3 Potions
--1 Ether
--1 Phoenix Down
--1 Antidote
--1 Echo Herb
--First Sorceress Knight's Journal
--Professor Gast's Research Notes
--4030 Gil
--Map of Gaia
--Photograph of Cid and Edea Kramer
--Ouroborus Token
Weapon:
--Gungnir (Level 3 Weapon; +200 Physical Damage, +100 Magical Damage)
--Weapon Effect: Summon Odin – At the beginning of battle, Lorenzo rolls the dice labeled “Summon/Instant Death”. If the roll succeeds, the entire enemy party is instantly killed.

History:
He was seven when it happened. The mighty Adel, the malevolent leader of his home country, had sent soldiers, demanding that his sister be left in Adel's custody. No one knew why Adel was suddenly so interested in young girls, but considering the pure evil she had wrought upon their land up until now, it was obvious that whatever her reasons were, they couldn't be good. His parents refused to cooperate, and even fought back, killing the guards, and causing Adel to come in person. What happened next would change his life forever. It was swift. It was shocking, traumatizing even.... and then it was over. The image of Adel, the sight of Adel's full powers, forever etched into his mind.
He spent many years studying the history of sorceresses, and the nature of their powers. He learned the legend of Hyne and discovered that sorceresses must pass on their powers upon their death, thus making it impossible to simple destroy a sorceress. He made several conclusions and assumptions during his research. He is currently on a quest with the ultimate goal of killing a great sorceress. His reason for doing this go further than a mere predigest against Sorceresses, although his exact motives are known only to him.
RP sample:
Lorenzo closed the book with a loud snap. Could it be? A nation that has shun all forms of modern technology, and yet somehow still remained among the worlds greatest powers? There was only one possible explanation. Magic. And if this place, this "Spira" was indeed governed by magic, than it may be just the place to start the search... yes, he would go to Spira, and he would learn what he could about their magic. Hopefully he'd get the answers he sought.
If not in Spira, then Midgar also seemed promising. Their "materia" technology seemed to be rudimentary at best, but it was possible that the magic of the materia could serve as a stepping stone to what Lorenzo was really looking for.
If both of those plans proved fruitless, then he'd have no other choice but to go to Galbadia and attempt to learn what he could from this new sorceress that had appeared. This Blue person. But that would prove much to dangerous at this point. He needed to bide his time, and only go to Galbadia when he was ready, or as a last resort.
No, he shouldn't even be thinking about this right now... he had to focus. One step at a time. Spira. A continent supposedly governed by magic and religion. He would find a Spiran magic expert. He would find answers. He would find power. Then, and only then, would he go to find a Sorceress.

| This bio is mostly copy and pasted from previous bios, with a few updates. For one thing, perks. He had the following perks in JE2, that don't seem to carry over here.
--Keybreaker
--Veteran
--Hero of Bevelle
--Magic Mastery Tier 3
--Blades
--Parkour
--Alignment Good Tier 1
This bio also does not explain how Lorenzo managed to find his way to the new Gaia. I am unsure if I should explain that through roleplay, or perhaps a journal-like post or something. And I suppose the biggest change between Lorenzo's old bio and this one is that he is still missing an arm. | |

“Disarmed and De-armed”
--Waking in this new world so very much like his own, Lorenzo finds himself stranded outside of a deserted and run-down orphanage. It doesn't take him long, however, to learn that this Orphanage was, at one time, inhabited by a Sorceress. At least that was one thing this world had in common with the last. Taking an old photograph from within the orphanage, along with a tattered old map of this world, he left, with the intention of finding civilization, and hopefully, finding the woman in the picture. While wandering the wilderness seeking transport, however, he is forced to take refuge from a storm inside of a mysterious tower. This tower turns out to be the lost Centran Ruins, home to the summon-monster Odin. After facing a series of riddles, Lorenzo appeased Odin, and the summoning granted him its power, in the form of a magical spear, as well as a fancy prosthetic arm to replace the one that was lost during his adventures on the previous Gaia. With the threat of Odin removed, the ruins made for a perfect shelter from the storm...
