Character Backstory

Class Backstory


Khei is versed in a few different weapons but only wields two with high proficiency. Growing up, she learned how to wield a katana like his mother, as was mentioned previously. But after leaving Kugane, she did not have the heart to wield such a blade anymore. Instead, they chose to wield the same weapon her mom wielded on her many adventures across Eorzea: a bow. They were no master of it by any means, but he wielded it enough to defeat Gaius and his Ultimate Weapon.She did not really think much on what he wielded until they heard a voice in a particular alleyway in the streets of Ishgard. This voice leading her to a certain man slumped against a wall, greatsword laying next to him. This was where their journey to becoming a Dark Knight began. If you know the Dark Knight questline then I won't get too into it, but I will comment on how it personally ties with Khei's story. Khei is a very insecure and independent person, given how controlled she was by their mother and how people treated him growing up.Fray, subsequently Esteem, knew this too well and drew this out of her while testing him before revealing their true form. Fray and subsequently Myste continued to test Khei even after taking the mantle of the Dark Knight. Khei struggled, especially after the death of Haurchefant, whom she had fallen in love with as her first and only love (HW spoilers). There were times when he didn't think she could do it, carry the weight of it all. But Myste and Fray pushed them to the brink, to that edge, until he grit her teeth and bared all the pain, the sorrow, the loss, and the responsibility of the Warrior of Light. Khei often jokes that he "bleeds black instead of red" because of how devoted they are to her Dark Knight class.When Khei fully accepted their role as a Dark Knight, accepted Esteem, accepted who she truly is, their eyes changed. His right eye turned white, the same white that Fray's eyes were. There are times when she can be seen talking with Esteem, who still bears the appearance of Khei's original Au Ra self. When this happens, as well as when he summons Esteem into battle, the white in their right eye changes back to the original blue to match her left until Esteems joins back together with Khei.Dark Knight was all Khei knew for most of her travels from there. He did not think much on wielding anything other than their trusty greatswords, especially Deathbringer itself. However, as time went on and he lost more and more friends, loved ones, and people all around them, she began to feel helpless. Even though he does her best to protect everyone, to be the shield against Eorzea's worst enemies, people still fall all around them. What hit the nail in the coffin, much to the Scions' surprise, was Zenos' death. Not when he slit his own throat, but when he died by Khei's own hands (EW spoilers, tw sui ment). Much to most of the Scions' dismay and confusion, Khei cared a lot about him, probably even loved him if you asked her. After recovering from his injuries, Khei actually went missing for about 6 months after the Scions' official disbandment (EW spoilers).When Khei came back out of hiding, he was found wielding a Scythe and speaking with voidsent. She was trying to reconnect with him in the only way he knew and could not find in himself to grieve in any other way, as she no longer muster tears that he had already shed before. However, she did not continue wielding the scythe when they returned to the Scions. Instead, he turned to Y'shtola to help teach him how to wield aether. Khei has always struggled with wielding aether for magicks and often expends it in large bursts when on the field with greatsword in hand. But he was determined to learn healing magicks so that he could be more helpful and save more people, no matter what anyone said. Y'shtola helped as best as she could but even she had not wielded such magicks in some years and instead insisted he went to Gridania to learn at the Conjurer's Guild there.So they did, and after committing herself to studying and training and failed attempts, he began to learn how to control their aether and heal those around him. But he did not stop there, he even went to libraries to study books on healing and white magic (though they mainly struggled with reading at all). She worked hard for a year until he had thoroughly understood white magic and could freely and effortlessly wield their own aether. There are still times when she expends too much aether when taking up the role of a White Mage, but he is determined to one day master the arts of white magic and controlling their aether.Dark Knight will forever be the main job Khei wields, a greatsword feeling most comfortable and natural in their hands when on the field. But she has started using healing magic as a White Mage more and more frequently. He often asks which would be most helpful when she knows that they will be in combat with his comrades. However, that does not mean that she's not capable of using both. There are times when they will lend some healing even when heading the team as a Dark Knight, pressing a hand to his comrade and using white magics to heal. His comrades have commented that they have seen small, aetherial white lillies sprout from her hand while he heals but Khei has never seen such a thing (especially since he tends to close their eyes to concentrate on healing).


Endwalker Spoiler Lore


do not read this section if you have not completed Endwalker MSQ yet, iykyk


Khei is the Source shard of Atlas, the seat of the Azem in the Convocation of Fourteen. Atlas was a free-spirit, coming and going as they pleased with little interest in staying in one place. They would constantly get harassed by Hades and other Convocation members for never following proper protocol and not doing their required paperwork, but they cared very little about it all. In fact, they never even wanted to take up the seat of Azem in the first place. The only reason Atlas accepted it in the first place was because Venat had directly asked them to.

They loved traveling and exploring nearby stars and different biomes, seeing all matter of life and environments. Though they constantly were drawing up everything they saw and explored, they almost never submitted concepts to the Convocation. It wasn't because they never had new ideas for the world, but instead wanted to see it grow and change before their own eyes.

They of course wore the normal grey robes the Convocation wore, however most of the time they can be seen with their sleeves rolled up and tied with their forearms exposed with tons of notes and scribbles covering their arms. They also always have their large book that has leather straps connected to it to transform it into a bag slung over their shoulders with a small pouch of utensils attached to the book.

Their hair is black, long and messy with the front pieces of their hair tied back and out of their face. Sometimes they tied back all of their hair when they are out on the field doing more intense work. Their eyes are a glowing yellow-orange, like the sun was held in their eyes to gaze upon all. Their skin is a tan brown with freckles splattered all over their face and body. They are the second shortest member of the Convocation, only beating out Elidibus by a few inches, with a slim-fit body. Though they don't particularly enjoy taking up arms, when necessary they can be seen wielding a large axe, with it's blade in the shape of a crescent moon and holding a similar glow to that of their eyes. In fact, some say that when Atlas is locked in combat, both their eyes and axe glow brighter.

Frequently Asked Questions

What made you change back to playing an Au Ra?

For those that do not know, I played as a Male Raen Au Ra from ARR - EW. During the post patches of EW I decided to fantasia into a Male Seeker of the Sun Miqo'te because I really like their emotes and design. So, I ended up making a Miqo'ra, or a mix of Miqo'te and Au Ra, because I could not part with not being at least part lizard. I played as my Male Miqo through the EW post patches through DT. Then, not long after completing DT MSQ my fiance and I decided to fantasia into our female counterparts, for me a Female Seeker of the Sun Miqo'te, because we were, frankly, jealous of all the cute glam pieces the female models get. So, I played as a Female Miqo'te from the end of DT to 7.2. During this whole time I did miss my Male Au Ra design, he was very cute and charming to me and most of all I missed being a lizard. Though wearing earrings kinda suck on Au Ra, I am a lizard at heart. By 7.2 I really was missing playing as an Au Ra, so I decided to fantasia once more to a Female Au Ra cause I still loved the female glams too much to go back to male models. So, I ended up with the latest design for my beloved Khei. Even though I was really in love with the last Miqo design a lot, his newest design is my favorite of them all.

Why did you change your character's name from Keiho Buhen to Khei Lynn?

When I first started playing FFXIV, I had decided that I wanted a lore accurate name for my character. So, since my character was a Raen Au Ra at the time, I did some research to find a Japanese name that would fit the idea I had for this character, ultimately coming to Keiho Buhen. Even after I fantasia'd into a Male Miqo'te I kept the name, and eventually added an apostrophe to her first name (Kei'ho) to blend the name traditions of the Miqo and Au Ra. However, when my fiance and I fanta'ed this last time, I decided it was time to change her name entirely. I wanted to keep it similar enough to their previous name but still make it ultimately different and unique. I often nicknamed my WoL Kei because it was short for Keiho and was cute, so I decided to stick with that and just change the spelling a bit to ultimately land on Khei. I had told my fiance I wanted to take his WoL's last name and boom: Khei Lynn was reborn!

Are you a part of a static or looking for one?

Yes! I'm a part of a static that includes some of my FC members and friends that is mostly casual (doing old EX's and Savages unsynced)! My fiance and I are open to joining statics for any kind of content so if you are recruiting for any tanks or healers we would be more than happy to join!
