Background

Toshiyuki was born in a small fishing village in Doma and suffered greatly under the Garlean Occupation. After he was conscripted into the Garlean Imperial Army at a young age due to unnatural strength, Toshiyuki was forever changed by the horrors he had to endure for the safety of himself and his family.A few months before the start of A Realm Reborn, Hideyuki, Toshiyuki’s younger brother by two years, started a rebellion against the Garlean forces that occupied their hometown. This rebellion resulted in the brothers being gravely wounded, and while Hideyuki still managed to have some strength he helped his older brother onto an escape raft. In a futile attempt to stop Hideyuki from leaving him, Toshiyuki reached out to his brother only to take the katana strapped to Hideyuki’s hip before he lost consciousness. In an attempt to help others make it to the escape rafts, Hideyuki left Toshiyuki only to lose his life shortly after.Unfortunately, Toshiyuki was not granted a peaceful awakening, instead the raft in which he and several other refugees found themselves upon crash landed on the coast of Limsa Lominsa. With the help of nearby fishermen and healers from the city, the wounded were tended to. Toshiyuki only gained a glimpse of the conjurer that tended to his dire wounds, he was a pink vierra dressed in a strange garb unlike the other Lominsians. Although Toshiyuki lost consciousness shortly after, when he next awoke he realized he remembered nothing about himself aside from his name.When confronted with this new strange land and people, Toshiyuki asked one of the fishermen who saved him what his next step should be. Upon seeing the sword that Toshiyuki held, the fisherman suggested that he join the Marauders guild until he regained his memory. With the man’s recommendation ringing in his head he set off, unknowing to the journey that would soon await him and that strange pink vierra that he met on the beach.
