Galiene was the daughter of a Taslamaran (father) and an Imperial (mother) noble. Born in the Empire where she spent the first years of her life, the family had to move to Taslamar after the execution of her father. She was raised with stories about the tyrannical regime that the Empire was and how her Taslamaran ancestors had fought against oppression to build a kingdom of enlightened liberty. When she came of age she decided that she would rather devote herself to a higher cause than stay home to fulfill her family's expectations of her. She joined her brother and they made it to Exile to start a life of their own. Erik has written a very nice story about the family's history and the siblings' childhood years, maybe when he deletes Reinald he will post it somewhere.
She spent most of her life politically unaffiliated not only because of a lack of personal ambitions, but so that she could move freely in the ranks of light, offering her assistance wherever was needed without implications. Despite that, Galiene lived her whole life following the tenets of the Fist monks, even though she joined the order at a much older age.
Her life was something like an odyssey. She lived in almost all of the kingdoms and interacted with all people of note of her time, in an attempt to enlighten herself and enlighten those around her as well. I am still a bit disappointed that I could not finish her pilgrimage, but Cendre's demands were a little too much.
Even though this was not too obvious to others, Galiene was a contradictive personality. She was a bit aloof due to her upbringing, but acted humble most of the time due to her principles. She kept a lenient attitude toward others, but those that knew her better could see that she was really stubborn. What really redeemed her of her flaws was an unquivering faith to Zavijah and the Light's moral beliefs.
Galiene was my first attempt to play a lightie. I was hesitant because I was not sure if I have the patience to keep up with the concept. I have always envisioned lighties as good people; if the darkies are evil and act as such, then the lighties must be good and act as such. I tried to play her as an open-minded, kind, compassionate, forgiving, altruistic person. I leave it to others to be the judge of whether I succeeded or failed on this.
This was my first character to hit GM, to go into PvE to all those high end areas and to enter PvP willingly. I have to thank ardith for all those. He literally took me by the hand and dragged me to GM status and also he gave me a chance by taking me to his group. This was more fun than I had ever anticipated. Oh, and since I am on this, I should make a mention to Toji's player who was always there to discuss my ideas/plans about her and he also would proof read/edit all those notes I posted in the various boards. Please, come back to the game man.
So, to all those that I interacted with, be it for arpee or pvp; lighties, greybies and darkies, thank you! You made my time in the game fun, challenging and interesting.
