History Characters / FinalFantasyXITheAdventurer

* MixAndMatch -- With the main and support job combinations.

* HelloInsertNameHere

* ItBeganWithATwistOfFate

** [[spoiler:MentorOccupationalHazard]]

* ProtagonistWithoutAPast

* TheAce: By the time you finish the game, you would have saved all of the major cities several times over, helped countless characters over come their personal demons and mastered twenty two combat styles and many other crafting styles.
* AmbiguouslyBi: By the end of ''Seekers of Adoulin'', it becomes pretty clear that [[spoiler:Arciela]] has a crush on you, but (depending on how you interact with her during the story), its not made clear whether The Adventurer feels the same way about her.

* AscendedExtra: As strange as it might seem. In the original game and the first few expansions, the stories where almost always much more focused on the individual non playable characters and their relationships between each other. ''Treasures of Aht Urhgan'' starts to place more emphasis on the relationships between the non playable characters and you, but its not until ''The Wings of the Goddess'' that the player character becomes a core aspect of the story, and not just some hired muscle. And finally, ''Rhapsodies of Vana'diel'' makes your character an important part of the back story and your relationship with Iroha is at the centre of the entire story

* LivingLegend: By the end of the game they have become famous across seven different city states with exploits lasting over twenty years.

* OneManArmy: By the end of the game you are going against actual gods.

* SuperMode - Some of the jobs' SP abilities, originally having a 2 hour cooldown but have since been relaxed to 1 hour. Some Notorious Monsters and some very few allied battle [=NPCs=] can also use these, with the more notable characters often being able to use the SP abilities of more than one job.
* UnwittingPawn: Several points during the story. A short list of people that have used The Adventurer in their schemes includes [[spoiler:Joker, Eald'narche, Eshan'Tarl, Nag'molada, Selh'teus, Carbuncle, Domina Shantotto, and Excenmille ]]

A large, male only race. Due to their immense size they survived quite well in the savage Age of Beasts and where able to establish one of the first post cataclysm societies, The Kingdom of Altepa, on Zepwell Island. Unfortunately, the kingdom was destroyed during a war with the bug like Antica, and the Galka fled to the middle lands. Today they mainly live in Bastok, where their strength makes them ideal laborers to the Humes. Tensions between the two races are common, as the Humes have a tendency to treat The Galka as an underclass.

A race with cat-like features. Like the Galka they survived incredibly well in the Age of Beasts and were quick to establish a nation, The Gha Naboh Matriarchate on the continent of Olzhirya, well south of the middle lands. They also have the fishing town of Kazham in the Elshimo Islands and where granted land by their long time allies, the Tarutaru within The Republic of Windurst.

* Amazon Brigade: Pretty much any combat-based organization of Mithra (such as the Sin Hunters and Mithra Mercenaries)qualifies as this, due to their low male birth rates and the fact that they normally don't allow men in combat roles.

* CatPeople: Just look at their design.

The Galka are also noteworthy for having a unique reproduction cycle. As a Galka gets old, he sets out on a reincarnation pilgrimage, where upon he is engulfed in a white light. A year latter a new Galka child is seen with no memory of his past and is presumed to be the reincarnation of the older Galka. What's more, every so often a Galka is born with the collective memory of all Galka who had died over the past two hundred years and is heralded as The Galka Talekeeper.

* CantArgueWithElves: In universe, the Elvaan are incredibly proud with heavily xenophobic.

* OurElvesAreDifferent: Besides their appearance and arrogance, the Elvaan actually differ a lot from traditional depictions of Elves. They lack any real sense of magical ability and are instead one of the more physical races. The live in highly religious medieval societies.

* AngryBlackMan: They are very close to this trope.

* BroughtDownToBadass: In ''Rhapsodies of Vana'diel'' you actually [[spoiler:ascend to godhood with a little help form Promathia and Altana. You loose your divinity when you merge with your dark half, and whats left of the powers you got from the ascension after using it to finish of The Cloud of Darkness.]]

The five intelligent races that you can choose from during the beginning of the game. Legend states that they where born after the goddess Altana shed five tears after the Vana'diel was struck by a cataclysm as a result of the war between The Zilart and Kuluu races, although their actual origin is explored in more details in ''Chains of Promathia''

The most human like of the five races, and also the most common. As a race they are fairly balanced across all stats, never being the best at anything but never being the worse at anything. It is perhaps this balance that has explained their place in the five races. Since they lacked the shear physicality of the Galka, Elvaan and Mithra or the magical prowess of the Tarutaru, the Hume's struggled in earlier, harsher ages, but as conditions improved the Hume's tendency towards science and discovery has helped them establish the most powerful nations, Bastok, Jueno and Aht Urhgan, in the current age.

* HumanityIsAdvanced: The occupry the most advanced nations in Vana'diel.

Vana'diels equivalent of elves. Physically they are the strongest of the five races as well as the second most durable, resulting in a proud warrior race whose nations are prone to civil wars. Their twin nations of San d'Oria and Tavnazia came into power when the Elvaan where able to learn from magic that the Tarutaru had for years tried to keep secret. Coupled with their physical strength, the Elvaan where able to create a society and military that surpassed the Tarutaru. However, after centuries of civil wars, they soon found themselves loosing their influence to the more technological advanced Hume nations of Bastok and Jueno. The Elvaan society took a further blow when Tavnazia was destroyed during the final days of The Crystal War.

* OurElvesAreDifferent: Besides their appearance and arrogance, the Elvaan actually different a lot from traditional depictions of Elves. They lack any real sense of magical ability and are instead one of the more physical of all races. The live in highly religious medieval societies.

A small child like race that established one of the first societies on the middle lands after the great meltdown. During the age of beasts they relied on their more physical orientated Mithra allies before learning the secrets of magic from Fenrir at Full Moon Fountain.

* VerbalTic. Many of the Tarutaru characters have one, including Shantotto's rhyming and Koru-Moru speaking like Ned Flaners

A large, male only race. Due to their immense size they survived quite well in the savage Age of Beasts and where able to establish one of the first post cataclysm societies, The Kingdom of Altepa, on Zepwell Island. Unfortunately the kingdom was destroyed during a war with the bug like Antica, and the Galka fled to the middlelands. Today they mainly live in Bastok, where their strength makes them ideal laborers to the Hume's. Tehnsions between the two races as common, as the Hume has a tendency to treat The Galka as an underclass

A year latter a new Galka child is seen with no memory of his past and is presumed to be the reincarnation of the older Galka. Whats more, every so often a Galka is born with the collective memory of all Galka who had died over the past two hundred years and is heralded as The Galka Talekeeper

* FantasticRacism: They are among the biggest receivers of this in the game

A race with cat like features. Like the Galka they survived incredibly well in the Age of Beasts and were quick to establish a nation, The Gha Naboh Matriarchate on the continent of Olzhirya, well south of the middle lands. They also have the fishing town of Kazham in the Elshimo Islands and where granted land by their long time allies, the Tarutaru within The Republic of Windurst.

Due to the extreme rarity of male Mithra, they tend to stay home in the Matriarchate. The player character can only choose to be a female Mithra
