Skyline Bandit
Cid saved the world, once.
He did not do it for money. He did not do it for love, or fame. He didn't do it for anyone.
He simply enjoyed the thrill of the art of stealing. He enjoyed the danger it represented, the world of techniques he learnt along the way, the joy he felt when it was all done, and he had gotten away with it all.
So when Cid was recruited to steal a certain artifact in order to stop the death of the world, Cid agreed, placing some conditions. However, after the fact, everyone who owed him a favor reneged on it and chased after Cid, intending to kill him.
Luckily, he found a chance at life with the help of a new friend. And he swore - every single person who wronged him would suffer and lose way more than they'd ever stood to gain.
He would steal their arts, their strength, their talents, their divine fires. Everything that they took from him, he would steal back, with his new strength.
This was his promise - the promise of a legendary bandit in the making.
