Personality

His parents raised him to be a good samaritan. Honest, humble and hard-working. He helped his parent's general goods store by doing the deliveries by truck to various cities and hamlets. Dislikes lazy people and hates bandits/thieves stealing from honest folks.

Background

With his dog, Jager, sitting in the bed of the chocobo-pulled wagon, Kazuya did not have a care in the world when he was thirteen. Delivering much needed supplies to villages and cities brought him great joy, seeing the warm smiles and happy expressions whenever folks see his delivery wagon rolling into view. The happy image turned sour when he began constantly running into bandits trying to steal his parent's precious cargo. Kazuya started learning to defend himself with rifles when he first started out young delivering for his parents. Then one day got into a close-quartered fight with a mugger, defending himself against a dagger with just a simple metal pipe. It was here, Kazuya developed a liking to close-quartered combat, picking up the sword as his chosen weapon.

Kazuya wanted to be the best swordsman in all of Eorzea because he couldn't bear the thought of disappointing or failing his parents. He seeked out rumors and legends of a man who's battle prowess with the sword was so insane it crossed the line, spat on it then jump way over to the realm of insanity. This man was known as simply 'Brock'. It took him many months to even find a clue that would eventually lead up to Kazuya finding the elusive man named Brock. At first Brock rejected Kazuya, expressing he did not want a stupid and weak child as a pupil even literally giving Kazuya a boot to the ass that would send him flying down the mountain. But Kazuya perservered with his strong determination, always returning everyday after work to practice without Brock's guidance until Brock accepted him as his pupil. It wasn't until an incident involving a group of Koblolds outnumbering and ambushing Kazuya that Brock witness and was impressed by Kazuya's will to fight and survive. He also observed that Kazuya carried very rare and special gift, known as the 'Echo'. Brock intervened with the fight, telling the severely-injured Kazuya, "Get strong quickly, there's no time to waste. Pay attention kid. Burn this scene into your eyes." It was there, Kazuya witnessed first-hand Brock's insane strength, cleaving a small portion of the mountain to strike down all of the Kobolds at once.

Kazuya would diligently train under Brock's guidance.. which was extremely unorthodox methods of training (surviving and walking off a kick from Brock that landed you iinto the side of a mountain, crazy shit like that) and random shouting lectures about being a man and doing manly stuff. Kazuya's parents were of course worried about his welfare and well-being, he wasn't even an adult yet and he was faced with many dangerous monsters and Brock's crazy-ass training. Many years later, after honing his skills as an expert gladiator under Brock's tutelage, Brock took him for the final test. Since Kazuya is of Ul'dahn nationality, Brock declared that Kazuya's final test is to fight a mythical magical creature of legend, the Primal known as Ifrit. Only the Amaalj'aa beastmen knew how to summon Ifrit but Brock bartered with them to arrange the destined fight between Kazuya and Ifrit. Kazuya would barely triumph in his fight against Ifrit. His reward? A hearty punch to his gut by Brock, forcing Kazuya to kneel down on the ground, which allowed Brock to present him with another reward. A special sword crafted from the blood of Ifrit, the King Crimson Glory. A blazing sword that matched Kazuya's passionate devotion. His training with Brock is officially over.

His parents noticed Kazuya's dedication to his training with swords and strong vigil against robbers/unruly thugs/etc, and decided on his 18th birthday that the delivery business should not be his future. If he really wanted to help people out, they suggested that he should apply to join their nation's Grand Company, the Immortal Flames.
