Series name: Final Fantasy XIV Shadowbringers A summary
Canon notes: Shadowbringers up to the end of 5.1 story
Species: Mqio'te
Age: Over 200 years old, but looks 30-50 range. To better explain this he prolongs his life by infusing himself with the Crystal Tower.
Arrival Condition: He will be coming in uninjured. Due to being infused with Crystal Tower there is a bond between him and the Crystal Tower. In game if he's away for too long he becomes weak, perhaps overtime while being here he'll start to feel the same affects he would back at home.
History: A link
Personality:
He is very self sacrificing. He ends up pulling the Warrior of Light’s friends to the First since his intention was just calling forth the Warrior of Light. There are consequences with pulling the Scions. They can't travel freely back to their own world. He finds out the one way to do so is by his death since it'll reverse what he did to be able to send them back safely. In order to do that he would gather the light from the wardens and send himself through the rift which would cause him to die. It would ultimately save the Warrior of Light, Norvrandt, and the Scions.
There’s a lot of secrets that he keeps to himself. In order to play out his grand scheme of taking on the lightwardens and eventually stealing the light from the Warrior of Light to go through the rift. He keeps his motives a secret from them and his true identity. He even goes as far as asking one of the Scions to help him out and keep it only amongst themselves. He asks Urianger to be the one to tell the Warrior of Light about the Eight Umbral Calamity. That means he saw the Warrior of Light and his friends all die before coming to the First for a way to stop it from happening. If history needs to be unwritten let it be unwritten.
He’s caring and will do anything for the cause that he’s a part of. He’s a leader in the eyes of the people of the Crystarium. The First is a land that’s been covered in Light for over a century. They haven't seen blue or dark skies in a long time. It’s also a land in ruins and they had to rebuild themselves back up. The people of Norvrandt needed hope and he was able to provide that with stories of his own home world and the Warrior of Light. He speaks words of encouragement to engage the people of Norvrandt leading them into hope and being able to be motivated towards rebuilding. He knows that men are resilient when it comes to war and that they'll keep fighting for what they truly believe in.
He’s very eccentric. He plays a game with the Warrior of Light with getting aethersand that’s needed for a task in opening up the Crystal Tower back in the Source. Some of the things he says may not be all clear or even sometimes they may not make much sense.
He won't leave matters half finished. Even after getting shot and most likely tortured he comes back to aid the Warrior of Light by calling forth champions from beyond the rift to help the Warrior of Light take on a threat so they wouldn't be by themselves. They would stand together. He may not be a hero but he knows what one looks like. He very much wanted to be like the heroes of eld. However he comes up short every time and has accepted the fate he's in even if he wants to stand by a certain heroes side.
Failure is something that G’raha is familiar with. He has made them while in his youth. Even now he has done things that weren’t exactly what he was hoping for. He has grown from his mistakes and is determined to fix them as well. Trying to find a way to bring the Scions back home to the Source is something he’s been working on for quite some time now. Norvrandt works differently with how time passes. It could be a few hours in the Source but a whole month or more could happen while being in the First. They’re running out of time and resources to figure out this puzzle. There’s one sure way to bring them back but it’ll end up with him dying to do so.
Coming back to Agra 10
The Crystal Exarch will be coming back and remembering his time on Agra 10. On his arrival he asked if there were any libraries around. At the time there hadn't been any for research. He'll be spending his time trying to learn anything from the planet resources. Maybe he might be able to find something to study knowing that he could end up failing at whatever he studies. He had went off planet before to a planet covered in snow. Some of the heroes at the time had went to being their childhood selves. He had stayed the same during his time there. The cold had been different for him since winters are not the same in Norvrandt. Everyone had been celebrating gift exchanging and the likes. A happier time before they ended up coming across the storm.
The storm provided a challenge of not having powers while seeing faces of friends and of a hero that has provided a strong sense of hope back home. The Crystal Exarch would remember this time being vulnerable but he would want to overcome the next storm.
He will be interested in wondering how one can leave and come back. How often has it happened? The Crystal Exarch may only come up empty and that's fine, he'll continue to provide hope to those that need it while he searches for answers.
Abilities:
Summoning people through a rift via the Calling. This will not work in the game. But to explain it, he can summon actual people to another world. He can even use it to send people back to their world. It's still a tricky summoning though and sometimes it'll bring someone over but then it may not bring them completely as a whole. The Warrior of Light is a success to the Calling while the friends of Warrior of the Light the Scions souls are stuck without being able to go back freely. He did move the entire Crystal Tower to the First which is an amazing feat considering most others wouldn't be able to do it. He is the Crystal Tower's keeper, due to the royal bloodline that he's a part of.
He's a magic user. He'll be able to use magic from being a blackmage which they can cast fire, thunder, and ice spells. If anything those spells will be their level one equivalent if he were to keep them. They will only do slight damage versus a lot. As a whitemage it's a form of different healing magic which can be dampened or not work while being here. Paladin is a tank class within the game so it'll be mostly used as defensive spells. Mostly they take less damage to things but that's all what their spells basically are.
The staff he uses would be able to transform into the weapons he needs for the class types he can use. Such as blackmage and whitemage's would be a staff item. The Paladin class uses a sword and shield, the items would glow white to signify the change of the staff.
In his past he's an excellent archer. If he were to encounter a bow and arrows he'll be able to use them without any real issue.
Personal Item: His staff would be nice to bring along since it can also double as a walking cane.

The tweaks to his magic are fine as stated - he can retain his abilities at a very low (level one) level, including healing at a basic level. If you have any further questions about that, please just ask and we'll make sure everyone's on the same page. The staff is also fine!
We ask that you take the following steps so you can get started in the game:
