As usual, here's a brand-new open post for all of you to post characters, mingle, and tag each other!
Seriously, post whatever you want. Empty toplevels? Open starters? Starters closed to specific people? It's all good — just enjoy! And as always, tag out and have fun!
[ outside of one psl i am still voice testing this charismatic ass and so kinda nervous/awkward turtle about it, but darn it i am determined!!! send a pm if you have any questions or want to run an idea by me! ]
[ Hello! Are you up for a WoL/Highlander Bard who may be a little too nice for his own good? Probably also willing to listen to Emet-Selch even if he witholds any true outward judgement? Also let me know at which point you'd like to make this meeting first happen! - ]
-Something from before he became the Azure Dragoon, when he was just another young man serving in the Temple Knights. Our characters could be fighting side by side, they could be sparring, or maybe they're enjoying a rare moment of rest (good luck getting Estinien to stick around for long, though).
-Missing scenes from ARR or earlier, before he took the Eye and ran with it.
-Post HW, when he's still in the wilds of Coerthas and Dravania, learning how to use his lance to protect man and dragon alike... or something like that. This may or may not involve stabbing dragons who didn't get the memo about peace with Ishgard. Or we can go with something SB flavored, when he's on the hunt for Nidhogg's eyes, taking down Garleans, and/or adventuring out on the Steppes.
-Anything else! If you have any ideas that don't fit neatly here, lay 'em on me, and we can see what works best.]
[ I've had this cute idea since that one sidequest that ends at Haurchefant's grave, like okay I know Estinien got to Azys Lla to leave those flowers for Ysayle and was gone by the time the wol got there but what if they ran into each other instead? XD ] *****
[ Materializing beside the aetheryte in Helix, Amelia hugged the moogle plush she'd had specially commissioned for Ysayle and looked around for a moment before kneeling and placing it at the base. Closing her eyes, she quietly said a prayer for the woman she had come to see as a sister before straightening up and spotting a silver-haired figure at the far end of the loading dock. Jogging that way, she finally speaks once she gets in earshot. ]
[ Help me voicetest this awkward nerd! PM to run ideas by, or just show up bleeding on his doorstep idk, I'll roll with whatever. Fully up to date so no worries about spoilers. ]
[Rose had not meant to visit Urianger. In fact, she had tried to avoid it. No matter how much she cared for her friend, the fact remained that he had a tendency to...ramble on. And on. And on. Rose was never much for niceties, and there’s only so long she can last before nodding off or saying something.]
[So she’d passed by his house on the way out of Il Mheg, only to stumble on it again. Thinking she’d taken a wrong turn, she went the other way, only to end up right back where she started. In fact, no matter which way she went, she found herself at Urianger’s doorstop.]
[Bloody fairies.]
[She briefly entertains the idea of waiting the fairies out, before deciding otherwise and knocking on Urianger’s door. At least his lectures only seem endless.]
[ This is just the third time she's been back today. They're going to be moving out soon, going back to the Crystarium, but night had already fallen and they could all use a good rest. That was the idea; they should be resting. The night sky painted everything dark blue, the stars seeming to glitter with light, and Allumette was not asleep as she should be.
Her chest still ached - she found it a little hard to breathe, in truth, and the white scars that marked its way across her chest were starting to be more prominent - but her attention was far from her physical state. Hesitantly, she touched the painted cave walls again, gaze following the curves of the lines. No one else seemed to have been bothered by this.
Well, aside from the obvious reason to be bothered.
Yet there was something... off. Something that felt wrong, something felt... it was like a nagging feeling in the back of her head, like she left the candles lit or something of the sort. Something had gone unsaid, it felt like.
Still, she sighed deeply. She needed to stop thinking about this, or there would be a fourth time she'd come to this place and have - still - no answers. ]
Staring at you isn't going to do anything, I know. [ Is she... talking to the wall? ] But what other option do I have, here? [ Yeah, she's definitely talking to the wall. She should probably turn in at this point. ] If I was on the Source there would be so many people I could speak to, but here -
[ She stops; one of her ears flick, flick, flicks to the side and she turns her head towards the sound she picked up. ]
I'm armed. [ She's not. ] You'll regret it if you try to creep up on me.
[ ooc: I have a headcanon that Hen here has a lighthearted rivalry with Alisaie since they're both red mages. ]
[ It's a simple, routine patrol, the sin eater before Hen is blissfully unaware of her presence and Hen grins, rapier at the ready. She can feel the aether humming at her fingertips, in that liminal zone between white and black...
Only for a trio of sword slashes to fell the eater. ]
[Also known as 'what if I AU my own OCs into FFXIV because I can't chill out'. Also warning for some maybe SHB spoilers!
Anastasia is a Sin Eater/Human hybrid that was a very unlucky accident more than anything, resulting in some dark aether getting mixed in and so lacks the ability to make other Sin Eaters docile. She is, however, incredibly strong and can fly with some uncharacteristic black wings. She also possess a much more sparkly, and powerful, form that resembles more of a typical Sin Eater.
Anastasia firmly sits in the 'ally but only because it benefits her' corner, a troll and a stubborn ass who likes to fight her role is Tank always. Probably stayed out in the Empty before journeying to Norvrandt once realizing night had started to return.]
[Part 2 of 'what if I AU my own OCs into FFXIV because I can't chill out'.
Persephone is a WoL who was originally an Allagan experiment - though when the Crystal Tower popped up outta the ground, she and her fellow experiments awakened and escaped. Being infused with earth aether for years has made her very... plant-like, and she has no memory of her life before waking up.
Had been hidden and living within the Black Shroud for years before being chosen - while she once used glamour to hide her appearance, Persephone eventually gave up doing that. Despite her appearance and being a massive flirt and social butterfly, she's actually a Warrior and she hits hard. Has some issues with not knowing what she is anymore but she pretends it's fine until SHB happens and then the existential crisis happens all over again]
[ with a name like that-- how can I really refuse? You are tempting me and this Ascian grandpa over here... should I bite? Would a Persephone even be interested in a 'Hades'?]
