===General===

[[File:Berrod Armstrong Complete.png|350px|thumb|left|Berrod at the Silver Bazaar. Artwork done by Liucen/Berrod Armstrong]]

Berrod Armstrong is a displaced Ala Mhigan highlander who leads a Free Company that operating out of the Goblet in Thanalan. Until recently he suffered with amnesia and lived life as a crude-mannered street thug who hailed from Pearl Lane in Ul'Dah. Prior to his acquisition of the company, his day to day life consisted of seeking means of survival in post-Calamity Eorzea.

===Appearance===

Berrod is a tall and solidly built Highlander male who reaches a proud height of six fulms and five ilms. His body is at its physical peak, wrapped in two hundred and sixty-nine ponz of bulky, well-worked muscle. His most distinguishable feature is the shock of red hair on his head, shaved at the sides and tied into a compact tail at the back. When let down, the hair reaches down to the middle of his back. Bright green eyes peer from behind an oft-folded brow, the prelude to a rather roughly handsome face accented with a neatly trimmed red beard about his hard, square jaw.

His name tells no lies, both the Highlander's arms are powerfully muscled and rather large, with moderate vascularity and a ruddy dusting of hair along his corded forearms. They end in big calloused hands with scarred knuckles -- a testament to both hard labor and training. He proudly sports a prominent chest (also red-swept with hair), a broad back and a well-developed core that tapers slightly at the waist before expanding into trunk-like thighs and calves. While the intricacies of his form are usually obscured by his leather pants, harness and boots, Berrod's big frame is enough to go by.

===Amnesia===
Given the enviromnent that he spent his period of amnesia in (Pearl Lane and the streets of Ul'Dah), Berrod had developed a rather crude, rough, violent and short-tempered personality. The man was as easily pleased as he was angered, however, and found enjoyment in simple things like sharing a meal with friends.

When in a good mood, Berrod was often crudely flirtatious and prone to levity, known for his loud and scandalous barks of laughter. As anger took over he was quick to resort to violence, no matter how imposing his target was. The Highlander was no stranger to obscene language and had no qualms about belting out profanity -- regardless of who was around.

===Recovery===
Berrod now comes across as a serious no-nonsense fellow, though he has his rare moments of levity and other juvenile pursuit. Where his temper was once short and his reactions overt, he now tends to hide most of his reactions behind a solid wall of solemn regard. The wall is not permanent, and tends to fall in the private presence of close friends and lovers.

Berrod is a persistent and hardworking individual, willing to do what it takes to achieve a goal. This manifests in his tendency to work long hours at whatever job he finds as well as train incessantly until he is satisfied with his level of progress -- this has not changed from the period of amnesia to the period of his recovery.

==Combat==
===General===

[[File:Berrod Punch JPG.jpg|300px|thumb|right|Artwork by Liucen/Berrod Armstrong]]

Berrod was the lone student of an aged, surviving member of the Fists of Rhalgr. His fighting style employs powerful blows delivered skillfully with his fists and feet, fueled by the muscles about his frame. He believes in committing his entire body to the fight, and tends to have an advantage when closer to the ground during a melee.

The Highlander is also adept at the use of aether in order to attain a heightened state. Through this augmentation he is able to land faster and more devastating blows -- usually laced with a lightning aspect. A great deal of his strength lies in his actual physical power and endurance, which generally allow his hits to land hard and let him take more punishment. His techniques are clever and flexible, often making a fight with him a challenging puzzle of blows.

==The Chakras==
===The Chakras during the Amnesia Period===

[[File:Silhouette.png|300px|thumb|left|Berrod had mastered the use of three of his chakras, and had been actively training to master the fourth, during his amnesia. Artwork by Liucen/Berrod Armstrong]]

In a bid to understand why he was able to generate occasional surges of lightning from his fists, Berrod discovered that six out of his seven chakras were already opened. He correctly deduced that he had trained quite hard to open them before he lost his memory. Unfortunately, having the chakras open did not give him instant control over the destructive abilities they grant.

Berrod began working on them again from scratch, undertaking intense training and meditation to touch and harness his open chakras one by one. The first he gained control over was his Root, allowing him to aspect the aether flowing through him to earth and gain quite an increase in his endurance, toughness and tolerance for pain. After some more training, Berrod found that he could get dirt to actually cling to him and form a protective layer of sorts. Satisfied with the results, the Highlander moved on to work on his second chakra.

After quite some time and several trials Berrod managed to grasp use of his second chakra, the Sacral Chakra. He saw an instant upsurge in his everyday stamina and energy levels, though not without cost. Given the nature of the chakra, he had gained a significant increase in his appetite for physical pleasures such as food, drink, men and women. Curbing his enthusiasm was a challenge, but one he had decided to rise to. Control of his Sacral Chakra had granted him the ability to heal himself to the extent of seeing injuries knit together and vanish before his eyes. The use of the chakra required him to store aether within it to be expended as healing energy. Once it had been expended, the aether needed to be stockpiled once more. Typically, it took Berrod two to three days for his Sacral to be ready after being spent.

The Highlander finally managed to master his third chakra as well, the Solar Plexus Chakra. The Chakra governed his will and sense of self, further fueling his drive to become stronger. It instilled an odd sense of discipline within him, regarding his training. Through the Solar Plexus, he gained full control over the lightning which he had only been able to occasionally generate before.

One moon after returning from a long journey, Berrod experienced a happy accident during training that allowed him to grasp his fourth Chakra, the Heart. The experience was quite unlike the discovery of the previous three. Unlike the others that he had to learn to unleash, the Heart provided a steady and powerful flow of aether that he had to learn to suppress. As empowering as it was, the volume of aether and his lack of control over it resulted in quite a bit of injury to himself. His first exercises involved constantly and consciously keeping the aether at bay, but recent progress in his training has allowed him to do so without dedicated thought. The aether contained within the heart alternates between fire aspected and unaspected, depending on how passionate Berrod is about the battle when it is released.

Berrod had not yet mastered the Heart; he had ceased his aggressive approach toward it in favor of a slower, safer and more refined method. Much to his displeasure, he admitted that it may take him a matter of years to attain mastery over it. It remained the main subject of his training, and a desperate, double edged gambit in heated battle.

===The Chakras during the Recovery Period===
Berrod's recovery has led to him remembering exactly how to access and effectively utilize all six of his open chakras, though he does so with discretion, reverence and discipline. Given that he had re-mastered the first three during his period of amnesia, not much more improved in terms of his skill with them.

[[File:Sixchakras.jpg|300px|thumb|left|Berrod's recovery has led to him remembering exactly how to access and effectively utilize all six of his open chakras. Artwork by Liucen/Berrod Armstrong]]

His struggle with the Heart evaporated with the recovered knowledge of how to hold the flow at bay and control exactly how much of it he allows into his blows. Regardless of his skill with it however, he still utilizes it only in times of need, given its nature to exhaust after granting strength.

Berrod also remembered his grasp on the fifth Chakra, the Throat, which aspected the aether flowing through him to wind. With it came augmented speed, flexibility, and the very odd ability to amplify his voice for the purpose of chanting inspirational mantras. While nowhere near as effective as the magic of a Bard's song, his mantras contain the ability to grant a slight augmentation to the vigor of those who hear it. He has demonstrated the power of the Throat only once after his recovery, and has not seen reason to use it since.

The sixth chakra, the Mind's Eye, is something that the Highlander has chosen to keep shrouded in mystery. During his single demonstration of it, a bright glow emanated from between his eyes, drawing a chilling comparison to the third eye of the pure blooded Garleans. What purpose it served was left unexplained.

Berrod will speak at length of the legend of the seventh chakra and usually debunk it as a myth, a story of power that only the most special can achieve. He has pushed to his limits and found nothing beyond the sixth -- or so he says.

Regardless of the plethora of abilities granted by his open chakras, Berrod exercises a heavy measure of restraint in terms of their use. He has stated that while numerous and powerful, the abilities are not without their limit, given that they depend on the aetheric capacity of the user. He has stressed that opening chakras are good for increasing the capacity, but the power granted is not infinite. With overuse, a monk's spirit will eventually run dry. In that light, he approaches each challenge with only as much force as it takes to get through it -- opening higher tiers of power as needed.

Usually, it just means punching and kicking a lot.

==Relationships==
===Family===

Berrod has no surviving family at present.

===Friends/Lovers===

[[Caleb Agron]] was a guest at the lounge who Berrod had set his sights on making a one night conquest. The plan went awry as the two Highlanders ended up growing quite close -- close enough to eventually become lovers. Despite the many tests that their relationship has endured and regardless of their often conflicting personalities, the pair remain involved with each other to present day.

[[Caden Agron]] , the twin brother of [[Caleb Agron]]. The beginning of Berrod's acquaintance with the Highlander was turbulent due to a bit of early deception on Caden's part. The twin posed as his brother to seduce Berrod, which almost shattered the twins' relationship. It took several moons for Berrod to trust Caden again, but since the man's recent move to Thanalan, the two of them have resolved their issues and grown close.

[[Zindelo Tarantella]] is the eldest of three 'siblings' who form a performing troupe. The Dusty Dancer was one of the few who didn't balk to Berrod's intimidation and would not succumb to his attempts to establish dominance. It earned him a strange sort of respect from Berrod, and an even stranger attraction. Ill discretion on Berrod's part led to a one night tryst between the two, which oddly enough secured Berrod's loyalty to Zindelo as a friend. Though Berrod regards Zindelo a bit awkwardly at times, he genuinely enjoys the Highlander's company.

[[Sarij Rahzersyn]] , who Berrod affectionately refers to as 'Flowers', is a Sea Wolf who was once a guest at the Spectrum Lounge during Berrod's time there. Berrod befriended Sarij during his stay, and has remained his friend ever since -- even through periods when Sarij had been called out to sea for moons at a time. The two have shared a bed on more than one occasion, but it has not affected the closeness of their friendship. However, Berrod is prone to being a bit abrasive to him at times.

===Friends/Acquaintances===

[[Avenio Naemig]] was Berrod's 'boss' of sorts at the Spectrum Lounge, given his partnership with [[Corin Winterborne]] at the time. In the early days Berrod tended to be careful around the blond Highlander, even more so given his attraction toward Corin. It did not stop him from developing a fierce respect for the man as a fighter. After the events that led to Berrod leaving the lounge, he saw nothing of Avenio for several moons. It was by chance that he met the other in Ul'dah and took the the opportunity to immediately recruit him to the Astral Agents. The two have developed a friendship since then, the earlier tension between them long forgotten.

[[C'eleni Meztli]] first drew Berrod's attention while she was desperately searching for one of her colleagues. The seeker hired him despite his gruff interaction. Since then, they have run into each other a few times. Berrod considers her to be a good person, but remains concerned that her upbeat and optimistic nature leaves her open for disaster.

[[Dev'to Mikah]] was an acquaintance through recruitment, introduced to him by [[Tefh Jinjahl]] . Berrod identified with the Keeper's seemingly carefree nature at first; he enjoyed training and simply loitering about with him. Later on, Berrod began to notice something significantly unstable about the young Keeper and opted to keep a subtle distance between them. Nevertheless, they still remain friends.

[[Gerik Aston]] is an acquaintance mostly through Caleb, but Berrod finds the man's carefree nature intriguing. His first impression of the man wasn't at all favorable; Gerik had loudly hailed him out when he had been trying to meditate for the first time. It shattered his concentration and set his progress back by hours. Later on, Berrod became rather envious of the amount of time Gerik had been spending with Caleb, only to find out that the two had only been engaging in juvenile and playful shenanigans. Exposure to Gerik's happy-go-lucky nature has incubated a bit of protective instinct toward the Highlander.

[[Grave Shadow]] - An enigmatic Hellsguard with whom Berrod has had a roller-coaster friendship, toeing on both ends of dislike and affection. The pair tend to enjoy casual conversation at the Quicksand, and work with one another in a professional capacity when a situation calls for it.

[[Horace Rook]] has only made a few appearances in Berrod's life, but each of them has been extremely significant. The mysterious Midlander has an odd habit of showing up when Berrod is stuck in his development, and is indirectly responsible for Berrod's discovery of his chakras. For a time Berrod believed that Rook was the one who trained him before he lost his memory, but the Midlander revealed that to be untrue. Regardless, Berrod treats the man with a respect he reserves for few others.

[[I'sen Tia]] was introduced to Berrod via I'sen's partner, F'ivahl. Berrod did not have much interaction with him until I'sen took up healing at the Grindstone Tournament. Seeing the Seeker show up every week to tend to the competitors very quickly earned Berrod's respect. Eventually I'sen joined the same company as Berrod, allowing them to work together more closely. Through that, I'sen became Berrod's student in the ways of Pugilism. Whether I'sen suspects it or not, Berrod intends to introduce him to monkhood.

[[Ioakim Tarantella]] is the second of the Tarantella siblings, the adopted brother of [[Zindelo Tarantella]]. Berrod met the man during the Grindstone Tournament and developed an initial dislike of him, based on his insistant nature regarding healing. Following a gentle suggestion from [[Caleb Agron]], Berrod gave Ioakim a chance and moved from outright dislike to casual regard. Only after his affair with Zindelo did Berrod pay Ioakim proper respect; the two had quite a heated discussion over the subject that led to a fight -- a fight that Berrod lost. From then on, Berrod regarded Ioakim as a friend to be protected...even from himself.

[[Jael'li Erisha'an]] and Berrod seemed to be fated for rivalry since the day they met in Ul'Dah. Much to Berrod's surprise, it wasn't the first time he had met the energetic and headstrong Keeper. Jael'li apparently worked for Berrod before his memory loss, something that the Highlander has worked very hard to dismiss -- much to Jael'li's displeasure. He prefers to focus on the present, which involves becoming stronger by the day and hoping to stay one step ahead of the rapidly developing Keeper in his training.

[[Kayllen Stormbringer]] was a bounty hunter with whom Berrod had a few non-hostile chance encounters. Berrod could not explain the underlying dread and unease he felt around the Midlander, but through interaction with him, eventually discovered that Kayllen was one of the key players in the events that led to his memory loss. He did not begrudge the man, for the life before didn't really exist for him. Instead, they established a mutual respect for each other and moved forward as friends.

[[Lottie Forsaidh]] was an acquaintance through the Grindstone Tournament; Berrod began taking notice of her as she healed alongside [[I'sen Tia]]. He has a somewhat child-like respect for her decorum, and does his best to be 'proper' when addressing her -- though he finds no shame in allowing her to see his naturally crude ways. He isn't as invested in her well being as he is with other friends, but will still aid her should she express the need for it.

[[Osric Melkire]] showed up before the Grindstone Tournament one evening and asked Berrod his counsel based on some of the Highlander's writings. Since then, Berrod has engaged the energetic Midlander in a spar and has come away quite impressed. He intends to observe the man's development, and use it as a model for others aspiring to become adept in the art of the fist.

[[Tefh Jinjahl]] is an aquaintance gained off of a chance meeting. The Keeper's strange ways intrigued Berrod to the point of quiet amusement. For a time he maintained a wariness around her, given her ability to seemingly appear out of nowhere. Over time, however, he grew somewhat fond of her and did his best to give her what advice he could to aid her survival in the unforgiving environment of Ul'Dah.

[[Teld're Eska'aldren]] - Though Berrod often blandly refers to the Miqo'te as an 'acquaintance in passing', he tends to enjoy the sparse-worded yet profound conversations that spark between them. He has described the fellow as 'one of the few respectable patrons' in the Quicksand, though would not be so quick to grant him that opinion directly.

[[Val Nunh]] met Berrod on bad terms, but through fighting the two gained a mutual respect for one another that has since then become friendship.

[[Warren Castille]] and Berrod seemed to simply cross paths quite often before an intense match at the Grindstone cemented Berrod's respect for the Highlander. His respect for him has only grown since then, though whenever asked about their 'friendship' he simply answers that they have an 'understanding'. Berrod now oversees the Grindstone tournament under Warren's leadership.

[[Zachary Evans]] - A young midlander who Berrod has taken on as a student. Berrod saw an incredible amount of potential in the fellow and decided to teach him in the Fists' ways. Despite having every appearance of wishing to kill him during almost every lesson, Berrod firmly believes that Zachary can achieve much more than most -- something he conveniently neglects to mention to him.

===Enemies===

[[Quur Vizani]] is an enemy of Berrod's own making. Having struck the man for no more than his own impatient whims, the way Berrod Carried himself earned him Quur's distaste. When he was called out on his less than appropriate behavior, the two men had a bit of a fallout, and have not actively spoken to each other since.

==Rumors==

Honestly, it makes me wonder if he's an exhibitionist. Huh? Alright, back on topis! He hits like a Garlean cannon, and the brute force he shows in a fight is intimidating.

==History/Timeline==

At the tender age of three, Berrod was taken away from Ala Mhigo by his mother, who sought to flee from the invasion of the Garlean Empire. In an effort to buy them more time to escape, his father remained behind to fight and was presumably killed in action.

Berrod's early life was spent in the rough environments of over-crowded refugee camps, which moulded him into a tough and sometimes violent child. When he was eight he bore witness to his mother being robbed, beaten, raped and subsequently killed by a pair of men from another camp. He was dragged off with them and made to serve a leader of a small gang within the camp.

The boy spent the next five years in captivity and servitude, treated rather roughly by all his captors save one, an old Monk who had once served with the Fist of Rhalgr. The man taught him how to defend himself without a weapon, and how to strike down those who did him wrong. While the old man had no intention for Berrod to actually use the knowledge, the then thirteen year old boy used it to hatch a plot of vengeance against his captor and the men who murdered his mother.

At the end of the fifth year he struck, murdering the leader of the gang while he laid with one of his women. The young boy offered the woman and the old Monk a chance to escape. The Monk declined and together Berrod and the woman left for the boy's former camp. With five years gone, the inhabitants had long forgotten him and considered him an invader from the other settlement. It took some doing, but he and is charge managed to convince the bristling group to let them in. Berrod bargained with the leader of the camp to help teach the young men and women how to fight, based on what he had learned from the Monk.

Order collapsed in the other, more violent camp and while they reeled in conflict for leadership, Berrod trained with the young men and women, taking three years to groom them into a veritable fighting force. By the time the other camp recovered and decided to try an invasion to expand their territory, Berrod's camp was ready. They defeated the invaders and offered the fighters amnesty on the grounds that they would fight for Berrod's camp. The influence this course of events granted the sixteen year old Hyur over the people quickly led to him becoming the leader of the now combined camps. At that time, the old Monk who had trained him was nowhere to be found.

The consolidated camp enjoyed a year of relative prosperity before the massive Garlean invasion and the Calamity struck. Their numbers were decimated and their resources all but obliterated. Left with only the strongest and toughest among the group, the hardened young man resolved to do whatever it took to survive. That resolve led to the formation of a deadly group of bandits who took up territory in Thanalan and had no mercy on any who would oppose or impose upon them. The group distanced themselves from their Ala Mhigan heritage and began recruiting from outside their race.

[[File:Berrod as Redhammer.jpg|250px|thumb|left|]]

The need for survival turned to greed, and after three years Berrod had become a ruthless Bandit ringleader, going under the name Redhammer. It was only a matter of time before their operations drew the notice of the authorities. With the help of a few mercenaries, the Immortal Flames swept through Berrod's base of operations, overwhelming his forces. Those who were not killed or allowed to run were captured. Berrod himself was taken down in a rather rough battle, left for dead with a grisly head injury.

When he awoke he found himself in a pile of corpses taken out to be burned, and managed to crawl away and into the desert. He made it only two malms before collapsing of fatigue and blood-loss once more. The twenty year old man was found and picked up by a merchant travelling to Ul'Dah, who nursed him back to health over a period of six months. Berrod, however, had no memory of several things he had done during his lifetime, including his leadership, his crimes -- and his training. The man was very nearly a blank slate. He recalled his proper name, had vague recollections of his mother, and understood in his heart that he had a very rough time growing up.

In an effort to make the best of things, the powerful-looking Highlander decided to leave the forgotten past behind and focus only on the future. He thanked the merchant for helping him and worked with him for six months before parting ways. Adopting the ways of a common street thug, Berrod resolved to live life to the fullest and began another regime of rigorous training within his tour of Ul'Dahn life.

It's been three years since then, and his story is still being written.

Berrod's journey forward led him into the employ of [[Corin Winterborne]], who ran the Spectrum Lounge hot spring resort and Spectrum Guard adventuring company in Upper La Noscea. Berrod worked as a groundsman and bar-backer at the resort and provided support for the company when needed. During his time at the resort he met several interesting individuals, including [[Caleb Agron]] who has since become his lover.

A series of unprecidented events saw the end of the Spectrum Guard and a transfer of ownership of the Spectral Lounge. Berrod, Corin and Caleb eventually travelled to the Silver Bazaar in Western Thanalan to rent accommodation on the arid seaside premises. No longer able to serve as a bar-backer or groundsman, Berrod began working temporary jobs about Thanalan and Ul'Dah.

Though his stay in the Bazaar was intended to be a point of Transition, he enjoyed the desert life, the atmosphere of nearby Ul'Dah and took part in the weekly Grindstone Tournament with gusto.

Berrod was later approached by a Sea Wolf who went by the Hellsguard name of 'Bursting Mountain'. Mountain offered him a job as a recruiter for an adventuring company which he took without hesitation. The Highlander brought a great deal of his friends into the company's employ and felt personally responsible when things went a bit sour. It turned out that Mountain and his hires were to be used as test subjects for the company's rather shady experiments. Berrod remained loyal to Mountain and helped him break away from the larger company to form his own. The Highlander took up the simple job of Groundsman at the headquarters of the new company, known as the Astral Agency.

After some time spent working at the Agency's headquarters, Berrod realized that he had stagnated somewhat, and decided to pull himself up and start developing once more. No longer did he participate in the Grindstone Tournament, for the contest did not allow him to train to his full potential. Along with [[Caleb Agron]] , Berrod set off on a journey focused on training and growth through worldly experience.

After three moons of travelling and adventure, Berrod returned to Ul'Dah to the news that Bursting Mountain had been abducted by perpetrators unknown. After working with a team from the Astral Agency to locate the Director, he was disappointed to find out that the entire ordeal was naught but an assessment. Berrod grew disenchanted with the organization -- and not a moment too soon. Mountain decided that he would relinquish the assets to a selection of the Agency and move on to other ventures.

Ownership of the Goblet property was split amongst a few of the Agents, and Berrod was given the responsibility of managing it. Before he left, Mountain transformed the office into a tavern and fighting ring, so that his former employees would still have a source of income.

Eventually Berrod decided to get back into the adventuring and mercenary business, reopening the doors of the Astral Agency while closing the ones to the fighting ring. After a while he became overwhelmed by the burdens of leadership, unable to cope with most of what his job demanded. To that effect, [[Kayllen Stormbringer]] hatched a plan to restore the man's memories and make him more capable for the task.

The plan succeeded, and Berrod remembered near everything from the years before his time in Ul'Dah. Most of the memories came along with a certain note of trauma, but he stubbornly persevered. With new insight, new outlook and a new demeanor, he stepped up to lead the Agents into the successful business it remains to date.

[[File:Aya_003.png|300px|right]]
=== <div style="padding:10px 0px 15px 30px; background:#FFE4E1;font-size:14px;color:#000000;font-weight:bold;">General</div> ===
This tall, blonde Hyur woman moves gracefully, displaying bright, energetic blue eyes, and warm, happy smile - everyone's favorite bountifully chested barmaid!

=== <div style="padding:10px 0px 15px 30px;background:#FFE4E1;font-size:14px;font-weight:bold;">Appearance</div> ===

Long blonde locks fall freely over the shoulders of this Hyur woman, bearing a somewhat unkempt waviness that threatens at times to become a curl. Bright blue eyes are the highlight of a warm smile framed by typically rose-red lips. She is short and slender for a Highland Hyur, but by the standards of Midlanders would be considered tall, with a curvaceous figure. Finding herself somewhere between fit and athletic, her body is finely honed for dancing, and is only secondarily adapted to the rigors of combat - especially as she is no longer a sellsword by trade.

Aya is usually seen wearing at least light makeup, and is rarely found without lip gloss and eye makeup. She loves jewelry and sports seven piercings on each ear (four upper, and three lower), usually wearing larger earrings on the lower-most piercing, and then matching studs in the remaining (frequently changed to match her outfit, and sometimes her mood). She usually wears necklaces, bracelets, and several rings, as well as navel jewelry that she prefers to have visible whenever possible.

She prefers outfits chosen for form instead of function, frequently wearing heeled shoes and boots, skirts instead of leggings, and armor that give priority to flattering her figure rather than protecting her. When she was a mercenary her commanders were at times able to get her to wear practical armor when preparing for situations where combat was expected, but it was a struggle to convince her to wear proper uniform at other times.

=== <div style="padding:10px 0px 15px 30px;background:#FFE4E1;font-size:14px;color:#000000;font-weight:bold;">Disposition</div> ===

Aya typically wears her personality on her sleeve. She is outgoing, social, with a clear orientation toward fun and pleasure. She has a significant caring and soft-hearted streak, that sometimes conflicts with her better sense, and often speaks before she thinks(sometimes leading to unexpected shyness). She generally prefers to avoid hard work, has expensive tastes for comfort and baubles, and will almost always take the easiest route to Gil when offered. Nonetheless, she has become significantly more responsible since fleeing Ishgard and encountering the difficulties of the real world shorn from the protective layer of her family, and can usually be counted on if it really matters.

Preferring shopping, relaxing, and most especially partying to hard work, these tendencies will almost always become obvious to even the most ambivalent observer.

[[File:Aya_portrait.png|left|thumb|Aya as a Barmaid in Ul'dah]]

[http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/showthread.php?tid=7871 Some stories from Aya's background]

==== <div style="padding:10px 0px 15px 30px;font-size:14px;color:#000000;font-weight:bold;">Ala Mhigan Refugee</div> ====
Born the youngest of three children into an upper class Ala Mhigan family steeped in a long warrior tradition, Aya was born into what should have been a life of relative luxury. All hope of such fortune was washed away among the flood of refugees fleeing the Kingdom ahead of the Imperial conquest. Living as refugees the family moved from city to city in a vain effort to call in old favors to find permanent settlement. After being turned away from every hope, including an extended stay near Limsa Lominsa, Aya's father finally made the decision he had been so loath to consider in the past: to call upon distant relatives who had settled as sellswords in Ishgard several generations in the past, the black sheep of the once prominent and proper family.

Unaware of their fortune to gain entrance to the city shortly before the gates were sealed to the outside world, their long lost relatives welcomed the family with the grudging acceptance of blood relatives. Unable to leave their past behind, Aya's parents adopted only the minimal necessary trappings of Ishgardian society. Refusing to abandon his pretensions her father quickly became a burden, followed by the eldest son intent upon claiming the trappings of an inheritance that had evaporated before his eyes. Loyal to a fault Aya's mother served her husband's every interest, pressing the children to accept his desires and command as they became ever less realistic. The two younger children grew closer to one another, as both proved more capable of adapting to their new social status.

The younger of Aya's brothers chose to become an apprentice weapon smith, planning to open his own shop and provide support for his parents, and if possible to repay the relatives to whom the entire family owes their survival. Aya meanwhile was drawn toward less productive, but equally rebellious endeavors. Despite their poverty, Aya's parents set her on the path to be schooled as a proper Lady befitting her station. Of the arts and manners she studied as a child, her favorite quickly became dancing. As an adolescent she embraced a social circle that skirted the edges of "acceptable" society, preferring the fun, excitement, attention, and notoriety to be found in the world of taverns, and underground clubs. Finding that she could earn gil as a dancer and entertainer Aya completely abandoned her ties to the social circles her parents still clung to in their vaingloriousness.

==== <div style="padding:10px 0px 15px 30px;font-size:14px;color:#000000;font-weight:bold;">Flight, Gridania, and the Hungry Wolf</div> ====
[[File:Aya_stretch.jpg|left|thumb|Credit: Jack Swift]]
Facing increasing pressure from her parents, and feeling a general alienation toward the accepted culture of Ishgard, Aya made the life-changing decision to escape from the city. Once in the outside world she made her way to Gridania with a purse that rapidly grew bare. She managed to find employment at the Roost as a barmaid, where she was able to rent a room on a long-term basis. With an eye on greater prizes (and a blindness to the risks) she embraced the opportunity to find work as a sellsword with a Free Company she had come to know through work, thus Aya came to the Hungry Wolf.

Although she had mislead the Company on her experience and capability, Aya proved a quick study, albeit it a tentative combatant. Over the course of her several months long employment by the Hungry Wolf, she took part in a small number of actual combat operations, while generally avoiding dangerous assignments. Focused primarily on patrol and sentry work, she finished her time with the Company overseeing patrols that covered the Gridania to Coerthas road, stationed at Fallgourd Float. The work was mild, and she supplemented decreasing pay by entertaining at the local inn. As the company floundered financially, the remaining members were released from their employment.

==== <div style="padding:10px 0px 15px 30px;font-size:14px;color:#000000;font-weight:bold;">Ul'dah: The Quick Sand</div> ====
Floating about without work, Aya returned to Gridania where she lived at the Roost, trying to make up her mind about what to do next, until expelled for failing to pay for her room. Desperate to find work again, and deciding it better to not further pursue her career as a mercenary, she decided to return to her previous employment, that of a barmaid. Deciding it unlikely that the Roost would turn around and offer her work so soon after the messy issue of her eviction, she opted to try a new city. Intimidated by Limsa's pirate culture, Aya opted to instead test the oppressive heat and culture of Ul'dah.

Momodi, the matron of the Quick Sand, the busiest drinking hole in the city of Ul'dah, and a hub of activity adventurous, legitimate, and illicit, saw potential in the young woman (perhaps believing that the tall blonde from the north might bring in business with her exotic looks) and quickly offered her a position as a barmaid. Along with a pittance of pay, she was provided with a small room (in the least desirable part of the building), board at discount, and the opportunity to keep any tips she would earn.

Aya's primary responsibility is tending to patrons sitting at the Quick Sand's tables, but she also sometimes assists customers at the bar itself, and can pour and mix some drinks to make things easier on Momodi. She's also been quick to help with the Quick Sand's menu, adding a variety of mixed fruit drinks (which she has come to consider something of a specialty), a variety of dishes, and nearly tripling the volume of Gridanian Mead sold with her frequent recommendation of the import.

== <div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#FFC0CB;font-size:18px;color:#000000;"><b>Combat</b></div> ==
<spoiler>
Although she is no longer a sell sword, Aya's training and experience with the Hungry Wolf remains a crucial aspect of who she is. Regardless of her desire to avoid any violent situation, she remains rather better prepared for it than she would admit.

Aya's formal training in military skills has been as a Lancer. Accepting early lessons from the Wood Wailers, and later trained by the Hungry Wolf, she is naturally well-suited to the weapon. Physically fit and athletic she is able to utilize the leverage-advantage of the weapon to a great extent, while maintaining distance from her opponent. Although tentative to enter combat, once engaged she fights with a raw tenacity and viciousness that the Hungry Wolf seek to instill in all of their fighters. She would rather avoid danger if at all possible, but if forced she will kill or be killed. Quick and graceful she relies on rapid and precise movements en lieu of brute force, utilizing surprise and distraction to create opportunities to exploit with the goal of inflicting debilitating injuries. To utilize her impressive leg strength she makes frequent use of kicking and jumping attacks, often in conjunction with the lance to create difficult to defend sequences of strikes. Most experienced soldiers would still consider her an amateur, but one still capable of being a sometimes surprising threat in hand-to-hand combat.

She is familiar with archery, which was one of her childhood hobbies, one which she has rediscovered in the Shroud which prizes skill with the bow and arrow, and offers much to teach the interested amateur.

She has been trained in standard Hungry Wolf military tactics which included basic forestry, and long-range small-group coordination. Stealth, ambush, and surprise-attack training has formed a major portion of her education in tactics. Her recent promotion has made her technically responsible for small squad command within the Company, she has never commanded units in the field and is likely unprepared.</spoiler>

==== <div style="padding:10px 0px 15px 30px;font-size:14px;background:#FFE4E1;color:#000000;font-weight:bold;">Opportunity for Employment</div> ====

Aya's primary work is at the Quick Sand, but she remains ever on the lookout for other opportunities for employment to supplement her income. While no longer interested in mercenary work, she would still consider a wide variety of opportunities (especially if the gil were good).
*Entertaining
*Modelling
*Barmaiding/Bartending an event (though she would probably rather attend!)
*She might consider any other non-violent opportunities that come her way!

Note: These are characteristic behaviors that Aya always displays, even when not indicated directly through emotes.
* Although she was recently a sell sword, she betrays no hint of this in appearance or manner.
* Her body language is graceful and feminine.
* She speaks with an Ishgardian accent
* When dealing with someone who she believes is from the Ishgardian Houses, her manner will be considerably less friendly than usual
* At times hints of a sharp intellect can be found behind all of the bright, silly, cluelessness

She generally prefers to avoid hard work, has expensive tastes for comfort and baubles, and will almost always take the easiest route to Gil when offered. Nonetheless, she has become significantly more responsible since fleeing Ishgard and encountering the difficulties of the real world shorn from the protective layer of her family, and can usually be counted on if it really matters.

Preferring shopping, relaxing, and most especially partying to hard work, these tendencies will almost always become obvious to even the most ambivalent observer.

[http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/showthread.php?tid=7871 Some stories from Aya's background]

==== <div style="padding:10px 0px 15px 30px;font-size:14px;color:#000000;font-weight:bold;">Ala Mhigan Refugee</div> ====
Born the youngest of three children into an upper class Ala Mhigan family steeped in a long warrior tradition, Aya was born into what should have been a life of relative luxury. All hope of such fortune was washed away among the flood of refugees fleeing the Kingdom ahead of the Imperial conquest. Living as refugees the family moved from city to city in a vain effort to call in old favors to find permanent settlement. After being turned away from every hope, including an extended stay near Limsa Lominsa, Aya's father finally made the decision he had been so loath to consider in the past: to call upon distant relatives who had settled as sellswords in Ishgard several generations in the past, the black sheep of the once prominent and proper family.

Unaware of their fortune to gain entrance to the city shortly before the gates were sealed to the outside world, their long lost relatives welcomed the family with the grudging acceptance of blood relatives. Unable to leave their past behind, Aya's parents adopted only the minimal necessary trappings of Ishgardian society. Refusing to abandon his pretensions her father quickly became a burden, followed by the eldest son intent upon claiming the trappings of an inheritance that had evaporated before his eyes. Loyal to a fault Aya's mother served her husband's every interest, pressing the children to accept his desires and command as they became ever less realistic. The two younger children grew closer to one another, as both proved more capable of adapting to their new social status.

The younger of Aya's brothers chose to become an apprentice weapon smith, planning to open his own shop and provide support for his parents, and if possible to repay the relatives to whom the entire family owes their survival. Aya meanwhile was drawn toward less productive, but equally rebellious endeavors. Despite their poverty, Aya's parents set her on the path to be schooled as a proper Lady befitting her station. Of the arts and manners she studied as a child, her favorite quickly became dancing. As an adolescent she embraced a social circle that skirted the edges of "acceptable" society, preferring the fun, excitement, attention, and notoriety to be found in the world of taverns, and underground clubs. Finding that she could earn gil as a dancer and entertainer Aya completely abandoned her ties to the social circles her parents still clung to in their vaingloriousness.

==== <div style="padding:10px 0px 15px 30px;font-size:14px;color:#000000;font-weight:bold;">Flight, Gridania, and the Hungry Wolf</div> ====
[[File:Aya_stretch.jpg|left|thumb|Credit: Jack Swift]]
Facing increasing pressure from her parents, and feeling a general alienation toward the accepted culture of Ishgard, Aya made the life-changing decision to escape from the city. Once in the outside world she made her way to Gridania with a purse that rapidly grew bare. She managed to find employment at the Roost as a barmaid, where she was able to rent a room on a long-term basis. With an eye on greater prizes (and a blindness to the risks) she embraced the opportunity to find work as a sellsword with a Free Company she had come to know through work, thus Aya came to the Hungry Wolf.

Although she had mislead the Company on her experience and capability, Aya proved a quick study, albeit it a tentative combatant. Over the course of her several months long employment by the Hungry Wolf, she took part in a small number of actual combat operations, while generally avoiding dangerous assignments. Focused primarily on patrol and sentry work, she finished her time with the Company overseeing patrols that covered the Gridania to Coerthas road, stationed at Fallgourd Float. The work was mild, and she supplemented decreasing pay by entertaining at the local inn. As the company floundered financially, the remaining members were released from their employment.

==== <div style="padding:10px 0px 15px 30px;font-size:14px;color:#000000;font-weight:bold;">Ul'dah: The Quick Sand</div> ====
Floating about without work, Aya returned to Gridania where she lived at the Roost, trying to make up her mind about what to do next, until expelled for failing to pay for her room. Desperate to find work again, and deciding it better to not further pursue her career as a mercenary, she decided to return to her previous employment, that of a barmaid. Deciding it unlikely that the Roost would turn around and offer her work so soon after the messy issue of her eviction, she opted to try a new city. Intimidated by Limsa's pirate culture, Aya opted to instead test the oppressive heat and culture of Ul'dah.

Momodi, the matron of the Quick Sand, the busiest drinking hole in the city of Ul'dah, and a hub of activity adventurous, legitimate, and illicit, saw potential in the young woman (perhaps believing that the tall blonde from the north might bring in business with her exotic looks) and quickly offered her a position as a barmaid. Along with a pittance of pay, she was provided with a small room (in the least desirable part of the building), board at discount, and the opportunity to keep any tips she would earn.

Aya's primary responsibility is tending to patrons sitting at the Quick Sand's tables, but she also sometimes assists customers at the bar itself, and can pour and mix some drinks to make things easier on Momodi. She's also been quick to help with the Quick Sand's menu, adding a variety of mixed fruit drinks (which she has come to consider something of a specialty), a variety of dishes, and nearly tripling the volume of Gridanian Mead sold with her frequent recommendation of the import.

== <div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#FFC0CB;font-size:18px;color:#000000;"><b>Combat</b></div> ==
<spoiler>
Although she is no longer a sell sword, Aya's training and experience with the Hungry Wolf remains a crucial aspect of who she is. Regardless of her desire to avoid any violent situation, she remains rather better prepared for it than she would admit.

Aya's formal training in military skills has been as a Lancer. Accepting early lessons from the Wood Wailers, and later trained by the Hungry Wolf, she is naturally well-suited to the weapon. Physically fit and athletic she is able to utilize the leverage-advantage of the weapon to a great extent, while maintaining distance from her opponent. Although tentative to enter combat, once engaged she fights with a raw tenacity and viciousness that the Hungry Wolf seek to instill in all of their fighters. She would rather avoid danger if at all possible, but if forced she will kill or be killed. Quick and graceful she relies on rapid and precise movements en lieu of brute force, utilizing surprise and distraction to create opportunities to exploit with the goal of inflicting debilitating injuries. To utilize her impressive leg strength she makes frequent use of kicking and jumping attacks, often in conjunction with the lance to create difficult to defend sequences of strikes. Most experienced soldiers would still consider her an amateur, but one still capable of being a sometimes surprising threat in hand-to-hand combat.

She is familiar with archery, which was one of her childhood hobbies, one which she has rediscovered in the Shroud which prizes skill with the bow and arrow, and offers much to teach the interested amateur.

She has been trained in standard Hungry Wolf military tactics which included basic forestry, and long-range small-group coordination. Stealth, ambush, and surprise-attack training has formed a major portion of her education in tactics. Her recent promotion has made her technically responsible for small squad command within the Company, she has never commanded units in the field and is likely unprepared.</spoiler>

==== <div style="padding:10px 0px 15px 30px;font-size:14px;background:#FFE4E1;color:#000000;font-weight:bold;">Opportunity for Employment</div> ====

Aya's primary work is at the Quick Sand, but she remains ever on the lookout for other opportunities for employment to supplement her income. While no longer interested in mercenary work, she would still consider a wide variety of opportunities (especially if the gil were good).
*Entertaining
*Modelling
*Barmaiding/Bartending an event (though she would probably rather attend!)
*She might consider any other non-violent opportunities that come her way!

Note: These are characteristic behaviors that Aya always displays, even when not indicated directly through emotes.
* Although she was recently a sell sword, she betrays no hint of this in appearance or manner.
* Her body language is graceful and feminine.
* She speaks with an Ishgardian accent
* When dealing with someone who she believes is from the Ishgardian Houses, her manner will be considerably less friendly than usual
* At times hints of a sharp intellect can be found behind all of the bright, silly, cluelessness

'''Jancis Milburga''', a [[Category:Hyur|midlander hyur]], is an merchant's daughter orphaned in the Twelveswood and forced to come into her own.
==<div style="background: #BEBEBE; padding: 0.5em;">''Appearance''</div>==
Jancis is overall quite plain in her manner of attire and appearance; though she keeps herself kept she does not follow the fashion or trends of higher classes or wear makeup.
Her hands are soft and she'll typically wear gloves to protect them. [[http://imgur.com/a/7x8pw Album of References]]

Jancis has an alto voice range and no vocal training.

'''Beyond what the character actually wears:'''
*Around her neck is a simple chain holding a handmade ring with a lapis lazuli gem in it.
*Has a plain handkerchief of cotton (not always the same one she constantly gives it away).
*Typically has a small book-sized satchel containing basic medical supplies, a map, and a waterskin.
*There is a wand or other natural-wood on her person or in her satchel.

'''Scars:'''
*A knife scar across her cheek done in a traditional design which has stretched and faded as she's come into adulthood. Received as a child.
*A keloid scar with a spider-like style with thin branches on her stomach and on her lower back; gotten from being impaled with a conjured stalagmite from [[Melfice Vainchelon]] in disguise.
*Right shoulder has small jagged scars from the claws and teeth of a possessed imp attack. Received while rescuing [[L'aenoh Tia]] from a dark blood mage.
*Three indented slots on her left side starting at her lower ribs which look like a giant fork stabbed her (which is what happened). Inflicted by [[Augustine Frost]] while under the influence of "Pink Primal" [[Memeli Meli]].
*Left arm has speckled skin coloring from burns and aether damage, a mix caused by [[Jana Ridah]], [[Delial Grimsong]], and fighting Louvel for [[Ja'ren A'lenthin]].

==<div style="background: #BEBEBE; padding: 0.5em;">''General Demeanor''</div>==
Jancis is awkward socially, ranging from blunt questions to over elaborate sentences as if talking in a storybook.
She calls nearly everyone by some kind of title and will avoid saying the name of people she does not care about.

Having a kind heart, Jancis is very patient and forgiving with others. She's happiest when she is feeling useful and is a good follower.
Has a soft spot for children and young animals, but in general she's very 'hands on' touching people on their arms or shoulders and taking their hands to make connection.

Fearless and willing to speak up to bring about understanding and clarification on matters she finds to be wrong, particularly if it is hurting someone.
Defensive of friends and allies, or those she deems in duress, she will stand up in protection and literally block words or physical attempts of harm.

==<div style="background: #BEBEBE; padding: 0.5em;">''Combat - Views/Behavior''</div>==
[[File:Mark Crilley Manga Shading.jpg|350px|right]]
*<b>Skills</b>
:*While not very smart in battle, Jancis does not fear it. She will go in and try to support everyone she's an ally with regardless of her own safety.
:*As a conjurer, Jancis is sensitive to the elements and through training has become more sensitive to the aether and magicks around people she's close to, giving her an edge on healing serious conditions at crucial times.
:*She's light of foot and quick to find a place she thinks will not hinder her allies.
:*She is trained in poisons and venoms, taking them herself in small doses to build up an immunity. She will use it as a rudimentary attack by throwing and misting as a distraction.
:*Trained with basics of a shield and staff. Usually does not have both at once and will two-hand whichever she has. Carries a wand and has natural items on her person at all times to form conjuration.

*<b>Weaknesses</b>
:*Jancis is typically too preoccupied watching her allies she fails to watch out for herself and would be an easy target.
:*Her strength and dexterity in a fight is not too keen and she would easily fall in one-on-one battle.
:*Her ability to "read" aether is a novice level, so things that are unnatural or done by an arcanist she cannot undo by the same means. She can do little more than sense the presence of aether.
:*Being a conjurer, she relies on her voice to call out to the elements to assist her. Anything that would hinder that or interrupt her would leave her to rely on physical abilities alone.

==<div style="background: #BEBEBE; padding: 0.5em;">''Tendencies''</div>==
[[File:Jancis Milburga 16-bits - by Ilweran zpsregqfop1.gif|right]]
:*Jancis grew up mostly on her own out in the wild of the Shroud. Her habits and words do not follow current culture 100%; she will use odd terms and not understand idioms.
:*Wearing pants her entire childhood, she compensates for typical 'style' by wearing leggings.
:*Apologizes constantly.
:*Tends to be hands-on with people, touching their arm or shoulder, and does not understand the concept of personal space.
:*Gives everyone a title, typically using their first name along with it. Lord, Lady, Master, Sir [[http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/showthread.php?tid=8054&pid=103830#pid103830 Resource]]

Becomign marked himself, he's called everyone affected together to share information and come to a resolution.
*See if he can help with L'aenoh's condition
'''Past Events'''

♠ '''[[Alveo Soulseeker]]''' - Jancis met Alveo while working as a support in the same Free Company and ended up having feelings for the sailor. Once recovered from his life-long ordeal, they confessed their feelings for one another and were to be wed.<spoiler>
'''Past Events'''
*Uponing joining the Harbingers of Dawn company, Jancis got wrapped up in a personal condition of one of the soldiers. By chance missing the worst of his afflicted curse; she ended up trusting Alveo and his companion Rynn.
:*While mostly being forced to be a source of outsider support, Jancis continued to bring aid and deal with the awkward man with a gruff demeanor. She was there when Alveo defeated Illear, freeing himself, and found him to be much more than a cold husk.
*Looking to prove her worth and ease the conscious of her beloved, Jancis joined the Maelstrom as a medic. Unknown to her, this only caused her lover more worry and concern. Her current work has her going along the coastal towns assisting the locals with their ailments and concerns.
*''Al-well that ends well'': After many trips North to find her beloved and assist him in his ordeals and endeavors, Jancis continued to find only traces left behind by the man. Contacting his other friends and mentors, whom had not heard of his ventures nor received word back from him, as well as sending multiple letters she was assisted in the end by another friend who confirmed Alveo was actively receiving her correspondence and was going on his own missions of his own accord. Though heartbroken, she learned to live with his decision and discontinued her trips North or holding out for contact; knowing his indecision before about a life of settling down and his refusal to put her into danger clearly trumped any importance she held on his heart previously.
*Being brave and strong-headed in a rare occasion, Jancis lost her proper demeanor with Sir Filangieri which led to a complicated encounter with the two. Alveo finding out and taking it poorly, Jancis decided in order to "forgive herself" to take up a huge amount of debt to protect Alveo. Jancis was indebted to Lady Tasa.
:*Reuniting with Alveo by chance while working, he convinced her that they could "go home", but the soldier's true intentions were to goad the knight Sir Filangieri into a fight. After being humiliated in front of the others, Jancis was strained with thoughts of giving up on her beloved. The situation was more compounded by his additional apologies and a very intimate offer. Jancis' trust in Alveo has improved dramatically from the sailor's continued efforts to compromise with the stubborn knight.
*Key events including rejoining the Maelstrom, night of the Pumpkin Cafe opening, and Dhemgeim's nameday celebration have solidified Jancis' commitment to Alveo.
*In a show of loyalty and to give Alveo clarity, Jancis has entrusted him with her most precious possession: a silver charm bracelet, infant-sized, with a seashell-shaped charm bearing the engraving "L.F.".
*At Alveo's lack of concern and mix-up that he intended to take on a near suicidal job for a shady mercenary group, she struck him. Anytime this is brought up, Jancis feels very guilty.
*Alveo proposed on the 30th Sun of the 3rd Umbral Moon, after the Grindstone they traveled to the Sagoii Desert where the two had first realized how much they cared for one another. While Jancis did not grow up knowing such culture of marriage outside of fictional books, she is excited about the title and reacts to it, particularly from Alveo.
*With a surprising change, Alveo has gone North to assist his mentor in an emergency call. Cleaning out their home and resigning from his position with the Coral Sea and the Maelstrom.
*With little word of his departure, Jancis finds his mentor and learns he has no information on his departure nor had insight of it, much as he does not care for the woman.

Continues to do the best for this "hunter" as far as dealing with his wounds and problems from his past. Jancis now cooks a particular skillet bread specifically avoiding baking for his sake. Also is very protective of the man and will put up with most anything he dishes out, but continues to fail to protect him from harm since healing is a large ordeal for the man. He is something of a weakness for Jancis, getting upset easily about someone threatening to harm him or actually harming him. Other names "Ganzjaega", "Abarsoemr", referred to as "Sir L'aenoh"<spoiler>

'''Current Goals'''
*Understand the glyph on his back and find a way to remove it.
*Talk him out of relying on Hnaba's 'mentor' for his problems.
'''Past Events'''
*Jancis truly met the man after Dhemgeim impaled Captain Renaud, particularly for glaring at Alveo.
*While baking cupcakes with Hnaba and Memeli, Jancis takes a look at the empty socket L'aenoh's eye was in, which he hadn't cleaned. She insists on cleaning it out and finds out more about the hornet that stung it and festered. First hint that the man cannot be healed, but Jancis completely misses it.
*Touch based on with dealing with the man's odd behavior of staying away from everyone, particularly Zhen. The two later on drifted apart.
*''Hunting the Hunter;What is Love? Hnaba Don't Hurt Me, Don't Hurt me, No more..''L'aenoh Tia is kidnapped from the Coral House which leads into a nightmarish love crush with a demented woman and the painful aftermath.
:*L'aenoh is taken from the Coral house, Still Shore, by force.
:*Following any leads she can find regarding the struggle and kidnapping of his man which has led her to Gridania. Following her Guildmaster's urgings that the elements speak of a disturbance in the Central Shroud along with fellow company members Tausenadel Geispyrsyn, Q'nagali Yehn, Guillaume Rigolant, and Hnaba Jinjahl. As Hnaba leaves to search other leads, the other four find Hnaba at the place of the disturbance alone; a house covered in blood with an obvious place of capture with other such horrors of gore. Confronting the miqo'te, Hnaba slips down a secret passage in the floor which the other give chase on.
:*The group finally catch up to Hnaba in a defiled spire, surrounded by imp-like creatures that cry out thankfully in men's voices when slain. The fight proves difficult, knocking out Q'nagali and Guillaume from severe injuries, but eventually the remaining Coral manage to subdue the insane woman.
:*After much probing and being forced to a point to batter Hnaba with her shield, L'aenoh is found still clinging to life in a cell. Jancis' is particularly troubled by another corpse that is found in the search that was dressed up in L'aenoh's clothes but was burnt to death. The only way she could tell it was not the miqo'te was his eyepatch was on the wrong side.
:*Recovering and returning to the Padjal E-Sumi-Yan, Hnaba is handed over to the Wood Wailers and the rest of the company's wounds are treated by the conjurers. The same evening, L'aenoh is found by Staefrue wandering south back towards La Noscea. Panicked, Jancis give chase on foot to the wounded man. Unable to deny his tortured request the three travel to their house, the Still Shore, aggravating Jancis' wounds. Having to backtrack to Gridania and other locations, Jancis continues to delay her own healing and recovery.
:*Making a grave error in trying to heal L'aenoh further, Jancis resolves to find what Hnaba poisoned the man with and try it herself so she can duplicate the effects and find a potential treatment for it instead of the trial and error on someone else.
:*Getting help from Chuchukepa Hohokepa, Jancis finds out the main ingredient is somnus. Going to Ul'dah, she looks for a means to treat the withdrawal. L'aenoh also asks her personally to find something to deal with his shakes, be it from forcing the information from Hnaba or other means. Finding the notes of an late alchemist, Jancis goes to reproduce the detoxification serum in hopes it will help the hunter's pains.
:*Cici ends up helping Jancis with the main need of somnus through a mysterious "shadow knight" C'kayah Tia. Jancis is honored for the reason the man decided to help, as if he did not assist in the course of love, he would dishonor his guardian deity.
:*By using notes gained from a dead alchemist and adding in to the somnus a growing percentage of blood plasma and a purifying catalyst, Jancis was able to create a serum that could wean the person off their addiction and rebuild natural functions. While the serum itself takes a lot of blood and an illegal substance, the conjurer is relieved greatly that L'aenoh is able to recover without pain.
:*While recovering from battling the Leviathan, trouble comes from L'aenoh's room to find that Hnaba is there tied to a chair and beaten half to death. Jancis takes action in an ill-swept attempt to take the woman's life in a merciful and quiet manner (quiet as it can be with her screaming). The woman is kept in Stefan's room while L'aenoh mills over believing that she can deal with the seal on his back.
:*Learning that L'aenoh also has a aether flow problem, due to a arcane seal on his person, can contribute to his problem with healing and recovering from his addiction. A'rho Tia is looking into the seal and its structure. He is making the mistake of hoping Hnaba will shed light on his condition and the reason for it. [Scene]
:*After seeing the condition Hnaba is left in and also the house that L'aenoh and Staelufre have together far from the troubles in the Still Shore, Jancis gets L'aenoh to agree to finding out what he wishes in the next few days, or she will return Hnaba to Gridania.
:*Checking in on Hnaba in her 'prison', Jancis is abhorred to see the filthy and broken condition she is in. Franz Renatus fixed her hands and Jancis takes it on herself to wash up the woman. Chaska Dakwhil and Reginald Ozrik are also present, looking on as Jancis is forced to wash the crying Hnaba. Runes are found on the mattress in blood and removed by Franz.
:*Following days L'aenoh take Hnaba out to question her and find out about the seal on his neck, restricting his aether. Learning of a mentor in Southern Shroud, Hnaba is slain, much to the pain of Chaska and Reginald.
*Offers to take Jancis to the Starlight Ball, which she declines because he confesses he was going to ask Lady Edda first and only asked to make Oscare leave. L'aenoh does not trust the man for his blatant declarations of being Garlean.
*Learning that L'aenoh became part of Staelufre's "fury training", the man was wounded which upsets Jancis greatly. She stays the night to ensure their safety. [[http://i.imgur.com/JR20ZFV.png Scene]]
*Attended L'aenoh's bonding to Staelufre, hearing about a fight. In the end it all turned into word fluff, Jancis confirming it over and over.
*During and after helping X'kohu with corrupted crystals embedded in his body, the man kisses Jancis and tries to hold her. L'aenoh keeps a keen eye on the other miqo'te. Jancis bothers her friend for romance novels, or 'warm books' to help her cope with the lack of love.

♥ '''[[Lan Darklyn]]''' - The sword of the Harbingers and knight figure from the desert, Jancis ran into the man and (by chance) became fond of him. A semi-sad coincidence, Lan looks somewhat like Jancis' lost love, save for the short hair and sapphire eyes. The feelings were more complicated as she learned more of the man's past to nearly match with hyur fostering and training, as well as running into one another from short meetings long before. She nearly sees the man as the success she wanted for herself, and tries to assist the man in subtle ways so his life stays happy and prosperous unlike the 'twin' she fell in love with. "Saint Lan" "Sir Darklyn" "Lan".[[http://i.imgur.com/bPi3GGz.jpg Lan Darklyn]]<spoiler>

*Update with the status of the Red Ruby Assassins.
:*Telling Lan and Val about assassins she had been following, Jancis was also attacked and needed a safe house to stay in. Lan offered the hidden room behind his office, where she stayed for a fortnight to recover.
'''Past Events'''
*Jancis met early on in her travels and re-met at the auction. To keep the man from being bid on by his subordinate, Jancis gave the highest bid.
*Offered to assist her and the priests of Athlyk in pilgrimage and has continued to have the Harbingers involved, coordinating guards for Halone and having Arrelaine handle Menphina's pilgrimage.

*Leanne is out on a sojourn for a new bow and asked Jancis and Chachanji to watch over her room.

*Leanne down more than usual, Sir Gegenji thinks up a surprise party with friends to cheer her up. Jancis brings along a small book with a long poem that reminds her of the bard.
</spoiler>
♥ '''[[Memeli Meli]]''' - One of the Coral Sea, Memeli has a crazy reputation for being a caring bold company kin and a diabolical arcanist of unquestionable power. Jancis usually tolerates the lady's antics and is used as a piece of furniture by her. In case the lalafel tries to either slap or lie to Jancis, she has gotten into the habit of grabbing Meli's hair. Their continued relationship improves and Jancis has found a very soft and supportive spot for the strangely sweet lady. "Lady Meli"<spoiler>

*Unknown cosmic aetheric powers lie within.

'''Past Events'''
*''Meli the Primal'': After following along with another one of Memeli Meli pranks, many members are sent on a while goose chase for a riddling pantry thief. While "rewarding" Jancis, Meli's kiss leaves an enchantment that makes the conjurer obsess with the lalafel and her wishes.
:*From the serious insistent urging of Jezune Garinthe, Jancis shakes off the spell and is left confused as to what happened.
:*Later on, many others get entranced by Meli's trick and the company is forced to physically fight them to break the enchantment. Memeli gets grounded for her dangerous tricks.
:*In front of the Sultana's area, Jancis defends Memeli in that she did nothing wrong to the Jewel's ruler. Backed up by others of Coral Sea, they all leave.
:*After this ordeal and getting wounded in the transgression, Jancis is quick to pull on Meli's hair if she needs to and does not accept kisses from her.
::*Jancis has three "dash lines" from a lance wound (the lance was shaped like a fork) before of this prank.
*Has been invited to Memeli's room with other ladies for rituals Memeli calls "Slumber Parties". The ritual usually ends up speaking truths of life in the matters of love, eating a lot of sweets, and then falling asleep. [[http://files.enjin.com.s3.amazonaws.com/623462/module_gallery/original/2147469.jpg Scene]]
*Memeli is suffering, sleeping long times and having time lapses in memory. Searching her aether flow, the arcanist's body is flooded with a chaotic ramble of elemental aethers and none with her own distinctive natural mark on any of them. Realizing the woman has supplemented her own powers with random crystals, the fear of her contracting the same curse Dhemgeim had is alleviated. Working with Reinette to help purify the aether flow in Memeli, the condition clears up so the primal can return to her usual activities/schemes.[[http://files.enjin.com.s3.amazonaws.com/623462/module_gallery/original/2205273.jpg Scene]]

She continues to watch and visit the man, despite how much his rejection upsets her, doing her best as he ends up running off. "Oscare" "Sir Iono"<spoiler>
[[File:Ffxiv_11012014_182920.png|200px|right]]

*Has a family still alive and will talk of his father and two sisters in particular.
*Has a rosewood crane he carved, a mechanical toy man that shoots confetti he made, a rare aether-weaved red scarf, a card with the Queen of Diamonds on it, and a hair clip with feathers of a rare bird the man hunted.
'''Current Goals'''
*Reply to Oscare's letter and remark about her 'magic trick'
'''Past Events'''
*Aged Rumor: ''"It's almost like Nophica herself blessed that girl with the power of eternal kindness. If I ever met a gal nicer than her, I think I may just faint."''
*Jancis met Oscare at the Pumpkin Cafe while he was working as a bouncer along side Cici. Jancis was really taken from his care and concern over Cici's exhaustion, offering to walk them back to the city and giving up all his pay for a room at the inn.
:*After meeting that time, Oscare would often come up behind Jancis and cover her eyes, asking her to guess who he was.
:*After sending him a barrel of pears she picked to show gratitude to helping Cici, the man calls for Jancis over the Coral Linkshell. A ton of the company shows up for this meeting which intimidates the man, but Oscare ends up hugging Jancis and thanking her for the pears and gives her a picture book of his family.
*Jancis had gotten involved with a friend's contract to find a thief. Not knowing the ultimate plans, she knows the man has taken an important heirloom of Oscare's. With Alveo agreeing to assist, she took it to pursue the problem and help the tall hunter. After finding out the man who stole the bow is known to Oscare's family, the man was found in a hideout in the Shroud. Oscare and Alveo took on the group and recovered the heirloom ending in a nasty fight. [[http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/showthread.php?tid=5431&pid=91226#pid91226 Post]]
:*In a journal of family notes and pictures Oscare gave her, Jancis finds that in some of the pictures of Oscare and his dad, Oscare's dad was carrying a simple bow with a small piece of ruby on both ends of the bow. Overall, it looks like a standard longbow, but with gray and yellow stripes. Oscare's dad has the same skintone as Oscare, same purple eyes, and has vivid red hair.
*After the Grindstone contest where Oscare lost control and tried to kill Hornet, Jancis was charged with caring for the man the night after. Able to visit him at the Agents' bar briefly, Jancis noticed the scarring around his eyes and the color of his eyes a startling violet. Her trust in the man dwindles as he continues to fail controlling himself.
:*Oscare's comments over losing his memory with the Warrior Stone and his current mannerisms are recalling memories of another's actions and behavior, only to conflict Jancis all the more.
:*Ran off crying "I'm sorry." Repeatedly. Jancis has written the Iono family, hoping they have some kind of recourse to comforting the hunter.
:*Attempting to get others to assist in the troubles of the highlander, Jancis contacts Oscare's family for advice, the returning message is from Oscare himself in a very warm and confident letter asking to meet up with her.

:*Weeks after posters are put up around cities for a Starlight Ball, Oscare comes to the Coral household and, after some fiasco with injuries, Oscare manages to ask if Jancis requires an escort to the Ball in a very awkward and nervous manner.

::*Oscare attempts once again to ask the conjurer to the Ball, who is immediately snubbed by L'aenoh as he quickly debuffs the attempts by the highlander claiming he would escort the woman.
::*At the Ball itself, Oscare avoids Jancis the entire night, despite her attempts to see him and even offered to dance. After the fact she arrives at his quarters to offer and is once again rebuked.
*Oscare hosts a Story Time out in the cliffsides of La Noscea, where Jancis offers out snacks and tells a children's story about Minglo Moving the Mountain. [[http://i.imgur.com/VUm5jzl.jpg Scene]]
:*Oscare drops off a card from his company, the Agents, thanking Jancis and her company for their assistance in a dispute and discord in their own halls.
:*Getting advice from the bard [[Nathan Telluride]], Jancis once again attempts to help soften Oscare's demeanor and bring out the happy man she first met.
:*[[https://soundcloud.com/akirakosemura/light-dance-with-violin Oscare arrives at the Still Shore in a navy blue suit and performs on the violin as a gift to Jancis.]] "I am happy." "That is also a gift." "Maybe I do it for a reason?" [[http://i.imgur.com/N4zg1nT.jpg Scene]]
:*Oscare performs a song at Halone's pilgrimage which touches Jancis. Trying to hide over the impactful words with clapping, she overdoes it sending the man, once again, away.[[http://www.ffxiv-roleplayers.com/showthread.php?tid=9784&pid=140707#pid140707 Scene and Song]]
:*Coming to his quarters afterwards, Jancis is shown a magic trick with cards, and is given the Queen of Diamonds to hold onto while Oscare is in the field on a job.
*[[http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/showthread.php?tid=10301&pid=150675#pid150675 Received a poem from Oscare by the Solioquy performed by Ciel.]]
*Overhearing a bit of Oscare and some others at Leanne's party at the Bismarck, more people start coming to Jancis asking how the courtship is coming along and what Oscare is talking about. Trying to approach the man, along side Kale, both of them clam up.
:*At the party before the hunter leaves, he gives her a ruby-colored box. The box itself lovely, inside is a very rare scarf made of aether-imbued silk which always has a warmth. [[http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/showthread.php?tid=5431&pid=144680#pid144680 Scene and Sketch]]
*Working at the Grindstone, Oscare stops by with his face bruised and beaten. Jancis treats the nose and upper lip despite missing other wounds.[[http://i.imgur.com/DwobiX2.png Scene]]
*Being told she can request his presence 'when she wishes', Jancis invites the highlander to the farmlands in La Noscea to show him a 'magic trick' which is more or less a conjurer training exercise with wind and water. The trick ultimately lures birds to come fly around Oscare in search of seeds. Calling it 'beautiful' he runs off quickly afterward instead of smiling as she hoped.
*Called to the Goblet, Oscare presents her with a little mechanical toy she doesn't really understand beyond its amazing ability to spit out confetti and fanfare. A gift for Little Lady's Day. During so, he confirmed that his actions, gifts, and manner are a show of friendship and not an act of courtship.

By random chance the man continues to come to her for her opinion and now some of her work in dealing with concoctions. More concerned with the man's well-being, Jancis continues to learn and tolerate his extravagant lifestyle to get a glimpse of understanding this man's way of thinking. Very willing to help the man and is still amazed by the amount of detail the man can pay attention to; she cares deeply for the troubles that no one else seems privy to or could even fathom. "Otto" "Master Vann."<spoiler>
'''Notes'''
*Well-known for his clothing and jewelry line, particularly in Ul'dah.
'''Current Goals'''
*Go fishing with Otto.
'''Past Events'''
*Outside of the Drowning Wench, Otto Vann made an appearance, dressing up Rinilda and calling her "Shipbreaker" for her accentuated hips, Jancis makes an impression by making a recommendation on the look.
*Worked at Otto's Fight Club, a brief ring where brawls and hand-to-hand combat was for sport and gil.
*''You Otto Know'': Jancis continues to run into the artist "by chance" and ends up having strange and endearing conversations with. The man's lifestyle is confusing for the conjurer, but she does what she can to help this, overall, good-natured highlander.
:*Jancis is a part-time advisor for the man, trying as she might to make it more as a friendly favor than a paid service.
:*Not finding gil to be overly valuable herself, Jancis continues to turn down the abundance of wealth Otto offers her.
::*In lieu of monetary payment, Otto has gifted her a workspace consisting of a table, chairs, and some tools. He handmade a wardrobe from walnut and other Glade-natural wood and stocked it with a dress and other garments (she uses it for more storage like a pantry as well), and a quilted bed-like fur rug. Many plants as well.
:*In connection with the Sultansworn, Otto asks for Jancis' knowledge and connections with [[Coatleque Crofte]].
:*In a very kind gesture, Jancis has accepted his help in searching for her fiance, [[Alveo Soulseeker]], who hasn't been heard from in three months. Working with Otto's right-hand, [[Ridley Silverlake]] returns with news that Alveo's group was slain and the man is missing in action. She also provides other records of Alveo's activities, proving he has been moving and working beyond need to be away.
:*Though uninterested in the outskirts of Coerthas, Jancis comes to support Otto's fighting ring in comforting fighters and assisting with wounds.
:*Supplies Otto from time to time with a 'medicine' that consists of herbal concentrations of tea to assist the man in sleeping and keeping awake. The orbs are covered in chocolate and are almost more of a placebo as far as how potent the effects are.
:*After the murder of his love, Anna, Jancis hopes to find a way to help the powerful man cope without acting on pure vengeance.
:*Surprised with a luncheon treat, Otto takes Cici and Jancis out for finger sandwiches and pineapple juice on the beach of the Mist after Jancis' ordeal with the warehouse attack. Her body bruised and beaten, he insists she soaks in the shallows while he tells a random story of distraction. [[http://i.imgur.com/rqbJjHA.jpg Scene]]
::*Talking about her own problems, Otto has heard about one of the people who attacked Jancis and how wants to know the other woman's name. Jancis shares what little she knows from Cici, and Otto fills in the other details that it was Jana Ridah among others responsible. [[http://i.imgur.com/1P3qBZH.jpg Scene]]
:*Otto joins the Coral Sea's plight to cease the Leviathan's attack on the coastline and he gets wounded badly. Chaos ensues in the house, leaving Otto to deal with the pain with narcotics and semi-healing. Scarred by the show of weakness and embarrassment that the bruises and wounds would bring to a man of his status, he starts secretly training in lance-work pushing his body to extremes. Finally meeting up with the man, Jancis feels guilty and tries to apologize, but only ends up talking about other 'things of interest' like Leanne's heart and Jancis romantic situation with Z'enath.
::*Doing some simple stretching massage for Otto to help deal with his pain, she continues to look for him in this training so he has time to recover. [[http://i.imgur.com/2JkowNt.jpg Scene]]

</spoiler>
♦ '''[[Renaud Becquerel]]''' - Captain of the Coral Sea. Jancis knows very little of this man and finds him full of rumors and contrasting behavior, going between a caring father figure to a careless and ruthless figurehead.

</spoiler>
♥ '''[[Reinette Sompt]]''' - Alchemist and the Practitioner of the Coral Sea, Jancis admires the pacifist for her determination and benevolence. She also delights in the many books belonging to the elezen woman. Jancis follows the lady's direction particularly in the welfare and care for the others in the company. "Lady Reinette"<spoiler>
'''Notes'''
*Her right hand is severly burnt from what Jancis knows as a fireplace accident, though it is clear the wound has many layers of old scar tissue and neglect.
*Keeps notes and records of her lost mentor which shocked and tramatized the woman severely. Jancis knows the man had a tragic ending (though in reality he was tested on victims and the like which has eluded the conjurer's knowledge and leads her astray in comforting the woman.)
'''Current Goals'''
*Make good on Reinette's offer to pray together, given after the pilgrimage to [[Nald'thal, the Trader]].
*Try to mend the wounds between the lady and her love with neglect and selfishness.
:*After asking Sigurd about his lack of attention to her and how busy the woman is, the man confessed he is self-focused and his offers have gone unanswered. Jancis has confronted Reinette about this clash, getting an answer from the lady that she is unsure how she feels and has kept her distance.

While her and many others posed as slaves to find the whereabouts of [[Chuchukepa Hohokepa]]'s mother, one was harrassing Reinette to the point that Jancis stepped in and 'fought' off the woman for the man's attentions. After being successful and fight broke out and Jancis conjured a large boulder upon the man which ended up causing fatal damage. Surprised at the outcome of not disabling the man, Jancis still feels remorse for the encounter, but heartened that Reinette was not forced into the situation more.
*Prayer leader for pilgrimages to [[Lore:The Twelve|the Twelves' stones]] including Nald'thal and Nophica.
*Assisted with dealing with [[Memeli Meli]]'s aether condition, which had bad timing with the First Mate's death and instilled fear that the curse passed on to the lalafell. Sitting in a simple ceremony of purified soil and crystals, Jancis was able to channel aether to clear out Memeli's flow from all the toxic randomness she sucked in before.</spoiler>
♦ '''[[Roen Deneith]]''' - A quiet awkward lady, Jancis tries to see all of the good and pain that she's been told about in the woman. She treats her kindly and is curious about her. "Lady Deneith"<spoiler>

</spoiler>
♦ '''[[Sigurd Rainecourt]]''' - Thaumaturge of the Coral Sea, Jancis views the man with regard for his intelligence and natural ability to reason with just about anyone. She holds more empathy and compassion for the man after being used as a scapegoat for Lady Dhemgeim's death on top of the mysterious tragic past the man has only mentioned before. Jancis listens to him for his eloquence and ability to haggle/barter any deal as well as his abilities to coerce others. "Master Sigurd" "Sigurd"<spoiler>

*Gets seasick easily, even on simple ferries or calm waters.
*Has a pet coblyn named Cookie, which is very protective of his territory, Sigurd's room.
'''Current Goals'''
*Confront the man on his treatment of Lady Reinette. During induction, Jancis had a chance to speak with Sigurd, encouraging him to not let Reinette be too busy for his company. Asking about it again, he has tried to send the lady cards and gifts of fruit and offers to spend time with her to no reply. Jancis asks Reinette about her quiet behavior, encouraging the woman to at least tell him she needs time.
*Support him after being alienated and despised by the majority of the company.
*Follow-up with him in hoping he can assist with Gwenoline's mark on Jancis. Taking time in the deepest halls of the Ossuary, the man remarkably finds an ancient book talking of a Gwendolyn and her succubus-style abilities.
'''Past Events'''
*Prayer leader for pilgrimages to [[Lore:The Twelve|the Twelves' stones]] for Nald'thal.

:*A wall falling on the mysterious tower by Bronze Lake, dubbed the Wanderer's Palace, the group runs across a siege by saragin on a small group of tonberries which somewhat disrupts the groups' goal to find Chachanji's lost brother.
*Got to assist searching for the mysterious Maelstrom officer Derrick Drake which led the two, along with Tausen and Monty, on a whilwind chase that ran into a crazy highlander with a trust in manly muscles. Surprisingly, Sigurd was no slouch and was forced to flex to earn enough reputation to continue the search.
*During the terrible ordeal of trying to find a cure for Lady Dhemgeim's condition, a spell is used in quick timing which fails, taking the woman's life. Blamed for the death, Sigurd is put on trial for disobeying a direct order. Viewing everyone's pain and anger being directed at the mage as a means to making him a scapegoat for the numerous complications, Jancis defends the man bringing up the moral obligation he had to at least attempt to save the dying First Mate.
</spoiler>
♦ '''[[Staelufre Lysmerl]]''' - The wild lady and namesake of the Coral Sea's home. Over time Jancis has grown grateful and closer to the Staelufre after the ordeals her lover and the advice they have given one another.

</spoiler>
♠ '''[[Tasa Rhyzul]]''' - The hardened warrior with a subtle softer side, Jancis met Tasa while preparing with the company to save their leader. Despite Tasa's brash demeanor, she is a wise woman with a lot of heart and patience for the less experienced and has earned quite a bit of Jancis' respect. She is technically the warrior's indentured servant as she pays back a debt and is bidden to comply with any requests Tasa makes, though the lady does not enforce it. Believed dead.<spoiler>
[[File:Tasapic.png|200px|right]]
'''Past Events'''
*Meeting the warrior, Tasa becomes a love and confident of Cici, and Jancis comes along on different training and rituals between the two including sparring with Sir Filangieri, soaking at the hot springs, and drinking endeavors.
*Looking to relieve Alveo of all the debt he has accrued, Tasa agrees to repay the majority of it from her vast amount of wealth. Jancis feels a need to repay Lady Tasa for her generosity and kindness. Convinced the warrior isn't actually pushing for reimbursement, she looks for other ways to be loyal and giving.
:*After Lady Tasa effectively "proposed" to Jancis, the conjurer feels that she's not obligated to help the warrior out of a gil contract and more to be kind in general. Also, Jancis encouraged her to talk to Cici about their relationship. Tasa took her up on the advice, effectively moving from romantic attraction to more platonic.
</spoiler>
♥ '''[[Tausenadel Geispyrsyn]]''' - Sailor in Coral Sea with a jovial soul and a knack for cooking, Jancis revers the man for his manly expression of compassion and his ways of dealing with bad situations under pressure. One of the leaders Jancis will take seriously. Considering all that has happened, Jancis tries to do whatever will make him comfortable, but is fairly sure his heart and spirit went to sea with his dead wife. "Tausen"<spoiler>
[[File:Tau-Wiki-Ava.jpg|200px|right]]

*Father was a servant in Ishgard, but was swept away to a life at sea at a very young age.
'''Current Goals'''

'''Past Events'''
*Jancis met him during his grand return from overhearing his story of living through the temptations from Garuda herself.
*Received a pet coblyn, which is something of a managable runt, for telling a story during his campfire time together.
*Living together in the Coral house, Jancis has been fed and even cared for after a slavery ruse gone wrong, staying on Tausen's cot for the night after killing a man for attempting to touch Lady Reinette.
*Worked with Tausen along with fellow company members Naga and Guil. The most reliable of the party, they find out that Hnaba has been misleading them the entire time and in a grueling fight barely make it out with L'aenoh still alive.
:*Later on when Hnaba is brought by force to the Coral house, despite Jancis' protests, the conjurer is injured trying to give the wicked woman peace. Tausen follows Jancis to her room and tries to console her while also rebute the old miqo'te's nonsense rambling with the problem of bringing trouble to the company's own walls.
*With cunning knowledge, Tausen is one of the few to figure out Memeli's clues to recovering all the food in the Coral pantry from her hijinks. With the reward of a kiss, Dhemgeim, Tausenadel, and Jancis all succumb to Memeli's 'pink tempering'. He's one of the first to recover from the lalafel's whims.
*Attended the wedding of Dhemgeim and Tausenadel, which filled the entire Sanctum of the Twelve and celebrations lasted long into the night.
*Mocked in a story written by Chaska, Jancis looks to get an apology for Tausenaden for being a victim in the obvious attack on herself. Finding out that Jancis has made a terrible mistake and Chaska has no idea about the story itself. She still does not know who tried to humiliate Tausen.
*Attended a Turnsday celebration that Tausen was at, helping the man leave when a drunk lady was starting to hang off the man.[[http://i.imgur.com/BEq3OhL.jpg Scene]]
*After Lady Dhemgeim's death, she tried to help the man recover by failed and has doubts the man will return from his sojourn to the north truly, only visiting now and then instead. [[http://i.imgur.com/uhUmnCa.jpg Scene]]

'''Notes'''
*Close to J'azhar
'''Current Goals'''
*''Dance of the Red Lotus'': Jancis receives a curious red stone at a Valentoine present from an curious group. Little did she know it was for a vile purpose with Sir Vashir's life hanging in the balance.
:*A small crimson gemstone, flat and about the size of Jancis' palm, arrives in the mail. The symbol of a Crane is somehow carved within it. Attached is a letter written on fresh parchment in clear neat script: ''Dearest friend, In the spirit of the newest holiday, we are distributing blessings of prosperity to all. Please accept this gemstone and think of it as a token of good fortune. -- Sisters of the Red Lotus --''
::*The aether within the gem is very subtle. It almost seems to trace along her own with feather-light touches, but doesn't take or steal energy. It is not entirely innocuous however. Ethereal strands of aether from countless outside sources in all directions funnel towards the red gem. They all trace along your own, almost like an exploratory caress, before moving like a river to some distant location. The gem is using Jancis as a focus. And while it does not absorb her aether - it is certainly using some aspect of it for some unknown purpose.
:*Telling Lady Leanne about the curious stone she received, Leanne is surprised and ends up having one of her own, the Harp. She warns Jancis about the subtle convincing voices that come from the stone and how she cannot bear to leave it.
:*Following up on this with Tiergan later on, she finds out more from Staelufre on the docks of the Mist, and agrees to help close the lotus that is slowly draining the man's aether away.
:*Sharing with Living Ember because of a cake wish the lady made, the two agree to practice testing Jancis' ability to follow the aether trails to find more of the people involved with the lotus to close the petals.

♥ '''[[Val Nunh]]''' - A uncooth fighter, Jancis met Val while she was being evaluated to study under the Harbingers. Catching her attention with the nickname "Milly", Jancis has built up a respect for the miqo'te for his realistic and kind-hearted views as well as his honestly in all matters. She tries to keep in touch with the man and support his feelings of usefulness and wanted. Sends him random items with cards, particular naming the item. "Val".<spoiler>

*Visiting one another in the Mist to return something of Aya's, the two have time to catch up with one another where Jancis awkwardly asks for advice concerning tails and fighting.
*Date Auction before Starlight. Seeing Val up on stage to be pawned off to anyone, Jancis takes on debt to win. She brushes off his offer to pay her back.

♠ '''[[Z'enath Vashyr]]''' - A Free Paladin of Ul'dah and accomplished swordsman. Has a smile that always catches her off-guard. Jancis would ask for his help and wrote him often; struggling with the amount of attention and reverence he gave her. Coming to care and love the man deeply, she will often look sad and longing at random times after being reminded of his absence. Believed in hiding and incognito to find assassins linked to his past or killed by them. His loss resulted in Jancis dealing with a long recovery and lack of desire in many respects. [[http://imgur.com/a/Azdqa#0 Random images of Z'enath and Jancis]].<spoiler>
[[File:ZenProfilep.png|200px|right]]
'''Notes'''
*Owns a home that his caretaker/father left to him in the Mist. Jancis keeps it clean and sits there time to time.
*Would Sneak her flowers every time they met. Jancis still has many of them pressed and saved in a book.
*Has a painted map and sketch of herself from him among other trinkets.
*Refers to his eyes as garnets and his presence as "the sunrise of a new day".
'''Past Events'''
*Finding him cheerful and inspiring, the two became more than friends after his continued assistance and support.
*''His Name Was Z'enath'': Remembered from her past, Jancis is reunited the who takes her life into a new path and whose departure leaves her waiting.
:*While travelling back to Gridania, Jancis was confronted by a swordsman with red eyes. His eagerness to speak to her and find out who she was after a simple "hello" blossomed into reuniting with one of the first people Jancis assisted after her isolation in the Shroud. Z'enath nearly lost his eye in preventing a drunken scuffle between two other Wood Wailers that she was able to heal and restore in time. Continuing their correspondence, the two piece together their memories and trade shows of gratitude to one another.
:*After meeting, Jancis offers to assist Z'enath in a job he took on from a group of ruffian bandits that were laying waste to small hovels. Though she acts as little more than bait to the bandits, she catches a glimpse of the paladin's abilities and control over conjuration aether. The two rest in Quarrymill overnight as Wood Wailers handle the mess the bandits left behind. Returning to Gridania, Jancis proves she still knows how to climb a tree by... climbing a tree.
:*Called away once word that [[L'aenoh Tia]] was found abruptly, Jancis reunites with Z'enath after their hasty departure and both agree to meet up in the Mist of Limsa. The paladin honors her with a hand painted map of Eorzea.
:*Two train together randomly for both physical and mental prowess.
:*Jancis was moved as the knight appeared at the doorstep of her inn room in Coerthas as she went on a sojourn to recover a rare cave fungus. Insisting he help her on the mission, the two survive some wild beasts and, while recovering, term one another as friend and true ally. Z'enath reveals a bit more of his past that brings him obvious shame, as well as some words that "upon the Horizon" some change might come. Jancis offers to assist in this change.
:*Out running errands in the Shroud, Z'enath confesses to her that he has a task to accomplish alone and that he might not return. Jancis waits the days he claims to be gone realizing a deep worry and concern for the man. Missing him fervently, she continues to check in with the Flames if he has contacted them. Considering the ordeal she had with her lost love, she is coming to realize how intense her concern and care for the knight is.
::*Couple days after the masquerade party, Jancis finds Z'enath waiting for her on the docks of the Mist. Overwhelmed with relief and happiness that he has returned, she embraces him and asks to know more of his past to understand why he's made a choice of being alone and, hopefully, move on from such a lifestyle.
::*Asked to a dinner where they can talk, the knight explains a bit more of his childhood activities and his foster father, "his caretaker", and also find out more about his interests and changes of heart, overcome by his admittance to the "fascination" he has found in the conjurer. [[http://i.imgur.com/aZW8fO4.jpg Scene]]
::*Returning to Limsa, Jancis is invited to an abandoned house that is now endowed to Z'enath. His childhood home and left closed for a couple years, Jancis visits it often to help with cleaning and repairs to rebuild a better life for Z'enath that is not based solely on revenge. [[http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/showthread.php?tid=5431&pid=119971#pid119971 Anecdote Reference]]
:*After finding out about the Starlight Ball and another man's offer to escort Jancis to it, Z'enath is prompted to invite Jancis over to his home and confesses more than his consideration of her presence in his life, referring to it as "the only path he is sure about". Admitting that he waited too long, he also asks to escort Jancis to the Ball which she immediately accepts understanding his reasoning and courtship proposal. [[http://i.imgur.com/9HvTI29.jpg Scene]] [[http://i.imgur.com/Bp74ne9.jpg Sketch by Melody]]
:*Continuing to add to his home, Jancis tries to support his own personal goals. She learns that his foster father was slain by an assassin, a dark group known for their ruby earring that Z'enath escaped working for himself.
:*During the Nophica pilgrimage, Z'enath is delayed as he finds some people associated from the assassin group he's hunting. Sporting a black eye, he makes it there and hides it under his hair, the two suspects getting away.
:*Learning more about these assassins Z'enath was mixed up with, Jancis turns at the Seeker Keeper eclipse celebration to find him missing. Not seeing him since, she believes he has either been taken or killed.
::*Only clues she has to his disappearance is a note about a group that wears a ruby earring in one ear and his house left intact as it had been.

Jancis greatly admires the man for his self-less behavior and the passion he shows for all the things he takes on. She loves listening to any story she manages to catch from the man, particularly about his family, and the way his entire body will turn red with bashful or frustrated thoughts. "Sir Evans"<spoiler>

*Fighting off the zombie invasion against Ul'dah from the nefarious actions of Jin'li, Jancis ends up fighting side-by-side with the man including Kahn'a.
*''A Final Dream'': Jancis' encounters with Sir Evans with his goals and aspirations.
:*Randomly running into Cici speaking with Sir Evans, the gladiator asks Jancis to help him pick out some clothing for the upcoming Starlight Ball. After many bells and watching the man put on a random assortment of clothes the two manage to find something deemed appropriate for the gala. The entire time, Jancis finds the man a big awe-inspiring for having a freedom from such cultural boundaries but accepting of them at the same time, listening to his stories of his large family and their Feastday practices, and the reason for all this work is to give an unknown woman at the time the night of her life before he leaves. [[http://i.imgur.com/HemTowO.jpg Scene]]
::*A distress call goes out on the Red Wings' linkpearl and Zachary bolts off, beckoning Jancis to follow in his finery, to find [[Erik Mynhier]] cursed by a mysterious time magic returning the older paladin to his youthful mind and appearance. At this time, to prove himself, Erik tells a secret truth that the woman Zachary is working so hard for is [[Siha Xinkei]] "You're in love with my sister Siha." [[http://i.imgur.com/Mrou6rU.jpg Scene]]
::*On other visits to Cici, Jancis continues to run into Zachary getting help from the lady knight, including dance lessons and an exclamation to spar with her to prove his worth.
::*After listening, Zachary explains he has had dreams of the missing warriors from the Calamity and believes he can find them in the void. This only worries and upsets Jancis, especially since he has so much family that a gamble of himself is too high of a stake, but her concerns are quelled by the man's resolve. [[http://i.imgur.com/CLjOFpD.jpg Scene]]
:*The night of the Starlight Ball arrives, only to find that Siha is escorted by another man for the night. Giving some words of encouragement, Jancis manages to persuade Zachary to at least dance with the lady of his affection and be honest with her.
::*Despite other fine garments available for the occasion made available a shops closer to the ball than before, the gladiator still wears the items Jancis purchased before much to her surprise.
::*Later in the evening, Zachary gives Jancis a rest from hosting and they friends dance together. The conjurer fails in an opportunity to help the man have the dance he actually sought, even preparing to sing a song in particular for the occasion.

::*"I'm unsure if I could ever admit to her that her care is appreciated. I fear that by trying to push her away to stay safe, it will only incite curiosity. She deserves better than to deal with my problems. If she could only realize that." - [[Franz Renatus]]

::*"Should Lady Jancis need help, she only has to ask, for her grace is a rare one. The kind worth protecting." - [[Kahn'a Od'hilkas]]

::*"There is a gentle soul behind those eyes when they look into you. She has in her the greatest capacity for good I have ever seen. With strong ties to the Twelve, she does not allow it to rule her. She places the well being of all before herself. Truly remarkable." - [[Erik Mynhier]]
::*"As true a friend as I've ever had. Not that I've had many." - [[Iskierka Stormspeaker]]

[[File:QIvPuyu.jpg|225px|right]]
Jancis Milburga was born as Lleuedwyn Fishcot, daughter of a middle-class merchant family. The Fishcots were known for their ability to export fish and were a successful travelling merchants. Misfortune came upon them on a trade route in the northern part of the Twelveswood; their caravan was overrun by scouting soldiers looking for monks from Ala Mhigo.

The Rest of the family murdered in the heretic hunt, the toddler Lleuedwyn was left to die in the woods. The soldiers had not been far off, refugees from Ala Mhigo as supporters of the monks escaped before persecution had been near the caravan. Coming to salvage what was left, they found Lleuedwyn and kept her as an asset to survive. Hiding out in the dawn of war, they found a secluded cavern deep in the Shroud protected by the Elements and the Woodswrath because they were caring for a child of the woods.

The highlanders were known as "Guardian" and "Shaman Milburga". Lleuedwyn was referred to strictly as "Child" and taught basics of survival, given books, and even taken into close villages with a mask and large clothing. She was mostly secluded from interacting with others and learned most of what she knew in the world from books or overhearing her two "protectors". As she grew into adolescence Shaman Milburga began to teach the child how to feel and understand the elements; partly to continue their protected place in the woods but also as a means for the girl to take care of herself later on in life.

From one of the many books Jancis picked out her own name and became more restless with the lack of interaction that she had so often read about. Over time she became more aware of her situation, the fate of her parents, and a limited recollection that she was an orphan. She became more adventurous and gathered items from her 'secret outings'. Caught on several outings, Guardian decided their time was up in the seclusion and the war had left more refugees around Gridania.

Giving her some supplies, Jancis was left out on the road with instructions to find the city and appeal to the generosity of the Conjurer's Guild. For about five years she worked for room and board while studying the art of conjuring and is now at the point to explore the world and build her future.<br>

'''Chachanji Gegenji''' ''(32nd Sun of the 5th Umbral Moon)'', also known as "Chachan," is a young Dunesfolk Lalafell from Doma who ultimately seeks to become a great hero and, in doing so, protect all those he cares for - along with everybody else if he can manage it. While not the sharpest sword around, his childish determination and almost completely selfless goodwill towards others seem to be able to bring a smile to even the most cynical of people. Couple that with his surprising strength and constitution, and you have a kind individual who is more than willing to overcome any obstacle in order to see his friends smile.<br/>
<br/>
===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #ECCA67;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Basic Info</div>===
Chachanji Gegenji is the youngest son of Zozonji Gegenji, the most recent head of a family of Doman weapon and armorsmiths, and Jijinya Jinya, aspiring daughter of a middling Ul'dahn merchant family who seeks to spread knowledge of the family's wares throughout all of Hydaelyn. He is preceded by his older brother Gogonji Gegenji and his older sister Nininya Ninya, leaving him in the position of spoiled youngest child with not much expected of him.
<br/>
<br/>
Chachanji, like his siblings before him, was trained since he was old enough to hold a smith's hammer to follow in his family's footsteps. As such, he is surprisingly muscled and tough for a Lalafell, along with being quite the competent smithy. However, his rugged form is offset by his baby-like face and his childish, almost romantically-minded beliefs. He firmly believes that he would rather use what he crafts himself and protect others, rather than merely foist them upon those selfsame people for coin. And it was this belief that ultimately resulted in him traveling to the tumultuous city of Ul'dah, where the plights of the downtrodden there has only served to strengthen his beliefs.
<br/>
<br/>
One can now often find Chachanji running to and fro about the desert city, usually running errands tasked to him by the Adventurer's Guild by way of the Quicksand's own Momodi. When he's not doing that, he can most likely be found in the company of the surprising number of friends that he has accumulated thus far during his stay. With his eagerness to help and genuinely caring disposition, it's no small wonder that so many would count the Doman Lalafell amongst their allies. Not to mention there are a few that he stubbornly considers his friends, whether they like it or not.
<br/>
<br/>
At Chachanji's side often enough is stalwart, little <b>Gran</b>; a baby behemoth that has quickly become the Lalafell's heroic sidekick-slash-mascot. Originally an oddity that was handed off time and time again between vendors and easily-tricked consumers across Eorzea, the little purple porker has somehow wound up under the Lalafell's care. He's not complaining, though, considering the ample supply of entertainment and treats. Whether or not he's actually a baby behemoth or a piglet made up to look like one is still up in the air.

====<div style="padding:0px 0px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Quirks</div>====
: <ul>
: <li>A bit of an oblivious dork, zeroing in on things that catch his interest and often missing things that haven't. Due to his training as a smith under his father, this often include focusing on someone's arms or armor.</li>
: <li>Speaks with a cobbled-together "Eorzean accent" that he's picked up to hide his Doman heritage. While it slips when he's suitably distressed, he's gotten quite used to using it and maintains it more often than not.</li>
: <li>While relatively fluent in Eorzean thanks to the Garlean occupation, he has a harder time wrapping his head around more complicated words (and names) and often breaks them down into oversimplifications, like "in-keg-neato" and "thundermentals." Others he mispronounces as part of that "Eorzean accent," and has stuck to them out of habit - "halp" and "swording" being two of the most common.</li>
: <li>As a little hero to be, Chachan often jumps in to try and "halp" people whenever there's a problem, even if he can't solve it. This has included an incident where he tried to talk a thief out of being a thief. This often leads to him taking on more than he can handle, and is likely to lead to him getting frustrated and throwing a fit.</li>

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #ECCA67;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Biography</div>===

====<div style="padding:0px 0px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Childhood</div>====

: Chachanji, like his siblings before him, was born in Doma and taught by his parents in the ways of business and metallurgy. However, it was silently understood that the eldest - Gogonji - would take over as family head once Zozonji and Jijinya stepped down. However, he was still expected to aid in the smithing of the arms and armor that was his family's lifeblood, so any slacking on that front met with strict discipline from his father. As such, his skill in smithing so no less than his siblings, though most of his economic and business lectures were oft spent daydreaming about fighting dragons and saving princesses.
: <br/>
: Such heroic ideals extended to what little free time was afforded to him between his lectures, where he liked to play hero - swinging around a stick or one of his smithing hammers to defeat whatever dastardly shadow or bush that dared to cross him. Such adventures often resulted in him breaking something or injuring himself, ready to be pounced upon by his dour-faced father. However, more than one punishment was dissuaded by his elder brother Gogonji, who sought to protect the freedom that he lived vicariously through his younger brother.
: <br/>
: As such, Chachan latched on to his older brother more than anyone else, often seeking to remain as close to his eldest sibling during lectures and nagging the future head of the family into playing with him. He was not unlike a Chocobo chick, always pattering along a couple steps behind his brother. For in his young eyes, Gogonji could do no wrong, and the mental acuity of his older brother - a trait inherited from their mother's side, though it was a resource that seemed exhausted by the time Chachanji was born - always left the little Lalafell in awe and wonder.

====<div style="padding:0px 0px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Teenage</div>====

: So, it should come as no surprise that the most shocking event in Chachanji's young life was when he overheard a heated argument between Zozonji and Gogonji. The normally quiet and studious Gogon was suddenly voicing his disinterest in taking on the family business! He believed that simple weapons and armor paled before the might of tactics and knowledge, which had the added benefit of having uses outside just combat. He spoke of the Arcanists of the south seas, he described tales of the Scholars of Nym. Spearheading the manipulation and control of information, he argued, was a better goal than stubbornly relying on antiquated weaponry - already dated against Garlean's magitek advances, even as the Garleans themselves snapped up the family's wares.
: <br/>
: Chachanji retreated as the fight continued, afraid of being discovered or - worse - dragged into it. All he knew was that, shortly after that, Gogonji disappeared from their demesne, leaving naught behind but one of his two Cactaur earrings on Chachan's nightstand. The upset young Lalafell tearfully approached his father for clarification, for any information on where his older brother had gone to, but was gruffly dismissed and ordered to redouble his efforts on his studies. For after all, which Gogonji gone, it fell upon the second (and only other) son to take up the family business.
: <br/>
: What little free time Chachanji possessed before then all but evaporated. From dawn till dusk, he was either at the forge learning how to bend metal to his will or trapped behind a desk to droning and confusing lectures on proper business practices. And, while Chachanji would still dream of being a hero, he found himself frequently wondering where Gogonji was. What he was doing. If he was happy.
: <br/>
: As such did the next five years pass, with Chachanji's mind often drifting to thoughts about his wayward elder brother. His mental deficiencies continued to harangue his parents, and the matters of finance were soon hefted upon his older sister Nininya, who showed much more mental aptitude for it, though she bemoaned her fate nonetheless. As such, the forge became the center of the youngest Gegenji's world. Until, after a particularly vivid recollection of the argument between Gogonji and their father, Chachanji decided he had suffered enough.
: <br/>
: Like his brother before him, Chacha confronted his father in within the smoky confines of the family's forge. However, his complaints were much more whimsical than calculating, more fanciful than fiscally sound. To the bright-eyed youngster, it was obvious the Domans held no love for Garlemald, so why not support the Eorzean Alliance more openly? Why not take up the arms they so lovingly crafted and defend Doma, Ul'dah, and the rest of Hydaelyn from their oppressors rather than just turn around and sell them to the highest bidder!? Buyers who included the Garleans themselves!
: <br/>
: Chachanji remembers little of how the rest of the argument played out, either too upset to remember or having actively refused to commit it to memory. All that he knew that he was on a ship to Ul'dah, to the land of his mother, to do more to help people than just offer them a fine blade for a price. Once there, the gap between the haves and the have-nots only inflamed his passion. He quickly found work with Momodi, taking tasks to try and make each day a little bit better for the locals - all the while dreaming of doing something bigger and better.
: <br/>
: And yet, every once in a while, he'd look out through his bedroom window and wonder. How was his family doing? Where they okay? And what of Gogonji, who had still heard naught of even in the rumor-laden bustle of the Quicksand?

=====<div style="padding:0px 0px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">''Ul'dah Small Things''</div>=====

: Imagine Chachanji's fear, then, when he heard of the razing of Doma. While he and his father had separated on less-than-friendly circumstances, those nightly musings were proof enough that he still truly cared for his family. So, when the refugees came to Ul'dah, Chachanji dropped everything to go see them - only to find they had been barred from the city just like the Ala Mhigans. Chachan himself almost ended up being ejected from the city along with them due to his heritage, but it was Momodi again who came to his rescue with paperwork proving the young Lalafell a properly registered adventurer under her employ and thus exempt from the ousting. Of course, the Doman Lalafell has still managed to end up in a poor spot or two due to this, and he quickly learned to keep his heritage quiet to avoid any more unneeded complications.
: <br/>
: Despite that, the decision to travel to Ul'dah seemed to be mostly prosperous for the little hero-to-be. He's managed to make many friends during his stay there (with an oddly disproportionate number of them being Sultansworn), made a bit of a name for himself as an able hand around Ul'dah, and even began his training to become a Paladin under the watchful eyes of [[Warren Castille]], [[Roen Deneith]], and (hopefully soon) Ser [[Coatleque Crofte]]. He's even found a sort of pseudo-family in his "adopted big sister" [[Leanne Delphium]], and slowly came to see the Hourglass as a sort of second home to replace the fallen Doma.
: <br/>
: However, it was not all sunshine and rainbows as Chachanji would often try to make it seem. With his family trundled off to Revenant's Toll with the rest of the Doman refugees, he often found himself wondering if he should rejoin them and help them recover before following his own dream. Not to mention that his penchant for wanting to help as many people as he can leads to its own litany of problems - from dealing with a duel between [[Evangeline Primrose]] and [[Aiden Church]] to [[Romy Leonhardt]]'s losing of an arm and subsequent requesting of a reinforced gauntlet. His overwhelming desire to help as many people as he could, coupled with his often lacking ability to do so, resulted in two rather childish tantrums - one turned against his own adopted sister, who was slowly spiraling into depression.
: <br/>
: Even his childish dream of heroism through becoming a Paladin has had several unexpected snares. Most of it stemming for a conversation with Ser Crofte when he sought her council as a third mentor. Her insistent questions poked obvious holes in his childlike dream, yet revealing a curious determination beneath the veneer. She tasked him with a Trial of Purpose - to find out '''why''' he desires so much to become a Paladin and defend people - and it has led him to having deep conversations with both Ser Warren and Ms. Roen. Conversations that forced him to re-evaluate his reasons, and seek out why he was so dead-set on still fulfilling his childish goal.
: <br/>
: Why did he need to become a Paladin above all else? Couldn't he continue helping people as he did through Momodi and the Adventurer's Guild? It had been fine enough, but at some point he had wanted more. And he knew finding out when that point was would be important for understanding his tempered desire for Paladinhood.

=====<div style="padding:0px 0px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">''Coral Me, Maybe?''</div>=====

: In a bid to get away from Ul'dah, what she believed to be the source of her growing depression, [[Leanne Delphium]] retreated to the sanctuary of her Free Company "The Coral Sea": their manor in Mist. At her own request - along with his own desire to try to cheer her up - Chachanji began to make frequent trips to the Coral House. Without even noticing, he began to integrate with the myriad of interesting folk there and even got invited to attend the wedding between their First Mate [[Dhemgeim Shyrdoenwyn]] and [[Tausenadel Geispyrsyn]]. At some point, he quietly approached them and applied to join their ranks.
: <br/>
: But even before he was inducted amongst their number, he had a hand in aiding them. He stepped forward when they asked for help in dealing with a cult of madmen who sought to use people as little more than cattle to have aether drawn from. His journey into one of their hideouts to save the captives would be his first bonding moment with [[Jancis Milburga]], who seemed the only one in their four-man team that seemed to agree with his non-lethal preferences. Together they all reached the deepest depths, and apprehended a crazed Lalafell and his harp.
: <br/>
: He stepped in again to help after he learned of a great tragedy that had befallen the Coral Sea. Not long after the wedding, Dhem took a turn for the worse due to a pre-existing condition - and the desperate bid to save her resulted in the loss of her life. Having just won the Grindstone a sun or two before learning this, Chachanji took a large chunk of it and proffered it up to the widower Tau to aid in funeral preparation along with his condolences and a somber request to be there at the funeral. After they had so openly accepted him and invited the little Dunesfolk to their wedding, he felt it was the least he could do.
: <br/>
: It was also through Coral House where he crossed paths again with the bombastic pink-haired Lalafell [[Memeli Meli]], who had he encountered what seemed like moons before in a one-off incident at the Quicksand. She seemed to be just as energetic and carefree as ever - until the day after he had been tricked into attending Meli's all-girl slumber party and forced into pajamas and makeup. What started as a covert operation to her room to reclaim the clothes left there, he stumbled upon a drained and disoriented Memeli and quickly learned of her aetheric imbalance and the danger it presented to her. His fears for her health and welfare only grew stronger when she had a second such "attack" in the Quicksand. He interjected then, offering his help and nearly demanding that the pink-haired Lalafell seek help for her problem.
: <br/>
: Their relationship slowly deepened as Memeli's condition grew worse - she began losing days at a time to slumber and her aetheric imbalance ate away at her hair and skin, the latter being something unknown to him until he finally convinced her to show him the reason behind her sudden interest in hats and hoods. He refused to leave her side, and continued to press for her to seek help along offering whatever he could himself. It's no small wonder then that, even despite his kinda-sorta relationship with [[Yukumazi Mikazi]] that had been borne from a timid kiss at the slumber party, the two would fall into a more serious relationship. Chachanji officially started dating Memeli after a quiet conversation out in front of Coral House, after a surprisingly touching Pie Swap.
: <br/>
: To add to this rapidly spreading web of relationships and connections, another individual entered his life during all this - on a trip back to Ul'dah to continue his mentorship under Ser Warren and Ms. Roen, no less. This was the Doman-raised Plainsfolk [[Virara Wakuwa]], who he found seeking the Holyfist at the behest of her Master... in order to kill him. Shock gave way to worry and then concern - not for the Holyfist, but for Virara herself - as he learned of her past and her stubborn belief that one could only rely on one's self. He has since been seeking to show her the strength in helping others, and to teach her the power of friendship starting with offering his own. She was originally hostile to his views, but has become much more open to his words after their fateful duel outside the walls of Ul'dah over their differing opinions - even going so far as to take on one [[Dren Ghonne]] much in the same way he did her.
: <br/>
: The roller-coaster of fate still had much in store for the youngest Gegenji, however. Not suns after the Pie Swap, he learned that the cultists had returned and kidnapped both Ms. Jancis and the masked fortune-teller [[Iskierka Stormspeaker]] to be used as their latest captives. While he was visibly upset about being detoured into dealing with the many aether-draining machines first, Chachan joined the fray and aided in setting back the cultists' plans. Shortly after that, he would head once more into the breach, this time with the Coralites successfully seeing the return of both their kidnapped members.
: <br/>
: And the hits didn't stop there, though they did begin to turn much more positive. A bit of the conversation between Meli and himself after the Swap came to mind when fellow Coralite [[Sigurd Rainecourt]] announced an expedition into the Wanderer's Palace. The little Lalafell tagged along and, in doing so, learned from the enslaved tonberries that his older brother had once come through there - in fact, having aided in freeing them from the yoke of oppression under their horrible King. In seeking more information, Chachanji echoed his brother's path, though this time he was rescuing them from the Mamool Ja. While he learned little on his brother's current whereabouts, the youngest Gegenji took solace in the fact that his brother was still alive.
: <br/>
: Bolstered by such news, Chachanji finally executed his plan for a surprise cheering-up party for his "adopted" sister Leanne, who had started getting help for her worsening depression. It turned out to be a rousing success on many fronts, not only did the Miqo'te seem to start smiling more and being an all-around happier person, she and Chachan adopted the wayward Virara into their little oddball "family." In addition, who should attend but Ser Coatleque Crofte, allowing Chachan to finally approach her about the findings of his Trial of Purpose. While initially nervous, the following meeting with the Sultansworn in her Ul'dahn office resulted in his official recognition as a Free Paladin.

=====<div style="padding:0px 0px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">''Pink-Convenient Truths''</div>=====

: With the return of Jancis, along with the help of a few others within Coral, Memeli managed to recover from her aetheric imbalance and returned to her normal, bombastic pink-haired self. While this would be cause for celebration, this also meant a sharp uptick in her pranks and antics. Which led to Chachanji being witness to one, but two duels that followed her recovered strength, wherein he learned just how out-of-hand she could become in the heat of battle. One was a (initially) more friendly match between Meli and Virara where he intercepted a flaming claw that would've pierced the latter's chest, and the other a much angst-ridden clash against the spurned Koporo that almost ended tragically via fireball overkill. While the youngest Gegenji managed to step in and prevent both potentially fatal blows, the fact that Memeli always seems upset about his doing so has become a bit worrying. And that issues are not just between the Lalafellan couple.
: <br/>
: In fact, the fallout of the fight betwixt her and Koporo has actually soured Chachanji's relations with the Lalafellan Sultansworn, with the latter going so far as to blame Chachanji personally for all the recent downturns in his life. Tensions have arisen even with Ser Warren and his newly wedded wife [[Sei Castille]], with their warning of the boy's favoring of his sometimes-violently erratic girlfriend. Sei even went so far as to consider their relationship a mistake and that Chachan should seek to control Meli's wild tendencies, much to the Dunesfolk's chagrin. He adamantly believes that he isn't favoring Meli over anyone else he cares about, and would certainly rather guid her to more responsible decisions over an out-and-out attempt to force his will upon her.
: <br/>
: Such concerns came to the fore as Little Lady's Day drew ever closer, an event that was nerve-wracking enough for the little Lalafell considering he planned to give both Memeli and Virara gifts in return for their Valentione's Day chocolates (Meli's gift requiring the assistance of fellow Coralite [[Jajara Jara]]). A misunderstanding over one of Meli's numerous teasings and flirtings resulted in confusion over the state of their relationship, confrontation over what both Lalafell wanted out of it, and an eventual reconciliation. However, the other subject of the teasings - Virara, whose understanding of love and relationships was even worse than Chachan's - didn't quite come out so unscathed. In fact, before she declared the events of the day never happened, the youngest Gegenji discovered that the Plainsfolk may have feelings for him as well.
: <br/>
: Memeli had demanded that Chachanji to give her gifts when her heart wavered, to talk with her when they had disagreements. Most of all, however, she had demanded that he not be willing to let her go - even going so far as to be willing to fight for her. But as Virara left the room that sun, Chachan couldn't help but wonder: would she do the same for him? A worrying thought, considering the results of the "friendly" match between the two female Lalafell before. While the purple-haired Plainsfolk wanted to simply forget the day's events, the green-haired Dunesfolk was left wondering whether he should speak with Memeli about them.
: <br/>
: So, while things are certainly looking up for the little Lalafell, they also seem to become more complicated. His new status as Free Paladin is both empowering and humbling, for he knows he has a long way to go before he can protect all those he cares about. His circle of friends and adoptive family continues to expand, but with it comes the heartache when one of them is at odds with another. And there is still the matter of his older brother - who he seems unable to find any concrete information on. Where is Gogonji, and what new complications will arise if or when Chachanji finally finds him?

: <font style="color:#aac5b4;" size="3">■</font> "He reminds me of someone I used to know. And I miss her. I hope he never forgets who he is now, come what may. Actually... I am hopeful that he will remind others what they have long forgotten. " - [[Roen Deneith]]

<div style="padding:10px 35px; background: #ECCA67;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;"><center>Relations</center></div></span></h3>

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Leanne Delphium]], aka "Ms. Hat" - The two of them have kind of "adopted" each other as siblings, and care for each other deeply as such. When she's happy, he's happy and seeing her distressed upsets him - so the consecutive blows to her life and overall outlook have been extra hard on the little Lalafell. As such, he'll do almost anything he can to cheer her up and try to remind her that there are many people out there that really care about her. Her "little brother" definitely included. Best frands forever, Ms. Hat.
: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Warren Castille]] - Chachanji's arms teacher, who saved him from assault by angry bee outside Ul'dah, and now serves to teach him how to fight with sword and shield. If he knew what it meant, the Lalafell might even admit to having a platonic man-crush on the Free Paladin, whom he sees as both strong and righteous.
: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Roen Deneith]] - Met by happenstance through Gran bumping into her, Roen has become Chachan's second teacher, the "Free-Sworn" having that heroic heart that the Lalafell so admires. Whenever he sees her, she seems to be helping people, which is exactly what he wants to do. She's also been teaching him how to ride his Chocobo, Avenger.
: <font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font> [[Memeli Meli]] - The overly cheerful demeanor and seemingly boundless self-confidence of this bombastic pink-haired Lalafell initially grabbed Chachanji's interest, and a series of incidents involving her aether going wild made him realize how scared he was to lose her. Now they're together, though Chachan's still not entirely sure ''how'' it happened. Something involving Yellow Drops?
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Ha'uruh Nunh]] - Good ol' Howl. Chachanji met him through Ser Warren, and has quickly forged a friendship with the guy. Though the man's brief stint as the opposite gender confused the little Lalafell, the reasonings for it and the Miqo'te's more subdued nature as of late has little Chachan trying his best to bring a smile to Howl's face and bring him in closer into his circle of friends.
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Virara Wakuwa]] - In an already bizarre roster of folks Chachan calls friend, Virara is exceptionally odd. Possessing a monstrous strength (and appetite, he's come to find...), she seems more focused on fighting and relying on one's self. Yet, when he hears her talk of her Master, as much as she says she wants to kill her, he can't help but think there's something more there. He seeks to deter her from such a fatalistic reunion and show her a different way - and the power of friendship and helping others.
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Jancis Milburga]] - One of the many "princesses" of the Coral Sea, Chachan honestly considers Jancis a wonderful person and a good friend. The Conjurer's gentle and friendly nature is so very admirable to the little Lalafell, and he would do much to ensure that she can continue to help others unhindered. He went so far as to prove that point when he sought to rescue her and another Coralite from a band of cultists and their aether-draining machines.
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Artemis Newton]] - One of the first folks Chachan met in Ul'dah, and one of the first to attempt to improve his swordplay and point him on the path to Paladinhood. Her myriad skill sets and knowledge on multiple matters (either personally or knowing someone who does) has been helpful to the little Lalafell to learn more about Eorzea in general.
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Ninifae Nira]] - Met through Ms. Artemis, Nira helped Chachan through his first few days in Ul'dah almost as much as the Hyur! He's always in awe of her seemingly vast amounts of knowledge, and is most likely the first person besides his own brother that he'd think of when it came to booksmarts. With the latter still MIA, that means Nira holds a special place as the person for Chachan to turn to when he needs to know something.
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Flickering Ember]] - While their first meeting was a bit of a terrifying one - the Roegadyn having reverted to a feral state - Chachan felt a strong desire to help calm her down so that she could be helped by the Coral medical staff. Ever since, he's tried to keep an eye out for his much larger new friend, doubly so since she lacks sight. If she ever needs help, Chachan would certainly be among the first in line to give it.
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Coatleque Crofte]] - Chachanji has his eyes on this predominant Sultansworn to be his third teacher. Her calm and collected approach, along with her apparent ability to always know what to say or do, being something he wants to emulate. He has approached her about this and been given a "Trial of Purpose," and where this leads for the both of them is still up in the air.
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Shas Tarry]] - A Sultansworn that Chachan met through Leanne and has come to see as quite the friend and another example of how close Paladins in general are to his heroic ideals. She's been there for him almost as much as Leanne herself, and is quite close to being bumped up on this list.
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Romy Leonhardt]] - Another Sultansworn that Chachan thought was actually fully-fledged until he heard she was, in fact, still in training. Though he may question her motives and sense of humor at time, she's both strong and reliable. Though, with the recent loss and reattachment of her shield arm, he's been a little more worried about the lady 'Sworn.
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Kage Kiryuu]] - A fellow Lalafell that both got Chachan accidentally entered into his first Grindstone, and served as his adviser when he had his first big fight with Leanne. The guy seems a bit distant at times, but Chachan thinks they're on a good track to becoming fast friends, and possibly even smithy buddies!
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Aiden Church]] - A Sultansworn hopeful Chachanji came across in an interesting incident at the Quicksand. The farm boy's short temper and overzealous nature continues to exasperate the little Lalafell, but the Hyur's dream also resonates with him. As such, Chachan has found himself trying to keep an eye out for Aiden and keep him from blowing his chances. This has the added effect of the spritely Lalafell somehow being the straight man in most of their interactions.
: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Alexaria Whiteraven]] - Helping save a Lalafell from freezing to death from being a dumb is a great way to gain some measure of respect in his eyes. She's also helped him with the strange rabbit stone he received in the mail, though she was a bit dodgy in her advice. While he's not ''completely'' sure of the lady, he likes her well enough.
: <font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font> [[Koporo Aporo]] - Meetings between these two Lalafell seemed to always quickly devolve into arguing over whether Chachanji should be able to keep his pet baby behemoth, Gran, or not and usually consisted of personal jabs and derisive nicknames. Even after beating "Mumbles" in the Grindstone and getting a promise to not harass him about Gran, the other Dunesfolk continued to rub him the wrong way. The final straw happened during the Halone pilgrimage, and has all but ruined any remaining goodwill Chachan has for the older Lalafell.
: <font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font> [[Roysia Stone]] - A Sultansworn-in-Training that started her training at the same time Chachanji started his own. First they were "rivals" to see who would complete their goal first, though Rose ultimate won that particular race. Then she and Leanne dated, and the subsequent breakup that left his "Big Sister" depressed and heartbroken immediately soured the Lalafell's opinion on her. Should he see her around again, she's getting the biggest kick to the shin Chachan can manage.
: <font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font> [[Evangeline Primrose]] - Originally thinking the Elezan possessed a good heart, her actions have continued to tarnish his opinion of her. The fact that she and Leanne are quite at odds isn't helping matters much, either. He still holds out some hope that she'll learn what she's doing wrong, but that candle is guttering out quickly.

==Character==
((Construction Zone, please excuse our mess))

===General===
Alexander Stormwind is a man of means, power, and prestige and he wants everyone to know it. Though he is officially listed as a refugee, Alexander does not concern himself with the plight of those who he supposedly arrived with and cares not for the people. To him, people are tools to be used until they are of no more use to him. Not surprisingly, his wealth has earned him a comfortable and private living in the city of Ul'dah, something he has used to great effect as he spends countless hours in his home researching and studying.

His associate (and rumored more) Rhianna Oruissi is his companion, providing research support as well as managing the day-to-day affairs of their home. She is also generally the only one who can keep Alexander otherwise in line, and considers it her duty to the rest of the world to keep the man in check.

===Appearance===
Alexander looks every bit a man in his 50's. Whitening and grey streaks color his black hair and visible lines are starting to appear on his face, adding to his already dour appearance. The corners of his mouth show visible signs of constant anger and distress, as to the increasingly deep divots in his skin where his eyebrows meet, indicating a regularly sour disposition. His face is extremely pale, likely from his endless, sunless, hours toiling away in his laboratory or study.

His eyes are a dark violet, though upon closer inspection one would likely notice that the left eye does not act and twitch like a real one, because it is not. The left eye is a glass fake, and though offers to upgrade it or replace it have been offered, Alexander often simply replies with a curt "No." and ends the discussion.

Alexander dresses in robes and garments which help maintain his wealth and power. A student of the Allagan Empire and the aether, much of his clothing is custom made to include ways which will enhance his own aetheric abilities.

Despite all his pomp and bluster though, Alexander is still getting on in his age and that age is starting to catch up with him. He is always seen with one ornate staff or another which serve as both a focus point as well as a walking stick. He will often have to lean against this staff for support after long periods of standing or use it to support him while taking long walks.

===Personality===
If you ask anyone who knows Alexander they'll all tell you the same thing. That he is an angry and compulsive individual who would rather incinerate the focus of his ire more then anything else. Alexander's quest for ever increasing power, mostly aetherial, leaves his little time for frivolities and even when he is out he is constantly working, either reading over his research notes or settling accounts with one of his many contacts who bring him research material, either legitimate or otherwise.

While he mostly believes everyone to be beneath him, he does on occasion deign to speak to others, especially those who consider themselves researchers of the allagans or the aether. Alexander enjoys scholarly discussions, and while you would never get him to admit that he is wrong about a topic, he will consider it once he leaves your presence.

For all his faults, Alexander does generally listen to Rhianna, even when it counteracts his own desires. He is also extremely protective and possessive of her, often refusing her time to herself if he is in the middle of a long research session. For all that, after all these years, Alexander would be lost without Rhianna. She is a rare mental equal to himself, and he is loathe to give that up to anyone or anything.

==Combat==
===General===
Alexander has little time for unnecessary violence. Force of arms is for a younger generation in his opinion but that does not mean he is defenseless. Quite the opposite, his age has allowed him to study multiple magical forms. Alexander has a great deal of aetheric ability, and he uses it to the fullest extent. As a student of all forms of magic, and will unleash a torrent of destructive magic at a foe to destroy them before being allowed to reach him.

'''Magic'''

Alexander is an accomplished magic user, having studied multiple aetheral arts. His use of the destructive arts are by and far his most advanced, able to call on powerful bolts of lightning and balls of fire to bring enemies to heel. While he can not contact the elements, he has studied conjury and is able to use aether to control wind and water with varying effects, as well as utilize some healing. He spends more time of late studying the aetherial geometry involved in summoning and how to create better, stronger constructs. Though his research in this is slow, he can still call forth an aetherial construct as needed to support him if necessary.

'''Clothing/Armor'''

Alexander makes liberal use of his magitek and allagan research to augment his natrual aetheral abilities. His clothes are often of magitek design or imbued with allagan fibers which have been magically infused. Even his staves, all of which are of his own design, utilize magitek to augment his natural abilities making him a stronger opponent. Nothing goes to waste with regards to Alexander protecting himself, and it is safe to assume that Alexander often has a back-up plan in case something goes wrong.

==Relationships==
===Family===
Officially, Alexander his no family outside of the small group of people that he arrived in Ul'dah with some years ago.

===Friends===
'''[[Rhianna Oruissi]]-''' Trusted research assistant, caretaker, and rumored paramour. Alexander has come to rely heavily on the woman since they met as refugees. Her handling of his affairs as well as her discerning eye on his research has left Alexander with being completely unable to function without her.

'''[[Daghbheri Himalspyr]]''' aka "Captain"- Alexanders forward companion in his primal research. Originally starting as a business relationship, Dogberry fell more under Alexanders yoke when the Sea Wolf lost his legs following their fight with Leviathan. Since then, Dogberry's focus on taking down the primals has helped Alexanders research tremendously. If Dogberry could simply manage to settle down in his personal life, Alexander would be far happier with their arrangement.

'''[[Menelwen Veara]]'''- The relationship between Menelwen and Alexander has been more or less professional, but her continued assistance with his primal research has been welcome. Alexanders opinion of Menelwen improved following her relationship with Dogberry seeing it as a stabilizing influence in his life, but as with any good thing in the Captains life it could only last so long. Now Alexander is working on ways to keep Menelwen in the fold. Not only is she smart and resourceful, she is aware of one of his secrets.

===Enemies===
Alexander is not a public man. He maintains a certain distance from the general populace in a effort to keep the kind of people who could harm him to a minimum. Those who attempt to are met with extreme retalitaion.

==Rumors==
===Common Rumors===
::* "He's got a large Roegadyn that looks up to him, almost like a father."
::* "He's rich, that much if for certain. No one who is hurting for food spends money and dresses like he does"
::* "You'd think someone with his money and influence would have a magitek eye if he was going to have a fake one."

===Moderate Rumors===
::* "Lots of people going in and out of that house and at all hours. Some reputable, others not so much. All go in with boxes or sacks, all come out with heavy purses."
::* "That woman, Rhianna Oruissi, isn't just a research partner. I've seen how he talks and looks at her when he thinks no one is listening."
::* "I heard he spent a great deal of money to invest in a ship and crew to keep on the rolls and push ill-gotten funds through."

===Rare Rumors===
::* "He's got something big in mind. Whatever it is, he's up countless days working on it."
::* "I swear on my mother I once heard him speak in Garlean tongue to that woman he is always with"
::* "He has blood on his hands, he just uses his money and it's influence in Ul'dah to keep it buried."

===PC Rumors===

Brynhilde stands at 6 fulms and 1 ilm tall with long, slender limbs and neck. She has the archetypal developed musculature of the Highlander woman, while keeping the feminine body shape.

[[File: BrynSketchPainter.JPG|thumb|right|]]

Bryn has a slim face, with a fine nose, full lips and thick brows. She has porcelain-pale skin, with light freckling across her nose, cheeks and shoulders.

Her eyes are a very pale sky blue, and she keeps them lined with brown kohl.

Her hair is quite thick, and she usually keeps it neatly tied. It is mostly smooth, but some of Brynhilde's hair has a coarser texture to it owing to her Highlander heritage, and these strands she wears in locks she binds with ribbon and adorns with charms. When worn loose, her hair reaches below her shoulder blades.

[[File: Bryn sketch.jpg|thumb|left|By [[Lurial Vashir]]]]

A good look at her reveals that Bryn takes greater pride in her personal appearance than your average adventurer. When not in her well-kept armour, she chooses light, often feminine attire. She has a good eye for colour and her fingernails are oddly well-kept for an adventurer. She wears a pleasant lavender fragrance, and often applies a light gloss to her lips.

Bryn has no tattoos, but a few fine scars on her hands and arms. She does, however, have some significant scarring on her torso. She has two piercings in either earlobe, and wears simple silver studs in them.

Brynhilde's voice is smooth and somewhat breathy. While her cycles in greater Eorzea have softened her Ala Mhigan accent, it is still notable in her rolled R's and occasional pronunciation of W's as V's. Her accent is more pronounced when she is upset.

She maintains good posture, typically keeping her head held high and back straight, accentuating her already considerable height as a Highlander. At rest, her expression is often stern or impassive. She can often come across as haughty.

====<div style="background:#ACD3EB;font-family:Georgia;font-size:30px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;"><center>'' Strengths ''</center></div>====

Bryn, despite surface impressions, is a woman of intense feeling. She is deeply compassionate, and fervently loyal to friends and family. She is very principled, and has a tendency to consider the needs of the group above her own. She will willingly do what others won’t, if she believes it is for the best. She is determined to the extreme; once she has decided on a course of action, naught will keep her from her goal.
[[File: Bryn Valor.png|thumb|left|]]

With her calm, confident demeanour and tendency to be decisive and assertive, Bryn is a natural leader. While she does not actively seek to lead, she is comfortable being the one others turn to for guidance.

Although she always desired a family, Bryn's devotion to the resistance kept her from ever having children of her own. Perhaps as a result, and owing to her qualities of being 'the protector' type, Bryn has a mothering side to her. She likes to take care of those around her, be it through making sure they're fed a decent meal, or through offering a sympathetic ear.
<br><br>
[[File: Bryn_WHM.png|thumb|right|]]
Having spent her younger Cycles in Ala Mhigo's noble courts, Bryn is adept in charm and flattery, and will happily employ both to her advantage in social situations. Bryn has been known to use her skill in diplomacy to smooth over difficult social situations to great effect. She can sometimes come across as rather flirtatious, although she rarely has genuine romantic intentions.

====<div style="background:#ACD3EB;font-family:Georgia;font-size:30px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;"><center>'' Flaws ''</center></div>====

Her desire to protect those around her, coupled with her ‘bigger picture’ views, can make her very self-destructive and reckless. She is a martyr, with little regard for her own safety and happiness. Her principles can make her overly-righteous at times, to the point where she has difficulty perceiving other views and shades of moral grey. As a result, she can be prone to extremism.

Cycles spent in the militarized environment of the Ala Mhigan resistance have left Bryn with a measure of distaste for authority, rules and rigid social structures. She cares for laws only insofar as they serve toward achieving moral ends. As soon as she perceives them as having become a hindrance to those ends, Bryn swiftly abandons them in favour of her own moral code. This can make her something of a wildcard.

[[File:BrynHowlingEye.png|thumb|left|]]

Bryn can be overly-proud, sometimes to the point of arrogance, and is often loathe to reveal anything about herself which she feels could put her at a disadvantage. Brynhilde is incredibly guarded, and rarely ever surrenders information about herself unless asked. Even then, her answers are often evasive and sometimes dishonest. She can be uptight and reluctant to relax.

She is slow to trust and does not cope well with emotional vulnerability. She has a strong desire to maintain control at all times, both of herself and her environment, and sometimes unfortunately of the people in her life, too.

Although it is a difficult thing to provoke her into anger, her temper is explosive when lost. It takes a lot to drag Bryn into an argument. Once there, however, she digs her heels in and doesn't yield. She’s not entirely above a shouting match if the argument is regarding something she feels passionately about, but generally she prefers to avoid conflict whenever she can. Insults have little effect on her; the quickest way to witness her temper is to attack those she cares for. That said, a particularly sore point is her Ala Mhigan heritage. Insult it at your peril.

Having come from a traditionalist Mhigan family, Brynhilde has some unhealthy prejudices and attitudes. She tends to keep these mostly to herself, and as a result they rarely affect her relationships.

Brynhilde believes that she has a duty to suffer until her final day. Moments of happiness for her are thus shadowed by a quiet anxiety which is hard for her to discard.
<br>

====<div style="background:#ACD3EB;font-family:Georgia;font-size:30px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;"><center>'' Romance ''</center></div>====

Being the guarded character that she is, Bryn does not grow close to others quickly. A potential lover would need to be willing to invest the time and energy needed to get her to lower her defences before there could be any chance for intimacy. Trust is a big issue for Brynhilde and she is also keenly aware that, owing to her history, allowing others to get close to her may put them at risk of harm.

In others she respects the qualities of strength, virtue and courage. Her partner would need to be a person who is non-judgemental and compassionate. She is put off by lecherous behaviour and empty flattery.

Bryn recognises that she is equally attracted to both men and women, but her prejudices keep her from being attracted to anyone who isn't either Highlander or Roegadyn. She is concerned for the purity and longevity of the Highlander race, and so would be very reluctant to enter into sexual relations with a man of another race.<br><br>

==<div style="background:#ACD3EB;font-family:Georgia;font-size:40px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;"><center>''''' Combat '''''</center></div>==

[[File:BrynHeader_Combat.png|1100px|]]
<br>

<br>
In battle Brynhilde favours the sword and shield, and prefers a longer blade to the shortsword or gladius. She is swift in battle and possessing of remarkable grace, fighting with a dancing, flourishing style of swordplay rarely seen among adventurers. She tends toward a more defensive stance, and most often on the battlefield can be found with shield raised, stood between her comrades and that which would harm them.

In combat, Bryn wears a combination of plate, chain and leather. The heavy plate she wears to guard her torso against the inevitable blows she endures as a defender, as well as to guard her sword-arm. She wears the lighter chain on her legs to preserve mobility, and the leather on her gauntlets and greaves to maintain flexibility.

She has incredible staying power; although she may have suffered heavy blows and her body screams with fatigue, she will fight until either her foe is defeated, or she is overwhelmed. Pain seems to have little effect on her.

Her strong Highlander body gives Bryn the raw strength to overwhelm most opponents in close-quarters combat, with the exception of Roegadyn and male Highlanders. However, she possesses little defence against magical and ranged attacks.

After many moons of intense practice and study, Brynhilde has achieved a greater mastery of curative magic. As she continues to improve, she seeks ways to utilise her spells in close-quarters battle, so as to better defend and protect her allies.

Although rarely employed, Brynhilde has an understanding of the basic functioning of magitek small arms and improvised explosives. She is also skilled in the use of the traditional Highlander weapon of the zweihander, or two-handed sword.

If given the choice, Bryn would rather not fight at all. Although she is not a pacifist, she detests senseless violence and never fights without good cause.<br>

<br>
<br>
Bryn is a Landsknecht, a follower of a little-known and proud martial tradition of Ala Mhigo. She is very selective about work she takes on, often agreeing to it only if she would not be required to violate her moral code in order to complete the job. As such, she has built up a modest reputation in Limsa Lominsa and Ul’dah as a reliable person who deals fairly and honourably with those she works with. She has a marked concern for the underdog and the downtrodden. Recently she has mostly concerned herself with the dealings of the secretive Aeon free company.

Bryn loves to ride, and she and her chocobo, Astridr, typically cover several malms every day. She finds a measure of peace in travelling, in cooking and reading, and sometimes in writing. She loves Chocobos and hounds, often preferring their company to that of other people.

She also has a secret, tragic love for trashy romance novels. You know, the really awful ones with titles like, ‘The Viscount’s Mistress’, and ‘The Doctor’s Bride’. Heaving bosoms abound!

Bryn likes music and stories, particularly romance. She enjoys drinking, and owing to her noble origins, is a talented dancer. Just perhaps not in the dancing styles you’d most often find in Eorzea’s taverns.

===Family===

Bryn was born to the distinguished Ala Mhigan noble family House Brandulfr. Her birth name was ''Adelfrida Brynhilde Brandulfr''.

'''Father:''' Jàrngrìmur Brandulfr ''(presumed deceased)''<br>

===Linkshells and Organisations===

'''Aeon Free company''' : In the summer moons of 1578, Brynhilde was registered with the Immortal Flames as the leader of a new free company known only as 'Aeon'. It is an unusual company in the respect that it does not appear to actively recruit new members, and it also offers no mission statement or clue as to it's goals.

Dog possesses many of the traits Bryn typically frowns upon in others, yet she finds this Sea Wolf to have a certain charm about him. While she disapproves of his casual approach to sex and love, she admires Dog's frankness, sensitivity and devotion to his son. Her struggle to understand him runs alongside a strong sexual attraction Brynhilde can't deny, and finds deeply concerning.

<td style="width:50%";><font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font>'''[[Tiergan Vashir]]''' : Although their relationship began with mutual distrust, recent events have brought Brynhilde and Tiergan closer together. Close enough, even, for Bryn to place her life in Tiergan's hands. Bryn was pleasantly surprised to learn that they share a homeland, and has come to appreciate Tiergan's selflessness and combat proficiency. Having correctly guessed Tiergan's difficult past, Bryn also feels sympathetic toward the Miqo'te. Despite her thinly-veiled prejudice against most Miqo'te, Brynhilde views Tiergan almost as a brother.</td>

<td><font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font><font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font>'''[[Flickering Ember]]''' : Bryn has spent the better part of a cycle quietly watching over this young Roegadyn. While some might find Ember's lack of any understanding of social mores odd or frustrating, for the most part Bryn finds them endearing. She has a maternal attitude toward the girl, and her protective urges over her can unfortunately lean toward the overly-fierce.

<td><font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font><font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font>'''[[Gharen Wolfsong]]''' : Ever happy to meet a fellow Highlander, Bryn first met Gharen in the Black Shroud, where she attempted to engage him in amiable conversation. Bryn intially found Gharen's taciturn nature quite frustrating, but time spent training and socializing together since has given her a better understanding of the man. Bells spent in conversation with Gharen have shown Bryn a kindly, honourable and admirable man whose company she greatly enjoys. She wishes to see him safe and happy, but has thus far maintained her distance out of respect for his pride.</td>

<td>'''<font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font>[[Ciel Lazuli]]''' : Countless jobs and missions together have confirmed in Bryn's mind that Ciel is a talented fighter and a trustworthy ally. On the personal front, she finds Ciel to be a cautious, distant individual, which she respects.</td>

Aside from being a competent adventurer, Bryn enjoys Zaku's friendliness and eccentric nature. The whole referring-to-himself-in-the-third-person-thing doesn't even grate on her any more.</td>

While they initially had a warm friendship, certain revelations regarding Aryianna's past made Brynhilde more cautious of her. While she holds no ill will toward Ary personally, Bryn has come to the grim realisation that if it were necessary, she must be ready to do her harm. She acknowledges, however, that this would take its toll on her, as time has developed in Brynhilde a great degree of care for the Midlander.</spoiler></td>

Oak arrived in time to find a gravely wounded Brynhilde, whose life she saved by ripping a spear tip from her side so that the White Mage [[Ne'ci Aera]] could heal her. After that, the two began to develop a close friendship. As moons passed and the two spent time together, Bryn began to realise that her feelings for Oak ran deeper than she was ready to admit. Eventually the two confessed their feelings, and embarked upon a loving, affectionate and happy relationship. Oak's long absence in the cycle of 1578 was difficult for Brynhilde to cope with. Eventually she resolved to move on with her life, although it was no easy decision for her to make.</spoiler></td>

Certain things that have come to light over time, however, have soured Bryn's opinion of the Midlander. In particular, Nadeau's obvious affection for Varus is troubling to Bryn. To say that she does not trust Nadeau would be an understatement. Regardless, Bryn has not made this known to Nadeau. She is content to watch, and to learn. For now.</spoiler></td>

That was not an obstacle, however, to Bryn aiding Ne'ci in a matter of great importance to the Miqo'te. Since then, the two have had a pleasant, but distant relationship.</spoiler></td>

===''Moderate Rumors''===
::* "That's an odd bird she rides. Beautiful thing, but it's got a mean streak a malm wide. A bit like the rider, heh."
::* "She's a tricky woman to track down. I hear she never stays in the same place for more than two nights. Sounds like trouble to me."
::* "She's done well for herself. Aye, she used to be a down-an'-out, like most of the other Highlanders you see in the Sultanate. If only more refugees would care to follow her example, it'd do wonders to clean up cesspits like Pearl Lane."
::* "Isn't that--? No, no. I must be mistaken. But damn if she doesn't look like one of those wretched somnus junkies I used to see around the refugee camps."

::* "There's a sizeable bounty on that woman's head. Questionable characters are willing to pay handsomely for her capture, but not for her death. Quite who these characters are working for is uncertain."
::* "Aye, that's her. ''Adelfrida Bloodwoad'', daughter of the resistance. So called because she used to paint her face with the blood of the Imperials she had slain in battle. What, you don't believe me? Bah, fine. Believe as you wish. But I'm tellin' you, that one's as the Highlanders of old; she's as vicious as they come."

===''1539 - 1558 : The Ala Mhigan Cycles''===
<br>
<spoiler>
Adelfrida Brandulfr (meaning,”Noble Beauty, Fire Wolf”) was born in Ala Mhigo on the 22nd Sun of the First Astral moon, 1539. The eldest child of the wealthy and highly-respect nobleman Járngrímur Brandulfr, Adelfrida was heir to a house possessing both ancient roots and proud standing. Járngrímur was a decorous, rational man, a staunch royalist, and a somewhat distant father who raised his children with careful precision, but little affection. Nevertheless, Adelfrida idolised him and was the very image of the dutiful daughter, obeying his edict that she act as a guardian and watchful eye over her two younger siblings, Bjollgrímur and Adele.

The siblings were inseparable, and lived a life of ease and privilege until the chaotic events of King Theodoric’s reign. Shortly after Theodoric began his persecution of the monks of the Fist of Rhalgr, Adelfrida’s mother, Adelheid, was charged with aiding enemies of the monarch and so was sentenced to public execution.
</spoiler>

===''1558 - 1559 : Rebellion''===
<br>
<spoiler>Thus the Brandulfr siblings fell in with the rebellion against Theodoric, which culminated in the end of his reign as the Garlean Empire moved in to Ala Mhigo. While many at that time viewed the Empire as liberators, this misconception was quickly dispelled when Garlean forces began to purge the city of its nobility and coerce Ala Mhigans into what was essentially slavery. The Brandulfrs then found themselves exiled from the city their family had called home for centuries.
</spoiler>
===''1559 - 1572 : The Resistance Cycles''===
<br>
<spoiler>Initially, Adelfrida and her siblings did not move west into Eorzea as many of those first refugees did. Instead, embittered by the loss of her home and way of life, Adelfrida succumbed to the urgings of her brother and joined the resistance movement against Garlemald. Those early days of the resistance saw some victories. But young Adelfrida was driven by a burning hatred and rage toward the Imperial invaders who she believed had taken her life from her.

Cycles passed, and still the family lingered in Gyr Abania, fighting Imperial forces wherever they found them, raiding their supply shipments and seizing whatever Garlean weapons and technology they could. The siblings fell in with a group of resistance fighters led by Dreki Ironmantle, an ex-captain in Theodoric's royal guard. Eventually, their accumulated, albeit modest, successes against the Imperials earned a reputation for the Brandulfr siblings, who by this point had been affectionately dubbed ‘The Pack’ by their comrades. But it was Adelfrida in particular who became something of the local resistance’s darling; with her flame-red hair, her youthful energy and ardent devotion to the cause, as well as her savagery on the field of battle, she and Dreki's company became rallying figures for several of the small resistance groups still remaining in the mountainous regions of Gyr Abania.

The resistance’s petty victories in the skirmishes against the Garleans in and around Gyr Abania did not satisfy Adelfrida. As the cycles passed and the Ala Mhigans seemed to grow no closer to retaking their home, her rage intensified steadily. It called for a blow to be struck against the Imperials in the region the likes of which they could never recover from. Eventually the resistance planned an operation with the potential to do just that.

Under Adelfrida’s leadership, a small unit of resistance fighters risked all to embark upon the mission to destroy a nascent Castrum in the Highlands. But in her hatred and zeal, Adelfrida could not anticipate the catastrophic consequences ahead of her.</spoiler>

===''1572 - Present Day : Without a Cause''===

<br>
<spoiler>''"... I've nothin' else tae do. When I finally let go, I thought I'd be free.

''Instead I floundered, an' felt lost without anythin' tae strive for, however hopeless.''

'' I can't be one of these aimless adventurers, content tae fight for fame an' fortune. T'is meaningless tae me."''</spoiler>

Bryn's identity as Adelfrida Brandulfr has been a closely-guarded secret for the last twenty Cycles, a necessary measure to avoid the Empire's hunting. If you intend to have your character allude to Bryn's history or identity, or her status as a fugitive, please speak to me first.

The correct pronunciation of her name would be "Breen-HILL-d' Voolf." The R should be briefly rolled, if possible. However, Bryn usually introduces herself simply as "Brin Wolf", as so few people are able to pronounce her name properly.

This character is on the Balmung server.

Brynhilde stands at 6 fulms and 1 ilm tall with long, slender limbs and neck. She has the archetypal developed musculature of the Highlander woman, while keeping the feminine body shape.

[[File: BrynSketchPainter.JPG|thumb|right|]]

Bryn has a slim face, with a fine nose, full lips and thick brows. She has porcelain-pale skin, with light freckling across her nose, cheeks and shoulders.

Her eyes are a very pale sky blue, and she keeps them lined with brown kohl.

Her hair is quite thick, and she usually keeps it neatly tied. It is mostly smooth, but some of Brynhilde's hair has a coarser texture to it owing to her Highlander heritage, and these strands she wears in locks she binds with ribbon and adorns with charms. When worn loose, her hair reaches below her shoulder blades.

[[File: Bryn sketch.jpg|thumb|left|By [[Lurial Vashir]]]]

A good look at her reveals that Bryn takes greater pride in her personal appearance than your average adventurer. When not in her well-kept armour, she chooses light, often feminine attire. She has a good eye for colour and her fingernails are oddly well-kept for an adventurer. She wears a pleasant lavender fragrance, and often applies a light gloss to her lips.

Bryn has no tattoos, but a few fine scars on her hands and arms. She does, however, have some significant scarring on her torso. She has two piercings in either earlobe, and wears simple silver studs in them.

Brynhilde's voice is smooth and somewhat breathy. While her cycles in greater Eorzea have softened her Ala Mhigan accent, it is still notable in her rolled R's and occasional pronunciation of W's as V's. Her accent is more pronounced when she is upset.

She maintains good posture, typically keeping her head held high and back straight, accentuating her already considerable height as a Highlander. At rest, her expression is often stern or impassive. She can often come across as haughty.

====<div style="background:#ACD3EB;font-family:Georgia;font-size:30px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;"><center>'' Strengths ''</center></div>====

Bryn, despite surface impressions, is a woman of intense feeling. She is deeply compassionate, and fervently loyal to friends and family. She is very principled, and has a tendency to consider the needs of the group above her own. She will willingly do what others won’t, if she believes it is for the best. She is determined to the extreme; once she has decided on a course of action, naught will keep her from her goal.
[[File: Bryn Valor.png|thumb|left|]]

With her calm, confident demeanour and tendency to be decisive and assertive, Bryn is a natural leader. While she does not actively seek to lead, she is comfortable being the one others turn to for guidance.

Although she always desired a family, Bryn's devotion to the resistance kept her from ever having children of her own. Perhaps as a result, and owing to her qualities of being 'the protector' type, Bryn has a mothering side to her. She likes to take care of those around her, be it through making sure they're fed a decent meal, or through offering a sympathetic ear.
<br><br>
[[File: Bryn_WHM.png|thumb|right|]]
Having spent her younger Cycles in Ala Mhigo's noble courts, Bryn is adept in charm and flattery, and will happily employ both to her advantage in social situations. Bryn has been known to use her skill in diplomacy to smooth over difficult social situations to great effect. She can sometimes come across as rather flirtatious, although she rarely has genuine romantic intentions.

====<div style="background:#ACD3EB;font-family:Georgia;font-size:30px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;"><center>'' Flaws ''</center></div>====

Her desire to protect those around her, coupled with her ‘bigger picture’ views, can make her very self-destructive and reckless. She is a martyr, with little regard for her own safety and happiness. Her principles can make her overly-righteous at times, to the point where she has difficulty perceiving other views and shades of moral grey. As a result, she can be prone to extremism.

Cycles spent in the militarized environment of the Ala Mhigan resistance have left Bryn with a measure of distaste for authority, rules and rigid social structures. She cares for laws only insofar as they serve toward achieving moral ends. As soon as she perceives them as having become a hindrance to those ends, Bryn swiftly abandons them in favour of her own moral code. This can make her something of a wildcard.

[[File:BrynHowlingEye.png|thumb|left|]]

Bryn can be overly-proud, sometimes to the point of arrogance, and is often loathe to reveal anything about herself which she feels could put her at a disadvantage. Brynhilde is incredibly guarded, and rarely ever surrenders information about herself unless asked. Even then, her answers are often evasive and sometimes dishonest. She can be uptight and reluctant to relax.

She is slow to trust and does not cope well with emotional vulnerability. She has a strong desire to maintain control at all times, both of herself and her environment, and sometimes unfortunately of the people in her life, too.

Although it is a difficult thing to provoke her into anger, her temper is explosive when lost. It takes a lot to drag Bryn into an argument. Once there, however, she digs her heels in and doesn't yield. She’s not entirely above a shouting match if the argument is regarding something she feels passionately about, but generally she prefers to avoid conflict whenever she can. Insults have little effect on her; the quickest way to witness her temper is to attack those she cares for. That said, a particularly sore point is her Ala Mhigan heritage. Insult it at your peril.

Having come from a traditionalist Mhigan family, Brynhilde has some unhealthy prejudices and attitudes. She tends to keep these mostly to herself, and as a result they rarely affect her relationships.

Brynhilde believes that she has a duty to suffer until her final day. Moments of happiness for her are thus shadowed by a quiet anxiety which is hard for her to discard.
<br>

====<div style="background:#ACD3EB;font-family:Georgia;font-size:30px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;"><center>'' Romance ''</center></div>====

Being the guarded character that she is, Bryn does not grow close to others quickly. A potential lover would need to be willing to invest the time and energy needed to get her to lower her defences before there could be any chance for intimacy. Trust is a big issue for Brynhilde and she is also keenly aware that, owing to her history, allowing others to get close to her may put them at risk of harm.

In others she respects the qualities of strength, virtue and courage. Her partner would need to be a person who is non-judgemental and compassionate. She is put off by lecherous behaviour and empty flattery.

Bryn recognises that she is equally attracted to both men and women, but her prejudices keep her from being attracted to anyone who isn't either Highlander or Roegadyn. She is concerned for the purity and longevity of the Highlander race, and so would be very reluctant to enter into sexual relations with a man of another race.<br><br>

==<div style="background:#ACD3EB;font-family:Georgia;font-size:40px;padding:1px;color:#FFFFFF;"><center>''''' Combat '''''</center></div>==

[[File:BrynHeader_Combat.png|1100px|]]
<br>

<br>
In battle Brynhilde favours the sword and shield, and prefers a longer blade to the shortsword or gladius. She is swift in battle and possessing of remarkable grace, fighting with a dancing, flourishing style of swordplay rarely seen among adventurers. She tends toward a more defensive stance, and most often on the battlefield can be found with shield raised, stood between her comrades and that which would harm them.

In combat, Bryn wears a combination of plate, chain and leather. The heavy plate she wears to guard her torso against the inevitable blows she endures as a defender, as well as to guard her sword-arm. She wears the lighter chain on her legs to preserve mobility, and the leather on her gauntlets and greaves to maintain flexibility.

She has incredible staying power; although she may have suffered heavy blows and her body screams with fatigue, she will fight until either her foe is defeated, or she is overwhelmed. Pain seems to have little effect on her.

Her strong Highlander body gives Bryn the raw strength to overwhelm most opponents in close-quarters combat, with the exception of Roegadyn and male Highlanders. However, she possesses little defence against magical and ranged attacks.

After many moons of intense practice and study, Brynhilde has achieved a greater mastery of curative magic. As she continues to improve, she seeks ways to utilise her spells in close-quarters battle, so as to better defend and protect her allies.

Although rarely employed, Brynhilde has an understanding of the basic functioning of magitek small arms and improvised explosives. She is also skilled in the use of the traditional Highlander weapon of the zweihander, or two-handed sword.

If given the choice, Bryn would rather not fight at all. Although she is not a pacifist, she detests senseless violence and never fights without good cause.<br>

<br>
<br>
Bryn is a Landsknecht, a follower of a little-known and proud martial tradition of Ala Mhigo. She is very selective about work she takes on, often agreeing to it only if she would not be required to violate her moral code in order to complete the job. As such, she has built up a modest reputation in Limsa Lominsa and Ul’dah as a reliable person who deals fairly and honourably with those she works with. She has a marked concern for the underdog and the downtrodden. Recently she has mostly concerned herself with the dealings of the secretive Aeon free company.

Bryn loves to ride, and she and her chocobo, Astridr, typically cover several malms every day. She finds a measure of peace in travelling, in cooking and reading, and sometimes in writing. She loves Chocobos and hounds, often preferring their company to that of other people.

She also has a secret, tragic love for trashy romance novels. You know, the really awful ones with titles like, ‘The Viscount’s Mistress’, and ‘The Doctor’s Bride’. Heaving bosoms abound!

Bryn likes music and stories, particularly romance. She enjoys drinking, and owing to her noble origins, is a talented dancer. Just perhaps not in the dancing styles you’d most often find in Eorzea’s taverns.

===Family===

Bryn was born to the distinguished Ala Mhigan noble family House Brandulfr. Her birth name was ''Adelfrida Brynhilde Brandulfr''.

'''Father:''' Jàrngrìmur Brandulfr ''(presumed deceased)''<br>

'''Mother:''' Adelhilde Brandulfr ''(deceased)''<br>

'''Younger brother:''' Bjollgrìmur Brandulfr ''(deceased)''<br>

'''Younger sister:''' Adele Brandulfr ''(estranged)''<br>

'''Niece:''' Adelheid Brandulfr ''(estranged)''<br>
<br>
===Linkshells and Organisations===

'''Aeon Free company''' : In the summer moons of 1578, Brynhilde was registered with the Immortal Flames as the leader of a new free company known only as 'Aeon'. It is an unusual company in the respect that it does not appear to actively recruit new members, and it also offers no mission statement or clue as to it's goals.

Dog possesses many of the traits Bryn typically frowns upon in others, yet she finds this Sea Wolf to have a certain charm about him. While she disapproves of his casual approach to sex and love, she admires Dog's frankness, sensitivity and devotion to his son. Her struggle to understand him runs alongside a strong sexual attraction Brynhilde can't deny, and finds deeply concerning.

</td>

<td style="width:50%";><font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font>'''[[Tiergan Vashir]]''' : Although their relationship began with mutual distrust, recent events have brought Brynhilde and Tiergan closer together. Close enough, even, for Bryn to place her life in Tiergan's hands. Bryn was pleasantly surprised to learn that they share a homeland, and has come to appreciate Tiergan's selflessness and combat proficiency. Having correctly guessed Tiergan's difficult past, Bryn also feels sympathetic toward the Miqo'te. Despite her thinly-veiled prejudice against most Miqo'te, Brynhilde views Tiergan almost as a brother.</td>

While some might find Ember's lack of any understanding of social mores odd or frustrating, for the most part Bryn finds them endearing. She has a maternal attitude toward the girl, and her protective urges over her can unfortunately lean toward the overly-fierce.

<td><font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font><font style="color:#F02311;" size="3">♥</font>'''[[Gharen Wolfsong]]''' : Ever happy to meet a fellow Highlander, Bryn first met Gharen in the Black Shroud, where she attempted to engage him in amiable conversation. Bryn intially found Gharen's taciturn nature quite frustrating, but time spent training and socializing together since has given her a better understanding of the man. Bells spent in conversation with Gharen have shown Bryn a kindly, honourable and admirable man whose company she greatly enjoys. She wishes to see him safe and happy, but has thus far maintained her distance out of respect for his pride.</td>

Aside from being a competent adventurer, Bryn enjoys Zaku's friendliness and eccentric nature. The whole referring-to-himself-in-the-third-person-thing doesn't even grate on her any more.</td>

While they initially had a warm friendship, certain revelations regarding Aryianna's past made Brynhilde more cautious of her. While she holds no ill will toward Ary personally, Bryn has come to the grim realisation that if it were necessary, she must be ready to do her harm. She acknowledges, however, that this would take its toll on her, as time has developed in Brynhilde a great degree of care for the Midlander.</spoiler></td>

Oak arrived in time to find a gravely wounded Brynhilde, whose life she saved by ripping a spear tip from her side so that the White Mage [[Ne'ci Aera]] could heal her. After that, the two began to develop a close friendship. As moons passed and the two spent time together, Bryn began to realise that her feelings for Oak ran deeper than she was ready to admit. Eventually the two confessed their feelings, and embarked upon a loving, affectionate and happy relationship. Oak's long absence in the cycle of 1578 was difficult for Brynhilde to cope with. Eventually she resolved to move on with her life, although it was no easy decision for her to make.</spoiler></td>

Certain things that have come to light over time, however, have soured Bryn's opinion of the Midlander. In particular, Nadeau's obvious affection for Varus is troubling to Bryn. To say that she does not trust Nadeau would be an understatement. Regardless, Bryn has not made this known to Nadeau. She is content to watch, and to learn. For now.</spoiler></td>

::* "She's certainly the charitable sort; I often see her goin' about the streets of Ul'dah an' the camps outside the gates, givin' gifts of food an' gil to the refugees."
::* "Likes her drink, that one! When she's not out with them 'venturers, she can usually be found in the pub."
::* "Don't bother, lad. That lass has a different suitor every sun of the week, but never takes a one of 'em to bed."

===''Moderate Rumors''===
::* "That's an odd bird she rides. Beautiful thing, but it's got a mean streak a malm wide. A bit like the rider, heh."
::* "She's a tricky woman to track down. I hear she never stays in the same place for more than two nights. Sounds like trouble to me."
::* "She's done well for herself. Aye, she used to be a down-an'-out, like most of the other Highlanders you see in the Sultanate. If only more refugees would care to follow her example, it'd do wonders to clean up cesspits like Pearl Lane."
::* "Isn't that--? No, no. I must be mistaken. But damn if she doesn't look like one of those wretched somnus junkies I used to see around the refugee camps."
::* "There are no records anywhere of anyone by that name having existed prior to the Calamity. She could've fallen to Eorzea from Dalamud for all I know."

===''Rare Rumors''===
::* "You'd do well to avoid that one. She's been seen in the company of the shadier types of Ul'dah. I don't know what she's involved in, but it can't be good."
::* "Rumour has it that she was one of the few poor souls who survived Carteneau, but just barely. It's hard to imagine what she might've seen and been through."
::* "There's a sizeable bounty on that woman's head. Questionable characters are willing to pay handsomely for her capture, but not for her death. Quite who these characters are working for is uncertain."
::* "Aye, that's her. ''Adelfrida Bloodwoad'', daughter of the resistance. So called because she used to paint her face with the blood of the Imperials she had slain in battle. What, you don't believe me? Bah, fine. Believe as you wish. But I'm tellin' you, that one's as the Highlanders of old; she's as vicious as they come."

===''1539 - 1558 : The Ala Mhigan Cycles''===
<br>
<spoiler>
Adelfrida Brandulfr (meaning,”Noble Beauty, Fire Wolf”) was born in Ala Mhigo on the 22nd Sun of the First Astral moon, 1539. The eldest child of the wealthy and highly-respect nobleman Járngrímur Brandulfr, Adelfrida was heir to a house possessing both ancient roots and proud standing. Járngrímur was a decorous, rational man, a staunch royalist, and a somewhat distant father who raised his children with careful precision, but little affection. Nevertheless, Adelfrida idolised him and was the very image of the dutiful daughter, obeying his edict that she act as a guardian and watchful eye over her two younger siblings, Bjollgrímur and Adele.

The siblings were inseparable, and lived a life of ease and privilege until the chaotic events of King Theodoric’s reign. Shortly after Theodoric began his persecution of the monks of the Fist of Rhalgr, Adelfrida’s mother, Adelheid, was charged with aiding enemies of the monarch and so was sentenced to public execution.
</spoiler>

===''1558 - 1559 : Rebellion''===
<br>
<spoiler>Thus the Brandulfr siblings fell in with the rebellion against Theodoric, which culminated in the end of his reign as the Garlean Empire moved in to Ala Mhigo. While many at that time viewed the Empire as liberators, this misconception was quickly dispelled when Garlean forces began to purge the city of its nobility and coerce Ala Mhigans into what was essentially slavery. The Brandulfrs then found themselves exiled from the city their family had called home for centuries.
</spoiler>
===''1559 - 1572 : The Resistance Cycles''===
<br>
<spoiler>Initially, Adelfrida and her siblings did not move west into Eorzea as many of those first refugees did. Instead, embittered by the loss of her home and way of life, Adelfrida succumbed to the urgings of her brother and joined the resistance movement against Garlemald. Those early days of the resistance saw some victories. But young Adelfrida was driven by a burning hatred and rage toward the Imperial invaders who she believed had taken her life from her.

Cycles passed, and still the family lingered in Gyr Abania, fighting Imperial forces wherever they found them, raiding their supply shipments and seizing whatever Garlean weapons and technology they could. The siblings fell in with a group of resistance fighters led by Dreki Ironmantle, an ex-captain in Theodoric's royal guard. Eventually, their accumulated, albeit modest, successes against the Imperials earned a reputation for the Brandulfr siblings, who by this point had been affectionately dubbed ‘The Pack’ by their comrades. But it was Adelfrida in particular who became something of the local resistance’s darling; with her flame-red hair, her youthful energy and ardent devotion to the cause, as well as her savagery on the field of battle, she and Dreki's company became rallying figures for several of the small resistance groups still remaining in the mountainous regions of Gyr Abania.

The resistance’s petty victories in the skirmishes against the Garleans in and around Gyr Abania did not satisfy Adelfrida. As the cycles passed and the Ala Mhigans seemed to grow no closer to retaking their home, her rage intensified steadily. It called for a blow to be struck against the Imperials in the region the likes of which they could never recover from. Eventually the resistance planned an operation with the potential to do just that.

Under Adelfrida’s leadership, a small unit of resistance fighters risked all to embark upon the mission to destroy a nascent Castrum in the Highlands. But in her hatred and zeal, Adelfrida could not anticipate the catastrophic consequences ahead of her.</spoiler>

===''1572 - Present Day : Without a Cause''===

<br>
<spoiler>''"... I've nothin' else tae do. When I finally let go, I thought I'd be free.

''Instead I floundered, an' felt lost without anythin' tae strive for, however hopeless.''

'' I can't be one of these aimless adventurers, content tae fight for fame an' fortune. T'is meaningless tae me."''</spoiler>

Bryn's identity as Adelfrida Brandulfr has been a closely-guarded secret for the last twenty Cycles, a necessary measure to avoid the Empire's hunting. If you intend to have your character allude to Bryn's history or identity, or her status as a fugitive, please speak to me first.

The correct pronunciation of her name would be "Breen-HILL-d' Voolf." The R should be briefly rolled, if possible. However, Bryn usually introduces herself simply as "Brin Wolf", as so few people are able to pronounce her name properly.

=== General<br/> ===

Daghbheri "Dogberry" Himalspyr was born in La Noscea from a long line of whalers. The name Himalspyr translates to "Heaven Spear", and it is said that the first to bear this name could throw their harpoon into the highest parts of the heavens. His childhood was normal and happy for your average Sea Wolf. Plenty of roughhousing and surfing. When he came of age, Daghbheri set out to become a whaler like the rest of the men in his family. After spending time aboard He soon became a prodigious harpooner, and amassed a modest amount of fortune and fame for his work. He even sometimes hints at a stint as a pirate. For a while, Daghbheri was satisfied with the way his life was going until the Garlean invasion. It was then that Daghbheri joined up with the Maelstrom. During the battle of Carteneau, Daghbheri was on a crew sent to investigate an anomaly in the tides most likely caused by Dalamud falling. Daghbheri watched as the moon broke apart and a small piece hit the water near him. The piece caused a wave that capsized his ship, The Syldra. Daghbheri went under and suffered major injuries, including the loss of his eye. While under, he saw the face of a dragon. Originally believing it to be Bahamut, he now believes it was Leviathan, and that for some reason Leviathan saved him. He woke up on a strange beach, and found himself a broken man. He spent years as a drifter, making money from bareknuckle boxing matches. It wasn't until recently, when he was able to build a decent support network of friends and contacts, that he took to the sea again. He picked up a spear, and managed to finance a ship with the help of several business partners. He named the ship "Syldra's Revenge" and seeks out Garlean and Primal threats upon the waters. He sees himself as living on borrowed time, and destined to throw himself against the worst the seas have to offer as a way to deal with the immense amount of survivor's guilt and post-traumatic stress he feels.

In spite of having ties to the Maelstrom, Dogberry is openly critical of it, believing that Limsa Lominsa deserves more than a military dictatorship. As such, he withholds information and cargo of use to the Maelstrom, giving it instead to neutral entities with similar goals to his.

=== Appearance ===

A hulking, massive Roegadyn, who looks like he was chiseled out of marble. He keeps his hair and beard dyed green and in deadlocks pulled back into a ponytail. You can see his natural blond hair coming out at the roots. His face is covered in scars, and his left eye is covered by an eyepatch. These days he dresses in a more formal fashion than he used to. He prefers a Limsa Lominsan overcoat and makes his face up in traditional hunter makeup from his ancestral tribal history.

=== Behavior ===

Dogberry comes across as cold at first. Often polite, but cold. His greetings, if he says anything at all, are monosyllabic. When striking up a conversation he tends to be direct. Once you begin talking to him, he warms up considerably, and can prove to be a decent conversationalist. Put a few drinks in him and he's downright boisterous. When dealing with others, he can be quite charitable and generous. He's always willing to help out someone down on their luck, or give something he has to someone who hasn't.

When not feeling overly social, Dogberry is prone to bouts of hypervigilance, which stems from his trauma on board The Syldra. To counter this, he throws himself into work and training, and failing that, surfing, intoxicating substances, and loose company. Dogberry is extremely reluctant to enter into a normal relationship due to the feeling that he is living on borrowed time. It wouldn't be fair for him to promise something he isn't sure he'll be alive to deliver tomorrow.

Inwardly, Dogberry considers himself one of the last of a dying breed. He holds on to more of his primitive Sea Wolf ancestral heritage than most do. As such, he often feels like an outsider, even among other Roegadyn. He chafes against the stereotype of the brutish idiot Roegadyn. He has a mind for business, and does his due diligence when it comes to his studies. He's not a genius, but he's average, and it bothers him how often that surprises people.

== Combat ==

=== General ===

Daghbheri was trained as a lancer by his family aboard whaling ships and other vessels of lesser repute, but hadn't picked up a spear in years. For a while he worked as a pugilist in the shady parts of Limsa Lominsa and Ul'dah. He has since studied the ways of the Monk and has rededicated himself to mastering the spear.

== Relationships ==

=== Family ===

Daghbheri is the only son, with two sisters. Only his father and one of his sisters are alive. His father lives in Aleport, and his younger sister lives in Gridania. His older sister died in the battle of Carteneau, and his mother died of natural causes a year later. He still sees his father regularly, but doesn't talk to his sister very often. Dogberry closely guards the secret that his sister is currently raising his son, who he abandoned after the Calamity killed his fiancée and left him a broken man.

== OOC Info ==

Hi! Let's RP! I'm willing to run with pretty much anything! RP's a game of give and take! I really don't like to RP fights unless there's an impartial means of resolving conflict, like dice. I don't ERP, I just fade to black!

Dogberry is a composite of a lot of different inspirations to me, most of all stemming from the book Moby Dick and other literary depictions of life at sea.

'''Flickering Ember''' is a blind roegadyn hailing from Eastern Thanalan. The girl has accomplished the seemingly impossible by growing up in solitude within the arid region. She is a feral child who has been partially assimilated into society over the course of several years. When she was first discovered in the wilds of Thanalan shortly after the Calamity, she was essentially mute with the exception of a few toddler-like words. Though with often animal-like mannerisms and a lack of understanding towards society and culture, Ember keeps home in The Goblet along with her free company, Aeon.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #C94C33;font-size:14px;color:#120A07;">Physical Description</div>===
Despite her youth, Ember's height matches many of the tallest roegadyns. It is easily her most apparent feature as she towers over most people, including many roegadyns. Her next most recognizable features are her ashy dark skin, fiery red hair, distinctive facial markings, and her odd eyes. Ashy dark skin contrasts with her bright red-orange fiery hair, creating the look of a young woman who encompasses the spirit of the very volcanoes her clan hails from. Her body is marked by several scars she has obtained from her rugged lifestyle. None of these are grisly battle scars, but rather small, faint, and faded ones that are too difficult to notice without staring. Aside from her scars, she has two more noticeable markings elsewhere on her body. The more obvious one is the claw like marking that spreads from one end of her face to another. It appears to be permanently graphed into her skin. The other is runic symbol on her left upper back, just over where her heart is. It is clearly of a magical nature with its glowing chill blue and intricate design.

Aside from height, Ember lives up to another of her race's features with her muscular build. A lifestyle of hunting and surviving with no one to depend on but herself has kept her physically strong. However, she is not as well chiseled as an experienced, fully grown roegadyn warrior. Ember's weight can fluctuate as well depending on her current living situations. Much of the time her friends and family provide her with food, something on which Ember indulges on without limit. This helps her put on some much needed fat. Overall, she is a muscular, physically strong girl who could still use some toughening up to reach her full potential.

Ember's eyes are another item of note. The young woman is blind though she is without cataracts or any noticeable injury to the eyes. They are normal and healthy. Clues of her condition can be gathered from how she looks at her environments around her. She does not make eye contact wit objects or people nor do her pupils shift much. Often times this can result in her appearing to stare at something or someone endlessly.

Her voice is on the husky side but lightened by Ember's typical inquisitive, enthusiastic, and generally happy demeanor.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #C94C33;font-size:14px;color:#120A07;">Personality</div>===

Ember is a person of extremes. She is either quiet and mistrusting, hostile and aggressive, or sweet and affectionate. In new situations or around those she does not know, she can be reserved and suspicious. However, her trust can be easily won by gift-giving, aiding her when she is in need, or providing her with affection. If Ember feels threatened for whatever reason, even if the gesture is relatively mundane or harmless, she will lash out. She is very protective of things she claims as her own and this can extend past just items of value. Most importantly, Ember loves and desires attention. She longs for the approval of others and places extreme importance in impressing others that she has a strong opinion of.

She is curious of almost everything and enjoys actively interacting with people and/or items. Even the smallest things in life can bring her great joy. She can also be stubborn at times, choosing when or when she will not listen to others. However, the more she sees an individual as a superior, the more she will be willing to listen to them. Her solitude can lead her to be insensitive but the well-being of others is a top concern for her. Above all, she is affectionate and seeks happiness through others.

Apart from this, Ember acts on instinct and irrational thought to guide her in decision-making, a product of her upbringing. Often times she is more of a do-er than a thinker. Because of her upbringing, she hasn’t had the advantage of education but more importantly, she hasn’t been mentally stimulated the same way others who have grown up around people have. She did not learn to speak until very late in her life, troubling for her mental development. She is overall not as intelligent as many others for this reason, although she holds no mental conditions. More times than not, though, she is simply ignorant and can make up for her lack of knowledge with cleverness, should the situation call for it.

:<font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font>[[Jericho Lapointe]] : Ember met Jericho at a time of turmoil in his life. In their first meeting, Jericho could not control his magical powers and was unleashing a series of dangerous spells. Ember was able to diffuse him by simply taking his hand and holding it. Ever since then, the two have shared a close bond that has taken a romantic turn. Jericho needs Ember for her positivity and smiles and Ember needs hims for his grounded and supportive nature.

:<font style="color:#F0F078;" size="3">♥</font>[[Brynhilde Wulf]] : At the time Ember met Brynhilde, she was still living on her own in the desert. Brynhilde triggered a chain of events that lead to Ember gradually connecting to other people more and more. It is thanks to the older woman that Ember has been able to find love, family, and friends. She not only sees Brynhilde as her mother but she also sees her as a rolemodel. Because of this, Ember both seeks comfort from Brynhilde as well as a need to impress her. Additionally, in terms of authority, Ember views Brynhilde's word as stone.

:<font style="color:#F0F078;" size="3">♥</font>[[Faolan Woodlock]] : A young man whom she shares quite a few similarities with. Both grew up in the silence of the wilderness, caring for themselves in harsh regions--him in snowy lands and Ember in the arid regions of Thanalan. They share a wanting for others that can feel far away or awkward due to their upbringing in solitude. Because of this, Ember takes a refuge in Faolan's presence where they have an unspoken bond. Although the woodsman often has trouble with being touched, Ember often holds his hand whenever she can.

:<font style="color:#F0F078;" size="3">♥</font>[[Sophia Grave]] : In many ways, Sophia and Ember are vastly different from each other. Sophia has proven a trustworthy ally and companion to Ember. Her very presence brings her great comfort and delight. Sophia is both knowledgeable and a strong opponent--two traits that Ember holds in high regard. In short, Sophia has always been there for her which has made Sophia's recent decisions all the more painful for the young roegadyn who loves and looks up to her like a sister. Recent events have pitted Sophia against the rest of her family--something that has broken Ember's heart.

:<font style="color:#F0F078;" size="3">♥</font>[[Tiergan Vashir]] : Tiergan is like a vastly older brother to Ember. Where she views Zaius as fun, Tiergan is regarded as the more 'parent-like' one in his willingness to scold her. She only sometimes listens to him but recognizes that Tiergan has experience and wisdom that is often invaluable. Perhaps one could question the extent of wisdom a man who has spent much of his life fighting in the arenas could impart. However, it is precisely because of Tiergan's physical aptitude that leads her to such beliefs. With him as a companion to help guide her through several traumatic events, she holds him in high regard. Even if Tiergan can be a bit of a grump, having him around is always a celebration for Ember.

:<font style="color:#F0F078;" size="3">♥</font>[[Zaius Rhal'seer]] : Like Tiergan, Ember views Zaius as a vastly older brother. However, their relationship dynamic differs dramatically. Where Ember thinks Tiergan as stern, Zaius is fun-loving. Long stretches of absence and their brief meetings only serve to heighten her value of him. She has a more affectionate bond with Tiergan but Zaius is the cool older brother whom Ember admires strongly. Intrigued and amazed by his stories of power, Ember holds an immense respect for him by his sheer strength alone. His power, cleverness, dominance, and knowledge make her view him as an ideal rolemodel, alongside Brynhilde. In short, she wants to grow up to be him.

:<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">♥</font>[[Caen Jabari]] : Caen is an upbeat teenaged miqo'te, very recently turned adult. Like Leilani, she sees him as an equal of sorts. Ember likes Caen's positive presence that could dissipate any frown. Despite his positivity, Ember knows it is housed by an inner sadness. She was there when the amnesiac magically received his memories back--of which she has been unable to forget the tragic death of his mother. Ember feels for Caen's loneliness but he always excels in making ::her:: never feel alone. She appreciates how willing he is to touch her and let her touch him. Caen has often forgotten that Ember is blind, to which Ember also fails to realize he does not know due to his willingness to guide her by the hand. She often questions some of his logic, finding some of his reasonings on certain concepts to be strange.

:<font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">♥</font>[[Leilani Leilai]] : Leilani is a teenaged lalafell girl whom Ember thinks of as an equal, perhaps not in combat, but in her handling of the world. Leilani is chipper and enthusiastic. She is a practitioner of the arts: music, dancing, pies. ( Ember especially likes the pies.) When Ember is with Leilani, she always feels welcome.

:<font style="color:#679AE7;" size="3">♥</font>[[Chachanji Gegenji]] : For a brief period, Ember had become her old feral self for unknown reasons. Since her transitioning back to normal, Ember remembers the care he had placed in her. His presence is calming and memories of him combing her hair provide a somewhat instinctual interest in his hair. He has a kind and friendly nature that Ember feels she can confide in and look to for aid.

:<font style="color:#679AE7;" size="3">♥</font>[[Daghbheri Himalspyr]] : Or simply "Dog" to Ember. The two first befriended over him gifting a meal to her. Since then, Dogberry has become an adult friend to her. She appreciates his kind, casual, and laidback nature. She finds him to be approachable with interesting topics to discuss.

:<font style="color:#679AE7;" size="3">♥</font>[[Memeli Meli]] : First met at Memeli's own girls' only slumber party, Ember has since then found a friend in the pink lalafell. Memeli is loud, playful, and most of all FUN. It is quite easy to be entertained when she is around. Memeli is also noticeably caring towards her friends. Ember adores it whenever the young woman addresses or acknowledges her. She is convinced that Memeli has sprouted bunny ears due to how consistently they are worn.

:<font style="color:#679AE7;" size="3">♥</font>[[Staelufre Lysmerl]] : Staelufre is a person who often steals much of Ember's interest. The miqo'te woman has some kind of connection to magic that Ember has never known, she tells the most amazing, fun, and informative stories, knows the roegadyn language, and she is often getting into trouble. She is fascinated by every word Staelufre speaks. Ember also sees Staelufre as a person that respects and regards her as an equal, despite Ember viewing her as having superior knowledge of the world.

:<font style="color:#679AE7;" size="3">♥</font>[[Virara Wakuwa]] : Virara had also met Ember in her feral state, though she scarcely remembers Virara's presence from that time period. She does, however, remember her and is intrigued by her. They share similarities, both being feral children. They also share a love of food. Ember often misunderstands her customs, especially anything that relates back to Virara's Master. However, Ember greatly respects her fighter's spirit.

:<center><font style="color:#E6D5D5;" size="3">♥</font>[[Jancis Milburga]] : Ember has had a few meetings with Jancis. Jancis is always polite and kind to Ember. She constantly interprets Jancis' manner of speaking as a sign of the woman holding an unspoken respect and/or affection towards Ember. She is unsure how Jancis knows her but she goes along with it instead of letting it bother her.

:<center><font style="color:#E6D5D5;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#BEC3BC;" size="3">●</font> [[Teld're Eska'aldren]] : Teld're is an enigma to Ember. She often forgets how she met him or how he knows her. In his mysterious nature, Ember is curious of the extent of his knowledge and power, speculating that he must have a hidden depth of strength that she has not yet witnessed. She is slightly wary of him but has taken a liking to him due him being amiable towards her on a consistent basis. His past as something of a slave and his connection to Tiergan and Staelufre provide her interest in him.

:<font style="color:#BEC3BC;" size="3">●</font>[[Gus Pumpkinweed]] : Met only once. Ember dislikes Gus Pumpkinweed for one simple reason: Her friends do. However, she also views him as skimping out on a promise to give food. (Though in reality he did take an interest in gifting Ember food)

:<font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font>[[Reginald Ozrik]] : Initially mistrustful of him after L'aenoh's accusing him of hurting Staelufre, her first impression of the man was not improved even after the misconceptions had been cleared up. Though perhaps justified in his agitation, after being punched by L'aenoh, Ember took this to represent how Reginald is. His poking fun of the way she spoke particularly struck a self-conscious nerve. Even after he apologized she was unable to forgive him and took the apology further to be an insult.

:<font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font>[[Sebastian Grave]] : Sophia's brother and a source of mistrust for Ember due to her negative first impression of him. She views the young man as aggressive, aloof, and callous. Subsequent meetings have done little to improve her opinion of him despite being mild encounters.

===General===
Iskierka has very few memories of Ala Mhigo. So few that she feels only an abstract attachment. Her father, a mystic of middling renown, swept her and her older brother away to escape the Garlean occupation. She has lived her life moving from camp to camp. During her time in Little Ala Mhigo, Iskierka showed a knack for magic when her "imaginary friend" manifested as a vague aetheric cloud. She began studying with the few books her father managed to keep. As she studied, it was obvious that her father was into some things best left untouched. While her father tried to shelter her from danger, he himself had been touched by madness. One day he snapped. He attacked Iskierka and began carving occult symbols into her face. They found him chanting incantations over her, as she laid silent and distant with shock. Her brother incapacitated him, and put Iskierka into the care of the camp healers. He took their father out into the desert and burned him alive. From then on, Iskierka was raised by her older brother, who found work as a miner.

Daghbheri Himalspyr

Dogberry:

{{Infobox-character

}}

==Character==
===General===

Daghbheri "Dogberry" Himalspyr was born in La Noscea from a long line of whalers. The name Himalspyr translates to "Heaven Spear", and it is said that the first to bear this name could throw their harpoon into the highest parts of the heavens. His childhood was normal and happy for your average Sea Wolf. Plenty of roughhousing and surfing. When he came of age, Daghbheri set out to become a whaler like the rest of the men in his family. After spending time aboard He soon became a prodigious harpooner, and amassed a modest amount of fortune and fame for his work. He even sometimes hints at a stint as a pirate. For a while, Daghbheri was satisfied with the way his life was going until the Garlean invasion. It was then that Daghbheri joined up with the Maelstrom. During the battle of Carteneau, Daghbheri was on a crew sent to investigate an anomaly in the tides most likely caused by Dalamud falling. Daghbheri watched as the moon broke apart and a small piece hit the water near him. The piece caused a wave that capsized his ship. Daghbheri went under, but suffered major injuries, including the loss of his eye. He woke up on a strange beach, and found himself a broken man. He has not picked up a spear since that day, and now makes a living fighting in bareknuckle boxing matches, as well as taking on odd jobs like bouncing at Soliloquy.

===Appearance===

A hulking, massive Roegadyn, who looks like he was chiseled out of marble. He keeps his hair and beard dyed green and in deadlocks pulled back into a ponytail. You can see his natural blond hair coming out at the roots. His face is covered in scars, and his left eye is covered by an eyepatch. He's known for wearing a loose pink cotton shirt that seems out of place for someone of his size and demeanor, but somehow he makes it work.

===Behavior===

Daghbheri presents himself as a pretty laid back guy, if a little uncaring at times. Once people get to know him, it becomes obvious that Daghbheri does indeed care a lot about people. He's generous with his money, time, and moko grass, and seems to enjoy other people's company. He seems to be an empathetic person and a loyal friend.

On the other hand, Daghbheri shows signs of post-traumatic stress from his shipwreck experience. He occasionally has episodes of nervous behavior and hypervigilance. There are times, it seems, when he is incapable of relaxing. To remedy this, he throws himself into work and training, or failing that, surfing, drinking, and moko grass. He shows signs of a death wish as well, taking on risky behavior without regard for consquences.

==Combat==
===General===

Daghbheri was trained as a lancer by his family aboard whaling ships and other vessels of lesser repute, but hasn't picked up a spear in years. He has been working now as a pugilist in the shady parts of Limsa Lominsa and Ul'dah. He seems to be coming into his own as a pugilist, but will he ever pick up a spear again?

==Tendencies==
===Likes===
::* Busy places full of people.
::* Strong drink, good moko grass.
::* Good company.

===Dislikes===
::* Silence.
::* People determined to kill the mood.
::* Pointless conflict.

===Hobbies/Talents===
::* Surfing.
::* Weaving.
::* Shameless flirting (Is that a hobby or a talent? You decide!)

==Relationships==
===Family===

Daghbheri is the only son, with two sisters. Only his father and one of his sisters are alive. His father lives in Aleport, and his younger sister lives in Gridania. His older sister died in the battle of Carteneau, and his mother died of natural causes a year later. He still sees his father regularly, but doesn't talk to his sister very often.

===Friends===

;; [[Abaigeal Causland]] - Possibly his closest friend. His feelings for her border on more than friendship, but Daghbheri's views on relationships have prevented him from active attempts at courtship.
;; [[Xenedra Ambreaus]] - "Red" amuses Daghbheri to no end. He sees her as a kindred spirit in their own libertine lifestyles.
;; [[Mirion Black]] - Daghbheri respects Mirion as a fighter and a veteran of the bloodsands. He likes his sense of humor, and enjoys his company greatly.
;; [[Scarlet Willow]] - A co-worker that Daghbheri regards fondly. Calls her by her Roegadyn name out of respect.
;; [[Fearless Wynn]] - Mostly impressed by his work ethic and his ability to "goozle" dudes through tables.
;; [[Mikael]] - Another fighter that Daghbheri respects greatly. Though he is very set in his ways, Daghbheri thinks he might understand Mikael a little more than most.
;; [[Endemerrin Rosethorne]] - Daghbheri calls him "boss", by virtue of him being his boss. He sees Endemerrin as a forward thinker, and supports his views on Magitek.

==Rumors==
===Common Rumors===
::* "That guy? He sleeps on the beach here most nights. Wakes up with the tide and starts surfing. Doesn't he have a home?"
::* "He's a good fighter, he just needs to watch his blind side. That left hook gets him almost every time. He's got a long way to go, but he could be great someday."
::* "The man comes in to Soliloquy every day, sits at the same spot, and orders a Rocky Chocobo and a stout. Pretty sure he's got an iron gut."

===Moderate Rumors===
::* "Oh, that guy? He used to be a damn fine harpooner. Captains used to compete to get him on their crew. Look at him now. Shame."
::* "I seen him making eyes at that Soliloquy waitress not too long ago. The guy aims high, that's for sure."
::* "He looks mean as hell with all those scars, but he's a big softie inside. I caught him playing peekaboo with a random baby and its mother in Ul'dah the other day."

===Rare Rumors===
::* "He showed a buddy of mine a bloody piece of coral that he said took his eye in the calamity. Pretty gross."
::* "I sailed with him once. He was a totally different person then. Whatever happened to him, it's like it killed a part of him."
::* "I saw him pacing up and down a pier in Limsa Lominsa. He must have been at it for an hour, just pacing and cursing."

===PC Rumors (Feel free to add your own)===
::* Daghbheri is actually Llymlaen's son. She formed his body from sea stones, his hair from seaweed and his eyes from droplets of the sea during a storm. That's where his coloring comes from.
::*
::*

==OOC Info==
Hi! Let's RP! I'm willing to run with pretty much anything! RP's a game of give and take!
I really don't like to RP fights unless there's an impartial means of resolving conflict, like dice.
I don't ERP, I just fade to black!

Dogberry is a composite of a lot of different inspirations to me, most of all stemming from the book Moby Dick and other literary depictions of life at sea.

<div style="font-size: 10px">('''Abaigeal Causland ''' is a rather playful and flirtatious Highlander Hyur who specializes in swordplay, she is also a fan of daggers and throwing knives in which she incorporates into her dancing. She is always found with a warm smile on her face and bright and sunny disposition that she ebbs and flows onto others around her. She tries to understand and grasp the events of Eorzea through her friends and patrons, though she still misunderstands or is ignorant to some events.)</div>

:'''Height:''' 6 fulms, 2 ilms - for a Highlander she is one of the tallest females. She usually stands slightly taller than a tall male Midlander and slightly shorter than a short male Elezen.

:'''Weight:''' 145 ponz – She has a dancers build. Muscle tone where expected, a round bottom and a modest amount of breast. She tends to be more muscle then most would assume.

:'''Body:''' Abaigeal is slight of frame and often considered rail-thin, Compared to most of the Highlander race that she takes after on her mother's side. Though this is often deceiving s most of it is solid muscle. Her thighs and calves are well tones from the dancing skill she has acquired. While she is thin she does however have curves in the right places with soft round hips, a modest and perky bust. Her upper arm strength is attributed to the sword handling while dancing as she has to be able to twist and twirl any size blade about. She does however pride herself on her long legs.

:'''Complexion:''' Pale, peaches and cream with tints of rose upon her cheeks. There is a small and light smattering of freckles that cross the bridge of her nose and dissipate gradually under her eyes. She had small scars that have grown faint over the years upon her hands and forearms which are also calloused from working with blades. Her feet are usually calloused and often dirty as she parades about barefoot. At first it was because of lack of affordability. Now it's more a preference as to not hinder her while she dances.

:'''Face:''' Abaigeal's face is youthful with full rosy cheeks, freckles, and full pouty lips. Her eyes are a bright and vibrant emerald green with a dark hunter green rim on the outside. It is often said that if someone looks upon them for long enough they will swear that her eye are smiling themselves. Her ears are pierced three times each: two holes on the bottom of her lobe with silver rings in them. And two conch piercings in the cartilage with silver ear cuffs.

:'''Hair:''' While the color is often described as russet or a deep burgundy, it's often changes color depending on the time of the cycle. While colder times it's darker in nature the warmer seasons its lighter. Still she has the same reddish highlighting. Her hair has been usually worn short with her natural curls causing a state of perpetual bed head. She is constantly debating on whether to grow it out or not. A ruthless battle that it is, of course when it gets to the awkward point she chops it all off. Though, she does have a single braid that hangs down on the right side of her face.

:'''Clothing&&Apparel:''' Abaigeal's fashion is more performance geared. She had several flowing skirts and tops made of chiffons and sheers. The skirts are long full circle skirts that fall to her ankles with high slits up to her hips. Underneath is a pair of small form fitting pair of shorts that appear painted on; if she is not wearing matching dance bottoms. The slits are for access to throwing daggers that are strapped to her thighs when out on excursions. When she is not wearing them the function is dance related and offer gratuitous peeks to her lengthy legs.

:When adventuring which she hasn't done much of she tends to dress practical, for once wearing proper shoes and clothing conducive to actually climbing about and running through who knows what. Though As of late she has found to take a liking to the sword and shield often donning plate armor.

:'''Speech&&Accenting:''' Abaigeal has an accent that is noted as foreign by most. She will often replace "I's" with "Ah's" and shorten some words while using "Ye" for "You". Along with her accent she will also use her country's colloquialisms which can often be misinterpreted. The sound of her voice is often cheerful and energetic. Though, it can be sultry when with ones she is intimate with.

:'''Demeanor:''' Abai is drawn to the concept of living life outside the box. She resists being caught up in conventional boundaries and rules, and actively seeks out change for her benefit and often for the benefit of others as a whole. Abai just doesn't sit around hoping for things to come to her. She is more of a go-getter that will do what she can and what she wants. Hence one of the reasons she has left Eri'Lan'.

:She has a bit of a playful jesting streak that causes her to constantly go head to head in a battle of witty retorts. Mostly at [[Soliloquy Tavern]] one can find such banter and back and forth's between her and other patrons. Abai is determined to stand her ground and eventually get you to believe her. If she tells you the sky is Neon yellow by the end of the night you just might thinks so too, unless of course ye took a bad dose of Rocky Chocobo. That also comes from being a true Eri'ish bony lass. She can develop quite the temper and tear you a new one when you least expect it. Something about Eri'ish women and bad tempers, you know hell hath no fury like a woman scorn. Note of advise unless you enjoy getting your head torn off don't piss off the lass.

:Abai does posses a sweet natured side. Her mother bless her soul said it was because she is everyone's sweetheart being born on the start of day of Valentione's Day. She can be the one to let you cry on her shoulder, tell your secrets too. Or hell just enjoy being in her company. She can give you the warm fuzzies.

:'''Quirks&&Ticks:''' She has a strange affinity to walking about barefoot. Twirls her hair around her finger when annoyed or thinking, at least when it's long. When she wears it short she plays with her braid. Abai also tends to make a TSK noise when she doesn't agree with actions or words. She picks at her nails when nervous or thinking of what to say. Stammers and blushes when extremely nervous, flustered, or in the presence of someone she...fancies.

::* '''Father: Killian Causland (50's)'''—Born in one of the City States associated with the Island Clusters off to the North-West. Native folk know it as Eri’lan’. Not well known as outsiders, as they have yet to give it a name or put it on the map. It's got a blend of all sorts much like Eorzea. Its believed that long ago there were quite a few Eorzeans had traveled North-West in expansion to claim the land for Eorzea, only when they arrived they fell in love with the land and the natives it was had to leave. Killian is a good natured man business man who married a young foreign woman who landed off the coast of his village when he was just a young lad of 19 cycles. A striking young woman that towered above him caught his eye and he had never regretted it. He currently still resides in the Island Clusters, only traveling to Eorzea for Merchant trips and to check on Abaigeal.

::* '''Mother: Sabine (Rainer) Causland (Deceased)''' Highlander Hyur that was a part of a nomadic tribe of peoples. A ruthless and almost savage people one would say. While amidst a squirmish with a group of Sea Wolf's that eventually ended on their ship, a storm had struck and set the ship off course to the North-West landing them on a place the natives called Eri'Lan'. Upon landing and waking up from the ship wreckage she found the people had taken a kindness to her and her people. Assisting to the wounded and tending to the weak. The people went as far as to offering their supplies and homes to the taller robust strangers and the remaining Sea Wolf crew. She had met Killian and his family that day, eventually falling for and wedding into his family.

::* '''Brother: Faolan Causland (31)'''—Oldest child of the Causland's. Faolan while five years older than his sister had always felt the need to protect her. While he never really saw her as "sister" he had always seemed to note that she was able to keep up with him and his best friend Ayden. As years went by his need to protect and look after his sister faded as it proved she could do more and more herself; almost becoming more useful and better at things that he was supposed to be good at. While he never showed his jealousy or resentment he often wished that Abaigeal would fall from her pedestal that their father had placed her upon. A month before her 16th birthday, that day would come. He regretted harboring any ill feeling and has strived to at the very least keep in touch with his Sister. He has since married and has produced a daughter. One whose spirit reminds him very much of his beloved sister.

The rough form that would have come from her mother’s “Highlander” side is Abigail. Still, the same meaning but with her father’s origin. Her last name has a few interesting meanings. Some believe it's from a derivative of the trade "carpenter". Though others know Causland is more widely known for Northern Eri'Lan', but has been found in some Southern Eri'Lan' linage. The Original origin of the name is unknown though thought to be nomadic people who had migrated about.

:'''Aliases/Nicknames:'''

:::'''Abai:''' The shortened version of her name that started off only being used by family and those she is familiar with. However it is now used at Soliloquy Tavern by her patrons as it's easier to understand slurred. Either way she often feels that most of her patrons that come around regularly are her friends.

:::'''Abs:''' Only Myllor calls her this and gets away with it. Anyone else she will kindly correct and ask to please be called Abai or Abaigeal.

::::'''0 -''' ''Joyous is she who was born on the day of Valentiones.''

:::::<spoiler>::<i>"Joyous is she who was born on the day of Valentiones,"</i> was the blessing whispered over the tiny babe quietly sleeping in her mother's loving embrace. She was of soft peaches and cream skin coated with a hint of rose colored blush to her cheeks, chin and nose. Small freckles pepper the newborns face, while thick dark lashes line her lids. A proud father standing over mother and child as a five year old mop headed lad peek up from the side of the covers.

::"She's beautiful...every spitting feature of her Ma." He crooned idly stroking the long and sweat matted locks of the labored woman. "She even has yer peaceful sleeping features..." His smile splitting his features as a large calloused hand gently stroked the babe's cheek.

::"Aye...She is Beautiful...Though I see she has more of her Da...The pert little nose...and the—" She was silenced by a soft kiss that was placed upon her lips. A ghost of mused utterance bubbled from the woman's lips. "Killian...ye keep that up and the two will have a another shortly after..." She jested shifting her arm a bit.

::"Faolan, Meet your sister..." She raised her elbow to as so teh young lad could catch a better glimpse. His brows furrowed with a pout upon his lips. "What's wrong my little Wolf?" She question the boy with a chuckle.

::With a sharp exhale the youth clambered upon the mother's bed crawling closer and gently poking the Sleeping girl's cheek. His brows furrowed again as he finally replied. "Mama...This...is a seester...Ah wanted a brudder..." He woeful sighed again before questioning. "What can Ah do with a lass..." He frowned again as the two parents chuckled rather bemused.

::"Ah me boy...she may look like a doll now...but ye'll see. She'll find a way to bring ye joy—joy..." Killians face light up as he looked to his wife. "Sabine...Ah think Ah have a name..."

::The tired woman quirked a brow. "Oh? You do? You mean I don't get to pick this time?" She chuckled, her slight movements lightly jostling the sleeping bad as so she uttered a soft and peaceful coo. "Oh...we shouldn't wake the wee one..." She whispered.

::"Aye,aye...but her name...Abaigeal...It means—"

::"It means Joyous...or one who brings joy..." Sabine weakly smiled up to husband. "Tis the same back home..." She looked to the little one resting before kissing the top of the red and russet tressed babe. "What do you think Faolan?" She questioned the young lad her gaze rising from her daughter to her son.

::"Ah still think she should be a brudder...And Ah don't know //hooow// she will bring joy." The five year old crossed his arms in a pout before his features soften. A small hand reached out and caught her brothers finger in her sleep. His hazel eyes widen for a moment before a smile crossed his face.

::"Da!! Da!!! She—She touched me first!!!" He beamed brightly as the infant hadn't moved since placed in her mother's arms. "She...er...Aba-..Abai--Abai-ge-al. She touched me!!! Ah'm her favorite!!" he proudly mused and sputtered with excitement.

::"Seems Faolan, will have no problem with a sister..." Sabine cooed reaching her hand up for her husband's.

::"Aye...seems so..." He smiled back taking her hand in his. "Seems that our lit'le lass is also earning her name this namesday..." he mused.
</spoiler>

::::'''5 -''' ''Death of her Mother, A Lass is raised a Lad.''

:::::<spoiler>Abaigeal without her mother was raised along side her brother. Her father having no indication of what young ladies should or shouldn't know raised her as a "second son" of sorts. She grew up sort of tomboyish learning how to do things that was traditionally considered male of the house.</spoiler>

::::''' 7 -''' ''Learning the ways of the house...someone has too.''

:::::<spoiler>Still learning things such as hunting, and fishing she hadn't quiet realized that there was things such as gender roles. Not until a family moved in next door. They had a son her brothers age. The two siblings would often go over to play, however the older woman took a curious interest in her. Wondering why she hadn't quite learned some of the expected "normal" things that young girls usually know by that age. Not that the kinder woman couldn't understand that it was probably more fun to learn how to hunt and skin marmot then to clean and wash clothes. Still feeling she should at least help Killian, Abaigeal was soon learning how to cook and do wash and learn various house mouse chores.</spoiler>

::::'''10 -''' ''Me & My Brother &--& His Friend.''

:::::<spoiler>Ayden. His name was Adyen and he could climb trees faster then Faolan! He was faster at running and better with a bow. But certain not nearly as good with a blade as Abai. The three children were inseparable.Pretending they were adventures going on a grand expedition. Like three peas in a pod. Of course this also the awkward age when Abai stared to realize that boys were...uh...boys. Her attitude would fluctuate between blushy blushy and seeing Ayden as nothing more then a brother.Her first crush ever.</spoiler>

::::'''15 -''' ''A Proposal one //can// refuse.''

:::::<spoiler>Killian had taken a few trips to the homeland of her mother. His travels as a merchant taking hi to new places and meeting new people. Over the years he had developed a relationship with a wealth elezen merchant who happened to have a son about a few cycles ahead of Abai. The two felt it would be great to have a union of trade. The elezen merchant having expand his horizons to the Isle City-States across the water with out having to do the actual work. The only catch would be to ensure that the business deal not go south was to send Abaigeal to be a pawn of business. She would wed their son,and she would become a mindless trapped doll that would be required to learn in the trade and help her "husband" in away possible. Needless to say. It wasn't long after her father had her pack her things. She was thinking she was going to accompany him on this trip just after her fifteenth cycle, only when they reached the pier she learned the truth. Terrified, scared, and with reckless abandon she ran getting swept away by the crowds and finding herself on another ship. It didn't matter where it was going. But where ever it was. It would be her choice. </spoiler>

:'''Name Scheme for Abaigeal and her Family''':
:As when Abaigeal was created , her intended was to be an Irish like hyur. Her speech was to be a replication dialect and lingo of such. Especially with the term “Highlander” for a Clan descriptor. My head immediately took it to “Gaelic Highlander’s” However, with the name scheme info that was released, It seems I lucked out and don’t have to change anything really! Except for finding Germanic-Irish names, which are often associated with Palatine Germans, (Lutheran’s who were prosecuted by the French and driven from Germany to England. Who migrated to Ireland) Anyhow on to explanations!

::'''Abaigeal Causland- (“Joyful or Joyous”)''' The name Abaigeal is spelled with the Gaelic pronunciation. The Germanic form that would have come from her mother’s “Highlander” side is Abigail. Still the same meaning but with her father’s origin

::'''Sabine (Rainer) Causland – (“Tribe of Sabine” “Advice-&-Army”)'''. The name “SABINE” itself is a female Germanic name as well as the surname RAINER. They are referenced to be kind of brute force and tribal with names that instill fear or are graphic. While SABINE is the name of an actual nomadic tribe that existed throughout Europe, it seemed appropriate.

:::Rainer- Is name that can be interpreted as “Wise Army” Or “Army Adviser” Which fits with the powerful connotation that is supposed to be shown in the “HIGHLANDER” name scheme. It’s origin is also Palatine, but leans more towards Germanic.

::'''Killian Causland (“Associated with Church” “[absolom] Peace”)'''. This is the Huge tying in factor to the whole name scheme of tying Irish and German names together to create Abaigeal. Killian or Cillian means “associated with the Church” and comes from A missionary that traveled across Europe and about the Rhines. The Rhines is where the Palatine people had roughly originated.

:::The name Causland is more widely known for Scottish, but has been found in some Irish linage. The Original origin of the name is unknown though thought to be nomadic people who had migrated from Europe.

::'''Faolan Causland –("Wolf" or "Follower of the Warrior")''' It seemed like something a Highlander would name their son but incorporates “Eri’lan’” naming.

:'''Name/Alias:''' Elle/Lauren or you can call me Abai.
