==Appearance==
Years learning how to hunt and trap animals in the Black Shroud followed with a harder life in Gridania after the Calamity have kept Jana lean and toned. The clothing she wears reflects her own self-image as an adventurer, usually being simple and protective. She's gotten used to wearing a pair of glasses while working for Maelvaan's Gate, needed for her to "work the damn grimoire," though she will never admit that they also help her accuracy with a bow. Late nights of studying as well as losing sleep from her own stresses have led to Jana going around with dark circles under her eyes and a somewhat slouchy posture.
==History==
While all Jana will voluntarily share with most others is that she's an adventurer originally from Gridania, she was actually raised in a small Keeper of the Moon settlement in the East Shroud. It was there that Jana learned the basics of using a spear and a bow, how to track and trap game, and how to turn it into food and leather, all while well within the bounds enforced by the Wood Wailers. However, much of what she knew was wiped out by the Calamity, and the Wailers that her family had known had gone off to war and never returned. The remaining Keepers scattered with the subsequent Garlean establishment of Castrum Oriens, some making it to larger living groups in the area, others retreating further into the forest to live as poachers. Jana's mother Dina was able to escape to Gridania with her two children, but Jana and her sister Khena weren't able to save her from an illness she had caught while traversing the shroud. The two young Miqo'te scraped out a living by hunting small game around the city and selling the meager meat and furs to other refugees for a few years. It was during these first years of the seventh umbral era that Jana learned how to fight bare-handed, fending off competition that was more likely to poach and draw attention from the authorities (though her fights often drew them over regardless).

On the fifth year of the umbral era, Jana and Khena decided to put their money together to escape their life as homeless, small-time hunters. With her share of the savings, Khena was able to rent her own small lodging and join the Lancer's Guild in Gridania, while Jana loaded up on supplies and made the journey to Ul'dah, saying she was chasing the promise of further riches while honing her skills as a pugilist. In reality, Jana was trying to chase her idea of “revenge”: By learning how Magitek worked, she hoped to turn the Garlean war machines of her youth against them and cleanse the Shroud of their presence.

During her time in Ul'dah, Jana joined both the Pugilists' and Adventurers' Guilds, where she improved her ability to fight bare-handed and with knuckle weapons while working around Thanalan as an adventurer for hire. With time, she also joined the Free Brigade of the Immortal Flames, mostly taking small assignments and saving up for such luxuries as her own chocobo (named "Khenta," after her sister). But as time passed and battles escalated, Jana found herself fighting during the battle to capture Castrum Meridianum, Operation Archon. Eager to see magitek in-person once more, she followed the Flames to victory, but it was then that she knew she could never learn how to harness that power by simply fighting it as a soldier or adventurer. After doing some research, she determined that the best way to advance would be to make her way to Limsa Lominsa, where Jana enrolled with the Arcanists' Guild and began to study the manipulation of Aether, planning to learn how best to apply it to metalworking.

Upon her return to Ul'dah, however, her station within the Immortal Flames led to her being an accessory to more than few conspiracies, including that which claimed the life of the woman who had named her her lover for less than a day. With Natalie's death, and after having done her best to change herself to be worthy of the Sworn's affection, Jana receded further into solitude than ever before, fleeing Thanalan for a few weeks for fear of imprisonment for her part in the events at the La Noscean dockside raid. Eventually, Jana returned to her duties in Ul'dah, and aided the city's protectors once more. Over the course of these adventures, she got to know the slanderous reporter Spahro Llorn, who named Jana as her new girlfriend. Back in the social scene once more, Jana struggles with the bloody breakdown she had over her last relationship's sudden end while trying not to jeopardize her new one.
==Personality==
After Natalie's death, Jana tends to carry herself in a distanced manner, generally coming off as either gloomy or creepy. She's no stranger to the trials brought upon the survivors of the Calamity, and the trials she's placed upon herself have led to her further deviations from social norms. She is capable of working hard when she has a clear goal in front of her, but Jana doesn't take work itself very seriously, having faith in her own combat prowess to see her through. She acts confident to the point of arrogance when within the confines of “adventuring,” but is a lot more hesitant in almost every other aspect.
==Affiliations==
Khena Ridah (sister): Jana's relationship with her sister is somewhat strained by their disagreement over how to use their savings. Partially as an attempt to prove her wrong, Jana sent gil back to her sister during the early time of her adventuring in Ul'dah. They haven't had direct contact with each other since their initial separation, though Jana has learned that her sister's smart investments have led her to success.

Dina Ridah (mother, deceased): The matriarch of the small Ridah family, she was instrumental in teaching the two girls how to live off of the forest without disrespecting the Elementals. Her death of illness just outside of Gridania proper has left Jana disillusioned with the "protectors of the Hedge," and was a key reason for her choice to seek her fortunes in Ul'dah.

==Rumors==

===Common Rumors===
::* "Comes by to gear up sometimes. Lotta flatbread and water. Thought adventurers made more money than that?" - Ul'dahn Food Stall Merchant
::* "She's in a private's uniform, but the way she fights is like no one's ever seen!" - Immortal Flames Recruit

===Rare Rumors===
::* "Comes by for leves every so often, though not as much as she used to. Guess she landed cushier jobs." - Levemete
::* "Sure, she's strong, but promoting her to lead a unit is... Well, she isn't known for putting others' safety in mind." - Immortal Flames Veteran

===Super Ultra-Rare Ascended++ Rumors===
::* "Ridah? Small family, wiped out by the Calamity. Heard two of them made it to Gridania, but they don't count anymore." - East Shroud Trapper
::* "She used to work here, studied for a while before going back to Ul'dah to 'make her fortune' or whatever people go to Ul'dah for. Showed up out of the blue one day to work on a smuggling case, dunno what came of it before she left again." - Arcanists' Guild Veteran

===PC Rumors===
::* "Handed her a couple things ta read 'bout bein' closer ta Rhalgr. Hope she does good wit' it, whether she puts it ta practice or not." - [[Berrod Armstrong]]
::* "Curious young lass, would 'ave never picked 'er for someone to serve in a Grand Company. I'm still 'appy for 'er assistance, for she sets a good 'xample to others of her rank." - [[Kale Aideron]]

==Other Notes==
Jana is an adventurer with the Echo, having used this power gained shortly after the Calamity in her pursuit of power and revenge. With its protection, Jana has joined other adventurers in felling the primals Titan, Ifrit, Shiva, and Ramuh, though this is not all the Echo has done for her. Seeing it as a curse along with its blessings, Jana is haunted by the visions of the enslaved dragons within Allagan Ruins, from the point of view of some unknown adventurer who made the journey deep underground to confront Bahamut himself...

Jana's Echo also leads her to seek out others who posses a Soul Crystal, this being one of the few ways Jana will willingly show another person her "Soul of the Summoner".

=== 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.

== 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. 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.

=== Friends ===

;
;[[Xenedra Ambreaus]] - His closest friend. A trusted confidant, a valued companion.
;[[Alexander Stormwind]] - Dogberry is in serious debt to Stormwind, who designed and built his magitek legs. He now aids Stormwind in his research on primals.
;[[Rhianna Oruissi]] - Dogberry is so glad that she's in on this plan of Alex's. She's the nice, sane, charming one.
;[[Scarlet Willow]] - A former co-worker that Daghbheri regards fondly. Calls her by her Roegadyn name out of respect.
;[[Salty Lake]] - Dogberry likes to join Salty Lake on her escapades to see what kind of trouble she gets into. It's usually worth a funny story to tell later.
;[[Endemerrin Rosethorne]] - Merri and Dogberry have a strained relationship after Merri refused to even speak to Dogberry after he requested his help in designing magitek legs so he might walk again.
;[[Yangh Linh]] - A good friend, a partner-in-crime, and one-time lover. Dogberry has used Yangh to re-align his own moral compass on a few occasions.
;[[Dennthota Ahtahrmwyn]] - He knows she's nothing but trouble, but that doesn't stop him from helping her out from time to time. Even he isn't really sure why.
;[[Menelwen Veara]] - Former lovers. Primal slaying partners. They tried to have a relationship, but it didn't work. Dogberry is hoping he can salvage at least some of that relationship.
;[[Abaigeal Causland]] - Dogberry is of the mind that if she thinks well of him, then he can't be that bad of a person.
;[[Castus Allard]] - Dogberry thought Castus was reckless, even by his standards. Now he sees Castus' more pragmatic side and finds they have more than he originally thought in common.
;[[Vash Ashford]] - A stupid kid who's going to get himself killed one day. Dogberry tries to teach Vash a lesson or two every now and then.
;[[Flickering Ember]] - Dogberry has deeply protective paternal feelings toward Ember. He sees an innocence in her that he wants to preserve.
;[[Brynhilde Wulf]] - His latest paramour. She is vastly different from anyone he knows. She challenges him to be better than he is, and seeks to rise to that challenge.

== 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="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.

[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>

*Modelling
*Barmaiding/Bartending an event (though she would probably rather attend!)
*She might consider any other non-violent opportunities that come her way!

{{Character-stub}}

==Character==
===General===
John is always at the edge of the goings on in the world. Since he was raised by Hyur, he doesn’t have that clan identity, though he wants to find the clan that he came from. His actually nameday is unknown but was given the date by his huyran sister. He’s quiet and sad, yet there is a weight that he bares on his shoulders, place there by himself.

John is able to sense the aether around him, in objects, and people as well. Truefully, he can't not see aether in the fashion that most would, he only knows the color of his own aether by his mom and dad, and it's his fingers that does the reading. The gloves act as a barrier between his other ability, that he calls "Dreaming", so that he doesn't see the aetheric memories of the object that he might be holding...or a person that he might touch. To John, "Dreaming" is a curse, because it can not be control except by wearing gloves. Since he had been suffering from a fever when his sister, Tanya found out of the ability, she warn him that seeing another person memories was wrong. His fever twisted her words in his mind, making the child think that he was a bad person for using the ability. As he grew older, he has to come to think of "Dreaming as worst then rape to the other person...and that it was a curse that the Twelve was using to punish him. John hasn't touch anyone with his bare hands for 11 years now.

===Dreaming===
For the Dreaming to work, John has to remove his gloves, allowing his finger to come into contact with the person or object. From there, his finger has a deeper read of the aetheric vibrations of the object of person, John's brain and aether translating the vibrations. From there, the brain reforms the memories in John's mind, seeing the memories, though unlike with the Echo, he can only see not interact within the memory. Also the stronger the emotion within the aether, the clearer the memory will be for John. Since if has been so long since he has "Dream" there is a higher chance that he could be overwhelm by the memories that could pour into his mind, losing his pathway back to 'himself'.

===Appearance===
John hair is purple, with lighter highlights running through it. Some of the hair falls over his right eye and the back is done in a short braid. Reddish brown eyes gaze more often at the ground, as if he’s trying to not look at anyone. He carries a worn book at his side, yet most can see that is very much cared for. He always has gloves on.

===Personality===
John is quiet, hanging back to keep out of the way, and not to be notice. His bearing can seem overly polite, taking to calling people sir or madam, sometimes even when he’s told otherwise. It takes time to see the laughter that will flash across his face, reveal what John was like as a child. His temper flares up when a person has done something to injure themselves or that could injure others.

==Combat==
===General===
John is an Arcanist, though he hasn’t had much battle experience. His dad is has been trying to get him use to battle, know that John may find himself following too closely to his sister’s footsteps. He is more a healer then a fighter.

==History/Timeline==
Rhag’ra Tayuun had only been a month old when his mother’s cart of goods heading to Ul’dah was attack by an Ixal hunting party. His mother was killed trying to protect him and he would have died as well if not for Thomas and his family coming across the cart. As Thomas used a linkpearl to contact Ul’dah, his 5 year old daughter, Tanya, found the baby under his mother’s body, and then asked her parents if she could name her new brother. Since they had no idea where the baby Miqo’te’s family was, they gladly took the child in.

Tanya was overjoyed at her new brother and in many was a second mother to the little miqo’te. Perhaps that was why she notice that her brother at five would stare into the distance when he would hold something. Thinking that her brother was more dreamer then her, she didn’t give much thought to the matter…that would be a regret that she would take to the grave with her years later.

For young John, the miqo’te kit wasn’t sure of the dreams himself that he would see when he held something in his hand. His parents would smile at the story he told, though others around them thought that the child might not have all of his gils together. As he grew older, the daydreams seem to grow stronger, though he didn’t speak about them now, mostly because he didn’t want his sister to worry about his mental state as she began her training in Gridania as a Conjuer. It would have continue this way if a fever that ran though the Pearl Lane area hadn’t also hit the 10 year old John as well.

What she found when word got back to her about her brothers illness, made her guts twist in dread. What she thought might have been an echo ability was nothing of the sort. It had always been with him, no stare shower starting it up, yet hope when these dreams of the past came from holding an object. She asked her mother for gloves to be given to her, which she then place on his hands. They were found curled up in his bed, his fever broke, and her energy drain. By the end of the month John and Tanya had recovered from that night. During that time, John would steal an old book, a book that seem to have deep magic in it, Tanya telling him that she would research for him. She return to her training, leaving her brother with the reminder, “Keep your gloves on so you don’t have nightmares,” and a promise between the siblings that when John was old enough, they would travel together and find out everything that wanted to know.

Things went back to normal for the Waterstrike family, the time nearing for John to leave Ul’dah and join Tanya on the Adventurer’s path. Plans that ended the day that the battle of Carteneau. The lost of Tanya in that last battle and the world almost ending was a turning point for John. The happy eager teen closed off, the grins turning into small smile, if the other person got one at all. Another five years would pass and John would uphold his end of the promise the two had made so many years ago when word of Limsa Lominsa opening up the Arcanist guild for membership. On his twentieth name day, he gave his goodbyes to his mother and father, taking with him the book that he called Kit and Tanya’s sunstone chocker.

===Echo Memories===

(This is where those that have the echo can see what memories John carries with him if you interact with him. This section will be updates periodical.)

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

[[File:Berrod Kikku Done.png|350px|thumb|left|Artwork done by Liucen/Berrod Armstrong]]

Berrod Armstrong is a displaced Ala Mhigan highlander who leads a Free Company that operates 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===

[[File:Berrod2.jpg|350px|thumb|left|Artwork done by Yanare Ku]]

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 seventy-nine ponz of bulky, well-worked muscle. His most distinguishable feature is the shock of red hair on his head, clipped down at the sides and tied into a tail at the back. When let down, the hair reaches down just between his shoulder blades. 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 clothing, Berrod's big frame is enough to go by. Berrod seems to be very interested in gaining mass; every few moons he appears noticeably larger than he had been prior. He has gone from a starting weight of two hundred and thirty-five ponz in pearl lane, to his current weight of two hundred and seventy nine ponz.

===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===
Immediately after his recovery Berrod came across as a serious no-nonsense fellow, though he had his rare moments of levity and other juvenile pursuits. Where his temper was once short and his reactions overt, he gained a tendency to hide most of his reactions behind a solid wall of solemn regard. The wall was not permanent, and fell in the private presence of close friends and lovers. Recently his personality has balanced somewhat, and he displays many of his old, crude habits. While there is a definite serious side to his dealings, one can easily identify the man's history of thuggery through his demeanor.

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 debunked 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. However, mentions of the existence of the seventh chakra by a monk situated in Revenant's Toll has forced him to revise his views on the matter.

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 limits, 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 recently said their vows of Eternal Bonding to seal their union for life.

[[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===

[[Aaron Frostheart]] is a young man who Berrod finds brimming with potential yet lacking in focus and reverence. He has gradually developed patience with him, and quietly appreciates the manner in which he gets work done quickly and effectively. He speaks highly of Aaron -- but never to his face.

[[Avenio Naemig]] was Berrod's 'boss' of sorts at the Hot Springs in La Noscea. In the early days Berrod tended to be careful around the blond Highlander.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 springs, 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 mostly 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.

[[Chiyo Hoshi]] is a Miqo'te who had observed a spar between Berrod and [[Osric Melkire]] in Fesca's watch. Since then she had sought him out and finally managed to catch him during another spar with [[Aaron Frostheart]] . The pair spoke and he provided her with his writings on chakras. Not long after that meeting the two had a spar where Berrod under-estimated her and suffered a narrow loss. It earned her both his interest as a fighter and his respect.

[[Crooket Tarot]] was hired on by Berrod as the Company's accountant and occasionally outsourced treasure-seeking dungeon delver. Berrod trusts the man near implicitly with the finances of the business, though he can't say the same for some of Tarot's sales pitches. It isn't to say that he dislikes the man, he's just had enough of merchants during his days in Pearl Lane. Policies introduced by the smirking Hyur are always at least seriously considered for implementation.

[[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.

[[Jancis Milburga]] first entered Berrod's field of vision as an object for naught but leering (as was the norm for many at that time), but over time he grew to appreciate her quiet devotion to her acquaintances -- even the manners he so flagrantly mocked at first. His respect for her was cast in stone during their time working together at the Grindstone. He seeks to one day attend one of her celebrations of the Twelve -- should his busy schedule accommodate it.

[[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. Having recently seen the man in more or less proper combat (not the dusty wrestling that they had engaged in), he now holds a fierce but unexpressed desire to test his own might against him.

[[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.

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 the proprietor a hot spring resort and 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 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.

'''Hair: ''' Brown, kept braided.

'''Eyes: ''' Pale grey.

'''Clothing Style:''' When not in his armor, he tends to wear loose clothing. He is usually seen adorned in greys and shades instead of colors.

== Tastes ==

=== <span style="font-size:medium;"><u>'''''Likes'''''</u></span> ===

*Pleasant conversation with those able to provide it
*A sense of order and structure in his day-to-day
*Providing a sense of safety and peace for those around him

=== <span style="font-size:medium;">'''''<u>Dislikes</u>'''''</span> ===

*Corruption; Specifically the compromise of morality and conviction
*Those in a position of power exerting that power over those without it
*Being unable to help those in need, especially in the face of the above point

=== <span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-size:small;"><u>'''''<span style="font-size:medium;">Religion</span>'''''</u></span></span></span></span> ===
Warren's considers himself one of Oschon's children at times.

=== <span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-size:small;"><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-size:small;">'''''<u><span style="font-size:medium;">Alignment</span></u>'''''</span></span></span></span></span></span> ===
Unquestionably good at first glance. There are enough whispered conflicting arguments that the doubt may be cast.

== Personality ==

=== <span style="font-size:medium;">'''''<u>Quirks</u>'''''</span> ===

Warren does his best to speak "properly" and devoid of slang or accent. If he is heard cursing in public, something is wrong.

=== <span style="font-size:medium;">'''''<u>Flaws</u>'''''</span> ===

*Warren's experiences since the Calamity have left him bitter towards much of the larger outside world. He may be prone to jumping to conclusions that empower his convictions.

*Warren prefers natural healing over magic or alchemical solutions. He won't refuse treatment if the wound is bad enough but he prefers to keep his bruises and abrasions.

*Warren keeps his walls very high and very secure. He is slow to trust anyone and prefers people see him only as his title.

*Warren has constantly demonstrated a willingness to neglect himself when focused on another task he deems important enough. During times of strife, he will often ignore sleep and sustenance for as long as he can despite knowing it will only serve to impede him once they catch up with him.

*Warren's demeanor has been known to shift to the rather violent spectrum when he feels his family is in danger.

=== <span style="font-size:medium;">'''''<u>Fears</u>'''''</span> ===

He would have you believe he doesn't know the meaning of the word. In reality, he is deathly afraid of failing, letting down or otherwise losing the few people he has come to rely upon.

=== <span style="font-size:medium;">'''''<u>Talents</u>'''''</span> ===

Warren's upbringing and size have both blessed him with a natural propensity for swordplay and the demeanor of one who knows how to swing a blade. Both are welcome gifts when it comes to attempting to put an end to conflict.

== Abilities and Skills ==

=== '''''<u>Personal</u>''''' ===

*Warren is just a man, but he is fortunate enough to be blessed with natural athleticism and size.

=== '''''<u>Weapons</u>''''' ===

*Warren considers himself proficient with a sword and shield. He is an amateur at hand to hand combat but attempts to make up for his lack of discipline with raw power.
=== '''''<u>Magic</u>''''' ===

*He is able to channel limited healing power, but only at great cost. He won't attempt to barring catastrophe.

=== '''''<u>Crafting</u>''''' ===

*Warren is proficient with a hammer and anvil. Years of maintaining his own arms and armor have given him limited ability when it comes to shaping and repairing metal.

== Affiliations ==
<section begin=featured-blurb />
*Warren is perhaps best known for his role as the current Arbiter of the Grindstone. Without official backing from any Free Company or private investor, Warren operates independently in the shadow of Ul'dah as a self-declared defender of the downtrodden and unheard. He has withdrawn himself from association with the Sultansworn and hasn't been seen in his official armor as a Free Paladin in some time.<section end=featured-blurb />

== Rumors and Quotes ==

'''''<u>Known to many</u>'''''

::*[[Ciel Wulfe]] - "Warren is a great man, but we seldom have much of a chance to speak. I must do something about this."
::*[[Delial Grimsong]]: "Ser Castille, was it? Quiet. Can bleed quite a lot. Has the makings of a perfect man. Hah!"
::*[[Coatleque Crofte]]: "I hear he has fought his way up to Overseer at he Grindstone. At least he leaves the Goblet once in a week to see the sunlight."
::*[[Xhosa Tauzeh]]: "Warren Castille is a wonderful man and a good friend to me. If ever I have need of him, I feel I can rely on him to be there. In return, if he is harmed or defamed, I will arrange such utter and extensive ruination that only passing through the Gates of Thal might offer some relief to what is left of the offender."
::*[[Erik Mynhier]]: "A good man who has my respect, not something I give away to just anyone."

::*[[Osric Melkire]]: "The Arbiter? Saved m'life, not too long ago. We walked with Thal that night, and while my wrath might've rivaled Rhalgr's, his was The Fury. His was the aegis that shielded me, and for that, I owe him much."

::*[[Val Nunh]]: "Ol' Warren's a pretty swell guy. I mean, I ain' ever really went out fer drinks wi' 'im 'r nothin', but I figure 'e's th'type y'could talk 'bout just anythin' to.

::*[[John Waterstrike]]: "Sir Warren? He's was kind enough to let me...a novice healer, to help with injuries at the Grindstone. I don't ever want to lose that trust."
::*[['Lynx'|Lynx]]: "The Arbiter. He regulates the Grindstone and I assist him as an Overseer from time to time, thanks to the increased popularity of the event. I call him an Arbiter for two reasons: He holds the shield to protect the law and the sword to enforce the law. From personal experience, I found it better to be faced with the shield than the sword."
::*[[Coco Delouix]]: "Ah, Ser Castille. Fellow free paladin and all-round honourable gentleman. I'm proud to have fought by his side on occasion. A true keeper of the oath."
::*[[Arala Makeo]]: "Seeing Warren for the first time...He felt intimidating. His aura emitted experience and hardships he endured...and yet talking to him it seems like he is a brother that I would fight alongside in battle without an issue. While I idolize my father in spirit...Warren is the one who I strive to be in strength."
::*[[Shas Tarry]]: "If there were ever a model that Paladins should strive torwards, Sworn or free paladins, I have a feeling that it should be his. The new initiates could stand to learn a great deal from the Arbiter."
::*[[Orenji Kharn]]: "I'm probably not the first to think this honorable man was the most intimidating thing around in that desert. Warren's a good soul, and the type of sword-bearer young heroes like I wished to be look up to if they ever had a chance to meet him. Maybe one day I'll get to fight alongside or against him!"
::*[[Jana Ridah]]: "Ser Warren is strong, no doubt about that. Don't know why he'd marry one of ours instead of some nice Hyur girl though."

== General Stuff ==
Under construction! About time I overhauled some of this junk.

== The Grindstone ==
For many, many weeks the Grindstone saw Warren Castille and his best friend, [[Ha'uruh Nunh]] arrive to compete in the Grindstone, and every week saw Warren and Howl eat dirt as they scrubbed out in the first round. The two always seemed upbeat about it, though, and appeared more interested in the camaraderie than actually winning. Most of the time.

During his time as a fighter, Warren managed to establish a losing record of 11-13 and managed to win the Grindstone twice.

The past several moons have seen Warren participating at the Grindstone in a different capacity. While he once stood in line before the iconic rock awaiting his chance to test himself, he now stands atop it and helps to lead the Grindstone's operations. Recent weeks have bolstered his confidence in assuming the mantle of the Arbiter, and he works hard to maintain the integrity and the spirit of the competition.

== Current Events ==
Recent time has witnessed Warren settling into the married life with his newly-wedded wife [[Sei Castille]]. For once, things seem mostly quiet on the home front! However, various things in [[Ha'uruh Nunh]]'s life has led to some tension and emotional turmoil in his male miqo'te companion. Warren has been trying to take care of the needs of his miqo'te and has also seemingly turned over a new leaf at the Grindstone, acting as the Arbiter until a new one claims the title.

A fistfighting prodigy from a tiny atoll community far across the Jade Sea, Virara is a vibrant, tenacious Plainsfolk who is as awkward as she is strong. Isolated by her unusual body and her harsh upbringing, she is struggling to adapt to life in Eorzea. Though she harbors a violent spirit and a surly disposition, within her eye hides a burning desire to become a righteous and virtuous woman.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#6F5A8B;">Appearance & Personality</div>===
: At 3'5" and growing, Vira is unusually tall and lean for a Lalafell. She is more toned as well, though their characteristic physique makes it difficult to discern. Raven hair, dyed haphazardly to resemble Doman black, done up in pigtails frames a round, immaculate face disinclined to expression. She wears an eye patch more often than not, to honor her Master, who did possess such an injury. Virara's vision itself is fine, despite a cosmetic injury to her left eye that rendered it slightly dilated at all times, making it appear to be darker than her right as well as frozen in a perpetual
: Her gaze is intimidating on a primal level that disconnects with her short stature, complimented by her generally dour, emotionless countenance and tendency to stare. Though she might be small and cute, her withering gaze and threatening atmosphere can give her the impression of a rabid animal, or a haunted doll. Her voice is quiet, breathy, smooth and almost pleasant to listen to; yet with her yells comes a terrifying force.
: She's also somewhat scarred across her body from extreme training, though she rarely shows these.
: Though it is hard for non-Lalafell to see her in any light other than the generic, cherubic cuteness common to her species, Vira possesses something akin to statuesque dark beauty. Her height and enigmatic looks lends her a mysterious air uncommon to either Ul'dahn or Lominsan/Merlthor Lalafell, but that also makes her appear cold and unapproachable.

: Vira is ill at home in either the culture of Eorzean, Plainsfolk, the culture of Doma, the environment in which she was raised, or amongst any other race. She is a loner (though not always by choice.) with painfully deficient social skills, ignorant of mores and unable to read the mood. An aura of dangerousness radiates from her steely glare and wired posture that always seems a step away from pouncing. Vira may seem placid at times, but even then a dynamic, fervent energy circulates beneath the surface.
: Her life has been dedicated to the cause of becoming stronger and she knows no other way. Having communicated through her fists practically since she was old enough to walk, a lifetime of hardship has left Vira profoundly alone, and her Master is the only human connection she's truly been able to enjoy, a fact that leads her to blind worship. Yet at the same time, the adversarial nature of her training leads her to regard her master ultimately as an enemy. The complexity of emotions she feels towards her Master leads Virara to put little stock in defining her emotions, and she scorns introspection to her own detriment. To Virara as she grew up, feelings were a force within her to be channeled into her blows; precisely what she felt was never a question to her, but rather how hard she felt it.

: Vira only truly feels alive when fighting. Her Master raised her to exercise self-control, but the pugnacious Lala is actually quite hot-blooded underneath it all. The more dangerous and potentially fatal the situation, the more at home she feels. Though she was 'civilized' by her martinet Sensei, a sort of feral undercurrent drives her most instinctual actions.
: She plays at being a cynic, something she picked up from her Sensei, but ultimately has a moral compass and inwardly admires those who fight for an ideal, rather than self-gratification. She's capable of things like kindness and compassion, but in her early life these were in such low demand that they confuse and bother her inwardly.

: Virara is very brave, almost suicidally fearless, but loses her nerve when it comes to supernatural things (Because she is too much of a materialist and fears things she can't punch like ghosts.) and typhoon/hurricane weather. (Childhood trauma.) Her overly literal and realist way of thinking also makes her more or less a complete dunce when it comes to the magic arts.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#6F5A8B;">Biography</div>===

=====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Childhood</div>=====

:: Orphaned at sea by a typhoon, a tiny Lalafell child was cast away in a worm-eaten barrel to the shores of a coral atoll halfway between Othard and Eorzea. Murky colors and sounds, viewed through an opaque haze in her deepest memories, were all that remained of her past. Hunger agonized her and thirst drove her half mad. She forgot her name, her family's faces, even her old language. Now nearly feral, the tiny girl fought fiercely to survive at no older than six. Only through an uncanny strength and copious luck did the castaway live for more than a year. Tiny and alone, everything and later, everyone, was a potential threat.

:: At the same time the insignificant speck found another insignificant speck to eke out an existence upon, Garlemald solidified its powerful claim on its holdings in Othard. What once was a proud nation controlled by a warrior nobility now genuflected before a new master, and rebellion already was already seething beneath placating faces and bowed heads. Many refugees fleeing oppression retreated from their continent, particularly from Doma. What started as an unremarkable atoll visited only by the occasional smuggler gradually grew into a shanty town full of the runoff from Garlemald, and from there expanded into a series of small fishing, trade and supply communities tailored to the cultural needs primarily of those from Othard and Doma. Cities were sometimes more water than earth and stone canals rose up seemingly out of nowhere. Incredible masses of Doman refugees poured in; their numbers would nearly double years later as the rebellion began and ended almost as abruptly, and the former Garlean territory was consumed in a worldly hell.

:: The young Lalafell had become a stranger to civilization. Tentatively entering the territory of the intruders, she secreted herself into the remote alleys and canal ways of the settlement, soon to become a tiny, unremarkable dot named Llymlaen's Necklace on Eorzean maps. The girl stole and mugged her way into a higher calorie diet, and grew stronger. Soon she could easily beat and rob any refugee children and relieve them of what little food kept them from starvation. She had no conscience any more than a wild animal, and lacked the ability to recognize the harm she did to others, and as a result grew stronger and bolder, eventually even attacking weakened adults. Her body was laced with a wiry strength that seemed out of proportion with her tiny figure. Sometimes she beat refugees, if they resisted fiercely, until they stopped moving. On her small island, she became hated and was driven out of town whenever they caught sight of her. But neither could they capture the girl.

:: After a few close calls, she became semi-civilized, learning their language through observing from the shadows. She knew she needed some basic ability to communicate as the intruders became more numerous and their towns grew larger. She smuggled herself from island to island by offering food she stole, never staying in one place more than a night. Eventually, the locals grew wary of her once more at somewhere around ten or twelve years old; she'd lost count long ago. By that point in time, Virara had become a savagely clever child, as well as possessing abnormal size even compared to fully grown Lalafell, with strength and agility beyond that which her tiny frame would suggest. She was a threat even to hale adults on a good day, and was only growing stronger, and hungrier.

=====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Captivity</div>=====

:: One day, the pickings had been slim. The children hid from her bullying, and unable to mug or steal anything from the Domans' store rooms and fish pots, she became acutely aware of her hunger and desperation set in. She set eyes on a tanned, grim woman missing an eye, sitting in a rude street front tea shop. Her build was strong, her posture confident, and she stunk of blood. The way she carried herself, and the grisly tattoos on her arm would have normally been warning enough to tell her to keep a wide berth from the stranger, but she was too famished to notice. She gambled. With an eye missing, she was doubtlessly blind on that side and pickpocketing should have been easy.

:: After slipping her hand into the woman's robe around her waist, where all the Domans kept their coin purses, the urchin abruptly found herself on the ground, beaten raw, her arm numb and unmoving. The woman bore down upon her. "Steal from me, would you? I've never met a child so eager to die. I shan't oblige you." Carried off to no objections by the locals, the girl found herself bound and collared in a drafty house redolent of sandalwood and incense on the biggest island in the Necklace.

:: The woman who held her prisoner her stated simply that since the girl conducted herself like an animal she would be treated like one, and thus was given the epithet "Wakuwa," which in the stranger's peculiar dialect from an island near Doma, meant simply "pig," in reference to her build and size.

:: In the hellish half-year she spent in captivity, she initially took every attempt possible to escape, but in all cases found herself thwarted and beaten horribly. Eventually her rage over boiled. She had thrashed a few refugees hard in her years, sometimes until they stopped moving, but it was the first time she wanted to do so purely out of malice. The woman seemed aware of this, and one night opened the store room door to the small, stuffy chamber "pig" was tied up in.

:: "You hate me, don't you?"

:: Though she was smaller than her, the girl's violent nature, contrasting with her inhumanly focused glare, provoked a flinch in the older woman. With every reckless blow the captive girl threw, futile as it was, her eyes took on a quality the Doman lady had seen before in shark infested waters off the coast of the Necklace. The essence of void, entered before the fatal bite, was the state of innocent brutality known only to a beast. When Virara's eyes grew wide with rage, their dark pupils seemed to eclipse everything sentient inside her. Perhaps it was this inner nature that the coldly smiling woman resonated with.

:: "Enough to kill me, huh?"

:: A few wild, reckless swings and desperate clawing at the room's dirty floor were answer enough.

:: The woman hunkered down, nursing a long, smoking pipe, as she was wont to do.

:: "You're not the first. Many men and women came before you, and all have failed. I was stronger, better than them. And you, a bloody pig, have the gall to think you've got what it takes to retire me?"

:: Clearly interested, the woman undid her collar... and immediately pinned the flailing child to the floor, foreseeing her obvious assault before it came.

:: "Only a Spoken can kill me. Spoken have names. A pig has no use for one. I'll grant you a name fit for a Lalafell."

:: Combining some haphazard syllables in a manner roughly resembling her race's typical rhyming name scheme, Virara was born anew as a person. The name was meaningless and odd to the ears of her kind, but her keeper didn't care. The woman, who demanded Virara merely refer to her as Sensei, underwent a dramatic metamorphosis in how she regarded the girl. What once was arbitrary, vicious behavior for no other purpose other than reprisal or amusement, focused itself into an intense reformation of her character. She took on the Doman language and lifestyle, as taught to her by Sensei in between puffs on her long pipe. Virara was no more than a servant, but she ate better than she had in years, often times several magnitudes more than Sensei herself. Though Sensei knew she was hated by literally everyone in every settlement in the Necklace, she sent her out regardless on errands, and Virara often had to find and pay merchants and traders for foodstuffs and goods as secretly as possible.

:: With time Virara grew hale and strong, and when obedient, Sensei didn't harm her, though she was casually dismissive and rarely spoke to her conversationally. While Spoken now, Sensei still did not regard Virara as anything approaching an equal. She demanded more from Virara, and Virara obliged, giving up her life of theft and violence for one of constant study and dutiful toil. Her personality radically changed, molded as if she were an infant again in the hands of her watchful master. There were times when Virara forgot that she had meant to kill this woman altogether, and her seething hatred slowly evaporated into a mist of forgotten grievances.

=====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">The Labyrinth Fist</div>=====

:: Virara began to exhibit an unnatural constitution. She was constantly hungry and required more food than Sensei initially intended to give her, eventually forcing the woman to train Virara to fish for herself. Vira helped Sensei plant a small orchard in the uncleared land behind her home, and they dried apricots to save them for the spring.

:: In addition to this strange metabolism, Virara seemed to have no real grasp of her own strength, which was already disproportionate to her size. When chopping wood, Vira would often hew the logs straight through, and leave deep rend marks in the stone beneath. Her arms would be red and sore afterward, and sometimes even needed medical attention. Sensei believed that something in Vira's mind was shattered from since she was castaway, transcending exhaustion and pain, but her servant didn't fully understand anyway.

:: Vira's unnatural constitution piqued Sensei's interest once again. "You've become Spoken now, Virara. Far from the pig you once were. An animal does not kill out of hatred, nor for some flimsy concoction of 'reasoning.' You recognize a distinction between right and wrong, a quality most Spoken either possess or claim to. Which applies to you, I don't have a care for. A thinking being has the ability to weigh the life of another in her hands. Do you wish to become fully Spoken, with all that truly entails?"

:: From that day forward, something in the woman's eyes changed. Virara could tell, merely by looking at her, that Sensei had recognized her. No longer a servant or an animal, she was a true student.

:: "Watch yourself, brat," Master warned her, "For the very instant I deem you a failure is the instant I stop your heart."

:: Sensei was the inheritor of a style of combat from Doma, compiled from many nations' martial arts long before their nation was formed, long before Garlemald and the occupation. This style was Shichisei Meikyuuken, or the Seven Star Maze Fist. She had left for reasons she wouldn't divulge during the early years of the Rebellion. In her own words, it was a method of fighting, unarmed or armed, that would render its masters either a god or demon. This sounded like an excellent tool to kill her master with, so she agreed outright. Such was the reasoning she provided herself consciously, but Virara felt an unfamiliar, rising sensation in her chest when her Sensei gazed at her more softly than before. Her face often began making a faint expression alien to her, the corners of her lips curving upward. The feeling was good, though she scarcely understood what it meant.

:: The training was harsh, almost as much so as the mistreatment she endured during her early stay with Sensei. Five years were spent in enhanced study; both her civilizing and fighting training became feverishly intense. Master's method of instruction was merciless to the point of insanity, and countless times her new student courted instant death simply by sparring with her. Virara learnt of foreign languages other than Doman and how to cook for herself at the same time she was shattering iron spheres with her palms and cutting down orchard trees with her forearms. Eventually Virara was honed into a fist fighter of prodigious skill. A natural, her abnormal muscle power and hyperactive metabolism meshed keenly with the explosive, lethal blows of the style. Meikyuuken was a direct style, in comparison to its convoluted name, but perhaps its simplicity belied a more subtle insidiousness. Even the most innocent of testing blows could easily transition to a fatal hit. Its guards were deflections and strikes at the same time. A seemingly linear step in fact involved countless subtle curving movements and changes in speed. Economy of movement, a strong defense, and mythril-like core body conditioning were its areas of focus, on top of penetrating defenses and ending the fight in a single blow. With time, Virara could slay next week's dinner (The rare, expensive aldgoat not common on the Necklace) with a single blow to the forehead, the thickest part of its skull. Prodigy was a term oft used and rarely deserved, but in some sense it did apply to her.

:: In time Sensei also conversed more with her student. She told of Doma's history and its culture, the war with Garlemald. She mentioned in passing that she once had a family, and that she was the only student of the style left. Sensei expressed a disgruntled hatred of both Garlemald *and* Doma, and stated in vague terms that her nation "betrayed" her, but in what way she never said, and she only spoke of the matter when thoroughly drunk. Sometimes Virara could her her master praying alone outside in the grove at night. The list of names she prayed for was long. It soon became her lullaby.

:: The Calamity came and went for Virara. Unlike most, it was not a happening of significance in her life. As with everything, the inhabitants of the Necklace merely adapted. Their remote location helped protect them, slightly, from the wrath of the cataclysm. Though some died in the horrible storms and massive waves, both Virara and her master escaped unscathed, though they lost their home and had to live amongst the locals in their new floating raft and boat community. Much of the landmass was submerged, but the Necklace was part of the sea and its inhabitants were hardy people. Virara became accustomed to the steady rock of ships and boats beneath her feet, soon beginning to find dry land unnatural.

:: The two increased in strength together as summers and winters passed like migratory birds. Eventually, Sensei's past in Doma caught up to her. Often she would leave to walk along the piers and canal ways late at night to deal with 'urgent business.' On rare occasions she would leave the islands entirely for days on end. She often came back disheveled and scratched up. Sensei's excuse was that she fell down, drunk, which Virara typically believed because she was very much addicted to rice wine, but eventually the excuses stopped flowing and the injuries became more severe. It appeared not all of the past she'd left behind in occupied Doma wanted to be forgotten.

:: One night, a man dressed in black and wearing curious weapons greeted Virara as she rose groggily from her sleep to relieve herself. A desperate struggle ensued, in which Virara's life nearly ended, if not for Sensei's intervention. The killer was obscenely skilled, and quickly had even her Master on the defensive, but he hadn't counted on Virara breaking his knee in twain from behind. When the assassin reeled in pain, Virara simply did as she'd done with the aldgoats before. It ended quickly. A muddy, dark film seemed to cross the iris of her eyes as she locked gazes with her Sensei. Something lay there in her Master's single eye, something nostalgic and painful, a sense of agonizing recognition. That brought Vira back to reality, but before the significance of what she'd done set in:

:: "Virara, your training, as it has been until now, is over. You're not ready to face me and kill me yet, not until you've inherited the art from me fully."

:: Days later, Sensei prepared a satchel full of supplies, some rugged traveling clothes, and a pair of bone hora, meant solely to protect Vira from her own freakish strength, and told her to go to Eorzea, as a test of worthiness to begin learning the succession techniques of Shichisei Meikyuuken. Told to seek out a man that Sensei supposedly crossed paths with in an arena years ago, Virara set out on a trade vessel bound for Ul'Dah's bay of Dha'Yuz, hunting for the man known as "Holyfist" to challenge him. But Virara did not leave without a final, taxing "gift" from her exacting Sensei...

=====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">The Power to Slay</div>=====

:: Arriving in Eorzea, Virara was immediately beset by a suffusion of sounds and sights utterly alien to her. Ul'dah was dry and teeming with people, the marketplaces overflowing with goods Virara could scarcely imagine in her time on the Necklace. Immediately she began setting out to find the Holyfist and crush him, in accordance to her Master's wishes, but her lack of physical strength after the woman's crippling acupressure technique left Virara feeling a sense of vulnerability and frailty hitherto unknown to her. Hamon did not take the Lalafell girl seriously and instead set her about the Pugilist's Guild attending to menial tasks and doing strength training. Virara assumed that Hamon was pitying her, or felt she was unworthy of a match, humiliating the girl. Hamon for his part may have felt she was pushing herself too hard, or just wanted free labor.
:: In any case, Virara would eventually get her wish to face Hamon in a match, but as a method of rehabilitating the aged warrior after events Virara was not privy to reignited his fighting spirit. This fulfilled Virara's obligation to her master. In her short time as a member, Virara spoke little with other pugilists and absorbed tremendous knowledge of the typical Ul'dahn hand to hand combat styles with typical ease, but the culture of the locals remained bewildering to her.

:: One day, in the Quicksand, Virara met a tiny boy. Having never spoken to or known another of her kind before, Virara engaged him as awkwardly as could be conceived. This was Chachanji Gegenji, a swordsman training to become a hero. Idealistic and naive in the extreme, Virara initially found "Chagenji" curious. His name was hard to say, his stature was small despite his fairly athletic frame, and he had the awkward air of a cowardly runt, the kind Virara used to pummel on the islands. But when she looked at his earnest, well-meaning gaze, something hot and fearsome boiled within her. This was a boy who endured hardship that did not even compare to her own; he knew suffering but felt it was something others could be saved from indefinitely. It was unacceptable to Virara that he could maintain such a gilded impression of the world around him, ignorant of her own limited experiences and worldview.
:: Though initially appreciative of Chachanji's attempts to befriend her and help her adjust to Eorzean culture, his peaceful attitude and heroic tendencies perplexed the comparatively merciless and hard-hearted Virara. Her relationship with him grew more and more tense, and with time Chachanji's presence in her mind became overwhelming. Every waking thought was of how he vowed never to take a life needlessly, and his boundless confidence in his ability to protect others close to him. Virara only understood the strength necessary to kill.

=====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">The Power to Save</div>=====

:: This eventually culminated in a furious duel in Thanalan, in which Virara prematurely exerted her strength, despite still being crippled, against a reluctant but determined Chachanji. Meikyuuken roared loudly that day, with her forms in weakened but prominent use. Such a display could hardly go unnoticed. Though she shattered his armor and nearly killed him outright, Chachanji cemented himself as a true warrior by being the first person to stand up after one of Virara's blows, outside of her own Master. For the first time, Virara understood that the intensity of emotion she felt towards Chachanji was respect, not hate. This was the 'power to protect,' to save others, that Virara had failed to grasp. To prioritize the survival of another being was inconceivable to a girl who struggled to survive from birth. That personality, and that line of thinking, began to quickly enthrall her. A stranger to happiness, Virara felt the odd sensation again, much as she had once her Master allowed her to take up their art.

:: Her sense of closeness with Chachanji deepening, she allowed her first friend, and the first boy she'd ever known, to guide her to a more tame state, wherein she did not challenge anyone she found strong enough to be worthwhile to a duel, and could interact with Eorzeans more normally. She met others such as Warren and Sei Castille, who trained Chachanji and thus earned interest from Virara quickly. Ququki Quki, another Lalafell, amazed the ignorant Virara with her knowledge of aether. She met Dren Gonne, another boy with a similar background to her own, and a feral streak she understood all too well. With time, however, it was no longer sufficient for Virara to live out of the Quicksand as a boarder. While she made money from time to time working odd jobs out of the guild, and as an unnervingly destructive extra hand in Momodi's kitchen, Virara wished to see more of Eorzea, and to have a solid base from which to stage those endeavors.

=====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">A Place to Rest</div>=====

:: Determined not to become reliant on her new acquaintances, Virara trained herself to the limit, traveling across the land from each great city to fight dangerous fauna, traverse hazardous terrain and bolster her stamina through more frequent cooking. With time her old strength returned, though her ability to perform the techniques of her art still seemed limited. But the lifestyle of drifting from inn to inn, sometimes sleeping in alleys or under the stars as she did before she met Master, was draining, not to mention lonely. It was a fact that Virara herself would never admit, but she felt keenly the distance between Eorzea and the Necklace. Sometimes she would sit for hours, watching the surf lap the shores of La Noscea in utter silence. Other times she would train, perform long and short kata, almost hoping a watchful eye over the horizon would find her, even if her islands were far from that horizon in the other direction.

:: On an excursion to train in Mist, Virara came across Memeli Meli and Chachanji, who had recently joined the association "Coral Sea." Over time, Virara's visits to Mist became more frequent, and her friendship with the other two deepened. Memeli in particular was a strange girl, full of good humor and warmth, whose behavior differed greatly from Virara's despite the similarity in their ages, and Virara began to consider for the first time if her own upbringing wasn't abnormal in comparison to her new Eorzean friends. Virara also noticed that the way she tended to focus on an opponent with all-encompassing attention when angry seemed to happen to her around Chachanji often, even when she was calm, but remained ignorant and thought little of the strange feeling.

:: Virara eventually signed on with Coral, though the loose association and lack of direction in such a free-spirited group confused the girl. She boards with Memeli and Chachanji, as she was already practically a resident before joining due to her homelessness. For the first time, Virara had found a place she could consider home outside of that waterlogged, odorous longhouse in the Necklace. Yet the image of her Master still remained forefront in her mind. Could she maintain the power she owed her benefactor? With the softness of her new lifestyle, could she slay her Master when their fated time of confrontation finally arrived? Virara seemed convinced that would be impossible, especially after a humiliating loss (By her perception) in a friendly duel against Memeli, for which she admonished herself mercilessly inside.

:: She resumed her training with an obsessive vigor, incorporating new knowledge of Aether and Eorzean culture into her education. When Virara focused on moving her body and training her physique, she could not think deeply. When she was free of deep, irrelevant thoughts, she didn't need to feel unease. Something about her new friendships, the triumvirate she had formed with her Coral companions, was eating away at her, but with her mind empty as it was, Virara could not perceive it even with the slightest of awareness. She understood she was frustrated with something, but what it was she could not begin to describe. Confronting her feelings, she resolved to allow herself to become closer to her "first boy" and "first girl" friends, but feared the worst; that her presence in their relationship would disrupt the accord they shared.

:: She also began to train to cook in a manner befitting sane people, to make herself more useful to her new home and not frighten the others with her martial culinary practices.

=====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Bloody Roots</div>=====

:: After a day at the Grindstone, Virara, Memeli and Chachanji returned home. Virara, more or less a vagrant with no address nor any relations outside of acquaintances and her Master, received a small package in the mail. Upon opening it, the grisly visage of a severed pig's head greeted her, along with a cryptic poem in Doman. Thus did begin a long series of harassments and a difficult investigation to find the sender. At times watching from parts unseen, Virara could feel her stalker draw near, and her highly honed instinct became a double-edged sword sharp enough to cut herself on, straining her relationships at the house and wearing her composure thin. After a traumatizing experience over dinner, where Virara quite unexpectedly found 'the eyes' upon her, she resolved to hunt down the stalker and exact retribution. The knowledge of her childhood name suggested the enemy was someone close to her, or had watched her for years.

:: When in groups with the rest of her free company, Virara was safe from the prowling terror, and thus was able to assist Chachanji in taking down his ambitious but highly disturbed older brother. She also assisted Memeli in seizing back her very face from a malevolent spirit, whom Virara never quite forgave even after she indicated a desire for just punishment, and demonstrated Memeli's guilt. Her closeness with Memeli, Chachanji, and others of the company and outside, such as Jancis Milburga and Flickering Ember, grew as well. It became clear that though Virara did not put much stock in what she felt, that did not mean she felt nothing. Gifted with a pair of peach blossom earrings and tortoise shell hora by her first friends, she felt a compulsion to be near them; a desire that they never stray far from her. It was unfamiliar, but pleasant.

:: That was why when Virara was taken by surprise, paralyzed with a neurotoxin and maimed by metal wires at the hands of her foe in Summerford at the final leg of their investigation, she came to believe that those same bonds had made her vulnerable and distracted. Faced fully with the extent of her unpreparedness, only the timely intervention of Virara's allies in Coral allowed her to make it out of her foe's clutches. The stalker, who called himself, or herself, Tsuchigumo, demonstrated that it not only had watched Virara, it has spied upon the others for some time, and clearly had some connection to her Master. A combatant of uncanny ability, it put Coral's rescue party to the test, but they ultimately triumphed, taking one of its arms. What sort of hideous truths lay behind the assailant's smiling, cordial Doman mask? Judging from the path of disappeared persons Tsuchigumo seemed to leave in its wake, it could be nothing a sane mind would willingly engage with.

:: Virara, however, had only one truth to glean from Tsuchigumo; that for all her strength and determination, she was wholly unprepared to face and kill her Master. Unhinged to a certain extent by her experiences in the cave behind Woad Whisper Canyon, Virara began to train like a girl possessed, straining her injured body to its limits, the phantom wires still binding her inside the mind. Only the increased pressure of her allies delivered Virara from irreparable damage, at perhaps the expense of her pride.

:: Tsuchigumo was not alone, however. Among Gogonji's Khamja organization, two others who seemed connected to Tsuchigumo had emerged, all wearing the Doman Noh theater masks and bearing unique and deadly skills. These disloyal subordinates seemingly abandoned Gogonji to his fate, their treachery only exceeded by the cryptic nature of their true plan. Were they acting independently? Did they value one another as close allies, or loathed one another as rivals working towards some undefined objective? Very little made sense, and each clue grew more befuddling than the last.

:: No sooner than Virara had almost fully recovered from her maiming, she was confronted by yet another threat; an unnatural power flowed through her friend, Memeli, threatening not only her life, but the continent itself through the machinations of a primal-like being. Her own demeanor grew darker and more unstable; a powerful compulsion took root at the back of her head, the emotions behind her friendship driving Virara to unhealthy obsession with dragging her friend back from the brink. Her desire to deliver Memeli from her predicament bordered on madness. Perhaps she had never been fully sane to begin with, given who raised her.

:: Though the incident was resolved, Memeli was left catatonic and drained. Virara stayed by her bedside like a loyal servant until exhaustion claimed her against her will, night after night, only stopping to train herself to up to the point of breaking. When she questioned herself, which she was loath to do, Virara had no answers for why someone other than Master mattered so deeply. When the time came for Virara to face the creature's new host, Stefan Delumiere, she held nothing back. The result was a single strike that seemed to rend reason itself asunder for a split second, a sublime art that Virara seemed unaware of even as she released it. This was the crystallization of her undiluted malevolent intent given flesh, a subconsciously concocted ars magna. Whether it was something her Master granted her, or a product of her unhealthy mind, Virara did not know and did not care. She'd "expressed her displeasure" in her original language to the false primal. If Memeli recovered or not would be a matter of time, and fate, but that moment where she struck Stefan down, Virara for the first time understood an emotion within her implicitly; a rage born of concern for a precious person, uncontrolled and dominating in its power. It was unlikely, even as Virara recovered her composure after the battle, that she would ever truly be the same.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#6F5A8B;">Miscellaneous</div>===
: <li>Virara possesses abnormal body strength for a Lalafell. Due to being smaller, her muscle mass is still inferior to that of a larger race, as well as her weight, so she cannot cannot compare in sustained exertion, but the explosive power of her blows is extremely lethal. To date she has regularly slaughtered large, strong animals with her bare hands, pulverized a stone golem in one blow, punched an ingot of cobalt through the floor of her house, and shattered a cobalt breastplate using nothing but her bare elbow. Her speed and endurance are also conditioned to levels beyond that of which a Lalafell normally can achieve. What sort of strain this power puts on her health is unknown; how much of it is from her fighting style or from her natural constitution is also unknown. In addition, her body heats up to an unnatural degree when enraged, or when aether is funneled into her, as if rejecting it. Moderate to large amounts of healing aether cause her to convulse and go rigid. The irregular flow of aether within her body is faint, but chaotic, and may be connected to her physical aptitude and rapid metabolism, which provokes near-constant hunger.
: <li>'Wakuwa,' for 'pig,' is an epithet and only really known OOC. (Derived it from an Okinawan word.) In the unlikely case your character can use it for her, remember that it's derogatory and Vira only adopted it as her name out of respect for her Master. Other people are most definitely not allowed to use it. Given Lalafell naming conventions, her real name is Virara Vira. Shocking, I know.
: <li>Before leaving to Eorzea, Virara was crippled by her master through acupressure for reasons she doesn't understand. She has since recovered much of her prior strength, though lack of practice has resulted in some difficulty performing her style's techniques.
: <li>Unknown to her, Sensei casually added poison and dangerous substances to Virara's meals early on in an effort to toughen her up, with some degree of success. She's a bit resistant to toxins and poison through sheer constitution as well as developed immunity, but even so, a Lalafell does not have much body mass compared to other races, and eventually she will succumb.
: <li>Virara wears eye patches because she imitates her Master. Her pigtails were styled by Master as well and she continues to dutifully tie her hair in the same way. Virara also dyes her hair (poorly) to emulate the typical Doman Midlander hair color.
: <li>Due to her strength, Virara tends to go through tools quickly. She broke half the utensils in Coral house within only a month or so of taking up residence and beginning to practice cooking again, requiring Jajara to make tougher replacements. She has a sizable chunk of her former traveling budget set aside for replacement knuckle dusters and training dummies. At any given time she will have multiple sets of hora on her in case she shatters one.
: <li>Since coming to Eorzea, Virara has become sensitive about her unusual height, envious of shorter Lalafell. She is learning from Memeli how to be 'cute,' but has many misconceptions about what that entails.
: <li>Her education is incomplete due to Sensei's incredible laziness. Contrary to how she appears, Virara is quite sharp and a diligent learner, but her Master just didn't care to teach many things. Her blind spots are tremendous, being ignorant of social mores, out of touch with emotions and abstract concepts, and for years not even knowing how babies are made. Needless to say, she has no real knowledge of romance.
: <li>Virara likes her food Mega Flare-level spicy. Be careful if asking her to give your food a bit of kick, unless you like life or death struggles.
: <li>Sensei often gambled and bet on what would be an Eorzean equivalent to beetle sumo, insect fights where two large territorial beetles try to push each other off a stump. The rare opportunities when Virara was able to sneak into town and spy on these gambling shacks have led to her having an odd affinity for bugs.
: <li>Virara often finds the tallest place she can reach, or hides in tiny spaces that only would fit a Lalafell, when she wishes to be alone.
: <li>When speaking Doman, Virara gives a totally different impression, with a rough air and vastly expanded vocabulary. She speaks liberally with 'masculine' pronouns and other verbal characteristics. (Think of it as being similar to a girl who might, very unusually, use "Ore" '俺' in Japanese.)
: <li>The one thing Virara is superior to her Master in is tending to bonsai trees. Sensei butchers them.
: <li>Virara's singing voice is akin to the trumpets of the apocalypse.

: <center>Forgive me if your character is not listed here: I'm trying to limit myself to those who have pages.</center>

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Chachanji Gegenji]] : Initially agitated by what she thought was a softhearted and weak boy, Virara's fascination with him has grown to something more. He is her first friend, the first Eorzean she knew, the first person to challenge her worldview, and the second person to withstand her strikes, after her Master. It is possible that her attachment to him is more intense than she lets on, but Virara's poor grasp of emotions ensures that what form it takes remains ambiguous. Virara seems to want to be close to him, regardless. His brother Gogonji and his subordinate Anunu, on the other hand, Virara is wary of, the latter to the point of instinctual disgust.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Memeli Meli]]: This diminutive rapscallion is Virara's first female friend close to her own age. She both admires and envies many qualities Memeli possesses, such as her bright demeanor and knowledge of aether. However, having lost to Memeli in a match, Virara's passion has risen from a faint smouldering to a dancing flame. Currently, Memeli is teaching Virara to obtain the secret technique known as "cuteness." Virara solemnly swears to stand atop this new technique and become invincible to all foes! Though recently, she has been dreadfully in need of Virara's aid in ways that severely trouble the emotionally stunted girl...

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Leanne Delphium]]: One of Chachanji's friends. She has a distinctive look about her that piques Virara's curiosity, but she seems also very aloof and mysterious in some ways. However, Virara doesn't dislike her in the slightest. In fact, she grows more and more attached to Leanne as time goes by. She is weak against her openness and sense of simple warmth, and admires her ability to sing, which Virara is piss poor at.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Ququiki Quki]]: An acquaintance of both Virara and Chachanji, Virara is impressed with "Cookie's" fighting spirit, despite her physical weakness and debilitating condition. Quki is a wellspring of arcane knowledge, despite being significantly younger than Virara, so often the conversations between the two boil down to Quki attempting to explain something that seems simple to her, but is far too complex for an ignorant Virara to grasp. Virara, unlike probably most people, is impressed by Quki's tendency to overdo it when training and somewhat cautiously encourages the dangerous behavior.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Dren Ghonne]]: Lonely and frail-looking, Dren met Virara in the midst of a strange engagement near the chamber of rule, beating a giant adamantoise taken in for a leve to death, hungering for tortoise soup. Dren's soup immediately got on her good side, but his past in servitude, so readily volunteered, innately struck a chord with her, being not dissimilar to her own. In an attempt to both help her new goal of using her strength for others, not merely herself, and also out of empathy for Dren, she volunteered to let him stay with her in her room at the Quicksand.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Warren Castille]]: Chachanji's mentor, and thus a person who Virara innately respects. But in Virara's case, respect can sometimes also mean 'wants to drub mercilessly.' Ser Castille is a prying sort who seems to be aware that Virara came from an abnormal upbringing. She respects Warren greatly for his insight into her and wants to learn from him to better understand how he and Chachanji think, and to improve herself accordingly.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Ha'uruh Nunh]]: A friend of Warren's. Virara doesn't know him well, but was startled to know he trained under the same master as Sei. She feels some curiosity as to what caused them to become so different, and wants to know more. "Howl" was strangely protective of her when she took a contract from Surge, and Virara quickly noticed his irregular behavior.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Jancis Milburga]]: Jancis seems to have a natural poise and ladylike nature that intrigues Virara, who does not possess the qualities herself. Yet at the same time, there are deeper similarities between the two that aren't immediately apparent. It seems very likely they will come to understand each other even better soon. Like Leanne, she has the atmosphere of an 'older sister,' if Virara had any grasp of what that actually was. The sight of her ponytail for some reason makes Virara grow calm.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Jajara Jara]]: An associate of Memeli's through her organization. Virara knows a fist fighter when she sees one, and immediately wanted to challenge her, though she held back. She seems to respect her as the first older Lalafell she had met, but sadly, Vira's intensity and lack of social awareness made for an intimidating first impression, as she is wont to do. To Virara she is a wise, older lady, and she sometimes calls Jajara Aunt, much to her chagrin.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Chuchukepa Hohokepa]]: Virara met this strange man whose name is hard to say in the Coral house. Not accustomed to meeting others of her race, let alone older ones, she reacted in a similar manner to how she regarded Jajara. Naturally she was surprised to find the two not only know each other, but are very close in a way Vira scarcely understands. She sees him as fretful and meticulous, but wise about the Aether, which Virara barely understands. 'Master' Chuchukepa trains Virara in how to cook like a more sane woman.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Tausenadel Geispyrsyn]]: "Animal Keeper" Tau is as marvelous for his size as he is for not eating the many creatures he raises. He fascinates Virara, but she does not understand why he frowns at her whenever she suggests they eat one of his critters. Tau is also an unwitting demonstrator of the emotion of "grief," as Virara watched the trial of [[Sigurd Rainecourt]] involving the untimely death of his wife, [[Dhemgeim Shyrdoenwyn]]. She observes him when he's angry as well as when he is content, trying to grasp the alien feeling locked hidden away within his massive form.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Flickering Ember]]: More than anything else, Virara knows the terror of living in a bestial state, half mad and concerned with only her own survival and safety. When she locks eyes with Ember and sees the raw instinct there, she feels a sense of nostalgia that epitomizes its original definition of "the pain of returning home." But as Ember grows in humanity, so too does Virara's trust in her. The fact that she fed Virara doesn't hurt. Their feral origins draw them together, but Virara's forced training sadly separates them almost as much.

: <font style="color:#9EC60B;" size="3">●</font> [[Valentinoix Thibault]]: An ally from the Coral house. A man of few words, this Duskwight proved his reliability several times over in battle alongside Virara. His difficulties in adjusting to the world above ground remind Virara she is not the only one struggling in a foreign land. Indeed, all land above ground is "foreign" to him, yet he suffers inconvenience with only mild complaint, and is a stalwart figure regardless. Conversations between the two typically involve a great deal of uncomfortable silence.

: <font style="color:#8C92AC;" size="3">●</font> [[Staelufre Lysmerl]]: The "Riddle Lady" perplexes Virara. On one hand her manner of speech is frustratingly obtuse for the direct girl, but on the other hand she can relate to her innate affinity for violence. Virara is honored to the point of bewilderment by receiving what perceives to be a 'style name' (Rhetidaeg) akin to those granted to warrior nobility in Doma, but at the same time a name given by someone other than Master is a blasphemy to her. It may be that Virara can communicate better with the "Pink Cat" more easily through her first language of the fist than with spoken words alone. In order for them to be closer, Virara must learn to expand beyond her rigid world view.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font><font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font> UNKNOWN : Virara's Master. A notorious manslayer from Doma, whose shadowy exploits and wanton atrocities during the country's ill-fated rebellion were innumerable. Little is known about this terrifying woman, but everything Virara says about her suggests a martial artist of such transcendental skill that only the term 'monster' could properly describe her. For years Virara's only human interaction was with Master. She owes everything that she is to her. Murky, undefined feelings flow through Virara towards Master, stronger than anything she knows, but they are not friends, and not family. Since the day they met Virara has been determined to kill her, both out of obligation and an undefined degree of legitimate hatred.

: <font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font> Tsuchigumo: An assailant wearing 'Okina' the Laughing Old Man mask in Noh theater. It is uncertain whether Tsuchigumo is male, female, or even a person rather than monster or voidsent, but its animosity and murderous lust are all too apparent. It seeks to procure 'the pig' for slaughter, but after a disastrous first encounter, Virara is determined on pain of madness to never let that happen. A master of acrobatics, it has joints that flex in ways a contortionist would cringe at and a mastery of tetsugen, metal wire. It displayed an inability to speak using its own words, "borrowing" the phrases and body language of those it observes, and an almost childish fascination with simple distractions such as bright, flashing lights. Virara's allies took its arm, but it managed to slink away, and a second confrontation is inevitable.

: <font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font> Masked Man: One of Gogonji Gegenji's Khamja, a hired killer wearing 'Hanya,' the Horned Demon mask. He was referred to as "Kirin" by his ally, meeting Virara in battle beneath The Shroud. A young man who appears to have real horns and a thick tail, he is likely Au Ra, but other than his unmotivated disregard for his employer, nothing is known for certain. A skilled martial artist, he favors kicking heavily. He carries himself with a brash, terse demeanor, and refused to fight his utmost against Virara and a party of friends including Jancis and Jajara, instead unleashing trained war hounds upon them. He stated that for Doma, no amount of blood spilt would ever truly be wasted, but his words and actions do not seem to match up.

: <font style="color:#C24640;" size="3">●</font> Masked Woman: One of Gogonji Gegenji's Khamja, a hired killer wearing 'Fukai,' the Grieving Widow mask. As a last line of defense before Anunu and Gogonji, she was hired to obstruct those who would stop Khamja's attack on an Imperial Castrum, as part of a false flag operation meant to thrust the city states into open war with Garlemald. She spoke in an odd rhythm and referred to Kirin as an 'upstart,' suggesting some degree of personal animosity between them. Although claiming to be a rebel for the cause of lost Doma, she also acknowledged it as "mere pretense" upon being pressed. She fights with a poisoned metal chain whip, but the lackluster effort mirrors Kirin's. Like him she abandoned Gogonji to his fate gladly and with no sign of remorse. Neither she nor Kirin seem to have much interest in Virara personally, unlike Tsuchigumo.

'''Jancis Milburga''', a midlander hyur, is a 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.
*Left leg has uneven texture from a zombie attack during the onslaught at Ul'dah's gates headed by [[Jin'li Epinoch]].
*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]].
*Right hand has very faint white lines in the shape of teeth, caused by [[Reginald Ozrik]] biting her hand during an ordeal and healed hastily to lessen backlash.

==<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]]

'''"Flaws"'''
*Jancis is honest to a fault. She will not lie or tell a half-truth. The best she can do is not bring up a topic unless asked. She also complains and isn't cooperative if someone wants her to lie or is lying, calling them out and then correcting their words.
*While someone have to give trust to earn trust, it makes her a pushover when given to the wrong people. Unless it's overly clear she thinks the best of everyone and their intentions, believing them to be the victims of misfortune or simply their good attempts failed. In very few cases has she deemed someone beyond mortal abilities to save from corruption.
*Not growing up with gil, and seeing it as the useless material it is made out of doesn't really give it any value beyond what people tell her. She can't haggle and always overpays.
*She is fearless and will come forward to defend someone, run up to help someone, reach out and touch things that could be dangerous. It's without a second thought.
*Being sensitive to others have made her overly-sensitive. Her hands are kept soft and able to feel problems, but that also leaves them prone to wounds and blisters that are not allowed to callus over so it happens over and over. Hot food is hot. Bitter things are bitter. Spicy foods are spicy! She will cry out when wounded and the only hardened part of her is her mind which endures it.

[[File:Coatleque & Jancis.jpg|400px|right]]
• '''[[A'rho Tia]]''' - A humorous and giving aether user and something of an artist to Jancis. She is easily enchanted and smiling at the man for his witty humor and curious ways he shows care to those around him, particularly his twin brother and L'aenoh. "Master A'rho".<spoiler>
[[File:Arho_wiki_profilepic.png|200px]]<br>
'''Notes'''
*Has a twin brother A'randr, who is he very close to.
*Can manipulate aether into a carbuncle as an extension of himself.
'''Past Events'''
*Met via Rinilda and spoke in-length at the Grindstone one night about healing and even assisted in smaller wounds.
*Met again and spent a good deal of time together during All Saint's Wake where the man continued to encourage and compliment the conjurer's costume.
:*Won the story contest with the girl and mirror.
*Most of the time he comes around the house, Jancis gets distracted and unknowingly helps the man steal many of the juice boxes L'aenoh keeps at the bar.
*Coming to Leanne's picnic, Jancis aether travels with A'randr and he gets very sick. She tells A'rho who claims that his brother could have died and is furious. She feels very calleous and neglectful for leaving A'randr as he was.
*A'rho was marked by the voidsent Mistress Gwendoline. During the fight, A'rho came by and was helping with the wounded at Coralhaus. Asked to look into this voidsent Gwendolyn, he took a sample of everyone's blood to hopefully figure out the problem. Becoming marked himself, he worked to help stop her influence by calling everyone affected together to share information and come to a resolution. Held one of the rings that contains Gwendoline's feelings and memories.
</spoiler>
• '''[[A'randr Tia]]''' - Shy smiling man, Jancis has a strange fondness for the quiet and stoic figure. Finding him quiet and kind with a weird awkward bashfulness, she always tries to talk to him for no particular reason. After seeing his childish display, she keeps her tone more polite than before considering how poorly his body and temperament react to hardships. "Lord A'randr"<spoiler>
[[File:Aran001.png|200px]]<br>
'''Notes'''
*Brother of A'rho
*Has sweaty hands
*Sells tobacco and other smoking novelties.
*Enjoys juice boxes, particularly apple.
'''Past Events''''
*Met at the All Saint's Wake party, unable to talk to him with all the commotion and crowd.
*Going to Leanne's picnic, the two travel via aether which leaves A'randr ill. Telling her to go on ahead, Jancis finds out later how bad it affected him.
*Making a leftover eel dinner, Jancis asks Sigurd to make juice which the twins help with. Coming over with surprise cake, A'randr destroys an orange in his hand which Jancis helps clean off while quoting from a book.
:*“If love were a color, it'd be orange. Not because that's a romantic color, but because it's the sweetest. If you want to know how I feel about you, I just made some juice out of it. Grab a glass—a tall one.”
*A'randr found out that A'rho has been marked by the voidsent Gwendoline and asked for a sample of blood to follow-up with, giving to alchemists he knows. After asking about the results, the man avoided answering and had a fit about a strange woman in his house. Jancis hasn't seen him since and worries what happened with her contaminated blood.
</spoiler>
♠ '''[[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.

Finds Aya inspiring, happily listening to stories and the thoughts of the woman and admiring her ability to do the same for other adventurers. Regards the former lancer as a healer for the work she does feeding and serving in the busiest place in all of Eorzea. Aya always replies that it is 'not that busy'. "Lady Aya"<spoiler>

*Recited poem during Halone's pilgrimage.
</spoiler>
• '''[[Barengar Armsbreaker]]''' - A mercenary who is good with an axe and has a habit of expression emotion and thoughts through a series of grunts. Though the two met by outside influence and both hold the more disagreeable aspects outfront to one another, the two manage to get along and see more through the outer shell to the more caring and deep part of the man. Jancis has gotten use to his inquiries on her status and is still torn about the idea of paying for his services. "Sir Armsbreaker" <spoiler>
[[File:BarengarMeishali.jpg|200px]]<br>
'''Notes'''
*Had a younger brother, Bertram, who passed away in the Ala Mhigan Resistance. Barengar holds a lot of guilt over it.

*Met in the Sea of Clouds at the urging by Sen to help cure and deal with Barengar's shoulder that was causing him a lot of pain. The same time Jancis aided Kaguya "Flower" with her infected horn and gave Barengar the ornament she took off while cleaning the wound.
:*Concerned the axeman would simply ruin the work she put in, based on her initial impression of his reluctant demeanor and reaction to Kaguya, Jancis hires the man hoping paying for him to rest would be enough. He informs her it is not and she ends up struggling to figure out how to honor the contract as much as allow his body to recover.
*Finds Barengar being healed by one of his kin for severe aetheric wounds on both legs and takes him to an empty house so he can rest. After realizing the place is too peaceful/boring, she invites him to stay at Coralhaus while he is under her employ.
</spoiler>
♠ '''[[Bartolomeo Filangieri]]''' - A well respected knight, Jancis met Sir Filangieri her first night with the Harbingers. He left quite an impression on her from his approach and kindness, even taking a particular interest in one of her childish toys. After a particularly crucial fight Jancis has dropped her overly-polite demeanor with the knight which can easily be taken the wrong way. She also reacts acutely to his mannerisms, be them good or bad. She will follow his direction without question. Jancis will refer to him as "Sir Filangieri" strictly. Whereabouts unknown.<spoiler>
[[File:Bartolomeotier.jpeg|200px]]<br>
'''Past Events'''
*Met as a Harbinger.
*Jancis would go to the man for counsel about the actions of others, to which he would usually tell her to follow her heart.
*After seeing the man drop out of a spar at the Grindstone with a miqo'te, she finds out more about his terrible past and gives him an embroider handkerchief to hopefully bring some solace to the man.
*At the Coral beach party, Jancis treats the knight in a particular way which causes him to kiss her. Saddened by her childish mistakes, she ends up apologizing to both him and her then betrothed.
*Losing track of the man's movements through Ul'dah and then Gridania, she believes the man dead or gone.

• '''[[Berrod Armstrong]]''' - Fist fighter and leader of the Agents. Jancis admires the strength and compassion she sees in the man. His gruff demeanor throwing people into realizing the potential they hold, despite the quite and reserved manner he treats her in with their brief meetings. She thinks quite a lot of the man and his company; relying on their hospitality when she passes through the desert. "Sir Armstrong" "Berry"<spoiler>
[[File:BerryWIKI.png|200px]]<br>
'''Notes'''
*Has the ability to focus his chakra and empower others.
'''Past Events'''
*Blunt intimidating man. First time seeing him the man made a crude basic pass at Jancis with a remark, calling her girly, which made the other man present upset. Jancis, in turn, tells Berrod her name so he doesn't have to guess again.
:*Met in the Agent's headquarters in their, then, fighting pit. Berrod and Oscare were fighting and Jancis stayed behind to see how Oscare was recovering from his defeat.
*Had to heal at Grindstone previously when the man would fight in it. Every time she did, he is quiet and reserved.

Moving to protect the delicate elezen Reinette, Jancis ends up slaying one of the men from the use of too much force whereas she expected to merely subdue the man. The operation was an overall success, freeing the other marketed people and giving the Maelstrom a new ship.

*Follow-uped with Franz's condition and needs as requested by Edda as much for her own gaffer. Talking with her, Edda does not consider herself Franz's friend and cannot even bear to say his name.

[[http://i.imgur.com/8lWjvz2.jpg Scene]]
:*Teld're finds out about the attempt to remove the runes through his connection with Faolan. Coming to visit him in Reinette's room, he talks of runes and trying to understand who put it there and what kind of holy metals were used to create the ring within. He shares there is a 'man' called Telos that might help, but has to be reached in dreams and apparently holds no love for Faolan. The three decide to go to Faolan's house in Coerthas to find out what they can. Still having some of the inchor that came out of Faolan, they will test the ooze to see if reacts to anything, particular some special daggers of metals Teld're is versed in understanding.
:*Reinette shared that Faolan wanted to do the surgery immediately and felt compelled to in his haste less he look for someone dubious to do it.

*Worked together on inspecting a lead for the stalker Virara has been dealing with, following the man's tracking skills to a trap where the two including others had to keep Virara alive and fight their way back out. Afterwards, Jancis found out more about the fear and bravery Faolan has.

:*Coming to the house, Jancis is met up with Iskierka on top of the stables. Dropping down she realizes that this "Ronove" is controlling Iskierka's movements. Luckily the beast is confused and cannot find its way from the docks and boardwalk around the Mist. She is given to Renaud's care, trusting the captain to know how to best handle the situation. Unknown to her how the matter was settled, Iskierka is back as before. [[http://i.imgur.com/99oxWXZ.jpg Scene]]
:*Iskierka calls Jancis her 'sister' after Ember's comment on their fondness for each other. The two hug after talking and finding inspiration, mostly because Jancis was influenced by the ring that held Gwendoline's feelings of love and affection.

♦ '''[[Ja'ren A'lenthin]]''' - A reserved arcanist. Very straight forward and blunt man, even when it comes to fights and spars. Jancis can only give the man a curious look when he talks. "Master Ja'ren" <spoiler>

'''Past Events'''
*Made a mincemeat and walnut pie for the man based off what little she thought she knew of the man, comparing him to Ganzjaega. [[http://i.imgur.com/JvxbuMh.jpg Scene]]
*''The Mistress''
:*A cult has been harrassing Ja'ren and his family which pulls the Coral Sea into helping. Following the trail of aether-drained bodies Jancis and [[Iskierka Stormspeaker]] are captured. [[http://files.enjin.com.s3.amazonaws.com/623462/module_gallery/original/2198834.jpg Scene]]
:*Fighting off the last of the cultists, they find out a powerful voidsent being is behind the aether draining, Jancis becoming one of the marked by Gwendolyn; the mark makes her blood smell intoxicating, like flowers, and breathing it in causes people to fall unconscious and have visions. [[http://i.imgur.com/2mw6BRj.jpg Scene]]
::*Zaius, Iskierka, Ja'ren, A'rho, and Ember are all marked including Jancis. She can see them in dreams with Gwendoline.
:*Working with Sigurd and him finding an ancient tome naming someone similar, they find out the voidsent is an ancient force known for succubus style.
:*Iskierka is overwhelmed by the mark, the voidsent inside of her breaking free to possess her body.
:*A'rho has made progress in finding out more of a mark and calls to gather everyone to discuss all they have learned.
:*Sigurd calls Jancis out to the Shroud, where he and another unknown hooded man (Jericho) have fought Gwendoline and managed to make her flee the host body. An unknown woman, babbling, is left and taken to Coralhaus for care and in hopes to find out more and used to bait Gwendoline to capture her.
::*Bringing the former host, the woman to the Coralhaus, Sigurd constructs a ward for the home (with some difficulty) and Jancis helps watch over the woman kept in her care. Still her name unknown, the lady wanders the house like a child eating and sleeping as she wishes.
:Falling down and going unconscious while having her shoulder tended to from removing crystal shards, Jancis becomes a vessel for Gwendoline, her soul and heart heavy.
:*Following a lead to another odd voidsent, or possibly undead, creature Zozo the Coral group reluctantly agrees to do tasks to attain control of a set of six rings. The event leads them through arguing with eachother and multiple veiled threats from Renaud about being there to kill anyone found past saving. Sigurd and Ja'ren agree the rings should be kept together until Staelufre breaks in and steals one. More chaos ensues when Ja'ren's ring filled with anger overcomes him and the house breaks into a fight resulting in the man losing a finger in the ordeal.
:*Finding out more on how to limit Gwendoline, Jancis and the others bound to a ring enter a ritual dream to experience the visions the voidsent is subject to and berates others with. Finding the lies within, Jancis, A'rho, and Staelufre are freed from the rings' influence and Jancis, Zaius, and Iskierka are freed from their marks. Ja'ren however is left in a hazed state.
:*Completing the ritual dream, the others are freed from Gwendoline's influence and her soul is completely absorbed by Ja'ren. In the crucial moments before being completely overtaken, her soul is drawn out and ripped into three parts to different crystals. The others return to recover from their physical and mental wounds, but the threat of her is no more.

<font style="color: #AC58FA" size="3">♥</font> '''[[L'aenoh Tia]]''' - Trained and rustic swordsman with few wits about him beyond his heart. 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>

:*Black Bottle: Tastes nice, but shoots through the person in half a bell.

'''Current Goals'''
*Keep tabs with the man by writing letters about what is going on in the company.
'''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.[[http://i.imgur.com/QE3gNTq.png Scene]]
*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. [[http://i.imgur.com/JhnzKeO.jpg Scene]]
*Spoke to in his office about his need to travel and be away for some time, telling Jancis to keep being strong but to not stop being soft at the same time.

♥ '''[[Kurt Steel]]''' - Axeman, cook, and retainer of the Red Wings. Jancis met him in a curious way that has made their initial contact awkward from her own actions despite his kind, protective, and attentive mannerism. She's taken up the habit to writing him letters and speaking of him fondly and wistfully. Overall, her mannerism to him is conflicted in the urge to help repair the wounds she sees within him and the her belief in her inability to without taking them on herself, something he wouldn't allow. "Lord Kurt" "Kurt"<spoiler>
[[File:KSteel.png|right|200px]]
'''Notes'''
*Sable Hall's Steward
*Raised in Wineport by his mother, who is a tough cookie.
*Has the ability to channel fury, an old warrior skill.
*Has one green eye from an affliction he had before with a curse.
'''Past Events'''
*Acquaintance meeting at Cliodhna's Drinking Contest where the man was helping manage the event. Jancis had noticed his endless supply of food offers to guests and also how he ran off with a large waraxe to get a fresh kill for Spahro.
*At a fundraising auction for guard services, Jancis uses some of her debt to help out with the funding. Giving Leanne a large platinum coin to bid on Kurt and make sure he went for a fair price, Leanne takes it further and matches the bid to ensure winning. She then introduces the two where the man insists on helping both of them for their contribution.
:*"Cashing in" the bid, as Kurt put it, the two travel across part of La Noscea as he shows the conjurer different parts of the isle he use to travel in his youth. [[http://jancisstuff.tumblr.com/post/119402518268/ic-log-meeting-kurt Log]]
:*Learning more about one another, Kurt takes a "gamble" and declares he is interested in getting in line with the others looking to court Jancis (wherein she says no one is).
:*Continuing from seeing the coral reef off the coast of del Sol, Kurt takes Jancis swimming to touch them, then makes a bold move later on. Sure she could not simply accept such a kiss, she departs. Afterwards, the man sends her letters in apology and declaring how he wants to prove his love for her with more than words.
:*Waiting to receive word to meet face-to-face about their previous encounter, Jancis hears about a wound he received up north from Cliodhna, she heads to his Company's Hall to help with his recovery from poison. During that time, the two get outside for some air and he reinforces the fact of his commitment to her. [[http://i.imgur.com/oABsxax.jpg Scene]]
*Meeting up for what Jancis hopes is a day to help him with inner pain, she finds a woman much like Kurt waiting for her arrival wounded. Quickly taking care of the wounds, the other ideas are left aside and the conjurer fails to show the manner of quiet decorum he wished for in his ordeal, particularly around others at Camp Bronze Lake.
*Met up in Coerthas, helping Jancis deal with the cold after a dream ritual for Sigurd. Knowing all of the duties and people Kurt takes care of, she is very grateful for what she has in an ally.
</spoiler>
♥ '''[[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>

*Gave Jancis a plush moogle doll (like the one his wife has) in gratitude for her help.

*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.
*Followed-up on failed assistance with "Lynx". Though the woman was put in Jancis' custody, she failed to remove the foreign aether or persuade the woman to have it removed.
*Update with the status of the Red Ruby Assassins.
:*Asked for help from 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. [[http://i.imgur.com/iKbijVj.jpg Scene]]

♥ '''[[Leanne Delphium]]''' - Jancis met while healing at the Grindstone, impressed by her ability to deal with pain while Jancis tended to others with more serious wounds. The lady appears now and again to sing at pilgrimages and around Jancis, always sharing more about herself especially in love to be a kindred spirit. A comforting presence. "Champion Leanne" "Lady Leanne"<spoiler>
[[File:Leanne_new.png|200px|right]]

*Has a special hat. Regardless of being exhausted or incapcitated, the woman will hold on to.
*Traveling Bard and Archer Competitor at the Grindstone; winning at least once giving her the name "Champion Leanne".
*Sings lovely songs about love and adventure. ''"Put on my shoes, put on my hat. Adventurer am I."''
*Not much of a cook, making a sweet pie for Chachanji out of random fruits and candies.
'''Current Goals'''
*Jancis has some of the red poppies from before pressed into a book to present to Leanne. She needs help to either craft or present the delicate flowers.
*Leanne is The Harp.
'''Past Events'''
*Met at the Grindstone when the lady held onto her own shoulder wound waiting for the other opponents to be healed in a rather brutal round.
*After assisting Captain Dogberry to deal with the Primal Moogle King, heard Leanne sing for the first time at the hot springs in Outer La Noscea.
*Encouraged the travelling bard to have a home base with people who care about her, joining the Coral Sea.
*Dealing with an insane northern house, Leanne helps physical deal with the problem and recover Lady Edda.
*Bard for pilgrimages to [[Lore:The Twelve|the Twelves' stones]] for Nald'thal, Nophica, Halone, and Thaliak.
*Check in with Leanne about her broken heart and inability to sleep. Sent her out to find Cali's Poppy flowers to make a helpful tea or tincture. The two ended up singing together and sharing some woes about lost love. [[http://i.imgur.com/eKW1ZRQ.jpg Scene]]
*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.
*At the Red Wings fundraiser, Leanne does a favor for Jancis to bid on the kind man who helped them both at Lady Cliodhna's drinking contest at Sable Hall. Leanne wins the bid for Kurt, but insists that it is for Jancis and plays matchmaker. The man agrees to assist them both when they try to decline.
</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>
[[File:MemeliMeli.png|200px|right]]
'''Notes'''
*Very sensitive to hair grabs, but Jancis has also adopted the gesture to show fondess.
*Loves sweets.
*Has the strange ability to try and subdue people with chemicals.
*Unknown cosmic aetheric powers lie within.
'''Current Goals'''
*''Fire and Ash'': Memeli had a spirit stored within her to change the fate of Eorzea, and it grew discontent with Memeli's lifestyle. Staying behind as others fight, Memeli lays in a coma after the spirit inside her is defeated and vanquished. Help the woman recover in the infirmary and return mostly back to her old self.
'''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]]
*''Memeli's Bread and Butter'': After heading to a ruins for other reasons, Memeli falls under a curse from the ghost of a white mage. [[http://i.imgur.com/5cxYt2E.jpg Scene]]
:*Realizing that the ghost is leaving clues to draw Memeli in, others go with her and fall under some spell that punishes them with sewn up mouths and their tongues split to keep them from talking. The night goes on while tending to wounds to follow Ehla in finding the lost Coral Captain who 'fell into the box'.
:*Following with the others who head up the curse and reversing it, Jancis finds this ghost knows a lot about the company through the riddle she became in involved in. Memeli, back home and recovered, lost her eye in the ordeal.

[[File:Ffxiv_11012014_182920.png|200px|right]]
'''Notes'''
*Oscare openly admits his Garlean roots and some of his intentions, which makes reefs between them depending who is involved, forcing the highlander into a shell of emotional suffering.
*Has violet eyes and multiple scars around them.
*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. [[http://i.imgur.com/OHoRiin.jpg Crane]]
'''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. [[http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/showthread.php?tid=8166&pid=109775#pid109775 Letter]]
:*Meeting with him again, Jancis receives a beautiful rosewood crane figurine Oscare carved himself.
:*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. The day after he returns apologizing for asking her and, after remarking on her attire, vanishes again.
::*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.

:*[[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.
*Invited to attend the bonding of Kayllen Stormbringer and Sojiana, other Agents, afterwards the two gave wishes and blessings at their guardian's stones. [[http://i.imgur.com/U0pIE4l.jpg Ceremony]] [[http://i.imgur.com/VPvenT1.jpg At Thaliak's Marker]]
*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.
*Performed at the pilgrimage for Thaliak, disgracing the celebration.

:*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.

:*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.

:*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.

♦ '''[[Renee Becquerel|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.

♠ '''[[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 as well as holds a lot of care and fondess for a man she believes saved her from death.

*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.

*Asked for his help,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.

*After being tricked by Memeli, Syl drinks the entire elixir of a love potion. Being overdosed, Jancis feels trapped to not try and purge the woman's system for how Lady Meli reacted to the same treatment and lets the potion run its course. Syl ends up giving Jancis a kiss before the conjurer can stop her and is forced to use her magicks to let Syl sleep off the rest.

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.

[[File:Tau-Wiki-Ava.jpg|200px|right]]
'''Notes'''

*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.

*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.

♦ '''[[Tiergan Vashir]]''' - A swordsman, caring, yet tormented man. Every interaction Jancis has had with this man has only improved her opinion of him. He is one of the few that will call for her help and sees more sides to her than most even in their brief interactions. She thinks very highly of what the man has overcome, though not well known, and hopes to show the same gratitude in return. "Sir Vashir"<spoiler>
[[File:DA_tier.jpg|200px|right]]
'''Notes'''
*Close to J'azhar
*Back and most of his body is overlapped with scars, particular weapon ones.
'''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.
*:Known Stones: Leanne - Harp, Chachanji - Rabbit, Ember - Firefly, Staelufre - Owl
'''Past Events'''
*Quote: ''"You're never a tool. Just a beautiful friend both inside and out. Never forget that. I spent all of my life being shaped into a weapon and a tool for another's use. I know one when I see one. And that is not who or what you are."''
*Met as part of the Coral Sea, the knight joining and calling for assistance over the linkshell for his companions, including Teld're.
*Worked with on hunting the tempered for the Siren, following his lead and helping to encourage Chuchukepa against the tempered kraken they ran into.

♥ '''[[Val Nunh]]''' - A uncooth fighter, Jancis met Val while she was being evaluated to study under the Harbingers.

*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.
:*Overwhelmed by another man who paid an exorbitant amount of gil for Val at a Ladies' Day auction, Jancis fails to continue the tradition.
*Meeting up in the Mist for awhile, the two talk about life and their concerns in it. Jancis picks up the habit of sending him letters with random items with their names on it so he can become a better reader. [[http://i.imgur.com/1gy7rSN.jpg Scene]]
*Coming to visit Val as he recovers from an torturous ordeal, he gives her advice on love by telling her to "Jump". Jancis is concerned how odd Val acts about being rescued and then isolated. [[http://i.imgur.com/UHexwZF.jpg Scene]]

♠ '''[[Z'enath Vashyr]]''' - A Free Paladin of Ul'dah and accomplished swordsman. Has a smile that always catches her off-guard.

*''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.

:*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.

::*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]]

*At Red Wing's fundraising, Jancis takes on extra work for the gil to donate to their coffers. With Jana's help, she wins the bid on Zachary despite all of the taunters. He insists on taking her out and talking.

[[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>

*'''Belongings'''
:* ''Spade'': A small blackened iron garden spade. The item itself has a curious handle that's not a design for digging tool. The spade was originally a dagger which was held by Jancis' captain in case her and Ja'ren's possession by the powerful voidsent, Gwendoline, became permament and the company failed to save them. Throwing the dagger to the sand, Jancis retrieved it and brought it to a close friend, Sir Gegenji, who melted down the metal and reforged it into something more fitting. The original hilt was reused.
:* ''Herb Satchel'': A small cloth bag, no bigger than Jancis' palm. It is tied with a bow faded in color and filled with sweet smelling roots. Embroidered with an initial "M" on the front, the satchel is plain otherwise. Given to her by Lady Edda; a goodluck charm the lady made when she was young. "A small herb satchel made by her brother for her 16th nameday, with Edda's middle initial sewn on it. Worthless, but high sentimental value." [[http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/showthread.php?tid=11185&pid=178165#pid178165 Source]]
:* ''Flower Scroll'': Parchment with a simple arcanima spell, with instructions written for novice casters or those unfamiliar to arcanima. When cast, it would create an image of a beautiful field of flowers, according to the season and month. The scroll itself is hand-drawn with care, to ensure that the spell would be usable for repeated uses.
:* ''Red Scarf'': A regular-sized square scarf of shimmering red silk which no other decoration to it. The silk it is made of, however, has fire aether within it from a very delicate process of some of the adapted creatures among the crystals around the land and picking up the elemental aspect. The scarf itself always gives off a subtle warmth.
:* ''Wooden Fawn''" A fairly large wooden carving, about the length of her forearm, depicts a gentle and observant fawn from the Twelveswood. The wood itself has been scented with oils to have an aroma of violets.
:* ''Red Lotus Stone'': Kept wrapped in handkerchief, a small crimson gemstone, flat and palm-sized with the symbol of a Crane is somehow carved within it. The gem has subtle aether trace that connects this stone to its many others and a device called "The Lotus".
:* ''Feather Hair Clip'': A silver hair clip adorned with a aquamarine gem and the feathers of a rare bird found on La Noscea. A gift from Oscare, who found the bird and got some of its magnificent feathers, had the clip made for her as an apology gift and a token for the Starlight Ball.
:* ''Birch Squirrel'': This squirrel seems to be perched on part of a log, one of the common animals of the Shroud she grew up. The carving has a very organic feel where knots and twists in the wood were used in the design.
:* ''Rosewood Crane'': A small hand-sized crane carved from a rich rosewood. The bird has been polished many times and has very simple deeply-scored details of wings to give it a glossy and smooth appearance.
:* ''Cushioned Rug Bed'': A leather and fleece rug built with extra padding in it. A gift from Otto that he made personal when she continued to refuse one of the beds he had crafted. The man delivered the rug himself. While most of her furniture belongings were made by Otto, this one is by far the most endearing.
:* ''Lapis Ring'': A simple silver ring with a small lapis lazuli set. The blue stone in this ring once belonged to the mask Jancis would wear while travelling. Promising her first love to not wear the mask anymore by giving it to him, the mask was shattered and all that remained was the stone. Later on, it was set to be her engagement ring. The item is kept on a chain now instead.
:* ''Painting'': A hand-painted map of Eorzea done in more artistic brush strokes than one for locating and serious use. In particular on this painting are key points highlighted: the city states and everywhere of note that pertained to what Z'enath and Jancis knew of together at the time.
:* ''Seashell Charm Bracelet'': A small scalloped-shaped silver charm had the engraving "L.F." upon it. The bracelet itself was also silver and meant for a toddler's wrist. The item was given to Jancis' first love and lost somewhere, possibly in the snowy mountains of Coerthas.
:* ''Map of the Black Shroud'': Now just disassembled pieces of paper from the amount of times it's been folded and re-folded, this old map is outdated and written over, erased, and written over again. A random assortment of 'landmarks' and notes are on it to determine where Jancis was raised.
:* ''Coverless Book'': Her favorite book, the binding is worn out and it's carefully kept in a handkerchief to keep from losing pages. It's where she chose her name from and inspired her to fight for freedom which brought her to where she is today. It's basically based off of The Renegades of Pern if she references it with dragons and nomads and discovering what life could be.

:*♪The way that you love dear, the fate of the world you leave behind ♪ A way to the future, making a moment built to last ♪ You want to love, well now's your chance ♪ "To me, Jancis is someone full of opposites. She is strong, and gentle. She is withdrawn, but extroverted. There is so much honesty within her, but she's mysterious in her quiet nature. The clearest thing I've ever seen about Jancis is how she loves. She loves everyone, good and bad, because they are people and to her that is the most important of all the things. Jancis is someone who wears her heart on her sleeve, and is strong enough not to let it get broken by the world. The slow but up-beat tune of this song suits her to me. I love the way it goes up and down, because I feel Jancis must have had a lot of hardships in her life. But overall, this song is full of hope."

[[category:Player Character]]

'''Acting Flame Lieutenant Kale Aideron''' is an Ul'dahn sipahi (or cavalryman) of the Immortal Flames Bloodsworn. A native of Pearl Lane, Kale is a veteran of the Grand Company since Foundation Day, and was a mercenary troop for a decade prior, having done little else but deal with conflict throughout his entire life. An oft-times intense individual with strong convictions, Kale is very outspoken about how he thinks things should be, but is otherwise a mostly affable and outgoing man who enjoys facing Eorzea's challenges in the company of others.

==<div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#000000;font-size:14px;color:#E0E0E0;"><b>Character</b></div>==
<table style="position:center;" width="75%">
<tr>

<table style="position:center;" width="75%">
<tr>
<center>''"I just do my job. Nothin' more, nothin' less"''</center>

Proud and upstanding, Kale is a hardened soldier who values forthrightness, diligence, and tradition. Though happy to joke, flirt, and laugh when appropriate, Kale is veritably no-nonsense in situations he perceives to require a suitable sense of gravitas. With high standards of himself, others, and society, Kale seeks to espouse the best of Ul'dahn military discipline, unwavering in fulfilling the duties of his station. His belligerence towards those he sees as hostile to the Sultanate's way of life is rooted in nothing more than powerful convictions and a stubborn loyalty to his worldview. Nonetheless, his professional attitude means that he will almost always put aside his personal disagreements when either lives or laws are in danger.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#707070;font-size:14px;color:#E0E0E0;">Appearance</div>===
<table style="position:center;" width="75%">
<tr>
<center>''"Strength 'as nothin' to do with 'ow we look like -to- others, but 'ow we look -at- others."''</center>
:'''Body:''' Broad shouldered and large chested, Kale might just be saved from being too much of a stereotypical Highlander by virtue of not being all that tall. In fact, compared to other Highlander men, Kale may even be considered short. Far from lean but equally distant from being gratuitously muscular, Kale's occupation as a soldier means that he is always burning excess fat and bulk, even despite his Highlander genetics combined with continuous physical conditioning and a large appetite. Many wounds and scars are visible when Kale wears clothing that reveals areas of his torso or other appendages. They are all faded, indicating that conjury or other forms of healing came too late to prevent permanent marking.<br>

:'''Face:''' A very defined bone structure characterizes Kale's facial features. A large nose sticks out between a low brow that gives Kale an almost intense resting expression. Kale's somewhat narrow eyes betrays their striking bronze hue, set above a pair of prominent cheekbones and slightly gaunt cheeks. In turn, these features sit above a distinct jaw and somewhat rounded, jutting chin. His calloused and rough skin is worn from a mixture of age, sun, and battle. The corners of his eyes are creased, and his forehead is a touch wrinkled. A single scar is set across his left cheek, a couple of ilms or so in length.

:'''Hair:''' Kale never has his hair longer than an ilm, almost always shaven. He frequently carves traditional Highlander clan patterns into his buzzed hair by making cleaner shaves along his scalp, considering this one of his few hobbies. His thin stubble appears to be shaven daily, and meticulously.

:'''Fashion:''' As a Grand Company soldier, Kale wears a Flame uniform appropriate to the current duty and in accordance with his rank. This varies from the standard grey combat dress to the elaborate armour of a Flame elite. As an off-duty Ul'dahn, he can be seen wearing various kurtas and matching turbans, blending in with the citizenry of Ul'dah. His plain sense of dress means he may not be able to be identified from the crowd of commonfolk, which is more than ideal in his mind.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#707070;font-size:14px;color:#E0E0E0;">Behavior</div>===
<table style="position:center;" width="75%">
<tr>
<center>''"Please, tell us more 'bout 'ow much more bloody special you are than the rest of us...I insist"''</center>
:'''Voice:''' Slightly deep and only faintly hoarse, Kale may talk very quickly for some. This is quite noticeable with Kale's habit of arbitrarily amalgamating or crudely conjugating words and dropping entire letters in pronunciation of certain syllables. His accent puts his origins as someone from Pearl Lane, or alternatively as someone who has spent their time as a rank-and-file soldier for many summers.

:'''Demeanor:''' Aggressively gregarious, Kale is extremely friendly presuming whoever he is engaging with meets his specific set of standards. A staunch traditionalist, Kale is intolerant of nonconformists and those who do not fit in with his world view, with a no-nonsense attitude towards those who believe themselves in possession of greater merit than others. This is generally true of adventurers, who, in Kale's mind, are the most prone to quirky or self-aggrandizing behaviours. He perceives these types of adventurers as self-indulgent, and a waste to a society of which he believes values more pragmatic pursuits. However, Kale does occasionally give certain persons the benefit of the doubt, constructively scrutinizing them in the open as he decides whether or not the individual in question is worth his time. If not, Kale is prone to being outspoken about those with "offensive" lifestyles.

:'''Quirks:''' Kale is expressive with his body language, prone to placing his hands on his hips when feeling confident about a social situation, or crossing his arms when reserved or pensive (often, this may be reversed). Gesticulation is a frequent habit, flailing or sweeping his arms should he feel excited about a particular topic. In contrast, Kale is relatively still should he be unimpressed by someone or something. He often rubs the back of his neck when nervous or embarrassed. He is racist towards Miqo'te, believing them to be an uncivilized and backwards race (especially when it comes to gender relations) akin to a beast tribe, with no place in the civilized walls of the city-states. However, Kale's pride in being professional and discretionary means he may keep this opinion to himself when he finds himself working alongside a Miqo'te individual.

:'''Intelligence:''' Kale can not be considered formally educated, and instead relies on personal wisdom and a reserve of knowledge accumulated over the years. This knowledge mostly pertains to political and military affairs, with trivia about the various places he has visited during his lifetime. He believes himself astute about the motivations of others, which he has applied to tactical decision-making when serving in a leadership capacity. Situational awareness and strategic thinking he considers a forte of his, particularly the ability to think and remain cool under pressure. Kale has only pedestrian knowledge about the supernatural realm, accumulated primarily when dealing with enemies who rely on arcane arts. Somewhat uncharacteristic of Kale is his tendency to occasionally use advanced vocabulary, which betrays his plebian accent. It may be possible that this habit was learned during Kale's time as a senior sergeant in the Immortal Flames, as well as through frequent interactions with commissioned officers and other educated persons.<br>

==<div style="padding:10px 15px; background:#000000;font-size:14px;color:#E0E0E0;"><b>Combat</b></div>==
<center>''"Fuckin' kill the enemy, or don't. Lives depend on it"''</center>
:'''Style''': An extremely offensive combatant, Kale finds himself compelled to be at the epicenter of any altercation with the enemy. As he does not hold a specific code of honour or set of principles in warfare (beyond basic humanity and common sense), Kale does not shy away from using more brutal methods in seeking to defeat the enemy. This might include the breaking of limbs or the infliction of grievous facial injury, most assuredly so when there is a need to demoralize other enemies nearby. Not particularly fast or slow, Kale alters his speed of combat as and when required, focusing on the most efficient (but not necessarily the cleanest) ways of extinguishing the enemy. Kale puts emphasis on dismemberment or disembowelment when there is a need for expedience.

:'''Specialization''': Toe-to-toe engagement with all types of swords and shields, either against single or multiple foes. Frontline fighting alongside other melee combatants in a general military formation. Kale can combine his gladiator discipline with pugilist training. Alternatively, Kale can fight unarmed entirely with a relatively slow and powerful form, emphasizing impact and damage over speed and dexterity. Skilled in fighting on chocoboback. Competent in the use of axes, lances, crossbows, and firearms.

:'''Strengths''': Kale has been in the fighting business as his primary occupation for the entirety of his adult life and the majority of his adolescence. As an extensively trained disciple of war then, Kale has experience with a wide variety of opponents, although these are mostly military or paramilitary in nature. Overpowering the enemy via head-on combat with skilled swordsmanship, strength, and endurance comes naturally to him, especially weapon-on-weapon engagements. Kale has the most experience with human opponents, as well as the beast races (Amalj'aa and Qiqirn most notably).

:'''Weaknesses''': Kale's narcissistic obsession with victory and the submission of his opponent can be exploited by more calculating or restrained foes, particularely those who desensitize themselves to the fight or who are otherwise not so passionate. In addition, the compulsion to be showy and theatrical leaves him vulnerable to clinical opponents who care not for Kale's attempts at intimidation. He can also be overcome by speed and agility, or unorthodox fighters who could throw a battlefield fighter off-guard. Kale's lack of experience with magic makes him exceptionally vulnerable to this discipline, and this is a surefire method to drain his iron fortitude.

:'''Armour''': Kale is capable in all armour designs, from plate and chainmail to leather. Years of marching in the field while equipped in heavy armour is one of the primary factors in conditioning his physique and shaping his defined musculature. As a result, Kale can move in heavier material at only a slightly slower pace than if he were wearing lighter fabrics.

:*'''Friendly and boisterous''': Assuming Kale finds nothing offensive about a particular social situation, he can be counted on to stimulate interaction between a group of friends of acquaintances, and seeks to be inclusive, even with more quiet types.
:*'''Pathologically honest''': Kale's directness means that his opinions and whatever else comes out from his sometimes loud mouth can be taken at face value. This has made him nigh incorruptible.
:*'''Hard-working and professional''': Work first, play later, Kale has worked hard throughout his entire life. Kale can be relied on to put a tremendous amount of effort to any task within his skillset in an efficacious manner. In addition, he values himself as a serious professional, crushing sloppiness and inefficiency in whatever he touches.
:*'''Consistent and loyal''': Kale takes his commitments seriously, and values stability over all else. He is thus rarely inconsistent, and can be entrusted with matters that demand an aversion to deviation. Loyal as well, Kale will silence his outspoken self and obey the orders of those he believes rightfully appointed over him.
:*'''Protective''': Often ignoring his own wellbeing (especially emotional), Kale espouses the value of others and will always ensure that everyone is safe and secure. Indeed, even if he does not like a particular individual on a personal level, he will stand up for them either verbally or physically should Kale believe that the subject in question has done nothing wrong on a societal and/or professional level.
:*'''Strong leader''': With a need to be in control of any situation, Kale makes a very good leader for most practical pursuits, being able to fall back on years of military experience to aid him in this.

:'''Negative traits''':
:*'''Tendency to believe he is always right''': Kale feels that his personal belief system is merely an echo of the principles that Ul'dahn society espouses, and since society is seen to him as something that shelters countless thousands, he has a hard time buying into the possibility his worldview may or may not have its flaws.
:*'''Very demanding and critical''': Kale's extremely high standards and stubborn disposition means he often does not hold back in calling out someone or something he finds disagreeable. This can be detrimental in circumstances that value cooperation and compromise. He has high expectations of others, and will freely admonish those who fail to hold up.
:*'''Intolerant of idiosyncrasies and nonconformity''': Valuing the good of society above all else, Kale is impatient with individuals whom he believes do not contribute to the greater whole. He is belligerent to those he feels to espouse these sorts of lifestyles.
:*'''Controlling with a strong need to be in charge''': Despite Kale's strong leadership traits, his obsession with domination can go either way when it is not satisfied. Either Kale will become awkward and quiet, or abrasive and argumentative. He especially does not like being ignored or not listened to when he believes himself to be in the right. When protective to the extreme, Kale can be controlling of people close to him, especially so when he feels that he knows what is best for them. He will become angry and frustrated when someone behaves counter to what Kale believes to be in their best interest.
:*'''Insensitive''': Though Kale can sometimes tackle matters of personal emotions with a grounded and rational approach, he is guilty of valuing his personal principles higher than the feelings of others. This can hurt those who value interpersonal harmony over uncompromising loyalty to principle.
:*'''Appearance conscious''': Kale's strong belief in conforming to tradition means that he is very conscious of his appearance, not just with clothing but with conducting himself in public. He is prone to prudishness despite not coming from an affluent background, and will often seek to impose this sense of appropriateness on others. Kale is also very disapproving of those who wear 'incorrect' fashions. He is known to take strong issue and vocalize his disagreements with adventurers who wear armour and other outfits that either has considerable historical/political significance, or is alien enough in design to stand out from normality.

: ● '''[[Anzio Zansio]]''' - A young Lalafellin lad and Immortal Flame soldier. Anzio had served alongside Kale since the inception of the Flame Yataghans to the latter's untimely departure, leading the unit together through major engagements such as Operation Archon in northern Thanalan. As such, Kale regards Anzio in high esteem, and would gladly lay down his life for his former comrade-in-arms.
: ● '''[[Avalt Laguz]]''' - A Hyuran mage with a Sylph-like manner of speaking. Kale finds this young man odd, and often treats him with hostility and impatience. Kale bears no illwill or malice to the man, however, seeing him as ultimately harmless.
: ● '''[[Bartolomeo Filangieri]]''' - An upstanding Hyuran paladin whom Kale does not see often, but is always happy to find himself in Bartolomeo's company whenever the two do encounter one another. Kale does wonder how he could spend more time with this gentleman.
: ● '''[[Ciel Wulfe]]''' - An Elezen bard who Kale met during an assignment to a free company. Initially, the pair's different backgrounds and upbringing caused several miscommunications and misunderstandings, but recently the two have come to see one another as friends and comrades. Although from two completely separate worlds, with the Hyur valuing stability and security and the Elezen valuing a more open-ended life, the pair have begun to appreciate one another's differences as close friends.
: ● '''[[Coatleque Crofte]]''' - A stoic member of the Sultansworn that Kale has encountered many times within Ul'dahn city walls. Kale perceives her as overly and perhaps needlessly formal, but nonetheless respects her as a fellow disciple of war in service to the Sultanate. This is no doubt in part because he finds her ability to see the world how he does most agreeable.
: ● '''[[Emmette Stringers]]''' - An Ul'dahn woman with pursuits that elude Kale for the most part. Currently, Kale can be sighted spending a lot of free time with this woman.
: ● '''[[Ignera Arbell]]''' - An Ishgardian noblewoman who has been residing in Ul'dah. Kale takes pleasure in chaperoning Ignera around Ul'dah, and showing her the greatness of his city.
: ● '''[[Jancis Milburga]]''' - A Lominsan conjurer whom Kale has become acquainted with through happenstance. Kale is highly appreciative of her compassionate and charitable outlook. Although Kale cannot read, she sends him letters with various trinkets and other gifts from time-to-time, and has also made a good impression on the Highlander's chocobo, Eskandar.
: ● '''[[Locke Rinannis]]''' - An unassuming tinkerer known by Kale for a long time. He is in charge of maintenance at Nanasha Barracks, and is generally regarded as extremely innocuous but generally likable by Kale.
: ● '''[[Nailah Quill]]''' - An old friend of Kale. Known to him as 'Sastra', Kale likes to visit her and her company from time-to-time, all for the benign purposes of catching up while drinking.
: ● '''[[Oni De'phor]]''' - A Midlander lancer that Kale met during his time in the Sword & Rose Order. Kale finds him quite strange with the mysterious duality, and continues to give the man the benefit of the doubt.
: ● '''[[Orrin Halgren]]''' - A dragoon of the Holy See, Kale has had the pleasure of fighting alongside Ser Halgren. While he cannot say much for the dragoon's brash heroics (which he attributes to an inherent quality of the dragonslayers), Kale nonetheless found himself impressed by the Ishgardian's ability.
: ● '''[[Ruruni Runi]]''' - A Lalafellin lass and weaver. Kale enjoys the simple interactions he shares with the fellow company member, seeing it as a pleasant escape from life's intensities.
: ● '''[[Sarcire Sinclair]]''' - A Hyuran woman whom Kale has known for a while, encountering her at random times (which the Ul'dahn has rationalized as her being some powerhungry mage in search of...more power). Kale appreciates the assistance Sarcire has given him thus far, and takes particular enjoyment in trying to assert his large ego over her perceived arrogance.
: ● '''[[Vallona Windchaser]]''' - Fellow Bloodsworn and deputy to Kale. The two Highlanders share a very strong affinity with one another for their common ground, although as far as anyone else is concerned, Vallona is merely Kale's sergeant.

<div style="font: 20px Times New Roman, serif; text-indent: 1em; padding: auto; min-height: 700px;">
'''Coatleque Crofte''' (pronounced cottl-ee-kay) is, by her knowledge, the only remaining surivor of her fishing village from the north. Her life has been hard since the Calamity, but she is slowly working to piece it back together and raise her station in the city of coin.

She tries to appear and act like a proper lady at all times. Often found in and around Ul'dah as she is unable to stray very far due to her duties as a Sultansworn, she is a chronic workaholic and will almost always be found in uniform. She considers this to be her only proof of station within the city and takes her position very seriously.

While most people around the city can easily see her in the role of a knight, to any true noble it would be blatantly clear that she is not of their blood. While on duty she acts with the utmost respect and exudes the authoritative presence one would expect of the Sultansworn. When off-duty, she will always be dressed well with her hair made up, often with a hat of some sort. Her nights are spent quietly observing the myriad adventurers that pass through the city on the off chance she may hear rumors related to whatever investigations she has pending.

She had been shy in her past as the responsibility of the Gallantry was first laid upon her, but since then she has grown into the position. She is not one to begin a conversation, but she can certainly end one if it is called for. Her speech is slow and practiced unless something has upset or distracted her. In these moments her Ala'Mhigan origins will show through.

Her involvement with a Monetarist nobleman, Jameson Taeros, was well known through the city at one point. She has been rather withdrawn from the public lately, and the man himself has not been seen for some time. Inquiries into the affairs of House Taeros would find that the estate has been recently foreclosed upon.

=Education=
[[File:Coatleque_Crofte_4.jpg|250px|left]]
<div style="font: 20px Times New Roman, serif; text-indent: 1em; padding: auto; min-height: 325px;">
Coatleque did not have any formal education when she arrived in Ul'dah. Being the daughter of a fisherman, she knew how to cook, clean, and gut fish. She spoke with a heavy Ala'Mhighan accent and poorly at that. She was forced to learn quickly how to act and address the nobility, due to circumstances, or else she would not have survived long.

As of now she is able to read, write, and can speak slowly and eloquently as long as she is focused on her speech. She has basic knowledge of a myriad of useless skills which she had to learn, the more important of those being slight of hand and picking simple locks. Anything more than those of typical shackles would be beyond her skill.

The majority of her formal learning is that of swordplay from her training in the Sultansworn Order. While she was certainly not the best of her class, she did excel quickly at it and earned a few nicknames due to her two-handed fighting style that tended to leave her practice mates with sprained wrists.
</div>

=Spirituality=
[[File:Crofte_ByEdda.jpg|250px|right]]
<div style="font: 20px Times New Roman, serif; text-indent: 1em; padding: auto;">
A firm believer in the Twelve, Coatleque relies on them for strength and guidance. She sees the work of their hands in all things around her and is baffled by how blind some people can be in their lack of faith. She is not one to push her beliefs on others even as she makes mention of the Twelve frequently through conversations.

In her past, Llymlaen was the patron of her village, being settled on the shores of Gyr'Abania. Some of her people did adopt Rhalgr as most of Ala'Mhigo would. It was through the faith of her friend Sapphire that she began to trust more in Menphina after she was brought to Ul'dah.

Seeing relationship after relationship either fall apart or end with another dead lover, combined with the loss of her close friend Natalie in the Order, she has taken Rhalgr as her patron. Recent events in her life have made her come to realize she cannot maintain a neutral ground where politics and justice collide. Through the blessings of Rhalgr she would hope to bring about the destruction of the plots of evil men against her new home.

Coatleque is also closely tied to Nymeia, goddess of fate, whom she believes will place portents of things to come in the dreams of those whom are destined to change them.
</div>

=Combat=
[[File:Crofte_combat.jpg|250px|right]]
<div style="font: 20px Times New Roman, serif; text-indent: 1em; padding: auto; min-height: 500px;">
Coatleque has no martial prowess other than that of the sword, her skill thereof being every bit of that which one would expect from the Sultana's Elite guard - though she is no grandmaster. Her style is one of mobility and brute force. She focuses on dodging attacks while exploiting openings in defense, and therefore will not favor a shield in combat. It is rumored that a full on hit from her blade when wielded with two hands is enough to split a wooden shield, or shatter the victim's arm if it is metal.

It is just as well that she has no love of combat and views all life as sacred. She very rarely spars with any live opponents, preferring the safety of a training dummy. If drawn into actual combat, she strikes only to disarm and subdue. If she ever lashes out to kill it would be out of fear for the lives of those in her care, or for her own safety.

Her personal arsenal has been collected over time from various jobs, missions, gifts, and commissions. The most recent addition being the large gilded sword she now carries often which was gifted to her by her paramour Jameson Taeros. She carries it more as a sentimental item while on duty - it has yet to see actual use, though it is a fully-forged and sharpened blade. Other blades she has kept are a long iron spatha when she needs concealment, a standard issue Brass Blade scimitar, a ceremonial cobalt winglet, and her own commissioned blue-steel winglet which was formerly her primary weapon.

=Healing=
[[File:Cc_hs_croft.png|175px|left]]
<div style="font: 20px Times New Roman, serif; text-indent: 1em; padding: auto; min-height: 300px;">
While it is true that Coatleque has some minor training in Conjuration, she was never very adept at the concept.
She finds it hard to focus, especially in times of stress, which is not a particularly good trait for someone
attempting to heal others. Still, she does know how to heal and even to raise. The former is very taxing on her, while
the latter will leave her exhausted to the point of being momentarily incapacitated.

Her ability to use aether is otherwise unaffected. Her Paladin training has shown that she is able to channel the
required aether through herself as if it were second nature. Defensive spells and offensive sword skills she can
use with ease. Her difficulty stems from when another person is her target.

=Background=
__NOTOC__
[[File:Crofte_pinkdress.jpg|225px|right]]
<div style="font: 20px Times New Roman, serif; text-indent: 1em; padding: auto;">
There was a time when Coatleque was dead-set against speaking of her own background and life before joining the Sultansworn. Even today she is hesitant to share any details with those she does not know. In her line of work, however, she has found there are times when it helps to share certain details to prove she is no better than the criminals she is forced to deal with. People tend to open up slightly when they see each other on common ground.
<hr/>
===Birth and Early Life:===
Coatleque is from a remote fishing village at the Southern tip of Ala'Mhigo, the beaches of Gyr'Abania. Born Florence Fishbane in the year 1557 of the Sixth Astral Era just after the fall of Ala Mhigo, this makes her Garlean by birth alone if not for location. Built on the coast and of little importance, the village eked out a meagre existence far from the city-state itself. She was a typical country girl, the daughter of a fisherman with no special skills or talents. She spent her youth helping her mother cooking, cleaning, and gutting fish for her father. To this day she cannot bear the taste of seafood. When she came of age, her parents began the process of arranging her to be bonded to the miller's son. A quiet life she was honestly looking forward to.

When Dalamund came raining down, a rather large chunk of it fell to the ocean just off the coast of the villiage itself. The resulting tidal wave destroyed the village and swept away a majority of its inhabitants. Those who survived had fled to the old military outpost built into the cliffs just above the shore. Not even a week later, still in mourning, brigands from the mountains came looking to make quick coin off the salvage from the wreckage. Florence watched in horror as her fiancée was killed and cried out which gave away their position. What villagers were left were captured or killed as they tried to flee. She has never forgiven herself for this, which she considers the single greatest mistake of her life.

===Captivity in Ul'dah:===
They were carted off in rags and taken by cover of night to Ul'dah first. The leader of the brigands, Cadmus, was an experienced slaver who knew he could exploit the women and especially Florence for a certain quality she had. She was sold to Dace Korlon, proprietor of the Red Sands - an expensive brothel in one of the less frequented parts of Pearl Lane. There she remained for three long years of forced service as a high-class whore.

She would not have survived her ordeal if not for the kindness of another slave girl, a Miqo'te Seeker called Sapphire due to her deep purple eyes. Sapphire was the longest surviving slave girl at the time and had the Master's favor, being in charge of the other slave girls. She took pity on Florence and often came to her room at night to talk and teach her how to survive. It was Sapphire who gave her the name Coatleque because of her exotic red hair. The purpose being that Florence could pin all the wicked things she had been forced to do on Coatleque, then leave the name behind if the Twelve ever granted her freedom again.

It was Sapphire who taught Coatleque how to read and write, how to speak properly like a lady. How to dress, wear make-up and to look the part. Their clients demanded such from their higher-class girls after all. Sapphire also taught her how to perform simple dances, how to pick locks so they could walk freely at night, and simple tricks of slight-of-hand. The Master expected them to ply their trade to the fullest extent possible, after all, and many a nobleman left with their pockets much lighter than intended.

It was near the end of her imprisonment that Sapphire came to her one night looking very distraught. It seemed she had stolen something from a very influential client. Something she should not have. Despite the Master's insistence that she did well, she feared for her own life and new it was time to leave. Having swiped a key from Dace's room and bribed the guard for the night, she intended to leave and return to her tribe. It was then that she told Coatleque her real name, F'lierre, and the two knew they may never see each other again.

Not one moon after their emotional departure, the Brass Blades descended upon the Red Sands in a false-front raid to 'end slave trafficking'. What Coatleque later found was that F'lierre had stolen a forged signet ring of the house of Ul and the Syndicate was none too happy at its loss. The Blades ransacked the building, set it ablaze, and killed anyone who got in their way. Among the confusion, Coatleque managed to help as many girls as she could escape through the sewers. The next morning many of them saw their first sunrise in years once more as free women.

Her overzealous pursuit of Monetarist corruption has clashed with the goals of the Order on more than one occasion. Coatleque eventually had to confront her over this and Anelia left the Order soon afterwords to pursue her own goals as a Free Paladin. Since then, the woman has only become more relentless and is prone to overstep her authority to cleanse any perceived corruption.

Her constant kindness towards the Coatleque has caused her to take pause on occasion. She considers her a friend now, more than an acquaintance, and would try to keep her at length from the troubles of the city. The words Aya has offered as well as the quiet tea times they share have allowed Coatleque to relax on occasion and take stock of what is truly important to her.

Since their departure, Bartolomeo has been rather aloof. Recently, Ser Filangieri has decided to leave the Order of the Sultansworn over matters of personal honor. Coatleque does not agree with his decision, but holds no ill feelings against him. She has heard no word of him since his departure, but rumor has it he has sworn allegiance to an Ishgardian house.

They deal with each other as needed though often with opposing goals. Brynnalia seems to be motivated only by money in Coatleque's eyes. This is blessing and a curse as Coatleque knows the woman can probably be bought, but perhaps by the wrong person.

Their paths often cross at the hands of others, and typically only when dirty deeds need doing. From what dealings they <i>have</i> had, she is none too impressed with Delial. Anyone with as much bad blood in their history as her is not someone Coatleque is willing to trust so readily.

| colspan="3" style="text-indent: 1em;" | A man of no small renown, Coatleque only knows about him from the rumours and hearsay of others. He has recently returned after some ordeal and is ready to take up his prior mantle as Captain in the Immortal Flames, and as a fellow Sultansworn. She still regards the man with some amount of awe and worries he may ultimately disapprove of her leadership abilities.

| Affiliations: Republic of Ul'dah Executive Committee
| Status: Annoying
|-
| colspan="3" style="text-indent: 1em;" | Dravanian heretic, Ishgardian exile, and self-proclaimed revolutionary. Evangeline has been a thorn in Coatleque's side since she arrived in Ul'dah. Their relationship has been a string of heated debates separated by shite flinging (quite literally once time). In the end, Coatleque's even-temper seems to have won out as Evangeline's strategy has mellowed some. They have even come so far as to be civil in one anothers company.

|-
| colspan="3" style="text-indent: 1em;" | An apparently Ishgardian mercenary who Coatleque first met when she separated his fist from Natalie Mcbeef's face in the Quicksand. She knows next to nothing of the man personally, but after recent events he seems to be much more docile, even civilized. They occasionally trade words in the Quicksand.

| Status: Alive
|-
| colspan="3" style="text-indent: 1em;" | Free Paladin, and member of the Ala'Mhigan resistance. Coatleque met him first through his sister Roen. A rather private person, in her estimation, their paths do not cross often. She is happy to work with him whenever they do, however. Recently they have begun working together to track down and bring Nero Lazarov to justice.

| '''[[Gideon North]]'''
| Affiliations: None
| Status: Alive
|-
| colspan="3" style="text-indent: 1em;" | Jameson's now former valet and butler. Coatleque had the displeasure of reinforcing Jameson's dismissal of the man after recent events. Perhaps not so much a friend, she sees him for what he is and can appreciate him as she is a servant herself. In all her dealings with Taeros, Gideon has unwittingly served as a voice on the side who helped to keep her grounded in who she is as the world crumbled around her.

| '''[[Gus Pumpkinweed|Gus Pumpkinweed]]'''
| Affiliations: The Piquant Pumpkin
| Status: Orange
|-
| colspan="3" style="text-indent: 1em;" | The fast talking owner of the Piquant Pumpkin. Coatleque met him when she chased off a street rat who was harassing his business dealings outside the Quicksand. He was so impressed that he offered her a job providing security. She hesitantly accepted, more so that she can keep herself busy when not on active duty, than for the pay (which she often neglected to collect). Coatleque eventually had to end her employment under Gus as her duties back in the city began to take more and more of her time.

| '''[[Ha'uruh Nunh|Ha'uruh "Howl" Nunh]]'''
| Affiliations: None
| Status: Alive
|-
| colspan="3" style="text-indent: 1em;" | A friend of Ser Warren Castille. Coatleque helped Warren search for him when he mysteriously disappeared into Coerthas while chasing Seimei Ikari. After an unexpected and open conversation behind the Quicksand, Coatleque thought she had some common ground with the man. Unfortunately, certain other events have left her questioning his sense of honour. While she can understand his reasons, she is loathe to condone them. Their current relationship is strained at best.

| '''[[Inessa Hara|Inessa Hara, Ser]]'''
| Affiliations: The Sultansworn, Private Investigator
| Status: Alive
|-
| colspan="3" style="text-indent: 1em;" | A recent and surprising addition to the order. Inessa Hara was a private investigator who setup shop in Ul'dah. After a string of events left her feeling rather impotent in the political spectrum, she decided to persue a career where she would have more leverage to accomplish her goals. Coatleque is unsure what to think of her, feeling that her self-serving motives will eventually clash with the Tennants of the Order and leave them with one less member once again.

|-
| colspan="3" style="text-indent: 1em;" | A prominent and wealthy Monetarist who seems to have sprung up from nowhere within the city-state. The man has his fingers in many nefarious looking plots, though none of them can ever be traced back to him directly. Coatleque was forced to deal with him through her subordinate at the time, Natalie. After Natalie's death, Coatleque took the initiative to try and infiltrate Taeros's business dealings by feinging interest in him for the sake of her friend Roen. What she did not expect is that they would develop feelings for each other. Presently, she has been spending most of her nights at his estate.

| colspan="3" style="text-indent: 1em;" | Coatleque met Jancis in Gridania just after the Knight had left Ul'dah to take up Conjuration. She was at first a fellow student, though already more advanced, and later became a close friend. Coatleque trusted her and eventually they became like sisters. While Coatleque is busy with her duties in Thanalan, Jancis continues to roam Eorzea freely offering help to others. The two still cross paths whenever they can to trade news and stories.

| colspan="3" style="text-indent: 1em;" | Kage was one of the Sultansworn who were under suspension pending an investigation into charges levied after the Nanawa mine incident. He was instrumental in tracking down The Rose and obtaining a redacted statement of Roen's spy allegations. Kage has since left the Order to pursue his own goals. She sometimes sees him in the Quicksand, though they rarely trade words.

|-
| colspan="3" style="text-indent: 1em;" | An Immortal Flame, turned Blade, turned Bloodsworn. Kale has been a rather blunt voice of the Monetarist persuasion in Ul'dah. He and Coatleque share a number of views on how to go about protecting their city, however their opinions differ greatly on the execution of such views.

| colspan="3" style="text-indent: 1em;" | An Immortal Flame and second in command of the Red wings division. Coatleque has worked with him on occasion, most recently when a Garlean terrorist attempted to poison the city state of Ul'dah and assassinate the Sultana. She knows little of the man's personal life, but has great respect for him professionally and will trust his judgement.

| colspan="3" style="text-indent: 1em;" | A Sultansworn in training. Koporo currently serves under Kage Kiryuu. Coatleque sees him as impatient and short-fused. His anger seems to speak before his better judgement when conflict begins to escalate around him. Coatleque has tried lending her hand to Kage's mentoring to try and guide Ser Aporo down a more diplomatic path.

|-
| colspan="3" style="text-indent: 1em;" | A young Miqo'te adventurer not from Ul'dah. She seems to wander the length and breadth of Eorzea and pops-up unexpectedly from time to time. Coatleque first saw her at the Grindstone where she was the first competitor to ever enter (and win) with a bow. While not much older than Leanne, Coatleque feels partly responsible to protect the girl from the seedier parts of the City whenever she is in Thanalan; Even if she does not know her very well personally.

|-
| colspan="3" style="text-indent: 1em;" | Never before was there a more perfect example of comedic tragedy such as Natalie Mcbeef. The Miqo'te was a walking disaster with a good heart who Nymeia conspired against almost daily. While the two of them had begun their relationship in bitter conflict, over the course of their work they had grown to respect each other for the roles they each played in the security of the city-state. Natalie was eventually killed in action during a botched raid on La Noscean soil.

| colspan="3" style="text-indent: 1em;" | A gentleman of fortune from Limsa Lominsa that Coatleque met through her friend Roen Deneith. The Knight has been trying to gather information on him for Roen's sake. She knows they are working together against the Monetarist Jameson Taeros, and would spare Roen being double-crossed by apparent allies yet again. All she knows so far is that he is a well-known and ruthless businessman in the lower city.

| colspan="3" style="text-indent: 1em;" | A fearsome woman whom Coatleque nearly crossed while trying to exonerate Roen from false charges levied against her. Coatleque bargained her own life to this woman to gain her trust in the matter. Trust which was well-placed in the end. Since those happenings, Obsidian Hornet has disappeared from the public eye. It is rumored she has settled down as a rancher in a quiet and remote area of Eorzea.

He takes strong offense to the properness of her speech, becoming quite irate whenever she refers to him as Master, or almost any other title. Coatleque knows he serves the Maelstrom as Captain and that he seems to fancy her friend Jancis. Though her own lack of free time does not afford much opportunity for meddling.

Since then, Ser Melkire has been held under duress by a madman. He was complicit to multiple attacks against Ul'dah. While Coatleque understands the man's reasoning, she cannot condone his actions. For her part, she will let the Immortal Flames handle justice of their own.

She helped him resolve an issue regarding some stolen pants, and in return he made her an exquisite white dress which she wears now whenever possible. Regardless of how others see his doting upon her at times, she considers the eccentric artisan to be a friend.

|-
| colspan="3" style="text-indent: 1em;" | One of three Sultansworn whom Coatleque helped to exonerate. During Roen's imprisonment, Coatleque was her personal gaoler and attended her every morning and evening. Coatleque would speak with her often at night, first to try and distract the woman from her troubles, but then later out of her own curiosity as the two grew closer. Out of this a friendship has blossomed. Coatleque would stand with her new shield sister against whatever threatens her on the horizon.

| Affiliations: The Sultansworn
| Status: On Leave
|-
| colspan="3" style="text-indent: 1em;" | A recent initiate into the Order of Sultansworn, Roysia is rather independent and headstrong. Coatleque finds she must follow up on tasks that Roysia has been assigned not to make sure they were completed, but to make sure there is no political fallout. Her mouth may get the better of her in the end.
----

|-
| colspan="3" style="text-indent: 1em;" | Smuggler and Ala Mhigan resistance member. Coatleque first met this woman while working to prove Roen's innocence of her false charges of spying.

| colspan="3" style="text-indent: 1em;" | A self proclaimed master thief and Free Paladin, Coatleque doesn't know what to believe about S'Honji.

| colspan="3" style="text-indent: 1em;" | A Miqo'te woman whom was previously set to wed Ser Warren Castille. For unknown reasons, the two had parted long ago. Coatleque helped Warren search Coerthas for her when she disappeared suddenly. Since then she has come back into Warren's life and the two have been competing for his affections. Warren chose his former love in the end. Coatleque does not trust her intentions and believes she will only hurt Warren again.

| colspan="3" style="text-indent: 1em;" | The scathingly angry reporter for the Tonberry's Lantern paper that is circulated across Eorzea. Miss Llorn never shies away from speaking her mind in and out of the papers. She has blasted both Jameson, and Crofte alike. For these reasons Coatleque avoids talking in her presence as much as possible. Still, there are occasions where the girl can sometimes come across as being almost friendly.

|-
| colspan="3" style="text-indent: 1em;" | A strong, stoic Elezen whom Coatleque met while assisting the Harbingers. Coatleque quickly found herself drawn to the woman's confident attitude. Their relationship had a few quick ups and downs, but with Coatleque's promotion her work has conspired to keep the two apart. They remain good friends however, and the Knight still looks up to the older woman's mothering influence in her life.
----
|-
| '''[[Val Nunh|Val Nunh]]'''

| Status: Alive
|-
| colspan="3" style="text-indent: 1em;" | Not so much a friend as an acquaintance. Coatleque knows next to nothing about him, save what she unfortunately has to overhear when in the same room.

|-
| colspan="3" style="text-indent: 1em;" | A rather enigmatic Miqo'te - Coatleque met Vali at her first orientation for the Piquant Pumpkin. Since then she's learned they share some common ground through past acquaintances. Coatleque doesn't know what to make of the girl yet, but she always seems to be around wherever Coatleque goes. She has recently shared that a large bounty has been placed on her head by the Empire. Until this is removed, she will be away from Ul'dah in hiding.

|-
| colspan="3" style="text-indent: 1em;" | One of the few honest merchants in Ul'dah. The man excels at selling low quality merchandise at overly affordable prices. In fact, most of his goods he practically gives away. Coatleque has yet to buy anything from him, but still keeps the 'plot device' he gave her just in case she has need for instant smoke in the middle of the desert. Having read his personal memoirs, she has a certain insight to the man that others may not have.

| colspan="3" style="text-indent: 1em;" | Often found in the Quicksand in past times. They were quickly drawn to each other and shared an intimate, though brief relationship. It ended when he left her to once again pursue his former love who had left him before. Coatleque has never quite gotten over his reasons, but understands them to the best of her abilities. The air around them has been tense since then, as former lovers tend to be.

[[Gideon North]]:<br/>
"I had at first presumed her to be a woman bound by duty, and of rigid adherence to code. It would be more accurate, I believe, to say that Miss Crofte will hesitate at... very little... to achieve her own ends. One might, however, see that as more respectable than the former."

"Were we friends? Aye. Shield-sister? Aye. Now? ...Nay."

{{Character-stub}}

==Character==
===General===
Spahro is a trouble maker, and she always has been. never content anywhere, she's prone to wandering. Recently she's taken up residence in Ul'Dah as a reporter for ''Tonberry's Lantern''. She'd gained some notoriety as a scandal reporter, often being accused of turning the prestigious ''Lantern'' into nothing more than a cheap tabloid, but no one can argue that she moves paper. Sales are the highest they've been in years with her on the front page.

===Appearance===
Spahro is of slightly below average height for a Miqo'te with dark grey skin and coal black hair. She dresses very well for someone of such a meager income, and can usually be spotted in any crowd by the colorful outfits she chooses. She has a scar over her right eye, though its origin changes with each telling of its story, and she keeps her face painted with the ritual hunting paint of her hereditary tribe, despite seeming to keep to none of their other traditions and not actually being a hunter.

===Personality===
Spahro's personality is a verb rather than a noun. She tends to hit people over the head with it until they're dazed into passivity or driven away. She tends towards the abrasive, punctuating most sentences with either sarcasm or accusations depending on whether or not she's doing her job and how seriously she's taking it at the time.
==Combat==
Spahro actually has some combat training, but is no soldier. She prefers the pen over the sword any day, though she's capable of defending herself against local wildlife and common urban dangers effectively.

==Roleplay Hooks==
===You May Have Heard of Spahro If...===
::* You're familiar with Costa del Sol's vibrant social scene.
::* You're famous and hope she never talks to you.
::* You're literate and enjoy gossip.
::* You're literate and HATE gossip.
::* You try to keep up with current events.

===Spahro May Have Heard of You If...===
::* You're famous.
::* You're a writer.
::* You're unlucky.

===RUMORS===
:* "I hear she writes for the Lantern, and she seems to have every qualification: she can squabble and sneak out on a tip like a pro!" -[[Aya Foxheart]]

:* "You did not hear this from me, mind you, but I hear she loves to be complimented on her ample chest." -[[Coatleque Crofte|Red-headed Sultansworn]]

:* "I've heard that she makes up half of her stories, just to sell the papers." - [[ A Highlander woman with short black hair ]]

:* "The fact that I believed her to be a caring person once upon a time ago, only goes to show the extent of my naivete and foolishness. I know better now." - [[Roen Deneith]]

:* "She said she caught the Pox from an Ishgardian Dragoon. Worst case the Alchemist Guild has seen in years. I would say she needs to be more careful with her lovers. She also has no idea what storks are for." - [[Alexaria Whiteraven]]

:* "It is sometimes hard to remember there is a person beneath the garbage she continuously vomits. Typically hardest at the end of the week when the latest Lantern is printed." - [[Coatleque Crofte]]

:* "She is the Eyes and Ears of the people, like a true journalist. At least when she's not writing up scandals for the masses to consume. I don't hold it against her though, we all have to eat." - [[Evangeline Primrose]]

:* "If nothin' else, she makes the Lantern worth a laugh." - [[Osric Melkire]]

"Mayhaps it would benefit Ser Orrin to remain in armor when attending these events, You'd almost forget that he was a Hyur."

''— Ser Sombrequain Hanrieaux, at the Ishgardian Summit and Banquet''

[[File:Ishgard.png|200px|thumb|left]]

Orrin possesses the physique typical of that of a Dragoon, lithe, muscular and athletic. his eyes are a steely ice-blue-grey that tend to be intimidating and intense.He has no scars, visible or otherwise on skin that reflects the now sun-bereft Coerthan highlands.

His facial features possess a degree of Elezen-like elegance betrayed only by a particularly strong Hyuran chin and nose. He grows his hair long, letting a bang drape over his face as if to hide it. However it is properly maintained and seemingly incapable of getting mussed up even when crammed into his helmet. Some of the more gossip-prone ladies of the Ishgardian court say he grows it long to hide his ears out of shame.

Orrin rarely strides into combat without his Drachen Mail and Dragoon Lance that represent his office as Dragoon. Though after his armor and weapon were all but destroyed in the battle against Vishap, he was given a slightly modified replacement set, the armor was bluish rather than the traditional purple and the helm possessed a runic glow akin to the statues that warded the Steps of Faith. It commemorated his participation and survival in that fight.

''"House Halgren is an Elezen House, yes."''
''— Ser Orrin Halgren, for the nth time''

((Minor disclaimer, in light of recent events in the Heavensward expansion, the nickname given to Orrin was formulated before the expansion, before any mention of "the Mongrel" even existing))

House Halgren is a minor house within Ishgardian nobility, name supposedly tying back to old Elezen akin to the likes of Haldrath and Thordan, founding fathers of Ishgard. Existing from the beginning, the house enjoyed a strong, secure place within the walls of the city, playing a bigger role in politics than in the war. However, during a particularly vicious period of extended Dravanian assualts, House Halgren suffered greatly, leaving a singular successor to the name: Charloix Halgren, an Inquisitor. After the dust had settled, Charloix quickly took a wife, Reillette, a cannoneer he had fallen in love with during a siege by the Dravanian Horde. Some believed that Charloix consorting with a commoner spelled the demise of the House.

It seemed to be true, for after years of trying, they had failed to produce an heir. Talks of the end of one of the first houses of Ishgard began to circulate, whispers of succession and the like abounded. However one day, Charloix was charged with investigating the burnt down remains of a fallen settlement, to verify whether it was a dragon attack or the work of heretics. He heard a cry and within the wreckage of one house was a Hyuran baby swaddled and seemingly untouched. The settlement was so truly destroyed that book-keeping for the lost was nigh impossible and the child was left without name or relatives. Uncharacteristically for an Inquisitor, and perhaps spying an opportunity, he took pity for the child and made him as his own, dubbing him Orrin. He and Reillette raised the child happily, rearing him to be successor to the Halgren House, he was taught court etiquette and was formerly schooled from a young age. Orrin found little love elsewhere; teased by the other children while almost entirely ignored by the more fundamental members of the high courts of Ishgard. He became known as "The Mutt" due to his coat of arms and the rumors that he was possibly the illegitimate child between Charloix and one of the Hyruan house servants. In truth, it was more complimentary than other tales of him being a Dravanian in glamor. Orrin swore to prove them wrong by being a worthy successor to the Halgren name.

However, on the tail-end of his 8th summer, his mother became pregnant and it would not be until his "brother" was born that Orrin realized what it would mean. His parents were of course ecstatic when their healthy Elezen boy was born. Though his parents still loved him, they became more distant as they redoubled their efforts to raise Rodiath as their "real" successor. He came to the revelation that he would no longer bear the burden of carrying on the family name, and so sought ways to not only regain favor with his parents but also acceptance within Ishgard. It would also be that year that Nidhogg returned to raze Coerthas. Naturally Charloix was called to perform his duty of weeding out heretics and dissenters spawned by the dragon's terrible influence. This left Reillette to care for Orrin who had come down with a fever that seemed almost induced by the great dragon's appearance. It was then in one fever dream that he saw a vision, a woman's voice that promised him greatness and to be savior of Ishgard should he choose it. He awoke and he set his eyes upon becoming a dragoon, recognized by the Holy See; no, he would become Azure Dragoon. After Ser Alberic turned away Nidhogg and the dust settled, Orrin approached his father who had returned from his duties and fielded his request. Charloix encouraged Orrin to aspire for such heights, even spurring him on by the tales of Alberic having injured himself in the most recent fight; Ishgard would need a strong successor.

Orrin poured himself heart and soul into the arts, finding mentors within House Fortemps. His training brought him outside of the walls of the Holy City and it was there he found the Ishgard he wished to protect and serve. He quickly took to the lance as if fueled by the Fury herself, rising through the ranks quickly until he finally saw frontline combat against the horde. His unit was tasked to Aevis and Dragonflys but a full-size dragon broke past the lines and bore down upon him and his group. His squad commander was promptly immolated and the others were quickly routed. He put his first dragon to the spear in that fight, lopping off a talon before his weapon was shattered to splinters. It was then he took the severed talon in hand and gouged the fearsome beast through the eye to kill it. He survived that day and definitely thought the parallels of his kill to that of the legendary Haldrath was a sign of his fate to be the Azure Dragoon. Unfortunately, it would not come to pass for Ser Alberic had already taken in Estinien as his pupil years back and trained him personally. The title of Azure Dragoon belonged to the Elezen long before Orrin even had an inkling to be a Dragoon. Admittedly crushed, still he continued his training, becoming deadly competent, earning begrudging respect from the other highborne. it was only with Lord Fortemps repeated petitioning that Orrin was eventually recognized as a Dragoon of the Holy See; his own armor crafted and weapon forged for him and given station at Dragonhead.

He grew up handsomely as well. That, combined with the esteemed station as dragoon, he saw the hearts of some of the ladies from other houses thaw. However, they would never openly admit it. Regardless, it gave him the courage to approach the girl who was kindest to him as a child: Lady Millette Chirardien who returned the feeling. Orrin would not, for the sake of her honor, allow their relationship to become public. Further still, Orrin would come to witness Millette seduced by the bewitching words of the Dravanian Horde and see her align with the heretics. How her death came to pass was unknown to the public, but Orrin personally sought her out and ended her life.

The Calamity soon struck afterwards and when Coerthas was plunged into its seemingly eternal winter Orrin tossed himself at the horde as if to re-summon Nidhogg to battle by sheer body-count alone. His anger tempered only upon hearing of the supposed summoning of Shiva in primal form. But when Ishgard cowered impotently, unable to protect itself, sending outsiders and sellswords to do the job of its own men, Orrin's anger flared once more. What had happened to the country of valor and power he once knew? House Fortemps had always been accepting of outsiders and yet now it seemed they depended on them, cripplingly so. Ishgard hobbled where it once strode so proudly. What could the outsiders possess that so far outstripped the blood and strength of its own men? Was his own title as dragoon a concession for the lack of more capable and fitting men and women of old? Orrin would get leave by House Fortemps to explore the world outside of the highlands, leaving behind his own armor as he did so, believing it wrongly given. He would find the strength, the true and proper strength worthy of the Ishgard he believed in.

By fire, you shall quench it with dragon's blood, by fang you will make their mouths bleed, by claw, you will ensure it will not take a single step without remembering that it had to cripple itself to kill ''you''. Wear the armor proudly, Dragoon." ''

-Departure-

Orrin left Camp Dragonhead under leave of House Fortemps, he had left behind his Dragoon armor and weapon, feeling that it was wrongfully given to him. He set out to relearn and re-earn the ways of the Dragoon while seeking out the adventurer or whatever matched the drawings on one particular scroll from the Observatorium. The scroll spoke of places in Eorzea, rich in Aether, so closely tied to the other world that it was possible to speak to the twelve directly. Surely, if he could find a place, present himself as a disciple of Halone, The Fury would grant him audience and aid him. His first stop was Gridania, under the guise of an adventurer he trained under Ywain with the Wood Wailers at the Lancer's guild, seeking what nuances they brought to the art that Ishgard lacked. They trained quite similarly, value on keeping one's head in the most insurmountable of odds, a steely resolve even when out maneuvered and outmatched, unflappable to any threat. These were things Orrin already knew but to relearn them in a place without the constant threat of Dragons only confirmed to him that, at least as a soldier of the lance, Orrin was correct in his teachings and discipline. While in training he heard tales of a place that worshiped The Twelve, an ancient place called the Sanctum in the East Shroud. He headed there and on the way met Avaline Starsong, a Miqo'te, together they reached the sanctum and found that yes, the marking seemed to match, though the last symbol to confirm as much hid behind large sealed doors. He would part ways with Avaline there, though he found no sign of the Adventurer who stole the title of Azure Dragoon he had found a lead.

-Of Sealed Doors and Fates-

In Gridania, he could find little info about the Sanctum aside from how old and mysterious it was. He decided it'd be best to go to Ul'Dah, He had heard that rumors about all over seem to find the most traction there. He made way to the Quicksands and began to camp one of the many tables all the while keeping ears out for anything of his interest as he poured over the tomes he had brought with him. He'd meet a number of people, all contributing additional leads for what he sought, be it the adventurer or a way to open the doors. A person of particular note caught his eyes, an Ayleth Cowell who looked to him as if barely old enough to be out on her own. She'd disappear a few days. He would then find that the woman had been kidnapped by Amal'jaa and brought to the bowl of embers along with a small contingent of Brass Blades....Miraculously she returned unscathed and Orrin took considerable interest in this development, for if a woman could survive being tempered maybe there would be a way to immunize the soldiers of Ishgard against the twisting, bewitching words of Dragons.

He searched for wards at first, ways to aetherically interfere with Primals and then hoped to extend that to dragons. He came across Jolynn Zeles who posessed a book about warding off voidsent, though not necessarily Primals, mayhaps there would be similar applications. It would result in little but would bring him across the continent, from the Burning Wall to the corrupted lighthouse of Pharos Sirius. It would be on return from Pharos that he would make a stop in Eastern La Noscea on word of ancient temples reclaimed by the jungle hiding markings similar to the one on his scroll. It was there he was beset upon by a Dragon. He killed it and made it away with his life, though none closer to his goals. However, he saw it as a sign, Halone had sent a dragon to him to test his resolve and by killing it he deemed himself worthy once more to wear his armor. Of course that would mean returning to Coerthas.

He returned with little complication, reclaiming his Gae Bolg and Drachen Mail, it seemed the situation had only worsened for the city state and as such felt compelled to linger, He retook his station in Coerthas and served for several moons, slaying the horde with new found conviction and fervor. It would be there that he would meet an Adventurer, one who claimed to had also survived an encounter with a primal, attributing it to something called the echo. Though he knew little, what symptoms he exhibited did match that of Ayleth's, with a word to describe her immunity, he found greater ease in researching the subject.

-A door closes, another opens-

Much to his disappointment however, the Echo did not appear to be something that could be reproduced however, he was not entirely disheartened, there was still the adventurer out there, also, there was still the door that required to be open. He had set out back into Eorzea, with his weapon and armor in hand. Ready to move as an agent of Halone

-Obscure Geometry-

Orrin had come across talks in the Quicksands of a palace that had resurfaced from the Calamity draining the waters of Bronze Lake. An entire temple built by the people of Nym, dedicated to Oschon the Wanderer. A place of such extensive worship by such an advanced culture, Orrin reasoned, would be built on an aetherial fount of some sort. To confirm, he contracted the goldsmiths guild for an Aetherial detector, as that was being built he went to Limsa Lominsa, perusing the expansive library of the Arcanist guild for anything he could get about Nym and the works of channeling Aether through geometries. It was through these studies he noted similarities between the runes in the tomes of Arcanists to summon forth their avatars and that of the temple's layout. Were he correct, the temple was a giant rune, built with aether conducting materials meant to guide the wealth of aether into the center of the palace. Such power would, in theory, make a layman such as Orrin be capable of communing with the other plane. Though the architectural blueprints he had were from the time of Nym's heyday and the palace had been submerged for many cycles, the only way to see if his conclusions held any truth would be to work his way into the Palace center himself.

Returning to Ul'dah, he took the detector with him and made his way back to Vylbrand, to Bronze Lake. There it was, the looming palace right in the middle. With some ample gil he convinced the ferryman to take him to it. He pushed into the ruins and soon found himself overwhelmed, forced to retreat, he would need help. Enlisting the aid of adventurers, a history obsessive arcanist, a marauder and an archer he ventured back into the palace, taking aetherial readings along the way. Though the ruins were in ill repair, he found that his hypothesis to be true, aether congregated in increasing intensities the further in they ventured. Upon reaching the center he knelt in prayer. The room lit up with sparks and aetherial condensation before suddenly, Orrin was struck down and the lights died around them.

Catatonic to the outside world, he saw visions of ancient Nym, watched the horrific transformation of its citizenry to Tonberries and was given 3 haunting words: "Hear, Feel, Think". Orrin would soon be jostled out of the vision before he could glean any more by the arcanist's physicking. Drained, haunted by his visions they cut their way out of the palace.

He summarily paid the adventurers, the marauder, perhaps too mercenary for her own good, departed with nary a care for what had transpired, same with the archer. The arcanist lingered and prodded with questions, Orrin spoke of the visions and the words but the arcanist knew not of their meaning. They split ways and Orrin returned to Ul'dah.

-Echoes in the Cathedral-

Upon his return he heard the town was alight with news that the Sanctum of The Twelve had finally been restored for the sake of Eternal Bonding ceremonies. Though not his intended method, he now finally found means of ingress to the ancient cathedral. Much to his chagrin though, despite the markings matching the observatorium scroll to its finest detail, the "restoration" utterly ruined the aetherial conductivity of the building. The sanctum was a nexus for the Gods no more. He decided to rest in the Carline Canopy before departing back to Ul'dah, there, upon nearing a woman he fell unconscious and saw the battle of Cartenau, the selfsame woman fighting there, her name, her past all crystallized in an instant. When he came to he was sitting on one of the stools, facing the woman. He called to her by name and profession and it elicited her to reveal to him that he posesssed the echo, a conclusion he had not thought of for those who he met before with it only spoke of their resistance to tempering. He needed more confirmation. Barring fighting a primal one to one, the woman spoke of the ability to purify corrupted crystals was common for those with the echo. He thanked the woman and was off to find such crystals.

He raided Natalan under guise of plain armor and weapon to not alert the Ixali of his Ishgardian origin, cutting past the guards to the aetheryte. He retrieved his quarry and sequestered himself in his private chambers in Dragonhead. He indeed had the gift. The realization floored him and he began to wonder if what he had was the real reason he was so capable those years past, that his own strength paled in comparison to the gift. Was his steadfast devotion stemming from the echo? Was he incorruptible, even to Dravanian influence? Did it make his feelings all the more correct and not just the fearful feeling in the back of his head that he was on the path to heresy?

It was not only till he heard tales and rumors that Lady Iceheart too held the echo that he concluded that though one could have the gift, one was not incorruptible entirely. He at least preferred that to the possibility that Dravania was in the right. Galvanized once more he set out for more answers.

Evangeline Primrose

2015-08-07T09:01:33Z

Jana: /* PC Rumors */

{{Infobox-character
| name =
| image =Ffxiv 05022015 185846.png
| imagewidth = 350
| gender = Female
| citizenship = Ishgard (Exile)
| race = Elezen
| clan = High Ishgardian}}

== Character ==

=== General ===

The impetuous and naïve daughter of an Ishgardian High House, Evangeline lost her inheritance, title, and nearly her life, when she began dabbling in heretical activities. Finding herself exiled, she settled in Ul'dah, where she is gradually learning how the reality of life, politics, and love differs from what she has read in her books

=== Appearance ===

Evangeline is a fair skinned Ishgardian Elezen, with sharp and inquisitive features. She is short for an Elezen, barely making 6 fulms in height. She possesses eyes of dark violet, and long, wavy hair, which she is in the habit of dyeing. When she arrived in Ul'dah she preferred formal dress, skirts and jackets. However as time passes on she has adapted to her new home, and can be usually found in robes, trousers and short skirts, all the better to beat the desert heat. Her eyes are terrible, and she is rarely seen without a pair of glasses. In fact, so terrible is her vision, she typically carries multiple pairs as spares.

=== Behavior ===

Evangeline is brash, foolhardy, passionate, and deeply compassionate towards the plights of the less fortunate. Though she comes from a powerful family in Ishgard, her views are anything but traditional, and she will take every opportunity to argue them. She is quick to make friends, and even quicker to trust them. Evangeline is quick to anger as well, but must slights are forgotten soon afterwards, her mind too active to dwell on animosity for long.

== Combat ==

Like every son and daughter of Ishgard, Evangeline was taught the sword, lance and axe, so she might defend her home. However while she is a middling swordswoman, her great passion has always been science and technology. Rather than use what she uses as crude implements of butchery, Evangeline uses grenades, potions, firearms, and other items in order to defender herself.

Those who face the woman generally find themselves choking on smoke and blinded by Flashbangs, as she unloads her contraptions. However without her supplies she is almost helpless, and as such guards them jealously. It is very rare to see Evangeline without her typical satchel, bulging with grenades and gadgets.

== Tendencies ==

=== Likes ===

::*Alchemy
::*History, Politics, and Economics
::*Grenades, Flashbangs, Firearms, and anything that explodes
::*Clever Men and Women

==General==

'''Leanne Delphium''' (25th Sun 6th Umbral Moon) is a city born miqo'te whose birthplace is Gridania. An adventurous, ever free spirited girl, the seeker was one to go against the current of Gridania's peaceful culture, for her soul burned with dreams and wishes of traveling. By the age of 17, the brave and courageous miqo'te said goodbye to her parents and the relative safety of her home to start the life of adventure she so much sought after. Now she is 19, and wiser than ever before, for the 2 years of adventuring were a strict, stern but efficient teacher.

"''Forever walking forward, to the ever distant horizon."'' - Leanne Delphium

===Appearance===

: A strikingly beautiful young woman, Leanne's owner of bright golden eyes and cheerful, sweet features, but is also slightly shorter than most individuals, a difference that becomes frustratingly apparent to her when besides one too many elezen or roegadyn. Her style of clothes once consisted of the easy and practical, but as time went by, she began to gravitate towards more elaborate and unique garbs. The most remarkable trait of her appearance is the constant presence of a hat adorning her head. Such is one of the major attributes of Leanne, to the point most of her friends cannot help but raise a brow if they see the seeker without a headwear.

===Behavior===

: Very cheerful with a tendency to be sweet, Leanne is very quick to trust and even quicker to befriend, willingly partaking in several, different culture and customs while being at the same time happy to share knowledge of her own. Her adventures throughout Eorzea and beyond gave her memories she fondly carries to this day, granting broad knowledge of several subjects while also making her wise beyond her years. Occasionally she passes off as a naive girl, despite the fact that she can be very sharp. Least but no less important, the girl can be very mischievous, not being over pulling pranks and jokes, although not liking it when on the receiving end of one.

==Combat==
===General/Physical===

: While a children, her "mascot" status between some of the Quivers and Wailers gave her access to a variety of weapons, but her true call is within a bow. Showing remarkable marksmanship with the weapon, her strength extends to any assortment of ranged weaponry, from guns to throwing knives, anything that is viable as a projectile. She also has an insightful knowledge of pugilism and an acute prowess with daggers, although not as impressive as her sharpshooting.

===Magic===

: Being a Bard, her use of aether ranges from basic (regular weak spells) to heavily specialized (manipulation of the aether and one’s emotions with songs and melodies).

===Family===

Leanne deeply loves her family, from her dutiful father, to her sweet and helping mother, and of course, her mischievous and equally carefree little brother.

:: '''C'thara Delphium''': Once a huntress from the Coeurl Tribe, now a sweet mother who tends for her children. Being similar to her daughter in more ways than just appearance, Thara’s her major source of counseling, helping Leanne with anything, be from physical wounds to internal struggles. Initially against having Leanne traveling, she fills herself with proud at each achievement she hears from her seeker.

:: '''C'kahn Delphium''': Former tia of the Coeurl Tribe, nowadays carpenter and leatherworker in Gridania. A kind soul thought by everyone to be weak and frail, belying his sense of duty and unbreakable determination. Kahn leaves Leanne's mentoring mostly to C'thara, but is not shy from helping his daughter whenever the need arises. The more doting parent, he was the one who gave to Leanne her chocobo and her journal.

:: '''Elliot Delphium''': Leanne's younger brother, a very mischievous and carefree kid, who sees Leanne as an icon to follow and idolize. Currently practicing spear fighting, he aims to reach Leanne and someday surpass her.

:: '''Kyrin''': Leanne's loyal dog, also known as the Little Bandit. Fearless and always happy, he is a constant source of happiness and trouble for Leanne, his love for bones surpassing the common knowledge that you do not try stealing them from crypts and reanimated skeletons. Despite such, he is the de-facto "leader" from the "posse" of pets that Leanne have.

'''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/>
<section begin=featured-blurb />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.<section end=featured-blurb />
<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>
: </ul>

====<div style="padding:0px 0px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Strengths</div>====
: <ul>
: <li>Energetic and positive, always eager to go out and make things better.</li>
: <li>Always willing to lend a hand, which often leads to him doing all sorts of tasks and errands.</li>
: <li>A loyal, if oddball, friend who will always try to be there for them.</li>
: <li>Surprisingly knowledgeable about armor and weapon materials, and knows his way around a smith's hammer.</li>
: </ul>

====<div style="padding:0px 0px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Weaknesses</div>====
: <ul>
: <li>Terrible decision-maker, used to family making the big decisions and cleaning up his messes.</li>
: <li>His friendliness and willingness to help also makes him easily fleeced and taken advantage of.</li>
: <li>A bit of a crybaby, and can shut down if things go south for him.</li>
: <li>While he's been learning how to use sword and shield to protect people, he hasn't learned some of the <i>other</i> necessary points to help people, leading him to a couple "round peg, square hole" situations.</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.

: 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;">Present</div>====
=====<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 believed that he wasn't favoring Meli over anyone else he cares about, and would certainly rather guide 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 soft-spoken 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 - which raised concerns in the little Doman until the situation with Virara was resolved through a heartfelt discussion in Meli's room. So, it should come as no surprise that - after an altercation with a spirit resulted in the stealing of the pink-haired popoto's face - he would do all he could to help her, even if it meant suffering such strange events as getting his mouth wired shut after failing the ghost's riddles. However, be it due to this strange, confidence-crushing situation she found herself in - or perhaps just a bit of that devil-may-care whimsy that attracted him to her in the first place - Meli seemed to heel-turn on her prior desire for staying together and broke off the relationship with the little green-haired Lalafell, claiming lost interest and a desire not to be tied down given her situation.
: <br/>
: It had been Chachanji who had broken up with Yukumazi in his first ever relationship, so he had only seen the fallout from the side of the instigator. Being on the receiving end was... less than pleasant for the little Lalafell, and it took a bit of quiet introspection in front of the forge to come to grips with it. However, Meli had at least stated that she still wanted to remain friends, so he was able to take some comfort in that, along with an enigmatic hinting that he was free to keep "fighting" for her if he so wished. And yet, he still worries about imposing on that free spirit of hers he enjoys so much, and certainly does not wish to tread the same path Koporo did when she broke up with ''him''. Which left him at an impasse.
: <br/>
: He certainly wanted to stay friends, to maintain the odd little trio they had developed along with Virara. Yet bits of confusion and sadness about the sudden event made doing so difficult. Jancis' "Meli Day" only exacerbated such feelings and, to avoid going down the same route as Koporo, the little Lalafell decided to heed the words of newly joined Coralite [[Lilithium Rinannis]] and spend some time away from Coralhaus. He returned to his family up in Revenant's Toll, and was immediately put to work by his father - though he still found plenty of opportunities to sneak away and help with (and ultimately be a part of the resolution of) Meli's missing face.

=====<div style="padding:0px 0px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">''Wake Me Up Before You Gogon''</div>=====
: Amongst matters of face-stealing spirits, stealthy attackers after Virara to get at her Master, and the fallout from the whole cultist situation where Jancis was initally kidnapped, a more personal matter arose once more amongst all the others. Perhaps by chance or a fate spun by Nymeia's wheel, Chachan's "adopted sister" Leanne happened across Chachanji's missing older brother at the Bobbing Cork in Fallgourd Float. And it was not a pleasant meeting.
: <br/>
: A conversation turned into an altercation upon the arrival of [[Annunu Nunu]] that resulted in a shattered linkshell, a temporarily paralyzed hand, and a disturbing bit of information. For some reason or another, Gogonji believes his brother and his family to be ''dead'' and sees Garlean threats on all sides. Are they real or are they merely figments of a paranoid mind? After all, he accused Leanne herself - a rather notable bard and adventurer in her own right - of being little more than a Garlean spy before escaping into the night, his retreat covered by Annunu.
: <br/>
: It could only be fate, then, that Chachan himself would stumble across his brother during his stay at the Toll. A shout and the briefest of chases led to a conflict that left the little Lalafell reeling - in more ways than one. His brother refused to recognize him, even going so far as to accuse him of being a Garlean spy and attacking him! This left little Chachan burned, injured, and with little to go on regarding his brother's mind beyond a map riddled with shorthand notes.
: <br/>
: It was his friends that rose to his aid in the matter. From his fellow Coralites coming at his father's behest to tend to the injured boy, to deciphering the notes and the meaning behind the map, to over a dozen of them turning up to stop the crazed plan of his brother to reignite the simmering flame of war between the Eorzean Alliance and Garlemald. Together, they chased after the commanders of Khamja - his brother's organization of revenge-hungry Eorzeans and Domans - and captured them before they could cause too much damage. And, together, they delved into Castrum Centri to stop Gogonji from trying to sneak into Garlemald itself and murder their newly-crowned Emperor in the name of revenge.
: <br/>
: What awaited them was not just a revenge-stricken Doman and the doll-faced Lalafell who remained steadfast at his side, but a tale of loneliness and desperation. Annunu was defeated and she retreated to the final confrontation, where they all witnessed the depths of Gogonji's madness - wrought from the spirits of the Soul Crystals he had collected and technologically forced to obey him. Together, Chachan and his friends overcame the might of ten ancient heroes manifested in one Lalafellan form... and Gogonji was left unconscious after a brief moment of mental clarity.
: <br/>
: The following days were worrisome for Chachanji - and not just from fretting over his brother's long slumber in the Free Company's Medical Ward. A fledgling primal lodged in Memeli was spurred to life - possibly incited by Gogon's actions - and overtook the pink-haired Lalafell. So, while the elder Gegenji was recovering, the younger was caught dealing with a False Phoenix that ultimately left Meli in a coma upon its first defeat, and another Coralite badly injured after hopping host and being subsequently laid low again. During this time, Gogonji regained some degree of awareness and mobility, and Chachanji found himself laden with new questions.

=====<div style="padding:0px 0px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">''Stop, Hammer Time''</div>=====
: In the battles with the False Phoenix, Chachanji was forced to come to a realization about himself. As much as he wanted to be a hero and protect others - he was not without his many, many flaws in that regard. The most obvious was his combat prowess - which was wrought solely from moons of training with Ser Warren, and not from any sort of natural talent as clearly displayed in his numerous Grindstone attempts. Secondly, and possibly more pressing, was his lack of any sort of "killer instinct" like what Virara possessed; when faced with situations where someone might die, he froze up in stutters and inactivity. All he had was his stubborn desire to help and - perhaps the only real concrete thing he could bring to the table - the weapons and armor he crafted.
: <br/>
: And it was the latter which had barely managed to squeak by with. While the Primal's weakened essence had been captured in a rod of his make, his armor had been torn to ribbons under its fiery talons during the final battle. If all he had was the things he could make, what good was he if they failed to meet the requirements? Such worries forced his attentions back to his profession, seeking to improve his skill at the smithy. Days of study and practice turned to frustration and mulling over fruit juice as he hit a plateau.
: <br/>
: Things seemed to come full circle, with aid coming from Virara as he had aided her back when they first met. She too had seemed to have hit a wall in her own martial training, and sought the lands beyond Ishgard for a fresh outlook. At first hesitant and worried, little Chachan was eventually turned to the idea and possibly using the purple-haired Plainsfolk's training as a way to hone his own skills as well. Now he seeks to call in a promised favor by the Lady of the Red Wings - [[Cliodhna Eoghan]] - to provide the stymied Lalafell the wings to reach these foreign lands...

: <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:#9EC60B;" 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. While their sudden relationship seems to have ended just as abruptly as it began, he still cares for her - even if it's just as a friend.
: <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> [[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> [[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. He gave her that shin-kicking her promised her, but further lack of interaction since has left little time for their relationship to mend.
: <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.

::* "She's an alright friend if you have her, but she'll ditch you. Lacks the commitment to do otherwise." - [[ Chokho Viqqoh]]

An elder Roegadyn with all the warmth of a cannonball, Hammersmith is an immense Hellsguard who's come out of "retirement" at the behest of someone blowing up large portions of the continent including, but not limited to: Where he was trying to retire to.

Never known for being cheery he's even less such now, having been forced to pick his weapons up again and return to a life already well traveled.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Appearance & Personality</div>===

: Hammersmith is very, very large, even for a Roegadyn. His build is a working man's build. The kind you get when you've never been allowed, or allowed yourself, an extended rest from toil and obligation. His body is absolutely covered in scars, the most notable being the ones crossing his left eye and the dead orb inside it. His age is hard to determine. Without the protective sheath of armor or cloth, the extent of the large roe's scarring becomes even more apparent. Most of his body is a merged length of burn scars, badly healed blade marks, and several akward craters of keloid flesh peppered throughout. He could be anywhere from a very haggard 50 to a very well maintained and pissed off 70. Hammersmith is, above all, a testimony that spite can serve as a preservative.

: Hammersmith is well spoken, assuming you catch him without a bottle in his mouth. Given that this is a rare event, most times he speaks with the accent of his childhood village, which makes the torrent of filth, philosophy, and temptation all the harder to understand.

: Hammersmith is slow to actual anger but quick to annoyance and even quicker to act on that annoyance. People who aren't well acquainted with the giant Hellsguard often find themselves on the receiving end of poor impulse control paired to an even poorer tolerance for bullshit. What is considered bullshit often has a wild variance at any given time, meaning it's often best not to be within direct reach of Hammersmith at any given time.

: Hammersmith's fighting skills are based on a lifetime of heavy combat and the understanding of skirmishing that comes from it. It's not flashy and it's not stylish. It's efficient and practiced, with muscle memory retained from decades of taking people apart step by careful step. The Hellsguard looks slow, and has a severe disdain for 'showing off'. This works to his advantage in most cases. He enjoys brawling but he considers pulling steel on someone as something you only do when you intend to kill them on the spot.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Known Biography</div>===

:Those who have encountered the giant in recent days liken it to camping on a volcano. It's not a matter of if he's going to cause chaos. It's a matter of when and how many people are around when he goes off. Attempts to find out why this eye of the storm has returned to the field after so long have revealed the following:

:Hammersmith has a military history in Ul'dah, with a long record of service stretching back at least two decades from the current point in time. The few that recognize the name in the leadership refuse to say more than 'He was a siege master and he was good at his job.' His claims of retirement are validated by the official record with it marked as almost one year before Dalmud's decent. Several mercenary companies do have some record of a Hellsguard matching Hammersmith's description in their records pre-dating his service to Ul'Dah, though not under that name. His records of service in the mercenary companies were always short and normally involved an extremely violent campaign against large cities.

:Hammersmith claims that almost everyone he knew before Dalmud's decent is dead. His age, combined with the high casualty rate of both siege workers and recent cataclysm support his claim. With little to no support or social structure left to him in his advancing age, it's not a surprise he's been forced to return to the fields of war and his old bloody craft to 'rebuild'.

:What records remain in Limsa also support his claim of "retirement" to pure smithing work, with a filed rank of 'master' at the armorer and blacksmithing guilds, as well as a deeds to a plot of land now several feet under water post Dalmud calamity. There used to be a town there as well, named Copper Grove. Now it's gone. The question of why Hammersmith isn't underwater with it is a matter of debate and, for some, lament.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Miscellaneous</div>===

* Hammersmith's teeth are filed to points.

* His one remaining eye is a dark, bloody red, usually matched to the often burst vessels surrounding it.

* One of his current hobbies seems to be participating in the local underground fight circles between stints of "official" work for the Immortal Flames.

* Hammersmith's loathing of mages is only matched by his utter hatred of chronic liars. There are guard records from the Yellowjackets several decades ago that suggest a sudden outbreak of tongueless "mutes" was due to politics and Hammersmith meeting head to head.

*That's probably not his blood colouring his hair. But it probably belonged to someone else, at some point, earlier in the day.

* Speaking of which: The Limsa Maurader's guild refuses to speak about Hammersmith in any official capacity and claims to have no records on him. Even those too young to know Hammersmith from that far back don't talk about his enrollment or lack there of.

* Hammersmith has been heard, in public, to claim to have had children. If they survived to adulthood is up for speculation, as is who would be stupid enough to remain in arm's length of him long enough to start raising a family.

* Coffee, smokes, and heavy alchohol seem to be all the giant consumes. Local merchants in Ul'dah note he does purchase large amounts of Hard-Tack from the Immortal Flames stockpiles though.

* Hammer apparently has an extreme view of the Hellsguardian approach to names. He views them as disposable and has used multiple over the course of his life when not signing his name to "Official" documents or in close company. Names suspected to have been associated with a Roe matching Hammer's look, outlook, and attitude include: War Dog, Pig Iron, Furious Goat, Hay Geezer, Hell Thrower, Tunnel Boar, Wall Demon, Ash Rat, Red Singer, Spark Song, Wall Eye, Warm Furnace and High Lantern. How he came to hold on to "Flameson Hammersmith" as a formal public label doesn't appear to be a story he's telling.

: <font style="color:#aac5b4;" size="3">■</font> "Interesting fellow. For all of his bluster, he was affected when those knives sank into her. Gave me an earful on her behalf. I'd bet he was concerned, not that he'd ever admit it." -- [[Warren Castille]]
: <font style="color:#aac5b4;" size="3">■</font> "He arrived to me at the Grindstone, shirtless, covered in sweat, blood and ichor. Anyone else and I'd have been disgusted, but on him it looked...natural. Suitable. Even a bit alluring, in some sick way. We'll have to meet again, methinks." -- [[Steel Wolf]]
: <font style="color:#aac5b4;" size="3">■</font> "He keeps trying to get me to admit to something I'm not. . . I don't try to hurt people, I don't care what he says." -- [[Aaron Frostheart]]
: <font style="color:#aac5b4;" size="3">■</font> "Incredibly impressive that. Smart too, wearin' a steel cup in his codpiece. Love 'im for taking Reddard out last I helped Ser Castille by overseeing." -- [[Kage Kiryuu]]
: <font style="color:#aac5b4;" size="3">■</font> "...whenever I see him at the far side of a bar I start praying to the Twelve a brawl doesn't break out. I think he might use me as a makeshift cannonball." -- [[Luthiah Reyrmor]]

: <font style="color:#aac5b4;" size="3">■</font> "Sir Flameson Hammersmith, forger of breastplates, bane of masonry. I had been well acquainted with the legends both of his deeds and misdeeds, but only upon speaking with him myself did I get the faintest hint of his secret sophistication. Sadly the gems of his wisdom are hidden away behind the castle walls of his acerbic personality and incomprehensible dialect. If he could tear down these walls, then perhaps one day his treasured wisdom would be added to the inventory of his legends." -- [[Lilia Lia]]
: <font style="color:#aac5b4;" size="3">■</font> "Qui' the overgrown piece o' meat, an' an arsehole... reminds me of my sista'." [[Chiyo Hoshi]]
: <font style="color:#aac5b4;" size="3">■</font> "He likes to talk like a big brute but I think he is truly a big softie. He reminds me much of my brother. Big, loud, and proud. He seems to hate everyone but if he truly did he wouldn't go out in public. Don't let him fool you." [[Kaguya Nightsong]] /Flower
: <font style="color:#aac5b4;" size="3">■</font> "First time I met him, he was ''speaking'' blood--literally. Last time I saw him, he played golf with a highlander--again, literally." -- [[Allister Dedrick]]
: <font style="color:#aac5b4;" size="3">■</font> "He's scary. Like, really scary. I don't want to be alone in a room, or an alley, or anywhere, really, with this guy." -- [[Jadoth Bloodreign]]

: <font style="color:#aac5b4;" size="3">■</font> "Don't let his complacency fool you, the monster's as swift as they come and packs a kick hard enough to collapse my lungs and break my ribs. I'd be honored to call him a friend, and perhaps by the Twelve's grace, a rival." -- [[Orenji Kharn]]
:<font style="color:#aac5b4;" size="3">■</font> "I could probably do something about those scars, but he strikes me as the sort to be offended by the notion." -- [[Jana Ridah]]

{{Character-stub}}

==Appearance==
Years learning how to hunt and trap animals in the Black Shroud followed with a harder life in Gridania after the Calamity have kept Jana lean and toned. The clothing she wears reflects her own self-image as an adventurer, usually being simple and protective. She's gotten used to wearing a pair of glasses while working for Maelvaan's Gate, needed for her to "work the damn grimoire," though she will never admit that they also help her accuracy with a bow. Late nights of studying as well as losing sleep from her own stresses have led to Jana going around with dark circles under her eyes and a somewhat slouchy posture.
==History==
While all Jana will voluntarily share with most others is that she's an adventurer originally from Gridania, she was actually raised in a small Keeper of the Moon settlement in the East Shroud. It was there that Jana learned the basics of using a spear and a bow, how to track and trap game, and how to turn it into food and leather, all while well within the bounds enforced by the Wood Wailers. However, much of what she knew was wiped out by the Calamity, and the Wailers that her family had known had gone off to war and never returned. The remaining Keepers scattered with the subsequent Garlean establishment of Castrum Oriens, some making it to larger living groups in the area, others retreating further into the forest to live as poachers. Jana's mother Dina was able to escape to Gridania with her two children, but Jana and her sister Khena weren't able to save her from an illness she had caught while traversing the shroud. The two young Miqo'te scraped out a living by hunting small game around the city and selling the meager meat and furs to other refugees for a few years. It was during these first years of the seventh umbral era that Jana learned how to fight bare-handed, fending off competition that was more likely to poach and draw attention from the authorities (though her fights often drew them over regardless).

On the fifth year of the umbral era, Jana and Khena decided to put their money together to escape their life as homeless, small-time hunters. With her share of the savings, Khena was able to rent her own small lodging and join the Lancer's Guild in Gridania, while Jana loaded up on supplies and made the journey to Ul'dah, saying she was chasing the promise of further riches while honing her skills as a pugilist. In reality, Jana was trying to chase her idea of “revenge”: By learning how Magitek worked, she hoped to turn the Garlean war machines of her youth against them and cleanse the Shroud of their presence.

During her time in Ul'dah, Jana joined both the Pugilists' and Adventurers' Guilds, where she improved her ability to fight bare-handed and with knuckle weapons while working around Thanalan as an adventurer for hire. With time, she also joined the Free Brigade of the Immortal Flames, mostly taking small assignments and saving up for such luxuries as her own chocobo (named "Khenta," after her sister). But as time passed and battles escalated, Jana found herself fighting during the battle to capture Castrum Meridianum, Operation Archon. Eager to see magitek in-person once more, she followed the Flames to victory, but it was then that she knew she could never learn how to harness that power by simply fighting it as a soldier or adventurer. After doing some research, she determined that the best way to advance would be to make her way to Limsa Lominsa, where Jana enrolled with the Arcanists' Guild and began to study the manipulation of Aether, planning to learn how best to apply it to metalworking.

Upon her return to Ul'dah, however, her station within the Immortal Flames led to her being an accessory to more than few conspiracies, including that which claimed the life of the woman who had named her her lover for less than a day. With Natalie's death, and after having done her best to change herself to be worthy of the Sworn's affection, Jana receded further into solitude than ever before, fleeing Thanalan for a few weeks for fear of imprisonment for her part in the events at the La Noscean dockside raid. Eventually, Jana returned to her duties in Ul'dah, and aided the city's protectors once more. Over the course of these adventures, she got to know the slanderous reporter Spahro Llorn, who named Jana as her new girlfriend. Back in the social scene once more, Jana struggles with the bloody breakdown she had over her last relationship's sudden end while trying not to jeopardize her new one.
==Personality==
After Natalie's death, Jana tends to carry herself in a distanced manner, generally coming off as either gloomy or creepy. She's no stranger to the trials brought upon the survivors of the Calamity, and the trials she's placed upon herself have led to her further deviations from social norms. She is capable of working hard when she has a clear goal in front of her, but Jana doesn't take work itself very seriously, having faith in her own combat prowess to see her through. She acts confident to the point of arrogance when within the confines of “adventuring,” but is a lot more hesitant in almost every other aspect.
==Affiliations==
Khena Ridah (sister): Jana's relationship with her sister is somewhat strained by their disagreement over how to use their savings. Partially as an attempt to prove her wrong, Jana sent gil back to her sister during the early time of her adventuring in Ul'dah. They haven't had direct contact with each other since their initial separation, though Jana has learned that her sister's smart investments have led her to success.

Dina Ridah (mother, deceased): The matriarch of the small Ridah family, she was instrumental in teaching the two girls how to live off of the forest without disrespecting the Elementals. Her death of illness just outside of Gridania proper has left Jana disillusioned with the "protectors of the Hedge," and was a key reason for her choice to seek her fortunes in Ul'dah.
==Other Notes==
Jana is an adventurer with the Echo, having used this power gained shortly after the Calamity in her pursuit of power and revenge. With its protection, Jana has joined other adventurers in felling the primals Titan, Ifrit, Shiva, and Ramuh, though this is not all the Echo has done for her. Seeing it as a curse along with its blessings, Jana is haunted by the visions of the enslaved dragons within Allagan Ruins, from the point of view of some unknown adventurer who made the journey deep underground to confront Bahamut himself...

Jana's Echo also leads her to seek out others who posses a Soul Crystal, this being one of the few ways Jana will willingly show another person her "Soul of the Summoner".
