<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
*'''Height:''' Slightly on the shorter side, roughly 5'2"<br />
<br />
*'''Weight:''' Roughly average.<br />
<br />
*'''Body:''' Rio is lithely muscled, due to the amount of physical activity that goes with her profession.<br />
<br />
*'''Hair:''' Dark red, with lighter red highlights. She usually wears it tied up in two long pigtails behind her head.<br />
<br />
*'''Eyes:''' Deep red, with a tinge of dark brown. She also has a pure white eye located on her forehead that she tends to comb her hair over to keep it hidden.<br />
<br />
*'''Skin:''' Somewhat tanned. She tends to tan easier than she burns. She also has freckles. Yes, she probably always had them. Shut up.<br />
<br />
*'''Clothing: ''' Rio tends to wear lighter, more comfortable fabrics; oftentimes showing a lot of skin. This is due to her work environment normally being a stuffy, hot, airship engine room. She also usually has some sort of explosive or device stuffed into every nook and cranny of her outfit, and usually modifies them with extra straps or secret pockets to facilitate cramming even MORE volatile devices onto her person. (Such as storing sticks of dynamite in the heels of her boots.)<br />
:When working, however, she tends to favor heavy sets of plate armor. She usually modifies this armor with a number of devices such as hidden guns and compartments for holding devices.<br />
<br />
*'''Voice:''' Rio's voice is very high pitched, to the point of being a little grating at times. She tends to speak animatedly, cracking friendly jokes, and dispensing pointed sass with the same amount of glee. <br />
<br />
She sounds quite a bit like Fidget from Dust: An Elysian Tale- http://youtu.be/5MdtgOTl60o <br />

<br />
<br />
:'''Alignment:''' Chaotic Neutral<br />
<br />
:'''Personality:''' Rio has grown up quite a bit since she left Corvus Cinis before the Calamity to travel the skies with Misaio. Although she still tends to act brashly and doesn't always think through what she's doing, Rio now possesses the ability to examine the consequences of her actions. She also no longer has infinite emotional energy to march down and take no prisoners and slaughter everything between her and her goals.<br />
:That said, Rio still possesses a very energetic, childlike personality. She enjoys weaving words into sharp, playful insults; and tends to flirt with most girls and women she meets. She no longer seems like the dunce she used to portray, and although still pretty immature, a fair bit more of her perceptive mind shows through the bubbly facade. <br />
<br />
:'''Morals:''' Rio tends to act in ways that benefit Rio. Though this tends to extend to people that she values, she doesn't pay much mind to those that she doesn't. She tends to care little for the laws of the realm, and tends to commit crimes like robbery or murder without so much a thought for the consequences. After all, if it's good for Rio, it must be good for everyone, right?<br />
<br />
'''Primary Weaponry'''<br />
:Anarchy- An axe with two cermet blades that contains a mechanism that uses fire crystals and ceruleum to supercharge the blades and make them red hot. It is capable of slicing through lesser materials with ease, and is used by Rio as a cutting tool even more than she uses it as a weapon. The blades need to be replaced every now and then, due to the mechanism warping the material.<br />
:Unnamed Magitek Pistol- A pistol that has shown up in many scenes; mainly used by Rio to threaten individuals. It has yet to be shown in battle and is generally used as more of a running gag than a weapon.<br />

<br />
:'''Marksmanship/ Martial Arts:''' Rio has been trained to handle all varieties of firearm when she was growing up in Garlemald. Her steady hands make her a deadly shot at almost any range, although she's the most comfortable using lighter guns at closer ranges. In melee range she can make use of her firearm as a deadly close-range blunt weapon. (Or bladed weapon, if a bayonet is equipped to it.) As she generally keeps a pistol on her person at all times, this tends to be her default fighting style if she is ambushed or not planning to go into battle.<br />
<br />
:'''Axemanship:''' Rio's main combat style when going into a heavy combat situation. When Rio sets out to smash some faces in, she gears up in heavy plate and takes Anarchy with her. Her style with this weapon revolves around using disciplined and forceful attacks to shatter an enemy's defenses and put an axe through them. Thanks to the perception her third eye affords her, she is able to easily parry most attacks, making her both an iron wall as well as a terrifying battering ram. <br />
<br />
:'''Tribal Martial Style:''' A hand-to-hand style taught to Rio by Misaio during their travels. This style is the style that Rio falls back on if completely disarmed or when challenged to weaponless combat. It relies on agility and momentum to both dodge out of harm's way and to rain down blows upon a hapless, slower foe. Rio's already considerable strength puts a fair bit of "oomph" behind her punches and kicks as well and allows her to perform complicated acrobatic feats.<br />
<br />
''Weaknesses:'' All three of Rio's combat styles share one universal weakness: if her legs are disabled, she becomes basically helpless. She makes heavy use of her agility in her Marksmanship and Tribal styles, and uses her legs for stability in her Axe style. <br />

'''Chapter 0: Prologue'''<br />
<br />
'''Ancestry''<br />
::Rio's family comes from a long line of Garlean Miqo'te going all the way back to when the former republic was barely formed. An offshoot clan of Seeker of the Sun Miqo'te was one of the first aggressors out of many to attack the fledgling nation. This clan, who's name has been lost to history, was soundly trounced by the formidable fighters of the republican guard; and their leaders were captured. So, in exchange for becoming one of the few allies of Garlemald, the Miqo'te would be allowed to live freely amongst them.<br />
::Over time, this Seeker of the Sun clan's tribal traditions were replaced by those of their Garlean allies, and they became a part of the republic. They cast off the name "Seekers of the Sun" and became Garlemald's own "Children of Steel"; sworn to serve the republic for the rest of their days, They took up traditionally Garlean names and traditions, and a few of them even rose into the nobility of the republic, and later the empire. The Rosch family was one of those families.<br />
<br />
''She's a Magitek Woman''<br />
::Rio van Rosch was born to a pair of Imperial engineers, with her mother hailing from a prestigious house of Children of Steel Miqo'te known as the house of Rosch: and her father being another child of steel who's house name had been lost in the tribe's transition from savage tribals to civilized soldiers of the Empire. The two were wed by their coworkers in a small, abandoned airship hangar in the Bozja Citadel, and for a time, life was good, peaceful even. Perry and Alya carried about their work, toiling for the good of the Empire. After a time, Perry himself was even accepted into the house of Rosch, becoming Perry van Rosch. <br />
::And of course, as such things go, Alya eventually became pregnant by Perry and bore a single daughter, everyone's favorite Rio van Rosch. The small child was blessed, in that she had enough of the pure blood of the Empire to be born with a third eye upon her forehead, as all pureblooded Garelans have. Years passed uneventfully around the small family until the year of Ala Mihgo's fall, when they decided to return to the Rosch Family's seat of influence in Garlemald proper for the sake of young Rio's education.<br />
::Perry and Alya, being the team that they were, were brought on as engineers nearly directly under Cid nan Garlond, a minister of magitek in the capital city. Rio began attending a prestigious school, where she learned the various disciplines that any young Garlean of rank might learn. However, it was Rio's experiences outside her education that would set her course in life. <br />
::Having magiengineers as parents, Rio was exposed frequently to the art and science that is magitek. She found herself fascinated by all the strange and awe-inspiring creations her family had a hand in while working under Cid, and found a craving for knowledge awaken in her. She would locate books on magitek (small ones, she's only nine turns old at this point) and devour the information contained within. Instead of playing with friends like many children her age, Rio would accompany her parents to their work, watching from a safe distance and helping where she could. She met with Cid nan Garlond quite a bit during this time in her life, mainly because they just happened to be in the same place at the same time.<br />
::She was not, however, without friends. Her best friend, Gidget Throttle, shared her enthusiasm for magiengineering, and accompanied her on these trips to the workshops and hangars that she spent so much of her childhood in. <br />
<br />
''This Town is Falling Apart''<br />
::Rio's education in both schooling and magitek continued for many years. The young Miqo'te experienced few troubles, and strife was a thing virtually unheard of. That is, of course, until the Meteor Project ended her happy days of innocent bliss. You see, within the Bozja Citadel lived the vast majority of the Children of Steel Miqo'te. The Rosch family was an oddity in that they preferred life in the capital over life among their fellows in the spiraling, labyrinthine halls and workshops of the citadel. And so, the day Dalamud turned red and vaporized the Bozja Citadel, the Children of Steel miqo'te became an endangered culture where seconds earlier they stood as a flourishing symbol of Garlean might. 70% of the population of the Children were reduced to smoke and ashes within 30 seconds of Dalamud's activation.<br />
::The instant that this tragic event took place, Ferro van Rosch, Rio's grandfather and the head of the Rosch family stormed to the imperial palace, demanding an explanation and upon receiving one, demanded that the project be abandoned. The Emperor shared his sentiments at the time, and the Meteor Project was abandoned. <br />
::After that event, life became tense around the Rosch household; but they continued to have faith in the Garlean Empire they had sworn themselves to. Rio continued her education, albeit with a lessened enthusiasm. She spent more time in the workshops than ever, throwing herself into her magitek education to avoid the pitiful stares and whispered words of her classmates and strangers on the street. It was around this time that Cid and his engineers left to form the Garlond Ironworks in Eorzea. Picking up a number of his projects, the Rosch family toiled on in the service of them Empire; they had sworn an oath, after all. <br />

'''During the Events of A Realm Reborn'''<br />
<br />
Rio suddenly reappeared roughly five years after the calamity at the Cold Moon Gala. Although she didn't end up as a Warrior of Light, she didn't speak of where she had departed to since the calamity happened. However, she did reunite with Alothia and the rest of Corvus Cinis, and rejoined the company the same day. <br />
When Lainseworth approached Corvus, offering a way to regain his voice, Rio participated in a raid into the Haukke Manor to fulfill the requirements to use the dark magic. Outside the manor, she was reunited with Misaio, her captain.<br />

<br />
'''The Desert Moogle Consortium'''<br />
<br />
[[Misaio Imella]]- The individual closest to Rio before she went missing, Rio and Misaio are very close friends. Misaio captains the airship that Rio works on and Rio would follow her into the seven hells if need be. Rio has resumed her work as Misaio's second-in-command, following her orders to the letter. She's also smitten with the woman, and recently confessed as such to her. Although they maintain both their captain-subordinate relationship and their friendly relationship, Rio now makes a point to flirt with the woman whenever she sees an opportunity to.<br />
<br />
[[Scarlet Willow]]- Another member of Misaio's crew that Rio has only recently met. She thinks of the Roegadyn as a friend and admires her level headedness in a group where slightly off-the-rails individuals such as Misaio and herself tend to be the rule.<br />
<br />
U'zahn Tia- An U tribe miqo'te that has been visiting the Consortium frequently in recent days. Although the two have radically different views on the world, their arguments are usually playful ones. In the end, they mostly just agree to disagree and get along anyway. Although they both compete for the hand of their captain, the two have managed to remain friends.<br />
<br />
[[Lainseworth Ravencraft]]- One of Rio's close friends from before the Calamity; Rio is immensely fond of the little Lalafell. She tries to treat him with a measure of respect, given his position and talents as her coworker; but usually is reduced to high pitch squeals and headpats and hugs in his incredibly cute presence. Even having gained the ability to speak, Rio's condition when it comes to Lainse has hardly improved.<br />
<br />
'''Corvus Cinis'''<br />
<br />
[[Alothia Starkwood]]- Rio's boss in Corvus Cinis prior to her departure with Misaio. Rio is immensely loyal to Alothia even now, and would probably still make good on her promise to "melt anyone that hurts her." She was reunited with her after the Calamity and rejoined Alothia's company.<br />
<br />
[[Lily Dawnsworn]]- The second-in-command of Corvus Cinis that Rio loves to tease. Although sometimes Lily can act cold to her, Rio presses on undaunted to make her as silly as the rest of the company. She likes to flirt with her, although she doesn't have much real interest in her romantically.<br />
<br />
[[Vash Ashford]]- An employee of Corvus Cinis Rio met after the calamity. Rio's not quite sure what to make of him yet, but gauges him to be pretty harmless, at least. She's come to believe that the one thing that he does excel at is being a minion or henchman.<br />
<br />
[[Eric Verus]]- An employee of Corvus Cinis that Rio met briefly during a tense encounter with Deirdre. After she found out about his background, she developed a measure of respect for him; to the point where she forged a gunblade for him to use against Souyo, which he promptly broke and lost in the snows of Coerthas. She's somewhat sore about that still.<br />
<br />
[[Souyo Xander]]- A man who was corrupted by the power of a dark crystal and waged a private war against Corvus Cinis. Rio has a distaste and fear of this man and tends to tell him just that when in his company. She only addresses him with biting remarks and sarcasm, even when told by Misaio to be civil. The source of her distaste for him stemmed from a fear that he would steal Misaio from her and take her far away, destroying the magiengineer's way of life.<br />
<br />
K'oriah Rahjeh- A young Miqo'te girl that Rio met in the company of Souyo. Rio has taken a shine to K'oriah, and tends to act like a big sister to her. <br />
<br />
'''Others'''<br />
<br />
[[Deirdre Ta'ea]]- A former Eorzean Guard member that Rio once served with. Given her propensity for stabbing people and generally threatening nature, Rio tends to be scared stiff of her. She is, in Rio's words, "A terrifying, horrible, super mean, stab-you-in-the-gut, jerk!".<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
*'''Height:''' Slightly on the shorter side, roughly 5'2"<br />
<br />
*'''Weight:''' Roughly average.<br />
<br />
*'''Body:''' Rio is lithely muscled, due to the amount of physical activity that goes with her profession.<br />
<br />
*'''Hair:''' Dark red, with lighter red highlights. She usually wears it tied up in pigtails on the front of her head.<br />
<br />
*'''Eyes:''' Deep red, with a tinge of dark brown. She also has a pure white eye located on her forehead that she tends to comb her hair over to keep it hidden.<br />
<br />
*'''Skin:''' Somewhat tanned. She tends to tan easier than she burns. She also has freckles. Yes, she probably always had them. Shut up.<br />
<br />
*'''Clothing: ''' Rio tends to wear lighter, more comfortable fabrics; oftentimes showing a lot of skin. This is due to her work environment normally being a stuffy, hot, airship engine room. She also usually has some sort of explosive or device stuffed into every nook and cranny of her outfit, and usually modifies them with extra straps or secret pockets to facilitate cramming even MORE volatile devices onto her person. (Such as storing sticks of dynamite in the heels of her boots.)<br />
:When working, however, she tends to favor heavy sets of plate armor. She usually modifies this armor with a number of devices such as hidden guns and compartments for holding devices.<br />
<br />
*'''Voice:''' Rio's voice is very high pitched, to the point of being a little grating at times. She tends to speak animatedly, cracking friendly jokes, and dispensing pointed sass with the same amount of glee. <br />
<br />
She sounds quite a bit like Fidget from Dust: An Elysian Tale- http://youtu.be/5MdtgOTl60o <br />

<br />
<br />
:'''Alignment:''' Chaotic Neutral<br />
<br />
:'''Personality:''' Rio has grown up quite a bit since she left Corvus Cinis before the Calamity to travel the skies with Misaio. Although she still tends to act brashly and doesn't always think through what she's doing, Rio now possesses the ability to examine the consequences of her actions. She also no longer has infinite emotional energy to march down and take no prisoners and slaughter everything between her and her goals.<br />
:That said, Rio still possesses a very energetic, childlike personality. She enjoys weaving words into sharp, playful insults; and tends to flirt with most girls and women she meets. She no longer seems like the dunce she used to portray, and although still pretty immature, a fair bit more of her perceptive mind shows through the bubbly facade. <br />
<br />
:'''Morals:''' Rio tends to act in ways that benefit Rio. Though this tends to extend to people that she values, she doesn't pay much mind to those that she doesn't. She tends to care little for the laws of the realm, and tends to commit crimes like robbery or murder without so much a thought for the consequences. After all, if it's good for Rio, it must be good for everyone, right?<br />
<br />
'''Primary Weaponry'''<br />
:Anarchy- An axe with two cermet blades that contains a mechanism that uses fire crystals and ceruleum to supercharge the blades and make them red hot. It is capable of slicing through lesser materials with ease, and is used by Rio as a cutting tool even more than she uses it as a weapon. The blades need to be replaced every now and then, due to the mechanism warping the material.<br />
:Unnamed Magitek Pistol- A pistol that has shown up in many scenes; mainly used by Rio to threaten individuals. It has yet to be shown in battle and is generally used as more of a running gag than a weapon.<br />

<br />
:'''Marksmanship/ Martial Arts:''' Rio has been trained to handle all varieties of firearm when she was growing up in Garlemald. Her steady hands make her a deadly shot at almost any range, although she's the most comfortable using lighter guns at closer ranges. In melee range she can make use of her firearm as a deadly close-range blunt weapon. (Or bladed weapon, if a bayonet is equipped to it.) As she generally keeps a pistol on her person at all times, this tends to be her default fighting style if she is ambushed or not planning to go into battle.<br />
<br />
:'''Axemanship:''' Rio's main combat style when going into a heavy combat situation. When Rio sets out to smash some faces in, she gears up in heavy plate and takes Anarchy with her. Her style with this weapon revolves around using disciplined and forceful attacks to shatter an enemy's defenses and put an axe through them. Thanks to the perception her third eye affords her, she is able to easily parry most attacks, making her both an iron wall as well as a terrifying battering ram. <br />
<br />
:'''Tribal Martial Style:''' A hand-to-hand style taught to Rio by Misaio during their travels. This style is the style that Rio falls back on if completely disarmed or when challenged to weaponless combat. It relies on agility and momentum to both dodge out of harm's way and to rain down blows upon a hapless, slower foe. Rio's already considerable strength puts a fair bit of "oomph" behind her punches and kicks as well and allows her to perform complicated acrobatic feats.<br />
<br />
''Weaknesses:'' All three of Rio's combat styles share one universal weakness: if her legs are disabled, she becomes basically helpless. She makes heavy use of her agility in her Marksmanship and Tribal styles, and uses her legs for stability in her Axe style. <br />

'''Chapter 0: Prologue'''<br />
<br />
'''Ancestry''<br />
::Rio's family comes from a long line of Garlean Miqo'te going all the way back to when the former republic was barely formed. An offshoot clan of Seeker of the Sun Miqo'te was one of the first aggressors out of many to attack the fledgling nation. This clan, who's name has been lost to history, was soundly trounced by the formidable fighters of the republican guard; and their leaders were captured. So, in exchange for becoming one of the few allies of Garlemald, the Miqo'te would be allowed to live freely amongst them.<br />
::Over time, this Seeker of the Sun clan's tribal traditions were replaced by those of their Garlean allies, and they became a part of the republic. They cast off the name "Seekers of the Sun" and became Garlemald's own "Children of Steel"; sworn to serve the republic for the rest of their days, They took up traditionally Garlean names and traditions, and a few of them even rose into the nobility of the republic, and later the empire. The Rosch family was one of those families.<br />
<br />
''She's a Magitek Woman''<br />
::Rio van Rosch was born to a pair of Imperial engineers, with her mother hailing from a prestigious house of Children of Steel Miqo'te known as the house of Rosch: and her father being another child of steel who's house name had been lost in the tribe's transition from savage tribals to civilized soldiers of the Empire. The two were wed by their coworkers in a small, abandoned airship hangar in the Bozja Citadel, and for a time, life was good, peaceful even. Perry and Alya carried about their work, toiling for the good of the Empire. After a time, Perry himself was even accepted into the house of Rosch, becoming Perry van Rosch. <br />
::And of course, as such things go, Alya eventually became pregnant by Perry and bore a single daughter, everyone's favorite Rio van Rosch. The small child was blessed, in that she had enough of the pure blood of the Empire to be born with a third eye upon her forehead, as all pureblooded Garelans have. Years passed uneventfully around the small family until the year of Ala Mihgo's fall, when they decided to return to the Rosch Family's seat of influence in Garlemald proper for the sake of young Rio's education.<br />
::Perry and Alya, being the team that they were, were brought on as engineers nearly directly under Cid nan Garlond, a minister of magitek in the capital city. Rio began attending a prestigious school, where she learned the various disciplines that any young Garlean of rank might learn. However, it was Rio's experiences outside her education that would set her course in life. <br />
::Having magiengineers as parents, Rio was exposed frequently to the art and science that is magitek. She found herself fascinated by all the strange and awe-inspiring creations her family had a hand in while working under Cid, and found a craving for knowledge awaken in her. She would locate books on magitek (small ones, she's only nine turns old at this point) and devour the information contained within. Instead of playing with friends like many children her age, Rio would accompany her parents to their work, watching from a safe distance and helping where she could. She met with Cid nan Garlond quite a bit during this time in her life, mainly because they just happened to be in the same place at the same time.<br />
::She was not, however, without friends. Her best friend, Gidget Throttle, shared her enthusiasm for magiengineering, and accompanied her on these trips to the workshops and hangars that she spent so much of her childhood in. <br />
<br />
''This Town is Falling Apart''<br />
::Rio's education in both schooling and magitek continued for many years. The young Miqo'te experienced few troubles, and strife was a thing virtually unheard of. That is, of course, until the Meteor Project ended her happy days of innocent bliss. You see, within the Bozja Citadel lived the vast majority of the Children of Steel Miqo'te. The Rosch family was an oddity in that they preferred life in the capital over life among their fellows in the spiraling, labyrinthine halls and workshops of the citadel. And so, the day Dalamud turned red and vaporized the Bozja Citadel, the Children of Steel miqo'te became an endangered culture where seconds earlier they stood as a flourishing symbol of Garlean might. 70% of the population of the Children were reduced to smoke and ashes within 30 seconds of Dalamud's activation.<br />
::The instant that this tragic event took place, Ferro van Rosch, Rio's grandfather and the head of the Rosch family stormed to the imperial palace, demanding an explanation and upon receiving one, demanded that the project be abandoned. The Emperor shared his sentiments at the time, and the Meteor Project was abandoned. <br />
::After that event, life became tense around the Rosch household; but they continued to have faith in the Garlean Empire they had sworn themselves to. Rio continued her education, albeit with a lessened enthusiasm. She spent more time in the workshops than ever, throwing herself into her magitek education to avoid the pitiful stares and whispered words of her classmates and strangers on the street. It was around this time that Cid and his engineers left to form the Garlond Ironworks in Eorzea. Picking up a number of his projects, the Rosch family toiled on in the service of them Empire; they had sworn an oath, after all. <br />
<br />

'''During the Events of A Realm Reborn'''<br />
<br />
Rio suddenly reappeared roughly five years after the calamity at the Cold Moon Gala. Although she didn't end up as a Warrior of Light, she didn't speak of where she had departed to since the calamity happened. However, she did reunite with Alothia and the rest of Corvus Cinis, and rejoined the company the same day. <br />
When Lainseworth approached Corvus, offering a way to regain his voice, Rio participated in a raid into the Haukke Manor to fulfill the requirements to use the dark magic. Outside the manor, she was reunited with Misaio, her captain.<br />

<br />
'''The Desert Moogle Consortium'''<br />
<br />
[[Misaio Imella]]- The individual closest to Rio before she went missing, Rio and Misaio are very close friends. Misaio captains the airship that Rio works on and Rio would follow her into the seven hells if need be. Rio has resumed her work as Misaio's second-in-command, following her orders to the letter. She's also smitten with the woman, and recently confessed as such to her. Although they maintain both their captain-subordinate relationship and their friendly relationship, Rio now makes a point to flirt with the woman whenever she sees an opportunity to.<br />
<br />
[[Scarlet Willow]]- Another member of Misaio's crew that Rio has only recently met. She thinks of the Roegadyn as a friend and admires her level headedness in a group where slightly off-the-rails individuals such as Misaio and herself tend to be the rule.<br />
<br />
U'zahn Tia- An U tribe miqo'te that has been visiting the Consortium frequently in recent days. Although the two have radically different views on the world, their arguments are usually playful ones. In the end, they mostly just agree to disagree and get along anyway. Although they both compete for the hand of their captain, the two have managed to remain friends.<br />
<br />
[[Lainseworth Ravencraft]]- One of Rio's close friends from before the Calamity; Rio is immensely fond of the little Lalafell. She tries to treat him with a measure of respect, given his position and talents as her coworker; but usually is reduced to high pitch squeals and headpats and hugs in his incredibly cute presence. Even having gained the ability to speak, Rio's condition when it comes to Lainse has hardly improved.<br />
<br />
'''Corvus Cinis'''<br />
<br />
[[Alothia Starkwood]]- Rio's boss in Corvus Cinis prior to her departure with Misaio. Rio is immensely loyal to Alothia even now, and would probably still make good on her promise to "melt anyone that hurts her." She was reunited with her after the Calamity and rejoined Alothia's company.<br />
<br />
[[Lily Dawnsworn]]- The second-in-command of Corvus Cinis that Rio loves to tease. Although sometimes Lily can act cold to her, Rio presses on undaunted to make her as silly as the rest of the company. She likes to flirt with her, although she doesn't have much real interest in her romantically.<br />
<br />
[[Vash Ashford]]- An employee of Corvus Cinis Rio met after the calamity. Rio's not quite sure what to make of him yet, but gauges him to be pretty harmless, at least. She's come to believe that the one thing that he does excel at is being a minion or henchman.<br />
<br />
[[Eric Verus]]- An employee of Corvus Cinis that Rio met briefly during a tense encounter with Deirdre. After she found out about his background, she developed a measure of respect for him; to the point where she forged a gunblade for him to use against Souyo, which he promptly broke and lost in the snows of Coerthas. She's somewhat sore about that still.<br />
<br />
[[Souyo Xander]]- A man who was corrupted by the power of a dark crystal and waged a private war against Corvus Cinis. Rio has a distaste and fear of this man and tends to tell him just that when in his company. She only addresses him with biting remarks and sarcasm, even when told by Misaio to be civil. The source of her distaste for him stemmed from a fear that he would steal Misaio from her and take her far away, destroying the magiengineer's way of life.<br />
<br />
K'oriah Rahjeh- A young Miqo'te girl that Rio met in the company of Souyo. Rio has taken a shine to K'oriah, and tends to act like a big sister to her. <br />
<br />
'''Others'''<br />
<br />
[[Deirdre Ta'ea]]- A former Eorzean Guard member that Rio once served with. Given her propensity for stabbing people and generally threatening nature, Rio tends to be scared stiff of her. She is, in Rio's words, "A terrifying, horrible, super mean, stab-you-in-the-gut, jerk!".<br />
<br />
[[Mtoto Wamoto]]- A Miqo'te who formerly lead the Eorzean Guard that Rio once joined. Although Rio was eventually discharged from the Guard, she retains a large amount of respect for the woman.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
*'''Height:''' Slightly on the shorter side, roughly 5'2"<br />
<br />
*'''Weight:''' Roughly average.<br />
<br />
*'''Body:''' Rio is lithely muscled, due to the amount of physical activity that goes with her profession.<br />
<br />
*'''Hair:''' Dark red, with lighter red highlights. She usually wears it tied up in pigtails on the front of her head.<br />
<br />
*'''Eyes:''' Deep red, with a tinge of dark brown. She also has a pure white eye located on her forehead that she tends to comb her hair over to keep it hidden.<br />
<br />
*'''Skin:''' Somewhat tanned. She tends to tan easier than she burns. She also has freckles. Yes, she probably always had them. Shut up.<br />
<br />
*'''Clothing: ''' Rio tends to wear lighter, more comfortable fabrics; oftentimes showing a lot of skin. This is due to her work environment normally being a stuffy, hot, airship engine room. She also usually has some sort of explosive or device stuffed into every nook and cranny of her outfit, and usually modifies them with extra straps or secret pockets to facilitate cramming even MORE volatile devices onto her person. (Such as storing sticks of dynamite in the heels of her boots.)<br />
:When working, however, she tends to favor heavy sets of plate armor. She usually modifies this armor with a number of devices such as hidden guns and compartments for holding devices.<br />
<br />
*'''Voice:''' Rio's voice is very high pitched, to the point of being a little grating at times. She tends to speak animatedly, cracking friendly jokes, and dispensing pointed sass with the same amount of glee. <br />
<br />
She sounds quite a bit like Fidget from Dust: An Elysian Tale- http://youtu.be/5MdtgOTl60o <br />

<br />
''"Some women just want to see the world burn."''<br />
<br />
:'''Alignment:''' Chaotic Neutral<br />
<br />
:'''Personality:''' Rio has grown up quite a bit since she left Corvus Cinis before the Calamity to travel the skies with Misaio. Although she still tends to act brashly and doesn't always think through what she's doing, Rio now possesses the ability to examine the consequences of her actions. She also no longer has infinite emotional energy to march down and take no prisoners and slaughter everything between her and her goals.<br />
:That said, Rio still possesses a very energetic, childlike personality. She enjoys weaving words into sharp, playful insults; and tends to flirt with most girls and women she meets. She no longer seems like the dunce she used to portray, and although still pretty immature, a fair bit more of her perceptive mind shows through the bubbly facade. <br />
<br />
:'''Morals:''' Rio tends to act in ways that benefit Rio. Though this tends to extend to people that she values, she doesn't pay much mind to those that she doesn't. She tends to care little for the laws of the realm, and tends to commit crimes like robbery or murder without so much a thought for the consequences. After all, if it's good for Rio, it must be good for everyone, right?<br />
<br />
'''Primary Weaponry'''<br />
:Anarchy- An axe with two cermet blades that contains a mechanism that uses fire crystals and ceruleum to supercharge the blades and make them red hot. It is capable of slicing through lesser materials with ease, and is used by Rio as a cutting tool even more than she uses it as a weapon. The blades need to be replaced every now and then, due to the mechanism warping the material.<br />
:Unnamed Magitek Pistol- A pistol that has shown up in many scenes; mainly used by Rio to threaten individuals. It has yet to be shown in battle and is generally used as more of a running gag than a weapon.<br />

:Rio's fighting style, oddly enough, seems to change depending on the relative "power-level" of her opponent. Whether she's holding back or actually loses her more extreme abilities when facing a weaker foe is something that even she's not really sure about. So, she uses multiple combat styles, rated by a rough category of how tough her opponent is.<br />

<br />
'''Chapter 0: Prologue'''<br />
<br />
'''Ancestry''<br />
::Rio's family comes from a long line of Garlean Miqo'te going all the way back to when the former republic was barely formed. An offshoot clan of Seeker of the Sun Miqo'te was one of the first aggressors out of many to attack the fledgling nation. This clan, who's name has been lost to history, was soundly trounced by the formidable fighters of the republican guard; and their leaders were captured. So, in exchange for becoming one of the few allies of Garlemald, the Miqo'te would be allowed to live freely amongst them.<br />
::Over time, this Seeker of the Sun clan's tribal traditions were replaced by those of their Garlean allies, and they became a part of the republic. They cast off the name "Seekers of the Sun" and became Garlemald's own "Children of Steel"; sworn to serve the republic for the rest of their days, They took up traditionally Garlean names and traditions, and a few of them even rose into the nobility of the republic, and later the empire. The Rosch family was one of those families.<br />
<br />
''She's a Magitek Woman''<br />
::Rio van Rosch was born to a pair of Imperial engineers, with her mother hailing from a prestigious house of Children of Steel Miqo'te known as the house of Rosch: and her father being another child of steel who's house name had been lost in the tribe's transition from savage tribals to civilized soldiers of the Empire. The two were wed by their coworkers in a small, abandoned airship hangar in the Bozja Citadel, and for a time, life was good, peaceful even. Perry and Alya carried about their work, toiling for the good of the Empire. After a time, Perry himself was even accepted into the house of Rosch, becoming Perry van Rosch. <br />
::And of course, as such things go, Alya eventually became pregnant by Perry and bore a single daughter, everyone's favorite Rio van Rosch. The small child was blessed, in that she had enough of the pure blood of the Empire to be born with a third eye upon her forehead, as all pureblooded Garelans have. Years passed uneventfully around the small family until the year of Ala Mihgo's fall, when they decided to return to the Rosch Family's seat of influence in Garlemald proper for the sake of young Rio's education.<br />
::Perry and Alya, being the team that they were, were brought on as engineers nearly directly under Cid nan Garlond, a minister of magitek in the capital city. Rio began attending a prestigious school, where she learned the various disciplines that any young Garlean of rank might learn. However, it was Rio's experiences outside her education that would set her course in life. <br />
::Having magiengineers as parents, Rio was exposed frequently to the art and science that is magitek. She found herself fascinated by all the strange and awe-inspiring creations her family had a hand in while working under Cid, and found a craving for knowledge awaken in her. She would locate books on magitek (small ones, she's only nine turns old at this point) and devour the information contained within. Instead of playing with friends like many children her age, Rio would accompany her parents to their work, watching from a safe distance and helping where she could. She met with Cid nan Garlond quite a bit during this time in her life, mainly because they just happened to be in the same place at the same time.<br />
::She was not, however, without friends. Her best friend, Gidget Throttle, shared her enthusiasm for magiengineering, and accompanied her on these trips to the workshops and hangars that she spent so much of her childhood in. <br />
<br />
''This Town is Falling Apart''<br />
::Rio's education in both schooling and magitek continued for many years. The young Miqo'te experienced few troubles, and strife was a thing virtually unheard of. That is, of course, until the Meteor Project ended her happy days of innocent bliss. You see, within the Bozja Citadel lived the vast majority of the Children of Steel Miqo'te. The Rosch family was an oddity in that they preferred life in the capital over life among their fellows in the spiraling, labyrinthine halls and workshops of the citadel. And so, the day Dalamud turned red and vaporized the Bozja Citadel, the Children of Steel miqo'te became an endangered culture where seconds earlier they stood as a flourishing symbol of Garlean might. 70% of the population of the Children were reduced to smoke and ashes within 30 seconds of Dalamud's activation.<br />
::The instant that this tragic event took place, Ferro van Rosch, Rio's grandfather and the head of the Rosch family stormed to the imperial palace, demanding an explanation and upon receiving one, demanded that the project be abandoned. The Emperor shared his sentiments at the time, and the Meteor Project was abandoned. <br />
::After that event, life became tense around the Rosch household; but they continued to have faith in the Garlean Empire they had sworn themselves to. Rio continued her education, albeit with a lessened enthusiasm. She spent more time in the workshops than ever, throwing herself into her magitek education to avoid the pitiful stares and whispered words of her classmates and strangers on the street. It was around this time that Cid and his engineers left to form the Garlond Ironworks in Eorzea. Picking up a number of his projects, the Rosch family toiled on in the service of them Empire; they had sworn an oath, after all. <br />

'''During the Events of A Realm Reborn'''<br />
<br />
Rio suddenly reappeared roughly five years after the calamity at the Cold Moon Gala. Although she didn't end up as a Warrior of Light, she didn't speak of where she had departed to since the calamity happened. However, she did reunite with Alothia and the rest of Corvus Cinis, and rejoined the company the same day. <br />
When Lainseworth approached Corvus, offering a way to regain his voice, Rio participated in a raid into the Haukke Manor to fulfill the requirements to use the dark magic. Outside the manor, she was reunited with Misaio, her captain.<br />

<br />
'''The Desert Moogle Consortium'''<br />
<br />
[[Misaio Imella]]- The individual closest to Rio before she went missing, Rio and Misaio are very close friends. Misaio captains the airship that Rio works on and Rio would follow her into the seven hells if need be. Rio has resumed her work as Misaio's second-in-command, following her orders to the letter. She's also smitten with the woman, though she respects her too much to really act upon it.<br />
<br />
[[Scarlet Willow]]- Another member of Misaio's crew that Rio has only recently met. She thinks of the Roegadyn as a friend and admires her level headedness in a group where slightly off-the-rails individuals such as Misaio and herself tend to be the rule.<br />
<br />
U'zahn Tiia- An U tribe miqo'te that has been visiting the Consortium frequently in recent days. Although the two have radically different views on the world, their arguments are usually playful ones. In the end, they mostly just agree to disagree and get along anyway.<br />
<br />
[[Lainseworth Ravencraft]]- One of Rio's close friends from before the Calamity; Rio is immensely fond of the little Lalafell. She tries to treat him with a measure of respect, given his position and talents as her coworker; but usually is reduced to high pitch squeals and headpats and hugs in his incredibly cute presence. Even having gained the ability to speak, Rio's condition when it comes to Lainse has hardly improved.<br />
<br />
'''Corvus Cinis'''<br />
<br />
[[Alothia Starkwood]]- Rio's boss in Corvus Cinis prior to her departure with Misaio. Rio is immensely loyal to Alothia even now, and would probably still make good on her promise to "melt anyone that hurts her." She was reunited with her after the Calamity and rejoined Alothia's company.<br />
<br />
[[Lily Dawnsworn]]- The second-in-command of Corvus Cinis that Rio loves to tease. Although sometimes Lily can act cold to her, Rio presses on undaunted to make her as silly as the rest of the company. She likes to flirt with her, although she doesn't have much real interest in her romantically.<br />
<br />
[[Vash Ashford]]- An employee of Corvus Cinis Rio met after the calamity. Rio's not quite sure what to make of him yet, but gauges him to be pretty harmless, at least. She's come to believe that the one thing that he does excel at is being a minion or henchman.<br />
<br />
[[Eric Verus]]- An employee of Corvus Cinis that Rio met briefly during a tense encounter with Deirdre. After she found out about his background, she developed a measure of respect for him; to the point where she forged a gunblade for him to use against Souyo, which he promptly broke and lost in the snows of Coerthas. She's somewhat sore about that still.<br />
<br />
[[Souyo Xander]]- A man who was corrupted by the power of a dark crystal and waged a private war against Corvus Cinis. Rio doesn't necessarily enjoy his company, but she sure does enjoy his food. She suspects that he may have some sort of ulterior motive for hanging around the Desert Moogle girls despite his wounds being healed.<br />
<br />
K'oriah Rahjeh- A young Miqo'te girl that Rio met in the company of Souyo. Rio has taken a shine to K'oriah, and tends to act like a big sister to her. <br />
<br />
'''Others'''<br />
<br />
[[Deirdre Ta'ea]]- A former Eorzean Guard member that Rio once served with. Given her propensity for stabbing people and generally threatening nature, Rio tends to be scared stiff of her. She is, in Rio's words, "A terrifying, horrible, super mean, stab-you-in-the-gut, jerk!".<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
*'''Height:''' Slightly on the shorter side, roughly 5'2"<br />
<br />
*'''Weight:''' Roughly average.<br />
<br />
*'''Body:''' Rio is lithely muscled, due to the amount of physical activity that goes with her profession.<br />
<br />
*'''Hair:''' Dark red, with lighter red highlights. She usually wears it tied up in pigtails on the front of her head.<br />
<br />
*'''Eyes:''' Deep red, with a tinge of dark brown. She also has a pure white eye located on her forehead that she tends to comb her hair over to keep it hidden.<br />
<br />
*'''Skin:''' Somewhat tanned. She tends to tan easier than she burns. She also has freckles. Yes, she probably always had them. Shut up.<br />
<br />
*'''Clothing: ''' Rio tends to wear lighter, more comfortable fabrics; oftentimes showing a lot of skin. This is due to her work environment normally being a stuffy, hot, airship engine room. She also usually has some sort of explosive or device stuffed into every nook and cranny of her outfit, and usually modifies them with extra straps or secret pockets to facilitate cramming even MORE volatile devices onto her person. (Such as storing sticks of dynamite in the heels of her boots.)<br />
:When working, however, she tends to favor heavy sets of plate armor. She usually modifies this armor with a number of devices such as hidden guns and compartments for holding devices.<br />
<br />
*'''Voice:''' Rio's voice is very high pitched, to the point of being a little grating at times. She tends to speak animatedly, cracking friendly jokes, and dispensing pointed sass with the same amount of glee. <br />
<br />
She sounds quite a bit like Fidget from Dust: An Elysian Tale- http://youtu.be/5MdtgOTl60o <br />

<br />
''"Some women just want to see the world burn."''<br />
<br />
:'''Alignment:''' Chaotic Neutral<br />
<br />
:'''Personality:''' Rio has grown up quite a bit since she left Corvus Cinis before the Calamity to travel the skies with Misaio. Although she still tends to act brashly and doesn't always think through what she's doing, Rio now possesses the ability to examine the consequences of her actions. She also no longer has infinite emotional energy to march down and take no prisoners and slaughter everything between her and her goals.<br />
:That said, Rio still possesses a very energetic, childlike personality. She enjoys weaving words into sharp, playful insults; and tends to flirt with most girls and women she meets. She no longer seems like the dunce she used to portray, and although still pretty immature, a fair bit more of her perceptive mind shows through the bubbly facade. <br />
<br />
:'''Morals:''' Rio tends to act in ways that benefit Rio. Though this tends to extend to people that she values, she doesn't pay much mind to those that she doesn't. She tends to care little for the laws of the realm, and tends to commit crimes like robbery or murder without so much a thought for the consequences. After all, if it's good for Rio, it must be good for everyone, right?<br />
<br />
'''Primary Weaponry'''<br />
:Anarchy- An axe with two cermet blades that contains a mechanism that uses fire crystals and ceruleum to supercharge the blades and make them red hot. It is capable of slicing through lesser materials with ease, and is used by Rio as a cutting tool even more than she uses it as a weapon. The blades need to be replaced every now and then, due to the mechanism warping the material.<br />
:Unnamed Magitek Pistol- A pistol that has shown up in many scenes; mainly used by Rio to threaten individuals. It has yet to be shown in battle and is generally used as more of a running gag than a weapon.<br />

:Rio's fighting style, oddly enough, seems to change depending on the relative "power-level" of her opponent. Whether she's holding back or actually loses her more extreme abilities when facing a weaker foe is something that even she's not really sure about. So, she uses multiple combat styles, rated by a rough category of how tough her opponent is.<br />

'''Chapter 0: Prologue'''<br />
<br />
'''Ancestry''<br />
::Rio's family comes from a long line of Garlean Miqo'te going all the way back to when the former republic was barely formed. An offshoot clan of Seeker of the Sun Miqo'te was one of the first aggressors out of many to attack the fledgling nation. This clan, who's name has been lost to history, was soundly trounced by the formidable fighters of the republican guard; and their leaders were captured. So, in exchange for becoming one of the few allies of Garlemald, the Miqo'te would be allowed to live freely amongst them.<br />
::Over time, this Seeker of the Sun clan's tribal traditions were replaced by those of their Garlean allies, and they became a part of the republic. They cast off the name "Seekers of the Sun" and became Garlemald's own "Children of Steel"; sworn to serve the republic for the rest of their days, They took up traditionally Garlean names and traditions, and a few of them even rose into the nobility of the republic, and later the empire. The Rosch family was one of those families.<br />
<br />
''She's a Magitek Woman''<br />
::Rio van Rosch was born to a pair of Imperial engineers, with her mother hailing from a prestigious house of Children of Steel Miqo'te known as the house of Rosch: and her father being another child of steel who's house name had been lost in the tribe's transition from savage tribals to civilized soldiers of the Empire. The two were wed by their coworkers in a small, abandoned airship hangar in the Bozja Citadel, and for a time, life was good, peaceful even. Perry and Alya carried about their work, toiling for the good of the Empire. After a time, Perry himself was even accepted into the house of Rosch, becoming Perry van Rosch. <br />
::And of course, as such things go, Alya eventually became pregnant by Perry and bore a single daughter, everyone's favorite Rio van Rosch. The small child was blessed, in that she had enough of the pure blood of the Empire to be born with a third eye upon her forehead, as all pureblooded Garelans have. Years passed uneventfully around the small family until the year of Ala Mihgo's fall, when they decided to return to the Rosch Family's seat of influence in Garlemald proper for the sake of young Rio's education.<br />
::Perry and Alya, being the team that they were, were brought on as engineers nearly directly under Cid nan Garlond, a minister of magitek in the capital city. Rio began attending a prestigious school, where she learned the various disciplines that any young Garlean of rank might learn. However, it was Rio's experiences outside her education that would set her course in life. <br />
::Having magiengineers as parents, Rio was exposed frequently to the art and science that is magitek. She found herself fascinated by all the strange and awe-inspiring creations her family had a hand in while working under Cid, and found a craving for knowledge awaken in her. She would locate books on magitek (small ones, she's only nine turns old at this point) and devour the information contained within. Instead of playing with friends like many children her age, Rio would accompany her parents to their work, watching from a safe distance and helping where she could. She met with Cid nan Garlond quite a bit during this time in her life, mainly because they just happened to be in the same place at the same time.<br />
::She was not, however, without friends. Her best friend, Gidget Throttle, shared her enthusiasm for magiengineering, and accompanied her on these trips to the workshops and hangars that she spent so much of her childhood in. <br />
<br />
''This Town is Falling Apart''<br />
::Rio's education in both schooling and magitek continued for many years. The young Miqo'te experienced few troubles, and strife was a thing virtually unheard of. That is, of course, until the Meteor Project ended her happy days of innocent bliss. You see, within the Bozja Citadel lived the vast majority of the Children of Steel Miqo'te. The Rosch family was an oddity in that they preferred life in the capital over life among their fellows in the spiraling, labyrinthine halls and workshops of the citadel. And so, the day Dalamud turned red and vaporized the Bozja Citadel, the Children of Steel miqo'te became an endangered culture where seconds earlier they stood as a flourishing symbol of Garlean might. 70% of the population of the Children were reduced to smoke and ashes within 30 seconds of Dalamud's activation.<br />
::The instant that this tragic event took place, Ferro van Rosch, Rio's grandfather and the head of the Rosch family stormed to the imperial palace, demanding an explanation and upon receiving one, demanded that the project be abandoned. The Emperor shared his sentiments at the time, and the Meteor Project was abandoned. <br />
::After that event, life became tense around the Rosch household; but they continued to have faith in the Garlean Empire they had sworn themselves to. Rio continued her education, albeit with a lessened enthusiasm. She spent more time in the workshops than ever, throwing herself into her magitek education to avoid the pitiful stares and whispered words of her classmates and strangers on the street. It was around this time that Cid and his engineers left to form the Garlond Ironworks in Eorzea. Picking up a number of his projects, the Rosch family toiled on in the service of them Empire; they had sworn an oath, after all. <br />

'''During the Events of A Realm Reborn'''<br />
<br />
Rio suddenly reappeared roughly five years after the calamity at the Cold Moon Gala. Although she didn't end up as a Warrior of Light, she didn't speak of where she had departed to since the calamity happened. However, she did reunite with Alothia and the rest of Corvus Cinis, and rejoined the company the same day. <br />
When Lainseworth approached Corvus, offering a way to regain his voice, Rio participated in a raid into the Haukke Manor to fulfill the requirements to use the dark magic. Outside the manor, she was reunited with Misaio, her captain.<br />

<br />
'''The Desert Moogle Consortium'''<br />
<br />
[[Misaio Imella]]- The individual closest to Rio before she went missing, Rio and Misaio are very close friends. Misaio captains the airship that Rio works on and Rio would follow her into the seven hells if need be. Rio has resumed her work as Misaio's second-in-command, following her orders to the letter. She's also smitten with the woman, though she respects her too much to really act upon it.<br />
<br />
[[Scarlet Willow]]- Another member of Misaio's crew that Rio has only recently met. She thinks of the Roegadyn as a friend and admires her level headedness in a group where slightly off-the-rails individuals such as Misaio and herself tend to be the rule.<br />
<br />
U'zahn Tiia- An U tribe miqo'te that has been visiting the Consortium frequently in recent days. Although the two have radically different views on the world, their arguments are usually playful ones. In the end, they mostly just agree to disagree and get along anyway.<br />
<br />
[[Lainseworth Ravencraft]]- One of Rio's close friends from before the Calamity; Rio is immensely fond of the little Lalafell. She tries to treat him with a measure of respect, given his position and talents as her coworker; but usually is reduced to high pitch squeals and headpats and hugs in his incredibly cute presence. Even having gained the ability to speak, Rio's condition when it comes to Lainse has hardly improved.<br />
<br />
'''Corvus Cinis'''<br />
<br />
[[Alothia Starkwood]]- Rio's boss in Corvus Cinis prior to her departure with Misaio. Rio is immensely loyal to Alothia even now, and would probably still make good on her promise to "melt anyone that hurts her." She was reunited with her after the Calamity and rejoined Alothia's company.<br />
<br />
[[Lily Dawnsworn]]- The second-in-command of Corvus Cinis that Rio loves to tease. Although sometimes Lily can act cold to her, Rio presses on undaunted to make her as silly as the rest of the company. She likes to flirt with her, although she doesn't have much real interest in her romantically.<br />
<br />
[[Vash Ashford]]- An employee of Corvus Cinis Rio met after the calamity. Rio's not quite sure what to make of him yet, but gauges him to be pretty harmless, at least. She's come to believe that the one thing that he does excel at is being a minion or henchman.<br />
<br />
[[Eric Verus]]- An employee of Corvus Cinis that Rio met briefly during a tense encounter with Deirdre. After she found out about his background, she developed a measure of respect for him; to the point where she forged a gunblade for him to use against Souyo, which he promptly broke and lost in the snows of Coerthas. She's somewhat sore about that still.<br />
<br />
[[Souyo Xander]]- A man who was corrupted by the power of a dark crystal and waged a private war against Corvus Cinis. Rio doesn't necessarily enjoy his company, but she sure does enjoy his food. She suspects that he may have some sort of ulterior motive for hanging around the Desert Moogle girls despite his wounds being healed.<br />
<br />
K'oriah Rahjeh- A young Miqo'te girl that Rio met in the company of Souyo. Rio has taken a shine to K'oriah, and tends to act like a big sister to her. <br />
<br />
'''Others'''<br />
<br />
[[Deirdre Ta'ea]]- A former Eorzean Guard member that Rio once served with. Given her propensity for stabbing people and generally threatening nature, Rio tends to be scared stiff of her. She is, in Rio's words, "A terrifying, horrible, super mean, stab-you-in-the-gut, jerk!".<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
*'''Height:''' Slightly on the shorter side, roughly 5'2"<br />
<br />
*'''Weight:''' Roughly average.<br />
<br />
*'''Body:''' Rio is lithely muscled, due to the amount of physical activity that goes with her profession.<br />
<br />
*'''Hair:''' Dark red, with lighter red highlights. She usually wears it tied up in pigtails on the front of her head.<br />
<br />
*'''Eyes:''' Deep red, with a tinge of dark brown. She also has a pure white eye located on her forehead that she tends to comb her hair over to keep it hidden.<br />
<br />
*'''Skin:''' Somewhat tanned. She tends to tan easier than she burns. She also has freckles. Yes, she probably always had them. Shut up.<br />
<br />
*'''Clothing: ''' Rio tends to wear lighter, more comfortable fabrics; oftentimes showing a lot of skin. This is due to her work environment normally being a stuffy, hot, airship engine room. She also usually has some sort of explosive or device stuffed into every nook and cranny of her outfit, and usually modifies them with extra straps or secret pockets to facilitate cramming even MORE volatile devices onto her person. (Such as storing sticks of dynamite in the heels of her boots.)<br />
:When working, however, she tends to favor heavy sets of plate armor. She usually modifies this armor with a number of devices such as hidden guns and compartments for holding devices.<br />
<br />
*'''Voice:''' Rio's voice is very high pitched, to the point of being a little grating at times. She tends to speak animatedly, cracking friendly jokes, and dispensing pointed sass with the same amount of glee. <br />
<br />
She sounds quite a bit like Fidget from Dust: An Elysian Tale- http://youtu.be/5MdtgOTl60o <br />

<br />
''"Some women just want to see the world burn."''<br />
<br />
:'''Alignment:''' Chaotic Neutral<br />
<br />
:'''Personality:''' Rio has grown up quite a bit since she left Corvus Cinis before the Calamity to travel the skies with Misaio. Although she still tends to act brashly and doesn't always think through what she's doing, Rio now possesses the ability to examine the consequences of her actions. She also no longer has infinite emotional energy to march down and take no prisoners and slaughter everything between her and her goals.<br />
:That said, Rio still possesses a very energetic, childlike personality. She enjoys weaving words into sharp, playful insults; and tends to flirt with most girls and women she meets. She no longer seems like the dunce she used to portray, and although still pretty immature, a fair bit more of her perceptive mind shows through the bubbly facade. <br />
<br />
:'''Morals:''' Rio tends to act in ways that benefit Rio. Though this tends to extend to people that she values, she doesn't pay much mind to those that she doesn't. She tends to care little for the laws of the realm, and tends to commit crimes like robbery or murder without so much a thought for the consequences. After all, if it's good for Rio, it must be good for everyone, right?<br />
<br />
'''Primary Weaponry'''<br />
:Anarchy- An axe with two cermet blades that contains a mechanism that uses fire crystals and ceruleum to supercharge the blades and make them red hot. It is capable of slicing through lesser materials with ease, and is used by Rio as a cutting tool even more than she uses it as a weapon. The blades need to be replaced every now and then, due to the mechanism warping the material.<br />
:Unnamed Magitek Pistol- A pistol that has shown up in many scenes; mainly used by Rio to threaten individuals. It has yet to be shown in battle and is generally used as more of a running gag than a weapon.<br />

::Due to the heavily militaristic culture of the Empire, Rio has trained in an array of martial disciplines from a young age. However, she shows an aptitude for the axe especially; which she wields with deadly, and painfully obvious, force. She's also a fairly good shot; though her strengths in that field place her more in the heat of a firefight than sniping from a distance. <br />

::Also due to being a Garlean, Rio's natural aptitude for magic is somewhere between that of a rock and a ziz. While magic's not impossible for her, it's hard enough that she tends not to bother with it when she could really do anything with technology that magic would let her do. <br />

'''Chapter 0: Prologue'''<br />
<br />
'''Ancestry''<br />
::Rio's family comes from a long line of Garlean Miqo'te going all the way back to when the former republic was barely formed. An offshoot clan of Seeker of the Sun Miqo'te was one of the first aggressors out of many to attack the fledgling nation. This clan, who's name has been lost to history, was soundly trounced by the formidable fighters of the republican guard; and their leaders were captured. So, in exchange for becoming one of the few allies of Garlemald, the Miqo'te would be allowed to live freely amongst them.<br />
::Over time, this Seeker of the Sun clan's tribal traditions were replaced by those of their Garlean allies, and they became a part of the republic. They cast off the name "Seekers of the Sun" and became Garlemald's own "Children of Steel"; sworn to serve the republic for the rest of their days, They took up traditionally Garlean names and traditions, and a few of them even rose into the nobility of the republic, and later the empire. The Rosch family was one of those families.<br />
<br />
''She's a Magitek Woman''<br />
::Rio van Rosch was born to a pair of Imperial engineers, with her mother hailing from a prestigious house of Children of Steel Miqo'te known as the house of Rosch: and her father being another child of steel who's house name had been lost in the tribe's transition from savage tribals to civilized soldiers of the Empire. The two were wed by their coworkers in a small, abandoned airship hangar in the Bozja Citadel, and for a time, life was good, peaceful even. Perry and Alya carried about their work, toiling for the good of the Empire. After a time, Perry himself was even accepted into the house of Rosch, becoming Perry van Rosch. <br />
::And of course, as such things go, Alya eventually became pregnant by Perry and bore a single daughter, everyone's favorite Rio van Rosch. The small child was blessed, in that she had enough of the pure blood of the Empire to be born with a third eye upon her forehead, as all pureblooded Garelans have. Years passed uneventfully around the small family until the year of Ala Mihgo's fall, when they decided to return to the Rosch Family's seat of influence in Garlemald proper for the sake of young Rio's education.<br />
::Perry and Alya, being the team that they were, were brought on as engineers nearly directly under Cid nan Garlond, a minister of magitek in the capital city. Rio began attending a prestigious school, where she learned the various disciplines that any young Garlean of rank might learn. However, it was Rio's experiences outside her education that would set her course in life. <br />
::Having magiengineers as parents, Rio was exposed frequently to the art and science that is magitek. She found herself fascinated by all the strange and awe-inspiring creations her family had a hand in while working under Cid, and found a craving for knowledge awaken in her. She would locate books on magitek (small ones, she's only nine turns old at this point) and devour the information contained within. Instead of playing with friends like many children her age, Rio would accompany her parents to their work, watching from a safe distance and helping where she could. She met with Cid nan Garlond quite a bit during this time in her life, mainly because they just happened to be in the same place at the same time.<br />
::She was not, however, without friends. Her best friend, Gidget Throttle, shared her enthusiasm for magiengineering, and accompanied her on these trips to the workshops and hangars that she spent so much of her childhood in. <br />
<br />
''This Town is Falling Apart''<br />
::Rio's education in both schooling and magitek continued for many years. The young Miqo'te experienced few troubles, and strife was a thing virtually unheard of. That is, of course, until the Meteor Project ended her happy days of innocent bliss. You see, within the Bozja Citadel lived the vast majority of the Children of Steel Miqo'te. The Rosch family was an oddity in that they preferred life in the capital over life among their fellows in the spiraling, labyrinthine halls and workshops of the citadel. And so, the day Dalamud turned red and vaporized the Bozja Citadel, the Children of Steel miqo'te became an endangered culture where seconds earlier they stood as a flourishing symbol of Garlean might. 70% of the population of the Children were reduced to smoke and ashes within 30 seconds of Dalamud's activation.<br />
::The instant that this tragic event took place, Ferro van Rosch, Rio's grandfather and the head of the Rosch family stormed to the imperial palace, demanding an explanation and upon receiving one, demanded that the project be abandoned. The Emperor shared his sentiments at the time, and the Meteor Project was abandoned. <br />
::After that event, life became tense around the Rosch household; but they continued to have faith in the Garlean Empire they had sworn themselves to. Rio continued her education, albeit with a lessened enthusiasm. She spent more time in the workshops than ever, throwing herself into her magitek education to avoid the pitiful stares and whispered words of her classmates and strangers on the street. It was around this time that Cid and his engineers left to form the Garlond Ironworks in Eorzea. Picking up a number of his projects, the Rosch family toiled on in the service of them Empire; they had sworn an oath, after all. <br />

'''During the Events of A Realm Reborn'''<br />
<br />
Rio suddenly reappeared roughly five years after the calamity at the Cold Moon Gala. Although she didn't end up as a Warrior of Light, she didn't speak of where she had departed to since the calamity happened. However, she did reunite with Alothia and the rest of Corvus Cinis, and rejoined the company the same day. <br />
When Lainseworth approached Corvus, offering a way to regain his voice, Rio participated in a raid into the Haukke Manor to fulfill the requirements to use the dark magic. Outside the manor, she was reunited with Misaio, her captain.<br />

<br />
'''The Desert Moogle Consortium'''<br />
<br />
[[Misaio Imella]]- The individual closest to Rio before she went missing, Rio and Misaio are very close friends. Misaio captains the airship that Rio works on and Rio would follow her into the seven hells if need be. Rio has resumed her work as Misaio's second-in-command, following her orders to the letter. She's also smitten with the woman, though she respects her too much to really act upon it.<br />
<br />
[[Scarlet Willow]]- Another member of Misaio's crew that Rio has only recently met. She thinks of the Roegadyn as a friend and admires her level headedness in a group where slightly off-the-rails individuals such as Misaio and herself tend to be the rule.<br />
<br />
U'zahn Tiia- An U tribe miqo'te that has been visiting the Consortium frequently in recent days. Although the two have radically different views on the world, their arguments are usually playful ones. In the end, they mostly just agree to disagree and get along anyway.<br />
<br />
[[Lainseworth Ravencraft]]- One of Rio's close friends from before the Calamity; Rio is immensely fond of the little Lalafell. She tries to treat him with a measure of respect, given his position and talents as her coworker; but usually is reduced to high pitch squeals and headpats and hugs in his incredibly cute presence. Even having gained the ability to speak, Rio's condition when it comes to Lainse has hardly improved.<br />
<br />
'''Corvus Cinis'''<br />
<br />
[[Alothia Starkwood]]- Rio's boss in Corvus Cinis prior to her departure with Misaio. Rio is immensely loyal to Alothia even now, and would probably still make good on her promise to "melt anyone that hurts her." She was reunited with her after the Calamity and rejoined Alothia's company.<br />
<br />
[[Lily Dawnsworn]]- The second-in-command of Corvus Cinis that Rio loves to tease. Although sometimes Lily can act cold to her, Rio presses on undaunted to make her as silly as the rest of the company. She likes to flirt with her, although she doesn't have much real interest in her romantically.<br />
<br />
[[Vash Ashford]]- An employee of Corvus Cinis Rio met after the calamity. Rio's not quite sure what to make of him yet, but gauges him to be pretty harmless, at least. She's come to believe that the one thing that he does excel at is being a minion or henchman.<br />
<br />
[[Eric Verus]]- An employee of Corvus Cinis that Rio met briefly during a tense encounter with Deirdre. After she found out about his background, she developed a measure of respect for him; to the point where she forged a gunblade for him to use against Souyo, which he promptly broke and lost in the snows of Coerthas. She's somewhat sore about that still.<br />
<br />
[[Souyo Xander]]- A man who was corrupted by the power of a dark crystal and waged a private war against Corvus Cinis. Rio doesn't necessarily enjoy his company, but she sure does enjoy his food. She suspects that he may have some sort of ulterior motive for hanging around the Desert Moogle girls despite his wounds being healed.<br />
<br />
K'oriah Rahjeh- A young Miqo'te girl that Rio met in the company of Souyo. Rio has taken a shine to K'oriah, and tends to act like a big sister to her. <br />
<br />
'''Others'''<br />
<br />
[[Deirdre Ta'ea]]- A former Eorzean Guard member that Rio once served with. Given her propensity for stabbing people and generally threatening nature, Rio tends to be scared stiff of her. She is, in Rio's words, "A terrifying, horrible, super mean, stab-you-in-the-gut, jerk!".<br />

<br />
*'''Weight:''' Roughly average.<br />
<br />
*'''Body:''' Rio is lithely muscled, due to the amount of physical activity that goes with her profession.<br />
<br />
*'''Hair:''' Dark red, with lighter red highlights. She usually wears it tied up in pigtails on the front of her head.<br />
<br />
*'''Eyes:''' Deep red, with a tinge of dark brown. She also has a pure white eye located on her forehead that she tends to comb her hair over to keep it hidden.<br />
<br />
*'''Skin:''' Somewhat tanned. She tends to tan easier than she burns. She also has freckles. Yes, she probably always had them. Shut up.<br />
<br />
*'''Clothing: ''' Rio tends to wear lighter, more comfortable fabrics; oftentimes showing a lot of skin. This is due to her work environment normally being a stuffy, hot, airship engine room. She also usually has some sort of explosive or device stuffed into every nook and cranny of her outfit, and usually modifies them with extra straps or secret pockets to facilitate cramming even MORE volatile devices onto her person. (Such as storing sticks of dynamite in the heels of her boots.)<br />
:When working, however, she tends to favor heavy sets of plate armor. She usually modifies this armor with a number of devices such as hidden guns and compartments for holding devices.<br />

<br />
:'''Alignment:''' Chaotic Neutral<br />
<br />
:'''Personality:''' Rio has grown up quite a bit since she left Corvus Cinis before the Calamity to travel the skies with Misaio. Although she still tends to act brashly and doesn't always think through what she's doing, Rio now possesses the ability to examine the consequences of her actions. She also no longer has infinite emotional energy to march down and take no prisoners and slaughter everything between her and her goals.<br />
:That said, Rio still possesses a very energetic, childlike personality. She enjoys weaving words into sharp, playful insults; and tends to flirt with most girls and women she meets. She no longer seems like the dunce she used to portray, and although still pretty immature, a fair bit more of her perceptive mind shows through the bubbly facade. <br />
<br />
:'''Morals:''' Rio tends to act in ways that benefit Rio. Though this tends to extend to people that she values, she doesn't pay much mind to those that she doesn't. She tends to care little for the laws of the realm, and tends to commit crimes like robbery or murder without so much a thought for the consequences. After all, if it's good for Rio, it must be good for everyone, right?<br />
<br />
'''Primary Weaponry'''<br />
:Anarchy- An axe with two cermet blades that contains a mechanism that uses fire crystals and ceruleum to supercharge the blades and make them red hot. It is capable of slicing through lesser materials with ease, and is used by Rio as a cutting tool even more than she uses it as a weapon. The blades need to be replaced every now and then, due to the mechanism warping the material.<br />
:Unnamed Magitek Pistol- A pistol that has shown up in many scenes; mainly used by Rio to threaten individuals. It has yet to be shown in battle and is generally used as more of a running gag than a weapon.<br />

::Due to the heavily militaristic culture of the Empire, Rio has trained in an array of martial disciplines from a young age. However, she shows an aptitude for the axe especially; which she wields with deadly, and painfully obvious, force. She's also a fairly good shot; though her strengths in that field place her more in the heat of a firefight than sniping from a distance. <br />

::Also due to being a Garlean, Rio's natural aptitude for magic is somewhere between that of a rock and a ziz. While magic's not impossible for her, it's hard enough that she tends not to bother with it when she could really do anything with technology that magic would let her do. <br />

'''Chapter 0: Prologue'''<br />
<br />
'''Ancestry''<br />
::Rio's family comes from a long line of Garlean Miqo'te going all the way back to when the former republic was barely formed. An offshoot clan of Seeker of the Sun Miqo'te was one of the first aggressors out of many to attack the fledgling nation. This clan, who's name has been lost to history, was soundly trounced by the formidable fighters of the republican guard; and their leaders were captured. So, in exchange for becoming one of the few allies of Garlemald, the Miqo'te would be allowed to live freely amongst them.<br />
::Over time, this Seeker of the Sun clan's tribal traditions were replaced by those of their Garlean allies, and they became a part of the republic. They cast off the name "Seekers of the Sun" and became Garlemald's own "Children of Steel"; sworn to serve the republic for the rest of their days, They took up traditionally Garlean names and traditions, and a few of them even rose into the nobility of the republic, and later the empire. The Rosch family was one of those families.<br />
<br />
''She's a Magitek Woman''<br />
::Rio van Rosch was born to a pair of Imperial engineers, with her mother hailing from a prestigious house of Children of Steel Miqo'te known as the house of Rosch: and her father being another child of steel who's house name had been lost in the tribe's transition from savage tribals to civilized soldiers of the Empire. The two were wed by their coworkers in a small, abandoned airship hangar in the Bozja Citadel, and for a time, life was good, peaceful even. Perry and Alya carried about their work, toiling for the good of the Empire. After a time, Perry himself was even accepted into the house of Rosch, becoming Perry van Rosch. <br />
::And of course, as such things go, Alya eventually became pregnant by Perry and bore a single daughter, everyone's favorite Rio van Rosch. The small child was blessed, in that she had enough of the pure blood of the Empire to be born with a third eye upon her forehead, as all pureblooded Garelans have. Years passed uneventfully around the small family until the year of Ala Mihgo's fall, when they decided to return to the Rosch Family's seat of influence in Garlemald proper for the sake of young Rio's education.<br />
::Perry and Alya, being the team that they were, were brought on as engineers nearly directly under Cid nan Garlond, a minister of magitek in the capital city. Rio began attending a prestigious school, where she learned the various disciplines that any young Garlean of rank might learn. However, it was Rio's experiences outside her education that would set her course in life. <br />
::Having magiengineers as parents, Rio was exposed frequently to the art and science that is magitek. She found herself fascinated by all the strange and awe-inspiring creations her family had a hand in while working under Cid, and found a craving for knowledge awaken in her. She would locate books on magitek (small ones, she's only nine turns old at this point) and devour the information contained within. Instead of playing with friends like many children her age, Rio would accompany her parents to their work, watching from a safe distance and helping where she could. She met with Cid nan Garlond quite a bit during this time in her life, mainly because they just happened to be in the same place at the same time.<br />
::She was not, however, without friends. Her best friend, Gidget Throttle, shared her enthusiasm for magiengineering, and accompanied her on these trips to the workshops and hangars that she spent so much of her childhood in. <br />
<br />
''This Town is Falling Apart''<br />
::Rio's education in both schooling and magitek continued for many years. The young Miqo'te experienced few troubles, and strife was a thing virtually unheard of. That is, of course, until the Meteor Project ended her happy days of innocent bliss. You see, within the Bozja Citadel lived the vast majority of the Children of Steel Miqo'te. The Rosch family was an oddity in that they preferred life in the capital over life among their fellows in the spiraling, labyrinthine halls and workshops of the citadel. And so, the day Dalamud turned red and vaporized the Bozja Citadel, the Children of Steel miqo'te became an endangered culture where seconds earlier they stood as a flourishing symbol of Garlean might. 70% of the population of the Children were reduced to smoke and ashes within 30 seconds of Dalamud's activation.<br />
::The instant that this tragic event took place, Ferro van Rosch, Rio's grandfather and the head of the Rosch family stormed to the imperial palace, demanding an explanation and upon receiving one, demanded that the project be abandoned. The Emperor shared his sentiments at the time, and the Meteor Project was abandoned. <br />
::After that event, life became tense around the Rosch household; but they continued to have faith in the Garlean Empire they had sworn themselves to. Rio continued her education, albeit with a lessened enthusiasm. She spent more time in the workshops than ever, throwing herself into her magitek education to avoid the pitiful stares and whispered words of her classmates and strangers on the street. It was around this time that Cid and his engineers left to form the Garlond Ironworks in Eorzea. Picking up a number of his projects, the Rosch family toiled on in the service of them Empire; they had sworn an oath, after all. <br />

'''During the Events of A Realm Reborn'''<br />
<br />
Rio suddenly reappeared roughly five years after the calamity at the Cold Moon Gala. Although she didn't end up as a Warrior of Light, she didn't speak of where she had departed to since the calamity happened. However, she did reunite with Alothia and the rest of Corvus Cinis, and rejoined the company the same day. <br />
When Lainseworth approached Corvus, offering a way to regain his voice, Rio participated in a raid into the Haukke Manor to fulfill the requirements to use the dark magic. Outside the manor, she was reunited with Misaio, her captain.<br />

<br />
'''The Desert Moogle Consortium'''<br />
<br />
[[Misaio Imella]]- The individual closest to Rio before she went missing, Rio and Misaio are very close friends. Misaio captains the airship that Rio works on and Rio would follow her into the seven hells if need be. Rio has resumed her work as Misaio's second-in-command, following her orders to the letter. She's also smitten with the woman, though she respects her too much to really act upon it.<br />
<br />
[[Scarlet Willow]]- Another member of Misaio's crew that Rio has only recently met. She thinks of the Roegadyn as a friend and admires her level headedness in a group where slightly off-the-rails individuals such as Misaio and herself tend to be the rule.<br />
<br />
U'zahn Tiia- An U tribe miqo'te that has been visiting the Consortium frequently in recent days. Although the two have radically different views on the world, their arguments are usually playful ones. In the end, they mostly just agree to disagree and get along anyway.<br />
<br />
[[Lainseworth Ravencraft]]- One of Rio's close friends from before the Calamity; Rio is immensely fond of the little Lalafell. She tries to treat him with a measure of respect, given his position and talents as her coworker; but usually is reduced to high pitch squeals and headpats and hugs in his incredibly cute presence. Even having gained the ability to speak, Rio's condition when it comes to Lainse has hardly improved.<br />
<br />
'''Corvus Cinis'''<br />
<br />
[[Alothia Starkwood]]- Rio's boss in Corvus Cinis prior to her departure with Misaio. Rio is immensely loyal to Alothia even now, and would probably still make good on her promise to "melt anyone that hurts her." She was reunited with her after the Calamity and rejoined Alothia's company.<br />
<br />
[[Lily Dawnsworn]]- The second-in-command of Corvus Cinis that Rio loves to tease. Although sometimes Lily can act cold to her, Rio presses on undaunted to make her as silly as the rest of the company. She likes to flirt with her, although she doesn't have much real interest in her romantically.<br />
<br />
[[Vash Ashford]]- An employee of Corvus Cinis Rio met after the calamity. Rio's not quite sure what to make of him yet, but gauges him to be pretty harmless, at least. She's come to believe that the one thing that he does excel at is being a minion or henchman.<br />
<br />
[[Eric Verus]]- An employee of Corvus Cinis that Rio met briefly during a tense encounter with Deirdre. After she found out about his background, she developed a measure of respect for him; to the point where she forged a gunblade for him to use against Souyo, which he promptly broke and lost in the snows of Coerthas. She's somewhat sore about that still.<br />
<br />
[[Souyo Xander]]- A man who was corrupted by the power of a dark crystal and waged a private war against Corvus Cinis. Rio doesn't necessarily enjoy his company, but she sure does enjoy his food. She suspects that he may have some sort of ulterior motive for hanging around the Desert Moogle girls despite his wounds being healed.<br />
<br />
K'oriah Rahjeh- A young Miqo'te girl that Rio met in the company of Souyo. Rio has taken a shine to K'oriah, and tends to act like a big sister to her. <br />
<br />
'''Others'''<br />
<br />
[[Deirdre Ta'ea]]- A former Eorzean Guard member that Rio once served with. Given her propensity for stabbing people and generally threatening nature, Rio tends to be scared stiff of her. She is, in Rio's words, "A terrifying, horrible, super mean, stab-you-in-the-gut, jerk!".<br />

<br />
*'''Height:''' Slightly on the shorter side, roughly 5'2"<br />
<br />
*'''Weight:''' Roughly average.<br />
<br />
*'''Body:''' Rio is lithely muscled, due to the amount of physical activity that goes with her profession.<br />
<br />
*'''Hair:''' Dark red, with lighter red highlights. She usually wears it tied up in pigtails on the front of her head.<br />
<br />
*'''Eyes:''' Deep red, with a tinge of dark brown. She also has a pure white eye located on her forehead that she tends to comb her hair over to keep it hidden.<br />
<br />
*'''Skin:''' Somewhat tanned. She tends to tan easier than she burns. She also has freckles. Yes, she probably always had them. Shut up.<br />
<br />
*'''Clothing: ''' Rio tends to wear lighter, more comfortable fabrics; oftentimes showing a lot of skin. This is due to her work environment normally being a stuffy, hot, airship engine room. She also usually has some sort of explosive or device stuffed into every nook and cranny of her outfit, and usually modifies them with extra straps or secret pockets to facilitate cramming even MORE volatile devices onto her person. (Such as storing sticks of dynamite in the heels of her boots.)<br />
:When working, however, she tends to favor heavy sets of plate armor. She usually modifies this armor with a number of devices such as hidden guns and compartments for holding devices.<br />

<br />
''"Some women just want to see the world burn."''<br />
<br />
:'''Alignment:''' Chaotic Neutral<br />
<br />
:'''Personality:''' Rio has grown up quite a bit since she left Corvus Cinis before the Calamity to travel the skies with Misaio. Although she still tends to act brashly and doesn't always think through what she's doing, Rio now possesses the ability to examine the consequences of her actions. She also no longer has infinite emotional energy to march down and take no prisoners and slaughter everything between her and her goals.<br />
:That said, Rio still possesses a very energetic, childlike personality. She enjoys weaving words into sharp, playful insults; and tends to flirt with most girls and women she meets. She no longer seems like the dunce she used to portray, and although still pretty immature, a fair bit more of her perceptive mind shows through the bubbly facade. <br />
<br />
:'''Morals:''' Rio tends to act in ways that benefit Rio. Though this tends to extend to people that she values, she doesn't pay much mind to those that she doesn't. She tends to care little for the laws of the realm, and tends to commit crimes like robbery or murder without so much a thought for the consequences. After all, if it's good for Rio, it must be good for everyone, right?<br />
<br />
'''Primary Weaponry'''<br />
:Anarchy- An axe with two cermet blades that contains a mechanism that uses fire crystals and ceruleum to supercharge the blades and make them red hot. It is capable of slicing through lesser materials with ease, and is used by Rio as a cutting tool even more than she uses it as a weapon. The blades need to be replaced every now and then, due to the mechanism warping the material.<br />
:Unnamed Magitek Pistol- A pistol that has shown up in many scenes; mainly used by Rio to threaten individuals. It has yet to be shown in battle and is generally used as more of a running gag than a weapon.<br />

::Due to the heavily militaristic culture of the Empire, Rio has trained in an array of martial disciplines from a young age. However, she shows an aptitude for the axe especially; which she wields with deadly, and painfully obvious, force. She's also a fairly good shot; though her strengths in that field place her more in the heat of a firefight than sniping from a distance. <br />

::Also due to being a Garlean, Rio's natural aptitude for magic is somewhere between that of a rock and a ziz. While magic's not impossible for her, it's hard enough that she tends not to bother with it when she could really do anything with technology that magic would let her do. <br />

'''Chapter 0: Prologue'''<br />
<br />
'''Ancestry''<br />
::Rio's family comes from a long line of Garlean Miqo'te going all the way back to when the former republic was barely formed. An offshoot clan of Seeker of the Sun Miqo'te was one of the first aggressors out of many to attack the fledgling nation. This clan, who's name has been lost to history, was soundly trounced by the formidable fighters of the republican guard; and their leaders were captured. So, in exchange for becoming one of the few allies of Garlemald, the Miqo'te would be allowed to live freely amongst them.<br />
::Over time, this Seeker of the Sun clan's tribal traditions were replaced by those of their Garlean allies, and they became a part of the republic. They cast off the name "Seekers of the Sun" and became Garlemald's own "Children of Steel"; sworn to serve the republic for the rest of their days, They took up traditionally Garlean names and traditions, and a few of them even rose into the nobility of the republic, and later the empire. The Rosch family was one of those families.<br />
<br />
''She's a Magitek Woman''<br />
::Rio van Rosch was born to a pair of Imperial engineers, with her mother hailing from a prestigious house of Children of Steel Miqo'te known as the house of Rosch: and her father being another child of steel who's house name had been lost in the tribe's transition from savage tribals to civilized soldiers of the Empire. The two were wed by their coworkers in a small, abandoned airship hangar in the Bozja Citadel, and for a time, life was good, peaceful even. Perry and Alya carried about their work, toiling for the good of the Empire. After a time, Perry himself was even accepted into the house of Rosch, becoming Perry van Rosch. <br />
::And of course, as such things go, Alya eventually became pregnant by Perry and bore a single daughter, everyone's favorite Rio van Rosch. The small child was blessed, in that she had enough of the pure blood of the Empire to be born with a third eye upon her forehead, as all pureblooded Garelans have. Years passed uneventfully around the small family until the year of Ala Mihgo's fall, when they decided to return to the Rosch Family's seat of influence in Garlemald proper for the sake of young Rio's education.<br />
::Perry and Alya, being the team that they were, were brought on as engineers nearly directly under Cid nan Garlond, a minister of magitek in the capital city. Rio began attending a prestigious school, where she learned the various disciplines that any young Garlean of rank might learn. However, it was Rio's experiences outside her education that would set her course in life. <br />
::Having magiengineers as parents, Rio was exposed frequently to the art and science that is magitek. She found herself fascinated by all the strange and awe-inspiring creations her family had a hand in while working under Cid, and found a craving for knowledge awaken in her. She would locate books on magitek (small ones, she's only nine turns old at this point) and devour the information contained within. Instead of playing with friends like many children her age, Rio would accompany her parents to their work, watching from a safe distance and helping where she could. She met with Cid nan Garlond quite a bit during this time in her life, mainly because they just happened to be in the same place at the same time.<br />
::She was not, however, without friends. Her best friend, Gidget Throttle, shared her enthusiasm for magiengineering, and accompanied her on these trips to the workshops and hangars that she spent so much of her childhood in. <br />
<br />
''This Town is Falling Apart''<br />
::Rio's education in both schooling and magitek continued for many years. The young Miqo'te experienced few troubles, and strife was a thing virtually unheard of. That is, of course, until the Meteor Project ended her happy days of innocent bliss. You see, within the Bozja Citadel lived the vast majority of the Children of Steel Miqo'te. The Rosch family was an oddity in that they preferred life in the capital over life among their fellows in the spiraling, labyrinthine halls and workshops of the citadel. And so, the day Dalamud turned red and vaporized the Bozja Citadel, the Children of Steel miqo'te became an endangered culture where seconds earlier they stood as a flourishing symbol of Garlean might. 70% of the population of the Children were reduced to smoke and ashes within 30 seconds of Dalamud's activation.<br />
::The instant that this tragic event took place, Ferro van Rosch, Rio's grandfather and the head of the Rosch family stormed to the imperial palace, demanding an explanation and upon receiving one, demanded that the project be abandoned. The Emperor shared his sentiments at the time, and the Meteor Project was abandoned. <br />
::After that event, life became tense around the Rosch household; but they continued to have faith in the Garlean Empire they had sworn themselves to. Rio continued her education, albeit with a lessened enthusiasm. She spent more time in the workshops than ever, throwing herself into her magitek education to avoid the pitiful stares and whispered words of her classmates and strangers on the street. It was around this time that Cid and his engineers left to form the Garlond Ironworks in Eorzea. Picking up a number of his projects, the Rosch family toiled on in the service of them Empire; they had sworn an oath, after all. <br />

'''During the Events of A Realm Reborn'''<br />
<br />
Rio suddenly reappeared roughly five years after the calamity at the Cold Moon Gala. Although she didn't end up as a Warrior of Light, she didn't speak of where she had departed to since the calamity happened. However, she did reunite with Alothia and the rest of Corvus Cinis, and rejoined the company the same day. <br />
When Lainseworth approached Corvus, offering a way to regain his voice, Rio participated in a raid into the Haukke Manor to fulfill the requirements to use the dark magic. Outside the manor, she was reunited with Misaio, her captain.<br />

[[Misaio Imella]]- The individual closest to Rio before she went missing, Rio and Misaio are very close friends. Misaio captains the airship that Rio works on and Rio would follow her into the seven hells if need be. Rio has resumed her work as Misaio's second-in-command, following her orders to the letter. She's also smitten with the woman, though she respects her too much to really act upon it.<br />
<br />
[[Scarlet Willow]]- Another member of Misaio's crew that Rio has only recently met. She thinks of the Roegadyn as a friend and admires her level headedness in a group where slightly off-the-rails individuals such as Misaio and herself tend to be the rule.<br />

U'zahn Tiia- An U tribe miqo'te that has been visiting the Consortium frequently in recent days. Although the two have radically different views on the world, their arguments are usually playful ones. In the end, they mostly just agree to disagree and get along anyway.<br />
<br />
[[Lainseworth Ravencraft]]- One of Rio's close friends from before the Calamity; Rio is immensely fond of the little Lalafell. She tries to treat him with a measure of respect, given his position and talents as her coworker; but usually is reduced to high pitch squeals and headpats and hugs in his incredibly cute presence. Even having gained the ability to speak, Rio's condition when it comes to Lainse has hardly improved.<br />
<br />
'''Corvus Cinis'''<br />
<br />
[[Alothia Starkwood]]- Rio's boss in Corvus Cinis prior to her departure with Misaio. Rio is immensely loyal to Alothia even now, and would probably still make good on her promise to "melt anyone that hurts her." She was reunited with her after the Calamity and rejoined Alothia's company.<br />
<br />
[[Lily Dawnsworn]]- The second-in-command of Corvus Cinis that Rio loves to tease. Although sometimes Lily can act cold to her, Rio presses on undaunted to make her as silly as the rest of the company. She likes to flirt with her, although she doesn't have much real interest in her romantically.<br />
<br />
[[Vash Ashford]]- An employee of Corvus Cinis Rio met after the calamity. Rio's not quite sure what to make of him yet, but gauges him to be pretty harmless, at least. She's come to believe that the one thing that he does excel at is being a minion or henchman.<br />
<br />
[[Eric Verus]]- An employee of Corvus Cinis that Rio met briefly during a tense encounter with Deirdre. After she found out about his background, she developed a measure of respect for him; to the point where she forged a gunblade for him to use against Souyo, which he promptly broke and lost in the snows of Coerthas. She's somewhat sore about that still.<br />
<br />
[[Souyo Xander]]- A man who was corrupted by the power of a dark crystal and waged a private war against Corvus Cinis. Rio doesn't necessarily enjoy his company, but she sure does enjoy his food. She suspects that he may have some sort of ulterior motive for hanging around the Desert Moogle girls despite his wounds being healed.<br />
<br />
K'oriah Rahjeh- A young Miqo'te girl that Rio met in the company of Souyo. Rio has taken a shine to K'oriah, and tends to act like a big sister to her. <br />
<br />
'''Others'''<br />
<br />
[[Deirdre Ta'ea]]- A former Eorzean Guard member that Rio once served with. Given her propensity for stabbing people and generally threatening nature, Rio tends to be scared stiff of her. She is, in Rio's words, "A terrifying, horrible, super mean, stab-you-in-the-gut, jerk!".<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
*'''Height:''' Slightly on the shorter side, roughly 5'2"<br />
<br />
*'''Weight:''' Roughly average.<br />
<br />
*'''Body:''' Rio is lithely muscled, due to the amount of physical activity that goes with her profession.<br />
<br />
*'''Hair:''' Dark red, with lighter red highlights. She usually wears it tied up in pigtails on the front of her head.<br />
<br />
*'''Eyes:''' Deep red, with a tinge of dark brown. She also has a pure white eye located on her forehead that she tends to comb her hair over to keep it hidden.<br />
<br />
*'''Skin:''' Somewhat tanned. She tends to tan easier than she burns. She also has freckles. Yes, she probably always had them. Shut up.<br />
<br />
*'''Clothing: ''' Rio tends to wear lighter, more comfortable fabrics; oftentimes showing a lot of skin. This is due to her work environment normally being a stuffy, hot, airship engine room. She also usually has some sort of explosive or device stuffed into every nook and cranny of her outfit, and usually modifies them with extra straps or secret pockets to facilitate cramming even MORE volatile devices onto her person. (Such as storing sticks of dynamite in the heels of her boots.)<br />
:When working, however, she tends to favor heavy sets of plate armor. She usually modifies this armor with a number of devices such as hidden guns and compartments for holding devices.<br />

<br />
''"Some women just want to see the world burn."''<br />
<br />
:'''Alignment:''' Chaotic Neutral<br />
<br />
:'''Personality:''' Rio has grown up quite a bit since she left Corvus Cinis before the Calamity to travel the skies with Misaio. Although she still tends to act brashly and doesn't always think through what she's doing, Rio now possesses the ability to examine the consequences of her actions. She also no longer has infinite emotional energy to march down and take no prisoners and slaughter everything between her and her goals.<br />
:That said, Rio still possesses a very energetic, childlike personality. She enjoys weaving words into sharp, playful insults; and tends to flirt with most girls and women she meets. She no longer seems like the dunce she used to portray, and although still pretty immature, a fair bit more of her perceptive mind shows through the bubbly facade. <br />
<br />
:'''Morals:''' Rio tends to act in ways that benefit Rio. Though this tends to extend to people that she values, she doesn't pay much mind to those that she doesn't. She tends to care little for the laws of the realm, and tends to commit crimes like robbery or murder without so much a thought for the consequences. After all, if it's good for Rio, it must be good for everyone, right?<br />
<br />
'''Primary Weaponry'''<br />
:Anarchy- An axe with two cermet blades that contains a mechanism that uses fire crystals and ceruleum to supercharge the blades and make them red hot. It is capable of slicing through lesser materials with ease, and is used by Rio as a cutting tool even more than she uses it as a weapon. The blades need to be replaced every now and then, due to the mechanism warping the material.<br />
:Unnamed Magitek Pistol- A pistol that has shown up in many scenes; mainly used by Rio to threaten individuals. It has yet to be shown in battle and is generally used as more of a running gag than a weapon.<br />

::Due to the heavily militaristic culture of the Empire, Rio has trained in an array of martial disciplines from a young age. However, she shows an aptitude for the axe especially; which she wields with deadly, and painfully obvious, force. She's also a fairly good shot; though her strengths in that field place her more in the heat of a firefight than sniping from a distance. <br />

'''Chapter 0: Prologue'''<br />
<br />
'''Ancestry''<br />
::Rio's family comes from a long line of Garlean Miqo'te going all the way back to when the former republic was barely formed. An offshoot clan of Seeker of the Sun Miqo'te was one of the first aggressors out of many to attack the fledgling nation. This clan, who's name has been lost to history, was soundly trounced by the formidable fighters of the republican guard; and their leaders were captured. So, in exchange for becoming one of the few allies of Garlemald, the Miqo'te would be allowed to live freely amongst them.<br />
::Over time, this Seeker of the Sun clan's tribal traditions were replaced by those of their Garlean allies, and they became a part of the republic. They cast off the name "Seekers of the Sun" and became Garlemald's own "Children of Steel"; sworn to serve the republic for the rest of their days, They took up traditionally Garlean names and traditions, and a few of them even rose into the nobility of the republic, and later the empire. The Rosch family was one of those families.<br />
<br />
''She's a Magitek Woman''<br />
::Rio van Rosch was born to a pair of Imperial engineers, with her mother hailing from a prestigious house of Children of Steel Miqo'te known as the house of Rosch: and her father being another child of steel who's house name had been lost in the tribe's transition from savage tribals to civilized soldiers of the Empire. The two were wed by their coworkers in a small, abandoned airship hangar in the Bozja Citadel, and for a time, life was good, peaceful even. Perry and Alya carried about their work, toiling for the good of the Empire. After a time, Perry himself was even accepted into the house of Rosch, becoming Perry van Rosch. <br />
::And of course, as such things go, Alya eventually became pregnant by Perry and bore a single daughter, everyone's favorite Rio van Rosch. The small child was blessed, in that she had enough of the pure blood of the Empire to be born with a third eye upon her forehead, as all pureblooded Garelans have. Years passed uneventfully around the small family until the year of Ala Mihgo's fall, when they decided to return to the Rosch Family's seat of influence in Garlemald proper for the sake of young Rio's education.<br />
::Perry and Alya, being the team that they were, were brought on as engineers nearly directly under Cid nan Garlond, a minister of magitek in the capital city. Rio began attending a prestigious school, where she learned the various disciplines that any young Garlean of rank might learn. However, it was Rio's experiences outside her education that would set her course in life. <br />
::Having magiengineers as parents, Rio was exposed frequently to the art and science that is magitek. She found herself fascinated by all the strange and awe-inspiring creations her family had a hand in while working under Cid, and found a craving for knowledge awaken in her. She would locate books on magitek (small ones, she's only nine turns old at this point) and devour the information contained within. Instead of playing with friends like many children her age, Rio would accompany her parents to their work, watching from a safe distance and helping where she could. She met with Cid nan Garlond quite a bit during this time in her life, mainly because they just happened to be in the same place at the same time.<br />
::She was not, however, without friends. Her best friend, Gidget Throttle, shared her enthusiasm for magiengineering, and accompanied her on these trips to the workshops and hangars that she spent so much of her childhood in. <br />
<br />
''This Town is Falling Apart''<br />
::Rio's education in both schooling and magitek continued for many years. The young Miqo'te experienced few troubles, and strife was a thing virtually unheard of. That is, of course, until the Meteor Project ended her happy days of innocent bliss. You see, within the Bozja Citadel lived the vast majority of the Children of Steel Miqo'te. The Rosch family was an oddity in that they preferred life in the capital over life among their fellows in the spiraling, labyrinthine halls and workshops of the citadel. And so, the day Dalamud turned red and vaporized the Bozja Citadel, the Children of Steel miqo'te became an endangered culture where seconds earlier they stood as a flourishing symbol of Garlean might. 70% of the population of the Children were reduced to smoke and ashes within 30 seconds of Dalamud's activation.<br />
::The instant that this tragic event took place, Ferro van Rosch, Rio's grandfather and the head of the Rosch family stormed to the imperial palace, demanding an explanation and upon receiving one, demanded that the project be abandoned. The Emperor shared his sentiments at the time, and the Meteor Project was abandoned. <br />
::After that event, life became tense around the Rosch household; but they continued to have faith in the Garlean Empire they had sworn themselves to. Rio continued her education, albeit with a lessened enthusiasm. She spent more time in the workshops than ever, throwing herself into her magitek education to avoid the pitiful stares and whispered words of her classmates and strangers on the street. It was around this time that Cid and his engineers left to form the Garlond Ironworks in Eorzea. Picking up a number of his projects, the Rosch family toiled on in the service of them Empire; they had sworn an oath, after all. <br />

'''During the Events of A Realm Reborn'''<br />
<br />
Rio suddenly reappeared roughly five years after the calamity at the Cold Moon Gala. Although she didn't end up as a Warrior of Light, she didn't speak of where she had departed to since the calamity happened. However, she did reunite with Alothia and the rest of Corvus Cinis, and rejoined the company the same day. <br />
When Lainseworth approached Corvus, offering a way to regain his voice, Rio participated in a raid into the Haukke Manor to fulfill the requirements to use the dark magic. Outside the manor, she was reunited with Misaio, her captain.<br />

<br />
'''The Desert Moogle Consortium'''<br />
<br />
[[Misaio Imella]]- The individual closest to Rio before she went missing, Rio and Misaio are very close friends. Misaio captains the airship that Rio works on and Rio would follow her into the seven hells if need be. Rio has resumed her work as Misaio's second-in-command, following her orders to the letter. She's also smitten with the woman, though she respects her too much to really act upon it.<br />
<br />
[[Scarlet Willow]]- Another member of Misaio's crew that Rio has only recently met. She thinks of the Roegadyn as a friend and admires her level headedness in a group where slightly off-the-rails individuals such as Misaio and herself tend to be the rule.<br />
<br />
U'zahn Tiia- An U tribe miqo'te that has been visiting the Consortium frequently in recent days. Although the two have radically different views on the world, their arguments are usually playful ones. In the end, they mostly just agree to disagree and get along anyway.<br />
<br />
[[Lainseworth Ravencraft]]- One of Rio's close friends from before the Calamity; Rio is immensely fond of the little Lalafell. She tries to treat him with a measure of respect, given his position and talents as her coworker; but usually is reduced to high pitch squeals and headpats and hugs in his incredibly cute presence. Even having gained the ability to speak, Rio's condition when it comes to Lainse has hardly improved.<br />
<br />
'''Corvus Cinis'''<br />
<br />
[[Alothia Starkwood]]- Rio's boss in Corvus Cinis prior to her departure with Misaio. Rio is immensely loyal to Alothia even now, and would probably still make good on her promise to "melt anyone that hurts her." She was reunited with her after the Calamity and rejoined Alothia's company.<br />
<br />
[[Lily Dawnsworn]]- The second-in-command of Corvus Cinis that Rio loves to tease. Although sometimes Lily can act cold to her, Rio presses on undaunted to make her as silly as the rest of the company. She likes to flirt with her, although she doesn't have much real interest in her romantically.<br />
<br />
[[Vash Ashford]]- An employee of Corvus Cinis Rio met after the calamity. Rio's not quite sure what to make of him yet, but gauges him to be pretty harmless, at least. She's come to believe that the one thing that he does excel at is being a minion or henchman.<br />
<br />
[[Eric Verus]]- An employee of Corvus Cinis that Rio met briefly during a tense encounter with Deirdre. After she found out about his background, she developed a measure of respect for him; to the point where she forged a gunblade for him to use against Souyo, which he promptly broke and lost in the snows of Coerthas. She's somewhat sore about that still.<br />
<br />
[[Souyo Xander]]- A man who was corrupted by the power of a dark crystal and waged a private war against Corvus Cinis. Rio doesn't necessarily enjoy his company, but she sure does enjoy his food. She suspects that he may have some sort of ulterior motive for hanging around the Desert Moogle girls despite his wounds being healed.<br />
<br />
K'oriah Rahjeh- A young Miqo'te girl that Rio met in the company of Souyo. Rio has taken a shine to K'oriah, and tends to act like a big sister to her. <br />
<br />
'''Others'''<br />
<br />
[[Deirdre Ta'ea]]- A former Eorzean Guard member that Rio once served with. Given her propensity for stabbing people and generally threatening nature, Rio tends to be scared stiff of her. She is, in Rio's words, "A terrifying, horrible, super mean, stab-you-in-the-gut, jerk!".<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
*'''Height:''' Slightly on the shorter side, roughly 5'2"<br />
<br />
*'''Weight:''' Roughly average.<br />
<br />
*'''Body:''' Rio is lithely muscled, due to the amount of physical activity that goes with her profession.<br />
<br />
*'''Hair:''' Dark red, with lighter red highlights. She usually wears it tied up in pigtails on the front of her head.<br />
<br />
*'''Eyes:''' Deep red, with a tinge of dark brown. She also has a pure white eye located on her forehead that she tends to comb her hair over to keep it hidden.<br />
<br />
*'''Skin:''' Somewhat tanned. She tends to tan easier than she burns.<br />
<br />
*'''Clothing: ''' Rio tends to wear lighter, more comfortable fabrics; oftentimes showing a lot of skin. This is due to her work environment normally being a stuffy, hot, airship engine room. She also usually has some sort of explosive or device stuffed into every nook and cranny of her outfit, and usually modifies them with extra straps or secret pockets to facilitate cramming even MORE volatile devices onto her person. (Such as storing sticks of dynamite in the heels of her boots.)<br />
:When working, however, she tends to favor heavy sets of plate armor. She usually modifies this armor with a number of devices such as hidden guns and compartments for holding devices.<br />

<br />
''"Some women just want to see the world burn."''<br />
<br />
:'''Alignment:''' Neutral Evil<br />
<br />
:'''Personality:'''More often than not, Rio tends to act as a complete, over the edge [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Cloudcuckoolander cloudcuckoolander]. Her head is normally in the clouds; or when she is in touch with reality, she's normally extremely off-kilter. With an appetite for massive explosions and lots and lots of fire, Rio is the very personification of the "Sapper" fantasy archetype. She seems almost distant from most negatively charged situations, and usually it takes quite a bit for her to process when she's supposed to be angry or sad.<br />
:She does, however, take a rather twisted joy in destruction and the massive explosions her often incredibly volatile inventions tend to create. Although she's entirely capable of creating fine, orderly inventions for the good of mankind, Rio apparently has chucked any notion of "stooping" to that out the window a long time ago. She views destruction as an art, and not only dedicates herself to building bigger bombs, but also other varieties of heavy ordinance. (Such as attaching guns to every weapon she gets her hands on, as well as building long range cannons of ever size to deliver her explosive gifts to the world.) <br />
:Despite her near-genius intellect, Rio normally appears more than a little dimwitted, leaving people amazed when they find out that she actually does know her stuff. She's also fiercely loyal to anyone who earns her trust, to the point where individuals such as Alothia or Misaio can point at something and tell her to blow it up and it will be rubble in seconds, no questions asked. <br />
<br />
:'''Morals:''' Rio tends to act in ways that benefit Rio. Though this tends to extend to people that she values, she doesn't pay much mind to those that she doesn't. She tends to care little for the laws of the realm, and tends to commit crimes like robbery or murder without so much a thought for the consequences. After all, if it's good for Rio, it must be good for everyone, right?<br />
<br />
'''Primary Weaponry'''<br />
:Anarchy- An axe with two cermet blades that contains a mechanism that uses fire crystals and ceruleum to supercharge the blades and make them red hot. It is capable of slicing through lesser materials with ease, and is used by Rio as a cutting tool even more than she uses it as a weapon. The blades need to be replaced every now and then, due to the mechanism warping the material.<br />
:Unnamed Magitek Pistol- A pistol that has shown up in many scenes; mainly used by Rio to threaten individuals. It has yet to be shown in battle and is generally used as more of a running gag than a weapon.<br />

:'''Strengths:'''<br />
::Due to the heavily militaristic culture of the Empire, Rio has trained in an array of martial disciplines from a young age. However, she shows an aptitude for the axe especially; which she wields with deadly, and painfully obvious, force. She's also a fairly good shot; though her strengths in that field place her more in the heat of a firefight than sniping from a distance. <br />

::Also due to being a Garlean, Rio's natural aptitude for magic is somewhere between that of a rock and a ziz. While magic's not impossible for her, it's hard enough that she tends not to bother with it when she could really do anything with technology that magic would let her do. <br />

'''Ancestry''<br />
::Rio's family comes from a long line of Garlean Miqo'te going all the way back to when the former republic was barely formed. An offshoot clan of Seeker of the Sun Miqo'te was one of the first aggressors out of many to attack the fledgling nation. This clan, who's name has been lost to history, was soundly trounced by the formidable fighters of the republican guard; and their leaders were captured. So, in exchange for becoming one of the few allies of Garlemald, the Miqo'te would be allowed to live freely amongst them.<br />
::Over time, this Seeker of the Sun clan's tribal traditions were replaced by those of their Garlean allies, and they became a part of the republic. They cast off the name "Seekers of the Sun" and became Garlemald's own "Children of Steel"; sworn to serve the republic for the rest of their days, They took up traditionally Garlean names and traditions, and a few of them even rose into the nobility of the republic, and later the empire. The Rosch family was one of those families.<br />
<br />
''She's a Magitek Woman''<br />
::Rio van Rosch was born to a pair of Imperial engineers, with her mother hailing from a prestigious house of Children of Steel Miqo'te known as the house of Rosch: and her father being another child of steel who's house name had been lost in the tribe's transition from savage tribals to civilized soldiers of the Empire. The two were wed by their coworkers in a small, abandoned airship hangar in the Bozja Citadel, and for a time, life was good, peaceful even. Perry and Alya carried about their work, toiling for the good of the Empire. After a time, Perry himself was even accepted into the house of Rosch, becoming Perry van Rosch. <br />
::And of course, as such things go, Alya eventually became pregnant by Perry and bore a single daughter, everyone's favorite Rio van Rosch. The small child was blessed, in that she had enough of the pure blood of the Empire to be born with a third eye upon her forehead, as all pureblooded Garelans have. Years passed uneventfully around the small family until the year of Ala Mihgo's fall, when they decided to return to the Rosch Family's seat of influence in Garlemald proper for the sake of young Rio's education.<br />
::Perry and Alya, being the team that they were, were brought on as engineers nearly directly under Cid nan Garlond, a minister of magitek in the capital city. Rio began attending a prestigious school, where she learned the various disciplines that any young Garlean of rank might learn. However, it was Rio's experiences outside her education that would set her course in life. <br />
::Having magiengineers as parents, Rio was exposed frequently to the art and science that is magitek. She found herself fascinated by all the strange and awe-inspiring creations her family had a hand in while working under Cid, and found a craving for knowledge awaken in her. She would locate books on magitek (small ones, she's only nine turns old at this point) and devour the information contained within. Instead of playing with friends like many children her age, Rio would accompany her parents to their work, watching from a safe distance and helping where she could. She met with Cid nan Garlond quite a bit during this time in her life, mainly because they just happened to be in the same place at the same time.<br />
::She was not, however, without friends. Her best friend, Gidget Throttle, shared her enthusiasm for magiengineering, and accompanied her on these trips to the workshops and hangars that she spent so much of her childhood in. <br />

'''During the Events of A Realm Reborn'''<br />
<br />
Rio suddenly reappeared roughly five years after the calamity at the Cold Moon Gala. Although she didn't end up as a Warrior of Light, she didn't speak of where she had departed to since the calamity happened. However, she did reunite with Alothia and the rest of Corvus Cinis, and rejoined the company the same day. <br />
When Lainseworth approached Corvus, offering a way to regain his voice, Rio participated in a raid into the Haukke Manor to fulfill the requirements to use the dark magic. Outside the manor, she was reunited with Misaio, her captain.<br />

<br />
'''The Desert Moogle Consortium'''<br />
<br />
[[Misaio Imella]]- The individual closest to Rio before she went missing, Rio and Misaio are very close friends. Misaio captains the airship that Rio works on and Rio would follow her into the seven hells if need be. Rio has resumed her work as Misaio's second-in-command, following her orders to the letter. She's also smitten with the woman, though she respects her too much to really act upon it.<br />
<br />
[[Scarlet Willow]]- Another member of Misaio's crew that Rio has only recently met. She thinks of the Roegadyn as a friend and admires her level headedness in a group where slightly off-the-rails individuals such as Misaio and herself tend to be the rule.<br />
<br />
'''Corvus Cinis'''<br />
<br />
[[Alothia Starkwood]]- Rio's boss in Corvus Cinis prior to her departure with Misaio. Rio is immensely loyal to Alothia even now, and would probably still make good on her promise to "melt anyone that hurts her." She was reunited with her after the Calamity and rejoined Alothia's company.<br />
<br />
[[Lily Dawnsworn]]- The second-in-command of Corvus Cinis that Rio loves to tease. Although sometimes Lily can act cold to her, Rio presses on undaunted to make her as silly as the rest of the company. She likes to flirt with her, although she doesn't have much real interest in her romantically.<br />
<br />
[[Vash Ashford]]- An employee of Corvus Cinis Rio met after the calamity. Rio's not quite sure what to make of him yet, but gauges him to be pretty harmless, at least. She's come to believe that the one thing that he does excel at is being a minion or henchman.<br />
<br />
[[Lainseworth Ravencraft]]- One of Rio's close friends from before the Calamity; Rio is immensely fond of the little Lalafell. She tries to treat him with a measure of respect, given his position and talents as her coworker; but usually is reduced to high pitch squeals and headpats and hugs in his incredibly cute presence. Even having gained the ability to speak, Rio's condition when it comes to Lainse has hardly improved.<br />
<br />
[[Eric Verus]]- An employee of Corvus Cinis that Rio met briefly during a tense encounter with Deirdre. After she found out about his background, she developed a measure of respect for him; to the point where she forged a gunblade for him to use against Souyo, which he promptly broke and lost in the snows of Coerthas. She's somewhat sore about that still.<br />
<br />
[[Souyo Xander]]- A man who was corrupted by the power of a dark crystal and waged a private war against Corvus Cinis. Rio had always seen Souyo's death as a means to an end, but holds no personal vendetta against him.<br />
<br />
K'oriah Rahjeh- A young Miqo'te girl that Rio met in the company of Souyo. Rio has taken a shine to K'oriah, and tends to act like a big sister to her. <br />
<br />
'''Others'''<br />
<br />
[[Deirdre Ta'ea]]- A former Eorzean Guard member that Rio once served with. Given her propensity for stabbing people and generally threatening nature, Rio tends to be scared stiff of her. She is, in Rio's words, "A terrifying, horrible, super mean, stab-you-in-the-gut, jerk!".<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
*'''Height:''' Slightly on the shorter side, roughly 5'2"<br />
<br />
*'''Weight:''' Roughly average.<br />
<br />
*'''Body:''' Rio is lithely muscled, due to the amount of physical activity that goes with her profession.<br />
<br />
*'''Hair:''' Dark red, with lighter red highlights. She usually wears it tied up in pigtails on the front of her head.<br />
<br />
*'''Eyes:''' Deep red, with a tinge of dark brown. She also has a pure white eye located on her forehead that she tends to comb her hair over to keep it hidden.<br />
<br />
*'''Skin:''' Somewhat tanned. She tends to tan easier than she burns.<br />
<br />
*'''Clothing: ''' Rio tends to wear lighter, more comfortable fabrics; oftentimes showing a lot of skin. This is due to her work environment normally being a stuffy, hot, airship engine room. She also usually has some sort of explosive or device stuffed into every nook and cranny of her outfit, and usually modifies them with extra straps or secret pockets to facilitate cramming even MORE volatile devices onto her person. (Such as storing sticks of dynamite in the heels of her boots.)<br />
:When working, however, she tends to favor heavy sets of plate armor. She usually modifies this armor with a number of devices such as hidden guns and compartments for holding devices.<br />

<br />
''"Some women just want to see the world burn."''<br />
<br />
:'''Alignment:''' Neutral Evil<br />
<br />
:'''Personality:'''More often than not, Rio tends to act as a complete, over the edge [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Cloudcuckoolander cloudcuckoolander]. Her head is normally in the clouds; or when she is in touch with reality, she's normally extremely off-kilter. With an appetite for massive explosions and lots and lots of fire, Rio is the very personification of the "Sapper" fantasy archetype. She seems almost distant from most negatively charged situations, and usually it takes quite a bit for her to process when she's supposed to be angry or sad.<br />
:She does, however, take a rather twisted joy in destruction and the massive explosions her often incredibly volatile inventions tend to create. Although she's entirely capable of creating fine, orderly inventions for the good of mankind, Rio apparently has chucked any notion of "stooping" to that out the window a long time ago. She views destruction as an art, and not only dedicates herself to building bigger bombs, but also other varieties of heavy ordinance. (Such as attaching guns to every weapon she gets her hands on, as well as building long range cannons of ever size to deliver her explosive gifts to the world.) <br />
:Despite her near-genius intellect, Rio normally appears more than a little dimwitted, leaving people amazed when they find out that she actually does know her stuff. She's also fiercely loyal to anyone who earns her trust, to the point where individuals such as Alothia or Misaio can point at something and tell her to blow it up and it will be rubble in seconds, no questions asked. <br />
<br />
:'''Morals:''' Rio tends to act in ways that benefit Rio. Though this tends to extend to people that she values, she doesn't pay much mind to those that she doesn't. She tends to care little for the laws of the realm, and tends to commit crimes like robbery or murder without so much a thought for the consequences. After all, if it's good for Rio, it must be good for everyone, right?<br />
<br />
'''Primary Weaponry'''<br />
:Anarchy- An axe with two cermet blades that contains a mechanism that uses fire crystals and ceruleum to supercharge the blades and make them red hot. It is capable of slicing through lesser materials with ease, and is used by Rio as a cutting tool even more than she uses it as a weapon. The blades need to be replaced every now and then, due to the mechanism warping the material.<br />
:Unnamed Magitek Pistol- A pistol that has shown up in many scenes; mainly used by Rio to threaten individuals. It has yet to be shown in battle and is generally used as more of a running gag than a weapon.<br />

::Due to the heavily militaristic culture of the Empire, Rio has trained in an array of martial disciplines from a young age. However, she shows an aptitude for the axe especially; which she wields with deadly, and painfully obvious, force. She's also a fairly good shot; though her strengths in that field place her more in the heat of a firefight than sniping from a distance. <br />

::Also due to being a Garlean, Rio's natural aptitude for magic is somewhere between that of a rock and a ziz. While magic's not impossible for her, it's hard enough that she tends not to bother with it when she could really do anything with technology that magic would let her do. <br />

'''Ancestry''<br />
::Rio's family comes from a long line of Garlean Miqo'te going all the way back to when the former republic was barely formed. An offshoot clan of Seeker of the Sun Miqo'te was one of the first aggressors out of many to attack the fledgling nation. This clan, who's name has been lost to history, was soundly trounced by the formidable fighters of the republican guard; and their leaders were captured. So, in exchange for becoming one of the few allies of Garlemald, the Miqo'te would be allowed to live freely amongst them.<br />
::Over time, this Seeker of the Sun clan's tribal traditions were replaced by those of their Garlean allies, and they became a part of the republic. They cast off the name "Seekers of the Sun" and became Garlemald's own "Children of Steel"; sworn to serve the republic for the rest of their days, They took up traditionally Garlean names and traditions, and a few of them even rose into the nobility of the republic, and later the empire. The Rosch family was one of those families.<br />
<br />
''She's a Magitek Woman''<br />
::Rio van Rosch was born to a pair of Imperial engineers, with her mother hailing from a prestigious house of Children of Steel Miqo'te known as the house of Rosch: and her father being another child of steel who's house name had been lost in the tribe's transition from savage tribals to civilized soldiers of the Empire. The two were wed by their coworkers in a small, abandoned airship hangar in the Bozja Citadel, and for a time, life was good, peaceful even. Perry and Alya carried about their work, toiling for the good of the Empire. After a time, Perry himself was even accepted into the house of Rosch, becoming Perry van Rosch. <br />
::And of course, as such things go, Alya eventually became pregnant by Perry and bore a single daughter, everyone's favorite Rio van Rosch. The small child was blessed, in that she had enough of the pure blood of the Empire to be born with a third eye upon her forehead, as all pureblooded Garelans have. Years passed uneventfully around the small family until the year of Ala Mihgo's fall, when they decided to return to the Rosch Family's seat of influence in Garlemald proper for the sake of young Rio's education.<br />
::Perry and Alya, being the team that they were, were brought on as engineers nearly directly under Cid nan Garlond, a minister of magitek in the capital city. Rio began attending a prestigious school, where she learned the various disciplines that any young Garlean of rank might learn. However, it was Rio's experiences outside her education that would set her course in life. <br />
::Having magiengineers as parents, Rio was exposed frequently to the art and science that is magitek. She found herself fascinated by all the strange and awe-inspiring creations her family had a hand in while working under Cid, and found a craving for knowledge awaken in her. She would locate books on magitek (small ones, she's only nine turns old at this point) and devour the information contained within. Instead of playing with friends like many children her age, Rio would accompany her parents to their work, watching from a safe distance and helping where she could. She met with Cid nan Garlond quite a bit during this time in her life, mainly because they just happened to be in the same place at the same time.<br />
::She was not, however, without friends. Her best friend, Gidget Throttle, shared her enthusiasm for magiengineering, and accompanied her on these trips to the workshops and hangars that she spent so much of her childhood in. <br />

'''During the Events of A Realm Reborn'''<br />
<br />
Rio suddenly reappeared roughly five years after the calamity at the Cold Moon Gala. Although she didn't end up as a Warrior of Light, she didn't speak of where she had departed to since the calamity happened. However, she did reunite with Alothia and the rest of Corvus Cinis, and rejoined the company the same day. <br />
When Lainseworth approached Corvus, offering a way to regain his voice, Rio participated in a raid into the Haukke Manor to fulfill the requirements to use the dark magic. Outside the manor, she was reunited with Misaio, her captain.<br />

<br />
'''The Desert Moogle Consortium'''<br />
<br />
[[Misaio Imella]]- The individual closest to Rio before she went missing, Rio and Misaio are very close friends. Misaio captains the airship that Rio works on and Rio would follow her into the seven hells if need be. Rio has resumed her work as Misaio's second-in-command, following her orders to the letter. She's also smitten with the woman, though she respects her too much to really act upon it.<br />
<br />
[[Scarlet Willow]]- Another member of Misaio's crew that Rio has only recently met. She thinks of the Roegadyn as a friend and admires her level headedness in a group where slightly off-the-rails individuals such as Misaio and herself tend to be the rule.<br />
<br />
'''Corvus Cinis'''<br />
<br />
[[Alothia Starkwood]]- Rio's boss in Corvus Cinis prior to her departure with Misaio. Rio is immensely loyal to Alothia even now, and would probably still make good on her promise to "melt anyone that hurts her." She was reunited with her after the Calamity and rejoined Alothia's company.<br />
<br />
[[Lily Dawnsworn]]- The second-in-command of Corvus Cinis that Rio loves to tease. Although sometimes Lily can act cold to her, Rio presses on undaunted to make her as silly as the rest of the company. She likes to flirt with her, although she doesn't have much real interest in her romantically.<br />
<br />
[[Vash Ashford]]- An employee of Corvus Cinis Rio met after the calamity. Rio's not quite sure what to make of him yet, but gauges him to be pretty harmless, at least. She's come to believe that the one thing that he does excel at is being a minion or henchman.<br />
<br />
[[Lainseworth Ravencraft]]- One of Rio's close friends from before the Calamity; Rio is immensely fond of the little Lalafell. She tries to treat him with a measure of respect, given his position and talents as her coworker; but usually is reduced to high pitch squeals and headpats and hugs in his incredibly cute presence. Even having gained the ability to speak, Rio's condition when it comes to Lainse has hardly improved.<br />
<br />
[[Eric Verus]]- An employee of Corvus Cinis that Rio met briefly during a tense encounter with Deirdre. After she found out about his background, she developed a measure of respect for him; to the point where she forged a gunblade for him to use against Souyo, which he promptly broke and lost in the snows of Coerthas. She's somewhat sore about that still.<br />
<br />
[[Souyo Xander]]- A man who was corrupted by the power of a dark crystal and waged a private war against Corvus Cinis. Rio had always seen Souyo's death as a means to an end, but holds no personal vendetta against him.<br />
<br />
K'oriah Rahjeh- A young Miqo'te girl that Rio met in the company of Souyo. Rio has taken a shine to K'oriah, and tends to act like a big sister to her. <br />
<br />
'''Others'''<br />
<br />
[[Deirdre Ta'ea]]- A former Eorzean Guard member that Rio once served with. Given her propensity for stabbing people and generally threatening nature, Rio tends to be scared stiff of her. She is, in Rio's words, "A terrifying, horrible, super mean, stab-you-in-the-gut, jerk!".<br />

*'''Eyes:''' Deep red, with a tinge of dark brown. She also has a pure white eye located on her forehead that she tends to comb her hair over to keep it hidden.<br />
<br />
*'''Skin:''' Somewhat tanned. She tends to tan easier than she burns.<br />
<br />
*'''Clothing: ''' Rio tends to wear lighter, more comfortable fabrics; oftentimes showing a lot of skin. This is due to her work environment normally being a stuffy, hot, airship engine room. She also usually has some sort of explosive or device stuffed into every nook and cranny of her outfit, and usually modifies them with extra straps or secret pockets to facilitate cramming even MORE volatile devices onto her person. (Such as storing sticks of dynamite in the heels of her boots.)<br />
:When working, however, she tends to favor heavy sets of plate armor. She usually modifies this armor with a number of devices such as hidden guns and compartments for holding devices.<br />

<br />
''"Some women just want to see the world burn."''<br />
<br />
:'''Alignment:''' Neutral Evil<br />
<br />
:'''Personality:'''More often than not, Rio tends to act as a complete, over the edge [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Cloudcuckoolander cloudcuckoolander]. Her head is normally in the clouds; or when she is in touch with reality, she's normally extremely off-kilter. With an appetite for massive explosions and lots and lots of fire, Rio is the very personification of the "Sapper" fantasy archetype. She seems almost distant from most negatively charged situations, and usually it takes quite a bit for her to process when she's supposed to be angry or sad.<br />
:She does, however, take a rather twisted joy in destruction and the massive explosions her often incredibly volatile inventions tend to create. Although she's entirely capable of creating fine, orderly inventions for the good of mankind, Rio apparently has chucked any notion of "stooping" to that out the window a long time ago. She views destruction as an art, and not only dedicates herself to building bigger bombs, but also other varieties of heavy ordinance. (Such as attaching guns to every weapon she gets her hands on, as well as building long range cannons of ever size to deliver her explosive gifts to the world.) <br />
:Despite her near-genius intellect, Rio normally appears more than a little dimwitted, leaving people amazed when they find out that she actually does know her stuff. She's also fiercely loyal to anyone who earns her trust, to the point where individuals such as Alothia or Misaio can point at something and tell her to blow it up and it will be rubble in seconds, no questions asked. <br />
<br />
:'''Morals:''' Rio tends to act in ways that benefit Rio. Though this tends to extend to people that she values, she doesn't pay much mind to those that she doesn't. She tends to care little for the laws of the realm, and tends to commit crimes like robbery or murder without so much a thought for the consequences. After all, if it's good for Rio, it must be good for everyone, right?<br />

::Due to the heavily militaristic culture of the Empire, Rio has trained in an array of martial disciplines from a young age. However, she shows an aptitude for the axe especially; which she wields with deadly, and painfully obvious, force. She's also a fairly good shot; though her strengths in that field place her more in the heat of a firefight than sniping from a distance. <br />

<br />
'''Ancestry''<br />
::Rio's family comes from a long line of Garlean Miqo'te going all the way back to when the former republic was barely formed. An offshoot clan of Seeker of the Sun Miqo'te was one of the first aggressors out of many to attack the fledgling nation. This clan, who's name has been lost to history, was soundly trounced by the formidable fighters of the republican guard; and their leaders were captured. So, in exchange for becoming one of the few allies of Garlemald, the Miqo'te would be allowed to live freely amongst them.<br />
::Over time, this Seeker of the Sun clan's tribal traditions were replaced by those of their Garlean allies, and they became a part of the republic. They cast off the name "Seekers of the Sun" and became Garlemald's own "Children of Steel"; sworn to serve the republic for the rest of their days, They took up traditionally Garlean names and traditions, and a few of them even rose into the nobility of the republic, and later the empire. The Rosch family was one of those families.<br />
<br />
''She's a Magitek Woman''<br />
::Rio van Rosch was born to a pair of Imperial engineers, with her mother hailing from a prestigious house of Children of Steel Miqo'te known as the house of Rosch: and her father being another child of steel who's house name had been lost in the tribe's transition from savage tribals to civilized soldiers of the Empire. The two were wed by their coworkers in a small, abandoned airship hangar in the Bozja Citadel, and for a time, life was good, peaceful even. Perry and Alya carried about their work, toiling for the good of the Empire. After a time, Perry himself was even accepted into the house of Rosch, becoming Perry van Rosch. <br />
::And of course, as such things go, Alya eventually became pregnant by Perry and bore a single daughter, everyone's favorite Rio van Rosch. The small child was blessed, in that she had enough of the pure blood of the Empire to be born with a third eye upon her forehead, as all pureblooded Garelans have. Years passed uneventfully around the small family until the year of Ala Mihgo's fall, when they decided to return to the Rosch Family's seat of influence in Garlemald proper for the sake of young Rio's education.<br />
::Perry and Alya, being the team that they were, were brought on as engineers nearly directly under Cid nan Garlond, a minister of magitek in the capital city. Rio began attending a prestigious school, where she learned the various disciplines that any young Garlean of rank might learn. However, it was Rio's experiences outside her education that would set her course in life. <br />
::Having magiengineers as parents, Rio was exposed frequently to the art and science that is magitek. She found herself fascinated by all the strange and awe-inspiring creations her family had a hand in while working under Cid, and found a craving for knowledge awaken in her. She would locate books on magitek (small ones, she's only nine turns old at this point) and devour the information contained within. Instead of playing with friends like many children her age, Rio would accompany her parents to their work, watching from a safe distance and helping where she could. She met with Cid nan Garlond quite a bit during this time in her life, mainly because they just happened to be in the same place at the same time.<br />
::She was not, however, without friends. Her best friend, Gidget Throttle, shared her enthusiasm for magiengineering, and accompanied her on these trips to the workshops and hangars that she spent so much of her childhood in. <br />

'''During the Events of A Realm Reborn'''<br />
<br />
Rio suddenly reappeared roughly five years after the calamity at the Cold Moon Gala. Although she didn't end up as a Warrior of Light, she didn't speak of where she had departed to since the calamity happened. However, she did reunite with Alothia and the rest of Corvus Cinis, and rejoined the company the same day. <br />
When Lainseworth approached Corvus, offering a way to regain his voice, Rio participated in a raid into the Haukke Manor to fulfill the requirements to use the dark magic. Outside the manor, she was reunited with Misaio, her captain.<br />

<br />
'''The Desert Moogle Consortium'''<br />
<br />
[[Misaio Imella]]- The individual closest to Rio before she went missing, Rio and Misaio are very close friends. Misaio captains the airship that Rio works on and Rio would follow her into the seven hells if need be. Rio has resumed her work as Misaio's second-in-command, following her orders to the letter. She's also smitten with the woman, though she respects her too much to really act upon it.<br />
<br />
[[Scarlet Willow]]- Another member of Misaio's crew that Rio has only recently met. She thinks of the Roegadyn as a friend and admires her level headedness in a group where slightly off-the-rails individuals such as Misaio and herself tend to be the rule.<br />
<br />
'''Corvus Cinis'''<br />
<br />
[[Alothia Starkwood]]- Rio's boss in Corvus Cinis prior to her departure with Misaio. Rio is immensely loyal to Alothia even now, and would probably still make good on her promise to "melt anyone that hurts her." She was reunited with her after the Calamity and rejoined Alothia's company.<br />
<br />
[[Lily Dawnsworn]]- The second-in-command of Corvus Cinis that Rio loves to tease. Although sometimes Lily can act cold to her, Rio presses on undaunted to make her as silly as the rest of the company. She likes to flirt with her, although she doesn't have much real interest in her romantically.<br />
<br />
[[Vash Ashford]]- An employee of Corvus Cinis Rio met after the calamity. Rio's not quite sure what to make of him yet, but gauges him to be pretty harmless, at least. She's come to believe that the one thing that he does excel at is being a minion or henchman.<br />
<br />
[[Lainseworth Ravencraft]]- One of Rio's close friends from before the Calamity; Rio is immensely fond of the little Lalafell. She tries to treat him with a measure of respect, given his position and talents as her coworker; but usually is reduced to high pitch squeals and headpats and hugs in his incredibly cute presence. Even having gained the ability to speak, Rio's condition when it comes to Lainse has hardly improved.<br />
<br />
[[Eric Verus]]- An employee of Corvus Cinis that Rio met briefly during a tense encounter with Deirdre. After she found out about his background, she developed a measure of respect for him; to the point where she forged a gunblade for him to use against Souyo, which he promptly broke and lost in the snows of Coerthas. She's somewhat sore about that still.<br />
<br />
[[Souyo Xander]]- A man who was corrupted by the power of a dark crystal and waged a private war against Corvus Cinis. Rio had always seen Souyo's death as a means to an end, but holds no personal vendetta against him.<br />
<br />
'''Others'''<br />
<br />
[[Deirdre Ta'ea]]- A former Eorzean Guard member that Rio once served with. Given her propensity for stabbing people and generally threatening nature, Rio tends to be scared stiff of her. She is, in Rio's words, "A terrifying, horrible, super mean, stab-you-in-the-gut, jerk!".<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
*'''Height:''' Slightly on the shorter side, roughly 5'2"<br />
<br />
*'''Weight:''' Roughly average.<br />
<br />
*'''Body:''' Rio is lithely muscled, due to the amount of physical activity that goes with her profession.<br />
<br />
*'''Hair:''' Dark red, with lighter red highlights. She usually wears it tied up in pigtails on the front of her head.<br />
<br />
*'''Eyes:''' Deep red, with a tinge of dark brown. She also has a pure white eye located on her forehead that she tends to comb her hair over to keep it hidden.<br />
<br />
*'''Skin:''' Somewhat tanned. She tends to tan easier than she burns.<br />
<br />
*'''Clothing: ''' Rio tends to wear lighter, more comfortable fabrics; oftentimes showing a lot of skin. This is due to her work environment normally being a stuffy, hot, airship engine room. She also usually has some sort of explosive or device stuffed into every nook and cranny of her outfit, and usually modifies them with extra straps or secret pockets to facilitate cramming even MORE volatile devices onto her person. (Such as storing sticks of dynamite in the heels of her boots.)<br />
:When working, however, she tends to favor heavy sets of plate armor. She usually modifies this armor with a number of devices such as hidden guns and compartments for holding devices.<br />

<br />
''"Some women just want to see the world burn."''<br />
<br />
:'''Alignment:''' Neutral Evil<br />
<br />
:'''Personality:'''More often than not, Rio tends to act as a complete, over the edge [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Cloudcuckoolander cloudcuckoolander]. Her head is normally in the clouds; or when she is in touch with reality, she's normally extremely off-kilter. With an appetite for massive explosions and lots and lots of fire, Rio is the very personification of the "Sapper" fantasy archetype. She seems almost distant from most negatively charged situations, and usually it takes quite a bit for her to process when she's supposed to be angry or sad.<br />
:She does, however, take a rather twisted joy in destruction and the massive explosions her often incredibly volatile inventions tend to create. Although she's entirely capable of creating fine, orderly inventions for the good of mankind, Rio apparently has chucked any notion of "stooping" to that out the window a long time ago. She views destruction as an art, and not only dedicates herself to building bigger bombs, but also other varieties of heavy ordinance. (Such as attaching guns to every weapon she gets her hands on, as well as building long range cannons of ever size to deliver her explosive gifts to the world.) <br />
:Despite her near-genius intellect, Rio normally appears more than a little dimwitted, leaving people amazed when they find out that she actually does know her stuff. She's also fiercely loyal to anyone who earns her trust, to the point where individuals such as Alothia or Misaio can point at something and tell her to blow it up and it will be rubble in seconds, no questions asked. <br />
<br />
:'''Morals:''' Rio tends to act in ways that benefit Rio. Though this tends to extend to people that she values, she doesn't pay much mind to those that she doesn't. She tends to care little for the laws of the realm, and tends to commit crimes like robbery or murder without so much a thought for the consequences. After all, if it's good for Rio, it must be good for everyone, right?<br />

::Due to the heavily militaristic culture of the Empire, Rio has trained in an array of martial disciplines from a young age. However, she shows an aptitude for the axe especially; which she wields with deadly, and painfully obvious, force. She's also a fairly good shot; though her strengths in that field place her more in the heat of a firefight than sniping from a distance. <br />

<br />
'''Ancestry''<br />
::Rio's family comes from a long line of Garlean Miqo'te going all the way back to when the former republic was barely formed. An offshoot clan of Seeker of the Sun Miqo'te was one of the first aggressors out of many to attack the fledgling nation. This clan, who's name has been lost to history, was soundly trounced by the formidable fighters of the republican guard; and their leaders were captured. So, in exchange for becoming one of the few allies of Garlemald, the Miqo'te would be allowed to live freely amongst them.<br />
::Over time, this Seeker of the Sun clan's tribal traditions were replaced by those of their Garlean allies, and they became a part of the republic. They cast off the name "Seekers of the Sun" and became Garlemald's own "Children of Steel"; sworn to serve the republic for the rest of their days, They took up traditionally Garlean names and traditions, and a few of them even rose into the nobility of the republic, and later the empire. The Rosch family was one of those families.<br />
<br />
''She's a Magitek Woman''<br />
::Rio van Rosch was born to a pair of Imperial engineers, with her mother hailing from a prestigious house of Children of Steel Miqo'te known as the house of Rosch: and her father being another child of steel who's house name had been lost in the tribe's transition from savage tribals to civilized soldiers of the Empire. The two were wed by their coworkers in a small, abandoned airship hangar in the Bozja Citadel, and for a time, life was good, peaceful even. Perry and Alya carried about their work, toiling for the good of the Empire. After a time, Perry himself was even accepted into the house of Rosch, becoming Perry van Rosch. <br />
::And of course, as such things go, Alya eventually became pregnant by Perry and bore a single daughter, everyone's favorite Rio van Rosch. The small child was blessed, in that she had enough of the pure blood of the Empire to be born with a third eye upon her forehead, as all pureblooded Garelans have. Years passed uneventfully around the small family until the year of Ala Mihgo's fall, when they decided to return to the Rosch Family's seat of influence in Garlemald proper for the sake of young Rio's education.<br />
::Perry and Alya, being the team that they were, were brought on as engineers nearly directly under Cid nan Garlond, a minister of magitek in the capital city. Rio began attending a prestigious school, where she learned the various disciplines that any young Garlean of rank might learn. However, it was Rio's experiences outside her education that would set her course in life. <br />
::Having magiengineers as parents, Rio was exposed frequently to the art and science that is magitek. She found herself fascinated by all the strange and awe-inspiring creations her family had a hand in while working under Cid, and found a craving for knowledge awaken in her. She would locate books on magitek (small ones, she's only nine turns old at this point) and devour the information contained within. Instead of playing with friends like many children her age, Rio would accompany her parents to their work, watching from a safe distance and helping where she could. She met with Cid nan Garlond quite a bit during this time in her life, mainly because they just happened to be in the same place at the same time.<br />
::She was not, however, without friends. Her best friend, Gidget Throttle, shared her enthusiasm for magiengineering, and accompanied her on these trips to the workshops and hangars that she spent so much of her childhood in. <br />

'''During the Events of A Realm Reborn'''<br />
<br />
Rio suddenly reappeared roughly five years after the calamity at the Cold Moon Gala. Although she didn't end up as a Warrior of Light, she didn't speak of where she had departed to since the calamity happened. However, she did reunite with Alothia and the rest of Corvus Cinis, and rejoined the company the same day. <br />
When Lainseworth approached Corvus, offering a way to regain his voice, Rio participated in a raid into the Haukke Manor to fulfill the requirements to use the dark magic. Outside the manor, she was reunited with Misaio, her captain.<br />

<br />
[[Misaio Imella]]- The individual closest to Rio before she went missing, Rio and Misaio are very close friends. Misaio captains the airship that Rio works on and Rio would follow her into the seven hells if need be. Rio has resumed her work as Misaio's second-in-command, following her orders to the letter. She's also smitten with the woman, though she respects her too much to really act upon it.<br />
<br />
[[Alothia Starkwood]]- Rio's boss in Corvus Cinis prior to her departure with Misaio. Rio is immensely loyal to Alothia even now, and would probably still make good on her promise to "melt anyone that hurts her." She was reunited with her after the Calamity and rejoined Alothia's company.<br />
<br />
[[Lily Dawnsworn]]- The second-in-command of Corvus Cinis that Rio loves to tease. Although sometimes Lily can act cold to her, Rio presses on undaunted to make her as silly as the rest of the company. She likes to flirt with her, although she doesn't have much real interest in her romantically.<br />
<br />
[[Vash Ashford]]- An employee of Corvus Cinis Rio met after the calamity. Rio's not quite sure what to make of him yet, but gauges him to be pretty harmless, at least. She's come to believe that the one thing that he does excel at is being a minion or henchman.<br />
<br />
[[Lainseworth Ravencraft]]- One of Rio's close friends from before the Calamity; Rio is immensely fond of the little Lalafell. She tries to treat him with a measure of respect, given his position and talents as her coworker; but usually is reduced to high pitch squeals and headpats and hugs in his incredibly cute presence. Even having gained the ability to speak, Rio's condition when it comes to Lainse has hardly improved.<br />
<br />
[[Eric Verus]]- An employee of Corvus Cinis that Rio met briefly during a tense encounter with Deirdre. After she found out about his background, she developed a measure of respect for him; to the point where she forged a gunblade for him to use against Souyo, which he promptly broke and lost in the snows of Coerthas. She's somewhat sore about that still.<br />
<br />
[[Souyo Xander]]- A man who was corrupted by the power of a dark crystal and waged a private war against Corvus Cinis. Rio had always seen Souyo's death as a means to an end, but holds no personal vendetta against him.<br />
<br />
[[Deirdre Ta'ea]]- A former Eorzean Guard member that Rio once served with. Given her propensity for stabbing people and generally threatening nature, Rio tends to be scared stiff of her. She is, in Rio's words, "A terrifying, horrible, super mean, stab-you-in-the-gut, jerk!".<br />

<br />
*'''Height:''' Slightly on the shorter side, roughly 5'2"<br />
<br />
*'''Weight:''' Roughly average.<br />
<br />
*'''Body:''' Rio is lithely muscled, due to the amount of physical activity that goes with her profession.<br />
<br />
*'''Hair:''' Dark red, with lighter red highlights. She usually wears it tied up in pigtails on the front of her head.<br />
<br />
*'''Eyes:''' Deep red, with a tinge of dark brown. She also has a pure white eye located on her forehead that she tends to comb her hair over to keep it hidden.<br />
<br />
*'''Skin:''' Somewhat tanned. She tends to tan easier than she burns.<br />
<br />
*'''Clothing: ''' Rio tends to wear lighter, more comfortable fabrics; oftentimes showing a lot of skin. This is due to her work environment normally being a stuffy, hot, airship engine room. She also usually has some sort of explosive or device stuffed into every nook and cranny of her outfit, and usually modifies them with extra straps or secret pockets to facilitate cramming even MORE volatile devices onto her person. (Such as storing sticks of dynamite in the heels of her boots.)<br />
:When working, however, she tends to favor heavy sets of plate armor. She usually modifies this armor with a number of devices such as hidden guns and compartments for holding devices.<br />

<br />
''"Some women just want to see the world burn."''<br />
<br />
:'''Alignment:'''Chaotic Neutral<br />
<br />
:'''Personality:'''More often than not, Rio tends to act as a complete, over the edge [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Cloudcuckoolander cloudcuckoolander]. Her head is normally in the clouds; or when she is in touch with reality, she's normally extremely off-kilter. With an appetite for massive explosions and lots and lots of fire, Rio is the very personification of the "Sapper" fantasy archetype. She seems almost distant from most negatively charged situations, and usually it takes quite a bit for her to process when she's supposed to be angry or sad.<br />
:She does, however, take a rather twisted joy in destruction and the massive explosions her often incredibly volatile inventions tend to create. Although she's entirely capable of creating fine, orderly inventions for the good of mankind, Rio apparently has chucked any notion of "stooping" to that out the window a long time ago. She views destruction as an art, and not only dedicates herself to building bigger bombs, but also other varieties of heavy ordinance. (Such as attaching guns to every weapon she gets her hands on, as well as building long range cannons of ever size to deliver her explosive gifts to the world.) <br />
:Despite her near-genius intellect, Rio normally appears more than a little dimwitted, leaving people amazed when they find out that she actually does know her stuff. She's also fiercely loyal to anyone who earns her trust, to the point where individuals such as Alothia or Misaio can point at something and tell her to blow it up and it will be rubble in seconds, no questions asked. <br />
<br />
:'''Morals:''' Rio tends to act in ways that benefit Rio. Though this tends to extend to people that she values, she doesn't pay much mind to those that she doesn't. She tends to care little for the laws of the realm, and tends to commit crimes like robbery or murder without so much a thought for the consequences. After all, if it's good for Rio, it must be good for everyone, right?<br />

::Due to the heavily militaristic culture of the Empire, Rio has trained in an array of martial disciplines from a young age. However, she shows an aptitude for the axe especially; which she wields with deadly, and painfully obvious, force.

<br />
'''Ancestry''<br />
::Rio's family comes from a long line of Garlean Miqo'te going all the way back to when the former republic was barely formed. An offshoot clan of Seeker of the Sun Miqo'te was one of the first aggressors out of many to attack the fledgling nation. This clan, who's name has been lost to history, was soundly trounced by the formidable fighters of the republican guard; and their leaders were captured. So, in exchange for becoming one of the few allies of Garlemald, the Miqo'te would be allowed to live freely amongst them.<br />
::Over time, this Seeker of the Sun clan's tribal traditions were replaced by those of their Garlean allies, and they became a part of the republic. They cast off the name "Seekers of the Sun" and became Garlemald's own "Children of Steel"; sworn to serve the republic for the rest of their days, They took up traditionally Garlean names and traditions, and a few of them even rose into the nobility of the republic, and later the empire. The Rosch family was one of those families.<br />
<br />
''She's a Magitek Woman''<br />
::Rio van Rosch was born to a pair of Imperial engineers, with her mother hailing from a prestigious house of Children of Steel Miqo'te known as the house of Rosch: and her father being another child of steel who's house name had been lost in the tribe's transition from savage tribals to civilized soldiers of the Empire. The two were wed by their coworkers in a small, abandoned airship hangar in the Bozja Citadel, and for a time, life was good, peaceful even. Perry and Alya carried about their work, toiling for the good of the Empire. After a time, Perry himself was even accepted into the house of Rosch, becoming Perry van Rosch. <br />
::And of course, as such things go, Alya eventually became pregnant by Perry and bore a single daughter, everyone's favorite Rio van Rosch. The small child was blessed, in that she had enough of the pure blood of the Empire to be born with a third eye upon her forehead, as all pureblooded Garelans have. Years passed uneventfully around the small family until the year of Ala Mihgo's fall, when they decided to return to the Rosch Family's seat of influence in Garlemald proper for the sake of young Rio's education.<br />
::Perry and Alya, being the team that they were, were brought on as engineers nearly directly under Cid nan Garlond, a minister of magitek in the capital city. Rio began attending a prestigious school, where she learned the various disciplines that any young Garlean of rank might learn. However, it was Rio's experiences outside her education that would set her course in life. <br />
::Having magiengineers as parents, Rio was exposed frequently to the art and science that is magitek. She found herself fascinated by all the strange and awe-inspiring creations her family had a hand in while working under Cid, and found a craving for knowledge awaken in her. She would locate books on magitek (small ones, she's only nine turns old at this point) and devour the information contained within. Instead of playing with friends like many children her age, Rio would accompany her parents to their work, watching from a safe distance and helping where she could. She met with Cid nan Garlond quite a bit during this time in her life, mainly because they just happened to be in the same place at the same time.<br />
::She was not, however, without friends. Her best friend, Gidget Throttle, shared her enthusiasm for magiengineering, and accompanied her on these trips to the workshops and hangars that she spent so much of her childhood in. <br />

<br />
Rio suddenly reappeared roughly five years after the calamity at the Cold Moon Gala. Although she didn't end up as a Warrior of Light, she didn't speak of where she had departed to since the calamity happened. However, she did reunite with Alothia and the rest of Corvus Cinis, and rejoined the company the same day. <br />
When Lainseworth approached Corvus, offering a way to regain his voice, Rio participated in a raid into the Haukke Manor to fulfill the requirements to use the dark magic. Outside the manor, she was reunited with Misaio, her captain.<br />

<br />
[[Misaio Imella]]- The individual closest to Rio before she went missing, Rio and Misaio are very close friends. Misaio captains the airship that Rio works on and Rio would follow her into the seven hells if need be. Rio has resumed her work as Misaio's second-in-command, following her orders to the letter. She's also smitten with the woman, though she respects her too much to really act upon it.<br />
<br />
[[Alothia Starkwood]]- Rio's boss in Corvus Cinis prior to her departure with Misaio. Rio is immensely loyal to Alothia even now, and would probably still make good on her promise to "melt anyone that hurts her." She was reunited with her after the Calamity and rejoined Alothia's company.<br />
<br />
[[Lily Dawnsworn]]- The second-in-command of Corvus Cinis that Rio loves to tease. Although sometimes Lily can act cold to her, Rio presses on undaunted to make her as silly as the rest of the company. She likes to flirt with her, although she doesn't have much real interest in her romantically.<br />
<br />
[[Vash Ashford]]- An employee of Corvus Cinis Rio met after the calamity. Rio's not quite sure what to make of him yet, but gauges him to be pretty harmless, at least. She's come to believe that the one thing that he does excel at is being a minion or henchman.<br />
<br />
[[Lainseworth Ravencraft]]- One of Rio's close friends from before the Calamity; Rio is immensely fond of the little Lalafell. She tries to treat him with a measure of respect, given his position and talents as her coworker; but usually is reduced to high pitch squeals and headpats and hugs in his incredibly cute presence. Even having gained the ability to speak, Rio's condition when it comes to Lainse has hardly improved.<br />
<br />
[[Eric Verus]]- An employee of Corvus Cinis that Rio met briefly during a tense encounter with Deirdre. After she found out about his background, she developed a measure of respect for him; to the point where she forged a gunblade for him to use against Souyo, which he promptly broke and lost in the snows of Coerthas. She's somewhat sore about that still.<br />
<br />
[[Souyo Xander]]- A man who was corrupted by the power of a dark crystal and waged a private war against Corvus Cinis. Rio had always seen Souyo's death as a means to an end, but holds no personal vendetta against him.<br />
<br />
[[Deirdre Ta'ea]]- A former Eorzean Guard member that Rio once served with. Given her propensity for stabbing people and generally threatening nature, Rio tends to be scared stiff of her. She is, in Rio's words, "A terrifying, horrible, super mean, stab-you-in-the-gut, jerk!".<br />

Alothia grew up in the forest of the Eastern Shroud, near Hyrstmill. She came from a small family consisting of her father, mother and younger sister. Her childhood was a happy one, with the only problem being that her parents were always working and didn't have a ton of time to spend with her. Alothia saw what this did to her parents, this constant working, and decided that she didn't want to be a slave to work. It was about the same time that Alothia realized that she had a gift for getting people to like her and befriend her...she had become a manipulator. With these skills, she left home against the will of her parents at the age of 15. It was not a peaceful leaving, and things were said and done at the time that Alothia doesn't like to discuss.<br />
<br />
<spoiler><br />
"My mother's name was Aughinae and my father's Emet. We lived in a small community not far away from Hyrstmill. My parents didn't leave the tribes, their parents had left...so I never knew what it was like growing up in that world. But, because my family wasn't a part of that group, they had to work extra hard to make it." She sighed at this point. "I remember being little and trying to get my parents' attention...but they were always working on something...I know it wasn't always like that, but that's what I remember most."<br />
She shifted a little. "When I was 8, my sister Lini was born. She was cute...but she took what little time my parents had for me away. Over the next 7 turns, I grew more and more distant from my home, and started hanging out with kids from other families, and a lot of the kids I met when we took trips to the city to sell our goods." She played with the hem of her top. "I liked the freedom of the cities. I liked the people I met there. They liked me...I found I was...good...at getting people to do what I wanted."<br />
She took the next part slow. "I ran away at 15. I remember screaming at my parents. I remember my mother crying...and then I left. And I never went back."<br />
Her eyes glazed over, old feelings being dredged up, tears pooling at their corners. "I never got to apologize...when we came back from the skip, I went there to find them...but the house was gone. It was completely burned to the ground. There was nothing left..."<br />
<br />
She wiped at the tears still left in her eyes and went on. "Life in the city was...very strange. I had made it a point to myself that I wouldn't become lost in work. So instead, I found no work at all. Instead, I let other people work for me. They did the dirty work. They got hurt. And I didn't care. I didn't really know any of them. They were merely faces that I could utilize to my end. It was a very hedonistic way of thinking, I know." She shrugged, the familiar feelings flooding her again. "I would take on jobs and send people out of them. Usually they were legitimate. Things like delivering a package...at least that's how it started. But I grew greedy. And my heart hardened. Why shouldn't I make more money? What was to stop me?" She shuddered. "I felt...powerful. People as my little pawns to use to my own end. I wasn't the one doing the work, so why should I care? Why would I care?"<br />
<br />
She clenched her fists, "And so I began to take on more dangerous lines of work. Theiving. Roughing. Murder." She laughed callously, "But my hands are clean...for the most part. There were a few...tasks...I rather enjoyed." She opened her palm to show the familiar burning flame. "I was quite the firestarter~" She blew into her palm until the flame went out again, then closed her hand and her eyes.<br />
<br />
“By the time I was 20, I had built quite a name for myself in the shadier circles. People came to me with jobs, and I took them all. My network of people was changing...I wasn't so sure what the people I was hiring were doing. Didn't care. I did befriend one girl...she was a young hyur thing. I suppose she reminded me of Lini. She wanted to please me so badly...so I sent her out on a job. I didn't think it would be a big deal. Go and steal a small thing..." <br />
<br />
"When...when we found her...she was mutilated...she had been raped...they cut words into her flesh and left her there...they knew she was working for me and left her barely alive....they would have given her mercy had they killed her." She closed her eyes again. "It hit me then, the gravity of my actions. I left the city and wandered after that. I needed time to think..." She sobbed then, small squeaking noises escaping from her lips. "I was a horrible person..."<br />
<br />
<br />
</spoiler><br />
<br />
<br />
The next few years of her life were not so good. She managed to do well for herself, but at the cost of others. Many people were used in order to keep Alothia afloat, including a young Miqo'te girl. She was one of Alothia's lackeys, and she was sent out to do a job...which ended up being much more than was bargained for. When the girl returned to Alothia; bruised, battered, and broken; Alothia finally saw firsthand the damage that she was doing to others. She stopped her illegal dealings, and managed to run into a childhood friend, Frosty Mouse, who managed to help her set up a small mercenary company.<br />
<br />
The company thrived, growing from a small group of 2 or 3 workers, to a more extensive company. With the help of Zenge Eien, she named the company Corvus Cinis, after Zenge's old unit within the Garlean Army. While her company was thriving, she met one Mister Oskar Helvig, and they began a relationship. This relationship caused much dissension within the company as many of her employees did not like Oskar or the way that he seemingly manipulated Alothia. <br />
<br />
About 4 moons into their relationship, Oskar felt that he needed a break, and he and Alothia parted ways. Lost in her loneliness, Alothia focused on her company, strengthening it's bonds and helping to bring new employees into the fold. She kindled a new relationship with colleague and friend, Zenge Eien with whom she feelt much more at ease. Their relationship was passionate and just what Alothia needed to bring her focus back to the company and what was important.<br />
<br />
However, as the moons went on, Zenge grew more and more distant, spending much more time out on patrols for the Twin Adders. By the time the Calamity hit, Alothia and Zenge were completely separated. Zenge left, worried that his ties to the Garlean Empire would mean trouble for Alothia, and indeed they did. Constantly worried about being hunted down, Alothia fled deep into the Twelveswood to hide. She was not seen by the company nor any others for quite sometime. Yet the day that Dalmud fell, Alothia, determined to do her part, came out of hiding to help tend the wounds of those in the battle. While she did not see any of her companions there, she felt that she had at least done her part when it mattered most.<br />

<br />
'''Right Afterward'''<br />
<br />
<spoiler><br />
Alothia appeared again in the middle of the Twelveswood completely bewildered and unsure of what had just happened. The next few weeks went by in a blur, Alothia searching the Twelveswood for people she knew. On her travels, she found Endricane, equally as bewildered. They made their way to Quarrymill, or what was left of it, to try to find Kass. Instead, they found a house burnt to the ground, and no one who could tell them what had happened. Afterward, they made their way to where Alothia had grown up, only to find a similar situation. In their mutual grief they comforted each other, and then parted ways. Alothia then traveled to the three city states.<br />
<br />
First, Alothia traveled to Gridania, searching for word of her parents and sister. There, she signed back up with the Twin Adders, and checked in with the Stillglade Fane. While there, she helped for a few weeks with healing the sick. She also learned about the skip, and that five years had passed since the battle of Cartineau Flats. She was dumbstruck and did not leave her in room for several days. Finally, she decided to head to Ul'Dah to check on her properties.<br />
<br />
When she traveled there, the first thing she did was go to the Corvus Cinis headquarters, but found the building silent. She asked local merchants if they knew who currently owned the place, but none of them could tell her anything about the man who seemed to be living there. She frequented the Mineral Concern and the merchant stalls trying to catch wind of anyone she knew, until finally she heard that other people like her had been heading to Limsa Lominsa to the Soliloquy tavern.<br />
<br />
In the next few weeks, she made her way across Thanalan to La Noseca and eventually Limsa Lominsa. She managed to secure a room at the Mizzenmast and began traveling the city looking for familiar faces. She was pleased to see that Soliloquy was what everyone had said, a gathering ground for people like her. There she was reunited with Xenedra and Kass, and met quite a few other people.<br />
<br />
The suns went on, and she met a young Hyur named Paradyme Capellago. They began seeing each other on an exclusive basis, and quickly progressed that relationship from dating to being engaged. Everything was fine until Para's brother, Joshua, came looking for him. Alothia, along with her friends Lainseworth and Vash, made a daring rescue attempt. They managed to get Para back, but at the loss of the evil man who had captured him. Eventually, this resentment took a toll on their relationship, and Para quickly broke off the engagement, and slept with another woman, causing a rift between the two of them that could not be repaired as far as a relationship was concerned.<br />
</spoiler><br />
----<br />
<br />
'''Love...quadrangles?'''<br />
<br />
<spoiler>Following the breakup that Para thrust upon her, Alothia became a sad individual, spending much of her time alone and contemplating. Her friends, however, did not want her to be alone. Eric and Lily began spending more time with her in an attempt to cheer her. Feelings, however, soon developed between Eric and Alothia, but that wasn't the end of it. After a trip to Soliloquy and an excursion in Limsa Lominsa, Alothia soon started having similar feelings for Kanko Saou, a seemingly surly Miqo'te. To further complicate matters, after a surprise training session from her friend Mikael, she also found herself having feelings for him as well.<br />
<br />
This was all a bit too much for the miqo'te woman, and after a week or two of being mired in the misery of indecision, Alothia decided that she needed to take a step back from all of them, and headed out to Coerthas. Kanko, however, followed her, and after a while, Alothia found that her heart had made her decision for her. This too, didn't come without complications. Deirdre Ta'ea, sometimes friend and sometimes foe, also had feelings for Kanko, which she kept hidden. <br />
<br />
Once the pair returned from Coerthas, they attended the Seventh Annual Full Cold Moon Gala, with the rest of Corvus Cinis. The crowd was too much, however, and the majority of Corvus made their way to Camp Bronze Lake for some rest and relaxation. While there, Deirdre showed up, and threatened to kill Para for breaking his vow to Alothia, and ended up in a skirmish with Kanko as well. Alothia, seemingly defeated, stepped back and let them fight it out, with Deirdre fleeing at the end, and Alothia tending to Kanko's wounds.<br />
<br />
A few suns later, Kanko approached Deirdre to confront her about the situation, and to retrieve the pendant she had stolen. When he returned, Alothia spoke with him of the conversation that he had had with Deirdre, which included Deirdre confessing her love for him. Alothia expected him to change his mind with his decision, but was instead surprised with his own confession of love. Having harbored the same feelings herself, she returned the sentiments, even if she was still a bit wary of the situation with Deirdre.<br />

'''The Tale of Souyo Xander'''<br />
<br />
((This summary is copied from the AST/CC forums, and was written by Eric Verus)) <br />
<br />
<spoiler><br />
<br />
- A Corvus upon itself - (9/15/13 - 9/21/13)<br />
<br />
Corvus Cinis has been betrayed from within. The veteran Souyo Xander has betrayed his allies by succumbing to the influence of a darkened crystal that draws out the negative impulses in a person, in an attempt to gain power. The darkness within has pulled Souyo into a conquest to kill all Garleans, potentially purging, even those among Eorzean Citizenry, in retaliation to the travesties of the Garlean Military occupying parts of Eorzea. Lily Dawnsworn, Lainsworth Ravencraft, and Eric Verus met Souyo on the field of battle, and were soundly defeated by the powers both a crystal of darkness, and a crystal of light that Souyo once bore as a Paladin.<br />
<br />
To make matters worse,Vash Ashford, the cheerful Miqo’te member of the Company, as well as the strange Seeress known as ‘K’oriah’ were also corrupted under the influence of the Dark Crystal and pulled to Souyo’s side. Displaying that any member could be potentially vulnerable the company Leaders Alothia Starkwood and Lily Dawnsworn called for a lockdown on communications on the Company’s Linkshell communications, in an effort to protect members from further attacks. Meanwhile, Eric Verus launched a silent inquiry, using his skills in the Arcane and his experience in his encounter with the Dark Crystal to help verify allies and put the leadership at better ease.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, not all were alerted to the goings on in process, and the Sorcerer Starwind Meladon was captured and held hostage, and Paradyme Capellago was shot by a Darksteel Arrow from Vash Ashford. Demands were made for Lily Dawnsworn, Eric Verus, and Alothia Starkwood to meet Souyo near the mountain ridge of Behemoth’s Dominion, in exchange for Starwind’s safe return. While left no other choice to comply, the trio were not content to simply walk into what they knew was a trap and each, individually and as a group formulated their own plans for confronting the corrupted Dragoon and his cohorts…<br />
<br />
<br />
- The Battle of the Dominion - (9/22/13)<br />
<br />
The two Trio’s met in Behemoth’s Dominion, where Souyo surrendered the unconscious Starwind as agreed, however, when Eric called reinforcements to gather the man, the Seeress K’oriah summoned a large Voidsent to attack the group, and thus a large battle began in earnest.<br />
<br />
Lily moved to engage Souyo, while Eric and Alothia engaged the Voidsent and the remaining two opponents with surprises of their own. Eric decided that his loyalty to Corvus superseded the bounds of law, and brought with him a Garlean Gunblade, which he used to keep Vash’s arrows at bay, while displaying a tremendous amount of magical resistance to spells and curses alike. While Alothia performed like an elemental fiend unleashed, displaying a level of offensive power not yet seen from her previously.<br />
<br />
Yet even as the Voidkin was bested with the might of Magic, and the Souyo and company began to feel pressure on all ends, the roaring cry of the Behemoth could be heard as it approached… it seemed that both companies would soon face the rampage of the great Beast of the Dominion.<br />
<br />
Fortunately, reinforcements from Corvus Cinus by distress calls, arrived just in time to engage the hearty beast. Among the many brave heroes of note:<br />
<br />
Tayn Zolin, whose quick wit and scouting lead the impromptu reinforcements to reach the Dominion just in time.<br />
<br />
Lainsworth Ravenclaw, recently re-emerging with renewing Paladin powers , whom was able to rearm Lily at a critical moment with Giantsgall Sword dubbed ‘Justice’.<br />
<br />
Mixie Trixie, able to show unique skills and powers to the Prismatic Crystal reacquired from Alothia on the field.<br />
<br />
Rio van Rash, who appeared herself on the field to aid the wounded at Eric’s behest, even after smuggling him her hand-crafted gunblade.<br />
<br />
Paradyme and Rhashi - who made sure in all the chaos Starwin Maleon and other wounded made it to safety from the battle, putting even their own lives at risk to save others.<br />
<br />
- among many others, even allies not yet members of Corvus Cinius.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, as Lily began to drive Souyo back with skilled swordsmanship, some of which learned from Souyo’s own personal diaries. Alothia unleashed a powerful fireball inadvertently that would have scorched Eric along with Vash and K’oriah, though the Seeress mysteriously placed herself in more direct danger to push Eric to safety, much to his surprise.<br />
<br />
However, the forces of the Darkened Crystal had one last card to play. Battered and burned, Vash Ashford detonated the cliffside, which had been secretly packed with explosives. This triggered a landslide that injured many member of Corvus Cinis, as well as pinning the Behemoth beneath the rubble. Alothia and Eric both were flung from the cliffs in the explosion, landing hard upon the snow below. Alothia collided with a rock and lost consciousness, with Eric’s previous wounds and surgery scars being strained to the point of re-opening on landing.<br />
<br />
Souyo capitalized on the moment of weakness in the beast, and slammed his spear into the skull of the Behemoth,revealing his intention in the creatures dying wails. A Lightened Crystal, which he aimed to claim for his own, were it not for the pursuit of Lily who tossed Souyo’s old Paladin blade to knock it from his hands had sprung from the Behemoth’s life force. The Crystal Emitted a field of energy that prevented all others from interfering, and the two reengaged into their duel, fighting over who would claim this new source of power.<br />
<br />
Vash and K’oriah began to make their escape from the Dominion, climbing up the cliffs of the craggy mountains, when they were met by the arrival of K’anko Tia, who had scaled the mountain by hand to single handedly ambush a flee-attempt from Corvus’s foes, in spite of discharging himself from the Company earlier. Tossing the Mage to the side, K’anko engaged Vash directly in combat, forcing the Seer to look onto the violence from afar.<br />
<br />
Souyo fought with new Ferocity, meaning to claim the crystal for his own. However just as he was about to strike downwards from a powerful blow that would have dealt a grievous wound, Eric, having closed his wounds through sheer force of magical power and assistance from his Eos, unleashed a ruin spell that struck the man in mid-air, making the would be powerful strike into a battle-deciding blunder, giving Lily the opportunity to claim the Lightened Crystal for her own, and force the man to flee from the scene.<br />
<br />
<br />
- Aftermath of the Battle -<br />
<br />
Due to interference from the Fleeing Souyo, Kanko suffered severe wounds in his battle with Vash. However, he did not leave empty handed. The Miqo’te fighter managed to capture Vash, who fell unconscious to his wounds, and drag the youth from the Dominion to Corvus Cinus headquarters in Fallgourd Float, where the Remainder of the Company had gathered post battle.<br />
<br />
In spite of wounds of their own, Mixie, Eric, and Sesseriku, a friend of the the Company, all went to tend the others over themselves. However, they were met by Deirdre Ta’ea, who, after questioning Eric’s intentions for the captured Vash Ashford, decided to take him herself for her own intentions. Too weak and weary from the fighting, Eric decided against engaging the Elezen woman, and commanded the Company to stand down and allow her to leave with the Miqo’te traitor - shortly before collapsing to exhaustion himself.<br />
<br />
Sesseriku was finally given a pearl to the Company by Lily, in thanks for all his deeds - marking the first new recruitment to the Company since the betrayal, and a shift in the tides of the conflict.<br />
<br />
- A moment’s Respite - (9/23/13 - ??/??/??)<br />
<br />
The Pearl Souyo had in order to capitalize on communication was destroyed, his plan to acquire another crystal of power foiled, yet he was still at large, with many members of Corvus wounded or exhausted to collapse. The Company, however, won a small victory in earning the security of their communications once more and some semblance of normalcy could return. With Souyo having to face defeat at the loss of his own objective, there would be a moment’s pause in which he would have to reassess his tactics, and for the moment, a measure of peace would be enjoyed.<br />
<br />
However, for those closest to the conflict, this time would be a matter of preparation, for they aimed to make the next confrontation with Souyo the last.<br />
<br />

<br />
Eric, who had suffered under his exhaustion, mysteriously recovered after a heavily fevered day of unconsciousness. Concerned for events, he retreated for some time of meditation, and was promptly chastised by Lily, who asked him not to make a habit of such sudden disappearances.<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, the more stationary Alothia and K'anko resorted to a series of prank-letters, plaguing Lily and Eric with jokes regarding the pair. After a frustration-inspired bout of drinking, however the bonds of trust between Lily and Eric were strengthened as Lily confided her past to the Arcanist privately.<br />
<br />
Vash Ashford was put to question by Deirdre, and it was found that separation from the corrupting power of the Darkened Crystal actually resulted in a form of madness, and during a Prisoner Transfer, he made an escape under circumstances Eric calls into question, but does not get an straight answer from K'anko. Conversation's spark once again about the safety of the Company as a whole, and it is agreed upon that Corvus Headquarters be temporarily moved to the Observatory in Corthas Highlands for the protection of the company.</spoiler><br />

<br />
*[[Abaigeal Causland]]: The sprightly bartenderess of Soliloquy. Alothia enjoys talking with her, and could see her becoming a close friend, if she could ever catch the woman when she is not at work.<br />
<br />
*[[Belisar Starkwood]]: Alothia's "brother." He was captured by the Garleans for lurking too close to Castrum Novum, and managed to escape with a spoon.<br />
<br />
*[[Burgenheim Rousa]]: Burgen was a close companion of Alothia before the Calamity. Since then, Burgenheim has opened his own inn, one that Alothia visits from time to time.<br />
<br />
*[[Deirdre Ta'ea]]: Alothia knows Deirdre through dealings with the Guard. She respects Deirdre's skills, and generally finds her to be a fine companion, however she grew wary of Deirdre , after Deirdre attempted to stab Fearless. After Aly and Oskar ended their relationship, Deirdre began dating Oskar, during which time Aly had little to no contact with her. More recently, however, Deirdre threatened to kill Para should he break her heart, and once he did, Deirdre made no secret of her wishes to kill him. Alothia persuaded her to not kill him. Alothia is now unsure of how to act around Deirdre, after realizing that the woman has feelings for K'anko. She is wary of Deir and treads lightly around her. She wishes to repair the damage done, but doesn't know how to approach the situation.<br />
<br />
*[[Endricane Feltaro]]: Endricane was [[Kassandra Dawn]]'s lover, and father of her child. After the Calamity, Alothia ran into Endricane, and together they searched for Kass. When Kass wasn't found, they were both distraught. Alothia saw Endricane once or twice more in Soliloquy, but hasn't seen him since. She believes that he may have been severely injured in battle, and may possibly be dead.<br />
<br />
*[[Eric Verus]]: Eric is a new member of Corvus Cinis, and has managed to secure a place in Alothia's heart. She likes that he sees her for who she is, someone who was broken in the past but who is trying to make amends for her past. Aside from the emotional and physical attractions she has for him, she also thinks that he is generally a nice guy, and she appreciates his thoughtful commentary. Recent events brought to light the fact that the curse he is carrying is actually the beginnings of a voidsent. Alothia must help him remove the curse or kill him...neither of which are excellent prospects.<br />
<br />
*[[Fearless Wynn]]: Alothia trusts Fearless completely, and even secretly admires that he stands up for her, even when she doesn't show it. She will often exact punishment on Fearless for his dealings, but never really means any of it to harm Fearless or make him mad. Fearless left for home during the long break for Heavensturn and returned to the company shortly after. They spent some time together before The Calamity, and have since reunited again.<br />
<br />
*[[K'anko Tia]]: K'anko is the fiery fighter with whom Alothia has found a connection. With K'anko, Alothia can let the pretenses fall, and she appreciates his candid honesty. They have fought a couple of times, their skills being fairly evenly matched. Emotionally, Alothia feels drawn to K'anko because he inspires in her a sense of wonder and exploration. He does not see her past as a problem, and instead encourages her to focus on the present. After her trip to Coerthas, Alothia made her choice, and decided that she enjoyed K'anko's company more than anyone else's. Their relationship is fiery and passionate, fuled by mutual understanding of their natures. Their relationship is complicated, however, with the revelation that Deirdre also harbors feelings for K'anko.<br />
<br />
*[[Kassandra Dawn]]: Secretary for [[Corvus Cinis]]. Alothia sees Kass as a good friend, someone she could tell most anything to without fear of it getting out. Kass used to be an innocent soul, until she started dating [[Endricane Feltaro]]. Their relationship became quickly serious. Kass got with child from him, but was separated from him during the Calamity. During the five year interval, Kass changed greatly, and unfortunately grew distant from Alothia and Corvus. Alothia longs for the friendship that they used to have, but knows that Gwen is Kass' priority now, so she doesn't intrude.<br />
<br />
*[[Kiyone Bloodrose]]: The woman who helped save Lainseworth's life during the Joshua incident. Alothia finds the woman amusing, due to her flighty speech patterns and behavior.<br />
<br />
*[[Lainseworth Ravencraft]]: Lainseworth is a young lalafell that Alothia has taken on as an adoptive brother. He always knows the right thing to say, even if he doesn't speak. Together, they have been through much, and Alothia counts him among her closest confidants.<br />
<br />
*[[Leanna Milose]]: Leanna is one of the lalas that Aly has developed an attachment to. Leanna is a fierce fighter, and Aly is happy to have her as part of the Corvus team.<br />
<br />
*[[Lily Dawnsworn]]: Another employee of [[Corvus Cinis]]. Alothia respects Lily deeply, often wishing that she had as much skill and training with weapons as she does. Lily left after Heavensturn, and returned briefly around the time of Little Ladies Day, only to disappear again. Once Alothia returned to Eorzea from the time rift, she met up with Lily once more. Lily has become an even closer friend, and is currently Alothia's second in command at Corvus.<br />
<br />
*[[Mikael Imperius]]: Mikael is a large highlander, who originally planned on helping teach Alothia to become stronger and more agile. All of those plans went out the window, however, after their first training session. Through talking of their pasts, they found that their pasts were more similar than they once thought, and the platonic relationship quickly found that it could end up being something more. Alothia sees a kinship in Mikael that she hasn't found in anyone else, as he has a broken past that he too atones for every day. When she ran off without telling anyone where she was going, Mikael was deeply hurt. While they are still friends, there is now a heavy tension forged by the hurt that she caused him when she rejected him.<br />
<br />
*[[Oskar Helvig]]: Alothia's ex-boyfriend. She was deeply in love with him once, and still doesn't quite understand what went wrong between them. She wastorn with her feelings because she would like to be friends, but doesn't feel that that was an acceptable move. Still has some feelings of resentment over the breakup. She did not need to hide her relationship with Zenge, as Oskar moved on as well. They still remained cordial up until his untimely disappearance from the usual haunts. Alothia believes that Oskar returned to the Caves of his family, perhaps never to return to the surface again.<br />
<br />
*[[Paradyme Capellago]]: A red-headed hyur she met one evening at the Mineral Concern. After a night of drinking and drinking games, Alothia ended up making out with the fellow, which she quite enjoyed. Since then, they've gone out on a couple of dates, spent some time chatting and other things, and began dating seriously. They were both being watched by Para's brother and torturer, Joshua Nightcross. Alothia managed to overtake the man, killing him, and freeing Para from the man's tyranny. A few suns after the incident, he surprised her by proposing. Only a few weeks after that, however, Paradyme grew increasingly worried about his relationship with her. In a flash, he changed his mind, and ended the relationship, leaving Alothia feeling quite dumbstruck. While they will not return to what they once had, Alothia believes that they can still be friends, and actively works on trying to make at least that work.<br />
<br />
*[[Relani saion]]: Alothia thinks Relani, while strong, was naive and an idiot, after she left Zenge for stupid reasons.<br />
<br />
*[[Rhu'to Brom]]: A surly miqo'te who appears to be in the same business as Corvus. Alothia sees him as a challenge, either to match wits or to melt his icy heart. Either way, he's fun to tease.<br />
<br />
*[[Tessa Jalloh]]: Tessa is an eccentric Miqo'te who came to Ul'Dah from one of the tribe islands. After the Calamity, Tessa was a changed woman, no longer the woman that Alothia once knew. Alothia has difficulty understanding exactly what happened to Tessa, and hopes to serve as a source of comfort for the woman's confusion.<br />
<br />
*[[Tanum Ashurna]]: Tanum is a drunkard, has little tact, and is a heck of a fun guy to go drinking with. Aly likes his ideas for making money on the side, and with him, began making whiskey, served at Soliloquy as Corvus Reserve.<br />
<br />
*[[Vash Ashford]]: A miqo'te male that Alothia has met a couple of times before. She asked for his help in the rescue of Para, and laughed in his face when his boss manhandled him. She would like to get to know him better, as he seems to be an enthusiastic young man...Perhaps she could fix up her sister with him.<br />
<br />
*[[Xenedra Ambreaus]]: The owner of Soliloquy. Alothia has known her since before the Calamity, and although they are not close, close, she does feel kinship with the woman, and enjoys her company.<br />
<br />
*[[Zenge Eien]]: One of Alothia's closest friends, turned boyfriend. She enjoys Zenge's company, and his broken Eorzean speech patterns. She sees him as a kindred spirit as someone who followed the wrong path in the past and who is constantly trying to better himself and atone for what he did. She finds him a refreshing change from Oskar, as he is more of a partner than a controller, and is far more open with his thoughts and feelings. She still feels bad about what she did to Zenge regarding his Garlean heritage, and this drives some of her interactions with him. Shortly after Heavensturn, Zenge accompanied a group of scouts with the Twin Adder to run reconaissance on the Garlean forces. He was ever more absent from her side, until eventually he broke off all contact with her completely due to threats from the Garlean Army. Alothia has not seen Zenge since a moon before the Calamity.<br />

<br />
<br />
Tayn is an affectionate man who wears his heart on his sleeve. Nothing is more important to him than family - and thus he is dedicated to taking care of his brother and sister. He has a strong sense of right and wrong, and frequently he has this irritating habit of rushing into situations headfirst because of it. Oftentimes, mostly as a mask, Tayn cracks inappropriate jokes and obsesses over sandwiches. Another interesting quirk is no matter what the situation aside from battle, if he idles long enough, his right hand always finds its way to his hip and his back pocket. In short, Tayn is the kind of man you love, or love to hate, and because of this, can make quick friends or bitter rivals of anyone he meets within minutes.<br />

<br />
There is little information about Tayn that he is willing to part with, since he keeps his past close to the vest. However what is known about him is that Tayn is a simple man with simple dreams, with some interesting hobbies on the side. He lived a peaceful life with his sister Lyra and brother Lexouritis, until Garlemald began its conquest in Eorzea. That in turn would initiate a chain of events leading to being seperated from his family, the death of his parents, a subsequent meeting with Lily Dawnsworn, and the Ala Mhigan Insurgence/Resistance. For the next five years, Tayn would become a liason and a contact within Garlemald and Ala Mhigo, now under Garlean occupation.<br />

<br />
<br />
*[[Lily Dawnsworn]]: A Midlander from Ala Mhigo, who Tayn imparts information concerning the Garlean occupation in her homeland, and the second-in-command of Corvus Cinis. He purposefully drives her nuts with his antics, but deep down, Tayn looks out for her whenever he can.<br />
<br />
*[[Alothia Starkwood]]: Leader of Corvus Cinis. Tayn does not know Alothia too well, but he recognizes her for who she is: the one in charge. Entry #3 in Tayn's list of "Who I Wouldn't Mind Getting To Know."<br />
<br />
*[[Vash Ashford]]: About the only thing Tayn knows about Vash is that he A) was one of the members of Corvus Cinis who defected, and B) likes Lily.<br />
<br />
*[[Lainseworth Ravencraft]]: A Lalafell who despite Tayn's antics, seems to treat the Midlander with respect and reverence. Tayn is only now learning more about him, as he met Lainseworth after he had recovered his voice.<br />
<br />
*[[K'anko Tia]]: A member of Corvus Cinis that is currently in a relationship with Alothia Starkwood. Tayn once called K'anko, "Kank-ho," mostly as a joke, but he lets it slip every now and then when the mood is down, much to K'anko's disgust.<br />
<br />
*[[Eric Verus]]: An intellectual that is a member of Corvus Cinis. He doesn't dislike him, but he makes for a good muse to bounce jokes off of.<br />
<br />
*[[Starwind Meladon]]: A member of Corvus Cinis, and one of Tayn's constant targets. Due to the fact Tayn views Starwind as a man without a sense of humor, he would go at great lengths to tease him.<br />
<br />
*[[Rio van Rosch]]: A quirky Miqo'te who Tayn befriended while searching for Lainseworth. Entry #2 in Tayn's list of "Who I Wouldn't Mind Getting To Know." Rio doesn't seem all that interested in Tayn, but that will not stop him from trying.<br />
<br />
*[[Souyo Xander]]: About the only thing Tayn knows about Souyo is that he A) was one of the members of Corvus Cinis who defected, and B) likes Lily. Being the one that orchestrated the entire affair, Tayn does not harbor any love for Souyo.<br />
<br />
*[[Salty Lake]]: Their meeting was a curious one, and taken by surprise at Salty's size, Tayn had called her a "huge bitch." They are on good terms, though Tayn has become careful not to make jokes around her whenever possible. Entry #1 in Tayn's list of "Who I Wouldn't Mind Getting To Know."<br />

*'''Height:''' Rhuya is very much on the shorter side, standing at about 4'11".<br />
<br />
*'''Weight:''' Rhuya is very slight and slim, almost to the point of being emancipated due to her unhealthy habits.<br />
<br />
*'''Body:''' Due to her incomplete Fantasia drought, Rhuya is devoid of feminine curves. Her body resembles a prepubescent boy more than that of a young woman. She also has little in the way of muscles, due to her scholarly lifestyle.<br />
<br />
*'''Hair:''' Although her original hair color was jet black, the effects of her incomplete potion have shifted her hair color to a strange blend of purple and pink. She wears her hair in a short, functional style.<br />
<br />
*'''Eyes:''' Rhuya's eyes are a forest green.<br />
<br />
*'''Skin:''' Rhuya's skin is pale, almost translucent. <br />
<br />
*'''Clothing: ''' Rhuya tends to cover herself almost completely with heavy robes. However, around close friends, she's more comfortable wearing lighter clothing. <br />

*'''Height:''' Slightly on the shorter side, roughly 5'2"<br />
<br />
*'''Weight:''' Roughly average.<br />
<br />
*'''Body:''' Rio is lithely muscled, due to the amount of physical activity that goes with her profession.<br />
<br />
*'''Hair:''' Dark red, with lighter red highlights. She usually wears it tied up in pigtails on the front of her head.<br />
<br />
*'''Eyes:''' Deep red, with a tinge of dark brown.<br />
<br />
*'''Skin:''' Somewhat tanned. She tends to tan easier than she burns.<br />
<br />
*'''Clothing: ''' Rio tends to wear lighter, more comfortable fabrics; oftentimes showing a lot of skin. This is due to her work environment normally being a stuffy, hot, airship engine room. She also usually has some sort of explosive or device stuffed into every nook and cranny of her outfit, and usually modifies them with extra straps or secret pockets to facilitate cramming even MORE volatile devices onto her person. (Such as storing sticks of dynamite in the heels of her boots.)<br />
:When working, however, she tends to favor heavy sets of plate armor. She usually modifies this armor with a number of devices such as hidden guns and compartments for holding devices.<br />

<br />
''"Some women just want to see the world burn."''<br />
<br />
:'''Alignment:'''Chaotic Neutral<br />
<br />
:'''Personality:'''More often than not, Rio tends to act as a complete, over the edge [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Cloudcuckoolander cloudcuckoolander]. Her head is normally in the clouds; or when she is in touch with reality, she's normally extremely off-kilter. With an appetite for massive explosions and lots and lots of fire, Rio is the very personification of the "Sapper" fantasy archetype. She seems almost distant from most negatively charged situations, and usually it takes quite a bit for her to process when she's supposed to be angry or sad.<br />
:Despite her near-genius intellect, Rio normally appears more than a little dimwitted, leaving people amazed when they find out that she actually does know her stuff. She's also fiercely loyal to anyone who earns her trust, to the point where individuals such as Alothia or Misaio can point at something and tell her to blow it up and it will be rubble in seconds, no questions asked. <br />
<br />
:'''Morals:''' Rio tends to act in ways that benefit Rio. Though this tends to extend to people that she values, she doesn't pay much mind to those that she doesn't. She tends to care little for the laws of the realm, and tends to commit crimes like robbery or murder without so much a thought for the consequences. After all, if it's good for Rio, it must be good for everyone, right?<br />

::Due to the heavily militaristic culture of the Empire, Rio has trained in an array of martial disciplines from a young age. However, she shows an aptitude for the axe especially; which she wields with deadly, and painfully obvious, force. She's also a fairly good shot; though her strengths in that field place her more in the heat of a firefight than sniping from a distance. <br />

::Also due to being a Garlean, Rio's natural aptitude for magic is somewhere between that of a rock and a ziz. While magic's not impossible for her, it's hard enough that she tends not to bother with it when she could really do anything with technology that magic would let her do. <br />

'''Ancestry''<br />
::Rio's family comes from a long line of Garlean Miqo'te going all the way back to when the former republic was barely formed. An offshoot clan of Seeker of the Sun Miqo'te was one of the first aggressors out of many to attack the fledgling nation. This clan, who's name has been lost to history, was soundly trounced by the formidable fighters of the republican guard; and their leaders were captured. So, in exchange for becoming one of the few allies of Garlemald, the Miqo'te would be allowed to live freely amongst them.<br />
::Over time, this Seeker of the Sun clan's tribal traditions were replaced by those of their Garlean allies, and they became a part of the republic. They cast off the name "Seekers of the Sun" and became Garlemald's own "Children of Steel"; sworn to serve the republic for the rest of their days, They took up traditionally Garlean names and traditions, and a few of them even rose into the nobility of the republic, and later the empire. The Rosch family was one of those families.<br />

'''During the Events of A Realm Reborn'''<br />
<br />
Rio suddenly reappeared roughly five years after the calamity at the Cold Moon Gala. Although she didn't end up as a Warrior of Light, she didn't speak of where she had departed to since the calamity happened. However, she did reunite with Alothia and the rest of Corvus Cinis, and rejoined the company the same day. <br />
When Lainseworth approached Corvus, offering a way to regain his voice, Rio participated in a raid into the Haukke Manor to fulfill the requirements to use the dark magic. Outside the manor, she was reunited with Misaio, her captain.<br />

<br />
[[Misaio Imella]]- The individual closest to Rio before she went missing, Rio and Misaio are very close friends. Misaio captains the airship that Rio works on and Rio would follow her into the seven hells if need be. Rio has resumed her work as Misaio's second-in-command, following her orders to the letter. She's also smitten with the woman, though she respects her too much to really act upon it.<br />
<br />
[[Alothia Starkwood]]- Rio's boss in Corvus Cinis prior to her departure with Misaio. Rio is immensely loyal to Alothia even now, and would probably still make good on her promise to "melt anyone that hurts her." She was reunited with her after the Calamity and rejoined Alothia's company.<br />
<br />
[[Lily Dawnsworn]]- The second-in-command of Corvus Cinis that Rio loves to tease. Although sometimes Lily can act cold to her, Rio presses on undaunted to make her as silly as the rest of the company. She likes to flirt with her, although she doesn't have much real interest in her romantically.<br />
<br />
[[Vash Ashford]]- An employee of Corvus Cinis Rio met after the calamity. Rio's not quite sure what to make of him yet, but gauges him to be pretty harmless, at least. She's come to believe that the one thing that he does excel at is being a minion or henchman.<br />
<br />
[[Lainseworth Ravencraft]]- One of Rio's close friends from before the Calamity; Rio is immensely fond of the little Lalafell. She tries to treat him with a measure of respect, given his position and talents as her coworker; but usually is reduced to high pitch squeals and headpats and hugs in his incredibly cute presence. Even having gained the ability to speak, Rio's condition when it comes to Lainse has hardly improved.<br />
<br />
[[Eric Verus]]- An employee of Corvus Cinis that Rio met briefly during a tense encounter with Deirdre. After she found out about his background, she developed a measure of respect for him; to the point where she forged a gunblade for him to use against Souyo, which he promptly broke and lost in the snows of Coerthas. She's somewhat sore about that still.<br />
<br />
[[Souyo Xander]]- A man who was corrupted by the power of a dark crystal and waged a private war against Corvus Cinis. Rio had always seen Souyo's death as a means to an end, but holds no personal vendetta against him.<br />
<br />
[[Deirdre Ta'ea]]- A former Eorzean Guard member that Rio once served with. Given her propensity for stabbing people and generally threatening nature, Rio tends to be scared stiff of her. She is, in Rio's words, "A terrifying, horrible, super mean, stab-you-in-the-gut, jerk!".<br />

<br />
*'''Height:''' Slightly on the shorter side, roughly 5'2"<br />
<br />
*'''Weight:''' Roughly average.<br />
<br />
*'''Body:''' Rio is lithely muscled, due to the amount of physical activity that goes with her profession.<br />
<br />
*'''Hair:''' Dark red, with lighter red highlights. She usually wears it tied up in pigtails on the front of her head.<br />
<br />
*'''Eyes:''' Deep red, with a tinge of dark brown.<br />
<br />
*'''Skin:''' Somewhat tanned. She tends to tan easier than she burns.<br />
<br />
*'''Clothing: ''' Rio tends to wear lighter, more comfortable fabrics; oftentimes showing a lot of skin. This is due to her work environment normally being a stuffy, hot, airship engine room. She also usually has some sort of explosive or device stuffed into every nook and cranny of her outfit, and usually modifies them with extra straps or secret pockets to facilitate cramming even MORE volatile devices onto her person. (Such as storing sticks of dynamite in the heels of her boots.)<br />
:When working, however, she tends to favor heavy sets of plate armor. She usually modifies this armor with a number of devices such as hidden guns and compartments for holding devices.<br />

<br />
''"Some women just want to see the world burn."''<br />
<br />
:'''Alignment:'''Chaotic Neutral<br />
<br />
:'''Personality:'''More often than not, Rio tends to act as a complete, over the edge [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Cloudcuckoolander cloudcuckoolander]. Her head is normally in the clouds; or when she is in touch with reality, she's normally extremely off-kilter. With an appetite for massive explosions and lots and lots of fire, Rio is the very personification of the "Sapper" fantasy archetype. She seems almost distant from most negatively charged situations, and usually it takes quite a bit for her to process when she's supposed to be angry or sad.<br />
:Despite her near-genius intellect, Rio normally appears more than a little dimwitted, leaving people amazed when they find out that she actually does know her stuff. She's also fiercely loyal to anyone who earns her trust, to the point where individuals such as Alothia or Misaio can point at something and tell her to blow it up and it will be rubble in seconds, no questions asked. <br />
<br />
:'''Morals:''' Rio tends to act in ways that benefit Rio. Though this tends to extend to people that she values, she doesn't pay much mind to those that she doesn't. She tends to care little for the laws of the realm, and tends to commit crimes like robbery or murder without so much a thought for the consequences. After all, if it's good for Rio, it must be good for everyone, right?<br />

::Due to the heavily militaristic culture of the Empire, Rio has trained in an array of martial disciplines from a young age. However, she shows an aptitude for the axe especially; which she wields with deadly, and painfully obvious, force. She's also a fairly good shot; though her strengths in that field place her more in the heat of a firefight than sniping from a distance. <br />

::Also due to being a Garlean, Rio's natural aptitude for magic is somewhere between that of a rock and a ziz. While magic's not impossible for her, it's hard enough that she tends not to bother with it when she could really do anything with technology that magic would let her do. <br />

'''Ancestry''<br />
::Rio's family comes from a long line of Garlean Miqo'te going all the way back to when the former republic was barely formed. An offshoot clan of Seeker of the Sun Miqo'te was one of the first aggressors out of many to attack the fledgling nation. This clan, who's name has been lost to history, was soundly trounced by the formidable fighters of the republican guard; and their leaders were captured. So, in exchange for becoming one of the few allies of Garlemald, the Miqo'te would be allowed to live freely amongst them.<br />
::Over time, this Seeker of the Sun clan's tribal traditions were replaced by those of their Garlean allies, and they became a part of the republic. They cast off the name "Seekers of the Sun" and became Garlemald's own "Children of Steel"; sworn to serve the republic for the rest of their days, They took up traditionally Garlean names and traditions, and a few of them even rose into the nobility of the republic, and later the empire. The van Rosch family was one of those families.<br />

'''During the Events of A Realm Reborn'''<br />
Rio suddenly reappeared roughly five years after the calamity at the Cold Moon Gala. Although she didn't end up as a Warrior of Light, she didn't speak of where she had departed to since the calamity happened. However, she did reunite with Alothia and the rest of Corvus Cinis, and rejoined the company the same day. <br />
When Lainseworth approached Corvus, offering a way to regain his voice, Rio participated in a raid into the Haukke Manor to fulfill the requirements to use the dark magic. Outside the manor, she was reunited with Misaio, her captain.<br />

<br />
[[Misaio Imella]]- The individual closest to Rio before she went missing, Rio and Misaio are very close friends. Misaio captains the airship that Rio works on and Rio would follow her into the seven hells if need be.<br />
<br />
[[Alothia Starkwood]]- Rio's boss in Corvus Cinis prior to her departure with Misaio. Rio is immensely loyal to Alothia even now, and would probably still make good on her promise to "melt anyone that hurts her." She was reunited with her after the Calamity and rejoined Alothia's company.<br />
<br />
[[Lily Dawnsworn]]- The second-in-command of Corvus Cinis that Rio loves to tease. Although sometimes Lily can act cold to her, Rio presses on undaunted to make her as silly as the rest of the company. She likes to flirt with her, although she doesn't have much real interest in her romantically.<br />
<br />
[[Vash Ashford]]- An employee of Corvus Cinis Rio met after the calamity. Rio's not quite sure what to make of him yet, but gauges him to be pretty harmless, at least. She almost sacrificed him as an option to give Lainseworth a voice. Contrary to what she said at the time, she was probably serious about doing it too.<br />
<br />
[[Lainseworth Ravencraft]]- One of Rio's close friends from before the Calamity; Rio is immensely fond of the little Lalafell. She tries to treat him with a measure of respect, given his position and talents as her coworker; but usually is reduced to high pitch squeals and headpats and hugs in his incredibly cute presence. Even having gained the ability to speak, Rio's condition when it comes to Lainse has hardly improved.<br />
<br />
[[Eric Verus]]- An employee of Corvus Cinis that Rio met briefly during a tense encounter with Deirdre. She believes him to be incredibly reckless and foolhardy thanks to this incident; and has resolved to watch any encounters she can between him and Alothia for her safety. Recent events have piqued her interest in the man, and she wishes to learn more about him.<br />
<br />
[[Souyo Xander]]- A man who, due to the power of a dark crystal, is now a danger to himself and others. Until this condition is cleared from him, she will engage him with deadly force on sight.<br />
<br />
[[Deirdre Ta'ea]]- A former Eorzean Guard member that Rio once served with. Given her propensity for stabbing people and generally threatening nature, Rio tends to be scared stiff of her. She is, in Rio's words, "A terrifying, horrible, super mean, stab-you-in-the-gut, jerk!".<br />

<br />
*'''Height:''' Slightly on the shorter side, roughly 5'2"<br />
<br />
*'''Weight:''' Roughly average.<br />
<br />
*'''Body:''' Rio is lithely muscled, due to the amount of physical activity that goes with her profession.<br />
<br />
*'''Hair:''' Dark red, with lighter red highlights. She usually wears it tied up in pigtails on the front of her head.<br />
<br />
*'''Eyes:''' Deep red, with a tinge of dark brown.<br />
<br />
*'''Skin:''' Somewhat tanned. She tends to tan easier than she burns.<br />
<br />
*'''Clothing: ''' Rio tends to wear lighter, more comfortable fabrics; oftentimes showing a lot of skin. This is due to her work environment normally being a stuffy, hot, airship engine room. She also usually has some sort of explosive or device stuffed into every nook and cranny of her outfit, and usually modifies them with extra straps or secret pockets to facilitate cramming even MORE volatile devices onto her person. (Such as storing sticks of dynamite in the heels of her boots.)<br />

<br />
''"Some women just want to see the world burn."''<br />
<br />
:'''Alignment:'''Chaotic Neutral<br />
<br />
:'''Personality:'''More often than not, Rio tends to act as a complete, over the edge [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Cloudcuckoolander cloudcuckoolander]. Her head is normally in the clouds; or when she is in touch with reality, she's normally extremely off-kilter. With an appetite for massive explosions and lots and lots of fire, Rio is the very personification of the "Sapper" fantasy archetype. She seems almost distant from most negatively charged situations, and usually it takes quite a bit for her to process when she's supposed to be angry or sad.<br />
:Despite her near-genius intellect, Rio normally appears more than a little dimwitted, leaving people amazed when they find out that she actually does know her stuff. She's also fiercely loyal to anyone who earns her trust, to the point where individuals such as Alothia or Misaio can point at something and tell her to blow it up and it will be rubble in seconds, no questions asked. <br />
<br />
:'''Morals:''' Rio tends to act in ways that benefit Rio. Though this tends to extend to people that she values, she doesn't pay much mind to those that she doesn't. She tends to care little for the laws of the realm, and tends to commit crimes like robbery or murder without so much a thought for the consequences. After all, if it's good for Rio, it must be good for everyone, right?<br />

::Due to the heavily militaristic culture of the Empire, Rio has trained in an array of martial disciplines from a young age. However, she shows an aptitude for the axe especially; which she wields with deadly, and painfully obvious, force. She's also a fairly good shot; though her strengths in that field place her more in the heat of a firefight than sniping from a distance. <br />

::Also due to being a Garlean, Rio's natural aptitude for magic is somewhere between that of a rock and a ziz. While magic's not impossible for her, it's hard enough that she tends not to bother with it when she could really do anything with technology that magic would let her do. <br />

'''Ancestry''<br />
::Rio's family comes from a long line of Garlean Miqo'te going all the way back to when the former republic was barely formed. An offshoot clan of Seeker of the Sun Miqo'te was one of the first aggressors out of many to attack the fledgling nation. This clan, who's name has been lost to history, was soundly trounced by the formidable fighters of the republican guard; and their leaders were captured. So, in exchange for becoming one of the few allies of Garlemald, the Miqo'te would be allowed to live freely amongst them.<br />
::Over time, this Seeker of the Sun clan's tribal traditions were replaced by those of their Garlean allies, and they became a part of the republic. They cast off the name "Seekers of the Sun" and became Garlemald's own "Children of Steel"; sworn to serve the republic for the rest of their days, They took up traditionally Garlean names and traditions, and a few of them even rose into the nobility of the republic, and later the empire. The van Rosch family was one of those families.<br />

'''During the Events of A Realm Reborn'''<br />
Rio suddenly reappeared roughly five years after the calamity at the Cold Moon Gala. Although she didn't end up as a Warrior of Light, she didn't speak of where she had departed to since the calamity happened. However, she did reunite with Alothia and the rest of Corvus Cinis, and rejoined the company the same day. <br />
When Lainseworth approached Corvus, offering a way to regain his voice, Rio participated in a raid into the Haukke Manor to fulfill the requirements to use the dark magic. Outside the manor, she was reunited with Misaio, her captain.<br />

<br />
[[Misaio Imella]]- The individual closest to Rio before she went missing, Rio and Misaio are very close friends. Misaio captains the airship that Rio works on and Rio would follow her into the seven hells if need be.<br />
<br />
[[Alothia Starkwood]]- Rio's boss in Corvus Cinis prior to her departure with Misaio. Rio is immensely loyal to Alothia even now, and would probably still make good on her promise to "melt anyone that hurts her." She was reunited with her after the Calamity and rejoined Alothia's company.<br />
<br />
[[Lily Dawnsworn]]- The second-in-command of Corvus Cinis that Rio loves to tease. Although sometimes Lily can act cold to her, Rio presses on undaunted to make her as silly as the rest of the company. She likes to flirt with her, although she doesn't have much real interest in her romantically.<br />
<br />
[[Vash Ashford]]- An employee of Corvus Cinis Rio met after the calamity. Rio's not quite sure what to make of him yet, but gauges him to be pretty harmless, at least. She almost sacrificed him as an option to give Lainseworth a voice. Contrary to what she said at the time, she was probably serious about doing it too.<br />
<br />
[[Lainseworth Ravencraft]]- One of Rio's close friends from before the Calamity; Rio is immensely fond of the little Lalafell. She tries to treat him with a measure of respect, given his position and talents as her coworker; but usually is reduced to high pitch squeals and headpats and hugs in his incredibly cute presence. Even having gained the ability to speak, Rio's condition when it comes to Lainse has hardly improved.<br />
<br />
[[Eric Verus]]- An employee of Corvus Cinis that Rio met briefly during a tense encounter with Deirdre. She believes him to be incredibly reckless and foolhardy thanks to this incident; and has resolved to watch any encounters she can between him and Alothia for her safety. <br />
<br />
[[Souyo Xander]]- Half dead guy noted. Moving on.<br />
<br />
[[Deirdre Ta'ea]]- A former Eorzean Guard member that Rio once served with. Given her propensity for stabbing people and generally threatening nature, Rio tends to be scared stiff of her. She is, in Rio's words, "A terrifying, horrible, super mean, stab-you-in-the-gut, jerk!".<br />

*'''Height:''' Slightly on the shorter side, roughly 5'2"<br />
<br />
*'''Weight:''' Roughly average.<br />
<br />
*'''Body:''' Rio is lithely muscled, due to the amount of physical activity that goes with her profession.<br />
<br />
*'''Hair:''' Dark red, with lighter red highlights. She usually wears it tied up in pigtails on the front of her head.<br />
<br />
*'''Eyes:''' Deep red, with a tinge of dark brown.<br />
<br />
*'''Skin:''' Somewhat tanned. She tends to tan easier than she burns.<br />
<br />
*'''Clothing: ''' Rio tends to wear lighter, more comfortable fabrics; oftentimes showing a lot of skin. This is due to her work environment normally being a stuffy, hot, airship engine room. She also usually has some sort of explosive or device stuffed into every nook and cranny of her outfit, and usually modifies them with extra straps or secret pockets to facilitate cramming even MORE volatile devices onto her person. (Such as storing sticks of dynamite in the heels of her boots.)<br />

<br />
''"Some women just want to see the world burn."''<br />
<br />
:'''Alignment:'''Chaotic Neutral<br />
<br />
:'''Personality:'''More often than not, Rio tends to act as a complete, over the edge [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Cloudcuckoolander cloudcuckoolander]. Her head is normally in the clouds; or when she is in touch with reality, she's normally extremely off-kilter. With an appetite for massive explosions and lots and lots of fire, Rio is the very personification of the "Sapper" fantasy archetype. She seems almost distant from most negatively charged situations, and usually it takes quite a bit for her to process when she's supposed to be angry or sad.<br />
:Despite her near-genius intellect, Rio normally appears more than a little dimwitted, leaving people amazed when they find out that she actually does know her stuff. She's also fiercely loyal to anyone who earns her trust, to the point where individuals such as Alothia or Misaio can point at something and tell her to blow it up and it will be rubble in seconds, no questions asked. <br />
<br />
:'''Morals:''' Rio tends to act in ways that benefit Rio. Though this tends to extend to people that she values, she doesn't pay much mind to those that she doesn't. She tends to care little for the laws of the realm, and tends to commit crimes like robbery or murder without so much a thought for the consequences. After all, if it's good for Rio, it must be good for everyone, right?<br />

::Due to the heavily militaristic culture of the Empire, Rio has trained in an array of martial disciplines from a young age. However, she shows an aptitude for the axe especially; which she wields with deadly, and painfully obvious, force. She's also a fairly good shot; though her strengths in that field place her more in the heat of a firefight than sniping from a distance. <br />

::Also due to being a Garlean, Rio's natural aptitude for magic is somewhere between that of a rock and a ziz. While magic's not impossible for her, it's hard enough that she tends not to bother with it when she could really do anything with technology that magic would let her do. <br />

'''Ancestry''<br />
::Rio's family comes from a long line of Garlean Miqo'te going all the way back to when the former republic was barely formed. An offshoot clan of Seeker of the Sun Miqo'te was one of the first aggressors out of many to attack the fledgling nation. This clan, who's name has been lost to history, was soundly trounced by the formidable fighters of the republican guard; and their leaders were captured. So, in exchange for becoming one of the few allies of Garlemald, the Miqo'te would be allowed to live freely amongst them.<br />
::Over time, this Seeker of the Sun clan's tribal traditions were replaced by those of their Garlean allies, and they became a part of the republic. They cast off the name "Seekers of the Sun" and became Garlemald's own "Children of Steel"; sworn to serve the republic for the rest of their days, They took up traditionally Garlean names and traditions, and a few of them even rose into the nobility of the republic, and later the empire. The van Rosch family was one of those families.<br />

'''During the Events of A Realm Reborn'''<br />
Rio suddenly reappeared roughly five years after the calamity at the Cold Moon Gala. Although she didn't end up as a Warrior of Light, she didn't speak of where she had departed to since the calamity happened. However, she did reunite with Alothia and the rest of Corvus Cinis, and rejoined the company the same day. <br />
When Lainseworth approached Corvus, offering a way to regain his voice, Rio participated in a raid into the Haukke Manor to fulfill the requirements to use the dark magic. Outside the manor, she was reunited with Misaio, her captain.<br />

<br />
[[Misaio Imella]]- The individual closest to Rio before she went missing, Rio and Misaio are very close friends. Misaio captains the airship that Rio works on and Rio would follow her into the seven hells if need be.<br />
<br />
[[Alothia Starkwood]]- Rio's boss in Corvus Cinis prior to her departure with Misaio. Rio is immensely loyal to Alothia even now, and would probably still make good on her promise to "melt anyone that hurts her." She was reunited with her after the Calamity and rejoined Alothia's company.<br />
<br />
[[Lily Dawnsworn]]- The second-in-command of Corvus Cinis that Rio loves to tease. Although sometimes Lily can act cold to her, Rio presses on undaunted to make her as silly as the rest of the company. She likes to flirt with her, although she doesn't have much real interest in her romantically.<br />
<br />
[[Vash Ashford]]- An employee of Corvus Cinis Rio met after the calamity. Rio's not quite sure what to make of him yet, but gauges him to be pretty harmless, at least. She almost sacrificed him as an option to give Lainseworth a voice. Contrary to what she said at the time, she was probably serious about doing it too.<br />
<br />
[[Lainseworth Ravencraft]]- One of Rio's close friends from before the Calamity; Rio is immensely fond of the little Lalafell. She tries to treat him with a measure of respect, given his position and talents as her coworker; but usually is reduced to high pitch squeals and headpats and hugs in his incredibly cute presence. Even having gained the ability to speak, Rio's condition when it comes to Lainse has hardly improved.<br />
<br />
[[Eric Verus]]- An employee of Corvus Cinis that Rio met briefly during a tense encounter with Deirdre. She believes him to be incredibly reckless and foolhardy thanks to this incident; and has resolved to watch any encounters she can between him and Alothia for her safety. <br />
<br />
[[Souyo Xander]]- Half dead guy noted. Moving on.<br />
<br />
[[Deirdre Ta'ea]]- A former Eorzean Guard member that Rio once served with. Given her propensity for stabbing people and generally threatening nature, Rio tends to be scared stiff of her. She is, in Rio's words, "A terrifying, horrible, super mean, stab-you-in-the-gut, jerk!".<br />

*'''Height:''' Slightly on the shorter side, roughly 5'2"<br />
<br />
*'''Weight:''' Roughly average.<br />
<br />
*'''Body:''' Rio is lithely muscled, due to the amount of physical activity that goes with her profession.<br />

<br />
*'''Eyes:''' Deep red, with a tinge of dark brown.<br />
<br />
*'''Skin:''' Somewhat tanned. She tends to tan easier than she burns.<br />
<br />
*'''Clothing: ''' Rio tends to wear lighter, more comfortable fabrics; oftentimes showing a lot of skin. This is due to her work environment normally being a stuffy, hot, airship engine room. She also usually has some sort of explosive or device stuffed into every nook and cranny of her outfit, and usually modifies them with extra straps or secret pockets to facilitate cramming even MORE volatile devices onto her person. (Such as storing sticks of dynamite in the heels of her boots.)<br />

<br />
''"Some women just want to see the world burn."''<br />
<br />
:'''Alignment:'''Chaotic Neutral<br />
<br />
:'''Personality:'''More often than not, Rio tends to act as a complete, over the edge [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Cloudcuckoolander cloudcuckoolander]. Her head is normally in the clouds; or when she is in touch with reality, she's normally extremely off-kilter. With an appetite for massive explosions and lots and lots of fire, Rio is the very personification of the "Sapper" fantasy archetype. She seems almost distant from most negatively charged situations, and usually it takes quite a bit for her to process when she's supposed to be angry or sad.<br />
:Despite her near-genius intellect, Rio normally appears more than a little dimwitted, leaving people amazed when they find out that she actually does know her stuff. She's also fiercely loyal to anyone who earns her trust, to the point where individuals such as Alothia or Misaio can point at something and tell her to blow it up and it will be rubble in seconds, no questions asked. <br />
<br />
:'''Morals:''' Rio tends to act in ways that benefit Rio. Though this tends to extend to people that she values, she doesn't pay much mind to those that she doesn't. She tends to care little for the laws of the realm, and tends to commit crimes like robbery or murder without so much a thought for the consequences. After all, if it's good for Rio, it must be good for everyone, right?<br />

She's also a fairly good shot; though her strengths in that field place her more in the heat of a firefight than sniping from a distance. <br />

'''Ancestry''<br />
::Rio's family comes from a long line of Garlean Miqo'te going all the way back to when the former republic was barely formed. An offshoot clan of Seeker of the Sun Miqo'te was one of the first aggressors out of many to attack the fledgling nation. This clan, who's name has been lost to history, was soundly trounced by the formidable fighters of the republican guard; and their leaders were captured. So, in exchange for becoming one of the few allies of Garlemald, the Miqo'te would be allowed to live freely amongst them.<br />
::Over time, this Seeker of the Sun clan's tribal traditions were replaced by those of their Garlean allies, and they became a part of the republic. They cast off the name "Seekers of the Sun" and became Garlemald's own "Children of Steel"; sworn to serve the republic for the rest of their days, They took up traditionally Garlean names and traditions, and a few of them even rose into the nobility of the republic, and later the empire. The van Rosch family was one of those families.<br />

'''During the Events of A Realm Reborn'''<br />
Rio suddenly reappeared roughly five years after the calamity at the Cold Moon Gala. Although she didn't end up as a Warrior of Light, she didn't speak of where she had departed to since the calamity happened. However, she did reunite with Alothia and the rest of Corvus Cinis, and rejoined the company the same day. <br />
When Lainseworth approached Corvus, offering a way to regain his voice, Rio participated in a raid into the Haukke Manor to fulfill the requirements to use the dark magic. Outside the manor, she was reunited with Misaio, her captain.<br />

<br />
[[Misaio Imella]]- The individual closest to Rio before she went missing, Rio and Misaio are very close friends. Misaio captains the airship that Rio works on and Rio would follow her into the seven hells if need be.<br />
<br />
[[Alothia Starkwood]]- Rio's boss in Corvus Cinis prior to her departure with Misaio. Rio is immensely loyal to Alothia even now, and would probably still make good on her promise to "melt anyone that hurts her." She was reunited with her after the Calamity and rejoined Alothia's company.<br />
<br />
[[Lily Dawnsworn]]- The second-in-command of Corvus Cinis that Rio loves to tease. Although sometimes Lily can act cold to her, Rio presses on undaunted to make her as silly as the rest of the company. She likes to flirt with her, although she doesn't have much real interest in her romantically.<br />
<br />
[[Vash Ashford]]- An employee of Corvus Cinis Rio met after the calamity. Rio's not quite sure what to make of him yet, but gauges him to be pretty harmless, at least. She almost sacrificed him as an option to give Lainseworth a voice. Contrary to what she said at the time, she was probably serious about doing it too.<br />
<br />
[[Lainseworth Ravencraft]]- One of Rio's close friends from before the Calamity; Rio is immensely fond of the little Lalafell. She tries to treat him with a measure of respect, given his position and talents as her coworker; but usually is reduced to high pitch squeals and headpats and hugs in his incredibly cute presence. Even having gained the ability to speak, Rio's condition when it comes to Lainse has hardly improved.<br />
<br />
[[Eric Verus]]- An employee of Corvus Cinis that Rio met briefly during a tense encounter with Deirdre. She believes him to be incredibly reckless and foolhardy thanks to this incident; and has resolved to watch any encounters she can between him and Alothia for her safety. <br />
<br />
[[Souyo Xander]]- Half dead guy noted. Moving on.<br />
<br />
[[Deirdre Ta'ea]]- A former Eorzean Guard member that Rio once served with. Given her propensity for stabbing people and generally threatening nature, Rio tends to be scared stiff of her. She is, in Rio's words, "A terrifying, horrible, super mean, stab-you-in-the-gut, jerk!".<br />

*'''Weight:''' Roughly average.<br />
<br />
*'''Body:''' Rio is lithely muscled, due to the amount of physical activity that goes with her profession.<br />

<br />
*'''Eyes:''' Deep red, with a tinge of dark brown.<br />
<br />
*'''Skin:''' Somewhat tanned. She tends to tan easier than she burns.<br />
<br />
*'''Clothing: ''' Rio tends to wear lighter, more comfortable fabrics; oftentimes showing a lot of skin. This is due to her work environment normally being a stuffy, hot, airship engine room. She also usually has some sort of explosive or device stuffed into every nook and cranny of her outfit, and usually modifies them with extra straps or secret pockets to facilitate cramming even MORE volatile devices onto her person.

<br />
:'''Alignment:'''Chaotic Neutral<br />
<br />
:'''Personality:'''More often than not, Rio tends to act as a complete, over the edge [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Cloudcuckoolander cloudcuckoolander]. Her head is normally in the clouds; or when she is in touch with reality, she's normally extremely off-kilter. With an appetite for massive explosions and lots and lots of fire, Rio is the very personification of the "Sapper" fantasy archetype. She seems almost distant from most negatively charged situations, and usually it takes quite a bit for her to process when she's supposed to be angry or sad.<br />
:Despite her near-genius intellect, Rio normally appears more than a little dimwitted, leaving people amazed when they find out that she actually does know her stuff. She's also fiercely loyal to anyone who earns her trust, to the point where individuals such as Alothia or Misaio can point at something and tell her to blow it up and it will be rubble in seconds, no questions asked. <br />
<br />
:'''Morals:''' Rio tends to act in ways that benefit Rio. Though this tends to extend to people that she values, she doesn't pay much mind to those that she doesn't. She tends to care little for the laws of the realm, and tends to commit crimes like robbery or murder without so much a thought for the consequences. After all, if it's good for Rio, it must be good for everyone, right?<br />

She's also a fairly good shot; though her strengths in that field place her more in the heat of a firefight than sniping from a distance. <br />

'''Ancestry''<br />
::Rio's family comes from a long line of Garlean Miqo'te going all the way back to when the former republic was barely formed. An offshoot clan of Seeker of the Sun Miqo'te was one of the first aggressors out of many to attack the fledgling nation. This clan, who's name has been lost to history, was soundly trounced by the formidable fighters of the republican guard; and their leaders were captured. So, in exchange for becoming one of the few allies of Garlemald, the Miqo'te would be allowed to live freely amongst them.<br />
::Over time, this Seeker of the Sun clan's tribal traditions were replaced by those of their Garlean allies, and they became a part of the republic. They cast off the name "Seekers of the Sun" and became Garlemald's own "Children of Steel"; sworn to serve the republic for the rest of their days, They took up traditionally Garlean names and traditions, and a few of them even rose into the nobility of the republic, and later the empire. The van Rosch family was one of those families.<br />

'''During the Events of A Realm Reborn'''<br />
Rio suddenly reappeared roughly five years after the calamity at the Cold Moon Gala. Although she didn't end up as a Warrior of Light, she didn't speak of where she had departed to since the calamity happened. However, she did reunite with Alothia and the rest of Corvus Cinis, and rejoined the company the same day. <br />
When Lainseworth approached Corvus, offering a way to regain his voice, Rio participated in a raid into the Haukke Manor to fulfill the requirements to use the dark magic. Outside the manor, she was reunited with Misaio, her captain.<br />

<br />
[[Misaio Imella]]- The individual closest to Rio before she went missing, Rio and Misaio are very close friends. Misaio captains the airship that Rio works on and Rio would follow her into the seven hells if need be.<br />
<br />
[[Alothia Starkwood]]- Rio's boss in Corvus Cinis prior to her departure with Misaio. Rio is immensely loyal to Alothia even now, and would probably still make good on her promise to "melt anyone that hurts her." She was reunited with her after the Calamity and rejoined Alothia's company.<br />
<br />
[[Lily Dawnsworn]]- The second-in-command of Corvus Cinis that Rio loves to tease. Although sometimes Lily can act cold to her, Rio presses on undaunted to make her as silly as the rest of the company. She likes to flirt with her, although she doesn't have much real interest in her romantically.<br />
<br />
[[Vash Ashford]]- An employee of Corvus Cinis Rio met after the calamity. Rio's not quite sure what to make of him yet, but gauges him to be pretty harmless, at least. She almost sacrificed him as an option to give Lainseworth a voice. Contrary to what she said at the time, she was probably serious about doing it too.<br />
<br />
[[Lainseworth Ravencraft]]- One of Rio's close friends from before the Calamity; Rio is immensely fond of the little Lalafell. She tries to treat him with a measure of respect, given his position and talents as her coworker; but usually is reduced to high pitch squeals and headpats and hugs in his incredibly cute presence. Even having gained the ability to speak, Rio's condition when it comes to Lainse has hardly improved.<br />
<br />
[[Eric Verus]]- An employee of Corvus Cinis that Rio met briefly during a tense encounter with Deirdre. She believes him to be incredibly reckless and foolhardy thanks to this incident; and has resolved to watch any encounters she can between him and Alothia for her safety. <br />
<br />
[[Souyo Xander]]- Half dead guy noted. Moving on.<br />
<br />
[[Deirdre Ta'ea]]- A former Eorzean Guard member that Rio once served with. Given her propensity for stabbing people and generally threatening nature, Rio tends to be scared stiff of her. She is, in Rio's words, "A terrifying, horrible, super mean, stab-you-in-the-gut, jerk!".<br />

*'''Height:''' Slightly on the shorter side, roughly 5'2"<br />
<br />
*'''Weight:''' Roughly average.<br />
<br />
*'''Body:''' Rio is lithely muscled, due to the amount of physical activity that goes with her profession.<br />
<br />
*'''Hair:''' Dark red, with lighter red highlights. She usually wears it tied up in pigtails on the front of her head.<br />
<br />
*'''Eyes:''' Deep red, with a tinge of dark brown.<br />
<br />
*'''Skin:''' Somewhat tanned. She tends to tan easier than she burns.<br />
<br />
*'''Clothing: ''' Rio tends to wear lighter, more comfortable fabrics; oftentimes showing a lot of skin. This is due to her work environment normally being a stuffy, hot, airship engine room. She also usually has some sort of explosive or device stuffed into every nook and cranny of her outfit, and usually modifies them with extra straps or secret pockets to facilitate cramming even MORE volatile devices onto her person. (Such as storing sticks of dynamite in the heels of her boots.)<br />

<br />
:'''Alignment:'''Chaotic Neutral<br />
<br />
:'''Personality:'''More often than not, Rio tends to act as a complete, over the edge [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Cloudcuckoolander cloudcuckoolander]. Her head is normally in the clouds; or when she is in touch with reality, she's normally extremely off-kilter. With an appetite for massive explosions and lots and lots of fire, Rio is the very personification of the "Sapper" fantasy archetype. She seems almost distant from most negatively charged situations, and usually it takes quite a bit for her to process when she's supposed to be angry or sad.<br />
Despite her near-genius intellect, Rio normally appears more than a little dimwitted, leaving people amazed when they find out that she actually does know her stuff. She's also fiercely loyal to anyone who earns her trust, to the point where individuals such as Alothia or Misaio can point at something and tell her to blow it up and it will be rubble in seconds, no questions asked. <br />
<br />
:'''Morals:''' Rio tends to act in ways that benefit Rio. Though this tends to extend to people that she values, she doesn't pay much mind to those that she doesn't. She tends to care little for the laws of the realm, and tends to commit crimes like robbery or murder without so much a thought for the consequences. After all, if it's good for Rio, it must be good for everyone, right?<br />

::Due to the heavily militaristic culture of the Empire, Rio has trained in an array of martial disciplines from a young age. However, she shows an aptitude for the axe especially; which she wields with deadly, and painfully obvious, force. She's also a fairly good shot; though her strengths in that field place her more in the heat of a firefight than sniping from a distance. <br />

::Also due to being a Garlean, Rio's natural aptitude for magic is somewhere between that of a rock and a ziz. While magic's not impossible for her, it's hard enough that she tends not to bother with it when she could really do anything with technology that magic would let her do. <br />

'''Ancestry''<br />
::Rio's family comes from a long line of Garlean Miqo'te going all the way back to when the former republic was barely formed. An offshoot clan of Seeker of the Sun Miqo'te was one of the first aggressors out of many to attack the fledgling nation. This clan, who's name has been lost to history, was soundly trounced by the formidable fighters of the republican guard; and their leaders were captured. So, in exchange for becoming one of the few allies of Garlemald, the Miqo'te would be allowed to live freely amongst them.<br />
::Over time, this Seeker of the Sun clan's tribal traditions were replaced by those of their Garlean allies, and they became a part of the republic. They cast off the name "Seekers of the Sun" and became Garlemald's own "Children of Steel"; sworn to serve the republic for the rest of their days, They took up traditionally Garlean names and traditions, and a few of them even rose into the nobility of the republic, and later the empire. The van Rosch family was one of those families.<br />

<br />
'''During the Events of A Realm Reborn'''<br />
Rio suddenly reappeared roughly five years after the calamity at the Cold Moon Gala. Although she didn't end up as a Warrior of Light, she didn't speak of where she had departed to since the calamity happened. However, she did reunite with Alothia and the rest of Corvus Cinis, and rejoined the company the same day. <br />
When Lainseworth approached Corvus, offering a way to regain his voice, Rio participated in a raid into the Haukke Manor to fulfill the requirements to use the dark magic. Outside the manor, she was reunited with Misaio, her captain.<br />

<br />
[[Misaio Imella]]- The individual closest to Rio before she went missing, Rio and Misaio are very close friends. Misaio captains the airship that Rio works on and Rio would follow her into the seven hells if need be.<br />
<br />
[[Alothia Starkwood]]- Rio's boss in Corvus Cinis prior to her departure with Misaio. Rio is immensely loyal to Alothia even now, and would probably still make good on her promise to "melt anyone that hurts her." She was reunited with her after the Calamity and rejoined Alothia's company.<br />
<br />
[[Lily Dawnsworn]]- The second-in-command of Corvus Cinis that Rio loves to tease. Although sometimes Lily can act cold to her, Rio presses on undaunted to make her as silly as the rest of the company. She likes to flirt with her, although she doesn't have much real interest in her romantically.<br />
<br />
[[Vash Ashford]]- An employee of Corvus Cinis Rio met after the calamity. Rio's not quite sure what to make of him yet, but gauges him to be pretty harmless, at least. She almost sacrificed him as an option to give Lainseworth a voice. Contrary to what she said at the time, she was probably serious about doing it too.<br />
<br />
[[Lainseworth Ravencraft]]- One of Rio's close friends from before the Calamity; Rio is immensely fond of the little Lalafell. She tries to treat him with a measure of respect, given his position and talents as her coworker; but usually is reduced to high pitch squeals and headpats and hugs in his incredibly cute presence. Even having gained the ability to speak, Rio's condition when it comes to Lainse has hardly improved.<br />
<br />
[[Eric Verus]]- An employee of Corvus Cinis that Rio met briefly during a tense encounter with Deirdre. She believes him to be incredibly reckless and foolhardy thanks to this incident; and has resolved to watch any encounters she can between him and Alothia for her safety. <br />
<br />
[[Souyo Xander]]- Half dead guy noted. Moving on.<br />
<br />
[[Deirdre Ta'ea]]- A former Eorzean Guard member that Rio once served with. Given her propensity for stabbing people and generally threatening nature, Rio tends to be scared stiff of her. She is, in Rio's words, "A terrifying, horrible, super mean, stab-you-in-the-gut, jerk!".<br />

::Due to the heavily militaristic culture of the Empire, Rio has trained in an array of martial disciplines from a young age. However, she shows an aptitude for the axe especially; which she wields with deadly, and painfully obvious, force. She's also a fairly good shot; though her strengths in that field place her more in the heat of a firefight than sniping from a distance. <br />

::Also due to being a Garlean, Rio's natural aptitude for magic is somewhere between that of a rock and a ziz. While magic's not impossible for her, it's hard enough that she tends not to bother with it when she could really do anything with technology that magic would let her do. <br />

'''Ancestry''<br />
::Rio's family comes from a long line of Garlean Miqo'te going all the way back to when the former republic was barely formed. An offshoot clan of Seeker of the Sun Miqo'te was one of the first aggressors out of many to attack the fledgling nation. This clan, who's name has been lost to history, was soundly trounced by the formidable fighters of the republican guard; and their leaders were captured. So, in exchange for becoming one of the few allies of Garlemald, the Miqo'te would be allowed to live freely amongst them.<br />
::Over time, this Seeker of the Sun clan's tribal traditions were replaced by those of their Garlean allies, and they became a part of the republic. They cast off the name "Seekers of the Sun" and became Garlemald's own "Children of Steel"; sworn to serve the republic for the rest of their days, They took up traditionally Garlean names and traditions, and a few of them even rose into the nobility of the republic, and later the empire. The van Rosch family was one of those families.<br />

'''During the Events of A Realm Reborn'''<br />
Rio suddenly reappeared roughly five years after the calamity at the Cold Moon Gala. Although she didn't end up as a Warrior of Light, she didn't speak of where she had departed to since the calamity happened. However, she did reunite with Alothia and the rest of Corvus Cinis, and rejoined the company the same day. <br />
When Lainseworth approached Corvus, offering a way to regain his voice, Rio participated in a raid into the Haukke Manor to fulfill the requirements to use the dark magic. Outside the manor, she was reunited with Misaio, her captain.<br />

<br />
[[Misaio Imella]]- The individual closest to Rio before she went missing, Rio and Misaio are very close friends. Misaio captains the airship that Rio works on and Rio would follow her into the seven hells if need be.<br />
<br />
[[Alothia Starkwood]]- Rio's boss in Corvus Cinis prior to her departure with Misaio. Rio is immensely loyal to Alothia even now, and would probably still make good on her promise to "melt anyone that hurts her." She was reunited with her after the Calamity and rejoined Alothia's company.<br />
<br />
[[Lily Dawnsworn]]- The second-in-command of Corvus Cinis that Rio loves to tease. Although sometimes Lily can act cold to her, Rio presses on undaunted to make her as silly as the rest of the company. She likes to flirt with her, although she doesn't have much real interest in her romantically.<br />
<br />
[[Vash Ashford]]- An employee of Corvus Cinis Rio met after the calamity. Rio's not quite sure what to make of him yet, but gauges him to be pretty harmless, at least. She almost sacrificed him as an option to give Lainseworth a voice. Contrary to what she said at the time, she was probably serious about doing it too.<br />
<br />
[[Lainseworth Ravencraft]]- One of Rio's close friends from before the Calamity; Rio is immensely fond of the little Lalafell. She tries to treat him with a measure of respect, given his position and talents as her coworker; but usually is reduced to high pitch squeals and headpats and hugs in his incredibly cute presence. Even having gained the ability to speak, Rio's condition when it comes to Lainse has hardly improved.<br />
<br />
[[Eric Verus]]- An employee of Corvus Cinis that Rio met briefly during a tense encounter with Deirdre. She believes him to be incredibly reckless and foolhardy thanks to this incident; and has resolved to watch any encounters she can between him and Alothia for her safety. <br />
<br />
[[Souyo Xander]]- Half dead guy noted. Moving on.<br />
<br />
[[Deirdre Ta'ea]]- A former Eorzean Guard member that Rio once served with. Given her propensity for stabbing people and generally threatening nature, Rio tends to be scared stiff of her. She is, in Rio's words, "A terrifying, horrible, super mean, stab-you-in-the-gut, jerk!".<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
*'''Height:''' Tall for a Lalafell, roughly 3'2"<br />
<br />
*'''Weight:''' Slightly overweight due to a combination of muscle mass and eating her own cooking.<br />
<br />
*'''Body:''' Pretty average, as far as Lalafell go. Actually has a large bust for a Lalafell but Lalafell don't really have busts so it's pretty impossible to tell. <br />
<br />
*'''Hair:''' Long and dyed violet with pink highlights. Although it's been a while since she changed her hair color, in the past she once had an immense fondness for dying her hair to the point where she doesn't remember what her natural hair color is. She tends to wear it in a pair of long pigtails high on the back of her head.<br />
<br />
*'''Eyes:''' Deep red, with the commonplace Dunesfolk film.<br />
<br />
*'''Skin:''' Somewhat tanned. She tends to tan easier than she burns.<br />
<br />
*'''Clothing: ''' While she normally wears rough and tumble adventurer's garbs, Rurufi isn't adverse to dressing up and relaxing in clothing made of more luxurious fabrics. She keeps a small wardrobe of lighter fabrics at home; and tends to wear more functional garments for adventuring.<br />

*'''Hair:''' Long and dyed violet with pink highlights. Although it's been a while since she changed her hair color, in the past she once had an immense fondness for dying her hair to the point where she doesn't remember what her natural hair color is.

Roughly around the same time that those who had been spirited away by Louisoux began returning to Eorzea, Rurufi also arrives by ship from foreign lands. Joining the influx of "new" and new adventurers, Rurufi travels throughout the realm; seeking new thrills, new sights, and of course, new and exciting foods.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
*'''Height:''' Tall for a Lalafell, roughly 3'2"<br />
<br />
*'''Weight:''' Slightly overweight due to a combination of muscle mass and eating her own cooking.<br />
<br />
*'''Body:''' Pretty average, as far as Lalafell go. Actually has a large bust for a Lalafell but Lalafell don't really have busts so it's pretty impossible to tell. <br />
<br />
*'''Hair:''' Long and dyed violet with pink highlights. Although it's been a while since she changed her hair color, in the past she once had an immense fondness for dying her hair to the point where she doesn't remember what her natural hair color is. She tends to wear it in a pair of long pigtails high on the back of her head.<br />
<br />
*'''Eyes:''' Deep red, with the commonplace Dunesfolk film.<br />
<br />
*'''Skin:''' Somewhat tanned. She tends to tan easier than she burns.<br />
<br />
*'''Clothing: ''' While she normally wears rough and tumble adventurer's garbs, Rurufi isn't adverse to dressing up and relaxing in clothing made of more luxurious fabrics. She keeps a small wardrobe of lighter fabrics at home; and tends to wear more functional garments for adventuring.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
*'''Height:''' Tall for a Lalafell, roughly 3'2"<br />
<br />
*'''Weight:''' Slightly overweight due to a combination of muscle mass and eating her own cooking.<br />
<br />
*'''Body:''' Pretty average, as far as Lalafell go. Actually has a large bust for a Lalafell but Lalafell don't really have busts so it's pretty impossible to tell. <br />
<br />
*'''Hair:''' Long and dyed violet with pink highlights. Although it's been a while since she changed her hair color, in the past she once had an immense fondness for dying her hair to the point where she doesn't remember what her natural hair color is. She tends to wear it in a pair of long pigtails high on the back of her head.<br />
<br />
*'''Eyes:''' Deep red, with the commonplace Dunesfolk film.<br />
<br />
*'''Skin:''' Somewhat tanned. She tends to tan easier than she burns.<br />
<br />
*'''Clothing: ''' While she normally wears rough and tumble adventurer's garbs, Rurufi isn't adverse to dressing up and relaxing in clothing made of more luxurious fabrics. She keeps a small wardrobe of lighter fabrics at home; and tends to wear more functional garments for adventuring.<br />

The two remained pen pals for several years, and met several times afterward until eventually they lost contact with each other. Shortly before Rio's death, the two briefly contacted each other once more.

<br />
*'''Height:''' Tall for a Lalafell, roughly 3'2"<br />
<br />
*'''Weight:''' Slightly overweight due to a combination of muscle mass and eating her own cooking.<br />
<br />
*'''Body:''' Pretty average, as far as Lalafell go. Actually has a large bust for a Lalafell but Lalafell don't really have busts so it's pretty impossible to tell. <br />
<br />
*'''Hair:''' Long and dyed violet with pink highlights. Although it's been a while since she changed her hair color, in the past she once had an immense fondness for dying her hair to the point where she doesn't remember what her natural hair color is. She tends to wear it in a pair of long pigtails high on the back of her head.<br />
<br />
*'''Eyes:''' Deep red, with the commonplace Dunesfolk film.<br />
<br />
*'''Skin:''' Somewhat tanned. She tends to tan easier than she burns.<br />
<br />
*'''Clothing: ''' While she normally wears rough and tumble adventurer's garbs, Rurufi isn't adverse to dressing up and relaxing in clothing made of more luxurious fabrics. She keeps a small wardrobe of lighter fabrics at home; and tends to wear more functional garments for adventuring.<br />

*Rio van Rosch- Childhood friends while she was growing up in Ul'dah. Once, Rio and her adoptive father traveled to Wineport on vacation, and met Rurufi and her parents. The two remained pen pals for several years, and met several times afterward until eventually they lost contact with each other. Shortly before Rio's death, the two briefly contacted each other once more. Other than her adoptive sisters and friends in Corvus, Rurufi was believed to have been Rio's closest confidant in the months before her death.<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
*'''Height:''' Tall for a Lalafell, roughly 3'2"<br />
<br />
*'''Weight:''' Slightly overweight due to a combination of muscle mass and eating her own cooking.<br />
<br />
*'''Body:''' Pretty average, as far as Lalafell go. Actually has a large bust for a Lalafell but Lalafell don't really have busts so it's pretty impossible to tell. <br />
<br />
*'''Hair:''' Long and dyed violet with pink highlights. Although it's been a while since she changed her hair color, in the past she once had an immense fondness for dying her hair to the point where she doesn't remember what her natural hair color is. She tends to wear it in a pair of long pigtails high on the back of her head.<br />
<br />
*'''Eyes:''' Deep red, with the commonplace Dunesfolk film.<br />
<br />
*'''Skin:''' Somewhat tanned. She tends to tan easier than she burns.<br />
<br />
*'''Clothing: ''' While she normally wears rough and tumble adventurer's garbs, Rurufi isn't adverse to dressing up and relaxing in clothing made of more luxurious fabrics. She keeps a small wardrobe of lighter fabrics at home; and tends to wear more functional garments for adventuring.<br />

==== Abilities ====<br />
<br />
*Hand-to-hand Combat - Rurufi practices a momentum based, self-taught martial art that takes advantage of her shorter height. She is very effective when using martial arts, frequently defeating creatures and opponents much larger than she. <br />
<br />
*Disciple of the Land- Rurufi is an expert wilderness survivalist, having an innate sense of what plants and minerals may be valuable. Also, growing up in La Noscea, she carries herself as a proficient fisherwoman. <br />
<br />
*Magitek Repair- Rurufi has picked up a tip or two regarding the repair of magitek devices from her occasional work with the Grand Companies. She's no Cid Garlond, but she's confident in her ability to fix simple problems, as well as operate more user-friendly devices.<br />
<br />
*Culinary - Rurufi is at least somewhat of a skilled cook, having to provide for her own meals in the wilderness. She's quite capable of scrounging up delicious meals from local flora and fauna. <br />
<br />
<br />
Less Useful: <br />
<br />
*Tends to charge blindly into battle, often resulting in her coming to serious harm.<br />
*Struggles with more arcane disciplines more due to a lack of interest than a lack of ability. In her opinion, evil is best dealt with using facepunch and more facepunch.<br />
*Trusting to a fault. She's amazingly gullible. Stunningly gullible even.<br />
<br />
<br />
==== Appearance ====<br />
<br />
'''Height:''' Incredibly tall by Lalafell standards. She is sometimes mistaken for a short hyur.<br />
<br />
'''Weight:''' A considerable bit heavier than most Lalafell, most of that being muscle weight<br />
<br />
'''Body:''' Built like a pole in the Mineral Concern. Tall and slim. Not much in the way of bust.<br />
<br />
'''Hair:''' Long and dyed violet with pink highlights. Although it's been a while since she changed her hair color, in the past she once had an immense fondness for dying her hair to the point where she doesn't remember what her natural hair color is. She tends to wear it in a pair of long pigtails high on the back of her head.<br />
<br />
'''Eyes:''' A deep red with the commonplace dunesfolk film over them.<br />
<br />
'''Skin:''' Somewhat tanned. She tends to tan easier than she burns.<br />
<br />
'''Scars/Markings:''' Thanks to the miracles of healing magic, Rurufi tends to get away with her combat-heavy lifestyle with a minimum of scars. She does, however, have a tattoo of several stars on her cheek.<br />
<br />
'''Clothes:''' While she normally wears rough and tumble adventurer's garbs, Rurufi isn't adverse to dressing up and relaxing in clothing made of more luxurious fabrics. While she may come across a certain piece of clothing that she likes occasionally, she hasn't accumulated any sizable wardrobe due to her mostly nomadic lifestyle.<br />
<br />
'''Voice:''' Due to her size, Rurufi's voice is slightly deeper than most Lalafells possess. Tends to be loud and boisterous when working. However, when she's not on a job, she tends to take a more relaxed tone. <br />
