<b>The White Masks</b> <br />
<br />
<i>"If you're heading the way of the Upper Paths, pray keep your eyes and ears open. There's been a spate of attacks from the White Masks. Wretched creatures they are, bereft of color with serrated teeth. Lately I've heard tale of some what went and turned traitor to their own, but we all know with those Duskwights recidivism is a matter of if, not when. You see any once you reach Gridania, give them a wide breadth."</i><br />
<br />
<br />
<div align=center>[[File:CelieBG.png|500px]]</div><br />
<br />
<br />
The White Masks have long been the stuff of rumor in the South Shroud. They are most commonly looked down upon as the descendants of the Gelmorrans who had a visceral fear of change, those who chose to tarry and toil as their better cousins and the Hyur ascended from the darkness to live in what would become Gridania. The conjectures about them are many and varied — and as often wrong as they are right. <br />
<br />
<br />
The White Masks do not sharpen their teeth. They are not cannibals partial to the flesh of Wildwoods. Perhaps the most prominent fact of the matter is they do not refer to themselves as White Masks at all. <br />
<br />
<br />
The Blanchets boast theirs were the ancestors to hold out longest in Gelmorra . . . and every other family among the so-called "White Masks", without exception, would swiftly assert the same. What all can agree is that between them are some of the only pure Gelmorran lines left in Eorzea. To the men, women, and children of this faction, they are as much Gelmorrans as they've ever been. Nothing more, and certainly nothing less. <br />
<br />
<br />
And yet. <br />
<br />
<br />
And yet like Gelmorra, they would suffer population decay in time. Half their people remained loyal, but half had begun to run off together into the night for whatever refuge they could hope to find. Brother turned on brother, sons betrayed their own fathers, and for a time it seemed history would indeed repeat itself. Then the leader of the "Gelmorrans," a man named Mourefort, decreed that every child that should come of age within their ranks, they would impress the importance of their heritage upon them not only through story and song, but through indelible ink; a mask, he said, so they may never wear the likes of another.<br />
<br />
<br />
After sightings of these distinctly white-masked Duskwights earned them their sobriquet, departure rates plummeted, and those that did leave were forced to travel far beyond the Twelveswood so as not to be recognized. Once in Menphina's blue moon, though, there would be such a soul emboldened enough to brave Gridania. <br />
<br />
<br />
Celie Blanchent would come to count herself among those scarce few — just not of her own violition. It was after a harsh summer of near-constant assaults from a group of Wood Wailers and run-ins with roving beasts; it was after a summer where they had too little meat, and their withered crops had but a tiny rivulet that ran thinner by the day; it was after a summer where they dug more graves than they celebrated births that Celie's mother lost hope in their cause and fled with her two children. Through many lies about having been forced to remain with the White Masks, through denouncing their kith and kin, it is said... and the less gentle version of the tale pays mention to a certain few, ahem, favors to a Hearer and perhaps Wood Wailer or two. In the end, the family was permitted to reside in Gridania. <br />
<br />
<br />
Celie's brother, Ivant, took well to their new home in his own way. Despite prejudice staring him in his tattooed face, he insisted not only would he be accepted in time, but that his sister would as well. He was determined they would be enrolled in the Conjurers' Guild, and so they were. He was determined at least one of them would prove to be a Hearer sooner or later, but for this hoping was not enough, and neither sibling ever heard so much as a whisper from any Elemental. <br />
<br />
<br />
After their mother passed, the now-mostly-grown duo made their way to Limsa Lominsa, a place Celie found much too chaotic but that her brother, as ever, made his own. It was there they would cobble together a ragtag group of sellswords and caretakers that would become their makeshift family. And it was there they would lose Ivant and a great many others to a mission gone awry.<br />
<br />
<br />
In present day, Celie can be found in the company of what remains of their company.</tab><br />

<br />
[[Image:CelieB2.png|left|350px]] <br />
<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:12px; color:#000000;font-family:Georgia;">Standing around 6 fulms, 3 ilms, Celie is a lightly muscled woman whose build is reminiscent of a hobby runner. (It's probably all that running for her life she does. Ah, living!) She is distinctly Elezen, with large ears that narrow to a point, and markedly of the Duskwight variety, dark of hair and eyes and skin. An indelible white mask is tattooed across the bulk of her face, joined by a pair of what some presume are vines but are in fact a representation of fissures as would be found in stone, the cultural significance of which she is not fain to interpret but that could perhaps be discerned well enough on its own. <br />
<br />
<br />
Her coarse hair is kept in a series of well-maintained braids and dreads, freer flowing near the back, on occasion worn in more manageable ways (aka less in her peripheral vision) if a job looks to be a taxing one. It is rare for it to not be corralled in some manner or another, be it through bands, a ponytail, or her usual look. <br />
<br />
<br />
For an adventurer, she has scarce few scars, courtesy of both her self-possessed ability to offer immediate treatment to any wounds she receives (provided she's conscious, of course) and rarely traveling without one or two bigger, stronger, liable-to-be-more-armored sorts willing to take the hits. <br />
<br />
<br />
Her attire favors the literally dark, ofttimes referred to as looking "ominous" by her nearest and dearest. The intent is not to look foreboding, however, it is simply that Celie is a far cry from a fashionista, and as she sees it nothing quite matches black and gray like more black and gray.<br />

<br />
By the book. A keeper of oaths. A stickler for the rules. These have all been used to describe Celie. She is a moral woman, but those morals do not operate independently of society. Established systems mean an established order to things. That which is done a certain way is done because it works. Even if things aren't ideal, they could always be worse, and unless shown beyond all reasonable doubt implementing change is for the better — for the needs of the many, not the needs of the few — Celie will typically deem unvetted solutions not as innovation, but haphazard risk-taking by those who can't see past the thrill of their imagination running wild. Less spoken of but as much considered is that failure would be a mark on her own record of reliability, and although Celie need be coerced to admit such a thing out loud and in so many words, some facets of her social standing are as important to her as anything else. <br />
<br />
<br />
The moment Celie steps foot on new ground she wants to know who is charge, where they are, and what they need done. But her yield to these authorities is contingent on their adherence to the values she holds in such high esteem; it is vital that they demonstrate honesty, dedication, and competence. Truly her loyalty extends only so far as her respect does, and should her superior fall from grace through fault of their own (and sometimes not), they are liable to look up and see her back already turned no matter how many moons their partnership has endured.<br />
<br />
<br />
"Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way" is taken well to heart. If need be — or just as often if no one asked — Celie naturally steps into leadership roles herself. Many would find her rigid, a micromanaging boss from the depths of the Hells sweating buckets about the details, but none could honestly critique the lengths she'll go through to keep her word, nor her overall efficiency, excepting her seeming inability or perhaps unwillingness to recognize the strengths of individuals she considers more effort than they're worth. <br />
<br />
<br />
Yet Celie thrives as part of a team, and for those who have proven their work ethic, she will defend them as fiercely as she would her own principles against most any opposition — up to and including those who outrank them — if that opposition is thoroughly proven "wrong." She is also willing to listen criticism from those both "above" <i>and</i> "below" her on whatever ladder she's taken to climbing, though entertaining the suggestion does not mean she'll fulfill it. <br />
<br />
<br />
While an odd shade of social butterfly, she is none the less. Celie always puts work before play, but when the time for play has arrived, many are taken aback by how outgoing she can be, sometimes to the point of being overbearing in her push for others to join her. Her opinion of people is rarely subject to fluctuating, though, and if she didn't like you yesterday, she probably won't like you today. What you see in her face, what you hear from her lips, that's what you get, today and tomorrow and the tomorrow after. Her friendships tend to lean more people-she-sees-daily-and-probably-works-with than anything, but as someone with such firmly held principles, generally a certain degree of 'kindred spirit' is to be expected.</tab><br />

Lately I've heard tale of some what went and turned traitor to their own, but we all know with those Duskwights recidivism is a matter of if, not when. You see any once you reach Gridania, give them a wide breadth."</i><br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
The White Masks have long been the stuff of rumor in the South Shroud. They are most commonly looked down upon as the descendants of the Gelmorrans who had a visceral fear of change, those who chose to tarry and toil as their better cousins and the Hyur ascended from the darkness to live in what would become Gridania. The conjectures about them are many and varied — and as often wrong as they are right. <br />
<br />
<br />
The White Masks do not sharpen their teeth. They are not cannibals partial to the flesh of Wildwoods. Perhaps the most prominent fact of the matter is they do not refer to themselves as White Masks at all. <br />
<br />
<br />
The Blanchets boast theirs were the ancestors to hold out longest in Gelmorra . . . and every other family among the so-called "White Masks", without exception, would swiftly assert the same. What all can agree is that between them are some of the only pure Gelmorran lines left in Eorzea. To the men, women, and children of this faction, they are as much Gelmorrans as they've ever been. Nothing more, and certainly nothing less. <br />
<br />
<br />
And yet. <br />
<br />
<br />
And yet like Gelmorra, they would suffer population decay in time. Half their people remained loyal, but half had begun to run off together into the night for whatever refuge they could hope to find. Brother turned on brother, sons betrayed their own fathers, and for a time it seemed history would indeed repeat itself. Then the leader of the "Gelmorrans," a man named Mourefort, decreed that every child that should come of age within their ranks, they would impress the importance of their heritage upon them not only through story and song, but through indelible ink; a mask, he said, so they may never wear the likes of another.<br />
<br />
<br />
After sightings of these distinctly white-masked Duskwights earned them their sobriquet, departure rates plummeted, and those that did leave were forced to travel far beyond the Twelveswood so as not to be recognized. Once in Menphina's blue moon, though, there would be such a soul emboldened enough to brave Gridania. <br />
<br />
<br />
Celie Blanchent would come to count herself among those scarce few — just not of her own violition. It was after a harsh summer of near-constant assaults from a group of Wood Wailers and run-ins with roving beasts; it was after a summer where they had too little meat, and their withered crops had but a tiny rivulet that ran thinner by the day; it was after a summer where they dug more graves than they celebrated births that Celie's mother lost hope in their cause and fled with her two children. Through many lies about having been forced to remain with the White Masks, through denouncing their kith and kin, it is said... and the less gentle version of the tale pays mention to a certain few, ahem, favors to a Hearer and perhaps Wood Wailer or two. In the end, the family was permitted to reside in Gridania. <br />
<br />
<br />
Celie's brother, Ivant, took well to their new home in his own way. Despite prejudice staring him in his tattooed face, he insisted not only would he be accepted in time, but that his sister would as well. He was determined they would be enrolled in the Conjurers' Guild, and so they were. He was determined at least one of them would prove to be a Hearer sooner or later, but for this hoping was not enough, and neither sibling ever heard so much as a whisper from any Elemental. <br />
<br />
<br />
After their mother passed, the now-mostly-grown duo made their way to Limsa Lominsa, a place Celie found much too chaotic but that her brother, as ever, made his own. It was there they would cobble together a ragtag group of sellswords and caretakers that would become their makeshift family. And it was there they would lose Ivant and a great many others to a mission gone awry.<br />
<br />
<br />
In present day, Celie can be found in the company of what remains of their company.</tab></div>Tahlahttps://wiki.ffxiv-roleplayers.com/index.php?title=File:CelieBG.png&diff=300447File:CelieBG.png2018-05-23T07:01:44Z<p>Tahla: </p>

<br />
<b>Under Construction</b><br />
<br />
Born and raised in a small faction of the Noykin, Atlani was simultaneously well-suited for and at odds with her tribe. In discussing all things beast, you couldn't want for a better audience, yet she struggled to relate to her fellow Xaela, blind to the nuance of expression and body language; too insensitive (both intentionally and not) to form any strong bonds with even her own siblings. She did, however, uphold the Noykin name with a near-flawless track record, taming not only Steppes' horses but several other creatures as well — and at least surviving the encounters with those she did not, earning numerous grotesque scars along the way. <br />
<br />
<br />
Atlani's first exposure to Eorzea was through an Ul'dahn bard and vagabond, with the assistance of a Kha ambassador. She was immediately intrigued by his personal experiences with the Amalj'aa, and all the more by the awe-inspiring tales of Ifrit and the Primals. The full extent of their power was lost in translation... or perhaps Atlani didn't care to listen. Determined to be the first Noykin to tame one of these fantastical creatures, she left home with all the provisions and ambition she could carry. <br />
<br />
<br />
Needless to say, it took all of one encounter with the Tempered to understand a Primal's might. Too ashamed of her folly to return home, Atlani made her way to the Arcanist's Guild where she studied for half a decade before setting her sights on Ul'dahn, the homeland of the man who had inspired her journey in its infancy. There she would apprentice under a chocobo veterinarian, in time securing his practice for herself, and branching out to become a lucrative breeder and jockey. <br />

[[Image:Atlani2B.png|left|350px]] <br />
<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:12px; color:#000000;font-family:Georgia;"> Atlani has a sallow complexion, dreadlocks of similar color, and narrow brown eyes that droop at the edges. Her nose is shaped like a beak, protruding over her thin upper lip and perpetually swollen bottom one. She sports a multitude of claw-marked scars and half-healed bite wounds across her face and body, a patchwork of hunts and tamings past. It would be a fair and all too accurate assumption to think this was no Steppes beauty even before she'd been marred. <br />
<br />
<br />
For an Auri woman, Atlani's about as tall as they come. Her teeth have been filed to points, though some have been chipped or broken off entirely throughout the years. <br />
<br />
<br />
On a scale of 1 to 10, her wardrobe variance is approaching zero. It's rare for her to be seen out of "uniform," the bright yellow garb she wears during races and daily life both. Except when working as a veterinarian, she is known to keep her chocobo mask on at all times, purportedly a matter of preference as opposed to self-consciousness. <br />

<br />
If you ask the woman herself, the real story of Myara's life begins with that of a man she will never meet: Wilmund Lightstrike — a self-appointed name, to be certain. An Ala Mhigan Highlander, votary of the Destroyer, Fist of Rhalgr practitioner among the sect of light faction, Wilmund had a great many things to be proud of. It is said, as was the way of the Fist, he lived for the thrill of battle with one exception, the struggle no man can ever truly win: the war at home. <br />
<br />
<br />
His son, Nikolas, was a sickly thing from birth, left mostly to the care of his mother Hannah. As Theodorac rose to power within Ala Mhigo, Hannah feared what awaited on the horizon. She implored Wilmund to abscond with them somewhere else, anywhere else; a place that was safer, and quieter, with better access to the medicines and healing Nikolas required. <br />
<br />
<br />
But Wilmund would not be made to retreat, and so of her own volition, Hannah took their son and fled. Eventually, she would settle in Gridania. Eventually, one last time, she would see Wilmund if only through his words, a shakily penned letter sent mere weeks before the Fist of Rhalgr's defeat. <i>My dear Hannah,</i> Wilmund had written, <i>you were right. One way or another, I will fall here beside my brothers and sisters, but the Fist of Rhalgr must rise again. Please, give this to Nikolas.</i> And Hannah wept as she held the soul crystal in one hand and the hand of her new love in the other. The father had not yet died, but the son had long since perished.<br />
<br />
<br />
Hannah had her doubts about the Fist, but the sun, she thought, that will surely rise again. And it did: Myara became the light of her mother's life. Sired by Hannah's second husband, a midlander native to Gridania, Myara Bannis was born a robust and hearty baby, ordinary but for the port-wine stains bespeckling her face. <br />
<br />
<br />
Although made to endure some mockery for her facial deformity and gangling limbs, Myara had a relatively happy childhood, for better and worse known for her insatiable curiosity, pulling the other girls' hair, and her bad influence over her allegedly better behaved sister.<br />
<br />
<br />
As Myara came of age, she opted to honor her Highlander heritage and her own mordant sense of humor, changing her surname from Bannis to Portwine. She took this name with her to Ul'dah, where she trained with the pugilist guild day in, day out. It took two years to prove to her mother her dedication was lifelong as any Fist of Rhalgrs could be; finally, Myara was handed Wilmund's soul crystal — and it reacted immediately. <br />
<br />
<br />
"Well," said Hannah, "he did always want a daughter." <br />

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:12px; color:#000000;font-family:Georgia;">Brown-eyed Myara has the complexion of someone liable to sunburn rather than tan, which she does. Often. Her red hair is kept cropped front to back more as a matter of function than style, and is allegedly prone to split ends and frizz if allowed to grow longer, anyroad. <br />
<br />
Her most distinctive physical features are the port-wine stains, a.k.a. birthmarks, splashed across her face, coloring both cheeks, part of her forehead, the bridge of her nose, and purpling her lips. Although they can be covered with makeup, it requires lavish amounts, and will inevitably be perspired away, making the effort more than it's worth but for extravagant occasions. <br />
<br />
She favors earthy colors in wardrobe, primarily browns, greens, and sunset oranges, and has a strong affinity for shorts and pants above skirts and dresses, seldom worn even in formal settings. Jewelry and trinkets are rare, though she will sometimes wear beads in her hair on leisurely days. <br />

<br />
Friendly but intensely private, first impressions of Myara run the gamut from dull and aloof to an enigmatic creator, the verdict often a matter of circumstance more than anything. Though well-attuned to the world around her, Myara will at times simply drift through it, lost in one of her own making until, suddenly, something new and intriguing appears — and lo and behold, her dormant curiosity is spurred back to life. She may go so far as to guilelessly encroach on the 'space' of others in the interest of what it is they're doing, but all things being fair (with fairness being a cornerstone to life, as she sees it), she gladly returns the favor in kind. These matters of intriguing 'somethings' will almost always be within the realm of a hobby or a skill. Idle gossip is of little interest, and small talk no strong suit of hers. <br />
<br />
<br />
Stress, too, is all but a stranger. Most days Myara is something of a passive optimist, waving off problems, both hers and those of others, particularly if they seem liable to resolve themselves. This has left quite a few people with a sour taste in their mouth and a sour opinion of Myara in turn, branding her — perhaps accurately — as dismissive, if not conceited. But in a true crisis, Myara's default is that of a calm and focused problem-solver, and it's in these moments if no other she seems wise beyond her years. <br />

Generally, any character Myara has interacted with on three+ separation occasions or she has known ICly for an extended amount of time is added here when I remember. If you would like your character removed for any reason (or no reason at all!), please just let me know! As always, IC is IC, and opinions this character has of others do not reflect my OOC opinions of these characters (spoilers: they're amazing). <br />

- Did your character grow up in Gridania? Perhaps they know each other! <br />

- Need your shield repaired? A new suit of armor? Myara comes recommended and highly trained in her field. Alternatively, she is always willing to apprentice to someone more experienced in certain niches than she is. <br />

<br />
If you ask the woman herself, the real story of Myara's life begins with that of a man she will never meet: Wilmund Lightstrike — a self-appointed name, to be certain. An Ala Mhigan Highlander, votary of the Destroyer, Fist of Rhalgr practitioner among the sect of light faction, Wilmund had a great many things to be proud of. It is said, as was the way of the Fist, he lived for the thrill of battle with one exception, the struggle no man can ever truly win: the war at home. <br />
<br />
<br />
His son, Nikolas, was a sickly thing from birth, left mostly to the care of his mother Hannah. As Theodorac rose to power within Ala Mhigo, Hannah feared what awaited on the horizon. She implored Wilmund to abscond with them somewhere else, anywhere else; a place that was safer, and quieter, with better access to the medicines and healing Nikolas required. <br />
<br />
<br />
But Wilmund would not be made to retreat, and so of her own volition, Hannah took their son and fled. Eventually, she would settle in Gridania. Eventually, one last time, she would see Wilmund if only through his words, a shakily penned letter sent mere weeks before the Fist of Rhalgr's defeat. <i>My dear Hannah,</i> Wilmund had written, <i>you were right. One way or another, I will fall here beside my brothers and sisters, but the Fist of Rhalgr must rise again. Please, give this to Nikolas.</i> And Hannah wept as she held the soul crystal in one hand and the hand of her new love in the other. The father had not yet died, but the son had long since perished.<br />
<br />
<br />
Hannah had her doubts about the Fist, but the sun, she thought, that will surely rise again. And it did: Myara became the light of her mother's life. Sired by Hannah's second husband, a midlander native to Gridania, Myara Bannis was born a robust and hearty baby, ordinary but for the port-wine stains bespeckling her face. <br />
<br />
<br />
Although made to endure some mockery for her facial deformity and gangling limbs, Myara had a relatively happy childhood, for better and worse known for her insatiable curiosity, pulling the other girls' hair, and her bad influence over her allegedly better behaved sister.<br />
<br />
<br />
As Myara came of age, she opted to honor her Highlander heritage and her own mordant sense of humor, changing her surname from Bannis to Portwine. She took this name with her to Ul'dah, where she trained with the pugilist guild day in, day out. It took two years to prove to her mother her dedication was lifelong as any Fist of Rhalgrs could be; finally, Myara was handed Wilmund's soul crystal — and it reacted immediately. <br />
<br />
<br />
"Well," said Hannah, "he did always want a daughter." <br />

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:12px; color:#000000;font-family:Georgia;">Brown-eyed Myara has the complexion of someone liable to sunburn rather than tan, which she does. Often. Her red hair is kept cropped front to back more as a matter of function than style, and is allegedly prone to split ends and frizz if allowed to grow longer, anyroad. <br />
<br />
Her most distinctive physical features are the port-wine stains, a.k.a. birthmarks, splashed across her face, coloring both cheeks, part of her forehead, the bridge of her nose, and purpling her lips. Although they can be covered with makeup, it requires lavish amounts, and will inevitably be perspired away, making the effort more than it's worth but for extravagant occasions. <br />
<br />
She favors earthy colors in wardrobe, primarily browns, greens, and sunset oranges, and has a strong affinity for shorts and pants above skirts and dresses, seldom worn even in formal settings. Jewelry and trinkets are rare, though she will sometimes wear beads in her hair on leisurely days. <br />

<br />
Friendly but intensely private, first impressions of Myara run the gamut from dull and aloof to an enigmatic creator, the verdict often a matter of circumstance more than anything. Though well-attuned to the world around her, Myara will at times simply drift through it, lost in one of her own making until, suddenly, something new and intriguing appears — and lo and behold, her dormant curiosity is spurred back to life. She may go so far as to guilelessly encroach on the 'space' of others in the interest of what it is they're doing, but all things being fair (with fairness being a cornerstone to life, as she sees it), she gladly returns the favor in kind. These matters of intriguing 'somethings' will almost always be within the realm of a hobby or a skill. Idle gossip is of little interest, and small talk no strong suit of hers. <br />
<br />
<br />
Stress, too, is all but a stranger. Most days Myara is something of a passive optimist, waving off problems, both hers and those of others, particularly if they seem liable to resolve themselves. This has left quite a few people with a sour taste in their mouth and a sour opinion of Myara in turn, branding her — perhaps accurately — as dismissive, if not conceited. But in a true crisis, Myara's default is that of a calm and focused problem-solver, and it's in these moments if no other she seems wise beyond her years. <br />

Generally, any character Myara has interacted with on three+ separation occasions or she has known ICly for an extended amount of time is added here when I remember. If you would like your character removed for any reason (or no reason at all!), please just let me know! As always, IC is IC, and opinions this character has of others do not reflect my OOC opinions of these characters (spoilers: they're amazing). <br />

- While not one to engage in idle chatter with strangers often, those with key things in common will find a conversation partner verbose as any other.

<br />
- Did your character grow up in Gridania? Perhaps they know each other! <br />
<br />
- Need your shield repaired? A new suit of armor? Myara comes recommended and highly trained in her field. Alternatively, she is always willing to apprentice to someone more experienced in certain niches than she is. <br />

<br />
If you ask the woman herself, the real story of Myara's life begins with that of a man she will never meet: Wilmund Lightstrike — a self-appointed name, to be certain. An Ala Mhigan Highlander, votary of the Destroyer, Fist of Rhalgr practitioner among the sect of light faction, Wilmund had a great many things to be proud of. It is said, as was the way of the Fist, he lived for the thrill of battle with one exception, the struggle no man can ever truly win: the war at home. <br />
<br />
<br />
His son, Nikolas, was a sickly thing from birth, left mostly to the care of his mother Hannah. As Theodorac rose to power within Ala Mhigo, Hannah feared what awaited on the horizon. She implored Wilmund to abscond with them somewhere else, anywhere else; a place that was safer, and quieter, with better access to the medicines and healing Nikolas required. <br />
<br />
<br />
But Wilmund would not be made to retreat, and so of her own volition, Hannah took their son and fled. Eventually, she would settle in Gridania. Eventually, one last time, she would see Wilmund if only through his words, a shakily penned letter sent mere weeks before the Fist of Rhalgr's defeat. <i>My dear Hannah,</i> Wilmund had written, <i>you were right. One way or another, I will fall here beside my brothers and sisters, but the Fist of Rhalgr must rise again. Please, give this to Nikolas.</i> And Hannah wept as she held the soul crystal in one hand and the hand of her new love in the other. The father had not yet died, but the son had long since perished.<br />
<br />
<br />
Hannah had her doubts about the Fist, but the sun, she thought, that will surely rise again. And it did: Myara became the light of her mother's life. Sired by Hannah's second husband, a midlander native to Gridania, Myara Bannis was born a robust and hearty baby, ordinary but for the port-wine stains bespeckling her face. <br />
<br />
<br />
Although made to endure some mockery for her facial deformity and gangling limbs, Myara had a relatively happy childhood, for better and worse known for her insatiable curiosity, pulling the other girls' hair, and her bad influence over her allegedly better behaved sister.<br />
<br />
<br />
As Myara came of age, she opted to honor her Highlander heritage and her own mordant sense of humor, changing her surname from Bannis to Portwine. She took this name with her to Ul'dah, where she trained with the pugilist guild day in, day out. It took two years to prove to her mother her dedication was lifelong as any Fist of Rhalgrs could be; finally, Myara was handed Wilmund's soul crystal — and it reacted immediately. <br />
<br />
<br />
"Well," said Hannah, "he did always want a daughter." <br />

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:12px; color:#000000;font-family:Georgia;">Brown-eyed Myara has the complexion of someone liable to sunburn rather than tan, which she does. Often. Her red hair is kept cropped front to back more as a matter of function than style, and is allegedly prone to split ends and frizz if allowed to grow longer, anyroad. <br />
<br />
Her most distinctive physical features are the port-wine stains, a.k.a. birthmarks, splashed across her face, coloring both cheeks, part of her forehead, the bridge of her nose, and purpling her lips. Although they can be covered with makeup, it requires lavish amounts, and will inevitably be perspired away, making the effort more than it's worth but for extravagant occasions. <br />
<br />
She favors earthy colors in wardrobe, primarily browns, greens, and sunset oranges, and has a strong affinity for shorts and pants above skirts and dresses, seldom worn even in formal settings. Jewelry and trinkets are rare, though she will sometimes wear beads in her hair on leisurely days. <br />

<br />
Friendly but intensely private, first impressions of Myara run the gamut from dull and aloof to an enigmatic creator, the verdict often a matter of circumstance more than anything. Though well-attuned to the world around her, Myara will at times simply drift through it, lost in one of her own making until, suddenly, something new and intriguing appears — and lo and behold, her dormant curiosity is spurred back to life. She may go so far as to guilelessly encroach on the 'space' of others in the interest of what it is they're doing, but all things being fair (with fairness being a cornerstone to life, as she sees it), she gladly returns the favor in kind. These matters of intriguing 'somethings' will almost always be within the realm of a hobby or a skill. Idle gossip is of little interest, and small talk no strong suit of hers. <br />
<br />
<br />
Stress, too, is all but a stranger. Most days Myara is something of a passive optimist, waving off problems, both hers and those of others, particularly if they seem liable to resolve themselves. This has left quite a few people with a sour taste in their mouth and a sour opinion of Myara in turn, branding her — perhaps accurately — as dismissive, if not conceited. But in a true crisis, Myara's default is that of a calm and focused problem-solver, and it's in these moments if no other she seems wise beyond her years. <br />

<br />
If you ask the woman herself, the real story of Myara's life begins with that of a man she will never meet: Wilmund Lightstrike — a self-appointed name, to be certain. An Ala Mhigan Highlander, votary of the Destroyer, Fist of Rhalgr practitioner among the sect of light faction, Wilmund had a great many things to be proud of. It is said, as was the way of the Fist, he lived for the thrill of battle with one exception, the struggle no man can ever truly win: the war at home. <br />
<br />
<br />
His son, Nikolas, was a sickly thing from birth, left mostly to the care of his mother Hannah. As Theodorac rose to power within Ala Mhigo, Hannah feared what awaited on the horizon. She implored Wilmund to abscond with them somewhere else, anywhere else; a place that was safer, and quieter, with better access to the medicines and healing Nikolas required. <br />
<br />
<br />
But Wilmund would not be made to retreat, and so of her own volition, Hannah took their son and fled. Eventually, she would settle in Gridania. Eventually, one last time, she would see Wilmund if only through his words, a shakily penned letter sent mere weeks before the Fist of Rhalgr's defeat. <i>My dear Hannah,</i> Wilmund had written, <i>you were right. One way or another, I will fall here beside my brothers and sisters, but the Fist of Rhalgr must rise again. Please, give this to Nikolas.</i> And Hannah wept as she held the soul crystal in one hand and the hand of her new love in the other. The father had not yet died, but the son had long since perished.<br />
<br />
<br />
Hannah had her doubts about the Fist, but the sun, she thought, that will surely rise again. And it did: Myara became the light of her mother's life. Sired by Hannah's second husband, a midlander native to Gridania, Myara Bannis was born a robust and hearty baby, ordinary but for the port-wine stains bespeckling her face. <br />
<br />
<br />
Although made to endure some mockery for her facial deformity and gangling limbs, Myara had a relatively happy childhood, for better and worse known for her insatiable curiosity, pulling the other girls' hair, and her bad influence over her allegedly better behaved sister.<br />
<br />
<br />
As Myara came of age, she opted to honor her Highlander heritage and her own mordant sense of humor, changing her surname from Bannis to Portwine. She took this name with her to Ul'dah, where she trained with the pugilist guild day in, day out. It took two years to prove to her mother her dedication was lifelong as any Fist of Rhalgrs could be; finally, Myara was handed Wilmund's soul crystal — and it reacted immediately. <br />
<br />
<br />
"Well," said Hannah, "he did always want a daughter." <br />

<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:12px; color:#000000;font-family:Georgia;">Brown-eyed Myara has the complexion of someone liable to sunburn rather than tan, which she does. Often. Her red hair is kept cropped front to back more as a matter of function than style, and is allegedly prone to split ends and frizz if allowed to grow longer, anyroad. <br />
<br />
Her most distinctive physical features are the port-wine stains, a.k.a. birthmarks, splashed across her face, coloring both cheeks, part of her forehead, the bridge of her nose, and purpling her lips. Although they can be covered with makeup, it requires lavish amounts, and will inevitably be perspired away, making the effort more than it's worth but for extravagant occasions. <br />
<br />
She favors earthy colors in wardrobe, primarily browns, greens, and sunset oranges, and has a strong affinity for shorts and pants above skirts and dresses, seldom worn even in formal settings. Jewelry and trinkets are rare, though she will sometimes wear beads in her hair on leisurely days. <br />

<br />
Friendly but intensely private, first impressions of Myara run the gamut from dull and aloof to an enigmatic creator, the verdict often a matter of circumstance more than anything. Though well-attuned to the world around her, Myara will at times simply drift through it, lost in one of her own making until, suddenly, something new and intriguing appears — and lo and behold, her dormant curiosity is spurred back to life. She may go so far as to guilelessly encroach on the 'space' of others in the interest of what it is they're doing, but all things being fair (with fairness being a cornerstone to life, as she sees it), she gladly returns the favor in kind. These matters of intriguing 'somethings' will almost always be within the realm of a hobby or a skill. Idle gossip is of little interest, and small talk no strong suit of hers. <br />
<br />
<br />
Stress, too, is all but a stranger. Most days Myara is something of a passive optimist, waving off problems, both hers and those of others, particularly if they seem liable to resolve themselves. This has left quite a few people with a sour taste in their mouth and a sour opinion of Myara in turn, branding her — perhaps accurately — as dismissive, if not conceited. But in a true crisis, Myara's default is that of a calm and focused problem-solver, and it's in these moments if no other she seems wise beyond her years. <br />

<br />
- Did your character grow up in Gridania? Perhaps they know each other! <br />
<br />
- Need your shield repaired? A new suit of armor? Myara comes recommended and highly trained in her field. Alternatively, she is always willing to apprentice to someone more experienced in certain niches than she is. <br />

<B>UNDER CONSTRUCTION - 04/19</b><br />
<br />
<br />
If you ask the woman herself, the real story of Myara's life begins with that of a man she will never meet: Wilmund Lightstrike — a self-appointed name, to be certain. An Ala Mhigan Highlander, votary of the Destroyer, Fist of Rhalgr practitioner among the sect of light faction, Wilmund had a great many things to be proud of. It is said, as was the way of the Fist, he lived for the thrill of battle with one exception, the struggle no man can ever truly win: the war at home. <br />
<br />
<br />
His son, Nikolas, was a sickly thing from birth, left mostly to the care of his mother Hannah. As Theodorac rose to power within Ala Mhigo, Hannah feared what awaited on the horizon. She implored Wilmund to abscond with them somewhere else, anywhere else; a place that was safer, and quieter, with better access to the medicines and healing Nikolas required. <br />
<br />
<br />
But Wilmund would not be made to retreat, and so of her own volition, Hannah took their son and fled. Eventually, she would settle in Gridania. Eventually, one last time, she would see Wilmund if only through his words, a shakily penned letter sent mere weeks before the Fist of Rhalgr's defeat. <i>My dear Hannah,</i> Wilmund had written, <i>you were right. One way or another, I will fall here beside my brothers and sisters, but the Fist of Rhalgr must rise again. Please, give this to Nikolas.</i> And Hannah wept as she held the soul crystal in one hand and the hand of her new love in the other. The father had not yet died, but the son had long since perished.<br />
<br />
<br />
Hannah had her doubts about the Fist, but the sun, she thought, that will surely rise again. And it did: Myara became the light of her mother's life. Sired by Hannah's second husband, a midlander native to Gridania, Myara Bannis was born a robust and hearty baby, ordinary but for the port-wine stains bespeckling her face. <br />
<br />
<br />
Although made to endure some mockery for her facial deformity and gangling limbs, Myara had a relatively happy childhood, for better and worse known for her insatiable curiosity, pulling the other girls' hair, and her bad influence over her allegedly better behaved sister.<br />
<br />
<br />
As Myara came of age, she opted to honor her Highlander heritage and her own mordant sense of humor, changing her surname from Bannis to Portwine. She took this name with her to Ul'dah, where she trained with the pugilist guild day in, day out. It took two years to prove to her mother her dedication was lifelong as any Fist of Rhalgrs could be; finally, Myara was handed Wilmund's soul crystal — and it reacted immediately. <br />
<br />
<br />
"Well," said Hannah, "he did always want a daughter." <br />

<b>The Spire</b> <br />
<br />
<i>In the third heaven rises an iron tower of spinning gears and taut springs constructed by the Builder himself. It is assailed without cease by the jealous Rhalgr, but the Destroyer's mighty levinbolts only serve to power the spire's clockwork soul. It is through the blessings of both creation and destruction that strength is granted to he who sees his stars rise under this sign.</i><br />
<br />
<br />
<div align=center>[[File:KalaB.png|500px]]</div><br />
<br />
<br />
Kalani was six summers old when an off-handed comment from one of her tribe's doula changed one thing, and so changed everything: "Look at that, Kala! The Spire. You were born beneath those stars." Seeing no distinction between one cluster of stars and the next, she borrowed (<i>possibly</i> without asking) a battered tome from one of the more scholarly Tia, thumbing through illustrations of celestial bodies, captivated. It was this budding intrigue that drove her to badger those able-minded to teach her read, a non-compulsory form of education in their particular variant of Eft. <br />
<br />
<br />
Kalani learned all she could of the constellations — the Spire, the Spear, the Arrow and more — and in time, this voracious appetite for niche-fueled knowledge spread to other interests, the scope of which seemed to know no bounds. A notoriously argumentative child among her peers, she took great satisfaction in knowing things they did not, earning in addition a reputation for being a haughty know-it-all. Her immediate family had little more fondness to be spared, her father the long-standing Nunh with too many children to make time for; her mother, once the beauty of Eft, souring more with every wrinkle; her siblings prone to ignoring at each other at best, internecine contention at worst — helped none by Kalani, who like the Builder's tower in the stars, considered herself stronger with every slight against her, goading arguments for argument's sake. <br />
<br />
<br />
There was no sibling rivalry more blatant and vicious than that of Kalani and her brother Tyi, who would, as expected of such a charismatic and capable boy, go on to challenge and defeat E'malha Nunh, father to both. But before that there would be another: E'vahn Tia, long the perhaps one-sided apple of Kalani's eye and recipient of frequent vocal support. In the wake of his loss, Kalani felt insulted a way that, for once, left her embittered rather than empowered. Tyi's eventual victory was salt poured in a still-open wound; inevitably, their relationship would only, could only, become more scathing. <br />
<br />
<br />
Lo and behold, far too many summers later, a challenger appeared: E'zayi Tia, son of some nobody 'city cat' and a mother Kalani couldn't pick from a crowd. She gathered with the rest of the tribe to watch just how badly her brother would bloody the poor idiot... except that he didn't. <br />
<br />
<br />
And Kalani wasted no time in getting to know their new Nunh, the first to re-introduce herself, the first to gain foothold, the first in his bed and subsequently the first with child, though no one could be certain of it at the time. With her brother gone and her unofficially sanctioned as the Nunh's favorite huntress, life was great until it wasn't. <br />
<br />
<br />
A Keeper Zayi had mutually fallen for in his travels breached tribe borders to plead with him to return. She never had the chance, intercepted by Kalani herself, spared by an erring Kalani would later regret. The Eft herself would go on to lie to Zayi, however, claiming she had in fact killed his beloved, going so far as to plant decoy bones in a drake pit where she claimed to have hid the body, all in the hopes he would then have no reason to leave. <br />
<br />
<br />
Coincidentally, it was none other than Vahn who would out her as a liar, during a visit to confirm for himself Zayi's victory. Upon hearing the Keeper was alive and well, Zayi left Eft once again, and in the chaos of too many Tia vying for their Nunh vacancy, Tyi would return and do as he always did: get his way eventually.</tab><br />

[[Image:KalaA.png|left|350px]] <br />
<div align=justify><div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:12px; color:#000000;font-family:Georgia;">Kalani has the tan complexion displayed by most of her tribe, with almond-shaped, green-yellow eyes. Her cheeks and, if you squint, the bridge of her nose are dappled with freckles that appear to stand out all the more after a day spent tarrying and toiling in the sun. Her hair and fur are a uniform brunette, sans the tip of her tail, of a slightly darker shade. <br />
<br />
<br />
She dresses befitting her studies in the Thaumaturge's Guild and the Arrzaneth Ossuary when in attendance, wearing robes of subdued colors, often with modest adornments as one would see on a priestess. Outside this line of work is another matter entirely, Kalani favoring bold colors, primarily oranges, reds, and pinks, none more than rolanberry. She has a preference for dresses and skirts and is a friend to all accessories but earrings. Perish the thought of sticking anything metal in her ears, thank you very much.<br />

<br />
Rarely does Kalani make it to high noon without having thought of several other things she <i>could</i> be doing with her time. She values an educated mind and sports an insatiable curiosity that bounds from one inquiry to the next, garnering knowledge, generating ideas, too little given pause enough to implement any of them. Likewise more interested in absorbing information than making decisions, she has a reputation for never finishing what she starts, or if she does, stalling several times to pursue afterthoughts along the way. The next challenge, the next question, the next of anything always seems more tantalizing than the foundation it sprouted from. <br />
<br />
<br />
Her penchant for debating for the sake of debate leaves many with the impression she's overly-argumentative, and her inclination to play Devil's Advocate for the fun of it, verbally combating even her own opinions, at times comes off as hypocritical to those of more steadfast credence. Kindred spirits, however, will find a tireless friend for whom a night of sipping wine and discussing the War of the Sisters is considered a good time. <br />
<br />
<br />
Perhaps surprisingly, Kalani does try to act within the confines of the law, but will push those boundaries as far as the realm of 'technically legal' allows, more apt to brandish it as justification for her decisions than any fervent desire to adhere to it out of righteousness; known to toe the line of subjectively unethical while, by law, <i>technically</i> doing nothing 'wrong.'<br />

Generally, any character Kalani has interacted with on three+ separation occasions is added here when I remember. If you would like your character removed for any reason (or no reason at all!), please just let me know! As always, IC is IC, and opinions this character has of others do not reflect my OOC opinions of these characters (spoilers: they're amazing). <br />

When Vahn lost his fight to her father, Kalani walked away from him (as did the rest), those dreams shattered. In time, and with greater life experience and wisdom, Kalani came to regret her harsh treatment, but saying so is another matter, and so her relationship with Vahn remains strained even as they become co-workers.

- <i>Avid</i> Triple Triad player, known to take part in all the tournaments available. Similar to her lab work/studies, the race, creed, general standing of her opponent seems not to matter. A good player is a good player, and a good player is always appreciated. <br />

<font style="color: #000000; letter-spacing: 0em;">If you ask the woman herself, the real story of Myara's life begins with that of a man she will never meet: Wilmund Lightstrike — a self-appointed name, to be certain. An Ala Mhigan Highlander, votary of the Destroyer, Fist of Rhalgr practitioner among the sect of light faction, Wilmund had a great many things to be proud of. It is said, as was the way of the Fist, he lived for the thrill of battle with one exception, the struggle no man can ever truly win: the war at home. <br />
<br />
His son, Nikolas, was a sickly thing from birth, left mostly to the care of his mother Hannah. As Theodorac rose to power within Ala Mhigo, Hannah feared what awaited on the horizon. She implored Wilmund to abscond with them somewhere else, anywhere else; a place that was safer, and quieter, with better access to the medicines and healing Nikolas required. <br />
<br />
But Wilmund would not be made to retreat, and so of her own volition, Hannah took their son and fled. Eventually, she would settle in Gridania. Eventually, one last time, she would see Wilmund if only through his words, a shakily penned letter sent mere weeks before the Fist of Rhalgr's defeat. <i>My dear Hannah,</i> Wilmund had written, <i>you were right. One way or another, I will fall here beside my brothers and sisters, but the Fist of Rhalgr must rise again. Please, give this to Nikolas.</i> And Hannah wept as she held the soul crystal in one hand and the hand of her new love in the other. The father had not yet died, but the son had long since perished.<br />
<br />
Hannah had her doubts about the Fist, but the sun, she thought, that will surely rise again. And it did: Myara became the light of her mother's life. Sired by Hannah's second husband, a midlander native to Gridania, Myara Bannis was born a robust and hearty baby, ordinary but for the port-wine stains bespeckling her face. <br />
<br />
Although made to endure some mockery for her facial deformity and gangling limbs, Myara had a relatively happy childhood, for better and worse known for her insatiable curiosity, pulling the other girls' hair, and her bad influence over her allegedly better behaved sister.<br />
<br />
As Myara came of age, she opted to honor her Highlander heritage and her own mordant sense of humor, changing her surname from Bannis to Portwine. She took this name with her to Ul'dah, where she trained with the pugilist guild day in, day out. It took two years to prove to her mother her dedication was lifelong as any Fist of Rhalgrs could be; finally, Myara was handed Wilmund's soul crystal — and it reacted immediately. <br />
<br />
"Well," said Hannah, "he did always want a daughter." <br />

<div align=left padding-bottom=20><font style="color: #000000; letter-spacing: 0em;"><br />
Friendly but intensely private, first impressions of Myara run the gamut from dull and aloof to an enigmatic creator, the verdict often a matter of circumstance more than anything. Though well-attuned to the world around her, Myara will at times simply drift through it, lost in her own until, suddenly, something new appears — and lo and behold, her dormant curiosity is spurred back to life. She may go so far as to guilelessly encroach on the 'space' of others in the interest of what it is they're doing, but all things being fair (with fairness being a cornerstone to life, as she sees it), she gladly returns the favor in kind. These matters of intriguing 'somethings' will almost always be within the realm of a hobby or a skill. Idle gossip is of little interest, and small talk no strong suit of hers. <br />
<br />
Stress, too, is all but a stranger. Most days Myara is something of a passive optimist, waving off problems, both hers and those of others, particularly if they seem liable to resolve themselves. This has left quite a few people with a sour taste in their mouth and a sour opinion of Myara in turn, branding her — perhaps accurately — as dismissive, if not conceited. But in a true crisis, Myara's default is that of a calm and focused problem-solver, and it's in these moments if no other she seems wise beyond her years. </font></div><br />

<font style="color: #000000; letter-spacing: 0em;">If you ask the woman herself, the real story of Myara's life begins with that of a man she will never meet: Wilmund Lightstrike — a self-appointed name, to be certain. An Ala Mhigan Highlander, votary of the Destroyer, Fist of Rhalgr practitioner among the sect of light faction, Wilmund had a great many things to be proud of. It is said, as was the way of the Fist, he lived for the thrill of battle with one exception, the struggle no man can ever truly win: the war at home. <br />
<br />
His son, Nikolas, was a sickly thing from birth, left mostly to the care of his mother Hannah. As Theodorac rose to power within Ala Mhigo, Hannah feared what awaited on the horizon. She implored Wilmund to abscond with them somewhere else, anywhere else; a place that was safer, and quieter, with better access to the medicines and healing Nikolas required. <br />
<br />
But Wilmund would not be made to retreat, and so of her own volition, Hannah took their son and fled. Eventually, she would settle in Gridania. Eventually, one last time, she would see Wilmund if only through his words, a shakily penned letter sent mere weeks before the Fist of Rhalgr's defeat. <i>My dear Hannah,</i> Wilmund had written, <i>you were right. One way or another, I will fall here beside my brothers and sisters, but the Fist of Rhalgr must rise again. Please, give this to Nikolas.</i> And Hannah wept as she held the soul crystal in one hand and the hand of her new love in the other. The father had not yet died, but the son had long since perished.<br />
<br />
Hannah had her doubts about the Fist, but the sun, she thought, that will surely rise again. And it did: Myara became the light of her mother's life. Sired by Hannah's second husband, a midlander native to Gridania, Myara Bannis was born a robust and hearty baby, ordinary but for the port-wine stains bespeckling her face. <br />
<br />
Although made to endure some mockery for her facial deformity and gangling limbs, Myara had a relatively happy childhood, for better and worse known for her insatiable curiosity, pulling the other girls' hair, and her bad influence over her allegedly better behaved sister.<br />
<br />
As Myara came of age, she opted to honor her Highlander heritage and her own mordant sense of humor, changing her surname from Bannis to Portwine. She took this name with her to Ul'dah, where she trained with the pugilist guild day in, day out. It took two years to prove to her mother her dedication was lifelong as any Fist of Rhalgrs could be; finally, Myara was handed Wilmund's soul crystal — and it reacted immediately. <br />
<br />
"Well," said Hannah, "he did always want a daughter." <br />
