'''Lilithium Altair (Lil-ith-ium Ah-l-tair) '''is a older Hyur midlander who is often seen in and around Ul'dah and various other parts of Eorzea. Her maternal nature and affectionate disposition leaves her well liked by most who come across her. Widowed three years before the Calamity and with her three children all grown and out of the house as of roughly a year ago, Lili finds that she's able to focus on herself and her own happiness for the first time since her teens. It's left her with many doorways of oppurtunity to choose from, some full of light and adventure while others harbor a darker purpose...

Recently, she has become the owner of a staffing company known as the Free Wing Society and adopted a little boy named Adokenai. On top of that, she has opened her heart that led to avenues she never dared dream were possible. She currently has a mate (C'kayah Tia), and a lover (Kaiten Skyborn) who further enrich her life along with the various friends she has made along the way.

'''Note: Lili is able to see the aether of various individuals she meets. They manifest as light and colors, and I will sometimes whisper people OOC to determine what their aether is like so Lili can react or adjust accordingly.'''

[[File:LiliSelf.png|none|LiliSelf.png]]

<span class="mw-headline">Standing at 5 fulm and 4 ilm, Lili is used to seeing the world from the shorter side of things. She used to wear her pale blonde hair long and nearly to her elbows, but almost two moons ago she chopped it rather short. Recently, she's grown it out again. Her eyes are very light green with a silvery cast to the color to give it an odd shimmering quality. While her features deceive others of her true age, she bares what marks she has with pride: Some crows feet at the corner of her eyes that show when she laughs, and similar lines at the corner of her lips that only start to show when she is smiling broadly. </span>Having bared three children (two of which were twins), she was left with rather shapely hips and added curves that she had not possessed in her youth. One of the physical features most noticed by some who meet Lili is her rather large bust despite her small size. It usually causes her a myriad of problems, as some of her shorter Miqo'te friends and Lalafell companions sometimes get suffocated when she hugs them. The rest of her is well toned from the muscle and strenght it takes to wield her axe and fist weapons, and sunkissed from her years by the shores of Limsa or the sands of Ul'dah. Around her neck is a long chain with little silver fingerbells attached to it, and on her ring finger looks to be a wedding or engagement ring of some kind.

=== <span class="mw-headline" id="Behavior">Behavior</span> ===

Having gotten pregnant at fourteen and raising or looking after her children and those of others left Lili with a maternal nature that has been driven down to the core of her very being. She tends to look out for those around her, especially those that she feels a soft spot for, or those around her children's age (teens to early twenties range). Though this maternal drive of hers doesn't make her a pushover in the least, as it is possible to ignite her ire with the right buttons being pushed. Over all, she's calm and even tempered and usually the voice of reason for those around her. Ever one to play devil's advocate.

<span class="mw-headline">Lili hasn't had much of a need to show her skills publically, but in the few times she's sparred with friends she's shown a great aptitude for a martial arts style of combat. Her fists, being her primary weapon, are usually not the thing to worry</span> about. They sometimes serve as a mere distraction for her rather powerful legs to catch someone off guard. When she does happen to use her axe, it's an interesting sight since some of the weaponry are almost as big as she is. Yet she yields them with ease, using all her force with each blow. She fights with a certain level of honor, though if the situation should call for it she won't be afraid to play dirty.

Always one for trying and learning new things, Lili spends much of her idle time active in one way or another. If she's not relaxing in the Quicksand or the occasional visit to the Drowning Wench, she'll be home or out and about doing some kind of activity or socializing.

Bloodied and unconscious, Lili took him to the nearby Sanctum of the Twelve and managed to save his life. While the two aren't in close contact, she sees him sporadically and keep in the back of her mind his offer to look after her children as a way of thanks for her helping him.

<span class="mw-headline">''<font style="color:#9EC60B" size="3">●</font>''</span>[[Aya Foxheart]]: The Quicksand's favorite barmaid, Lili worked alongside C'kayah to help Aya with some personal problems, and offered the woman multiple safe places to hide away at should she had needed it. Afterwards, she hasn't seen much of her, though that hasn't stopped the affection she began to feel towards the woman.

''<font style="color:#9EC60B" size="3"><font style="color:#F02311" size="3">♥</font>●</font>''[[C'kayah Tia]]: A Miqo'te who once supplied Lili with alchemical materials she was having a hard time acquiring, he was smitten with her from the start and she rejected his advances over and over again. Instead, teasing him with playful retorts and equally playful skepticism. They ended up being around one another off and on as time went on, and over time Lili came to see that his feelings and gestures were indeed sincere and affectionate by his repeat efforts to prove such. While their relationship has been complex and unbinding and open, they have ventured into deeper territory and C'kayah recently asked her to be his mate. They are now engaged, and Lili seemed more then happy whenever the two are seen together.

<span class="mw-headline">''<font style="color:#9EC60B" size="3"><font style="color:#8f8377" size="3">●</font></font>''[[Darturu Torlan]]</span>: Darturu and Lili were once mated, but his co-creation of the Blacktalon Vanguard made balancing work and a relationship difficult. The two eventually decided to part ways, still caring for one another, but now left to their own devices. As time has passed and seeing less and less of him, her feelings had softened to the point where romance is no longer something she entertains with the Miqo'te. They have not seen one another since she left the Vanguard, and she seems to have no desire to change that.

''<font style="color:#9EC60B" size="3">●</font>''[[Dheina Tayuun]]: A young Miqo'te she met when coming back to Ul'dah via her previous mate, Darturu. They keep in touch sporadically, and have a pleasent friendship.

[[Kenthy Pennyfeather|<span class="mw-headline">''<font style="color:#9EC60B" size="3">●</font>''</span>Kenthy Pennyfeather]]: A miqo'te Lili met through her interractions with C'kayah and the Morbolvines, she's grown a light friendship with the woman, as well as quite a bit of respect due to the help that was given to her during her experience in the form of a Moonkeeper. Despite her sassy and slightly abrasive nature, Lili finds her pleasent. During a series of discussions involving Kenthy and C'kayah's desire to add intimacy to their current relationship, Kenthy lashed out at Lili in a way that had her feeling almost hostile towards the woman. Later on, the two women managed to patch things up and Lili gave Kenthy her blessing to be involved with C'kayah.

<font style="color:#F02311" size="3">♥</font><span class="mw-headline">''<font style="color:#9EC60B" size="3">●</font>''</span>[[Kaiten Skyborn]]: Lili's lover and a Midlander, the two met in the Quicksand and have gradually built a relationship from there. While not exactly dating or mated or in anything serious, they enjoy the simplistic and mostly private nature of their relationship. Knowing of Kaiten's interesting past has given her a better feeling of closeness to the male, and he is aware that Lili has other romantic entanglements. While not opposed, he would rather not know specifics. The time they have spent together has strenghtened their bond, and Lili has grown to love the male in her own way. He returns the affection, and they both seem very happy with what they share together. He is one of the most important people in Lili's life.

However, they seem neither friendly nor hostile. Instead only polite when meeting or speaking in passing. More often then not Kol's grumpy attitude tends to irk Lili even if she may not always show it.

Knowing a few tidbits about his current health and situation, she's been doing some research into what can possibly be done to help him. Between her work in the Society and his involvements in other matters, assisting him hasn't been as large of a priority.

''<font style="color:#9EC60B" size="3">●</font>''[[Mouse Wytchwood]]: A miqo'te girl with odd origins and green hair, Lili has always regarded the girl with motherly concern and attention. From watching her from afar or explaining terms and concepts she does not easily grasp or helping with her hair. She knows enough of Mouse's backstory to keep her eye on the girl when she's able to, and to try and guide harm out of her way

He also is a friend of her adopted son, Ado. After a night out together, he confessed to feelings of a more romantic nature, and the two have been slowly getting to know one another from there. He is also the one that gave her a little pet fawn whom she affectionately calls Dot. As their interractions have progressed, as well as his hints and confessions to seeing Lili as a prospective wife, it's left her feeling uncertain yet flattered at such intense emotions. Though she is with C'kayah, the two still openly have feelings for one another. However, Rock does not fully agree with her open relationship and it leaves things in an interesting place for the two of them.

She recently acknowledged that she is attracted to the man, but doesn't see anything developing due to his condition and his current relationship, as much as the desire to do so may linger there. She sees Tenha'a as a confidant and close friend, despite not seeing him around very often.

Afterwards, the two didn't speak for a while and had one rather large argument that Tenha'a even became part that drove Lili away emotionally for a short time. Slowly, she is allowing herself to come back, and while still unsure entirely where she fits in the girl's life, she's content to take it day by day while they both live their own lives. She's recently offered T'shina and her clan job openings at the Society for they have a means of income should it be needed.

=== <span class="mw-headline" id="1548-1565_Childhood.2Fadolescence">1544-1559 Childhood/adolescence </span><br/> ===

Born an only child, Lili had a comfortable life with her parents living in Ul'dah. Taking frequent trips to the countryside and the desert to look for new herbs and roots and other things that were in demand or that her parents needed to discover. They met a variety of people and went a variety places before Lili even learned how to walk, though their home territory was always Ul'dah and the Thanalans. Around the time Lili was just turning five, her parents decided to relocate to La Noscea and start maping and surveying the lush island terrain. While on the cargo ship to Limsa Lominsa, the Altairs discovered a tiny bundle that was wailing and screaming and covered in bloodied rags. A newborn Miqo'te child, still covered in the blood of labor pains, though with no mother in sight. No one on the ship knew where she came from, and eventually Lili's parents made her part of the family and named her Rahsha.

Time passed easily in La Noscea. Lili treasured little Rahsha as if she was a blood sister. The tail and ears were only a cute little addition Lili liked to play with. Around the time she was eight and Rahsha was barely three, a family moved in nearby from Ala Mhigo with a single child of their own. A dark skinned, blonde haired, red eyed little prankster of a boy named Ghislan Nightwing. He was immidiately taken with Lili, even as a young boy, and showed it in his typical fashion of flipping her skirts, pulling on her head, and throwing sand and mud balls at he face. This usually earned him retaliation of equal brutality by Lili, with assistance from little Rahsha while their parents looked on with affection and amusement.

The years passed without incident. The comings and goings of the outside world seemed far away from Lili. Her life consisted of her family and Ghislan, and it seemed to be all she needed. As Ghislan and Lili got older, they went from children to friends, and before long, they were fawning over one another in the typical girlish and boyish fashions. Shortly after Lili's fourteenth birthday gathering, their love for one another was too much to be contained (in their young eyes at least). Following their coupling, Lili realized she was pregnant, and the two quickly escaped into the night to find the closest Priestess of Menphina to bless a union between them. Their elopement was received with a measure of shock and surprise that was quickly welcomed by all, save for Rahsha. Feeling that her sister abandoned her, the little Miqo'te never quite outgrew such feelings.

And thus began the life of Mrs. Lilithium Nightwing.

=== <span class="mw-headline" id="1565-1572_The_carefree_life">1559-1569 Lilithium Amal'thea Nightwing </span><br/> ===

The married life was one Lili slipped into with ease. Shortly after turning fifteen summers, she gave birth to Khavan Amadeus Nightwing, who looked more like his father then anything else. Despite being young, they were hard working with Lili spending the majority of her time as a house wife taking care of their son with the aide of both of their parents. While Rahsha was loving to a degree to Khavan, she was still distant with her sister. It was something that, while Lili mourned for the lack of emotion she got from her, she couldn't focus on too deeply and still provide the needed care for her family.

During the first few years of their marriage, Ghislan continued to grow. Taller and taller and taller, reaching well past the average height for a Highlander. While it certainly got attention in a crowd and delighted Lili as well, it caught the eye of a few mercenary groups who saw great potential. Soon, he was recruited and cycled through a few companies who paid well and the work was mostly geared towards training. It brought in enough profit that Lili and Ghislan built their family home from the ground up. A beautiful, pale stoned cottage melded with shells from the nearby shore.

Throwing a grand celebration with friends to honor the new homestead, everyone (even Lili) drank in good cheer. One man amoungst them, however, took advantage of the situation. A long time friend of the couples' who joined Ghislan as a healer in some of his fights and jobs, his poor health would be the death of him soon and they all knew it. Amore Silverlark was his name, and he was the only living member of his family. Determined to not leave this world without carrying out his family name, he guided a very intoxicated Lili to a back room to take advantage, and succeeded with getting her pregnant. Overcome by guilt, he confessed to Ghislan who nearly killed him on the spot were it not for Lili intervening. Barely able to let it pass, Ghislan agreed to curb his animosity while it was discussed on what to do. A few weeks later, Amore succumbed to his illness and passed away, leaving Lili and Ghislan with two choices: Keep the illegitimate children, or find a way to terminate the pregnancy.

Months later, Deisarameda and Sarameda Silverlark were born. In honor of Amore and Ghislan's more happy history together, they kept the surname and Ghislan raised them as his own. Sadly, they inherited their father's illness and were in poor health as children and even into their now adult life.

Shortly after the girls were born, Lili's parents died abruptly in a house fire. Mere days later, Rahsha disappeared with what little belongings she covered from the fire. To this day, Lili has rarely seen sight of her adopted sister and has heard rumors that she retreated to the Shroud to perhaps find clues to her true family.

The years passed without incident. Ghislan put aside his mercenary life to join the military efforts around La Noscea and even beyond. During one particular assignment he was doing freelance for the Immortal Flames, they were attacked by Garleans in which Ghislan was captured and taken away. There was never a body recovered, and Lili was wracked by grief for a number of years. Even with her children there as support, it slowly became accepted that Ghislan was likely dead and never returning. Her soulmate, the love of her life, the father of her children, was gone. There was no more to be done.

And so, life went on.

=== <span class="mw-headline" id="1572.2F0-Present_Calamity">1569/0-Present Calamity </span><br/> ===

Lili ended up retaking her maiden name of Altair a few years after Ghislan passed, not feeling right baring the name of her dead husband. The day of the Calamity, Lili and her three children visited the empty grave on a little cliff over looking the sea that was dedicated to Ghislan. All four watched in complete horror as the world around them was torn to bits and land and buildings became decimated. Thankfully, their home remained intact and they suffered no severe losses. Lili focused more on her alchemical talents to help locals and those in the cities while making a little extra money for herself and her family. <br/><br/>Within the last two years, her children grew up into beautiful, capable young adults. All three starting to go their own ways to build their new lives.

:-Lili is very kind and affectionate to most people she meets. That doesn't necessarily mean she's flirting with you.<br/>
:-I tend to ignore or shut down individuals who get upset OOC about not being romantically involved with Lili and/or not getting the oppurtunity. She didn't pick you so there's probably a reason. Get over it.<br/>
:-I'm very nice OOC so don't hesitate to approach for random RP, ideas, or if you want to know more about the Society!<br/>

<table style="position:center;" width="75%">

:Chokho Viqqoh is a mystery hidden in plain sight. People aren't quick to question someone with a laugh on their tongue and a smile on their lips, and that suits her just fine. While she is used to the spotlight and frequently slips into the center of attention, precious few people seem to notice that her motives run deeper than the simple, hedonistic lush that she pretends to be. Luckily for everyone, those intentions are far from malicious.

:Most people will never have to worry about any of that. She is more or less content to offer jokes, stories, and make friends. She deeply enjoys philosophy, art, and discussion on either when she can find them, but a playful wink and compliment will do just as well.

<font style="color:#F37E1D;" size="2">'''★'''You can generally assume any knowledge here is NOT something easily accessible on an IC level! Chokho dedicates a lot of time and effort into concealing information about herself, by whatever means necessary.</font>

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

:Chokho stands just a touch taller than most other miqo'te, with a vaguely athletic form. While she does train to keep herself fit, she isn't the most disciplined person in Eorzea. With muscles toned just enough to look good, she isn't about to overpower anyone.

:Whatever physical intimidation her body lacks, her face makes up for. Black markings run across her expression and naturally draw attention towards her crimson eyes. An open-mouth grin to show off her canines, hawkish features, and narrow eyes give Chokho a naturally frightening visage.

:While she certainly carries herself with a casual grace, Chokho puts in a deliberate effort to keep herself meticulously clean. Her vanity is a weak point, and she proudly shows it. She thinks she looks attractive and presents herself in a way to let the world see what she does.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Behavior & Personality</div>===
:While Chokho certainly LOOKS intimidating, her personality is anything but. Her powerful presence is used only in the most benevolent of ways as she shamelessly flirts and eagerly jokes with anyone (mostly) willing to hear her out. She is quick to laugh and quicker to make friends. Chokho has an insatiable appetite for play and shows no shame in cracking bad jokes, impishly teasing, or mercilessly flirting with anything on two feet.

:What is less frequently seen is Chokho's deeply philosophical side. She has a very though-out view of the world that puts her on a self-imposed quest to spread happiness wherever she can. She spreads bad jokes because she believes it is important to laugh, and very few people know of her life between the sheets despite her constant flirtations. Chokho does not hide the fact that she enjoys a good book and discussion more than a drink and a romp, but she simply assumes that people find these much more boring social alternatives. And who wants to risk boring, when you can share a laugh instead?

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

:Chokho is practiced in stealth - physical and social. She can just as easily make topics and emotions disappear in a shroud of lies, as she can vanish into the night. From picking locks to drawing out secrets, Chokho's fascination with people and ninja background gives her a wide variety of skills befitting a thief.

:Her ninjitsu makes full use of expert level unarmed combat, and she is beyond vicious with short blades. She also makes use of self-made poisons and other alchemical boons whenever she needs to. She also has basic experience with a wide variety of weapons, from blade to bow - but these skills do not surpass a hobbyist level.

<table style="position:center;" width="100%">

<font style="color:#F37E1D;" size="2">'''★'''Viqqoh is a common name in Eorzea. Perhaps you've heard it before? That's likely because it's an often recommended name from moon keeper name generators - but forget about that. We can come up with a better reason than that!</font>

:A name is passed down to each child by keeper's [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Miqo%27te/Naming tradition]. Some of these names can be traced as far back as the First Astral Era. Viqqoh (alongside Luna and Jinjahl) is one such powerful name. The jungles of Othard house a large sect of the name Viqqoh. Through power pushed through guile, they've claim to be the original holders of the name before it spread to Eorzea.

:The name carries deliberate power and pride to its members, but it's expanse has not been entirely mapped out! Chokho's family is deliberately open ended in some parts to allow other players to take up the roles if they desire. If the idea interests you, contact me! There are already three members of the family in play, though the other players are a secret for the time being.

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

====<div style="padding:0px 20px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;"> 1551 - 1561 </div>====

[[File:Treetopvillage.jpg|500px|thumb|right|Home in the jungles of Othard]]
:Chokho Viqqoh was born in the jungles of Othard to a large and powerful family. One of last children that her mother had, Chokho would have eventually grown up to be a powerful mage or skilled hunter like her many brothers and sisters, if not for an unusual illness.

:Chokho was born pale and weak, and she would stay this way for her entire childhood. Local conjurers had never seen a sickness such and this and they were only able to surmise that some part of the girl, on an aetheric level, was "missing". There was a hole in her being that could be filled by no magic. Without a cure, Chokho was cursed to an eternal shortness of breath and frail form. She was not given long to live.

:The girl was lucky in one thing: her mother. Chokho's mother was a powerful woman and matriarch to the clan. When the conjurers said there was nothing they could do, she told them to find someone better. When no one was found with an answer she liked, she took matters into her own hands. Even though the Viqqoh clan was founded on pride and power, its stern hunters and arguably ruthless mages rallied around one of their own. Through spells, foreign medicines, and more supplies than she could ever hope to reply, Chokho would live. She would never have the strength of her peers and could rarely muster the energy to leave her home, but she would live.

:Her life was painful, but not without joy. While the majority of the clan could spare little time from their tasks, Chokho had the regular company of two other members who were deemed equally non-vital: her brother Xau'to and her father Hawu'a. Xau'to, a scoundrel by trade, was a frequent source of company and always had a trick up his sleeve or a story to tell to keep the sick child company. Any childhood Chokho has she owes to her sibling's affection. While her father often took to the road for the sake of the clan, he was never the less a pillar of stability for a life teetering so close to death. One of the most influential gestures he ever did was paint Chokho's face in the stripes she still wears today. Reminiscent of a tiger native to their home, Hawu'a was quick to remind Chokho how strong tigers are and how much she is like them.

:While Chokho did not contribute to her tribe as much as the others, her sisters found her at least bearable. It certainly helped that for what she lacked in body she made up for in mind. With little to do outside her brother's company, Chokho sharpened her mind with whatever books her father brought home. Her insatiable appetite for knowledge was mostly a squandered gift on the amazonian family, but her stories and legends made her entertaining enough to not be considered a complete burden.

[[File:chochibbi.jpg|155px|thumb|right|"Someone once tried to tell me you can't be cute, AND sexy... GUESS I SHOWED HIM!"]]
=====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">1562 - 1572</div>=====

:And then life came bursting forth with fire and fury.

:Overnight, and completely without explanation, Chokho was cured. Her bones roared with strength for the first time, her skin went from its pale grey to a rich dark, and air rushed to fill her lungs without struggle. Although she was no stronger than any other miqo'te in her family: she felt invincible. She was eager to contribute to the family in a more meaningful way - if nothing else to show her father what a strong tiger she had become.

:Of course, the mysterious fix had a mysterious drawback. Chokho began to experience episodes of aetheric flux. Without warning she began to spit fire, crush rock underneath her feet, or scorch everyone around her. The raw power behind these elemental possessions dwarfed the power of the clan's thaumaturges. It became quickly apparent that Chokho was a threat to everything and everyone around her.

:Ever understanding, her family (mother) sought answers before it sought blood. Tensions ran rampant and Chokho once again fell into introverted isolation - this time for the safety of others more than herself. Not only did each outburst threaten those immediately around her, but it threatened to attract the smothering attention of the ever-present Garlean Empire. As the family's search found no answers, it was Chokho's mother that made the grim decision.

:For her own safety and that of the tribe, Chokho would have to leave the tribe. The decision pleased no one. Unwilling to abandon her daughter completely, Chokho's mother assigned her two guardians: Xau'to and Hawu'a -- her brother and father. The two were tasked with keeping Chokho safe as they traveled. With a heavy heart and teary eyes, the trio left their home and began their adventure.

:The trio scoured the land to better understand Chokho's condition, but never found a suitable answer. Her condition seemed entirely unique. While they found no answers on its cause, they did find a way to control it. Through meditation, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mudra mudra], and discipline, Chokho was able to control her outbursts. She quickly learned that while wild emotion was not the cause of these outbursts, it served as a catalyst. As long as she remained in control, she was less likely to harm those around her.

:This monk-like approach to controlling herself made Chokho very receptive to the teachings of the world as she wandered. She developed a deeply philosophical world view during her travels. Conversation and literature sharpened Chokho's mind, and her tribe's ninja techniques and skills - passed on through her brother - toned her body. Chokho practiced a great many arts while traveling the land, but she preferred none of them as much as she did subtlety.

:For many years, the band traveled far and wide. There was never a point where they found themselves particularly well off, and had to often made use of their tribes' techniques for petty acts of thievery simply to survive. Still, they were well intentioned and always happy to be together. It was far from perfect, but it was a nice life. Of course, it all fell to pieces when [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/The_Twelve#Menphina.2C_the_Lover Menphina's bastard hound] came crashing down.

[[File:Calamityc.jpg|325px|thumb|left|A day she refuses to talk about]]
=====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">0 - 5</div>=====

:When Bahamut's rampage was done, Chokho was the only one left standing.

:Chokho has been tight lipped about what exactly she experienced during the calamity. The specifics are not as important as the end results: she was alone, nothing to her name, and no closer to understanding the power within that started her journey.

:Without family, guidance, or direction, Chokho adopted a very nihilistic view of the world. Paired with a carefree attitude that had been adopted from her brother, it did not take long for Chokho's live to revolve around a self-obsessed hedonism. She drifted from town to town, seeking what pleasures she could from local vices and people, only to discard them both when they became cumbersome.

:An excessive amount of time was spent in Limsa Lominsa, where her views fit well with the local pirates and mercenaries. Although she was reluctant to fight - and indeed took on the guise of a helpless damsel - she was more than willing to make a few connections. Without her families supervision, Chokho knew that she could easily fall into trouble at Garlean hands. So she surrounded herself with troublemakers and ne'er-do-wells, and began to build a network of underground contacts.

:For five years, Chokho drifted on well placed lies and false smiles, without any true goal in sight. It kept her safe, and that made her happy. She had no semblance of purpose, and she didn't want any. If everything was to die, she would do so laughing.

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

:Over the last few months, Chokho has slowly shed her nihilistic shell. Due in no small part to a few friendly souls, she recovered her faith in the world. No longer believing that nothing mattered and the only thing to do was to be happy: she has instead decided nothing matters EXCEPT being happy.

:She has developed a complicated but structured philosophy of happiness, in which she tries to enable other people so that they may feel joy like she did during her hedonistic days.

:Chokho still defaults to subtly and subterfuge in day-to-day life, but only because it's a skill that should be practiced. She uses her philosophy and her training for entirely altruistic means... even if she doesn't make it publicly known.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Recent History</div>===
[[File:8bit_Chokho.png|200px|right|frame|Humble beginnings]]
:With the recent razing of Doma, Chokho has been distraught with thoughts of home. She has no idea how the other nations of Othard are doing, and fears for the worst. With no reasonable way back and no good way to influence the area, she has dedicated a lot of time to helping the refugees coming in from across the sea.

:In secret, she has been talking to other ninja about whether or not they should spread their art to Eorzea. While Chokho is worried that this will attract unwanted attention from the Garlean Empire, she also knows that without a homeland - Doma's culture is in great danger and may soon die out. She is preparing to reveal her talents and take a much more violent vigil over Othard's refugees.

: <font style="color:#FA70BC;" size="3">♥</font> [[Alexaria Whiteraven]] - Like many contacts, Chokho was first drawn to Alexaria due to tight pants. Once all attempts to get into them fell flat, Chokho was surprised to find that Alex kept such a sharp, philosophical mind. She now delights in talking to the woman about deeper thoughts and the workings of the mind and spirit, instead of the flesh.

<table style="position:center;" width="100%">

While Chokho's IC musical influence mainly consists of sea shanties and drinking song, the OOC hand behind it all is a HUGE music fan. Here's a few things I use to help me into the mindset of my own character.

: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtMXnr293zU This Will be the Day] - Often seen as meek and helpless, Chokho is always just waiting for the moment to spring. It helps that she genuinely wants to be hero, too.

: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVXL7YxRyxI Jago's Theme] - On top of being from another tiger-themed character, this just fits combat too well. Even violence is controlled. It is meditative. It teaches.

: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-J-Py3u96A I Burn] - Chokho is rarely cocky enough to speak like this out loud, but being one step above the competition generally suits her. It helps that fire is a theme within her story.

: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnzgdBAKyJo You Know my Name] - "If you think you've won, you never saw me change the game that we have been playing."

: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCt5IOJSwh8 Catwoman Theme] - As much as I appreciate rock, there is a gentleness to the character that can only done justice with strings for steps.

: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CoHkpCYvOk Honor and Pride] - There is no possible deeper meaning to this. It just keeps me in an aware state of mind for Chokho almost constantly. Even when she's angry or sad - there is an underlying serenity.

: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8kP0CElJA8 Young and Naive] - Pretty much Chokho's entire love life summed up in a single song.

<table style="position:center;" width="75%">

:Chokho Viqqoh is a mystery hidden in plain sight. People aren't quick to question someone with a laugh on their tongue and a smile on their lips, and that suits her just fine. While she is used to the spotlight and frequently slips into the center of attention, precious few people seem to notice that her motives run deeper than the simple, hedonistic lush that she pretends to be. Luckily for everyone, those intentions are far from malicious.

:Most people will never have to worry about any of that. She is more or less content to offer jokes, stories, and make friends. She deeply enjoys philosophy, art, and discussion on either when she can find them, but a playful wink and compliment will do just as well.

<font style="color:#F37E1D;" size="2">'''★'''You can generally assume any knowledge here is NOT something easily accessible on an IC level! Chokho dedicates a lot of time and effort into concealing information about herself, by whatever means necessary.</font>

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

:Chokho stands just a touch taller than most other miqo'te, with a vaguely athletic form. While she does train to keep herself fit, she isn't the most disciplined person in Eorzea. With muscles toned just enough to look good, she isn't about to overpower anyone.

:Whatever physical intimidation her body lacks, her face makes up for. Black markings run across her expression and naturally draw attention towards her crimson eyes. An open-mouth grin to show off her canines, hawkish features, and narrow eyes give Chokho a naturally frightening visage.

:While she certainly carries herself with a casual grace, Chokho puts in a deliberate effort to keep herself meticulously clean. Her vanity is a weak point, and she proudly shows it. She thinks she looks attractive and presents herself in a way to let the world see what she does.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Behavior & Personality</div>===
:While Chokho certainly LOOKS intimidating, her personality is anything but. Her powerful presence is used only in the most benevolent of ways as she shamelessly flirts and eagerly jokes with anyone (mostly) willing to hear her out. She is quick to laugh and quicker to make friends. Chokho has an insatiable appetite for play and shows no shame in cracking bad jokes, impishly teasing, or mercilessly flirting with anything on two feet.

:What is less frequently seen is Chokho's deeply philosophical side. She has a very though-out view of the world that puts her on a self-imposed quest to spread happiness wherever she can. She spreads bad jokes because she believes it is important to laugh, and very few people know of her life between the sheets despite her constant flirtations. Chokho does not hide the fact that she enjoys a good book and discussion more than a drink and a romp, but she simply assumes that people find these much more boring social alternatives. And who wants to risk boring, when you can share a laugh instead?

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

:Chokho is practiced in stealth - physical and social. She can just as easily make topics and emotions disappear in a shroud of lies, as she can vanish into the night. From picking locks to drawing out secrets, Chokho's fascination with people and ninja background gives her a wide variety of skills befitting a thief.

:Her ninjitsu makes full use of expert level unarmed combat, and she is beyond vicious with short blades. She also makes use of self-made poisons and other alchemical boons whenever she needs to. She also has basic experience with a wide variety of weapons, from blade to bow - but these skills do not surpass a hobbyist level.

<table style="position:center;" width="100%">

<font style="color:#F37E1D;" size="2">'''★'''Viqqoh is a common name in Eorzea. Perhaps you've heard it before? That's likely because it's an often recommended name from moon keeper name generators - but forget about that. We can come up with a better reason than that!</font>

:A name is passed down to each child by keeper's [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Miqo%27te/Naming tradition]. Some of these names can be traced as far back as the First Astral Era. Viqqoh (alongside Luna and Jinjahl) is one such powerful name. The jungles of Othard house a large sect of the name Viqqoh. Through power pushed through guile, they've claim to be the original holders of the name before it spread to Eorzea.

:The name carries deliberate power and pride to its members, but it's expanse has not been entirely mapped out! Chokho's family is deliberately open ended in some parts to allow other players to take up the roles if they desire. If the idea interests you, contact me! There are already three members of the family in play, though the other players are a secret for the time being.

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

====<div style="padding:0px 20px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;"> 1551 - 1561 </div>====

[[File:Treetopvillage.jpg|500px|thumb|right|Home in the jungles of Othard]]
:Chokho Viqqoh was born in the jungles of Othard to a large and powerful family. One of last children that her mother had, Chokho would have eventually grown up to be a powerful mage or skilled hunter like her many brothers and sisters, if not for an unusual illness.

:Chokho was born pale and weak, and she would stay this way for her entire childhood. Local conjurers had never seen a sickness such and this and they were only able to surmise that some part of the girl, on an aetheric level, was "missing". There was a hole in her being that could be filled by no magic. Without a cure, Chokho was cursed to an eternal shortness of breath and frail form. She was not given long to live.

:The girl was lucky in one thing: her mother. Chokho's mother was a powerful woman and matriarch to the clan. When the conjurers said there was nothing they could do, she told them to find someone better. When no one was found with an answer she liked, she took matters into her own hands. Even though the Viqqoh clan was founded on pride and power, its stern hunters and arguably ruthless mages rallied around one of their own. Through spells, foreign medicines, and more supplies than she could ever hope to reply, Chokho would live. She would never have the strength of her peers and could rarely muster the energy to leave her home, but she would live.

:Her life was painful, but not without joy. While the majority of the clan could spare little time from their tasks, Chokho had the regular company of two other members who were deemed equally non-vital: her brother Xau'to and her father Hawu'a. Xau'to, a scoundrel by trade, was a frequent source of company and always had a trick up his sleeve or a story to tell to keep the sick child company. Any childhood Chokho has she owes to her sibling's affection. While her father often took to the road for the sake of the clan, he was never the less a pillar of stability for a life teetering so close to death. One of the most influential gestures he ever did was paint Chokho's face in the stripes she still wears today. Reminiscent of a tiger native to their home, Hawu'a was quick to remind Chokho how strong tigers are and how much she is like them.

:While Chokho did not contribute to her tribe as much as the others, her sisters found her at least bearable. It certainly helped that for what she lacked in body she made up for in mind. With little to do outside her brother's company, Chokho sharpened her mind with whatever books her father brought home. Her insatiable appetite for knowledge was mostly a squandered gift on the amazonian family, but her stories and legends made her entertaining enough to not be considered a complete burden.

[[File:chochibbi.jpg|155px|thumb|right|"Someone once tried to tell me you can't be cute, AND sexy... GUESS I SHOWED HIM!"]]
=====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">1562 - 1572</div>=====

:And then life came bursting forth with fire and fury.

:Overnight, and completely without explanation, Chokho was cured. Her bones roared with strength for the first time, her skin went from its pale grey to a rich dark, and air rushed to fill her lungs without struggle. Although she was no stronger than any other miqo'te in her family: she felt invincible. She was eager to contribute to the family in a more meaningful way - if nothing else to show her father what a strong tiger she had become.

:Of course, the mysterious fix had a mysterious drawback. Chokho began to experience episodes of aetheric flux. Without warning she began to spit fire, crush rock underneath her feet, or scorch everyone around her. The raw power behind these elemental possessions dwarfed the power of the clan's thaumaturges. It became quickly apparent that Chokho was a threat to everything and everyone around her.

:Ever understanding, her family (mother) sought answers before it sought blood. Tensions ran rampant and Chokho once again fell into introverted isolation - this time for the safety of others more than herself. Not only did each outburst threaten those immediately around her, but it threatened to attract the smothering attention of the ever-present Garlean Empire. As the family's search found no answers, it was Chokho's mother that made the grim decision.

:For her own safety and that of the tribe, Chokho would have to leave the tribe. The decision pleased no one. Unwilling to abandon her daughter completely, Chokho's mother assigned her two guardians: Xau'to and Hawu'a -- her brother and father. The two were tasked with keeping Chokho safe as they traveled. With a heavy heart and teary eyes, the trio left their home and began their adventure.

:The trio scoured the land to better understand Chokho's condition, but never found a suitable answer. Her condition seemed entirely unique. While they found no answers on its cause, they did find a way to control it. Through meditation, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mudra mudra], and discipline, Chokho was able to control her outbursts. She quickly learned that while wild emotion was not the cause of these outbursts, it served as a catalyst. As long as she remained in control, she was less likely to harm those around her.

:This monk-like approach to controlling herself made Chokho very receptive to the teachings of the world as she wandered. She developed a deeply philosophical world view during her travels. Conversation and literature sharpened Chokho's mind, and her tribe's ninja techniques and skills - passed on through her brother - toned her body. Chokho practiced a great many arts while traveling the land, but she preferred none of them as much as she did subtlety.

:For many years, the band traveled far and wide. There was never a point where they found themselves particularly well off, and had to often made use of their tribes' techniques for petty acts of thievery simply to survive. Still, they were well intentioned and always happy to be together. It was far from perfect, but it was a nice life. Of course, it all fell to pieces when [http://finalfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/The_Twelve#Menphina.2C_the_Lover Menphina's bastard hound] came crashing down.

[[File:Calamityc.jpg|325px|thumb|left|A day she refuses to talk about]]
=====<div style="padding:0px 30px; font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">0 - 5</div>=====

:When Bahamut's rampage was done, Chokho was the only one left standing.

:Chokho has been tight lipped about what exactly she experienced during the calamity. The specifics are not as important as the end results: she was alone, nothing to her name, and no closer to understanding the power within that started her journey.

:Without family, guidance, or direction, Chokho adopted a very nihilistic view of the world. Paired with a carefree attitude that had been adopted from her brother, it did not take long for Chokho's live to revolve around a self-obsessed hedonism. She drifted from town to town, seeking what pleasures she could from local vices and people, only to discard them both when they became cumbersome.

:An excessive amount of time was spent in Limsa Lominsa, where her views fit well with the local pirates and mercenaries. Although she was reluctant to fight - and indeed took on the guise of a helpless damsel - she was more than willing to make a few connections. Without her families supervision, Chokho knew that she could easily fall into trouble at Garlean hands. So she surrounded herself with troublemakers and ne'er-do-wells, and began to build a network of underground contacts.

:For five years, Chokho drifted on well placed lies and false smiles, without any true goal in sight. It kept her safe, and that made her happy. She had no semblance of purpose, and she didn't want any. If everything was to die, she would do so laughing.

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

:Over the last few months, Chokho has slowly shed her nihilistic shell. Due in no small part to a few friendly souls, she recovered her faith in the world. No longer believing that nothing mattered and the only thing to do was to be happy: she has instead decided nothing matters EXCEPT being happy.

:She has developed a complicated but structured philosophy of happiness, in which she tries to enable other people so that they may feel joy like she did during her hedonistic days.

:Chokho still defaults to subtly and subterfuge in day-to-day life, but only because it's a skill that should be practiced. She uses her philosophy and her training for entirely altruistic means... even if she doesn't make it publicly known.

===<div style="padding:10px 15px; background: #BEC3BC;font-size:14px;color:#5F5F5F;">Recent History</div>===
[[File:8bit_Chokho.png|200px|right|frame|Humble beginnings]]
:With the recent razing of Doma, Chokho has been distraught with thoughts of home. She has no idea how the other nations of Othard are doing, and fears for the worst. With no reasonable way back and no good way to influence the area, she has dedicated a lot of time to helping the refugees coming in from across the sea.

:In secret, she has been talking to other ninja about whether or not they should spread their art to Eorzea. While Chokho is worried that this will attract unwanted attention from the Garlean Empire, she also knows that without a homeland - Doma's culture is in great danger and may soon die out. She is preparing to reveal her talents and take a much more violent vigil over Othard's refugees.

<table style="position:center;" width="100%">

While Chokho's IC musical influence mainly consists of sea shanties and drinking song, the OOC hand behind it all is a HUGE music fan. Here's a few things I use to help me into the mindset of my own character.

: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CtMXnr293zU This Will be the Day] - Often seen as meek and helpless, Chokho is always just waiting for the moment to spring. It helps that she genuinely wants to be hero, too.

: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVXL7YxRyxI Jago's Theme] - On top of being from another tiger-themed character, this just fits combat too well. Even violence is controlled. It is meditative. It teaches.

: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-J-Py3u96A I Burn] - Chokho is rarely cocky enough to speak like this out loud, but being one step above the competition generally suits her. It helps that fire is a theme within her story.

: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnzgdBAKyJo You Know my Name] - "If you think you've won, you never saw me change the game that we have been playing."

: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCt5IOJSwh8 Catwoman Theme] - As much as I appreciate rock, there is a gentleness to the character that can only done justice with strings for steps.

: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2CoHkpCYvOk Honor and Pride] - There is no possible deeper meaning to this. It just keeps me in an aware state of mind for Chokho almost constantly. Even when she's angry or sad - there is an underlying serenity.

: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8kP0CElJA8 Young and Naive] - Pretty much Chokho's entire love life summed up in a single song.

}}<font size="3">''A gentle woman oft appearing distracted, though her eyes would tell otherwise.''</font>

Lyuri grew up in a happy and seemingly carefree environment, simply tagging along with her parents as they traveled the world of Eorzea. Abruptly orphaned at the age of 17, she wandered aimlessly with her best friend for a few weeks until the Calamity struck, at which point she simply dropped off the face of Eorzea until only about a year ago. Resurfacing in each of the three great city-states, Lyuri appeared to be alive and well, even recruiting to a cause.

Nowadays Lyuri heads the Eclipsis Free Company, which acts similar to an independent and more finely tuned adventurer's guild. On the surface it appears to be a regular place to hire workers from for different jobs. However, anyone with an onze of sense knows how it's nigh impossible to make it anywhere in Ul'dah without getting your hands somewhat dirty.

<font style="color:#008080;" size="2">'''★'''Information here may seem limited. This is intentional. Lyuri does not freely share intimate details about her life or history with people. Certain information and personal relationship information is ambiguous because it is not publicly discussed. Anything listed here is strictly OOC knowledge unless Lyuri has discussed it with your character in some manner.</font>

===<div style="padding-left:5px;padding-top:4px;height:30px;background:#3D9140; font-size:30px; color:#FFFFFF">Appearance</div>===

Lyuri stands slightly above the average height for a Midlander female. Her ocean blue hair carries light tones of green and is pulled back into a ponytail, while her bangs are pulled to the side and often obscure her right eye from view. She's found that this hairstyle generally leads to far less uncomfortable questions about her odd eyes. When she doesn't appear to be staring off into the distance, her expression is most often calm and reserved save for her eyes, which shift to catch every detail they can. One could easily describe Lyuri's outfits of choice as 'conservative'.

Lyuri often has a difficult time if she attempts to appear intimidating due to her merely average stature. Over the years, though, she's discovered that a smile can have just as much potential as a brandished weapon.

===<div style="padding-left:5px;padding-top:7px;height:30px;background:#3D9140; font-size:30px; color:#FFFFFF">Behavior and Personality</div>===

When it comes down to business, Lyuri could best be described as softspoken yet unyielding. She will often try to spin deals and situations in a way that leaves the other participant(s) happy while still getting what she wants. Among good company, though, she swifty reveals a more playful nature involving cracking jokes and witty verbal jabs; when appropriate, of course.

With more personal matters such as those of the heart, Lyuri is still rather naive and finds herself easily flustered. As time goes by she's grown slightly more accustomed to these kinds of topics, but they do still leave her feeling at least slightly uncomfortable.

Recently, the stress that comes with her position has weighed rather visibly on Lyuri. As a result, her general demeanor has become more tense, and she's allowed her frustration and anger to get the better of her a few times. Each time she snaps at someone, she curses the turmoil in her life which she attributes the outbursts to.

===<div style="padding-left:5px;padding-top:7px;height:26px;background:#3D9140; font-size:30px; color:#FFFFFF">Combat</div>===

Lyuri has always had an abnormally high amount of latent aether within her body, but the sheer amount makes it rather difficult to control. Early attempts to cast magic oft resulted in wounds, which were not always limited to herself. Due to these traumatic experiences, Lyuri chose to forsake more traditional magic use out of fear of hurting others unintentionally.

In her teenage years, she took up the sword under the tutelage of her father. Since the calamity passed, Lyuri has been known to seek out non-violent solutions to problems, though she understands that the world won't always work in her favor. As such, she keeps up her practice with the blade, albeit much less nowadays than before.

Lyuri's weapons of choice are two half swords, appearing as though a single blade were cut down the middle length-wise. Both blades are slightly shorter than your average longsword, and the absence of a back to each blade creates an elongated hole when the two are brought together. While they can function individually, the nature of their design makes them rather brittle.

While the strange design of her dual blades seems rather impractical, Lyuri works around this by channeling aether into the weapons as though they were foci. Doing so effectively seals the blades into a single sword, albeit temporarioly. With enough concentration, Lyuri can even give the aether, and thus the sword, elemental properties. However, she's only succeeded thus far at maintaining an ice element. Despite her aetheric reserves, these techniques can be extremely taxing so she will attempt to avoid prolonged battles.

===<div style="padding-left:5px;padding-top:8px;height:30px;background:#3D9140; font-size:30px; color:#FFFFFF">Occupation, Skills, and Pastimes</div>===

Lyuri actively leads the free company Eclipsis, a job which takes up most of her time. She handles a majority of the company's busywork, business negotiations, and contract approvals. As such, she rarely, if ever, participates in the fulfillment of contracts herself.

=== Family ===

It is rather rare for Lyuri to bring up her family as their mention alone causes a pained look upon her face. When asked about them by others, she will often act evasive, only truly discussing them with those she's come to trust.

'''<u>Father</u>:''' Godfrey Loneslayer (Highlander) - A man known for his calm ferocity. His softspoken words and gentle demeanor conflicted greatly with the ruthlessness he showed in combat. His friends would make jokes about how the only weapon to ever pierce his steel will was the smile of a certain Lyndis Felnica. As they traveled, Lyuri almost never saw her father without his sword and shield. Presumed to have died alongside Lyndis.

'''<u>Mother</u>:''' Lyndis Felnica (Midlander) - Her smile more infectious than any plague, Lyndis practically epitomized the phrase "happy-go-lucky". She was ever kind to others, preferring to tend to others' wounds rather than join the fray herself. Lyndis perished about six months before the calamity. Lyuri's fondest memories of her are when she would tell fantastical stories before bedtime.

'''<u>Best Friend</u>:''' Jayce Bellveil (Midlander) - A boy of Lyuri's age, Jayce ran away from his home (at least, that was the story he gave). After a year or two of life as a street rat, he met Lyuri and the two became fast friends, Thanks to Lyuri's incessant begging, Godfrey and Lyndis eventually gave in and semi-adopted the boy into their family. In reality, he was just one more person tagging along on all their travels.

<td style="width:50%";><font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font>'''[[Laeka Torei]]''': She does what she wants without really caring about what others think. Part of Lyuri admires the woman, but her admiration is marred by her frustrations at Laeka's long absences. </td>

<td style="width:50%;"><font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font>'''[[Chokho Viqqoh]]''' : Still a bit of a mystery, Lyuri fails to understand just what drives this woman.

Something about that carefree attitude speaks to her. </td>

However, what was once a friend openness between them has dwindled to more of a guarded and awkward cautiousness. While Lyuri still considers her a friend, she can't be sure the Highlander woman does the same. </td>

<td style="width=50%;"><font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font>'''[[Skratti Bowens]]''' : Being rather new to Eclipsis means little with Skratti as she's already proven herself to be smart, resourceful, and an invaluable asset.

<td style="width:50%";><font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font>'''[[Roswyn Valhuri]]''' : - The pink-haired Miqo'te woman honestly reminds Lyuri of herself at times, and it frustrates her to no end. Regardless, Lyuri knows that Roswyn's resources and contacts make her far more desirable as an ally, even if she can be rather unpredictable at times. She thinks of Roswyn as a friend, but deigns to tread carefully around her when possible.</td>

<td style="width:50%";><font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font>'''[[Orpheus Arkouda]]''' : - Lyuri knows very little about this man apart from the fact that he always seems to be by Roswyn's side.

</tr>
<tr>

<td style="width:50%";><font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font>'''[[Nazeru Auronas]]''' : - Though rough around the edges, Lyuri can't help but admire Nazeri. She realizes that if it wasn't for meeting this woman, she would hardly be the person she is today. Quite often Lyuri finds herself reprimanding Naz one minute and laughing with her the next. All she can really say is that she's very glad they're on speaking terms again. </td>

<td style="width:50%";><font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font>'''[[Jessla Naskall]]''' : - She doesn't agree with everything Jess gets herself into, but the boastful pirate is no doubt a valuable business partner. Jessla's recent abcense has given Lyuri much cause to worry. </td>

<td style="width:50%;"><font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font>'''[[Nesi Greene]]''': This woman's calm demeanor and efficient industriousness quickly earned Lyuri's attention. Promoted to an officer rank within Eclipsis, Lyuri knows she can trust Nesi to help keep everything running. Even nowadays, the woman still seems to always be busy with one thing or another. </td>

<td style="width:50%;"><font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font>'''[[Argust Clow]]''': While thaumaturgy tends to give her the creeps, something about Argust manages to assuage this inherent fear.

=== Moderate Rumors ===

::*Seeing her fight is a treat. Much rather observe than partake, though.
::*That company of her's seems fine enough, but they don't really try and make much of a name for themselves. Wonder why that is?

=== Rare Rumors ===

::*I've heard she meets with pirates and similar ilk on the regular.
::*You know, she reminds me of some ghastly being I saw not long after the calamity. Half-dead and clothers torn to shred, it looked like, but it fled for its life as soon as I drew near.

=== Player Character Rumors<br/> ===

::*Ennara Calian - It's very rare that someone impresses me to this extent with how much they care for others, so don't you dare hurt her.
::*[[Chokho Viqqoh]] - Oh yeah, she's SUPER polite and reserved. NO hidden intentions there. Nope. Not one. Most meek person ever. Absolutely.

Lyuri actively leads the free company Eclipsis, a job which takes up most of her time. She handles a majority of the company's busywork, business negotiations, and contract approvals. As such, she rarely, if ever, participates in the fulfillment of contracts herself.

=== Family ===

It is rather rare for Lyuri to bring up her family as their mention alone causes a pained look upon her face. When asked about them by others, she will often act evasive, only truly discussing them with those she's come to trust.

'''<u>Father</u>:''' Godfrey Loneslayer (Highlander) - A man known for his calm ferocity. His softspoken words and gentle demeanor conflicted greatly with the ruthlessness he showed in combat. His friends would make jokes about how the only weapon to ever pierce his steel will was the smile of a certain Lyndis Felnica. As they traveled, Lyuri almost never saw her father without his sword and shield. Presumed to have died alongside Lyndis.

'''<u>Mother</u>:''' Lyndis Felnica (Midlander) - Her smile more infectious than any plague, Lyndis practically epitomized the phrase "happy-go-lucky". She was ever kind to others, preferring to tend to others' wounds rather than join the fray herself. Lyndis perished about six months before the calamity. Lyuri's fondest memories of her are when she would tell fantastical stories before bedtime.

'''<u>Best Friend</u>:''' Jayce Bellveil (Midlander) - A boy of Lyuri's age, Jayce ran away from his home (at least, that was the story he gave). After a year or two of life as a street rat, he met Lyuri and the two became fast friends, Thanks to Lyuri's incessant begging, Godfrey and Lyndis eventually gave in and semi-adopted the boy into their family. In reality, he was just one more person tagging along on all their travels.

<table border="0" style="margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;table-layout:fixed;width:80%;" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="1">
<tr>

<td style="width:50%";><font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font>'''[[Laeka Torei]]''': She does what she wants without really caring about what others think. Part of Lyuri admires the woman, but her admiration is marred by her frustrations at Laeka's long absences. </td>

<td style="width:50%;"><font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font>'''[[Chokho Viqqoh]]''' : Still a bit of a mystery, Lyuri fails to understand just what drives this woman. What she does know is that Cho's humor often leaves much to be desired, though she can't quite bring herself to grow truly frustrated with her. Something about that carefree attitude speaks to her. </td>
</tr>
<tr>

<td style="width:50%;"><font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font>'''[[Ennara Calian]]''' : There was a time when Lyuri and Ennara appeared to be near inseparable. However, what was once a friend openness between them has dwindled to more of a guarded and awkward cautiousness. While Lyuri still considers her a friend, she can't be sure the Highlander woman does the same. </td>

<td style="width=50%;"><font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font>'''[[Skratti Bowens]]''' : Being rather new to Eclipsis means little with Skratti as she's already proven herself to be smart, resourceful, and an invaluable asset. Lyuri holds her doubts as to the woman's true skills and how she comes across the information she does, but at this point it seems far wiser to not look a gift chocobo in the beak. </td>
</tr>
<tr>

<td style="width:50%";><font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font>'''[[Roswyn Valhuri]]''' : - The pink-haired Miqo'te woman honestly reminds Lyuri of herself at times, and it frustrates her to no end. Regardless, Lyuri knows that Roswyn's resources and contacts make her far more desirable as an ally, even if she can be rather unpredictable at times. She thinks of Roswyn as a friend, but deigns to tread carefully around her when possible.</td>

<td style="width:50%";><font style="color:#8f8377;" size="3">●</font>'''[[Orpheus Arkouda]]''' : - Lyuri knows very little about this man apart from the fact that he always seems to be by Roswyn's side. After observing his actions as both a ruthless fighter and a devout guardian, she cannot deny that she holds nothing but respect for the man. </td>
</tr>
<tr>

<td style="width:50%";><font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font>'''[[Nazeru Auronas]]''' : - Though rough around the edges, Lyuri can't help but admire Nazeri. She realizes that if it wasn't for meeting this woman, she would hardly be the person she is today. Quite often Lyuri finds herself reprimanding Naz one minute and laughing with her the next. All she can really say is that she's very glad they're on speaking terms again. </td>

<td style="width:50%";><font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font>'''[[Jessla Naskall]]''' : - She doesn't agree with everything Jess gets herself into, but the boastful pirate is no doubt a valuable business partner. Jessla's recent abcense has given Lyuri much cause to worry. </td>

</tr>

<tr>

<td style="width:50%;"><font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font>'''[[Nesi Greene]]''': This woman's calm demeanor and efficient industriousness quickly earned Lyuri's attention. Promoted to an officer rank within Eclipsis, Lyuri knows she can trust Nesi to help keep everything running. Even nowadays, the woman still seems to always be busy with one thing or another. </td>

<td style="width:50%;"><font style="color:#4e9362;" size="3">●</font>'''[[Argust Clow]]''': While thaumaturgy tends to give her the creeps, something about Argust manages to assuage this inherent fear. Despite his apparent antisocial tendencies, Lyuri has known him to be both skilled and reliable. He is certainly someone she can trust when it comes to company matters. </td>

=== Common Rumors ===

::*Have ye seen tha' eye o' her's? It ain't natural, I tell ye.
::*Sometimes she looks like she's just standing around, staring off into the distance. I don't know what's distracting her, nor do I want to.
::*I've seen a Roegadyn thrice her size wilt like a guity pup after arguing with her.

=== Moderate Rumors ===

::*Seeing her fight is a treat. Much rather observe than partake, though.
::*That company of her's seems fine enough, but they don't really try and make much of a name for themselves. Wonder why that is?

=== Rare Rumors ===

::*I've heard she meets with pirates and similar ilk on the regular.
::*You know, she reminds me of some ghastly being I saw not long after the calamity. Half-dead and clothers torn to shred, it looked like, but it fled for its life as soon as I drew near.

=== Player Character Rumors<br/> ===

::*Ennara Calian - It's very rare that someone impresses me to this extent with how much they care for others, so don't you dare hurt her.
::*[[Chokho Viqqoh]] - "Oh yeah, she's SUPER polite and reserved. NO hidden mannerisms there. Nope. Not one. Most meek person every. Absolutely.... Pffaha-..."

::*Feel free to add if you know of her!
