WORK IN PROGRESS, DEFINITELY NOT FINSIHED YET

"I wish I had a quote like the cool guys do." - Final Hour.

Final Hour is a comedic and bright young girl who enjoys time with friends, yet she much prefers to be in solitude and think to herself. She sometimes finds it difficult to socialize with a lot of people in the world of Eorzea. However, when she does muster the courage to interact, she quickly reveals herself to be loyal, honest and full of stories of home and her work. (WIP))

Timeline

Spoiler notice: The following contains spoiler information. Proceed at your own risk.

• Childhood

Final Hour was a very happy child, raised by two loving parents in the heart of Gridania.

Her father - who lived in Gridania all of his life - was simply known as Nodem, a highly skilled Carpenter. It was a trade he had always taken pride in since his early teens. He was the funny, witty and charismatic man of the family, unlike Final's mother who was quiet, no-nonsense and serious. Flaming Amber was her name, the Roegadyn Hellsguard whom was well versed in Arcana. Despite the major difference between the two parents - in personality and races - they adored each other and their only child.

Though Amber previously lived in Limsa Lominsa, the she migrated and currently resides with Nodem in the walls of Gridania understandably. However, they had to hide away their public displays of affection from the community due to Gridania's xenophobic culture, with Amber having to adopt the title of 'good friend' than mother. They struggled through public judgement to support and raise Final as happily as possible.

Final spent the first several years of her life surrounded by the masses of Elezen and Hyurs, learning their habits. Her happiness with her parents never faltered, but her first glimpse of feeling something other than that usually came through trying to play with the local children; it proved to be difficult due to her unusual strength at her young age, often accidentally hurting them or causing inconvenience in chase games. Often Final would be quickly outcast, save for the few moments where she would be called by them to get something they cannot aquire themselves.

By the time Final approached her teenage years, it became clear what her parents had hoped she would achieve in the future. Her father wished for her to take on his carpenting legacy, while her mother wanted her to be sent to Limsa, to harness the ever-shifting power of the Arcana. These two aspirations were tried against Final, though neither trade had really been embraced. However, Final had a natural talent for listening to the aetheral energy of Eorzea, and she also had a keen eye for detail while she studied her dad's work. This left the poor girl perplexed and frustrated on what path she should walk, afraid to disappoint either parent. Along with her hormones raging while she was growing up, this lead her to becoming unreasonable and eventually rebelling against both her father and her mother.

To make matters worse, the word of the community spread of Final's parents being of two races. While adults would judge upon Amber and Nodem's relationship, Final took on disgusted looks by other teenagers in the Black Shroud. Teased for not being pure, the girl refused to socialise and became an angry person, acting volitile to any who mocked her or her family. Some moments caused her to draw a sharp weapon against certain individuals, though it would not be long before guards would disarm her straight away.

• The Gift

Final stormed out of Gridania once after a heated argument with her mother and she broke down by a riverbank in Bentbranch. While she was there, she was greeted by a short, conerned woman with an axe and overalls. Defensive, Final shrugged off the woman's concern, however the stranger remained by her side. Final eventually calmed down and opened up the the lady, who revealed herself to be Fufucha, the overseer of the Botanist Guild. (WIP)

Appearance

Hair/Fur: Changes between fiery giner and deep red
Skin: Pale Peach
Eyes: Amber
Height: 5.5"
Weight: 10 (PONZ)
Build: Slightly toned

Unsurprisingly, Final is fairly tall. However, for a Hyur and Roegadyn mix, she is far taller than the average Hyur midlander. Up close, Final possesses subtle features that make distinguishable as a mixed race, such as the natural deep red hair (though sometimes she dyes it a fiery orange), complimenting her unique amber eyes and her pale skin. If one were to look at her arms for long enough, there would be evidence of physique. Her muscular frame is toned, enabling her to flex for fun, although she does not consider herself 'a strong woman'.

A note on Final's Hellsguard features, carried over geneticly from her mother; includes the black nose, recognisable among many as a common Hellsguard feature. However, it is not present on Final's face, it is instead somewhere on her mid back acting as a mole/wart.

Without fail, the lady is always seen in her botany attire, as she understands she will be called to work at any given time. This attire usually consists of Carbonweave shirt, smothered with pouches and bags. She also wears Carbonweave pants, with Serpentskin Fringe boots and topped with a bandana covering her nose and mouth for protection from dust and pollen. Most if not all of the clothing is dyed a dark red colour, as it is Final's personal favourite colour of choice. She also has two other botany outfits that are revelent to certain climates. Final has a 'hot', 'cold' and 'storm' version of her work clothes that allow her to work in all manner of weather conditions.

• Hot

- The hot version of her botany clothing consists of two major changes to the shirt, pants and shoes. They are instead replaced with a Moonfaire top and shorts, with Moonfaire sandals to finish. The shorts carry extra bags for gathering, substituting for the pouches normally used on her Carbonweave shirt.

• Cold

- The cold version of Final's botany clothing is very much an entire wardrobe replacement. If in cold area such as Ishgard, she dons the Highland outfit to garentee warmth and protection from the harsh Coerthas blizzards.

• Storm

- The storm version of the botany clothing is the additional cloak draped over the original Carbonweave set. This protects Final from the damp and cold showers of common storms in Ul'dah and Gridania.

Casual Clothing

When Final can enjoy a day off or two, she chooses to dress in whatever is the most comfortable thing to wear ever (so long as it was socially appropriate). It can range from plain shirts to expensive dresses, depending on Final's mood at the time.

2. Final has a scarily accurate aim when tipsy and can hit targets dead on.
3. Due to being a mixed race, she harbours the muscles of a Roegadyn in the body of a Huyr. It causes her to suffer muscular complications and consistent join pain. She regularly has to take a perscribed potion issued by the Alchemist Guild to dismorph the muscles and shape correctly within her.
4. Final likes to make sure everything is organised by order of size, colour, alphabet, number, etc.
5. Final rubs the back of her neck if she is nervous, uncomfortable or embarrassed.

Good Standing

♦ Fufucha [NPC] - Fufucha found Final as a teenager being troubled by the riverside of Bentbranch and offered her work at the Botanist Guild, acting as her mentor in the art of gathering. Orginally, Final accepted the job as a method of relaxing from her daily struggle, then it became a profession that she was fully committed to up into the present day. Fufucha remains an idol to Final.

♦ Omani Thatch - While heading out for fieldwork in Ul'dah, Final accidentally bumped into Omani and apologised to no end for doing so. Omani eventually calmed Final and the two are on friendly terms whenever they pass by each other in Eorzea.

Player Notes

Hey there :D thanks for reading through the wiki about my charcter! The information about my character will change often so please note that there may be more/less or altered information the next time you read through this page again. I'll tell you a little bit about myself IRL. I normally go by the online alias of Dark or Dex (With Dark being my name for many online things and Dex being my FFXIV name among friends, though I'll be more known by the latter.). I'm said to be friendly, kind and fun and I love making new friends and playing FFXIV for both roleplay and in-game content. My schedule is slightly weird, due to the fact I'm from the EU and Balmung hosts more NA players, so I may not be available on peak times as it would be when I normally sleep. However I do tend to stay up late to play the game on days that I do not have university. That being said, I always try to make time for RP and I do admittedly have a hard time with doing walkups, so if you ever see my character and fancy RPing, please don't be shy and send me a tell or walk up on me.

How I RP

There is a couple of pointers that I would like to mention from an OOC point of view in regards to how I RP and what you can expect of me.

First of all, I am someone who likes to keep RP and OOC circumstances seperate. This means that whatever happens in an RP stays in RP and anything that is OOC is an entirely different matter. If my character has a problem with your character, it doesn't mean I have a problem with you IRL. This is also the same for my character liking yours, it may not mean I also like you (though 97% of the time it turns out I do like you :) ). However, if my character displays any romantic feelings for your character, this certainly does not mean that I do too. As I have mentioned before, what happens in RP stays in RP. Further information on this topic will be on the RP Limits section.

Secondly, if you are not happy with any aspect of our RP, please don't be afraid to send me a tell and I will try to make the RP more comfortable for you as mucha as I can without shifting the plot so much that it's either one sided (if it is situational RP) or the plot doesn't make sense anymore. Saying this however, this doesn't give you the opportunity to godmod/meta plots into your character's favour. If you do that, then there will be a good chance that I will not RP with you in future.

RP Limits

There are some limitations a to what kind of RP I am willing to get involved with.

What I am willing to RP:

Mature Content (such as violence, minor or fatal injuries, drugs, alcohol, sexuality, etc.)

Dark Content (such as hostage situations, torture, terrorism, suicide, murder, war, etc.)

Family Friendly Content (basically, nothing of the above.)

What I am not willing to RP:

ERP

Rape scenario in RP

Relationship only RP

I always have a 'No ERP' tag in my search info, but in any case that I do not have this tag, these rules still apply!

FINAL NOTES

I am a roleplayer who abides by the rules of fair and fun roleplay for all. I DO NOT tolerate those who GODMOD or METAGAME an RP situation for any reason. If this happens in our RP, then I WILL send you a tell addressing this problem. If this happens more than once, then I WILL NOT engage RP with you AT ALL.

If at any point I feel uncomfortable with our RP, I have the right to withdraw from it and/or take action to refrain contact if the discomfort breaches into OOC matters.

Take this into consideration!

Footnotes

This page uses the Easily Read Template, created by Khita Atropah and inspired by Bancroft Gairn. I have copied the coding on some titles to create new headings suited for my OOC development on my character. DO NOT USE MY ALTERATION OF THE TEMPLATE! My version of the template has been the result of several hours figuring out what text to copy/paste and what format I can use to present my wiki page better. If you want to use the templete I have now, then please use the original template layout by Khita Atropah.
