"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, but most of the time she engages with strangers fairly quickly, often being the first to greet them and lead into conversation. Those who speak to her quickly discover Final as loyal, honest and full of stories of home and her work. (WIP))

Appearance

Hair/Fur: Dark chocolate with bleach blonde highlights
Skin: Pale Peach
Eyes: Forest green
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 dark chocolate hair with bleach blonde tips, complimenting her pleasant forest green 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.

Personality

Final Hour is generally a good hearted person who has many optimistic words to offer anyone around her, be it a friend or stranger. She will go out of her way to offer her thoughts to many individuals whom impress her morally.

Final isn't without her darker side of her kind nature, to which it is rarely seen by many people. She fully embraced forgiveness among the residents of Gridania, however some brutal choice of words - or actions - can reawaken Final's bottled-up agression, which is fuelled from being bullied consistently until the end of her teenage years. She can blast into a fit of rage and end up fighting against anyone who takes her on, no matter what gender, creed or race they are.

• Miscellaneous quirks

1. Final carries a small, dirty tome thats full of information on natural items she can find throughout the land such as plants, flowers, seeds etc. She reads it everyday without fail.
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. The name of the medicine is Sagolii Oil.
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.

Combat

Final's preferred weapon of choice, should she choose to fight, is an axe. ((WIP))

Biography

WIP

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

As of moving to Limsa to start her work professionally as a freelancing Botanist, Final found herself journeying to various locations in Eorzea, both dangerous ones and safe ones too. She managed to sustain a life from taking on harvesting jobs for local merchants and traders, but she made a name for herself -albeit not a one that invokes fame - at the farms in Lower La Noscea. She helped grow many crops for the residents of Limsa Lominsa and earned her keep of a portion on the farm for her own cultivating needs.

Final sat at the bar in the Quicksand during the time a female dunesfolk lalafell had stumbled into a pillar and some barrels closeby. After witnessing a young hyur woman offering aid to the blind lalafell, Final felt composed to compliment her will to help. In return, the good lady called Lucerna thanked Final and quickly became friends.

Some time after, Final returned to the Quicksand for a quick drink after finishing her duty and bumped into Lucerna once more. They talked and Lucerna offered Final a chance to come with her and her guild mates to Centeral Coerthas for a camping trip. Not one to refuse such an offer involving that of nature, Final accepted and followed her new friend all the way back to the Lavender Beds, where she met the guild leader of the Wandering Bloom, Zasha and her bodyguard, Farrson.

The four travelled to the small town of Dragonhead in Coerthas, where they purchased hot drinks and sat by the fire. They each told a spooky story to each other in the cold, laughing, questioning and shivering in the tale-telling delight. Eventually, the party wore out the grim atmosphere and resumed their daily grind, with Final returning to work in Gridania on her own.

((Biographies will be written as more RPs happen in-game :) ))

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.

♦ Hrodrich Maetimhus - Final delivered a package addressed to the Blades headquarters, where Hrodrich was present at the time. Though the package was meant for Omani, Hrodrich took the parcel for her and invited Final for a drink in the company's bar.

♦ Mathis Vael - During a tavern opening in the Goblet, Final drunkenly greets Mathis while he visited. Since that moment, she has quickly become unexpected friends with the alluring Highlander, sometimes blushing at the sight of him (out of embarassment and being swooned).

Neutral Standing

● Themeoux Svendare [Fictional NPC] - Final's deluded boss, who is also the head of the Twin Adders' gathering squad. He and Final are consistently in disagreement over money, work hours and task difficulty. Final has no option to deny Themeoux however, as he pays her handsomely for the work he sets her. SIDE NOTE: He ias absolutely mental, mistaking chocobos as cactuars and calling himself the Pope of Peppers.

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.
