Type # (if any) Chaotic Good. General Information Bhaldgeim Hyrthimalwyn, better known by others as Dex Cogstride is a determined lady who enjoys life in the clouds. The once sea-loving Roegadyn turned experienced Sky Pirate works in solitude, counting on herself to complete what she sets herself every day; to take from the rich and give to herself in the name of science. Dex handy with technology and often builds new flying ships and guns out of boredom, though the one she prides on the most is her custom made revolver-automatic named Eden. Dex is nicknamed 'The Legless Sparrow' and at least a dozen tales are told of how the Roegadyn came to lose her legs, all of which are unproven to be true. ❝ Quote. I ain't one to judge, but if ye treat me like shit, then ye can bet ye bottom gil I'll make ye regret it.❞ Appearance Eyes Hair Skin Build Voice Amber Dark red/White highlights Pale green Muscular Low, but well controlled Bearing Laterality Scars Markings Style Dominant Right-handed Abdomen/Arms/Back Patterned eyes Flamboyant Hair & Eyes Dex's hair is mainly straight with a slight flick at the ends, feathered from her chin to her breasts. Physique & Markings Dex is very muscular due to her regular workouts and activity. She has scars over the abdomen, arms and back are easily visible when clothing is not covering them. Hygiene & Attire Very clean and well groomed for a Pirate who adventures in the skies often. Personality Psychological Profile . Voice Her body language is expressive, as is her tongue. She swears and can sometimes cause offence to others when she speaks too freely. However, she feels that she and everyone else is able to speak freely, as freedom is deemed the most important thing in her eyes. Philosophy & Mannerisms Dex is loud and a brutally honest individual, which can make first impressions either bad or strange. On the other hand, if she encounters the likes of good-natured pirates, misunderstood outlaws or fellow sky pirates, then her impression becomes more consiterate and respectable. Despite this complex shift between attitudes, she is hardly a woman that stands back and watches things unfold without her hand in it, and if she can make a situation end the best it can, then she will. Dex have no qualms over helping others out when they need it, however, Dex can be picky and unpredictable about who she helps and why. This also makes Dex act on a few questionable decisions in exchange for earning a few coin to fund her personal interest in her technological research. She's an honourable woman, and believes that everyone has her respect until there is reason to break it. Once it is broken, Dex will make sure life gets difficult for the opposition. If the respect is kept, then Dex will be loyal like a dog to its master, without actually being a dog of course; she isn't a pushover and makes sure people know it.

History  ??? Disclaimer: The history of Dex is still underconstruction and may change overtime. Sixth Astral Era Childhood Dex's childhood is something that she doesn't often speak of. Not due to the mistrust of others, but by the simple fact that she just can't remember a damn thing about it. That being said, it is more than likely that Dex had lived a good life with her family on the ports of Limsa Lominsa, keeping her nose out of trouble and living as Bhaldgeim Hyrthimalwyn (Brave Jewel, Daughter of the Autumn Sky). Her love for travelling on ships with her grandfather sparked her aspiration to become her very own captain of the ship at the age of 7, to which one thing lead to another and she ended up becoming one of the Maelstrom's successful navigators by time she hit 18 summers old.. Seventh Umbral Era Adulthood After a few years, Bhaldgeim grew bored of being told where to dock the ships and how to turn starboard at whatever degree and she quit her job to move onto living in the colder regions of Coerthas after hearing rumours of 'bandits living in the sky' and pillaging the less fortunate. This lead to the Roegadyn to take up arms and fight against these so-called bandits, only to be robbed of her goods herself. Despite the terror she witnessed, Bhaldgeim couldn't help but feel at home in the skies of Dravania. Not only did she want to prove her worth in the new environment, she also wanted her stuff back from the bandits and vowed to return again one day. Defeated and without a coin to spare, Bhaldgeim regressed to living in the Brume with the poorest Elezen lowborns. On the verge of starving, she began to beg across the Foundation for food. She accidentally came across a man with a gun making his way back to the Skysteel Manufactory, which piqued Bhaldgeim's interest. Looking through the cracks of the entrance doors and peeking through the slightly steamed windows, Bhaldgeim was welcomed to the sight of steam, metal and pistons pumping in a choreographed dance of progress. A fire lit inside her and she wanted to learn everything about what she witnessed. To her surprise, Bhaldgeim was welcomed by Stephanivien, the founder of the Skysteel Manufactory and the job he dubs 'Machinist'. She was taken under his wing for another five years, learning the arts of heandling fire arms, while conducting private research into machines and their adaptation to life in Eorzea and other continents. Bhaldgeim eventually leaves the Skysteel in pursuit of the skies, realising her true happiness lay there for her whilst also remembering the vow she made. However, to mark the begining of her new life of 'piracy', Stephanivien gifted Bhaldgeim her very own mana-cutter ship and she was piloting the vehicle in no time. In Recent Times Moving Forward Since then, Bhaldgeim vanished. There had been no mention of her since she left all those years ago; not a single soul knew of her whereabouts or her lifestyle. All that was known was the rumour of a mysterious 'Legless Sparrow' roaming the skies.

RP Info Location & Probability Places where the character is very likely to be seen ■ Location: Probability . Affiliations Most of these aren’t public, and would have to be asked after! ■ City-State, Region or Organization: Affiliation reason/purpose. IC Inventory The following items are things that this individual carries on their person at all times. These are noted for pickpockets, and those watching her closely. This information is meant to be a prompt for insight and is not to be meta-gamed, though feel free to use this information if it comes up logically in RP (pickpocketing, a search, etc) with use of a simple /tell. ■ Coinpurse: A coinpurse of elaborate design, crafted from wyvern leather. It contains at least 500 gil per outing. ■ Custom Revolver-Automatic: An engraved adamantite gun, customised by Dex and modified to be efficient in gun fights. ■ Stolen Maelstrom Knife: One of the Maelstrom weapons stolen the day Dex quit her job as navigator. RP Limits I'm fairly open to all sorts of RP, and I have created my character in a way which will suit scenarios and interactions with as many types of characters as possible. ■ I will play Mature Content (such as violence, minor 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.) ■ Ask about Permenant injury (loss of limbs/organs.) Slavery/Inprisonment (by authoritive/non-authorative characters.) ■ I won't play ERP (I don't have a problem with it, I just don't want my character to be involved in that type of stuff.) Rape RP (I have ZERO tolerance for that.) Relationship only RP RP Hooks While the below is by no means comprehensive, it's a kind of general reasoning for walk-up RP. I'm up for longer RP plots between characters that can build up a good story arc. Just send me a tell if you think your character and mine would make a good duo in adventures or something. I'm always looking for RP, unless I'm doing PvE content (mainly Anima or Roulettes). ■ Sky Pirates If you're a Sky Pirate, chances are Dex will recognise your clothing and style. They don't exactly 'blend in the background'. ■ Teasure Hunting Dex likes treasure, and if you do too, then she'll get on with you just fine. ■ Drinking Parnters The best way to get to know this Roe is to spend a little bit of gil on that booze and offer her one. She won't say no to a good glass of cold, strong whiskey. ■ Gambling A game is played best when there's money involved, and Dex likes taking chances to strike it big. She'll play with you for sure.

OOC Notes Player Information Player Note 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..
