[edit] CHARACTER INFO HISTORY BACKGROUND ◖RUMORS◗ ♦   Common    ♦ A certain Flame patrol: "That tall and scary looking redhead? Didn't her entire patrol vanish like 7 years ago?" Random Street Vendor: "Wouldn't hurt that lass ta smile a leas' little. She's already scarin' off enough men wi' her height alone." A Secret Admirer: "I see her by the Immortal Flames at least once a day." A Mercenary based out of Quicksand: "Her accent sounds exotic. That's coming from someone who grew up in Ala Mhigo." Flame Quartermaster in Ul'dah: "Yes, we do have a lieutenant by that name just back from a long medical leave. No, a blonde." ♦ Uncommon  ♦ Young Mechanic: "This is definitely going to fly! There used to be one flying around here after midnight almost every night for a while that looks just like this one!" Concerned Arcanist: "Theo goe Cael, I haven't heard that name in almost 10 years. Nothing good comes from this name popping up in letters again, in Ul'dah, no less!" ♦      Rare        ♦ Shady Bartender: "Of course I knew who the Garlean spies are. They used to fly them in all the time on this skyship till something shot it down 7 years ago!" Thuggish Brass Blade of the Rose Patrol Sergeant: "Of course my old Sergeant didn't die in the fighting. Heard he pulled a woman out of the wreck. Nobody's seen him in years now though because he can't keep his mouth shut like Private... wait it's Lieutenant... Sorry, I'm not that interested in disappearing." ◖ABILITIES◗ ◢"Healing" Magic ♦ She has recently begun study the art of healing magic to supplement limited field first-aid skills. It is then she discovered her unnatural affinity with the art, albeit in an unexpected way. ♦ Her healing takes a grotesque toll of equivalent magnitude on its, for the lack of better term, victim. For this reason she has since discontinued her studies. ♦ Her "unique abilities" is a growing cause of concern for her. Notice from Naturalist Guild Calling all naturalists, biologists, hunters, and knowledgeable person! A corpse of a small creature unknown resembling a rodent but with scales and Hyur fingers growing from its back was found and recovered by a member of the Ul'dah First Naturalist Guild (Not to be confused with the Ul'dah Primary Naturalist Guild). Any individual who can identify or lead to the identification of such creature is to be rewarded "handsomely" to the best of the ability of the guild. Drawing of the creature should be found attached below! Pray take a look and contribute to the advancement of our knowledge of Eorzea! Signed, Guildmaster Tufafa Tufa of the Ul'dah First Naturalist Guild Page From Dropped Journal ~~A Journal belonging to Principle Naturalist Quso Tiso of the Ul'dah Primary Naturalist Guild.~~ 21st Sun, I've concluded that the mysterious creature recovered by our rival is not a forgery used in a plot to crush us. We've identified it as a Wharf Rat of some type. The presence of the scales and mysterious growths resembling Hyur fingers is... odd to say the least. I've suggested to the OTHER naturalists that we search for more specimens next Moon after we both are fully supplied and prepared. This should give US, at least 10 days a headstart to find more specimens to study! I'm confident we can find at least one more during the time! That'll show these imposters who is the best Naturalist guild in the city! Another Page ~~A Journal belonging to Principle Naturalist Quso Tiso of the Ul'dah Primary Naturalist Guild.~~ 22nd Sun, We've had! We've bumped into the chocobos of these Imposters as our wagons train is heading out the Steps! These treacherous pretenders have the galls of accusing us of duplicity! We've spent the better part of the evening shadowing their movement around the outskirts of the city where they claimed the corpse of the mysterious creature was first found! Loose Page From a Journal ~~A Journal belonging to Principle Naturalist Quso Tiso of the Ul'dah Primary Naturalist Guild.~~ 27th Sun, The leader of these pretenders Tufafa got stung by a giant bee as she was trying to prevent me from claiming what could be another mysterious corpse! It would've been good fortunes for me had I not also gotten stun. I did manage to fight it off with the help of my fellow Naturalists by throwing my homemade dumplings at it! Worst of all, I'll be stuck here in the same aid station with that insufferable pretender and her cronies! Without my midnight snacks, too! All the while these pretenders are trying to lure me away from my studies with their pretender food! The Galls! Notes Made in a Journal ~~A Journal belonging to Principle Naturalist Quso Tiso of the Ul'dah Primary Naturalist Guild.~~ 29th Sun, We've finally reached a temporary truce while this mystery of the strange corpses remains unsolved. For a Naturalist, the worst crime is to be mired in petty politics while there are unknown creatures about! The... Other guild showed their deference to us by offering to cook us dinner. Fearing that they might have sabotaged the food, I offered that both guilds make dinner in the field together so we can make sure no such duplicity will come about! Public Safety Notice Individuals from both the Ul'dah Primary Naturalist Guild and Ul'dah First Naturalist Guild claimed to have witnessed a suspicious individual casting unknown spell on wounded rodents on the outskirts of the city and turning them into abominations. The suspicious individual is described as at least 10 fulms tall with golden hair and pale skin, skulking around the city. Some witness claim the individual has glowing red eyes while others claim the individual has glowing green eyes. The individual may also have stolen a journal belonging to a Quso Tiso, the Principle Naturalist of the Ul'dah Primary Naturalist Guild. If found, please return it to the Ul'dah Primary Naturalist Guild for a reward. - Immortal Flames City Patrol ◢Combat Proficiency ♦ Born to be an endurance runner, she is light and lithe for a Highlander, she more than makes up for her inability to take a punch by reacting faster and being more flexible. ♦ Grew up brawling as a game and sport, she takes full advantage of her height and speed to tire out her opponents and relocate herself to a favorable battleground. Even though trained for her assignments to have above average upper-body strength, she much prefers to lunge and kick her opponents. ♦ A natural biter, she will instinctively bite her opponent when opportunity presents itself. Scratching and clawing with her nails also seem a norm for her. Learned from childhood to refrain from headbutting as she will often knock herself out trying to headbutt her opponents. Incident Report ... Incident Report Cadet Concordia Maris was sent to the brig originally for striking and incapacitating the head drill instructor with an uncalled blow to the sternum without warning, followed by biting and injuring a Hoplomachus before incapacitating herself attempting to headbutt said Hoplomachus. Current incident involves an altercation resulting in cadet Concordia Maris prying off a loose window bar during an altercation with cadet Iulius Daedela in the brig. Both cadets suffered minor injuries.

From the Office of the Palatines Lady LYDIA MARIS, It is with great regret to inform you that your daughter Concordia will be expelled from the Palatines as of 1st Sun of the 5th Umbral Moon. Her violent tendencies and disregard for authorities makes her unfit not only as a future ranking officer of the Imperial Legions but also a productive member of the Empire. While Concordia is talented in many respects, she is unsuited as an Legionnaire who can adhere to our mission to civilize the savage lands and safeguard the future of the Empire. Rest assured she will be returned safely home by our stewards with the next rotation of the Garrison to Doma. We thank you for your service in the frontier expanse.

I am the Praefectus of the Office of Special Diplomatic Services under the auspice of a directorate of the Office of the High Legatus. Our mission is to seek out allies beyond the Imperial borders and those will help us to bring those outside our domain into our fold peacefully and succinctly. You are among the few in the Empire who are privileged to be considered for a position within our ranks, among those of which are the both of your parents. Now, it is your chance to shine. As your parents will attest, when your assignments are brought into our fold, you and your cohorts will be well rewarded with positions of power within these domains. You have a bright future ahead of you. A person of your talents should not spend the best years of their lives locked up in gaol. I have spoken with your warden with regards to your release. In 3 days time, when you walk out of Cacere Foraminis I will be waiting for you. Yours Truly, Zeno Rem Gordian Office of Special Diplomatic Services To Concordia To My Dearest Concordia, If you are reading this letter, then I am no longer of this world. I sincerely hope this letter finds you well my dear no matter where you are. Know that there are times I wished the campaigns would falter and the barbarians would prevail so your parents would leave Doma return to us in the Capitol. Know that whatever trouble you get into, whatever grief you may have caused others around, whatever failures you will encounter as you grow up, they do not define you. This is your spirit struggling against becoming a note in someone else's tale. It is in your blood to create your own story. And this, of all my children and theirs, you are the only one to have inherited it. It has always, always, been my intention to make you the sole heir of my legacy. Unfortunately, the material fortune I leave behind will neither survive the changing times nor be anything but a burden to you. Therefore I bequeath onto you, a blank page, a new life, a new name. Go, Enmi, Venture forth beyond Doma, beyond our Empire, and adventure.

Born in Garlemald as Concordia Maris to Lydia and Masahide, Concordia was a spirited and mischievous child, always a handful for her parents and grandparents. Taira Sumi (平 すみ/炭) Age 10. On the eve of enrollment at the Imperial Collegium at Palatines as Concordia Maris. She spent much of her childhood between Doma where her parents worked and Garlemald where her grandparents lived. As per family tradition, she was sent to the Palatines at the age of 10. Whenever she is in Doma, she used the name Taira Sumi for her safety until Doma became part of the Garlean sphere of influence. Imetsuku 夢殲 Age 16. Masquerading as the hooligan leader Imetsuku(夢殲). After being expelled from the Palatines, she spent much of her free time rampaging after dark. She would most often forcibly dash through peasants' houses by crashing through the door or the roof. Soon she would attract a small group of hooligans to race each other through towns and villages at night, earning her this nickname. Imetsuku Enmi (夢殲 炎魅) Enmi was not just a name given to her as a gift, but also contained a set of identifications. Imetsuku Enmi is an identity she can build up all by herself, entirely separate from the world that knows her as Sumi, Lady Taira, or Concordia. Wisp Call Sign. Wisp, call sign assigned to her by the Praefect as a play on her names and personality. To her annoyance, she framed her persona as a serious and grizzled veteran of many conflicts, which she initially struggled to portray. The frustration from this was soon reflected as a never ending scowl on her face, and random outbursts of wood splinters on furniture around her. Soon she became known as "that woman". Cynn Dreamripper Current Name. 7 years ago, her airship crashed while attempting to rendezvous with her handlers. She was in a coma for 7 years and only woken up recently to a world of old messes and new problems. She continues to use her last public alias while mulling over a new name for a fresh start while trying to reclaim her lost years. ◖RELATIONSHIPS◗ (PC) Turik Flarewyng - "Husband" "Husband" It's a long story. ◖DOCUMENTS◗ Charred Town Almanac ... 3rd Umbral, the pirates that came to trade for water and timber fought off the beast tribes and elder Koda permitted them to harbor here. 6th 4th Astral, the village orphans went with the Sea Wolves against the wish of elder Koda. 5th Umbra, the free company from the neighboring hill came to conscript in exchange for building a wall around the village. ...
