❝ ✯★☆✮ ❞

Astrid is a hothead and a firecracker, but she is also moved by good purpose. She is a strong, charismatic character, due to her lineage but also tempered by the hard lifestyle in the mountains of Gyr Abania. Generally neutral towards new acquaintances, but she takes time to give trust. She considers everyone as a possible ally and comrade (except garleans), and likes to make new friends, but believes that trust must be gained.

She is a skilled blacksmith and armorer, but she outshines in axe and sword fighting, and throwing a punch. Her family taught her techniques from the Fist of Rhalgr monks, and Magitek from the Garleans, while she learned the handcrafting, axe and sword/shield fighting from the Greywolfe.

After she started travelling, she got more and more curious about thaumaturgy and conjuring, and is now studying and training on them, making Ul’dah and Gridania as her primary routes.

Astrid can read, write, and sing, she has a beautiful voice altho she usually sings by herself, or when she is drunk. While she can brew, she is terrible at cooking food. Anything which requires more than simply be boiled or grilled, she would probably burn it to ashes. In Ala Mhigo they had stark food, and she was never taught the fine art of cooking, as usually grilling a steak and warming up some milk was more than enough.

Good Traits: bold, bright, brave, capable, charismatic, confident, dependable, fierce, hard-working, passionate, persistent, sensitive, warm-hearted, intuitive. Negative Traits: hot-tempered, defensive, impatient, bias, conceited, quarrelsome, rowdy, possessive, stern, unforgiving, vengeful, rugged, ruthless, moody, cocky.

- LIKES AND DISLIKES – Astrid can hold a drink, she was probably already drinking mead as a cough medicine when she was a kid. She favours mead and strong ales when she can, otherwise she is fine with milk and herbal teas and she can brew excellent medicinal teas too. Her favourite food is red meat, popotos, eggs, mushrooms, bread, cheese, anything simple is good. She believes her race should be preserved and yearns to meet another Highlander devoted to Rhalgr like her. She likes big, muscular and tough men and finds Elezen quite ridiculous and girly obviously, and while she tolerates their presence, she doesn’t like Twelveswood Elezen at all as she considers them stuck up at the least. As a beginner in magical arts and only experienced in physical fights, she evaluates the strength of her opponent barely based on their size and the size of their weapon, unless they have a gun. Even tho she is devoted to Rhalgr, she sees other people’s devotion towards different religions with an eye of respect. As her family was forbidden to worship Rhalgr, she came to a conclusion that everyone should be free to pursue their own beliefs, and she will be ready to fight for everyone’s freedom to do so.

- PROFESSION – Astrid believes in hard work, she takes commissions as a blacksmith, armorer, brewer and alchemist, and she was also hired as an Engineer in the EQUINOX Company, thanks to her Magitek knowledge.

❝ Nymh sometimes wakes up in the middle of the night. Nightmares? No one knows. ❞

Astrid is approximately 29 years old, altho her face looks younger. She has ice cold clear eyes, freckles, and a small but plump mouth. Long dark hair with ginger shades, usually kept long and wild, or in braids. She is relatively short for her race but she looks strong, slightly muscular but not in a masculine way. Her skin is pale and smooth, except on her hands where it’s hardened by the use of axe and blacksmithing tools.

She uses Garlean and Magitek accessories such as jewellery and optics. Her strongest armor is made with steel plates and chains she forged herself and had them sewed to hard hide and leather from a skilled leatherworker in the Dravanian Forelands. When she is not wearing heavy armor, she favours an Ul’dahn or tribal look. While it is not common to see her in a girly dress, sometimes she wears it and rocks it hard.

While her lineage goes back high, she didn’t take much gil with her, and she is not a money-maker, nor she is interested in material goods. She thinks that knowledge and power obtained through hard working, is the way to go. She has a warm, strong and charming voice which lets out her ability as a singer.

File:Wip.jpg ❝ wip ❞ File:Wip.jpg ❝ wip ❞ - A bit of history - Astrid Cotter – this being her real name, from her grandmother Ástríður and her grand-grand-grandmanytimesgrandfather Anshelm Cotter. Astrid’s family was more or less secretly devoted to Rhalgr, and so is Astrid to nowadays. (Greywolfe being the last name of the blacksmiths she lived with, she is using the name to conceal her real heritage). Astrid was born in 1551 during King Thordan reign. Her family was NOT a supporter of the King, but due to their strong lineage and relevant role in the history of Ala Mhigo, the King “closed one eye” and let them be, that until when Astrid was just a little kid. King Thordan ordered to wipe the Fist of Rhalgr and then started to doubt the royalty within his ranks. Astrid’s family, afraid for the fate of their beautiful last child, decided to join the Queen and later the protesters against the King. Again, Astrid was just a little kid, and spent most of her time being “babysit” by a family of blacksmiths (the Grewolfe) also devoted to Rhalgr. When in 1557 Ala Mhigo was occupied by the Garleans, her family could do nothing but acknowledge defeat. Thanks to their skills and cleverness, they made themselves useful across the Garleans ranks, even tho they secretly aspired to have them all kicked out from Ala Mhigo. However, thanks to their good mediation and ability in disguising themselves as supporters, they learned a lot about Magitek and Garlean techniques, and later taught Astrid about them. - PRESENT - When Astrid was around 25 years old, she confronted her parents about fleeing Ala Mhigo or form a protest. While her parents kept insisting that they were secretly plotting and planning on it, Astrid felt that in truth they had just passively accepted their destiny, and decided to leave Ala Mhigo, by herself, to fight the Garlean’s plague from outside. Since then she has been travelling across Eorzea to learn new abilities and skills, and pick a fight or disrupt the Garleans any time she has chance for it.

OOC INFORMATION Personal RP Limits ■ I will play mature content and themes as long as they're logical in a plot-driven encounter. ■ Ask about long-term and/or permanent injury and disfigurement. Long-term captivity or imprisonment. I might not like: if you made your character yesterday and it's already overpowered. I believe skills and power should be earned through RP. ■ I won't play permanent character death, anything outside of my (and my character's) morality scope, and constant drama-driven plots. Disclaimer ■ Please be sure to communicate with me if any particular scene, event or line in RP make you uncomfortable. I like to keep the RP enjoyable for BOTH parties while sustaining immersion. ■ European girl, plays at EU times ■ All roleplay conducted remains bound into itself. IC and OOC mixing is not preferred.
