Dex Bodyshot.png

Evelyn Masker (More commonly known by Dex to strangers) is a tall highlander woman, standing at 5'6 and weighing 145 ponze. She is a pale in skin tone, with deep red hair and amber eyes. Because Dex works out on a regular basis around cardio and weightlifting, she has defined muscles, but not too overly toned. An example of her build can be found here.

Scars & Markings: The most notiable features of Dex is her magitek-infused left arm and legs, replacing the stumps that she had lost from her adventures across Hydaelin. While the limbs work most of the time, Dex can suffer from join pain, disfunction and internal wiring issues. Organically, Dex is a very muscular woman due to her regular workouts and activity at early times of the morning every day. This enhances her natural Highlander strength and helps with her intimidating appearance. It is obvious that she has used her strength in countless situations, as she has obtained scars over the abdomen, arms and back which differ in size, length and direction. They are easily visible when clothing is not covering them. She has recently obtained ceruleum burn scars all down her left side of her body and over her left cheek beneath the eye. She has gained a long cut down her right eye. Dex's red tattoo over her eyes was inspired by the flow of the wind and she believes it helps her appear tougher, frightening those who look at her the wrong way. Dex used to draw the pattern over her eyes almost daily, until one day she decided it is easier to just have them tattooed on her face.

Voice: The Highlander voice is something that cannot be missed, and Dex's voice is one of them. Being a confident and vocal person, Dex almost loves the sound of her own voice and often makes it sound quirky, croaky or cracked for emphisised expression on her current mood. Her vocals are low, but not deep. One of her surprising talents is being able to sing slow jazz-esque sailor songs with ease, having sang so often back in her Maelstrom days.

Voice claim for Dex.

Clothing: Dex has a different outfit for different occasions, be it casual or formal. Her style is consistantly flamboyant with splashes of reds, whites and golds. She used to be seen wearing silvers and fancier coats to assert her image as a Sky Pirate. If one is lucky, however, they may catch her in her 'gym' clothing or even more rarely, snugly pink pyjamas.

"If there's two things I'm good at, it's drinkin' the strongest whiskey and findin' the rarest treasure on Hydaelin."

Dex is confident, cocky and reckless.. As a hot-headed fighter for freedom and progress, the overzealous Sky Pirate always follows her own mind and sorts situations out her way. She takes no prisoners if it means striking it rich on some occassions. Dex can be irratable if she remains on the ground for too long and she takes solace in higher places. She is an adrenaline junkie if it is not apparent already from her numerous injuries obtained from her endevours, enjoying free-falling when she isn't cooped in her company workshop.

Despite Dex being a brash individual in the eyes of many, she a deeply caring woman who is pensive at heart. Her reckless and self-damaging behaviour counteracts the melancholic state she endures frequently. Constantly worrying over the health and wellbeing of her closest friends, she will sacrifice herself for their safety no matter the cost.

NPC

Fedran Masker ( ) ( NPC ) - Grandfather

Dominic Masker ( ) ( NPC ) - Father
Dominic became Dex's main inspiration for being a pirate in the first place, as he used to be a very successful pirate before Merlwyb became Admiral. He has the most criminal activity in the family, yet still made time in the cell to pay for his crimes and raise a family before his untimely death. Dex cannot remember how he died, but remembers it was something to do with disease.
Autumn Redsteele ( ) ( NPC ) - Mother
Dex's sweet mother who was more than capable of shattering Highlander stereotypes. She captured the heart of Dominic during his piracy years thanks to her delicious fish pie he stole from her every summer's eve. She eventually came to care for him and have a child before he passed away. It wasn't long until she joined him in the lifestream some years later from old age.
Ryse Masker ( ) ( NPC ) - Brother
Dex's supposedly cheeky, yet devoting brother. He was one of the trainee Marauders of the Marauder's Guild, however he didn't make the cut. From what Dex remembered of him, he was very protective of his sister and would do anything to keep her out of trouble. He was the first member of the family to die, injuring himself on the cliffs of La Noscea after being rammed off the edge by a billygoat at twenty two summers old.
Leofard ( ) ( NPC ) - My Hero
Leofard of the Redbills in Sea of Clouds quickly became Dex's inspiration for Sky Piracy when she picked herself up from being homeless in the Brume. It took a long time for Dex to be noticed by Leofard, but when she was eventually recognised by her idol, she wasted no time doing odd-jobs and heists with him for tit-for-tat deals.
Stephanivient () ( NPC ) - The Compassionate Aim
Whilst Dex was living through her time as a homeless woman, she was taken in by Stephanivient and worked under him as a Machinist. She served for five years as his employee, picking up uniqiue, techonology-based trades. To this day, she believes she would not be the woman she is now if it weren't for his kindess. She now does business with him and buys components, weapons and ammunition from his manufactory

PC

Lukas Madrazo () ( PC ) - My Best Friend
Dex and Lukas share a very chaotic history during the time that they've known each other. They enjoy each other's comapny as much as they regularly scuffle over both major and minor things. Above all else, Dex is proud to know a loyal and trustworthy man. She greatly misses her time with him since the loss of his shop.
Suuka Haishin () ( PC ) - My Lil' Brother
Dex finds Suuka the 'Noodle Fish Boy' adorable, much to his dismay. She sees him as a little brother she never had and gets very defensive over his wellbeing most of the time. Although she does tease him, she understands that she owes him her life for saving her from certain death on one occassion.
Rayla Black ( ) ( PC ) - Ruthless Roulette
When it comes to Ray, Dex just doesn't know when she's going to get along with her or want to tear her eyeball out from her skull. She generally keeps it neutral unless one of her other friends is affected gravely by her antics, or she crosses the moral line that conflicts with Dex's. Dex recently agrees to work under Ray, acting as a pilot over one of her ships and its crew.
Kri'sie Crimson'lion () ( PC ) - Auntie Kri
A thicc Roegadyn with a likemindedness to Dex, the pair get along uncannily well, even at different ends of the lawful spectrum. One thing that they definitely share a passion for is adventure and keeping strong. She sees Kri as the big polyamorous auntie when Dex is going through troubles - be it romance or finance.
Augutus Yandral ( ?) ( PC ) - Sky Senpai
Versus and Dex were the dynamic duo of the Black Sparrows. Versus found her alone on one of the islands in the Sea of Clouds and saw potential in her to grow into a foolhardy Sky Pirate - where after many months of blood, sweat and tears - Dex earned her title of 'Legless Sparrow'. It's believed by Dex that Versus had died in an airship crash in the Dravanian Hinterlands six years ago.
Auron Savaris () ( PC ) - Melancholy Friend
Auron and Dex go way back since bumping into each other at the Quicksands. Some awkward occassions arise between the two whenever they attempt to hang out, but overall, they maintain a respectful, friendly relationship.

Harzonald Nonofono () ( PC ) - Bittersweet Sentience
Dex meets Harzonald at the Grindstone whilst he is accompanying Suuka as a member of the audience, showing disinterest in the event altogether. Dex couldn't help but find the man mysterious and enjoys his comapny greatly as they share a passion for technology. They once formed a relationship, but it quickly ended when Dex could no longer make time for him.

50 dex.png

Dex's childhood is something that she doesn't often speak of due to being mistrusting of others. 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 Evelyn. 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 seven summers old, to which one thing lead to another and she ended up becoming one of the Maelstrom's successful navigators by time she hit eighteen summers old. After a few years, Evelyn 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 Highlander to take up arms and fight against these so-called bandits, only to be robbed of her goods herself. Despite the terror she witnessed, Evelyn 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, Evelyn 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 Evelyn's interest. Looking through the cracks of the entrance doors and peeking through the slightly steamed windows, Evelyn 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, Evelyn 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. Evelyn 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 Evelyn her very own mana-cutter ship and she was piloting the vehicle in no time. Since then, Evelyn 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.


AS OF 3.56 - On her travels in Eorzea, she was offered a great sum of Gil by a miner to return her items and linkpearl to a home by the name of The Blades. When she arrived at the place, she was quickly whisked into a job by Valirelia Hirano and Nataru Hirano. The task that involved dark magic, lawbreaking and not at all a hero's work. Dex eagerly accepted the task with Gil being her ultimate motivation. It was then that she was offered a place with the Blades serving them as their mercenery for a sweet wage. Although Dex initially was skeptical about working for others, she agreed to join them. Some time after whilst pondering in the dark of the Quicksand, she bumped into another Sky Pirate by the name of Lukas Madrazo, to which began the new era of adventures for her. At first, she was her usual cocky self around the likes of Madrazo, Hirano and others in both groups but over time, she has settled into a newfound feeling of brotherhood.


AS OF 4.0 - Dex hatched a plan to travel to Ala Mhigo in hopes of striking it rich. However, her entire endevour backfired when she was attacked by Garleans, bringing down her ship from the skies. She survived the crash, only to come face to face with the soldiers defenseless. In a desperatebid to escapse, Dex used one of her ceruleum tanks from her shins to blast the soldiers to smitherines, leaving her burned on her left side to the point where her face was scarred and her left arm disintergrated. Since then, along with the shocking sights of child deaths in the war, Dex had gone into hiding. For so long, she had closed herself off to her own group of friends, wallowing in the misery of losing more than she had bargained for, even deciding to leave The Blades out of shame. It wasn't until weeks later that she eventually came around and decided to get back onto her feet, reliving her dream of being the richest Sky Pirate in Dravania.


AS OF 4.05 - Dex returns to the Red Shop, the homeplace of Team Red - founded by Lukas. She asked him to allow her to build herself replacements using his workshop and he abided, to which he extended an offer to her of becoming Team Red's official lead engineer. Taken aback by his offer, Dex accepted and began to become prideful of her place in the team. Dex was happy with life, however it was clear her experiences with Ala Mhigo drove her to be more aggressive to the point of not caring for her own wellbeing. She had regular scuffs against Lukas' teasing and her anger lead her into volatile situations against him, despite having developed a strong bond. A heated argument caused her to reconsider her actions and her plan for the future. Dex began a new process of opening up and trusting Lukas and his mates, breaking down her walls and allowing her true name to come into fruitition, much to her initial protest.

After much debate, Dex attempted to solve her problem of being limbless by manufactoring megitek limbs to fuse with her body. She spent a night drinking strong alcohol and numbing potions and operated on herself, however the procedure resulted in Dex losing a lot of blood and botching the fusion. It wasn't until Suuka Haishin stumbled into the company workshop to find her dying and out of her mind, as he contacted the linkpearl for assistance despite being in major distress. Rayla Black responded first and enters and attempted to heal Dex of her wounds, but to no avail. Eventually a medic named Crezelle Dullclaw and Kri'sie Crimson'lion arrived to assist with saving Dex from total fatality.

Dex was taken to the infirmary where she remained for some days to recover, until Kri came with news that there was someone who was able to help her attach the limb professionally. Overjoyed, Dex welcomed this stranger named Marcus. He operated on her whilst Kri assisted once again, and the operation was successful. She awoke to a megitek limb attached to her left arm and it overwhelmed her with joy. Eventually, she appointed the same doctor to grant her magitek legs to replace her prosthetics, rendering her technically fully limbed again.

Some time after recovering, Dex felt that she lost sight of the woman she yearned to be all those years ago; a ruthless sky pirate questing to be the richest of them all. Without a warning, she informed Team Red and Suuka of her departure and headed to the Sea of Clouds on the same day. She resided in the Clouds, looting whatever remained on the floating islands and attempted to reconnect with a distant ally, Leofard of the Redbills. She was successful in doing so.

She returned to the Red Shop as a meaner and leaner sky pirate. However upon her return, she finds out very quickly that most of her close friends have made dramatically dark decisions. Rayla grew increasingly aggressive towards her past business partners and in turn this made Dex become extremely wary of her presence and actions. Not only this, but her paranoia caused her to be aggressive towards her boss, Lukas. She aimed her anger at his carefee antics and even herself for allowing her heart to fall for him. She decided to close herself off from everyone around her, except Suuka who had become her main priority.

Recently, Dex encountered Harzonald Nonofono one day at the Grindstone tournament and thanks to this, the hyur suddenly found herself in a whole different dimension of discovery and adventure. She fell in love with the man rather quickly and she quickly shared this with her close friends for advice on how to handle her sudden attraction to him. Eventually, she managed to confess to him of her feelings and in turn, she received more than what she bargained for; she learned of his purpose of his existence involving the revival of his wife, which contributed to Dex's continuous downfall of her emotional state.

AS OF 4.1 - Struggling with her own emotions flaring over the loss of another relationship, she finally snapped when Lukas sold off the shop she worked in and all of her projects within it. Dex felt utterly betrayed by her boss and refused to engage with any of her friends. Unable to speak of what she knows of Harzonald for fear of sounding crazy, along with the reminder of the loss of her former mentor, Lukas' abandoning and the mistrust in Ray, the lost freelancing engineer contemplated taking her own life with the belief that there was nothing else for her to carry on.

Suuka encouraged Dex to participate in an early All Saints Wake event in Lower La Noscea in a bid to cheer her up. Dex complied and arrived in a black armoured costume, readying to partake in the costume competition, however, her lack of funds to cater to Suuka's needs caused his friend, Ulfarr Reddwing to have her work under his stead for the night in exchange for repaying him money for the drinks that Suuka wanted to purchase. As the night progressed, Dex became involved in solving a robbery, to which the culprit and the cash could not be found. Dex at that moment felt completely useless, despite keeping up her mood for the Au Ra lady who was the victim that night. The costume competition arrived and Dex managed to squeeze into the line-up last minute for the spookiest catagory. She unexpectingly won first prize of one hundred thousand gil, instantly placing her back into comfortable funding. She was able to pay Ulfarr back in expense.

Dex had a case full of money and decided to seek something in Hingashi that she believed was missing in Eorzea as an alternitive to taking her own life. Suuka protested for her to stay, but the hyur's mind was made up.

Rumour has it that Dex arrived in Kugane no less than a sun ago with the case and the clothes on her back. Her last known whereabouts were in the streets of Shirogane with an elderly Au Ra male leading her towards the Kobai Goten apartments...

The Tales of Dex Cogstride

Ffxiv 16072017 215511.png

Chronicle 1: Surviving Gyr Abania (4.0)

"The sky is clear. Good. This'll do." Dex hummed to herself.

She leaned back into her cushioned seat, both her hands were on the thruster levers of the Manacutter ship. A sigh of relief left her lips as the gentle winds flowed through her hair, eyes forward on the ocean of black before her. The sky pirate was prepared for this moment and it would be foolish to think otherwise.

It was only mere bells ago that her fake Cohort ID card allowed her to slip beyond the imperial eyes of the Garlean Empire guarding Baelsar's Wall with ease, and her camoflagued ship mirrored itself against the clouds with a flawless reflection. Dex never imagined the voyage into Gyr Abania to be so easy. This war would grant her and her company unimaginable fortune if all went according to plan and that was when she took a moment to smile to herself, basking in the thought of bathing in gold. The night was calm and cool and the stars lit the way for her towards the forested area some distance before the city of Ala Mhigo.

Dex wasn't sure what to make of the situation in this dry continent with very little evidence of battle below her. She couldn't see very well in the darkness and only had the illumination of the moon to lighten the grounds. It wasn't until she glided beyond the forest that the true nature of the war revealed itself; Empty tanks and hollow warships littered the open canyons, some still alight from the remaining ceruleum drenched on the metal plating. Bodies of Garlean soldiers piled in tall mountains of bloody ash, spears and swords pinned to their flesh. It was like witnessing the purging of the dead, as if the Abanians believed that the carcasses would rise again in the next Calamity to claim innocent lives. The distinct smell of smoke, ceruleum and death smog the air heavily.

Dex leaned over the hull of her ship to get a better look at the still carnage. Her mouth hung open slightly.

"Fuckin' Hells."

TBC...

Chronicle 2: The Stormbringer (4.06)

"Dear Lukas,

It's cold outside today and the winds are picking up. I'm wondering if you're using your Falcon at all. I hope you haven't crashed the fucking thing yet or you'll pay when I get back. I'm trusting you haven't. You should see the colours of these clouds during the umbral winds. It's pretty crazy what kinds of purple show up against the greens and shit.

I don't think I'll be out here much longer now, it's scarce as it is, though I do see a large ship in the distance to the south. I have no idea what the fuck is on it though. It looks like a castle? An arena? How can such a vessel carry something like that on its hull without weighing it down? That's gotta be one powerful ship, if it isn't Garlean. It doesn't look like magitek, so fuck knows what it is. I'm going to investigate it at dawn tomorrow, as long as my fucking arm doesn't give me phantom pains again. How is everyone doing back in Eorzea? Tack better not be in shit and Ray too. I can't help but think shit's been happening without me, but Hells, I guess it's better that I'm not there embarrassing myself anyway. Tell Tack I said hi. Maybe I can find a leaf for him to bring back and keep.

That reminds me, I have something for you. I promise it's good. It came from Leofard himself actually, I caught him at his island on his rounds. No hard feelings so it seems, not to me anyways. I know he and Conway didn't exactly meet eye to eye. Anyroad, I told him about you and he seemed fond of you and asked me to give you something. I'll find you when I return and hand it over.

I also wanted to ask you something. I hadn't found a chance yet with all the shit going on, but maybe—"

Dex lifted her eyes from the page to something shuffling in the distance, fog and mist shrouding the Sea of Clouds thickly. The sky pirate lowered her quill and rested her paper to the side. Uncrossing her metal legs, she sensed a tense air that surrounded her and it echoed across the floating islands as the birds silenced their songs. She stood upright hesitantly whilst reaching for her pistol.

“Who’s out there? Come forward nice n’ slow and I won’t put holes in ye.” Dex called out to the air, but nary a reply. There was a rustle in the bushes by the trees some distance from the sky pirate. Her eyes trained on that area, taking her pistol from her holster. Like a Coerl in the hunt, Dex inched closer to the sounds, taking one step at a time cautiously. Something didn’t feel right and this thought never arose in Dex’s mind until the source of disturbance shifted from the bushes.

Quickened footsteps pattered towards her right side. Dex reacted. A hulking Roegadyn clad in flowing cloth charged towards her, his axeblade forward in his white-knuckle grip. The Hyur quickly threw herself away from the brute’s path, landing with a thud on her front against the soil.
