She spent most of her summers at her cruel noble uncle's keep in northern Coerthas, and the rest of the year in the Pillars with her mother, studying societal etiquette, history, and the very beginnings of thaumaturgical training. |

It was an existence unlike anything that Evette had ever known, and instilled in her a desire to be something more than the destiny that Ishgardian society had dictated for girls like her. Unfortunately, her father died at the end of the year in a clash with Amalj'aa raiders, and Evette had no choice but to return to Ishgard and finish her formal schooling. |
− | + | At age 19, knowing that there was no real place for a bastard highlander like her in the extremely rigid religious and political structure of Ishgard, Evette left--originally intending never to return--and settled in Ul'dah to train with the thaumaturges' guild and hone her mastery of elemental ice. | |
− | + | Her first few years in Ul'dah were a tenuous existence, as Evette had no safety net, no backup plans, and no one to show her the ropes of a completely foreign society. She sought a mentor, an older man named Levi with ties to the Monetarists, who needed a protégée to assist him when business needed to be done in places where his face couldn't be seen. For five years they worked together, trading favors back and forth while Evette finished her training at Arrzaneth Ossuary. | |
+ | |||
+ | Some time later, to Evette's great surprise, the end of the Dragonsong War caused a shift in her plans for the future. Now that people could travel more freely between the Eorzean alliance and Ishgard, Evette made it her personal goal to put her thumbprint on her home nation by fostering business and political connections between nations. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Her first major opportunity came in the form of the Aureate Ward, the pet project of Luther Aldric and Liana Warden. Evette invested most of her time and nearly all of her money into the Eorzean free company, which at the time managed trade routes between continents, sponsored the retrieval and auctioning of rare and curious artifacts, and hosted social events at their flagship entertainment venue, the Argentate. | ||
+ | |||
+ | At present, the focus of the Aureate Ward has changed, and it is now a mercenary company under Ezenzakhialga Khotgor with the mission of abolishing the voidsent threat in Eorzea. Evette continues to invest her wealth into the company and acts as an ambassador and diplomat when they travel to Ishgard or other foreign countries for missions. However, she grows weary of the drudgery of mercenary management, and has a ravenous thirst for side projects. She's currently a patron of the Proving Grounds, a gladiatorial combat event for the glory of Ul'dah, and there are rumors that she's the face behind a ring of underground adult parties in the Goblet. Even with these on her plate, Evette's thirst remains unslaked. She's thinking of buying an orphanage in the Brume. | ||

Evette Blackstone “The Threat of Intimacy: Ah, how magnificent the potent power we wield. Roaring flames, piercing ice, and shocking bolts are matched not by fist or sword or spear.”
-Thaumaturgy: The Yawning Abyss, by Zozomaya
Although she keeps the details of her upbringing close to her chest, Evette will readily admit that while her father is Ala Mhigan, she grew up on the periphery of noble society in Ishgard. She spent most of her summers at her cruel noble uncle's keep in northern Coerthas, and the rest of the year in the Pillars with her mother, studying societal etiquette, history, and the very beginnings of thaumaturgical training. She was unable to meet her father until she traveled to Little Ala Mhigo herself at the age of 17, where she spent a year living with the refugees in her father's village. It was an existence unlike anything that Evette had ever known, and instilled in her a desire to be something more than the destiny that Ishgardian society had dictated for girls like her. Unfortunately, her father died at the end of the year in a clash with Amalj'aa raiders, and Evette had no choice but to return to Ishgard and finish her formal schooling. At age 19, knowing that there was no real place for a bastard highlander like her in the extremely rigid religious and political structure of Ishgard, Evette left--originally intending never to return--and settled in Ul'dah to train with the thaumaturges' guild and hone her mastery of elemental ice. Her first few years in Ul'dah were a tenuous existence, as Evette had no safety net, no backup plans, and no one to show her the ropes of a completely foreign society. She sought a mentor, an older man named Levi with ties to the Monetarists, who needed a protégée to assist him when business needed to be done in places where his face couldn't be seen. For five years they worked together, trading favors back and forth while Evette finished her training at Arrzaneth Ossuary. Some time later, to Evette's great surprise, the end of the Dragonsong War caused a shift in her plans for the future. Now that people could travel more freely between the Eorzean alliance and Ishgard, Evette made it her personal goal to put her thumbprint on her home nation by fostering business and political connections between nations. Her first major opportunity came in the form of the Aureate Ward, the pet project of Luther Aldric and Liana Warden. Evette invested most of her time and nearly all of her money into the Eorzean free company, which at the time managed trade routes between continents, sponsored the retrieval and auctioning of rare and curious artifacts, and hosted social events at their flagship entertainment venue, the Argentate. At present, the focus of the Aureate Ward has changed, and it is now a mercenary company under Ezenzakhialga Khotgor with the mission of abolishing the voidsent threat in Eorzea. Evette continues to invest her wealth into the company and acts as an ambassador and diplomat when they travel to Ishgard or other foreign countries for missions. However, she grows weary of the drudgery of mercenary management, and has a ravenous thirst for side projects. She's currently a patron of the Proving Grounds, a gladiatorial combat event for the glory of Ul'dah, and there are rumors that she's the face behind a ring of underground adult parties in the Goblet. Even with these on her plate, Evette's thirst remains unslaked. She's thinking of buying an orphanage in the Brume. At first glance, Evette is a hyur of medium stature possessing an hourglass figure, with pale skin that has gold undertones and a light dusting of freckles, long black hair often partially braided away from her face, and piercing blue eyes. A more probing look might notice a slight point to her ears, a clue to possible mixed parentage, as well as her ornate jewelry and classy but revealing clothing, as she is a woman who takes care to always look her best. She is rarely seen in public without dark lipstick and either smoky black or shimmery gold eyeshadow. Only the most perceptive--or most lascivious--eyes will notice the outline of a thigh holster for a dagger ever-present under her skirt. Evette's body language suggests that she has a cold but flirtatious demeanor, the kind of woman who keeps everyone at arm's length but still takes care to undress them with her eyes in the middle of a conversation.
Most people would describe Evette as cold but polite and willing to do whatever it takes to secure a deal or complete a task. Some might even call her ruthlessly cordial. A few people get to see the mean-spirited wit behind her public service persona and watch her unwind on the rare occasion she chooses to indulge in non-business-related hedonism. Even fewer get to see her speak candidly about her passions and true goals. Evette's inner life is fairly closed off to all but a select handful of individuals. Evette's character aesthetic moodboard has a lot of clues and hints to her personality and interests as well.
Evette keeps her opinions of and intentions for most people very close to the chest, unless asked directly. Anything listed below is public knowledge or things she has stated directly. The PC list is a work in progress!
Evette has an office at the Argentate (Mists W10, P2), the main business front of the Aureate Ward. She can also occasionally be found at RP hubs that are open on a given night, or getting drinks at the Quicksand or at the Whispered Wish brothel (Goblet W9, P43) when nothing else is open. She's a patron of the Proving Grounds gladiatorial tournament that hosts fights every other Saturday in the Goblet's first ward. Evette's reputation as a diplomat and deal-maker may precede her, as well as her position as an investor with the Aureate Ward, which is known for its mercenary voidsent-hunting and for the retrieval of rare and dangerous artifacts. Some may suspect that she is the face behind a ring of hedonist underground parties in Ul'dah (Goblet W16, P38). Characters who are interested in attending, performing, or staffing adult-themed events may seek out Evette for an interview. Currently seeking partners for the following plot hooks. Message me on Discord at thatsadorbsyo#6895 if interested in any of them!
Some rumors are simply speculation, greatly exaggerated, or not true in the slightest. Anything listed here is free use IC within reason.
