Glioca's body is under a constant aetheric cycle. This cycle means that she regenerates and heals at a much faster rate than most other individuals. This also prevents her from aging in any normal fashion, as her cells continually rejuvenate themselves. She can be scarred, if a wound is inflicted with particularly nasty magical means, or if she has lost her armlet as her aether leaks during these periods, rather than remaining constant in her body to keep her regenerating. It's presently unknown if she can be killed outright, or if the aether in her body would simply reform her again at a later time. |
Those who have a strong aether sense may be able to detect the abundance in Glioca. Given the amount of raw aether that flows through her body, she's unable to control it to the fine degree she's used to without assistance. Because of this, she wears an armlet made of a metal and crystalline substance that is worn on the right side of her body. This armlet draws aether out of her body in a continual stream, creating a conduit for the excess she generates to flow through, to leave the aether inside her more manageable. |
When it comes to channeling aether, she has an easier time than some do, because of the way it's a constant in her body, instead of shifting and flowing as it usually should. Interestingly enough, Glioca doesn't have an endless pool of aetheric power to draw from when using magic, as it's a different direction than her aether usually takes. The aether required to fuel her body and regenerate is a rather large amount, and this limits the amount she can devote to her spell casting. Her pool would be considered large in comparison to some, but decidedly not limitless. |
The Echo is an ability that some rare individuals possess. Those that have been 'gifted' have the ability to resonate with other people's souls. This permits them to see their past, albeit not able to interfere or change it, as well as being able to speak every language in the world. As a side effect, the Echo also seems to prevent it's user from being tempered by Primals. Interestingly, Glioca's Echo came to light some 200 years ago, when she was still quite young. This led to a lot of misunderstandings, headaches, and a worsening of her aetheric condition for a number of years. Her husband assisted her with the use, and she can now willingly keep herself out of the memories of others. When the Calamity came, she, like many others, began getting the visions of meteors falling from a burning sky. It is thought that the Echo is in part responsible for the changes that later occurred to her. Disclaimer: This power is never used without explicit player permission in role-play. *** |
Eidetic memory is the ability to recall visual information, such as pages from books and other visual sources, in great detail after only brief exposure to it. In Glioca, this trait developed in early childhood, and was nurtured by her parents and grandparents to allow her to more readily retain information from whatever source she might learn from. The ability was nurtured very early on, and is one of the reasons that Glioca is multi-talented, especially in the field of magic, where much of her study into Thaumaturgy and Arcanima relied on her ability to first memorize theory and calculations, and opposed to the expression strictly of aether itself, as with Conjury. Further, Glioca has a secondary trait that rarely presents itself in those with Eidetic Memory, and that is that she is Photo-reflexive. She often uses these two abilities in conjunction to attempt to learn as much as possible as quickly as possible, though she is sometimes (often) hampered by her own bodies abilities, and the aetheric condition which she is under. |
Photo-reflexiveness is the pinnacle of the rare genetic trait found in those with an eidetic memory. The ability to become physically attuned to the movements of others simply by witnessing them, gaining their expertise and experience through mere moments or less depending on how comfortable one is with their trait. Once seen or heard, the user is now permanently filled with the knowledge, and their body adapts to be able to perform it to the best of its ability. Training is required for the body to meet the challenges presented by the knowledge taken in, and obviously, some things can’t be mimicked based on the limitations of the body. This ability also functions as highly accelerated learning, as the user can do whatever they wish with their new knowledge - even building upon what they've witnessed, not limited to simply mirroring what has been observed. The limitation, of course, is provided that the user's body can actually physically perform the movements it is now educated in doing. Witnessing someone running at extreme speeds does not make them just as speedy... nor does witnessing someone juggle cinderblocks mean that they can even lift one. While this means she wouldn’t be able to mimic a quadruped’s combat movement, for example, she will memorize it and if reasonably skilled in that area - might draw inspiration using it as a basis. This also extends to audial perceptions as well, giving her the ability to perfectly mimic sounds and voices to the best of her physical capability. |
Goods... Glioca offers a number of unique products, primarily of her own design, at the shop. These can include things like makeup and cosmetics, but more commonly range to things like philters, draughts, and elixirs. She also sells confectionery treats, plush creations, and a variety of other things, but the real pride of the shop is their other range of more unique items, tomes, and other miscellany goods. Services... While much of what is seen on the shelves of the store are all that's offered, the duo are capable of obtaining a great number of things, and their skill with artistry means they're capable of creating unique items that an individual might need. Everything from jewelry to rare texts and even discreetly obtained Allag items. Much of what they create in this way is obtained by commission, usually for those that the pair find interesting.
Contact... Feel free to approach me for RP relating to Black Phoenix Oddities or to NPC / handwave the more common purchases, whichever is more convenient for you. If you choose the NPC / handwave route, note that the (NPC) employee overseeing most day-to-day business affairs, consults, and sales in the boutique is a Wildwood Elezen woman by the name of Melisine Sorel. |
Goods... Glioca keeps a trove of commonly created potions and requested items, both infused with aether, and not, readily available for purchase. Services... But the most interesting thing that they offer, outside of the shop, is a service that's in high demand, but low supply: revenge. The pair will take revenge for those who are unable, for a certain price, regardless of the fashion of revenge that is requested, usually delivering equal suffering upon an individual, however, the exact terms is dependent on their client. Contact... This type of service is offered on a person by person basis, and is contingent on the OOC approval of all parties involved (the asker, and the intended target). |
While not a mathematician by trade, she is still quick enough with numerics and strategies to take full advantage of arcane magic, be that for summoning a creature to aid her, or to aid others. She considers her skill with healing using arcane magic to be secondary to her skills with conjury, but she is still a fair hand at it, not having had the time to master it as she has white magic. She constantly seeks to expand her arsenal of abilities, both for practical and more combat-oriented uses. |
Glioca is just proficient enough with a bow to hit a target a distance away, and not snap the bowstring in the process. She's learning more and more as she progresses, but archery will never be among her primary skills without a great deal more study, and a patient enough teacher to deal with her snapping bows when she grows frustrated. |
While it has been some time, she did at one point study divination as a means of predicting the outcome of certain events. More to the point, she is fond of and has in the past practiced celestial magic, or magic influenced by the stars. Glioca is quite fond of astrology as a science and study, though she refuses to believe that certain things are 'fated', and instead refers to the fortunes she reads, when she reads them, as a type of directional marker, giving her an idea of which path she should be following at the present time, and she takes steps accordingly, if it seems as though a path may lead her down a bad road, to exercise the utmost care in those matters. In terms of using the magic either for bolstering allies or harming those who stand against her, only time will tell. *** |
While Glioca isn't as proficient with an axe as she is a sword, she's not a bad hand at the large weapons. Her fighting style grows a little wilder when she's using an axe, and she thoroughly enjoys trouncing her enemies with the much more energetic style of combat she adapts when using one. |
Singing and playing instruments is a talent that Glioca honed over her life, learning to play a number of different instruments. Given her penchant for magic, bardic magic is no extreme feat for her, and she enjoys the manipulations of it, but it's far from her strongest magic. |
Less skilled with this type of magic than the art of Conjury, Glioca is extremely proficient with Ice and Lightning, less so with Fire, which is typically her naturally opposed element. She took to the darker magics of thaumaturgy with ease, and seeks, as she has always done with any type of magic, to expand herself to master all magic. This is a daunting task which she approaches with diligence and patience, knowing that any magic is difficult to master. She is currently working on learning to combine the different types of magic she knows to great application. |
Daggers are far too light a weapon for Glioca to be comfortable with. While she'd be more capable of using a single dagger, the twin-dagger style is something she's practicing, but she's not finding herself very adept at it. Time and training will improve her abilities. Hopefully. |
Her only experience with dark magics thus far are void-related, very minimalistic, and rarely spoken of. That said, she's begun delving deeper into those magics, using her finely honed rage as a starting point and finding new ways to manipulate that into a twisted form of magic that draws upon that inner darkness of hers. She finds this easier than she'd like to admit, and finds that using a heavier blade often helps her more readily employ these powers, utilizing the swinging of the blade almost like a form of dance-fighting. The style is somewhat elegant, but leaves her exhausted after utilizing it. This also goes strictly for her void-related magics as well; their extreme use leaves her dealing with extreme exhaustion. |
If you had to pick one type of combat that Glioca truly excels at, it would be hand-to-hand. She knows a number of martial fighting styles, both styles that would be familiar as far as Doma, and as near as Ul'Dah. Her movements are precise but incredibly strong, and in most cases, she would rather just punch something to death than she would combat it in any other way. She reinforces her strikes with her own aether to make them far more dangerous, and to use them to counteract a persons ability to channel aether, either from outside, or through their body. |
Glioca is just learning to take advantage of the reach and flexibility required to wield a lance, and would be far more likely to use a lance as a throwing weapon than an up-close weapon in any kind of conflict or fight. She does have a fondness for the halberd, but still has far less experience with this type of weapon than say, her skill with a sword. |
If it clinks, clanks, makes noise, or can somehow be used in machinery, Glioca can use it. She actually adores technology and uses it as liberally as possible, both in her day-to-day life, and in other cases. She often seizes and re-purposes Garlean technology for her own uses. She created a magitek guardian for the shop, a small Ultima weapon statue that fires off a condensed aetheric quad-Firaga if triggered. She's currently working on a smaller sized bullet for the weapon, so there's less of a chance for damage to the shop, as opposed to just hitting the intruder. It's a work in progress. *** |
Combining her one-handed swordsmanship style with the capability she has with magic, Glioca has begun wielding a rune engraved blade that serves as her magic focus, and begun to meld spell weaving into her fighting style. She often uses her single blade by focusing spells directly into the blade and delivering them with different strikes. This spell-casting style requires a greater degree of finesse than her use of a sword and shield, but also require a free hand in order to cast, and a lighter amount of armor to be of appropriate benefit to her fighting style. She refers to herself as a Magic Swordsman, or more appropriately, a Mystic Knight, when asked. She's capable of using magics from all the various spheres of influence (Arcanima, Astrology, Conjury, Dark Magic, Bardic Magic, and even Thaumaturgy) with her blade, with each requiring appropriate but brief incantations. *** |
Out of necessity and a desire to further her training with the sword upon her return to Eorzea, Glioca, or rather, Meallaire took up for a time with the Gladiator's guild, training herself with a blade. She did eventually seek the training of the Paladin that was offered to all who claim themselves as adventurers, though she would prefer to use no shield at all. Still, while her skill with a sword is passable and she wouldn't hesitate to take someone on with a blade, her skill with a sword is still inferior to that of her husband, who has much more extensive training with swords of all styles. She has gained a greater degree of skill as time has passed, even to the point where she'd temporarily hung up her staff in lieu of utilizing a sword and shield. |
She has more skill than one would consider her to have, though she tends to blend into an environment more than she actually shifts herself to be unseen. More of a hide-in-shadows than true stealth, she's working on improving her skill with this ability all the time, even if she is a bit slow (and generally bad) at it. |
Upon first arriving back in Gridania for the first time since before the Calamity, she ended up seeking out the Conjurer's guild. With her prior years of study and the ability to draw on the deep well of strength from inside herself, she continued her former studies of the art, using it as more than simple healing magic: hyper-reinforcing her body, which greatly boosted her endurance and agility. Coupled with her already keen mind, this has given her a very sharp edge over many others who might pursue the path of the more advanced forms of Conjury. |
To go along with her skill at cooking, Glioca spends a great deal of time pushing the envelope with recipes in Alchemy that would probably make people raise an eyebrow, blink, or do a little bit of both. She experiments, creating things like poison and "love potions" with equal ease. She crafts natural and magically based philters, draughts, and elixirs, all of which she sells. She also creates experimental potions and drafts, including ones that are used for transmutation of an object into another substance, and more notably, a potion, taken daily, which prevents pregnancy.
|
Pounding on a sheet of metal is easy when you've got a lot of strength, and that's definitely something that Glioca has in spades. She maintains all of her own armor; a suit of silver half-mail created with a mixture of weaving, smithing, metallurgy, alchemy, goldsmithing and leatherworking. This unique combination allowed her to create an alloyed metal that is light as leather and flexible like cloth, while still affording her the protection of a full suit of armor. This gives her the flexibility to utilize her unique combat styles, as well as the necessary protection to still take the brunt of the damage she does. She rarely takes on commissions for others, as she doesn't feel her armorsmithing to be one of her best skills on it's own, but she does, as with everything else, try her hand at furniture that utilizes the strong plates, rings, rivets and other components that armorsmithing is well known for. |
She has a fair hand at blacksmithing, with long hours spent in study to make the most of her skill with the craft. She utilizes her knowledge of magic to carve runes and symbols along the weapons she creates, allowing them to be used, with some infusion of crystal somewhere into the weaponry, to be used as a magic focus. This is part of her experimentation in cross-combination magic, and she uses her sword as a singular focus when casting just about anything. She utilizes blacksmithing in conjunction with her carpentry to create weapons that are both elegant and functional, enjoying the decorations she can add that makes each individual item she crafts unique. She's not a bad hand with anything else you could make with the smithing craft, and utilizes it to create the small components she uses in her magitek work, as well. She's currently working on a gunblade based on a Garlean prototype. This project is still in the works. |
Probably Glioca's greatest hobby, the cultivation of plants and new subspecies of flora is one of the things that the woman prides herself on. Through careful study and experimentation, she has begun growing plants that are often not found on Eorzea, typically for personal use and never shared with the outside world except in the form of an ingredient used in one of her many concoctions or tinctures, or as part of an herbal tea. She keeps a number of small gardens at her home in the Goblet, and when she isn't reading or training, she can be found speaking to and tending these gardens. |
Her skill with botany has given Glioca a good eye for what types of wood would be best with what project. Her time in Othard helped in sparking her interest, as she spent a good deal of time working with her hands. She could build a house for someone, given time and materials, starting with the frame, and ending with the furniture. She enjoys the craft of working a log or piece of timber into a work of art, whether that's a decorative carving, or a weapon to be used by an archer or lancer. She tends all of her own needs in terms of weaponry, using her skill at carpentry to supplement and augment her skill at blacksmithing where necessary. |
Glioca has the most experience with cooking. She tends to cook with an elegant flourish, and favors candies and cakes, but she can make just about anything, ranging from traditional Eorzean dishes to the more unique cuisine of Othard, and indeed, lands far beyond. But take away her fancy pots and pans, and she's just as happy cooking over an open fire with a simple metal pot and fresh spices. She's more of a personal fondness for savory rather than sweet, and sells a number of her wares at Black Phoenix Oddities, the store she runs with A'rklonn. She did undergo training at the Bismark, to learn how to appropriately and adequately prepare more local food, as a number of ingredients in Eorzea are new to her. Her specialties are small chocolate candies, filled with cream and fruit, a sort of cordial cherry type dish, which she makes with a number of both sweet and sour fruits. |
A very casual fisher, Glioca's favorite spot in somewhere deep in the Twelveswood, nothing but a lot of quiet around her, and her fishing pole in hand, watching the water. She could easily spend hours this way, but sadly, doesn't get to fish as much as she'd like. She doesn't trophy fish, however, instead preferring that anything she catch be used for a meal, for alchemy, or some other craft.
|
This requires a fine hand and touch that while Glioca has it, she prefers mixing metals into unique alloys for the craft more than she does crafting the actual pieces of jewelry themselves. That said, she can make a ring as intricate as anything one might have seen - but she'll probably never call it her favorite craft. She's much more fond of using her skill to make links and rings for armorsmithing work. |
This is a skill that Glioca honed to accompany her weaving, knowing that working leather was a practical skill to nurture as the two often go hand in hand, especially when a piece requires both finely worked leather and well-woven cloth. Just as with weaving, she spent time working with Fen-Yll, learning patterns and practical knowledge. She's developed a few patterns on her own, mostly for styles of gloves that are easily used by combatants who want a lighter armor that allows the free use of magic. |
While she can mine, she prefers to leave that to her husband. Larger orders of metal are usually left up to him, though, given her gardening habit, she does do a bit of gathering of prime topsoil for use in her botany projects. |
Nothing nurtures weaving quite like the need to make clothing for day to day use. Glioca's specialization in weaving comes not from an intricate pattern or decorative clothing, but from her skill at crafting practical things - pillows, and most especially plush dolls. She's made a number of plush dolls over the years, including a dancing cactaur ballerina powered by a special wind cluster. She put in her time at the weaver's guild, and can craft just about anything you want from her, but she finds the most joy in dolls and the other types of things she creates, rather than just clothing, intricate or not. She does enjoy weaving for the sake of it's own craft. |

Player Note I expect a clear IC / OOC division in RP. Glioca's feelings and my feelings are separate. I'm not opposed to friendships, but if an OOC relationship becomes stifling or uncomfortable, I won't hesitate to address the issue, or cut contact. Similarly, I hope that others are also as open in this regard as I am. I prefer clear lines of communication with whomever I'm RPing with, and those I'm RPing with should always feel free to send a /tell to clear up any questions. I like to think I'm a reasonable person in terms of plots and what I'll allow to happen to my character, but I do have a few hard limits as to things I will or will not allow for my creation. Ultimately, domain over her is mine, and I've spent a great deal of time developing her. There will be certain things I refuse to role-play, either because I don't feel they'd have a positive impact on her in the plot, or because I have no interest in the direction it would take my character. A large point of note, and I feel this is important, is that I do not believe in 'retconning' a storyline, even if it ends unfavorably for myself or my characters. Names may or may not be changed, and tidbits of information might be changed to better reflect a character's story, but I refuse to undo elements of her past that have happened. If your character was involved with Glioca in a storyline or other aspect, except those aspects to be recognized, even if negative, for the remainder of her play. If a player feels as if they need to retcon it from their story, that is their prerogative, but as a player I find it insulting to those I've played with to simply wipe out the existing history and hours of time and effort we both devoted to a story, no matter how it turned out in the end. There is a lot of information on this character wiki, but it is by no means completely comprehensive. There are chunks of backstory that are left intentionally vague so that details can be later added as developed through creative writing or in role-play revelation. Please keep in mind that anything that cannot be immediately observed about Glioca is considered OOC, and should not be used in-character. Feel free to use Common or Uncommon rumors freely, if you want to use a Rare Rumor as a plot hook, I would ask that you send me a tell first, to make certain it's alright. Personal RP Limits I like to consider myself a flexible player who is willing to commit to a number of different types of scenes and role-play scenarios, but even I have my limits. If something is on the play list, assume it means yes, as long as it's within the context of the current play or ongoing plot. No's are typically a hard no, and it means don't ask, and if I'm in the mood for it, I'll be the one to initiate. This is in part because Glioca's already had such a screwed up backstory in some places, she doesn't need anymore mental anguish. She's already had a lifetime of it.
Character Lore Adherence Everything concerning this character that has not been confirmed by in-game lore should be taken with a grain of salt. While an effort was made to craft lore that was vague enough and would believably fit into what we know based on the Echo, until we have hard and fast information from SE. Changes made to make her fit more accurately within the lore will be noted below
Disclaimer Glioca is based on the goddess of the same name from Kru/Nexon's Dark Ages. Her story and lore was heavily modified after 13+ years of play in forum, tabletop, and MMO role-play. This iteration has been modified to fit into the FFXIV Universe, as Meallaire.
|
Potential Plot Hooks Glioca has done and seen a lot in her history. While the below is by no means comprehensive, it's a kind of spring board for walk-up RP. Longer plots that are meant to run for more than a few quick RP's, please feel free to send me a tell so we can work out a good reason for our characters to get to know one another. I'm always looking for RP, unless I'm actively spamming PvE content.
Tropes & Explanations A trope is a convention or device that is often found in creative works. In this case, the tropes below describe Meallaire/Glioca either in part, or as a whole. Her background, personality, appearance, etc, most of them can be described in the tropes below. Action Girl This trope is self-explanatory. Glioca enjoys getting dirty in a fight, and is a very in-your-face style combatant when engaged. Deadly Doctor Glioca has a lot of medical knowledge and uses it to great effect. While she's a healer, she also doesn't prescribe to any kind of oath that would prevent her from doing harm to others. Ironically, she was a pacifist in her youth, and hated violence. Even the Girls Want Her This keeps happening to her, even when she is somewhat snapppish and short with other women. This was so persistent, even in other iterations of her that it was dubbed being 'Gliosexual', as women who had no interest in other women often developed an attraction to her. This actually frustrates her (and amuses her player). Photographic Memory Glioca has a memory that is so sharp that she can look at an item, and reproduce it without much effort. She can learn a great deal in a very short amount of time, but this doesn't mean she can master everything she learns. It takes time and repetition for her to learn anything to enough effect to be considered a master in it, even if she can produce above-average results. Beware The Nice Ones She's a very sweet and lovely woman, she wears a smile that turns scary when she closes her eyes, and has been known to frighten grown men into almost tears with it. Silk Hiding Steel When she's not playing up her abilities, Glioca comes off as a very caring, sweet, and motherly individual. She's often soft-spoken, rarely raises her voice, and can seem almost timid. She often presents herself as a lady, but has a very hard side under her kindness. Goes along with Beware The Nice Ones. |
