Glioca Sargonnai is a female wildwood elezen who claims no city-state as her place of origin, and who history has no record of prior to the Calamity. She has allied herself with the Maelstrom on paper, but claims no specific allegiance to Limsa Lominsa. She is many things: a combat specialist, a field medic, and tinkerer with mechanical apparatus of all various kinds, and like her husband, she knows a little magic. She lives with her husband and their children in the Goblet, at the Phoenix Estate, from where their rather unique store, Black Phoenix Oddities is based.

Appearance

Standing at six fulms and five ilms tall, Glioca is tall for a woman, even an Elezen, a scant two ilms shorter than her husband, A'rklonn.  Her hair is naturally white, and is kept short-to-medium length, either pulled back into a ponytail, or cut into a simple bob that's pinned back away from her face in a silver hair barrette. Her eyes are a soft shade of stormy gray, and she bears a single scar upon her face, stretching up over her left eye.  The frame of her body is a mixture of the supple curve of a well build woman, hard muscle from many hours training, and the overall complexion and health of her exemplary diet, given her preference for cooking.

She usually wears a pair of rimless glasses perched on the end of her nose, but generally forsakes this for a circlet when in combat.  Upon her forehead there are six symmetrical dots; whatever they once represented, she no longer speaks of their meaning now, save that she 'enjoys the reminders'. The one thing she is never without is the band that represents her bond to A'rklonn.

Her clothing is entirely dependent on whatever task she is engaged in at the time, and she has an outfit for every occasion. She prefers clothing that is well fitting, usually practical more than pretty. The biggest exception to this are her dresses, of which she enjoys a variety of styles, usually in dark gemstone colors, or varying shades of white in fabrics that breathe easily. She appears mature, but not aged, looking to be in her late twenties to early thirties, if one counted her age as they would that of a Hyur.  This youthful appearance is somewhat superficial, and is easily seen past the moment one looks into her eyes, which speak of an individual who has seen far too much in the course of a very long and often troubled life.  

Personality

There is no one word that really defines Glioca's personality but those who know her usually refer to her as being very vibrant, and she has been likened to a force of nature: sweeping those around her up into her presence, only to leave them wondering where the storm had gone once she turned away. While not precisely a free-spirit, she's very open minded, and recent days find her happy more often than not. Her life experiences have given her a tendency to lapse into fits of melancholy that can last for days at a time, but usually flee her and leave her cheerful once more.

Despite the recent events in her life that left her deeply depressed for a time, she has a new found zest for living and tries to seize every moment of happiness she can out of the world, and out of her experiences with those around her. Most would find her easily approachable and more than willing to talk, particularly when the topic is scholarly or magical in nature. She has a deep wanderlust that causes her to spend a great deal of her time either wandering the wide roads of the Goblet, or the deep paths of the Shroud, anywhere that there are sights, or people, to be found.

She's got few fears, and a great many enjoyments in her life, and she usually tries to focus on the latter much more frequently than the former. She's a tremendous flirt with both males and females, playing it out as a dance of intellect and wit to match words with another. She has a very violent temper when provoked, though that usually takes something quite drastic to trigger off. That said, she enjoys a physical scrap, or even a battle of magics as much as some people enjoy a good book.

She's overall about as dynamic as any other individual, with moods as varied as the weather, that influence her personality depending on what's going on, who she's interacting with, or in what capacity. One thing that stays consistent is that if she's able, she's usually willing to offer advice in whatever way she can to those who seek it from her.

Likes ■ Wandering the Shroud. She has a deep and abiding love of nature, despite her enjoyment of technology, and adores the time she spends wandering the deep and twisting paths of the Twelveswood. ■ Inclement weather. Thunder, lightning, rain, tornado, blizzard, anything considered harsh weather is something she's fond of. She'd stand in the middle of a lightning strike, if A'rklonn would let her. ■ Night time. Her favorite time of day is the deep hours of dusk and the late evening. The darker it is outside, the better to see the moon and stars, the happier she is. This comes from her love of Astrology.

Dislikes ■ Dishonesty. The fastest way to raise her ire is to be openly dishonest with her. She prefers honesty, even if painful, because it's a primary component of respect, and she expects what she gives to be shown in return. ■ Miqo'te. This is odd, given her proximity to Ul'dah and that most of the individuals she knows are miqo'te, but there isn't much love for the race as a whole, and she tends to deal with them on an individual basis - usually badly. ■ Indecision. She hates indecision, even in herself, and grows easily frustrated or angry with indecisive people or people who can't openly reach a decision, regardless of what that decision is about.

Hobbies ■ The Arts. Singing, dancing, performing with an instrument, or writing or composing poetry or melodies, she's adept with a number of things, and enjoys flexing her skills in all of them. ■ Magical Research. She considers herself a scholarly individual, and works at magical theory and magical development, trying to push the boundaries of what is capable with each magicform that she adds to her assortment of skills. ■ Crafting. Regardless of what she's making, Glioca very much likes to get her hands dirty and occupy her hours with creating things. Stitching, cooking, hammering metal for hours, complex machinery; she loves devoting her time to her craft.

Combat

A woman who prefers to split her focus between a variety of combat styles, and who has several lifetimes worth of experience to draw from, she spends a great deal of time honing her body physically, but also her mind.  Much of her strength comes from the raw muscle she has built, but she supplements herself heavily with her magic to further reinforce her body and increase her capabilities.   When pushed, she can be quite the terrifying combatant.  Her husband claims rightly that she is the strongest between the two of them in terms of physical capabilities, and freely brags about some of her past feats, such as punching through a mechanical construct which could rival the Vanguards of the Garlean Empire. While she's very well rounded in terms of abilities and proficiency, she's also not mastered any one thing, except maybe Conjury, and by extension, some forms of White Magic picked up in her self-study.

Arcane Magic.
A more recent addition to her magical arsenal, Glioca chose to draw on a unique past-life in which she was a Summoner upon another world, to supplement her arcane knowledge and lore.  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.

Archery.
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.

Astrology.
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. ***

Axes.
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.

Bardic Magic.
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.

Black 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.
Daggers are far to light a weapon for Glioca to be exceptionally 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 capable with it. Time and training will improve her abilities.

Dark Magic.
Her only experience with dark magics thus far are void-related, very minimalistic, and rarely spoken of. ***

Hand-to-Hand.
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 or chi 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.  She prefers offensive and reflexive strikes to defense, and usually fights unarmed even when dealing with heavily armed and armored opponents.  At this time she makes excellent use of her enhanced conjury to field more precise blows on an opponent, leaving them totally disabled, or, in rarer cases when needed, to punch straight through their armor, or snap their weapons.  This is accomplished by increasing her muscle density without increases in muscle mass through the use of conjury by altering her body on a minute level, giving her far greater than average strength.  

Lances.
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.

Machines.
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-Flare 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. ***

Swordsmanship.
Out of necessity and a desire to further her training with the sword, a skill she previously lacked, Glioca 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, and instead rely solely upon a pair of blades.  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 prefers heavier blades to lighter ones, and would rather dual wield than wield a single blade, or as a compromise, wield a single large blade rather than a smaller one.

Stealth.
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 at it.

White Magic.
Upon first arriving in Eorzea, Glioca found herself wandering Gridania, and landed herself in the Twelveswood after a discourse with Mother Miounne, and ended up seeking out the Conjurer's guild.  With a natural skill with all things healing magic and the ability to draw on some nigh bottomless well of strength from inside herself, she began to adapt Conjury to a style of magics more familiar to herself, infusing her entire body with the aetheric energy drawn from outside herself, using it as more than simple healing magic, but also to hyper-reinforce her body, greatly boosting her physical strength and endurance, and moderately boosting her 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 White Mage.  Adapting magics learned in the other spheres of the vast multiverse, Glioca drew on magic that should be locked, and untapped the potential within herself for the path of the White Mage.  While she would never openly claim to be a White Mage, knowing that to be the purview of the horned Padjal, she will openly use magic that others are beginning to discover through self-study and investigation, and will freely spread what she knows among others who wish to learn, in a desire to continue to promote the spread of ancient knowledge, having seen first-hand how knowledge and its loss can affect the growth of a world or magical art.

Skills

Glioca's very long life, and certain life choices, have given her a more practical eye for the things one might create and the craftsmanship, attention to detail, and quality that one might place upon their work.  Rather than perfecting every combat skill, Glioca instead opted to pursue and perfect her skills in regards to the creation of items.  She considers her strongest points to be botany or gardening, alchemy and cooking, but neglected no other craft in favor of another, instead preferring to dedicate herself to each one equally.  In Eorzea, she sought out membership with each guild in order to maintain her level of capability, and indeed, improve upon techniques drawn from other places.

Alchemy
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.

Armorsmithing

Blacksmithing

Botany
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.

Carpentry

Cooking
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.

Fishing
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.

Goldsmithing
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.

Leatherworking
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.

Mining
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.

Weaving
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.

Relationships

Family ♥ Romance – ♥ Family A'rklonn Sargonnai ( ♥ ) - The Black Phoenix. While not her first love, A'rklonn is the love of Glioca's life, and the one person in all the worlds that she'd willingly walk into the Void for if something happened to him.  Despite whatever other relationships they have had, Glioca and A'rklonn have a long and lasting bond that has carried them through a marriage that's long even by ancient standards, and through the birth of their many children.  While she does not openly say so frequently, she both envies her husband for some of his life experiences, and admires him for his endurance and persistence despite all the ill that has happened to him during his similarly long life. She could think of no one else she would choose to spend her eternity with.  Vaelen Sargonnai ( ♥ ) - The Day without a Night. One half of the twins born of Glioca and A'rklonn, Vaelen is the more impulsive of the two. There is no doubt that Glioca has a more open affection for Vaelen than Aelden, if only because of the time spent together in Vae's youth. The two regularly engage in physical training together, with Glioca passing on some of her sword techniques to Vae, and Vae constantly challenging and pushing her harder as she grows more and more proficient with physical combat with a weapon. Aelden Sargonnai ( ♥ ) - The Night without a Day. The other half of the twins, Aelden is the more sedate and laid-back of the two boys. Glioca and Aelden are not as close, though they have similar hobbies and interests (the study of magic, especially). Glioca often sets Aelden to task at magical research and development of his own style of combat. Arkhiss Sargonnai ( ♥ ) - Merchant Queen of Scales. Vaelen's wife, and Glioca's daughter-in-law, she has great affection for the young woman, and treats her as she would any other child in the family. Arkhiss and Glioca haven't spent a great deal of time together, but she respects Arkhiss, having known her before she and her son were introduced. She has a great admiration for the woman's business sense. Anthya Sargonnai ( ♥ ) - The Librarian. Glioca adores Anthya, one of her adopted daughters from the land before they arrived in Eorzea. The affections between the two are often warm, sometimes teasing, sometimes competitive, but most often cooperative, especially in regards to scholarly pursuits. They share a love of books, tea, and continual expansion of knowledge. Siduris Sargonnai ( ♥ ) - Forged in Blood. Glioca has a great deal of respect for Siduris, who was originally the husband of a girl they had adopted into the family, who has since moved on and abandoned her ties to the Sargonnai. Siduris stayed, faithful and loyal, and she has almost as much affection for him as she does Vaelen and Aelden. The two regularly spar, and Glioca enjoys pushing Siduris to the boundaries of his capabilities and beyond them. She looks forward to greatness from him in the future. Ellemeare Sargonnai ( ♥ ) - The Baby of the Bunch. The most recent of her adopted children, and in fact, the last of them, Ellemeare is a girl that they met by circumstance, who has quickly become a treasured part of the family. Glioca and Elle are perhaps not as close as they could be, but the two share a great affection and warmth as Glioca tries to help get Elle used to their rather. . . unique family ideals.

Allies & Acquaintances ● Friendly – ● Neutral – ○ Acquaintance – ✔ Business – ✖ Deceased – ≈ Unsure Qina & Qata'li Tayunn ( ● ) - The Twins. A pair of miqo'te twins, female and male, Glioca views both of them from a motherly standpoint, and wishes she could do more the help the pair of them, knowing how difficult their situation has been and will only continue to become. Erimmont Chevalier ( ● ) - The Novelist. Glioca and Erimmont met through Nai, and quickly became fast friends. There is an obvious physical tension between the two, made no easier with Glio's constant teasing of him. Glio and A'rk offered Monty their couch and further, a place at the Phoenix Estate until he was ready to get back out in the world and deal with people. Nai Ruahki ( ●✔ ) - Sweet-toothed Kitten. Glioca met Nai at the Gold Saucer. Despite her usual distaste for Miqo'te, she found herself immediately fond of the young woman and her sweet tooth. She finds Nai's attitude toward Elezen and fondness for her kind to be both interesting and amusing. She hopes to one-day add her to the list of individuals she's closer to. Nai primarily comes to see Glioca for the sweets that the Elezen makes as part of Black Phoenix Oddities. R'tahz Tia ( ○ ) - Boy with a Lance. Glioca met R'tahz at his wedding to J'karu Rhome, after being given an invitation by an elderly gentleman in Coerthas. Curiosity prompted her to attend, and the two are only casually acquainted, though Glioca got a very positive first impression of the male. J'karu Rhome ( ○ ) - Hug all of the Cactaur. Glioca met J'karu at her wedding to R'tahz, after being given an invitation by an elderly gentleman in Coerthas. Curiosity prompted her to attend, and the two are only casually acquainted, though Glioca got a very positive first impression of the woman. She is in the process of creating a Sabotender Bailarina plush for the female miqo'te. Antagonists ● Poor Standing – ♦ Enemies Emeraven Stormrose ( ● ) - The Golden Phoenix. Once upon a time, Glioca and A'rklonn were in a relationship with Emeraven. The relationship fell apart, and she avoids the miqo'te female as much as possible.

Trivia

• Glioca is a shortened (and more feminine) form of the word Gliocas, which means 'Wisdom'.
• Glioca speaks with a very light accent, and tends to be very formal in her speech.
• This changes when she's in a battle stance, her speech becoming looser and mannerisms more wild.
• She has a very deep affiliation with the moon and anything to do with lunar phases.
• She enjoys some of the various herbs she cultivates as cigarettes from time to time, and she also has a pipe which she uses on rare occasions.
• She dislikes Miqo'te more than any other race, almost to the point of being openly racist, but does her best to not judge them as a whole.

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 and dimensional travel ala Shantotto, until we have hard and fast information from SE, she is considered to have traveled from a realm outside the Final Fantasy universe, and as such uses terminology not normally found in the games. She has been to more futuristic iterations of the world, and speaks about more complex or advanced forms of medicine that do not wholly fit into the current lore's scope of scientific discovery. Changes made to make her fit more accurately within the lore will be noted below

• Information added on skills in regards to Machine use (Machinist), Astrology (Astrologian), and Dark Magic (Dark Knight). Information will be adjusted as necessary after the release of Heavensward, to make it lore-compliant.

Recent Events

• Glioca was previously darker skinned and had violet eyes. After touching the Void, during entrance through a portal atop Syrcus Tower, Glioca's skin paled considerably, and the color has fled from her eyes.

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.
• She is a world-traveler, and has been all across the universe with the use of magic and other means of travel.
• Addendum: Feel free to treat her like she is insane if she says as much and your character doesn't or wouldn't believe in such things.
• Glioca is a skilled surgeon. I don't have a medical degree. I don't always type things one hundred percent accurate to real medical knowledge.
• If an aspect of RP makes you uncomfortable in a scene we're playing, please send me a /tell, letting me know. Communication is very important, more important than potentially keeping immersion.
• Tells are strictly used for Linkpearls, or OOC communications. I do not do general RP in /tells because I use it so heavily for these other purposes.

Additional Disclaimer

I realize that there is a certain stigma around playing a character who is a world-traveler. That said, Glioca tries her hardest to fit in about 99% of the time, and often refers to her homeland as somewhere tangible in Eorzea, given the way she traveled to the world. She 'claims' Doma as her place of birth and point of origin unless it seems like someone would be accepting of her history. Otherwise, she's traveled from Othard, and has lived in Eorzea for a while, having arrived before the Calamity by ship. Very little about her doesn't fit with the world as presented when interacting with others, and I appreciate it when people give me a chance while role-playing with her, instead of just dismissing her because of her unique origins.
