She was born in the city of Gridania, meeting other children to make friends with, and was often babysat by those children's parents while her own parents worked. Her brother and sister, twins, were born nearly three years after her, also Gridanian citizens, so she's had to share her parents almost her whole life. Sharing wasn't anything new to her after the twins were born. Shortly after the twins were born the entire family moved to Limsa Lominsa, her father having joined the Maelstrom. Fayne and her siblings were raised there in the city, getting schooling from their mother at home. They lived a fairly normal life while her father, Alden, provided for the family. As with any military, however, Alden was not home as often as any family oriented person would like to be. Because of this, Fayne did grow closer to her mother while growing, but also began showing signs of rebellion towards her but not her father. Perhaps this was because her mother, Mindred, was around just a little too often, or was more clingy than was intended. | + | | <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;"> [This story is still ongoing and incomplete.

− | Fayne otherwise adjusted pretty well. She was only about three cycles when she began smelling the salty air of the ocean and she learned to love it rather quickly, despite the difference from the smell of the forest. Growing up she got along with her siblings about as well as anyone would. She played with them, fought with them, defended them when other children were getting too rough. She loved them whole-heartedly, even if she didn't always agree with them.
| |
− | When Fayne turned ten winters old she was presented with her first bo-staff from her father. The little Hyuran girl couldn't believe it, she was incredible excited and ready to learn the same skills as her father.</div>

Alden was a self-proclaimed expert, and under his training Fayne grew quite skilled with it, along side her brother once he turned ten winters old. However, her brother took a higher interest in following his father's footsteps. He wanted to join the military and be just like his father. Fayne, on the other hand, wanted to live leisurely and take her time deciding on what she wanted to do. She was in no rush to decide who she was going to basically give her life to. Even into her later teen-age years she was unsure of what she wanted to do. All she knew was she fully enjoyed combat with the bo-staff. (At the very least, she thought that. She had never actually been in real combat up to this point in her life.)
| |
− | She otherwise grew up healthily and happily. Her parents were kind, though strict on her. She fought with her siblings but who doesn't? Unfortunately for the entire realm the time to live peacefully was short lived. When Fayne was sixteen winters, her father was sent to war to the Battle of Carteneau. Aldwin, Fayne's younger brother, was more than willing to join in the fight. Surely the militia would have had him as well, seeing how large this war had become. But his father convinced him to stay. "You are going to be the man of the house. It is up to you to protect the family here at home." No one was happy about it, but at least Fayne got to keep her younger brother.

− | Then the lesser moon, Dalamud, fell. She hadn't heard from her father since then.</div>

It was time to finally decide what she was going to do with herself. Her father wasn't coming back and she was the eldest in the family. With her mother working more than ever Fayne needed to do something to help. She had decided to put her skills with the bo-staff to use. Though she was far from mastering the style, and with Aldyn gone there was no one to teach her. So she decided to leave home and become a member of the lancers guild, where they could teach her more and possibly recruit her into the Woodwailers. Her mother, Mindred, was none too keen on the idea. She didn't want her little baby, her first born, to leave. She was only 16, hardly an adult. Though Fayne figured that was plenty old enough to get up and start living on her own. Besides she needed to do <i>something</i> and this was really the only thing she could do. She was no good at any craft.
| |
− | Against her mother's wishes Fayne returned to her birthplace to learn the polearm, combining it with her skill of the bo-staff, at the lancer's guild. This caused a strain between her and her mother, but Fayne knew in her heart she was doing something good. She was also doing something she loved.
| |
− | Fayne quickly found that living alone in the barracks made her lonely and homesick, having grown up with two siblings close to her age and on the sea where just about everyone was pretty tight knit. She tried being social, though the relationships never lasted long. There was just something about the elezen in Gridania that Fayne could never quite get past. For three years the Hyur stayed in Gridania but kept in contact with her family, learning of her brother joining the Maelstrom once he became sixteen summers. This scared the woman to death, never knowing what became of her father. What would become of her younger brother? What if another war happened on their homeland? After only three short years of training Fayne returned to Limsa Lominsa to stay with her family for a time before her brother left. She tried to get as much time as she could with him, as she might never seen him again. She stayed home after he left to keep her mother and sister company. She took on odd jobs and hunts to pay for a small boat house that she would dock in Limsa Lominsa so she could be near her mother, should anything happen.</div>

| |
− | | <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;"> With from her mother Fayne was able to put a down payment on a small boat house. This was good, in Fayne's opinion. She was back home in Limsa Lominsa, she would be living on the ocean that she loved and missed so dearly during her time in Gridania, but she didn't have to stay home with her mother who she still had a slight strained relation with. Now that Fayne was back in Limsa Lominsa she began taking on odd jobs and hunts from the Maelstrom so she would at least have work and a way to pay for things. Fayne called herself a freelancer. A convenient name after learning how to wield a pole-arm. Plus, it was basically what she was. She would put out her information and others would hire her for work.
| |
− | Mindred, her mother, wasn't too pleased with Fayne taking on these odd jobs, knowing that most of them were dangerous. It was scary for a mother to see not only her husband gone, but two out of three of her children were putting themselves in harm's way. However, they were adults now and Midred had little choice but to let them do as they pleased. What else could she do? She did make sure to have Fayne promise to keep herself alive and well.
| |
− | Taking on hunt marks from the grand companies Fayne became something of an adventurer. The Hyur was able to travel all around Eorzea. This led the woman to meeting some very interesting people. She made plenty of relationships, though none of them ever lasted very long. Strikingly similar to her time in Gridania. In fact, most of her meetings were one-nighters. Her friendships in general lasted this way for a short while, until she met a blond thaumaturge who needed a place to stay.</div>

A homeless thaumaturge who Fayne felt pity for and took in until he was able to get back on his feet. While living with him Fayne found herself growing close to Para. They became deep, close friends, someone she thought she could never lose. She could only assume he felt the same way about her. Or maybe she hoped it more than anything. The two of them worked together on odd jobs, Fayne taught him how to hide his natural hair color with hair dye, and Para taught her what it was like to have a lover - someone there to keep and care for her. Though nothing was ever made official between the two of them. Perhaps they felt it was better for them to just stay friends. Unfortunately for them it meant hardship was to come once the man was able support himself again. He left the boat house, leaving Fayne alone once again. But what was she supposed to do? He was his own man. She couldn't be angry or sad. This was their agreement.
| |
− | | |
− | About one cycle later Fayne had docked her boat next to a lovely Miqo'te couple, named Nel and Isilme Turuphant, and their lovely young daughter named Ilyanna. The Hyur learned that they were the founders of the Celestial Forge, a free company dedicated to helping the land of Eorzea and its people. The adventurer grew to know them well, visiting them often both at the Forge and their personal home. They offered her pay to help with jobs surrounding the Forge, and occasionally babysitting their daughter. Luckily for them Fayne loved children, and little Ilyanna was a well behaved little girl. She had been taught well. Fayne never thought she would have children of her own, but play time with Ilyanna was always a good time for her.
| |
− | While working for the Celestial Forge the freelancer-turned-babysitter found work helping the Sahagins as well. Clutchfather Novv and his clutch specifically. She grew close to them, forming a friendship with the clutch and eventually becoming a clutchmate herself. She helped bring the Sahagin beastmen and the Maelstrom towards being closer allies. However, the Coral Tridents - a separate tribe of Sahagin - did not find Fayne so amusing. The Coral Tridents were already forming a plan to rid themselves of this meddling Hyur.
| |
| | | |
− | [[File:Ffxiv 09102014 185041.png|thumb]]It was through the Forge that Fayne met Kailee Ivicus. They met on a mission to study voidsent, which came to a not great conclusion on account of Fayne herself, completely ruining the entire mission. Moons later Kaille and Fayne met again. Kailee was a free company leader herself, dedicated to teaching others of their own magickal talents and researching things that some might have questioned as... immoral. The Forge had decided to help Kailee through a critical time, one that had nearly killed her. Fayne felt absolutely powerless and pointless for this "mission" as well. She could do nothing but watch as the Forge worked critically under pressure, saving Kailee before Fayne could think to do anything. Mindless battle was more of her strong point, not thinking. Perhaps it was her lack of thought that prevented her from making any decisions. She had already ruined a mission with Kailee and she was so afraid to ruin this one as well.
| + | Ruby was a baby that never meant to happen, but it was such a miracle that she was, to both of her parents. Due to some time bending involved with Alexander, a sixteen year old Ruby came back to a time before she was born to save her own father from death at the blade of Cruse Chaser. Very shortly after, she returned back to her own time and a few months later, she was born in Limsa Lominsa. Two cycles later she had a little brother too! |
− | With the mission over the red headed woman needed support still to help her get through the night. Fayne, feeling ever lonely and wanting to help <i>somehow,</i> invited Kailee to stay with her on her boathouse. This was something hard for Kailee to do, though Fayne at the time knew not why. Kailee's past was riddled with harsh, damaging memories of Limsa Lominsa and pirates in general. Though Fayne did her best to comfort and sooth the other Hyur in her time of need. Fayne quickly fell for the redhead, and decided not to let her go. The feelings were unexpected, and possibly slightly skewed. Kailee allowed Fayne to get close which might have been Fayne's downfall later in their relationship. Fayne stayed close to her since then, visiting Kailee at her home in the Goblet quite often and taking her on dates. She knew the woman had a sort of fear of La Noscea, and worked to help her though that as well. Fayne was twenty-two cycles old when she finally had her first stable relationship.
| |
| | | |
− | A few moons after she had learned about The Celestial Forge the lancer finally met the mysterious third founder of the free company while visiting Nel and Isilme. Even though she never saw Nel or Isilme that day, she did get to know this new Miqo'te named Miya Sha. Miya had clearly been though some sort of encounter and seemed to have lost her memory. All Fayne could gather was that Miya had been gone for a very long time and something dreadful happened, though not even Miya knew what. She was willing to show Fayne her broken spear, that needed more than just tinkering to fix. There were some magickal properties to it that Fayne could not understand. The blue Miqo'te mentioned how important the spear meant to her, even if she never said the words exactly, it was clear on her face. Through this interaction alone, Miya's willingness to show something so sacred, Fayne found herself easily forming a bond with the Miqo'te. She took to calling her a lance-sister very quickly. This seemed to bring great joy to the seemingly broken Miqo'te. Fayne offered to let Kailee have a look at it, who agreed to see what she could do. | + | A sharp turn early in life nearly had her lost to the world. Shortly after turning two years old the toddler and her new baby brother were kidnapped by a strange fay creature and were taken to The First as captives in an attempt to harm their parents, Dante and Fayne. On top of being pulled into a different world, they had also been taken into the past - the past relative to The Source, anyway. While there she had to be saved by her parents, though they had no easy way back to their home world. While her parents lived as spirits in The First, Ruby and Sapphire were living with their bodies, and so practically grew up as pure citizens of The First - living without light and not much knowledge of The Source aside from what their parents and Nanny Alia could tell them.</div> |
− | | |
− | During this time Fayne's old friend Paradyme had become very ill, having gone through a lot in their two years apart. Deciding to visit him on a whim one day, Fayne found Paradyme on the floor on the upper level of his house, something very wrong with him. There was black ooze everywhere. Fayne, again not thinking, had no idea what to do and readied a call over the Forge linkpearl. Surely someone there could help her. Unfortunately no one answered. Fayne was practically in a panic, completely unaware of what to do in a situation like this. She didn't even know what the black ooze was. A few short moments later Paradyme woke, very groggy and still ill. Fayne did her best to bring the thaumaturge everything he needed.
| |
− | Fayne never fully understood what was going on with her friend, other than something from the voidsent was what was causing the problems. Knowing nothing of magick or the Void, Fayne was powerless to help.</div>

During an investigation of her own devices Fayne was captured by the Coral Tridents and was "drowned", becoming a thrall to their god, Leviathan. It was her birthday, having just turned twenty-three. She was missing for weeks, working alongside the Coral Tridents in their attempts to do away with the Maelstrom and help their god reign over the entire realm. Though Fayne did not live with Kailee at the time, the red-haired woman did find it very worrisome that Fayne had not even attempted to contact her for weeks.
| |
− | Paradyme was the first to find Fayne while out on a mission of his own. Though confused and concerned, he was glad to have finally found his old friend! At first, he didn't realize what had become of his dear friend until a thorough questioning, and he was forced into a battle with her if only to defend his own life. The fight between two old, close friends was too one sided. Fayne easily overpowered the thaumaturge who, in this fight, held back far too much. Trying out his new-found skill in being a pugilist he refused to use any magick on her. This was his mistake. He lost, wounded to a point near death. With the help of the black ooze he had been cursed with he was able to return home where he received aid and, as soon as he could, warned the Celestial Forge about Fayne and what had become of her. Kailee caught word and arrived to her location first, knowing full well what would happen. That things would not end peacefully. Isilme, Paradyme, and Liliana arrived moments later, though it was already decided how the interaction would turn out. Another battle ensued between only Fayne and Kailee, the lovers. The battle was once again very one sided. Only this time Kailee had the upper hand, using her special way of twisting magicks to better benefit her. This time Fayne lost, being frozen by her own blood nearly to death.
| |
− | | |
− | Fayne was brought back to Kailee's lab, where she sat while Kailee worked endlessly to find some way to break this tempering. The drowned looking Hyur was locked down there for moons on end. Though she was never tortured, only starved if only to make her cooperate. She was not alone, either. A mission was set up to acquire another tempered soul, this time a man under Ifrit's persuasion. This man was not so lucky, he could only wish starvation was his only treatment. Fayne watched the man go through numerous experiments, some painful. A solution was finally found; a fantasia with the assumption that perhaps the tempering clung to Fayne's Hyuran aspect and that maybe by changing her race she could return to normal. Though fantasias were scarce, and Kailee did not know the formula to make one. A few moons passed, and the scientist could not find a recipe that would work. Kailee went to obtaining the recipe through... undesirable means. She found that the ingredients needed were more complex and questionable, at best. Some needed to be so fresh, she waited until the last possible moment to begin brewing her first batch of the potion. It would about a week for the brew to finish. With only three days left, everything seemed lost when a gift was presented to Kailee. Miya had returned, offering a barb from the Whorl Eater himself. Both Fayne and Kailee were thrown into an uproar, one of rage and fear respectively. Fearing the brewed fantasia was now tampered with, Kailee was quickly rid of the barb and dismissed the Miqo'te, now needing to find some way to brew the potion faster, before things became worse for not only Fayne, but herself. Another solution was found in [[Kassandra Dawn]], an alchemist with questionable means. She was able to brew the fantasia with the questionable ingredients in only two days.</div>

− | | <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;"> [[File:Arui Fayne.png|200px|thumb|left|]]With two vials of fantasia now in hand, Kailee returned to her own lab and fed the tempered man the first. He was taken down and captured by Kailee and a team she had gathered some moons before to work as a test subject before using anything on Fayne. Fayne was the only important factor to Kailee. The man, weary and beaten from Kailee's experiments, put up no fight and drank the first bottle willingly, hoping it was some kind of poison. Shortly there after he grew not only in inches, but horns and a tail, similar to that of the Auri that had recently taken refuge in Eorzea. When he opened his eyes again he recalled his life before his tempering, and even after, but he pledged no allegiance to Ifrit, his former god. He claimed to remember seeing Ifrit. He remembered Ifrit calling to him, but he had no gods to worship now. Especially after what he had been through, and that he was no longer the man he used to be. In an absolute rush Kailee took the second bottle and immediately tried to give Fayne the drink. With the help of Dante, a member to the Forge, they had to hold down Fayne to get her to drink. The Hyur put up a fight, having nearly all of her energy and will after never being touched, just starved. Kailee had to force feed her own girlfriend the second potion. Something made Fayne drink it, though everyone is still not sure what. She went through the same transformation as the captive before her: growing horns on her head, scales in patches on her body, and even a tail from her spine. When she opened her eyes she had bright blue limbal rings around her usual blue eyes. The now Au Ra almost immediately broke down in tears, only beaten to it by Kailee herself. | + | | <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;"> [This story is still ongoing and incomplete. Will update as story develops.]</div> |

− | Things slowly began returning to normal after that. Fayne reintroduced herself to old friends, showing what had become of her after six moons of being gone. Few were able to believe it was her at first. She was even able to catch up on what had been going on with their lives, both good and bad. The Celestial Forge was growing, though Paradyme... Paradyme had seen better times indeed.
| |
− | | |
− | Still growing used to her new attributes Fayne began to build her strength back up with lots of practice with an old bo-staff and the striking dummy in Kailee's yard. She even visited Ishgard along side Kailee while the scientist learned of a new magick. This was where Fayne learned of the Order of Dragoons. She found an interest in the Order and told herself that as soon as she was strong again, she might look into joining their ranks. For the time being she was found by Aytienne and was introduced to Clan Centurio. Finding it was similar to her job before of picking up hunt marks for the grand companies she began taking up hunt marks for the Clan. This was perfect, as she was too afraid to return to the grand companies after becoming someone completely different from who they knew. She also feared they would never believe how she became the way she was now. They would either believe she was still tempered despite her claims, or have her (Kailee and Kassandra) thrown in jail for using illegal means of fixing her. However, as moons went by Fayne found herself digging a monotonous trench between hunting for the Clan and returning home to Kailee, who staid at home in her lab most of the time. Fayne, for a time, thought she was okay with this. She fell more and more in love with Kailee each time she saw her. Even more so after Fayne had to be treated for an electrical wound, which Kailee promptly took care of.

− | [[File:Fayne's scar sheet 1.jpg|200px|thumb]] One day while Fayne was out hunting, daring to take on a mark out in the Churning Mist, the Au Ra was ambushed by a large, black dragon. It was her first time out so far away, and she knew the dangers, but she wasn't prepared to fight a full fledged dragon. Not yet. She was tired after taking down a mark already stronger than what she was used to. She was no match for the dragon, and it pinned her down on the ground, nearly crushing her leg to bits. She called to the Blades of Light for help. This was the free company created by the very same [[Dante Redstone]] that helped Kailee when Fayne refused to take her fantasia. Dante was the one to answer, and came immediately to her side. He took down the dragon by surprise, though not before it let out a terrible lightning attack, electrocuting Fayne. She survived, but was burned and half crushed. Dante took her back to Kailee, who calmly handled the matter, and Fayne was left with beautiful lightning shaped scars, forever reminding the Au Ra of the encounter.
| |
− | | |
− | At this point it seemed like Fayne was knocked back a few steps every time she tried something. Though there was one thing she knew she couldn't mess up. Lunch with Dante, to thank him for saving her life. She thought she couldn't mess up something so simple, but she was wrong. During their conversation some feelings from Dante came to light, and Fayne came to a few realizations of her own. She couldn't return his feelings, but she began to question her own relationship with Kailee. She realized her time with the scientist was far too long in between, and even when she was at home, Kailee was always dealing with some sort of experiment or study. They almost never saw each other. Sure the time they did spend together was good, but was it worth it? Was their relationship actually going anywhere? Was Fayne going to be happy with Kailee, and was Kailee going to be happy with her? The more she thought about it, the more Fayne came to realize that maybe her and Kailee were not the best match.
| |
− | | |
− | She was hurt. She loved Kailee, she honestly did, and she owed the woman her life. Though now she owed Dante as well. This dumb-ass of an Au Ra was a mess up at every turn. Letting herself become tempered; relying on everyone else to save her because she was too stupid to prepare herself properly. She was too dumb to protect herself even after preparing herself, she thought. She wasn't strong enough. Kailee was such a smart woman and could do so much better than someone who constantly messed up, or couldn't even help out in the lab. Fayne was just too stupid. Even Cailin, a brilliant young Miqo'te who excelled in magick, would have been a better match for the scientist. It was a shame the kitten was already taken.
| |
− | | |
− | With a heavy heart, Fayne told Kailee how she felt. How she wanted to leave, to try and help the both of them. She thought it would be better for Kailee's productivity. Fayne had her own needs, as Kailee did, and she just didn't feel they could help each other anymore. Kailee did not feel the same way, and promptly rid herself of the Au Ra who caused her far too much grief. Fayne agreed, and spent the next moon trying to drown her emotions at the Quicksand.</div>

| |
− | | <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;"> Fayne just couldn't take the loneliness any more. Wasting her money on booze and not working to make up for it, she made a desperate call to [[Dante Redstone]]. Gods was she in a state when he got to her. He took her back to the Blades of Light Free Company house, where he gave her proper food and a proper bed, where she finally got a proper bath and a good night's rest after pouring her heart out. She missed Kailee so much, but it was her own decision and she had to live with it. She couldn't go back, now convinced that Kailee hated her. They no longer saw each other, they never once tried to get in contact with each other, and Fayne tried her best to avoid the scientist in order to keep from hurting either of them any further than she already had.
| |
− |
| |
− | Dante was a good rock on which Fayne could find her footing again. Her life slowly came back together. She started hunting again, bringing gil back and using it to help pay back Dante and the Blades for taking her in when she needed somewhere to stay. After living with Dante for a few moons a question was brought up. "What are we?" Dante had every right to be curious. They had been intimate before, and she knew he had feelings for her, she just wasn't sure how to process her own feelings just yet. She wasn't ready to love again, but perhaps dating could help clear her mind a little better. Dante was kind enough to her already. She trusted him. She needed him.
| |
− |
| |
− | However that trust was put to the test almost immediately. One night after a particularly bad nightmare involving Leviathan, Fayne woke up startled half to death, clinging to Dante as if he was the only shield that could protect her. He was, in a sense, as he was the one to wake her and save her from a dream she failed to wake herself up from. Worried Leviathan might have a stronger hold on Fayne than anticipated, Dante proposed an idea: Similar to Kailee's own experiment to rid the void sent in her mind cycles ago, why could they not do the same with Fayne and rid the Primal's taint from her for good? It was an impossible thought, and a seemingly impossible task, though Dante set his plans in motion regardless. He desperately wanted to help.
| |
− |
| |
− | Dante called up an old friend, knowing full well Kailee would reject the proposal out right (due to past experience, not bitterness), Alia offered a way to do just as Dante thought. The lalafell knew of a way to project, in a sense, someone into another's mind. If she could pull it off they could essentially fight the primal and ban him from the Au Ra's mind for good. This was, of course, dangerous and not to be reproduced to the public. If anything went wrong, more than just the persons involved would not return from the fight. Dante of course volunteered to fight the Primal, no questions asked. Fayne was not comfortable with him going alone, and suggested that the Kitten, Cailin, join him in the fray. She was practically a master at white magick (in Fayne's eyes) and would be there at the very least to make sure Dante returned back uninjured.
| |
− |
| |
− | Understanding what it meant if they failed the two agreed to go in anyway. They were given a week to prepare, including saying goodbye to family and friends.
| |
− |
| |
− | Cailin and Dante entered into Fayne's mind to find themselves in a dream like world. Perfectly normal at first, but something was always off. A Hyuran Fayne there to greet them, which made sense. Fayne was born Hyuran, and probably still saw herself as one. Though things quickly turned into a nightmare when Leviathan (or his projected hold on her mind) showed up and tried to drown the rescue team. Luckily, being only a projection, Dante's and Cailin's minds were too strong. Though they were not without a struggle. For a full day in Fayne's mind, though it only felt like hours, were the two pitted against a fight with Leviathan to free Fayne from his grasp. Upon waking up again they did not argue going right back to sleep to rest from their endeavor.

| |
− | [[File:Fayne Firestar 10 30 2016 11 02 25.jpg|200px|thumb|]]Moons later, after living with Dante and working a little bit for him, Fayne had begun to properly date Dante. After saving her life twice now and becoming a very close friend she grew to trust him with her entire being. She allowed herself to become close to him. Her feelings began to match those she had felt for Kailee or Paradyme. Maybe even more so. She did not doubt her love for them, though Dante's was... stronger, some how. So much so that she decided she would not let this one go. She couldn't. Not again. After moons of living together and falling in love, Fayne proposed to Dante. At twenty-four cycles of age, Fayne had decided to settle down with the love of her life.
| |
− | They were wed on the fifth sun of the Sixth Astral Moon. (11/5/16)
| |
− |
| |
− | Fayne is not afraid to say it was the best day of her life. Surrounded by friends she loved, old and new, even some faces she was surprised to see. The Au Ra was so glad to have them all there to share the most important day of her life. The day she gave her life to Dante.
| |

− | <blockquote><i>"I know no one saw me gettin' hitched like this. I guess I just don't seem like the kind of person. But I'm here now because I chose ye, Dante.
| |
− | Dante Redstone. Ye've done nothin' but love me ever since, well, before ye ever took me into yer home. When I was washed up on the shore of loneliness with nothin', ye were there. Ye helped me through the darkest storms of my life, and saved me from drownin'.
| |
− | ...Yer now the best friend I could never hope fer. More than that really. I hope to stand with ye both in battle and in fun. I want to be yer's through thick and thin. No matter what. Today I hope to stand by yer side as yer wife, forever and fer always."</i></blockquote>
| |
− |
| |
− | Fayne couldn't have been any happier. Finally she had found someone she could spend the rest of her life with. She wouldn't be lonely anymore. She had found someone who loved her for her. No matter how many times she messed up. No matter how stupid she may have been. No matter what she looked like. Dante was the home she had been searching for for such a long time. Even when she didn't know it.[[File:Fayne Firestar 11 05 2016 23 35 53.jpg|200px|thumb|left]]
| |
− |
| |
− | As for the honeymoon, plans had been in the works for some time even before the wedding. Fayne had been working vigorously with the Centurio Clan to earn enough coin that they might travel safely and comfortably. Her tiny little boat house was not going to do it. So, placing it in the hands of Alia once more she set out to find a much more suitable boat for the job. She failed. Though only in that her new husband was able to find a ride much quicker than her. An old friend of his who had happened to have been docked for some time was readying to set sail once more to far off lands. Only one thing could have been more convenient, that being if his parents had miraculously docked once more after having visited so recently. Alas, no such luck, but the captain and the crew of the ship they did find was more than enough.
| |
− |
| |
− | They were not, of course, expected to stow away with them for free. Fayne's gil was only good enough to grant them passage onto the boat. She would of course need the rest of it for activities and entertainment off of the boat wherever and whenever they decided to hit land. Dante and Fayne were both given jobs on the boat. They were to become part of the crew, as it were, to help motivate and keep spirits high. Fayne was given the job of "keeping the crew happy." Something her husband, and her reputation, said she was good at.
| |
− |
| |
− | [[File:DanteandFayne.png|200px|thumb|]]Their travels took them all over the Jade Sea, though the bulk of their journey was held in Othard. At the time, Doma had only recently been overtaken by the Garleans. As a result they were very cautious around the capital. They instead opted to explore the other parts of the country. They explored the land for what it was worth, learned the culture, tried new things, discovered themselves and were somehow met with an old Ishgardian soldier. A retired dragoon, to be precise.
| |
− | Not much is known about his character, however Fayne became very interested with him when she was offered special training. She had always been curious as to how a man could jump so high into the sky, and now she had probably the only opportunity she would to learn how to do it herself.*
| |
− |
| |
− | <small>*''[I have to reiterate what is said below, a lot of Fayne's story is left intentionally blank for one reason or another. In this case, it is that she was sent off for me to have a hiatus from RPing with her to reduce stress in my life. She was originally going to come back as a dancer once the new expansion 4.0 was released with the assumption that Dancer was going to be released. With dancer never being announced, her fall back story of becoming a dragoon was set in motion. This part of her life will be left very vague until further development.]''

| |
− | After six moons away from home, Dante and Fayne finally returned to the realm of Eorzea. They took some time to readjust to their home life again, being greeted and welcomed home with a very warm, welcoming family of friends from Dante's free company. After a time however, it seemed The Blades of Light needed a little more help and man power. It seemed at the same time Kailee's potion shop was a little low on funds. Dante and Kailee had decided it would be best for the two of them to join forces and combine their efforts. They created a new free company, calling themselves Blade and Tonic. Together their free company was able to work past their differences and learn to help each other. Dante worked and handled manual labor, continuing his ideal of a free company to help Eorzea where he could. Small job and leves for the adventurous type was his forte. While at the same time Kailee found the much needed funds and location for her growing potion shop. Things were looking up for the new free company. Though maybe not the same for Fayne.
| |
− |
| |
− | Of course there was a strain between Kailee and Fayne. Though they seemed to silently agree not to interact much unless necessary. It may have not been the healthiest of ways to deal with their discourse, but it seemed to be working well enough for things to not blow up and fall apart. The two women agreed it was best if they only worked as business partners. Kailee was not above using old relationships to further her research.</div>

| |
− | | <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;"> Fayne tried not to think too much about her ex-girlfriend basically moving into the new free company, and instead threw herself into working with the Centurio Clan once again. She hunted for weeks at a time, sometimes months. The less she was around Kailee the better, or so she kept telling herself. Of course this began to put a strain between her and her now husband Dante. What was more stressful was Fayne's interest picking up in the Order of Dragoons once again. And at good timing too, for at last the opportunity was presented to her.
| |
− |
| |
− | While out hunting the Au Ra came across a group of knights and a noble traveling from Ishgard to the Anyx Trine on business with the dragons. Unfortunately for them, a sort of ambush was planned from a left-over member of The Hoard. A mid-sized black dragon attacked them. Fayne happened to be nearby and decided it was really time to test out her new dragoon skills as she learned them in Othard. Now was the time to prove herself, to show herself that she could be something better. To show that she could rise up above herself, and finally make up for being such a failure.
| |
− | Jumping from a nearby cliff she demonstrated her new learned skills, fighting the dragon one on one without much of a thought for her own safety. The battle was short lived, though intense none-the-less. It took a few jumps to get the beast down. Though when it finally fell Fayne found herself confronted by a noble of House Dzemael. He requested her company for dinner the night he returned from his meeting with the dragons. Fayne obliged, and quite to her surprise was offered the opportunity of a life time. The opportunity to become a real Dragoon knight. She almost couldn't believe it; her, an Au Ra and never once Ishguardian native, was offered a position in the Order of Dragoons. Before she knew it Fayne was standing in the hall with the rest of the Order, receiving orders and beginning her training. Finally, at only twenty-four cycles, Fayne had acquired a real career and a husband who did more than just take care of her.
| |
− | [[File:Fayne Firestar 04 01 2017 00 05 38.jpg|200px|thumb|]]Weeks later she received her very own Dragoon mail, the signature armor of the Dragoons. As much as she hated uniforms and armor, Fayne didn't mind this one so much.
| |
− | Her only complaints were it was a little heavy, and ''Twelve'' was it fucking cold. It provided no protection from the snow, showing off her belly and thighs. Training, she found, helped with that. She had no time to stop to shiver and shake, having to constantly keep up with her jumps and exercise. The Order kept her warm enough. At least while she was working.
| |
− | Down time inside the barracks was always cold, though not because of the snow. Of the other Dragoons, a majority (if not all) of them were Ishgardian born and raised and were originally not so welcoming of the Au Ra as a whole into the realm. So naturally they were not the kindest to Fayne. Of course they did not outright reject her, if only because she was in fact part of the Order. Though she found no friends during her time in Ishguard, save but one of her commanders.
| |
− | Things began to pile up on Fayne, stressing her out more than was necessary. She loved her new job as a dragoon, but she felt so alone at the same time. She was home when she could be, spending a month or so at a time with Dante and then spending a month or two in Ishgard or hunting for the Order of the Dragoons, which sometimes meant dragons. Time with her husband never seemed like enough, and so Dante decided it was time for a break. He took her on a nice date to help her relax, at least a little. He took her to the beach of the Mist housing area, somewhere she had missed going to. Twelve was that small date needed. Some time with her husband, dinner and drinks on the beach, a bit of swimming under the night sky. And a little extra surprise to take home.</div>

She looked strikingly similar to Fayne, and that seemed to only jar Fayne slightly. Dante appeared completely unphased and maybe even unaware. Though Fayne had come to expect nothing bothered Dante anymore. The only real differences Fayne could spot off the bat was Ruby's green eyes and naturally brown hair. Which was strikingly similar to Dante. Weird.
| |
− |
| |
− | Dante had met this girl in Limsa Lominsa wearing... not the best clothing for adventuring or otherwise. A white t-shirt and a skirt. She approached him and asked if she could join his free company. Dante offered a position after seeing her out on the field to see what she could do, but not before taking her shopping for some better clothes. She was a pugilist; a skirt was not proper gear to be doing kicks and flips in. After equipping her with some proper clothes they went off on a leve together, though the shopping seemed to have had quite the effect on Ruby. She seemed rather emotional. There was just something about her that Dante just couldn't figure out.
| |
− |
| |
− | Ruby was a very lovely person to be around despite how similar she looked to Fayne. She was outgoing, strong, independent, and rather mature for her age. She claimed having been raised in Limsa Lominsa though she had no obvious accent. She was also quite intelligent, seeming to know quite a bit about both magickal and physical styles of battle. Even combining the two in her own combat. She punched with explosive fire to back up her fists. Dante liked hanging out with her, and after recruiting her into Blade and Tonic, began taking her out on missions with him.
| |
− |
| |
− | Going out on missions with Ruby, while Fayne was out in Ishgard tending to her Dragoon duties, was how it was learned that Ruby was quite protective of Dante. Very much so after learning he was planning on going into Alexander for an expedition. She tried again and again to tell him not to go. Fayne was never really too keen on the idea either, given her past experiences with primals. Though neither never really gave a good enough reason as to why not to go in. Ruby especially had no reason to offer other than "it's dangerous!" Which, of course Dante already knew. That's why it was a reconnaissance mission more than anything else. He wanted to see how Alexander worked, and maybe even find some loot to take back. He wanted to implement his findings into his own smithing at home. As far as Dante was concerned, Alexander was passive and asleep. There was no reason to fear it.</div>

| |
− | |-
| |
− | | <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;"> It had been planned for a while, so Dante's idea to go into the supposedly asleep primal Alexander to search for parts and bits for the free company's air ship was going to happen no matter what anyone told him. Gathering up a crew of his most trusted companions (his wife Fayne, his sister Dyna, Arik, Tuli and most recently added member of the free company Ruby) he set off to Idyllshire to start the trek to Alexander. Only really Ruby and Fayne were oppose to the endeavor but went along with it anyway. There was no talking him out of it once he put his mind to something. At the very least they would have to keep themselves on high alert at all times. On top of that, Fayne didn't feel good. She had felt nauseous the entire morning. The entire week if she were honest with herself. But she had to be there for Dante's sake, so she said nothing and pretended everything was okay.
| |
− |
| |
− | Once inside Alexander, the crew did find a few good pieces to take back home. Fayne was able to keep her upset stomach under control. There was hardly any security to deter them from their mission. At least that was until Fayne accidentally dragged her hand across a wall and a button or trigger of some kind that set off alarms. Great. Good job Fayne - messing up again. With alarms now blaring and lights going bonkers a small group of defense bots fell from the ceiling to begin extermination of whatever had trespassed. They didn't care who or what it was. It needed to be dealt with. At the same time, the door behind the crew was beginning to close. With a mad dash one by one the team headed through the closing door, Dante being sure he was the last to escape and keeping everyone else safe. The only one with a problem about it was Ruby, which did not go unnoticed by Fayne. But there was no time to argue.
| |
− | Seeming to be safe for the moment in the hallways of Alexander, Dyna began berating whoever it was that flipped the switch. She didn't really care who it was, it was their fault and they needed to be punished for it. Now they needed to find some way out without getting killed. Fayne tried to argue but really had no strength for it. She still felt ill, and Dante was beginning to notice. So instead of arguing Dante suggested they focus their energy on finding a way out. That's what Arik was there for, as the navigator of the insides of Alexander. So looking at the map he had acquired from some gobbies Arik led them down a path he thought would take them out. With everyone out of the room and now on a detour down a slide of some kind they all ended up in a rather large room with nothing but the platform they had all landed-on and... a giant crystal?
| |
− | Unfortunately for them this was no safe space. This was in fact the heart of Alexander and battle grounds to one of the strongest defense mechanisms he had. Cruise Chaser had descended upon them, and there was no room to escape. They had no choice but to fight. And fight they did, almost to their life's expense. Ruby was the only one noticed that was truly panicking, however. Everyone kept their nerves sharp and kept their wits about them as they fought for their lives. During the fight Dante had become distracted, probably to help Fayne, and in his oversight missed the tell of Cruise Chaser coming down on him for a slash to the head. The only thing saving his life was Ruby calling for him with the word "Daddy!"
| |
− | [[File:1106172245.jpg|200px|thumb|left]][[File:IMG 20170626 125206.jpg|200px|thumb]]It caught everyone off guard, but it was enough to stop Dante in his tracks and instead of becoming beheaded, was just slashed across the face. This was still enough to piss off Fayne enough to enrage her. Ignoring everything her body was telling her she charged the damn robot. If you asked her now, she would tell you she was sure everyone else helped, but all she can remember is attacking the thing with all her might and finally finishing it off with a number of jumps to the face, spine and all around the mechanical monster.
| |
− | With the mechanical monster finally dead Fayne rushed to help her husband. Dyna rushed to him as well with the med-kit in hand. This was more or less her job in this whole expedition. Though Dante was having no part of it as he looked to Ruby, who was still a distance off with obviously something to hide. He was angry and demanded answers. Though just as Ruby began to explain, the entire crew was surrounded by a blinding light. When they could see again, they found themselves on the same platform, but surrounded by sky. It wasn't hard to notice the spirit of Alexander directly in front of them. They had been teleported to the soul of Alexander and in their shock the Primal told Ruby it was time for her to go.
| |
− | With a heavy heart Ruby explained everything. How she was from the future, how she was from a future without Dante, and how it affected Fayne so badly that she had been taken over by a voidsent and everything was dark. She explained that she was their daughter and was sent back in time to try and save at least Fayne and Dante's future, though she understood it was a time parallel and her own future may not exist anymore. She was willing to do that if it meant saving her father. Before any other questions could be asked, Alexander whisked her away back to her own time, and returned everyone else back to the outside. Their mission was now complete, weather they wanted it to be or not, and Dante and Fayne were returning home with the knowledge that they were going to be parents.

The next nine months were going to be a trip considering Fayne had never even planned to become pregnant. But now that she was she was pretty happy about it. At least at the start. She struggled a bit along the way with the side effects of being pregnant; tired all the time, always craving food, and her hormones were running off the charts. Everything made her sad and she wanted to have sex all the time. Luckily, she had a husband to help with at least that last part. Cailin was also a big part of Fayne's pregnant life. Cailin was a healer, and while she was using Fayne's opportunity to learn about pregnancies, she was also there to be a friend. She was probably the most understanding about a lot of Fayne's situation. About what happened between her and Kailee, and having a baby now. Cailin was never the judgy type, and that was what made her such a perfect midwife and friend during Fayne's hardest times.
| |
− | [[Liliana Stone]] was also a very good friend and midwife during Fayne's pregnancy. She trusted the white haired hyur with all medical emergencies and had been to her multiple times in the past for any injuries she may have gotten while she was in Ishguard.
| |
− | [[File:DanteFayneprego.png|200px|thumb]]When the Au Ra found out it wasn't a good idea for her to dye her hair though, Fayne nearly had a panic attack. She <i>loved</i> dying her hair. It wasn't that she didn't like her natural hair color, she just like the flamboyant, bright colors better. But she went without, tying up her hair in buns and pony tails to keep it out of her face, letting the color fall out, not even trying to style it for... all of the nine months it seemed. She did still do her makeup, when she felt like it. Though it seemed the whole of the nine months was uneventful besides her tummy growing.
| |
− | She was even blessed one day to a day of being treated like a princess. She was catered to her every need, including getting dressed that morning and being fed. Dyna and Cailin were the ones to tend to her in the beginning, until she was finally led to her husband, who had been waiting hours just to see her that day. Twelve could she be any luckier? ''How could I,'' she thought, ''have it so good after all I have done?''

− | At some point that love further evolved into Dante getting Fayne a present. She was gifted with a new friend and companion. A ferret who she lovingly named Zero. He was dubbed the new brother of Precious Cargo, Dante's red panda. Fayne loved Zero to death and the two of them grew close rather quickly. Zero even grew quite fond of the growing baby and began growing defensive of both Fayne and Ruby. He would try to battle dance at anyone who he didn't recognize and came too close to his charge. Though he was ultimately harmless. Probably feeding off of Fayne's feelings of anyone she met for the first time.

− | Once the Au Ra became quite fat with child she was bound to her new home shared with Dante. While she was bored out of her mind, her husband came to give her company and lots of attention. Though it was with a heavy heart that he told her he had been having nightmares about Cruse Chaser and how he had almost died that day. What if Ruby wasn't there to save him? Well, they already knew what would have happened. And it wasn't pretty. Dante was filled with guilt and his new face scar began to hurt, as if the thought alone was enough to remind the wound it even existed. Fayne reached up without thinking, gently gliding her thumb over the scar as if she could just touch it better. To both of their surprise that is exactly what happened. Dante looked at her in slight shock, telling her the pain was now gone. The scar was still fresh enough, but it no longer hurt. If anything, he felt a warm flow from her fingers, as if she had used a cure spell of some kind. Fayne didn't believe believe him. She had never been able to use magick, or really aether at all. Even when she was Hyur. She was always disoriented just porting out to a different location. How could she be using any healing magick?

− | They went to Kailee and Cailin for some answers. Kailee could only imagine it had something to do with the baby, but seeing as how she was not allowed to run any tests or experiments, she couldn't say for sure. Though Cailin had to agree. Perhaps there was something about the baby, who had to feed off of Fayne in the first place, maybe the baby was feeding something back? That was all they could think was going on.
| |
− | Regardless, Dante and Fayne fell more in love by the ilm of her tummy, with both the baby and each other, which they thought was impossible already. They announced their pregnancy to anyone who cared, and received lots of help from Cailin and Dyna, who basically became midwives to Fayne. They became very important when baby Ruby finally arrived on the 6th Sun of the First Umbral Moon. (2/6/18)[[File:0208181322.jpg|200px|thumb]]

− | After the birth and Fayne had had some time to recover, Fayne returned to the Dragoons proper. It was suggested that Fayne learn how to handle her new magickal ability a little better. Fayne, being as stubborn as ever, decided it was not as important and returning to her life as a dragoon was the best thing she could do not only for herself, but to help support a new baby. It was hard not being around her new daughter, and she had many lonely nights and many many <i>many</i> calls home over the linkpearl.

− | It was unfortunate then that not even a year after the little one's birth that war broke out between the Eorzean Aliance and Garlamald. Fayne was fortunate enough to not be called to arms of that war specifically, but her time in Ishgard increased tenfold. With so many Ishgardian troops now defending Eorzea as a whole, the Dragoons were counted on as the soul defenders of Ishgard from any dragons that still harbored a hatred for Ishgard and man as a whole. Because of this, Fayne had been called to spend all of her time in Western Coerthas to help defend against the Dragon Hoard. Now out with her fellow Dragoons her life was put on hold. She couldn't see her husband or her baby, missing Ruby's first birthday. One good thing that did come out of her time at war was her full potential for her [https://faybexiv.tumblr.com/post/178437614693/hidden-power new magickal powers].

− | | <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">With the war coming to a head and the news of Zenos Yae Galvus seeming returning from the dead, the priorities of the Eorzean Alliance had changed. Fayne was sent home under the orders of resting and revitalizing herself for possible coming moons of war. Though neither the Order of Dragoons or Fayne knew what was going to come of her after finally being home with her family again. Fayne spent the first night home, and many nights there after, with her husband. They were practically inseparable for weeks. Even during the day her daughter Ruby was on one hip while Dante was practically attached to the other. Of course after the initial "tension" had finally been released, Fayne took to Limsa Lominsa to have a good ol' time at her favorite watering hole The Drowning Wench and then to the Gold Saucer to let herself have some fun while she could. She got drunk, played away a lot of her winnings in an attempt to get that fancy new mount the Gold Saucer had just released, and then found herself incredibly sick one morning. | + | | <div style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:13px;">[This story is still ongoing and incomplete. Will update as story develops.]</div> |
− | She popped her head up from the loo in shock. The sickness felt familiar to her. She had felt the same way before she found out she was pregnant with Ruby. Though this was much more intense and she had only been home for a moon and a few weeks. Surely this wasn't the same thing. No, surely this was because she had been drinking? She went to [[Cailin Rhaksal]] again just to confirm her suspicions. To her shock and surprise she was, in fact, pregnant again. Well, she supposed that's what she got for not taking her usual medication and then coming straight home to be with her husband.

− | The next nine months or so went about the same as while she was pregnant with Ruby. Pretty uneventful. While home she took up working for Dante's free company The Skyforge Sirens. He had taken up the mantle and free company on his own after Kailee had mysteriously vanished. Fayne would take up being co-owner, and she was in a sense, but she would not be able to keep up with her duties while she was in the Order. Though she was forced to semi-take over when Dante also mysteriously vanished. The stress practically hit Fayne in the face immediately. So she took on small jobs that didn't require a lot of lifting, and did do her best to lead a company with a lot of help from [[Dyna Redstone]], Dante's sister. Fayne was mostly there for transport purposes, providing chocobos and carts. A mover, more or less. Though it was during one of these outings that she was reunited with an old Dragoon friend of her's. And she was lucky to have done so. She was very pregnant during this time and was transporting goods through dangerous territory in Northern Thanalan. She would need some protection while she was porting goods for the Garlond Ironworks and [[Exena Lynvelir]] was the perfect help.

− | [[File:ZQyLr1T.png|200px|thumb|left]]She was lucky things went well enough, and shortly after she had her second born. A boy named Sapphire. He looked just like his mother; black hair, blue eyes, and the same bluish-black scales and horn nubs just like mommy. Dante had also returned just in time. Apparently during one of his experiments with Allagan technology he had been sucked into a completely different world known as "The First." He had his own adventures while there, a lot of which Fayne was struggling to understand. He had apparently fought his other self, absorbed them and now he had some sort of Voidsent in his head? Fayne could only relate to having a primal in her head, so she could empathize some, but she was completely distraught when Dante decided to leave <i>again</i> just to keep Fayne, Ruby, and their unborn child safe. He apparently felt safe enough around himself roughly one moon later, just in time to see his first son be born. It was then that he introduced a lovely Miqo'te looking woman with bio-mechanical limbs named [[Aspen Allspice]].

− | <p>As soon as she was able Fayne went back to work for the Order of Dragoons. Again, she would be out and about, missing her family desperately. Though this time she swore she would be home for Ruby's second birthday. She wasn't sent off to war, and had some time off regardless of having just returned from maternity leave. Sometimes she wondered if the Order gave her time just to keep her away from them. Though they could not deny her skill with a lance. During her time back, before she was sent off to fight for a second time, Fayne was given a job she was not too proud of. One she was already akin to during her time pregnant with her son. That's right; she was a delivery Dragoon. ''I can't believe they would waist a dragoon's skill like this,'' she thought, though did her 'job.' But she could not complain about the people she met while delivering goods around Coerthas as a whole. Especially during one trip to the ''First Dicasterial Observatorium of Aetherical and Astrological Phenomena''. Or The Observatorium for short. While there during a horrendous snow storm Fayne was caught and spent the night, meeting and getting to know a beautiful little Raen girl named [[Rinza Hatsuyuki]]. Another healer, of sorts, but also surprisingly a skilled samurai.</div>
