She has held a number of occupations in her considerably long life, and current resides in Ul'dahn territory in the Goblet, where she and her husband run the Rising Phoenix Free Company, a mercenary guild that is slowly gaining traction. Aside from her position as leader of the company, she is the business mind and often the labor behind Black Phoenix Oddities, the shop which is the front for their company, and their off-again on-again primary source of income. When not serving in either of these two capacities, she spends much of her time training her mental and physical attributes, and only recently has she begun once again delving into the deeper world of alchemical cooking, a passion of hers.</div></div>

Her hair is naturally white after an incident with the void, though sometimes dyed black, 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 barrette. Her eyes are a stormy shade of gray, and she bears a single scar upon her face, stretching up over her left eye, and down to the middle of her cheek. The frame of her body is a mixture of the supple curve of a well built woman, hard muscle from many hours training, and the overall complexion and health of her exemplary diet, given her enjoyment of cooking. Her forehead was once marked with six white symmetrical dots. She recently stopped painting these marks on her skin, instead preferring to move on from their representation in her life. 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, as the woman has easily seen more than the usual years of an Elezen of age, a lifespan is attributed to the unique aetheric condition that affects her, as well as the ability commonly known as the Echo. </div>

| − | <div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#585350;font-family:Georgia;">Intelligent. Friendly. Inquisitive. Grim. All of these words have been used to describe Glioca at one point or another. A woman who, in her youth was a quiet and studious intellectual, events in her life have given her a more serious and distanced outlook on life. She's very open-minded and eager to learn anything and everything she can, whether it be about people, magic, combat; she's very much a sponge, waiting to absorb whatever knowledge she's immersed in. Despite her perceived melancholy, 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, the deep paths of the Shroud, the cluttered streets of Ishgard, or the wide open spaces of Dravania: if there are sights or people to be found, Glioca will be there eventually.</div>

| − | <div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#585350;font-family:Georgia;">A lifetime littered with loss and sorrow has changed her personality over the years, from sweet and somewhat innocent to more worldly and more wary. She's somewhere in the middle of the scales, coasting through life in neutral, as it were. Some things about her have changed: she developed a temper that was never there before, and a zest for fighting and conflict. But some things never change: she'll always be a healer at heart no matter how many blades she picks up, she's still got a sharp mind and a quick wit, a charming manner when so inclined, and easily able to keep pace in intelligent conversation. She's got a good business sense, but a greater mind for magic and combat, with a single minded focus on learning and taking in knowledge that's so driven it could almost be a religion for her. Very little can rouse her to burning anger, but what manages it finds her a completely different woman, devoid of compassion and mercy. The one truly consistent side of her is her personal set of values, which she holds to be a kind of law in her life. It's not that hard to glean when one interacts with her. She's not a hero by any stretch of the imagination, but those who cross the lines she's draws are quick to see just how dark and destructive she can become.</div>

She has a strong mothering complex, made easier by the fact she's usually much older than anyone else she meets, resulting in her taking a natural parental role with others. This also results in a momma bear complex when someone goes after someone she considers to be 'one of hers'.</div>

Glioca is a woman of varied beliefs, but she has some strong prejudices that actually have a very negative effect on her social interactions. One of them being that she has a fairly abiding hatred for Miqo'te as a whole, specifically the city-cats, and mostly the suncat whores, as she refers to Seekers. She's more tolerate of the males than the females, and still generally more tolerant of Keepers as a whole. She makes exceptions, but this is rare. </div>

Whether it's a combat style, an artisan skill, a bit of trivia, a factoid, magic, technology, even the most inane things, she loves learning. It's probably her greatest motivation in life. She's said that she could be content to eternally be a student, and never a master herself.

| |
| − | <div style="padding: 7px 4px;font-size:13px; color:#585350;font-family:Georgia;">Glioca has a sensitivity to particularly strong aether, having experimented in her youth with aetheric flows and energies. During the course of these experiments, she reinforced her body with pinpoint aetheric bolstering, which created a unique condition and affect within her. As such, it is moderated with an armlet that was forged by a collective force of Mages some years ago at the behest of her father. The armlet she wears serves a dual purpose, both to keep her aether in check within her body, and to prevent her from overextending her physical form, which is limited in how much aether it can handle at any one time. Once the armlet she wears is removed, she has a span of roughly five minutes before her body begins to deteriorate, and aether sickness begins to take its toll on her. This aether sickness is a very extreme case and leads to a very quick decline within a minute after her "time" with the armlet off runs out, and can and likely will result in her inevitable death, typically within no more than twenty minutes as her body fully degrades. The amount of time she can exist without the armlet is cumulative, and she has five minutes in any given day in which she can go without the armlet. This makes it very impractical for drawn out combat, and is much more of a 'last ditch' type of effect. As such, she hesitates to often utilize it for more than quick displays for others, or without using a very toned down version by adjusting her armlet's output, rather than outright removing it.</div>

| |
| − | <div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">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. </div></div>

| |
| − | <div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">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.</div></div>

| |
| − | <div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">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.</div></div>

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.

| − | <div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">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.</div></div>

| |
| − | <div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;"><p>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.</p>
| |
| − | <p>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.</p></div></div>

| |
| − | <div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">Rather than considering herself a 'mage' of a specific type, Glioca likes to think of herself as simply a 'Magus', and extends her study of magic into all fields, constantly seeking ways to multi-cast, or utilize a variety of spells together in ways which are outside the conventional method of thinking. She has been practicing magic for a long time, since longer than she took up physical combat, in fact, and works tirelessly to combine the two. Her eventual goal is a unified magical theory which brings all forms of spellcasting under a unique and singular umbrella.</div></div>
| |
| − | <div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">Glioca possesses some skill with each of the unique forms of magic: Arcane Summoning (Arcanima), Astromancy, Bardic, Black (Thaumaturgy), Dark, and White (Conjury). Her eidetic memory aids her greatly in the practical use of Arcanima for strategy and summoning her aether into physical form. Her manipulation of Astromancy is a much newer skill, as astronomy was always her core focus, the woman choosing to read fate rather than manipulate it. She practices an older form of Thaumaturgy, taught to her by her husband, A'rklonn, and in truth, at times her Arcanima, Conjury, and Thaumaturgy are nigh indistinguishable. There are some noticeable differences, however, in the way she utilizes each type of magic. Because of the cross-over between the respective skills, she is that much closer to unifying her magic into a singular form, which she refers to as All-Magic.</div></div>
| |
| − | <div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">A past history with astronomy as a practice before she discovered astromancy, Glioca has some limited, but growing skill with the Sharlayan practice, as it has been offered in Ishgard, and within the tomes she has taken to studying. She tends to be less accepting of 'fate' as a blanket term, and instead refers to each draw of the cards as choosing one more step on the great road that must be walked. She is not as capable with bardic magic as she is with some, though like with astromancy, her skill expands as time goes on, as she wants to add the unique chants and spell-songs to her skill set. </div></div>
| |
| − | <div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">If you had to clarify Glioca's singular strongest independent magic, it would be the art of Conjury, which mingles in many ways with Thaumaturgy as she practices it. She is adept with Ice and Lightning, and far less so with Fire, finding the element difficult and often painful to manipulate. She has taken to the darker magics of Thaumaturgy with great ease, and approaches the darker arts with what she feels to be appropriate reverence and caution. This does not, however, extend to her use of dark magic, the kind that uses the finely honed rage that bubbles just under the surface beneath her usually calm exterior. She has a deep well of inner darkness to draw on, and this is most apparent when she is practicing dark magic. She has spent more and more time working with her husband on void magic, leaning to treat the void as another singular source of magic, rather than the forbidden and negative connotations it currently has. This research is, of course, mostly private, and she keeps her dabbling with the void very restricted after the incident that happened to her atop the Crystal Tower, before it was closed off from access.</div></div>
| |
| − | <div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">Glioca has been a Conjurer since her youth, and after arriving back in Gridania for the first time since before the Calamity, she ended up seeking out the Conjurer's guild. Years of prior study gave her a keen edge, though she was somewhat surprised to see how much the magic had changed since she first began practicing the art. She has since learned how to utilize conjury in ways that many wouldn't expect, hyper-reinforcing her body, an act that provided a greatly boosted endurance and agility. Coupled with her already keen mind, this has given her a leg up, as it were, into the art and indeed, its long history. Many of her notes on Conjury, and indeed White Magic, come from the depths of Amdapor, and she works to uncover the lost White Magics practiced there, and similarly, those practiced by the Allag. Her study is slow, as is her study into All-Magic, but she makes steady, if inching progress, when it is her focus. </div></div>

She fights in a very dramatic way, primarily because that's the way she was taught, but also because she likes showmanship. She will not however, hesitate to fight dirty when fighting anyone.

She has never met a mentor with the patience enough to teach her, nor has she found an individual who would suggest to her the use of a composite bow so that she might better utilize her strength without wrecking her bow. Somewhere, in the basement of her home in the Goblet, there is a pile of bows that have been snapped in two when her patience went with them.</div></div>
| |
| − | <div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">She is familiar with several bladed weapons, and has some skill in the use of daggers, long swords, short swords, great swords, and additionally, axes. Her skill with daggers is still quite sub-optimal, as utilizing two blades has never been one of her better skills. She typically prefers to fight with a single blade, rather than two, and this puts her at a disadvantage with the smaller weapons. The lack of range is never the problem so much as the speed she would need to utilize in order to use the weapons to their greatest effectiveness. When it comes to axes, her lack of speed is precisely what she needs, and while her movements aren't exceptionally swift with axes, the raw power she puts behind her strikes more than makes up for it. </div></div>
| |
| − | <div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">Long swords are where she excels in terms of bladed weaponry, having spent more time working with those than she has short swords or great swords. She is capable of utilizing either of the two, but again, those aren't her preference. When she was still Meallaire, she spent some time in the Gladiator's guild, training with the sword and the shield. She eventually sought out the training of a Free Paladin, though that isn't how she would prefer to spend her time fighting. 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.</div></div>
| |
| − | <div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">She has some skill with polearms, though much of her training came from a few brief years working with Lancers in Gridania many years ago. She could never be a lancer in truth, and while she could dress the part and has learned the skill of jumping, she'll never be a dragoon, not without a serious mentor who is willing to teach her their fighting techniques. Even still, she doubts she would be capable of focusing herself into the discipline that is required for the fighting style. Thanks to her time in Othard, she has some skill with ninjutsu, though many of her skills are very rusty, and not precisely what one would consider 'adept'. She's currently attempting to relearn the skills she once had, but as with every other field of study, it goes slowly because of the amount of time she would require to dedicate to it in order to achieve true mastery.</div></div>
| |
| − | <div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">Still, 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 this is probably the most dangerous method of fighting one could engage her in. She considers using a blade as imposing a handicap on herself, and rarely puts her blade away for this very reason. She knows an array of fighting techniques that range from battlefield control to disabling and killing techniques. One of the most dangerous abilities she has learned is a technique to reinforces her strikes with her own aether to use them to counteract a persons ability to channel aether, either from outside, or through their body. This effectively cuts mages off at the knees, and in someone else who utilizes chakra or chi, such as a monk, or a practicioner of ninjutsu, it cuts off their ability to channel these skills as well. She is limited, however, as it requires these strikes to land very precisely in order for them to be effective. </div></div>

| |
| − | <div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">She has a number of other skills that, while applicable for combat, are less frequently used by her. First and foremost among those is her skill with machinery. 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-Fire III 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. What is not a work in progress, however, is the small Allag node that she re-purposed into housing a mammet core, which serves as an artificial intelligence companion when she's working in her laboratory. This node keeps most of her notes for her, and otherwise behaves exactly as one might expect a mammet to. A major pain in the ass.</div></div>
| |
| − | <div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">When it comes to stealth, Glioca isn't much of a stealthy individual, though she does have more skill than one would consider her to have. She tends to blend into her environment more than she does going 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. Despite this, she's got some experience with sleight of hand, though a master would obviously be able to spot her failings a malm away. </div></div>
| |
| − | <div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">One of the other skills that she fosters is actual medical knowledge, and not just the type that a spell can weave away. Having served as a battlefield medic with the Adders at one point in her life, and having been the only doctor for a time in her home in Othard, she has a good grasp of anatomy and physiology. She can do everything from set bones to birth children to triage on the battlefield, and has even performed reconstructive surgery coupled with her conjury. Her mastery over her own body is very adept with a combination of medical know-how and magical intuitiveness, and she utilizes both to great effect.</div></div>

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. She is a rather inventive person when she wants to be, and has created all manner of goods, including some rather interesting bedroom aids made by utilizing all of her skills. While unorthodox, she considers them a point of pride, as they stretch the limits of her skills.</div></div>

| |
| − | <div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">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 traditional Eorzean cuisine as cooking can often change over the years, and she spent a great deal of time out of Aldenard. 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. This has more recently expanded to include Ishgardian cuisine as she spends more time in the area, and even some rare Dravanian style dishes, when she can locate appropriate sources for the information.</div></div>
| |
| − | <div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">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 offers for purchase. 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 which, taken daily, helps prevent conception. One of the ways that she utilizes her alchemical cooking is in taking the sting, as it were, out of some of the more nasty tasting potions. She has also used these methods to make unique treats, such as delicate spun chocolate creations, and frozen sweet cream made into tiny dots of flavor which melt together to become a rather delicious whole.</div></div>
| |
| − | <div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">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 in Eorzea proper, typically for personal use and never shared with others 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 plants in the underground complex of her Free Company home.</div></div>
| |
| − | <div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">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 usually results in her only spending sporadic bursts fishing, depending on what she is creating and what that thing requires.</div></div>

| |
| − | <div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">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.</div></div>
| |
| − | <div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">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.</div></div>
| |
| − | <div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">Goldsmithing 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. As far as gathering metal, she tends to leave that to her husband, though she can mine, and does mine when the situation calls for it. Regardless, she prefers to leave the largest orders of heavy metals to him, as he has a greater talent with finding the best nodes to tap. Otherwise, she prefers to go through Amajina & Sons Mining Company. </div></div>

| |
| − | <div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">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.</div></div>
| |
| − | <div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">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.</div></div>
| |
| − | <div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">Glioca honed her leatherworking 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.</div></div>

Some details she'll share freely, such as her time spent in Othard years ago, her parents and lineage, and snippets of her life since she returned to Eorzea.

| − | : <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#585350;" size="2">Glioca Sargonnai was born Meallaire Sarrasin, to Selaine Friont and Jeulerand Sarrasin, a Wildwood couple that made their home in the Black Shroud. She led what some would call an average childhood for the first few years, learning and studying under the tutelage of her parents and family. She spent time conversing with the Elementals and wildlife, and growing as most children do: quickly. When she was barely half a decade old, she lost her mother, Selaine, to a wasting sickness whose origin is still unknown. After the loss of her mother, Meallaire began focusing herself into Conjury, with the intention of making sure that should sickness ever to threaten to take her father from her, she would be able to heal him. </font></div><br>
| |
| − | : <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#585350;" size="2">What should have been study to better herself and aid others instead became a form of obsession in the young woman, devoting all of herself to the study of conjury, how it affected the body, and more importantly, to the body itself, and how it could be advanced and manipulated with the healing magic. Despite her single-minded obsession with conjury as a way to save a life, she did learn how to heal not only the body, but the mind, and the world around her; her magic a way to support the growth of plants, rather than just people. While her studies never led her to find a way to cure the disease that afflicted her mother, it led her down other paths. She turned her focus of studies toward alchemy and arcanima, intending to blend the two magics, if at all possible, with the natural and unnatural components of alchemy, into a method to cure any disease.</font></div><br>
| |
| − | : <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#585350;" size="2">Unfortunately, much as often happens when someone tries to blend two magics, she created a volatile reaction that left her with an overabundance of aether, turning her body into a conduit without a way to slow down the amount of aether that she generates and draws in, or to moderate the amount of aether she expelled when she used any kind of force. The result was a monstrous strength that was dangerous, both to her and to those around her. Her father, desperate to pull her mind from her quest into magic, and to find a way to help his daughter control her new-found strength, traveled from Gridania to Ul’dah, to seek assistance from the smiths and magi of the city, hoping that they might fashion an item to control the aether generated by her, and purpose it in a way that it would no longer make her own body beyond her control. </font></div><br>
| |
| − | : <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#585350;" size="2">Though the journey took him at least a moon, her father returned with an armlet with a glowing symbol on the side, and a warning: that artifact was designed with great care, and should it ever be lost, a second would be impossible to create. The secrets lost with the fall of Sil'dih in their war with Ul'dah. For a brief time, she secluded herself away from all but her father and aunt, as she struggled to get her strength under control, her body slowly adjusting, and the very young woman herself adjusting to the changes necessary to reign herself in. Though she did eventually manage to get herself under control, she found that her strength was often overwhelming. Rather than others, however, she most often injured herself. And so began her delving into Conjury and earliest Arcanima to reinforce her physical form to handle the aetherical abundance that most often caused her injury as her body struggled to keep up with the power she bore.</font></div><br>
| |
| − | : <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#585350;" size="2">While her tale should have grown happier at this point, getting herself under control and things going well, instead, her father was lost to a skirmish with forces unknown in the Twelveswood. Meallaire, not yet an adult, was assigned to her aunt Cirenelle as her charge. She fell into a deep depression that lasted until her nineteenth summer. No sooner had her nameday passed, before she packed up her meager belongings and what small fortune she and her father had amassed from the alchemical potions she had sold, and she departed Gridania, headed for Limsa Lominsa. She chose the first boat for parts unknown, and ended up across the sea, in Othard.</font></div><br>

The woman traded and bartered her services as an alchemist for a place to stay in a small village, eventually ending up using her strength to help provide for the village by tending to heavy work, her life of conjury and magic traded for the rough working of the land. As she had with conjury, she ended up devoting herself to the study of the local culture. Within a few short years, she’d grown fluent with the language and as familiar with the culture as if she’d been born to it. Her acceptance within the village was a turning point in her life, allowing her to put the pain of the loss of her parents behind her. </font></div><br>
| |
| − | : <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#585350;" size="2">During this time, she met Cai Wararm, a Highlander with a zest for life that she enjoyed. He would become her first lover, her first love, and eventually, the father of her first child. Cai encouraged her to learn to fight during their time together, but she resisted, having had taken a vow to be a pacifist, swearing that she would never raise her hands in anger or combat due to her raw strength. She would later come to regret that vow. But the happiness she had found with Cai wasn't meant to last, and after barely two years with him, he was lost in a series of raids on the villages by a group of bandits. Less than three days after Cai's death, the child that would have been their son was stillborn. She named him Cailean, and buried the both of them, burning her home down as she left. For the second time in her life, started moving again, running to escape her past. </font></div><br>
| |
| − | : <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#585350;" size="2">She traveled up and down the coast of Othard, eventually settling into a larger city, and this time, without any desire to really motivate her, she took up training as a courtesan. First working as a healer, curing sickness that might crop up in the girls, and then as a proper courtesan herself, training in everything from formal ceremony to physical companionship, music, art, culture, and everything in-between. She was taken in by an older woman by the name of Chiyo. Chiyo would become her sponsor and mentor, teaching her everything from the culture she desperately needed to know to survive, to martial arts best suited to take advantage of her monstrous strength. When the Hyurian woman passed away two years later, Meallaire was pained by her loss, but instead of running, as she had always done before, she remained, working her way through the 'ranks', as it were, until she was one of the highest paid courtesan in the Jade Lotus, the teahouse that had become her home.</font></div><br>
| |
| − | : <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#585350;" size="2">Life is often funny, and it was working as a courtesan that she met one of the only other Elezen males she had seen frequent the house; a Wildwood going by the name of Vandor. She took him on as a client, but after a year of frequenting the Jade Lotus just to take the time to visit with her, she found herself being reluctantly courted by him. After a surprise visit by the man found her literally falling through a roof and onto his head, she decided to take the hint from the Spinner, and accepted his advances. She refused to stop working, however, and the two courted while she continued her occupation. Vandor could of course raise no objections given how they met, instead becoming her paid sponsor, giving her the greater freedom to pick and choose her clientele. This continued on for seven years, with Vandor asking for her hand every year on the same day. Finally, in the seventh year, Meallaire agreed. She finally stepped down from her position in the Lotus, and the two were wed according to Othardian customs. They spent the next thirty-two years moving all around Othard, until Meallaire became pregnant with their first son, Valistaux.</font></div><br>

It was from them that she learned most of her non-conjury healing from, as well as anatomy, and other practical medicines and much of her alchemy. It was during this time that she began to perfect the alchemical formula that would extend the lifespan of herself, her husband, and her children. </font></div><br>
| |
| − | : <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#585350;" size="2">During this same time she, Vandor, and a veritable cabal of other mages banded together to stop an 'Oni' who was traversing across the local countryside and terrorizing the people. This 'Oni' turned out to be a Voidsent, one that the collective bound. Meallaire was chosen as the individual to bind him to, as she was presently the youngest and longest lived of the group. He was thrust into an Elezen body, and bound there, and given the name Mikaelis. This would become her first servant, and ironically, over the years, one of her most trusted advisors.</font></div><br>
| |
| − | : <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#585350;" size="2">When Valistaux was twelve years of age, Meallaire and Vandor took the boy on a trip along the coastline near their home, where they encountered a slaver ship, offloading their cargo. A duskwight girl caught their attention, and while the pair would have liked to have freed everyone on the ship that day, discretion was the better part of valor and they instead purchased the duskwight girl, whose name was Esirelle. The pair adopted the girl, with Valistaux gaining a playmate and a 'sibling', of sorts. She stepped in as Meallaire's assistant for a time, learning alchemy from the woman, and displaying some small measure of control over conjury. </font></div><br>

| − | : <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#585350;" size="2">The four had a fairly happy home life for a number of years, with Meallaire and Vandor selling a variety of services from their home, gathering funds in preparation for the future, and raising their two children. When the pair began to display greater affection for one another, no one was surprised, and when they both reached their twentieth summer, Meallaire and Vandor granted the pair permission to wed. As they weren't blood siblings, there was no taboo broken, and so the pair were wed happily to one another. For the next seventeen years, the four of them worked as a unit, taking care of things around their homeland, and working together to expand their skills and develop their talents. Not long after the thirty-seventh nameday of their son, Meallaire and Vandor decided it was, once again, time to travel.</font></div><br>
| |
| − | : <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#585350;" size="2">From 1470 until 1552, Meallaire and Vandor, with Mikaelis in reluctant tow, traveled all across the world, experiencing new cultures, learning new magic, taking in knowledge, contributing what they could to whatever location they stayed in for any period of time, and generally enjoying their time and life together. Sometime in 1508, Meallaire gave birth to twin sons, Vaelenant and Aeldenoix. But all things must come to an end, and after the pair shared a startling vision of the future, they traversed back across the ocean, ending up in Eorzea, their original home.</font></div><br>

Taking back up the paths of conjury and alchemy, she began experimenting and working with manipulating the body, supplementing her work with arcanima. The pair settled into a steady life in Gridania, each of them offering their respective services to the City. Their lives progressed on a steady course until the Garleans began pushing at the boundaries of the Twelveswood. When the Adders put out a call for bodies, they answered the that call.</font></div><br>

| − | : <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#585350;" size="2">At the fields of Carteneau Flats, the Alliance met the Empire head-on, with Meallaire and Vandor on the front lines. When Dalamud fell, and the forces of the respective armies scattered, the duo did very much the same. They quit the field, and rather than returning home to Gridania, they traveled to Ul’dah, to rejoin their sons. They changed their names that day, Meallaire becoming Glioca, and Vandor becoming A’rklonn. They took his family name, of Sargonnai, and worked to make a life in the City-State.</font></div><br>
| |
| − | : <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#585350;" size="2">With a flood of refugees in the wake of the Calamity, Glioca opened a small shop in Ul'dah, offering her services as a conjurer and barber-surgeon for those who had been injured by the Calamity. While her services were appreciated by some, they were viewed with suspicion by others. Why would an Elezen conjurer lend her aid to those that the citizens of Ul'dah turned a blind eye to? After her clinic was ransacked by Brass Blades, Glioca was forced to shut her doors, and began traveling further and further from Ul'dah.</font></div><br>
| |
| − | : <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#585350;" size="2">Not long after this, she took up swordplay with the Gladiator's guild in Ul'dah, utilizing what she'd learned in Othard and with her husband, fighting under the moniker 'The Silver Dragon'. She often fought while masked, and donated any winnings she received to the refugees outside the gates, providing what food and medicine she could. A particularly nasty match left one man dead however, and Glioca ended up quitting the guild and laying down her arms and armor.</font></div><br>
| |
| − | : <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#585350;" size="2">Following the death in the circle, and with ever-growing unrest in Ul'dah, Glioca, A'rklonn, and their third at the time, opted to move on to Gridania. While there, Glioca briefly sought out what remained of her family, getting back in touch with the last of her kin, their twin boys, now going by the names Vaelen and Aelden finally returning to the fold with a group with them. They also got back in touch with Anthya, who would become one of their adopted daughters. Committed to a course, the group never settled into Gridania proper, instead traveling around in the Twelveswood like nomads, until eventually ending up at the Oak Inn. </font></div><br>

They and family spent a little over two months living at the Inn. Eventually, the trio decided to move on and formed the Rising Phoenix Free Company, under the banner of the Maelstrom, serving as mercenaries for hire for whatever company so sought their services, but most importantly, establishing the Phoenix Estate within Ul'dahn territory, and eventually opening up Black Phoenix Oddities as a second legitimate front business to the company.</font></div>

| |
| − | : <div style="font-family:Georgia;"><font style="color:#585350;" size="2">❄ With the Gates of Ishgard tentatively open, Glioca, along with her husband, traveled to the far northern city. The situations of the people there prompted Glioca to finally lay down her healer's staff in favor of her sword and shield. She pledged herself as a Free Paladin publicly, though in other skirmishes she discards the shield in favor of spellcraft and imbuing her blade with magic; she refers to herself as a Mystic Knight.</font></div>

The death became one more in a long litany of loss for the woman, and she's thrown herself back into the skirmishes with the Dravanian Horde with renewed fervor.</font></div>

While not specifically as 'children', it's been an interesting development as she's now involved in a romantic relationship not only with her husband, but also her would-be son, Erimmont Chevalier, and to a degree, also her daughter Ellemeare Sargonnai. Introductions are.. awkward, to say the least. This is all coupled with the fact that she's now several months pregnant with what will be her fourth born child. She's quietly hoping for a daughter.</font></div>

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. With Vaelen comes his wife Arkhiss, a Duskwight woman who Glioca is fond of. The two have a sometimes physical relationship that is a holdover from Vae's youth.</div>

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.''</div></div>

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.

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.''</div></div>

| − | :<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">■ [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ActionGirl 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.''</div></div>
| |
| − | :<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">■ [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DeadlyDoctor 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.''</div></div>
| |
| − | :<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">■ [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EvenTheGirlsWantHer 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).''</div></div>

| − | :<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">■ [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PhotographicMemory 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. ''</div></div>
| |
| − | :<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">■ [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BewareTheNiceOnes 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.''</div></div>
| |
| − | :<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">■ [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SilkHidingSteel 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.''</div></div>

| − | :<div align=justify><div style="padding:5px 15px;font-family:Georgia;">■ [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RenaissanceMan?from=Main.Polymath Polymath] ''Glioca has lived a very long life, and as such, has picked up a number of different skills, ranging from the normal tradecrafts into advanced fields like science, technology, medicine, and more, as applicable in the FFXIV setting. She's tinkered with Allag technology, and can weave reeds into a basket if she needs to. She's skilled at a lot, but has truly mastered nothing except her healing, which is what all of her other learning is meant to support.''</div></div>
