[edit] Bio Details Relationships Rumors Gallery OOC Notes Introduction Akaina is a 23 year old female Au Ra. Born into a secular Raen tribe in the Nagxia region, she quickly developed a sense of adventure and a yearning to leave the village and write her own stories. at a young age she was already physically fit from playing in the dense forests surrounding her village, along with being quite knowledgeable in botany. She is very protective of her younger siblings and anyone she considers a friend. Although she is very shy and will often travel alone, she will open up to any friendly person and is always open to helping those in need. APPEARANCE Akaina is a slim Au Ra with a short stature. she was born with dark violet hair and dyes the ends with red streaks in honor of her father who had crimson hair. She also has rose colored eyes, from her mother. She is quite fond of her curved horns and will often adorne them with jewelry. She also has some pearlescent white body scales that are common among the Raen tribe. Aspects That Stand Out: ■ White Body Scales ■ Violet hair with red streaks ■ Rose colored eyes Background Akaina is an Au Ra born in Nagxia 23 years ago. She was born into a Raen tribe along with a younger brother and sister. Her parents had left their roles as warriors in Doma and settled with a group of pacifist Au Ra in the Nagxia region many years ago. Akaina was a few years older than her siblings and quickly became protective of them. Akaina and her brother would often play in the forest while their sister would help her mother at home. The tribe Akaina was born into was very secular and outsiders were very rare in the village. The main visitors were merchant caravans bringing supplies to the village. Akaina quickly became interested in a particular caravan; a Lalafell merchant named Gillor Belor and his guard, a female Miqo’te named Cirah Vujho. They visited the village on a monthly basis, bringing in goods from the west. Akaina was especially fond of Cirah, who began to teach her the basics of fighting. Gillor told her stories of the different lands to the west, from the bustling city of Ul’dah, to the lush forests of Gridania and beyond. As Akaina reached the age of 20, her curiosity grew and she began to wonder about life outside the forest. Eventually her parents told her about the origins of the Au Ra, from their ancestral homeland in the Azim Steppe, to their people’s exploits as warriors in Yanxia. She was intrigued and excited about these stories, which instilled a sense of adventure in her. She asked her parents to train her so she might leave the village and travel. Her parents agreed and after two years of combat training, she decided to leave the village and head west. On her 22nd birthday, Akaina said goodbye to her siblings and parents as she left the village for the first time, promising to return someday with grand stories to tell. She left the village with Gillor and Cirah, joining them on their journey back to Ul’dah. They first ventured towards the port city of Valnian, where a merchant ship was waiting to sail west. Akaina spent almost a year travelling with Cirah and Gillor. They sailed from Valnian to Radz-at-Hand, where they stayed for a few months before continuing towards Ala Mhigo where Cirah grew up and trained to become a mercenary. Akaina and Cirah spent some time doing mercenary work in the area before they continued on with Gillor towards Gridania. The dense forests of Gridania brought back memories of home for Akaina. She was also drawn to the Lancer guild located here as it was the weapon her father used and taught her to fight with. After a brief stop, they continued south towards their final destination of Ul’dah. It was here that Akaina said goodbye to Cirah and Gillor and started her own adventure. After they all promised to meet again in the future, Akaina headed back north to Gridania. She decided to pursue more training at the Lancer guild as the first step in her adventure. Akaina was keen to remember all of her exploits during her time adventuring, so she decided to start a journal. She would write in it daily as she continued her quest, her entry on her 23rd birthday describes her on a lone cart heading towards the city of Gridania, while noting the cute creatures she had met that the others couldn't see...

Artwork Screenshots ಌ OOC NOTES ಌ OOC INFORMATION Player Note This is my first RP character in any MMO, I'm an avid writer and thought this would be a great way to flesh out a character. When in character I'll strive to be true to what Akaina would actually say, do, and think. I would like to focus on heavy RP as this will help my writing. The main goal for this character is to go through the MSQ and tell stories through Akaina's Journel. There is a link under her profile picture for her journal entries. They are free to read out of character, as well as in character as Akaina loves to share her stories with people, just ask IC first! Personal RP Limits I can't say I have any limits, I'm really using this as a character study and practice fleshing out a character and creating a believable story that adheres to FFXIV's lore. I'm open to any sort of RP as long as you're okay with Akaina writing about her experiences in her journal which will be public. Definitely will be using mature themes in my writing so have a soft age requirement of 18, but would prefer 21+ Disclaimer Little Tidbits. ■ When playing the game as Akaina I will try to be in character as much as possible (90-100% of the time), there may be times where I talk OOC and will make it very clear when doing so. I would like to play in groups that also have this mindset of staying in character while still doing game content, although I will still do content with anyone as long as they respect my persona in-game as well as myself IRL. ■ I am open to, and actively looking for open-world RP. Something spontaneous and unscripted that could lead to interesting stories to write in Akaina's journal. ■ As a basic rule of thumb, if I have my "RP" tag on in-game, feel free to assume I'm in character CHARACTER TIDBITS Potential Plot Hooks Akaina is just starting her journey in Eorzea, being from a secular tribe where she never strayed too far from her village. she still has a lot to learn about the world and how people interact with each other. I would love for her to be included in other people's advenutres and stories so she can gain more social experience. for people who read this far (<3 you) I'll have some plot hooks down below that won't be considered metagaming if used to start dialogue between characters. and unless I am AFK, I'll always respond in character to these: ■ Akaina LOVES sweats, her travels have given her a massive sweat tooth and she can be seen around Eorzea trying different Desserts. she can usually be found sitting in a cafe or on a bench eating sweats and writing in her journal. Walking up and starting a conversation about desserts is a great way to get her attention. She may be reluctant to share her delictible sweats with you, but she'll be delighted to chat about anything! ■ Akaina is an avid writer and is determined to chronicle all her adventures as she moves throughout Eorzea (going through MSQ) she always has a tattered journal with her that she writes in constantly. another great way to get her attention is to ask her what book she is reading/writing in, She will be ecstatic and open to share her journal with all! ■ Akaina is always stepping in to help people in need, she may get taken advantage of sometimes as she always assumes people are honest and open with her. you can count on her if your character needs a hand, so don't be afraid to ask her for assistance! Character Lore Adherence I've spent many hours going over FFXIV lore pertaining to the world and the characters. I've tried my best to model Akaina and her life in line with the lore of the game. but I am also new to FFXIV so my knowledge is still laking. Over time Akaina will grow and I hope to keep her stories and adventures (and any other RP scenarioes) as close to the lore of the game as possible ■ NOTE: Akaina's Journal entries will chronicle her time going through the MSQ like everyone else has. although I do not want her character to be seen as the WOL, I still plan to follow the story as closely as possible in the beginning. later on I plan to branch off her journals to make sure her adventures don't make her too overpowered
