A P P E A R A N C E
Dyna is an engineer and her physique certainly reflects this. Most of her time is spent tinkering and building, so she has not built much muscle. She is on the short end for a hyur, standing at only 5'1. Barring a few exceptions, she is almost always seen wearing a pair of goggles that she will pull over her eyes when she gets serious. Her hair has recently been dyed a platinum blonde and possesses two blue eyes. Unless dressed in her armor, she is also often seen carrying tools on her person for tinkering.
B E H A V I O R
Dyna is an verbose and arrogant individual. Her father worked his way up in the Garlean society and often praised Dyna for her intelligence during her growth. She speaks with pride of herself and her nation, unapologetic in the Garlean agenda or actions. The rank of others also comes into consideration when interacting with others. She will typically challenge all but the highest ranking Garleans on their decisions and anyone not of the Garlean nation is typically not worth considering the opinion of, unless they prove otherwise. Dyna will often not remember the name of most Eorzean she encounters, as she often doesn't feel them to be worth remembering. She shows much an interest in architecture and engineering feats, chatting at length with anyone involved in the process.
Dyna does not care for flirting and usually will not react to it. She is however prone to flattery of her intelligence, making it rather easy to get on her good side if one is aware of this. She is often fearless in the face of a challenge or adversity, her own arrogance often making her think she is invincible. She will sling insults or argue with someone even when she is unarmed or the person in question is dangerous. She is not bloodthirsty but has no qualms with killing anyone she deems as a hindrance to the Garlean Empire. She values the lives of her creations almost as much, if not more, than actual living people, something that can drive her to distress if too many are destroyed or broken.

Despite priding herself on a vast intellect, Dyna's battle tactics are almost childishly simple. She prefers victory through superior might and will flaunt whatever might she happens to wield through the entire battle. She enjoys speaking perhaps too much and has often spent too much time taunting her opponents. She has two methods of which she prefers to battle, at a distance with a rifle or up close with an axe.
Dyna is a decent marksman but will often rely on outside support in a fight, be it from allies or her own inventions. She will employ turrets in combat to help split focus and firepower among her enemies. Dyna prefers staying at range, but will defend herself with the bayonet on her rifle if a target gets too close. She will naturally use cover and flank with her allies, taking calculated shots at an opponent's body.
With an axe, she equips herself in a suit of armor that enhances her strength greatly. She fights more like a higher ranking Garlean with this armor, using an axe she built a firearm into. The suit's armor also houses an arm cannon she will utilize from a distance. She will use the brute force of her suit to her advantage, swinging her axe around to devastating effect. If her axe is unavailable for whatever reason, she will use the strength granted to her by the suit to crush or break anything she can get her hands on. Unsurprisingly, Dyna is considerably more durable in this armor. If enough damage is taken to her suit, her physical capabilities return to normal.

Some of these rumors are untrue or are greatly exaggerated. Please feel free to add your own rumors under PC!
Common Rumors (Easy to overhear)
- "She thinks she's so great, always looking down on other folk. I wouldn't bother with her."
- "Always see her carrying around a lot of tools, must be a handy one!"
Moderate Rumors (Moderately difficult to overhear)
- "Comes into my shop to buy bolts, rivets, and other simple tools sometimes. Usually a bit rude about it, like I always owe her."
- "Seen her fire that rifle of hers before. Not a bad shot, think she's been using one of those for awhile."
- "Told her she was cute, didn't really care. Usually that gets /some/ kind of reaction."
Rare Rumors (Very difficult or rarely overheard)
- "Saw that lass venture towards a Castrum once, thought she wanted to die. She made it back though, so she must be capable."
- "This one time, I was sitting there, with my broken mammet, right over there. That lady showed up and looked at it. Without a word, sits down right next to it, right here, starts fixin' it. By the time I yelled at her, not long mind you, she had finished fixin' it up. She just scowled at me an' left. Tried apologizin' but I think I offended her."
- "Don't know if she ever sleeps. She's rented a room here before, but when I turn in for the night to get my own rest, her room still has a light on and sometimes I hear all these whirs and clanks."

| ● Fah'ren Tolesa | "The Hypocritic Monster" |
| Dyna encountered this Keeper in Mor Dhona, already with a disdain for the company he belonged. While he cared not for his Eorzean rhetoric, she was impressed by his engineering prowess, almost enough to consider him a rival. The next chance meeting they had resulted in Fah'ren destroying one of her inventions because he feared what she would do with it. Her response was then to blow up his entire workshop. While she now considers them even, she certainly has no fondness for the miqo'te. | |
| ● Tarquin Culpa | "The Ambitious Fist" |
| A fellow Garlean Dyna has worked with on a few situations. She respects his prowess in battle but cares not for his desire to order her around. In her eyes, he is yet another who does not truly appreciate the gifts and devotion to the Garleans, but he is not insufferable. | |
| ● Raikemi Maiagaru | "A Reasonable Eorzean" |
| A hyur that once got the better of Dyna in a revenge plot. She did however, avoid needlessly destroying Dyna's work, gaining her a small bit of respect from the Garlean Engineer. However, she is still an Eorzean, and Dyna would not entertain the thought of tolerating her presence. | |
O U T - O F - C H A R A C T E R
Will
- RP walk-ups, whether starting myself or receiving from others.
- Join in for long term plotlines that make sense for the character.
- Combat RP, preference towards freeform.
- Most mature themes in RP are okay, though consult if they could have long term effects on my character.
Won't
- Tolerate meta-gaming. Especially knowing Dyna is a Garlean without consulting me first.
- ERP, I've no problem with it, but I'm not here for it.
- Character death, or limb removal, without my consent.
- Would prefer not to acknowledge fantasia plot lines, as I find them be tension and immersion breaking.
- Dragging IC issues into OOC. I do not mind clarification of course on certain things, but my character's views do not reflect my views.
