Character Information


If ye lookin here fer wantin' wise words, speak t' th' tavern drunk.

Waenbraena is a character designed with an intention of expanding not only on Lominsan culture, but by exploring the base ideals that could relate to the common -deckhand-. She is no hero, nor does she stand out from the crowd due to some otherworldly force. The journey that Waenbraena has travelled is one of adventure and consequence, a test of her person to the ordeals of a war-torn world within the realm to which she serves. In turn, she is meant to be a testament to how despite living a life touched by death, it is her determination and her gradual acceptance of her past deeds that may lead to paving the way to living a normal life. In conclusion, her story is one of growth and acceptance, a state of mind that can be influenced by the direction of any roleplay she is exposed too.


Ye be likin' what ye see?


Appearance


Initial Impression
The Roegadyn sports a large and buxom build, being broad shouldered with a lightly toned body, obsidian black hair and oceanic eyes. Add to that a rather brazen demeanour that is emphasised by an almost consistent wry grin that sits upon her lips. Towering over most men and women at a mighty seven fulms and three ilms, she boasts an imposing presence towards the more light of heart, yet she certainly seems to make up the difference with a warm and welcoming attitude.
Presentation & Attire
Waenbraena favours a mix of tight, functional clothing or wearing loose clothes made for comfort during her downtime, depending on where she may be. Waenbraena's attire has her well suited for the life within all three city states, although she would most likely be seen spending most of her time around Limsa, a home which seems more than happy enough to take her coin. Her attire always gives way to a Limsan flair, believing that she looks her best by wearing clothes that speak of character and of her origin.


Personality


Mentality
A woman who is bold with no shame and vibrant to the point of ignorance, Waenbraena’s rather direct approach can come across as off-putting to those of a shy disposition. Despite her initial first impression towards those she meets, it is her curiosity that fills her words and remains a constant prominent feature, paired with a rather friendly, yet boisterous attitude that can come across as her being heavily assertive, influenced by her overpowering presence for being a woman of her size. Given that Waenbraena can be rather abrupt with her intent, she carries a large heart that falls prey to -sob stories- from friends new and old, even falling victim to taking action in a self righteous manner to right a wrong, even if raising her hand would do very little to affect the possible outcome or a moment already passed.
Voice
With a voice that holds a slight bass, yet not hiding her rather brash and feminine tone, she speaks with great confidence with a laughter that is loud and hearty, even when her humour is tickled only slightly. A touch of experience carries over in her words, amplified by that rather wry grin of hers that sometimes makes the listener wonder if the answer they received was for the question they asked.


History



The Early Days
Th' sea always be callin' t' me


Born to Guolund Sterrsthalsyn and Himalzant Zwynhaerzwyn, Waenbraena Guolundwyn was blessed with the loving attention of a small family whom prided themselves on three things: Fishing, Fighting and being Lominsan. While growing up, Guolund had given much of his time in service to Limsa, bringing home many a grand (and unsurprisingly flamboyant) stories that first ignited Waenbraenas desire for adventure. It was these stories, stories of great tales that secured a strong and loving bond between daughter and father on the plentiful fishing trips they shared together. Over time, her father bestowed the passion of service upon Waenbraena, to whom laid her eyes upon the marauder’s guild at her first opportune moment after reaching the required age to serve.


Despite Guolunds influence over his daughter, it was her mother, Himalzant that supported her through the arduous training of becoming a Marauder, Guolund having earned himself greater responsibilies having risen through the ranks of the Maelstrom, watched from afar as reports of his daughter showed great potential. It was the woman’s innate talent with the axe and giantlike appearance that earned Waenbraena a nickname amongst friends as “Lady Fury”, a name she didn’t mind as much, given that her comrades also announced her as a champion during their many tavern crawls (and brawls) throughout the nights in Limsa Lominsa.


Lady Fury and the Storm
I be givin' it me all fer Limsa.


It was due to Waenbraenas boisterous attitude and sure-headed confidence that eventually awoke her latent talents to lead amongst the men and women she bonded with during her time in the guild. They earned the unofficial name that labeled her small group as “The Lominsan Furies” as they continued to deliver and exceed the expectations that was asked of them. She served Limsa dutifully, doing what was asked of her, yet having a biased preference to spending as much time upon the navy vessels of the Limsan navy. She found herself more at home upon the deck of a ship, than under the thatched roofing of the land-based homesteads. Success after success began to feed her pride, pride that eventually overwhelmed Waenbraena and her group of Marauders, pride that was to ultimately lead to her downfall.


It was an ominous mission to a nearby island upon a galleon known as the Lominsan Tempest that Waenbraena ventured, tasked with guarding the crew through contested waters as they travelled near the Garlean borders. Upon discovering the island, they stumbled upon a force of garleans whom the crew assumed was attempting to secure the island to close the gap between Garlemond and Limsa Lominsa. Given their arrival, The pride of the Lominsan Furies flared in their very being, believing that despite being outnumbered and outgunned that they could achieve victory. The battle became bloody and the Furies were right. They did achieve victory, but it was a fight that came at great cost for Waenbraena. Only two of her furies survived to enjoy what had become a tasteless win, yet amongst the dead was the plunder the Garleans had either salvaged or otherwise brought along with them. A cache of weaponry of curious design. It may have been spite on Waenbraenas and the remaining furies behalf when they opted to take their first share of the bounty, be it to honour their fallen dead or greed. Regardless, Waenbraena laid claim to a black steel, ominous looking axe with a red jewel caught in the jaws of a golden skull embedded into the weapon.


As the Galleon set sail back towards Limsa Lominsa to report their findings, the clouds began to bellow with a wrathful roar of thunder and rain. The struggle she had during the impending storm became a blank in Waenbraenas mind, her next memory of the event being washed ashore with various flotsom upon a nearby La Noscea beach. It is a memory that haunts her, for she never laid eyes upon her companions since that devastating day and reluctantly accepted the fact that they did not survive.


Current Day
After the storm, Much happened to Waenbraena that led to her leaving the Marauders guild and spending her time taking up mercenary contracts with the odd occasion of fighting beside low life privateers, brawling within taverns and pit fighting that proved her martial prowess did not rely only on her axe. It wasn’t until she decided to go out on a limb and join the Amber Alyssum in Gridania where the unexpected happened.


Her journey continues...

RP Info


Location & Probability
Places where the character is very likely to be seen
Limsa Lominsa and various habour towns in La Noscea: Normally spotted in taverns, pit fighting arenas and taking on jobs acquired from her current free company.
Twelveswood and Thanalon: Given the nature of her current role within the Amber Alyssum and priding herself as a Limsa citizen, any appearance made to these locations tend to be uncommon at most, although more leaning towards Ul'dah than Gridania.
Affiliations
Most of these aren’t public, and would have to be asked after!
Marauders Guild: Ex-Marauder.
Fishermans Guild: Girl likes to fish.
Adventurers Guild: The Drowning Wench.
Amber Alyssum: Current Free Company.
Various unsavory characters: Has been known to work beside rather shady characters due to recent events.
Roleplay Hooks
While the below is by no means comprehensive, it's a kind of spring board for walk-up RP. Longer plots that are meant to run for more than a few quick RP's, please feel free to send me a tell so we can work out a good reason for our characters to get to know one another. I'm always looking for RP, unless I'm actively spamming PvE content.


Pit Fighting: For those that may notice her fighting style and her rather obvious size over her opponents, she is never one to shy away from company.
Likes her drink: Seems to always welcome company after a few drinks, regardless of who it may be.
Always looking for work: Tends to be found always pulling at random jobs from the noticeboard in the adventurers guild.
Fishing: A common sight on the habour or in various well known fishing spots.


OOC Notes
Player Note
There is a lot of information on this character wiki, but it is by no means completely comprehensive.

Feel free to use Common or Uncommon rumors freely, if you want to use a Rare Rumor as a plot hook or to spark RP, I would ask that you send me a tell first, to make certain it's alright.
