Current EU playthrough stuff with my friend who is playing for the first time. We just cleared Elpis; I Fantasia'd Ryuu temporarily into Hyperion, her ancient.

Me: before we go any further I need to know your Azem's pronouns. I keep defaulting to she/her but Azem is YOUR character in this case

Kian: I actually really like the idea that she's a woman

So yeah Ryuu's Ancient is a man and Kian's is a woman 🏳️‍⚧️

He named her Selene, to match Hyperion, which is all kinds of lovely and ironic, because Hyperion was originally stupid jealous of Selene getting picked for the seat of Azem. But they later became best friends and on again / off again lovers. Hyperion is also what I call First Adjutant to the Words of Azem, so sort of the vice president I guess. Does all the paperwork lol.

Hyperion is also Venat's little bother by a LOT. He's not that much older than Selene. I like to think he was Venat's parents last big thing before they returned to the star, leaving Venat kind of like "??? You left me to care for your son??? *By myself?*" Which ultimately feeds into her need to not leave work unfinished.

Ironically Selene looks more like Venat's sibling than Hyperion does. Hyp looks like he's related to Lahabrea, which he resents.

Anyway. Sun and moon motifs. "And together, we are a glorious eclipse, bringing shade and brilliance both." Which I think is such a lovely call forward to Shadowbringers.

The Rise (and subsiquent fall) of Hyperion

Day 08 - Free Day 01 - Hyperion (Writer's Choice)

ARR (2.0) - My Little Chocobo

CW - General Violence, Animal Fighting, Speciaism (Lalafell)

Follows from: “Ride West, Young Chocomate!”

To the east of The Twelveswood stood the occupied territory of Ala Migho. Conqered by Gaius Van Belsar twentey years ago. The forgoten forth city-state was a land blighted by poor rulers, the last of which sparked a garlemald-backed rebellion which ended the nation's existance as a free land.

Yujo, being from a secluded island off the coast of Limsa Lamosa, didn't know the whole a whole lot about that so when she had her beer taken from her and poured over her head, she didn't have the first clue that she was in the presence of the royal guard of the mad tyrant king.

Chocomate, for his part, wasn't doing much better.

Chocomate was a simple chocobo. He didn't really have much need or care for the intricate political macinations of the two legged ones. What he needed was water, food, some light petting, a little bit of play if that was going, and he would be satisfied.

So his day, which had been going pretty well all in by his estimate, was soundly ruined when a pure-breed, purple plumed chocobo kicked him in the face and sent him flying with enoguh force for his reigns to be pulled out of the hold.

Like a proud zu hovering over a next of defenseless fledgelings, the purple chocobo stood over Chocomate and swawked a crude victory song in his name. This bar was his master's teritory and that meant this stable was his. Any other chocobo stabled here was his to do with as he pleased. He had to make it known to any newcomer that they were subsurbiant to him, The King of all Chocobo, Hyperion.

Half concussed, Chocomate though that Hyperion was a stupid name for a chocobo and, once he could strand stright, and make the other two Hyperion disapper, he was going to give the brute a pecking he wouldn't forget.

"Hey, look boss." One of the thugs standing over the soped Yujo said with a sneer of the unintelgent brute. "The 'flames got themselves another kickable!"

Soaking wet, Yujo could only smolder at the mention of the anti-lalafell slur.

"Hey, Boss, hows about we have our fun with this one and send it back to The Flames in two bags!"

"Let's tie 'er to Hyperon's riens and have him practice for the Gold Saucer GP down near The Footfolds!"

"I say we throw them to the Almaja and watch those freaks turn them into one of their zombies, that's always fun to watch!"

A thump on the table got the brutes to shut up. Knowing that they were clearly not the top dog in the pack, the brutes gave way to a dirty blonde- in multiple senses of the word- huyr woman who walked to Yujo and pulled her face up level to herself.

"Do you know why we're doing this to you?"

Yujo remained silent.

"It may well be that you did us no wrong. But your place in the world is what drives our hatred on. You bear the banner of the Flames. And banners like those are our enemy."

A moment of silence passed before Yujo mutterd something.

"What?" Milleuda said leaning in closer.

"I 'said', "Go make that someone else's problem!" " Yujo yelled as she hulled back and made for a swing, only for the cry of two chocobo outside to grab everyone's attention, causing Yujo's swing to miss and spin around as Milleuda turned in response to hearing Hyperion.

She and the rest of the brigands shared a nod and ran out the bar with Yujo in tow. Yujo could only stare as she observed the cloud of feathers and dust as Chocomate and Hyperion began to pummel at each other.

"C-Chocomate!" Yujo called out, catching Milleuda's attention.

Before she could run in to pull the pure-bread off of Chocomate, Yujo was intercepted by a sharp kick to the gut by Millueda.

"You get your stupid jennet off my Hyperion. Now!" she screamed as she pulled Yujo up by the neck.

Wheezing from the pain, Yujo stared back at Millueda with one eye shut. "You get him off my Chocomate."

"You just have no idea who you are fucking with, do you?" Milleuda uttered as she motioned to the goons. They readied themselves to pummel the lalafell as the leader of the Corpse Bregarde wound back to throw Yujo to the ground.

In the middle of the scuffle, Chocomate kicked Hyperion off him and pulled himself up just in time to see what was happening to Yujo. Realising what was happening, he crowed out a loud war song and send himself flying at speed towards Millueda. The huyr had no chance to see the attack coming and was knocked clean off her feet, throwing the lalafell into the air for Chocomate to catch on his saddle effortlessly.

Millueda pulled herself up and was ready to start the fight anew when one of her goons made a noise. "Shit! Boss, the calvery!"

A sneer crossed Milleuda's face as she saw that there was a contingent of Imortal Flames and Brass Blades making their way towards them. She snicked out an Ala Mighian cuss and motioned her boys to split.

Hyperion, left somewhat confused as to what happened looked around before he heaard Milleuda scream out for him and he started to scamper off.

Yujo floped off of Chocomate's saddle and, somehow, stood up.

"Y-Yeah. T-That will teach you to… to… Oh, gods, there go my legs…"

She floppped backwads and lay on the floor, the pain of being pummeled on having caught up to her. In her fatuged state she could see Chocomate pecking at her in concern before another figgure, a white haired huyr man dressed in dark blue approchaed and looked over her.

As she flittered in and out of conciousness he could hear his chuckle and say something about a "Y'shtola", whatever that was…

…

Yujo woke up with a start and her entire body nipping in pain. She realised she was back in her room in The Hourglass, lying on the bed and in her nightclothes. Still half awake she made her way to the glamour dresser to see herself and check for any damage.

Somehow, inspite of all that, she barely had a hair out of place.

Then she noticed a note and a rose. She picked up the note and started to read it.

"Your chocobo is in the stable - Thancred Waters."

She paniced. Chocomate! She quickly threw something on to make herself decent and rushed out of the Inn, quickly throwing the rose into the gil dish at the side of Momodi's counter as she made her way past.

After what felt like an eternity of running. Yujo found herself at the stables where a perfectly fine, all be it bandaged up, Chocomate was wating for her. "I Genuinly don't know how you ended up getting him banged up like that, but for the love of The Twelve, Don't do it again. If you get your licence revoked it looks bad on my record.

Yujo didn't pay any attention as she held Chocomate to her.

From out of sight, a mi'qote looked on, her intrest noted by the swishing of her tail.

Illyria's Ancient, Dionysos, I don't have any pictures of, because they're supposed to be South Asian-looking (eg, east india/pakistan/afghanistan), dark skinned, and fat. Also very HAHA GENDER? GENDER IS A GAME AND I'M WINNING. So... I haven't learned enough Crimes to do that. Someday I should either draw them or commission someone to draw them...

Ryuu's Ancient, Hyperion, however, I mostly created! PLEASE IGNORE THE BUNNY EARS AS I SAID I DONT YET DO CRIMES. ... Venat stuck them on his head as a joke. Or something.

Hyperion isn't Azem; he's the First Adjutant to the Words of Azem, which means he's functionally Azem's second-in-command. He's also Azem's spouse. He's also Venat's younger brother; younger by A LOT, though (closer in age to Hyth, Azem, & Emet-Selch). Their parents basically had him and then returned to the star, leaving Venat to raise him by herself (one reason that, at least in our RP/story, Venat is so determined to never leave work unfinished, because she resented their parents for doing that to her brother... and yet also has to learn that there IS a time to let things go) (I realized recently that this gives them both a lot of parallels to Azdaja and Vrtra...)

Hyperion uses he/him pronouns mostly but he is very much genderfluid. Sometimes he has Lady Days. Where he's still he/him. He/him but like, a woman. Sometimes he makes a game of it to see how long it takes anyone to notice when he's wearing his Standard Robes. His hair color means that people occasionally ask if he's related to Lahabrea, which he resents.

He's NOT an Astrologian; the device there is something he tentatively calls a "computer" (ha). He would consider himself instead a psychohistorian; he makes broad predictions based on history, sociology, and statistical analysis. These are explicitly NOT prophecies, they're predictions. His predictions can be a smidge more precise than in Asimov though and aren't --just-- psychohistory. TL;DR he does Maths to chart trajectories of possible futures. He was actually there in Elpis when our story's WoL/Azem shard, Kian, traveled back in time. Like Venat, he was able to figure out that this was a time traveler pretty quickly; unlike Venat he kept his silence.

Personality wise, Hyperion appears a lot more collected, reserved, and precise than Azem or Venat... but he hides a secret playful side, and has some very Azem-ish traits of his own. Originally, he was in line to be the next Azem, but Selene got the post instead; he was initially extremely jealous and upset, but she won him over.

To all of you who have an Azem/Ancient design for your WoL/FFXIV OC: I wish you a very can I see them and tell me their names/lore.

So I went to meet Big Sippin for the FFXIV x Mountain Dew collab they announced, and here's his portrait, FC, Adventure Plate, and pics from inside the house.

more info on the collab here

he's at Hyperion > Goblet > ward 21 > plot 9

[capriccio-ffxiv]

did I go ahead and use a fantasia so I could accompany my friend's WoL as my character's Ancient when he got to Elpis? yes. (he's so damn pretty though I think I'll have to save him somewhere)

Doing the omicron quests in FFXIV which I'm now a little sad I put these off because Such Classic Sci-fi homage, extremely relevant to the venn diagram of my interests. Ultima Thule is Such a science fiction location. The Dead Ends is also Such a Sci-fi Dungeon

But

I've never read Arthur C. Clarke because I have a beef with 2001 A Space Odyssey (the movie) but I might have to read Childhood's End because both Xenogears and FFXIV make reference to it (Karellan/Krellian/Karellian)

The Freedom Fighter and the Global Citizen might as well be the viewpoint characters of This is How You Lose the Time War (probably coincidental, this sort of Enemy Mine situation happens.... Fairly Frequently)

Probably also not a direct reference but I always saw Ra-la The Last Mercy as the same concept as the Shrike from Hyperion (one of my favorite books, Canterbury tales iiiiiiiiinnn spaaaaaace the author has sadly went a bit loony)

While we're at it: the Ea seem to be a nod to Player of Games (they share a name with the alien race from that book, but no other resemblance--HIGHLY recommend that weird ass book though)

The restaurant I mean cafe at the end of the universe? Why hello, Douglas Adams
