"Who's got a fluffy tail and two parents? This gal!" No tragic backstory over here! Her family survived the Garlean occupation and are just fine. Her sister is off doing reporter cat stuff, she's fiiiine.

Bring me back into the fold!

Reblog if your an FFXIV blog!

Help the lost Twitter spirits find us all.

[captainjoryn]

Would you please reblog or like or reply to this if you are also an FFXIV blog, no matter what kind of FFXIV content you post? I really need to liven up/kick off my dash on this account and have no idea where to start really!

This is an FFXIV blog for my two OCs, who both have WoL, Ancient/Unsundered and regular adventurer universes by the way. If you think you'd like to interact with some new muses, maybe you could follow me too! I will be posting lots of writing and screenshots here, as well as headcanons and all sorts of other things!

[captainjoryn]

Lol I FINALLY REMEMBERED MY PASSWORD! But seeing as how Sayu is happily retired from "the life", Joryn here will be running the blog in her place.

[captainjoryn]

Hey I'm still alive im just waaaay more active on my twitter. Sayu is permanently a lalafell my daughter demanded it. So have some dancer Sayu done by @guttybee on twitter!

POC WOL WEEK DAY 5 CATCH UP!: BEST FRIENDS

Sayu doesn’t hang around many people. She’s a solitary kind of woman and has acquaintances and very few real friends. The late Lord Hauchefaunt and his boundless energy and devotion to Sayu made for a quick if not odd relationship. Sayu adored him and his death hurt. She occasionally visits his grave and has a chat. Sayu is also friends with Minfillia’s adopted mother F'lhaminn. Both being a bit on the older side, they’ve known each other for years and share various kinds of tea with each other. Sayu spends time with her when she has a free moment and enjoys the moments of calm she spends with her.

POC WOL WEEK DAY 4 (Catch up!): Dressed to Kill

Sayu is a hard practitioner of skirts, leggings, jackets, and boots. She normally hates formal gatherings since they usually require her to be disarmed, but if she has to go, dammit she’ll look good doing it.

POC WoL Week Day 3 (catchup): Adventure 

Sayu is a woman of knowledge and what better place for her to gain more than the Great Gubal Library?

look at this bean tho

LFRP - Malika (Mal) Bajihri

Malika is easy-going, flirtatious, and up for any challenge where a risk or gamble is involved. She’s also incredibly reckless, impulsively throwing herself into one bad idea after another just for the thrill of seeing how Nymeia will ultimately spin her fate.

THE BASICS –––

Name: Malika (Mal) Bajihri

Age: 24

Nameday: Mal doesn’t actually know her own Nameday and, if she did, she wouldn’t give it out; she’d make a new one up every time she was asked. Her actual Nameday is: 17th Sun of the 5th Umbral Moon (October 17th)

Race: Keeper of the Moon, Miqo’te

Gender: Female

Alignment: Chaotic Neutral (leaning towards Chaotic Good, but not quite there…)

Marital Status: “Unattached and unshackled by choice”

Server: Balmung

PHYSICAL APPEARANCE –––

Hair: Her natural hair color is black as night, sometimes with colorful highlights. However, she often wears disguises for her “jobs” and will dye her hair or wear different colored wigs as she sees fit (or fun).

Eyes: They’re so dark blue they’re nearly black

Height: 62.4 inches (5′2″)

Build: Unlike many of the adventurers and otherwise hard-working individuals that she associates herself with, Malika is not a muscular goddess carved from stone and steel. In fact, while she’s extremely dexterous, she’s a bit softer than her allies. While Malika can and will fight if backed into a corner, she feels that if she’s forced to draw a weapon she’s probably already lost the fight anyway. She prefers to talk her way out of conflict. While she stays fit, her body betrays that fighting and hunting are not her pastimes of choice.

Common Accessories: At least one weapon that she hopes not to use (typically daggers), an instrument (usually a wood flute), lockpicks, gambling items (a bit of gil for wagers, playing cards, several sets of dice), a deck of arcanum cards, a hardsilver needle and some thread, a silver pinky ring that spins, and a few small trinkets of sentimental value (not all of them her own).

PERSONAL –––

Profession: Malika would say that she doesn’t have one. She does street performances as a musician and acrobat and engages in high risk wagers at the Gold Saucer. Realistically, Malika… doesn’t have one. She is a thief (pickpocket and infiltration) and con-artist.

Hobbies: Getting into trouble, running headlong into trouble, leaping straight into the arms of trouble. Also: sewing, music performances (flute, harp, lute, singing), fortune telling, acrobatics/gymnastics, drinking, getting places she should not be, taking things she should not take, games of chance, flirting, running away, collecting stuffed animals.

Languages: Common, Thieves’ Cant

Residence: Malika does not have one place that she stays and that is by design. But the place most like a permanent home, where she returns to time and again, is a daycare/healing resort in the Mist housing ward.

Birthplace: She doesn’t know. She assumes The Shroud. That’s where she was stolen away as a child anyway.

Patron Deity: Nymeia, the Spinner. And she’s surprisingly devout regarding the goddess’ more fickle aspects: chance, luck, and wagers.

RELATIONSHIPS –––

Spouse: Nooooope.

Children: See above.

Parents: She has no idea who her parents are. Similarly, she has little knowledge of Keeper culture in general as she was not raised in a tribe. She was found by a wandering performance caravan when she was a toddler.

Siblings: If she has actual siblings, she doesn’t know. But she has “adopted” a kid sister, a hyur named Maeryn. And she would kill for Maeryn if she had to.

Other Relatives: Shrug.

Pets: Oh no. Malika is not responsible enough to take care of pets. Don’t give her any.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION –––

Smoking Habit: Not usually, she might do it socially every now and then, but it has no particular draw for her otherwise.

Drugs: Not all drugs– but, yes.

Alcohol: Oh,yes. Definitely yes. She loves drinking and often does not have the willpower to stop herself.

RP HOOKS –––

Running from her past: Malika was found by a wandering performance troupe (band of thieves) that called itself The Nameless Caravan when she was a toddler. They raised her and trained in music, dance, acting, pickpocketing, etc.. However, they took all wages that she made, claiming them as payment for feeding, clothing, and training her. Eventually, she ran away…. but not before robbing them blind. And they haven’t forgotten.

Thief: Has someone told you that they have something “unstealable” in an “impenetrable” location? That person definitely wants someone to steal that thing or get into that place. Malika is willing to help with that. If you ask for Lia she’ll know you have a job for her. Despite being a thief, she actually dislikes gil and will often do jobs for the promise of mementos rather than money. She specifically wants to do jobs that stick it to those who wield their wealth disparity as a means to exert power over others.

Gambler: Mal believes in Fate, but she also believes that she can gain favor with Nymeia by “keeping her spinning.” She thinks of gambling, dares, taking risks, and the like as a means to court luck and court favor with Nymeia by keeping the goddess from getting too bored. It keeps Malika from being bored too! She will accept almost any offer of a good gamble or game of chance.

Con-artist: If you want to interact with Mal, look like an easy mark. If she introduces herself as ‘Lia’ she’s probably scheming.

Ask for help: She doesn’t really want to get involved in other people’s business. She’ll ignore a problem if she can. But if you ask her for help she will usually begrudgingly be that help. She will definitely help you if you need to escape from authority. She thinks her inability to say ‘no’ to someone in need is a weakness; it might actually be her one redeeming quality.

Talk to her at all: Malika is the cliche curious cat. She finds people fascinating. She enthusiastically throws herself into learning about others and is happy to chat up exactly, oh, let me check my notes… that’s right… everybody.

CONTACT INFORMATION  –––

Contacting me here on tumblr or finding me in game is the best bet. If you see Mal out int he world, please say hello! I’d love her to make more friends (or rivals, depending on what you think would be fun!)

I do have a Discord and I do RP on it. I don’t give that information out right away though. I’d like to interact in game or through tumblr a few times before I feel comfortable giving that information out.

I have craaaazy work hours. I work the night shift M-F. That means that I’m on very early in the morning and sometimes in the late afternoon/early evening. I’m usually not on very late unless it’s a weekend.

Notes –––

Ahhhh! I’m so excited to meet new characters and players! Malika pretends to be cool and collected when she can. Me? Nope! Can’t even pretend. I’m like a dog with a bone in its mouth, tail wagging behind her with excitement: Nice to meet you! I hope we RP soon!
