RP HOOKS –––

Larkin Ode of the Coliseum: If you know anything about the sport of Gladiating or have been in the vicinity of the Ul’dah Coliseum, you’ll know Larkin Ode’s name even if just from a whisper. After fighting for her freedom as a young Miqo’te, she’s made a return to the sport in a major way and gained acclaim around the city of Ul’dah for her hot streak of success - Maybe you’ve even been lucky enough to see her fight! 

Honor & Justice: Before she was a Gladiator, Larkin served as a Sultansworn. She was your stereotypical Woman of the Law, never one to break a rule or push a boundary (Though those days are long gone). If you’re familiar with the Sultansworn, you might’ve encountered Larkin somewhere along the way before she discharged herself to go back to fighting. In fact, she may have even tried to arrest you before. 

A Fight for Freedom: Lark, having been born in captivity, spends a large majority of her down time searching and freeing or buying slaves from their current situation. She’d do anything if it meant liberating a life, and won’t stop until she can do so - Even if it takes her everything. She’s often traveling because of this cause, and has a group of people working for her that aid in this cause.

Tradition to Honor: Having grown up in less than ideal circumstances, Larkin built herself a network of freed and escaped captives who’d been through similar times, ranging from friends of her own Estate to other strays who needed solace. Once a year, she gathers all of those people together and holds a one-day long festival filled with drinking and singing, and will never turn a hand away who’d like to attend. 

*angry smol miqo’te noises*: She is smol. And it’s kinda funny.

Hey, I started playing FFXIV recently - here’s a little sketch dump of the Au Ra I made! So far I’m really enjoying the game (finished ARR now and slowly progressing HW) and you might expect to see some more Final Fantasy content here on now  ٩(◕‿◕｡)۶

“Dance with me, Raha~”

“A warrior must subdue himself before he can subdue his enemies. Clear eyes see accurately. The quiet mind thinks calmly. The steady hand strikes decisively. Mad passion flares brightly and quickly burns itself out. Stoke the steady flames of discipline, wisdom, and will.”

So I got this a while ago of Takakage facing down a mysterious foe but I never really got around to properly posting it over my break from Tumblr and FFXIV, plus just the crazy hell of a month August as been. But this is one of my fav pieces of art of I’ve ever gotten and I would just be really happy to share it with you all! This wonderful piece of Takakage was done by: https://www.deviantart.com/naufalaka Go check em out! They do awesome stuff.

A warning to the people, the good and the evil: This is war To the soldier, the civilian, the martyr, the victim: This is war It’s the moment of truth and the moment to lie, And the moment to live and the moment to die The moment to fight, the moment to fight, To fight, to fight, to fight!

[swansongffxiv]

A warning to the prophet, the liar, the honest: This is war To the leader, the pariah, the victor, the messiah: This is war It’s the moment of truth and the moment to lie, And the moment to live and the moment to die The moment to fight, the moment to fight, To fight, to fight, to fight!

Honestly I am open to pretty much anything and have done pretty much everything including a perma-death a couple of times which turned out to be rather moving moments even if I poured out some liquor for my fallen characters *smirks*. All depends on the situations, character and the partners involved since communication is a must. Either way I am very flexible.

Jonquil: Has your character ever confessed their love for someone? How did it go?

“ I would never do something so idiotic.. “ The hiss was followed by her usual scoff at such a subject. In fact, it was true she had never confessed or admitted to any romantical emotion towards anyone. Even when she had let herself slip under the spell briefly she never outright admitted to feeling any such way. Instead she showed it subtly with her actions. It had only been a few times that she still remembered. Now these are memories that she choses not to think about or recall anymore. “ and I don’t have any plans to do so in the foreseeable future. “
