Names and Info under the cut.

1: Florentel Valeriant {Coeurl}

Born into a lesser noble house that serves House Haillenarte, his family specializes in making/selling candles and wax seals as well as offering their lives as knights for the greater house. His family consists of his mother and two older brothers. Probably because of being weakened for birthing twins a few years earlier, Camille Valeriant had a rough time with Florentel’s birth, with the young Ishgardian almost dieing at birth. Due to this, he had a weaker body and it took him much more effort to become a knight like his deceased father. After meeting his future husband, Sorrel, and being awed by the other man’s strength he left Ishgard to join Sorrel’s party for adventures and to get stronger.... now knowing what REALLY awaited him. Goes by ‘Ren’ most the time. Owns a small with Sorrel in LB and has an apartment in Ishgard. (This precious bean is my Azem.)

2 and 3: Sybil Kepesk and Irisvir Kepesk {Mateus}

The Kepesk siblings from the Steppe. Part of the Malaguld tribe until they chose to explore the world. Their father is a Raen who had fled doma, and having been found by the Malaguld tribe injured by beasts, he joined them. Later he met a dazkar that stole his heart, and luckily she was fine with leaving her tribe to marry him. As such, Sybil grew up helping care for his little sister Irisvir, from cooking to sewing torn holes in her clothing. He can go from ‘family man’ to ‘serious and deadly’ if needed. Irisvir is full of wonderlust, hence when she wanted to leave the Steppe, he went with to protect her. In Eorzea, they met a Duskwight Paladin, Abela Anselm, who later became Sybil’s wife. They became adventurers. (Technically pseudo WOL/WODs. Different world/universe than Florentel. Sorrel is Sybil and Abela’s son. Due to certain circumstances, Sorrel had to world hop. ) Sybil has a small in Ishgard and Irisvir has her FC, Falling Snows (owned by Abela, Sybil's wife), in Ishgard as well.

4 and 5: Baldr and Hodr Alfgeir {Coeurl}

Originally residents of the 13th shard. Due to intervention of an Ascian (Friend’s OC), Baldr was saved and shielded from the corruption with a contract to his voidsent turned little brother until a portal allowed them to slip through to Eorzea. Tricking the Ascian, Baldr managed to return Hodr back to his original form, albeit fluctuating between voidsent form when in battle and with a consciousness that fluctuates just as much. At least they are there for each other and Hodr can stay sane/in normal form if he is careful.

6: Kazeninotte Hanabira {Coeurl}

The daughter of Irisvir and G’raha. Hence she has fluff going down the top of her scaled tail that ends in a puff. Kinda like an asian dragon’s tail. She is a free spirit who loves to dance. She just goes about doing her own thing. Literally. She travels around as a performer, dancing for gil. Occasionally she will help out in a battle or two. She loves swimming and seafood. Out of one of her spur of the moment choices, she followed Sorrel and is now stuck in Florentel’s timeline. Not that it matters... because she just does her own thing.

7: Loifa {Halicarnassus} (Loifa Brighteyes in game)

NPC from the Sage quests. His story begins after the quests. More to be edited in later.

8: Janlenoux Courcillant {Diabolos} (Ser Janlenoux in game)

Knights Heavensward NPC. Canon divergant. Lives with Adelphel with fake identities in Gridania. Owns a cozy little small in LB.

9-? I have more but these are my lovelies that I focus on more. I decided to limit the maximum number of characters on here to make it easier on me.

🌊RP HOOKS 🌊

From Foreign Shores: Lorh's accent is clearly not from Eorzea and she has the rough air and vocabulary of a former pirate. Perhaps you recognize her from a trip through the Ruby Sea?

Conscripted Service: Lorh has spent much of the last year completing a semi-voluntary stint under Maelstrom command. Her time aboard The Crying Gull may not have been her plan in coming to Limsa, but she didn't waste the chance to make contacts. Were you a fellow conscript or sailor?

Pragmatic Pistolier: Since coming to Limsa she has picked up the use of a pistol to augment her sword work and is slowly gaining skill as she finds people to teach her. Perhaps you've got skills with a pistol that she might want to learn about?

Dangerous Dealings: Now that Lorh's been released from the Maelstrom's service she's ready to find more stable and fulfilling work. Her expertise has always been in moving objects, information, or people to places they're needed. Are you looking for someone with her skills? Are you a rival working in Limsa?

🌊OOC INFORMATION 🌊

Answers about what happened to the rest of her old crew.

Nice clothes.

That one tea that they used to get when they'd take tithe from merchants from Kugane.

I’M LOOKING FOR

LGBTQ+ Friendly spaces to hang out in.

Collaborative storytelling and character development.

Partners to write with - I prefer in game until we've established ourselves, then Discord or Google Docs is fine.

Short or long-term stories!

I'm not looking for romance or ERP - this character has a pre-established relationship in the works. =)c

A Journey Begins

It all started in the depths of winter on a tiny island in the seas south of Vylbrand. This island was not all that special, just a plot of fertile enough land shared by a family, one that generations now had toiled and tilled, won with their blood, sweat and coin.

Started by Durara Dura and currently run by her children, Durara Farms had grown to become a premier supplier of vegetables to parts of La Noscea to its north, and less so to other parts of Eorzea. The oldest son, Shahu Chidohu ran the business with his family and his brothers and their families. It wasn’t anything fabulous -  the homes were hand built, the land was hand worked and the money was hard won - but it was theirs and, like many islands nearby, it had escaped the Calamity unscathed. 

It was expected that Shahu’s children would end up inheriting the place in the end, but they had other plans for their lives… Kell Sorrell was the middle child, short even for a lalafell, with sea-green eyes and a mop of brown hair that resembled dandelion fluff on the best of days. He had an older brother who had left to follow his dream of a fishing venture and younger sister who wanted nothing more than to grow new things rather than the same old tried and true her father and family were so proud of. With Ibi Sobi away as often as he was, Kell knew he’d likely be the one asked to carry on the family business. The only thing worse than that to Kell would be a meal of Mun-Tuy beans… His cousins would be far more suited to it, and they had discussed as much over many a night hidden away in their secret nook by the beach. To leave wasn’t so hard of a choice to make, in the end. 

That cold winter night, with a storm raging outside, Kell finally stood up for what he wanted. Quite probably for the first time in his adult life, as a matter of fact. Over dinner that he only poked at, he spoke of leaving. Of heading to Eorzea and making his own way, like the adventurers that sometimes passed through their docks. His father argued that it was silly. His brother, that he had no idea what he was going to do. His mother, that he’d get himself killed. His sister, to come with him…  But they stopped when he yelled for them to. Mostly out of shock, but it was enough for Kell to continue. For the first time that night, he didn’t stutter. He loved them dearly, but he couldn’t stay here. If he stayed here…

Kell had passage to Limsa Lominsa within the week. Satoto cried, but he promised to send her as many flowers and seeds as he could, from anywhere and everywhere he could. Kamonon made him promise to visit often and gave him far more than enough food for the journey. His mother wouldn’t cry until he was out of sight, he knew. Shahu was stern, warning him to come back rather than let himself get killed out there. Not a blessing to leave, but the closest he thought he’d get… Ibi had left in a huff right as the storm cleared, muttering about Kell abandoning the family (At least I stayed close by! he’d accused). Kell, being one to avoid conflict normally, never replied.

The rest of the family was there to send him off as well, with love and well wishes. From his cousins most especially. They knew him best of all and were confident he’d do well. Taking an old ax with him, he left the only home he’d ever known, stepping onto a ship filled with more strangers than he’d ever seen in one place before. And that, watching an island disappear on the horizon, was the beginning. Nothing was ever the same after that day, both for better and for worse… 

[varethane]

Alzadaal's Legacy was fun u_u

[varethane]

"Let me change into something more comfortable" OH YOU MEANT, RIGHT HERE?? uh... okay...

[varethane]

I had an absolutely delightful time in Elpis.

(If Emet is going to insist on treating me like a misbehaving pet, then I will absolutely proceed to live up to this expectation by being the most chaotic gremlin imaginable. I will conveniently leave all this out of my reports to the Scions so they can keep thinking I'm dutiful and responsible.)

[varethane]

Please, Alphinaud, don't call attention to my under-utilized "sponge for beast tribe/PVP experience" jobs whose rotations I have yet to learn....

[varethane]

My superpower is that I still get lost in almost every single ARR dungeon.

[varethane]

I noticed the other day after an Alexander run that I have finally become the player who vanishes immediately at the end of a duty..... and this comic was born.

[varethane]

I've been doing the Vanu beast tribe quests and ran across this one, where they basically give you fantasy catnip and have you catch five of these adorable little critters.

I had just caught a second intoxicated gaelicat when it suddenly hit me, that my Warrior of Light is a miqo'te. And now I can't stop wondering about this...

[varethane]

I unlocked Black Mage very recently and the level 5 Thaumaturge questline absolutely cracked me up.

[varethane]

Picking up an alt class that starts at level 1 after reaching endgame on your main be like....

[varethane]

crouching miqo'te, hidden edgelord

[varethane]

Sometimes I wonder if I should feel bad divebombing directly down at quest-giving NPCs in Ishgard when riding Midgardsormr...

I will not stop doing it, however.

[varethane]

I don't usually have much of a problem with this, but BOY when I'm on an alternate subpar internet arrangement, it sure can make things spicier than they need to be during raids/extremes.... anyway this comic is based on a true story.
