{  * defensive assist  }

finn wouldn't say he expected this, but after losing a war he was raised to endure, he tries to prepare for the worst. no, eyeball monsters slamming through the windows of lotus hall's ballroom was not on his list of assumed events, but...it doesn't surprise him as much as it might most people. some of these people are probably cushy nobles that have never known violence a day in their lives, so horrified by the idea of so much as an injury.

finn is used to fighting, so as people flee every which way, his course of action is clear: fight. most people heed laurelia's advice, providing some semblance of order, but it's still mostly chaos, and finn is glad vivian was beside him for the speeches, otherwise he would be among the frantic trying to find her.

sure, he has an employer; he's supposed to be a bodyguard today, so finding her is also urgent, but finn trusts ziyu enough to take care of herself and sorry, but his sister takes priority. finn has few people left in this world, and besides, ziyu already paid him so handsomely that even if he ultimately fails at his job and word gets around that he's a shitty mercenary, he'll be set for long enough to find something else to do.

vivian is top priority. he thinks it's only fair, after the way he abandoned her last year. now that he has his head on straight again he realizes in many ways it's just them; he and vivian against the world, or maybe he's still being too much of a stubborn idiot. many people he lost are self-inflicted; he ran into leila and yura here again as well, and he hopes they'll be fine.

he can't worry about them, though. right now, it's vivian by his side, and he drags her along with him to fetch his weapon so he doesn't lose her, just as much for how tiny she is as anything else.  

by the time they return to the ballroom, fully prepared to fight, the mogalls outnumber the fighters. finn hopes the numbers will even out as more people gather their weapons, but it seems even more filter in through the windows every time one is felled.

speak of the devil: one locks it's large eye on vivian, and thankfully, the creature isn't too fast. it summons its dark miasma for a moment before it attacks, so there's a brief time to prepare–– at least long enough for him to step in front of his sister as the creature hurls an orb of dark magic. he doesn't know if blocking would help against the magic, but he only partially gets his sword up in time, and tanks the rest of the hit.

it burns, but just a little. "i'm good," he assures his sister, but that miasma forms around their enemy again. "get ready to dodge."

@ufvivian​

asher is in trouble. well, that’s not new, but he’s usually smarter than the people he’s in trouble with. or at least faster. but this time it seems that his luck failed him; he’s pissed off the wrong person and not only do they know this city better than he does (and all of the shortcuts; he’s nearly been cut off and cornered three times), but they have a surprising amount of endurance for such a large person. asher’s really wondering how he got caught up in this. all he did was take a bite of an apple —one that he fully intended to pay for, for the record— before the merchant was suddenly blowing his lid, screaming at asher and threatening to call the authorities. asher, with an apple in his mouth and hand halfway into his coin purse, did what any rational person would do: he ran.

it’s amazing how the merchant manages to have the breath to shout expletives and threats at asher with all of the running they’re doing. through the shouting, he thinks he’s been able to put together at least half of the story. apparently some group of kids has been robbing this merchant blind. kids that supposedly look just like him, or maybe the man just needs glasses. asher doesn’t stop to find out, though he’s a bit more sympathetic if he does. shame on those kids for robbing a blind man, though asher had really tried to pay him properly. he clutches the once-bitten apple in his hand; he didn’t think to put it down and now that he’s on the run, he’s not giving it back.

taking a glance over his shoulder, he’s pleased to see that the man is starting to slow down, that asher is finally starting to make some ground for his escape. whew! he’s glad he’s in such good shape! he’s still looking back when he rounds a corner and— bam! he collides with another body, one that easily folds under his force and they both topple to the ground. “shit-” asher’s apple is knocked out of his hand, rolling away to be trampled by other pedestrians traveling up and down the street. now it’s really not worth all of the running he just did. “sorry, i’m so sorry,” he doesn’t have time to apologize, not when the merchant is still on his tail. but asher realizes he knocked over a little girl and he’s afraid she’ll start crying or something, so he’s sort of freaking out. “i didn’t see you there! are you okay? um, actually, i’m so sorry, but i really have to go. i hope you’re alright!”

he’s picking himself up off the ground to take off into a sprint again. but, much to his dismay, he finds himself staring into the face of a merchant who is no less red in the face than when he first started screaming and sputtering. shit. asher’s luck certainly has run out today.

hi everyone!  💓 first intro because i prewrote this pog? i am so excited omg [suddenly forgets how to write an intro] uhhh...i’m so happy to meet everyone! everyone should have already gotten a message from me by now, but regardless, i’m carly, aka [drumroll] admin eirika! honestly cannot express how excited and thankful i am that you’re all here. it’s really surreal to me that uf is actually open after i’ve worked on it pretty much every day since mid may. it was originally just a fun project for me that i didn’t really think would amount to anything, and then i put so much effort in that i had to see it through SDDSGSDGSDG and it’s already been fun to run, and this is only the start! really looking forward to being y’all’s admin for a long time 💕

ALL OF THAT ASIDE, i know i know some of you already and i know there are plenty of you that are brand new to me, so depending on who you are, it’s either great to see you again or meet you. i’m pumped to talk to and plot with everyone! you don’t have to like this post to plot because i’m in everyone’s ims anyway but if u want to like this post to, idk, validate me and give me attention or something, feel free SDSDGDGGD i’m honestly best at plotting through tumblr ims these days but i’m also @YURlLECLERC on twitter so feel free to follow me there if you’d like. it’s kind of a dumpster fire of a space, fair warning SDTSDGSDG but u will get to know me quickly!!

NOW who u really need to get to know is this guy ← finnuf, also known as kim finnian. i’ll ramble about him for a while under the cut!

finn is an emo bitch baby

but he’s almost valid. almost

his dad was the margrave of etlia, in charge of maintaining etlia’s border because their territory (lucinier) was on the border with gleerium

he wasn’t an Absent Father but he was a busy father that usually had finn babysat by a knight most of the time. teaching him how to fight was a team effort and he fell in love with the sword at a pretty young age

@ufvivian​ is his baby sister! (not actually baby, she’s only two years younger than him)

as a kid and teenager finn was kinda a punkass but in a way that was more endearing than annoying to most people. pretty charming and social and very eager to take over for his dad

not in a powerhungry way but in a “omg i am so excited being margrave seems so cool dad let me help” way but his dad never really humored him and told him to focus on growing up well

until his dad got sick

he somehow managed to transition finn into performing his duties slowly even as his health declined more and more

finn was margrave lucinier in everything but official title when gleerium launched their full scale invasion that ultimately led to etlia falling to them

his dad died right before gleerium reached and conquered dromare meaning finn was Actually margrave for like two days before king andreas stripped everyone in etlia of their power

as the one in charge of etlia’s border at the time he thinks the fall of etlia is his fault entirely

to make matters worse there are rumors that he actually poisoned his father because he wanted his power

finn was so humiliated and felt like such a failure, instead of rallying his people and trying to defy gleerium’s rule or at the very least encourage them in a time of extreme grief, he simply: ran away

he did not tell a single soul. he didn’t leave his sister a note, he managed to escape his loyal bodyguard without notice, literally not a word to anyone

he went about as far as he could get from gleerium and went to podakko, where he figured he could be whoever he wanted to be, even though he didn’t know who he wanted to be. not margrave lucinier, that’s for sure.

he’s been in podakko now for about a year and doesn’t talk about his past; he prefers to just go by finn.

he spends most of his time drinking and getting in fights now. he mostly fights for money in arena battles, but sometimes he will fight for free just for fun.

getting beat up feels thrilling, apparently. probably has something to do with him feeling like he deserves punishment or something. he needs therapy (too bad.)

he’s also a mercenary that takes just about any job, so he travels around the continent a lot on jobs, which means he can run into all sorts of people.

despite all of this he’s honestly not a bad guy. he has a really kind heart that he now has under lock and key because he’s experienced so much pain in the past year. sometimes he’s sarcastic and acts full of himself but a lot of times he’s sincere and just Sad. he tries to still be charming tho. we’ll see how he does with that as i write him LMAO

i always imagined he has lots of healer friends since he gets beat up so much. thanks to warp pads he can probably get to u no matter where u are!

also worth noting that he hates gleerium. he has some wistful plan in his head about going back to gleerium and killing everyone responsible for the fall of etlia but he hasn’t worked out how to do it yet

he’s stupid but thankfully not stupid enough to assassinate anyone without some kind of plan. not yet anyway

this is all i can think of for now, which i’m sure is plenty SDSDGSDG thank u for reading and i’m very excited to plot with everyone <3

EDIT: he was also a student at lotus academy until his dad started getting sick, so he probably bailed about two years ago, just around when he started adult classes. he wasn’t mad about it, especially because as he got older the gleerium kids really started pissing him off
