RE: Something about your character few know... - Parvacake - 10-22-2014
I've listed Lili before but figured I'd do some of my alts.
Sarameda (Lili's youngest and most fragile child) actually prefers the look of women over men and yet she's drawn to the stronger, masculine nature most men exude. She's never even dated and is petrified of touch but she has daydreamed about finding a very pretty boy who knows how to brawl.
Deisarameda (Lili's oldest daughter) actually enjoys when someone calls her a bitch. She finds it to be a compliment since she tries very hard to keep people away from herself due to the illness her and Sara were born with. They were also not sired by Lili's late husband, Ghislan. Only Khavan is Ghislan's biological child.
Khavan (Lili's oldest) actually dislikes most women as a general whole. Not because he's antifeminist or anything, but because he doesn't like the whiny, airheaded, or bitchy tendencies he has observed with many of the opposite sex. It's to the point where it's hard for him to be friends with many women outside of his immediate family simply because if he witnesses this kind of behavior he tends to call them out on it which leads them to dislike him.
Vadina (my Elezen) has a lot of bobby pins in her hair. Each of them serve a specific purpose and each can be used to pick a different kind of lock.
RE: Something about your character few know... - Crisiet - 10-22-2014
Only a few people really know how very, very self conscious Crisiet is when it comes to his physical appearance. He keeps himself covered up, due to a mass of scars and burns acquired over several battles against the Dravanian horde. He's terrified of exposing them. It's why you wont catch him on the beach or at the hot springs in a bathing suit.Â
He's afraid of the dark and tends to keep a lamp or three burning through the night.Â
He rants to his plants and chocobo when alone. They're the best listeners.
RE: Something about your character few know... - Anstarra - 10-22-2014
I've 'only' been playing Anstarra a year and change, but it's been a very solid year, with many hours spent RPing almost every single day, so there's been time for stuff to happen. Let's see, secrets...
1~ Anstarra isn't her real name. If anyone spoke her real, birth name, except the one she told it to, she would kill them.
2~ Her sept of miqo'te is a vicious, murderous and reclusive village hidden in the middle of nowhere; they all have abnormal, super-dense muscles, though she has no idea why (think Loup, in Jacqueline Carey's Santa Olivia books).
3~ An is quite mutable, aetherially; she responds well, and bounces back from, any kind of aetherial manipulation. This has caused her height, skin tone and eye color to change significantly, twice in the past year. Other times it's just made for cosmetic changes, like when her hair turned purple because she was hit by lightning.
4~ She has a bizarre, otherworldly book with a face on it. It makes people uncomfortable. It also tells her your secrets, if you're OOCly alright with it (I will never abuse this, but if you're looking for a plot hook involving something you wish others could know but can't tell them ICly...).
5~ Once, she was insanely in love. Most people know this. What's not known is how far she's fallen since it ended. She intends to murder Menphina...

Her overall driving goal has always been payback for something or other, even if the exact target shifts from time to time. It's also why I RP her as having only the Titan-Egi (at this time): Titan's reason for attacking in the story is vengeance against the "sons of man" driving the Kobolds out of territory that is rightfully theirs, much how Jana feels about the Garleans setting up shop in Castrum Oriens.
Jancis found that out the hard way.
RE: Something about your character few know... - Oscare - 10-22-2014
Oscare's locked himself in a mental and emotional prison. When he's in a very, very unstable and mad mood -- he becomes very murderous. During his time in the Imperial army, he picked up the title 'A Monster Without a Name', and was known as just 'Nameless Iono' for a while. A certain event in the Imperial army not only got him discharged dishonorably from the military, but he remarked "I sold my soul, now I will carry a vendetta against humanity."
He regained social interaction ability, which got him labeled as a sociopath because he has not been released from his prison and has no where near forgotten his vendetta.
RE: Something about your character few know... - Kellach Woods - 10-22-2014
I think I found something.
Kellach doesn't believe in the Twelve per se. As in, he's in Eorzea and outright saying "Y'all are crazy" would be utter suicide, especially with his own system of beliefs that some more zealous people would say is primal worship. It's an elemental based system of rites that does not have faces itself, but rather worships the elements as they are. Lightning is just a lightning bolt. Wind is the wind, etc.
Lately, he's starting to be a bit more open about his beliefs, but it's something he wanted to discard when he left his homeland, only to find that he still wanted at least some anchor to his homeland if necessary. He's planning on making a journey there to pay his respects to a recently deceased family member and pick up his former book of rites.
RE: Something about your character few know... - Cliodhna Eoghan - 10-25-2014
Cliodhna hates her named shortened to "Clio" IC (ooc is fine.) As of right now; only two people have been granted the ability to use that nickname for her. One is living but the other is long dead.
She also has a small tattoo that is kept hidden.
RE: Something about your character few know... - Ridegmuve - 10-25-2014
Now these never actually came up in RP, but they are there, I'll attach reasons for each of them.
1 - Iliette cannot use her Aether - This is because it brings her back memories of her childhood, Iliette's mother trying to teach her arcanist abilities (if we have to translate them to jobs, otherwise, just read as basic controlling aether etc.). Both of Iliette's parents died in a house fire, while Iliette sneaked out, she got back as the inn/tavern they owned was already up in flames. Even when she does use it (mostly for teleport or something equally as minor) it has unexpected results, making occasionally Iliette port to places she has never been or even further from her destination, making her even more lost than she has ever been.
2 - Iliette was part of a bandit gang and ate others (unknowingly) - After loosing her parents Iliette was a beggar, an urchin on the streets, nobody willing to take in a Duskwight child, she got recruited by a Crazy Moon Keeper Miqo'te and his gang, she was made to fight others and when they were victorious they got a nice meal (out of the weakest member of the gang) and nobody questioned either where the meat came from or where the missing others went... This sort of life also made her very cold and cruel way of thinking (Only the strong deserve to live). (If any of you played Jade Empire she would most likely be following the Path of the Closed Fist)
3 - Iliette served time - Now above mentioned gang was eventually arrested and put on trial, along with all of it's members, due to her talent witnessed by a soldier (and soon to be mentor) Iliette was released on parole with the conditions of not leaving Gridania and remaining with mentor until her supposed prison sentence expires (which it did on her reaching the age of 17)
4 - Iliette's natural talent is actually fist fighting - Iliette uses a lance as her choosen weapon, because she thinks it takes more grace and skill to wield it, rather then punch things.Â
5 - Iliette owns land - The location of the tavern/inn and the land under it does legally belong to Iliette. She has made a small portion of it into a grave sight for her dead parents and their comrades who have called it a home, which she cleans and cares for and spends time there to commemorate their death.
