More recent commission work! A bunch of headshots of lovely characters, had a lot of fun with these. Characters belong to their respective owners! My commissions are still open, so if you'd like a slot or want to find out more, click here!

Here's some commissions I've done these past couple months! Characters belong to their respective owners, it was a joy to draw them~ Fancy a commission from me? More info can be found on my Commission Info Page ~

Some artwork I did of my OC Riki Kaneuchi and her BF, Ryusei Kazunari (belongs to dragoonslament)!

Hi, it's ya boy Oyuu and I draw sometimes - mainly FFXIV and D&D stuff. I currently have commissions open, find all the info and T&C's by clicking right here! More details on pricing and how commissions work can be found on my Commission Info Page - Please read over it! Find more examples of my work over at my art blog or twitter. Thank you for taking the time to click and read, I'll be posting art here on occasion! o/

You trade them in for gear in Illdyshire (Alexander) or Rhalgr's Reach (Deltascape). If you don't need the gear or seals from turning in the gear at your GC, then just trash 'em.

Just wanted to address this question since I don't think it was really answered - There is a big difference between what you are out of character (An omni-crafter with all Disciple of War/Magic Jobs at 70 for instance) vs. what you define what you are in character (Say, a weak merchant that dabbles only in weaving and thaumaturgy.) No one is going to look at your levelled jobs, your Grand Company rank, etc. and base your character on that. It's what you roleplay and write your character to be. For example, I can roleplay on my Astrologian at an RP event for two hours, turn off my RP tag when it is finished then go queue up in a dungeon as a Dark Knight. People can choose when they are In-Character or Out-of-Character at their leisure, and you'll find that no one is ever constantly IC. I remember when I started RPing for the first time on FFXIV (my first MMO), that I was surprised that people had 'Roleplay Outfits'. They didn't just walk about in their full raid gear. They wore what their character would wear, and it was pretty easy to recognise who was a PvEr and who was an RPer. It's even easier to recognise roleplayers now with the RP tag. If you're ever unsure, do what I did and just... lurk. Politely, of course! Standing around in the Quicksand (a big hub for walk-up RP) or going to a public RP event is a good way to observe how people /emote and such and get a feel for how to write in-game, how to approach and interact with others ICly. Take it slow, and I'm sure you'll make friends and good roleplay. I wish you luck on Mateus!

Assuming you play on Balmung, there's groups like the Watcher's Eye (I think that's what its called???) and Ebonguard for crimey wimey stuff. Just take a look at the Linkshell/Free Company clubs here and see if any tickle your fancy. But in essence, finding darker/criminal RP is the same as finding any old RP. Reach out to characters and roleplayers of similar tastes. Join discords, linkshells, and free companies to make your connections pool larger and have access to plots. Post a LFRP ad for your elezen and the potential criminal hooks and see if anything comes forth from that. It's not too hard at all if you look and ask around o/

^ It is. I visited Mateus on an alt recently and it had a familiar buzz of activity like Balmung does. I'd make an alt on Mateus during non-peak hours instead of transferring if I were you, since we have no idea when Balmung is going to open again and you might regret losing that character slot. Either way, my friends have fun over on Mateus and have no trouble finding RP, so go for it!

Omega is technically meant to be the EU RP server but honestly, I've not heard much activity from it in a long while. As an EU roleplayer myself, I would recommend staying on Balmung for now and make an alt on the other servers to find out whether it's worth transferring off Balmung (since... once you do, you're very likely unable to get back on for a LONG while due to them closing transfers and character creation.) I have a feeling that the RP community is going to be a lot quieter on the likes of Omega and other EU servers and more difficult to get into/find, and if RP is your main goal, it can be quite disheartening. Balmung may be NA and yes, sometimes scheduling can be hard, but I found it worth staying just for the sheer amount of RP here. I literally only play to roleplay and I've never thought to leave Balmung. Just my two cents!

Organised by those lizards at the Game of Dawn Thrones Xaela Discord, you are invited to an archery tournament to determine the best sharpshooter in all of the Azim Steppe!

You're literally on the RPC forums right now, which has resources in the main navigation menu to find free companies and linkshells. The FFXIV tumblr community also thrives if that's your cup of tea, and there's plenty of discords to find and co-ordinate RP. Being reluctant to find RP because it might be a bit too 'fluffy' for your liking is shooting yourself in the foot before you've even started. You're barely skimming the surface of what Balmung has to offer. Look, browse, and join things on a whim. Try things out until you find something that clicks. There is plenty of RP to be had if you go forward and just... use your eyes. I can link resources at a later time when I'm not on mobile.

A gathering of Xaela - family and friends are invited to Reunion to celebrate the arrival of the Lunar New Year. Many festivities are planned, with plenty of drinks, dancing & a Buuz Eating Competition - the winner will receive a character portrait from Hixxi! Notes: Reunion welcomes ALL tribes and non-Xaela.

What is Tsagaan Sar? One of the most important holidays for Mongolia, Tsagaan Sar is a holiday that celebrates the end of winter and serves to welcome a flourishing new year. It is the Year of the Dog this year. It is actually celebrated on the 16th February, but we’ll be hosting on the 24th for organizational reasons. Families gather to renew and solidify ties, particularly between young and old, and to repay debts and resolve disagreements. People dress in traditional clothes, tell stories that transmit traditional knowledge, consume traditional dishes, play games, and practice customs that reinforce Mongolian identity, solidarity, and continuity. We wanted to bring this tradition to the world of Xaela, bringing together tribes from all over the Azim Steppe to put aside grievances and celebrate peace whilst welcoming the New Lunar Year. What will the event feature? First and foremost, it will mainly act as a celebratory gathering where Xaela and non-Xaela who wish to come to Reunion to mingle and wish each other a Happy New Year. We expect people to dress up in their best formal/tribal attire, and there will be plenty of food and drink to keep everyone happy. Plenty of opportunities to meet new people and meet up with acquaintances, a guaranteed good time! It’s a common tradition to eat a LOT of Buuz dumplings at Tsagaan Sar, so we will be hosting a Buuz Eating Competition some point during the event! Participate to fill your belly and potentially win a portrait from Hixxi at hixxiart.tumblr.com, examples of her work here and here! Any things we should know before coming along? Xaela and non-Xaela alike are welcome! If your character can visit the Azim Steppes, they are most certainly welcome to come along and celebrate with us. Please dress somewhat formally. If you are a Xaela, we encourage you to go wild with your fabulous tribal flair! No hostility or fighting between tribes will be tolerated, as per rules of Reunion. The event will be hosted by Ajir Qalli and his friends within Reunion and is not tied particularly to any tribe. Just bringing family and friends together in a peaceful setting!

Just confirming that Order of Ouroboros is no more.
