War Siren's are fun.

-Sarcasm is her primary language when she does speak. She's older (38) and has been through a lot of the worlds major events the past 20 years. So she's a bit cynical and sharp with the tongue, makes her seem a bit unapproachable at times especially to the thin skinned.

-Nicknames, are you an Acquaintance, Friend, Enemy etc?.. Guess what like it or not you're getting a nickname. It's how she remembers people. A lot of people don't like having Nicknames.

-Bullheaded when she set's her sights on a path it takes a lot to sway her off it.

Playing some character, maybe on Balmung, maybe not.

Jet'a's:
- Xenophobic, involving all its variations (racism, omophobia, distaste for inter-racial/inter-clan relationships, etc.).
- Highly judgemental.
- Introvert.
- Asocial.
- No sense of humor.

Blue's:
- Overly naive.
- Incapable of reading expressions.
- Scarce understanding of social conventions.
- Has no filters whatsoever.
- Physically weak on all fronts. Ask her to lift a crate and it'll be like she caressed it.

To be an interesting, intriguing, well-written character, there needs to be something to allow the audience to relate to them. That is what the problem is with who wants their character to be "perfect". Perfect characters will never be strong, and strong characters will never be perfect, because WE (those who read, who watch, who RP) are not perfect.

"What makes a strong character is how they deal with their flaws, their fears, their turmoils, their troubles that get in the way. That's what makes them relatable." -- N.C.

Corelyn is paranoid, to an extent. She hides the fact that she's a pure-blooded Garlean in any way possible, because she's deathly afraid of being found out. While she means no harm to - in fact, she wants nothing more than to help - Eorzea and its people, she fears that being found out - especially about certain aspects of her past (she was "forced", more or less, into the VIIth Legion and fought at Carteneau), would get her outright reviled or attacked.

She's immensely afraid of undead. She's prone to either fits of catatonia or murderous sprees of "make everything stop moving" if anything undead or resembling one gets too close or touches her.

Being Garlean, she's entirely unable to manipulate aether in any form. While she appears to have an ability to teleport through aetherites, it's actually a one-way return to her workshop in La Noscea through magitek. She has attempted arcanima severalk times with the use of a ceruleum-based ink, but not only is it far too expensive to be useful, it's very volatile. She's blown things up by accident with it before in her 'experiments."

She's a little too bold sometimes in the search for knowledge. This has gotten her in trouble before, and hired help/bodyguards hurt or even outright killed in some cases. This is partially due to her attempts at playing off the "helpless researcher" front to avoid using her firearms or gunblade, due to aforementioned paranoia.

Corelyn has trouble understanding a good deal of Eorzean customs, being born and raised in Garlemald. While she detests the Empire and its search of conquest, she is still proud of her home for what they have accomplished without the need of magic or aether-based abilities. She also catches herself seeing people as "brutes" or "savages" a bit too often and has to mentally correct herself.

It's very difficult for her to "dumb things down" for people when explaining how things work. If not just for having been irritated that she must explain to someone, it will be because she simply hates to think of anything on such a broad scale so as to leave out details she views as important.

Let's see: Makoto is very quiet and suffers social anxiety. As a result she prefers to be alone with her studies.  While she puts on polite a demeanor and generally tries to adhere to socially acceptable behavior, her true self is short-tempered, impatient, foul-mouthed, selfish, and cynical. She's careful to never let others see this side of her, though.

Seldi's flaws?

- Because of her isolated upbringing, she has poor social skills and an almost non-existent awareness of cultural norms. She means well, but trying to get that across is difficult, and she'll find herself apologizing a lot around sensitive souls.

- She's deaf in her right ear. She was born this way, preventing healing magic from restoring her hearing.

- She has good night vision, like most Keepers, but take away something to shield her eyes (Like her hat), and she's practically blind in direct sunlight.

- Mad Sigil of the Holy Grill

These flaws are great! Love reading through them.

Jancis:
  • Honest: It's a difficult role to play, but Jancis is honest to a fault. She will not lie or tell a half-truth. The best she can do is not bring up a topic unless asked. She also complains and isn't cooperative if someone wants her to lie or is lying, calling them out and then correcting their words.
  • Trusting: While someone have to give trust to earn trust, it makes her a pushover when given to the wrong people. Unless it's overly clear she thinks the best of everyone and their intentions, believing them to be the victims of misfortune or simply their good attempts failed. In very few cases has she deemed someone beyond mortal abilities to save from corruption.
  • Money: Not growing up with gil, and seeing it as the useless material it is made out of doesn't really give it any value beyond what people tell her. She can't haggle and always overpays.
  • Fearless: Another hard thing to role play for me, this conjurer will come forward to defend someone, run up to help someone, reach out and touch things that could be dangerous. It's without a second thought.
  • Healer/Un-hardened: Being sensitive to others have made her overly-sensitive. Her hands are kept soft and able to feel problems, but that also leaves them prone to wounds and blisters that are not allowed to callus over so it happens over and over. Hot food is hot. Bitter things are bitter. Spicy foods are spicy! She will cry out when wounded and the only hardened part of her is her mind which endures it.
