I hope I'm not being overly presumptuous by putting myself forward just as I'm stepping onto the server, but I saw a few hooks that really interested me. I would have replied sooner, but I wanted to wait until I got my wiki page into at least serviceable shape.
I think Kazukata could work with either Faye or Shadiyah. Kazukata's an adventurer-for-hire with strong negative feelings about Garleans after losing two wars to them, which hits two of Faye's hooks. It's also entirely possible that he may have heard of the Harbingers of the Dawn among the many other heroic tales he's fond of, which would make him predisposed to be friendly with Faye if he ever came across her, maybe even fanboy out a little. I also see a few parallels between Kazukata and how Zularti started out, though Kazukata took a few extra decades to get there, so that could be an interesting dynamic dredging up the past. And, as a bonus, we're both operating out of Gridania, as far as I can tell? It might also be possible to use Kazukata's insistence that people do what they're naturally good at to get him to try and encourage her to be a red mage, though that one might need a little bit of acrobatics and would probably require some discussion as to how exactly we would accomplish that.
As for Shadiyah, Kazukata would probably see a lot of his recent self in her. As someone who's been through a "hates having feelings" phase of his own, he'd likely be sympathetic to her and want to help her move past it. It could also create an interesting dynamic if Kazukata was regularly talking to both Shadiyah and Faye, since it sounds like they're on poor terms. That said, I don't know much about void tainted individuals, and Google isn't helping me much, so if you're interested and have any reading materials I could go through, that would be appreciated.
On that note, I'll probably be a little slow on the lore in general. I've played a PVE character to 60 and seen the MSQ, but there are just so many details buried in all the different class storylines that I imagine my knowledge is spotty in places still. But if you're willing to be a bit patient and correct me where I slip up, I'd love to rp with you!
