Your char makes me think of someone who does the job right always but can outright surprise someone who pulls a fast one XD. Or someone makes a stray comment, you'll pull out one of your own when no one expects it lol. Ty so much for posting it here <3 I'm left with so many good choices XD, I could definitely see him as Valic's retainer, if ont like you mentioned, a second retainer maybe. I also kinda love imagining that Valic's just an innocent philosopher and has an intimidating Au Ra every so often come in the middle of RP areas. Making people go "T-That's your retainer?!?!" XD.
RP style: Any.
Race: Au Ra
Gender: Male
Interest(s): Martial Arts, Magic, Weapons
Hobby(ies): Sparring, Training, Learning beneficial skills such as healing magic, first aid, etc.Â
Profession(s): Sellsword, Adventurer
Personality: Although kind, Haz may seem outwardly harsh, as he rarely holds back from saying what's on his mind, not adverse to being sarcastic or witty when appropriate. Otherwise, can be fully capable of focusing on a singular task if need be.
Goal(s): To be able to reach the limits of his potential, be it magically and/or physically and to use his abilities to assist those who need help those who need it.

Prolly because I'm not exactly sure how time and FF14's system works fully. At least for years anyways.A for the rest, I agree entirely with your personal question answer :3. Emilia seems like she'd be fun creating a good retainer relationship while also being a fool every so often in battle(I mean this as a good thing too). Such as waiting at a boss and discussing a strategy or just talking and then suddenly she's already pulled it, making me sigh and put up with it XD(though I hpoe that wouldn't happen too often >~>;!).
RP style(s)(such as M, E, Paragraph, etc): Any is fine by me, though paragraph is what I most often work with.
Race: Elezen Wildwood
Gender: Female
Interest(s): Music and its magic properties, mages in general.
Hobby(ies): Making music, mining, fishing, gold smithing, treasure hunting, and dabbles in white magic/ conjury.
Profession(s): Bard, miner, goldsmith, fishing on the side.
Personality:Â Â Emilia can be stubborn as a rock, but is generally friendly and very open to anyone she meets. Her temper and lack of table manners leave something to be desired, but she has a quick wit and won't hesitate to snap back at anyone who makes a cross comment. She can be lazy in a sense, though if she is neglecting a duty, more often than not you can find her treasure hunting. Her stubborn nature is mostly just in battle, though. (As in telling her not to hit the thing, she gonna hit it)
Goal(s): Never really planned anything for herself, the closest thing she has to a goal is making her friends smile.
Background/Story:Â Emilia was born in the year 1558 in around Gridania, the North Shroud. She joined the Archery guild around year 3, and basically trained her life away. She went under the radar near year 5 to train as a Bard and returned home in late year 6, early year 7. Even though the Calamity is 7 years past, she harbors a fear of loud noises to this day, ie: Thunderstorms, canon blasts, etc. Even Machinist gunshots can spook her if caught off guard.
Personal question:Â "Helping people is what I do best. In being a retainer, I can fulfill that need to aid someone and still have the opportunities to explore the world for new inspiration." Â As far as relationship goes, I am open to any type, be it romantic or platonic, friend or rival. It's fun to let the characters loose and see how they develop on their own without tugging the reigns too much, at least that's how I feel about it.
Shaftronics has given me thoughts to considering taking on 2 retainers depending on what ends up happening. It solely depends on being fair so everyone gets to enjoy RP and there ends up not being any particular problems about it schedule-wise as well as leaving someone feeling left out. So that will be under consideration too <3. Till then, I'll give this a few more days to think on it and make my decision when I resub.
I'd also like to reiterate to anyone else DO NOT GET DISCOURAGED TO APPLY. Just because there are a few entries doesn't disqualify you if you're interested! Besides, I'm sure there's more people than myself looking for a retainer for long term, that's what I hear anyways.
