I had him take a small pilgrimage to the Nald and Thal shrines to Thanalan. Would be fun to adventure with people and visit all the stones in Eorzea ^^.Me too! I especially love Coerthas and the Temple of the Twelve in Gridania, I might poke around there from time to time on Davian to kickstart some RP there.

He regularly finds himself in strange places with no idea how he got there, and promptly asks himself, "So what does Oschon want me to see or do here?"Sounds like a great idea to instigate some RP. I'll give it a shot myself!
This is extremely convenient for setting up random RP.

I personally enjoy playing a character with a Paladin or Priest-like archetype and I was wondering if any others are roleplaying their characters as a devout of the Twelve or in some way, spiritual in game? Is your faith stronger or weaker than other characters? Or does your character not care about the Gods or Goddesses in game?
I suppose you already know but Siobhain is extremely devout. Her faith is probably stronger than any of the other characters I've ever had, including my 'good' priests. She's constantly put off by how few others she meets who share an equivalent level of her faith, but mind, her practices are completely custom. Her belief in Azeyma is primary and she concentrates equally on inquisition and warding as her philosophies. One dictates her lifestyle and the other, her approach to combat.

Ildur, as a garlean, has no interest in the Twelve. He has gotten used to curse in their name and to pretend to call them every now and then, but doesn't think they exist. And if they do, they will be just little more than Primals with good relations with Eorzeans.
Thiereia is basically in denial. The Calamity happened and she's sure that the Twelve were too busy or weak to help. Thus, don't deserve any worship. She's very confrontational about it.
Ulanan is a 'lite' follower of Oschon. Unlike Megiddo up there, she doesn't get lost on purpose. She thinks Oschon favors the feet that have a purpose and direction, and thinks he is responsible for any fortuitous coincidences along the way. Sometimes, this includes detours, but that's only if your direction was wrong in the first place.
K'airos became devout after the Calamity as a way to cope with losing most of her family and tribe. She took the K-Tribe's religion (the only one she had contact with, really) and attached to it with superglue. The version of the ceremonies and devotion that sprung out from her might not be very accurate representation of what the tribe does, though.
I like the spread of beliefs from each of your characters. I'd personally get confused myself if I tried to RP so many different characters. XDÂ
My character, Davian Ackerman, is quite devout in following both Halone and Nophica. Halone, to be blessed in martial combat and his training and Nophica, for healing wounds and injuries. He can often be seen praying before battle, when conjuring a healing spell or when pleading to the Gods for their aid.
