...and if so, how do you weave them into your role-play?

Graeham recently acquired a pet after stumbling across a stray gaelikitten within the Sea of Clouds. He'd caught sight of the larger, more feral flying bundles of fur and whilst fascinated by them he quickly ran away when they tried to scratch and bite him to death. He couldn't bring himself to raise his sword against them.

During his comical retreat he heard a gaelikitten cry from within some bushes and after nursing the injured creature back to health it seemed eager to follow him. Since then he's smuggled it back to his residence within The Goblet and I portray the gaelikitten - Lydia - as being very mischievous but surprisingly tame.

So far it's made for a few fun situations!

It's a difficult thing to do with Vira, since she usually sees pets as emergency food sources.

Her chocobo, Tebasaki, was named such because she intends to eat him if she ever is starving. Virara bears him no ill will; it's simply how she thinks. However, he is a surly animal and seems to actively dislike her. He doesn't always come when she whistles, and goes where he wants to. It is likely he is actually one of those strong Ishgardian flying chocobos, sold to her by mistake. Virara herself is ignorant of this, and has no idea his constant biting and attempting to throw her off means she isn't liked, and that he is improperly trained by his former handlers. Luckily, she is thick skinned in more than a figurative sense.

Virara sometimes collects large insects and hides them in small containers, but it might be inaccurate to consider these pets. This is a pastime that developed from observing people betting on insect-fighting matches, or "beetle sumo." I will probably use the Chigoe Larva pet to represent these bugs if she ever takes them with her.

Val still has a pet cactuar that Verad gave to him. He's sad that it doesn't move.

Aaron · **08-02-2015, 08:54 PM**

^ LMAO

Aaron has a wolf pup. When he's out the pup stays with his sister and every now and then I'll bring the pup put for solo rp IN public.

Kiur · **08-02-2015, 08:55 PM**

Kiur generally collects stuffed animals and various plushes. She tends to have a squeaky toy beneath her helmet (When she wears one).

Not quite the same thing as pets but she certainly treats them like such. Names and all.

Shoshopu · **08-02-2015, 09:00 PM**

Do mounts count as pets? Shoshopu's got an adamantoise that's big enough to ride. It's from her family's "herd" but right now it's staying with her free company in its chocobo stables. It's not that much taller than one and they have about the same diet...

She also has a flowering mandragora that she accidentally planted and grew, but it usually just stays in her room. Being a planty thing it's a fairly low maintenance pet. She doesn't often bring it into public because she wouldn't want it to cause a scene... being a mandragora and all.

Aysun · **08-02-2015, 09:07 PM**

A bluebird. A friend knew how squee I was at getting one OOCly (I have birds IRL Big Grin

), and thus threw it into my RP by staging a scene. Now said bluebird "Kus" lives in Aysun's satchel and generally just follows her around at a distance--when she's not hiding in the satchel!

Gegenji · **08-03-2015, 08:13 AM**

Chachan definitely does - even if I haven't done much with them RP-wise as of late (I have prans to, though!). I say "them" because there's one, relatively well-known one and a couple others that he's gotten via RP.

The first one is, obviously, Gran the Baby Behemoth - who has been Chachan's partner in crime for a while now. Picked up back when Chachan was still living in Ul'dah from a merchant that just wanted the nuisance gone, the too-big-for-his-britches porker is probably the most recognizable of Chachan's little crew. Chachan is heading out on a little adventure soon, and the little guy is definitely coming with - so he should be seeing some more action soon. Even without that, though, taking the baby behemoth out for walks has been the impetus for several RP run-ins.

However, there are two others - first is Icarus the Eggplant Knight, whom Chachan got as a prize for winning in a hide-and-seek style game held during the Coral Winter Games. I don't really do much with him, and my headcanon is that he's basically serving as a security guard for the FC's gardens - keeping away moles and nutkin and anything else that would harm his kindred vegetables. As such, I really don't use him unless I want a humorous backdrop on the Still Shore's lawn while RPing.

The other is Cake the Fat Kitten, who was given to Chachan by Kage before he went North. At the time, a close friend was not doing well and almost entirely bedridden - so Chachan left the kitten to keep her company. Once she improved, the kitten was basically left to be doted on and (over)fed by the Medical Staff. As such, even though Chachan did remember to go back and reclaim her, I think the damage is already done and she'll waddle her way back to the Medical Ward more often than not for more free snacks and scritchies.

Neither Gogon nor Judge have pets, though I kinda want a Gestahl for Gogon. Too bad they're Fat Cat 2.0 and ungodly expensive. Sad

Roen · **08-03-2015, 09:55 AM**

Roen too has a fat kitten, sent to her as a gift by Kage.

She is allergic to cats, sneezing or sniffling whenever they are nearby, but she did not have the heart to give the kitten away. But she also has not given it a name and she leaves it in the care of the innkeeper at the Forgotten Knight most of the time since she is currently on patrol duty in Coerthas.

But whenever she does return to Ishgard and her lodging at the inn, the kitten greets her with purrs and nudging of her hand and Roen does not turn it away. It is likely one of few things she allows herself to return any kind of affection lately considering her glum disposition.

Qhora Bajihri · **08-03-2015, 05:17 PM**

Qhora has a Dodo, but she's dropped it off at a farm for safekeeping, because she doesn't trust herself to take care of it.

Eddard · **08-04-2015, 12:47 AM**

Eddard doesn't have any though I feel it'd be fun if he had some cute little thing follow him around for a time. He'd get to act all gruffy and pretend it wasn't the damned cutest thing he'd ever seen as it playfully prodded his leg in an attempt to get his attention. It probably wouldn't be permanent though it'd be enjoyable.

Jerciex · **08-04-2015, 12:55 AM**

Noope!
Â Jerciex has lived in barracks almost his whole life, sharing room with other Serpents.
Now he has own room in Free Company but company's secretary is strict when it comes to pets and Jerciex thinks he doesn't need pet. Beasts and wildlife should be there where they belong-> in nature

Asmodean · **08-04-2015, 06:46 AM**

Asmodean has a pair of pets but he views them more as his only family left. First is Valdar, the former coeurl kitten when Asmo was young now a full adult. He could use her as a mount but seeing as he avoids every riding anything he doesn't.

His newest family is a baby Unicolt, whom he joking calls Halone. He came across her while on patrol in the westeren highlands and she imprinted on the midlander. He has leaves her in the care of the innkeep of the Forgotten Knight, while out doing work. He found her half frozen to death, he wants to avoid any chance of that happening while she is in his care.

Blue · **08-04-2015, 07:03 AM**

I use Sleipnir to RP a dark unicorn as Jet'a's pet and mount (not as much to have a "sleipnir", but because the design of the other horses/unicorn mounts have a fucked up skeleton and no bardings / GC bardings only). It has been with him since he was introduced in the RP group and has plenty of character to have its own place in it. I suppose my RL knowledge of horses (I'm a former horse trainer) helps with that.

Corelyn · **08-04-2015, 07:52 AM**

Corelyn has a deweaponized magitek bit she calls "Bit" that acts as a sort of security device and personal assistant. While it irritates her rather frequently with its constant nagging - often at her own request to do so - she is seldom seen without it.

Dail'a loves, loves coeurls. When he was young, he wanted to breed and train them as mounts and combat pets. When he left his tribe, he abandoned that dream to become an adventurer, instead. He is afraid, due to his lifestyle, of keeping a pet, because he wouldn't handle it well if he wound up getting it hurt or killed somehow, given his lifestyle.
