Greetings everyone!
Hylda Brood, fighter-witch of Gaza, is a priestess of Rhalgr native to the Peaks. This thirty-something Highlander evacuated the Peaks shortly after Garlean takeover with her father, to the Shroud and later to Thanalan after being denied entry to the wood. For twenty years, she would travel Eorzea as a mercenary, sail abroad with privateers and pirates alike as a mender-on-sea and bestow knowledge of her seer-like magics involving soil and earth to those who desired. As someone without self-imposed rules or moral codes, she has (and still does) participate in groups both upstanding and dastardly.Â
She is a light-hearted soul upon first impression, finding herself more comfortable when she can make others laugh. Hylda picks and chooses her moments of serious tones and imposing of clarity, much preferring to be an ease of the mind and heart. However, she is aggressive when threatened and boisterous and loud in combat and argument alike. This, paired with her inability to maintain sides in moral conflicts and unwant of staying in one place for too long often cost her admirers and companions. She is wild and free in both body and mind; not afraid to be open and honest with others about any subject and mostly unwilling to accept rules placed upon her. To limit her freedom is considered a great offense, and she will go great lengths to prove as much, as well as assist others finding themselves under such positions.
More of Hylda can be found here, which is constantly updating.
What Hylda is looking for:
- Friends/Business partners/Relationships - Hylda finds herself most comfortable around shady individuals; pirates, rogues, bandits and the like. This is mostly due to the fact they are more accepting of her ways than the upper echelon. This is not to cast aside more morally stout characters, of course! Hylda is fairly easy to get along with on even a most simple level, nonjudging as she is. I'm also open for such friendships blossoming into more mutual relationships. Hylda could also do good with some business partners. Being a priestess witch doesn't exactly pay well. Simple mercenary work, minor mending and medicine, gathering, trinketcrafting and woodcarving are all things she is capable of.Â
- Enemies/Rivals - Whether it be her lifestyle, her practice of magic, or the people she associates with, Hylda is certainly in a position to gain some ire. Just as well, the boisterous Highlander enjoys a good challenge of mind and brawn both. She would happily be open to meeting and entertaining those who would challenge her.Â
- Students - Anyone who wishes to learn and entertain her lifestyle, a wandering into the soil and its purpose in all things, magics bordering on conjury, combined with sword and fist combat, are welcome to seek her out! She would deny none who wish to learn more.
