RE: You might know me from... - Sienna - 07-24-2013

Pre-1568 - The kid of Arlon Skye, one of the more trustworthy and reliable merchants of the Ruby Road exchange. Often seen playing with the Rental Chocobo in Ul'Dah.

1568-1572 - Now a merchant herself, taking over for her dad's stall. Seller of jewellery and ornate weapons (Decorative pieces) that she makes herself. Also known to frequent the Mineral Concern from 1570 onwards. 

----

1572 onwards (for those with Calamnesia) - Who?
1572 onwards (for those who timeskipped) - Same as 1572 and earlier
1572 onwards (for those who didn't timeskip but have the Echo) - The girl who had a merchant stall but up and vanished for five years after the Battle of Carteneau.

You may know or have seen Andre Winter...

Pre-Calamity:
No real notable existence other than being a citizen of Ul'dah and a young knight-in-training.

Post-Calamity:
Stepping in as a part-time bard in local pubs and restaurants in Ul'dah. It would have been noticed that he is easy-going, friendly and social. He has not been seen around the city for a number of months.

A lesser known fact is that he served as a city guard before his disappearance.

I'd encourage people to also post pictures of their characters once and if they get the chance assuming people should recognise your physical appearance. After all, if someone has earned any form of recognition in any area then locals of the area may be more familiar with one's appearance before their name.


RE: You might know me from... - Nako-Chan - 07-24-2013

You might know N'akocha Teh from...
  • Gridania, The Conjurer's Guild - N'akocha could be spotted around the Conjurer's guild, often eager to do E-Sumi-Yan's bidding be the task grand or menial.
  • Limsa Lominsa, Arcanist's Guild - Professor, Part-Time Teacher of new Scholars... or just browsing books. Her alias of "Mnemonic" and "Mist" might also be known here.
  • Ul'Dah - On the rare occasion in Ul'Dah's streets, fulfilling her dream of being a Dancer/Songstress.

Dietrych Brownlowe

Pre-Cataclysm: For those passing through the farming village of Brownlowe, he was probably just a face in the crowd, slightly cleaner and slightly better dressed than the farmers one might have passed.

Post-Cataclysm: In the recent aftermath of the Cataclysm, anyone who survived it may have encountered him as he wandered about, helping those who needed it and pointing the way to safety, but never speaking.

If not, you may have heard a dozen or so separate accounts of his actions from the survivors, that he simply rescued them from whatever harm had befallen them and pointed them toward safety, sometimes even sharing what food and water he had with him to help them on their way, but nothing more than that.

You may also have heard further counts of heroic actions in the wilder parts of the continent, with no accounts being anywhere near what could amount to civilization, in the five years since the cataclysm. You may even have heard of his moniker as the "silent knight".

Zirnansa Swarzoeng

Pre-Cataclysm:
  • If you were around between 20-30 years ago, anyone passing through a Sea Wolf fishing village may have heard of a child with that first name, likely with some mention of him being worthless and always gone when there was work to be done.
  • If you were around 20 years ago, you may have heard that Captain Swarzoeng of the Blacktongue Pirates had taken in a ten year old Roegadyn child.
  • By approximately 5 years later, he had already gotten his name on a wanted poster.

Cataclysm/Post-Cataclysm:
  • The Blacktongues managed to ride out the worst of the Cataclysm by being out at sea. This put them in a prime position to resume raiding against a people that had practically no means to defend themselves. This naturally made them evil in the eyes of just about everyone and prime targets. Though they were eventually either killed outright or captured and hanged, he will have managed to survive. But by keeping his chosen surname, anyone who has ever been harmed by the Blacktongues, or perhaps anyone who hates pirates in general, will undoubtedly spot the connection.
  • He has since taken up residence in Limsa Lominsa, believing himself to be under the radar in respect to the Admiral and her Knights. They are merely waiting to see if he falls back on old habits, possibly hoping to snare him along with a new band of pirates. Anyone with a residence down by the water, or near the shipbuilding guild, will likely have encountered him.
  • You are likely to spot him in taverns, often late in the day, lamenting over trying his best but failing. He also frequents the city's brothels, though if you know him from there, well... he won't judge, at least.



RE: You might know me from... - Nimarhie - 07-25-2013

Nimarhie Stardancer Pre-Calamity:
...might have been seen all over the place fishing wherever she could...
...getting lost in the Shroud, even though that's where she grew up...
...claiming that she wasn't really lost, but was actually exploring...

Nimarhie Stardancer Post-Calamity:
...changed her name to Eshura Majhii because she wanted to hide who she was...
...still "exploring" and fishing...

Taijha Rosewood Pre-Calamity:
... a simple goldsmith and jeweler in Ul'dah...

Taijha Rosewood Post-Calamity:
... a simple goldsmith and jeweler in Ul'dah...
...didn't experience the time-skip even though she's from 1.0...


RE: You might know me from... - Caysen - 07-25-2013

You may recognize Caysen from...

Past:
  • The Fisher's Guild. His father is a fisherman, so he spent a lot of time there since childhood.
  • His grandfather's clock shop* in Limsa. He worked there as an apprentice for many years, pre-Calamity.
  • Sitting at the harbor watching ships come and go.
  • Exploring around La Noscea.

Recent:
  • Archer's, Musketeer's and Arcanist's guilds, where he practices.
  • Any given Adventurer's guild.
  • Any place with particularly nice scenery, often sketching the landscape in a journal.
  • Sleeping in trees while out traveling.

*Currently unnamed. Working on that.


RE: You might know me from... - K'nahli - 07-26-2013

You may have heard of or seen Alex Hawthorn...

Pre-Calamity:
A black-haired teenager hanging around with the wrong crowds and causing trouble within Limsa Lominsa.

Post-Calamity:
An active and infamous bounty hunter. Shows little-to-no regard for those he has captured/killed and will follow almost any bounty so long as the coin is right. Due to being a particularly skilled and fierce warrior, he demonstrates a cocky nature and very arrogant attitude in many situations. His success rate has lulled him into a sense of invulnerability.

He wears very distinguishable black armour and is considerably wealthy, allowing him to bribe his way out or into many places/situations.

RE: You might know me from... - Low-Z - 07-26-2013

You might have seen Low in or around Ul'dah starting a few months after the calamity and more recently pushing his business to Limsa Lominsa as well.

Sometimes in the shadows of back alleys or at the doorsteps of the wealthy elite. Gil is gil and Low doesn't discriminate between customers and their social status as long as they're able to compensate him for his resourcefulness and risk-taking, providing whatever substance brings an all-too-temporary end to their craving of choice.

He also frequents places that display scantily clad women like those dancers in Ul'dah or any sort of seedy bar or club type establishment like that and can sometimes be seen chatting up the girls, or possibly subtly engaging in business transactions with them.


RE: You might know me from... - LandStander - 08-04-2013

- If your character is a business owner or someone who would loan people money as Dennthota has a gambling problem and is constantly borrowing money from people. This has caused her to rack up debt in all corners of Eorzea.

- If your character was in Ul'dah 8-13 years ago and ever gambled as she ran with a street gang (would like some real connections here and not just npcs Big Grin) where she would rig games of chance and rip travelers off. 

- If your character tends to frequent bars around Thanalan you may have come across a loud mouthed rowdy Roegadyn woman and may have ever got into a little tussle with her as well.

Edit:
- Law enforcement characters might know her from her stubborn nature and refusal to bow to authority which has gotten her thrown in jail on multiple occasions. Mostly in Ul'dah but a few times in Limsa Lomsa as well.


RE: You might know me from... - Dromwald - 08-04-2013

Pre and Post calamity you might have seen Vespino Pino telling stories or reciting poetry in any number of Inns or settlements throughout Eorzia for a hat-ful of coppers or a free drink or two.

Post calamity you may have seen Vespino loitering outside the Arcanist's guild in Limsa Lominsa where he has just been admitted as a 'mature' student.


RE: You might know me from... - Obei Kinstar - 08-04-2013

You may know Obei Kinstar...

-I used to sell my potions and potables outside the Ul'dah Aetheryte.

My favorite spot! I would even work through the night.

I worked very hard at my studies to be the best Alchemist!

But chances are you won't remember me because Obei is an introvert.

RE: You might know me from... - Imsey - 08-04-2013

Zha'li's tribe is rather reclusive, so most folks probably wouldn't know him unless they're from a neighboring Keeper tribe, but...

You might know Zha'li Vael from....
  • Any of the chocobo stables in the Black Shroud, mostly lingering around the edges at night like some sort of chocobo stalker.

If you're a Keeper of the Moon...
  • You might know Zha'li as a healer from the Vael tribe, second under their Shaman but not the official apprentice.



RE: You might know me from... - Kassandra Dawn - 08-04-2013

((Awesome Idea AND totally adding this to my wiki page~ great ideas peoples!!))

You might know Kass from....

Pre-Calamity:
  • Corvus Cinis HQ in Ul'Dah where she was receptionist.
  • The Ul'Dah area in general (markets and guilds esp. the Alchemists)
  • The area around Quarrymill where she lived

Post Calamity:
  • Limsa Lominsa selling potions.
  • Ul'Dah selling potions.
  • Very rarely Gridania...the same.
  • Tavern Soliloquy, enjoying a few drinks and the company of others.
  • Various areas around La Noscea.
  • Wandering fields, deserts, etc, cultivating and collecting plant samples for her alchemy.
  • The blacksmiths guild researching cannon construction (boom)
  • Ul'Dah more frequently visiting friends.



RE: You might know me from... - Arelian - 08-04-2013

You might know Sylas from...
Pre Calamity:
-A fighter at the Bloodsands. His own fair share of victories and defeats!
-Trained at the Gladiator's Guild.

Post Calamity:
-Still fighting at the Bloodsands. Making less appearances.
-Beginning to dabble in different magics, so his face has been seen at the Ossuary a few times.
-The more scholarly sort might recognize him as a borrower of easy-to-read books in recent years. Mostly children's tales and things with pictures.
