Kailia

K'hai looked between the two healers, "So, am I healed enough to at least go see the elders?" He was not looking forward to meeting them, given the events that happened in Ul'dah. But he would at least tell them all he knew, if they were in a mood to hear him.

K'hai looked to the stranger, "Get to where I was? Friend, I once had muscles the size of one of them Highlander Hyurs. I used to wrestle sandworms to the ground for fun and the hunt." He looked up at the tent roof, "But that war with the Garleans five years ago.. left me with aether sickness which kept me in a deep sleep until recently. When I awoke, I had to make my body relearn how to walk and do even the most basic things." He looked back to Xha'li, "And even on my trip here, I trained, but my body still is no where near where it was. I have a now exiled child, K'ailia, to thank for removing the last of the Aether Sickness from me."

K'hai laid his head back, "Then do what you need to. But make it quick."

K'hai simply shrugged, "I am tia, all I can do is suggest. But you should still prepare to move. If I know K'yohko, he is meeting with the elders now and official word will come... and hopefully he comes gets his arm looked at."

K'hai winced as he felt the needle pierce his skin, "An Amalj'aa Battledrake..." He studied K'tahjha closely for a few moments, ignoring the sewing, "The Amalj'aa will be coming. We've dispatched their scouting party. More will be coming. We will need every available hand that can use a weapon at the ready." His face got serious then, "You look to be of an age close to partaking in your trials. This is important, so you must do as I say. The Amalj'aa will be coming as I said. This means the camp will have to be moved. Your aunt is in good hands here. You should go to the lead huntress and volunteer yourself for work. Do whatever task they require." He looked to K'zhumi, "And assuming your work on me is near completion, I will help you pack your things."

K'hai chuckled, "I am a tough tia. Once, I could of competed to be a nuhn if I so chose. I can handle a little needle." He then looked around trying to find his sister, and soon found her with K'tahjha, "You must be the new girl I heard about."

K'hai's eyes opened, blurry, but then things began fading into focus. He looked about, saw K'zhumi, and the stranger. "So... am I still intact or did you have to remove a piece of me?" he asked with a sense of humour in his voice and a stupid grin towards K'zhumi.

qYBu4dpZJBo My thoughts: -Ramuh fight looks intense! That should be a blast to experience! -Personal rooms definitely look pretty large! I am really looking forward to my own living space! -Oh god the chocobo raising! I know what I am gonna be doing! I will be training my chocobo buddy quite a bit! -Sultana crying... Rauban get hurt? Her tears were heartbreaking Overall, loved this preview!

Me personally, I go by the main story quest AND the real world time. So to me, when the game launched it was 1577, but in january it became 1578

K'hai looked up at K'zhumi, "I may of lost blood, but that drake paid the price.", then gave a stupid looking grin. He then chanced a glance to his side and saw K'luha. So she had made it home now. He wondered if she was angry at him for leaving them. It couldn't be helped. He knew the laws. He then looked over at the outsider. Keeper of the Moon judging by the eyes. He'd experienced magic healing on himself. He was not afraid. Then he remembered Yohko, and looked to K'zhumi, "You look tired. I'm... not the only injured. K'yohko has wounds of his own..." before he fell asleep once more.

When it comes to character background, I use 3 links: D&D Dice Roller The dice roller is for these 2 links, which I tend to mix to really work out a character's details: Background Generator 1 Background Generator 2 Then using the timeline of this game, I figure we are in the year after the start of ARR which coincides with the story, making the year 1578. The Calamity happened in the year 1572. I then take the backgrounds generated, and try to work them into the timeline. From childhood, on up.

Dual Shockers has released their run down of today's live letter: http://www.dualshockers.com/2014/06/12/final-fantasy-xiv-letter-from-the-producer-live-xv-recap-free-weekend-coming-and-more/

Actually it kinda is. Yoshi gave some lore background on the rogue. Supposedly they used to be thieves, but they've since changed their ways. And when he thought of thieves he thought of people stealing and burgling, and that sort of stuff. So they opted for a more neutral name. Oh I forgot to mention, the ninja will also be a stealther too. Dual Shockers did their own review, and include the video of the rogue and ninja in action: http://www.dualshockers.com/2014/06/10/292393/

So I watched the live letter. Got some nice screenies. Now I can share what we learned with you all! First question asked is if they'd ever add a hug emote. Yoshi pretty much said they want a hug and slap emote, they aren't going to worry about the size of the target, only the animations, and they are guaranteed to come in at some point. Mentioned that 2.3 will bring in a desythesis system for crafters and gatherers, not much about it. We will eventually be able to visit carteneau as a pvp area apparently Brutal Mode coil of bahamut. They are bringing in bosses with stats that were nerfed down because they were too hard, and in fact, they aren't even sure they could beat these bosses. But if players do beat them, they get a spiffy new title, no word on what the title is. Now here's the part you all will love, and these images will do the explaining: Rogue Class in 2.4. It's job will be the Ninja! Details about these classes: The rogue will have a variety of poisons that produce different effects. Rogue and ninja's also move by default, faster than all the other classes across the land, and take less falling damage. The Ninja will incorporate the skills of the rogue, and add in ninjutsu. How this works is, you have to do certain moves in certain orders to light up a ninjutsu from the combo. Depending on what skills you use, you will get to use a completely different ninjutsu. This makes the job sound a lot like the warden class from lord of the rings online, where you use certain skills in certain order, and you get a combo finisher that either healed, caused threat, or did massive damage, or put a dot/debuff onto an enemy target. However Ninja's and Rogues will be DPS only. New tanks and healers will come in the expansion later down the road. Private rooms are coming in 2.3. Personal housing some time between 2.38 and 2.4. They made the 2.3 poster with shiva, because Ramuh wasn't sexy enough lol. But in seriousness, yoshi added that we will get hints of her in 2.3, and as the story progresses, we will get to face her later down the road. Solo dungeons will be coming soon! No word when. Airship labs still planned, in fact yoshi showed off a concept art of it! There was mention of activities/quests FC's can do, that will be good for both small and large FC's. Marriage system coming in 2.4, couple get special mounts each. That was about it.

K'hai looked to the girl, "Stay close to me. I will be heading straight for the shaman's tent", and with that, kicked the chocobo into gear. It of course felt like it was going to bolt, but a yank on the reigns kept it under control. As they neared the camp, the huntresses were already given the surprise of K'yohko's passing by them, and now, they stood dumbfounded as K'hai, a tia that had been missing for some five years now, was riding into camp, wounded with a young girl at his side. He headed straight to the shamans tent, and outside, he pulled the chocobo to a halt, climbed down gripping his chest and stumbled his way towards the tent when he finally collapsed into the tents fold.

The lower half of the outfit is the spring skirt. However, the tops are not obtainable yet. You can see the same tops in limsa lominsa at the bismarch for males and females. They ever release those tops, I will totally get one for myself

no problem K'nahli

last night, my FC had an RP night where our chars sat down and played an Eorzean version of D&D. My character decided to cosplay her race http://i.imgur.com/YuRawiH.png[/img]

I think it just doesn't need to be emphasized. Because some names sound better with the koo sound, while others don't. So like in the case of O'raha being O-Ra-Ha, the letter flows into the name. So in my own conclusion and interpretation of the lore, the tribe letter doesn't need to be emphasized. Take away the K in K'ailia's name, and you got a name that is completely different, and really doesn't fit her. That's why OOCly, I cringed when people called her ailia.

About pronunciations, I *think* K'ailia's name shouldn't actually be "Kay-lee-ah". Unless I'm mistaken and understood it completely wrong (which could be the case), the lore stated that the initial K is read as ku/coo, followed by any name. The sound of the initial letter is not mixed with the following name; it has its own sound, unrelated to what follows it. Oh yes I am aware of the K's sound. But at the same time, there's names like K'ile, which according to K'nahli's post, is pronounced possibly like: K'ile (Keel // Kee - L[e]) Which makes the K part of the name. Which is the approach I took with K'ailia, especially after her exile. I've no way to physically change her name, so she merely changed the pronunciation which sounds a lot better than: Kuu-ay-lee-ah Which is not the name I was really all that comfortable with. It sounds a lot better as: Kay-lee-ah But the best way to understand the sound though would be to hit the sound button on either the spanish or french part of this translation link: https://translate.google.com/#es/fr/K’ailia You can pretty much put any tribe members names in there to see how they sound, which is interesting

For my character, her name is K'ailia, which she pronounces as Kay-lee-ah. So when you drop the K, it has an entirely different sound, and to me, that's not her name. So to me, the tribe letter became part of my characters name which is based off of other games incarnation of this character which were named Kailia.

Right now, I am a pretty big fan of the miqo'te female standing posture in the second screen. Very girly, and I can see K'ailia standing like that. The sitting in the chair one, yeah that one looks great for K'ailia as well. Overall, I love these animations

K'hai grew frustrated with the bird, the girl obviously had no control over it. Finally he grabbed the reigns and looked to the girl, "You have much to learn about these birds. I will guide it to follow my brothers coeurl, or it will wish it followed directions." Expertly he pulled the reigns as any of their tribe would when training the chocobos, making sure the bird knew who was in charge and directed it to follow the coeurl. He could tell the bird wanted to protest, but a few expert jolts from him with the reigns, the bird seemed to figure this out. "If you even think of trying to bolt out of control, think twice. Because I will not allow you to take me from my brother, or endanger my life." he commanded to the bird. He suspected he was the first true professional to ride this chocobo in some time. He ignored the pain from his chest and focused on keeping the chocobo in line as they moved out with the kills.

That would be awesome

There's still been no responses to this ad. I'd love to get this RP going right away if there's any interest at all.
