Kailia

K'hai heard K'yohko approaching and carefully sat up and looked. He could tell by K'yohko's pacing, he wanted to get back to camp as quickly as they can. "Right, help me on that gods forsaken bird and we will head back immediately." he replied, letting K'yohko when he finally got to him, help him to his feet and back towards the chocobo to be loaded onto the back of the bird.

Finishing wrapping his arm up, he looked over the bandage on his chest. With the support of his harness, it could well hold it in place. Then he heard K'yohko mention tying him onto the coeurl as well. "If I must walk back, I will. Just get me something to use as a walking stick." he called back.

This search is still ongoing. But I will say anything you want to know about my character is on my wiki entry on this site.

K'hai was stunned to be called unca. Now that he was able to get a good look at her, she looked to be an older version of the cub K'lhyri. How did she get separated from the tribe? There was little he could do, but lay where he was, certain that any movement on his part would cause the bandage to fall off. His attention shifted with K'lhyri got up and moved to help her father. He looked over to where she had sat and spotted the bandage and picked it up. His chest was stabilized. But his arm was another matter that he himself could manage. Lifting his wounded arm, he placed one end of the bandage on it then began wrapping it. He could hear the drakes being dragged along the sand. It would not be long now before they collect him and head back to the camp.

Spoke with your FC leader earlier. Seems your FC is lacking doctors and medical folks. So I am essencially back at square one.

Oh yeah your FC house is in the same ward as my FC's house That could work!

So my main character K'ailia Yohko, is wanting to study to become a full fledged doctor. She's got magic learned, but she wants to be an all around doctor that will practice traditional medicine as well. Long story short, she needs a teacher, or even a school to attend to become a full fledged doctor of Eorzea. Feel free to message me in game, or even respond here if interested.

K'yohko's words, his tone of voice. Finally the calm, cool, rational Nuhn was back. K'hai smiled relaxing as the bandage was placed over his chest, and the sap was applied. It was rather cool to the touch, but he remained perfectly still. He lifted his good hand up to K'yohko, "Looks like I am home, and it is good to see you again brother. It must of been Azeyma's will that you and I ran into each other." He would return to camp. And he would see the elders. He was certain they would hear of where he'd been, and of the sickness that had afflicted him. But then he looked into K'yohko's eyes, "Load my weapon in too. It has seen me through much." He looked to the girl, "I don't know who you are. But when we get back to camp, it is best you keep quiet and do as K'yohko says. He is Nuhn, and you are an outsider. Do you understand?"

K'hai smiled at the girl, "This is no shirt. It is a harness." he reached up and unfastened the buckles and the harness was off. Upon her saying she isn't much of a healer, K'hai paled, "You are no healer but you would patch my wounds? I think I'd rather just be taken to the tribe shaman..." he said, a bit of nervousness in his tone. But then seeing K'yohko's behavior towards the girl, he knew he was troubled. Someone now needed to take charge of this situation. He looked to K'yohko, "Yohko. You should go get... help from the camp..." He looked to the girl, "Don't try to heal me lass... just stabilized the wound." He was unsure when he came, if he'd return to the camp. Seems Azeyma decreed he should, and thus he will.

K'hai looked at K'yohko with a smile, "Don't worry, Azeyma hasn't taken me yet..." Though he smiled, he was in quite a bit of pain. But even before the war, he never showed pain. He simply laid there for a moment, trying to adjust to the pain. He looked at the new girl, though he was too busy with his drake, he had noticed her. He also knew she was very clumsy. "If she's a healer... I hope she heals better than she controls a chocobo..." he said, giving a stupid grin. The blood from his arm and chest still tricked out. He looked back at K'yohko, "Do me a favor... collect the skull of my kill for me... I will keep it as a trophy..."

K'hai's macuahuitl found it's mark, puncturing the flame gland, but the beast reared away and swiped at him with it's massive claws, catching his shield and arm, the little wooden shield buckled and shattered as the claws dug into his arm, and a second claw came raking down his chest before resting back on the ground. But he would not be defeated here he told himself as he dropped his macuahuitl and threw the beasts claw from his wounded arm, he backed away and crouched as he circled the beast like a predator squaring off with an equally dangerous prey. With the flame gland punctured, the beast was effectively disarmed of fire. Suddenly the beast charged and he lept up, twisted in the air and came down on the beasts back. The drake began trying to shake him off as his wounded arm grabbed the bottom of its jaw, and his sword hand grabbed the snout and began to open the beasts maw. The drake continued to struggle as its mouth reached its maximum opening length, but K'hai was not stopping there as he continued the pressure. The drake let out a horrific screech as bone and tendon began tearing in it's jaw, and with a quick hard jerk, K'hai tore it open at the mouth bending the head all the way back to the back of its neck, snapping the neck in the process. The beast collapsed, and he too gasped, grabbing where the claw raked down his chest. The wound was deep, but not fatal. Of that, he was thankful of Azeyma. He rolled onto his back, off of the beast and layed there panting. The only real problem he knew he had right now, was the bleeding.

K'hai lept into the air like a missile and brought his Macuahuitl down upon head of his target as an arrow sailed past him and into one of the other Amalj'aa, followed swiftly by the second. His target collapsed, but he knew one strike was not enough and this time, brought it down onto the soft part of his target, the neck, spilling more blood all over himself. He looked up in time to see the drakes began to move. Not good. But luckily he had his own plan for one of them. He charged and lept at the drakes, landing between them, he kicked one to knock it off course and swung his Macuahuitl towards the other's flame gland.

K'hai followed silently behind K'yohko, his body tense, ready in case of ambush. When K'yohko motioned to move back he did so, and listened to the plan. "Sounds easy. Ideally, you should take our your two targets when I leap. I can bring my Macuahuitl down on my target, taking him out on one swift motion, but I would be vulnerable at that moment." he said confidently. Quietly he crept to get a look at their positions himself and spotted his target then backed back around and found the most optimal leaping spot, then nodded at Yohko that he was ready.

K'hai crouched low, "No, you are as a brother to me. If you wish to take a stand, then I shall help you. You are nuhn, if you've got a plan, I will listen and implement it to the best of my abilities." K'hai's tail began wagging with obvious aggression. The Amalj'aa would be a threat. But them battle drakes, taking one would be dangerous enough. But two... They would need a plan. One hopefully, that could take both drakes out quickly before their masters could intervene.

K'hai paused, his senses going into overdrive. He was certain even K'yohko knew what the presence of Battle Drakes meant. "This is not good. Amalj'aa battle drakes would not be this far unless there were Amalj'aa. We should turn back and warn the camp." K'hai said in a very low quiet tone. His eyes scanned around them, darting everywhere, his ears perked up listening for any ambush. Though he was contemplating even returning to camp before, he would not allow family to be attacked now by Amalj'aa. If need be, he would see to it that K'yohko could get back, even if he could not.

My main character is 17, though her culture would consider her an adult, she's still pretty naive on many things. But she's pretty strong in magic, especially when it comes to conjurer/white mage magic. Of course she's an exile now from her tribe, so she literally has no family. She lives in Mist now, with her company, and has a boyfriend. But she also pays frequent visits to limsa lominsa. But yes it is possible to RP a child. Many good tips were given in the first reply on doing so.

K'hai listened to K'yohko's recount of what had happened in the camp during the calamity and clenched his fists. He had not known how deep their betrayal of their family actually were. But now... the pieces were starting to fit together. "On my way to this camp, I encountered your wayward daughter. I heard her full recount of what had happened to create the situation. And what I've experienced and what you've just told me, I've come to only one conclusion." he said, following K'yohko. Even his nose picked up the scent of the drakes. Taking a drake down, would be dangerous for just the two of them. Not even his little wooden shield would protect him from the flames of a drake. Only swift movement. "K'ile is a sickness to the tribe. If not for him, your wayward daughter most likely would not be wayward. He'd tricked me in Ul'dah, into thinking the two exiles were still in the family. When sister told me to get him and send him back to camp to stop K'ailia from arriving, he cared nothing about it. His only concern was to steal back a wagon of food. And from his behavior after retrieving the wagon, as well as sisters own behavior, like your wayward daughter, I believe he has broken the laws of the Tia and become intimate with the both of them." he said, keeping remarkable pace with K'yohko. "And Bronze lake was unable to fully heal me. Even as I traveled here, Aetherytes were still making me sick. K'ailia's parting gift for me, was cleansing the remaining sickness from my body. She is unfortunately an exile now, so it is too late for her. But I suspect she will not be the only daughter K'ile will target. I believe he intends to challenge you. And his threat to K'ailia of forcing her to mate if he had his way, would filter to your other daughters. Should they refuse, they could find themselves in a similar situation as her." he finished. And finished in time he was, for the drakes here near. He drew his trusty Macuahuitl and shield and began to crouch low, to keep the wind from carrying his scent to their prey. They were near.

K'hai smiled, of the family he'd met, K'yohko seemed the second to still have some sense in him. "You are correct, we've not hunted together before." he replied. Perhaps his talk with K'yohko would convince him otherwise of his decision to not return. He began following K'yohko into the dunes. He could tell there was still some anger though in K'yohko. Was it perhaps the loss of K'ailia? Or something else? "Since my arrival in Ul'dah I've encountered several of our family. K'luha, K'ile, K'piru, and even her youngest daughter. Much had changed though... K'luha most of all." he said as he walked.

K'hai nodded, "I'm strong enough. But I have doubts the tribe would accept me back, given all that had transpired from Ul'dah, to here." He thought of how out of frustration and anger, he had struck his sister because of her scornful words. And then, to see their behavior with those who were exiled. But now, he too was guilty. He had willingly spoken with K'ailia. "And besides, I would only add another mouth to feed to an already starving tribe. I would not add to the tribes burdens.", K'hai responded, "But if you merely wish my help in the hunt, I will accompany you. There would be things I'd like to discuss with you regardless."

K'hai recognized the rider immediately as K'yohko Nuhn. K'hai nodded and stepped down from the dune, so that he could better see him. "Yes, I am K'hai Tia, K'luha's brother, and you are K'yohko.", he replied. K'hai sized K'yohko up, the nuhn was as proud as ever he could tell, though he himself, had lost much of his former muscle mass. "Were you sent to escort me back to the tribe camp? Or was our meeting coincidence?" he asked after a moment.

There's no need for this, No one is white knighting. Hostility doesn't breed healthy discussion. I'm actually inclined to agree. I've been keeping my tone pretty respectful. I agree with SE adding obstacles to overcome to get a rather cool reward at the end. But being called a whiteknight for it, came off as rude.

Not every game is going to do things your way or ways you like. To me, there are multiple journeys. All start like so: - Oh there's a goal I'd like to meet! - What are the requirements to get to this goal? - *begins working to meet requirements* - Yay met the requirements! Now I am halfway there! - *Gets land and house* - Awesome! Almost done! - *Decorates till satisfied* - Yay! Goal met! I am a happy camper! The journey doesn't start at decorating. The journey starts the moment you decide you want a house, and you begin the journey to achieve that goal. I think SE has done fluff content superbly. There should be no shortcuts in games. These rules aren't harsh either. Anyone can get to level 50 easily. And you can easily rank up in grand companies with some effort. And gil wise, dailies, roulette, and selling on the market board, has netted me 200k in 1 weeks time. We've got 3 months before 2.3, that's more than enough time to get up 850k or more, for a plot of land. Not to sound rude, or flamey, but every time they announce a fluff content, you always bash the way SE does it, and point to rift as your shining beacon that SE has to ripoff to satisfy you. FFXIV will never be rift. And I prefer it never to be a rift clone. XIV stands out on its own, has its own rules and feel. And if XIV is causing you so much grief, then you should ask yourself, why do you play a game you obviously hate?

That then, is where we differ on opinions. To me, games are about the journey. Set a goal, journey and work to reach the goal. World of Warcraft made one major mistake. They cut the journey out and made it so casual friendly there's 0 challenge, and now thanks to their recent decisions, people can skip from level 1 and go straight to level cap of 90, by tossing them $60. Yes, housing is a game feature. Yes it is fluff content. But if one wants to have fluff content and access features such as this, then it needs to be earned. Even games like lord of the rings online, made you work for a house. You couldn't get a house till level 15, and even then, you needed gold to even get one. Gold was, the last time I played it, pretty difficult to get. Overall, I feel SE is doing housing right. In this game, we are adventurer's and hinted from the story, we are from distant lands, complete strangers in Eorzea, even if our characters IC, are from Eorzea. So we have to earn our lands, our houses, our glamours, everything. It's all part of an adventurer's life.

No actually the housing areas do fall under Grand Company Jurisdiction. Outside the Goblet, the npc is a member of the Immortal Flames. He sends you into the housing area to meet another flame npc. The company set aside the land for adventurers, in the hopes of getting adventurers to settle down in their land and become citizens to fight for their cause. Why do you think Free Companies HAVE to be rank 6 or higher to even purchase land for their house? And personal housing, you HAVE to be a certain rank to even get a house as well. The above goblet example, echoes to the serpents and maelstrom. A level 1 is an unknown to these Grand Companies. So they aren't going to just hand out land that they control, to some unknown entity. So naturally, you need to prove yourself. So you need to be level 50. Easy to achieve. Next you have to be a certain rank in your chosen grand company. These are all perfectly reasonable requirements. And nothing is ever free in Eorzea. So if you want to buy land, better have the gil to do it with. Two of my friends have 900k saved up already. Me, I'm going to as I said, take a personal room in the FC cottage for my character. IC, she's a kid who has very little gil, so doesn't make sense for her to even have land of her own. Maybe later down the road. But even if she ICly had the gil, her story is keeping her around mist, where as, I'd prefer her to have a house in lavender beds. So since her story isn't taking her to living in the shroud, and the FC cottage is in mist, makes sense for her to stay there.

Prices seem pretty fair to me. I am guessing the price tags will be something like: 850k - Small 1.2m - Medium 2m - Large Housing shouldn't be given away, especially since there wont be any weekly upkeep costs. Your character is buying land here, and land that falls under grand company jurisdiction, so it makes sense to me, that your character has to first earn the right to own land before they can. Want free housing? Maybe your FC Leader will make you a room in the FC house. I know my own character's story isn't leading her to owning her own land right now, she's going to live in a room in the company cottage. Overall, seems reasonable to me. 2 million gil for a large house, well large are basically giant mansions, so yeah one would imagine such an owner would be a gillionair.
