Once servers are back up again I wouldn't mind being a part of this guild Eshkin D'Lore

here's a really short story response based off a short story a friend of mine wrote to wrap up an rp we had once upon a time. Epic tear jerker (his story, mine's probably subpar hahaha)

this is an adorable idea. hope to see it soar

[[tweaked and updated the first post, deleted the rp that came after and replaced it with a better pic]] I awoke to the sound of silence. Blinking the heavy sleep from my eyes and tried to turn my head and it felt more sluggish than usual. My brother was there, standing beside my bed and... adjusting my fluid intake? I had to blink a few more times to wipe the false image from my eyes before I realized it was actually a stranger tending to an over simplified IV attached to my arm. At least that's what it looked like. It was fairly primitive but there were still a few active uses of the practice. It took a moment, as I tried to open my mouth to speak and felt the muscles restrict, like pieces of stale wet bread trying to move but only sticking to one another. The motions seemed to stir my caretaker from their routine with a mild start. I suppose when you tended to a vegetable day in and out anyone would be startled when they just suddenly woke up. I didn't know at the time that I had been in a coma though, it felt like I was back home in my own bed at first before I realized the IV and took a moment to gather myself just enough to know I wasn't home. "What a miracle. Mr.John Doe, welcome back" the older man said. A Miqo'te, after I had enough sense to notice the eyes first then matching ears. I worked to lick my chapped lips before trying to ask a question again. A hoarse whisper of sound slipped out but that was about all I could manage at first. A few minutes later and my caretaker was bringing me a glass of water. While I might have been fooled into thinking I was back home waking up on any other day, once my brain really tried to start working again I didn't realize just how thirsty I felt. Not so much because of the fact I wasn't well taken care of, but you try to imagine not getting a drink after you do it your whole life. It's a feeling of relief more than anything. It wasn't ice cold, just barely room temperature, but it felt wonderful. It gave me just what I needed to clear my throat and try again. A hoarse tone, audible but still almost a whisper came out this time. It was an improvement at least. "Where am I?" I asked. "Oh, you're in old gridania" my caretaker answered. I must have drifted into thought for a few moments because I didn't realize the other was speaking again until it grew silent. "You don't have to rush things, you've been asleep for some time now. Even I wasn't here when they first brought you in" he'd admit. "How long 'has' it been?" I asked in turn, taking another careful drink as it was offered to me. I still couldn't conjure the strength to move much aside from sitting up. "Well I've been tending to you for about four months now and I was told you were brought in early last year, so give or take a month, it's been about a year and a half now" he spoke carefully as if the news would blow me away. I must have looked much worse than I actually felt. Taking a moment to drag my gaze down to look at my hands I could see why now. Even though I was kept healthy in the most basic way, there was literally no muscle to really be seen now. Form only maintained by trace amounts of fat, but my fingers looked almost like dried up talons. "You woke up before you're bath, usually you don't look as... weathered" offering some sort of comfort again as if I might actually do something had I been offended. I decided this man was amusing and decided I wouldn't mind his care in the end. Between some struggles to try and slowly work some muscle mass a little everyday, and conversation to learn what little I could about my situation in that place, I offered little about myself besides my name. Thankfully he didn't push or prod. Eventually there came a day I could stand without assistance and even lift half of my own weight. It was then I knew I should leave. Giving my thanks to the kind miqo'te for his help with a note. Words could only go so far, but I promised him I would pay his kindness forward, as was all he ever urged me to do as payment for my care.

Hey there all! First off before we get into all the fun stuff, here's some run down basic info for anyone to refer to if they ever feel the need or have interest in doing so, or a place I can refer people too in the future.. possibly

I have a tumblr and know some people that have more ff themed accounts I follow so that's one of a few things yo'd probably find in my feed lol http://theshii.tumblr.com/

I just recently resubbed my account and have succeeded in my server transfer before the downtime for maintenance. I was good friends with the lovely Lilithium back in gilgamesh but a lot has changed since I left for personal rl nonsense drama llama. Hoping I can get back into the swing of things and welcome anyone interested in just regular ooc play or the like and anyone also interested in IC interaction. I will admit that I was still learning a lot when I had to leave FF so I'm still taking chances I can to play catch up without overwhelming myself. I've come across some people and guilds that I had interest in but do want to put this out there so people see more than just the ooc side of me here haha Eshkin D'Lore The Fugitive The name is actually what I used for my castanic when I played Tera, it stuck with me so that's the long story short as to why it might seem he doesn't have a purely miqo'te esque name or Garlean name. Thankfully it's not something completely farfetched as to be an immersive issue. Eshkin is an absorbed/adopted Garlean, I'm still working the kinks out of the time in his history where the territory was taken by the Garleans and his adapting into Garlean society willingly. At the latest part in his history though, he has become a truly loyal Garlean soldier. A personal grudge held between him, an adopted Garlean and another soldier that was born Garlean turns sour and through a few well timed events during a covert mission (it sounds super spy but it's really not. Him and two others had to travel into contended territory to deliver goods safely and such), eshkin is mortally wounded after being pushed over the edge of their airship. During the time that he was wounded and had been extremely fortunate enough to be found and taken in by a strange lallafel girl (who happened across him a few hours later) Eshkin had been framed as a deserter. Since he had fallen (no pun intended) into a coma because of the trauma, a lot of time was spent bed ridden, even well after he was medically recovered. So of course there was no way for him to defend himself against accusations of his deserting. Since he was transported deeper into the 'enemy territory' as it were, the less likely it would be that anyone that had been searching for him (whether to arrest and try him or finish the job) would be far less likely to actually find him at this point, just being a tucked away john doe for over a year and a half. An unfortunate series of events just out of jealousy and petty bitterness from one person whom he had called brother. Where I plan on picking up is not long after Eshkin wakes up from this coma and has taken some time to recover some lost muscle mass due to being bed ridden for over a year. Concentrating on getting back into shape again and learning the details of his situation. Eshkin in FF14 by Shii Malus, on Flickr

I love it when I actually go to sleep when I'm suppose to...

hmmm... I honestly don't remember stuff like that. but i've always liked pressing plantlife and framing it, so I tended to hang those up

all kinds of stuff actually. I rp world of darkness stuff more than anything else haha

*makes grabby hands at ShiShi* *noms on*

i'll share some holiday spirit up in hurr. don't say I never gave ya'll nuttin...

herpin the derps? plertin the plerts?

well as noted, it is something you get out of game with real money so I don't really feel any actual interest in having it pertain to any ic play, but I honestly don't care It's just one of many deus ex's that put me to sleep. I agree that I would be far more into it personally if someone wanted to play with their changes in some alternative and far more creative means. With the amount of illusion magic and potions/tonics/foods w/e in the game, is the fantasia potions existence really necessary? It's honestly sort of repetitive. But I won't not rp with someone just because they like the idea of the fantasia potion actually existing. I unfortunately for them will probably not emphasize rp regarding it though, or will just as simply let my characters believe the potion is a myth or rumor and you just got unlucky and someone decided to play a bad trick on you lol

the hum of my computer but here's something for ya troubles http://youtu.be/BsO4Ba8NR94

sleeeeeeeeeeeep for like... three hours before I have to drive someone I don't really care for to work... then sleep some more

the fun part about that are potential bounty hunters haha who needs 'authority' pssshhh and as noted before by others, while the thought and intention of a sort of 'criminal' directory is all well and good and has amazing potential for positive rp use, it's just way too easy for someone to accidentally 'and' purposefully abuse it. I have seen things like this used really well before, but I've seen them more often abused. What I think is a better approach is having an information broker (if there isn't any character like that already) and people that are bounty hunters or even military companies or groups could find these contacts if they haven't encountered these characters before and just go through finding out that information through IC means instead of a list. would encourage players to be a lil more attentive to their rp and sweeten reaching for rp outside of usual circles.

I'm actually in the server now. I set the transfer then spent a few hours doing dinner and some laundry an stuff and when I logged on it was finished.

I am a huge fan of rob haha anyway.. I never really thought of what eshkin's voice would be... lemme think about it and do some.. 'research' I'd have to saaaaaaay... possibly Ian Somerhalder.

very much impressed and very much interested

I feel sexuality shouldn't ever really be a taboo subject. Whether it's with porn, an erp'er, or just a casual aspect like any other aspect of someone's rp. I myself don't rp sexual things often enough to even be considered by most to be into that sort of rp to begin with, and I've been told that sometimes my characters in mmo's tend to come off a bit asexual in nature haha Either way I view sex in rp like how I view everything else. Conflict, violence, death, love, rivalry.. so on. Get certain ingredients into a pot and you get a certain flavor, viola. As far as my main goes, Eshkin is an adult male and wouldn't be adverse to sexual relations, nor is he odd towards it. I've used it as a sort of bit of side spice, staying the night with a stranger (npc) for the night to pass the time, flirting with an attractive individual... so on. It's not his main aspect, nor is it a obnoxiously huge aspect of him, but it's about as prominent as rp'ing everyday things like background noise or getting involved with another character that flips the right switches. Last chance I got to rp him, he was picked up by a lallafel severely wounded out in a barren snow ridden wilderness and he was still recuperating when I had to take a long break from ff, there never really was any chance for any sort of romantic or sexual interaction with other characters lol It's just the vibe I get from him.

I need this moved to balmung directory now hahaha

ahah ya wile I was waiting for all the updates I spotted these and was like "ooh so they're finally bringing shiva in?" certainly looks that way anywho Thanks a bunch! hahah certainly seems so Which aside from doing the coils I didn't have much else to do aside from gear grind when I had to leave ff previously. Was trying to actually get the gear together in order to start forming a solid coils group too, so that never happened :c anyway, I think i'll put in for the transfer either today or tomorrow. I wanna play tonight, but I'm not sure how long the transfer would take or how they do it for 14, I vaguely recall for 11, but don't know if 14 is the same or different about world transfers.

skype name is Shii Malus, just yes.. please let me know it's FF related. I tend to ignore very random 'hi's lol
