Balmung and Gilgamesh got selected for the event earrings
Dat Oni replied to Titor's topic in Off-Topic Discussion
Exactly how do we acquire the earrings, though? From a vendor? -
Flat colour please! I'll pm you with the details.

THANK YOU. MY GOD. I don't know how many people have told me that I should be in the Chamber of Rule when playing Koporo. Be it good intentions or trolling, it is annoying as fuck to constantly receive pms telling me how to roleplay Sworn. And half of them come from new players. I'm not joking; a guy with a fucking "new player leaf" next to his username tried to tell me how Sultansworn are supposed to be roleplayed. I nearly fucking quit.

WE HAVE BECOME ONE!

Would you accept gil for commissions?

I honestly do not care about the continuation of the Zodiac quest. Why is that? Because Atma still has a pitiful drop rate. We complained for an entire patch that this was bullshit and they STILL haven't done anything about it. I can't even bring myself to start the questline because I honestly do not want to put months into mindless grinding. Housing is the least of Yoshi-P's issues right now. Wait until the Atma farming community gets a hold of him.

I highly recommend these macros. /macroicon Adloquium /pac Embrace /ac Adloquium /macroicon Lustrate /pac Embrace /ac Lustrate /macroicon Leeches /pac Embrace /ac Leeches If you're a mouse-over healer, replace with . Basically, by macroing embrace with these skills, you get that extra healing power without having to actually order your pet to do it. Just make sure your pet is in Obey stance.

Edgar Von Gandervalt: Edgar has a pseudo-animated doll by the name of Shan-Shan. The name was given to it by Ed himself when he first got the doll as a child; as he puts it, "I was barely forming words at the time." The doll's interior is not stuffed, but rather contains a multitude of gears, servos, and other salvaged devices cleansed of impurities and engraved with runes. Shan-Shan has a sleep mode and an awake mode, activated by a windup key, and her "brain" is actually powered by the very same Topaz and Emerald that Edgar used to summon Carbuncle before moving on to his array of Egi. Shan-Shan believes she is as alive as anyone else, exuding an intelligence that is capable of learning. When she is about to have the windup key removed, Edgar tells her it is time for bed; Shan-Shan has associated this deactivation with sleeping, and sees no disparity between it and normal states of sleep that actual living beings go through. Like a computer, she recalls information despite being turned off periodically. Secretly, Edgar is dead-set on finding a way to give her an actual soul, as without one, he says, she cannot technically be considered living. Jajara Jara, a Dunesfolk and good friend, went through the process of having Edgar adopted into her family. Edgar being only 23 while Jara is 29, she is essentially his older sister, now. Explaining this is never easy for him. Despite his name, Edgar is not Garlean, nor is he attempting to reference Garlemad. Although it is true Garlean names use Preposition, it's merely coincidental that his name has a Garlean ring to it. Edgar Von Gandervalt is also NOT Edgar's actual name. Edgar's true birth name uses naming conventions from both Seekers and Keepers, as his mother was a Keeper and his father a Seeker. It is Z'sira'a Tordone. Broken down, it means he is the first born child of Z'Tal Tia and Sira Tordone. Ed has a partly-metal lower jaw. A devastating punch from S'honji shattered it, and when healing magic could not fix it entirely, Ed used his knowledge of alchemy to synthesize a form of liquid titanium that would "set" in place when exposed to Physick. He injected this substance into 4 locations in his lower jaw. The plan worked, but it can be a bit uncomfortable at times. Koporo Aporo: Kopo has an amazing sense of balance and excellent climbing skills. When he still lived in the caravan Great Berimu, he would often climb the sides of the enormous beast that the Clan had affixed their homes to, get on its back, and balance his way onto the creature's head, where he would lay back and stare at the sky. Kopo's name, at first, appears to use Plainsfolk naming conventions. This is because Kopo found that non-Lalafells had a tough time pronouncing his full name, Koporopo Aporopo, without stammering. In an attempt to make it easier to pronounce, he removed the "po's" from the ends of his first and last name. Unsurprisingly, this solved nothing, and so Koporo simply insists that people just call him Kopo.

One day Ed's just gonna break out an acoustic guitar and start singing this, sitting on the roof of the Academy's estate. ojYK6CW8gdw Bards are free to provide accompanying vocals.

I'm not sure, but Strago was a Blue Mage, so it is likely...

Shh... lets not bring Aht Urhgan into this... >.> <.< Typical Blue Mage! Our country was laid to ruins, our people starved and oppressed, and you just don't want to talk about it! I won't bow down to your Empress! I will follow Prince Luzaf! Taste my lead, you Immortal dogs! RED THE BLOOD OF ANGRY MEN! BLACK THE DARK OF AGES PAST! *Mighty Guard* *Level 5 Death* Come at me bro. Those spells aren't even in XI! /ja "Dark Shot" Edgar /ja "Sharpshot" /ws "Slugshot" Edgar They were in V, the origin of Blue Mages in FF history! Your argument is invalid! Kneel before the most ancient of Blue Magics!

Don't let the title fool you... we're just very VERY sad about the current state of affairs in Eorzea. And also Mages. I learned long ago not to trust a dog of the Empress. Ephramad remembers!

When Kopo smacks you in the face with his shield, he does it out of love.

A kanabÅ. For those of you who do not know, the Kanabo was a giant hurt stick used in feudal era Japan by Bushido Samurai. It was used to pommel their enemies into dust or break shields and heavy armor. It's also commonly associated with Oni, who, if you know me, I cannot get enough of. They could be made of wood, but were mainly made of iron. If Samurai ever becomes a job in FFXIV, I want Kanabos to be either a mainhand or offhand weapon used for certain skills (a la shield bash).

I find myself using "anyroad" and "by the by" all the time, now.

balmung help me flesh my character out with some RP?
Dat Oni replied to SayonaraRevival's topic in Chronicled Connections
When it gets down to it, you're the one who chooses who you RP with. Not them. And as for action RP, what tends to solve that is heavy OOC communication. I find I am much more satisfied with having my character get the shit kicked out of him if we discussed it and determined stuff like "no lethal blows". Just, know this: You will never please everybody. But don't let that get you down. There are people out there itching for something new. Your roleplay could be very refreshing to them and those are the people you want to give the time of day. I wish you all the luck in your endeavors. Both of my characters are listed in my signature. Send me a friend request if you like. I can get you in touch with some really nice people. -

Fuck the police. RP a White Mage. Yeah, I said it. If you need an excuse, cite that Jobs, by definition, are old roles that are now becoming more commonplace. People want you to tie it to the lore? The "Special Snowflake" who became the first non-Padjal White Mage? Yeah, he wasn't the only one, he's just the first in line in what is a new trend. You're just part of a change in times, something that could make for a very interesting roleplay. The idea that there are now White Mages cropping up could create anything from conflict with nonbelievers to discussion about the Elementals and a new perspective on who is really worthy of the title. Your character could have to deal with people who think, even though you have that precious connection with the Succor, you're no Padjal, so you don't deserve the title. Others might be wary, because they your powers are some sort of "witchcraft" or an exception similar to the one present in the Conjurer questline and your life is slowly ticking away. The point is, it creates a lot of tense moments and brings up a lot to discuss. If you play your cards right, it could be really good. There are so many ways you could roll with this, and it is such a goddamned pity so many people are so petrified of defying the Lore that they won't take the risk. Since when has the Lore stopped us before? If anything, we've been bending the Lore to suit our wishes for a long time now. We've been respectful, sure (DRGs are a good example), but we have always defied it when the Lore says something like only one person can possibly have this class. Because that's so restrictive, and it just flies in the face of our freedom to roleplay what we want. If no one else will, I will support you. Ultimately, yes, be mindful, and have a good excuse, but be a White Mage. Break the mold. Please. -
Kopo couldn't show because he's yet to complete his trials... :<
