Caex Vaeriar

I'm wanting to transplant the Autumn Maple Tree and Autumn Ginkgo Tree. I can only assume this requires: 1) Someone with botanical knowledge 2) Someone with Aetherical skill/knowledge (As the trees are said to be transplanted at the time their leaves turn and are then casted with a spell to keep them in that state in perpetuity.) Methods of finding this info: -> Walk up (Tell welcome) -> There would currently be a flyer in the Adventurer's guilds seeking one, along with a monetary reward for the assistance.

as an aside, for any backstory, I would -love- to do some Forum-RP as well, if there is an interest in that! Creating backstories in such a way is much more dynamic for me, even if we know our goals =D

First I will be keeping this profile updated! https://wiki.ffxiv-roleplayers.com/pages/Ripeikh%27a_Darastrix My goal is to create a character that has a strong mentor. My preference would be towards having a very Lore-abiding character, so I would like someone who is ICly capable of training the character. Ideally I would like for his early life to take him to learning in how to be a Dragoon, but I am not sure if this is workable. If there are any Ishgardians or Nobles that would take in a stray that seemed adept with a spear, I would definitely welcome creating this connection in their life. Other alternatives are serving under other people around the three major city-states. Ul'dah is least-preferred. Basically right now the character is 'Very open' towards having this backstory shaped, and if you have a need to have a slot filled by a strong Keeper/Seeker Hybrid who will stick with mostly Axes and Spears, I would love for you to leave a message here! Any questions can be done in PM!

Heyo! So! A major issue I've realised is that, while I -love love love- my character, I have a lot of weaknesses in how I wrote him. Particularly, there are a lot of things that I have to ask 'Why' about, and the fact that I am not readily prepared with an answer - means that I created a dead-end of an RP path within my own character. Thus! I was hoping to see if the kind people on the forums would be willing to Brainstorm some concepts, and help as a sort of reflecting board with me. So, the three things that I want to tackle (Not necessarily in order! Heh.) Reason for medical condition One of the biggest things with the character that I've used to balance his proficiency in CQC is the lack of Ranged attacks, compounded with the lack of extensive Aether-usage. That is to say, Caex will never be the type to use Fireballs, Ice Blasts, etc etc. However, for minor surges of Aether, he is quite talented in integrating a few styles into his repetoir - with heavy repercussions. The big thing I do whenever I overuse Aether in IC fights, is that I RP a heart condition. Basically it only comes up during the use of Combat where he uses Aether too heavily. This can be from anything from gathering Aether in the legs and mimicking dragoon jumps (much smaller scale, closer to a DRK's plunge than a real jump), to using Aether-Chains (Fandom! HOLMGANGU.) However, the 'Reason' for it is what is the most iffy. Why does it place a strain, on his heart, specifically? What sort of reasons are there that could define this? For this, I started to pull a bit from the Conjurer's storyline. The use taps into himself, as opposed to drawing latent Aether from the surrounding area. Thus, you are tapping your own life's blood in a way every time you use it. Thus, the symptoms are very similar to Cardiac Arrest. But what reason could I have that he is unable to access the surrounding Aether properly?... Reason for Aether Draw This was born of an RP with a friend. They added some Flavor text of the character having a particular 'pull' during their healing - that is to say, they attempted to 'take' more than was being 'offered' by the other character. One of the concepts that they suggested, was a 'strong will to live', but I never found this to be a satisfactory reason. While it was just flavor text, it was really something I wanted to explore further within the character's narrative. I thought to take that versatility, and started to draw concepts. The result I got, was a concept that I took to - but I am in need of help to see if we can make it as clear and concise and 'Lore Abiding' as possible. Reason for Versatility Namely, the concept that I wanted to use was that he has four 'implants' - one for each leg, one for each arm, and a final one at his heart. The four on the outside, I thought to make similar to SoulStones. It would explain the mixing of styles he frequently use, and the method in which he uses them takes precedence over his ability to draw in Aether. Basically, by having something that is drawing in Aether from his surroundings constantly and infusing himself, he has his vaunted strength and resilience - but the penalty being back to that 'heart condition' as mentioned earlier. The fifth implant being where it is funneled to, right over the heart. Maybe a custom soul stone, or maybe something that is meant to /become/ a soul stone (after all, we know they can be manufactured, but there's never really a method given. One that takes the life of the user is an interesting concept.) These are concepts I have been pooling together with time, but I have never had a session where I got to sit down with someone and try to bring them all together, tweak and work them. I would love if someone would be able to give assistance to me in this task - it would REALLY help. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this! Feel free to call me a shitter if you feel like things don't make sense! D:

It is a lie because he also threw Tilekenetic super-blasts! >

trying to find someone IC for this so I can go along and fight as well! but its' pretty rough!

hey guys, just a quick update: I've decided to discontinue this event going forward. It's a bit too much for me to handle independently and since I can't (garuntee) that I can upkeep it, I need to cancel it. My apologies if anyone was looking forward to it tonight.

Percival came out on top from Today's tournament! Was a great match all around to everyone, and we got our first pure-mage character I think (Which was awesome to see.)

I'm sure everyone gets that feeling sometimes. I've kinda hit it too at the moment. Where they feel like they've let their character go stagnant. Maybe you've started to doubt your own ability, maybe you just don't feel your character's involved enough. Maybe you just don't like the way they turned out, in the end. So what do you do when you hit this point? What's the best option, really? Retconning is unfair to others. Killing off the character is a viable option, and will enable you to fantasia/name change to something new. Searching and finding it difficult to find anything involving to get into is one of the worst feelings; where you particularly don't feel very good about any of the potential prospects. You odn't feel like you can interact with others. You start to feel like your character just doesn't have any way of interacting. So I suppose I should ask, what do you guys do when you get to this point? Anyone with advice would be more than welcomed.

This is a bump to say that we're running again today, starting in 40 minutes. Got the PF up a little late to let people know but it is still going

Bumping this for visibility and because I forgot to write hte announcement! we'll be doing another round on Saturday, April 30th at the Lifemend Stump at 3:00 PM EST. We still need to get some Healers, and I would really -love- to get some people who would like to GM the fights with me.

thank you for the fun night tonight, Host Club!

We had a great, full tournament, with tons of awesome fighters! WE realised 5 HP is too much, so we're keeping the "Tie" rule, but lowering back down to 3! (We did this mid-tourney, in the interest of time!) Congratulations to this weeks winner, Artoria! Hope to see everyone next week!

(Hello! I contacted you in game as well, but I wanted to let you know I will definitely try to make it to this - but I might be a little bit late due to needing to get back from a family meeting.) Name: Ver'Svesh Preah Type of date desired: Both are fine, whatever comes of the IC. Gender preference: Both are fine. ^^ Brief description of your character: A mute girl, living out of Thanalan by the land. Simply and plain as they come, but with a positive outlook and a warm smile. She's a small bit of shy, mixed with a lot of respect for the social structures of Ul'dah - she will not raise to meet eyes with a noble, due to an instilled nature as a peasant, but will show them all the respect they request. She is calm, never acting over the top or out of order, but is strangely out of place. She is a firm believer of sharing - and thus, if she sees someone without, or someone who is wanting, readily will give what she does have to make them even. Chatting may be a slight challenge, but communication is not impossible. Patience, Charades of body language, and effort will create a happy atmosphere. Daily Clothes: Clothes loaned for the Day:

Would still welcome any ties if anyone is looking for any ^^/
