  1. Actually, two of the first few tomes of lore just lying around in Gubal Library list a lot of Garlean middle name / titles and what they are, even ones we haven't seen in game yet. I didn't get a chance to grab a screenshot on my runs, though.
  2. Queue up again, quick everyone bumrush it and take it down again!
  3. Ooh, ooh! I'd like to nab a spot for a colored bust! I love your style!
  4. I usually don't bite on doll makers. But I was bore between hunts, and figured making one of my Raen, Yuuka, would be a challenge. [align=center][/align] [align=center](I know it's a mermaid doll maker and I gave her legs. Sorry, not sorry!)[/align]
  5. Finally really managed to get my footing with tumblr (after.. what? three attempts?) with a character dev / inspiration blog for my future Au Ra, Yuuka. And now I'm addicted what has my life become. http://blessingofdawn.tumblr.com Mostly just inspiration in the form of pictures and music, references / info, etc at the moment. But there will be more drabbles and character dev in the near future, especially once HW actually goes live.
  6. I can't speak much to the actual details of how to play a musician. While I've always loved the ideas, it's just never been a character concept that I think I could do well with. However, as someone who does really enjoy reading posts from the more musically-inclined types, I feel like there's one thing you should try to keep in mind: Always be mindful of your surroundings and delivery. Let me use a recent example of what I mean. In the Quicksand a few nights ago, during a pretty busy time, there was a musically-inclined character that was performing a song. The song itself was very nice, and the lyrics were well-written (or well-translated into an Eorzean context if it wasn't an original piece). However, the song was rather long with a chorus repeated 3-4 times and it was put into /yell line by line in very short succession. Chat was already scrolling hard in the area, and when the song started, it became unfollowable for anything that wasn't /yell. Several people instantly started to complain in brackets about the chat spam, and I suspect many people either used /blist or turned off /yell entirely. Context is everything. If that same instance had occurred perhaps in a much less crowded, active area or in a planned event, it may not as been as seemingly ill-received. Likewise, if the delivery of it had just been changed -- a few repeated choruses taken out, several lines of the song emoted at once instead of line by line, done in /em or /say as opposed to /yell, etc. -- then it may have went over better. As it was, I fear that it actually discouraged many people nearby from interacting or acknowledging it and potentially from the roleplayer themselves, if the people that used /blist to deal with the chatscroll never thought to remove them from it afterwards. This isn't meant to be any kind of hate-posting towards musician types that actually type out the lyrics to their songs, of course. I actually really love it when people take the time to be creative and do these sorts of things. This is just an anecdote and spot of advice from the audience perspective of how it can be received sometimes if you're not careful.
  7. As will Audri! Had too much fun last week not to show up again. (:
  8. Last minute entry goooo~ Audrielle Bellerose
  9. I've actually wondered this myself and have almost made a thread for it several times, but never did. I've seen some people play that 100g is a month's earnings, others that 100g is pocket change. (And the characters weren't necessarily 'wealthy', ICly.) It would be really hard to have a set "standard" on currency value, I think.. But I would be really curious to see a survey done on player perceptions of it, nonetheless. Maybe given a list of items / services -- i.e. 'A mug of ale at the Quicksand is worth ___, a top shelf glass of wine is worth ___, a standard quality iron weapon is worth ___, so on.. -- and ask each person to fill in the blanks with what they (personally) perceive the value as?
  10. When you're editing your wiki, find the line: | image = At the end of that line, post your image's complete file name: "File-Kemba'to Brimaz - Closeup.png". Done correctly, it should look like this: | image = File-Kemba'to Brimaz - Closeup.png Hopefully that works for you!
  11. Hey guys! So, things have been kind of slow lately with the pre-xpac lull going on, and I'm in desperate need of something to get involved in. Something more than casual conversation and day-to-day, slice of life type RP that I can really sink my teeth into. I've started putting out my feelers more to try and find something to get involved in, and so.. here I am! Xheja's recently retired from her cosmetics business to focus entirely on her alchemy and poisonmaking. So if anyone has anything going on that might require hitting the underground cobblestones and finding a capable maker of poisons and other alchemical concoctions, hit me up and we can talk specifics! I would love to get involved. (Also, as a side note, pay little mind to Xheja's wiki. It's terribly out of date and missing several key events and changes that have happened in the past few months. If you have any questions or curiosities, just ask instead! Also, if you have trouble finding me in-game on Xheja, I may be on the alt Audrielle Bellerose, fyi!) Edit... Nevermind. <3 Unfortunately, for the time, I've decided not to push myself too far into legitimate burn out, and to shelf Xheja for the time being instead.
  12. We absolutely under no circumstance will we ever accept an Au Ra character into this linkshell! (Just kidding, haha! A good deal of us are foaming at the mouth waiting for 3.0 to make / fantasia into Au Ra ourselves! Just hit us up whenever you'd like an invite!)
  13. Was pretty iffy at first about the Xaela females, but I think I finally made one that I'm really into. Waiting for naming conventions before I even consider anything in that regard, and I have no idea what kind of backstory I'll slap on her. But I'm pretty sure she's going to be my Astrologian. Somehow. Some way.
  14. brb shoving people out of the way to get to the front of the line to shower money upon you, mama bear.
  15. Love your style! I'll offer up my Xheja, if she catches your eye!

  17. Heya! With how busy I've been, I almost forgot about this! I'd like the Striking Shirt for Meiko, if you wouldn't mind! Thank you, thank you!
  18. Sounds great! I'll keep an eye out for you in-game, but if you happen to spot me or another recruiter first, just send us a /tell!
  19. Throw a _NOTOC_ in there somewhere, iirc. That should do it!
  20. We'd love to have you! I'll keep an eye out for you in-game, and feel free to hit me or the others up if you catch us before we catch you!
  21. Question! If we still do have teammates in mind, can we still sign up as premade groups? o: (We've been working on a group but between RL hectic-ness and forgetful minds, we were still working on filling our last two spots. )
  22. [align=center][/align] So stupidly tired. I'm so ready for the month of overtime and no days off to end. Paychecks are nice and all but WTB full night's sleep pls.
  23. Banned for having funny little hyur ears! I mean seriously, how do you hear anything?!
