Ruran

Fair warning, most of my Au'ra inventions right now are quite possibly dubious (I blame her employer). However! She is always looking to talk tech, swap explosive powder recipes and more! If Locke has any tech out when she is around she will invite herself in to examine it with or without his permission. She is nosy like that. Haha, Locke is good with people who do that. He'd probably enjoy someone geeking out over his stuff. She sounds very interesting, I can see them getting along! Aaah, I've been considering having Orrian stop by the Runestone just to see what it's all about. I could also see some interesting interactions with Reiner/Orrian or Reiner/Atreus! Hmm! Yes! Val got in touch with me recently, we might be able to connect the three of us! I'll be having Locke stop by HoD's tavern night next week, so there's a possibility right there. ^^ I'm interested in hearing more about your characters, and I'll definitely check out Turks!

Locke and Orrian!

Thank you, Nebbs! My LS list is full on my main, but perhaps I could join it on an alt! Uuugh, yes, Nah! We keep missing each other, that must change! Haha, Rini. Sounds great, I'll be sure to look you up! Oh man, Elaris, I'm liking this potential. +_+ I'm the same way with Atreus, I've only introduced him to a couple people for specific plot reasons. He's not really the type that I can just RP around and do whatever because of how volatile he is. But yeah, they should definitely meet at some point. As for Orrian, that sounds good too! Duskwights! I'm totally down to meet your Au'ra, Brianna! Who knows what kind of inventions Locke can bring to the table by the time 3.0 rolls around...

Oh, wow, thanks for the replies! And the good words and compliments. You're all awesome! I wasn't expecting to get anything. o///o Clio and Li, I'll keep an eye open for you two for more RP! Foxberry and Haunt and Nailah, I'd love to start up some RP! Atreus is actually in MercWorks, so shouldn't be too difficult to give you a poke, Nailah. And yesss, Vhali and Miata are pretty great together. Double the trouble.

Hello everyone! I've never really...posted here much before (/nervous), but I wanted to bring my characters out and see if I could catch anyone's interest! I have a few, some played more than others, but I'm willing to hop on any of them for some RP. Without further ado! Locke Rinannis (RPC Profile) My main character and the one I've invested the most in so far, Locke is a Midlander mechanic based in Ul'dah, studying clockwork tech/magitek/airships, and even has his own repair shop in the Goblet. He was raised in the northern part of the Black Shroud and has a history in voidsent hunting, though that life seems to be behind him for now. He's very nice and polite, great for coaxing conversations out of shy characters, but he's also good at following stronger characters' leads. He has a strong moral compass, and he's generally a good friend to have around! Looking for... Friends. Locke is a friendly guy, and he likes getting to know people better. A chat over drinks. Or oggling at airships. Or sparring. Or testing battle mammets. Or anything! Repair Shop Clients. Locke has flyers around Ul'dah to advertise his shop. People who are interested in purchasing his services (building and repairing tech/airships) could easily find one of these papers and visit him (The Goblet, Ward 1, Plot 41 - Southeast Subdivision). People in need of help. Whether they be mechanic- or Voidsent-based problems, stabbing monsters, chasing a pickpocket, or serving drinks, he's always willing to jump in and assist people who need it. Orrian Servais (RPC Profile) A grumpy Duskwight mage who studies the Void, primals, Ascians, and things of that nature. His intentions are shady, and he seems to be willing to do whatever it takes to further his own goals. His preferred city-state is Ul'dah, but he's been known to travel anywhere for the sake of his research. He tends to mind his own business, so he lends himself better for bolder personalities to pull him along. Looking for... Suppliers of illegal goods. Banned herbs, voidsent parts, heretical texts, Orrian wants it all. He'll make the most of underground suppliers and pay a hefty sum for a few particular items. People with aetheric anomalies. Orrian's curiosity often gets the better of him, and it's the best way to get his attention. Through word of mouth or just by speaking with him, it's possible that he could eventually study or even cure their ailments, plot pending. Fellow mages. Even if Orrian comes across as rude or a snob, he's willing to admit when he doesn't know something. Someone to bounce ideas off, have a couple intellectual/philosophical debates, or teach him a few new tricks would be nice. If they're interested in the same questionable subject matters as him, that's a plus. Vhali Tayuun (RPC Profile - Not much there yet.) An outspoken and stubborn Keeper who has a knack for getting into trouble. A normal life bores her, she wants excitement! And so she does her best to fill her time with troublemaking, pickpocketing, archery, and pursuing adventure. She can often be seen around La Noscea and the Thanalans, steering clear of the Black Shroud for the timebeing. While Vhali tries her best to seem as innocent as possible, she's...both simultaneously great and terrible at it. Somehow. She can sometimes be seen with her sister, Miata Luna. Looking for... Underground shenanigans. She tends to lean this way by nature, sticking her nose where it doesn't belong or getting a thrill from running from the Brass Blades. She would be a good character to develop into some of these criminal LSs around, she just needs to get her foot in the door. Friends. Vhali is an even better character than Locke for getting to know new people. She'll pull questions out of the air and entice conversation, not really caring what the other person thinks of her. She's a pretty great drinking buddy. Profit. If you're going on a dangerous trip with big rewards, Vhali wants to be there. Do you need a guide? Does it pay? Vhali will take you. Does she know where she's going? Probably not. Atreus del Alumet [ingame name: Atreus del'Alumet] (No RPC Profile) I hesitate to mention this character because of likely lore bending, but Atreus is out there for people who are interested. He's a man-turned-voidsent (Locke's brother with an alias) back to glamoured Midlander: a twisted survivalist, hot-tempered and incredibly selfish. Severed from his humanity and easily driven to rage, he won't think twice about attacking innocents. (The only exception thus far has been for those who prove themselves more useful alive than supper.) He makes for a good villain or a wild encounter/conflict, just there to spice things up for people who want that kind of thing. Kind of nice to have a PC monster instead of an NPC one sometimes. Looking for... Conflict! Currently, there's a notice at the Twin Adders for an attack in the Black Shroud by a man of his description. Voidsent hunters, adventurers, people with strong aether? Atreus is good for a fight. Want your poor unsuspecting character to have an injury or a story to tell? He's your man. Voidsent/'Voidtouched'/Void Sympathizers. Allies? Rivals? Hmm! Details I work from home, so I can be available most of the day. I have raids Tues/Wed/Fri nights (9pm EST), so it can be difficult to catch me on those nights until 12am EST. My Skype is nomocer if you'd like to contact me there, otherwise PMs or ingame whispers are just as fine. Thanks for your time!

"Please, just call me [name]!" in response to Locke using 'miss', 'ma'am' or 'sir'. Just let him be polite!

Locke is a mechanic and budding engineer. He deals mainly with clockwork items (mammets and such) but has been getting more into magitek and airship technology.

Coincidentally, Locke got drunk for the first time ever last week. Turns out he's quite giggle-happy. But he was in a very joyful situation and was just loving all the good feelings around him. He shows his emotions in the extreme of the situation. When there are happy people around him, he's falling over and laughing and grinning like an idiot. When sad, he's bawling and hugging or curled up in the fetal position. ... So he basically becomes a parody of himself. Orrian has never been flat-out drunk before, though he enjoys a glass of wine now and then. I imagine he'd either just internalize more, or be more loose-lipped and cranky than he normally is and get into trouble with his heretical statements. All while scientifically marveling at the outcome of his own intoxication!

Locke tries his best to be good with children, but he didn't have to deal with them much until recently. Mainly he'd just let them do what they want but keep an eye on them to make sure they stay out of danger/trouble. Maybe try playing a game or find something educational. Orrian (or basically any of my alts) with kids? ...

As the Nanasha barracks' official handyman, I will be there to make sure all you crazy Royalists don't break all the stuff! D:

Character Name: Locke Rinannis Character Type: Mechanic (clockwork/magitek/airship) and business owner. Proficient with hand-to-hand combat and daggers, is known for being quiet and rather stealthy. Availability Day(s) of the Week: Any day. Time(s) of the Day: The best time is usually 11pm-5am EST. Although if planned in advance, I can be around anywhere between 7pm-7am EST. Frequent Locations: Ul'dah, the Goblet, Silver Bazaar, Vesper Bay, Lavender Beds, The Mirror Planks, Buscarron's Druthers

Teehee~ <3 Mm, Locke had a mild kind-of crush (I don't know, it was cute) on Coraliza Velia at some point, but it never went beyond friendly chatter with some awkward 'if things were different' discussions. He also felt similarly to Miata Luna, with mutual interest, but it never got off the ground. Orrian feels no crushing, and my other alts haven't been RPed enough to have interests, unfortunately. D:

I'll attend as well, as part of the Free Wing Society!

Locke Rinannis: i124 SCH/WHM, i110+ NIN/MNK/BRD, i106 PLD/WAR - Content Cleared: T10 and all Ex Primals - I'm pretty set on Locke as far fulfilling PvE content and am totally down with helping people out with whatever! Just send me a tell or a message here. Orrian Servais: i119BLM/SMN - Content Cleared: T7 and Garuda/Titan/Ifrit - Would loooove to get a T8 farm for the High Allagan casting robe for Orrian. Getting to Shiva Ex would be a plus, but I'm not pushing it for him. I'm free most evenings and late nights EST, though I tend to have my static on Wednesdays/Thursdays (it varies slightly). But yeah, I'll keep an eye on this thread!

Pass one my way (Locke Rinannis), please!

A simple prosthetic arm has been around for centuries. With magitek technology, I imagine it would be entirely possible for it to advance in that direction. It's actually something that my character has been starting to look into. As Aya said, it would likely be expensive. And the more complex and advanced it is, the more rare it would be. But yeah, I say go for it, if you've got a story that fits.

Oooh! o/ My character, Locke, would love to meet a fellow tinkerer! He works with magitek and clockwork items, has his own repair shop in the Goblet, and is currently looking into airship mechanics. Let's let our characters meet! It would be awkward and wonderful. Also yes, an Ironworks LS is a fantastic idea. If one actually exists, hit me up!

I have a character or two that would be interested in something like this!

I don't even care what color it is, I'm tired of seeing it everywhere! Glad some people are enjoying the speculation/science aspect, but yeah. Everywhere.

Hmm! I like this. I like this a lot. But how do I chooooose? *picks them all* For Locke and Lili... And then there's Orrian:

Locke is actually a perfect target to steal from. <_< He never suspects anything bad to happen, trustworthy and optimistic to a fault as he is. It wouldn't be the first time something's been stolen from him, and it'd be cool to work something out with you!

Finally went through the ol' screenshot folder and picked out some good shots from Locke and Lili's little beach elopement! http://i.imgur.com/th36Xk0.png[/img] http://i.imgur.com/LINjojK.png[/img] http://i.imgur.com/xnrvYvh.png[/img]

Orrian is sort of a villain, or has the potential to be one. People often come to him to help with their aetheric illnesses, and he only agrees to help in order to gain knowledge, with the intent of twisting their conditions (or even prolonging/worsening them before improving) for his own benefit. He's not amused, pretentious, and can be rude/insulting from the get-go. Great for parties! \o/ But yeah, if your character has some sort of corruption/aether irregularity, and you're ICly looking for a cure but OOCly looking for your character to get into some trouble, Orrian can kill two birds with one stone.

Yeah, they're likely just not notable enough to put in the Preview. Also it makes me think maybe that means they'll be easier to obtain. *crosses fingers*

Well, at least Lili can give him some advice? She's going to joke about it for a bit. "So I just got married. But look! I have a matching blonde lover with extra trimmings! How delightful!" Then work on actually helping him. This is what he gets for not reading the fine print!
