Lady Portia Bartel

famous last words Right yeah, easy, and player housing was what everyone expected too right?~ #probablytoosoon Also, does anyone want my number? I'll have a phone setup for unlimited use so I can be reached via voice, text, chat, or e-mail/interwebz~ I was wondering too if I should give out my number or perhaps just my skype, since I'll be harder to find (lol I don't know any of you guys super well). I'll likely be on skype on my phone during the weekend so it might be just as effective at communication as texting lol.

O-ho-ho~ >:3c Yes, Zagi'zi is a bad influence on her. I've been working hard at trying to make her actively more on an evil side, but it's hard considering where she came from/who she used to be. Ever since she killed like 10 people in cold blood, though, and burned down a mansion in the name of sweet vengeance, she hasn't been the same....:angel:

Hehe!! Yay, I want a big bulky Franz bodyguard! ^^ It can totally happen. The Garlean guy can be pretty nice at times, although it's up to others to decide if it's real or a facade. Maybe he can part-time, since there's lots of bumming around Ul'dah to do. He's clearly a perfect fit for this kind of job. Tall Scary Highlander. -or at least looks like one- He's a father himself. Granted, good luck ever finding out his daughter's name. There is a certain paternal instinct that kicks in for those he cares about. (Poor house.) Cooks. Although he might want to default to more...Garlean cuisine, the Eorzean recipes aren't too difficult. Would probably fall into an evil category if left unattended and bored for too long. Educated (although that's a nice Garlean education for the most part) and literate. Likes studying magic depsite all the reasons not to. Enjoys travelling to the Shroud, and hasn't managed to piss off an Elemental -yet-. But that fairy he summons on accident could be a funny RP. Morbidly curious. He might enjoy seeing those "artifacts". Did I mention he's aetherically unstable? Just what every household needs! I'm not kidding about the cake though. It needs to happen. We can have a villain tea time or something. That sounds like a lot of fun, especially villain tea time. I'll poke you if I have any time this week, though if your schedule is anything like mine, will more likely be next week due to fan fest. xAx;; Though, did you mention in another thread that Franz was a little well-off? What might his motivation be, to be a body guard, if it isn't for the coin? Maybe repaying a favor? Maybe some sort of event that happens beforehand? Hm hm hm, brainstormmmms....

I saw you on last night but I was having a bad day and didn't feel like talking to anyone. ^^; but yes I was planning on sending you a tell later today *nodnod*

This would be a good prompt for our characters to meet. My character isn't exactly er, villainous (yet), but he is often out attempting to find ancient and/or powerful books of Black Magic or any magic really, and would resort to any means necessary to get them. STOP.. LOOKING.. AT THE SAME THREADS AS ME!! Also, Caelia would be very disappointed if Noxaelius decided to rob a pregnant woman. You moraless bastard. But, if that were to happen and Caelia finds out how he obtained it.. Expect the stolen artifacts to be returned to your character shortly. (Only if Lillin permits it, of course.) All of that sounds like it could be a relly fun litte story! :0

Hehe!! Yay, I want a big bulky Franz bodyguard! ^^

Okay, so!! So I really want to find an RP partner, or even just....anyone who wants to add someone to their story. I've done most of Portia's fleshing out already, completed some rather big goals for her, but most of the friends I used to talk to all the time are gone, and so I'm sorta without any exciting things to do. A little about her, Portia is a noble who lives in a manor in Gridania. Currently she's 12 weeks pregnant and spends most of her time at home because the house has been abandoned for 5 years and needs a lot of work done. Since it's just her, she's very slowly making repairs. She's of a Lawful Evil alignment (Or something of that nature...the alignment chart is hard for me okay?? @A@), once a great conjurer but now an apprentice to a black mage who she is very devout to (and also happens to be carrying his child). I know pregnant characters are a bit harder to play with, but I still would like to have some fun with her! She's barely even showing, and sometimes has a temper, so adventures can still be fun! Some of the ideas I had to get her involved with something would be, -Anyone looking to play a bodyguard character -Anyone ICly desperate for gil -A fellow fledgling thamaturge in need of help with something -Someone looking to open an orphanage, but lacks the funds -A villainous character looking to steal some powerful magical artifacts in her possession ....and really just open to any other plotlines anyone else has! I just want to be involved in something, so...send me /tells! Thank you!

@n@ So many replies! Portia is a noblewoman from Gridania, I'm currently saving up and doing commissions for a medium house to use as her manor. I only have her wear a dress around, she doesn't wear adventure clothes, ICly she's very much one of those rich type characters, and I need more friends to RP with, so you can send me a tell anytime!!

... Dear god. Time to start planning. Too bad they don't allow us to import HUD settings I am suddenly happy I use a very default-based HUD. ...allocating everything to a new crossbar for controller will be "fun" though X_X Ugh. Well all I'll be able to do is take a picture of my spell bar and the order of it....thankfully mine is also very default-y.

.........I just realized my performance will be GREATLY hindered, considering I play by muscle-memory using my gaming mouse. >~>;;;;

*rolls in* I'll be there! WHM at i100, BLM at i90 Gots room?

Adurhurhurhur The pose was my idea.

I was doodling for myself again on the train though, forgive me everyone!! OTZ http://i.imgur.com/vLLXfAa.png[/img] I've all but officially decided to go with the name Luna Bartel.

If you could, wait on it for maybe a week? ^^; Or if earlier I'll contact you, but I had a test this weeks so I'm a few days behind in my work and still have a whole list to go through.

I'm sorry everyone I shoulda been working on commissions but my haND SLIPPED AND I DID A THING FOR MYSELF RRRRRRRRRR BABIESS

A fine piece of parchment is hung upon the notice boards in Gridania. Heavy card stock with a design around the edges stamped in gold ink; it was clear from the very way the notice was printed that this wasn't just a job for anyone. The top of the notice read, in bold letters: Looking for Paid Help Either short or long term, the Bartel household is in need of multiple service positions to be filled. Duties would include tending the grounds, taking care of the stables, cooking meals, washing dishes, doing laundry, polishing silver, washing the floors, and dusting. Paid weekly. Meals included. Lodging also available but not necessary. Please send letters to Lady Portia Bartel of Gridania to request more information. (If your character is looking for steady income, honest work, and a more permanent residence than spending every night at an inn, send me a /tell online, or write a letter here in reply. )

I'm bored so here a lil bardic joke spinoff of this, (Warning, this is all made up from looking at the picture and most likely not accurate) Our knight once met a lady, who decided to have a party. Drink, they did plenty, and our lady now felt tipsy. On a whim or perhaps a dare, she decided to lay it bare. Dumbfounded the knight tried not to stare, as he was caught unaware. And so to the door our poor knight rushed, as he tried to cover his red flush. Jokes aside, your work so far has been pretty nice! OMG THAT'S AWESOME HAHAHA.

D: I've once again been hiding away on my alt! Check for Seraphim Locke if not Portia!

It's okay. She's a mage and possibly would have electrocuted him for staring at her boobies. ...Unless she wanted him to see her boobies. :V She was so drunk, Portia wanted everyone to see her boobies. Alice enjoyed it very much as well. >:3c

And now I'm gonna make this post for Granis because he commissioned something that happened between Portia and him. :'D

Oh, yeah sorry! I thought you were meaning like, if I had slots open when you for sure knew what you wanted. You're on the waiting list now c:

I spied you in /shout in the Shroud either last night or a few nights ago when I was leveling up/RPing with Sera. 8-) Cannot hide from ME!

Bah! D: I'm sorry, that time-table on the first post HAS been accurate.........up until a few days ago when I started wanting to run away from it all and secretly level my alt in peace @~@ If I'm not around, you can try looking for Seraphim Locke, and poke me to get on Portia.

aaaaaAAAhhhh- *hyperventilates* That is a LOT of people! @A@ Well, the price per head would still be the same even at that number, so 150k per person uncolored or 175k per person colored. So if it were colored that is 1.4 mil - 1.75 mil Excellent. You -are- free to say no or limit them! But a few of us thought that it'd be nice for a group pic, *goes to discuss with friends* I can't say no to a big commission like that! @w@ It's a challenge and would take a while to finish, but I'll do anything for my future private mansion. Darn you, SE and your private housing lies!!! D:
