Cliodhna Eoghan

sooo as i'm sure some are aware; erik and i have two kids, our six year old has been really wanting to play xiv but erik said that xiv is "final fantasy high school" and because she's in kindergarten, she needs to start with "final fantasy kindergarten" first. so he got her ff origins on the playstation tv today and started her up. (shocker it wasn't already in the library right? ) her first party wiped hard on the way to beat up garland, she picked the names and classes herself but after that crushing defeat due to a crazy horse; i helped her on the second one. (which is doing much better since i've introduced her to the "well loved" concept of grinding to level/get better gear/afford items/spells ) i'm convinced she named the black mage after stitch because he was known as "experiment 626" and she's watched that movie more than enough times to remember the number. cerese is actually a name for an white mage in training type character i had in a forum ff rp a long time ago.....also another one of clio's former aliases o3o and yus neko...i named the red mage after you. the red wings' only kitty >u< nooow putting the thread back on track after that minor derailing (gotta share those kiddie gamer moments tho!) here's some old ones i never got around to uploading (mostly) bestlander crossed arm party...i forget which cat is hiding behind jancis >.> Edit: looked at it on my ps4,i see a shield....miiiight be jana? maybe? :3 found kellach afk o3o loved the cherry blossoms that were in the housing areas for little ladies day. shame i never got the "princess for a day" tag. :< hangin with chachan annnd habanero forgot how to floor again... >.>

soooooooooooooo bribri and i did an art trade a little bit ago; her lines for my colors o3o love the one she did for me! once i get some very overdue stuff done, i'll color it too >u<

"Mystery box huh?" She replies to Artemis with a light nod, eyes settling on the envelope in her hands. "Sounds a little too familiar..." She adds with a light chuckle, her recent conversation with Kellach drifting to her the front of her thoughts. He also was in possession of a mystery box that listed no owner but needed to be delivered. Tilting her head to the side, ponytail spilling over her bare shoulder, she eyed the open box. "So what's in it? Seems there's a letter too....with that you should be able to track down at least the sender if not the recipient, right?"

i love the colors on the shield overall (bird and metalworks) but the feet stick out to me. they're dapper o3o nice sharp little talons.

when i first made her, i had planned on clio being in ul'dah so i gave her a bit of a tan....honestly i think the tan shows up more in the art than the actual character but that's okay. living in florida as a transplant form further north (michigan) i usually end up with a tan most of the year as well just from being out and about (with sunscreen on a daily basis.) sooo overall it's pretty close. youkio, my rarely used alt is a bit darker but that was more a ascetic choice cause it looked good with the hair color o3o

uh huh....not buyin it will. i know you want to tape me to more random bovines for some reason .---. anywayyyyy~~~~~~ zarek is a dapper sounding name and i love the tag under it, "kicker of faces" made me snicker a little bit.

don't you know smothering with luv is the best grump buster? *snugs too* x3

peeked at your wiki....that is an interesting character! i would love to have a chat sometime ic, let's keep an eye out for each other x3

i love your beachy piratey icon, reminds me so much of where i live x3 i wanna have at least one ic meeting to find out how piratey you are >u

hmm thb i never really have a "set" list of items that clio carries around. typically if she has her toolbelt on (which is frequently) she has at least the following. her tools a pencil or two her planning book a few flyers for her shots contest a bottle of either ala mhigan fire whiskey or mad jack rum (the latter thanks to a certain bard that gave her a crate-full of the stuff for her birthday x3)

Tool belt clinking as she walked, Cliodhna made her way down the street. Under her arm was tucked her leather-bound book as she walked, thoughts full of swirling numbers and figures as she debated the current side project she was given recently. It was the perfect thing for Kurt to learn on. Building the steering mechanism for a personal sized airship had lots of room for creativity and was something he needed to stat with as Cliodhna could easily supervise the project. Glancing down at her book a moment, she smiled....and bumped right into Leanne. "Oops." She murmured, quickly grabbing the smaller Miqu'te as she knocked her slightly off balance. It was then Cliodhna noticed the rather large crowd. "So uh.....What's going on?" She asked, eyes scanning over the group as she still held Leanne still a moment before letting go.

*stares at name and profile icon* bestlander! you have a dapper choice in character models! also sounds like you've already jumped right into rp already, that's great! if you happen to see me anywhere don't be shy and say hi! >u< (also welllcome to the rpc if you're new and not just suuper sneaky lurker x3)

loz, (basically everything from the first nes to the oracle set) alundra dragon warrior monsters can't think of any others atm but i'll add when i do x3

boots was one of my more unique ic meetings and i really enjoyed the interaction. it spawned his nickname and kiinnnnnnndddaa made me ship bootsxleanne....x3 they were so cute in that water fight!

children aside (five???? .____0;;; ) i can see lili and clio being quick friends. really enjoyed the rp the other night and we need to do it again soon. (also you better be at my bachelortte party! ) she's sweet and can hold her liquor, what's not to like?

cooks the biggest blt (no lettuce, no tomatoes, hold the bread and double the bacon) thats sooooo dapper bakyn can't resist....now welcome your new queen >3

leanne is a sweetheart. i knew her a long time before i for ro meet her ic but it was a great rp night and i love when i catch her at events *adjusts her hat* also gave me sooo much fishing info! >u

ooommmgggg flynt. you posting that made me think of this! [video=youtube]

got to rp with val a little while ago (surprisingly not at hod's tavern night) was a nice chat and i looooove the story of how him and faye met that was posted in the lovers card giveaway. sooo cute! >u< and eleni is so so so good at sniping posts but i caught it before i hit submit! i love seeing her post; everything she says is always sincere and positive <3 aannnd will just made me go back and edit. will is so dedicated to rp he makes it a point to rp every night....plus he has a nice avi. :3

i love it when i plop down in the quicksand to be idle and end up with about four or five hours of random rp and chitchat over tells :3

will just found an a rank for me! so dapper and helpful when he's out soloing >u

Ah! Good ol' Sellgilbo!That's a fine fellow. Mastered the thaumaturgical arts a while back and has quite a connection with the Void. Hell of an rp'er. HELL of an rp'er. Can weave magical tales that will leave you mystified. He once sent me a tell that defined rp for the next generation I tell you....and ended it with this, that spoke volumes of his dedication to the craft: :love::love:Many blessing and good luck!:love::love: THAT, my friend is Sellgilbo! *bows* ohhh dapper! i got a request from them today but wasn't sure who they were, i added them but now after reading this, i'm even more curious to talk to them :3

bri these are so freaking cute and wonderful of you to do! >u

it means you kicked in cash to help keep the rpc going or put towards them trying to get new features like a chat box (which in light of the current topic, i'm sure would be even harder to watch over) private teamspeak type chat and some other stuff iirc....i believe there's still a thread in the headlines about it. yep right here :3

if people are staring to suggest removing the rep mods or hiding them, then maybe they should hide the red text on names too. sure it started as a great idea; let's all help fund the rpc because we love this site...but now even something done with the best intentions is possibly under fire of being "toxic" to newer players or those that haven't donated for one reason or another. .....i'm sure a few of you noticed my sig is in a spoiler tag. shortly after i changed it to it's current one i was asked polity to change it or hide it due to the content being possibly considered "unsafe" for work computers and there was comment of it possibly causing crashes with some peoples phones even though i was told it wasn't too mature or out of bounds content for the rpc's tos itself. i'm sure i could have raised hell over it and started pointing fingers about other sigs that are past the size guidelines or other art posted that has a risque look to them, but nope. stuffed it in a spoiler and carried on without an issue. why? because where as i like my sig and i dont think it's a problem....it made some people feel uncomfortable while trying to browse the rpc at work or on their phone. both were valid reasons to me and it didn't hurt for me to be a little accommodating for them overall if it was just a minor change i had to make. my point (i have one i promise) is this is quickly heading into everyone talking about various ways to censer posts, comments, likes rep mods and people wanting to show that they support this site with a red flavor to their text. yes things have gotten a bit crazy in here and yeah i did post earlier that i did notice it myself in regards to new players not getting as much attention but as it was also pointed out; that's a bit of a two way street and some connections don't work out while others do. the point is that both need to make an effort. (as i can attest i have one i'm working with through pm to get some sort of connection and another i plan to meet up with later tonight....once i finish making dinner actually, this is also how i met a few of you in game was posting here either in your thread when you started or mine i posted shortly after joining.) ..but getting back to the topic of removing or censoring the rep mods; why do we need to hide them for new members to feel more at ease? if the community is open and welcoming (which i know it can be and has been many many times in and off game) why should they feel that it's intimidating? a lot of these were handed out for good posts that were helpful to one person or another. as i mentioned earlier, warren helped me with my initial planning on my shots contest ("rolz....what's that? .__." i believe was the reply when he suggested it) i had no idea how to go about it and when i first found his profile on here, i looked at the post count and the amount of rep mods...both are pretty fricken big numbers, but i shot of a pm saying hi, i was new, had an idea for an event and was wondering if i could get some help figuring it out. got a reply shortly after and we were on our way. he was open, nice and giving suggestions for me to gnaw on and work with. shortly after i forgot the big numbers and instead of them being viewed as "better than me" they looked like points proving how dedicated he was to this site and rp. yes i realize that some rep mods given to users were gained through hostile means but if you look at mine and i'm sure a whole ton of others; you'll see a lot were given for saying nice, thoughtful, funny and encouraging things. not every plus1 is given over something negative....but as warren also stated in his post; i don't always have time to stop and say "hey that gif really made me lul" or "i agree" and i'll be honest it does make me smile when i get one because i know it made that person happy for a minute. please don't take away things that were meant to be good and encouraging in attempts to cut out the bad parts that are starting to form. as far as hostile posts go; proofreading is a wonderful thing....i think if people take a moment to really read their replies and think how it sounds to others and not just how it sounds to themselves could really make a change in some of the more heated debates. the lack of body language and verbal tone/inflection does make things a bit more difficult (not to mention some having english as their second language that can sometimes cause miscommunications) i feel are valid enough reasons to be a bit more careful when posting your reply in a more "touchy" thread. everyone should be able to discuses their feels on something even if it's conflicting to someone else. but if we take the time to make sure it's presented while trying to keep our cool; we don't need the mods to clean up spill after spill...or at least quite as much. i'm sure there will still be a flair up here and there, but if you try to talk to someone as you would in person instead of not...i think it goes a bit better. even if both parties decide to agree to disagree in the end. (as stated before; we all pay our own sub and have our own ideas about our rp and best way to do things.) sometimes the opinions mesh sometimes they don't. but instead of trying to force the other party; its okay to say "i tried and they're really set but i still don't agree" and take a step back. i've seen more than one say that their posting as of late and everyone being hyper aware of it lately has been making them self conscious to post and are debating on posting less now....the ones that feel they're in the wrong i'm sure are going to make an effort to change for the better...and if overall tension can go down...i'm sure this will help everyone feel more at ease when loggin in. i really do love this site and consider it an online home. i have right now five tabs open and i check it on my phone most times when im out,though i don't post in all of them, i read a lot of the threads across most the boards. (even if the more gif heavy threads cause it to crash sometimes....:lol: ) but i worry if so many are feeling the need to post less for fear of either enforced censorship or self censorship to avoid the former; how open and welcoming will a barely used forum be? i know we as a community can get over this bump, we just gotta work together....old and new members. how's the song go? look to those who walked before to lead those who walk after
