Aeylis Bloodbinder

I'm just wondering how the firearms will be with machinist, because the way it looks, it seems more gadgety then anything. Which (although OOCly I'm all over that) ICly I wouldn't implement that type of new technology to my character's story...she's more, use a musket like the pirates do.

Aeylis would definitely be interested and willing, but her player would fail miserably at camera angle movement and lose every time ;-; but I'd back the contest at the very least, it would be nice to meet fellow RPing gun-wielders.

FFXIV: the real UFC.

^ This. As I was doing some research on guns, I mostly looked up what pirates used to use (well not just pirates, but any long-ranged user of that time really), and they were more of the pistol types or rifles. And as I was reading, just like Edgar said, I picked up that they had a habit of being quite dangerous to the user. they could either explode in the hand, or simply get locked up if not loaded correctly...thats why some used to carry multiple on hand so they could sustain a bit longer without reloading (Blackbeard was said to carry six single barrel pistols!) but it was still a pain. Now, I RP Aeylis being a gun-wielder, but I don't flaunt it around strangers due to the nature of people being wary about technicalities, but within my own RP where we discuss what things are good and not good, she has used her weapons before (mostly on alt NPC's, never to a real player as of this moment). Although, amongst people I knew OOCly, she has drawn her weapon out in warning, or threat, but I would never RP her shooting at someone unless I discussed this beforehand with them. I've actually gotten a lot of reaction ICly that people get nervous around the gun because they haven't encountered one (which is almost like a /flex for Aeylis because the intimidation is what she goes for). To make it fair within RP, the way I spin it is, she uses it mostly to disable a person or keep them from running. If people aren't okay with the use of pistols (for whatever reason) then I'm fine with it, she'd much rather get the bloodlust enjoyment of killing someone with her axe. I have RP'ed that she either misses due to them moving (In that type of combat RP, I always emote a warning post saying something along the lines of "cocking the gun fully and aiming for this and that" so they can respond accordingly, either moving out before she actually pulls the trigger, or running at her and taking the hit) or the barrel misfiring. Hell, I find a way to miss for one reason or the other if she's not suppose to hit the target, even though she is suppose to be an expert shot. Buuuuuuuuuuut she doesn't shoot to kill anymore because if she were in that mindset, she would NEVER miss, and I don't want to deal with that backlash. So really, it's all up to the people you RP with, I think. Most people I know are fine with Aeylis being a gun-wielder (and not surprised by it since she was raised by ex-pirates) but I don't really bring it out often to keep the peace. And to keep within the question of the OP, the lethal level does not equate to the effectiveness of a gun. On a normal, everyday Eorzean with no armor, no aether ability, etc guns are still extremely lethal. Are they effective on the super beings of Eorzea that run around? probably not. Could I sneak in the shadows and blast a bullet into an unsuspecting, leather or cloth wearing adventurer who is engrossed in eating their lunch? Most likely.

Aeylis's mom was a distinguished arcanist and a teacher of the arts, so before she passed, she taught aeylis how to read and write. After her passing, her mother's family continued to teach her until she became estranged from them in her mid-teens, but she had already learned enough to just keep reading to stay up to par.

... Aeylis. We have a small circle of wallflowers who are always itching to make new connections. You two are free to role-play with us. I think were a pretty rad group... ha. Uhm. Also, if you're willing to piggyback me through things so I can gear up Caelia... there's that! Hahaha.. ha.. hahfdfgsdhjfsd I already said I was kidding! *pouts because scolded*

oh psh, after everyone started being self-righteous and didn't catch my joke: I'm pretty willing to RP with anyone, even if it's just to feel out IC characters then go from there. I would suggest reading my wiki but I haven't updated it in a while. It still holds fairly true, minus a few "character growth" changes. cheers!

how much you willin' to spend?

@telluride (On my phone so can't quote QQ)) How embarrassing haha! She's a sweet person, and definitely don't hulk smash if someone is flirting! Now, if they persist after she informs them that she is unavailable....

Aeylis never flirts. Never. Ever. Also doesn't fall for being flirted with.

Lololol. If someone hands him an axe he'll like... Grab it by the heavy side and throw it thinking it acts like a boomerang or something stupid. Null: "AHHH BAD STUFF. I'LL SAVE US. HUUUMF!" *throws axe, and it drops a few feet away* Null: "... Yay. Fighting." I need that in my life. so badly.

Rum, brought from the beautiful island of Puerto Rico itself. Having the majority of my family over there has it's perks.

If you want someone to take you out somewhere with a feeble axe and throw you to the dogs while she snickers in the background before saving you from being eaten alive.... hit me up.

dag, yo. i'll miss the first one.

I ship Edda and Aeylis. to forever torture Franz. *highfive*

may the RNG gods be forever in our favor.

I thoroughly enjoy RPing with K'washi. hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!!!!! <3!

prepare your livers.

>.>; <.<; count Aeylis in. so hard. EDIT. EDIT.EDIT. Someone make an FFXIV drinking game via a voice chat, and I am so in as well.

Aeylis chops wood. thats her story and she's sticking to it. mmhmm.

w-w-would you fight a girl? >.>;

...huehuehue... X3 *shot by all the arrows* *Points* You, I like your style.

To respond seriously, (even though the shorts would make me so happy): I only wish I had something big to offer, but seeing as I don't even have my own relic yet, pve wants cannot be fulfilled by me ;-; BUT! I CAN offer /anything/ RP wise, be it a first random encounter, help with story plots...heck if you just want to bounce ideas off about character development, PLEASE feel free to message me here or in game. I am 100% down for that! I see that we have a lot of new people and even not-so-new that are still super shy. Hap-hap-happy holidays!

all i want is for female highlanders to have cute booty shorts. sobsob.

I RP there a lot... but... because... I have no words. no words.
