Heart Quintessence

Can I ask how active you are as a player? I run an IC free company of adventurers based out of ul'dah. Well I just got back in with a 3 month sub. Between job hunting and such. I can make time. Trying to knock out stuff currentl (Binding coil ect) so if anyone wants first time bonuses! I am in!

So, as I just resubbed, my FC is gone and I am seeking to reinvent my character (Yhrea Lasiri), 20-something (early 20s). Connections, friends, lovers, coworkers ect. She's a bit 'young' on the edge of mid-20s, around 23 or so. Seeker-Keeper mixed heritage. Chose to live in Gridanian after the Battle the Cartaneu, or was it the Battle of Silvertear skies? Chose the life of 'adventurer'. Yeah its sparse, I am hoping to flesh it out, and find an FC in the process. (FC wants: RP (Heavy please), 18+ (mature topics are a-ok~), FC House(preferred),I'll take Good/neutral Adventurer or historical/magical folks.

Yeah Sharylans! And yeah Roes!

If you're finding yourself drowning, try and move out of Ul'dah, Ive found people that I've started being good friends with, via being out and about. I saw two people sitting on the ground somplace, sent a Tell, and asked if it was ok to RP with them? Finding smaller FC's is a good choice many of them ae Taverns or little places to rest.

Feed back is heavily appreciated. Dusk & Dawn - A Miquote Blended Miquote experience The Miquote are not native to Eorzea, but two groups physically as different as Day & Night have emerge with a third 'city' collective as diverse as either of the two parent 'cultures'. The Sun Seekers love the day and hunt, and function in a patriarchal society. The Moon Keepers bask in the coolness of night, of moonlight and The Black Shroud. City Miquote exist in Eorzea and beyond its borders ( and are probably the most well spread and have the most variety in their culture and customs). Dusk and Dawn is currently a forming Linkshell that seeks to build a meeting place and perhaps Free Company eventually. First and foremost : Dusk & Dawn is a Group which tries to blend various Miquote Traditions, and tries to create itself anew, with out being strictly limited to the felines we know and love.. Dusk and Dawn is a Good Aligned, but 'Grey' Linkshell ( and potential FC), the plan is to deal with Politics, and Intruige, along with Business ventures (from Monster Hunting, to Crafting!) and other 'darker themes. At least that's the hope. I propose it be a Heavy RP group, overall light hearted by unafraid to stray into darker side of things. It is not a Group at least in my mind that revels in darkness, isntead I view it as taking pieces of Eorzea and beyond, collective cultures and spinning it into something greater. This is all in the planning stages, but I welcome feed back at the moment. Dusk and Dawn (or Heart & Hearth) is a Good Aligned FC/'Grey' Linkshell ( and potential FC), the plan is to deal with Politics, and Intruige, along with Business ventures (from Monster Hunting, to Crafting!) and other 'darker themes. At least that's the hope. I propose it be a Heavy RP group, overall hearted by unafraid to stray into darker side of things. It is not a Group at least in my mind that revels in darkness, isntead I view it as taking peices of Eorzea and beyond's collective cultures and spinning it into something greater. Ranks struction is loose: Originally Heart & Hearth/Dusk & Dawn ICly stems from a blending of Miquote Keeper & Seeker tradtions, filtered through city life, So Houses within the Free Company indicate Branches. Chief/tess - ( This replaces the Matriarch of Keepers & Tia/Nuhn of the Seekers) - The position of Highest Authority can ICly be 'Challegned' for (in a contest of [Head, Hand and Heart] Crafting/Mercantile Branch - House of Hearth -Lord/Lady of the Hearth Magic & Historical/Scholar - House of Lore - Lord/Lady of Lore Battle techniques/Combat - House of Steel - Lord/Lady of Steel Each House(Branch), will have a 'Council/Elders' (i.e. Seconds/Luietenants, people than be turned to when then Heads arent there). I am still sort of mucking around with the ideas. I'd appreciate feed back. I found that there aren't a lot of Miquote 'based' thing in terms of Linkshells, but also realized that I needed to expand the concept to include other people outside of Miquote.

If there is still space my character: Yhrea Lasiri, I'd like her in the LS!

Such responses I'll take them all! And Love them all @Sousny, thanks for the Sharlyan lore dump, that was an excellent summary and does indeed fit with what I was thinking.

OOC Introduction I am Heart Quintessence and I play Yhrea. At the moment she's still very much a work and progress and things re sort of subject to change, but most things listed here are basically 'outlined, and sort of permenant. About Yhrea: Of Mixed Seeker & Keeper Heritage Born and Raised in Affluence, (there for is wellbred, spoken, and polite) in a city (possibly Sharlyan?) What I Will RP: Story arcs- I love long stories, one that build and change, and grow. Always looking for Arcs! Short-Term/Walk up/Lounge RP: I enjoy these, its the little things in life that are everyday, that are important as the world shattering events. Romance- yes please, Yhrea's single at the moment and I would enjoy romance (be it one or many, I view Yhrea, as having the ability to love greatly, in a 'Thou and no Other' kind of way) (She's probably going to be a one person Miquote (in the long term), but she may have other lovers.) Conflict- It happens, and I'd like to to develop her, so all sort of RP are needed. Darker Themes- I am willing to do them, just let me know, and don't spring in on my out of the blue. If it starts to head that way, I'd appreciate a Tell. I'd rather them be important and not constant. For Possible Plot Drive/Story Arcs: I am looking for contacts/friends, foes/enemies, rivals (friendly or hostile). I'm also happy to join an in-progress story arc or perhaps start a whole new one! Conjurery Mentor: Yhrea is always seeking to depend her connection to the elementals and to nature beyond what the conjurer's guild of Gridania provides. Sharlyan? : Yhrea maybe Sharlyan seeking attend the same... 'school' that the Scions attended (considering they all speak similarly, they must have a connection other than being Archons formerly.) Seeking othe Miquote: Yhrea grew up else where, and as such is not tied to her root, Seeker or Keeper ( as she is both n her family tree. She's a city born girl, from a reasonably affluent background) Poltiical RP: Yhrea's from a House known as House Arleon.

Well I am in .This sounds like an excellent Link shell & Group to be apart of. An organization with a goal!

Balmung. End of Story. You'll need to either get (STUPIDLY) lucky, ( super early morning). OR Start on another server, and do a transfer which will cost you 18 dollars USD ( Best chance for getting in)

True. Its something to think about as I look towards next year to RESTART my FFXIV journey. (I admit I miss my mi'quote', but Raen females are SOO ADORABLE). But I have entire to year ponder this. Maybe between now and then we'll get some interesting confirmation on Glamours and other cultures.

Sadly housing is one of those things, that they're working on. They do want to do ' Instanced' housing, but they also I don't think have the server copacity to build thousands of 'extra houses' ( and plots for them, since the plots & houses are two seperate entities. Yeah, you are kinda outta luck on Balmung. Might get lucky. But its RARE. Like getting a SLOT on Balmubng when its open for the 30 seconds it seems like it must be.

But how do Glamours work? I mean we've seen the appearance change in 'Hatchingtide' but beyond that Glamours seem... well how would they interact with Aether in the body?

Yeah I am thinking that any of the Au Ra (if any, I don't think there would be many), if they traveled outside, have been extremely careful to be hidden. (Fantasia?) Or like Yugiri extremely covered ( but even that would get them some looks)

That is interesting. I was trying to figure out if a Au Ra would have been able to hide effectively somehow, in Eorzea, outside of Ishgard, in 'Eorzea' Proper. We know that people must have traveled, but since we haven't seen say any Doman other than the refugees, an certainly no other Au Ra than Yugiri & the DRK Trainer, (prominently), it makes you wonder if glamour/fantasia might play a part. ( Though we also know that Doman is FAR enough away that perhaps the Raen just don't travel and its mostly the Xalea doing most of the leg work. I also am mostly interested how we end up with such insular populations (Ishgard & Doman (Not saying that all Doman, are Hyur-stock and Au Ra-stock), but as far as we know populations travel seems infrequent unless its Calamity( the Mi'quote & Lalafell exodus being the most prominent in my mind. 7 years would put the DRK Trainer pre-Calamity. This was interesting.
