Duplicitous Dame

"Ello sweet'eart. I see yer up ta yer old bullshite 'gain." ~Naharé to Tray'ju Tray'ju to Naharé ~ "And you seem to be hanging around where you shouldn't be. Tell me, how are you?"

Good Gods this needed serious cleaning up. Her wiki has also had an overhaul.

After a ridiculously long wait I finally received mine yesterday. And I was one of the ones who paid for overnight shipping. Never again. If I purchase anything else from the SE store it'll be with normal shipping. This was unacceptable =/.

So, after having had enough I sent my own email to the Square Enix store. I received the same automated response (typo included) from Sergio. I placed my order on the 17th and have yet to receive my book. I don't even have a tracking number. Not only that, but I saw that my order status had changed from 'validated' to 'shipped' even before my ship confirmation email was sent to me (I've been religiously checking my order history for updates). To say I'm less than pleased is an understatement right now.

Apparently a user from the official forums contacted support about the shipping status for our NA books: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/308169-NA-Has-anyone-s-Encyclopaedia-Eorzea-shipped-yet?p=3901053&viewfull=1#post3901053 Granted I can't verify the validity of their statement, but this *might* shed some light as to why our books haven't shipped yet.

I'll be there! Super excited for my first FanFest <3.

SQUEEEEEEE~! Omg Naharé turned out amazing! Thank you so much, love. /snugglehugs

[align=center]The tavern you enter is dim, but the chatter of voices and clinking of mugs is clear. At one table in particular sit two Seeker Miqo'te, one woman and one man. Both are similar in skintone and hair color, and upon closer scrutiny, a connection can be drawn between their facial features. Siblings, mayhaps? The woman's scarred visage regards you with a demented grin and mischievous twinkle in her eye. In one hand she clutches a flask, likely of booze, while the other rests on the revolver across her lap. The man opposite her possesses a much kinder expression. His lips curve upward in a gentle smile and a soft melody hums from his throat. Leaning against his chair is a simple wooden staff and before him on the table are various journals, some about healing, others with scrawled notes. If one of them were to be your companion, who would you choose?[/align] Who are you? You mean this nerd right here? My name is Lucy =). I'm no stranger to RPG's and MMO's. I've done: pen and paper, tabletop, forum, email, console/PC, World of Warcraft, Guild Wars, Star Trek, Elder Scrolls Online, and FFXIV. Besides that I also like to play FPS, fighting, stealth, racing, and simulation games. When I have to adult (*shakes fist*), my day job has me working at a veterinary clinic. My schedule rotates, so my availability can start late in the afternoon or early evening EST. The best ways to contact me are here via PM, via Discord at NerdyLuu#4092, or via Skype at lulz_lucyluu. But who are they? That would be Naharé Mergrey, and her half-brother, X'khajirr Tia. Naharé is my chaotic neutral Limsan mercenary that does what she wants, when she wants, and how she Twelves damn well pleases. She doesn't take no for an answer, would rather tell others no, and laugh in their faces while doing it. A conniving and manipulative woman, Naharé would sooner use your character for amusement and or self gain before discarding of them. Her smile typically belies the true intentions running through her mind. Does she genuinely find you interesting or is it the gil pouch hanging from your belt? X'khajirr is my neutral good Gridanian healer with a big heart and never ending motive to bring people peace and comfort. Violence makes him squeamish and uncomfortable, though he'd be quick to dive in and remedy the aftermath. If someone were to become hostile with him, he'd attempt calm words and negotiations first before ultimately walking away. To raise his hand or voice is a foreign concept to him and something that'd gnaw at the pit of his stomach for days if it ever happened. In need of health care? No eyelashes batted. Looking for someone to confide in? No questions asked. What do they do? Naharé's talent lurks within her abilities as a machinist and pugilist. She also specializes in crafting armor pieces, weapons, and small explosives. All of this is used for her 'career' as a mercenary. Jobs she's undertaken are: import/export, security, escort, kidnapping, sabotage, espionage, and arson. One of her less intense activities is collecting and creating jewelry from seashells. X'khajirr's talent is manipulating aether and focusing it into healing energy. When he's not busy tending to the ill or wounded, he's pouring over tomes or talking to everyone possible that can broaden his knowledge in how to care for others. In his downtime, if there's ever such a thing for him, he enjoys woodworking and practicing with the bow. He'd gladly put together furniture or decorative pieces for you, or maybe even ask to trade tips on archery. And where can I find them? Naharé likes to roam between La Noscea and Thanalan. In La Noscea she can be seen at: Camp Bronze Lake, Aleport, Wineport, Red Mantis Falls, Costa Del Sol, and Limsa proper. In Thanalan she can be seen at: The Silver and Golden Bazaar, Forgotten Springs, The Coffer & Coffin, and Ul'dah proper. On occasion she has paid visits to Coerthas and Ishgard. Recent development has seen her movement mostly reduced to the city states. Traveling over great distances is still possible, albeit at a slower rate. X'khajirr likes to roam between La Noscea and The Black Shroud. In La Noscea he can be seen at: Red Rooster Stead, The Grey Fleet, The Brewer's Beacon, near the Agelyss River, and Limsa proper. In The Black Shroud he can be seen at: Bentbranch Meadows, Lifemend Stump, The Bramble Patch, Hyrstmill, Buscarron's Druthers, Urth's Fount, and Gridania proper. Recent development has seen him spending a little more time in Limsa and even slowly venturing into Thanalan. Types of RP I'm pretty open to any kind of RP. Long term plots, heavy kicks in the feels, comedy/light-hearted, slice of life, mature (violence, torture, murder or attempted murder, substance abuse), temporary capture, temporary injuries, permanent injuries (discussed first), and so forth. What I'm NOT open to is ERP for ERP's sake. No thanks, not interested, not going to happen. If you're not sure about a certain theme, it's okay to ask first and we'll go from there. BUT, if you've made it this far and either (or both) of my characters interest you, please don't hesitate to poke me! I really want to toss these guys at more people and stretch their legs. Their wikis are in my signature below if you'd like to read more about them. I hope to see you all around =).

[align=center]BASIC INFO[/align] [align=left] Characters: X'khajirr Tia, Naharé Mergrey, Lucien Chevalier, Kezia Bashalde Primary Character: Naharé Mergrey (née Rahz) Linkshell(s): The Dauntless, Tentative Allies Primary RP Linkshell(s): The Dauntless [align=center]RP STYLE[/align] Amount of RP (light, medium, heavy): Medium. I prefer to remain OOC when I level or do content. Views on RP combat and injuries: No holds barred. Permanent injuries and character death are by negotiation only. I get the final say on that. Views on IC romance: I'm open to it. Romance is not my character's sole purpose, but it does make for nice story progression. Views on non-romantic (family ties, et cetera): Family ties are closed. RP hooks with fellow Lynx tribesmen are welcome, as are connections that are work related, childhood friends, and just friends in general. Views on lore: XIV is so story rich. I try to abide by lore as much as possible, but I'm willing to work outside of the box if the idea in question is reasonable. Views on chat functions: Say - What my character is saying Emote - What my character is doing Yell - IC Shout - OOC Tell - OOC, unless stated otherwise Party: OOC, unless stated otherwise FC: OOC LS: Depends on the LS [align=center]OTHER INFO[/align] Country: Georgia, USA Timezone: EST Contact Info: PM me here, or contact me via Discord at NerdyLuu#4092. In game works, too! Alts: Majority of my time will be spent with Naharé as she's my main character, although the goal is to attempt splitting time between her and this alt evenly. However, I do put forth the effort in keeping contact with RP partners and organizing RP playdates when we have time. [/align]

Put 'em under spoilers to keep from making a huge post, lol.

*flails* I can't help being smol D:! Hanging out with A-A-Ron was fun, though! And I told him to get that damn donut, but he just sat there and whined about it >_>, lol. (And good Gods is he tall) I've also met Askier and Sounsyy! =D Both of whom... are... taller than me <_<. (I'm noticing a trend here) Three really great people I enjoyed spending time with. Hopefully I can meet some more of you from XIV! And, of course, I've met folk from other games, too.

I'm off work today, so while I would have usually played XIV, right now it's the X/X-2 HD Remaster and learning the Al Bhed language all over again lol. Might play some more Doom and/or start Dark Souls 3 later.

Oh snap! I see Hojo'to and I made it in a few of those . Great time as always, Nef! I appreciate that you run this event for us blood thirsty nerds, thank you!
