Upon a page torn from one of the various editions of the Tonberry that had been passed about, delivered, or ultimately tossed to the wind; one particular article would be found nailed to the market-boards in Limsa Lominsa with a smear of ink in appearance of a hand print and the scrawl of Eorzean text writting along it's bottom that reads quite simply: "We are watching". There is no a trace as to whom left it there.

And down goes Odette's name. Do I even need to say which category?

Rini, this is so sweet of you. IDK how you do it. ♥ Going to cast in my lot too. 1) Thavnairian Set 2 ) Owlet 3 ) Lord Levin Lamp

A brisk, morning breeze of salty ocean currents tugged lightly upon the edges of an open paper, the parchment halted in it's wayward dance only by the slender fingers that grasped it. Within the fold, an ocean-hued gaze weaved over the contents to take note of each written letter. True enough, most of what one would print in each printing of the Lantern was advertisement or exaggeration, yet something in the most recent edition had caught the eye of the blonde bardess whom had found the time to peruse... "It would seem the good detective has yet t'catch his illusive prey," murmured the highlander from within the shadow of a hat's wide brim, the words directed at none in particular though drew the odd look from a passing Lominsan. A soft hum played upon the woman's bronzed lips in consideration for written word and the philosophies that came with the morally grey. Tap, tap, tap. The pad of a sunkissed digit patted lightly against the crinkled edge of the article. Interestingly enough, the actions of this vigilante wasn't exactly ones the shapely seafarer could disagree with. When the system reached inevitable failure as had been proven, burdens always fell on the broadest of shoulders to take on the mantle. The biggest curiosity, in her mind, was the drive behind it. Odette would be lying if she said her interest wasn't piqued in more ways than one. Perhaps it was time to find and speak with this Inspector for a second time.

Thought by many to be mere common criminals, some would say they play an unseen hand in maintaining order in the buccaneer's haven of Limsa Lominsa. The Hands of Edelweiss are a semi-secret organization within the rogue's guild of Limsa Lominsa, a creed-based cove publicly known and fronted as the convent "Dutiful Sisters of the Edelweiss". Comprised mainly of like-minded rogues, thieves, sailors and scouts from within the convent's membership, the inner-sect see themselves as the hands that strike where needed. Within the city-state and beyond, they for the betterment of the world around them, whether it be in active participation or the collection of information that serves a 'greater good'. Each digit of the symbolic hand is reference to the five senses; the mastery of each a goal to strive for in escaping death. Much like the guild in which they were born of and work within, the Hands are subtle minded anarchists, vigilantes in their own right, whom have many a time have been relied upon for the reclaim of missing items, missing persons and the placement of occasional wrench in plans of corruption. Whispers within the halls of the cove speak of it's existence as though it were a myth and the common rogue may go years without hearing of it's operation. However, what can be traced back through the grapevine are matched reports stating that the group was founded several cycles ago by a man known only as Amarok the Grey. It is said this enigma continues to watch over the cell from afar to this very day; only making direct contact for the most dire of circumstances. Thus the congregation of Hands have no clearly defined leadership, instead acting as single unit united by shared ideals. Hands are free to go about their business within the rogue's guild and beyond, not beholden to anchors of routine with the expectation that they will act when action is needed. Always alert, ever vigilant and ready to answer the call. Hands, like the rogues, police their own and deal with betrayal swiftly and silently. [align=center]For every shadow that is met with gaze, so shine two eyes looking back.[/align] [align=center][/align] This is a linkshell based guild, that works on anonymity for those whom wish it. It is created to serve as hook provider for those whom RP within the Rogue's guild to reach out and involve others in their RP or collect information. The Hands has a strict No Metagaming rule in place. Neutral-aligned, good inclined. Currently a work in progress as things take off. Please see the IC tab for more information on how you can get involved! [Placeholder - More information to come]

Odette would likely have ended up as a Garlean conscript, in truth. With the invasion of Ala Mhigo and the fact that she had already been dragged kicking and screaming into Imperial hands as a child of only five cycles, were it not for her mother's barbaric sacrifice of life to see her daughter protected then she would have ended up a much different person than the woman she is. A life of freedom and high seas, the years spent as pirate captive which prompted delve into the rogue's guild... none of it would have happened, replaced instead with strict militant discipline and combat training that would have taken her natural sense of duty and turned her into loyal Garlemald hound. /imperialsalute

I keep meaning to come to one of these, but I keep forgetting! Hopefully will pop by and participate in the next one!

I like that trenchcoats and combat boots ruin people's immurshunz but bunny ears and succubus horns don't.

Hello there Gene! Odette is always on the hunt for connections from every walk of life. That being said, she too was a deckhand for many years about Limsa and dabbles in and out of what might be considered lawful depending on the situation. Please feel free to give her wiki a read and see if her character type is up your alley, or shoot me a tell in game. I'd love to work something out with you.

OH HEY. Another sassy seafarer! We should be friends.

Server is up, Greg. Not sure if character creation is still open.

Welcome to the RPC, Greg, and the server when you get there! Luckily for you, the server is going down in 20min for maintenance. If you manage to have everything up and running by the time it's over (approx 4hrs from now), you might be able to slip in and make a character on Balmung before the inevitable lock-out that comes with the wave of log-ins.

Hello there! You can make your linkshell page here where it will be added to the directory: http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/forumdisplay.php?fid=15

[align=center]"There's a reason Santa created a Naughty List. And you're just one of those reasons Odette Saoirse." ☆[/align] Huehuehue...

Odette's theme is Freedom. Easy, one might think and surely on the surface it is - the encouragement of personal freedoms, free thinking and considerate exploration of that theme and an appreciation of life and present. But what about when the freedom to choose leads to needed consequence? Such a choice does not make one immune to it's ripples, after all. What happens when the freedoms of others are challenged? When a child is unable to live untainted? When your friends are all bound by the ways of the world, their pasts and the state of their lives? When the government is corrupt and unyielding? The opportunities created are borne from a sense of duty to do, to be and to provide better without being blinded to the world itself. With duty, comes action... and it isn't always pretty. It is not uncommon for Odette to challenge ideals and lifestyles with the query; "When was the last time you were truly content?" Ironically in her desires and drive to see others live free, she herself becomes subtly bound.

Incredibly generous of you Rin, truly. I will happily donate some mogstation codes next time! 1. A Falconer's Shirt (Dyable) (Sorry Sig, it'd look better on Odette) 2. A Thavnairian Bustle (So I don't have to keep borrowing one!) 3. A Company Tabard (A gift!) 4. A Fat Cat Minion (Another gift!)

It was a silent day on the IC linkshell front, when out of nowhere... We're all very mature. Honest!

Oh fun! This is an easy one for Odette, and her main character theme. It's adaptable for time and place, light-hearted and melodic yet somehow works with badass slowmo fight scenes as well. [video=youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WlTspWZOIdA

[align=center]A few days early, perhaps. But, with the kickoff beginning in Eorzea... Happy Starlight everyone! Here's hoping your holidays are enjoyable ones. All those I've met, thank you for making the last few months my absolute pleasure. For all those left to meet, may the new year bring us that chance. ♥ ☃[/align] [align=center][/align]

The amusing summary of a life spent growing up on the docks:

Ahhh, that's amazing! Arik strikes perfectly, yet again! :love:

We have the same outfit (mostly) and the same coloured chocobo! On that note, welcome to the forums! I hope you enjoy your time here and find what it is you're looking for~

Like many characters, Odette has numerous sides to her character and development. Whilst I normally refer to Depache Mode's "Freestate" as the song that is most in line with the expression of her ideals, Gavin Dunne's "Wake the White Wolf" currently sums up past and present events perfectly. [video=youtube] Also, someone sent this to me as a recommendation. It's extremely cheesy, but it just fits our everyday Odette oh-so-well. :lol:
