GhostlyMaiden

Hello! I like the concept for all of your characters and it was nice to do a quick read through of all the wikis. My Raen Marigold, is/was a vigilante (it's debatable now) who is going through a bit of a rough spot in her life currently. She's been found drinking excessively a lot more often in the Quicksand and for someone who is often a good person to chat with, she tries to keep to herself. If you're interested, let me know! When it comes to RP outside of the game, my preferred method is RPC since I check it most frequently. However, I also have discord if that is what you prefer.

I would love to be put on the waiting list for a digitally-painted headshot. :3

1. Plush Cushion Minion 2. Orchestrion 3. Expeditioner Set + Punching Gloves (Female) 4. Wind-up Shiva 5. Wind-up Leviathan 6. High House Cloche 7. Stuffed Mandragora Queen 8. Toy Box 9. Expeditioner Set + Punching Gloves (Male)

Entry 6 - Conflict of Ideals: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Within this moon, I have hunted quite a few criminals and was successful in finishing them off. Only a couple have managed to escape my grasp and I told myself it wouldn't happen again. Now, I'm unsure. And it's his fault, all his fault. If I never made that stupid deal, I wouldn't be in this mess. Tray'ju. A smuggler I met at Vesper Bay - I wasn't looking to kill him, but instead use him to get to his employers . Of course, he wouldn't let that happen and once I realized he wasn't going to make it easier, I told myself that I would have to instead remove the source and deal with knowing it would now be more difficult to find his employers. Even after taking a bullet to my right shoulder, I had him on the ground and ready to face death, but he threw a surprise at me. Literally. I'm still not sure what it was, but he threw a drug at me to not only blind me but send me down to my knees as well. If he wanted to, he could've likely finished me off. He didn't though and at the time, I didn't understand why. I knew we would meet again, but I figured it would be more like last time except with me actually finishing him off. Alas, that's not was is was like at all. Arcadeus needed information on 'B.B' in order to track him down and find the relic he stole from out client. What we did know about 'B.B' is that he has worked with many smugglers and even had a recent shipment in Vesper Bay. Lucky me, I happened to know a smuggler so I was tasked with getting what information I could. I knew he would drive a hard bargain for it, after all, I did try to kill him, but he was the only chance I had. Part of me wishes I never made the deal. On the surface, the deal seemed unfair to me for such small information. Under the surface, I thought I had gained the upper hand. Not only would I have a year to kill all these other criminals he would lead me to, but I would be able to remove him from the picture too. However, as I sit here now, alone in the dim-lit room, I begin to think that I made a mistake. I haven't known Tray'ju for that long and even so, he has already accomplished so much. He has successfully obtained a new smuggling partner, beat my ideals to the ground, and tempt me with Somnus. With everything he has done, I can already tell I'm changing. But maybe, just maybe, that isn't a bad thing. As much as I loathe this man and want to think he is wrong, maybe I'm just not thinking clearly. I don't think I can fully admit it to myself, at least not yet. This entire thought process is leaving me conflicted, I need more whiskey. *Side note: After the injury sustained in my fight with Tray, I am unable to feel anything in my right arm. I am unable to move it and with this setback, I am unable to fight. I need to keep my guard up at all times because of this - I'm at a disadvantage. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - OOC Note: I finally caught up with the entries! I actually skipped over some stuff that happened within the month that she has been around, but I took the time to consider how crucial it really was to her character development and saw it as something that didn't matter too much. Any entries beyond this point is considered on time unless stated otherwise.

Entry 5 - Secrets: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I've seen him, again and again. I can't bear to see the sight of him, but not because I don't like it. It's actually quite the opposite. I care for Waylon and I told him that Kanako was dead. He believed me and was left alone to think bout what I had told him. But what if. What if I made an exception? If I did that, then we would go through the same cycle as we did before. Sure we would have good times, but it would only be met with pain shortly after. Is it really worth it? Is it really worth telling him the truth? My entire reason for doing this is so others wouldn't have to worry about me, am I really going to go against that for one person? If I do it for one person, I might certainly do it to others and at that point, there would be no reason for the name at all. I shouldn't do it, but I have this longing to still tell him. If I told him, we could go back to the way things use to be, before I went to chase something in the shadows hoping I could catch, only to find myself going further and further until I was lost. Maybe, things will be better this time. Maybe it would even be a good idea for him to know. To have that one person to keep me grounded. Maybe it's not such a bad idea after all. - - - I was right. When I told him the truth, he was livid. He couldn't believe I went so far as to make him believe that. I know him well, deep down I knew he would fully understand why I did it and accept it. I was right, he did. He was angry that I told him Kanako was dead, but was happy to know who I really was. Everything will be okay.

I know that Jenova has a small rp community there, I even think they have some LS and FC listing here on the rpc. (I would link it back if I wasn't on mobile)

Still looking for connections, but Marigold has go through some changes since I last typed this. I'll add them to my wiki (and probably here) when I get the chance.

THAT IS SUCH AN AMAZING SKECTH! Thank you so much.

I've never RP'd with Roen before, but I have seen the stuff they've written in the forums and I absolutely love reading it. They're a good writer and have a lovely avatar.

Mod Note: The thread has been cleaned up a bit. Just a friendly reminder that to please keep the conversation civil. Thank you!

Marigold: Her cheeks turned a light pink as the stranger kissed her on the cheek. The two were drinking together and the man was about to depart to return back to his Free Company for the night. She chuckled afterwards and leaned back against the counter behind her. "How flattering." Aulbiene: Simply people watching outside of the Quicksand, the stranger kissed her on the cheek and as quickly as they came, they left. Aulbiene didn't seem to react much as all as she continued to watch the people as if nothing happened, however, she did roll her eyes out of slight annoyance.

I always love talking to Askier, they're a good RPer and it's good to see them back!

Using this as a reference! Aulbiene would most certainly be wine and martini, but if I had to narrow it down, I would say martini. Marigold would likely be Versatile vodka.

Entry 4 - Waylon Baladur: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - When I arrived in Ul'dah, I met a Highlander. He was someone that Kanako loved, but also brought her great pain. To see him as who I am now felt very strange. He called me 'Moon' and I had to prove to him that I wasn't her. I am Marigold, just a vigilante, nothing more. The news of Kanako's death almost brought him to tears, I could see it no matter how hard he tried to hide it. I even gave him that red pendant that he gave to her as a gift, a pendant she always wore. When I left, he looked completely distraught. Part of me wished I could just give him a hug and tell him it was okay, that there was no need for sorrow. Alas, that isn't something I can do, because everything isn't okay. He is the first person I had spoken to about her death and I already know that delivering the same news over and over again isn't going to get easier. But this is for the better, for everyone's sake. I won't have to worry about bringing pain and sorrow to everyone I know like Kanako did. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - OOC Note: I'm still very behind since this was something that happened at the beginning of the month. Until I can FINALLY catch up, the entries will remain rather short.

Welcome to the RPC! I'm an officer for a FC known as Arcadeus! We're a group of relic hunters trying to keep the relics from falling into the wrong hands while also getting a bit of coin from it. We've been running events rather frequently lately, usually, it's one event a week but sometimes it can be more. If you're interested, just click here for more information about us! If you have any further questions about the FC or the RPC itself, don't hesitate to ask!

Hey! It's been awhile since I've done something like this, but my character(s) received a recent revamp and I thought I should look for more connections. [align=center] Marigold || Wiki || Journal || Quick writing[/align] Marigold didn't seem to even exist until recently and she's already making a name for herself. Once claiming to be a Vigilante and hunting any criminal she could find, she was fairly successful until something changed. No one is really sure what it was that brought the change. More recently, people have noticed her drinking excessively in the Quicksand and keeping to herself. Although she claims to be a smuggler, she's only known for taking said jobs when she is with Tray'ju. Not only a smuggler, but she is a member of the free company known as The Limitless Reliquary and was a former member Arcadeus. [align=center] Aulbiene Daivere || Wiki[/align] Aulbiene Daiviere is a Duskwight born and raised in Ishgard, but she wasn't one of the lucky ones. During most of her childhood, her family struggled with poverty and had to do anything they could to get by. It wasn't until the Astrologians agreed to take her and her younger brother in and train them. While studying Astrology, Aulbiene also began to research on other offensive magicks. With allies to help her, they experimented with using Aether Crystals as her source and she finds this to give her much more freedom with casting and with special gloves to hold the crystals in place, she also has more freedom of movement. She fled Ishgard recently and at age 30, this is her first time outside The Gates of Judgement. The reasons as to why she fled are likely unknown to commoners, but for bounty hunters or vigilantes, they know that she is a wanted woman. She doesn't make any efforts to stay out of sight in Eorzea, perhaps its confidence. Aulbiene is a rather sly and snarky woman, only keeping people close to her if she sees some sort of benefit. Everything she does has a motive behind it. She wears many faces to obtain whatever it is she seeks. She may seem like a caring woman one day, but her true-self may surface the next. She isn't a very trustworthy woman. ------------------------------- With both characters, I'm looking for just about anything. Friends, enemies, contacts. However, with Marigold, I think I'm looking for friends mainly considering she has enough enemies already. ^^; I like story-driven, combat and one-shot (QS) RP, but I do hope to get quite a few plots going with both characters. Now a little bit more about myself. I live on the East Coast, a student with a part-time job. This means I'm fairly busy most of the year with the times that I'm in-game varying. USUALLY, during the weekdays, I'll be on at 9:30pm-midnight (unless I don't have to work that day). With that in mind, I am very open to forum RP! I DO NOT have a skype! I hate skype and I use Discord instead. If you want to RP on there, that's fine too, just let me know and I'll give you my discord info! Can't wait to RP with you guys soon!

Welcome to the RPC! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

8/29/16 Update! Main Post Edits: - Combat System Inside the FC: - After getting information from a previous contact, Limitless Reliquary was tasked with retrieving two relics. With the help of Marigold, they were able to take one of the thieves down and obtain one of the relics, however, the other thief got away with the second relic. As of right now, they are unsure as to what this relic does and hope to be able to figure out once they uncover the 2nd one. - We have a new event coming up which will continue the current arc If you want to be apart of the relic hunters adventures, then don't be shy and submit an application!

All of these characters are very interesting and could very easily mesh is some sort of way with my two characters, Aulbiene and Marigold. We're in the same timezone so that helps too

I got Marigold some new, snazzy armor! Marigold and Waylon. At Urth's Gift.

Kudos to Bishido! Kanako's relationship with Feine was really unique and surprising! They became the closest of friends and fought until the end and the way everything happened just felt so natural and the storytelling you brought with it just made the moments all the better. It is thanks to their relationship that she has grown so much as a character, for better and worse. She is able to start a new life as Marigold and has been given a stronger purpose because of him, even though the two aren't really friends anymore. I think one of the best scenes these two had was their goodbye. Once again did you bring amazing para-RP posts to the scene and it just made it an even more powerful of a scene. Even after their goodbye, you already have so much planned for them. Kudos and thank you, Bishido!

Entry 3 - The way of the Bow: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - I wandered through Western Highlands rather aimlessly and desperate to keep warm. My daggers were no longer useful for hunting, I couldn't move as freely as I wished. When it came time to hunt, I found a bowman striking down a bear with ease. At one point I almost thought he was going to shoot an arrow at me the way he had it pointed. Though I am thankful that he found me, for he saw my state of hunger and offered to share the hunted prey with me. We started up a campfire and gave my chocobo time to rest near the warm fire. It was while we prepared the meat that I had asked him about his skills and eventually convinced him to teach me. In return, I must help him kill the biggest game at all - Behemoth. We are unsure when he will show his face but one thing we know for sure is that we'll be there when the time comes. Everysun on the way back to civilization, he would teach me techniques with the bow and explain how to properly string a bow and make a makeshift bow if I am ever desperate and in need of a quick weapon. I have him to thank for my improvements with the bow and I understand now why Mamiko Moonweaver seemed to be so fond with the way of the bow. As I reach Ishgard, I have realized just how long of a journey it was, but it was well worth. I have a teacher to teach me the way of the bow and a new purpose. I wont let my skills and purpose go to waste, not like last time and never again. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - OOC Note: These entries are obviously days apart, i'm just trying to catch-up on all of them until I finally reach present events.

Entry 2 - The Wicked and The Innocent: - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - From Tailfeather to Ul'dah, the journey back is rather dull. The only thing I have with me is the clothes on my back, a chocobo, and two daggers. The further I go, the more my hunter instincts grow. It'll get to a point where I can easy track and hunt my prey from afar, this will become very useful when it comes to hunting the wicked. The wicked. I've had much time to think about exactly what I'll do with this new life given to me, how I will make a change for the good of Hydaelyn. I will take the risks that the Grand Companies wont in order to put the wicked in their place. Slavers, murderers, manipulators - none will be safe. I'll take them down one by one to keep the innocents safe, so they don't have to go through the same pain as I did. I wont lose my way. I realize that there will be much blood on my hands, but it's okay. I'm doing it to save the many, so no matter how much is spilled, it'll all be for the greater good. No matter what people tell me my mind wont change and they wont manipulate me to try to make me lose my way. I will do what is right. The enemies I will make will be more then the friends I make, but that's okay. I'm okay with not having many friends to support me and be by my side, I don't want them there to begin with. It was because Kanako had too many friends that she brought them great pain and sorrow. If I keep them at a distance, I wont make the same mistakes. As I rest by the warm campfire tonight, it gives me time to reflect and truly figure out what I am going to do. I understand that I still look similar to her, but I just have to deny the claims. I will make sure that the people she was close to will learn to let go and face the facts that she is truly gone - I wont give them any other choice.

Entry I - Rebirth: - - - - - - - - - - - - - I should be dead. I remember that night perfectly, the seeing pain flowing through my body as the corruption spread - I knew that it inevitable and I even accepted it. I made the decision to call one of my closest friends, to tell him goodbye. I did just that but as we talked, the more I realized I wasn't ready to die and the more desperate I became to figure out how he could save me. It wasn't him though, Feine never even made it to my side that night. I remember seeing a man, a Raen, just like me. After that, I feel unconscious. I still don't know how many suns I always out, but long enough to see myself changed. When I woke up, I was laying in grass under a tree. It was a rather rude awakening considering it was none other than Feine who found me. He isn't the person I remember. After he left, I went to find civilization and I was quick to find it at a place called Tailfeather. My red pendant, given to me by Waylon, was gone and replaced with a blue one. When I tried to take it off, it wouldn't budge. I'm unsure why it's there, but if it isn't hurting me, I suppose I wont bother to try to find other means to remove it. I saw my reflection in the stream and what I saw was a woman I couldn't truly identify. She had light orange hair and eyes that would truly remind one of fire. If I couldn't even see it as me, then perhaps it really wasn't. Kanako Moonweaver died in Southern Thanalan, alone and in great pain. No one will ever find her body. With her dead and past buried, Marigold will fill the void she left behind and will help bring change for the good of Hydaelyn.
