...Wow. It really is the season for giving! G'luck everyone and thanks as always, RiniKett!

Hm... Khaz hasn't been drunk yet, but I'm sure it's coming. I imagine he'd be pretty mean. Always looking for some sort of fight or conflict, and maybe behave a bit more feral/cat-like in some respects. Hissy and growly, and just all sorts of moody tail swaying. Feine is incapable of getting drunk. Being an ashkin and all. Prior to his undeath, he handled his drink well enough. He was a little giddy/giggly though. Most things were really funny to him.

On the phone until later tonight, but if you've still got some availability I'd love to commission you! I can e-mail references tonight if so!

What an awesome idea and lovely description all around. I'm on the phone right now but I'll be sending you a PM when I get on the computer! Either way I wish you the best of luck and welcome back to XIV!

As always, thank you for the generosity and good luck to everyone! 1. Tier 4 Aquarium 2. Shaggy Shoat 3. Ramie Poncho

Oooh boy! This really does depend on who would be so bold as to peck Feine on the cheek and which Feine they’re smooching, but either way he’s probably not amused. Gotta love all the complications of alter-egos. The White Wolf A few ilms were reclaimed with a backward step, blindfolded visage averted and downcast. Several fingertips were lofted to gently trace the residual memory of that unexpected kiss, rendered inert and pensive by it. The Wolf stood quietly for a time—as though the gesture had instead violently struck him and at last a lean jaw clenched, but what anger may have followed was tellingly swallowed. “...If you’ll excuse me.” Brief was the bow performed before he turned without another word and departed. The Pale Reaper It came unexpectedly. A blossom of warmth upon a cheek that permeated an unnatural albeit subtle frost—and without preamble his form dissipated. Whisked away by vaporous tendrils that deposited the Reaper several fulms away. There he stood, nonplussed and wide-eyed... until composure found him once more. “...You didn’t really think that one through, did you?” An unkind question fled smarmy lips that curled with the beginnings of a vicious smile.

Eleni is a gorgeous name and she’s one of the more beautiful characters I’ve seen.

I know the feeling of taking an extended hiatus from something you enjoy doing, and wanting to rebuild that confidence you once had. That you're actually taking the first step and putting the effort into this is really great, and I definitely wish you the best. [align=center]Here's a more recent photo of Feine, should you decide to sketch him! And just a slightly different angle/better shot of his ink: [/align]

You’re not afraid to experiment with concepts seen in other FF titles and apply them here in Eorzea—that’s something I’ll always commend! Especially if it’s done rather seamlessly. Plus, Lami’s a cute Lala.

It just makes for a more diversified RP world! Your "Shroud" character already sounds like they'd be rather interesting and I can only imagine what they'd interact like with (non-animal) others! I really do appreciate your kind words and willingness to accommodate my odd little ashkin! I'll definitely be contacting you sometime in the (hopefully near) future, and see if there'd be a good time for both parties to meet up in some way. Happy writing!

I generally miss out on these sorta social gatherings but they always sound like fun! I get the impression it'd be especially the case with this LS, since everyone here seems so chill and welcoming. I wish everyone good luck and hope you guys enjoy! Maybe one day I'll be able to bring Feine on over, but he's usually neck-deep in some sorta plotty thing and never has been very social. ...Given recent events he's less inclined to just waltz into a gathering of people. #zombieprobs

Feine is loyal to a fault when it comes to friends and family—but those are far and few between. He usually tries to keep a healthy distance from people for many reasons, but there are some (*CoughKanakoCough*) that manage to get by his defenses. He’d lay his life down for someone he trusted and cared for, and already has. In an odd way he’s so loyal that he’d tear the friendship apart if it meant keeping them safe, and happier.

As others before me have already said, it's going to take some time and practice to adjust. Though I'm sure once you're comfortable transitioning between "traditional" art and digital will be a breeze for you. From what I've already seen (using Aya's picture as an example) you're already well on your way! P.S. Lmao @ Feine's mug. That grumpy face is perfect, thank you!

I should take a page from your book and dust off my tablet, too. I never motivated myself enough to actually practice on it but it's awesome that you're willing to do it and include the community at the same time. I'll drop a screenshot of Feine in case you find him interesting enough to sketch. In the meantime, I'd love to learn more about your character and your preferred method for RP (RPC, in-game, Skype, etc.) and what sorta RP connections you might be looking for? [align=center]Feine[/align] [align=center][/align] Also! If you'd rather sketch something a bit silly, you'd be more than welcome to give a go at the bandana he often wears over his mouth/nose. It's black with a fanged "Cheshire" grin embroided on it.

• When deep in thought or restless, Feine tends to turn his ring of matrimony around his finger. • He'll oftentimes comb his fingers through his hair, usually away from his face, when frustrated. • ...Despite craving brains for dinner he also likes to consume beating hearts. Just 'cause. (*Cringe*)

Unless something comes up (which I don't see happening at this point) I should definitely be able to make it on Tuesday with you guys. Kiyoko Tatsuyama is my husband and he's also interested in coming with us as a SMN!

I always look forward to the 24-man raids! Not exactly sure when we're getting patch 3.3 but hopefully my schedule doesn't change much by then! Character Name Xeiz Feine Class(es) MCH, BRD, NIN or AST. Availability 10pm-6am MST. Tue/Wed. Although with enough of a heads up I can probably be more flexible!

What a lovely post and wiki you've made for X'vaan! Like you, I've been RPing for a while but tend to be a bit more shy when it comes to approaching someone else. Though from what I've gathered so far, you seem like an easygoing person to hang out with and your writing feels just as comfortable to read. I also keep odd hours and do enjoy my OOC banter in-between posts, but like you, I also like to run some content on the game. Especially on those days when you might need a short breather from the writing. X'vaan seems like an interesting character and his former ties to both the Lynx and the Sagolii really does make me wonder if we might be able to come up with a scenario for our boys to meet, should you be interested! At present I only have one of my two characters available for RP and that's Khaz, who is native and currently in Thanalan/the Sagolii but makes frequent trips around the city of Ul'dah. He's sheltered and still very curious about the world beyond his reclusive tribe, and hasn't had much of an opportunity to meet many others outside of his familial circle. Feine is the one that's unavailable and usually a bit tougher to socialize with other characters, but both of their wikis are linked in my signature if you'd like to take a peek and see if either of them are characters you'd care to have X'vaan meet sometime! Right now I'm doing most of my RPing on Skype or via PM here on RPC, but let me know if you have a particular preference! I definitely wish you the best of luck and hope you have fun out there! Happy writing!

Bump! Updated stuff and things!

Naaagiiii! It’s my turn to say something nice about you! You’re a very sensible and open-minded writer, and your willingness to immerse yourself and characters in storytelling is awesome. I know I’ve said it before but I feel it can’t be said enough; you’re a really great writer and fun RPer and anyone who hasn’t hung out with you really needs to.

I'd be more than happy to help wherever I can as a healer or DPS! I do keep some really odd in-game hours and am generally more available late at night (I'm MST) but that just means I'll be about for anyone pullin' all-nighters!
