Pre afternoon catnap Hachi.

*holds up 10/10 sign*

Hachi Hachi isn't afraid to approach anybody, regardless of gender. For the most part, she sees people as equals, but tends to give females more credit for intelligence and other small advantages. Of course, this is due to some of her early childhood amongst her traditional Keeper family. Hachi has been removed from the traditional Keeper way of life long enough now to have let go of any extreme values regarding female superiority. This being said, she is most comfortable and quick to befriend females, and respect is always shown to females who she considers 'elder'. Hachi is a little slower to warm up to the opposite gender, and is known to sometimes doubt their capabilities in comparison to her own. She has less patience for males and becomes easily agitated when her buttons are pushed. However, beneath her bravado Hachi really doesn't understand the male gender at all, and many of her more aggressive antics are simply in place to cover up her own uncertainty and apprehensiveness. Hachi is generally this way with all males from any race, but maybe most noticeably so with her own. Trysten Skyborn He's a player. Trysten knows he is good looking and his confident attitude shows it. He's not afraid to talk to females, in fact, he's quite smooth. While Trysten is the type to flee commitment, it's not because he sees females in a negative light. In fact, Trysten is the type of male who would never hit a female- even if she meant to cause him harm. He has a strong sense of chivalry when it comes to the fairer gender- but it doesn't make him any less of a floozy. Trysten gets along with males well enough, but loves to start fights. He'll usually deliberately provoke some kind of aggressive reaction from other males around his age and size.

She currently resides in Limsa Lominsa. She is never short on energy or words, which can make her a real handful. However, despite the energy Hachi demands of those who cross her path, she is a fiercely loyal companion to the bitter end. Youthful and playful in many ways, Hachi seizes the day at 100%. Hachi is bold, curious, and energetic, which can make her quite the handful. More often than not, her curiosity guides her in whichever direction it likes and she follows completely unafraid of the unknown. This is not to say, however, that she is naive or overly trusting. In fact, Hachi prides herself on having a keen sense of a person's true nature. That being said, she is not the type to hold back for courtesy's sake. She says things as they are, and takes what others say at face value as well. Hidden meanings and reading between the lines are not Hachi's forte. Though she is relatively straight forward in both her speech and behavior, she is a notorious trickster to those she is close to. While to some her practical jokes and pestering may be bothersome, it is Hachi's way of showing affection. Although she may pretend to be upset by pranks thrown back at her, she truly enjoys it. A prank-war is the ultimate challenge for Hachi, and she never backs down from a challenge. Beneath her excitable exterior Hachi is a very loyal friend who forms bonds quickly with those she likes. Though she may put forward a fiery facade to those she is unfamiliar with, she is extremely sensitive to the mood of her companions. Hachi is the type to never turn her back on someone important to her, and she will go out of her way to improve their sour mood. Her compassionate side is one that will sometimes peek through when she thinks no one is watching. [color=#1E90FF][u][b]Meta Profile[/b][/u][/color] Like Hachi, I love to meet and interact with new people and form lasting friendships. You can either whisper me in game if you have any questions about Hachi, or want to set something up- or just walk straight up and engage me in rp! I can have Hachi jump IC at just about anytime.

What is Sweetfx? I just use maxed graphics and PS for resize/crop and color correction. I am curious about this Sweetfx now.. hmm..

So many sweet screenies, I had to go take some too. Hachi doing what Hachi does best. Splashing around. Hachi just hanging out at home.

I had the day off from the Deathstar, so I decided to dress up for halloween.

Cooking people are great people. =3 Without them... I would starve.

I -wish- I could make an animated series! I'm glad you guys like the lighting. I tried something a little new, I usually don't back light, so it was a fun test =) Lots of gradient coloring that I'm not super used to. As for commissions, I don't take commissions because I only draw when I have time, and with release coming up so quick... My time is already stretched pretty thin, so I'd let people down, and that's not bueno. But! I have a history of drawing characters randomly when I rp with them, so maybe we'll see each other around in game!

Thank you all! I kind of turned into a slow poke, but I just finished one of Khy'zen.

k9IkmZLFkFw Epic every time I watch it. Favorite song. Favorite game.

I did a villainous Bizzarro Hachi... Meet her diabolical alter ego...

Whaaaaatttt the.... This is amazing. You have serious skills. Your stuff is what I drool over on Pinterest.

I love it. You rock that fashion. I'm a gyaru, but honestly, it's a lot of work, lol! Kudos to you for going that extra mile. It takes me a long time to get ready to go out and do much of anything, I can't imagine your prep time.

@ Kiyone- You look like one of the cast members from Pitch Perfect! Here's me. Skyborn got me this awesome shirt, and it's my favorite article of clothing now. FFVIII represent!! I even had some deuces up.

Thanks guys =) I'll be working as hard as I can to pump out a few more before launch, so wish me luck! * straps jet packs to hands, because logically this will help drawing speed*

This isn't actually finger painting, so I apologize if you have been misled. It's really just some random coalescence of SAI and PSCS5, and my Livestream with Khy'zen coaching my coloring. ( so thank you Khy) I'll add more FFXIV art as I produce it. Basically, I have a month to pump out as much as I can, because once the game goes live... *zip cloud* So, ladies and gentlemen, Hachi Ten'ahn.

* hi-five* Sup dawg?

Hachi is such a combination of so many different personality traits, but these are the three primary fictional characters that I think Hachi draws from.

From one ex-lurker to another, welcome. And from one Keeper of the Moon player to another, Keeper pride~ =P

@ Nova- Griever was tough, but I knew once her face went missing things got real o_o. How about we do this, you can handle the questions about the meaning of life and I'll handle math questions. @ Xenedra - Thank you again, by the way. I had a lot of fun in there =) But officially, nice to meet you too. @ Melle- Thank you. Making signatures is actually not my forte, so I think I got lucky and found a design that worked. The idea just came to me, so maybe the signature gods decided it was fate. =3 @ Kari and Barios- Hopefully I'll get a chance to see you around the board and in game, thank you for being so welcoming.

I actually never make intro threads because I am terrible at them. I never know what to say, and so I just sort of lurk and read. But! This time, I'm trying, haha. So bear with me as I use song lyrics as a topic title. I have been lurking a while here, but I finally got my act together and put some work into a character wiki and even a signature. =3 But from my lurking I can say one thing: This community is awesome. I can't go on enough about how interesting a lot of these threads are and how connected the community seems to each other. I love it. As for myself, I've played a few mmos, namely Perfect World, Aion, GW 1&2, SWOTR, TSW, and now Final Fantasy XIV. However, I have been playing console rpgs since before I could call myself a teenager. In fact, my first RPG was Final Fantasy VIII which to this day is still my favorite game. Outside of RPGs and mmos, I'm pretty beastly at Puzzle Fighter Turbo- so if you want to go there... As far as my role playing experiences go, I was primarily a forum rper until I started playing MMOs with a few chuckle-heads I'm here with =P. But, I've found that I truly enjoy it. In fact it's all I really did after I got my toons to 80 in Gw2. That being said, I am down to RP or PvE pretty much whenever. I'm not sure if PvP plays a large part in FFXIV... but that is a whole different kind of monster in me that Aion bred. Anyway, that was way more long winded than I wanted it to be. It's nice to officially join the forum and get myself situated. I'm looking forward to properly meeting a lot of you, and I hope we can establish some good long lasting friendships. =)

Sorry, Ky, I advertised about the Skyborns in FFXIV... >_>

* sprinkles confetti for effect*

Here is Hachi Ten'ahn, my Keeper of the Moon.
