That sounds fantastic! Definitely the sort of vibe I was looking for, something outside of the norm for him. I'm sure he'd love to makes friends with a reliable smithy. Or, you know. Friends, period. Absolutely! It'd be great to meet the two of you. I'll be in touch once I get a hold of a few others. Thank you for your interest!

Oh, I meant that in the literal sense, haha! As in some one who doesn't get their hands dirty with adventuring and what not. Merchants and the like. Civilian trades. No shady business here. He's a pure cinnamon roll. But absolutely! I'll be in touch soon.

Haven't had a chance to meet up with everyone that responded yet, with my schedule being as weird as it is. That being said, I'm definitely still actively looking for some new acquaintances and circles! My weekends are pretty much open now, so it should be a bit easier to find times that work. I've really been itching for some more connections with characters that aren't adventurers/mercenaries. Something to give a bit of a contrast to my own character, to experience something a bit more "slice of life", I suppose. Some one to work for instead of with, for example. Or just friends on the other side of the fence who prefer to not get their hands too dirty.

Thank you, you two! (And everyone who DM'd) I'll do my best to be in touch soon. I'm looking forward to it. As a side note, I tagged my Discord ID in the original post, since I know a lot of people use that these days to get in touch with each other. Feel free to poke me there as well!

Hello! I suppose I don't really have much to tag here. I usually keep busy while in-game doing everything but roleplaying, but I've been itching to get the gears turning for some storytelling as of late. I tend to shy away from putting myself out there, however, and as such haven't really made many connections. So, here's to hoping this might spark a little something! My character is open-ended enough to feasibly get involved in a variety of character types - from merchants, to adventurers like himself. I'm preferably looking for something light and casual, as I don't quite have the time to get into anything too serious right this moment. I figure I'll just leave my character's wiki here, and you can take a glance over it. If you're interested in sparking something up, feel free to get in touch either here on the RPC (Through the thread, or DMs), or over on Discord @ Sylve#8278!

1.0 player checking in! Might not have everything 100% accurate here, but I'm going off memory alone right now. Bahamut ravaged most of Eorzea, if not all of it. People from all over the country definitely would have had a chance to see him, as the opening cinematic made abundantly clear. The chances of them knowing right then and there who he was is likely very slim, given that knowledge of what Dalamud contained was really only in the hands of a select few. That being said, people certainly knew of Bahamut, as there were NPCs that referenced him in 1.0. ("By Bahamut's Fang!" was a thing) Word likely could have spread after the fact, though, and that would be that. What people aren't supposed to know is what happened to Bahamut after the fact. All the public knows is that he destroyed everything, and then simply vanished, never to be seen again. That is literally the end of the story, canonically, unless you play your character as the Warrior of Light and were the one who stopped his resurrection in ARR. As far as the original Warriors of Light go, there's a pretty big discrepancy between them and the Warrior of Light. The Warriors of Light were present on the Carteneau Flats, and were a whole mess of adventurers who agreed to protect Archon Louisoix. Not all of these people were the Warrior of Light (The main character of 1.0, and subsequently of 2.0 and beyond), however all of them have been forgotten by most as of the calamity. As has been mentioned, anyone who tries to remember them only can recall a figure shrouded in light. They've been dubbed the "Twelvesblades" by the community, as far as I know. (I don't ever recall seeing them referenced this way in an official manner, unless it was offhand by Ferne in some post that I missed.) Being a Twelvesblade does not mean having been an integral part of the 1.0 storyline. It simply means that they, as an adventurer, answered Louisoix's call to arms and were present on Carteneau, as a great many people were. The Archon saved these people in particular, however, as they did not receive the orders to retreat from the battlefield, and instead remained by his side. From the perspective of the 1.0 main character, the "other" 1.0 players were these random adventurers that fought alongside them at Carteneau, but only they were the Warrior of Light in the 2.0 sense of the word. Now, as far as memory goes, I can answer this question based off the ending of the legacy player storyline in ARR. I'll tag it with spoilers just because. TL;DR Yes, you can remember the calamity. Yes, you could have seen Bahamut destroy everything. You would not have known what happened to Bahamut after he suddenly vanished, nor would you remember of any adventurer friends you may have had that were saved by Louisoix (unless you have the echo).

It's a rather small and insignificant note overall, but, the lore book did state an interesting little bit of lore that touches on this subject. It's probably just a means for them to go "We never said they couldn't" if they ever decide to add in a Garlean capable of using magic, but, it's there regardless.

I have an unhealthy obsession with screenshots. And an equally unhealthy obsession with trying to tell little stories through them. ...And just taking random shots in general.
