Reliquarian's Guild «Relic»
Kazukata replied to Lydia Lightfoot's topic in (Antiquated) Free Company Hall
I'm Kazukata Go, and this is my favorite guild in Eorzea. On a more serious note, though, Lydia's a great rper with a really cool idea. I'm already planning on showing my face around here as a member, and would love to see this get off the ground! -
discussion How would you retire your character
Kazukata replied to Desu Nee's topic in RP Discussion
Kazu's probably going to be adventuring until he's too old to safely pick up a glaive, which leaves his two options as death or retirement. I don't have any specific plans to give him an untimely demiwe, but it's not like it's out of the question in his line of work. If he makes it to retirement, though, I see him becoming a storyteller and chronicler of fables that's always foisting unsolicited advice to young adventurers. That's the clearest image I have for him, so I suppose it's also the most likely. -
If SE was to designate an RP server, would you move?
Kazukata replied to ExAtomos's topic in RP Discussion
Official rp tag or not, there's one thing and one thing only that would figure into my decision to move: where my contacts are. At first, I figured that would make my answer a hard "no," because my contacts spread across multiple FCs and communities, and there's no way they would all collectively agree to move. However, I'm a little surprised by just how many people are voicing support for the idea. One other thing that has struck me is also the discussion about the sheer size of the rp population, and after reading through a lot of the comments, I'm of the mind that multiple servers may not be a bad idea so long as we all continue to remain interconnected by outside functions such as the RPC. I probably won't be the one to do it, because I'm perfectly content, even ecstatic, with my current rp experience, but I can see the pros to such a plan. Obviously, if the server stays locked indefinitely, then the community will be forced to pick up roots sooner or later lest it atrophy. However, I'm right now taking a wait and see approach. Obviously, new people can't come in, and yes, they need somewhere to put roots. I think with the rate of new people coming in, we may well already be making a second community. I personally view servers like Mateus as a holding pen of sorts, but if the situation goes on long enough, I don't see why it couldn't naturally cement into its own community. And after a lot of what I've read, I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing. I personally think an rp tag is irrelevant, but the more interesting argument that's arisen about whether to split the community or not has given me a lot of food for thought. This post ended up a lot more stream of consciousness than expected, but yeah, those are basically my thoughts on the subject. -
balmung Looking for long term RP connections
Kazukata replied to Swanmay's topic in Chronicled Connections
One aspect of Rosalie that popped out at me was her desire to explore the unknown, particularly the bit where she's "not afraid to delve into the deepest depths." Considering that fits the fc I'm in to a t, I thought I'd do a brief plug for them. I have no idea if you're looking for a fc or not, but here goes: Azeyma's Oath is a band of artifact hunters that plumb the depths of ancient ruins such as Amdapor and Gelmorra. They brave the ruins for any treasure left behind, study any artifacts they find, use/sell the good ones, and lock the potentially dangerous ones away from the reach of those that might covet them. We're taking all comers, but we have a particular interest in intellectuals who would want to study the artifacts. The fact that Rosalie wouldn't be afraid to roll up her sleeves and go on an expedition would be a plus, as well. It's also worth noting that the fc has a large number of Domans in it, and we're looking to go back to Doma in SB. We've also got a few EU players and strive to make sure all our events are EU friendly, so there's that, too. If any of that sounds interesting, feel free to check out the fc's page (link in the signature). On a more personal note, there's Kazukata. I don't see anything in particular that would draw Kazu to socialize with Rosalie, but you don't necessarily need something in common to strike up a conversation, and there's also the Doman connection. If he sounds like an interesting character (and you can read up on him in his wiki, also in my signature), then we can see where they go. -
balmung Doman ex-noble & bookkeeper seeking connections
Kazukata replied to Deneve's topic in Chronicled Connections
Oooh, I'm defintely interested after reading. Two refugees old enough to remember the days before the invasion, and yet still have been strongly shaped by the war. They have a lot in common despite having such different upbringings in their country! Higan's admittedly a bit more reserved about discussing the fine details of her background (she feels a bit guilty due to her family even if she's still proud of them), but the mention of Kazukata's participation within the war would probably get her to open up pretty quickly. Do let me know if you stop by one of the events, or would ever like to swing by while I'm on. Sounds great! Kazukata's in the same boat where he doesn't really talk a whole lot about parts of his private life back in Doma, but considering how similar the two's experiences are, he'd likely be much more willing to open up about it. Shoot me a friend request sometime when you're online, or hit me up on Discord at Cinnamon#0200. -
balmung Doman ex-noble & bookkeeper seeking connections
Kazukata replied to Deneve's topic in Chronicled Connections
Doman? Old and sad about their past? Widowed? Likes to drink it away occasionally!? Man, you just got Kazukata bingo! Kazukata's a veteran of both wars against the Garleans and lived as a hunter out in the country between them. He also married while out in the country, but when he signed up for the revolt, it nearly destroyed his marriage. Then Doma burned down before he could get a chance to try and mend the situation. Kazu's a war veteran, so it wouldn't be out of the ordinary for him to recognize the Koutate family name, but he probably wouldn't know Higanbana personally. Even so, it certainly sounds like they have plenty to talk about. Check out his wiki in the signature below if any of that sounds interesting. That said, if you're sticking with Wayfarer's, you're bound to run into me sometime, since I swing by there semi-regularly. -
balmung Looking for connections!
Kazukata replied to Asuka Sakamoto's topic in Chronicled Connections
Nice to see another person using the Doman/Garlean wars as a backdrop to their backstory. As a veteran of both wars, Kazu could have potentially crossed paths with Asuka's father, or perhaps even her grandfather if he was involved in the initial invasion, though Kazu served in the rank and file as a footsoldier. It could be an interesting dynamic, perhaps even shed some light on the father's ultimate fate in Doma, if that was a direction you wanted to go in. If you see any potential there, check out his wiki in my signature. Kazu usually only ends up in Ul'dah on business, but he could still run into Asuka easily enough, particularly if she starts hanging around Deah. If you're interested, shoot me a pm and we can figure out if we wanted to make any backstory connections/how to make these two meet. -
Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) for your character-Just for Fun
Kazukata replied to Lady Whiteraven's topic in Fun Prompts
Kazukata ended up with one that fits him decently well: ESFJ (The Consul). The intro blurb focuses on high school cheerleader/quarterback-esque popularity to a groan-worthy degree, but I suppose it makes sense that I would get impatient with all that, seeing as I'm a different MBTI personally (INFP). Also kind of funny how random character traits I just kind of handed to him without much thought (he's a busybody that's always eager to foist his viewpoint on others, his insistence on never even trying to learn magic with the assumption he'd be terrible at it despite there being no real evidence to support his opinion) seem to fall under the same personality type. I do like the quote, though, since it fits Kazu well, even if it's a little cosmic for my personal tastes: "Encourage, lift and strengthen one another. For the positive energy spread to one will be felt by us all." -Deborah Day -
Ben is a cool dude that comes highly recommended. 10/10, will definitely be playing live TV audience to gasp on cue.

balmung Looking for helping hands in Gridania!
Kazukata replied to Lucyfer Loire's topic in Chronicled Connections
This sounds interesting, and I'm all for a stronger Gridanian community! Unfortunately, I don't have much time of my own to reel other people into this as will likely end up being necessary, but I can volunteer Kazu for this list and some rp. -
I'm not currently playing a performer, but seeing as I may bring my pve bard over one day, this is still something I'd be interested in.

balmung Miqo'te Widow Attempts to "Get Out" More
Kazukata replied to Shona's topic in Chronicled Connections
Kazukata is still clinging to his dead wife and probably never letting go, so I can't offer much in the way of romance, but as a fellow widower, there's plenty of room for companionship as the two support each other in their shared misery. Check out his wiki below, see if there's something there that interests you. -
Hey, do you have a few details or plot hooks about your character? No need to go through their whole backstory if you want to keep that under wraps, but what do they usually do for a job/hobbies? What are their aspirations? What's their shtick?

balmung Doman Raen Ronin seeking connections.
Kazukata replied to Juromaro's topic in Chronicled Connections
What's that? Looking for an archaeology/Doman military themed fc? Well, then you should check out Azeyma's Oath (link in my signature)! We're a band of treasure hunters that delve into ruins looking for artifacts, study the good ones, and make sure the potentially bad ones never see the light of day again. We focus mostly on the archaeology side, but we're also lightly Doman themed and will probably move the fc to Doma once Stormblood comes out. There's also my own character, Kazukata, who's a Doman ex-footsoldier that also ended up in Yugiri's refugee group. He ended up on the ship after being put in critical condition a few days prior, thus getting him a ticket to safety with the civilians. He was largely despondent during that time and probably not a great conversation partner, but it's conceivable that Celyaena could know him from there. -
Having a character "consigned" to the Aetherial Sea sounds cool as shit. Would also go a long way to explain why they're magically cast back there whenever the trigger happens. "Aether" is used as an explanation to handwave so much crazy, wonky stuff that I could see it working well here, too. It also would work the same as being dead, since when you die, you basically disperse and return to the Aetherial flow reincarnation style from what I remember. Actually staying a physical being in the flow is the hard part.
