So I read a few posts on this thread and I had no idea there's actually people who WANT to volunteer to be a legit and strong tie/part of a character's family! That really sounds like fun, considering that now that I've been developing Emiiresa's story more as well as Lydahn's(my second main)and Ellerierre's(my third main), I realize I'm not going to be able to play (even less so create) each and every character involved in their stories. If I could I likely would, but that would be way too tedious, plus I'm limited to 8, haha. It's hard enough keeping track of 4-5 different characters and their stories. Which brings me to the reason for this post!
Since reading a certain post on here, I decided I would post a similar post asking for those who would be interested at all in playing as a relative or even a close friend or companion in one of my character's stories. I think the experience would make for much needed motivation for one thing, plus I think something like that would be fun, and it would be a way to meet other RPers who need or want an idea for their character, or to make one!
Emiiresa, to start, now has a pretty big family tree size due to some discoveries, and 3 of her most recent relatives happen to still be alive, one she is still looking for, but still contemplating on whether that one should be alive. As for the other two, they are both still very much alive, and are considered to be Emiiresa's grandparents on her mother's side. Not sure how many there are out there that are okay with playing an older couple with a lalafellin granddaughter though, lol. That said, Emiiresa's race is pretty diverse for a lalafell, so she's often called a "mutt" of sorts by those in Ul'dah. She herself is half Dunesfolk, part Plainsfolk, and part Ala Mhigan. Her Dunesfolk side comes from her father, while her Plainsfolk and Ala Mhigan side come from her mother. Her mother is half-dominant Plainsfolk and half Ala Mhigan. HER mother is full Plainsfolk, while her father is half Ala Mhigan and half Hellsguard, though that gene does not carry over into the family. On her mother's side, Emiiresa's grandmother's name is Yhukubi Kubi, while her grandfather's name is Agetharus Ironfist. I have Emiiresa's family tree developed over two more generations after them, so there's plenty of room for those who want to participate. Also, since her family is so diverse, how you create their lives and story is up to you, though I will give you the base of Agetharus and Yhukubi in a PM should you want to volunteer. ^^ Her story has now led her into Camp Overlook since she now endeavors to learn and soon master the rest of her Alchemy, so she still won't touch base with the Ala Mhigans as of yet.
Meanwhile, Lydahn Falahann(my second main which is a Roegadyn), other than her PC companions, found out awhile ago that her retainer is actually a friend of the family, and once served under her late mother as an assistant/maid. This part can be playable for those interested. Due to a volunteer wanting to be part of Lyda's story, however, Lydahn may or may not have a sibling or close relative. If you want her father to be alive you'll have to convince me; I currently have him pegged as dead, though there is open possibility for him still being alive, should you have a convincing means. Lydahn's family consists of many generations of the Warrior, with the exception of her mother's family, which is a family of Hellsguard that is experienced with magic, however the expertise does not carry into Lydahn's abilities and thus, is no good at magic. Lydahn's dominant race however, which is Hellsgaurd, is tied more with mother's. Lydahn, much like her father and his father and beyond, is born with a gem called the "Dragonheart," a fragment of corrupted energy/aether said to be a fragment of Bahamut's own power. This phenomenon started long ago in the family line, but with Lydahn's grandfather, he learned to seal it away entirely (which I will explain if you're interested), locking it away from further use or growth. Her father, on the other hand, decided it best to tap into its power and learn to control and master it in order to gain immeasurable power as a Warrior. However, using the Dragonheart poses very high risks, and must not be taken lightly. It is also important to note that, as the Dragonheart passes on from one generation to the next, the gem becomes more engrained and fused with the host's body and spirit, making it harder to extract/seal away. That said, after the Calamity her father never returned from Carteneau. A body was never found, and it was eventually believed he was presumed dead. Lydahn was born a day after the Calamity, after her mother fled Limsa and Ul'dah into Coerthas. I will enlighten on details for those who are interested in this story, but those who are well-affiliated with or study dragons have full access to Dragonheart's knowledge without actually having to know Lydahn IC. =]
Ellerierre Arislaunde, my third main, an Elezen, is basically a runaway, deciding to abandon her responsibilities as the heir to not only a vast fortune in Ishgard but also a militia in which her father is still currently leading, and expects her to take control when she comes of age. Until then, however, she does not have access to her father's fortunes, and thus must make her own profits on her own until she decides to return. One thing to take of note is that Ellerierre, as well as her father, owned a personal guard whose Captains, Theolinius and Elevide Falahann, happen to still be alive in Coerthas. She also has an adopted sister she has not heard from since the executions/inquisition in Coerthas had begun (I was planning on keeping her untouched until RDM would come out, if it does come at all, which would be the reason to have her return. Otherwise, she would be an Arcanist.), in which she had believed she was "executed" along with her stepmother during the unjust Dravanian trials, her adopted sister's mother. Ellerierre's own story still progresses even without this happening, it would just be a means to continue her story further, though if anyone has a good idea for her adopted sister then I'd be glad to hear it (She is originally supposed to return having learned a new art of magic in a distant land during her absence.)! Also, Ellerierre has a passionate ambition to become a fashion designer, seeking to become a master Leatherworker as well as a Weaver, so being a student of both, to those who want to have an apprentice, whether it's in WVR, LTW, or both, I'm open for that ^^
My fourth main, Eterna Aihmstrae, is a Hyuran Midlander whose family is a long line of Paladins, known as the Aihmstrae Paladins, who have worked under the Sultanate for generations. Though it seems part of the family's own morals and sense of justice and chivalry have become a little twisted due to the recent state of Ul'dah, Eterna has remained steadfast and true to the original oaths that the family had always stood by as Paladins, and hopes to emulate the true nature of one who fights for their people, and puts their lives down for what's right, rather than what betters their own motives and those of the corrupt. His best friend is a Miqo'te by the [birth]name of Sun'kiba Tia, but is named Skiverisan Zillith by his adoptive father, who's a well-off Carpenter. Eterna also has an older brother by the name of Falchira Aihmstrae, who is almost like Eterna's opposite, but still looks out for him when they're young. When they are old enough to be on their own, Falchira disappears in search of his own path, seeking to come back with a means to change Ul'dah for the better(I don't have a character made for Falchira since the job he would be isn't out, and not sure if it will BE out, unless, like with Ellerierre's sister, you have an idea, in which we can discuss about.=] ) There was also a girl Eterna developed a small crush on when they were little named Wynn Rockwell (Have a friend occupying this role now! ^^), and in time it wound up as a competiton between Eterna and his brother on who could impress her the most. When they were little Wynn seemed to be more impressed with Falchira rather than Eterna, who seemed to always be in his brother's shadow at the time. Eterna has not seen Wynn since then, until recently that is, when Eterna was sent by his father to venture out from Ul'dah to explore Eorzea, much to Eterna's dissatisfaction, and Wynn happened to catch sight of him just before leaving. Together they traveled to Limsa Lominsa, where Eterna has his first view of the outside world. For the time being he has remained in Limsa Lominsa since his recent revisit to Ul'dah, having learned of a rumor that Falchira was in Ul'dah for a time. Wynn and Eterna also had an argument which has left the two estranged since. To those still interested in Eterna's story, I have added 3-4 more spots in his flashback/backstory, all of which are during a time in which Eterna and Wynn were escaping from a bad situation near the Chamber of Rule, though none tied to his family. Just let me know if you're interested and I'll fill you in on the details! ^^
Finally, my 5th main, Sun'kiba Tia (pronounced "Soon-Keebuh")/Skiverisan Zillith, or just "Skiver," as he nicknames himself, is a Miqo'te who was born in the deserts of Thanalan, but grew up in Ul'dah and, together with N'eimanu Achuuk, was raised by a traveling Carpenter from Gridania. They were raised to consider each other siblings, but they are not directly related by blood. While Sun'kiba prefers to lead a solitary lifestyle away from his roots, N'eimanu is more family-oriented, and wants to do everything she can to restore her tribe's honor and pride, as she later learns of what's become of the new tribe created from her and Sun'kiba's elders. I have N'eimanu in Hyperion, but considering everything above, I will likely not have room to put her in Balmung with everyone else, so the position for N'eimanu is open ^^. Growing up with his adoptive father, Sun'kiba grew to like the wandering lifestyle, and with his father's fisherman and Carpenter lifestyle, he grew to love it even more than the life he left behind before meeting him. His adoptive father is still very much alive, and currently lives in Limsa Lominsa, where he spends his days as a fisherman and Carpenter by trade, so far doing well [enough] for himself. This position is also open for grabs. However he MUST be a Hyur Midlander. His last name is Zillith but the first name is up to you =] . It looks like THF/NIN is coming to XIV fairly soon, so I'll be playing this char in the near future! If anyone is interested in this storyline let me know!
But yeah, if any of these 5 storylines interests you in anyway, let me know and we can set something up! Also, due to some recent developments in Lydahn and Emiiresa's story, my LS "ouRPlayground" may be going officially IC soon, though receiving the linkpearl can only be achieved if you have good standing with Emiiresa as an associate or seeker of the magic arts. Just in case, however, I DO have an OOC LS alternate called "ouRPardon," if you are still contemplating about it. The link in my signature will point you to a little bit of Emiiresa's background as well as story. The others I do not have in written form, but I'll be more than happy to elaborate in a PM if you're interested! I will be putting Lydahn's story in a wiki in the near future, however, so eventually Lydahn's story will be up for full access as well!
