"Actually both my parents are retainers and my dad still smells like Rolanberries, that title makes it sound like neither of them are still around. Well they are and still working away at the grindstone. Um, not that big fight thing outside the city walls, I mean the metaphorical grindstone... well maybe a real one? I'm not sure, both of my parents have skills if a few different trades so one of them might actually know what to do with a grindstone? I wonder if they both... Crap I'm rambling.
"Okay back on topic. My name is H'nora, the "H" is silent, and I'm looking for work, but kinda not really. See, with both my parents being retainers, they take a lot of pride in their work but at the same time are very narrow-minded. My point of view towards the field of retainer work is skewed in comparison to theirs but I mean, I have to make up my own mind about things, right? Honestly I feel like retainers, as professionals, aren't given enough credit for the work they do.
"Maybe I should explain why I feel that way, in case you are still reading.
"My Dad specializes in Botany, hence the smell of berries, and my Mom is a Conjurer, like me. Often they are sent out on odd jobs during the day and it seems like they are gone just about every night and don't return until the morning. My dad braves some of the most dangerous parts of the world just to bring back herbs, lumber, or sometimes insects. My Mom, alone mind you, has trekked after Primals, flown a chocobo around perilous peaks, and slain some truly awful beasts and returned with trophies of the kills. What sort of recognition has either of my parents ever gotten? Absolutely none! And what becomes of the things returned from these journeys? Ha! Well the "Adventurer" they work for just either up and sells the stuff for gil or makes my parents store it for them, half the time forgetting about it completely!
"What kind of life is that? Well, they like it I guess and the money is good enough to live on, but they have no aspirations and worse yet, they expect me to follow in their footsteps. I just can't do it! I just can't go out into the world and slay some terrifying beast, that an adventurer needs help to kill mind you, and not even get a pat on the back for it. Call me petty or needy but when I do something worthwhile, courageous, or spectacular I need someone to say "Damn, that was fucking awesome!" Sorry for the language but its how I feel!
"So yeah I'm looking for work but I just can't be a retainer and the life of an adventurer just seems so lame. I don't know, I'll find something..."

Hey everyone! I'm looking for some friendly type people to meet, or unfriendly, or shifty... well living is the only real requirement. I just moved to Balmung after playing on other servers for a long time. Been RPing in other games as well as tabletop for a long time.
Fair warning, H'nora has some strong views about Eorzea and has no problem voicing her opinion. Also, if you can't tell, she thinks retainers should be treated with more respect!
