In Your Bag


Recommended Posts

Waves a +1 wand of game development and changes inventory space to harsh, realistic proportions. Everyone has a bag they can carry, the space in it, and that's it!

 

 

(and I suppose your chocobo can pack on some stuff too)

What do they consider essentials for survival? 

What are their keepsakes that push them forward?

How much room is there for things to collect from the wild?

What kind of things would they leave behind?

What would they discard that you currently keep?

Currently Zizirimu Yayarimu's satchel is rather small, and contains only a canteen full of spring water, an alms bowl, some linkshell pearls, and couple of small to medium sized books, journal, plum and inkwell.

 

 

There is barely any room for collecting anything from the wild. He would collect edible/healing herbs, or any rare stones.

 

 

He has no chocobo, nor Gil ; ;

 

 

He left behind many more books!

 

 

Right now I keep pretty much everything I find... which isn't too much since I am level 10 (whoo!) so yeah... he'd not have so many animal skins and such >.>

What would Xha'li carry?  

 

A canteen with water, 2-3 days of dried, non-perishable, non-appetizing rations, a journal with quill and ink to record any interesting sites and/or make notes, and a few hundred gill kept in his pocket.  He's got some space in the back to take home anything interesting he finds in his travels.  Also attached to the bag is a light lance for hunting and or emergency use.

 

No Chocobo so it can't help haul stuff.

When traveling for work, Antimony would take water and some non-perishable food of course, but more importantly the ledger assigned to whichever client she is investigating, sorting, moving or whathaveyou the assets of alongside a quill and sealed ink well. She may also carry other necessary paperwork when applicable, and occasionally a journal of her own, which is covered in attempts at theoretical equations describing aether flow and other such things (part of her hobby). Lastly she would carry enough gil to rent a room at a cheap inn should she need it.

 

She carries no family or personal mementos, as she would rather not be reminded of loss.

Ulanan would carry a jar of olives, two potions, a roll of bandages, a cup and a small metal bowl for cooking, a spoon, a few travel rations and all of her gil (she's not wealthy). Also a creepy wooden mask, because nothing freaks people more than a small lalafell looking like an anonymous psycho.

What a fun idea for a thread!! :thumbsup:

 

What... is in your character's bag?

Eva keeps a satchel with her at most times. Right at this moment (after being robbed by bandits) she only has a few things of little-to-no value kept within - a small canteen, a leather-bound journal, small silver quill, inkwell, bandaging materials and medicinal salves, a tattered mandragora plushie, and one [of a few] pouches of gil - the others being kept elsewhere on her person. She also has a few spindles of thread and a number of knitting needles, sewing needles, hoops, and various other tools of her trade. There is also the romance novel she was reading when she left. She also found two other journals in her travels which she is hanging onto for the time being. And she also is carrying a small bundle of fruit, dried beef jerky, and a half loaf of bread. There is normally also a small tea kettle and several tin cups stacked within each other as well as a sizable pouch of tea leaves, however these tea-making items have been stolen or lost since coming out of the time rift.

 

What do they consider essentials for survival?

She keeps a dagger strapped in a thigh-sheath that few know about. She had lost it at the battle in 1572 but recently acquired a replacement.

 

What are their keepsakes that push them forward?

Her journal is probably her most important possession. The volumes that came before the one she carries with her, and those from her father and ancestors are stored somewhere safe.

 

How much room is there for things to collect from the wild?

Right now, homeless, Eva considers carefully whether something is worth carrying or not since space is limited and she has no permanent place of residence to keep things.

 

How much Gil would they carry on their person?

She has a small amount of gil leftover from what she made while working in Ul'dah, and she keeps this split apart in five different locations in case she is robbed again.

 

If they have a chocobo they would haul...?

She no longer has a chocobo.

 

What kind of things would they leave behind?

While she normally would pick up most anything interesting for her collection of trinkets and baubles, the need to preserve space and not burden herself is much more apparent now so she only takes what she feels she will need. Animal skins and such may get picked up OOCly but wouldn't be in her inventory.

Good question!

 

Dogberry's bag usually contains at least three small items. The first is a small pipe, the second is a leather pouch containing moko grass and some matches, and the third is a piece of coral. As he doesn't have much gil, and doesn't think anyone is likely to rob him, he usually has all of his gil, which is usually less then a thousand.

 

From there it's full of whatever odds and ends he finds useful at the time. Rations and water if he's on a long trek, or stuff he can sell, or occasionally bricks when he wants a hard workout.

What... is in your character's bag? 

Gyshal Greens to feed Lupi, Hungry Chocobos are sad Chocobos. Maple Logs for starting a fire, Some fine food for myself and of course a musical instrument for those lonely times. 

 

What do they consider essentials for survival? 

Wood, food and clean water.

 

What are their keepsakes that push them forward?

A small compass her father gave her to always find her way home

 

How much room is there for things to collect from the wild? 

Plenty of room, however she prefers to carry several jars to put oddity in, so her pack is considered fragile.

 

How much Gil would they carry on their person?

No less than 400 however this would be tucked away all over her person so thieves wouldn't run off with everything.

 

If they have a chocobo they would haul...?

Blankets a tent and fishing pole, never know when you may need to camp. 

 

What kind of things would they leave behind?

Bedding, dishes and minor things like that.

 

What would they discard that you currently keep?

Any left over fish and smokes.

Ooooo a fun thread.

 

What... is in your character's bag? 

X'sato travels extremely lightly, and as such only carries a few days ration (extremely light rations at that) of no-perishable foods, a couple potions, a novel for when he's bored, and a few feet of cordage. He leaves much of the bag empty just in case.

What do they consider essentials for survival? 

Other than food and water (both of which he could find out in the wild), he considers the decently sized knife he keeps on him at all times and the few feet of cordage to be essential. If he is ever separated from his spear (how rare that is), with the knife,cord and a branch; he can make a rough spear. A decent weapon can net you food and he can find water.  

What are their keepsakes that push them forward?

He has a necklace that his parents gave him before he left to fight in the Holy war.

How much room is there for things to collect from the wild? 

Plenty. Not enough to fit everything he might find on his travel, but enough to fit what he deems the most important.

How much Gil would they carry on their person?

Very Little. Much of his gil is left in his home, hidden. 

If they have a chocobo they would haul...?

For being the son of a Chocobo merchant, he doesn't own a Chocobo.

What kind of things would they leave behind?

Most of his gil, casual clothing, non-essentials.

What would they discard that you currently keep?

90% of the trash loot. X'sato is only really interested in crafting armor on the side, so he doesn't really have a need to carry around so many animal pelts or anything like that.

Heinrich carries the following things with him in his backpack:

 

1) A small jug of sting brew. The stuff is useful for getting rid of large insectoid pests before setting up camp or logging, and for drinking.

2) A full water skin.

3) Bandages.

4) Gysahl Greens. He chews the stuff. If it is good for a chocobo, it must be good for me.

5) Some jerky and trail rations.

6) A large survival knife.

7) A hatchet.

8) Needle and thread.

9) Flint and steel.

10) 50 feet of silk rope.

11) A bar of soap.

 

Since he typically ventures into the wilderness to log, he doesn't have any gil on him. If travelling, he keeps a small bag of gil stashed in the darkest depths of his pack along with one change of clothes. He would also include a bedroll and blanket.

I want in too! =3

 

 

What... is in your character's bag? 

L'ohke is a bit of a hoarder so his bag would be filled to the brim with useless crap, together with important stuff. 

 

What do they consider essentials for survival? 

A waterskin, some dried rations and a beat up, small children's book. Some nuts and berries for chewing on when rations and food are scarce. He tries to keep everything he can use for some minor alchemy in a seperate place.

 

What are their keepsakes that push them forward?

No keepsakes, he is always saying he will go back there some day.

 

How much room is there for things to collect from the wild? 

Never enough. It's a medium sized bag and he don't carry much of personal value but when you pick up things like a 'funny shaped bone'...

 

How much Gil would they carry on their person?

A few houndred, enough for a decent meal and a bed.

 

If they have a chocobo they would haul...?

No. Imagine all the crap he could collect then.

 

What kind of things would they leave behind?

Nothing. He fill the sack to the brim and then spend several agonizing hours trying to decide what he can do without. 

 

What would they discard that you currently keep?

Nothing. But perishable food would be the first to go when he actually have to throw things away.

Oh god yes I love prompts!

 

Rita is a fairly robust and tough world wanderer, so...

 

 

[align=center]Paerlwyn "Rita" Guldbloewyn's Inventory[/align]

 

Adventurer's Backpack

A large backpack slung over Rita's shoulders, filled to the brim with required essentials.

  • A flask
  • Flint and Steel
  • A small assortment of tea leaves
  • A small bowl and matching grinder, well worn from use.
  • An aged tea infuser
  • Bed Roll
  • An assortment of maps
  • 50 Feet of Rope, coiled up to be compact
  • A few light cooking pots
  • Waterskin
  • A small calligraphy set
  • A few leather backed journals and books, in various degrees of completion
  • Hunting knives
  • A steamy romance novel or two

 

Satchel Bag

Hanging from her shoulder, this bag is very rarely parted from Rita. She usually keeps it on her at all times, carrying smaller items inside.

  • Up to three journal books can often be stashed inside. They share similiar qualities as those present in her backpack. One is always present however, and is much smaller, able to neatly fit into both her palms when open.
  • Wrapped charcoal
  • Waterskin
  • A Dagger

 

On Her Immediate Person

Items either present on her body, pockets or otherwise stashed on her

  • Two daggers
  • Her greataxe
  • Coin Purse, strung into a low hanging necklace that neatly hides the bag in her cleavage and away from prying eyes.
  • Traveling clothes and armour

 

What are their keepsakes that push them forward?

Rita constantly keeps her journals near her person at all times. She is constantly filling them with tidbits during her travels. The pages within detail things as simple as sketches, to full blown and detailed maps. When each book is completed, she places them in order of completion in a safe and secure place.

 

She one day plans to compile them together into a legible autobigoraphy in her eldest years.

 

How much room is there for things to collect from the wild?

She's got enough to keep any trinkets or a weapon or two in her travels, if on foot. She is prone to detail locations of things she cannot immediately take with her in her journals, however, and will make a return trip if she thinks it's appropriate.

 

How much Gil would they carry on their person?

She tries to keep at least enough for a full week's worth of bed and food.

 

If they have a chocobo they would haul...?

If she has access to a Chocobo, Rita would not really change her inventory management much, outside of leaving her heavier things on the bird when she is on foot acting as a ranger.

 

What kind of things would they leave behind?

Out of her possessions, the items in her backpack are the least value to her. If it came down to it, she is willing to drop the backpack. But she will fight tooth and nail for her satchel, for her own reasons.

Eva I stole your template, don't be mad! I was being lazy.

 

What... is in your character's bag?

Trash

Pastries

Miscellaneous Snacks

Leaves

More trash

A sketchbook

Probably a few small rocks too

 

What do they consider essentials for survival?

Gerik doesn't really plan, he kinda just goes out... unprepared

 

What are their keepsakes that push them forward?

He has a sketchbook

 

How much room is there for things to collect from the wild?

If it's tasty, he'll find a way to manage to carry it.

 

How much Gil would they carry on their person?

He has an allowance every week, it's a good-sized amount. Mostly he spends it on food.

 

If they have a chocobo they would haul...?

His chocobo is dead ;;

 

What kind of things would they leave behind?

He doesn't really have a lot in terms of material possessions, but he keeps a box of sentimental items.

....

Your list reminds me of what my DnD characters carry around.

 

For myself.

What... is in your character's bag?

Outside of the cities he carries a fair-sized pack. In it is A loose assortment of tools (small file, chisel, A knife, bent glass for magnification, chalk, coal, sheaf of paper in a roll, spyglass, 6ilm chord with a knot every ilm). Two waterskins. Dodo-tack, raisins and short-bread cookies. Some dried Tea leaves, a mug, an empty Jar or two for specimens and a rope about 20-feet of Hemp.

What do they consider essentials for survival?

The spyglass, and raisins are important, he's used to living on little though.

What are their keepsakes that push them forward?

The sheaf of paper, or specimen jars, when actually containing drawings, writings, objects or critters are nearly invaluable to him.

How much room is there for things to collect from the wild?

He prefers to take small samples and sketch/record anything too large or fragile to disturb.

How much Gil would they carry on their person?

A fair amount, a few hundred, used to requiring the purchase of information from locals about out of the way places to go, as well as feeding his Chocobo.

If they have a chocobo they would haul...?

When bringing his Chocobo along he often attaches a saddle bag to one side and a few cages/bags to the other, in the saddle he'll store a tarp to throw over wherever they choose to settle if it rains, some extra food, water and some extra specimen jars. The bags and cages are for live samples or items for trade.

What kind of things would they leave behind?

He prefers to leave things alone, only taking "discard" or threatened objects that won't last in the wild

Link to comment

What... is in your character's bag? 

A small amount of food, his non-primary linkpearls (wears his Blue Skies pearl in one ear, and a private pearl in the other.), a small portable toolkit (For his Magitek Engineering), which includes several vials/containers of Ceruleum. He also carries a few Magitek gadgets, such as flashbangs and ropeless grappling hooks (Which he also carries in his belt. Tried to link videos, but you can't seem to tie youtube videos to text. Both are totally canon from 1.0~) Above all else, he carries empty containers and a small extraction tool for harvesting Ceruleum in the case of an emergency.

 

What do they consider essentials for survival? 

Water and food, naturally. Also his portable toolkit and spare vials of Ceruleum for any emergency maintenance his arm might require in the field. He also carries a few spares of the more crucial components in case anything breaks down. As mentioned above, he always has a small extraction tool for harvesting small amounts of Ceruleum in case of emergencies.

 

 

What are their keepsakes that push them forward?

Endemerrin only carries one real item of great personal value to him, which is kept on his prosthetic's ring finger at all time.

How much room is there for things to collect from the wild?

Enough for anything of real value, so long as it is relatively small in size. He does not bother with hides and meats.

 

How much Gil would they carry on their person?

That's no one's business but his own~

 

 

If they have a chocobo they would haul...?

He doesn't use his Chocobo for much outside of travel. He has another pack beast for hauling heavy objects as needed.

What kind of things would they leave behind?

He'd bring a full toolkit if he could, but the amount and size of some tools would prove far too hindering in his adventuring. He'd also carry more gadgets, but chooses to stick to the essentials.

 

What would they discard that you currently keep?

Pretty much everything. At most, he keeps any Magitek or unique materials he finds (or steals from the Garleans) while out in the field.

Then you saw right through me. I'm was a big DnD player back in highschool and remain a fan of the brand name. I picked up all the basic 4th edition books even though I didn't particularly like that incarnation of the game. So I learned to have my fantasy characters pack stuff like my DnD characters. :)

What... is in your character's bag? :  Things that may or may not be hers, though with possession being some good fraction of the law and such, everything she has now is currently hers... :angel:

 

What do they consider essentials for survival?: Deep shadows and good escape route.  You mean possession-wise?  8-)

 

 

 

What are their keepsakes that push them forward?:  Isobeau wears an alabaster half-masque that covers the entire left side of her face, featureless save for a stylized tear-shaped diamond located near the inner corner of the left-eye socket.  Though it has a bit more purpose to her than a "keepsake", its the one thing that allows her to "push forward" into a oftentimes hostile society. 

 

 

 

How much room is there for things to collect from the wild?:  Not much.  Beating the brush is not really her thing; she doesn't spend a lot of time out there, and things like beastman's blood don't hold much interest.  The above response changes when she goes out the the wild to collect ore, however.  If she goes out with the intention to gather, she brings along enough bags to carry what she went out to get.

 

 

 

How much Gil would they carry on their person?:  42, because that's the answer to everything...

 

 

 

If they have a chocobo they would haul...?:  Themselves to where they needed to go.

 

 

 

What kind of things would they leave behind?:  Things that would not allow her to travel light, win a fight, or would hinder flight.  If she could fully justify it to herself, she'd even leave behind her bulky protective armor.

 

 

What would they discard that you currently keep?:  All the clothing better suited for those who wield the powers of the Aether, just in case she ever wants to dabble in a little black magic...Isobeau knows she won't, and she'd toss the stuff if she could ;)

What... is in your character's bag? 

JJ has: Small bit of rope, flint, tinder, collapsible knife, some smoked meat, some spices, canteen of water... he doesn't have much else since he lost his "original" bag during the Calamity

Alex has: Mortar & pestle, knife, empty bottles, string, potions, various ingredients, rope, flint, tinder, water, some spare clothes (might be more but not off the top of my head)

 

What do they consider essentials for survival? 

JJ considers: Rope, water and a knife to be essential. He can get away with making fire by magic if he needs to. Bare minimum he'd search for if he was stranded on an island though. 

Alex considers: Same as JJ... JJ trained Alex!

 

What are their keepsakes that push them forward?

JJ has: A small pouch that houses a couple broken pearls and he wears the bent and damaged wedding ban from his deceased wife around his neck. 

Alex has: A bracelet he and his sister made years back. That's it, he lost all other keepsakes.

 

How much room is there for things to collect from the wild? 

JJ: He has a bit of room, and he also has a secondary bag that's rolled up tight for situations like that.

Alex: Being an herbalist/alchemst, has a lot of room for that sort of thing. 

 

How much Gil would they carry on their person?

JJ: None to a couple 1000s.

Alex: Couple Gil to a couple 1000s.

 

If they have a chocobo they would haul...?

JJ's Chocobo would haul: JJ!

Alex's Chocobo would haul: MOAR herbs and stuff

 

What kind of things would they leave behind?

JJ: Since he keeps his irreplaceable stuff on his body, he'd not be too upset about losing his travel bag entirely.

Alex: His work is in his bag and if he's in the middle of a big herb hunt, he'd be pretty pissed if his bag got left behind. If it was too heavy, he'd toss out empty bottles and the mortar and pestle.

 

What would they discard that you currently keep?

JJ: Pretty much his hole bag if he needed to.

Alex: His spare clothes and empty bottles if he needed to.

  • 11 months later...

What is on your character's person?

 

What do they consider essentials for survival?

On a long trip.

A large canteen of water, two days of dried meat rations, various medicinal herbs, hunting knife, two other secret knives, a pole arm (or bow), a piece of flint and various vials of anti-toxin from commonly-found venomous creatures.

 

What are their keepsakes that push them forward?

Pair of fang earrings made by Kendha'to Burwani, lock of blonde hair from Rinette Molkoh, raptorskin ring with the words "I forgive you" engraved on it, Master Lancer's ring given by a strange old man in Gridania, fang necklace given by Kiht's father, bag of various unused linkpearls and a pair of wrist bands with active linkpearls slotted on them.

 

How much room is there for things to collect from the wild?

One or two large leather sack(s) worth when she goes hunting. Only a single satchel worth when scouting/exploring.

 

How much Gil would they carry on their person?

Varies, but on a normal day, 100 to 1000 gil.

 

If they have a chocobo they would haul...?

Windrunner is too "wild" to be a good pack chocobo. He is for GTFOing. She often goes places without him.

 

What kind of things would they leave behind?

She leaves a lot at home. She has a collection of various pole arms, a bow made by Kendha'to Burwani, many various outfit and leather pieces, an old leather-bound journal passed down from her great grandmother and her leather-working tools that she only uses when she goes to Gridania to leather-work.

 

What would they discard that you currently keep?

Her keepsakes and her chocobo are the only things she would be really upset about loosing. Everything else is expendable.

Let's take a look at L'yhta in the field. :)

 

What... is in your character's bag?

A length of rope, a water skin filled with water, a smaller water skin filled with something harder (beer, wine, or possibly liquor), various dried meats, a few potions, a tin of tea, a bunch of gil, an old leather bound journal, a quill and ink, a sheaf of paper in a leather folio, and a book of arcanima geometries. Depending on where she's been and where she's going, there might also be a small goldsmithing toolkit and some Garlean magitek parts.

 

Her pouch of candied fruits is on her belt for easy access, naturally.

 

What do they consider essentials for survival?

Jellied fruits and tea, obviously.

 

More seriously, though, she feels her voice and her staff are all she needs to survive. While she's intellectually aware of the potential dangers of the field, she can make water and fire through magic, and she's pretty sure she could construct a shelter magickally if required.

 

What are their keepsakes that push them forward?

Unsurprisingly to anyone who meets her, L'yhta considers her book of arcanima and whatever staff she's carrying at the time to be her most important possessions. They're not exactly keepsakes, however. Perhaps the closest thing to a keepsake she has are the three linkpearl studs in her right ear.

 

How much room is there for things to collect from the wild?

There's not a tremendous amount, but then, she can always teleport back home. At any rate, she rarely strays too far from a settlement of some sort, since she rather enjoys the creature comforts of society -- such as warm beds and enclosed privies.

 

How much Gil would they carry on their person?

Far too much to be sensible; 25,000 or more in coins, bearer bonds, and letters of credit. It's split between a belt pouch and her backpack.

 

If they have a chocobo they would haul...?

The entire backpack. :) L'yhta generally keeps everything other than her belt pouches of gil and candied fruits and her staff (or book) on her chocobo, Shera, or more commonly these days, strapped to her magitek Reaper. She likes her chocobo too much to risk her getting hurt in the field. Chocobos can die, while magitek just breaks down and needs to be repaired.

 

What kind of things would they leave behind?

She'd prefer to carry all of her staves, a sword, and some enchanted armor with her, but she's aware that they're too likely to get lost and, in a pitched battle, she wouldn't have the opportunity to use them anyway. She also leaves behind most of her clothes and tools of vanity, figuring that they're too likely to get dirty in the field, and she wouldn't need them there anyway.

 

What would they discard that you currently keep?

The various body parts and secretions of creatures, which while useful for crafting, would definitely provoke an, "Ick," from L'yhta. "I'm not skinning that peiste! And! Did you see where that web came out of that diremite? Ew!"
