Rise of the Wildwoods!

[Magellan]

I've seen threads sharing Duskie love, Roe love, Miqo love (as if they need more love ), but haven't seen a thread about Wildwood love! I'm interested in seeing pics, RP stories (keep em brief or link wikis) and I'd also be interested in creating some Wildwood meetings in game once the servers stabilize.

 

So leave your forests! Put down your bows and pull up a chair, and let me offer you some tea!

As soon as SE decides to unlock chargen, I am gonna make a Wildwood warrior. Her first name is gonna be Jaenelle, dunno about her last name yet.

[Unlikely_Arcanist]

I agree, wildwoods need more attention! As a wildwood, it is my duty to proclaim that all other races and subraces are inferior! Let it be known throughout the land!

[Chisae]

Unlikely: Your linkshell is it by chance named after Seven Samurai? The original or the anime? I love both, just curious.

[RhotanoBlues]

Still in the process of fixing my elezen but I am game for some RP with other wildwoods!

[TheLastCandle]

Oh!

 

Glad to see some much-needed love for FFXIV's Secret Master Race. 

 

Wildwood 4 lyfe, yo. *throws up some sort of overly elaborate gang sign*

Teehee! My main might be in love with a miqo, but she's still a wildwood.  In fact, if anyone is interested in getting involved, we have a Wildwood merchant family LS. It's called House Marchand. Adriel, Eris and Aulairet are trying to keep their wealthy merchant family afloat after their mother died, brother went poof with the other WoLs and father ran off to distant lands. It doesn't help that Eris has a heart bigger than her wallet and keeps giving gil and jobs away to refugees... or that Eris has fallen in love with a pirate... or that Adriel has gone all "wild child" and fallen in with the bad crowd.

 

In other words, if you are interested in joining in the hilarities, we need always need more wildwood!

My Wildwood is also in love with a Miqo, a Keeper! Your LS sounds interesting! I actually did want to find an all Wilds group, but Izzy's no merchant

 

I'll try to reach you in game this w/e to see if it'd be a good RP fit!

Sure thing! Our website is here. I have actually been really bad about helping Eris run it, so she knows more about some of the family details than I.

D'awwww so cute

[Teardrop]

Believe it or not, at some point, I might switch sides and wear a green mantle instead of the current dusky one 8-) . I converted one of my 1.0 characters into a Wildwood after all...can't waste the tattoo

I don't know how I feel about this... your Duskie is so strikingly unique... and yet.... more Wilds! Yay!

 

 

*is conflicted and confused*

[Darcrathon]

Haha I have seen more Hyur, Miqo'te, and Wildwood than the other races and Duskwight looks to be the smallest minority so you guys should give yourself more credit then saying you're not getting enough love haha. But this sounds cool if I made a Wildwood I would join, but alas Duskwight stole my heart. As for all us in the minorities stick together lets take down these blasted Hyur a peg.

[Magellan]

The statistics as I have gathered them: (these are loose figures based off of various polls)

 

In Eorzea -

 

Miqo'te - 50%

Seeker 60%

Keeper 40%

 

Hyur - 25%

Midlander 75%

Highlander 25%

 

Elezen - 13%

Wildwood 50%

Duskwight 50%

 

Roegadyn - 7%

Sea Wolves 90%

Helsguard 10%

 

Lalafell - 5%

Plains 50%

Dunes 50%

 

Again, there is no scienxe behind these numbers, they are based off approximations from polls on both this site, and wikia. Therefore they are also limited to the RP community and Gilgamung.

[Fates Skein]

*waves!*

 

My gal isn't exactly...comfortable in Gridania or the Shroud anymore but Anais Fleur deVide is a very proud Wildwood!  Check out her Wiki in my sig- looking forward to RPing with you lot!

[Chisae]

I am going to duck under SE's character lock and remake Eshura into my long-wanted Elezen warrior.   I just need to figure out what the surnames of Wildwoods are... already have her first name (Jaenelle).

http://ffxiv-roleplayers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Category:Elezen

 

Unfortunately there isn't much there about surnames but I like the name Jaenelle!

[Chisae]

So.. I did a little umm... research for Wildwood surnames using this name generator, which is based on the in-game name generator. This seems to use actual French surnames, while the in-game one just seems to be a "mash word parts together and hope for a french-sound" type name generator lol. HOWEVER, I have not seen any of the in-game name generator names on any of the NPCs... I have found several of the website surnames in-game...

 

But first, and explanation about what I did: I took a standard piece of lined paper and clicked generate once for each line in the paper and wrote the name down (27 names), with the top part of the page used for "Other" and "special" names; which I will explain later. After I had my 27 names, I clicked generate for 15 minutes and wrote down the amount of times a name on my list popped up.

 

The names with the with most occurrences are the largest families, while the smallest amount, might be noble/aristocratic/wealthy or even just hick families. Or it could be the opposite; highest occurrences are the wealthier families (more money -> more food -> more babies).

 

So with that I give you my list of Wildwood Families!

 

 

 

Marette - 9

Marat - 8

Bauhin - 6

Dornier - 6

Agache - 5

Fournier - 5

Garamond - 5

Guerre - 5

Dumergue - 4

Rondelet - 4

Saugrain - 4

Sorel - 4

Dauremont - 3

Maupassant - 3

Nicot - 2

Rigaud -3

Couillard - 2

Flutaint - 2

Larille - 2

Rabelais - 2

Ronsard - 2

Savigny - 2

Brenaile - 1

Catoire - 1

Desmoulins - 1

Roaille - 1

 

Other Names: The website kept spitting out French surnames, but I wasn't going to write them all down, I just noted them as being either families that died out, or it was just some person that made up their own surname and went about making babies (lol). There was 30 of them when I stopped counting, with some of them having 3 or 4 repeats). The funniest was "Crapponne" and "Sermisy".

 

Special Names: These were just names I really liked the sound of, but they didn't come up when I was making the list... Estienne, Tristelle (my favourites of this mini-list), Sordraix, and Beaujeux.

 

 

That's it! It's up to you whether or now you use this information, I like the idea, so I thought I would share it, especially since these surnames are both canon (for the most part) and lore-friendly.
