Let's get some Garlean role-play going!

[Koti Nexus]

Hey there,

Glad to see some people are interested in actually playing some Garleans and still being loyal to the Empire. I would jump on this stick, but sadly Vaelyn already had his "return" and then turned right back around to "betray" the very Empire, only because of his love for a very lucky woman.

 

That sad back in 1.0, a friend of mine was actually playing an assassin, who was going to make Vaelyn's life /hell/ for betraying the Empire-- knowingly. He was going to pretty much take everything he knew in Ezorea, everything he loved, and pretty much destroy it.

 

Sadly, end game came and the threat was never able to be fully carried out. Along with the fact that I have simply forgotten what Vaelyn's Garlean name was (cause a year of no rp, its easy to forget those kinda details).

 

Back in 1.0 I also did a /TON/ of research on Garleans, including I was working on a thing explaining what I had broken down in my journal on the blog.. sadly.. 1.0 blogs went bye-bye, along with everything I broke down (grr).

 

What I do remember and its a fun fact about Garleans, is that they are not able to use magic. Any "Garlean", who does use magic is probably not from the main motherland and probably were those who were hypnotically mind-controlled into Garlean empire as little children from Ala Migho or some such.

 

So I know for Vae, he had to borrow some supplies from Isilime (as he helps her work on the Magitech armor) to repower his armor, because his armor is what allows him as a Dragoon to create fire on his spear and do the things that most would use magic for. The reason his armor stopped working-- Ather-shifting-- since he was from 5 years ago.

 

LONG story short. If /any/ of you are interested in maybe picking up where my friend left off or even a few of you want to play maybe a long lost friend of my characters (cause he did have friends in the Empire, before he went traitor). Let me know. I'll love for some character torment.

 

And yeah-- if you are interested in it. I'll hunt around to see if I can remember what his original name was. Its somewhere!

 

EDIT:

I found Vaelyn's original name - Vaer LyKean (Though I created it before SE made a statement on what Garlean names were like. Yay for doing this stuff back in 1.0 and having to dig far harder then ARR cause Yoshi is <3 and loves us roleplayers)

Oh Fox, I will definitely be poking you in game ^^. Are you still maining on this character or do you have a new main? Just so I know which character I have a better chance poking you on :3

If I am not on Vaelyn, I am on Jayce Sylvora. These are two I tend to bounce around between due to both having some heavy RP connections with people. I do have another alt, but haven't done much with her. Her name is kinda insane because of being a Sea Wolf (Geyssfohc Skyltahrwyn).

 

I also have fourth (or fifth?) who I may throw at you guys as a true up military Garlean, but I am trying to decide if I wanna do that or not. (He is pretty wild looking right now and I decided for lawls to see if I could make a successful looking half-Elezen.. which amazingly worked). So I may change him up and scrap his name (cause it is far to American), but not gonna give that over cause I am kinda fudging around with him atm.

 

So yeah, those are the 3 names you will most likely find me running around on.

So, I'd be really interested in this! But my character is not exactly along the same lines as yours all seem to be.

 

Currently he does his absolute best to hide that he was at any point working with the Garleans, and managed to go MIA/AWOL.

 

While I wasn't really sure if he, out of what seems like a significant amount of people in this army, would necessarily be noticed as a traitor or that he's even gone, I'd kept thinking it might be fun if he was someone who was sought after for his 'crimes' against the Empire.

 

(I will say, I haven't finished the main storyline, but I do not mind spoilers personally.)

 

I'm totally open to suggestions, as well. His wiki is a little vague on the subject while it (his past) is under construction.

Yes! *eats up Garlean RP* I'll be offline for about a day or two, so if you find yourself interested in Garlean RP and I don't respond in a decent amount of time message me here or try to find me in game.

 

Fox, I shall sniff you out because this seems like an interesting premise. We could go a few different routes, maybe try to bring him back into the fold or hunt him down for his betrayal! I would love to discuss this further with you.

 

Kaoru, same goes for you! Though it sounds like he has very little interest in returning so it would be more like a man hunt. Bring him back to the Empire alive, type of deal. I am really flexible though so it is completely up to you how you would like to handle this. Personally, I like a good man-hunt..maybe a little black mail, who knows!

 

Come join the Legion or get hunted like a frightened rabbit!

I would be SO down for this if only I were on Balmung. I have a character concept i've been itching to try out that would be perfect for this kind of RP.

Hahaha. This may turn into former Garleans vs current Garleans, and we shall have an epic battle of traitors vs soldiers!

But yeah, I am pretty open. We'll see what comes and like I said, if anyone wants to play some of his old comrades he may have known. I got no problem with this. It may cause him to trip up a bit (which be hilarious).

 

Also still playing around with giving you guys a straight up Garlean soldier. Thinking about an Archer, so if they /ever/ release freakin the class where we can wield guns..

 

I'll keep you guys posted on that front.

Have no fear Teuto! I too have an idea for Garlean RP - and on Gilgamesh!

I have a level 8(ish) Lalafell archer who has the backstory of being a ruthless Garlean assassin.

 

PM me on here if you would like to talk or ingame (Parker Connor, Sigyn Bloebloud, Zali'ah Qin - sorry have lots of alts)

 

Look forward to dastardly schemes!

Does anyone know if there are any armor sets that look similar to that of Garlean armor?

Ofcourse, not completely. But similar?

[Ildur]

Gear that drops from Amdapor Keep is very similar to what Garlean mook troops wear.

However, those aren't remotely magitek-y.

The closest think to 'special' Garlean armors is the Allaghan sets, which are obtained from running the level 50 dungeon Binding Coil of Bahamut, if I recall correctly.

They do allow you to create one character per server (Unless you pay extra or are Legacy) :3. You can always come try it out and I can poke you on here to send you updates about plots and such since I won't be able to catch you on your main. 

 

Fox, that doesn't sound like a bad idea. I am already getting things together to hunt down all these deserters. I will be on most of today so hopefully I will be able to catch you ^^.

I am new to this server (and roleplaying on FFXIV), and while catching up on lore, I too became very fascinated with the Garlean lore! There is definitely a connection to Garleans in one of my character's history, and I would love to create an Garlean alt to flesh this out even more.  And any other Garlean history I can help fill out for people, I am game! Just don't expect my characters to be high level, my sole character is barely going to hit level 20 soon.  I am still fairly new to this game.  :blush:

Feel free to PM me if I can help!  I will poke those I've seen here on the thread next time I am on.

Pfft! Levels, who needs em ?

 

I'd love to answer any questions you have and if you want to join our little shell just send me a tell in game. I'll be back in game around 7pm pst.

Or you can always leave which character you were interested in getting involved with and I'll hunt you down :bomb:
