Minions and RP

[Zaylin]

I'm curious; How many people use Minions in RPs? I use the Mammet #001 in RPs on occasion, due to how my character's a goldsmith. And I was just wondering if others use them too.

[TheWizard]

My Garlean magitek engineer made a model vanguard and she sometimes has it follow her and my scholar has a wind-up succubus that he's going to find in Haukke Manor only to discover is being possessed by a lesser voidsent.

[Marisa]

Ryoko has a dog named Turalyon she takes everywhere with her. It's supposed to be a young Coerthan Husky, but the wolf pup suffices for now.

[Sounsyy]

My character doesn't really have a reason to use one as yet, but if I could I would. I happened across a really creative Lalafell character who's Mammet #001 actually sang really off-key (real world) pop culture references. I was thoroughly amused.

[Bumo]

Minions and mounts play a large part for one of my characters, as he's something of a pet collector.

[Saefinn]

I roleplay a Tonberry called Falfa. Like the Tonberry in the Scholar quest-line she isn't blinded by the curse. She plays a part in some of Saefinn's storyline, mainly with his exploration of Nymian ruins to find ancient treasures. Falfa has helped him navigate said ruins.

 

I mainly use her for comic reasons, she, like one of Saefinn's faeries, likes to berate him, but then Saefinn's faerie Asaviola is a bad influence on her. Because Saefinn is somewhat of an egotist and a drunk and a little on the eccentric side, it's not uncommon for folk to make fun of him...even his own damn crew.

 

However, Saefinn not so long ago was trying to convince Falfa to be our receptionist at our estate. Asaviola is also a big whiskey drinker - the Captain clearly not being an influence there.

 

As you can probably tell, I roleplay the faeries too. I even roleplay the Ifrit-egi, though Saefinn treats him like a walking barbecue, it's not often he gets to play a combat role, rather, Saefinn finds it more amusing to treat the essence of some primal deity like a chef.

[Aaron]

Aaron has a wolf pup named Fenrir. Stumbled across the pet when revisiting his home in La Noscea. 

 

Disclaimer - I called it Fenrir after what I call my real dog. Had no idea Fenrir was in 2.4. Oh well im not changing the name.

[Dat Oni]

I use the Wind-Up Shantotto as a placeholder for Ed's animated doll. It works, as the doll is considered IC to be a toy Lalafell.

[Delilah Scythewood]

Lili has a lot of little creatures at home that sometimes follow her out of the house. Lately it's been her goobue sproutling that followed her home or the mammet her kids gave her for her birthday a while back.

[Cade]

i pull out the pup on occasion, usually only when I'm fishing or crafting.   If anything it creates a nice opening for someone to make an introduction with. "Awr what a cute puppy!"

[Aysun]

The Bluebird has ended up IC for me! I squeed so much about it when I got it that my friend dropped story on me in RP so I could use it IC. Her name is Kus.

[Zaylin]

Oh wow. I hardly see anyone use Minions in RPs except for Zana when she's working. Squirt (The said Mammet) brings her ore and whetstones to grind. And tools if they're not with in grabbing distance. 

 

:3 Thanks for satisfying my curiosity.

[Lady Rivienne]

The wolf pup is actually an integral piece to Rivienne's backstory! I use him IC and even though he is supposed to be much older than a pup now, I still fit him in my roleplay.

 

Recently, a tapir has played a part IC, too.

[ZindelloTarantella]

Anyone that has met Tarot has likely met Moggie-Moglin, his moogle companion and 'brother'. Moggie has a habit of flirting with the ladies and getting drunk. He also is the founder and president of the Aya Foxheart Fan Club Ultima.

[Lan Darklyn]

Lan has a dog named Blitz who i use for all sorts of fun RP around the FC house. Blitz has a habit of stealing ladies under things and bringing them to Lan expecting a reward...Which of course makes people accuse Lan of teaching him to do that as some sort of perverted trick. It's gotten a lot of good laughs.

[Rythulian]

I've mentioned this is in passing in another thread, think it was the one about IC pets, but Fohcswys has a tiny rat named 'Squeak'. Which is obviously just using the tiny rat minion. 

 

I honestly tend to use it as my IC or not indicator these days too.

[Braise]

I use some of the wind-up, mechanical, or stuffed toy looking minions.

Hunfrid my main is a toymaker/tinkerer.

He makes toys for kids and I sometimes RP him working on them, or have the wind-up/mechanical toys do silly stuff.
