Friends: Recruited!

((My boyfriend and my tabletop DM both decided to try out FFXIV, which gave me enough feathers to buy a drought chocobo! If you are on Mateus and need to be flown places/go on an Aetheryte tour on a tiny alt, hit me up! :) ))

When you’re trying to take a serious and important picture… but you’re too big to fit under the table. Here I thought Gridania was an Elezen-friendly place! I shall have to take this up with management.

Do I hear an “Aye” from Highlander, Elezen and Roegadyn brothers and sisters… and, of course, Au Ra fellows?

((Is this a Highlander problem too? Just curious! - This has been a confirmed issue, thank you @shslivalice))

Looking for a free company on Ufah’ra Vamsidu - Balmung

Thanks to @xihli i know how to write it down now. I was kinda hesitating and struggling around with that.

I am searching for free company for my Voidsent/Ascian mix creature to not only RP, but also do PVE activities. I love doing dungeons, maps or just helping in general. It would be also a great opportunity to make more friends and get some people better to know.

What i am looking for:

- A darker themed fc who dwells in illegal activities and crimes.

- Smut friendly. Incubus…<.< It’s of course possible to fade to black aswell!

- An active fc with a decent number of players.

- EU friendly FC. Since i am from Switzerland, i may be offline when some come online to play.

Ufah’s Char sheet:

http://thorcatte.tumblr.com/post/175551620980/if-you-stare-long-enough-into-the-void-it-will

Side note:

I KNOW i am bending the lore. My char is extremely subtle with his true nature and dies not blurt it around. If i join the fc, then he will be icly a weird creepy guy who speaks odd and seems to know alot. I don’t approach people in general to RP. I wait till i get approached and give them a fair warning. Overall i am really doing my best to make the rp for everyone comfortable and i am oocly really easy to approach.

Help! I think Koh's upset with me. I could really use some ideas on those Keeper dishes we talked about earlier, if you have a moment to send it my way! Much thanks!

Well, I’m not from the same area as Koh, so our dishes are a liiiittle different but mostly pretty similar. All that’s really different is the spices, but that’s personal taste anyway.

Personally, I recommend the simple classic: the Meat Miq'abob.

This is something that pretty much any Keeper family would have as a dinner staple, especially when travelling. Now, the recipe the Bismark put in their cookbook uses Dodo, which is common in La Noscea, but not so much in the Shroud.

While yes, you can buy Dodo meat at the market, many Keepers come from hunter families. Those of us that do usually prefer meat that tastes a bit more gamey, so it can be worth the extra points if you decide to use hunted meat. Back home we used yak meat or gastornis, but I think most Gridanian keepers prefer antelope. It should be fresh, so if you’re not a good hunter, buying some at the market should suffice.

Second, you’re gonna want nice, ripe veggies. I use ruby tomatoes myself.

When you’re cooking, make sure not to overcook the meat. You want to get your pan or fire hot enough to get a nice sear, but you don’t want the meat to get rubbery.

Lastly, you need to let the meat rest for just a little bit before serving. You don’t want to eat it right off the bat because it’ll be too hot, but also letting it sit for a few minutes lets the meat absorb its juices back into itself, instead of it just running everywhere when you cut or bite it.

Hope yours turns out well! Let me know how it goes!

((Thank you so much for this! Gives me an excuse to talk about stupid Keeper stuff since they give us like…no lore. I have so many random ass headcanons about Keepers and no excuse to share them.))

#This is very cute!

What do you think is the worst possible way to die? For Ufah

“The worst way is a way no one can manage..thankfully. There is nothing more horrible than getting banned into an azurite and infused which such an high amount of aether that it shatters. It rips and shatters a soul apart. Killing an ascian..thankfully azurite is rare. No one knows how to handle it and there are no living beings who are currently able to infuse a stone like this with so much aether.”

#A GOOD MOONCATTE.

Opinions on Lain’s aunt Vashti range from “somewhat eccentric” to “actual lunatic”, and she’s made no aim to try and sway people one way or the other. Though her mother wished her to be a bard and continue on the Burwani tradition of storykeeping and ballad weaving, Vashti had other plans, and happily escaped the Shroud the moment she could to hone a quieter trade.

Though she was supposed to teach her youngest niece the Canticle of the Deep Dark Wood -- the history of the Burwani bloodline put to verse -- she has only provided bits and pieces to Lain via letter, the notes that accompany the verses scribbled in the margins in a simply unforgivable messy scrawl.

Though Vashti’s letters often span too many pieces of parchment, she only grants Lain a single verse every few months or so -- instead regaling her with tales of the Space Between Worlds, the Woman of Three Faces and her Six Bright Blades who guards her kingdom, and of doomed destinies forged by blood and by blade.

Vashti’s mother used to say her daughter was a natural songstress with a mind touched by fire. Her sister Reula, trying to be diplomatic, called her a woman who dreamed too much with a wince and a cringe.

Lain, for her part, absolutely adores her.

((I am definitely about this! I know at least one person who would likely be interested in this on some toon, somewhere -- @pao-mith ? ))

an-ale-of-a-tale replied to your post: …

(( We did it with 5 70s – if we don’t have enough people/are worried about levels, I can ask my guild if they want to help! ))

((Interesting! ST is so straight-forward (mostly burn the boss). Not a lot of inter-alliance mechanics to worry about like in LotA or WoD. So, I could see that. We’ll have to see if there’s some interest, and maybe put something together on a weekend if anyone wants some glamour drops!))

((I will, I will! There’s a lot I haven’t done and I’ve meant to hit Syrcus, but I was determined to hit 70 and finish out the MSQ. Thank you! :D ))

shroudsong replied to your post: ☼ - If you’d like our characters to be friends. ��

((oh my god oH MY GOD I NEED IT FOR LAIN. THE BIGGEST HAT. THE BEST FEATHER.))

((Amon’s Hat only drops from the final boss (Xande) in the Syrcus Tower 24 man raid. As a bonus, you get to beat up Amon before that. ;) It seems to be a fairly rare drop – I got it after my 15th run while working on Amon’s glamour, and haven’t seen it drop again.

I will totally run ST all day and all night with anyone as I’m weird and enjoy the place. Good runs are short, and tend to take about 20 mins. Hit me up if you’re farming glamour and I’ll pass on everything.))

LFRP - Lain Burwani (Mateus)

The Basics

AGE: 25 RACE: Miqo’te; Keeper of the Moon GENDER: Female SEXUALITY: Pansexual MARITAL STATUS: Single

Physical Appearance

HAIR: White; Lain often dyes streaks into her hair in order to match her current favorite set of gear. EYES: Magenta HEIGHT: Taller than average BUILD: Slim athletic build; Lain is built like sprinting is a beloved hobby with a toned upper body from years of archery. DISTINGUISHING MARKS: Lain has a thin diagonal scar that runs across the bridge of her nose from an errant bowstring that whacked her in the face when it snapped.

Lain’s face, upper arms, shoulders, and thighs are covered in a myriad of light grey-to-white freckles. Her mother calls this being ‘moonkissed’ -- blessed by Menphina at birth. If it’s imparted a boon, Lain hasn’t discovered it, but it’s kind of charming. COMMON ACCESSORIES: Lain is rarely seen without a bow on her back, and dresses with typical bardic flair. That is, the miqo’te looks like someone who is constantly picking shiny stuff up to better decorate her nest with.

Her fingers are festooned with thin rings and in lieu of gloves, hammered gold is wrapped up and over her wrists in an intricate looping pattern, ending at about mid-forearm. Various trinkets are tied to her belt -- a golden spyglass, some climbing rope, glittering crystals and pouches giving off suspicious smells.

The large curled feather stuck into her chapeau looks to be a writer’s quill, which matches the vials of ink wrapped around her belt loops with so much twine. Rolls of parchment are stuffed into free pockets and her arrow quiver.

Personal

PROFESSION: Adventurer-bard, tracker, bow for hire, amateur writer, persistently testing her luck and scraping by in deathly situations by the skin of her teeth HOBBIES: Travelling, writing, people-watching, room-reading LANGUAGES: Eorzean Common and a basic understanding of Beast Tribe languages. RESIDENCE: Vagrant -- Lain is an adventurer and wherever she rests her head is home. BIRTHPLACE: Somewhere deep within the South Shroud. FEARS: Lain has a great many fears. Drowning, uncontrolled fire, being trapped in a small space, abandonment and failure are the big ones.

Relationships

SPOUSE: None. CHILDREN: None. PARENTS: Reula Burwani, mother. Father unknown -- Lain has vague memories of him but nothing concrete. He was a poacher. Her siblings were sired by another man. SIBLINGS: Mhinx Burwani, younger sister, deceased. Reula’a Burwani, younger brother, deceased. OTHER RELATIVES: Vashti Burwani, aunt.

Traits

extroverted / introverted / in between.

disorganized / organized / in between.

close minded / open-minded / in between.

calm / anxious / in between.

disagreeable / agreeable / in between.

cautious / reckless / in between.

patient / impatient / in between.

outspoken / reserved / in between.

leader / follower / in between.

empathetic / apathetic / in between.

optimistic / pessimistic / in between.

traditional / modern / in between.

hard-working / lazy / in between.

cultured / uncultured / in between.

loyal / disloyal / unknown / in between.

faithful / unfaithful / unknown / in between.

Additional Information

SMOKING HABIT: never / sometimes / frequently / to excess. DRUGS: never / sometimes / frequently / to excess. ALCOHOL: never / sometimes / frequently / to excess.

RP Hooks:

Lain worked closely with an enigmatic group called The Library, a Free Company sponsored by Sharlayan historians towards unknown ends. She left the Free Company quite abruptly and, while she keeps in contact with some of its Eorzean members, she doesn’t like to talk about her time among them.

Lain has found her passion in both adventuring and transcribing the stories of other adventurers, so that they will always be remembered. Do you have a good tale to tell? Lain’ll take it, and pay you for your time, too.

Lain’s a tavern fly and a consummate people-watcher. She likes sitting on benches in cities and watching the world flow around her.

In her youth, Lain was a poacher with a chip on her shoulder and violent tendencies to spare. She was apprehended by the Wood Wailers several times and constantly ran abreast of the Trapper’s League. She was eventually set straight just before the Seventh Umbral Calamity.

OOC Notes:

I’m jumping back into RP after some time away from it and would LOVE contact! I don’t ERP out of personal preference (I’m a fade-to-black-er) but other than that, I’m game for anything -- mature/violent RP, grimdark stuff, humor, slice of life -- you name it.

I’m cool with in-game RP and Discord! Send me a message on Tumblr for my Discord ID. :D

I also LOVE PvE, though I’m only...63 on my Bard as of writing this. I’m working on getting Lain’s healer spec up to task as well, and I love doing FATEs and Dungeons/Raids!
