Gallery



Backstory

Turned into a voidsent from merging with a braindead reaper avatar, he kept his mind and morals intact, but obtained great powers of darkness. He was manipulated and trained by the voidsent ‘Kronos’ to carry out her unspecified revenge scheme, before unintentionally consuming her when she tried to possess him. He journeyed to Eorzea and was later cleansed of all malign influences, though he still remains a voidsent physically.


Personality, Traits, RP Hooks

• Highly intelligent, charismatic, and sometimes manipulative. He is easy to get along with, but much of this is all trained into him, rather than being genuine.• Possesses a startling capacity for violence when allowed to engage in real combat unhindered.• Fiercely loyal to his friends and associates, his love and appreciation for them is real, and there are no atrocities he would not commit to keep them all safe and happy.• Secretly fightsexual, he loves getting gritty in an all-out brawl, but loses matches quite often due to forcibly restraining himself.• Has a very unusual sense of fashion, preferring neon pinks and purples as compliments to black, frequently donning leather garments, and gelling his hair.


Skills and Abilities

• Most often uses a double-ended glaive, but is skilled in the use of Sage Nouliths as well as a Warrior Axe• Capable of consuming souls, and inheriting skills and abilities from them• Talented as a Goldsmith, capable of crafting and creating arcane artifacts of surpassing quality• Dangerously intelligent, even if he sometime seems to lack common sense or make stupid decisions• Very high degree of superhuman strength and agility to assist in combat or parkour




Zeus
Elakha


"The Cyber Cat"

A genius Keeper who, through a fascination with Allagan Technologies, self-experimented to gain physical enhancements.


Gallery



Backstory

Originally born to a Keeper tribe, he was an expert at physics and devices, but was looked down upon by his peers. He hated being around people he considered incompetent and privately embarked on repeated expeditions to Dalamud's Talons to retrieve Allagan Technologies. Through trial and error, he found a way to access the contents of their tomestones, and taught himself to read, learning as much as he could about their languages.His greatest find was an Allagan Information Repository (AIR) node. Overtly furious at the generalized Keeper culture having a propensity for physical pursuits over mental, he fled his group at a young age to research technologies in secret. Fervently following the works of Aulus Sas Arvina, an Imperial Researcher, as well as the technologies of Sharlayan and Garland Ironworks, he attempted to use Soul Extraction to implant himself in the body of an Allagan clone.Unfortunately, the disparity between his original self and new Allagan self caused his new body to seize up, and his organs to fail one by one. Though replaced with artificially crafted versions, Zeus requires the presence of an advanced life-support suit to keep him heart beating, until he can try again.


Personality, Traits, RP Hooks

• A terrible combatant, despite a genetically superior body. A handful of angry farmers could beat him.• Allagan Grafts let him conduct levin to power both his suit, weapons, and life support, but faulty construction makes it so levin attacks AGAINST him causing the system to backfire spectacularly.• He’s not the nicest person, due to self-esteem issues. He can come across as belittling or arrogant amongst those he considers intellectual inferiors, but ultimately he just wants friends he can relate to.• Very strict when it comes to following rules and safety guidelines. Not afraid to speak his mind if he believes someone is taking unnecessary risks or violating laws.• Unbeatable at the Xaelic game of Kharaqiq. Player will not roll dice or acknowledge RNG when it comes to this game he is supposed to be an expert at. That said, this applies only to Kharaqiq, and if you throw a Triple Triad card at him he will collapse.• Has an Allagan Information Repository (AIR) node that follows him around. It has access to the information from every tomestone Zeus has ever read. He even got his name ‘Zeus’ from the name of his Alagan Researcher Idol described in a tomestone. His ability to understand Allagan technologies is exceedingly rare, and he does not go around sharing his expertise.• His original name is Zerus'to Elakha.


Skills and Abilities

• High physical attributes, but utter incompetence in their usage.• Equipped with several Allagan-Based weapons he constructed himself from scratch.• AIR node lets him process and read the information from Allagan Tomestones.• Blasts of Levin Magic cause his body to seize up temporarily.• Really good at designing Arcanima Runes, as it is like a magical programming language.• Equipped with an Allagan life support suit so he doesn't die.




Bido
Hhetsarro


"The Hammer"

A Hhetsarro in line to become the next leader of his clan, who forsook his duty and fled to avoid responsibilities.


Gallery



Backstory

Though he keeps the exact location of his homeland a secret, it is known to be somewhere in Shaolaani in Tural. When innovations began filtering into the small Hhetsarro community, it was expected that Bido would take over duties as leader of his small faction.Unfortunately for the presiding leader of the tribe who’d hoped that Bido would one day take over his duties and provide lots of grandkids, Bido was very gay since birth, and continues to be. As such, Bido ran far away, and does his best to never mention his clan, using his survival instincts and exemplary assets to forge his own (homosexual) path in life.


Personality, Traits, RP Hooks

• A fan of birds, with an Tuliyolalan Quetzal named ‘Pecker’ that he has trained to follow him around.• Can be mischievous and playful, and also tends to sometimes get people into trouble (including himself) with ideas that go very badly because he is overeager.• He doesn’t do this intentionally, but he has ‘rizz’ which makes him physically very desirable, even though he does his best to avoid making that a personality trait.• Horrible at gambling, and he has a startling propensity to lose his clothing at times.• There’s really not much else, this guy is incredibly vanilla, so please ruin his life.


Skills and Abilities

• His main form of combat involves an extremely large metal hammer that probably weighs a ton, which he swings around with skill.• Likewise talented with a bow, he is a skilled hunter, and fighter even without arrows.• He has some bardic talents but not those to the extent of what’s found in Gridania. He simply knows how to sing and play musical instruments.• He knows enough basic conjury to use wind and water spells, claiming his homeland is rich in the element of earth. He is not a dedicated healer, but he can use enough of the basics to be a healer in a party if need be.• Often wears extremely heavy plate armor, which slows him down, but renders him impervious to harm.• Physically strong but by no means superhuman, he is simply more physically robust than a typical Tia, bordering that of a Hyuran Highlander.




DEVI
CRYSTALSOUL


"The Expressionist"

A gigantic Xaela who was trapped in Yasulani when the Alexandrian Dome dropped. He learned the arts of Pictomancy and stayed young due to a voidsent pact.


Gallery



Backstory

After living a life full of curses and aetheric maladies, Devi went on vacation to Yasulani and ended up trapped for 30 years. A pact of immortality with a voidsent kept him young, but the conditions inside the Everkeep helped to correct his former fire aether imbalance, and gave him enough time to pursue a medical degree. Ever imaginative, Devi has taken up Pictomancy, but mostly enjoys the life of a retired father and medical professional.


Personality, Traits, RP Hooks

• He’s freakin’ gigantic, like at least 12 feet tall, and built like the hulk. We don’t ask how he and his husband ‘make it work’ but Tsuki seems quite pleased and content.• Cured of an imbalance towards fire, but doing so required Ice and Levin, leaving him more than capable of casting Thaumaturgy magics, but starved for Conjury magics. As a result healing spells are overly effective and tend to be like energy drink infusions.• Keeps alive ‘ye olden’ Xaelic traditions, and will never say no to Bokh, even though he is way too big to bokh effectively. He makes an intimidating opponent, but a slow one.• Adapted to life in Solution 9 to the point where he is no longer accustomed to living without modern conveniences.


Skills and Abilities

• Has some skill with Pictomancy, picked up from a Sharlayan Mage on Vacation who likewise ended up trapped in the dome.• Very large and physically strong, but compensated for by a significant lack of speed and dexterity.• Still remembers his skills of Eastern Style exorcisms and purification, which he has been practicing and improving ever since.• A licensed medical professional, but doesn’t often get to help heal people on account of not fitting through the door.• A consummate dad with all the traditional dad skills, including knowledge of technology taught by his husband, how to grill, and how to make terrible jokes.




Dae-geun Kang
(강 대근)


"The White Tiger"

A ronin Byakko fanboy and wandering exorcist eternally pursued by the time-ghost of a descendant trying to possess his body.


Gallery



Backstory

Born in Doma before the occupation, his father was one of the retainers to Lord Kaien. However, his father abandoned his post out of cowardice during the rebellion costing the lives of many people, and forever shaming the Kang family. Though Daegeun's father was eventually put to death by machinations of the Viceroy, Dae's spirit was broken, and he became a wandering exorcist and ronin.Sporadically throughout his life however, Dae was pursued by a strange ghostly figure he referred to as "The Onryo" which would slaughter and kill anyone who because too aware of its presence. Hoping to escape the Onryo, Dae fled to the west hoping it would not follow. He was not so lucky.

Spoiler Stuff

Time loops are bad.The Onryo is actually an inter-dimensional descendant of his eventual family bloodline, also named Daegeun Kang. (I'll be calling him FutureDae.) FutureDae was a researcher on the Ironworks Crystal Tower project from the aborted timeline where the Black Rose Calamity devastated the star, and the only way to save it was to retrofit the Crystal Tower to move across time and space.FutureDae was one of the leads on research of Alexander's time-bending powers, and helped utilize them create The Tycoon; an artificial time-traveling robot and the main control component in the Crystal Tower's systems. When FutureDae became aware that the project would create an alternate reality rather than saving the reality he was from, he went insane and attempted to shut down the project via murder. He was himself mortally wounded in the process, but in his final act was able to inflict damage to The Tycoon's Chronal manipulation systems, trapping FutureDae in an infinite loop of temporal stasis.FutureDae was eventually able to leave the Stasis Loops by hi-jacking the body of his ancestor (who I'll refer to as NewDae) a few years before the Calamity ever occurred. FutureDae in NewDae's body would eventually be dragged back into the loop by The Tycoon, perpetuating a infinite loop of infinite selves. However, the loop was eventually punctured when the Crystal Tower transferred successfully, letting the WoL prevent the Calamity. This act made the number of FutureDae's trapped in stasis finite, and gave them a chance to possess the last NewDae who would never have to experience the tragic apocalypse.


Personality, Traits, RP Hooks

• Polite and honest for the most part, and a little bit over-curious. (Maybe even a little bicurious.) He is a big man with big emotions that he wears on his sleeve• Staunchly loyal and determined to prove his worthiness. He is a devotee of the Kami, with his greatest praise being given to Benzaiten and the Great Auspice Byakko• He refers to himself as a ‘White Tiger’ in honor of his chosen Auspice• Friendly but secretive. He does not raise his voice and remains fickle but polite• In certain combat states he becomes a lot more wild and ferocious• I once did a personal /random roll to see how good he could cook and in one try I rolled a 999/999 with witnesses. So I will never let anyone forget that Daegeun Kang is a heckin' Eorzean Gordon Ramsey


Skills and Abilities

• Reasonably talented with eastern martial arts, and a passable swordsman. He was never formally trained, instead relying on katana techniques inherited from his father.• Has ninjutsu training, due to studies with the Tora clan, though they relied less on stealth and more on brute strength.• Owns a gunblade crafted using Ala Mhigan rubies. He had to answer several riddles to get his hands on those rubies, and it wasn't fun at all. He's competent with the weapon, but he doesn't rely on it.• Capable of using magic but not great at it. Most of his spells are debilitating in nature, inflicting Blind, Sleep, and Paralysis rather than damage.• Training with the aforementioned Tora clan allowed Dae to enter an Arcanist Trance known as 'Tiger Trance'. The trance envelops him in a thin layer of transfiguration aether which enhances his strength, speed, and senses. It also gives him cute cat ears and a cat tail.• Dae has a special piece of auracite on his necklace that lets him summon an incarnation of Byakko. Though the Auspice exists for real in Eastern Territories, the figure Dae summons is a primal much like how Ysale was able to summon Shive, but remained protected by the Echo.• Dae also has the echo, which is what lets him use his Tiger Trance and Byakko form without lingering results, aside from the immense aether cost.




Savage
Flame (NPC)


"The Immortal Flame"

I'm not sure how to describe him without spoilers so let's just say he's got problems and none of them are his fault.


Gallery



Backstory

Conceived during a blood ritual amongst wealthy Ul’Dahn elites, his soul before birth was traded into the service of a fire-aspected voidsent named Belial, in exchange for his family’s continued affluence. Serving as a constant ‘feedbag’ for Belial led to Savan being raised weak and often sickly, but fiercely combating his condition with an extreme physical wellness regimen. Recently Savan discovered the secret of his family’s sinister deal and has made it his goal to see them all put behind bars, and the demon slain.


Personality, Traits, RP Hooks

This is normal for him.• He has extreme ‘I can fix him’ vibes, but really there’s nothing that needs to be fixed, he’s not a badboy he just looks it• Someday wants to fight god.


Skills and Abilities

• A furious berserker style fighting method, which earns him the name ‘Savage’• Congenital Insensitivity to Pain, meaning he doesn’t feel pain• A loose form of ‘immortality’ provided by the voidsent he is connected to, in order for him to continue providing aether• Picks up new fighting styles alarmingly fast and has phenomenal physical strength• An affinity for fire magic offset by occasional periods where he lacks the aether to perform spells




Gale & Hail

Gallery



Backstory

Ishgardian natives born to the lower-upper class Brentmondt family, they had opportunities but not status. Galeneaux, and Hailefort Brentmondt joined the Temple Knights at a young age. Gale excelled at high-flying maneuvers and was initiated into the dragoon program, while Hail remained in the Temple Knights. Gale was on the short list of potential candidates to potentially succeed the Azure Dragoon, while Hail was attempting to become one of the Heavensward Knights.Unfortunately both brother had their dreams dashed as Gale, disillusioned by the actions of the Holy See during Nidhogg’s attack which demolished the Brume, left the Order of Knights Dragoon to pursue a career as a Sky Pirate. His actions were seen as traitorous, and Hail was expelled from the Temple Knights.Both brothers remain in very good standing with each other, agreeing that the actions of the Holy See were inexcusable, but without a place to utilize their skills, they eventually wound up at DWC to become the “Himbros”, a duo of Elezen recruits ready to fight the forces of evil.


Personality, Traits, RP Hooks

• Extremely skilled combatants, with Gale specializing in Lance techniques, while Hail uses the Sword and Shield. They were trained to use minimal force against human / friendly opponents, but against monsters, they go all out.• Exuberant and excitable, both are polite and quick to compliment people. Gale tends to be the more flirtatious of the two, and more likely to talk, while Hail is slightly more reserved, but also somehow dumber.• Gale does just about the right amount of boasting to be inspiring without seeming too arrogant. Hail has a motivational speech for every situation.• Both are fightaholics, and often gauge people by how interested they are in fighting them.• Gale has a habit of jumping everywhere with his dragoon skills, while Hail has to walk.


Skills and Abilities

• Both of the himbros have astounding strength and stamina, with Gale particularly in the legs, and Hail in the arms.• They both struggle with casting magics, despite having an affinity for restorative techniques. However, Gale has some talent with wind skills as a result of dragoon training, whereas Hail has ice skills through knight training.• Gale owns and resonates with a Sage Crystal he found left behind in the Dravanian Hinterlands post-exodus. He remains adamant that he is incapable of using Sage arms, despite a very strong resonation with the crystal, and a latent talent for somanoutics.• Hale owns and resonates with a White Mage Crystal he found left behind in an Amdapori outpost. He refuses to use the talents of the White Mage despite owning the crystal, preferring to stick to basic conjury practices.• Both brothers are awakened to dragon blood within, they can understand the dragon language without having the Echo. Their dragon abilities sometimes bleed through. Their laughs can sometimes sound like dragon roars, for example.• Gale has a very high resistance to fall damage, while Hail has a very high resistance to head trauma.• Gale owns a Manacutter of his own, but also has a kinship with a dragon named Huracan, one of Tiamat’s brood. Hail owns an Ishgardian Black Chocobo.




Nami
Oceanheart (NPC)


"The Ninja Pirate"

A Thavnairian sailor and Lominsan connoisseur who spent a life at sea in search of fame, treasure, and illusive immortality.


Gallery



Backstory

Though originally born in Thavnair to a fishing family, much of his life was spent onboard a boat. At a young age, while checking a fishing net, he found an unusual vase caught with the catch. While his aging father dismissed the item as ‘useless junk’, Nami cleaned it up and was able to sell it to a collector of Thavnairian artifacts for a modest finder’s fee. Though the act was mundane, it gave Nami an insatiable drive to seek adventure, danger, and of course treasure!As the years wore on, Nami eventually saw both of his parents peacefully pass away to old age and swore to never let it happen to himself. Though still in his prime, Nami recognizes his best years are running out fast and has started to get impatient and desperate for a solution. Hearing tales of voidsent, and their ability to resurrect after a demise, Nami has been moving in the more occult circles, in hopes the void might provide a solution. His path has led him to become an agent at DWC, a public voidsent hunting service.


Personality, Traits, RP Hooks

• A rough way of speaking (my ‘fake Lominsan pirate talk’), but a tendency to act pragmatic and easy going. Also talks a lot. A looooot.• Skilled sailor, knows everything there is to know about boats, however uuuuhhhh player does not, so if you ask a sailing question I will have to wiki it.• As an experienced adventurer he has a slew of unique skills he’s picked up from his time abroad, such as the ability to use ninja mudras to some modest effect.• Has an absolutely gorgeous ass, and yes, I feel like this should definitely be a character-defining trait on his card.• A skilled combatant, but mostly against non-human opponents.• Amazing at swimming. And by amazing, I mean it is amazing how POORLY he swims, like WOW you’d think he’d be great at it, but nope.• Always enjoys being ‘helpful’ even though nothing he says is very helpful.• He gets pissy when people call him a pirate.• Owner and Captain of the ship ‘Callipygia’ which is in reference to the term callipygian, meaning shapely buttocks.
