The character you made

Do you have any other screenshots of him?

I actually need to redo screenshot because i'm not entirely satisfied with the actual result. So you can see that later. The armor itself you have seen is Eden 4 Savage, colored in jet black, with Omega 10 Savage Gauntlet to stay in the "Silver" color that goes on the metal part.

Apparently I somehow made my dude look like the angriest mofo on the planet without even trying to. ....Suppose it kinda fits.

Sometimes the angriest looking characters give the best hugs!

Since that was my first mmorpg where you got to play all jobs in 1 character, I wanted to make sure it would be a design that fits most if not all to a certain extend (as I knew I'd want to play them all haha)

Ever since I've seen this promo art though, I wanted to create my character based on this image

At that time I was actually torn between the female or male design since they both looked really nice but ended up male this time as I played female on my last game to switch it up.

I know - who plays a human in a fantasy world but that's just what felt the most average to fit all jobs at that time but he just captured the hero adventurer essence the best for me personally

I also get a tiny bit tired of all the miqo\\'te stereotypes, but those exist for every race so... oh well.

Apologies - didn't intend to imply you were being toxic at all. Simply saying that we have opposite viewpoints :)

I can imagine sugar would do it favor, though I would need to do more research on this specific tea. Some teas benefit from lemon/lime juice or some other additives (or none. Some like their tea without anything else). Oh! fun tea fact! Some teas change color from additives or oxidizing. Butterfly pea tea changes color if you add lemon juice. Butterfly pea tea starts out a deep blue and will turn pink when lemon juice is added. Burdock tea starts out yellow when first brewed. Once it oxidizes it goes from a light yellow to emerald green. I have drank burdock tea and it tastes strongly of cucumber (said to have health benefits. But honestly? The best benefit is the water! I didn't really like burdock tea when I brewed a fresh, prepared root that I harvested... For some reason I do not like the flavor of cucumbers).

Valentine's day also has a lot of romantic undertones. I wonder how she feels about that. Honestly though, yes the chocolate has to be my favorite part of the holiday too! Especially the day after when they go on sale X3
I love how Viera names function. It is the ultimate flexibility. It lead me to see some silly names that made me smile while I do roulettes.

You are a tea afficionado! I definitely need to step up my game. With this knowledge you have given me, I shall have an excellent time drinking my first cup rosemary tea. c:

I'll also try out the other teas you mentioned and do an oxidation test. I've had burdock tea before, but I drank it straight (bleh-it's disgusting, but the nutrients and nourishment are great benefits).

Well, Kukuru isn't much of a romantic, thanks to her lifestyle as an adventurer. Like, she's had a wandering eye every now and then (she has a weakness for male Au Ra), but she takes romance rather seriously, so falling in love with someone means she will have to settle down with them one day, unless they are willing to compromise her nomadic lifestyle (or join her on her adventures). With this thought in mind, Kukuru has had moments of romantic feelings for her comrades, specifically G'raha Tia (it started to develop when they first met during the Crystal Tower arc). She is uncertain if his feelings for her are any different from a starstruck fan rather than true romantic interest, so she has never broached the subject. Estinien is also another option, although their comfy brother/sister relationship (Azure Dragoon solidarity!) is too grand to disrupt.

Kukuru and Zenos hold/held tumultuous affection for each other, which is apparent in his dialogue towards and about her alone. Whether it was romantic, sexual, or something else entirely in anyone's guess. I'll leave it at that, for fear of going into spoiler territory.

With all of that said, Kukuru celebrates all forms of love during Valentione's Day, not wanting any of her friends or acquaintances to feel left out. She's a talented enough culinarian to whip up a batch of homemade chocolates for them, with customized messages and symbols on top.

I'm so tempted to make a male Viera alt with a silly or cute name. I need to get more into roleplay on FFXIV.

nice! Nothing wrong with playing a human in a fantasy setting! Sometimes it is good to try putting the mundane in a less-than mundane setting for any number of reasons. I do appreciate how this game lets me play any job I want on a single character- I plaid 2 jobs at most on my main and kind of regret that so on this alt I decided to try all the jobs. Definitely helps with utility (maybe I want the instant queue, or maybe I want to purely dedicate myself to damage. Maybe I want to be a dps for hunts. Maybe I want the bulk of a tank during msq instances, etc). I really like your lance! Could you tell me what it is?

May I suggest rosebud mint tea? Rose tea is great- very aromatic. Though not for everyone because it is heavier on the floral notes. Though, personally, if I want a tea to taste sweeter without too much added sugar I like to use rose water (the cooking kind. There is a certain brand but I forget what it is called. Expect a clear bottle with the label being blue). I hear orange blossom water is also amazing, but I haven't been able to get my hands on it. By biggest tip is to add small amounts at a time. Both have the ability to make your tea more bitter if too much is used.

I can imagine how romance can be intimidating to really go for if it implies settling down. Though, romance doesn't need to mean that! As you said, she would likely fit best with someone who would suit her lifestyle. G'raha would be a great option for that. Though, that is up to you- his feelings and motivations can be difficult to read at times (though, maybe it could be a mix of both? If so, they may need to spend time establishing a healthy dynamic if they were to get together). I love Estinien- such a fun character. If she wants to get closer (in any sense. Maybe closer dragoon bond?) she can always give him dried squid snacks.

What was her favorite kind of chocolate?
Chocolate comes in many flavors. From the cocoa butter rich white chocolate (you haven't had good white chocolate until you have ditched hersheys and spent more money on the kind very rich in cocoa butter. Remember to read ingredients and know that the ones listed first have the highest quantities!) to the rich, deep and flavorful semi-sweet dark chocolate. Or maybe the sweet middling milk chocolate. Of course, there is much, much more to it than that. Ever tried dark chocolate with roasted coffee beans inside? Or fruity raspberry and chocolates. Nuts are also quite classic as is a caramel filling. There is more too- varieties of chocolate make a big difference. It can influence the flavor undertones. One may be more nutty, another taste like there are berries infused inside it. Either way- What is her favorite chocolate? Was there any chocolates she made the stood out amongst the other years she made treats for her friends? (an example would be, one year a culinarian made particular orange-flavored chocolates that their friends still talk about to this day)

I didn't add fancy tatoo or anything like this, because it would be overwhelming on an Au Ra, so I rather keep it simple yet stylish.

All my glams are mostly Armors. You'll never see my character in anything else than something suitable for a fight. That's just how he should look ^^.

That's the spear from the Shiva weapon line (true diamond spear) - Despite being pretty old, they are some of my favourites as they look like conjured weapons out of magic - kinda like a spellblade type of job and can highly recommend getting some of them
