Mine is an aspiring superhero in the same vein as the Go Go Posing Rangers, assisting other adventurers and pursuing bounties while decked out in flashy glamours. In her spare time, she also raises chocobos. Her personal steed is a tamed Red Chocobo.
I wish I could say I had one.
I was really stupid to use my real name on my main char. I later changed it to ShizukuOikawa which is a cute attractive cow-girl from something I don't know, but plenty of adult stuff out there for her character, she just happened to be a Viera though and not a cow, and I realized that bunny ears can't use helmets, which really disappointed me, so I changed to something cooler, Dark Willy lol. I used him for most of the storyline, but I've been really eager to play a Lalafell, and I made a few Lalafell alts but this game isn't exactly alt friendly, so I just said screw it and as much as I loved Dark Willy, I changed to Little Allison lol.
There's not much to say about her, she's just a lil mage adventurer that somehow got all kinds of power and knows all these people as she randomly appeared... it's kind of weird.. I wish I didn't name change constantly but I always find reasons to play something different for my main, and just can't stand alts here because all your progress is saved on one character, unlike WoW where all your achievements are spread throughout your characters.
Once upon a time there was a magic pumpkin.
It was growing in a patch with many ordinary pumpkins tended by an old Lalafell in Gridania. When the pumpkins were in season people started to come to the pumpkin patch and look at the pumpkins and sometimes take one away, but no one took the magic pumpkin.
There were a few familiar faces around the pumpkin patch, but the magic pumpkin was quite fond of a Miqo'te that liked to come into the pumpkin patch to relax and read. Sometimes it would read aloud to the pumpkin, and though the pumpkin couldn't talk to them, it liked to believe that it helped bring the Miqo'te peace.
However, as All Saints Wake drew near the pumpkin patch became sparser and sparser, yet no one went home with the magic pumpkin. Eventually, people stopped coming all together and the magic pumpkin began to miss the Miqo'te quite fiercely.
One day, the old Lalafell farmer picked all the pumpkins left in the patch, and brought them inside to turn into pumpkin pie. However, when he ate the pie made from the magic pumpkin it possessed him.
The magic pumpkin, now an 89 year old Lalafell, went out in search for his friend the Miqo'te. It took a long time, but eventually the pumpkin caught up with the Miqo'te in Limsa. When he found them he burst into tears saying, "I'm so happy to see you again."
Bewildered, the Miqo'te asked, "I'm sorry, but who are you?"
The magic pumpkin /posed in front of them and said, "don't you recognize me? Iiiiiiiiiiit's Meeeee!"
(Iiiiiiiiiiit's Meeeee is my in game character name, and the Miqo'te is my IRL fiancé's character)
I am a can that got sick of getting g kicked around so now I do the kicking.
A reincarnation of a long forgotten deity who governs over time and space that resides within Lunarian Capital---reborn in a body of sickly, young man of ill fate. Having eventually remembered the true intent of his celestial obligation at one point in his life, he began to concoct a devious plan which involves the well-being of his mortal friends. As a celestial, humanely interaction are almost always amusing to him. Conversely he also knows nothing about the value of one's life.
During one of his final experimentation, (un)fortunately something gone terribly wrong that he was spirited away.... to the brand new, unfamiliar world of Hydaelyn! What's even more surprising, due to how different the law of universe behaves between his home world and in Hydaelyn, he has now taken an entirely different physical form---becoming a doppelganger of the friend his mortal counterpart had always been the closest to!(and albeit a bit obsessed with). The only remaining capability that remains intact is manipulating his own age and it's not even something he can utilize every now and then in this new world!
Stranded, alone, and powerless without the knowledge he supposed to retain from his home world, he's now forced to wander aimlessly in the world he's unfamiliar with. Fortunately he also inherited the strong willpower his closest friend possess and thus he had managed to survive so far, perhaps until time fixes his predicament and send him back to his home world...
And that's why I love being middie and highlanders lmao
Her mother was a Viera adventurer, and they were doing a simple quest of gathering herbs. However her birth mother disappeared. She was but a child at the time and was lost in the forest alone. A week later she ended up being picked up by a merchant when she tried to steal some of the food he had. Feeling sympathetic he ended up taking her to a friend of his. An Elezan courtesan named Adeline who worked at a brothel. This woman was the daughter of a fallen house of nobility and became a courtesan to live and the merchant was a repeat client of hers and would do her favors from time to time. When Adeline and my oc met each other they instantly connected. She took the little girl in and over time became like mother and daughter.
They both lived in the brothel so many of the workers and the owners were like a large family to her, when her mother was working one of the other workers or brothel owners would look after her and spend time with her. Her new mother would often tell her stories of heroes and how she always wanted to meet a hero. One such story was about an old myth of a woman who saved countless lives by the name of Valkyrie and it was Adeline's favorite hero story.
Several years later Adeline grew ill. It was a sickness that rarely shows up in those of her profession and it would inevitably take her life. My character would read to Adeline her favorite stories when Adeline could no longer leave her bed. She then promised with tear filled eyes that she will become a hero herself, one that her mother could be proud of so that her mother could say she really met a hero in the afterlife. After a short time passed, her mother died from the illness. The owners of the brothel allowed her to place a grave not to far away overlooking a beautiful view of a sea of trees. On the grave stone the name Adeline Valkyrie was engraved. She decided that she would take on the name of Valkyrie and it would be a shared name between mother and daughter and their favorite hero connecting them always. Then set off for Gridiania to become an adventurer. (neither of them had last names, one likely hid it out of shame while the other forgotten since she was so young)
sorry for bad grammar, i'm half asleep while typing this.
Uhh.. I got big axe and I love smashing things with it.
Simple as.
If I knew anything about Thavnair lore, I'd love to make one and maybe try RP. I just don't wanna fall into the "orphaned/ rough streets" backstory trap. It's like a handwave bandaid fix for a missing piece of knowledge (how the WoL arrived in their city) rather than create something interesting/ impactful.
just some guy
I'd like to have a backstory but I have fantasia'd so much that a back story can't exist other than I'm a shapeshifter.
That said I like thinking that my characters as a Hrothgar was part of a group if refugees who fled their home in Ilsabard and made their way to Ala Mhigo only for Ala Mhigo to fall to the Garleans and thus being forced to flee again but instead of heading to Thanalan he headed to La Noscea instead.
However once I race change to Viera the story will be that as a teen he got separated from his squad and was found by some researchers looking for vieras or any traces of their culture. After being found they took him to Rabanaste where he was studied as well as taught and raised. After some time it was decided that he was to go to Sharlayan where he would be studied much more extensively and be taught on a more grander scale. However on their way to Sharlayan the ship was attacked and he washed up on the shores of La Noscea.
Just your regular, everyday murderhobo.
She started her journey as a Miqo'te adventurer. Unfortuneately, the constant fights against primals, ghosts and eikons left their mark. After getting in contact with a supernatural being, she got infected by Aetherial metastasis. A rare desease where harmful aether spread within body, slowly damaging it over time.
After 2 years, she found a way to slowing down the process and gain more time: by transfering her aether into a dead Au Ri body. But since then, any of her tries to find a cure failed.
Until she arrived in the First. After killing more and more Lightwarden, her desease slowed down every time and almost stopped completely because of the nature of light aether. But as a side effect, she got somehow addicted to light aether and the presence of Sin Eaters. Soon she began to realize that this state wont last forever. The Scions wanted to eliminate all light, including hers. In her despiration, she seeked an secret audience with the only one who may help her: Vauthry.
Vauthry offered her to turn her into a Half-Sin Eater-being like he is. In return, in case of his death, she will act as his backup-plan. Knowing it will be too risky to turn her into a Sin Eater right now, he just gave her instructions instead, saying that she will make a decision sooner or later... .
After losing all of the light aether during the events in the First and the reconstruction of the Empty, her condition worsens. Making a hard decision, she followed the instructions Vauthry gave her and became a Sin Eater hybrid.
Since then she began to consume and collect aether to keep herself alive and prepare to bring back Vauthry and rebuild his paradise for everyone who is willing to follow the Sin Eaters. In the Source.
My character is a WoW dwarf piloting an elaborate mechanical suit. That's why he mostly nods and emotes instead of actually talking; a single "Interest ya in a pint?" would blow his cover almost immediately.
His mission: To find the Shadowbringer so that he or she can bring the Shadow back to the Shadowlands, since Blizzard forgot to add it during development.
Thus far the mission has been a failure, as he is trying and failing to keep a low profile due to the majority of NPCs believing that he is the Shadowbringer (despite doing a lot more light removing than shadow bringing). However not all is lost, as his secondary objective of simply making a new life for himself in Eorzea is going swimmingly.
Parents are from Ishgard, left ages ago.
That's about all I got.
A Plainsfolk immigrant trying to apply for Dwarven citizenship.
Trying to start a outdoor camping business. Join me in my quest for cozy tents, warm bonfires and cool scooters.
I have a feeling I was created just to be controlled by someone that wants to watch me bounce and jiggle pleasingly when I cast spells.
My current main was actually first written as an antagonist for an RP arc I ran for a previous FC I was in. She was a war orphan in gyr abania taken in by a rogue sharlayan mage that broke off after the Hinterlands colony was abandoned, meant to be a weapon of war against the empire after being augmented by less than ethical magical experiments.
The FC group eventually defeated her, but decided to spare her and give her a second chance, stripping her of the powers that had made her dangerous and unstable. And I liked the character enough that I kept her around and eventually made her my RP main. She's currently trying to live a relatively normal life, having to adjust to her new status quo. Grappling with the guilt over the things she's done, and torn between wanting to start over but also feeling like she can't, that one day her past is going to catch up with her and the new life she's been bulding will come tumbling down around her.
Funny thing was she wasn't originally intended to be a normal 'player character' but just a bad guy for the FC to clash with a few times and then defeat. But I ended up really liking the character. It helped some I think that a lot of her instability came from circumstances she was forced into, with the real villain of the arc arguably being her adopted mother that did said experiments on her in the first place. So while she wasn't totally innocent, the party felt like she deserved a second chance and I ran with it. Not a character concept I would have made if I was making a new PC from scratch, but it happened to work out well here.
Son of a garlean soldier and a hrothgar woman, raised near the border between Landis and Garlemald proper. Was trained as one of their conscripts and fought alongside the IVth Legion during the war to capture Bozja, earning him citizenship. Left shortly after and began wandering as he missed seeing the bizarre and incredible sights with the IVth Legion. Thinks of Ishgard as home due to how similar it is to Garlemald and Landis.
I prefer to keep my character's origins vague and fluid so i can just entertain myself by adding new things to it when new lore is available. Don't like to glue myself to a specific backstory.
However, for this character in particular i did have a somewhat elaborate passing thing to justify not being "Tia" or "Nunh" that i made up in my spare time.
I made him the result of an affair with one of the A tribe women and a passing moon keeper male, who was later exiled as a young child when the affair came to light (he looked like nobody else in the village, it was obvious, and the Nunh wasn't happy about it). His older brother joined him, and they travelled far north together, far away from any seeker tribe, as seekers are notoriously not fans of the cold. They took on the surname of Snow, to signify their new life in the north, and their refusal to be a part of another tribe's customs. They did, however, keep the A prefix to spite their old tribe.
In their travels, it was found that i had quite the affinity for manipulating aether. So we went on together to Sharlayan (Dravania) to find somebody to help me hone this talent safely. The older brother insisted that i could be somebody important someday if i got the right training. However, none were very forthcoming as a tutor to two penniless, tribeless miqo'te, and so for a while i subsisted on what knowledge i could glean from beginner basics books in their public library. In the meanwhile, the older brother tried to pick up a trade and make some money for the both of us to get me further education.
This process was slow, and by the time we started making any headway, the events preceding the 7th Umbral Era unfolded, and Sharlayan packed up and returned to the motherland. We did not follow. Instead, my brother decided that we should stay in Eorzea, and that Sharlayan was getting us nowhere. It had just started snowing endlessly in Coerthas, so my brother decided there as a lot of money to be made hunting for meats and pelts to sell to the newly frigid elezen. Using the money he made from this, he sent me down southward to learn magic from one of the other city states. As it turns out, Ul'dah was in desperate need of fresh Thaumaturges, so they weren't picky about who they taught, so then [insert intro sequence to Ul'dah and all of the events that followed]
Eventually in my travels, i had learned about Conjury, the Arcanima, Astrology, Red Magic... Learning forbidden arts like White and Black magic, and the lost Allagan art of Summoning, and also became some sort of hero or whatever. The older brother remains rather successful in his busniness of selling pelts and meats up in Coerthas to this day, and is very proud of his little brother.
This, however, is all going out the window when i become a bun, a shame because i was a bit fond of it. That's life though. Who knows though, i could go back some day.
I always kept two headcannons, one as the Warrior of Light, and none as not.
In either case, Lin is a Veteran of Cartneau who was affected pretty deeply by the fact that all of her friends had forgotten her or had gone missing and been forgotten, and that hampered her skills and performance as it was until her determination to help in any way she could regardless. This is about the time of the last quest in ARR when the veil was lifted for all Veterans and depending on whether or not she was the WoL ended up continuing to work for the Scions or the Adventurer's guild respectively.
Before that she's a hunter that grew up in the Twelveswood with a wandering Miqo'te hunter who traded with Gridania - whom adpoted her as a child. She grow fond of the spear as her hunting implement and showed strong talents resembling dragoons before even receiving her first Soulstone. After the death of her adopted father she joined the Adventurer Guild and the rest is history.
