Evolution of your character

[SethC]

This thread aught to be interesting... Don't mind if I dooooooooo
(Also, some of the screens may be of doubtful quality, considering I changed computers at some point and I had to take them from Steam. Sorry about that)

So. I'm not a XIV veteran, in the sense I started up like a lot of people somewhere during 2.0 and 2.1.
At the time, Seth freshly arrived in Eorzea as a Maleqo'te.

(I warned about poor quality screenshots >.>)

I stayed that way for about a month and a half.
Then I got the free phantasia, and a friend who gave me enough reasons to use the thing.

Aaaaand chug, chug, chug...

...That's a good thing that Seth is sort of a gender-neutral name, come to think of it.
At the time, I kept a few traits from my previous appearance: the black & gray hair, which became white, the grey-ish eyes, and the skin tone. And the ugly-butt armor.

That was my to-go style for quite some time, only changing every now and then of hairdo or colors.
I fixed myself on a definite face style for the wedding of my character:


A few days later, I used a phantasia. Not for a new appearance per se, but... Let's just say that my friend and I decided to play a prank on our FC mates and switched our appearances for a few days. (Just to be clear: I took a Phantasia to look like him at the time, and he did the same to look like me. We didn't switched accounts or anything >.>)

So I was looking like this.


Which almost immediately became this when I decided to... customize it for something more to my liking.

(By the way, the friend I was doing the body-swap thing with took that slight modification of his physique as an authorization do the same with mine. I was not happy with the result.)

Soon enough, I switched back to my FeMiqo'te form, only fine-tuning a few details regarding the eye color and such.


And then, for some reasons unknown to myself, I decided to make Seth a Lalafellin for a few weeks. It actually became quite fitting as well: the 2.5 Part 2 hit home around that time, and the Sultana being a Lalafell as well, I found it quite pleasantly concording for some reason.


I went back to MQ'T before Heavensward came home tho, and stayed somewhat the same way I did before aside from, again, fine tuning for the eyes. So I'll spare you the screenshot.

Also, when I completed the Vault and... well, the event taking place here, I thought it was fitting to remove all the make-up, switching back to something more subtle on that front, and I removed the front gem as well after clearing up the storyline. It was no time for extravagance, after all.


I did another switch to Lalafellin when Alexander came in, then, again, switched back to Miqo'te. I'm basically circling those 2 appearances every now and then.
Now, compared to before, the eyes are red, the white hair became red as well, and with some adequatly fitting lance and armor thrown into the mix. That "Crimson" family name aught to correspond to something after all !
...And now that I look at it, I didn't took any screen close enough when I had that armor. Soooo, duellist mantle. That's the thing I'm wearing nowadays anyways.


As of today, I'm back as Lalafellin again, and will probably switch out to MQ'T again when my phase is off. I stayed mostly the same way all the time, and I reckon my character is not the most original-looking of the book... But I kinda grew on her after all.

Could the expressiveness of the emotions with the ears and tail. Certainly the Au Ra have joined in on the tail club, but none emote as well as miqo'te with them adorable ear movements.

That said, I still adore my dragonman as much as my man'qote. >_>
