Evolution of your character

[Rayeda]

I don't have pictures, but i think my characters evolution has been something like this. Miqo'te -> Hyur(midlander) -> Elezen -> Hyur(highlander) -> Lalafell -> Miqo'te -> Lalafell -> Au Ra -> Lalafell -> Hyur(highlander) -> Lalafell

I think i have found my final form now though <,<

2.0:

I started off as a Lalafell. It was fun while it lasted but seeing crotch and butt all the time got tiresome.

Two months later in 2.0:

I became a Miqo'te! I kept the grey and red eyes due to the fact that I had them since beta. I kinda didn't like being a Miqo'te after like two days because they're way too common. I honestly don't know why I even switched to one.

2.4:

I'm a FemRoe! I kept seeing FemRoes around the game and I spent a ton of time in the Show Your Roe thread that I became enamoured with their beauty. I had just came back to the game after being gone for nearly a year and buyable fantasias were finally a thing so I bought myself one. I chose Hellsguard initially because my husband is one so I thought he'd like it. That didn't last very long though...

2.5:

Turns out I hated being Hellsguard. Who knew? I'm a sucker for unnatural skintones so I had to go Sea Wolf. Grey skin always seemed so pretty to me so naturally I became a grey goddess. Took my husband some time to get used to but he loves it now.

3.0:

And this is me now! I made some minor tweaks to myself because I didn't feel like I was perfect. I ditched the grey eye and just kept the red one and became blind in the other eye. I got muscley as well because who doesn't love muscley babes? Sadly you can't see it in that picture. The only thing I ever change now is my hair but I'm pretty sure I'm gonna be sticking to my Minfillia hair for a while. Sometimes, though, I feel like changing faces for a certain facial tattoo. Maybe I will some day.

Even though I've never changed my main character in anyway, I did create an alternate to be his younger version.


My main character has always been a veteran type character with a grizzled look of experience.


I initially was going to make him bald, but then figured there would many characters like that, so I picked a look that I figured rarely anyone would have, so Beatles mop top with ugly old guy face and Amish beard it was. It turns out bald characters are very rare, but I ended up liking my character the way it is. There hasn't been any new hairstyle I like, so I just kept the same look since 2.0. Highlander is just the only race I physically thinks looks cool, but 90+% always use the same 2 faces, so my least used face looks different from most, especially when I see someone with it, they usually have a full beard. I don't think I've seen another character that looks like me in game yet, so that is good.

Snip.

You deffo nailed the unique thing, I've not seen a twin to yours before. :3

Whoops turns out I had one more change in me! A drunken suggestion from a certain someone lead to me going pale. I decided to change my good eye to purple because I was tired of the red after a while. Decided to also go blonde because the black hair looked a little strange to me with the pale skin. Honestly? I thought I'd regret it and would fantasia back to grey after a day. It's been roughly two weeks and I'm 100% sure I'm not going back to grey.

3.55b:


I went highlander! For like a week... My boyfriend tricked me into it I swear! Okay but not really. I went highlander with him when he did it because I wanted to try something different. Turns out different felt too weird and I didn't like it. My friend bought me a Fantasia (bless her because she is so kind) because I complained I didn't enjoy being small and she missed me being Roe.


Present Day:



Back to being my giant, pale, purple self! I love being a Roegadyn so I'll definitely never ever change again. Well, I'll probably change my hair a bunch like I do now already :P

Man now I WISH I had screenshot everything I made.

First I went AuRa


Not satisfied after getting lala envy I tried tweaking my AuRa every which way and came out with a lilac haired/violet eyed AuRa but lala envy won so I went that route.

First I did a pouted lip green eyed purple haired lala but I STILL wasn't satisfied until I ended up with a pretty teal eyed lala:



After the new hairstyles came out I changed her hairstyle to the one I currently have but I ended up paying the aesthetician 12,000 gil because while I thought I wanted a new hair color I wasn't happy with how they looked in the field so I finally went back to the hair color that kept me happy for so long.



I used 4 or 5 fantasias to create a character I really loved. I fear what will happen to my wallet if I ever get tired of being a lala.

[Gaddes]

My elezen/elvaan in FFXI was named Gaddes, and I wanted my character in FFXIV to be the continuation of that character, so I made sure to try and make him as close to the FFXI version as possible, which meant choosing the closest ponytail and making him a tan duskwight to match the XI skintone. I also gave him the Ronfaure surname to honor his roots. (I gave him a scar to mark the harrowing journey from Vana'diel to Eorzea)



Unfortunately, my XI character was a THF main and there wasn't a THF in XIV at the time, so I opted to be a PLD. I figured I was already well-versed in enmity control, so it made sense.
As time went on, I selected slightly longer hairstyles to indicate his growth away from the old XI ponytail, until I ended on the luxurious male long-haired hairstyle that I use today:

[Selli]

This is the first screenshot I have of Selli, she original started out with red hair, though. (I originally took this picture to show my boyfriend when he came home later. I didn't know what the faeries were, so I asked him how people got one, lol.)



Decided I didn't like the red or the blue, so I changed my hair to blonde/pink.



And then they came out with this hairstyle, omg.



And probably one of the biggest changes of all was my character marrying my boyfriend's character, and going from Selli Esylenna to Selli Noblus. (Why we didn't do that originally when we've been together for 4 years, I will never understand! >.<)
