I'm sure I commented this before, but I can't find it in the old posts, so I 'll comment again. and Add all my Mains, and important Alts.


For starters, the Post ID name: "GothicShark" Well it's legally my Middle Name ( My Legal Name is R**** Mary Gothic Shark W**** I put Gothic Shark into my legal name as I was doing a legal name change as a part of my transition. ) Gothic is my aesthetic, music, and way of thinking about life the universe and everything. Shark relates to my time in the USMC when I was in Force Recon in the Early 90s I was a "Shark in the Water" and it became a nickname at that time.

Character Names:

Most my Characters have been named Mary or a version of Mary ie Mariel, Marielle, Marhiel, Marhielle...etc. This relates to why my middle name is Mary. Both my Grandmothers were Mary. It's simple and I wanted to give the maternal side of my family more credit.


Main Characters:


Marielle Sansoleil
https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodes...acter/11396447
Mary Sunless. My Elezen was named using Elezen naming conventions. Her first name is the overly complex French version of Mary, and her Last name is from French Sans Soleil. Sans = Without, Soleil= Sun.

Mary Jigoku

Mary Hell. My Au Ra, Mary -> Mariel -> Marhiel -> Mary Hell -> Mary Jigoku (Hell in Japanese).

Caitlyn'bhump Aliapoh

Ok this is a bit more complicated. Long ago in an MMO lost in time City of Heroes, I had made an Alt that was purely for random fun, I closed my eyes hit Random 3 times, hit accept name used a random name method. (Head to keyboard) The character was a black skinned Cat Girl in a bright Yellow Pirate Costume while being a Katana Scrapper. Jokenly I RP'd her as a Space Pirate Amazon Ninja Catgirl aka (S.P.A.N.C.) yes the Silly Card Game. For fun any game with catgirls afterwards I would make her as a house Joke. But last year as Cabin Fever started, I decided to write a fan fiction in FFXIV using Bhump as the MC. So I decided to make a Lore fitting name. So I renamed Bhump to Caitlyn Aliapoh, putting Bhump as her Nick Name. Aliapoh as it's the most common Keeper last name, and Caitlyn because "Cat" is the common nick name for Caitlyn. So you can call her "Cat Bump" as her nick name.

RP: She's an Isekai transgender Catgirl. Born in 2030 in the Bay Area, to North African and Latin parents, Azeem Garcia lived in a world that was dying, the Phantoms had all but killed most life on Earth. Azeem went to bed one night with his husband and woke the next day in a wagon heading to Ul'dah.

Ashett Tholl

I wanted a Dwarf from the first, I wanted an NB RP Dwarf from the First, I wanted them to be able to enter the Dwarf house, and do a proper Lali-ho! Their name was specifically designed to be Lore Correct and gender neutral. Helmets on, Ale is consumed, adventure awaits.


Saroirse Ban'draoithe
https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodes...cter/22837683/
Saoirse = Irish for Freedom, Ban-Draoithe = Irish for Wise Woman. The idea is her name means she is a Free Wise Woman. RP - Female Irish James Bond.
