The character you made

[Axxion]

My rotten brat. I make them in every game.

I lied to you not, your rotten brat looks like he belongs in fear and hunger

even though the ginger options can be quite limited (hard to explain it fully, but I guess the limited hair selection is similar to how they skipped violet as a option) I often find the shades of ginger used very nice on the eyes. Also, I really like the grinmore you have there.

The grimoire is called Ethica. It's a very pretty one, with butterflies and flowers. The type of drop you'd expect from a place like Dohn Mheg... except it drops from Castrum Abania?? It has never made sense that the pretty Fairy-looking book drops from a Garlean castle, while Dohn Mheg's weapons barely look fae at all.

As for the ginger options, I think it just stuck because how pretty I think orange and green can look together, and it's not a combo I see too often in XIV. I've dyed my hair a couple times IRL, but the eye color I'd need contacts, and I hate contacts.

Maybe the Garleans stole it? They steal land, so they likely steal pretty things too.

Also I too hate contacts lol This is why I wear glasses instead. Also very true. I usually see cherry red hair instead. In all fairness, cherry red is a pretty hair color.

Edit: Read the comment below me and did a short search. I think the weapon you are thinking of is Aurora

Dohn Mheg's weapons are recolours of the Abania weapons. I think you're getting your dungeons crossed somewhere.

thread bump! I wanna love hearing about other's characters ^^

Realizing this after years has made me depressed...

Oh no, Aurora is for SMN. I was talking about Ethica, which is the SCH one. Then again, it's just 4 recolors of a single design for the Abania and (as I just realized) Dohn Mheg gimoires.

I just want more actual Fae-looking things.

I'm glad we do have some fae themed items, though more is always welcomed! I love it when I queue into roulettes and run into someone who has a fae themed weapon with some pretty light effects

Yeah, the weapons from Castrum Abania are amazing! I ran that dungeon so many times just to get them all, especially the paladin shield. Relics schmelics, the shield from Castrum Abania is the best shield in the whole game.

ooh pretty! I am not sure if that is the best shield, but to be fair I haven't played with shields a in while. That is certainly a very pretty one! Taking a closer look, I appreciate how it has birds in the front with flowers. I love flowers and birds so it certainly is a win in my book. Though, I am curious, is there a dyeable version?

I haven't done much RP with my character, but he started out similar to the Midlander WoL but with long hair (to pattern more of myself into the game), but eventually when I met Ardbert I was surprised how our faces looked similar minus eye color, and facial hair.

Eventually I changed over to the WoL hairstyle, but still with a similar face to Ardbert.

When I got to the part with Hades and Ardbert I popped a fantasia to make myself completely into Ardbert when that certain event happened (for my headcanon reasons).

When Endwalker happened, the only two things I changed was adding the new facial hair, and a scar on my cheek (yes the WoL in the Endwalker trailer has a scar on his face, but its faint and hard to spot).

So basically my character is the combination of the WoL & Ardbert.
