🎁 A bottle of 1000 year old wine

Thanks so much for sending this in!

Send me a 🎁 + an object for my muse’s reaction to being gifted that object.

Blaetlona Isilmynawyn:

“Wine! Are…are you sure you want to give this to me? I think Ashe could use it more than I could. But if you insist! Thank you!”

Grey Riot:

“Uh, no. Ashe’d kill me. Sorry.”

Jaraku Drake:

“Why thank you, I’ll see to it this is imbibed responsibly.”

(By giving it to Issabel Drake.)

Resh Viqqoh:

“Oooh! I could invite Ashe to drink this with me on Starlight! That’s a great idea! Thanks so much!”

Zwynmaga Doesmagasyn:

“A thousan’ years? Really? Yer sure, now? ‘Ow in th’ ‘ells did it last this long? Well. I’ll measure out enough fer each o’ th’crew t’get an equal share an’ we’ll welcome in th’ new year right proper when Heavensturn comes. Thank ye kindly.”

Rydia Misuto:

“Wine? I don’t want wine. I don’t even get why people want to drink it. That’s stupid. I don’t need your dumb drink. I wanna know what I’m doing and not try to blame my actions on some dumb drink.”

Natalya Nibiru:

“A treasured gift. I’ll keep ahold of this, thank you, to share with my girlfriend.”

Gaelle Troyes:

“Why, what a coincidence! I’ve got a jar of honey dating back to the Fourth Umbral Era you can have. Just don’t open it - it’s veeery fragile.”

Hyltbryda Eyrieynwyn:

“Ha! Wait, yer SERIOUS? An’…an’ yer givin’ it t’/me/? Well. I’d share wiff th’capn’ but ‘e’d make us share wiff th’ ‘ole crew, so I’ll jes grab Swyg an’ we’ll have a /’istoric/ night, aye. Thank ye, friend!”

???:

“I don’t drink. Give it to a friend of yours. One who would appreciate it.”

??????h ?????????n:

“…You don’t expect me to take this as payment for a job, do you?”

Gui Charlemalde:

“A thousand years old? A thousand? As in one followed by three zeroes? As in dating back to the start of the Dragonsong war?

And you’re giving it to me?

I… I don’t know if I can accept so grand a gift! Are you absolutely certain?

Well. Thank you, friend!”

Eloise Boucher:

“Thank you. I’ll see to it this is used well.”

????? ???:

“Thanks. I’ll open this after the next business venture turns profit.”

11, 16, 22 ^-^

Thanks so much for sending this in! So sorry it took so long to get to!

11. What is something that would make your character fly into a rage?

Blaetlona Isilmynawyn: Insulting her (dead) family, or aggressively treating her like an idiot.

Grey Riot: Threatening Enea. Oddly enough, threatening Ashe wouldn’t make him fly into a rage (he isn’t worried about her - she can more than take care of herself.)

Jaraku Drake: Speaking ill of Issabel, or especially of Geoff or Brodd. Bullying Nathaniel Rhys.

Resh Viqqoh: Threatening or disrespecting Ashelia Riot.

Zwynmaga Doesmagasyn: Unwarranted (in his opinion) hatred of Limsa Lominsa.

Rydia Misuto: Threatening anyone she cares about, speaking ill of the dead people she cared about, arguing in defense of Garleans, directly and overtly trying to stop her from getting vengeance, calling her a child, disrespecting her, belittling her or people she cares about, violence towards anyone she cares about, laughing at the weak/bragging about exploiting them.

Natalya Nibiru: Killing Gaelle Troyes. Anything less and she’d remain composed.

Gaelle Troyes: Killing Natalya Nibiru. Anything less and she’d remain composed.

Hyltbryda Eyrieynwyn: Drawing steel on the captain.

???: Nothing.

??????h ?????????n: Being a legitimate, actual, undeniable threat.

Gui Charlemalde: Harming the innocent without even a pretense of good intent.

????? ???: Disrespecting their sibling/favored deity.

16. Is your character the athletic type or more of a couch potato? What are some sports/games that they like?

(I don’t actually know of any in-setting sports or games so I’m gonna go light on answering the second one for most characters!)

Blaetlona Isilmynawyn: Blae works out out of habit more than anything, but much prefers reading and writing or goldsmithing.

Grey Riot: Grey likes to feel like a ninja and to him that means following a fairly rigorous exercise regimen mostly designed to increase his flexibility and endurance.

Jaraku Drake: Jaraku lives a very active life with Issabel. Prodigiously active, you might say. Outside of that, he likes to use archery as a method of exercising - he has killer back muscles for a reason.

He likes sparring matches, though he prefers making a spectacle to actually winning.

Resh Viqqoh: Resh works almost constantly, always seeking ways to improve the Riskbreakers’ airship fleet. She used to work out every single day, but after six months with no significant gain in muscle mass she gave up. (She’s actually cursed; her health is so awful as a result she’s incapable of building up any significant amount of strength.)

Resh isn’t very competitive.

Zwynmaga Doesmagasyn: Zwyn rarely stops moving. He works alongside his crew to maintain his ship, he helps out the people of Limsa Lominsa however possible, he hauls crates, he fistfights for money now and then.

He enjoys bareknuckle boxing and arm wrestling matches, both watching and participating in them.

Bernard Undertaker: Bernard Undertaker hasn’t truly taken any time off to himself since Marco died. He’s always working.

He has no time or care for sports.

Rydia Misuto: Rydia rarely ever stops moving if she’s awake. She fidgets when she’s sitting down. She trains hard every single day and powers through the accompanying aches and pains.

She loves, loves LOVES Triple Triad and has taken it upon herself to be the best Triple Triad player there ever was.

Natalya Nibiru: Natalya tries to be less active than she used to be, trying to mimic who she originally was. It’s extremely difficult for her.

She doesn’t see the appeal of competition, though she’s been known to decide upon helping others win if the person in question is someone she cares about and the competition matters to them.

Gaelle Troyes: Gaelle walks enough traveling around that she doesn’t feel the need to keep up the level of training she once engaged in, particularly as she has no interest in fighting.

She loves any sport or game she’s able to figure out a way to rig. Beware her shell games.

Hyltbryda Eyrieynwyn: Hyltbryda’s in fantastic shape, in part because she’s got a sharp competitive edge and never stops trying to win. She takes every strong person she meets as a challenge; they’re either someone to beat in a feat of strength or someone to train towards beating. Her favorite fields are those of swimming and arm wrestling, though she’s been known to tape her hands up and box.

???: Discipline is paramount. Exercise is to sharpen both body and mind. Sports are a needless distraction.

??????h ?????????n: He’s quite active. He used to lie to himself and say that it was to bank enough that he could retire someday, but he’s given up that lie - he loves his work too much to retire.

The only good sports are those with a betting pool.

Gui Charlemalde: Gui is EXTREMELY active, constantly going around and helping people, fighting beasts, ferrying groceries, doing anything necessary to help others.

He enjoys simulated dueling matches, they’re one of the few pleasures he allows himself. He carries a blunted sword and dagger with him for this very reason.

22. What kind of tattoos, piercings, birthmarks, freckles, and other such unique physical features do they have?

I am so sorry, but while I am going to do my best the sheer quantity of data involved in answering this is going to make missing something inevitable - I am terribly sorry about that. I will do my best!

(note: all my characters except Bernard Undertaker, ??????h ?????????n and the au ra have pierced ears.)

Blaetlona Isilmynawyn:

Blae has scars over her eyes from play-fighting with dull swords as a kid - her parents thought it was adorable right until their youngest daughter was bleeding from the face and yelling at her brother for “cheating”. She has markings on her face relating to her family.

Grey Riot:

Grey’s face has several scars, as does much of his body - he’s gotten in a lot of fights. He snuck out and got a tattoo as an act of “rebellion” and was disappointed Ashe never noticed.

Jaraku Drake:

Jaraku has several scars, with two particularly nasty ones on his face - he once spent outrageous sums to treat scars, but when he woke up a hyur all his scars were back. He doesn’t talk about it but the facial scars were earned the night of the Calamity while running through the Shroud trying to escape Garleans.

He was distraught that they were back until Brodd told him that some women like scars. Then Jaraku married one of them. Go figure.

Resh Viqqoh:

Resh took a serious shock to her system when she broke her connection to the Void, and the shock left her with one eye slightly darker than the other as well as a massive, horrible scar on her forearm that looks like it was shot with a huge gun (it stems from a dagger and a magical blast.)

Zwynmaga Doesmagasyn:

Zwyn’s got some scarring and facial marks, including a small tattoo he got when he first got his ship.

Rydia Misuto:

Rydia has extensive burn scarring across her entire body, most noticeably on her back and her upper arms. Her facial markings are warpaint she applies every day.

Natalya Nibiru:

Natalya’s body is pristine and unmarked.

Gaelle Troyes:

Gaelle has some scarring on her left hand from accidentally drawing a sword against it when she was young. She also has a small mole on her face. That aside she has some scarring here and there.

Hyltbryda Eyrieynwyn:

Hyltbryda’s scarred up from countless fistfights and scraps. She has multiple tattoos she’s proud of - she aims to have her entire body covered eventually.

???:

Significant scarring on one leg, through a hand and on their face. None of it is ever visible.

??????h ?????????n:

Every time an armor set gets pierced a scar’s left behind and he throws it out and gets a new one. He has three scars from this.

Gui Charlemalde:

Gui got a tattoo on his face of a dragon the day he left home to remind himself to be proud of his family and where he came from. Also because dragons are cool.

Eloise Boucher:

No significant visible markings that are actually permanent.

????? ???:

Small scar on the face, a result of extremely grueling training. Had they reacted slower they’d have lost most of their head.

Nathaniel sat at the bar of the Sandsea, dressed in the clothes Jaraku had gifted him and sipping a small cup of tea. He was trying his best not to think about anything that had happened lately, but the more he tried to avoid the thoughts, the more they came up in his mind.

Come at me, for all of them!

Thanks for sending this in! (original post)

Jaraku Drake: “I remember when I was quite young I read in a storybook a fable about a boy who became a king after drawing a sword that had seemed impossibly stuck inside a rock. Where others struggled and struggled, unable to even budge it, the boy drew it out as easily as if the rock were putty. The stone and sword were in the middle of a deep and aged forest, you understand, and the act of withdrawing the sword revitalized the world around it. Color returned to the branches, new leaves sprouted, flowers arose from the earth. Life sprang forth in all directions.

And that’s what Ivaan is. He’s a fine forest waiting for the right woman to give the sword a yank and let the life back in.”

Resh Viqqoh: “Why are you asking me? I mean. The reports said he’s a good fighter. A dragoon, right? I don’t really know much else.”

Bernard Undertaker: “I know full well the use for such a man. You point them in the direction you want them to go, feed them a story about honor and justice, and watch them fight to the death for the ideals you gave them.

There are many such men in Ala Mhigo. It’s obvious what Ashelia sees in him to keep him around.”

Rydia Misuto: “I like Ivaan. He’s nice to me. His armor is dorky, but he’s alright. I don’t know why he’s mad at me. Is he mad at me? I don’t even remember saying whatever it was he was so upset about. Weird.”

Natalya Nibiru: “Reliable. Dependable. Bleeding from wounds he won’t show.”

A’sato Clueless/Tia: “I don’t know why he exaggerates so much about these overgrown drakes he’s so afraid of.”

Gaelle Troyes: “Oh, poor Ivaan, according to the Gods Themselves a terrible fate awaits him in his future. A catastrophe of immense proportions. Something unparalleled…”

??????h ?????????n: “Ha.”

Gui Charlemalde: “Ivaan is a good man, with a strong sense of justice. He’s a capable fighter and I’m glad to call him my friend. Also, have you seen how high he and Jenesis can jump? It’s incredible!”

Eloise Boucher: “Funny, I thought all Dragoons were Ishgardian. I’m dying to find out how he managed…”

safestsephiroth

"Come at me," specifically for: Rydia for both, Jaraku for Nathan, and any other combination you might want to write up!

Thanks so much for sending this in! (original post)

Rydia Misuto: “What? Nathan? You’re not going to make me talk to him again are you? I try so hard to be friendly to him and he doesn’t get it! He gets so mad and I don’t know why. He doesn’t make sense! And I tried to compliment his stupid clothes or hair or whatever but it was miserable and I hated every second of it it was the worst. I hate lying.

Why is it Nate’s always made when I talk to him? Why do I keep trying? I’m trying to be his friend and help him and he’s always upset when I talk to him.”

“Lorelei? I hope she never comes back.”

Jaraku Drake: “Friends aren’t something I make easily. Nathaniel is my dear friend. There’s much and more I’d do for him, you understand. He’s a bit shy and doesn’t seem to want to fight his own battles, and… it’s so frustrating, really. Sometimes I feel like a mother bird trying to push him to learn to fly. But I don’t really mind it. He’s a good man. He’ll get the hang of it someday. I’ll keep pushing him until then.

And the Twelve help anyone who tries to hurt him before then. He may not want to defend himself but I certainly will.”

Natalya Nibiru: “Nathaniel Rhys is damaged. Some sort of trauma has left him meek, afraid, unable or unwilling to stand for himself. He seems to have a good heart but I do not believe he takes his training seriously.

It angers me to know that, in light of his disposition, it’s exceedingly likely whoever did this to him yet lives. If I knew who they were, I would take time off to find them and solve the problem once and for all.”

COME AT ME JUDE PAW (@Rydia, Jaraku, Resh, Natalya and Gui)

RYDIA:

Jude’s face brightens as he smiles, thinking of his friend. “Lady Rydia is one of the most driven people I have ever known. Once she has set upon a course of action, she applies herself to it with more fervor than one might expect from someone so young. I confess, I sometimes worry for her safety- I cannot imagine her determination to become powerful will lead her anywhere kind… But I do not think this is for me to say.” He pauses, taking a swig of chilled wine from his stein. “Not everyone is meant for a life of sweetness and light. Some are destined for a harder path than that, and greater things inevitably come of it. I expect no less of Lady Rydia. She will be a great warrior one day.” He pauses again. “She helped me buy clothes, once. It was the only time I have seen her with her fists unclenched.”

JARAKU:

Jude tilts his head to one side, flicking an ear as the face of the infamous bard flits through his mind.“The singer…? I only know him in passing, I’m afraid… Seems a contentious sort. I remember once, at a meeting, he once nearly came to blows with Ser Arkwright… A common theme, or so I have heard it said- everyone seems to want to hit him, at one point or another, I suppose because he is forthright.” Jude shakes his head. “I do not understand Ser Drake. He is a complicated man, it seems to me.” He laughs lightly. “I do greatly enjoy his songs! I have great admiration for musicians, and in this, Ser Drake is most gifted! I wonder if he might take me on as a harpsichord pupil…”

RESH:

Jude spits his wine and shakes his head rapidly.“That one has taken leave of her senses. I do not know what you’ve heard, but that great hulking beast of hers is not friendly. It’s got the taste of blood on its beak, mark my words. I’ve told Resh this many times, but she does not have the eyes to see what it staring her plainly in the face, and more the fool her. I’d steer clear, if I were you. Wherever she is, that beast is not far behind, and it is always hungry.”

NATALYA:

Jude shrugs.“Ah, a real worrier, that one. She tried to tell me that wild chocobos were dangerous.” Jude laughs uproariously, nearly spilling his stein. “Can you imagine? A chocobo, dangerous? Pure nonsense. She made me promise not to go looking for a fight with one, and as I am a man of my word, I do not mean to do so, but even so… I wonder where she ever got the idea that a bird could be dangerous…” He smiles as he shakes his head. “Lady Natalya has a kind heart… Though perhaps one that is heavy with too many little concerns.”

GUI:

Jude takes a swallow of his drink, grinning.“He is a good man who does good work. Always seems to know when there’s a bothersome beastie needs slaying, or a hamlet needs rescuing.” Jude looks off in another direction, thinking. “… It makes me wonder what he is doing among the likes of us, in truth.” He looks back, smiling reassuringly. “Not that I believe the Riskbreakers do not do good work, mind you. It is only just that… Well… It seems to me that we face down what threatens the whole of Eorzea. Ser Charlemalde’s work… It is more personal. He helps people on a scale that is not quite so large. Some overgrown crab threatens a seaside village, and so he puts together a party to slay the fiend… I admire that. There is much I admire about him. I would like to work with him in the future.”

Come at me! For those that've met abbie ovo

Thanks for sending this in! (prompt: send me “come at me!” and I’ll describe what my character thinks of yours)

Grey Riot: “Oh that shite. ‘E’s awful. I don’ ‘ave any idea why Ashe puts up wiff ‘im. ‘E’s so godsdamned annoying an’ ‘e can’ even speak words what can be unnerstood. An’ ‘e’s such a bastard.”

Jaraku Drake: “I already didn’t like him and now that I’m pretty sure he’s threatening or bullying Nathan I definitely don’t like the malevolent little mongrel. I’ve half a mind to beat him until he gets the message to stay away from Nathan, but I haven’t seen the two of them together since that last conversation. Still, if he’s hurting Nathaniel…”

Resh Viqqoh: “I understand why Ashe keeps him around. That’s all I have to say.”

Bernard Undertaker: “Living proof that a Silverbrand will forever be a Silverbrand. It was never Ala Mhigo that made them the way they are. It’s in their blood.”

Rydia Misuto: “WHY DOESN’T HE SPEAK RIGHT? WHY DOES HE SPEAK WEIRD SENTENCES?! WHY IS HE SUCH A JERK?!”

Natalya Nibiru: “I question the logic in keeping a ticking time bomb around with no ready means of defusal.”

??????h ?????????n: “With that last name I’d bet I know all I need to already.”

Eloise Boucher: “A fantastic possible source of the information I’m looking for. Probably a liar, and yet…sometimes you can find the truth between the lines with that sort.”

safestsephiroth

COME AT ME

Thanks so much for sending this in! (original prompt post)

Jaraku Drake: “Jude’s a good man, if a bit odd. Doesn’t bother me, though, some of the best men I’ve ever known were eccentrics.”

Resh Viqqoh: “I just don’t understand what his problem is with Dorgengoa! Dorgengoa’s such a nice friend to me and Jude acts like he’s some kind of monster! Maybe Jude has an overactive imagination? Maybe he has some sort of…delusions? Should we be telling Ashe about that?”

Rydia Misuto: “Jude Paw and I are partners. He helps me train, I help him blend in better. I already helped him get good clothes. He needed them. He’s…pretty weird.”

Natalya Nibiru: “No history, no place of birth recorded, no record of where he underwent his training, I couldn’t even discern who he bought his axe and armor from. He’s not a bad man, I don’t think, though he’s certainly overconfident and foolish to the extreme… But how has he erased his past so thoroughly? Who is helping him? What sort of network is he secretly pulling the strings of?”

Gui Charlemalde: “I like Jude Paw. He’s got a good heart, a bright disposition and he doesn’t shrink from work that needs doing even if it’s unglamorous. I don’t have anything unkind to say about him.”

“come at me”

Thanks for sending this in!!!

(original prompt: put “come at me” in my askbox and I’ll describe what my characters think of yours)

Blaetlona Isilmynawyn: “Zulak? He’s a GREAT guy, he’s been so helpful! And he’s such a really good person! He’s kind of quiet but, like, there’s this feeling of calm and kindness around him all the time.”

Jaraku Drake: “He’s a good man, that much is certain, but I wish I knew more about him. Maybe I’ll track him down and interview him.”

Resh Viqqoh: “I like him. Good for A’zaela!”

Bernard Undertaker: “Proof that not all of Ashelia’s staffing decisions are ill-advised.”

Natalya Nibiru: “His background checks out. You don’t honestly think I wouldn’t have intervened by now if it didn’t, did you?”

A’sato Clueless/Tia: “He’s a good man. He is even good enough for Zaela. Or at least he seems to be. He’s given me no reason as of yet to not like him.”

Gaelle Troyes: “Charming fellow - the quiet and mysterious type, but unlike with most people I’m not sure it’s meant to be an act with him.”

Gui Charlemalde: “I haven’t met the man, as far as I recall, but if I can trust the word I hear he’s certainly worth meeting.”

Eloise Boucher: “Another important Riskbreaker to make contact with. So much to do in this life…”

safestsephiroth

Come at me!! (Jaraku for Azionne and Edge, Resh for Gogo, Blae for Baithin, Natalya for Ndai)

Thanks for sending this in!!!

Jaraku Drake: “Azionne Melisandre? Ha! Haha, you’re JOKING, right? You’re not? You’re actually asking ME about HER? Go ask Blaetlona, she’s the one who really knows her. All I know is she’s the only mage who’s made me fear for my life and that she’s wildly unstable. I steer clear.

Wait, you’re NOT going to tell her that, are you? Don’t. You’d better not.”

“Edge Marbrand! Ah, what a man he is. Every bit the flirtatious jackass I used to be except now he’s married. I think the key differences between us are that he still drinks and I’m better than him in every conceivable way, even if my damnable ‘chakras’ won’t open. If I even have them. But you know, not being as good as the best there is doesn’t make you bad. I’m just saying. I’m better than him. You’re taking notes? Write down ‘Jaraku Drake could beat Edge Marbrand in a fight, is much better at personal care, and looks far better in leather.’ Good. Also, add something about how I’m a phenomenal writer and musician but he probably can’t scrabble together a single poem. But put it in your own words. It’d be suspicious if I just told you it word by word.

Wait, this isn’t for a newspaper? Why are you here, then?!”

Resh Viqqoh: “Letting Gogonegi Porronegi join The Riskbreakers was the closest Ashe has ever come to making a mistake. She can’t really make mistakes - she’s perfect - and I’m sure she has to have some kind of reason…but I don’t see it. I hate him. He’s awful. He keeps directly defying her, saying she’s wrong, trying to conspire against her! With ME! As if I’d ever defy Ashe’s wishes! Ever! [she puts on a terrible and insulting impression of him] ‘Oh Resh, magitek is just so much better and I love Garlemald and I’m probably only here because I decided it’d be fun to leave or something dumb like that, I have no idea what I’m doing but I’m going to insult your designs and treat Ashe like an idiot because she doesn’t want to use a weapon intrinsically tied to evil!’ I hate him! I hate him so much! I never, ever want to work with him and if it were my decision he’d have been kicked out the first time he talked back to Ashe! It’s so wrong how disrespectful he is!

But it’s not my decision. It’s Ashe’s decision, and I’m going to abide by it. So as long as she demands I work with him I will and I won’t complain no matter how much I want to strangle the little jerk.”

Blaetlona Isilmynawyn: “Baithin Alberon is…hmm. I feel really bad for trying to get him together with Nathan, I thought for SURE they’d be a great couple, but he seemed to think Nate didn’t even actually like him! That it was just him…misdirecting…um… I don’t quite remember exactly, but anyway, I thought if I had Nate tell him in his own words how much he cared that the two could get together but that didn’t happen. That didn’t happen at all.

I…. think I’m going to stay away from him for awhile. Until this dies down. Yikes.”

Natalya Nibiru: “It has been a long, long time since I met a child as foolish and idiotic as that one. I am still gathering what intelligence I am able, but I cannot comprehend the logic that inspires someone to spy on a company for weeks on end and then lie about being some sort of dangerous criminal when confronted.

I still suspect there’s more to her than we’ve yet discovered. If I find anything particularly dangerous about her, as I suspect I may, I’ll relay the information to Ashelia and recommend taking action. It’s rare she listens to my recommendations of that sort, but I must relay them nevertheless.”

....did I send "come at me" already? If I did, ignore this. If not: Rydia, Jaraku, Natalya, Gui (from Jen!)

Jenesis has some thoughts on this bunch:

Rydia: “Rydia? I can certainly see why you’d make that face when you hear her name, but… she’s actually rather sweet, once you get to know her. She’s been through a lot and just…doesn’t know how to express how she feels as easily as other people. Trust me, with a little bit of patience and some weeding through the rough – you’ll find a gem there before long.”

Jaraku: “Ugh…he’s like Marius, except he has a bigger hat. Which, of course, Marius can’t suffer, so now he’s been dragging me to every corner of Eorzea looking for the perfect ‘counter-hat.’ The two of them are made for each other – they should just run off into the sunset together already. …Though, I guess I’d miss them and that would make things more than a little too quiet around here. …Don’t you dare tell them I said that.”

Natalya: “What I have to say about this particular individual depends entirely on who I’m talking to. If it’s to most people, she’s a perfectly lovely woman who cares a great deal about her work and for the well being of the Riskbreakers, and I respect that. If I’m talking to Ashelia Riot, however, there are some expletives at the forefront of my lips that accompany my opinions that I probably shouldn’t repeat here.”

Gui: “He’s a good-hearted man. Perhaps a bit naive, and more than a little zealous, but I certainly don’t doubt where his intent is. He cares about the people of the land, and I mean all of them - the poor, the sick, the invalid. The ones who have no coin to offer for aid, the ones who are most often forgotten and overlooked. He is much of what should embody a knight… a rare thing, these days.”

♥ - family headcanon - for any/all that you'd like to answer it for!

Thanks for sending this in!!

Blaetlona Isilmynawyn: Though Blae will always miss her family, the wound has healed as much as it can.

Grey Riot: Grey’s mother and maternal grandfather are both characters I have fleshed out and (in the case of his mother) written for before.

Jaraku Drake: Jaraku considers Lynn Moore more family than all his blood relatives combined.

Resh Viqqoh: Resh doesn’t know it, but her entire family is dead. Her parents and most siblings died a year before she came to Eorzea and her sister died shortly after Resh left Garlemald.

Zwynmaga Doesmagasyn: Zwynmaga defines family as the people you choose, and considers blood association to be foolish.

Bernard Undertaker: The only time in his entire life Bernard has wavered in the face of a task he was fully committed to involved his newborn son.

Rydia Misuto: Rydia never knew her father, and her mother never dated/remarried. She knows absolutely nothing about him and likes it that way; she feels that if he was worth her attention he would’ve come back to them at some point.

Natalya Nibiru: Natalya has three living relatives; a set of three sisters.

A’sato Clueless/Tia: For A’sato, there is literally nothing in the world more important to him than his family.

Gaelle Troyes: Gaelle envies large, happy families, but goes out of her way to try to plot and scheme to help out good people in bad families.

Hyltbryda Eyrieynwyn: Hyltbryda comes from a large, happy family and is the toughest of her siblings because when people fucked with her older brothers she beat the living shit out of them.

???: Had a wife, daughter. Wife died while ??? was away, ??? came back to find ???’s father-in-law had taken custody of the child and refused to give her back.

??????h ?????????n: His family disowned him early in his life. He never cared for them.

Gui Charlemalde: Gui was adopted by a family of Duskwights, something he doesn’t bring up unless specifically asked because one of the few things that makes him mad is racism towards Duskwights.

Eloise Boucher: Eloise will tell you she has a sister back in Ishgard, an elderly mother she sends money home to and a father who died when a carriage ran out of control and he knocked a child out of the way, sacrificing himself in the process. She will tell this story through convincing tears and sobs. It’s entirely bullshit.

????? ???: ????? has one family member they value above anything else in the world - anything - but the rest of their surviving family is scum in their eyes and below notice.

Ashelia Riot approaches with a screaming Anastasia tucked under her arm. Ashelia Riot: Quiet. Or you’ll wake the whole damned house. Gaelle Troyes: My, what a creature you’ve got. Is that a baby griffin? Ashelia Riot looks up in surprise. Ashelia Riot: Well! Welcome back, Miss Troyes. Gaelle Troyes: It’s a pleasure to return. It’s been far too long. Ashelia Riot looks between the two women. Ashelia Riot: I’m glad my letter reached you. Your journey here went well? Natalya Nibiru: For some reason nobody saw fit to challenge us. Gaelle Troyes: You can be rather terrifying, Natalya. Ashelia Riot doesn’t think she’s ever seen the two together, and understands at once that she would not want to be on either of their bad sides.

$how much do they spend on clothes every month?

Thanks so much for sending this in!!

Blaetlona Isilmynawyn: Blae buys herself new clothes every once in awhile, but only really to replace older clothes that’ve worn out. Her monthly expenditures are negligible.

Grey Riot: Grey spends more than he’d ever admit on clothes that he tries on, looks at himself wearing, hates and throws away. “But why don’t you try it on before you buy it?” you might ask.

Because he’s anxious he’ll be accused of trying to steal it, thanks to past experiences.

Jaraku Drake: Pre-Issabel Drake, any gil Jaraku didn’t drink was spent on clothes.

All of it.

You don’t want to know how much that hat cost.

Now that Izzi makes his clothes for him, though, he doesn’t really spend anything on them.

Resh Viqqoh: Resh buys new protective equipment fairly regularly, out of healthy caution. Clothes? Ehhh. Not very much very often. Not enough to calculate monthly.

Zwynmaga Doesmagasyn: Zwyn personally pays for the clothes of his crewmen, so he spends a substantial sum of coin on that. For himself? Not much. He bought two nice outfits (the first for a court appearance, the second because the first was apparently Ishgardian and he didn’t want that association.)

Rydia Misuto: Rydia doesn’t spend money on clothes. People seem compelled to make clothes for her, it seems.

Natalya Nibiru: Natalya buys clothes to donate, though she never mentions it. For herself, in her attempts to figure out how regular people dress, she tosses around absurd amounts of money on new dresses and clothing.

A’sato Clueless/Tia: Spend money? On CLOTHES? When you can buy supplies for the family?

…Why?

Gaelle Troyes: Where do you think all that conned rightfully earned money goes? Other than charity?

One word: costumes.

Hyltbryda Eyrieynwyn: Hyltbryda is the type of person who sees a shirt she likes and buys twenty so she’ll never run out.

???: Discounting repairs? Nothing.

??????h ?????????n: Buys new armor quite frequently, always from the same smith who he has an exclusivity contract with (the smith in question is well-paid enough to agree to this.)

Gui Charlemalde: Gui doesn’t get much money and gives away quite a lot of what he gets. He has his fancy, fashionable clothes because they were a gift from his family to celebrate six months of successful adventuring.

Eloise Boucher: Eloise spends more money on supplies than on clothes. She doesn’t care either way about dressing up, but has to keep up the act.

⚢♥₤!

Thanks so much for sending this in!

⚢ what kind of make-up does your muse use? favourite colours? how much do they use?

Blaetlona Isilmynawyn: Blae likes bright, colorful lipsticks. She likes to apply it quite thickly, and recently she’s taken a liking to eyeshadow.

Grey Riot: Grey dabbled in makeup, but couldn’t figure out how to not look ridiculous on his own and refused to ever ask for help with it, so he no longer wears makeup.

Jaraku Drake: Jaraku puts an amount of effort into his appearance that can be described as “extraordinary”. Between the makeup, the skin care, the clothes, you’re talking several hours a day. He wears it all. The star on his cheek is always the final piece he adds.

Resh Viqqoh: Resh wears black lipstick specifically to see if anyone notices. Nobody’s said anything yet. Sometimes she wears lipstick in a color similar to Ashelia Riot’s. Nobody’s said anything yet. That aside, she doesn’t really know much about makeup and doesn’t wear it much because she doesn’t want to put the effort in.

Zwynmaga Doesmagasyn: Zwynmaga had it pointed out to him, once, that eyeshadow could make his eyes pop and help intimidate his enemies. It works. Sort of. Nobody’s told him it doesn’t, yet.

Rydia Misuto: Rydia thinks makeup is dumb and caring that much for your appearance is stupid. (clothes, of course, are a different matter.)

Natalya Nibiru: Natalya gets help with her makeup from Gaelle. Natalya hasn’t told Gaelle she doesn’t actually need the help anymore, she just enjoys the intimacy. Gaelle hasn’t told Natalya she knows this.

A’sato Clueless/Tia: Red is an important color for his family, so A’sato wears red on his clothes and face at all times.

Gaelle Troyes: Gaelle is a master of makeup, an absolute genius. This extends to her knowledge of how to put together a good disguise…

Hyltbryda Eyrieynwyn: Hyltbryda’s philosophy on makeup is that it’s meant to intimidate your enemies. She doesn’t like putting on anything besides war paint and similar things. She’s too impatient.

Gui Charlemalde: On his off days, Gui treats himself with fancy makeup. This is a rare experience. He likes looking the best he can, he just doesn’t prioritize it.

Eloise Boucher: Eloise has an unhealthy obsession with makeup. Or so she pretends. She finds it a disarming trait that gets people to lower their guards.

♥ do they have more muscles or more fat on their body?

Blaetlona Isilmynawyn: Two years ago, the answer would’ve been fat. Now, after training with Hyltbryda, it’s definitively muscle.

Grey Riot: Grey’s low-key in great shape.

Jaraku Drake: Jaraku is muscular in the manner of a bodybuilder; it’s all about looking good.

Resh Viqqoh: Resh has more fat than muscle, but is extremely scrawny anyway.

Zwynmaga Doesmagasyn: Zwynmaga’s built for power, not looking pretty. He’s extremely strong (definitely one of my strongest characters) and while he looks like he has a bit of a paunch it’s all muscle. Dude could probably rip a tree out of the ground and beat people to death with it. (Depending on the tree.)

Rydia Misuto: Rydia eats a diet with very little meat in it due to her intolerance of the smell of cooking meat (boiling it’s the only way she can get it down) and lots of legumes to get all the protein she possibly can. She’s very lean, but is on track to keep building significant muscle mass over time.

Natalya Nibiru: Natalya tries to hide how muscular she is so people don’t question why a paperwork-pushing deskbound analyst is ripped.

A’sato Clueless/Tia: A’sato’s very lean and wiry, built to hunt and strike decisively at prey in the Sagolii.

Gaelle Troyes: Gaelle has much more fat in her body than muscle; she has very quick fingers and fast hands and can run quite quickly but lacks upper body strength and loves fine food and wine.

Hyltbryda Eyrieynwyn: Hyltbryda wakes up every day intent on breaking the previous day’s workout record. Hyltbryda’s workout regimen is absurd. Hyltbryda LOVES being strong, and has to eat tons of food to avoid wasting away from all the activity. She has an uncommonly low amount of fat reserves in her body, to the point it could be argued it’s unhealthy.

???: Muscles, though he’s fairly wiry.

??????h ?????????n: Muscles. Almost no fat whatsoever.

Gui Charlemalde: Gui’s in good shape, but isn’t pure muscle by any means.

Eloise Boucher: Gui wears full-body clothing at all times to cover up her excellent physical shape; she wants her strength to be a surprise if she needs it to be.

₤ how many shoes do they have? what kind?

Blaetlona Isilmynawyn: Blae owns several pairs of boots, exactly one pair of dress shoes and a couple pairs of sandals. All her shoes are black, Dalamud Red or purple.

Grey Riot: Grey wears the same pair of shoes until they no longer hold together, then glues them together until there’s holes in the soles, then patches the holes…

After living with Ashe, I can’t imagine she’d let him get away without owning a pair of dress shoes and at least two more pairs of functional shoes that are better than the raggedy pieces of shit he came with.

Jaraku Drake: The only thing Jaraku owns more of than shoes is shirts, hats, and pants.

Jaraku’s wardrobe is so massive it takes up a slowly-expanding chunk of his personal room.

Any shoe Jaraku likes he gets in several colours, and Jaraku likes many, many shoes.

Resh Viqqoh: Resh owns a pair of boots with makeshift steel toes for working in the workshop and a pair of light sandals for daily use. That’s it.

Zwynmaga Doesmagasyn: Zwynmaga has several pairs of boots. They are all exactly the same. Zwynmaga sees nothing wrong with this, nor any need for other shoes.

Rydia Misuto: Rydia owns several pairs of shoes, crafted by Scarlet, and several pairs of boots obtained since her arrival at the Sandsea.

Natalya Nibiru: Natalya spends lots of money on dresses. Shoes? Not so much.

A’sato Clueless/Tia: A’sato has a pair of caligae.

Gaelle Troyes: Gaelle hopes to show Natalya by example that shoes are a good thing to have multiple of and that pretty shoes are important.

Hyltbryda Eyrieynwyn: Hyltbryda owns a pair of caligae and a pair of boots. That’s it.

???: Doesn’t keep more clothes than they carry on them. Surplus shoes are unnecessary and dead weight.

??????h ?????????n: Have you ever heard of sabatons?

Gui Charlemalde: Gui has fashionable archaeoskin boots, and a full set of armor that includes sabatons. He’d love to have more clothes, but can’t justify spending the money.

Eloise Boucher: Eloise has a carefully-calculated amount of shoes to appear “vapid” and “materialistic” while still not having to carry too much weight in shoes. She doesn’t actually care about them, but is very good at pretending she does.
