"The best solution is a keg of mead and grabbin' the axe!

An FFXIV Tumblr page revolved around my main role-playing and gameplay character, Arlia Kreiston! A bold, brash, and hearty barbarian woman! Also used for general image sharing and blah blah blah.

Hey y’all!

Erah, a few of our friends, and myself (lurking in the background) have thrown together a bit of a server that we hope will help build excitement around what is likely a big part of a lot of character’s lives - and what will become a rather important area coming into 6.0!

And, as always, if you have any questions whatsoever prior to joining please feel free to reach out to me either here on Tumblr or through Discord at Granny#1945 <33

Hello you beautiful people, I have a ko-fi now so please consider supporting me! Thank you so much. uvu

[alun-ura]

Friendly reminder that I have a Ko-fi and I would REALLY appreciate the help this month. Might offer some icon commissions for 3 Ko-fis, but keep in mind that I’m struggling with a few IRL stuff and it’ll take a bit for me to get through everything. Please consider supporting even with reblogs, thank you.

Female Highlanders are the best, people can fight me on that.

[bearliabearston]

“There is a certain beauty in the stillness; when the light of day rests upon the distant seas. Shining the last of its brightness upon us sailors. Just one more glance before we are shrouded in the blackness of a sunless sea where all around us seems naught but bottomless abyss. Yet what follows, provided the sky spirits are feeling generous, is another magnificence that is hard to cherish with mere words.  It is under the blanket of night and infinite stars where I feel like naught else exists but myself. A whole new plane where the wanderer ne’er tires, and the worries and pains of the world are but a long-faded memory or dream. I find myself in this very spot quite often when out at sea. In fact, it is what I look forward to the most. 

It is the only time I feel I can truly contemplate and let loose. The only time I can truly open up to you. To father. To mother. To no one. To someone beyond this existence. Before the spirits of sky and sea, am I vulnerable. They listen, but they do not respond. I am content, for it is all I ask for.”

[bearliabearston]

I am a simple being. I find something I like, I end up takin’ some screenies. One led to more, and here we are... Bit of a non-canon (?) ‘Saucy Dark Cabaret Performer’ side of Alari, Arlia’s Norvrandt counterpart. 

[bearliabearston]

One in the same, yet worlds apart.  Arlia Kreiston and Alari Kren, her counterpart in the First. Where one belongs to Eorzea, the other belongs to Norvrandt. While similar, they both still bear significant differences!

RP HOOKS ––– –

I typically am open to all roleplay options but I do have a preference to long term RP with more serious tones. I also typically going full improv with roleplay and would prefer a loose plan that does not railroad the roleplay.

ALCHEMY - Qhota has spent a great deal of time in this field in perfecting, creating, and exploring the possibilities Alchemy has to offer. She offers quality and safety assured product commissions with full discretion to protect her clientele. Qhota is also open to meeting other alchemists or others relating to this field.

THE RED-CRESTED CARDINAL - An underground pseudo company devised to be a neutral anonymous group that offers products, medical treatment, and other services. Their numbers are unknown but so are their clientele.

AETHER RESEARCH - Qhota as of recent has been spending a great deal of time exploring and learning about the workings of aether and its manipulation as it serves as the foundation across many schools and works that she has interest in.

RETAINERS / ASSISTANTS - Having over time expanded and grown from where she started she has found herself running short on time and an ever-growing list of what must be done. Although it may not be immediately needed Qhota could benefit from having employees or an individual that can become her confidant.

NEW PLOTS OR IDEAS - Although these have only been listed there are still quite a few options and potential hooks that could be made from other parts of her setup along with being able to plan a way to incorporate her into your own workings. I am always happy to sit down and plan out ideas as ultimately a long term roleplay could inspire quality.

Direct Messages, Replies, Add me on discord, or find me in the game! I have a preference for roleplaying in-game, however, I also roleplay through discord often! I also plan to expand beyond Balmung and roleplay across the data center so reach out! Qhota also has additional external resources like her RPC profile!

CONTACT INFORMATION  ––– –

Usually, I just go by Qhota as she is my main and only character that I play. I have over 5 years of roleplay experience and about 2 years of game time on FFXIV. Feel free to contact me through the various options available and I’ll try my best to reply as soon as possible! This Tumblr is brand new for her and I hope to also use this as another part of this characters external material. Though do excuse my newness to Tumblr as I am still figuring out how it operates and who or what exactly to follow, any help is greatly appreciated! I also look forward to meeting others and I hope we can not only just create awesome stories but become friends.
