OCs and Sideblogs!
OCs:
Renoki - Warrior of Light and Darkness
Name: Renoki Sinro
Race/clan: Miqo'te/Keeper of the Moon
Gender: Male
Age: Mid-twenties
Nameday: 7th Sun of the 1st Umbral Moon
Guardian: Halone, the Fury
Main job: Dragoon
Chocobo: Chichiri (ice blue)
Azem: Phoebus
Personality: Laid-back, friendly, gets distracted easily, easy to please, protective. Cares deeply about his friends and loved ones and tries to see the best in people.
Overview: Very close to G'raha and Y'shtola, and sees Alphinaud and Alisaie as his younger siblings. Frequently returns to the Crystarium and spends a great deal of time there. Renoki owns a house in the Empyreum and often visits Aymeric (and Aymeric often visits him in his house). Despite being raised mainly in Ishgard and Sharlayan, Renoki raised his sister in Tailfeather following their parents' deaths. He left Tailfeather for Ul'dah to learn the art of Thaumaturgy so that he could better provide for his sister, but ended up following the path of the Dragoon instead. Eventually he studied as an Arcanist and developed his skills as a Scholar, though his faerie most often takes the form of a carbuncle. Renoki is very expressive, and the positioning of his ears and tail are very telling of his current state of mind. He is noticeably more cat-like in his mannerisms than many other miqo'te.
Rhunara
Name: Rhunara Sinro
Race/clan: Miqo'te/Keeper of the Moon
Gender: Female
Age: Twenty/early twenties
Nameday: 17th Sun of the 1st Astral Moon
Guardian: Halone, the Fury
Main job: Dragoon
Chocobo: Atlas (rolanberry red)
Ancient: Phoebe
Personality: Feisty, resilient, protective, boisterous. Has a tendency to keep people at arm's length and is slow to trust them.
Overview: Suffered severe amnesia after the Calamity due to being hit by rubble and rendered unconscious, leaving her unable to recognise her brother, Renoki, despite his fame as the Warrior of Light. Usually hides her amnesia from others to avoid unwanted questions. Rhunara learned to wield a lance during her time in Tailfeather, and has recently reunited with her brother and been introduced to the Scions. Despite developing a somewhat reluctant closeness with Alisaie, she's not adjusting particularly well to her new way of living and frequently longs for solitude.
Khujah
Name: Khujah Sinro
Race/clan: Miqo'te/Keeper of the Moon
Gender: Female
Age: Early forties
Nameday: 7th Sun of the 1st Umbral Moon
Guardian: Halone
Main job: Archer
Chocobo: Ambrosia (snow white)
Ancient: Astraea
Personality: Warm, extroverted, adventurous, determined. Has a "can-do" attitude towards pretty much everything.
Overview: Khujah is S'karael's partner and mother to Renoki and Rhunara. She grew up in Ishgard but her ancestral home is Meracydia. Her family are skilled fighters, with many going on to become dragoons (and some Azure Dragoons) and archers, and she is proficient with both a bow and a lance. Her fearless nature led to her travelling to Meracydia in an attempt to find her missing partner, though she was unfortunately presumed dead after not responding to attempted contact.
S'karael
Name: S'karael Nuhn
Race/clan: Miqo'te/Seeker of the Sun
Gender: Male
Age: Exact age unknown, around mid-forties (travelled to the First)
Nameday: 32nd Sun Of the 6th Umbral Moon
Guardian: Thaliak
Main job: Black Mage/Summoner
Chocobo: Caspian (lavender purple)
Ancient: Lykos
Personality: Dependable, calm, innovative, inquisitive. Driven by a desire for knowledge.
Overview: S'karael is the father of Renoki and Rhunara. He was one of the first Students of Baldesion and was presumed dead when the Isle of Val disappeared, though he wasn't there at the time - he had accidentally travelled to the First several years prior. Having not been able to find a way back to the Source, he and his chocobo roamed the First for a few years before finding a quiet place in which to spend the rest of their days.
Y'rhuna
Name: Y'rhuna Tia
Race/clan: Miqo'te/Seeker of the Sun
Gender: Male
Age: Late teens
Nameday: 32nd Sun of the 1st Astral Moon
Guardian: Thaliak, the Scholar
Main job: Paladin/Scholar
Chocobo: Archeron (dalamud red)
Ancient: Asterios
Personality: Cheerful, ambitious, slightly naïve, optimistic. Driven by his determination to prove his ability as a fighter.
Overview: Born and raised in Sharlayan, Y'rhuna has lived quite a sheltered life. He always looked up to the likes of G'raha Tia and the Leveilleurs, and is very keen to show everyone that he can be skilled both academically and physically. He idolizes G'raha Tia in a similar way to how G'raha Tia idolizes the Warrior of Light. Y'rhuna once commissioned a tailor to make him a copy of the Crystarium gear after he saw the Warrior of Light wearing it.
Lyra
Name: Lyra Tachibana
Race/clan: Viera/Rava
Gender: Female
Age: Around 120 years old
Nameday: 11th Sun of the 6th Umbral Moon
Guardian: Althyk, the Keeper
Main job: Dancer
Chocobo: Aspen (rose pink)
Ancient: Andromeda
Personality: Charming, strong-willed, calm, proud. Tends to be quite secretive.
Overview: Elegant and graceful, Lyra is used to being underestimated when it comes to her prowess on the battlefield. Like the Warrior of Light, she is able to travel between the First and the Source, and it is rumoured that she fled to the Source some time before the Crystal Exarch arrived in Norvrandt.
Faelene
Name: Faelene Sinwood
Race/clan: Viera/Rava
Gender: Male
Age: Mid-thirties
Nameday: 15th Sun of the 3rd Umbral Moon
Guardian: Oschon, the Wanderer
Main job: Lancer/Archer
Chocobo: Thorin (orchard brown)
Ancient: Orion
Personality: Shy, thoughtful, introspective, curious. Very considerate of others and good at empathising.
Overview: Longing to explore the world outside of his native forest, Faelene set off alone to venture into the heart of Eorzea and learn more about the different races that inhabit it. He decided to become an adventurer after hearing adventurers share their tales in the various taverns he visited. Despite discovering that he could further advance his mastery over the bow and the lance to become a Bard and a Dragoon, Faelene decided to continue to fight and hunt in the ways he had been taught as a kit. Even with his gradual acclimatization to the bustling settlements of Eorzea, he retains the somewhat reticent nature of his people.
Aisrael
Name: Aisrael Merlwyn
Race/clan: Roegadyn/Sea Wolf
Gender: Female
Age: Mid/late thirties
Nameday: 21st Sun of the 6th Astral Moon
Guardian: Llymlaen, the Navigator
Main job: Warrior
Chocobo: Nereus (seafog blue)
Ancient: Thalassa
Personality: Hardworking, cheerful, headstrong, pragmatic. Good at motivating others.
Overview: Despite giving up her pirate's life for a more noble cause following the Calamity, Aisrael is still capable of brutal savagery - something that has served her well in her Maelstrom duties. Aisrael has a strong respect for Admiral Bloefhiswyn and always tries to follow the example that the Admiral set for ex-pirates. She first met Renoki when he joins the Maelstrom and eventually befriended his sister, Rhunara, as well.
Sideblogs:
@distracted-dragoon is my main blog, which mostly has reblogs and general FFXIV things on it. I'm a console player so unfortunately I can't use mods (RIP all the gposes I want to do but can't). My sideblogs, listed below, are for my own work only.
I often cross-post things from my sideblogs to my main. I keep meaning to remember to add #srb to any cross-posted posts but I do forget a lot of the time!
General OC-related things like screenshots, lore posts, new characters, etc. can be found at @echoes-of-ancients.
Character lore/stories can be found at @shadows-of-sundered-stars. While I will try to update it as often as I can, updates may be a bit sporadic as I've got a few other responsibilities to manage at the same time. I think Rhunara's story will probably be completed first!
I love doing tag challenges and things like that, so please feel free to tag me in them or send me an ask if you have any questions about any of my OCs! Some of them are more developed than others (as a general rule, the Viera are the least detailed at the moment) but I always try to put as much thought into them as I can :)
