Hells, ya GRANDMAH could fix that in 'er sleep! Fixin' shit is easy...but inventin'? THAT'S when we start havin' FUN, GAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Hello, and thank you for stopping by my blog! I'm Hazel and this is one of my alt characters for FFXIV RP. My pronouns are he/him, I'm an early 20's college student still trying to figure out what to do with my life, but I'm getting there!
I'm still very new to roleplaying but I've always had a ton of thoughts and ideas about my characters so this blog is both to help consolidate those thoughts and to also share them with anyone who wants to see them.
Fish's Carrd can be found here if you want a quick overview of things, though I will be going more in depth with who he is on this blog. My main FFXIV character's page can be found here as well.
I'm situated on Zalera (Crystal) and spend most of my time either raiding or taking GPose shots, but regardless I look forward to seeing everyone around the great, vast star we find ourselves on.
About Fish
Exploding Goldfish, yes that is his name (but most everyone just calls him "Fish"), was born to a family of miners in Uldah. Throughout his life he was surrounded by heavy machinery, sparking a lifelong love of machines and inventing. His youth was spent learning everything he could about technology, including Garlean Magitek. His studies eventually paid off and he scored the job of his dreams working as part of Garlond Ironworks...at least for a while.
An accident during a project cost Fish partial vision in his left eye and his position in the company. Scarred and humiliated, he drifted for months before finally finding secure work and pay at Wolves' Den Pier. There he spent his time maintaining and repairing the machines used in the Grand Company's "Rival Wings" competition, and when he wasn't working on repairs he was drowning his self-pity in alcohol.
It wasn't all for nothing, however. While at Wolves' Den, Fish chanced upon meeting a scrawny Viera living under the pier; Qara Wen. It took some coaxing but eventually Fish was able to befriend him, and over time that friendship evolved into brotherhood. And so when Fish was recruited to become Chief Engineer on the merchant ship The Enduring Deeds, his one request was that Qara be welcomed aboard as well.
