She can usually be seen with finger gloves and some sort of necklace and she’s a sucker for high boots. Most days, she’s either donning her favorite pair of chakrams or diamond knuckles.

Significant Other: Kaia has been in very few relationships, getting easily bored with the men and women of Ul’dah because none ever stimulated her mentally. She's finally met her match in her girlfriend Mako and finds herself completely enamored with the other woman.
Siblings: Chani Moonglow (oldest sister), Nori Moonglow (older sister), Yoko Moonglow (older sister) and Fomih'a Moonglow (older brother).

Smoking Habit: Never smokes.
Drugs: Doesn’t do any normally but may partake in certain social situations.
Alcohol: Drinks socially but tries not to do so in excess.

ℝℙ ℍ𝕆𝕆𝕂𝕊 ––– –
An Odd Mixture: Kaia was born into a mixed family with a Keeper for a mother and a Seeker for a father who left his people behind in search of something better. While she is unlike most of the members of her family and considered the black sheep, she is like her father in that she is searching for a life better than the one she’s always led.
Fighting Family: Every member of the Moonglow Family is a prized fighter, including Kaia, but she isn’t anywhere near as violent as the rest of them. While they all possess short tempers, it takes a lot for Kaia to lose hers. It is a rare occasion to see her completely pissed off but she isn’t afraid to politely (and sometimes not so politely) put you in your place.
Aspiring Dancer: Despite what her parents always planned for her, Kaia wants to dance more than she wants to fight. After meeting a talented Viera in Vesper Bay, it’s been her dream to be the best dancer she can be and one day perform for people on stage. She started off horribly but she’s been getting better as she learns along the way.
Ships That Pass: Kaia has left her home of Ul’Dah and crossed the borders of Thanalan for the first time ever. Very much a traveler, she is making her way around Eorzea and meeting all kinds of people along the way. She’s extremely friendly and outgoing and has an appetite for learning, which results in her randomly talking to people and asking all the questions they’re willing to answer. A sponge, she is curious about different cultures and peoples and is always looking to expand her knowledge of them.
Other: I’m happy to plot out anything else you may come up with in DMs and/or on Discord!

I’m looking for long-term, platonic relationships and I hope I can help this girl get a few people in her life she can consider her chosen family. I’d really love for her to have friends and have her vibe with others, it’s so fulfilling! Kaia is friendly and can also hold her own, so I’d love to toss her into any and all situations. Drama, romance, comedy and conflict are my favorite things to write, especially when it helps to create/develop storylines. Please feel free to message me either in-game, in DMs on Tumblr or on Discord to discuss anything and everything. I love communicating with others about our characters and how they’re faring together.
Will Write: mature/erotic, fluff, slice of life, unique plots, long-term lines, comedic lines.
Please only 21+! No exceptions.
Will Not Write: Racism, Homophobia, Transphobia, Abuse, Death.

You can reach me over on Discord at rémydee, in a message on my Tumblr and in-game. Kaia also has a carrd here: https://moonglowk.carrd.co/. Please don’t message me if you’re not serious about writing something with me or will die off before we even get to write. I’ve talked with too many people to set up lines with no follow through on their end :[
As a child, Sotiris was nearly pulled into the Thirteenth by an unstable voidgate. Though he was able to be pulled back to the Source, a part of his soul/aether was ripped from his being and was seemingly swallowed by the void. However, unbeknownst to Sotiris, Charis was born from his torn soul.
Want a nice cut-out picture? transparent chromakey shots are here to save the day!
You can achieve this with a combination of two features in ReShade: ChromaKey.fx, a technique that generates a greenscreen effect, and Clear Alpha Channel, a toggle located under the Settings tab.
1 - Setup
Make sure PNG is selected as the target format since JPG doesn't preserve transparency!
Also, don't forget to re-enable Clear Alpha Channel after taking your shots - otherwise, you may capture completely black shots!
2 - Enabling the Shader
Place Chromakey.fx right after FFRestoreUI.fx- otherwise, your UI may be hidden by the shader.
3 - Take your screenshot!
You should now be able to capture shots with transparency properly preserved!
Chromakeyed, transparent images can be used in several different situations! For example, I often use it to create tutorial slides.
What about reference cards for art commissions?
Or maybe stickers with your friends. Or Discord emotes. Or whatever strikes your fancy. The sky's the limit!
This is my first guide adapted to ReShade. If you have any questions about this feature or other aspects of ReShade or GPose, feel free to ask!
And if you need a handy guide to help you migrate from GShade to ReShade, here's a link!
Recently gave Avery yet another makeover and I am significantly happier with his design now than I've ever been. Ft him and his bf making out in the rain.
I’m a slut for sitting in comfortable silence while both of us do our own thing and occasionally show each other something dumb on our computers like that’s the good shit my dude.
What might have occurred, had I been weaker? Mayhap, my honor would have held out...for a time. Like any gentleman, of course I would have faced away, courteously minding my own nightly hygienics, just as we'd have done guilelessly in the past without thought or hesitation.
But how long could I have borne it? What might have been the key to inevitably unlock that heavily-guarded door? Any moment, any little thing at all could have induced me, then and there, to yield.
How long could I have aimed sight at the breath of steam that misted the looking-glass, whilst hearing the halting patter of her bare feet upon the floor as she tiptoed her way to the tub behind me?
How long could I have trained myself on the spreading mist as it thickened into a wet fog, with the sound of her slow plunge into the bath, the quiet lapping against its sides?
How long could I have studied the fog as it grew heavy enough to bead, whilst droplets drummed the surface of the water, dripping from her skin as she doused herself?
How long could I have fixed upon those swelling beads of water, strung across the wooden frame? Until they had stretched, and fallen like drops of rain? Until their weight unraveled them, bore them down, as though gentle fingertips had trailed across the face of the mirror? Until naught more was left of them but ghostly, evaporating streaks?
How could I possibly have endured her soft moan at how the water enveloped her with its soothing heat as she sank deeper within it?
I'd have been a consummate masochist to have brought such torment upon myself. Aye, undoubtedly, I would have driven myself stark, raving, mad.

stupid, sexy water.
