[FC Recruit] The Conservatory

Far below the foundation of a once thriving scholasticate, an arcane secret lurks in an ever-shifting labyrinth of nightmares and curiosity.

Just above the sublevel resides a fellowship of wardens tasked with keeping this terrible secret and protecting the world from its malevolent and incomprehensible presence. They’ve formed a company of academics and adventurers aimed at carrying that burden and gathering the resources necessary to continue their secretive work through acquisitions, mercenary work, and research with the hope of some day healing the aetherial scar one of their own brought into the world…

K’tara - Pulse

((cw: sexual content, violence themes))

A shitty little Ul’dah bar like the Horn and Trumpet was exactly the sort of place where K'tara would expect herself to hole up for an afternoon whenever she was feeling particularly pathetic, which made it not at all unusual that she was slumped over a table, barely paying attention to the cloudy yellow tequila in her glass. A tall raen man played a smooth brass solo in the corner–the eponymous horn and his trusty trumpet–but K'tara wasn’t particularly moved. She shuffled her feet under the table, grinding her heels against the grit and grime, and kept a watchful eye on a woman at the other end of the bar.

When she’d been told that her ex had been shacking up with some junkie cunt named ‘Ray’, K'tara had expected to find some strapping highlander woman named Rachel with bandaged fists, not this tiny little blonde thing with flowers poking out of her hair, laughing and talking with two other raen over glasses of foamy holiday cider. She looked like the kind of girl to crumple like tissue paper the moment things got a little froggy, and it almost took the fun out of fantasizing about collapsing her windpipe.

Almost.

📃 For Hoshi!

Their first impression:

“The first time I met Hoshiomo, it was at a Saint’s Wake party. He’s like… seven fulms tall, and he decided to dress up as a goblin? It was kinda funny and kinda endearing. He got up on stage and gave a very unimpressive goblin impression. I just thought he was a total goofball, and I couldn’t really get a good look at him from behind the mask. I was under the impression he was one of Kanna’s boys she was seeing, and I had other things on my mind, so I didn’t really have any interest in him.”

Their current impression:

“Hoshi is so loving of me and everything around me. I don’t think I’ve ever met a person who’s been so enamoured with me. It’s nice. He’s childish, but in a good way. I feel like I can fool around with him, completely forget all my hardships and just have a good time. He’s crazy in bed, I don’t know where he got that from. You wouldn’t guess it from how he acts in public. He’s carefree, whimsical, strong, and so hot.”

What they like the most about your muse:

“Hoshi is just really fun to be around. He’s really relaxed and playful, he’s like… a kid at heart. He reminds me of boys I used to know in Yanxia when I was a little girl, which makes sense because he has the same upbringing as me. He shares my trauma too, which makes me wonder how he’s not as broken as I am.”

What they dislike the most about your muse:

“Before we were dating, he said some very hurtful things about me. He barely knew me, and I guess I made him mad to the point where he said some pretty judgemental shit about me. I don’t like him when he’s angry. I haven’t seen him like that since but… I can’t help but feel that he still holds those judgements against me.”

What your muse is for them ( Friend, lover, rival ecc.):

“He’s my lover. We’ve spent almost every moment together over the past moon. I haven’t had a problem with him since we started dating and… I hope it never comes to that. I’m pretty sure we’re meant for each other.”

A general opinion of their relationship:

“I think we’re soulmates. It’s like we could’ve been childhood sweethearts. Maybe in another history, we actually did run into each other in the markets outside Doma City. It feels too good to be true.”

If applicable, something they wish to reveal:

“I think it might be too good to be true.”

[vibrantstillness]

📝 Michishio and Rae :3

Their first impression:An actual Doman? I’ll need to be careful around this one. She seems relatively uneducated, so it’s likely I may merely claim Doma is large, and things are different where I am from… Everyone has accepted that so far. It’s strange to use the size of surface-dweller’s own countries against them, but perhaps ignorance is a universal trait? I am no better. At the least, she seems pleasant. It’s nice to have someone about a little more… attuned to doing things the way I’m accustomed. I wouldn’t be averse to tea sometime. I’ll just… be cautious.

Their current impression:Never have I met a woman so wholly driven by whim and sentiment. Some may think her foolish, and I would not be inclined to argue. I rather think her… true to herself in a way few dare, for good and for bad. Clearly she has made many poor decisions, and continues to make more. But to compromise the purity of her drive would be to unmake her, I fear. She lacks wisdom, but how may one teach this? How arrogant is it to assume one has the proper wisdom to impart? I pray only her choices lead her to a place of happiness, free of the struggles she now faces… and with luck, has begun to conquer.

What they like the most about your character:She is genuine and open to a surprising degree, without being overbearing. She is mild and gentle by temperament, but has the resolve to reach for steel if necessary. Or does she? I know she has before, and seeks to do so again. I don’t know that I’ve ever seen her actually fight… Regardless, she has a simplicity about her that is comforting. I don’t particularly care to admit it, but I also enjoy a mischievous streak.

What they dislike the most about your character:She is weak. There is no pleasant way to put it. Whether in yielding to another or to her own impulses, she is buffeted about by life’s tides and dashed upon the rocks again and again for simple want of a firmer hand upon the rudder. Whether it’s someone to keep her out of trouble she needs or simply the time to cultivate fortitude of her own, I know not… Yet her impulses also seem to lead her to seek men who encourage her less constructive urges. I wonder about her latest paramour… A shinobi with poor judgment? How does such a man stay alive?Or… is he simply presenting himself that way… I shall need to get to know him better. For Rae’s sake.

What your character is for them (Friend, lover, rival etc.):Somehow, she’s managed to become an adoptive little sister.  I am… still not entirely clear how that came about. She seems so in need of care and so genuinely elated for any warmth she’s given, it’s quite difficult not to become fond of her. She reminds me of an old friend of mine, in a number of ways. About as warm and… eager to seek embraces, nearly as brash, yet far more self-destructive. I may have my work cut out for me.

A general opinion of their relationship:Warm. Congenial. Looking back, it’s almost… worrisome how she so quickly punched through every barrier of polite distance and hesitance (and yes, shyness, I’m not ashamed to admit my own nature) to become friends. Is it really so simple as she makes it or does she have some quality, some gift that lets her merrily dance past all defenses and the shuffling lockstep of social procedure? It’s nice though. I can talk to her without worrying about station, distance, deference, seniority… I owe her nothing, but somehow I feel compelled to look after her. I may yet have things to learn from her.

If applicable, something they wish to reveal:I love her but her fogweed stinks and if I ever catch her with anything harder again I’m going to think of some way to terrify her into going straight. Don’t underestimate the power of elder sisters.

Just stopping by to say your characters are gorgeous and lovely!!

ahhhh, thank you thank you, kind anon !!!

📝 For Soliam

Their first impression:

“I don’t really remember much of that night. I think I was on my third day of a pretty rough bender… I guess I thought I could wander back to The Aureate Ward and ask Liana for my job back? He was the first person who found me passed out on the steps, and he woke me up and tried to get me help. It was… really sweet. The rest of the night is still kind of a blur, but I remember him crushing my petals when I tried to chew more. I was so angry at this old man that I started smacking him, but he stuck with me anyway. I thought he must’ve been into me or something.”

Their current impression:

“I think he’s sweet, kind, wise… All those good words you can say about someone. He’s never been malicious to me, and even stuck by my side when I was basically a complete stranger to him. I think he just wants to help people; he’s really selfless.”

What they like the most about your muse:

“He’s wildly kind and charming. He’ll sit and listen to me bitch all day and night about my life and he’ll never speak or give a judging look. I like that he has a lot to offer me.”

What they dislike the most about your muse:

“Soliam gets… sad sometimes. I’ve seen it, you know, in his eyes when he speaks. He doesn’t deserve that, and hell, if he can get through all the hardship in his life and still be sad, what hope do I have? I wish he’d be happier, and I wish he’d stay in one place. He’s too old to wander now.”

What your muse is for them ( Friend, lover, rival ecc.):

“He’s basically my dad at this point. Or granddad? I don’t know. I like to think he and I are really close, and that he has a lot to teach me while also making sure I don’t get into trouble. It’s nice having someone for that.”

A general opinion of their relationship:

“We’re very close, and no matter how long we go without seeing each other, we can always speak freely. It’s a good thing we have.”

📝 any for any

Evette –> Rae

Their first impression:

“It’s basically impossible to remember. When I joined the Aureate Ward, it had a number of timid, quiet little women who weren’t really worth noticing. It took a while for Rae to stand out among them.”

Their current impression:

“Last I heard, she had relapsed and was back on drugs, despite everything Luther did to help her. I never thought she’d change for real. People like her rarely do, but I had hoped she would. That was foolish of me.”

What they like the most about your muse:

“She didn’t let Luther break her. She must have some guts, somewhere deep. If she could find them more often, she’d have an easier life.”

What they dislike the most about your muse:

“Most people seem to like her, although I can’t really figure out why. She doesn’t speak much, she doesn’t do much. She’s nice, I guess, but what purpose does that serve?”

What your muse is for them ( Friend, lover, rival ecc.):

“Nothing. I had forgotten all about her until she showed up on Yosai’s doorstep out of the blue right before I left the company.”

A general opinion of their relationship:

“It’s hard to have an opinion about nothing.”

If applicable, something they wish to reveal:

“He and I fucked while you were asleep in the same room.”

Spark - An RP Story

My #ffxivwrite2018 entries spanned a number of my original characters and several of my ongoing roleplay plots, but I also had one self-contained and completed story in the mix, and I wanted to collect all of its parts in one place and set them apart from the broader challenge.

Below is the story of how K’tara Tyatu, an Ala Mhigan malcontent, came to Kugane with her best friend, a lapsed Qestir named Kimi, to learn how to sell drugs and do arson from a young Hingashi yakuza named Makoto Matsuoka.

It’s a romance. Of sorts.

This story spans multiple character viewpoints and contains themes of violence, sex, drugs, arson, manslaughter, ritual mutilation, and depression. Several parts contain explicit sexual content. The full story is about 10,000 words.

Letter (K’tara)

Serendipity (K’tara)

Glow (K’tara)

Validation (K’tara)

Plateau (Makoto)

Marked (Kimi)

Spark (K’tara)

Rae for Evette

Their first impression:

“There’s a dark lady who’s been around the estate more often recently.She seems really important, always talking to Luther and Liana. She sits with Liana at The Argentate every week; I wonder if they’re, uh... close. I don’t wait those tables though, so I don’t know. Best keep my nose out of their business if I want to keep this job.”

Their current impression:

“It’s for the best that she’s out of my life. Her and the rest of them. She... She told me once that she wasn’t out to get me, that she didn’t want me dead or to ruin my life. Maybe she meant it but... She worked with Luther, she watched what he did to me. She never seemed sorry for letting that happen. She fucked my boyfriend, teased me by even coming to our apartment afterwards and touching him in front of me. It’s been too long for me to still be angry, but I’m glad she’s gone.”

What they like the most about your muse:

“Do I have to say something nice? If I have to, I guess... She’s very confident. She intimidates me, and I guess that’s a good thing. I bet she gets whatever she wants.”

What they dislike the most about your muse:

“I mean, she fucked my boyfriend. She’s remorseless and she doesn’t give a shit about what I feel. I know we weren’t ever close, but I would think you’d at least try not to hurt people around you.”

What your muse is for them ( Friend, lover, rival ecc.):

“She’s nothing now. She’s gone. She’s a part of a bad memory that I’m trying to forget.”

A general opinion of their relationship:

“It wasn’t much of one. We worked for the same company, and she had an unfortunate hand in some of the worst days of my life. With each other, I guess we were polite. That’s it.”Bonus below the cut!

Rae for K’tara

Their first impression:

“I haven’t met her yet, but the first time I see her I’ll think “I bet that girl can eat pussy”.”

Their current impression:

“She’s great, I just wish she would eat my pussy.”

What they like the most about your muse:

“The way she eats pussy.”

What they dislike the most about your muse:

“The way she doesn’t eat my pussy.”

What your muse is for them ( Friend, lover, rival ecc.):

“My hot girlfriend who eats my pussy.”

A general opinion of their relationship:

“Generally, I like the way she eats my pussy.”

If applicable, something they wish to reveal:

“I’d like to reveal my pussy to her lips.”

LFRP -- Makoto Matsuoka, A Yakuza in Exile (Mateus)

Basic Information:

Full Name: Makoto Matsuoka Gender: Male Age: 25 Race: Midlander Hyur Birthplace: Kugane Current Residence: Ul’dah (temporary)

General Character Info:

Sexual Orientation: Bisexual Relationship Status: Single, dating around Occupation: Yakuza thug, drug peddler Notable Features: Clean-cut grooming with crisp and flashy clothes, tattoos on his face, back, and shoulders, and a stubbed little finger on his left hand. Physical Appearance: Black hair, dark brown eyes, 5′11″, muscular but slim. Personality: Often underspoken, slow to anger but prone to stewing in his discontent, frequently depressed, sadomasochistic, and a master at projecting false confidence.

Hooks:

Yakuza: Makoto works for Kiyoshi Matsuoka, a lieutenant of the Ito clan, under boss Miyoko Ito. The Ito clan is based in Kugane and sprawls across most of Hingashi, and has alliances with several clans in Yanxia as well. The Matsuoka family is in charge of the drug trade and protection of the Kugane pleasure district. If your character is current or former yakuza of any clan, or is otherwise familiar with the underbelly of the Kugane pleasure district, they may already be familiar with Makoto or his boss.

Thug for Hire: Makoto left Kugane and came to Eorzea to wait out the heat from a botched arson job. While he’s here, he’s going to need something to do to make gil. He has a few scruples, but not too many, and he’s skilled with his fists and with knives.

Drug Addict: His drug of choice to take and to sell is Serendipity, a Matsuoka trademark drug with mildly hallucinogenic stimulant and euphoric properties, taken as a snorted white powder. He’s also familiar with Somnus and many opium-derived drugs. If your character has a name for buying or selling illegal drugs, he might seek you out.

Hedonist: What is an aimless young man to do in a foreign land for two whole seasons with no pressing responsibilities? Courtesans and prostitutes, fighting rings, pleasure clubs, fancy or unique restaurants, and anyone offering him a novel sensory experience will be high on his list of priorities.

OOC:

Server: Mateus Timezone: EST Type of RP: Crime drama, action/adventure, gratuitously torrid interpersonal intrigue, sex and relationships, hurt/comfort, gritty with a side order of absurdity. Contact: thatsadorbsyo#6895 on Discord, or Tumblr message.

Looking For: Fellow yakuza members (allied or enemies), anyone involved in the drug trade, people who might have jobs for criminal elements, people to swindle, people to fight, hedonists, revenge-seekers, RPers who have a healthy sense of humor about their mafia soap opera plots, multifaceted characters of all types who aren’t afraid to grow and evolve in response to character interactions, and anyone with a similar writing style as me.

Not Looking For: People looking for a villain to beat on to make themselves look like a hero, people who are too attached to an aesthetic to let their characters grow or change, and IC/OOC emotional crossing (IC sexual or romantic interest does not mean OOC interest). I do not “multiship” but I also cannot OOCly promise IC monogamy because I will not get my characters involved in any situation that restricts my ability to RP freely with my IRL romantic partner.

Writing Style: To get a sense of how I write and how I play this character, feel free to browse the #makoto matsuoka tag on my Tumblr.

LFRP - Wyra’to Coeurlkin.

Basic Information:

Full Name: Wyra’to Mhakaracca. Nicknames/Titles: The Coeurlkin. Gender: Male. Alignment: True/Lawful Neutral. Age: 21. Race: Miqo’te, Keeper of the Moon (Seeker Mix) Birthplace: Quarrymill. Current Residence: Ul’dah.

General Character Info:

Sexual Identification: Heterosexual. Relationship Status: Co-Habiting. Occupation: Fist of Rhalgr, Combat Instructor. Enemies: None currently.

Hooks:

Bloodsands Veteran: Wyra’to was pushed into competing in many fighting events by his master over the years for the sake of his training. Maybe you fought against him, maybe you were a fan, maybe he cost you a tonne of gil by beating your fighter. Shroud-born: Up until his fourteenth summer, Wyra’to lived around Quarrymill with his mother and sisters, interacting with a great many of the Ala Mhigan refugees who took up residence there. Childhood friends who haven’t seen him since then, or maybe even Wood Wailers who’d scolded him for his constant pranks may also remember him now. Sandwalkers Shame: The chosen student of a disgraced master, Wyra’to often finds himself at odds with those who know of Shaka’s crimes. Surviving members of the Fist and their students may be looking to settle the score, perhaps even mercenaries looking to make a name for themselves. Hothead: Wyra’to isn’t one to back down from a fight, for better or for worse. Stories of his barfights, alley brawls and outbursts of anger have spread through much of Ul’dah, with some looking to either soothe or goad him into further episodes.

OOC:

Server: Mateus. Timezone: GMT (but I’m around late enough to interact with most zones!) Type of RP: Adventure/Combat/Mature. Looking for: Fellow adventurers, potential students, friends & rivals. Contact: In-game OR via my Tumblr.

What’s my writing trademark?

I’ve seen this for art, but what about my writing makes you go, “ah, that’s a _____ production”?

[thatsadorbsyo]

it’s friday evening and im struggling not to take an ill-conceived nap, so do this and then reblog it so i can do it for you

[rae-naeuri]

There’s a few things that are fun about your writing. As Brem said, there’s little OOC nods in the narration that are fun. I like the little details you illustrate your characters as noticing. You write in third person, but you do a great job illustrating how they tend to view the world around them from that perspective.

One thing that makes me distinctly think “Kala” is two characters having a heated and/or adversarial conversation, and then fucking. I don’t know if it’s fresh in my mind because of K’tara and Makoto, but I swear there’s been one or two other stories with a different pairing that had that paradigm.
