Scatterbrained Mage Dork Looking For Friendos

Name: Eleanor “Ellie” Blackfeather Age: 21 Race: Midlander Hyur Gender: Female Sexuality: Bisexual Martial Status: In a Relationship Server: Balmung

Physical Appearance:

Hair: Blonde Eyes: Blue Height: 5'4" Build: Slender, almost a runner’s build as she explores and walks a lot. Distinguishing Marks: n/a Common Accessories: Blue necklace. In fact, blue just about everything. As it’s her favorite color, it’s not uncommon to see her in blue. Aside from that, she has a sword (Red Mage) that she often carries. It’s black with some blue… but she runs lightning through it, making blue sparks fly from it whenever it’s in her hand.

Personal:

Profession: Professional adventurer, researcher, and low-key investigator. (Of which she often calls herself “the inBESTigator”.) Hobbies: Reading, playing the piano, singing, getting in trouble, and exploring dank old ruins. Languages: Common Residence: [CLASSIFIED] Ellie doesn’t like people knowing where she lives because her home is a place of laziness and relaxation. She doesn’t want people barging in on her. Birthplace: Ala Mhigo Patron Deity: Fears: Responsibilities, desk jobs, being unable to walk.

Relationships:

Girlfriend: Shaziya Argali Children: None Parents: Esther and Roland Blackfeather Siblings: Ember Blackfeather, Cyrus Blackfeather Other Relatives: Arrius cen Valens (very distant cousin)

Traits:

extroverted / introverted / in between disorganized / organized / in between close minded / open-minded / in between calm / anxious / in between disagreeable / agreeable / in between cautious / reckless / in between patient / impatient / in between outspoken / reserved / in between leader / follower / in between empathetic / unemphatic / in between optimistic / pessimistic / in between traditional / modern / in between hard-working / lazy / in between cultured / un-cultured / in between loyal / disloyal / in between faithful / unfaithful / in between

additional information:

Smoking Habit: never / sometimes / frequently / to excess Drugs: never / sometimes / frequently (Fogweed to calm her nerves) / to excess Alcohol: never / sometimes (it’s extremely rare) / frequently / to excess

Possible Hooks:

Explorer/Traveler: It’s possible for Ellie to be in just about any location at any time for any particular reason. If there’s a ruin, she’s likely to want to jump into it. Aspirating Red Mage: While still training, Ellie’s always open for more tips and tricks into the world of Red Magic. Researcher of all things Nym: It’s a fascinating subject to her. Aspiring wildlife conservationist: Ellie’s a big fan of animals and ensuring forests are protected from harm. Very newly aspiring void hunter: After witnessing, first hand, how voidsent and all things void have ruined lives, the concept of hunting down voidsent and destroying them has piqued Ellie’s interest. Adept with Allegan tech: Interested in all things Allegan, Ellie’s dedicated a significant amount of time in figuring out Allegan technology, how it works, what it does, and how to use it. Music: Ellie enjoys singing and playing the piano… though she won’t play or sing unless she’s comfortable. Looking for Friends: Ellie’s always looking for more likeminded people that she can feel comfortable being herself around. Gullible as hell: It’s not hard to trick Ellie.

What I’m looking for:

So far, I’m looking for contacts, maybe FCs, and definitely linkshells! I’d prefer my character be able to meet some long term friends. Story-driven contacts or even just casual contacts are both fine. Heroes and villains are both fine. Ellie’s a huge dork, so even if your character just needs someone to pick on for a bit is fine! Honestly, I’m really just looking for RP in any form outside of my current circle of friends (WHO ARE GREAT, but I’d like to do more outside of my comfort zone). At this time, I’m not looking for romance-driven plots, shipping, or ERP as my character is in an established healthy (so far) relationship.

OOCly, I Am: My time zone is Central Standard Time! Also, I work overnights, which makes my availability weird. So from 4pmCST to 8pmCST I’m 100% free if I’m not playing Destiny 2 or something. I’m sadly, very rarely in game as I really only log on to RP, and I’ve been doing less and less of that lately, hence this post, and me trying to change that. However, on Mondays and Tuesdays? I’m free almost all day and night. I tend to stay up all night and can spend hours upon hours Rping. I love talking about RP and RP plans and plots, and am generally very open to just about anything.

You Can Contact Me Via:

You can contact me through Tumblr (but I only check it once or twice every couple of days) or much faster through Discord at “Detective Popcorn#1337”

Expect Wildstar Refugees

As most of you might know, Wildstar shut down today. It, in my opinion, had an amazing and thriving RP community that remains passionate about the game even now after it’s been shutdown. Many of them are looking for a new MMO to go to, and many have expressed interest in FFXIV. If you see any of these guys, please treat them well, be nice, and be respectful. They were all great people, and it really sucks to have your game of choice shut down like that.

I’m sure it goes without saying, but please give them a warm welcome.

I love how you can see worrier of light smile and optimism fading slowly with every new big cgi expansion cutscene they release

MAGIC TATTOOS WERE CONFIRMED A THING BY KOJI FOX AHHHHH

(Apparently there’s more info about those in Encyclopedia Eorzea Volume 2, but according to Koji, Monks already use aether-infused ink to imbue tattoos onto their forms - i.e., Pacifist’s set - and help direct and strength the flow of their aether!)

This makes me feel better about Orion’s tats.

[rinikett143]

Hello everyone! My character is L’rinhi Kett, a half seeker/keeper of 20 turns now and I’ve been rping her since she was about 15. Throughout the years I have had the chance to meet many wonderful people, make memories that will never fade, and friends that will last a life time. I was previously quite active on the RPC and ran the company known as The Wayfarers of Eorzea for four and a half years. Recently, about half a year now, I closed my company due to IRL complications and a messy schedule. However, I do hope to open my bar back up sometime soon.

Nowadays, Rini is available for a wide spread of rp hooks. From being a music teacher to a professional jeweler to being an up and coming chef, you can find just about any reason to bump into the cheerful, bubbly miqote. This tumblr will have updates on my character, listings for events, possibly art as I learn to draw and my partner shovels commissions at me. I will also be holding a few giveaways for those who repost the announcement when given and I’m always open to further advertising rp events so feel free to contact me if you would like me to promote your event.

If you would like to ask my character or myself a question please feel free to, and if you would like to RP don’t hesitate to ask either! My channel will be sfw for the most part with a post being flagged if it ever does have adult content. Please feel free to follow me and I will follow in return~ I look forward to meeting all of you. ^.^

P.S. If you don’t mind, I appreciate any reposts of this to make my way into the community. I hope to hold a give away soon but would like to give as many of a chance to win as I can…. Having more friends is nice too. XD
