FFXIV JOBS ▶ ASTROLOGIAN

↳ Ever has man coveted knowledge, and none more so than that of his fate. Thus did he labor to master the skill of foresight—but initial efforts bore little fruit. That is, until he looked to the stars above, which foretell the coming seasons, and learned to read the heavens.Though this gift is known today as astrology, the people of Sharalyan saw fit to not only read the stars, but to write their movements as well. By attuning their aetherial energies to that of constellations, they learned to wield magicks with heretofore unseen properties.Thus was astromancy born—a new form of magick which grants its users power over fate. Employing a star globe and divining deck in their miraculous deeds, fortune always smiles upon these masters of arcana.

FFXIV JOBS ▶ RED MAGE

↳ On the eastern edge of Abalathia’s Spine lies the mountainous region of Gyr Abania. It is in these elevated lands that people took shelter, when a burning star guided them away from the Sixth Umbral Calamity’s treacherous floodwaters. The survivors gathered from near and far, and amongst them were refugees of the sorcerous cities of Mhach and Amdapor. These sworn enemies buried their history for the sake of the future, and cast aside their vestments of black and white. Upon the remnants of their arts a new discipline was built, and the first red mages stepped forward with rapiers in hand to fight back against the rising tides of destruction.

Khuja'to Tayuun

“Really, Khuja. We’re going to dance this dance again, aren’t we.”

VISUAL ATTRACTIVENESS: 💗💗💗💗💗“I mean this hasn’t changed from last time. And if I didn’t give this many previously, well.. just consider that I gave that much in the first place. Just pretend that I gave that to begin with. Please. It’ll be better that way for you.“

FRIENDSHIP LEVEL: 💗💗💗💗💗“I debated this for awhile and I suppose that this is the best answer. While we’ve kind of drifted apart because of your situation, I still think we know each other the best. Or at the very least, in ways that we don’t often think about.”

SEXUAL DESIRE: 💗💗💗💗“I’d give you a higher rating here. But I think you know why I gave you this many. It could be a lot higher if circumstances were... more in our favour.”

ROMANTIC INTENT: 💗💗💗💗“This could be higher, too. But I think you know why it isn’t.”

“Don’t worry though, I still love you. I hope the kids are doing well.”

Yun Gardner, return fire for the heart thing

@smoke-and-mantras

VISUAL ATTRACTIVENESS:💗💗💗💗“Mmm… I suppose I have to admit that Yun’s attractive. Maybe even moreso if he wasn’t plastered with a grumpy face all the time.”

FRIENDSHIP LEVEL:💗💗💗“I think we trust each other enough. But I’m not really the type of person to give my trust freely. He trusted me enough to do a card reading for him, if that’s any indication.”

SEXUAL DESIRE:💗💗💗“For now. I trust him, but I don’t think I trust him enough for this. Maybe if he worked on it, and I was… free.“

ROMANTIC INTENT:💗💗💗“Yun doesn’t seem like the man to easily get romantically attached to people. He seems like he keeps a safe distance to people. But everyone has a side that others don’t see much.”

What Shape Does Your Pain Take: Lance Barrington

Picture

A picture. A single image reminding you of someone or something you've lost, something you don't want to live without. You can't seem to move on, to accept life has changed, to live again. You're trapped in the picture, in the past. Maybe this was a lost family member or friend, maybe this was a sickness that isn't going away, maybe this was sinking into depression. But you can't help but remember how life was before, how life after will never be the same, and can't help but feel that nothing in the future will be able to fill the hole the past left. Nothing lasts forever... Right?

There is a part of Lance that hasn’t let go of the past. But perhaps he is slowly learning to move on...

Quiz here!

Welcome back to another Eorzean Calendar brought to you by @rakuza‘s characters! Took a bit of a small break in posting them because I had wanted to get on track with the current month/moon and I had forgotten to post this in the month of October. (It had been a little crazy busy!) For the Fifth Umbral Moon, I present to you Lance Barrington once again! I asked a few friends to think up of any questions one might have for Lance so here they are!

Q: What is his favourite drink, meal, and place?

His favourite drink is rolanberry juice. (He likes most juices but this is his favourite.) His favourite meal includes anything with some kind of steak. (His favourite steak thus far is auroch.) And his favourite place to go is the area around Hermits’ Hovel in the Outer reaches of La Noscea.

Q: Why did you make him in the first place?

This is not an easy question to answer, but a lot of it is just personal reasons. Lance easily fit one of my other character concepts that I’ve used in the past (hello City of Heroes!) and because of that, I decided to create Lance while keeping his previous incarnation in this game. Yes, Lance was not always a Hyur Midlander.

Q: How big is he underneath those pants?

How the hell does one answer this without incriminating anything bad/shameful? You should be ashamed of yourself for asking this! But let’s just say he has pleased every partner he’s sexual relations with. That should give you an idea of how big he is. :D

Q: What are the reasons why he doesn’t love Khuja? ( @khujatotayuun )

Hey, we’ve gone over this before. While Lance does not approve of Khuja’s life choices, he does not judge him for them. If only Khuja wasn’t so involved... Well, you of all people should know the answer to this! :D

So far, I’ve been having fun RPing Lance ever since the change. His character and core personality and ideals never did change. He did, however, become a much more jaded and cynical character because of the events that have happened in his life in the past few years.

👫 …someone who has a crush on my muse.

"I didn’t even realize that it’d only take one alcoholic-laid kiss for someone to have a crush on me. But I guess that’s what I get for expecting everything to go a certain way. He’s definitely someone I could call a friend and I know he’s hoping for more. It’s hard with him being so nice and handsome... and he knows the culinary arts. But with his situation and mine just not jiving with one another, I’m afraid friends is where it will stay. I do have to admit though he speaks odd, even for someone in Limsa. Hmm...”

💔 …someone who broke my muse’s heart.

“Are you sure you want to know about that? The last person who broke my heart was someone I wish I could strangle. I was lead on, used, and taken advantage of. He was a midlander like myself. And he was a red head. He was someone that didn’t know any of my friends, and likely for the better. But when a man you were very much attached to just suddenly says ‘I never want to see you again’ and ‘I’m leaving for good,’ you can’t help but feel like the lowest form of grime.“

Fatal Flaw - Lance

Fatal flaw: Your brutal honesty.

You’re blunt. You’re outspoken. Frankly, you’re kind of a jerk. But you get away with it because you’re usually right and also because you’re indispensable to the major plot. But honestly? It’s going to come back to haunt you. One of these days, you’re going to be TOO honest. You’re going to refuse to lie at a critical juncture, upholding your honorable caustic truthfulness, and you’re going to pay the ultimate price for it.

Test here

Send ™ to hear what my muse thinks of yours, nothing held back! (Lance)

Bax smirked as he rubbed his cheek with the back of his hand, leaving a mark of flour across it. “Lance.. Mm t’lad is somethin’.. somethin’ good.” his fingers returned back to the dough on the wooden counter. “Seems like ‘e ‘as a good ‘eart.. n’ ‘ead on ‘is shoulders.” a small chuckle was muffled behind that lopsided smile. “Wish.. well I sort o’ wish I knew what it was like t’really kiss ‘em. But..” he shrugged his shoulders as his fingers worked the fresh mixture. “Not really gunna ‘appen now, but I’d still like t’get t’know ‘em more. Quiet but I think it’s just nerves, can be firm when it comes down t’it.” He flipped the ball over stretching it a different direction. “Pretty good lookin’ but..” he trailed into a few more chuckles, his hair flopped back on his forehead as his head shook.
