FFXIV RP | Who's Your Warrior Of Light In Roleplay ? 

As a note, I will cease taking submissions for this round on Wednesday October 5th! That way I can catalogue everything and see if we'll be doing one video or a series! Thank you for all of the submissions thus far!

VIDSAFE : Dunesfolk, age 19, and from the southern Isle. He makes a living through fishing and as a cook. He enjoys traveling, experiencing new culinary arts, learning new dances, fishing( of course), and visits orphanages to help when he can. He is an orphan himself and would like the young ones to have a good childhood and a choice to do what they want. Throughout his childhood he has been mistaken as an adult, for being taller(3’2’’) then average lalafell. Can’t wait for your future videos. I’m still learning on about rp.

VIDSAFE: My WoL is a light-skinned female elezen, aged: 30 years old with a name of Chloe Loiseau, She is a ishgardian elezen, who migrated from the home city to Limsa Lominsa to become schoolar and a book worm, she is intelligent and proficient in magic. She is studying aether magic and work on time manipulation, inventing new ways to influence time with aether and magic. She wish to invent or find out a way to heal people by reverting time. Since i didnt liked the wildwood elezen i picked duskwight race due to the skin color i found more "cool" (in sense more bluish) and higher INT stats was also the reason behind my choice. Thats it for now :P

VIDSAFE "Names Sass. Sass Affrass: Bartender... ...and I'm not addicted to beer, just the taste."

VIDSAFE Khiro is a male Miqo. He grew up sailing as a part of his adoptive father's pirate fleet, but a change of circumstances brought him to the mainland and he and his sister found themselves on their own. They made a life for themselves, first as criminals, but then went straight after they realised the harm they were doing to others. Now they operate something of an anything business. It handles research into ancient relics, acquisition of such treasures from dangerous ruins, and security for VIPs. Since coming to the mainland, they've met and adopted another sister, and made other friend two, building up a new family of their own. Nothing in the world is more important to Khiro than family.

VIDSAFE: Auvo Evergreen is a Golmore-born Viera who started, but never finished his Wood-warder training. He left the jungle on accident fighting an Imperial incursion, and was forbidden to return. This loss haunts him still. For a Viera, he's young, 19 at the start of ARR. He fought with a small group of battle-sisters in Dalmasca, and followed one to Kugane when she was injured and needed time to relearn to fight. Instead of returning with her, he went to Eorzea to keep learning to fight while away from the Empire. He struggles with public spaces, having been trained to live alone, but he has a group of close friends with the Echo he can talk to (he's not fluent in Common yet, but he's learning!) and they teach him to fight.

VID SAFE Jinneva Drakennov A female Raen in her late 20s (or so she'd tell you), Jinneva Drakkenov has an almost ethereal visage. Her long hair is the color of fresh snow. Her eyes the color of ice. And her skin the color of mist. Buried beneath Jinneva's cold demeanor, is a burning intensity for all her passions in life. Competing against opponents, focusing on her hobbies, or telling bawdy jokes, Jinneva shows little restraint in her personality. Jinneva's backstory is one of being a self-made business woman. Her business pursuits, which are somewhat legitimate, take her to the shady dens of Ul'dah, and the cold streets of Ishgard regularly. You may find her skulking about, looking for trouble, regardless of how it starts.

VIDSAFE: 'Bliss' (shortened from his Thavnarian name Ablisja) Male Raen, age 24 an Orphan of Radz-at-Han. He was taken in by a member of the radiant guard, trained in combat and joined the guard at around 14, which he worked for a year before a ship heading to Limsa Lominsa awakened his inner adventurer, which for him tends to be strong enough for him to abandon his post on the spot. since arriving in Eorzea, he's taken special interest in the Sultansworn, Ishguardian (aswell as Sharlayan) Astromancy and after a few runs in with an Entity known as Equity, Taken up the mantle of a Dark Knight. he currently works with a mercenary company run by a few close friends, specializing in defensive contracts and as of a dew days ago, has been working on combining his arts into a single school, to pass onto future generations thanks to a chance encounter at this years Ul'Dah's 'Rising Festival'

VIDSAFE Talon Majestor is a 26 year old Elezen man of Ishgard. (My headcanon is that he's the heir to a 5th high house of Ishgard.) He learned the be a samurai from Master Musosai (sam teacher) from his love of the Far East and its customs. Majestor, being the keepers of Ishgard's knowledge and history, can be tracked back to Sharlayan in lineage. Being originally from foreign lands his family is viewed lesser than the other noble houses, except Fortemps.

VIDSAFE My character owns a bar with her mercenary friends. When she isn’t building a comfortable route to her home of Dalmasca from Eorzea, she organizes jobs for her allies and occasionally joins them in the field. Odette Crest, Zalera

VIDSAFE: Reanas Sinita [Ray-nuhs Sih-nee-tah] (26 y/o female Seeker of the Sun) Growing up in Gridania, she experienced the racism and discrimination Miqo’te face there. Taking up conjuration while she was young, she did her best to help people out of her kindness and to keep herself fed without a place to call her own. After the Calamity she took up lancing before leaving to Ul’dah to be a sellsword, finding she more enjoyed protecting with a lance and her newfound black magic as opposed to healing after a conflict. The loss of some close allies as the WoL has left her bitter towards many things, but a good cup of tea or bowl of soup calms her down right quick. A bitter, angsty and violence prone woman, she answers problems with a lance or staff before questioning motives.

(VIDSAFE! Also sorry for spelling mistakes, english isn't my first language and my brain is a smooth as a jello) Sayu Manaka is a keeper of the moon, 18 at the beginning of ARR and 22 in EW (idk how much time actually passes between all the expansions so this is just a guess/headcanon), and a healer (All healing classes but mostly Scholar), born and raised along side her twin brother Keri'a on one of the islands around Limsa. Her starting out as an adventurer was only supposed to be a gap-year type situation before she was supposed to take over the farm of her parents where they mostly grow fruit, but then the whole ARR shebang happened and now she's the WOL, whoops. In between her adventures all around the globe she likes to get to know the locals and write letters about her experiences to her family, be a plant mom to her overly green apartment (in gridania obviously) and take her little nephews (brothers kids, born in post EW) out on little day-trips, visite friends, attend events or just hang out with the pixies in Il Mheg. She went through a bit of a midlife crisis after the happenings between ARR and that one very sad thing in HW after that one dungeon and impulsively cropped her hair, tried to shoulder the trauma on her own and eventually became a shut in but thanks to her friends, who were having none of that, she pulled through. Through SB he was basicly an emotionless machine, just pushing through, doing what she had to, no real thought or feelings behind her actions until the emotions she had buried deep were brutally clawed out of her chest in SHB, forcing her to confront them and really come to terms with her inner turmoil. When she came out the other end, she was a whole new person with a new found apreciation and perspective on life. She adopted a new attitude, partially thanks to who she lovingly dubbed "Sassmet-selch", her best firenemy and mostly thanks to her learning to rely on her friends for support and that, just because she is the chosen one, it doesn't automatically mean that she has to carry all the pain and burden by herself. That's when she started to let her hair grow longer again, as a symbol of her healing process. She doesn't expect the worst anymore, instead she believes that they'll be able to make it if they just try...and if they don't? Well then that's a problem they'll tend to when they get to it. And in between it's important to never stop having fun, because having fun and joy with those around you is what make life worth living and the fight worth fighting. She doesn't really subscribe to an religious believes or pray to specific gods, not even hydaelyn. Instead one might catch her say things like "Urianger give me your patience", choosing to call upon her friends rather than some god that will probably just be a primal to smack in the end anyways. But that doesn't mean she's not interested in what others belief in, quite the opposite actually. Religion and gods are a huge part of many cultures and even the lives of intividuals so it is important to her to learn and understand them as best as she can. That way it's much easier to make connections with others and it gives her more experiences that she can share with her friends by attending events that relate to thier believes and show her support, especially when that belief is being stigmatized and twisted by bad stereotypes (like the whole thing with the people who believed in peace in HW and were being hunted as heretics for worshipping shiva and what she stood for). As an adventuer she has a tendency to rack up quite the pile of gear she doesn't use and if it's still in good condition she'll donate it to the newbies in the adventuers guild or to the newbies in her FC. If she has the time, she'll even accompany them out on quests, not really doing much, just hovering near by and keeping an eye on the new kids just enough so they'll get the fullfillment of completing their own quests without her accidentally carrying them through or having one of the newbies get into something they can't get out of. On trips like these she always makes sure to bring food for everyone, as well as potions and bandages. Because of this her fc-mates have dubbed her "the Fairy-Squad mother" Hope you enjoyed my hella long text wall! ^^

VIDSAFE : Tristain Everclaw, formerly T'riz Tia. After growing up with a brutal Nuhn for a father that would brutalize any challenger, even his own sons. And my entire life I was brought up to challenge him. He'd train me till I cried, beating in any skill or lesson he needed to teach to make me and my brother's powerful fighters. After a time of seeing one brother fall after another. I was the youngest son, I had to watch every single fight where I'd lose a brother to my father. A brother I lived with, trained with, and succeeded with, all die one after the other. When the time finally came for me to issue my challenge my father told me one thing. I had one advantage none of my brothers ever had. I got to see where they failed so I wouldn't make the same mistake. Seeing how none of my brother's ever left home for fear of reprisal or banishment, I bit the bullet and did it. My father threatened me with banishment should I choose it, but the rights of a Tia do not demand the acceptance of the clan to challenge. So I take off on my own settling in the city of Ul-dah. I find a job with the Miners guild and when asked for a name I wanted to sound more city, and cultured. So I offered the name Tristain Everclaw, it seemed like something a rich guy would say. And if I was going to make it out here to train enough to beat father, I needed capital, and lots of it. Spending hours and days in the silver mines, in the Gridanian forest. Eventually earning the rights and passage into Ishgard through a select group of friends that I keep separate from my civilian life am now able to mine and work in the Coerthas region safely. I hate every second of it. The cold was bitter and made the tip of my tail hurt, but I pushed through it and made millions in my mining operation. Splitting off and hiring two apprentices of my own for more resource income. But while in Ishgard I find a crisis. One of my best friends I've ever had. One of the first people who ever accepted me for myself, and not for what I could do for them. That man died trying to save my life. I knew in that moment as he told me to smile that I needed to be the Hero. I was not going to be able to push that title away and think of myself as just someone there. Shortly after the end of the Dragonsong War I discover a man dying in Foundation. He had just fought off and killed a group of Temple Knights in defense of a young woman. He tells me his story and gives me a crystal. The crystal gave me power, so much power. But that power came at a cost. I was able to push past every limit I had before, but the power had a cost. The sheer amount of Dark Aether I was using would burn up any ability to cast spells I had. Eventually it'd break my aetheric core and kill me or worse. I take up a new weapon. One I had seen an enemy use long ago and made it my own. I became a gun breaker. I didn't need to use any magic to fight like this. I just had to be me to the fullest. I pushed myself like this with no armor to defeat a great tyrant, shattering his hold on an entire nation. Me, I did that. I was able to stand as the hero in a moment and finally I knew I was ready. When I return to Eorzea I find a letter waiting for me. It's from my mother. About two months ago my father was challenged. Not by one of his sons, but by his own brother. For the first time my father loses. And because of the Warrior style of fighting the only way to beat him was to kill him. My Uncle won. My father died and I wasn't the one to do it. I wasn't the one to save my sisters, and any future brothers I'd ever have. All of this, everything I had done till now. All the pain I suffered up until now, it had been for nothing. I didn't need to thrust myself into these dangerous situations to prove myself, to anyone, but I didn't want to stop. I had seen the effect I was able to have on people. I could go home and challenge my uncle and maybe I'd win. But if I became Nunh then I wouldn't be able to do what I'm doing now and helping the people I care about the best I can, then that means I can't go home to challenge him. ~I know that was really long and you probably weren't expecting that much, but I just really don't get to tell people all of that normally. I really hope I'm able to catch this video if I pop up in it.

VIDSAFE Diana is a miqo'te keeper of the moon raised, like many, in Gridania. However, unlike most, her father had a strong positive reputation as a musician among gridanian folk, sparing her the derision that she'd normally get. Thirsty for knowledge from a young age, when she was six, she apprenticed under a sharlayan scholar in New Sharlayan for around six months, leading up to the great exodus, which she and her teacher did not join. At age thirteen, her teacher left her at the Arcanists' Guild, and disappeared. Studying with the Arcanists, Diana soon found her calling- linguistics, particularly that of the so-called 'beast' tribes. She believed it could help facilitate peace to speak to them in their own tongues. Currently, she's married and holds a strong mother complex towards the members of her Free Company, The Linguists' Guild. Despite the name, it is a general scholastic guild that keeps a number of adventurers on retainer, for acquisition of 'research materials'. Most recently, Diana earned her Archon marks with her knowledge of tribal linguistics.

VIDSAFE: Highlander, Age 19, From Al Ahmigo While still extremely bitter, and rightfully so with the Garlean Empire and despite her worship of Rhalgr, she turned to healing when displaced from Al Ahmigo during the calamity, and was taken in by Gridania at the age of 14. Her interpreted 'cowardice' from picking up a non-violent form of profession however, still leaves her as an outcast both as a refuge, but also an outcast with her father and people in little Al Ahmigo.

VIDSAFE Niko Dokars (20 or so years old, Xaela) Was a miqo'te before and came to Limsa Lominsa as a fledgling adventurer She joined the marauders guid in hopes of being accepted to the rouge guild. On one fateful day she got a Fat Cat minion from a passing stranger and treasures him to this day. After the REDACTED incident she joined a Free Company of old adventurers with strong bonds and fit right in. That company is long gone by now. She always dreamt of becoming a dragon, so when she found a fantasia in her back-pocket she instantly became an Au Ra and is a very proud "mewing" catgon. An adventurer by trade, she is constantly out of money and tries her best to earn gil fiighting stronger and stronger creatures. She doesn't exactly care about seeing the world, but isn't opposed to traveling, if there is a strong foe to find. After a long journey full of sorrow and happines, loss and victories she finds new friends all around the world and beyond. Changing her jobs as she sees fit. Quite capable in arts of Paladins, Sages, Samurais and Machinists. Jack of all trades but master of none. At least she can cut a watermelon. Also, people who try to hit on her get almost instantly rejected. Got trown out of a tavern once, for trying to beat up a pesky clown in a chocobo mask. (sorry for the cringefest, i am not exactly an RP person, just... Happy to share my WoL)

VIDSAFE I kinda want to share my story but I don't know who will like it. The general gist is that I am a male au ra who when he was younger survived trial by combat in Ishgard and was then adopted by a noble. The family used him as a pawn to further their goals pushing him to eventually join the knights academy where he was persecuted by his peers and jeered at. However he kept fighting and eventually graduated at the top of his class, slowly gaining the respect of those around him with his tactical acumen. He fought shoulder to shoulder with the other nights eventually being assigned to the 13 division outside of falcon nest. After driving off a dravian horde with the aid of two other divisions he they began to head back, however they were ambushed by a secondary force. Estartk left the battle field with heavy scars and only a tenth of the troops that initially marched out. The husband of his current captain, a female elezen name Lucrinia had turned coat. The force was called back to Falcons nest for investigation where both Lucrinia and Estartk came under heavy scrutiny. Even to the point of being imprisoned together, during which time the two fell in love and became a couple. After almost two years of this they were finally freed as the heretics took full credit for the attack. Estartk was then made vice Captian of the 13th. Two years later and Dalamuld fell, the thirteenth were stationed in a vigil that the Heveansward directed the dravians to attack as it was a way to prolonge the war. Lucrinia was slain in the first attack, but it was done by a spell that sent her body and soul to the void. Where it was soon corrupted and became the voidsent Xixal, part Atomos and losing the last of her memories she pushed her way through the aetherial sea to reach Estartk. It was just a scant few moments for him as he fought to ensure the rest of the knights could flee. However the dravians, growing tired of him dropped the fortess roof on him. Something which should have killed him, and almost did, had xixal not interviened. Binding herself to him he was able to move his body like a puppet on strings and flee. With all that said and done...he promptly passed out. That's the biggest part to know there is more, how he took a leave of absence from the order and became a mercenary, how he became a reaper. Ect....but this okay for now

VIDSAFE My character has a rather long backstory, but I tried making it short and simple (There's a bit more with his backstory, but yeah, just keeping it basic) Leon Morikawa Midlander Hyur, age 16 (Post Fantasia: L'on Morikawa Seeker of the Sun) Half Eorzean and half Doman, and grew up mainly in Gridania. Both of his parents were adventurers, though his mother a WOL. His father disappeared while adventuring and a year later his mother died during the battle of Carteneau afterwards. During that battle, 11-year-old Leon was sent to live with a family friend in Kugane. Over the years of conflicting feelings, he was considering learning Thaumaturgy to take revenge on the Imperials. But on the other hand, he wanted to follow in his mother's footsteps as Conjurer to help people. He finally decided upon being an Arcanist and took a boat to La Noscea to start his adventure. He eventually became a Scholar and found the love of learning and just generally helping people out and lost any sight of revenge. After the trial with Titan, and finding out the Imperials were looking for him, he took a Fantasia in hopes to be in hiding until he can find a way to rescue the Scions. (I only recently discovered your channel! I don't RP a lot in-game but I love writing and storytelling. BTW, When I made Leon, I had no idea Alphinaud and Alisaie were also 16! Lol! Story was edited as the story continued. I had L'on ever since 2014 and has been my main)

VIDSAFE A 20 year old Viera hailing from a long-forgotten tribe in Southern Othard, Erso was a Wood-warder, protecting his tribe at any cost. Known to be reckless, he was almost always seen with new wounds by those close to him. He quickly reaching the title of master. Soon disaster struck when the Garlean Empire invaded the woods where Erso's tribe resided. Although the Wood-warders fought valiantly, they were no match for the Garleans magitek, and they quickly fell. Erso was terribly wounded in the battle, standing as the last line of defense to protect the women and children. He stood no match against an entire legion, and by official counts, died that day. Thanks to Hydaelyn's intervention, he woke up to his tribe's village burned to the ground, somehow surviving his fatal wound. He soon fled to Eorzea, seeking refuge in Ul'dah as a sellsword, taking up the moniker of gunbreaker, swearing to protect those who can't protect themselves.

VIDSAFE 32, Keeper of the Moon, Ehri'to "Ehri" Nelhah (She/They) Born in the Shroud in 1547 of the Sixth Astral Era, the second son of four. Later in life Ehri found realized they were trans, and made the change, but kept the male naming convention as her full name to honor her brothers whom had (presumably) died in the Battle of Carteneau. In youth, she always had a book in her grubby mitts. Having heard and read about the War of the Magi, she set her sights on being a powerful mage like those who fought in that conflict. Rejected from the Conjurer's Guild for this ambition, she entered into the service of one of the wealthy Elezen families, as a book keeper. Ehri eventually earned enough to travel to Ul'dah to apply for entrance to the Thaumaturge Guild, whom applauded her thirst for knowledge and magical aptitude. Taking up with the adventurers guild to further quench her thirst for knowledge, she eventually met another Keeper whom was in dire need of a book keeper. She joined hid free company, working as an accountant by day, and as an adventurer for hire on the weekends. Character carrd: ehri-nelhah.carrd.co/

Meanwhile you have me:....with Lectes, the knight

VIDSAFE A 19 year old xaela woman that was raised in Dravania by her older brother after the death of their clan at the hands of Ishgardians (remember Sidurgu's background) After the death of her brother 4 years prior, the girl set off on her own to see more of the world and eventually fell in with a group of explorers in need of protection so she has traveled with them ever since, wandering the world looking for things no one else ever has.

I just discovered this video via the recommendations and now I am intrigued. So I will share my main character's story. VIDSAFE: Mythridel Valerine, a wildwood Elezen of pale skin with white hair and light blue eyes. She was born as part of a minor noble house of Ishgard, but after being displaced as a child by the destruction of the Dragonsong War as the only surviving member of her family she found herself lost and wandering aimlessly towards the Shroud. A Gridanian Elezen who was a botanist by trade took her in and became her adoptive father. She spent the next several years in Gridania as her new home where she met and married a Midlander man and had twin daughters that looked Hyur in appearance except for their pointed ears. Myth and her husband fought as soldiers in the Battle of Cartenau, but again Myth found herself the survivor while her husband fell in the field. The trauma and effects of the Calamity affected her memory and she was again lost and aimless winding up in Ul'dah as a refugee. Since then Myth has made a name for herself as an adventurer, regained her memory, reconnected with her family, and expanded her skills into various magical arts in order to study and understand the nature of Aether itself. Recently she has even gone so far as to reconstitute House Valerine upon her return to Ishgard and with the help of one of her daughters and her new fiancé she seeks to aid her native home as it adapts to changes resulting from the end of a thousand years of war. OFFVID, unless you want to share links to carrd sites in the video so I leave that up to you: I'm actually working on redoing her carrd site to cover more than just her story but that of the entirety of House Valerine from my PC alts to NPCs I've created to add to the story. If you're interested it is house-valerine.carrd.co though currently it's just one page. I will publish the full thing once I've gotten all the fundamental stuff added in. 😄

VIDSAFE A displaced daughter of a seeker family from Ala mihigo. Father was lost in the resistance and the mother and daughter fled to New Gridania. Mother was besieged by Forneus in the central shroud. Her last name was given to the demon as an effort to assuage it. Now she works as a foot soldier in the Machinst deployed to Gridania to earn money for her mother.

VIDSAFE A Xeala Dothral, she's the reincarnation of a tribe member's miqo'te lover, while ridiculed for her poor abilities as a healer that her predecessor had, she left the steppes to go to eorzea to immerse herself in her past home, and once she'd accustomed herself, seeing no future in relying on her abilities as a conjurer, picked up an axe and never looked back, though maybe not losing her affinity for healing completely.

VIDSAFE I'm a lazy slacker who only goes on adventure because they have nothing else to do and need to pay rent. They employ retainers that they like very much, one is named after a long lost friend and the other after their favorite gemstone. I always take the time to give them the best possible equipment, this much I'll put effort in. I'm non-binary, sarcastic and very honest. Also a sweet tooth I love drinking unnecessarily expensive potions just to feel more powerful, all the time, even when it's not a crisis. I love cat and live in a very goth themed apartment.

VIDSAFE Pre-Fantasia: Old Man Roe, an old roegadyn archaeologist and historian who's passion was digging into the past for the truths about various places and weapons from history. Currently spending time at Bronze Lake studying Nymeian civilization artifacts. Post-Fantasia: Rose the highlander, Orphaned around the age of 5 during the Garlean takeover of Ala Mhigo. Currently works at a traveling circus, and after a chance meeting with X'rhun Tia and learning of Red Mages, uses her travels as an excuse to practice red magic and grant succor to those without the ability to seek it out for themselves.

VIDSAFE Kicking myself for not finding your channel until now, but here goes. Adeus Rideus is a tonberry. Before the Plague he was the third son of a wealthy merchant, and a poet. Once the rancor subsided and he came back to his senses, he was horrified at what havoc he'd wrought and swore off drawing his knife against any Spoken ever again. Amassing a collection of thick robes and face-concealing headgear, he learned to move through Eorzean society, and even took up music. He travels often, but instead of fighting he relies on stealth and charisma to avoid trouble. Instead of the plunder other adventurers bring home, he seeks out vistas to inspire his quill. He's published enough to make a living as an author. Downside - after certain Scholar quest events, he promptly got punted to the back of the line for any cures or treatments, precisely because he can maneuver in society so well without being cured.

You should include some way for people to send you a gpose of their character so you can include how they look in your video

Jae’su Fyod a seeker of the sun miqote from Illdyshire Jae’su age 24 currently spends his time as an adventurer with the scions of the seventh dawn however before he joined he was a researcher of aetherology and Astrology, he spends his free time hanging with his friends and studying some tomes of the past so he can quench his thirst for knowledge on all things Magic

VIDSAFE Majutsu-Shi, a Miqo'te mage, was born to a secretive assassin clan and suffered a brutal warriors' upbringing from the age of six. At fourteen, her unusual proficiency with magic allowed her to earn her name, and later, her freedom to operate on her own. It was her natural curiosity which drew her to watch and learn ninjutsu from her elders, and would later lead to her breaking away from the clan entirely. When she finally freed herself, she spent the following years watching people, listening to their conversations, trying to adapt and mimic others to fit in with society. It would be quite a while still before she finally found a voice of her own, and now finds herself surrounded by friends who seem rather fond of her strange mannerisms. She has taken up magical research and work as a Gleaner for Sharlayan, to suit her fascination with both arcanima and the myriad beasts of the world. Oh... and she's also a rather proud beekeeper. :) There's more at majutsushi.carrd.co/ if interested!
