Althea Zaduren

The Selkie Crytsal Researcher, a Long Way from Home..."...that is why I will always keep it with me. To remind me where I came from. To remind me of my purpose, whenever I seem to have forgotten it."

About:

Althea hails from an island located far off in the Sea of Jade, where people rely on crystals to combat the detrimental impact of miasma. As a member of a renowned Crystal Caravan, she actively sought out Myrrh, a precious substance essential for maintaining the luminosity of the crystals. Fueled by her determination to liberate her loved ones from the suffocating grip of miasma, Althea embarked on a journey to Eorzea, a realm untouched by the necessity of crystals for protection.She established herself as an adventurer and worked towards bettering herself so she could help those she met along the way, always striving toward saving her home. However, like many heroes, the more you prove yourself, the more people will seek you out and ask for your assistance, causing the original goal to be put on hold.(Funny that Althea is my main and yet she’s my character with the least useful information written. I’ll get around to re-doing her about section soon, so bear with me! There’s just so much about her that it’s hard to choose what to include!)

Notes & Fun Facts:

  • If you know or recognize the Selkies from Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles, you may remember them being a rather short and shapely race, at least in the case of the females. Though Althea's overall body shape is very similar, she is much taller and even has slightly pointed ears due to her Elezen ancestry. She also has a beauty mark beside the left corner of her mouth.

  • Althea is a Warrior of Light / Warrior of Darkness character. She has fought Primals, Garlemald, Dragons, and all of the other things involved with the game's MSQ.

  • Althea's name when I first joined the game was 'Althea Lapointe', which was meant to be a joke on the fact that I chose to start as an Elezen lancer. Now her first name is the funny part, since I main a healer now.

Viken'ti Ostberg

A shy individual with a heart of gold."I may not be very strong, but I'll help in whatever ways I'm able. I promise."

About:

Viken'ti serves as Althea Zaduren’s ever-faithful retainer and one of her closest friends. He was born frail and highly susceptible to illnesses. The pregnancy nearly killed his mother, Katen'ka, and prevented her from having any other children. Viken'ti was born with a weak heart, pale skin that would easily burn, and his left eye was mostly blind and white. Growing up, he lived a sheltered life due to his limited stamina and often felt embarrassed by his poor vision. He would choose to stay indoors most days, occupying himself with menial tasks and always hiding his impaired eye behind his hair. When he and his mother encountered financial and medical difficulties later in his life, he decided to join the adventurer’s guild despite the challenges he would face, intending to take on only simple errands and investigations.His plan failed to work out for long due to another adventurer who joined the guild around the same time as him and took all of the easy jobs. His name was Rozael, and he was an over-confident egotistical individual who derived pleasure from testing the limits of this weak new addition to the guild. Viken'ti, driven by a newfound ambition to prove himself superior to Rozael, began training tirelessly. However, no matter how hard he trained, Rozael always had the upper hand due to his natural talents. Nevertheless, as they acclimated to being in the guild together and even started receiving joint job assignments, their friendship grew stronger. But Viken'ti could never overlook the pain caused by thinking that his weakness burdened Rozael, and one day left on a solo mission to try and prove himself. Consequently, Rozael chased after to rescue him from certain death, and Viken'ti sustained an injury that prevented him from continuing as an adventurer. Upon the insistence of both Rozael and his mother, Viken'ti decided to apply as a fieldcraft retainer instead.He is presently employed by Althea and Rozael, along with a Xaela girl he befriended named Vritra Kha. Althea was the first to hire him early on in her adventuring career, and she taught him the majority of what he knows about fishing and business tactics. He has begun exploring Disciples of the Hand and Disciples of the Land, recognizing that gathering and crafting offer the greatest assistance to his friends now.

Notes & Fun Facts:

  • Viken'ti was born prematurely and ended up very weak and frail as a result. His left eye is white and almost completely blind, while his other eye is severely near-sighted. When he was very young, he used to be bullied by other children because of his poor vision and 'ugly' eye. As a result, he now chooses to keep his bangs long in order to always cover it, and gets anxious if he thinks someone may have caught a glimpse (for example, if a gust of wind blows his hair away).

  • His skin is very fair, sensitive, and burns very easily. He's the kind of person who would easily develop a scratch or bruise from something as simple as bumping into someone at the market.

  • Viken'ti dresses in modest clothing to protect himself from sunburns, but also has to be cautious about the fabrics he wears because rough materials (like burlap or coarse linens) can irritate his skin. The freckles all over his body appeared after experiencing multiple sunburns as a child.

  • Additionally, he has an intolerance to certain metals and can only wear accessories that are hypoallergenic, such as leathers & hemp braid or metals such as silver, gold, copper, titanium, and stainless steel.

  • Viken'ti, his mother Katen'ka, and his chocobo Anastasiya all have Russian inspired names.

  • He is left handed.

  • He suffers from a mild to moderate case of Aether Sickness.

Rozael Bonacieaux

The cocky paladin with a slight gambling problem."What is bravery, without a dash of recklessness?"

About:

Rozael is originally from Kugane where he grew up with his foster parents. This esteemed Elezen couple was part of the Ruby Bazaar and enjoyed a vast network of acquaintances, clients, and allies across Ul'dah and Eorzea. They took Rozael under their wing as if he were their flesh and blood, for they themselves were unable to conceive and have offspring. They wasted no time in imparting him with knowledge in mathematics and sound business principles, hoping that he would someday take over their enterprise. However, Rozael had different aspirations. He had no interest in boring record-keeping or being told what to do. Instead, he preferred spending his free time enjoying parties and causing mischief to challenge his guardians' authority. He longed for adventures that involved travel, allowing him to meet new people and form fresh partnerships.His wish would soon come true, but unfortunately for him, it happened under less-than-optimal circumstances. In one of his drunken states, he finally did something extreme enough that the law had to intervene, and his parents did everything they could to secure his release. As his punishment, he was sent to Ul'dah in their place (under close supervision), with the task of delivering a contract to a group of merchants there. Upon arriving in Eorzea, he wasted no time completing his mission, knowing that the sooner he finished it, the sooner he could enjoy his free time. However, old habits die hard, and he found himself in trouble in Ul'dah after sneaking away from his Far Eastern escort. The brass blades took him into custody, and the money-grubbing individuals who frequent the Coliseum showed interest in him. They struck a deal with his parents, stating that all his crimes would be forgiven if he trained with the gladiators' guild and fought his way out of the Coliseum.Consumed by a newfound resentment for the only family he's ever known, Rozael quickly dispatched the other competitors in the Coliseum and completed his training under Mylla, moving on to study under Jenlyns as a Free Paladin. Having tasted freedom, he vowed never to return to the Far East, instead opting to join the adventurer's guild to fulfill his long-held desire of exploring new lands. This is where he encountered Viken'ti, a timid and inexperienced Miqo'te who was clearly out of his depth. Rozael enjoyed challenging Viken'ti with increasingly difficult tasks to help him grow, but this only bred hatred from Viken'ti and caused tension between them initially. As time went on and they crossed paths at the adventurer’s guild, Rozael realized that he had developed a growing fascination with Viken'ti and a desire to understand him better. However, it proved difficult as Viken'ti simply wished to avoid him.Over time Viken'ti warmed up to Rozael, and their friendship blossomed. Rozael made it his mission to protect and uplift Viken'ti, frequently volunteering to accompany him on assignments. This dynamic continued until Viken'ti sustained an injury, leading to Rozael hiring him as a trade retainer. They spent their time together whenever possible, and soon realized that their connection had surpassed mere friendship.Nowadays, when they are apart, Rozael explores the land in search of thrilling adventures and captivating tales to share with Viken'ti as well as joining Althea and the Free Company for exciting quests when they require assistance.

Notes & Fun Facts:

  • While Rozael exudes a very confident air and always seems self-assured in his actions, deep down he's extremely insecure and greatly cares about others' opinions of him. It's for this reason that he strongly dislikes discussing his upbringing, as people often assume he is naive or feels superior to "common folk." To avoid delving into his past, he may occasionally propose absurd or reckless activities, or suggest indulging in drinking and partying.

  • Even though Rozael is from the Far East, his name is not Eastern. He was named by his adoptive parents, who are Wildwood Elezen.

Vesmina Do'rae

The cold-hearted huntress, shrouded in mystery."No one need suffer as I have. I would spare them that fate."

About:

Vesmina and her brother Valas hail from a hunting village on the outskirts of Lakeland that was devastated by Sin Eaters about 10 years ago. They encountered a young man named Dio who happened to be in the vicinity when he overheard the commotion, and he assisted in repelling or eliminating the remaining Sin Eaters. Sadly, so few of the villagers survived the assault that they unanimously decided to abandon what little remained of the village and embark on their own separate paths. Fueled by an intense desire to put the place behind them for good, Dio, Vesmina, and Valas hastily departed for The Crystarium and have since established a shared residence there.After struggling to make money in crafting and other similar occupations, Vesmina (or Ves, as her closest friends and family call her) and her brother decided to become bounty hunters, hunting both powerful sin eaters and wicked beasts alike. Ves prefers using the hunt as a means to study the sin eaters, whereas Valas sees it as more of an opportunity to exact his revenge and rid the world of these abominations in the process.
(This passage can also be found on Valas's page.)
At present, Vesmina earns the majority of her income from hunting, but she has also explored woodworking or horticulture. She actually displayed great potential in those fields, but opted to commit herself to hunting instead as a demonstration of support for her brother.

Notes & Fun Facts:

  • Can frequently be found in The Wandering Stairs Bar in The Crystarium, passing time and looking for leads for hunts. If she is not there, however, she is also known to spend much of her time in The Cabinet of Curiosity.

  • sometimes speaks in broken sentences, as if she is searching very carefully for what words she wants to say.

  • Conversation with her can sometimes feel like she is not fully focused, as if thinking on other matters entirely.

  • Vesmina's companion chocobo's name, Brizcryl, is a name created from the Drow language. It is a combination of the word briz, meaning "graceful, fluid, water," and the word cryl (feminine), meaning "ally, companion, friend."

  • **She is actually much taller than average auri/drahn women, I just haven't updated her height/weight to reflect that quite yet.

reading talking about herself

Valas Do'rae

An ill-tempered, cynical bounty hunter."I'm not here to make friends. I'm just here to finish my job and get paid."

About:

Valas and his sister Vesmina hail from a hunting village on the outskirts of Lakeland that was devastated by Sin Eaters about 10 years ago. They encountered a young man named Dio who happened to be in the vicinity when he overheard the commotion, and he assisted in repelling or eliminating the remaining Sin Eaters. Sadly, so few of the villagers survived the assault that they unanimously decided to abandon what little remained of the village and embark on their own separate paths. Fueled by an intense desire to put the place behind them for good, Dio, Vesmina, and Valas hastily departed for The Crystarium and have since established a shared residence there.After struggling to make money in crafting and other similar occupations, Valas and his sister decided to become bounty hunters, hunting both powerful sin eaters and wicked beasts alike. Ves prefers using the hunt as a means to study the sin eaters, whereas Valas sees it as more of an opportunity to exact his revenge and rid the world of these abominations in the process.
(This passage can also be found on Vesmina's page.)
Valas currently earns the majority of his income by taking on increasingly challenging hunts, with a particular focus on pursuing Sin Eaters. While he feels most comfortable operating alone or alongside his sister, he remains adaptable to collaborating with fellow hunters in times of necessity. During his free time away from hunting, Valas invests his time in conducting research and trials using innovative machinery and technology alongside his trusted companion, Reinmar Gerhart. The Allagan technology found within the Crystal Tower greatly intrigues Valas, prompting him to frequently explore sectors of the tower that have not been restricted by the Exarch.⤜⋆✧✩✧⋆⤛ ⤜⋆✧✵✧⋆⤛ ⤜⋆✧✩✧⋆⤛Notes:- He tends to hang around The Wandering Stairs much like his sister, catching any gossip about potentially dangerous Sin Eaters.
- If you ask any of the regulars of The Stairs about Valas, they likely wouldn't have much good to say about him. He's got a reputation for being hard to approach and hard to talk to, and is known as a bit of a heartbreaker because of his past "relationships."
- Valas has extremely obvious dark circles under his eyes, made only the more obvious by his pale complexion. He has insomnia, and suffers from frequent nightmares and sleep paralysis, making it hard to actually rest when he finally does fall asleep. The most common dreams he experiences are of the night their home was attacked.
- He makes a point of making himself look put together, but in reality he's an unbelievably unorganized and messy individual. Anyone who has had the "pleasure" of being invited to his personal quarters have told stories of seeing clutter and trash all over the room, though none have ever seen his bedroom specifically since he's never allowed anyone that far before.
⤜⋆✧✩✧⋆⤛ ⤜⋆✧✵✧⋆⤛ ⤜⋆✧✩✧⋆⤛Fun Facts:
- Valas' companion chocobo's name, Imaxle, is a name created from the Drow language. It is a combination of the word im, meaning "devoted, heart, love," and the word axle (masculine), meaning "ally, companion, friend."

Nowadays I mostly play with close friends and family and log in just enough to keep my houses and play patches.If you're here from Twitter (hi, how are ya), I tend to keep to myself so please don't take any offense! I'm down for casual conversations and replies on tweets but I tend to forget to check notifications.---
