Born From Ashes

Eorzea-Based Characters

Garlemald-Based Characters

Following the events of 6.0, most of the following characters have been relocated to Eorzea or the Far East

NPC Characters

*Due to limited game-time, these characters are roleplayed about as often as the others (by means of discord), though I don't have in-game avatars for them. They do, however, have fleshed out backstories and personalities, and are generally treated as full characters in their own right.

Retired Characters

The following characters are no longer active or are deceased. As such, they are not available for RP.

Non-Canonical Lore

The following information is non-canonical lore that I have written along with other roleplay partners and groups. While respectful of the lore of XIV, I have taken some liberties to expand on it in what I believe to be a lore-friendly way of world building. If you’re interested in RPing in any of these groups, please contact me! I love RPing with new people.

House Ferrum

One of the most influential families in all of Garlemald, almost all Imperial citizens know of them. Their wealth and power dates back generations, earning them their position at the top of Garlemald’s nobility. With their ties into many branches of the military, government, science divisions, and even intelligence, they are one of the few families that would have a legitimate claim to the throne should the current line of emperors fall.Their influence and fame has earned them as many enemies as it has sycophants; one does not rise to the top without stepping on others along the way. Rumors and gossip of them are often the topic of conversation between nobility as a pleasant pastime. Many seek some way to marry into the family for a chance at their power or a way to worm into their services, for those who do want for very little in life.6.0 Spoilers:Following the events of the Final Days, House Ferrum was devastated like many other great houses. Only two of the Ferrum bloodline are known to have lived (excluding those who joined by marriage). It is impossible to know if they will ever recover from the devastation of their home.Notable Members: Atticus sas Ferrum ✝, Marius nan Ferrum, Nerilla goe Ferrum, Constance cen Ferrum, Septimus cen Ferrum ✝, Caecillia cen Ferrum, Aurelia pyr Ferrum ✝, Aetius aan Ferrum.

Sector II Imperial Research and Development Division

Badge of the 42nd Imperial R&D Facility

The following has become out of date following the events of 6.0. The following organization and facilities should be regarded as defunct.

The second of five Imperial research divisions, consisting of facilities XXVI to L, is focused on weapon development through the means of aetheric manipulation and genetic research. Overseen by the infamous Marius nan Ferrum, these facilities are pushed to produce astounding results with the goal of turning the tide of the war. There is no cost too great when it comes to progress, and there is no such thing as mercy when it impedes knowledge and power.

The 42nd Imperial Research & Development Facility

Director: Marius nan Ferrum
The headquarters of all 2nd Sector research. Nestled high in the isolated hills deep within the heart of the Empire, few know of its location or existence beyond hearsay and rumors. The facility resembles a castrum more than a traditional research facility, hinting at the terrible nature of what is done within its halls. It houses the most confidential research done by the 2nd Sector, and the most heinous. Very few are invited to its halls, and those that are do not come out the same as when they enter.
For more information on the 42nd and its members, click here.

The 33rd Imperial Research & Development Facility - Argentum Facility

Director: Hadrianus Nan Quercus
A small facility located in the northern stretches of Gyr Abania, the sister facility to the Onychinus Facility. One of several facilities dedicated to unraveling the mysteries of Allagan cloning and mutations. Argentum is the smaller of the two facilities, focused more on the technology and microbiology of such applications.

The 34th Imperial Research & Development Facility - Onychinus Facility

Director: Hadrianus nan Quercus
A larger facility in the northern stretches of Gyr Abania, the sister facility to the Argentum facility. While Argentum delves into theories and genetics, Onychinus is where that research is put to the test, developing old Allagan creatures long thought lost to this star. Several years ago, one such creature was unleashed from its shackles and destroyed the laboratories in the process. More recently, it was rebuilt, and has begun resuming operations once again.

The Vosu-Vahnyha Tribe

An elusive clan of Keepers of the Moon who make their home in the thick of the Eastern Twelveswood. Known as the Forest Sirens, they are identified by their stark white hair, thick-furred tails, and either pale skin (Vosu) or dark ebony skin (Vahnyha). Both males and females of this clan are ‘blessed’ with what they refer to as the Moon Scent, which intoxicates potential mates with a natural aphrodisiac. Most choose to cover this with perfumes or herbs until ready to take a mate of their own, and cover their faces in wooden masks, carved in the shape of an animal for their own protection. In special circumstances, children of this bloodline inherit an affinity for healing magic, and make excellent conjurers.Notable members: Mhridi’a Vosu, Reka’to Vosu, Lhami’to Vahnyha

Current RP Wishlist

The following is a regularly updated listing of where special potential hooks for my characters are, and other things I am looking to RP at any time. I try to keep this as up to date as possible.

OOC Information

About the player:
I am a US based East Coast RPer who has been RPing for longer than I want to say (because that makes me feel old). I love to world build, and be sucked into the worlds that other players create as well. At the moment, my main method of RP is on discord. I work unpredictable hours, and run both an FC and RP tavern, AND got talked into raiding, so discord is definitely the easiest way to get some stories going with me.What I'm looking for:

Para-RP?I tend not to describe myself as a para-RPer. My posts will vary depending on just what I want to say. Sometimes, several paragraphs aren't necessary, especially in the middle of RP conversations. I've found that trying to write too much will end up feeling unnatural, and it will be almost like the characters are having two or three conversations at once. That being said, there are times where several paragraphs are necessary. It all depends on the scene and what I am trying to convey.

Name: Mhridi’a Vosu
Age: 18
Race: Miqo’te, Keeper of the Moon
Marital Status: In relationship/polyamorous
Sexuality: Homosexual
Origin: Twelveswood
Alignment: Neutral GoodA young, dramatic artist and fledgling mage, Mhridi’a is a small spitfire who is more fiery than his delicate looks would suggest. His passion is his art, and is an accomplished painter despite his young age. He has aspirations of becoming famous for his work, though he works for a few pieces of gil for the time. He comes from a clan of Keepers with an affinity for healing magic, and after several months of training with the Conjurers’ Guild of Gridania, he has taken leave to travel to Ishgard and train at the Athenaeum Astrologicum. Though he is on the surface peevish and mercurial, beneath he has a soft heart, and it doesn’t take long for it to come out.RP Hooks:

Name: Syrenen
Alias: Syrenen of the Kha, Syrenen of the Buduga
Age: 31
Race: Au Ra, Xaela
Marital Status: Single
Orientation: Bisexual
Origin: The Azim Steppe
Alignment: Lawful NeutralA proper, knowledgeable physician, Syrenen has come a long way since his tribal origins. Born amongst the Kha tribe, he took a great interest in outside cultures and knowledge at a young age. He would often sit and beg for travelers to tell their stories from their homes, or teach him practices not typical of the Steppes, especially when it came to healing and medicine making. Still in his youth, he happened upon several Buduga warriors who saw it fit to take him for their own tribe to swell their numbers. Though he was made to train for combat, his desire and skill for healing remained his first concern. He did not often see battle, deemed more useful for staying at their camp to tend to injured warriors when they returned.The violent, bloody lifestyle of the Buduga wore on him as the years rolled on. Eventually, he found an opportunity to escape, and he slipped away, fleeing the Steppes to find a more stable lifestyle. He found himself in Kugane, where he trained with physicians and academics in a more traditional manner, learning and practicing not only how to heal, but the ways of propriety outside of tribal living. After some time, he was struck by a desire to experience more, and sailed to Eorzea to make connections with the Conjurers of Gridania.Through the Conjurers, he was introduced to those who led a hidden sanctuary known as the New Dawn, and is currently volunteering as their infirmary’s lead physician.RP Hooks:

Name: Veke Illska
Age: 29
Race: Miqo’te, Keeper of the Moon
Marital Status: Forever Alone
Sexuality: Bisexual
Origin: Twelveswood
Alignment: Chaotic NeutralUnapologetic, brash, crude, and shameless, Veke makes few friends wherever she may wander. A member of the notorious Bush Viper clan, she was raised believing that poaching and robbery was little more than a game, and became quite adept at it. She was being groomed to take over as the matriarch of the clan before she caused an incident that caused her to be cast out from her family. Since then, she’s become something of a wanderer, moving around Eorzea to find the next thrill and pick the next fight.RP Hooks:

Name: Yusui Asai
Age: Appears to be mid-thirties
Race: Au Ra, Xaela
Marital Status: Single
Sexuality: Omnisexual
Origin: The Azim Steppe - Yanxia
Alignment: Lawful EvilDark and elegant, Yusui moves about the world like a shadow. The Xaela speaks with the wisdom of someone beyond his years, and his piercing gaze makes it seem as if he knows what one is thinking without having to say a word. Though originally of the Tumet Tribe of the Azim Steppes, Yusui was later raised in Yanxia in service to a local lord and maintains a princely demeanor. He is a knowledgeable and formidable mage, learned in magic dark and forbidden. He presents himself as a teacher to those who would listen to him, and has been noted to vanquish Voidsent when they appear.RP Hooks:

Name: Avriel Vilden
Age: 27
Race: Miqo'te, Seeker of the Sun
Marital Status: Betrothed to Vibrant Lion
Sexuality: Bisexual
Origin: Radz-at-Han, Thavnair
Alignment: Usually Lawful Evil (Currently Lawful Neutral)A Thavnairian assassin and smuggler, Avriel is cold, efficient, and skilled. After his oath of service was broken with one of the merchant princes of Radz-at-Han, he traveled westward into Eorzea. There, he continued his shadowy trade amongst Ul'dah's elite black market merchants, eventually coming to pledge himself to the crimelord by the name of Vibrant Lion.Recent months have not been kind to Avriel, however. Having endured torture and drug-induced indoctrination by a rival crimelord, the cold, calculating assassin he was has become a hazy memory to him. Now, he is trying to pick up the fragments and make sense of his past and present once more.RP Hooks:

Name: Hawk Abhainn
Age: 46
Race: Hyur, Highlander
Marital Status: Widowed
Sexuality: Pansexual
Origin: Ala Mhigo, Gyr Abania
Alignment: Lawful NeutralWorld-weary but big-hearted, Hawk is unlike most old soldiers. A veteran of the Ala Mhigan Civil War and the subsequent Imperial invasion, he had gone on to lead a small Ala Mhigan resistance cell in the northern Lochs for quite a few years. For one that has lived his life by the sword, he is by no means grim or somber. He is a man who smiles often, jokes more often, and makes it his priority to provide for others.Due to injury and age, Hawk has retired from his resistance-fighting, and traveled Westward in search of a stolen heirloom. While attempting to retrieve it, he happened upon members of the New Dawn, and soon joined their cause to protect those in need. He had taken up the position of lead scout, handling any unavoidable combat situations with the other guards of the sanctuary.He died in Gyr Abania while following his duty. His death resulted in several saved lives.RP Hooks:

Name: Constance cen Ferrum
Age: 34
Race: Garlean, Pureblood
Marital Status: Single
Sexuality: Bisexual - Female Lean
Origin: Garlean Captital
Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Constance cen Ferrum is a beloved and charitable socialite within Imperial Territories and allied countries. Known for her poise, grace, and beauty, she seems cut from a different cloth than the rest of her family. She has provided numerous donations to further female advancement in the Imperial Military, which is still a harsh place for many women. In addition, she funds young women orphaned by Garlemald's many battles into academic pursuits, such as the Magitek Academy and medical academies. Of course, there are claims against her angelic countenance and charitable nature, rumors suggesting her looks had been surgically altered and that her philanthropy is a convenient cover for one of the Empire's most connected intelligence organization. If there is truth to either claim, there is no one willing to confirm it.RP Hooks:

Name: Aurix nan Otus
Age: 29
Race: Garlean, Pureblood
Marital Status: Single
Sexuality: ??
Origin: Garlean Captital
Alignment: Lawful NeutralAurix nan Otus is the second-in-command of Marius nan Ferrum. Unlike his superior, he is a calm, soft-spoken, sympathetic individual. A prodigy of aether studies, he has developed new systems and tools that are on the cutting edge of what magitek can do. Despite his arguments against the 42nd's heinous experiments, he is loyal, and tries to ensure that everything they do has a result and that it is not done in vain.RP Hooks:

Name: Misjah Lhomi
Alias: Xenia
Age: 27
Race: Miqo'te, Keeper of the Moon
Marital Status: Single
Sexuality: Unknown
Origin: Twelveswood
Alignment: Lawful NeutralOnce known as Misjah Lhomi, the name is now something only her family remembers. Xenia, as she is known now, is a precise, emotionless assassin, and enforcer of the will of her Mistress, Nerilla goe Ferrum. Having been injured in her pursuit of one of Nerilla's targets, she washed upon the shore of the Silver Bazaar, communications cut off from her allies. Her grooming into an assassin, while successful, has made her dependent on the orders she receives. Without orders, her goals became misconstrued, and she pursued several needless assassinations before she was stopped and apprehended by the Maelstrom. Now, she sits alone in a cell in Limsa Lominsa, her future uncertain.RP Hooks:

Name: Hikri Fraefolg
Age: 22
Race: Miqo'te, Keeper of the Moon
Marital Status: Single
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Origin: Twelveswood
Alignment: Neutral GoodA runaway from a tumultuous environment in her clan, Hikri is currently a junior officer in the Maelstrom. Rather than follow her fellows out to war, she has been assigned to remain in Limsa Lominsa and train to eventually take a position with Maelstrom intelligence. Though she has a long way to go, she has been receiving small investigations as part of her training that take her to various parts of Eorzea. Bright-eyed and usually optimistic, she still has a great deal to learn about her proposed station.RP Hooks:

Name: Nerilla goe Ferrum
Age: 39
Race: Pureblooded Garlean
Marital Status: Married to Marius nan Ferrum
Sexuality: Bisexual
Origin: Imperial Capital
Alignment: Neutral EvilNerilla goe Ferrum is a fierce, power-hungry, and dangerous woman, determined to place herself at the top of the prestigious House Ferrum no matter what the means. In the Imperial Capital, she works as a public censor and bureaucrat, and is able to maintain some air of professionalism. Behind closed doors, however, she is a violent and unstoppable storm. She employs a small network of agents who often work as spies, seducing and blackmailing anyone foolish enough to stand in her way. When dealing with Nerilla, one thing is certain: You had best be on her side. To not be is almost always fatal.RP Hooks:
