⁂ CHERRY Contact: circadia, flightstone @ Discord (preferred) or pm About: Cat mom and professional daydreamer (in truth I have a customer service/sales/graphic design job - yes, all three combined). My hobbies include art, playing video games, reading/writing, journaling and collecting rocks. Main fandom is Final Fantasy XIV, but I also like the Tales of series and cute shoujo manga like Yona of the Dawn and Tokyo Mew Mew. Currently playing through Final Fantasy XI with a friend and I need to get back to Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (I'm as far as Costa del Sol). Timezone is EST. Tagging speed can be a bit all over the place, but if you would like to set a certain pace for comfort or continuity reasons, please let me know. I tend to add inner dialogue and meta to tags for flavor.
⁂ PLOT WITH ME Character: Emet-Selch Canon: Final Fantasy XIV Canon Point: Endwalker; after returning to the aetherial sea with Hythlodaeus Age: 12,000+ Dragon Bond:
Name: Ossalur Isk (meaning "travel" and "star") Type: Gold Personal Information: Ossalur could only be described as a classic adventurer through and through. Bouncing from one fiasco to the next. He always left a strong impression in his wake and was a dragon known for having connections. His first and foremost priority was helping people. No task too big, no job too banal, Ossalur would do it all without hesitation if it brought light to those who needed it. In times when he found himself in need of help, he had countless many to call upon for various skills and information who were all too happy to return the favor. That said, he was known to be a bit... odd. Not in a bad way, but more in a kind of chaotic 'cooking with explosives' kind of way.
...so yes, basically an Azem-dragon.
About Your Blorbo: Emet-Selch is an Ancient and one of fourteen representatives of his world's governing body, his duties being those that involve the Underworld (ie. aetherial sea or lifestream) and his ability to see souls. He's a powerful mage and spends much of his free time wrangling his two gremlin friends. At first meeting, he can be quite prickly and grumpy, but one will soon learn that he's a rather sentimental sort who will cave to the whims of others if he feels the issue warrants his attention (and if others ask nicely enough). He's passionate about theatre, magicks, good literature and long naps in the park.
Game Plan(s): To be plain, the whole "merge with a dragon" bit was not at all on Emet-Selch's bingo card, having mostly avoided them since (probably) around the time of the Allagan Empire. He's known that other worlds exist, however, and civilizations recovering from calamity (as well as navigating groups of people learning to come together and survive in an uncertain new place) are nothing at all new to him (see: Northern Ilsabard and the Garleans). Suffice to say he will be keeping notes of anything he learns about this world that may prove pertinent later on.
As for what he will do, that remains to be seen (for now). What the man needs is incentive, a glimpse of promise, and a well-chosen reminder of the sort of good he might yet do before the aetherial tides call him home once again.
Perhaps he'll find that promise in you?
Interested In: Friends, enemies, frenemies, "it's complicated", mage pals and intellectuals, gremlins and hero types...the man likes to stay busy, or at least moderately entertained, so any sort of (mis)adventures he can get pulled into would be excellent. Any artsy sorts should also mesh well with him, as he enjoys poetry and the performing arts.
In particular I very much support the idea of him being a mentor, teacher, or (Zodiark forbid) a role model of some sort whether it be in magicks, swordsmanship, or history. If that's something you're interested in, too, we can make it happen.
I'd also love for him to get to spend time with old friends and colleagues without the fate of the world resting upon his shoulders - and without the added bonus of watching his remaining brethren lose what remains of themselves. A taste of the good old days, as it were. As a treat.
Fashionably late, but...
