Final Fantasy XIV

OC magazine cover challenge: make one

Thought it was fun to participate :3c

I was tagged by @distracted-dragoon to do the magazine challenge.

..and then I might have had a little too much fun with it.

Fanart for StB's anniversary no.3 - "Blade and claw"

We set out on our journey tonight at 8pm (EST), but before we do, I'd like to go over what it is you might expect from this journey tonight. For those who are new, and those who may have forgotten!

First off, our Dawntrail walk will be starting on Zurvan, Materia at the courtyard of Vollok Shoonsa in Tuliyollal.

Upon arrival, please poke Ki'to Vashai for an invite to the cross-world Linkshell if you're not already on it! We will have one for the walks on each data center from here on out so we don't have to bother with PF.

And if you don't already have me friended, please send Ki'to a friend request! This is to guarantee I can grab you for the final picture, as people I don't have friended will not pause in gpose!

We'll be sitting around until showtime, at which point I will give my usual welcome, and then ask that everyone line up behind me for their snacks! Raine will be handling them again this walk, and they will take 2 trades to give out, so please do keep this in mind!

I try to give a bit of wiggle room for people who might be running late, but we will be leaving no later than 8:10 (unless something comes up that requires an extension!)

If you happen to arrive any later, please send a /tell to Ki'to Vashai and I will send you our current coordinates! Just note that we will still be moving, so you'll have to catch up! Unless we're at a rest area, of course.

Speaking of, our rest areas tonight will be at Wachunpelo, Mehwahhetsoan, and the Arcadion. Each rest area will allow everyone a 10 minute break to hydrate, visit the bathroom, or just chat amongst one another!

The walk itself should take around 2.5 hours or so depending on our pace. That said, you're welcome to come and go as you please. We won't be offended, I promise!

If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please send us a DM, or send me a /tell!

extremely indulgent completely nonsensical crossover based on two of my interests.

[ 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐈𝐍𝐅𝐎 ]

Name & Alias: Alaric de Montclair Rook Mercer

Age & Gender: 39 / Male

Fandom / Original Concept: FFXIV

Occupation / Role: Mercenary / Former Knight

Chars Mentioned: Devlin Montclair, Valori Sardothien, Captain Rael

His Pack: Bess (Ewe), Zeus, Vox, Kael, Neri, and Tobin (dogs)

[ 𝐖𝐑𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐏𝐑𝐄𝐅𝐄𝐑𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐄𝐒 ]

Style: Semi-Para / Para / Flexible

Format: Open to Discord RP / Welcome in-game RP / Tumblr / All good

Pairings: M/M or M/F (I only have Rook, no alts)

Themes/Genres: I enjoy a balanced blend of chaos and calm. Jobs gone wrong, the world being the mess that it is, and the complications of Rook's family life are all things I love exploring, but I'm equally fond of quieter slice-of-life moments where the dust settles. Lately most of my RP has leaned heavily toward combat and tavern scenes, so I'd love to branch out while keeping a healthy mix of both.

[ 𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐆𝐆𝐄𝐑𝐒 & 𝐁𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐃𝐀𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐒 ]

Will write: Just about anything if it serves the story, and with a mercenary that's rarely difficult to justify. Rook is open to romance, but it's something I'd rather let develop naturally than rush. He recently came out of a short relationship after the other player left the game, so I'm especially interested in building chemistry and tension over time.

Will NOT write: I'm not interested in writing overly detailed gore purely for shock value, or turning things into an ERP merry-go-round. I enjoy romance, but I also want characters to enjoy their lives outside of it. Themes can include violence, crime, drugs, and other mature subjects, so this is strictly 18+, and while it's only a preference, I generally mesh best with writers who are 30+.

Rules / Mun Info: I don't have many rules. I just ask that IC and OOC stay in their own lanes, and that people are patient. Between health, real life, and volunteering at an animal shelter, my availability can fluctuate. If there's anything else you'd like to know, just ask. I'm always happy to chat. Currently in talks with a few artists about commissions to update / change his carrd with. I don't mod so please forgive my limited options for his ref photos.
