[How would your character react if someone] asked them to perform in front of an audience, like right now, without prep?

With enormous gusto and enthusiasm...

Mimble is a natural-born performer and quite enjoys showing off for an audience. Whether it's his dance moves, his magical abilities, or his ability to tell bad jokes and tall stories, he can command a crowd with ease.

Rumour has it that, before they first left the Azim Steppe, the young Larxikas buried something in secret, with a plan to retrieve it at a later date.

Some say that, as a child, they discovered a mysterious Allagan artifact within the House of the Crooked Coin. An artifact which, when manipulated correctly, might lead one to mastery over an army of metal constructs beneath The Burn.

A smaller group believe Larxikas came into possession of a piece of armour once belonging to the legendary hero of the Steppe - Bardam himself. One claimed it was an enchanted bracer of garula leather, but most were sure that it was a scrap of fabric, tattered and worn, yet still imbued with a wild aetheric energy.

At least one person is certain that the young Larxikas stole a sacred treasure from the Matanga, supposedly a scrimshawed tusk inlaid with gold and jade. Fearing the consequences of such an audacious theft they buried it near their childhood home before fleeing to the West...

All are agreed that, whatever this secret may have been, Larxikas retrieved it during the liberation of Doma for purposes unknown, but almost certainly both dubious and unwise.

Of course, such foolish rumours are likely the result of overactive imaginations and excessive drinking...

@xivgenesis is anytime up until the 30th (although I probably ought to not leave it until the last minute).

If I have missed your June Nameday request then let me know - and please don't be nervous about reblogging about it nearer the time to remind me - given the severity of my ADHD, anything more than 2-3 days in the future might as well be after the heat death of the universe as far as my brain is concerned.

Right it be saying 'ere that Gee-Oh-Mancy is power from the ground and you can be doing divvy...divvy-nations with it and also sometimes healin' people. Dunno how that works, I've been digging stuff out the ground for yonks and I can't remember any of it being very chatty about the future and that.

Well I s'pose you could give it a go if you wanted. Do Moogles be having much need for Gee-Oh-Mancy? What with you bein' all floaty in the air most of the time? Well yes I suppose you could be making trees grow faster, but I don't be seein.... Hang on....is this about ruddy Kupo Nuts again?

3. What was the first thing you decided on, the character's name, appearance, personality or their role in the story?

For Mimble it would be appearance, then name, then role and then his personality sort of evolved afterwards.

I had to remake him a few times, as the friends I was playing with at the time kept moving to different Data Centres, so his apperance was set quite early. Although the distinctive outfit came much later in the story.

As he was (and is) the WoL, his role in the story was largely dictated by the MSQ, but he certainly brought his own unique spin to proceedings.

Humble had his name first, as I researched Hellsguard naming conventions first, then his appearance, role and then personality developed over time.

Again his role as WoL was dictated by the main narrative of the game, but he definitely experienced things quite differently than Mimble in a lot of ways.

Humble does not believe he is attractive in the slightest and, even if he did, he wouldn't really know how to employ it to his advantage anyway.

Highlight a FFXIV blog that explores difficult or complex emotions really well.

Unsurprisingly, given the name @orime-stories contains some fantastic writing - you can find their work on Ao3 as well as their two tumblrs (@orime-stories and @orime-eorzea).

Reading their work has certainly inspired me to "go there" with more difficult or less palatable themes and emotions (although I am not half as good at it). They are particularly good at taking an event or scenario and showing how differently each character responds to the same situation - and those responses are often complex, reflecting conflicting urges or emotions.
