solkgeim hyrtfyrwyn (she/her)

custom job called "arcanima master" that blends smn and sch. was a warrior during stormblood and has mch as, like, a subjob. she's always got that thang on her (a gun).

post-endwalker, married to thancred and urianger

thancred and solkgeim had the most grueling slow burn in history. the key to the thangeim slow burn is the distance between them.

urianger watched said slow burn and believed he'd never be a part of it. he was wrong.

grew up on an orange orchard in la noscea. mother was a pirate and never home, giving her massive abandonment issues. doesn’t know who her father is.

ingrid appleby (she/her & he/him)

drg/drk main. cnj as well, but the elementals don’t like him so no whm (until the endwalker tank quests)

just a little guy. who’s been isekai’d twice.

ingrid was originally my custom summoner oc for fire emblem heroes, and i’ve just…wholesale ported him to ffxiv.

this version of ingrid is specifically from the doomed timeline seen in book 3 of fire emblem heroes. she died, was a ghost for a bit, helped her alternate self save the day, and faded away with lif and thrasir.

except she didn’t. her soul, along with lif and thrasir’s drifted through the veils of existence and found safe harbor on etheirys. hydaelyn revived all three of them, though ingrid wouldn’t know why until endwalker. hydaelyn had been waiting for her friend for 14,000 years.

anyways! dealing with being a failed hero and desperately trying to prevent solkgeim from taking on too much and being crushed by the weight of duty.

gentle yarrow (she/her)

blm/whm

comes from a tribe who lived in the sea of clouds, who descended from people who fled the flood of the sixth umbral calamity on griffinback, and found the sea of clouds. as they fled, they brought along whoever they could find- displaced mhachi and amdapori mages included.

yarrow’s tribe holds knowledge of both blm and whm techniques, which yarrow has studied extensively.

when dalamud began to fall, people in her tribe slowly became tempered to it a la nael van darnus. yarrow was the only one immune. and given that there’s no known cure for tempering at this point… yarrow was the one who had to put down the tempered.

every full moon was a nightmare for yarrow. when her tribe at last fled the sea of clouds, she was a pariah for the blood she had spilled, regardless of its necessity. so she left.

i need to research 1.0 a lot more but long story short she recognized nael’s behavior as being tempered and considered it an extension of her duty to put nael down.

post-calamity, she joined the scions, having been part of minfilia’s path of the twelve.

clara mistrun (she/her)

arcanist, something close to alphinaud’s old class. not really a combatant most of the time, but she is a gifted mage.

born clara de dzamael, she was engaged at a young age to the then durendaire heir. her mother constantly was negging her and her father didn’t much care about her.

had a bad relationship with food during her adolescence because of her mother.

she got married at 18. one week after her wedding, her husband died in a dragon attack. once it became clear that she hadn’t become pregnant, house durendaire quietly sent her back home.

she overheard her parents talking about what to do with her, who they could marry her off to know that she was no longer a maiden- and it sickened her. so she fled in the middle of the night, still in her heavy funeral clothes, and took only her and her husband’s wedding rings with her.

clara rode on chocobo all night- she felt only a numb kind of fear, one that began to subside when she finally reached her destination, sharlayan’s dravanian colony.

clara entered the studium and was classmates with fourchenault and ameliance, and quickly became close to both.

she studied arcanima, and fell in love with math. her archon’s thesis was based on arcanima.

she fled with everyone else during the exodus of the colony, and only returned to eorzea when she heard from her colleague y'mhitra about a talented arcanist who had revived the lost art of allagan summoning.

maev wirasch (she/her)

gnb

conscripted as a teenager, maev initially held out hope of escape, but eventually gave up, resigning herself to die a garlean soldier

is a very passive person as a result. she doesn't make decisions for herself.

on the magna glacies, during the final days, maev's echo awoke, and she became the very last person to receive the blessing of light.

not long after, she was saved by solkgeim and ingrid. watching them fight and protect others, maev was inspired, and made the first real choice she had in years.

she chose to become a scion

...only to be told that the scions were disbanding.

still, ingrid has taken her under her wing, and they travel together.

she is to ingrid what ingrid was to solkgeim, if that makes sense. her right hand arm. man.

develops a crush on bakool ja ja after the midpoint of dawntrail

larimar (she/her & they/them)

mch, but largely a noncombatant

alexandrian

food review tiktoker with an impressive following

"how does that work in solution nine when most of the food is like. nutrition squares" shhhh don't worry about it. larimar mostly exists because i thought the concept was funny.

had a recent amicable break up with vamp fatale

incredibly curious about etheirys and it's cuisine, so she left solution nine to explore
