possible hooks ––––

She was conscripted as soon as she was old enough, as she was deemed of no use to her mother and treated no better than a servant until her majority

Those who served under the XIIth might know of her

She can often be seen looking over mercenary advertisements and hunting offers

Residents of Ala Gannha might remember the rambunctious child and her doting papa

Veterans of the retaking of Ala Mhigo might recognize her

what I’m looking for ––––

Friends, colleagues, former flings, rivals - you name it, I’m looking for it for Sabra. She’s one of my more taciturn characters, so finding connections OOC for expansion during RP would be great. She’s based out of Balmung but the whole of the Crystal Data Center is open for solicitation. I’m also more than happy to RP on Discord.

oocly, I am ––––

Easy-going

Friendly and helpful

Adaptable to many different stories and situations

An experienced writer and gamer, comfortable with many kinds of roleplay

A giant nerd

Selection: “Why are we fighting?”

Job: Duplicarius (Tank)

Weapons: Two-handed swords

AI Behavior: Athanasius is unstable and unpredictable as a trust partner, with a greater than average range of aggression.  Any enemy that enters this range is immediately targeted and attacked, regardless of whether the party is already in combat.  If any other party member is attacked, he immediately targets the attacking enemy to draw its attention.  He is not the best when it comes to maneuvering enemies away from allies, so party members will need to adjust to avoid any AoE attacks. Athanasius himself tends to stand in AoE attacks due to a lack of awareness, though he will use damage-mitigation abilities for more powerful attacks.

At random points in battle, Athanasius will experience an increase in damage output while also taking more damage during the fight.  Healers will want to be aware of this so they can react accordingly.  Athanasius also has a unique “Panic” debuff that stacks depending on the cumulative amount of damage he has taken in combat.  When a certain number of stacks is reached, Athanasius loses control and goes into Frenzy, unleashing a flurry of attacks dealing a large amount of damage to all enemies within range while reducing his health to 1 HP with a temporary invincibility ability (this ability will not prevent a party wipe in the event of a DPS check).  However, Frenzy also damages allies within range, making combat in enclosed spaces hazardous.  Healing actions will reduce the risk of adding Panic, shielding abilities will mitigate damage contribution to the Panic debuff stat, and if enough time elapses after receiving enough damage to trigger the debuff, his Panic will reset to 0. This makes Athanasius a dangerous ally to party with, though if a player is willing to put in the effort of assistance and exercise patience in allowing Athanasius to recover between battles.

Due to his lack of awareness, Athanasius will almost never use a limit break.  However, if his health is dangerously low when a high-damage attack is incoming, Athanasius will reflexively use limit break if it is available.  If Athanasius is in Frenzy when the attack is triggered, limit break will not be used.

 Battle Lines:

“Fight me, savages!” - Starting Attack Line “You will fall!” - Using Specialty Skills, Variation 1 “We will not lose!” - Using Specialty Skills, Variation 2 “Keep fighting!” - Assisting an ally “Why…?” - Panic, Variation 1 “I can’t…. I…”  - Panic, Variation 2 “They won’t stop…”  - Panic, Variation 3 “Hah… haha…”  - Panic, Variation 4 “AAAAAAAH!” (panicked scream)  - Frenzy, Variation 1 “AHAHAHAHA!” (maniacal laughter)  - Frenzy, Variation 2

Limit Break:

“NO!” - Using limit break

KO’d:

“Finally…” - Variation 1 “…Celia…” - Variation 2

Revived:

“No…” - Variation 1 “Where…?” - Variation 2

Bonus:

If left idle, Athanasius tends to cycle through     idle stances regularly.  Occasionally,     he will do /panic and /aback

Rarely, Athanasius may /chuckle or /laugh.  Athanasius does not need to be idle for     this, and may even do so in combat.

Okay so technically I did this already for P’shali and Arjeant, but I knew I had missed a tag (I was tagged by @thorcatte but on my main account, hence why I didn’t see it when doing these), so I was planning on doing this anyways.  It just took me a while because work is exhausting.

I couldn’t help but try and think about how Nasius’s madness would work in a game.  I don’t know if these mechanics would work in game (let alone if they’d be balanced) but it was fun to think about.

It was late in the evening when the young half-garlean had found himself visiting one of the local inns. While he normally would have found himself back in the private quarters he’d shared with his traveling companion tonight was just one of those nights in which he didn’t have the energy to make it all the way back, even if he had his ‘horsebird’ to help make the trip easier.

He had been exhausted from his mission in dealing with the Dravanians that he hadn’t even heard the heavy armored footsteps of said traveling companions approach until the man had taken a seat next to him and slid over a piping hot mug of Hot Chocolate. The young man for a moment jerked and was drawn out of his fatigue when he saw Arjeant and he snorted out “You’re always just a few steps behind me... if I didn’t know better I’d think you were my shadow...” he let out with a sigh before carefully taking the mug and pulling it over “Hot chocolate... of course you would...”

“Well... hot chocolate helps put a bit of ease to ones fatigue. As does good company.” the Elezen let out with a soft smile “And you looked as though you could use both.”

I’m trying to be better about drawing more regularly, so I warmed up the other day with a sketchy nerd! As I drew, I was like “Wow. His face is really fucked up now.” XD

By anonymous request (*cough @thedarkestdragonknight cough*), here are some screenshots I used in previous asks.
