Assorted Adventurer Plates

I've been gradually working on creating portraits and adventurer plates for my characters as it occurs to me to do so.

It's really fun to figure out what to put in the background for the screenshots. I've been gradually refining my methods, and I think I'm starting to get the hang of it, but a lot of times I end up missing one or more details, lol

Further musings and an update of what's up with me lately under the cut:

Apparently a lot of my characters have Zhah'ra as a retainer. Go figure.

My first response when I saw this tweet was "oh god! too many to list!"

...but then I listed them anyway. 😅

One of Zhah'ra's retainers is Iris, his coworker/friend from when he was working at a bathhouse in Ul'dah (also an alt)

Renan's retainers are their component selves (back before they got chimera'd together) and also their old colleagues and comrades from the Nymian armed forces.

Silver Sage's retainers are all (very vaguely) members of his village back home, including his protege.

One of Maati's is her black sheep cousin (also an alt)

Ryoku's retainers are the lord he serves, his little sister Aiko, and a few of his fellow retainer-soldiers.

Danyell has his older sister Danicka and a few other members of the heretic band he was part of for a while in Coerthas.

Raranen's retainers include his mother Fafala and several people who work for his chocobo breeding stable, including his jockey, Marshall.

Iris has Zhah'ra (former coworker and friend) and Dee (reluctant acquaintance) in retainer form.

Mama Dee's retainers include Zhah'ra, who used to be in her dance troupe; Daisy, the dancer who took over the troupe when Dee retired; her husband, T'arik; and Amande and Lumien, her husband's two IC retainers.

Maparhi has her Hearer mentor, her mother Aynur, Zhah'ra (her cousin), and a few acquaintances from the Shroud as her retainers.

Surprisingly, only 10 out of 18 alts with retainers have story-significant ones - fewer than I expected!
