Hello, denizens of tumblr. This is my posting place for things regarding my OCs, which have been applied to FF14's setting, but have their own continuity. For character asks and the like, I'll color code the text (will match their name's color) to make it clear who's talking. Asks are very much welcome, in or out of character.

This is probably leaving a lot of stuff out, but am tired and want to get this out. Send asks if you want, I'd love to answer them. Looking to get some ref images commissioned soon.

As for our wonderful cast, we have:

Wes 'Warrior of Light/Darkness' or 'Echo-born' Ourinie- my son. A somewhat short blue-haired transmasc human/Hyur. The one who's been doing the MSQ, which initially started as him going on an independent journey from his nomadic tribe. Has a lot of issues relating to self-worth, responsibility, and freedom. Wears a weird fetter on his left wrist (just like all the characters on this list do). Has a knack for learning and copying spells/techniques fast, very proficient with just about all jobs. Joined the tribe young, adopted by Sileas and Lenmis, and was raised by the whole tribe. Has incredibly keen senses, a cut above the others.

Ying 'Starshine' Oondan- a runaway noble tiefling/Xaela girl with a very manueverable tail. Joined the rest of the tribe young, besties with Wes, left shortly after he did for a journey of her own. Part demon, specifically a fiend. Wes is, in her words, 'basically like 90% of my impulse control'. Just as Wes learns and copies at a monstrously fast rate, Ying studies and adapts to her opponent's fighting style incredibly quickly. Always loves to fight or spar, and prefers to stay active most of the time.

Lenmis 'Bladebane' Moondew- strongest of the bunch, a tall, jacked as hell Wildwood Elezen (elf) with a penchant to break most weapons she finds with a single swing. Blacksmiths hate her. Married to Sileas, adopted Mother to Wes and Ying. Leader of this nomadic tribe, and dedicates it to protecting the innocent, wherever that may happen. Not that great at showing affection, is rather stone-faced most of the time, but she cares deeply about those she protects.

Sileas 'Grass-song' Murphy- another Midlander (human). Married to Lenmis, adoptive mom to Wes and Ying, and functions as the tribe's head chef, botanist, survivalist, medic, and mount specialist (in this case, chocobos). Speaks with a Scottish accent, Wes wonders if she has ties to the fae. Rather secretive about her past. Red Mage/Bard combo with silly spell names coupled with a specialization in plant magic. Literally causes flowers to bloom in her wake. Generally a sweet lady that loves the tribe as her family.

Luz 'Brightmind' Taki- Sun Seeker Miqo'te (cat man) who abandoned his society to hang out with the weird gay nomad people. He made the right choice. Gay and queasy about existing in Sun Seeker society. One of the top minds in magical theory, and a well-read scholar in general, often talks with an Urianger-esque air. Mentored Wes and Ying on magic, and provided their general education.

Lapis 'Redliner' Corund- a selectively mute Duskwood Elezen (dusk elf), with a background in espionage and assassin work. After killing her bosses and tearing the organization to the ground, grouped up with the nomads to help folks. Wears almost entirely black, with a glitter rainbow hairclip. Hates making noise, but has gradually become ok with being noticed by people while living with Wes.

Ryo 'Rampart' (no surname)- a himbo Roegadyn (half-orc). Earned his epithet by holding his own against a full army for a week straight. The only one who can safely take a full-power punch from Lenmis to the stomach. Invented a game for Wes when he joined the nomads called Ryo-Go. It makes no sense, has no winner, and is absolute dumb-fun incarnate. Used to be a soldier for an oppressive force that lied to its citizens, and began fighting back as soon as he found out. Considers himself in a life debt to the nomads for resolving the conflict, and helping the citizens back up on their feet.

This is Sileas, a fantastic harp duo from Scotland, not actually playing harps in this - singing a traditional Scottish song/s.  My daughter and I sing this together and enjoy it though we haven’t a blind clue what we are singing.  It’s fun.
