#zaiusrhalseer

Done by the amazing DrGriswald depicting Zaius in his natural environment. One of them, at least. Working hard during the Ghimlyt Dark campaign. Can’t say enough about how amazing this came out, there’s so much little detail.

I commissioned the incredible ArtofLariz to draw me and @zaiusrhalseer​‘s FFXIV characters, Y’shenn Tia and Zaius Rhal’seer, respectively! I’ve been wanting more fight-y pictures of my character with others and Lariz absolutely blew me away with the level of attention and detail he put into this! The colors are so vibrant and bring out each character’s features, not to mention the amazing job he did depicting both of their physiques! My jaw just drops every time I look at this. Posted here with permission. Thank you so much Lariz! You’re the best!!!

Zaius is such a cool character! I love the way that @zaiusrhalseer​ portrays him and the mun is super cool too. I really admire your writing!

Bonus edit that I made for fun below. Who would you put your money on? Haha.

If I Think They Are: Ugly || Plain || Alright || Cute || Freaking Adorable || Pretty || Beautiful || Handsome || Stunning

“Zaius…”  Tiergan breathed out the name with sharp furrow of his brow that made it difficult to tell if he felt annoyance, desire, or an unfortunate amalgamation of both.  “He is tall, powerful, built like a behemoth. He looks like a piece of the night sky torn down and given the form of a man, too striking to be ignored.  What else is there to say?”

If I Would Go On A Date With Them: Not even if we were the last two one earth || No || Maybe || Eh….Sure || Yes || WILL YOU MARRY ME

“A date or a spar?  I feel like wherever we’d go, violence would most likely follow. …Unless he’s cooking.  He’s actually quite good at it.  That and anything else he decides to pour all of his focus into.”

If I Trust Them: Not At All || Not Really || Kind of, Sort of, It’s Complicated || Yes || With My Life

A deep grimace worked its way across harsh features, muscle all along his broad frame coiling tight with tension. “It depends entirely upon the situation.

I trust that he will always be there. I trust that he will persist and survive through almost anything. I trust that no matter how much the world changes, shifts, or unravels itself around me, Zaius will be a constant. I trust that if he gives me his word on something, it will be kept.  I trust that if he tells me he will do something, it will be done.  I trust that he will tell me the truth without deception.

But I do not trust that he is safe, because he is not.  Not around my companions. Not around strangers.  Not even around me.  Not unless he’s given his word.”

If I Care About Them: Not At All || Not Really || Kind of || Yes || Deeply

“Zaius is one of the few people who knows me from my past and has seen sides of me few others have. Through out everything, all of change, loss, betrayal, and destruction - he has been there: the one constant.

I know it’s not wise, healthy or smart, but despite all of his bloodlust, madness, and cruelty, there have been times he was the only one who helped keep me sane.  

…I care and I know it will ruin me one day.”

If I Would Sleep With Them: Not Enough Alcohol in the World || No || Maybe if I were wasted || Maybe || Eh…Sure || Yes, bastard || TAKE YOUR CLOTHES OFF NOW!

Tiergan only scowls. Deeply.

My Comfort Level With Your Muse: Keep a Distance || Okay You Can Stand There, But Don’t Touch Me || Let’s Get Coffee and Talk || Let’s Viciously Brawl || I Can Change In Front of You || Let’s Take a Bath Together

“He’s about as safe as a demon, but with what we’ve both been through - there’s few things I feel uncomfortable doing around him.  

Unless it’s introducing him to a particularly powerful friend.”

If I See You As: A Stranger || An Acquaintance || A Friend || A Close Friend || Close Confidant || A Lover || A Rival || The Love of My Life

“A Lover. Rival. Friend. Enemy… Zaius is all of them all at once.”

It’s been a while since I told you That I hate you You’ve turned the truth inside out Don’t turn you back when I face you Or I’ll make you You turned my world upside down

You get inside my head I want you out ‘Cause I’ve been betrayed on holy ground

Burying the truth with lies Fed up how you justify And I hate it And I hate it You're so despicable When you're acting reasonable And I hate it And I hate it Your words like firing guns, bullets raining The way you hurt me 'cause you never want to face it Your words like firing guns, bullets raining Bullets raining You never want to face it

What does it take now to break you To awake you To make you bow and spit it out Does it matter if I hate you Or embrace you Nothing makes you turn around

You got inside my head I want you out 'Cause I've been betrayed on holy ground

Zaius Rhal’seer and Tiergan Vashir have joined your party!

Beginning Dungeon: “Let’s see what you’ve got today, ah’ra.”

Assisting: “Already? That’s disappointing.”

Being Assisted: “…tch. I actually did have that one.”

Idle/Waiting 1: “I hope that standing around isn’t your plan.”

Idle/Waiting 2: “We’re not done here, ah’ra. Let’s keep moving.”

Witnessing Tiergan KO: “What?!”

Reviving Tiergan: “No, not yet! Not until I get my turn…”

Being Revived: “Not going to let me live this down, are you?”

Finishing Dungeon: “We need to do this more often, ah’ra. It’s always exciting to watch you work.”

Zaius would always party with Tiergan when offered the opportunity. The two have known each other for years, and the Keeper wastes no chance to compete with, or against the fellow former gladiator. If there’s one thing he enjoys more than fighting with Tiergan, it’s against him. Despite the clear, if strange animosity and rivalry between each of them, their knowledge of one another’s fighting styles and mindset means they work together extremely well in combat. Assuming of course that rivalry doesn’t take hold in the middle of the dungeon. That would be a problem.

Zaius Rhal’seer and Aulen Mistbreaker have joined your party!

Beginning Dungeon: “Another invitation?”

Assisting: “You just want to watch, that’s all.”

Being Assisted: “..tch. Suppose I shouldn’t waste all this fire.”

Idle/Waiting 1: “Surely you haven’t had enough yet?.”

Idle/Waiting 2:“If we stop now, so does the fun.”

Witnessing Aulen KO: “I suppose with the lance, I should have expected this…”

Reviving Aulen: “Should have brought a healer.”

Being Revived:“Ngh…that one is stronger than he looks. Good.”

Finishing Dungeon: “I have to wonder how much longer you’ll be satisfied with just watching, Aulen. Until next time.”

Zaius met Aulen Mistbreaker in the past, and was reintroduced to him a few months ago. Within a few weeks of that, Aulen had asked Zaius to aid him with a leve involving some bandits. Expecting a formidable force, having heard of Aulen’s skill, he was surprised to find the two of them tearing the bandits apart with little difficulty, to the point Zaius let one flee when it was clear he was no match for either he or Aulen.Realizing the other had actually asked him there to watch him fight, Zaius was amused, and intrigued. After some more discussion, he offered his services should Aulen ever need ‘help’ again, and would be pleased that the other had found them some tougher foes, joining his party without hesitation.

Zaius Rhal’seer and Reks Blanc have joined your party!

Beginning Dungeon: “Hah, what, am I the last Agent left?”

Assisting: “Kita would never forgive me.”

Being Assisted: “This is hardly fair. For them.”

Idle/Waiting 1: “It’s not our job to sort out the dead and dying, Reks.”

Idle/Waiting 2: “We’re standing and they’re not. That’s all there is.”

Witnessing Reks KO: “…tch, of course they go after the healer.”

Reviving Reks: “This is not my strong suit, Reks.”

Being Revived: “This is…humbling.”

Finishing Dungeon: “You’re not as soft as I’d thought. Interesting. Let me know if you need someone to carve a bloody swath in front of you again, Reks.”

Zaius and Reks have rarely encountered one another either in the field or at the Agents’ base of operations…as Zaius rarely is either of those places. For his part, the Keeper knows Reks only be reputation, which he would admit to be impressive. The chirurgeon is the primary healer, as far as Zaius knows, for the entire company, but his ability to avoid damage in full out combat, and deal it, would be something Zaius would need to discover.
