That one is extremely easy for me. My email penpal in the Philippines. He was my long time RP partner though we don’t RP much anymore because life an such. I ran a cross-over style RP years ago on Yahoo Groups. He joined as Mack from Command & Conquer. His writing was always better then mine back then. I always wanted to improve because of him. I wanted to write better and with more detail. Yet he stuck it out with me for so many years despite my weak start in RPing. He has been the best RP partner a girl could have asked for back then. We always shot emails back an forth over our favorite ships an various other things. So my drive to push forward an try to improve was fueled by him. ❤

Was originally intended to be a Scholar and Adventurer. Even met my FC leader back before Heavensward on her with this idea for her as a character. Eventually she got shelved for a time because I couldn’t find a balance between Raiding and RP then I used the idea for Destiney instead just recently. Now she is a Mercenary in training.

Thanks @gogocatninja

Lance is the eldest of three children. He has a younger sister and younger brother. His brother is set to inherit everything instead of him. While he has not been outright disowned he is not thought highly by his father an grandfather because of choosing Haillenarte over Dzamael. The only thing expected of him as a child of the Aurifore is to marry well an keep the bloodline strong. (The whole thing with his cousin is something else entirely.)

Thanks! @ishgardian-rose

She wasn’t originally supposed to be such a tragic backstory character. I tried to offset it with silly stuff like being a light weight happy drunk. An having this whole thing for dark skinned wildwood or duskwights. Yet writing for her has been a joy. Seeing her go from something broken an healing into someone stronger has been absolutely a delight to write for.

She had a really intense hate for Garleans and Imperials at one point. However after interactions with certain people in her FC she has somewhat changed. Does she still hate Garleans? Yes an no. Now she hates only those who were responsible for Carteanu where her father died in battle.

Thanks! @marius-ffxiv

★ for Lance, and ☆ for you!

He was originally intended to be much different then the sweet cinnamon bun he became. He was supposed to be a snobby jerk. But as I was building him he became something else entirely. He became this gentle understanding man with a strong desire to serve House Haillenarte. Though he does have a competitive streak when it comes to sparring.

Myself: I originally bought FFXI for my brother to play. Ended up playing myself for 9yrs. Was a raider an everything. Though FFXI Destiney and Karigan eventually got stories towards the last few years of my gaming life on XI. If I hadn’t played XI I might never have played XIV. XI was my very first MMO.

Thanks! @ishgardianskypirate

The Devil in Reverse for Lance and Dest from @sunshineandlotus))

(Oh gosh. If we mean relationships as in dating Dest hasn’t had any unhealthy ones she refused to break off. If we’re talking friendships then she has one currently. Her friendship with Leera. It’s not exactly a healthy relationship for her. Not when it puts her at odds with her company mates at times. Yet she refuses to break off the friendship, insisting there is something worth saving in Leera. Even if it will mean standing against people she considers friends at times. Like Felix.)

(Lance hasn’t had many romantic relationships either. But his relationship with his family is unhealthy. It has been for years. Yet they are his family. So he tries to tough it out. Doesn’t help he feels his options of where to turn are limited. Not that he wishes to burden others. So far only Tara and Miu has he trusted enough to tell of his family an they way they treat him.)
