(Currently Lance’s biggest fears are something happening to the family and friends he does care for, facing down a dragon head on, and dishonoring Haillenarte in some way. He’s pretty good at hiding his fears though instead of letting them make him a victim.)
(Thanks for asking! @ffxivaltaholic )
(Destiney responds well to touch. A random stranger she would be rather leery on why they are touching her but wouldn’t automatically remove herself unless it is a bad touch. Gentle touches of the hand or arm/shoulder are acceptable. A loved one’s touch comforts her the most. A friend’s touch is also very welcome. Hugs and other comforting touches.)
(Lance is very much restrained about touching. He was actually shocked the first time Tara hugged him. He would move away from a stranger and ask them not to touch him. A friend he avoids touching most of the time but would not ask them not to do it. He’d allow it an just sort of sigh and smile. A loved one… Please hug him! XD He secretly enjoys it.)
(Thanks for asking anon!)
(Destiney and Stefan both had a rather average childhood and loving home life. Their parents were supportive and kind. Destiney had friends and actively went exploring with her best friend. Stefan often played the loner and sat at home with books. Things didn’t fall apart for them at home until about they were about fifteen. Stefan ran away and Dest was sent to Ishgard to other relatives. Dad was killed in the fighting with the Garleans. Dest still goes home to visit her mother at times now though.)
(Lance’s home life was a bit stern and cold especially after he reached an age to be old enough to begin learning to use a sword. His parents expected a lot from him as the eldest son. He was expected to serve House Dzemael and marry well. He pretty much disappointed them on both of those things. Which began the divide between him and his father an grandfather. So his family life has been strained for a long time.)
(Keaira had a very happy home life. She the eldest of four kids to a father who works in the Brass Blades and a mother who is an alchemist. Her parents have always encouraged her to pursue her interests and explore the world. They want her to make a life for herself.)
(Alexois… Oh boy. His is the tragic home life. Father who refused to acknowledge him. Mother who didn’t care about him and sold him to a highborn Ishgardian. Rescued by his mentor who taught him to be the cruel man he is today.)
(Thanks for asking anon!)
(Destiney doesn’t always obtain a lot of injuries with being a healer but she has had three significant life threatening ones. Prior to becoming a healer she nearly died to some Imperials. One had pierced her shoulder with his lance to pin her to a wall. Only for his buddy to stab Dest in the chest with his sword. It would have been a killing blow had her Uncle, Leon, and Moon Dove not been coming to the rescue as it happened. One of her injuries hadn’t been physical, it was a curse. Her FC at that time helped lift the curse before it could kill her. The most recent was her being careless in the South Shroud while helping the Gods’ Quiver. She took a poisoned arrow to the same shoulder she had been struck by that Imperial years before. She made it to Soren in time for him to take care of her since she wasn’t thinking clearly from fear and pain.)
(Lance has taken a lot of small injuries over his years working as an Ishgardian knight. So far his worst has been the shoulder Leera pierced outside of Dragonhead. Tara tended it only for his own father to reopen the wound. The problem was it was his sword arm which restricted what he was able to do if he decided to listen to Tara. Which he did though he really wanted to be fighting fit faster then she wanted to allow. Raiden though fractured some bones when the two of them fought. I think it was his lower forearm of his shield arm and a couple of ribs.)
(Alex… His worse injuries are most recent. He’s suffered a LOT of injuries over the years but Soren pretty much about gutted and sliced him to ribbons in their fight recently. He probably would have died if Aeri hadn’t saved him. He’s still currently recovering. He had numerous scars on his back from an Ishgardian highborn which he has recently had a black stylized dragon tattooed over. The scar on his face over his one eye is from Lancefer back when they had their falling out. Or well when Alex was forced to betray Lance for the job he was working.)

“Yes. A few things… Like the Imperials I killed years ago in revenge for my father’s death. It was also an attempt to get myself killed too. There was also the time I listened in on a private conversation between Oni, Aimee, and Frost before passing on what I learned to Leera for fear they were going to hurt him. Also the fight I recently had with Soren. Some of the words I said… They were very wrong and unacceptable.”
(Thanks for asking! @winterdeepelegy )
(Caring too much. It is her biggest flaw and also her part of what makes her who she is. Problem is it often leads to her getting hurt in someway. Especially when she finds herself caring about people like Leera and Soren. She is basically like the light to their darkness.)
(Stubbornness. He might be good and honorable but he has a strong stubborn streak. Few have actually been able to make him back down when he’s being stupidly stubborn. Especially stubborn if it involves his immediate family. He seems to often defy them in one way or another.)
(Thanks for asking! @eaoisnotawhore )
(Stefan is made of intelligence, loneliness, and determination. He’s my grumpy mage. He just refuses to let anyone close. Always afraid of them leaving him. He’s been struggling on his own for the last ten years of his life. Of course by his own choice since he cut ties to his family on his own. So most of his life is devoted to his studies and exploring ruins. Esper (his ruby carbuncle) is about the only friend he really has.
(Keaira is made of fire, hard work, and iron. She desires to learn to fight and one day become a Sultansworn. She’s bold and adventurous. Right now she’s traveling as part of her real world training since there is only so much one can learn from spars with other members of the gladiator’s guild. She’s not afraid to work hard and get her hands dirty despite her pretty looks.)
(Alex… Oh Alex. He’s made of anger, pain, and darkness. He’s my bad kid through and through. Even though Aeri has helped redirect some of his aggression recently, he is still a jerk. He’s had the worst life out of all my kids and it shows in his behaviors. He has a hatred of highborn Ishgardians and is a wanted criminal in Ishgard even. He’s been trained to be a cold-hearted bastard good at killing. Often wears a cocky grin and attitude that make him hard to love. An that is how he prefers things to be.)
(Thanks for asking anon!)
(Destiney is quite the mixed bag. She often wears her heart on her sleeve and cares far too much. Which often ends up with her getting hurt somewhere along the line. When it comes to family, she often her most courageous. She is made of love, light, and hope. With a small touch of darkness. Darkness you ask? That is what I like to consider the self-doubt and things she still on occasion has darken her mood and make her self-destructive. She’s not without her flaws despite how light-aligned she is. She’s been through a lot of growth and healing though.)
(Lance is made of steel, courage, and honor. He is my precious Haillenarte serving knight. He’s not afraid to fight and bloody his hands if it means protecting those who can’t protect themselves. Despite being born to an upper class family, he doesn’t behave like it except in the masks he wears until he trusts someone. He’s humble and does his best to try and restore the Haillenarte name by doing the best work he can. He’s also very protective of his cousins as he has grown quite fond of them over time. Well very protective of the Haillenarte kids too. He pretty much hero worshiped Lord Chlodebaimt for Steel Vigil.)
(Thanks for asking! @gogocatninja)
“Praise? Well… I accept it but I do not allow it to go to my head of course. I would be a fool to do such. I am still young with much to learn in life. Besides I am not a master or expert at anything. Even those that consider themselves such still have things they could learn. So while praise feels nice for hard work, I know there are probably still things I could improve on.”
(She’s more then happy to accept praise. It definitely raises her spirits to know her work or effort is recognized. Yet she is still humble about it an doesn’t let it swell her head. Thank you for asking! @ishgardianskypirate )
(Not really. For the most part Dest is a healer more then a fighter. At least at this time. It might change over time, especially with Stormblood adding Red Mage. As Destiney in FFXI was a Red Mage. However that remains to be decided if I’ll find a way to make that change for her or leave her as is. She does still have a bow and a few offensive spells as a Scholar. But for the most part she only really fights to protect. So she is not really very destructive.)
(Dest is definitely self-destructive. Usually. So far there has only been once when she turned her anger and pain on someone else. An frankly he pushed for it. He hurt her so she hurt him back. Otherwise she tends to destroy herself.)
“Maybe. It would depend if the cost is worth it. I do not like the idea of such a cost at all. However I know this world is not that easy. If it was to protect those I hold dear… In a heartbeat.”
