Does your character have a deep and/or dark secret? If so, what is it?

(Not something I think either of my characters would answer willingly. So this answer is going to be OOC instead.)

image

(Destiney has only really told a few people in the Order about the way she reacts being near a Garlean base in Eorzea. It brings back that horrible day outside the Castrum. She can’t even bring herself to aim her bow at enemies that are people. Her hands shake an she finds herself freezing up. Her choices that day still haunt her. She’s gotten better but sometimes still finds herself struggling through it. Like the last mission was rough for her when they went to deal with bandits. She was nearly sick about the whole incident an spent most of her time hiding near Nathaniel.)

(And then there is the fact she hasn’t told anyone about when she’s really feeling low an emotionally broken she still has some self destructive tendencies. She’ll be reckless an get hurt then not bother to heal her own injuries despite being a healer. It is easy to tell when she is feeling that way because she will wear a half-mask styled after her father’s old service mask for the Gods’ Quiver. She wears it when she works in the Shroud but if she is wearing it beyond that… She’s not in a good place emotionally.)

(Lance is not in as bad of a place as Destiney. He is mostly an open book for the most part unless it is a secret in needing of being kept. I think his only deep dark secret is he is not willing to admit just how scared he is for his future. He is setting himself up for a fall from grace with his family. He has so little life experience beyond his time in service to Haillenarte and it leaves him worried. Whether the fall comes from protecting his cousin’s secrets or the woman he is falling in love with. He knows there is no way his family will approve of the woman he has fallen for. So between the two ladies he knows his fall is coming. It leaves him feel so very uncertain about where the future is going for himself.)

11 and 15

(I’m just answer 11 here since someone else also asked for 15. ^^/ So not ignoring it. Just might be best to leave it in a separate answer.)

image

She clenches her hands a moment before forcing them to relax. Her gaze looking out the nearby window as she takes a deep breath. A soft shake of her head.

“I struggled for so long.” A deep sigh as she looks down at her open hands. “With the consequences of the things I did when I left Ishgard after five years. I decided my vengeance for what the Garleans had taken from me was worth it. Only to learn how foolish I truly was. I was not ready for the nightmares that haunted me nor the fact I realized later that the people I killed… Should not have been punished for those that had killed my father. They had families and loved ones. I had done to them what had been done to me. I had continued the circle of hate an destruction.”

She walks over to the window an places her hands upon the windowsill. “I am not sure I will ever truly be over it. But… I have those I love and care about. They support me an keep me strong. With them… I can overcome anything. Maybe even this.”

image

“For days… I would not leave my room.” He sighs an looks uncomfortable as he crosses his arms over his chest. He gazes towards where his sword and shield rest on a nearby table. “I was so lost. I had been a novice when I joined the troops at Steel Vigil. To be one of those… To survive…”

He runs a hand over the red rose sigil upon the silver shield. “The man I admired and wanted to be most like gave his life for us. For us that survived. I was not sure where to turn or what steps to take as I wallowed in my misery. I lost myself for a time. My dreams haunted by the roars of dragons.”

He picks up the sword finally, raising before his face. He turns the blade so the edge is facing him as he stares past it. “Eventually I found myself once more. I pledged myself to a purpose. If I was going to idolize Lord Chlodebaimt… Then I could not, would not continue to mope about my room in Ishgard like some sort of child. I was a man an it was time I acted as such. I would do my best to see the family and country he loved so much safe. Help to restore the glory lost when Steel Vigil fell. I would honor that man in my own way.”

39. What do they like to ridicule? What do they find stupid?

(Sorry for the delay on answering this. It took some time to decide what to write an then life caught up with me for a bit. XD)

image

“Ridicule?!” She looks shocked for a moment before looking away with a frown. “Maybe. I thought I was beyond such behavior. But is someone ever truly beyond something they mock?”

She paces about for a moment, pausing to look thoughtful. “I find plenty of things that I personally think are ‘stupid’ but I find it hard to say if there is any one thing I really ridicule. I’m not the youth I once was. Not that I am old by any means. I’ve just learned from my mistakes. Mostly.”

“The Garlean Empire’s rulers are stupid. Triple Triad rules are stupid.” She says that second thing with a laugh. “Do I really need to keep going? I find this whole question to be quite bothersome. Everyone has something they think is stupid. Who doesn’t?”

image

“High class Ishgardians. I know I am guilty of ridiculing them. They think they are above so many because of their wealth and status. They should not think that way. All it takes is one mistake to bring it all tumbling down. I might be among the upper class but I learned through Haillenarte that no one is above the fall when it comes. Arrogance and pride will bring down even the mighty in time.” He crosses his arms over his chest as he leans against the brick wall behind him.

“As far as something stupid… There are many things in this world that can be classified in that manner. The term is too broad. Covers too many possibilities to answer fully. The biggest thing I can think of… Is my family. They are too foolish an stuck in their ways to see all that life has to offer. To see the things they scorn are so much more beautiful then they believe.”

16. What does your character do for a living? How do they see their profession? What do they like about it? Dislike?

image

“I was a freelance healer for a time. Still sort of am. Though not nearly as often anymore. Not since I joined The Order of the Sword and Rose. Now I’m a healer for my free company mainly. I mostly do freelance work when I need the extra funds. Sometimes taking up work for people in Gridania with my bow. But that depends on the work.” She says with a casual shrug as she sits in a chair with her legs crossed.

“As far as how I see my profession? It’s helping others. It’s… I don’t want to watch people suffer nor do I want to be the cause of that suffering anymore. I’ve done enough damage without thought. I know it doesn’t remove the blood on my hands but it doesn’t add more to it either.” She sighs an looks off to the side, her expression a bit melancholy. “It’s exhausting work. Tries my patience. But… I enjoy it. Knowing I’ve at least done some good in the world or helped those I care about.”

image

“I am a knight for House Haillenarte. My current post is in Skyfire Locks.” He says with a simple shrug of his shoulders as he states his job. He pulls out his sword an begins to polish the blade. “Someone has to. Haillenarte won’t regain it’s reputation by people sitting around slacking. The least I can do is give it my best effort. I may only be one man but even one man can leave his mark. Make a difference no matter how small.”

“I find honor and purpose in what I do. I owe it to Lord Choldebaimt.” A silent prayer to Halone for a moment as he pauses in polishing his weapon of choice. “I hate the cold of Coerthas but it is a minor sacrifice. However I enjoy knowing I am protecting Ishgard and the people who live there. It has been all I’ve known for most of my adult life. I would not change it for the world.”

“I don’t feel safe letting you be alone when you’re in that shape.” -Miu

(I am going to assume you meant for this for Lance. 😛 If not let me know an I’ll write an response up for Destiney. @michisilver)

Lance had been out on patrol with a couple of his fellow men in the bitter colds of Coerthas. It had not been a good day. They returned in worse shape then they had before they left. One had not made it out alive.

There had been rumors of a group of Ixal to the east of the Observatorium. He had been assigned to a team with three others on duty. They had done everything right that Lance could think of. But one mistake was all it had taken. The lad was still a novice. It should have been his duty to watch over him.

Lance had felt numb as he had asked Miu to meet with him. He had tried to act as normal as possible. Tried not to worry her. He just wanted her presence and warmth. Just needed to be around her for a bit of time. Something to calm an soothe the torrent of dark emotions in his heart.

Her words of concern stopped him cold. His face darkened with the memory of that lad who had been far too young to have his life cut so short. His fault for not watching out for the young man better. He slumped into a chair in her office an put his face in his hands. There were no tears though. A heavy sigh as he rubbed his hands across his face. He looks up with a solemn expression before reaching for her hand to hold. The reassurance of her existence.

“I’ll be fine, my lady. I’m sorry if I have worried you. It has not been a good day is all. We lost one of our own today.” He softly answered her concerned look. A moment of indecision in his eyes before closing them an taking a deep breath. “If you are worried… About me being alone right now… Don’t be. I have you. I’m never alone.”

(Concern Starters)

  • “I don’t care if you don’t want my help, I’ll do it anyways.”
  • “You really need to stop drinking. I’m serious.”

Wouldn’t mind giving this a shot for Destiney or Lancefer.

Yay pictures. ❤ I actually remembered to take a few. I’m finding myself really liking this hairstyle for Destiney. Especially when on MCH. It just makes her look a bit more kickass. Maybe it’s just me. 😀 Not that she’ll be a MCH IC. Not unless I decide someone is going to teach her how to use a gun instead of a bow. 😛

An yay pictures of my Lancefer an his lady friend, Miu. ( @michisilver) An one with Cio. ^^ Lance is making friends. ❤ Aww my little Lance is growing up.
