(Destiney probably wouldn’t even if the idea was tempting. She is trying not to get to the point again where vengeance leads her down dark paths. If she were to be tempted into doing such, it would probably be something that didn’t threaten the person physically. Maybe something more mental.)

(He wouldn’t magically curse anyone. Ever. He would rather let physical fighting solve his problems an would probably challenge his enemy to a fight. Of course assuming he knew he stood a chance of winning. He might seek out someone to help him get stronger before making that challenge though.)

(Kari would be the most likely of the three to resort to a magical curse. Yet she has no skills with aether/magic. Untrained/No Interest. But she would be the one to find someone else to do it for her. She has made enemies thought none that serious. Just people who she has a grudge against for various reasons. Usually other mercenaries she doesn’t see eye to eye with. She would likely resort to some curse that would make all their jobs failures. So she could smirk an watch from the shadows as they had zero luck on completing anything.)

Vernalagnia: Does their mood or outlook on life change with the seasons? If so, how?

On By destiney1984Leave a comment

(No not really. Her mood and outlook on life have a lot of varying factors but none of them related to the seasons. Sorry.)

Karigan paused an looked around in wonder at all the snow. However that moment of wonder was short lived. It was so bloody cold! Her eyes narrowed in obvious annoyance as she wrapped her arms around herself in an attempt to get warm. One thing was for certain, she was no fan of winter weather. Once this job in Coerthas was done she wanted nothing more to do with this sort of weather. She much preferred the warm sea air and breezes.

“Bloody cold. How do the people here stand it?” She grumbles softly an trudges through the crunchy snow towards her destination.

(Karigan is probably the one who the seasons would effect the most. She grew up the daughter of a merchant/sailor. The weather on the seas changes with the seasons. As would her moods. She hates the cold/winter. Enjoys the summer the most. Finds Spring and Fall to be okay but not really her thing.)

Zugzwang: What’s the trickiest problem they face in their life right now?

On By destiney1984Leave a comment

Her hands lowered from the spell she had been working to cast, spell unfinished. Her eyes widened a fraction. Fingers beginning to tremble first before they tremors moved to other parts of her body. Mouth feeling as dry as the desert. Memories of blood and pain flashed through her mind, forcing her to squeeze her eyes shut yet it didn’t make it stop. Making her forget the job she was supposed to be here to do.

“Hey, Delvanguard! Where are those shields?”

Her breath caught in her throat as she forced herself to try an swallow the rising panic. Shaking hands raised again. Faint sparkles of aether drifting in the air as she pulled on the magic for the spell. Temporary arcane shields covering her front line allies as they fought against the band of Imperials traveling through the area. Forcing her turbulent emotions into a state of numbness for as long as possible.

Once the fighting was done. Once they were back into the safety of the city. Destiney slipped on the white half-mask she always carried with her. She told the leader where to send her share of the reward in a short clipped tone before parting ways. A empty side street with no one around. Her body sliding down the wall to sit against the ground. Her head in her hands as she breathes heavily to try an fight for a feeling of calm. To use the silence of being alone to fight against her own inner demons.

(For Dest the problem always seems to be changing. The biggest is trying to find a way past the fear an panic at fighting other people, especially if those people are Garlean related. Standing against people reminds her of the thing she did after leaving Ishgard. She can function to a degree but not well. It usually takes someone calling out to her to snap her focus back to the moment at hand. An then she just sort of forces herself to function until she can escape at the nearest possible moment. However she isn’t set into getting past it either right now. There’s no real motivating reason giving her a drive to fight it. I figure one way or another she will find the will to fight to get over it eventually. Not for the purposes of killing again but at least being able to stand an fight for those she cares about.)

Vernalagnia: Does their mood or outlook on life change with the seasons? If so, how? – Lance

Lance paused at the edge of the Shroud. It was like the changing of seasons. Something he hadn’t seen in so many years. Not since the calamity had changed Coerthas into an endless winter. He let out a breath he didn’t even know he had been holding. Closing those sky blue eyes as he let the warmer air brush across his face. His heart felt lighter. How he had missed seeing more then the pure white snow. Or snow dyed red with blood.

(In a way yes. He’s been stuck in the snow of Ishgard and Coerthas for so long its like a long needed thaw. His outlook has become a bit brighter since going from a ceaseless winter to other seasons beyond. But it’s been so long since he’s actually experienced seasons that I wouldn’t really say it changes with the seasons so much as it does with the weather.)

Ostentiferous: What’s the unluckiest thing that’s ever happened to them? – Karigan

On By destiney1984Leave a comment

Karigan was walking through the streets of Limsa. She didn’t want to be here. Not in the slightest. Every moment here was another chance to run into her father. Especially if she happened anywhere close to the docks. However this was the nearest place with a market an she needed supplies. As well as to turn in an item for the reward it would garner her. Her hand reached down to where her pouch should have been. Only it wasn’t there.

“No… No. No!” Karigan groaned an looked around in panic. Her money pouch was gone… There was no one around who looked like they had just pilfered it off her belt. A curse worthy of a sailor uttered under her breath as she began to retrace her steps in hopes of finding it. Though she wouldn’t. Thankfully she still had the item in her pocket that she would need to turn in. Just meant a night sleeping under the stars to conserve what little money it would net. An trying to find more work quickly. What an unlucky day…

Tarantism: Describe their dancing style. – Destiney

On By destiney1984Leave a comment

(Destiney knows a bit of various styles of dance from both traveling and from Leon. He didn’t actually teach her to dance but she did watch his activities at one point which sometimes included the girls dancing for him. For her the way she dances depends on why she is dancing. An definitely if there is anyone watching or not.)

Destiney looked around the house before walking over to change the music that softly flowed from the Orchestrion. Time for a break from work. With a smile she twirled away from it as a different tune began to play. She closed her eyes an hummed along softly as she flowed with the music in her own style. A mix of different things. Yet still graceful an sweeping. Dancing with an imaginary partner at one point even. Another twirl followed by happy laughter. Not like any known dances yet containing fragments from various styles.

(Thanks @ethereal-anomaly)

Ktenology: Have they ever planned a murder, whether serious or not? If so, describe what they planned to do.

On By destiney1984Leave a comment

(Destiney has never actually planned a murder. Not completely anyways. Not unless you count those Imperial Soldiers she murdered. Yet it was supposed to be a sort of Murder/Suicide. However there is only so much planning she could do with what she did. She had not had the information to plan more then the where an when pretty much. She tried to research the Garleans while in Ishgard but there was precious little because of how closed off Ishgard has been up to that point. Beyond that she is not exactly a violent person. At this point in her life she wouldn’t even plot a murder as a joke.)

For Destiney: Yonderly: What kinds of things do they think about when they zone out?

On By destiney1984Leave a comment

(Destiney in general usually has a LOT on her mind. So when she does zone out it usually consists of her thinking about whatever is bothering her lately. If nothing is bothering her at the current time then she tends to think about books or something she wants to know more about. Or about what she needs to do still. For Destiney keeping busy whether it’s just in her mind or physically is something she has made a habit of. Leon once taught her to use distractions to keep her mind off the things that haunted her. An sometimes… *hides the pictures* She will think about a handsome/pretty elezen she has seen lately that caught her eyes. So in a sense it is really hard to narrow it down to anything specific for her.)
