Echoing Dex as well, no matter what race you are in game, I’ll still love you as a friend Lio! <3

Has this happened to you?

One thing that always cuts deep is when certain people suddenly start ignoring or avoiding me completely whenever I temporarily fantasia my character to anything other than a male elezen. As soon as I change back, these same people immediately return to being friendly and sociable with me. They may not realize they’re doing it, but I notice. I notice each and every time, and it’s extremely hurtful. I spoke of this issue with another player just the other week, and this kind of thing seems to happen far too often.

I guess I’m tired of getting burned by people who continue to value their race-based MMO fantasies over real friendships. It makes it difficult for me to open up and trust others, and it fills my head with what-ifs I really shouldn’t be stressing over. I can’t help but wonder what my current circle of friends would look like today if I had remained a Lalafell. I think the most upsetting part is deep deep down, I know the answer to that.

Randoms

Ten facts about your muse:

- Koh loves to be with animals and can sometime spend more time with them than with people.

- She doesn’t often talk about her Miqo’te family, having to had been banished from her tribe at a young age to fend for herself in the Dravanian wilderness where she had been born. However, she had been adopted by hunters from Tailfeather and grew to be a hunter.

- There are times Koh can be fearless in front of large beasts, eager to tame them.

- While there are numerous creatures under Koh’s care, she has a few under her wing. Notably a juvenile hoarhound, a common wolf, a gagana, and an exotic blue-green zu. Smaller creatures she takes care of personally are tiger and coeurl kittens, wolf pups, hunting hawks and owls, and fox kits.  

- A blue owlet can be found around Koh often. It had with her since her childhood, though it can be mistaken by most as one of the numerous owls she cares for.  

- Koh is sometimes quite timid around strangers until she gets to know them. However, she is patient with others and also has a curious spirit.

- She will take any opportunity she has free time to travel around the world. Currently her favorite spots to visit is the Far-East.

- When it comes to handling the bow and arrows (primitive combat), Koh excels at it. However, when she has any sort of technology or magical equipment, she is clueless on how to use them.

- In addition to her traditional clan markings, she has another tattoo (one that Koh keeps hidden from the public) that snakes up her right arm to her shoulders - to partially over his chest and side of his neck. It used to be simple in design and much smaller on her forearm originally, but over the years it had grown very intricate; seemingly continuing to expand and not made by any hand. She was not born with these marks, but had somehow gotten them when she was a child and has no memory obtaining them. Though it is suspected that it originated from being in contact with a voidsent in the forest of her homeland.

- Koh is originally a man...Koh’ya is what she was called as male, but due to a tricky fox voidsent (separate from the one mentioned above) in her custody it had changed ‘him’ to a her for now.

Ryanti’s a good friend and I’m extremely relieved he’s alive. Please help support a great person if you can!

Hey all. Ryanti here. You may know me! Maybe. I’m up and around Balmung and have been for many years. I’ll make it concise here, but feel free to click above to read a more detailed story. I got into a bad car accident early this month and lost my car (totaled). Insurance only covered liability, so I am without a vehicle and was not reimbursed by my insurance. FYI, I’m okay. Because of the incredibly LUCKY positioning of the accident, I am still alive, and escaped with only minor injuries. I still have no idea how I didn’t end up either in the hospital or dead, but that’s what happened. We’re struggling in finances right now, so I set up a gofundme. Every penny will go towards lessening our financial burden of obtaining a new vehicle by going towards a down payment for another car. I set a goal for $1000 but honestly I could care less about numbers. Anything will help.

The Ceruleum God Machine League results.

[Posted outside the Garlean Embassy, Kugane] “Dear imperial citizens, literate peregrinus, and savages, Posted below are the results of the Ceruleum God Machine League. Victory in the Showmanship Competition goes to Tironem Innocentius jen Shinra of the Imperial Classiarus and his winning design, the Visioni Zmaragdinae Mini. Victory in the Battle Competition goes to Architectus Aetius jen Hilarius of the IIIrd Legion with his god-machine, a customized autopilot Mammet. The Garlean Embassy of Kugane would like to thank all participants in this competition. The Eorzean and Othardian effort should be commended, though it comes as no surprise that imperial design prevailed in both categories.

That is all. Vivat imperium. 天皇陛下万歳 Julius dus Horatius, Notarius Office of the Garlean Embassy of Kugane.”

Randoms

Ten facts about your muse:

- Koh’ya loves to be with animals and often spends more time with them than he does with people.

- When asked about his family, he grows uncomfortable and is hesitant to talk about them. He was banished from his tribe as a child for almost killing his sisters during a hunt in the Dravanian forelands where he grew up to a golden bandersnatch and an aevis.

- He has a fear of (or becomes very uncomfortable being close to) women, mainly from the above reason. He Koh’ya will interact and become friends with them, though it’s just out of habit that he might flinch away after being in close proximity to them for long periods of time.

- Koh’ya has a tricky fox spirit that is living with him at the Equinox estate. It had turned him into a fox-eared Lalafell for upsetting it when he had been hunting and exploring in the Yanxia region.

- He is shorter than the average Miqo’te male and is often teased as the runt.

- He has several animals in his private chambers, which are part of the company’s menagerie that he takes care of personally. He currently owns a juvenile hoarhound, an azure wolf, a gagana, several Far Eastern fish, and many foxes that followed their spirit friend.

- Koh’ya’s personality is patient and he’s also quite timid, so large groups or unfamiliar people can make him nervous until he gets to know them. He has a curious spirit and loves to adventure new places he’s yet to visit.

- Koh’ya can smell like the animals he’s taking care of, though he *usually* has good hygiene. His sense of smell is quite sensitive, so he can’t stand horrible smelling stuff either.

- Koh’ya is clueless when it comes to anything high-tech or magitek. He is more traditional or tribal when it comes to fighting, so he usually uses bows/arrows, swords, daggers, and spears. He has some knowledge with magic, though it’s that of a novice’s.

- In addition to the traditional Keeper of the Moon tattoos, he has another tattoo (one that Koh’ya keeps hidden from the public) that snakes up his right arm to his shoulder to partially over his chest and side of his neck. It used to be simple in design and much smaller on his forearm, but over the years it had grown very intricate; seemingly continuing to expand and not made by man’s hand. He was not born with these marks, but had gotten them when he was a child that even he doesn’t know how he obtained it.
