I'm so tired of having to be "strong" and "brave" and "resilient." I don't want to fight anymore, but I have to. I have to I have to I have to I have to.

Roevember Day 4: Ship

Vermilion Rose had traveled the world far and wide, from Hingashi to Tural. To say she was comfortable on a ship would be quite the understatement. As would saying that she had gotten to know the crews of countless ships--a traveling adventurer takes what passage they can get, after all, from a merchant barge to a pirate's galleon.

So Rose understood much of seafaring, of life aboard a ship, even if she herself was not truly a sailor by trade. What she did not understand, was why every ship's crew, from the Blood Executioners to the East Aldenard Trading Company, seemed to think she was a pirate.

Her preference in seafaring garb? Why yes, it is usually the same that you see here. Why do you ask?

Roevember Day 3: Invitation

"Couldn't help but notice ya from across the room--'scuse me if it's a bit forward, but can I have this dance?"

Roevember Day 3: Invitation [Pirate AU]

"... You invited me over for a dance? A dance, of all things, captain?" "Aye, that's right, sea puppy. A captain's dance." "Eeehhhh, I dunno 'bout this, I was never one to get involved with dancing, 'specially not with my height..." "As if that would scare me. Come! Captain's orders." "Fine, fine. For you."

Later that evening...

The captain and her most fierce, loyal guard dog have their dance together, perhaps not the best, but far from the worst, for there is not a soul in the world in that moment... except for the two of them. Inevitably, there were fumbles, tripping, mayhaps even a bit of competition for one or the other to keep the lead. In that moment, it wasn't a captain and her guard dog. Fornax and Ryssrael were kindred souls. They were lovers in the night, not a care in the world while they were unknowingly drunk on love. She got her "second part of the dance" with them, after all.

Roevember #2: Roots

Roots: the place she grew up in | a character inspiration

I wanted to do a double reference for this one: the limsa lominsan imagery, and a reference to DA's Sera and her tarot card. Ryssrael was born in La Noscea and grew up in Limsa Lominsa and it shows: you only need to hear her talk to dissipate any doubts. The second reference is to Sera and her tarot card, who was one of my first character inspirations for Ryss! They are quite different, but I'd like to think Ryss still retains some of that silliness, irreverence, and at times abrasiveness.

Roevember Day 2: Roots

I hailed from the Azim Steppe, born into the Dotharl tribe. A tribe whose beliefs did not align with my own - whatever those may be. My father was a fierce but caring Xaela warrior - as am I - and my mother was a Sea Wolf who travelled the land and seas as a merchant - I'm no merchant, but I'm decent at bargaining with them. I know not how they met, nor how they loved, but they loved me. I recall a long journey with my parents to Thanalan, one to escape the life that the Dotharl expected me to live. Load of fuckin' horseshit, if you ask me. Who expects a CHILD to live up to that? Soul of a past warrior be damned! I enjoyed my sneaky visits to the Qestir significantly more, and some of their habits may have rubbed off on me too. I love the Steppe. I did not like the Dotharl's belief's. I make and live my own life, I am no one else but myself, and I no longer doubt this... I gotta thank a certain wonderful amaro in The First for helping me realize it. I forge my own path. Visits are usually bittersweet, especially when something compels me to check in on the tribe from afar. At the very least, I know Sadu sorely misses our spars after I had met her during my first return here.

RoevemberXIV Day 2 - Roots

Born and raised in Nagxia, Bertha carries her cultural roots everywhere she goes. Bertha often yearns for home during her travels, and will often make Nagxian comfort food to tide herself between visits back home (especially after eating Archon Loaf and electrope fruits)

Roevember Day 1: Name

Vermilion Rose Duimuste-Blackthorne (Rose, Rosie, or Millie to her friends) took quite some time to consider just what her name would be, once she realized that her birth name--among other things--did not quite fit her.

"Vermilion" came easily enough--red was her favorite color as well as her hair color, so she always stood out as a tall blot of bright red in any crowd. As for the second part of her name, that was the sticking point. She thought long and hard, considered quite a few options, and then thought about what kind of woman she wanted to be.

The answer, in hindsight, was obvious: she wanted to be brave, strong, kind, and gallant; every bit the knight from a faerie tale. She knew one woman who fit the description perfectly, someone she had looked up to since she was little: Rosette Duimuste, her late mother.

That roses would eventually become her favorite flower was something of a happy coincidence.

Roevember Day 1 - Name

Fornax Val'ethtue - or Fyrstyrn (Fire Star) Dotharl, if following the naming conventions of Roegadyn and Au Ra. “Fornax” is Latin for “furnace,” and is also a constellation. One might believe that they are a Hellsguard, but they’re a Sea Wolf! Curious. (I definitely did not originally look at Roe names when I first made her. shhh) The embodiment of an immovable object that harnesses and is driven by their strong emotions, their rage, their need to love and survive. One of two of Hydaelyn's fiercest champions, Fornax lives up to their title through and through. Despite intimidating appearances and all, she bears a deeply caring and loving, adventurous heart. One may find them being happily smothered by the stray cats of Limsa...

a little written intro to accompany the name prompt! say hi to my beloved butch au roe, fornax :)

Roevember #1: Name

Ryssrael Waenwyn - [Giant][Doe] [Wind][Daughter]

To the ears of other Roegadyns, "Waenwyn" would sound slightly wrong. It is missing something. After all, "Waen" is too short to be a father's name. Is it a shortened name, a fake name, an orphan's name perhaps? It is not the only name she used to hand out if asked, but it is the one that stuck. She quite likes it - fitting for an adventurer, if you asked her.
