#About U'zahra

[futuresuntocrystal]

    I keep saying, “I’ll go to bed,” and then needing to remind myself... Bedtime after ship-list. Since it’s a long list, but simplified, and that works out, I’d think.

    Anyways-! Not all of my characters have a long ship list. Rhela overtakes bc Main + WoL... I’m a firm believer in multi-ship + polyam (cause I am one), so that explains the rest. LMAO

    That said, have lists!

[futuresuntocrystal]

First of all, thank you sm for posting this!! I love the question and... I'm dumping all my OCs on here, as well as my main WoL, so...

To anyone who reads this, I hope you enjoy??

>Rhela [ WoL ]

Conjury was an easy enough start. During the days before and up to the Calamity, Rhela actually started their days as an assistant to chirurgeons! After a...mysterious five-year break, they returned to Gridania to work on their budding magical abilities.

This would be the way of things for a long time; dabbling a little in other classes, but hardly being very devoted to them. Rhela's preference was to support with healing, and being a White Mage was incredibly suited to their talents and abilities...or so they preferred to believe. (It was comfortable. Why change?)

...Funny enough, meeting Zenos is what changed that rigid way of thinking. Eventually moving deeper into Dark Knight. Learning the ways of the Rogues. Utilizing the skills of Archery, the physical might of Dragoons (recently inducted, even!) and even- as of very recently- trying their hand at being a Machinist.

That being said, however... The only classes that combat their comfort in the backseat of healing is gathering. Botany and mining quickly became a loved "activity," of sorts, for Rhela. The only one they struggle with is fishing... Though working alongside the Ixal have gently encouraged that along.

As for crafting, she also delves more into that by the day! Honing skills all around... Mostly to see what feels best, but also genuinely proud of what typically ends up leaving her hands, whether fresh from the cooking pan or carefully fitted as a leatherworker.

>Ajisai

Her magical abilities seemed to have come with the whitening of her hair. Originally, it frightened her...but after escaping from the pressure of her parents, instead seeking to regain some control over her life... It became an instrument for the better, under the tutelage of the Arcanists' Guild.

She's most comfortable as a Summoner, but has also- occasionally- taken up Scholar and Astrologian. They all channel her innate, and growing, magical abilities well. And it's always nice to walk around somewhere with a friend. (In terms of SMN & SCH, at least!)

As of recently, she's been trying Samurai- a class from her homeland- and Dancer, as well. The former as a continued effort to reclaim something she feels has been lost for a long time... Dancer has been more a way to destress, by comparison. However, the combat side quickly appealed to her, as well; now, it's decently common to see her wielding it or Summoner!

Crafting... She's primarily a Weaver; pushed onto her from family. It was seen as a "ladylike" thing to do and encouraged to the point of annoyance. Ajisai still picks up the needle now and then- it's good for taking her mind off of things- but she isn't thrilled with it. (Being a culinarian is much the same; seen as something a good bride should learn, and so she was forced into it. It's good food! She's proud! But it's also been an annoyance.)

These days, she's getting more into botany and mining, as well. Mostly in an attempt to be further self-sufficient.

>I'karus

"Unclassed" beforehand, I'karus would later pick gladiator as his path in life... At the time, it just seemed like it would've been a better move than living life how he had before. (In retrospect, a part of him wonders what on Hydaelyn he was thinking, back then!)

Now he's a Paladin, however, and proudly carries the mantle. To be a protector is a vast opposite compared to how he used to be; it brings him great pride.

(...Though a part of him picked up on being a rogue on the side. Not fully to serve the needs of Limsa...but unable to let go of the idea that his past may one day come to haunt him. Best to have an edge on that, in I'karus' opinion!)

>Kinara

Dancer! It best supported her way of life, and still does. As well... Some conjury on the side. Not super into dedicating her life to that kind of thing, but it helps look after friends in need.

(Crafts only slightly on the side; just enough to look after her own clothes!)

>Alexios

Bard! It fits his desire of being seen and putting on performances. At that point, the music is just a bonus... A lovely one that she puts her heart and soul into each night, when she practices.

They also are a rogue on the side, however... Not that anyone would know, or expect this of them. A jovial nature that easily hides the expert handling of their trademark blades...and you best believe what he can do with daggers just hints at what he can do with a bow and arrow.

>Valmir

Archer. Does a bit of barding on the side- mostly for self-amusement, as he's chronically awkward- but largely prefers the distance benefits that come with attacking from afar.

Is a botanist on the side, and tends to indulge when not doing other work for Gridania (or any other Twelveswood settlement). Gathering is their comfort zone, though is slowly taking up crafting to start being self-sufficient again.

>U'zahra

Back among the tribe, U'zahra used to be a pugilist and archer. An incident with the Amalj'aa (specifically those of Zahar'ak) destroyed said bow...but didn't stop her from trying to come back stronger.

Trained up to a Monk, and learned the secrets of Black Mages, as well. (Forbidden arts who?) Found comfort in Dancer, as well; the movements adjusted to her dances of the U Tribe, giving extra spice to the way she moves...and making this class and Monk her favorites. Conjury and being a Black Mage... The power is good; summoning energy, less so.

Also a fair crafting fiend, though perhaps best at cooking, weaving, and metalwork, like goldsmithing. Gathering is her second home, given how the U Tribe lives. (Perhaps second only to her hunting abilities!)

>Sinmara

A Dragoon, like her father and parent before her! (Though, one of many...) Being biologically a dragon to a Miqo/Elezen pair is an odd existence, but so is picking up the class that once slaughtered her kind...and was originally made during a time of friendship, between dragons and Ishgardians.

Sinmara considers it- much like the changed ways between her parents- as a "right the wrongs" kind of situation; preferring to think of it in a hopeful and good light.

...They're not sure what to do about crafting or gathering; for now, leaving it in the hands of their renny. Perhaps...one day, though? They may try botany and fishing.

(To explain the lore chaos: fanchild between my WoL, Rhela, and Estinien. Nidhogg is technically True Father to Sinmara, as his spirit influenced her development. Biologically, she is primarily a dragon, with Miqo'te [Keeper] and [Ishgardian] Elezen influences.)

>Circe

All-Rounder is the simplest way to put Circe's situation!! One would typically see them as a [White Mage], but has also run through [Dark Knight], [Dancer], and [Dragoon].

...Has asked for [Black Mage] training from Hades. Has been regretting it. He regrets agreeing, mostly for watching them sulk over the simplest thing(s). (Hythlodaeus just enjoys the show.)

Does botany on the side! Menace of a crafter, though...can't do anything with them, aside from displays or selling them as art pieces. (Can't be too individualistic in Etheirys, after all!)

>Moriri

A Dragoon, and that's the end of it. Almost considered doing gladiator or pugilist things in her youth, but being introduced properly to what a Dragoon could do... She was quick to learn the lance, and quicker accepted to their ranks during the Dragonsong War.

She's basically retired now, but will drag her spear back out if need be.

Otherwise, crafting and gathering is her day job, and how time gets filled. You'll likely find her gathering somewhere, out and about, crafting within Ishgard...or relaxing in Ishgard. (At least, post-Dragonsong War. Due to the chaos, she's been living in the Twelveswood, at present.)

>Altan

Warrior main, through and through. Proud of it, too...and won't admit he geared for it solely in a silent attempt to upstage that one kid from the Oronir. 👀

Really, Altan just likes the heavy-hitting jobs. Tanks are his zone, as well as classes like Dragoon and Monk.

...Isn't too fond of or great at most crafting or gathering things, but does love mining. It puts his strength to use.

>Rheza

Another all-rounder, but White Mage preferred type. Rheza- unlike the others- had to learn multiple classes to get the best of all of them... Though apparently these days, one doesn't need to do so. Eh, hasn't stopped them from freshening up old memories and doing their best to keep in tip-top shape.

...Crafting and gathering has been fun, though. Now that there's more free time to spare, Rheza fills the quieter moments with doing either of those. Definitely prefers carpentry and weaving, though. Along with botany... Honestly, Gridanian bias. The forest remains their home.

@unboundhavenn did a wolqotd and I wanted to answer it in long form

"why did your WOL/OC take up this or that discipline? not limited to combat classes, but crafting/gathering ones too.

Why Do They Do The Things They Do?"

[futuresuntocrystal]

    While it’s true that she could’ve just let the little guy get sold off. Why would it ever be her problem, what some would-be-rich/famous merchant did with a Behemoth calf?

    ...It’s equally true that U’zahra has soft spots that are easy to exploit. Baby critters rank high up there... Even Behemoth calves.

[futuresuntocrystal]

Rhela was either attempting to settle into Gridania or working with the chirurgeons! Though they had latent magical abilities, they wouldn't really come into form after the Calamity...

Rheza, on the other hand, was being an adventurer! Having run away from their own family (for similar reasons, funnily enough), they were the one to have found their abilities first, and set about embracing them in full. First learning Conjury- to becoming a White Mage- then dabbling in various arts as the whims took them.

...They wouldn't survive the Calamity, however.

[ Short answers for the rest: I'karus likely avoided the fight at Carteneau, as he hadn't hit his Character Arc yet. Kinara hadn't come to Eorzea at that time, and neither had Valmir. (They were likely home or fighting to protect it.) Moriri was involved in the Dragonsong War, so it was unlikely she joined the Eorzean contingent.

Alexios... I'm not sure when she ran away from home, so I cannot say for 100% certain, at this time. However, that means they were either with family or already wandering Eorzea in search of style. Altan was still home [on the Steppe], U'zahra hadn't died yet/been saved by the Brotherhood of Ash (so she was still with the U Tribe)... Circe was Very Sundered, and Sinmara hadn't been born yet. ]

Where was your wol(oc) at during 1.0? What were they doing?
