A few shots I did for @aigaiap @knight-kat

The two Hotgo sisters, Qara Hotgo and Chakha Hotgo

[knight-kat-blog]

I've been left out alone like a damn criminal I've been praying for help cause I can't take it all I'm not done, It's not over.

Now I'm fighting this war since the day of the fall And I'm desperately holding on to it all But I'm lost I'm so damn lost

Oh I wish it was over, And I wish you were here Still I'm hoping that somehow

Cause your soul is on fire A shot in the dark What did they aim for when they missed your heart?

I breathe underwater It's all in my hands What can I do Don't let it fall apart A shot in the dark

Rooks Moks Character Timeline!

In order to keep track of my character’s extensive backstory and the roleplay I’ve had on this character, I wrote up his whole timeline! Yaay! I’ve so far done everything since the very last whole year of RP I’ve done on him.  (ಠ_ಠ)

Even with the barest of bones this timeline is, it was a good one-two hour process. It’s all here below!

8 Years - Karakul farmer/tender

 11 years - Chosen to be Nergui Moks. Inherits soul crystal.

 12 years - Undergoes rigorous, daily training

 15 years - Rook inherits the runic sword 'Laniakea'. He's sent off on mission to hunt voidsent and cults dedicated to Primal Summoning. He is partnered with several other Moks ranging from Ganzorig (who was in pursuit of a toxic romantic relationship with Rook), Sarnai, Bataar, Chenghiz,Thein (his brother) and Qara. Rook looks up to Chenghiz as a mentor and friend. They quickly make enemies of a vast criminal family known as the Hashimoto House. The group of hunters infiltrate several meetings and parties, including ritualistic gatherings staged as parties.

 16 years - Bataar sacrifices himself to save everyone in a fight with a particularly powerful summoner. Sarnai pitches they should kill Hashimoto directly, while Chenghiz shoots the idea down, claiming it would bring Kugane and the Garleans that Hashimoto is partnered with down on the Steppe, and also reveal the Moks.

 17 years - The hunter group's identities are compromised. Lord Hashimoto puts out a hit on each member to bring him Nergui. Sarnaa, Ganzorig, Qara, and Chenghiz come out triumphant with fatal injuries, while Thein perishes due to his bad leg and attempting to save his lover's village. Rook is outraged to learn of Thein's death and abandons all subtly. With convincing from Ganzorig, Rook, alone, storms the Hashimoto House and brings ruin to the family, slaughtering everyone in it and adjacent to it, as well as Lord Hashimoto, himself. In his exhaustion after the battle, as wells as his pains from the resistance the Abyss inside him was giving him, he's captured by his successor's guards, who hold Rook for several months and torture him. During his phases in and out of consciousness, he experiences flashbacks to the past lives of other dark knights.

 18 years - Rook escapes custody, killing his captors and starting a resistance out of fellow captives. He takes over the Hashimoto's cult. He returns to the Steppe where he engages in a heated argument with the elders over his actions. Upon revealing his cult, the elders' anger is quelled and they allow him to resume as he is. Rook uses the cult as a means to be in multiple places at once and wipe out his enemies. 19 years - Rook indoctrinates several cults, while culling the cults that do not join. He believes the only way to stop summoning and the criminal activity that plagues the East is to control it and then proceed to isolate the slavers and the Garleans. The name Nergui starts to hold a tiny bit of weight throughout the East. When Qara tries to confront Rook on his extreme measures, he laughs it off. He then threatens her when she tells him Thein wouldn't want this.

 Rook is pursued by a dangerous voidsent who proceeds to corrupt an enormous portion of his cult and turn them against him. Rook defeats him with the help of his cult and usual crew. Upon defeating the voidsent, Rook is told of the true fate of all Nerguis - that they are to become bait for a long term plan to create a powerful primal. Chenghiz manages to convince Rook otherwise.

 20 years - Rook and Chenghiz are sent on a mission to Dalmasca to stop a mass flood of voidsent. It turns out the voidsent were summoned by a powerful politician who was attempting to secretly resist the Garlean takeover. Horrified at the lengths and sacrifices he made to summon, Rook strikes him down. They deal with the voidsent problem, but are ultimately chased out by Garlean war mecha and soldiers. Rook has a vision of the past lives of several Dark Knights, again, some of them being Xaelic in nature – other Nerguis.

 Upon returning to the Steppe, Rook learns there is already a consideration for another Nergui, and that the Moks feel that he is too difficult to control. It is here Rook learns the truth about the Moks' plan to facilitate a primal through the title 'Nergui Moks'. When confronting his elders about this, he is ambushed and attacked. He is outdone by Chenghiz and defeated. He is stripped and taken out to the Burn by horseback, where he is left defenseless. Rook survives the trials of the Burn and kills the wildlife to craft makeshift clothing and weapons. He also makes use of the Allagan facilities buried within the salt. During his several weeks in the Burn, he contemplates on his actions and is forced to recognize himself as a monster, with the help of hallucinating his brother several times. He eventually finds his way back to the Steppe, where he steals Laniakea back and flees, seeking to undo the actions of the monstrosity he's created, regarding his cult. In the jungles of the East, he meets 'Mr. Huy' in a battle against the Garleans. Huy notices the anger in Rook and through their journeying together, slowly begins to help Rook heal from his toxic behaviors and guilt. Together, they confront the cult Rook facilitated and are forced to kill the new leader, who has only poisoned them further. Upon killing the cult leader, Rook gives a heartfelt speech about freedom and manages to convince a majority of the cult to disband, while others profusely refuse. Rook swears that as long as they do not summon voidsent ever again, he will not kill them, even if they disagree with his disbanding. Rook becomes Huy's apprentice.

21 Years - Huy and Rook venture together to fight Garleans and help teach various beastmen tribes not to summon primals. Their efforts in such are not entirely successful, as the Kojin continue to summon Susano. 22 Years - Huy and Rook turn to Dalmasca, where they help Moka Mirka and the Dalmascan Thieves Guild in their resistance against the Garleans, undermining the Legatus' efforts but were ultimately unsuccessful in removing them. 23 Years - Rook is separated from Huy in a battle at sea, and is washed away in a storm. Rook ends up rescued by a boat on its way to Eorzea, where Rook helplessly wanders about. He eventually makes it to Coerthas, where he collapses in the fields from an empty stomach. He's found by Atticus Corvossa, a runaway Garlean engineer who takes Rook in and feeds him. Rook spends an ample time under him and begins to learn his trade, as well as abandons the name Nergui. For the next several years, Rook becomes his apprentice in learning to make airship parts.

24 years - Rook cuts his fucking hair.

26 Years - Corvossa is killed. Rook seeks revenge. Believing the work to be of former Garleans, Rook follows a trail to the Ironblood Mercenary Company. He attempts to question several members about their leader, who proceed to attack him. Rook leaves them alive, but in need of medical attention. He focuses specifically on a brighteyed new-blooded Paladin, telling him to open his mind. Rook starts a rivalry with the Paladin, who gets stronger every time he meets him thanks to the guidance of Neoma Hotgo. Rook is finally able to reveal to the Paladin after a long battle in La Noscea that he's being used by a Garlean sellout to capture Eorzean war figures mislabeled as vigilantes or criminals. Satisfied with the result of exposing and taking in the Ironblood's leader, as well as making the Paladin the new leader, Rook returns to airship duty. Rook begins to dabble in mercenary work again, meeting people such as Tsali Oronir and others. He reunites with Huy, who has come to the west, and both are more than elated to see one another.

27 Years - Rook takes K'rehz Tia, a pitfighting Seeker into his adventuring party. Their journies have them all over Eorzea, where they eventually encounter Eudoxia for the first the first time. K'rehz is nearly killed by Eudoxia, but hangs on by a thread when he awakens to the abyss inside him. Rook entrusts Thein's soul crystal to him, believing him to be like a brother after the trials they've gone through. However, K'rehz cannot handle his attunement to the abyss and begins to grow dark habits and only uses Thein's soul crystal as a battery. Rook apprehends the soul crystal and the two violently part ways, where K'rehz swears vengeance on Rook.

Rook and Huy are tasked with exploring the island of Eureka. It's here Rook encounters Chenghiz, who is investigating the island based on its strange aether and primal nature. Rook and Chenghiz fight in Eureka Hydatos, where Rook breaks Laniakea in his fight with him. Chenghiz impales Rook with a half of Laniakea and crucifies him on a giant tree. Through Rook's blood and aether, he is able to morph the half of Laniakea into a new sword attuned to his own aether.

 Upon returning to Eorzea, Rook takes on Nostrada as an apprentice and starts up a grand company with Sindele Raiacos. It’s during this time they rescue a girl by the name of ‘Z’.

28 Years - Present. TBD

Qara in the Ring of Fire.

[kolak-magiya-a]

Putting this under a readmore cause I’m gonna talk about most if not all of my muses, both existent and upcoming.

So let me tell you about Melody.

She actually started out as a D&D character of mine, she was a Tiefling bard and she was amazing. She was the bane of my DM’s existence with her Cutting Words and she pulled quite a few clutches in the homebrew monstrosity that was the campaign.

Sadly, the campaign ended in a TPK, but I had retired her before then for a different character. She’s still out in that world somewhere and the DM discontinued the worldspace so.. why not have fun with it?

Melody went on to continue adventuring and getting stronger, even after having a little girl following the death of another PC that was shipped with her.

And at the end of it all, she vowed to track down and destroy the being that killed her friends. She was successful... but vanished in the wake of the battle.

She woke up in Eorzea, with no memory of who she was before. Only that she was chosen by a higher power. Mysterious powers emit from her on occasion, remnants of the woman she used to be, and she has a strange connection to the Crystal Tower.

Ryce (pronounced like Rice) is interesting in my books. He started out as a jokey “ha ha” kind of muse, with no real backstory as I was new to the game when I made him.

Then, I dove into the lore of the game, reading up as much as I could about the Xaela and the tribes. One of which stood out to me: The Hotgo, the ones that were slaughtered by the Dotharl. That’s when I decided he’d be one of the very few survivors - but unlike those canonly stated, he was there during the battle as a teenager and witnessed the deaths of his family and friends.

Despite his tragic backstory though, he’s still a goofball and I love him. He gives me a new perspective on the story of the game itself to think about as a non-wol oc

I’m still very proud of his design as well. You don’t see many really pretty male Au’Ra running about in-game.... plus, he’s purple~

Xadai is another oc dear to my heart, but he’s sort of the opposite of Ryce in a few ways. He’s a big grump, but also suffered tragedy upon the death of his fiancee - of which he was framed for. He was filled with anger and bitterness, and was made a perfect candidate to join the Echoes; a group of assassins.

Xadai has taken many lives, many of which deserved it in some way, shape or form. He will gladly take more, until he finds out who killed his fiancee.

That said, he certainly does have the ability to form soft spots for people. You just have to get past the attitude first.

Honorable Mentions:

Argenia, a Viera woman who has a gift. She’s a psychic medium who sometimes sees brief visions of the future, and can sense the presence of spirits, though she lacks the strength to communicate with them.

Cielzro (Ciel) doesn’t have a lot going for him. He’s an inventor, housed in Ishgard. He inherited his family’s manor after his parents and brother were executed for treason prior to the height of the Dragonsong war.

Qara is another member of the Echoes, and was a partner to Xadai for some time. He’s loyal to the group and will do what he’s asked, when he’s asked. Almost like he’s too eager to prove himself to someone - anyone who will see him.

And my newest oc in progress, W’Kaia (Or just K). Badass bitch. Probably runs or is a high position in a gang. Rogue/Machinist main.

Henlo Tumblr! Somehow I've managed to accrue just over 100 followers here in a short space of time, at least a few of which I'm pretty sure aren't bots ;)

In celebration I'm going to do a giveaway! I'm putting the prizes below and all the rules and info for the giveaway under the read more!

The short version is this: follow me @flame-blade and reblog this post with a picture, any picture, of your FFXIV WoL/favourite FFXIV NPC/favourite FFXIV OC or even your favourite minion or mount, and tell me why you love it/them!

Doesn't have to be stellar in quality or fancy at all, it's not a contest like that, it's just a fun way for me to get my post spread around and an excuse to hear my followers infodump about their favourite things.

CLOSING DATE/TIME: 7th November 2022 at 11:59pm UK time

PLEASE NOTE: I will make alts to enable cross data center gifts if you'd like, but I am NOT sure if gifting works from alts or how the changes are working right now. Please be patient while I figure it out :)

Have fun, and tell your friends! (And sorry for the amount of info under the cut... Most of it is obvious common sense but take a look anyway please!)

FIRST PRIZE: £15 of Mogstation items, (via friends list,) and a photoshoot with up to three WoLs and/or NPCs of your choosing! You will get three lightly edited shots and a bevvy of other unedited, raw screenshots!

SECOND PRIZE: £10 of Mogstation items, (via friends list,) and a photoshoot with up to two WoLs and/or NPCs of your choosing! You will get three lightly edited shots and a bevvy of other unedited, raw screenshots!

THIRD PRIZE: £5 of Mogstation items, (via friends list,) and a photoshoot with one WoL/NPC of your choosing! You will get three lightly edited shots and a bevvy of other unedited, raw screenshots!

RULES & INFO:

Don't reblog to giveaway blogs or tag as a giveaway.

You must be following this blog, flame-blade. I will check before I contact you.

The giveaway closes on the Seventh of November at 11:59pm UK time. Entries after this point won't be counted.

I will contact you if you are a winner on or before the 10th of November.

The photoshoot prize turnaround is variable, please bear in mind that I am chronically physically ill, ND and mentally ill - some days I just Can't Do The Thing. Turnaround time may be a lil slow but I will get it done for you! The prizes will be sent out as soon as we can organise me temporarily friending your character(s) to get your items sent over. I do not wish to use Paypal or other avenues for prizes with a monetary value, apologies. I am willing to make new alts on other DCs and worlds providing that'll actually let me send gifts straight after creating them, if that makes sense? I'm not sure it would work that way but I'm happy to try!

You must reblog this post to enter. Only one reblog counts, and likes don't count as an entry!

Similarly, you must add an image of some kind, screenshot or drawn, of your WoL/fave FFXIV NPC/fave FFXIV OC/etc. to be entered on your reblog.

This is not a contest of skill. Winners will be entirely randomly drawn.

You should be okay with meeting me in game if you want your photoshoot to include your WoL or OC, or alternatively you can send me an Anam dat file if you're familiar with how to do that, or you can even give me your character's data through screenshots of the character creator! Meeting up or giving me a dat file is much easier than gathering data from screenies of the CC honestly but I'll work with you on this. I have character slots free and can make an alt on any DC, any server, to meet up with you.

You do not need to be 'present' for your photoshoot! I will do these in my own time, so I won't be wasting your day by moving your character inches and stopping over and over!

I WILL do NSFW or SFW, shippy or not shippy, bloody and gory and horrific and violent imagery. I will NOT do Lalafell NSFW, or anything with underage characters that even implies anything but a platonic friendship. This rule includes very firmly the Leveilleur twins, Ryne & Gaia, underage OCs even if they appear of age in game, and any character with the 'child' model type, though do note that this list is not exhaustive. I also will not do anything hateful, bigoted, or anything I just plain don't feel comfortable doing. I am open to discussion about kink related things - if between adults that consent I'm generally cool with most stuff!

I will download and enable mods for you if you wish me to use them! I use mods myself liberally so there's no issue there. If you'd rather not use them and prefer vanilla, I will only enable the base mods I have for your shoot - the Defined series which upscales things like faces & hair & NPCs, and basic SFW body models which replace the 'underwear'/smallclothes models.

At MINIMUM you will get two different poses for each actor involved in your shoot, per prize tier. If you want a shippy NSFW shoot, I will do two couples poses for example. For the third prize? Two solo poses of your fave. Does that makes sense? I hope so...

I am offering three lightly edited screenies for you! These edits can be just fixing up lighting and levels, to editing clipping, to little fun things like memes, book covers, magazine covers, faux drawings and paintings, etc. I am WILLING to attempt video and gif edits/fancy pants stuff, but I am very rusty in that regard and haven't used anything but PS since I got sick.

Finally, while I am offering you up to three lightly edited shots, ANY raw, full res, unedited screenshots I take will be put on my Google Drive for you to download at your leisure. With credit, you can do anything with them. I take a lot of screenies, most of which are duds, but you'll even get those too!

Self Knowledge Questionnaire: Qara Hotgo

Shyness

Part of you is gripped by the fear that you’ll launch into something and completely mess it up. The upside of this is wise caution: people are indeed often too rash, whereas you know, by instinct, that holding back can save you. Probably, you feel shame and self-disgust a bit too much. But when you do feel in your element, you act with a wisdom and sensitivity never found in people with thicker skins.

Aggression

One part of your character is anger in all its forms: frustration, outrage – and when anger is suppressed – bitterness, grumpiness, and bodily aches. Fundamentally, frustration comes from hope: you get upset because you expect your life will be more than a valley of tears. One way to deny aggression is to direct it inwards, as self-criticism. But you’re at your best when you acknowledge anger, and act it out clearly and in a focused way, with honor.

Resilience

You have a tendency, after a setback, to turn your emotions towards re-striving. What attracts you is the idea of wiping out a humiliation by resumed action – overcoming weakness, repressing your fear. Because part of your motive is pride, you can sometimes be unwilling to admit weakness or to receive aid. But at heart, your insistence on coming back and never folding has taught you a valuable pessimism: you know that important journeys are never easy.

Detailed Character Profile: Qara Hotgo

Appearance

gender: female race: Au Ra (Xaela) height: 5’3” eye color: Red with blue limbal rings hair color: Jet Black with highlights of blue from dye.

The basics

name day: Mid-Summer season. (She doesn’t know the exact date she was born on the Eorzean calendar). occupation: Privateer (officially). sexual identification: Heterosexual romantic identification: Heteroromantic alignment: Chaotic Good criminal history: Qara has several minor law violations due to her initial cultural ignorance when she first arrived in Eorzea. Some examples include: punching a drunkard in the face in front of a Yellow Jacket, and painting a ward in the Mists with “graffiti”. Her biggest legal violation is harboring a criminal, but charges were dropped due to ultimately turning the criminal in. (However, considering how much vigilante work she’s done, the above examples are only things she’s been caught doing.)

relationship status: Attached in a closed relationship. sweet on: Zanzan Yanzan ( @panda-ffxiv )

Favorites

favorite food: Buuz favorite drink: Milk (yep, just freaking milk)

favorite artist: She’s never met any real artists, but she would LOVE to meet a skilled painter though.

favorite scent: She’s grown to love the scent of the ocean. favorite person: Asking her this question would make her shut down for an hour or so, and you’d still not get an answer if you waited that long.

Ten random facts

1 – Qara the Artist. Qara can paint more than her face. She can paint portraits of people with realistic detail. This is a skill few know she has, and aside from painting her own face, it’s a rarely-used skill.  

2 – Qara the Knight. Qara’s true cause is that of the Dark Knights. Only extended to all of Eorzea and beyond. Her privateer occupation was born of a need to facilitate her work as a Dark Knight, so she is not the typical privateer. It’s not about loot or getting rich. It’s about freedom to take the work she believes in with minimal laws to get in the way. As Dark Knights are essentially vigilantes, she keeps her true cause secret, and uses Dark Arts only when she really needs to.  

3 – A Contrasting Sister. Qara is uncompromising about her morality (see alignment). So how does she have a loving bond with a sister who has done some practically unforgivable deeds?

The two sisters grew up together, but one (Chakha) was unlucky enough to end up in the hands of the Garlean Shadows after their tribe was massacred. Chakha was “indoctrinated” and trained to be an assassin. And once she “escaped” the Garleans, she ended up in the hands of Ul’dah Monetarists…  

Qara loves Chakha, and keeps her close because she wants to save her sister who she believes is not the heartless weapon she was made to be. (Inspiration example: Captain America and The Winter Soldier.)  

4 – Speaking of Morality. Qara believes many laws are made to protect the powerful, and do not protect those truly in need of protecting. She tends to want to protect refugees, the poor and those who want freedom from oppression. Saving unfortunate groups of people allows her to do what she couldn’t do for her tribe.

5 – Qara is an Introvert. Unlike my other character, Qara is more introverted, and it sometimes makes her a challenge to play. Many of her thoughts are kept to herself unless she thinks she needs to express them. She is most wordy around a small group of friends who she has grown comfortable with.

6 – The Stormbreaker Captain. The ship is an unexpected result of two years of RP. Over four dozen Xaela refugees, hundreds of Lalafell farmers and one wealthy family of mages came together to build the small ship with all their resources and knowledge combined.

Qara is in her position due to her drive, passion and zeal which makes her a good symbolic leader, but not yet an experienced one. (Inspiration example: Joan of Arc). However, the Xaela refugees on board are people she personally lead away from piracy to live a new life. This helps ground her authority despite it being pretty audacious.

Fortunately, she also has a Quartermaster (Zanzan) more experienced with sailing who helps her lead and make tactical choices in addition to a crew where over half the members are veteran South Sea Lalafell sailors. This helps her avoid mistakes that would cost her the ship.    

7 – Relentless Passion. While she may not always show it due to her introverted nature, Qara has a zeal about her that has allowed her to overcome many obstacles in her life. From adapting to Eorzea to gathering a crew for her ship, and eventually playing a part in saving an entire island of people.

8 – Her Many Colors. As a Hotgo, Qara is always carrying several tiny containers of paint. Different colors represent different moods. While she used to use these face paints more often, she still uses them in instances of intense emotion, or when she expects to face a noteworthy situation.

9 – Eorzean as a Second Language. Qara’s mastery over the Eorzean common tongue has improved, but she still has trouble with vocabulary not commonly used in conversations. This also influences the way she speaks.

10 – Spiritual. Qara not only believes in the Au Ra religion, but also believes in spirits. It makes her superstitious, and anytime there is a religious contradiction or something unexplainable, she will often find answers in the spirits. She can’t hear them, but she believes every story and myth she’s been told about them by her grandmother.
