Selection: “I’ll lead you to victory.”

Job: Gunbreaker.

Weapons: Gunblade.

AI Behavior: Almost as aggressive as L’nhei when tanking, Rena is only slightly more cautious, applying defensive cooldowns when needed but not when immediately available. She will rush into the enemy with Rough Divide, and will also use it as gap closer during boss battles. She will begin her normal combo and once she has a cartridge she will use No Mercy and apply both Sonic Break and Bow Shock, followed by Blasting Zone and the Savage Claw full combo. If she is surrounded by enemies, Rena will instead use Bloodfest and Fated Circle. When magic AoE’s come, she will use Heart of Light to shield the party, and if pressed enough, she will use Superbolide.

Battle Lines:

“On my mark!” —Starting Attack Line

“Whatever it takes!” —Using Specialty Skills, Variation 1 (Superbolide)

“My path is cleared!” —Using Specialty Skills, Variation 2 (Blasting Zone)

“I’m right here!” —Assisting an ally, Variation 1 (Heart of Light)

Limit Break:

• “Back off!” —Using Limit Break I (Shield Wall)

The Guardians of Light, Darkness and the Order of Wayward Echoes’ Ancient Biographies

Nike Lotice (X’wyhn Lehn)

A young woman born in the small seaside town of Solens in the southern continent of the unsundered star. She got a reccommendation writ to course her studies in Akadaemia Anyder, in the great capital of Amaurot. The day the application period opened at the Bureau of the Secretariat, she chanced upon the same bench as two other young students: introvert Hades and cheerful Hythlodaeus. Despite their many differences, they soon became inseparable. Nike specialized in healing and strategy, and she graduated as the best of her promotion. From the very start, she liked to travel the star to learn of other places and life styles, which she would share with her friends upon her return, and this eventually granted her the seat of Azem the Wanderer in the Convocation of Fourteen of Amaurot.

Calypso Myrine (Lyanne Blanchateau)

A polyfacetic student who entered Akadaemia Anyder because of her brilliant grades in many disciplines, in particular magic-related ones. She was one of Nike, Hades and Hythlodaeus’ classmates, and after their graduation she began working in the Bureau of the Architect as creative director and personal assistant to Hythlodaeus when he was promoted to Chief of the institution.

Zetha Nissa (Yansa Ru’shi)

A young, shy student of Akadaemia Anyder who was admitted after her essays on teleportation magicks. She was one of Nike, Hades and Hythlodaeus’ classmates, and when she graduated, Zetha entered the order of Amaurot’s Wardens as creative engineer and researcher. She is believed to be the pioneer in the creation of aetherytes as a means of quick travel for the Wardens to faraway places.

Damaris Theisiphyle (Wyznloef “Leona” Alyrsthalwyn)

This young student of Akadaemia Anyder was mostly known for her promiscuous nature, but her talent for lyrical art and rhetoric allowed her to be admitted, and she was one of Nike, Hades and Hythlodaeus’ classmates. After her graduation, Damaris began her career as independent poet, and she was a renowned orator who never left anyone indifferent when she took part in the Hall of Rhetoric’s debates.

Hesperos Thalestrys (Mikhel Shir’valah)

Hesperos was a precocious student who earned his place at Akadaemia Anyder two years before the usual age, and he was admitted alongside his elder sister Deyanira. They were both Nike, Hades and Hythlodaeus’ classmates, and Hesperos soon showed great talent in aetherology and phantomology. After his graduation, he entered the research team in Akadaemia Anyder, and due to his excellent record he was destined to concept research at Anamnesis Anyder.

Deyanira Thalestrys (Samra Shir’valah)

Young Deyanira entered Akadaemia Anyder alongside her younger brother Hesperos because of her essays about justice and personal defense, and she was one of Nike, Hades and Hythlodaeus’ classmates. Once she graduated, she joined Amaurot’s Wardens, and years later she was transferred to Anamnesis Anyder’s security corps as chief of emergency operations.

Alexios Nycanor (Ryuzan Kyouko)

This young man, despite his clumsiness, earned his place at Akadaemia Anyder for his essays on protection and healing applied to items and conflictive locations, and he was one of Nike, Hades and Hythlodaeus’ classmates. After he graduated, which he did with no small amount of effort, he joined Amaurot’s Wardens as Akadaemia Anyder’s experimental teams’ security chief.

Praxedes Bryseis (Joana bas Strome)

A young student whose thesis in which she elaborated on the people’s dependance on creation magicks forgetting their own bodies’ potential as aetherial amplifiers earned her a place in Akadaemia Anyder, and she was one of Nike, Hades and Hythlodaeus’ classmates. Once she graduated, Praxedes spent her time between serving in Amaurot’s Wardens and defending her rather revolutionary ideas in the Hall of Rhetoric.

Myrias Anaxyleia (Nagi Uranai)

Born with the gift of prophecy, Myrias was initially admitted in Akadaemia Anyder to study said ability and she was one of Nike, Hades and Hythlodaeus’ classmates. She turned out to be a brilliant student whose specialty was astroaetherology, and after her graduation she was offered a position in Anamnesis Anyder since her visions might give the researchers completely new concepts to study. It is believed she made a whole file of prophecies about the Final Days, the last excerpt being the most known after the cataclysm.

Eirene Laodoce (Enia Eylt)

An exchange student from overseas who was reccommended to enter Akadaemia Anyder for her work on magiteknology and aetherochemistry, disciplines still to be explored back in the day because they were not completely magic in nature, but magic applied. She was part of Nike, Hades and Hythlodaeus’ class, and when she graduated, Eirene began working in the Bureau of the Architect as creator and safety supervisor.

Dimas Antenor (Victoriel Matiere)

A young man whose intrinsic talent, nothing to write home about, would have not gave him the place in Akadaemia Anyder if not because his determination and effort to overcome his shortcomings earned him the reccommendation, and he was one of Nike, Hades and Hythlodaeus’ classmates. He greatly struggled to graduate, but once he did, he entered Akadaemia Anyder’s phytobiology research team under Paragon Halmarut of the Convocation of Fourteen’s direction.

Thalassa Aoida (Dhemswys Swarnahctwyn)

This young woman earned her place in Akadaemia Anyder for her theory on using a tide-controlling wind-aspected matrix for safe sailing at high seas, and she studied in the same class as Nike, Hades and Hythlodaeus. After her graduation she was offered to work at Akadaemia Anyder under Paragon Mitron of the Convocation of Fourteen’s direction in the department of ichtiology.

Danae Aryon (L’nhei Mhaat)

A young woman who entered Akadaemia Anyder alongside her twin brother Anakletos, though their studies were quite different, for Danae researched the intrinsical aether of every individual as source of strength, both physical and mental. She was one of Nike, Hades and Hythlodaeus’ classmates, and after her graduation she entered Amaurot’s Wardens as sentinel and advisor of the rest of her unit, assigned to Anamnesis Anyder’s protection.

Anakletos Aryon (L’zhai Tia)

This young man entered Akadaemia Anyder alongside his twin sister Danae; however, Anakletos was fascinated by phantomology. He studied in the same class as Nike, Hades and Hythlodaeus, and when he graduated, his essays on phantomology earned him a place as researcher in Akadaemia Anyder under Paragon Lahabrea of the Convocation of Fourteen’s direction, though years later he was transferred to Anamnesis Anyder to research and create pure concepts.

Xenia Diotyma (Aina Roig i Valls)

An overseas student who came to study at Akadaemia Anyder because of a reccommendation, Xenia focused her essays on emotion and their impact on the aetherial flow of individuals and if trauma affected temporally or permantently the results of creation magicks. She was part of Nike, Hades and Hythlodaeus’ class, and after her graduation she turned down positions of greater renown to research the relationship between aetherology and psychology, and she was usually invited to debates at the Hall of Rhetoric. Her studies on aetheropsychology were of great relevance after the first signs of the Sound’s effects.

Hypate Augea (Yrere Yre)

A brilliant student who earned her place at Akadaemia Anyder for her essays on phantomology applied to healing and magicked wards through the creation of familiars meant to amplify aetherial flow. She was one of Nike, Hades and Hythlodaeus’ classmates, she graduated as one of the best of the promotion and she was granted a place in Anamnesis Anyder as researcher and cataloger of concepts.

Eunice Astheria (Rena Zjene)

A rather rebellious student who entered Akadaemia Anyder mainly because of her unorthodox point of view, written down in many essays, about the society of their time, and she was part of Nike, Hades and Hythlodaeus’ class. Her arguments, always well elaborated but extraordinarily passionate, turned her into a great leader and orator. After she graduated, and despite many who opposed her ideas, Eunice always had quite the audience whenever she took part on a debate in the Hall of Rhetoric to discuss the issues to be addressed of the Ancients’ society.

Leandros Hyeron (Sohru Arshraf)

A young man with unorthodox artistic aspirations, for he believed in individual expression and creative inspiration through dance and music. His essays about these topics earned him a place at Akadaemia Anyder and he studied in the same class as Nike, Hades and Hythlodaeus. He was admitted to Anamnesis Anyder after he graduated to research abstract concepts like music and emotional expression, though that did not prevent him from becoming a performer of great renown in Amaurot’s theaters.

Aethra Alitheia (Aelun Arulaq / Melinoe of Dalvalan)

Daughter of he who at the time held the seat of Emet-Selch in the Convocation of Fourteen and a young woman with great creative abilities, she had no issues being granted a place to study at Akadaemia Anyder. She was one of Nike, Hades and Hythlodaeus’ classmates and focused on sorcery and phantomology, and after she graduated it was not long before she entered the most specialized research team in Anamnesis Anyder. Apparently Aethra might have been romantically involved with her former classmate Hythlodaeus, and it is believed her phantomology research include drafts for the requirements of Zodiark’s great summoning during the Final Days.

Messene Elakhate (Kinnara Rhoda)

A young woman from overseas who came to Amaurot to study at Akadaemia Anyder for her essays on ethics and sense of duty to those in need. She was one of Nike, Hades and Hythlodaeus’ classmates, and though many thought she would focus on the rhetorical arts at her graduation, Messene chose to join Amaurot’s Wardens, and for her strong principles and loyalty she was promoted to bodyguard of the Convocation of Fourteen.

Euryleia Persys (Imi Lyehga Rhusdoya)

Scion of a prestigious family in her city of birth, this young woman traveled to Amaurot to study phantomology at Akadaemia Anyder since she was greatly gifted in that discipline. She was one of Nike, Hades and Hythlodaeus’ classmates, and after she graduated, Euryleia entered one of the phantomology research teams in Akadaemia Anyder under Paragon Lahabrea of the Convocation of Fourteen’s direction. Many theories about the creation of no few Guardian Forces are atributed to her.

Iphis Eneos (Maral Qestir / Maral Adewale Nbumko)

A young man who traveled to Amaurot from the southern continent. He obtained his place at Akadaemia Anyder for his essays about combining opposite aspects in magicks, back in the day a theory that was developed in overseas lyceums. He was part of Nike, Hades and Hythlodaeus’ class, and after his graduation Iphis moved between Akadaemia Anyder and the Bureau of the Architect as he polished the art of spellweaving. In time he became an advisor for the Convocation of Fourteen in elemental issues.

Leokhares Agenor (Ivanov Maevsch)

This young man was said to be able to speak with the star itself because of his ability to interpret the aetherial flow of the land, and he came to Amaurot from the east to study at Akadaemia Anyder. He was in the same class as Nike, Hades and Hythlodaeus, and he stood out particularly in astroaetherology. After his graduation, Leokhares became part of Anamnesis Anyder’s research team, and during the time period that preceded the Final Days, his aportations to the reports warning of the possible adverse effects that might entail summoning a Guardian Force as powerful as Zodiark are worth mentioning. Apparently, these reports were part of the arguments wielded by Venat and her followers as justification to sunder Zodiark through Hydaelyn, though it is unknown if they used Leokhares’ research with his consentment.

Amphion Ireyas (Hector Blake)

A young prodigy from northern lands who obtained a reccommendation of his city’s lyceum to study at Akadaemia Anyder, and because of this he traveled to Amaurot. He was one of Nike, Hades and Hythlodaeus’ classmates, and he specialized in magicking wards and aetherial barriers and catalyzing pure aether into vessels. After his graduation, Amphion continued his study of aetherial catalysts in the Words of Lahabrea at Akadaemia Anyder as part of the research team. His essays are believed to be the foundation for imbuing memory in organic crystal vessels that much later, in the sundered world, would play a fundamental role in the Allagan royal technology to clone their scions with the memories of their originals implanted and intact through magicked blood.

The Order of Wayward Echoes is a fellowship founded by Rena Zjene and Sohru Arshraf that travels the Rift and journeys between the Source and its reflections through the interdimensional airship of the Ancients, The Ouroboros. Though for a long time they were their only members, in recent times and following the events in the First shard, their ranks have welcomed new blood that embraces the Order’s tenets: Light and Darkness are to thrive in harmony, not cause grief and despair in an endless war waged by the gods.

The Call to the First was what guided The Ouroboros to the Source, where the Order met with the Guardians of Light and Darkness and learned of the new threat taking shape. As it was part of their work to help those in need in different shards, the Order decided to join in the efforts to save the First from the Light, and it was thanks to their airship that all Guardians could make the journey, since only the Warrior of Light was summoned properly. It was in the First where they found out about the Ancients, the old world, the origins of Hydaelyn and Zodiark and the divine war that had been waging for eons. Though they had no choice but to lend their efforts to defeat the grieving Ascian Paragon, Emet-Selch, the Order of Wayward Echoes swore to make his final request a reality, and for that they would aid the Guardians of Light and Darkness, their purpose now clear: defeat Hydaelyn and Zodiark and end the war that started all wars, once and for all.

The Order of Wayward Echoes has eight members:

Rena Zjene, the Wandering Vanguard. Rava Viera, captain of the Order and bearer of a Dark Crystal of Water. (GNB)

Sohru Arshraf, the Riftdancer. Helion Hrothgar, second-in-command of the Order and bearer of a Light Crystal of Fire. (DNC)

Lyanne Blanchateau, the Fatewalker (RDM)

“There are countless paths in life. Each one of us choose our own fate when we decide our next step. And each step gives us more and more freedom.”

Well-known for both her talent and beauty, Lyanne Blanchateau was born in the town of Caelphe in the Cieldalaes Islands south of Vylbrand, scion of the noble House Charlemoix. Her father was the veteran adventurer Feliciaint Blanchateau, descendant of Gelmorran Duskwight communities, and it was from him that Lyanne got the inspiration to travel the world. She excelled in everything she tried her hands at, and was a source of pride for her parents, even if her noble relatives did not approve of her thirst for adventure. When she was nine years old, she was given a quite special gift: a behemoth cub, which she named Ebonclaw, and which would become her steadfast companion both in battle and in her travels. Despite the protestations of House Charlemoix, since she was the last scion of the main lineage branch that may perpetuate the bloodline, Lyanne left Caelphe when she was twenty-two, in part because she would not be able to keep the Charlemoix bloodline alive anyways as ever since she was a child she had only felt attracted to women. She traveled to Limsa Lominsa to join the Arcanists’ Guild, and once she finished her training she went to Coerthas to study the climate change after the Calamity and the advent of behemoths in the area, so she spent nearly a year in Camp Dragonhead, a time in which she became good friends with the commander, Lord Haurchefant Greystone.

Lyanne’s fate made a turn when a former Crimson Duelist of Ala Mhigo, the red mage X’rhun Tia, arrived to Camp Dragonhead during his pilgrimage. He took notice of Lyanne’s talent and offered her to train in his discipline, and she agreed. She took to the road with him, and swiftly excelled in the art of red magic. A year later X’rhun deemed her a proper red mage and Lyanne, alongside Ebonclaw, returned to adventuring throughout Eorzea until she received the call from the Scions of the Seventh Dawn to join the special unit that would accompany the Warrior of Light. Lyanne had the Echo and during her adventures she had received a Light Crystal of Earth, so she answered said call. She met X’wyhn Lehn, the Warrior of Light, on the road to Rhalgr’s Reach when she and Ebonclaw helped her in an ambush, though she would only know who she was later when the whole unit, which would become the Guardians of Light, met together.

Lyanne and her companions traveled with the Warrior of Light, and because of her former friendship with the now deceased Lord Haurchefant, she became X’wyhn’s closest confidant amongst the Guardians of Light, and her talent and skill made her the de facto second-in-command of the group. Devoted to adventuring, yet yearning for meeting a serious romantic partner, Lyanne’s personal life would take a turn when, after the Call to the First, the Order of the Wayward Echoes arrived to the Source, and she met its captain Rena Zjene. She immediately caught the Fatewalker’s eye, and the feeling seemed reciprocated. Both began some sort of relationship, though issues about compromise on Rena’s side had been always present. Regardless of her romantic tribulations, Lyanne remains determined in her role as steward of the Warrior of Light, and her sense of justice immediately convinced her to honor Emet-Selch’s final request to uphold the Ancients’ legacy and give voice to their silenced history.
