Playing the first plotline as an Au Ra and getting to the elezen hating on dragons was such an experience. I was constantly like "But, I'm a dragon!" and my friend kept saying "Shhh no your a lizard its fine-". I could see this being a problem with Laderus who wants to point out he is in fact a dragon person even if its not a good time to remind people of that-
Ziero (They/Them It/Its) belongs to @nyan-binary-moths

Twin Stars Bound in Crystal
Here are some information on Ziero and Zeryde, my current Warrior of Lights, and 'twin' Azems (in which the seat of Azem was held by two ancients and the stone split in half).
They exist in a canon-adjacent timeline that follows the MSQ almost exactly, with some alterations (mostly that Estinien's dragonblood is woken up by Nidhogg possessing him and changes him physically)
Tumblr media
Ziero Gahjewesfv - Gleaner of Light
A Veena from Sharlayan in his early thirties who just wanted a simple life, damnit. When Ziero was sent out on a gleaner mission, he did not expect to take several years to go home to Sharlayan.
Dutiful to a fault, Ziero is a caring man who falls hard for those who look at him like he's the sun in their sky. He often tries to bottle up his anger and frustration, until his darkside rises and he explodes in rage. He also believes he's cursed with killing his lovers; his lovers keep dying off on him and he's very sick of it.
First Encounter With the Scions: Post Killing Ifrit
Notable Relationships:
Zeryde Azdaj: Found family, something more than 'adoptive sister'
Alphinaud: Found family, little brother who he's very proud of
Alisiae: Found family, little feisty sister that is helping him dabble in magic again
G'raha Tia: Ex-crush/bedfellow, fucker who LOCKED HIMSELF IN A TOWER AND THEN TRIED TO SACRIFICE HIMSELF. AGAIN.
Haurcefaunt Fortemps: Ex-boyfriend/support network, GODS DAMNIT WHY DO MY BOYFRIENDS KEEP DYING
Notable Storybeats:
Meets Zeryde mid Titan fight
G'raha's sacrifice almost breaks him, but Ryde keeps him sane
He becomes very protective of Alphinaud during Heavensward
Haurcefaunt is sort of a rebound relationship that affects him VERY hard
He takes up dark knight post Vault
Ziero handles most of getting Hraesvelgr to fight Nidhog while Ryde is kidnapped by said dragon
He forces himself to keep Hien at arms length bc he's sure that Hien will die if he gets with him (yes, he thinks he's cursed)
Alisiae starts teaching him red magic once she's well enough
Ziero takes the brunt of the light corruption, and Ardbert is one of his shards
Primary Classes: DRK, RDMish
Formerly: SCH, SMN
Non IC Classes: WHM
Currently IC: G'RAHA TIA I SWEAR TO FUCK--- ALSO ELIDIBUS FUCK OFF
Currently in-game: Shadowbringers patch content, currently dealing with Elidibus.

Tumblr media
Zeryde Azdaj - Scalebound in Light
A monk of the Radiant Host, and unwitting spy for her shatrap in Eorzea. An ancient Allagan experiment long put in stasis, Zeryde isn't exactly sure when she 'woke up', and generally will tell you she's around 20 to 25 summers in age. She is sent to Eorzea to 'learn and grow' and stumbles into the limelight almost by accident during an Adventure Society mission in Outer La Nosaea.
Ryde is stoic and quiet for the most part, keeping her desires and wants to herself. Overtime she learns to open up, and becomes aware that she's incredibly naive to the way the world works. She can be jealous and greedy when she lets her baser instincts take over, and absolutely vicious in combat. Estinien is the one outlier, the who seems to be able to read her at all times and brings out something primal in her soul.
First Encounter With the Scions: Mid Titan fight, quite literally
Notable Relationships:
Ziero Gahjewesfv: Found family, more than a brother though she's not really sure 'what' they are, really
Alisiae: Found family, will protect with her life, kinda has a thing for her
Alphinaud: Found family, also will protect with her life, has less of a thing for him than his sister
Estinien Wyrmblood: It's... complicated. They're bound together in a way she can't explain, and he awakens something in her blood that roars for his presence.
Haurchefaunt Fortemps: She loved him, though tried to not get in the way of him and Ziero's relationship. Until he made the first move.
Notable Storybeats:
Meets Ziero and the Scions mid Titan fight
She encounters Estinien one evening on a walk in Corthes while they're dealing with the heretics (he pins her in the snow, all snarls and sharp edges, and all she can say is "by the twelve you're gorgeous")(yes that one scene from princess monoke)
She finds G'raha mildly annoying, but is amused with how enamored he is with both her and Ziero
Midgarsomrs' blocking access to her blessing actually wakes up her blood -more-
The Crystal Braves' betrayal comes at no surprise to her, and while she's furious with Alphinaud for his naivete, she also can't fault him for it (bc she's naive too)
She falls HARD for Haurchefaunt but keeps it to herself for moons
Traveling with Estinien is a whole experience for her
Nidhogg kidnaps her when he over takes Estinien and she essentially is his prisoner for most of the post HW story
Nidhogg - and by extension Estinien - lay claim to her and awaken her dragonblood
Estinien going AWOL does not help her as they go into Ala Mhigo and Doma
Being shunted through time and space ALSO DOES NOT HELP. Raha summoning her into the First breaks the soul bond between herself, Estinien and the reminants of Nidhog inside Estinien
In doing so, she ends up rejoining with her shard from the 13th, and goes reaper/monk
Her voidscent manifests as her dragon half
Her voidsent is a sassy little dragon
Primary Classes: MNK, RPR
Formerly:
Non IC Classes:
Currently IC: There's a lot of brooding going on and she is sticking close to Ziero as they try to bring their friends home. She was notably absent when Estinien did his check in
Currently in-game: ARR, lead into Titan

Other WoLs that are being played on an off:
Tumblr media
Kakaji Kaji - Shortstack
Smol popoto who stabs with a spear bigger than she is. Not sure where she fits in or if she's in a different AU yet. But she's got purple and white hair in a punky undercut
---
Retired, more or less:
Arym Neim'leif: Tbf she's just stuck at the lead into to Ultima Thule but I haven't had a muse for her in a year
W'eleneill Bernd: I have a complicated relationship with her and her FFXIV character, and she's happy to sit on her island retreat with her giant wolf. I haven't even done recent patch content with her, though will probably revive her briefly to go through the next expansion (as one does)

Send 💖 to see them in their favourite outfit(s)
Got asked this one a couple times, so I guess that's gonna be a couple outfits! For the first one we'll go with an umodded outfit that she wears really often in game! This is one of her bard glams.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Malika wears a lot of short skirts with thigh highs and these boots (the Antiquated Storyteller boots) are seriously my favorite. I put the rest of the outfit together based entirely on wanting to wear those boots because I love their red undersides! Thank you for the Ask!

What caused you to start writing? What was your key point? & Who was your first OC?
What caused you to start writing? What was your key point?
Take this with a grain of salt ‘cause I can’t remember for sure, but I think at some point I just kinda... Outgrew toys, but not playing itself. Toys just weren’t doing it for me anymore for whatever reason. Idk where I got Sims 1 and later on 2 from, but yeah I had those, so I kinda migrated to playing them instead of playing with my toys.
But, games come with limitations, and I didn’t like that. I read a hell of a lot when I was younger, so literature wasn’t unfamiliar to me.
I expect that eventually led to me doing away with all the middlemen when it came to creating stories. Begone physical objects I need to move around, begone restrictive games, it’s just me, my imagination and the keyboard and I can do WHATEVER I WANT.
Or pen and paper at times, even.
I’m pretty sure I stumbled upon rp by accident at around the same time and then it was like “omg I can do this thing with other people?”
And that is the road I have been on since!
Who was your first OC?
It was a fucking magical wolf on this weird semi-rp wolf site. I had an absolute wolf phase happen at that time due to finding that place.
In my defense I was an impressionable teenager only just finding out about this rp thing and rather excited over it.
She was kinda godmodded and stuff, but to her credit! She did live on for quite some time even if my time actively rping her was very short-lived. Got turned into this dragon OC along the way? I don’t think she originally really had any personality to speak of because actually creating characters was a skill I acquired slightly later on, but yeah she gained some over time and become a bit more fleshed out, even if I proceeded to never use her anywhere.
She doesn’t really exist anymore, because after the redesigns she’s had over the years she’s not really the same thing anymore. I still don’t use even her newer, redesigned version, ‘cause eh. I’m not particularly attached to her, as much as I also haven’t entirely abandoned her.
Just figure I should remember where I came from and how far I’ve come since those days, skills and everything else wise. She’s my reminder.

valerian has definitely tried to punch emet-selch at some point. i dont know when. i dont know if he succeeded. i just know he tried
#ellis probably held him back when he tried#maybe in one of the aus#hes fully aware hes the 'weakest' of the party#hes more in it because of his knowledge and good synergy with the others than because of his combat skills#hes a chemistry NERD ok. hes just a chemistry nerd with Guns.#which. yeah. he could just try to shoot him. but shooting isnt as fun as punching. tbh.#he probably also lost it a little at the 'remember us' bc he remembers too many people who died because of our dearly beloathed to care#ellis goes 'well he really did it just to bring back his people he just missed his loved ones' and their sister. valerian. & miles all just#gape at them.#theyre still young they didnt personally witness the atrocities val & tuya did. & miles. tho miles is more by proxy#ellis is also the canon wol in this specific version of the story (they share the role with ziero but ellis is azem)#so just generally their experience with the Bitch was different#my ocs#anyway valerian is usually pretty calm & collected hes just really protective over his loved ones & needed to blame SOMEONE#for his kid's defection. because god forbid he admits to himself that HE was part of the reason for luca to leave#valerian is funny bc hes such a fucking hypocrite#hell be like 'anything in the name of science' and then someone from his family gets hurt and suddenly hes blaming everyone but himself#up until hes like. literally grandpa age. hes wholly willing to destroy other families because ✨science✨. and then gets pissed#bc luca defected (OUT OF FEAR FOR HIM)#'feel bad for me my kid defected 😣' 'ur kid is twenty and you have driven families apart. you have murdered parents.' 'SO?'#he does end up growing as a person <3#mostly because he follows luca and has to become a better person to regain their truat#like hes sweet & a normal person & has friends & family & everything he just. also struggles to understand the worth of a life#a life that isnt important to him specifically#problematic fave. tbh.#ziero is almost a normal person next to him

Send 💀 to see them in something they wouldn’t be seen dead in. & Send ✨ to see them in something they aspire to wear or would like the chance to wear.
💀 to see them in something they wouldn’t be seen dead in.
Tumblr media
Adelena wouldn't be caught dead in something so stuffy and so many layers. It's way too many layers of cloth for the pirate. She much prefers something far more easy to move in and this is definitely not that.
Tumblr media
Nebula would love a chance to wear something as flowing yet protective. They don't currently only anything that isn't cloth or light to wear. Not that they try to get into combat since they actively avoid it. But this set is a very nice combination of light yet armored. Not to mention it's their level of pretty.
Thanks for the ask @the-ziero-experience

Thank you both for the compliment!
I wanted to put a different spin on what we would consider to be Necromancer's. I fell in deep love with the Priests of Rathma from Diablo since they aren't categorized as wholly evil or wholly good. I wanted Valerian to be a guardian of the balance, using his gifts to bring peace to the dead and ruin upon those who would tamper with the delicate scale.
I am really glad that you both appreciate me take on it and how I try to make it work in the context of FFXIV, I hope to continue to be a space where I can break the mold of what a Necromancer can be. in the context of fantasy.
