Main class Red mage Emotional connection Sa'ran is able to gauge and interpret the feeling of others allowing her to bend certain outcomes in her favor. It could be used to befriend someone, gain information, or turn the tides in battle. Vast aetherpool Since red magic allows the wielder to use minimal amounts of their own aether, Sa'ran has a large reserve to either push her spellcasting far beyond normal limits or aid in mending wounds. Sharp senses Constant training has given Sa'ran the ability to read movements with such precision that she can identify small shifts in the body before her opponent strikes. It has been useful numerous times to dodge and counterattack swiftly, and saved her from a deadly blow.
Thus, The Story Began...
Everyone comes from all walks of life. Nothing is given. Sometimes you have to search for it or fight to survive.
A raided caravan laid on its side on a narrow dirt road in the outer borders of the Azim Steppe. Goods were ransacked, food was taken, and leftovers were left to rot in the sun. Shards of broken pottery and papers were scattered about. Nothing of value was left. One wheel slowly turned in the wind letting out an unsettling squeak. The horses broke from their harnesses to graze in the blood stained grass. The trader that was manning the caravan was sprawled out on the dirt, cold and grey, with his throat sliced open. Whoever committed this crime was nowhere to be seen. That was the downside of this place. One was vulnerable to the many Xaela tribes that roamed this land, unaware of what they could be capable of. Among the scattered goods that remained was a worn, tattered book that soon fell in the hands of a young Xaela woman with her face painted in red.Seven years passed since Sa'ran set foot on Eorzean soil, and in those seven years she experienced great endeavors from successful adventures to gaining friendships to the feeling of loss and total turmoil that tore her world asunder. A fierce fighter in her own right and a well-practiced Red Mage, Sa’ran has begun to feel as though she’s hit a wall. Much like Eorzea, she too stands now at the very precipice of change. Journeys far and wide will bring along new allies in addition to the possibilities of other secrets that might dwell within the tallest mountains to the deepest oceans. Sa'ran takes that first step once again to lead this newfound company forward from the ashes of the past.
Plotlines
Storytelling is the foundation of finding adventure, romance, tragedy, and wonder.
Magic and blade Along her travels, there haven't been many of those who practice with red magic, heard tales of the crimson duelists, nor even knows basic fencing! Large swords and axes seem to be favored among others and are far from wieldy to perform swift attacks with dexterity and grace. Even though Sa'ran does not follow the strict code the Crimson Duelists do, she does intend to teach those that have an interest in learning the art.Othardian family Whether it is back in the Azim Steppe, Eorzea, or another part of the world, Sa'ran will seek out other Xaela or Raen to interact with. Mainly to hear stories of their travels or themselves. If it leads to a partnership for trade or a budding friendship she would not say no.Potion seller There is an apothecary within La Noscea named 'The Burning Bottle'. Growing up, Sa'ran was intrigued with how plants can be used to make medicine, salves, and elixirs that she helped the shaman with their tasks. Even now she continues experimenting on how to elevate her medicines to something greater.Fight for fun, fame, and fortune Fighting is in her blood. Any opportunity to show off her skills, no matter if there was a promise of gil or not, Sa'ran would be seen exchanging blows with others who share the same adrenaline rush.I would walk 500 malms Sa'ran cannot keep still in the same place for very long. If anything catches her eye or she has heard of interesting news, she goes and searches for it. Delving in dungeons? Scouring through temples? A new place to explore? Adventure! Danger?! Yes!
Character Connections
People are like plants. You will encounter those that have thorns, are unflattering, or just plain awful. Then you find those rare ones that compliment you as a person. Hold on to them for as long as you can.
Character Name Jebai Dotharl
Relation "Jebai has been with me through thick and thin when I first arrived to Eorzea. Taught me everything he could so I don't go wandering the land blind. He can be quite brash and a brute, your typical Dotharl, but I admire his tenacity, his will, and his stubbornness to push people to their limits. I know he's not to everyone's liking, but he's trying his hardest after all he's been through. To me? He's my world."
Character Name Zeiro Tsagaan
Relation "Zeiro is the only bounty hunter that I want to be in the presence of. He's quite sharp and knows the right questions to ask when people are in a bind. Zeiro takes his work seriously and has shown me the commitment first hand as a Gunbreaker, however he's also quite laid back and very easy to get along with. He's someone I'd trust my life to."
Character Name Diarmune Rhet-khas
Relation "Diarmune is such a gentle soul, and quite handsome. I never knew Viera could be so good looking! He's a Sharlayan Gleaner with more work cut out for him than anyone here. He tends to be either in the coffee room or the greenhouse when his work lets him have a break, but never passes an opportunity to study new seedkin along our journeys. I have no idea how he can stay up all those late hours researching about horticulture. Might be the several cups of coffee he drinks a day...."
Character Name Tlalli Ka'an
Relation "I met Tlalli during a journey to Iq Br'aax and she cut quite an intimidating look guarding the gate to the village. During my interaction with her, it seemed that Tlalli has never met Xaela before and her demeanor turned into this warm, curious, and jovial tone. After hearing about her quest in search of a tural vidraal, I offered her assistance and an opportunity to see the world beyond Tural. Her optimism is very contagious."
Character Name U'Shen Tia
Relation "I've known Shen for quite a long time and one of the first friends I have ever made. I call him 'Dusty' because he was always covered in sand from the Thanalan desert. He's quite protective over those that he considers friends and now more so with his daughters. Shen has been there at my best days....and my worst days. Always lending an ear, a hug, and a wonderful meal to cheer me up."
Character Name Q'zentsa Asah
Relation "Zenny is a courier, but don't let her delicate pink looks and gentle demeanor deceive you. She's got quite an arm! I've seen her throw an inkwell so far that it actually blinded someone! Don't worry, he had it coming. She's not a fighter like the rest of us, but has opted to help us as our secretary and keep the books in order within the free company."
Character Name Pezyl Yuzyl
Relation "Oh, Pez? He's our resident wall goblin. No really. I met him when I heard scratching within the walls of the estate and he just popped out like a daisy. Ever since that day, he's been hanging around with us to get a second chance at life and smack talking Jebai whenever he can. Which is every day. I find it hilarious. Jeb? Does not."
