Hobie's Den of Fools
Hobie OOC FFXIV RP Landing Page
A cavalcade of fools played by an aspiring himbo
OOC Info
Hello! I am Hobie, I prefer this name over any of my character's names (it is my actual name anyway LOL). I am 27 years old, he/they pronouns, and I am going to school for Business and I have an AD in Environmental Studies. I am a leftist, socialist, pansexual bastard who lives on a farm and I try my best to be a positive force for people.
No RP partners under 18, 20+ preferred. I respect all folks but I am just uncomfy rping with anyone younger, especially with the themes around some of my characters. I am open to pretty much all forms of rp, but I especially love action, romance, and adventure.
Open to ERP, dark themes, etc. but consent is obviously a crucial element to this, and I tend to like RPing a little with people first to get a sense for if our styles jive well.
Obligatory Statement - IC and OOC are different, my willingness to engage in RP of any nature does not coincide with relationships towards others. I do not presume the actions of others' characters are a reflection of them as a person, nor should you believe this of me and my characters.
I am a lore-bendy but largely abiding RPer. I love creative ideas and ways people bend the lore to make things work, and am situationally okay with such characters. YoshiP said we should go all out and have a blast with character backstories, so I agree!
Finally, no powerplaying (controlling my characters for me in your action), metagaming (knowing information about my characters beyond what I say is knowable/have told you ICly), etc. The usual boundaries for any sensible RPer.

Centuries later, on the Source, it was the voidsent researcher Honi'sae who unwittingly came into contact with it. Attaching itself to Honey's aether, overtime it replicated, replacing every atom of Honi'sae's being with itself, until Honi'sae was replaced with an identically dense voidsent.

These children are tempered in a unique way, blessing them with a great amount of levin within their bodies. It was for this reason that when Garlemald discovered their isle, the Chosen were rounded up and separated into camps. Trained into specialized hit squads, fitted with bomb collars, Zaven and the rest of the Chosen were sent on increasingly suicidal missions. It was only when the Empire fell that Zaven was discovered by the Grand Company of Eorzea and was freed.

It was 26 years after Samuel's birth that they developed a complication. Rhuna became sick, and Gideon nearly worked himself to death trying to concoct a cure, and yet he could not. He became obsessed, and yet there was naught he could do to save his beloved's life. Following her passing, he dove into his studies, dismissing all but his work as he hid his feelings deep within. Recent events have stirred his healing process, but it remains to be seen if he will ever recover from a broken heart.

She learned to talk to the spirits of the woods instead, and it was here she met the padjal. They took her in as a conjurer, teaching her the ways of the elements. It was a good life, and she met her husband Valern Tredont, an Adder in Gridania. One night, however, while he accompanied her to the outskirts of the forest, a darkness settled over them. A group of voidsent tore through the undergrowth, and in an instant Valern was heavily wounded, and Salem near death. The rest of the adders and conjurers they were with, including Salem's close friend, were lost. The next few years were tough on the couple, as Salem became obsessed, not with her conjury, but with becoming and training to be a voidsent hunter. It has consumed her life, and lost her her marriage in the process... but in her mind the darkness must be destroyed wherever it creeps...

Feeling aimless and a need to atone, Vakama ended up as a burnout in Eorzea, chilling, drinking, and just going wherever the good vibes flow.

The answers elude most attempts, but what is known is that Ava has, since her mysterious younger days to now, become a fierce and ruthless predator. She will often use her wiles to entice people in for a bite, and often has to be reigned in by others of her coven from taking things too far.

The sight of a defected Garlean was not a welcome one, and she had to hide who she was for a long time, until she was discovered in Coerthas on a caravan mission. Taken by the Temple Knights she was locked in prison and left to rot, in here she continued her training alone, and swore to bring about a new respect for Garleans who didn't adhere to the distasteful practices of her homeland's military.

His true nature is a mystery, but to most he is simply an enigmatic and bizarre Duskwight who talks in circles and riddles. He is a strange being who seems to have knowledge of the fae, and some even speculate may be one himself... but that is crazy. He's just weird ol' Pascal after all. His mother, Mirabelle, is an elegant faun and some type of fae creature. It would stand to reason, then, that Pascal is one as well... but good luck getting him to say anything like that.

She lifted aurochs, Garlean automobiles, etc. in her act and wrestled beastkin of immense size with her bare hands. Over time she grew weary of the circus life, and a freak accident that involved her brother being blinded by a quack doctor caused her to decide to retire alongside Rhapsody. The two of them now work out of whatever bar he works at currently, striving to save up to buy their own.

People he once knew and who once knew him now looked upon him with a haze, as if they had met before but they couldn't quite place it. He himself had a hard time reconciling with the idea that he was, in fact, one of the missing Warriors of Light. Was it truly him? Was he hallucinating? It was hard for him to discover just how different the world is, and if he still had a part in it. Luckily he ran into a fellow Warrior of Light, Vegah, and hopes to stand beside her against whatever threats are coming as the XIVth legion bears down on Eorzea.
