My main OC who honestly doesn’t have a lot of solid lore LOL. Gonna be honest I like her fluidity of aesthetics and personalities so rn its very abstract (this picture will forever be outdated cuz I change a lot and I'm lazy). Here's what I do know: She is the canon WoL and the central link to the rest of the group. Originally from New World, she came to Limsa to strike out on her own and have new experiences. Xyr never wanted to be a hero, but she took up the position, albeit with hesitation. Nowadays she grumbles in private about the tasks people have her do, yet outwardly she appears sweet. She has a bit of a bad mouth and has let the attention get to her head— but she means well! For deep down Xyr recognizes she wouldn’t be in the position she is if it weren’t for the Eorzeans who welcomed her with open arms. She enjoys drinking, meeting new people and living in the moment; she actively runs from the past and doesn't heal her wounds in a productive way.

Kausoix Kephaux

race: wildwood elezen
gender: male (he/him)
age: 29
nameday: 10th sun of the 3rd umbral moon (6/9)
guardian: menphina
main job: black mage
main ship: wol/estinien + wol/carvallain + anyone with gil
location: crystal coeurl
signature glam pieces: tamamo headband + bridesmaid tights

Originally from Gridania, Kau fled the city state when he was 15 due to differences in world views of his "family". He never felt at home in the forest; he was excluded by other Gridanians for being an asshole (lol) and not respecting the environment/elementals. So knowing his family could care less if he vanished, he simply grew tired of feigning interest. Wanting financial security and power, eventually he found his way to Ul’dah, a sleazy city state with a promise of wealth. It was there Kausoix decided to become a prostitute for quick easy cash, and took up the art of black magic. Currently he works as a hired escort/mercenary, and while he hasn't wanted for food in years, he's building a stockpile of gil to open up his own venue to ensure he will never go hungry again. Personality wise Kau is a straight up asshole and will only act nice if you specify when he’s being paid. Otherwise? He doesn’t give a rat’s ass what you think of him, and he doesn’t care about you. He barely cares about the group he is forced to be around (because Xyr won’t leave him alone lol). He enjoys swindling money and improving his acting skills to better serve his clients and get a bigger paycheck.

Bellami Allard/Warn

race: duskwight elezen
gender: demigirl (she/they)
age: 31
nameday: 28th Sun of the 4th umbral moon (8/28)
guardian: halone
main job: machinist
main ship: wol/haurchefant + bella/xyrei
location: fantasia only
signature glam pieces: yorha type 51 robe of casting + gnath throax

Ishgard born and raised, Bella was once the daughter of a noble family. When she was 12 she snuck out of a formal event and chanced to meet a young Haurchefant (and Francel), and befriended them immediately. Bella quickly fell for the knight to be, and met with him secretly until early adulthood, when she was married off to another noble family's son for martial connections. She continued to meet with Haurchefant and became enamored with the stories he would tell of Xyrei. After the events of the vault, losing her lover and being stuck in a loveless marriage, Bella decided to become a machinist with the help of Stephanivien. She devoted herself to her training because she had nothing else bringing her joy, and she became quite the marksman. But soon after Bella faked her own death and fled Ishgard entirely due to the Skysteel Manufactory's purpose being called into question (her presence as a noble jeopardized the machinist guild’s basis of empowering commoners, and she wished to flee from her husband without severing trade deals.) She made it to Gridania where she decided to become a silent bounty hunter named Warn. Roaming the lands, they are now a voiceless voice for the people. Sometime afterwards Warn met Xyrei by chance and was delighted to meet their hero, but saw the pain behind her eyes, and became persistent in helping the Miqo'te to heal her trauma (much to the dismay of the latter).

Moryni Ikuni

race: xaela au'ra
gender: female (she/her)
age: 22
nameday: 12th sun of the 5th astral moon (9/11)
guardian: nophica
main job: white mage
main ship: none
location: aether cactuar
signature glam pieces: high house bustle + classic spectacles

Moryni is a trans female Au'ra. She was ostracized from the Buduga clan due to her inability to wield any notable weapons or magicks, her distaste for the clans' underhanded way of living, and above all the fact that she knew she was not a man from a young age. Moryni retreated into herself and fled from the Steppe at 20, eventually making it to Gridania where she learned the art of conjury from E-Sumi-Yan. She is a selective mute and seldom talks. She most often uses gestures and gazes to communicate (she does not know sign language). She was taken under Xyrei's wing due to them joining the guild at a similar time.

Y'khotra Yssihk

race: seeker of the sun miqo'te
gender: male (he/him)
age: 24
nameday: 2nd sun of the 2nd umbral moon (4/2)
guardian: llymlaen
main job: dragoon
main ship: none
location: primal lamia
signature glam pieces: elegant rimless glasses + hooded fireglass leather vest

Xyrei's (forcibly adopted) brother. Wishing to be the nunh of the Y clan for entirely raunchy reasons, Y'khotra challenged the current nunh many times, failing every attempt. Getting fed up with his luck, he decided to abandon the tribe and roam the lands in early adolescence, aiming to either become strong enough to defeat the current nunh, or start a tribe of his own - whichever came first. Of course, he is rather pathetic, and no woman ever wants to be around him for more than 5 seconds (If you know AITSF, think Kaname Date but unfuckable). The two Miqo’tes first met when he tried to hit on Xyr, and she laughed in his face. Now they have forged a sibling-like bond by teasing one another frequently yet having each other’s backs when needed.

Synnoda Djt-Chiron

race: rava viera
gender: male (he/him)
age: 28
nameday: 3rd sun of the 1st astral moon (01/03)
guardian: thaliak
main job: white mage
main ship: syn/kausoix
location: fantasia only
signature glam pieces: gryphonskin eyepatch + replica sky pirate vest of aiming

Not much is known about this peculiar Viera. He first appeared on Kausoix's radar as a client of his, and was introduced to the group through him. He is a healer with a quiet yet strong demeanor who commands whatever adventurer's he may be partnered with. Syn makes it known through a simple stare that he is in charge of who lives, and who dies at any given time.

Moira

race: highlander hyur
gender: female (she/her)
age: 38
nameday: 26th sun of the 2nd umbral moon (04/25)
guardian: nymeia
main job: scholar
main ship: azem/hades + azem/venat
location: fantasia only
signature glam pieces: reading glasses + sophist's robe

Pronounced "Mira", the ancient greek word meaning "fate", Moira is the original ancient who held the 14th seat of the convocation. As Azem she was a rather serious stickler for the rules, who often butted heads with Hades. She chose to travel Etheryis at the behest of Venat to better learn empathy and to gain ever greater knowledge, the kind which could not be taught with her nose buried in a tome.
