Ninian

Perhaps, if things had gone differently...

A FFXIV RP between @Ninian as Emet-Selch and @Amaterasu as the Warrior of Light, Lumina.

Perhaps, if things had gone differently...

@Amaterasu

The Rak'tika Greatwood. A beautiful forest housing those who want for shelter from the blinding light that plagued the first. Deep within the forest dwelled staunch defenders—those who would protect the interests of ancient Ronka. Those who trespass on this sacred ground were met with swift elimination.

All but one man.

Resting quietly under one of the forests large trees was none other than Emperor of Garlemald revealed Ascian. Arms behind his head, a small smile twisted his lips as he enjoyed his respite in the shade. However his nap was short-lived, as he heard a feminine voice call out.

"You. On your feet."

Bleary-eyed, the man began to pick yourself up, raising his arms up in the process, "Well, well, well...." Yawning compulsively, the man moved to cover his mouth when one of the women raised their weapon at him. Raising his arm up once more, he beamed, "If it isn’t the fabled Viis. The staunch defenders of Ronka! What an absolute honor it is to finally meet you! You know, they say that the Viis shoot first and—"

A lance made of ice fired dangerously close to the Ascian's head, plowing into the bark behind him. The one holding the threatening weapon was a youthful-looking Viis, shorter than most, with locks of red tied into a ponytail.

Spitting, the other woman spoke, pro-offering her spear to point it at his head, "Do men always drivel on like this, or is it just you?"

Smirking, the tired man retorted, "You'll be relieved to know that I am unique."

The purple-haired Viis was clearly agitated, throwing out her spear-less arm, "Enough! How were you able to sneak past our patrol? Outsiders are forbidden from entering or even gazing upon the ruins!"

Shrugging, the man finally put down his arms, "You aren't asking the right questions. Perhaps an introduction is in order?" Not waiting for a response, he continued, "I am Emet-Selch, and I believe you have met my acquaintances. The Allies of Ronka I believe you called them?"

Frowning, the red-head glared daggers into him, before offering her remark, "And why should I believe you?"

Looking almost offended, the man's eyes widened, "Why don't you ask them yourselves? They surely can attest to the credibility of my story."

Rolling her eyes, the purple-haired Viis put away her lance and gestured for him to follow, "Fine. Follow me, but if you try anything, it will be the last thing you do. Am I making myself clear?"

Sighing, he began to follow along, "Crystal."

Now within Fanow, the pair of Viis escorted Emet-Selch to his supposed companions. The entire way, the man couldn't help but look over his shoulder in worry, as the woman guided him in such a way that made him feel less than welcome. Finally within view of the Scions the man's eyes fell downcast.

"Oh, look who it is." The gunbreaker's gaze bore into the Ascian, disdain clear in his voice.

"Well... this is embarrassing. In my defense, they are surprisingly tenacious."

The purple-haired woman behind him seemed unamused, but the other appeared quite proud of herself.

"So—what trouble have you gotten yourselves into this time?"

@Amaterasu

Physical description (or picture) is good enough for me. Everything else we can learn as we go! I’m super excited for this so I’ll be sure to get something up by tonight, if not sooner if work slows XD

I’m really bad at pinging, so here you go >_>!

Any gender is fine! As far as romance goes, I really don’t think Emet cares, so whatever gender/character you want to play is fine with me. As far as fun personalities, anything would work, but sassy may be interesting!

I’ll definitely put up a starter as soon as I can! LaHEE here we come.

@Amaterasu

Nah don’t feel bad! All right, I think we have a plan! Where do you want to start? We can either do where they first meet, or LaHEE Forest a bit before he resurrects Y’shtola. I may or may not be able to post at work/lunch today, but I’ll definitely do it first thing when I get home.

I can make a starter if you want, up to you!

@Amaterasu

Oh man, I like all of these ideas. And no my friend chickened out and didn’t respond LOL! So that one’s still free. But yeah any of those sound amazing. Hell I’d even do all of them but that might be too ambitious. I did mean Allagan since he created that empire much as he did Garlemald. But I adore Amaurot, and that would be fun to explore too.

I’m also currently playing through Fire Emblem Three Houses so the school plot is something I can do too!

As for settings/plot I'm open to ideas. That said, if it's a FFXIV-setting plot, I can either do pre-death Emet-Selch, any timeline including Allagan if you'd like, or post-death with some soul shenanigans to revive him.

I can find vaguely "realistic" ways to put him in a crossover/different setting as well. If it's a setting I'm familiar with, I'm happy to come up with some sort of a plot, but if I'm not familiar you'll probably have to do a lot more hand-holding.

This is a starter I came up with to make my friend choke, so it's useable. Basically he didn't die, for some strange reason, instead returning whole to the lifestream. Could make it a plot-device of some sort, or some larger overarching plot. I kinda pulled it out of my ass so I didn't completely think the whole thing through. xD

Possible Starter

It was a strange feeling, flowing through the aether. However, it wasn't something wholly unfamiliar to him, but he did not expect to be conscious through it this time around. So many shattered souls twisted and churned around him, but he knew that he was still whole. Somehow. The final blow from the Warrior of Light should have been enough to fully shatter his existence, yet he was still there.

The question now was how would he get out. Normally, he had a large store of aether, but the fight had taken the last of his strength. It would regenerate, for sure, but he wasn't sure if he wanted to wait flux for as long as that might take. Time ran differently inside of the lifestream, and it would feel like an eternity, even if only five minutes passed on the Source.

Still, he had no choice, and he would have to wait...

Locating his body was a simple task. Thankfully, his grandson had made an abundance of clones. Why? That part he still hadn't figured out, but it was useful nonetheless. Bleary-eyed, he pushed open the glass hatch, and lifted his naked form from the container. "Hnn... did she really have to hit me that hard? I was fairly certain I was dead. For good, this time." Throwing out his arms, he exclaimed, "Things never are that easy, are they..."

Feet dripping wet with artificial amniotic fluid, he snapped his fingers, instantly drying and robing himself with his choice attire. It was so niceof his grandson to do this for him, all of these bodies. He almost forgave him for shooting him. Almost.

Newly clothed, a smirk played across his lips, as he thought to himself, I'm sure she'd be surprised to see me. After what she did to me... oh, but would she be overjoyed, or perhaps would she try to kill me again? I wonder... but perhaps that is what's so exciting...

I’ll work on a character sheet either tonight or sometime this week! :3
