IMPORTANT NOTES. IC =/= OOC. I am not my character and my character is not me. If you cannot discern fictional RP from reality, then walk on.If an issue arises, please communicate it to me ASAP. I can't try to fix something if I'm not made aware of it. Also make sure to let me know if you need a break, if something's not clicking or if there's something you wish to explore.I do best in one-on-one and small group RP. Large gatherings tend to overwhelm me and I end up not writing at my best...or at all. In crowded settings, I prefer to interact with those I'm directly RPing with in party chat or tells whenever possible. During art parties and other mostly-OOC events, I'll usually be OOC myself. But if you wish to RP, then please feel free to shoot me a tell and let me know!I am an avid GPoser and love taking shots of scenes with RP partners (SFW only), so if you don't mind, I'll definitely be doing so (I have Lightless, but am more than willing to accommodate vanilla characters as well)!

Hyperia can be reserved, even seeming cold and aloof at first until she knows a person can be trusted. In most social settings, she tends to remain silent and merely listen unless she feels she has something meaningful to contribute. However, once that reserve has dropped, she has no problem with speaking her mind, even to the point of bluntness.She is fiercely loyal to those she cares for, but has no tolerance for dishonesty or hypocrisy.Her nature as a half-Garlean has caused her to fight for respect within the Empire her entire life, so she despises weakness in both herself and others. She does not handle failure well and tends to dwell on mistakes.She has a deep, abiding love of technology, both ancient and modern, and anyone able to discuss it with her in an intelligent manner will find her opening up to them a bit more readily.She possesses a highly analytical mind and tends to have issues with processing strong emotional responses, both in herself and others. She has a very difficult time navigating interpersonal relationships and can become easily frustrated when people do not behave in what she feels is a logical fashion.

• OOC INFO.

Vita Imperatoria: Hyperia was born and raised in Garlemald, and the Quinntus family was fairly prominent in the social circles of the capital city, as well as bearing no small amount of infamy for her father's devotion to his non-Garlean wife and half-Garlean daughter. Did your Garlean character perhaps know them, or hear about them?Military Service: Hyperia served in the Imperial army for over a decade, her posts ranging from Castrum Novum (a.k.a Castrum Centri) in Mor Dhona, to Carteneau, to Ala Mhigo, and finally to Castrum Meridianum in Thanalan. Imperial officers and conscripts alike may have known her or even served under her.Architectus: Hyperia attended the Magitek Academy in Garlemald, graduating at the top of her class. Her service to the Imperial army only served to hone those skills even further. Do you need someone skilled in magitek engineering? She's your gal.Allagan Scholarr: Hyperia holds a strong fascination with Allagan technology, so she may be found exploring their ruins and/or studying their history. Need someone who can tell you all about that tomestone you found or the history of an ancient ruin? She could probably help.Undercover in Ala Mhigo: During her time in Ala Mhigo with the XIVth Legion, she was often used as a covert operative. Due to her Highlander appearance, she could easily blend in with the natives and acquire vital information without being suspected. Ala Mhigan natives might think that they've seen her somewhere before during the occupation, but can't quite place it.

Weapons Projects: As one of the former lead engineers on the Ultima Weapon project, as well as her associations with the creator of the Amethyst Weapon, she is intimately familiar with the design and inner workings of Garlean Superweapons. Need information on them? She could probably tell you. (But will she?)Brass Blades: After fleeing the destruction of the Praetorium, Hyperia eventually joined up with the Brass Blades. She was known for her ruthlessness and lack of scruples. No matter the job, she'd take it. Was your character also in the Brass Blades...or maybe one of their victims?Wanted: Hyperia has a sizeable bounty on her head by the Garlean Empire, to be returned alive to answer for crimes of sabotage, desertion, and conspiracy. As one of the engineers on the Ultima Weapon Project, she is also wanted by the Eorzean Alliance.
Due to the current state of Garlemald, her ongoing efforts alongside the Ala Mhigan contingent to aid in its restoration, and her cooperation with Alliance forces, all bounties have been rescinded. However, she could still be potentially recognized from when they were still active. Or perhaps an individual or group might have their own bounty out for her?Blackstone Industries: When Hyperia made her home in Ala Mhigo, she began working with her uncle to expand their workshops for Magitek and Aetherotech. She currently serves as the Assistant Director of the company and stands to inherit it and her family's vast fortunes should her uncle pass away.

[ * ] Amasandji "Sanji" Kamakura (Oronir).

Born and raised in the warrior culture of the Oronir tribe, Sanji always felt out-of-place. When he wasn't enjoying cooking lessons with Esugan, his mind wandered to what lay beyond the horizon. Upon reaching adulthood, he began a "pilgrimage" across the Steppe, where he was 'adopted' by a reclusive hermit who taught him how to tap into his elemental abilities. He then travelled to Doma, joining the Doman resistance for a time before spending time in Kugane then crossing the sea to Eorzea where he first met Hyperia by joining the Free Company she was involved with.
They started as strangers, then became friends after he saved her life after a brutal attack. However, his friendship caused tension with her fiancé at the time and not long after, the couple split.
Feeling guilty over his role (though small as it was) in the breakup, he offered to accompany her when she fled to Ala Mhigo to work for her uncle. She agreed and, over time, their friendship blossomed into more. Though they are opposites in so many ways and their relationship saw many trials, he remained steadfastly devoted to her and eventually the two were married.
Since then, they've traveled to other realms, aided in the restoration of Garlemald and Ala Mhigo, and reunited with old friends, all the while loving and supporting each other through thick and thin.

[ * ] Khalja kir Hirawa.

Friends to lovers to enemies to friends...Hyperia's relationship with Khalja has been...tumultuous, to say the very least. They first met through the Free Company they both belonged to, an almost-instant bond forming through their shared love of technology and mutual history with the Garlean Empire. Between this and the Xaela's gruff, yet charming demeanor, Hyperia found herself falling for the man. Despite her reluctance to open her heart to anyone, she ended up doing just that, and mere months later they were engaged.
However, wedded bliss was not in their cards, for after a close call with death, the pair found themselves constantly at odds. And once Sanji entered the picture as a friend who she could confide all of her issues with him in, the relationship eventually fell completely apart.
After spending time away and further developing her relationship with Sanji, it seemed she might have gotten over the man, but her constant self-loathing over her "failure" in the relationship continued to haunt her and after several failed attempts to rekindle it, they finally cut off all contact with one another. For a time, at least...
Years later, after they were both able to find contentment and security in their own marriages, they ran into each other at the upscale tavern in Ala Mhigo where it had all ended before. After much heartfelt discussion, they have rekindled their old familiar bonds, though as a close friendship they are both comfortable with, collaborating on projects together, both personal and professional.

[ * ] Khaishan Oshidari.

This quiet, brooding Raen speaks little of himself and even less of his past. What is known is that he was a key player in the Doman resistance (often dubbed "The Red Demon of Doma") and a former lover of Sanji. He and Hyperia first met after she and Sanji returned to Kugane to establish a home there together. Despite Khaishan's initial surprise to see Sanji with someone new...and a former member of the Garlean military at that, he gradually accepted her as a friend.
Now, he eagerly accompanies the pair on their many adventures, serving as the muscle and the shield for the group.

[ * ] Jaya Oronir.

The youngest of Sanji's siblings, Jaya grew up with the expectation that she would be the warrior Sanji never was. Surprisingly, she fell into the role easily, but solely for the purpose of shielding her brother from the torments of the the rest of her family. After Sanji chose to leave the Steppe behind, Jaya followed in his footsteps a few years later, making her way to Kugane where she joined up with Khaishan in his fight to reclaim Doma. Eventually they were both reunited with Sanji and met up with Hyperia.
The spunky young Xaela brings a sense of uninhibited fun to the group and is more than willing to drag them out on bar crawls, shopping trips, or whatever she's in the mood for as often as possible. She also has no qualms about grabbing any of the males of the group by the scruff and pounding some sense into them, when needed.

[ * ] Viraj Acharya.

Alchemist, envoy, nobleman...Viraj was sent to Eorzea shortly after the events of the Final Days as an emissary from The Great Work of Thavnair to exchange alchemical knowledge, as well as learn more about the culture. The adopted son of a wealthy Raen family, he is both a talented alchemist as well as something of a playboy. Between his visits to the local Alchemists' Guilds, he enjoys participating in the "cultural exchange" found in Eorzea's more upscale venues.
As part of his collaboration with Eorzea, he was sent with the Ilsabard Contingent to Garlemald, where he first met Hyperia and the rest of the crew. He became intrigued at the possibilities of mixing alchemy and technology and currently works with the group as their resident potion (and poison) brewer, while expanding his knowledge of magitek at Hyperia's side.

[ * ] Stalya (bas) Lentyasch.

Born amidst the slums of Bojza, Stalya's early life consisted mainly of avoiding her alcoholic father and scavenging what she could trade to keep food on their table. This worked for a time, until her father's debts caught up with him and he sold his only daughter into the service of the Garlean Empire. Proving a quick study with repairing magitek, she managed to find an unexpected home in their ranks. Eventually, she was sent to the XIVth in Ala Mhigo where she discovered a talent in bartending during her off hours. Serving in a tavern catering to the occupying Imperials and the more adventurous loyalists, she met Hyperia and they became fast friends.
After the liberation of Ala Mhigo, she remained to aid in the rebuilding process, then later reunited with Hyperia in Garlemald, aiding the restoration efforts and providing strong drink to keep the Ilsabard Contingent warm in the frigid region.
