RP style(s)(such as M, E, Paragraph, etc): Generally any, though ERP I only wish to do when it's meaningful to the development of plot/relationship between characters. I'm happy with Paragraph RP but I do prefer to mix in smaller posts when I feel it's unnecessary to type a 5-sentence response to another's emote(Like answering a question, furthering dialogue, etc.)

Race: Mixed Hyur (Highlander father, Midlander mother.)

Gender: Female

Interest(s): Chocobos, travelling, (trying to) learn new things.

Hobby(ies): Tending her chocobo, reading, amateur goldsmithing, amateur poetry, etc.

Profession(s): Courier/Delivery girl, amateur goldsmith and failed adventurer.

Personality: Friendly to a fault. She's always keen on being supportive and meeting new folks, but has a streak of pacifism which can leave her trouble when a fight is inevitable. Though outgoing, she's easily flustered and quick to minimize her own accomplishments.

Goal(s): Admiah's main goal is to be a real benefit to the realm, much like her father was as a member of the Maelstrom. She still struggles to come close, and has tried and failed to pick up the lance and mark herself as an adventurer. Despite this, she's sure she'll one day muster up the courage to save lives - even if it means taking others. More deep in her psyche is her wish to belong somewhere, surrounded by people who need her as much as she needs them.

Background/Story: Admiah was born and raised on Vylbrand to doting parents and a brash but loving elder sister. For years her life was little else than that of a farm girl, helping her mother with their small parcel of land while her father attended to his duties as a member of the Yellowjackets. As the shadow of war loomed ever darker and the Calamity drew close, her father joined the Maelstrom to fight the Garlean threat. 

As fire rained from the sky, Admiah and her sister lost almost everything. Their father perished on Carteneau and their mother died in the blazing inferno that became of the house that she was raised in. Left with nothing but eachother and Admiah's chocobo, Binky, they had to pick up the pieces of their lives. As the years passed Admiah took up the job of courier, riding fast and hard all over the island, mostly to help deliver tools and supplies desperately needed in the rebuilding. 

Barely more than a summer ago, Admiah set foot off Vylbrand for the first time. She travelled through Thanalan and into the Black Shroud, where she wound up meeting a plethora of new people and finding herself in situations she'd never imagined before. (Saving the rest for IC interaction!)

Personal question: I'm absolutely thrilled with the idea of Admiah being a retainer! It suits her skills well, and she would push herself to fulfill the requirements of the job that Valic would set for her. Through this new job she'd undoubtedly further her own goals by building her knowledge and confidence, and perhaps she'd even pick up on some of Valic's magic if he were willing to teach her. (I've been thinking hard about making her a RDM-in-training after Stormblood's launch, which I've desperately been seeking someone to be a mentor type for her in that regard. Valic seems beyond perfect for that, so I'm sincerely hoping she'll get the job!)

Sheldeaux Fontaine

RP style(s): Generally my posts are medium-length, giving more or less description as the situation demands.  I like seeing personalities play off each other, characters develop through IC experience, and IC blunders that make the player facepalm.  I don't like explicit gore (seems non-applicable here, but may as well state my tastes).

Race: Elezen
Gender: Male
Interest(s): Studying aether, making good honest gil, making sense of oddities
Hobby(ies): Hiking, whittling, dancing
Profession(s): Conjurer/Botanist.  Aspiring Arcanist.

Personality: Sheldeaux is polite to a degree that borders on servility.  He also has a burning curiosity that can put those precious good manners in jeopardy.  While he's been a Conjurer for a couple of years now, Sheldeaux doesn't believe himself to be especially smart, and accredits his successes to simple hard work and persistence.

Goal(s): Learn arcanima.  Earn a decent income.  Do good deeds.  Not die.

Background/Story: Born in Gridania, Sheldeaux knows that the best way to succeed in the world is to understand how it works.  Trouble is, for all that he's learned of nature thusfar, there are greater mysteries that his fellow Forestborn are unable or unwilling to teach.  In particular, Sheldeaux wants to know how to channel aether more efficiently, and from what little he's heard of arcane geometry, it seems to be a promising field of inquiry.  Unfortunately that requires venturing beyond the Black Shroud, into a world as of yet beyond Sheldeaux's understanding.  Also he'll need to be sending gil back home - rumor has it his youngest sister is in poor health.

Personal question: I actually took interest in this post for a few reasons.

• Sheldeaux needs a contact affiliated with Limsa Lominsa.  That place is just too wild for him to show up without knowing anyone.
  
• Being wimpy and unworldly, he can't take on a heroic-type job.
  
• Knowing more experienced magely types is always a plus.
  
• I've done assistant RP in other games and I enjoy it.
  

Suffice to say romance is not on the table here.  It's great and all, but a chance to foster an ongoing IC relationship with zero sexual tension sounds rather nice to me.  As for the "finding RP contacts" part of the job, I'm new to the game and would have to start from scratch there.

GO FOR IT!

My character will be a Red Mage (once we have the lore, I can finalize his background), and my intent was to go around teaching people the art of Red Magic and the associated swordsmanship.

Either way, best of luck to you!

https://wiki.ffxiv-roleplayers.com/pages/Tsuki_Amaranth   [Bit outdated but may be helpful.]
 
RP style(s)(such as M, E, Paragraph, etc): Sort of para, with short answers thrown in when relevant, but I tend tomatch whoever I'm RPing with the best I can. I'll do all RP but not ERP. 
Race: Seeker, Miqo'te
Gender: Female


Hobby(ies): Lately? Fighting. She has won two tournaments recently, though has limited knowledge of any other specialization than Conjury. Flinging rocks and using earth-aspected aether is her specialty but she has seen thaumaturgy andother magick specializations and wishes to learn more but is reluctant to go through the years of training that would be required. She is a little impatient.
She also can drink a little too much, enjoying rum.


Profession(s): She was a weaver, though gave it up after a tragic past, and is now a conjurer. Mostly.

Personality: Tsuki has a kind heart, to the core. However, she is quick to anger, easily wound-up, and is currently going through a period of confusion, not knowing what side of morality she should/wants to land on, having had some 'questionable' friends recently. She is very passionate, and will struggle to follow orders unless she deems the instructor strong/intelligent enough/worthy. She makes alot of mistakes due to acting without thinking sometimes.

Goal(s): She wants to be a strong sword fighter, but is clumsy, physically weak etc. Her strengths lay with aether usage.

Background/Story: I don't like to give too much away. But she's from the T Tribe originally, however adopted at a young age by parents who descended from the East and gave her name, Tsuki. (Her real name, though, she will never tell anyone this unless she trusts them with her life.) she was a very successful weaver through her late-teens, however things happened, and she swore to become a healer so no-one would ever die in her arms again. However, lately, she feels a life dedicated to soley healing isn't her full potential, and she has grown restless.
 
Personal question: 
After a serious of reckless actions which wound upgetting Tsuki and her friends injured, Tsuki wishes to become better at following orders and instructions, as well as learning more about various schools of magic and perhaps even sword-combat, from someone such as Valic, however, she may be difficult to work with, if approached the wrong way. She can be temperamental and unreasonable, depending on the circumstance. But she can be wise and intelligent when she wants to be.

She enjoys serving and being helpful, deep down,and learning new things, so being a retainer would be beneficial to her. Give her a sense of purpose which she currently lacks.

RP styles: Pretty much open to anything.
Race: Doman Hyur
Gender: Female
Interests: Education of martial and intellectual skills, traveling, cute things.
Hobbies: Traveling when able.
Profession: Freelancer
Personality: Lively but strong.
Goal: Wanting to learn to use magic arts in the near future.
Background: A Doman immigrant who ended up in Eorzea.  Still very young and looking for her place in the world. 
Personal Question: Though this is not the sort of person to usually enjoy being in service for someone, she is needing work and is looking for someone knowledgeable in magic studies.  She hopes to build a strong enough relationship over time so that she may learn herself and possibly become an apprentice.  She also has personal ties to Doma and would benefit from a means to return there.
