... Pun-alty flag?
Also, would Steel Wolf x Dogberry be "Wolfberry"?
RE: Your Character and Love - Edvyn - 12-23-2014
Edda wants the best of everything, she's kinda a perfectionist. To this end, she sees most people as not being worth the time and effort it takes to keep up a relationship with them. To get her to love you, you would first have to get her to not hate you - not an easy task. At this point in time, Edda has never professed nor felt romantic love for anyone. She might find people attractive, but that's about as far as it gets. No lasting emotional attachment.

Steel's love life is pretty much a central part of her character. Her husband died at Carteneau. She hates Garlemald and wants to wipe them off of Eorzea because of it, hasn't known another's touch after his death, and frankly has almost no idea what to do in a dating situation as a result.
The five+ years of time to grieve, however, have her trying, awkward as her stumblings might be. It's actually rather charming, in my view. Also a way for me to write out my own complete buffoonery at romantic thingies.
My title wasn't "Tsundere Tsupreme" before for no reason, after all. XD
I think a meeting of Steel Wolf and Dogberry would be interesting. Dogberry lost his fiancee in Carteneau and has only recently started to normalize. I'm not saying they should ship omg otp or anything, but if it came out that they both lost loved ones at Carteneau, I think it could probably lead to some pretty interesting bonding.
Dogberry's got a reputation as a bit of a player, and most of his relationships have been no-strings-attached for a while. In a way, he loves a lot of people, and feels that you can't truly love something and claim ownership of it. People are meant to be free, and you should love them that way. Nowadays, he's starting to get more invested in individual relationships. He's starting to feel that need to settle down. If he's going to fight primals, Garleans, and whatever else for a living, he needs at least one thing to be simple.
I agree, perhaps sometime we can have the two meet up sometime and see where the conversation flows.
*dashes off to update the shipping thread* <3
Steel will have to fight Menelwen. While Dogberry watches. Privately.
RE: Your Character and Love - Ririla Rila - 12-23-2014
Lili and love... gosh where do I get started o.o.. Â Well, Lili doesn't like to admit she even believes in love, I mean, she can't show a soft side considering the line of work she's in! That doesn't mean she won't pretend to keep up her persona around potential victims...
Deep down Lili does look for love, she looks for someone she can call hers, someone to care for her and perhaps cause mischief with.
She is quite worried though, that someone may take advantage of her feelings and either manipulate or hurt her, so it would take a lot to get under her skin and beyond that wall she holds up.
Who knows... Suppose she will just have to wait until the right fellow mischief-maker comes along~ Â It could be you!
RE: Your Character and Love - Roen - 12-23-2014
Roen believes in true love, that there is one person meant for another. It stems from the love she saw between her parents who raised her. She also witnessed the heartache that followed when her father lost her mother. She knows the pain and suffering that love can bring.
But she also believes that love can save another person. A bit idealistic and perhaps even foolish, but she holds on to that belief fiercely.
I suspect her current arc will test her faith in many ways.
RE: Your Character and Love - Kage - 12-23-2014
Kage believes in love.
For others.
He utterly believes that it's not for him and never will be.
RE: Your Character and Love - Hiro - 12-23-2014
Hiro's one of many amnesiacs wandering around the world
The loss of his memories and some obvious skill sets he retained leaves him questioning a lot of his past to a degree which leaves him hesitant to bonding with people in general. On the same level it's allowed him to work within the underworld effectively and made for solid and clear cut contracts and allegiances with individuals since he quite obviously favors no one and weighs on things equally. Recently though he's regained some memories and has had someone invade his personal bubble so well see where that ends up going.
Mav is a strange case, he flirts, enjoys the company of women (not even sexual, just company in general), and makes a big deal about relationships and people enjoying life. Most of everything he does is an act but he's honest about what he does just not necessarily why. Speaking of Carteneau... Being Highlander both him and his sister joined a militia force for Carteneau as volunteers, he survived and she didn't. It's part of why he doesn't really get intimate with anyone but doesn't enjoy being alone either. Prior to the battle he was the serious warrior, his personality shift years later is honoring her love of life and so forth but he's still coping. He'll make friends and care for people even if he doesn't outwardly want to, big guy, big heart or something, but as far as a romantic relationship goes that sort of bonding scares him.
RE: Your Character and Love - TheLastCandle - 12-23-2014
Yvelont is, historically, rather oblivious to the attention of others; he has never really actively pursued it, . But as of now, he believes he has found his one true love. (Aww.. mushy stuff.)
Kendha'to's feelings on the matter can be summed up thusly:

RE: Your Character and Love - Nebbs - 12-23-2014
Nebbs started trying to fit the Keeper mould, at least in her head if not with any success with dates and suitors.
As a child she made a wish for her true love to come and rescue her (the whole fairy tale and the rest). That is where she really stands on her romance.
So I give you this.

RE: Your Character and Love - PkThunda - 12-23-2014
Please forgive any embarrassing typos- I'm on mobile in a doctors office.
For Z'zhumii Umi, she's aromantic and asexual.
She does not feel romantic or sexual attraction, and being raised in a tribal society where your mate is chosen for you on their and the tribes terms never really enforced any ideals about tru wuv.
She is one hell of an actress in her work, happy to play pretend based off what she has seen and read in her time in Ul'dah, but its all for show.
She is also happy with platonic relationships... But those are rarely as profitable.
Odile, on the other hand, is a romantic at heart.
She may not be able to read, but she's heard a good many romantic stories and had two parents who cared deeply for one another.
Despite this, she doesn't feel like the gods or aether have someone predestined for one another.
If she can find some happiness with another or two, shell have lived out her own personal faerietale.
RE: Your Character and Love - Coatleque - 12-23-2014
Coatleque believes in true love much like Roen described. However in her life so far she has had half of her lovers be killed, and the current one dangerously close to the knife as well.
I think she's going to develop a reputation soon.
RE: Your Character and Love - Unnamed Mercenary - 12-23-2014
What kinda love we talkin' here?
If it's in the romantic sense, Franz was in love once, or rather still is, with his wife he doesn't much about. It's a little sad, little things others do remind him of her, and it'll get him down. But at the same time, he barely remembers her name and face, and can't recall anything else.
If we're thinking love in the sense of comradery, then I would say Franz loves and is loved by  a good amount of people. For the ones that earn his trust one way or another, he'll give that extra effort for. Granted, he overly trusts a lot of people.
--
I would say Franz is still trying to return to his love. He's not sure if she's still there, or if he'll find her, but he won't stop until he can at least confirm things.
And oh God, if she's "moved on", that could be a very interesting turn.
RE: Your Character and Love - Verad - 12-23-2014
There are two facets to this for Verad.
First, as Eorzea's Greatest Lover, he does not feel it would be fair of himself to tie himself only to one person. That's a squandering of talent, denying the world at large of his abilities. This is why so few of his relationships move past flirtation.
Second, and perhaps more significantly, he feels that on some level he doesn't deserve a committed relationship. He just doesn't know why.
RE: Your Character and Love - Zetchryn - 12-23-2014
A'zireena believes in love, though she goes about it all wrong. She lost her mother when Bahamut went on his killing spree, and her father is missing/dead through most of her life. She went from 'wanting to be a merchant' to 'wanting to be a warrior' out of a slightly misguided thing of wanting not to have others protect her. She seeks out love as a way to have some sort of family, someone she can rely on that can be a loophole of not protecting her, and she seeks it out.
The kicker is she's helpless before those that actually flirt with her, enjoying the attention far too much, and getting pulled in easily, despite what is sometimes in her best interest. She searches for romance too hard to not jump at anyone who flirts with her (er, that she enjoys).
