gandiva The holy bow - I met Big Sippin' at AX and promised him I'd draw his class soon, so here it is! The Gandiva is, to me, THE most iconic Bard AF weapon, let's be real.

The Sorceress - [ FFXIV ]

Hats off, for the Queen is here.

I should have done this ages ago, but I was struggling to find the best way to talk about my blorbos without writing a literal essay that becomes too long and too complicated to read.

I might change this format later on, but this will have to do for now (before Tumblr rage-quits on me):

YIUNO REINE.

Veena Viera; born Sigrid Rindr, from a very ancient clan rumored to live near the edge of Blindfrost. Has a twin sister called Yiuna (born Ingrid)

Appears 20; is actually immortal, and probably over thousands of summers old

Biologically male, he/they pronouns

When disguised as a female, goes by the alias “Yiune”, she/they pronouns

Demiromantic Asexual. Familiar with one-night stands, but considers sex as a means to an end, nothing more

Operates under multiple identities and aliases; treasure hunter by day, assassin by night

Black Mage; the last direct disciple of the late Shatotto, the greatest Mhach sorceress during the Fifth Astral Era

Registered as a Red Mage to hide his past connections, though his vast knowledge in ancient history and arcane arts are hardly a secret to his regular clientele (e.g. Y’shtola, Krile, Yayake)

On the rare occasions he’d help someone on a whim, they either end up as his disciples (Sora, Aisa, Ilya), or pledge their absolute loyalty to him (Syndrei, Arielle)

SORA AMARIYO.

Xaela Au Ra; her past is a mystery, but awakened as the Warrior of Darkness during the ARR timeline

Appears 18-20; old enough to drink, but do not let her anywhere near alcohol (unless you have a dying wish)

Female, she/they pronouns. Bi-curious, maybe

Archer-turned-Dancer, and never looked back

Initially considered Yiuno her guardian and mentor; later develops other feelings for him (and his female alter ego)

Will add more notes and other muses when Tumblr stops trying to kick me off the internet with the weird lagging.
