Backstory

"For those we have lost, for those we can yet save."

Warning!
This section is obviously spoilers! If you'd rather learn about Elre organically through IC interaction, turn back now!If you feel your character would know any of this information before meeting Elre, please discuss it with me first!------------Following the abandonment of Gelmorra, many Duskwights chose to remain underground and form smaller settlements with tight-knit communities. Born in one such community, Elre's family was no different, and as a result, she spent her first twelve years living in relative peace before disaster struck in the form of the Calamity. Massive cave-ins spelled ruin for her family and community alike. Feeling helpless and finding herself unable to help those who had not been crushed outright, Elre was forced to abandon her childhood home and flee to Gridania.Her remaining childhood years were spent in Gridania's orphanage, searching for a path to walk in life. Being within proximity of the Conjurer’s Guild, she would find herself watching their affairs from a distance and quickly fell in love with the profession. Making visits to the Guild, local library, borrowing whatever texts, and spending as much free time as she was allotted observing whatever rituals and rights the guild would allow her to, Elre would engross herself in self-study to gain admittance to the Guild proper. This was met with resistance however as the people of Gridania did not take too kindly to Duskwights, believing them all to be cutpurses or brigands.Despite the opposition, Elre would not be discouraged. She wanted a way to help people, and her passion would eventually get her noticed. Despite resistance from high-ranking guild members, she was allowed to be admitted by Guildmaster E-Sumi-Yan, noting her determination and honest desire to help people.Elre’s struggles did not end there, but she drowned out any negativity thrown her way with kindness and focused on honing her craft. Within a few years, she was considered a very competent and accomplished healer, having gained the respect and companionship of many Gridanians and her colleagues alike. Many more, however, still held their prejudice against her people and would not give her a chance.At the age of twenty and after hitting her growth spurt, Elre's life would change unexpectedly; the soul stone of a White Mage would reveal itself to her while out on a group training mission to the lost city of Amdapor. The fact that a non-Padjal -let alone an outsider- had been chosen by the Elementals to bear the stone would be a point of friction within the Guild, to put it lightly. Regardless, the will of the Elementals was absolute.A few years would pass since that day, and while Elre still works closely with the Conjurer's Guild, the Duskwight has taken up the life of an adventurer. Wandering the world helping anyone who will let her, all in the name of making the most out of the rare gift she had been given;A chance to help those in need.

RP Prompts / Story Hooks

"A choice can change the world."

Looking for an easy way to bump into Elre? Here are a few ideas to get you started:

--A small world: Why does that face seem familiar? Perhaps you lived in Gridania during/following the Calamity? Or visit the city frequently even today.--Duskwight, Duskright: It's no secret that Duskwights (Keepers of the Moon, and outsiders in general) are generally treated poorly in the Twelveswood. As a result they my be more inclined to pick each other out of a crowd.--Fame or Infamy?: Gridanians are wary of outsiders, especially those who would rock the boat or otherwise challenge tradition. As a result, people were divided when a Duskwight was chosen to become a White Mage, resulting in quite a bit of notoriety in the Twelveswood, be it good or bad.--For Those we can yet Save: Are you in dire need of a healer? Problems a chirurgeon can't fix? Something different altogether? Elre is more than willing to help in any way she can. Whispers of a travelling White mage could probably be heard from the Twelveswood all the way out to Ishgard.--A Light in the Darkness: It's somewhat well known that White Magic is potent at destroying Voidsent or otherwise purifying corruption. Do you have a Voidsent problem you need taken care of? A curse broken? Warding trinket made? Or perhaps you don't take too kindly to Elre's actions against the denizens of the 13th...--Friend or Foe?: Perhaps you've heard whispers of the travelling healer 'Lady White' and wish to seek her out, be it to ask questions, or perhaps disapprove of her methods. Are your intentions good or evil?--A Dish Best Served Cold: Although not widely known, Elre does keep some questionable company. Souls she believes are good people, at least deep down. In particular, she is good friends with and works under (to some degree) the sky pirate Captain Ilbette Rikniria (see character details page). Perhaps the Captain has wronged you in some capacity, and you want to make it personal...Have a different idea altogether? Contact me and let's talk about it!

Important Points:
-Elre is a character who is more than often willing to help with people's problems (to a fault) any way she can. That being said, I cannot completely solve your character's problems for you. Elre will offer solutions (magical, medicinal, referrals to others, etc.) but you're the one who has to decide if those solutions work or fail based on your character and the story you want to tell for them. Elre will not control your story, just try her best to contribute to it.-Related to the previous point, please speak to me about it first if you'd like Elre to either drive or play a major part in your plot.-Character development is welcomed & encouraged (be it yours or mine).-Taking liberties with the universe's lore is acceptable (within reason) with me, breaking it outright is not. Nobody knows everything about XIV's lore, but an attempt to adhere to the universe's rules should be made. Elre is a lore compliant character with light liberties and extrapolations taken as needed.-Dark/Mature themes are acceptable around Elre, if you're not sure about something, discuss it with me beforehand.-Elre is a relatively inexperienced adventurer and as such will make mistakes, sustain injuries, make bad judgment calls, and otherwise have slip-ups that would be considered "human".-Elre is played as a relatively 'grounded' character, and as such prefers to interact with other grounded characters. She can and has been involved with more 'extraordinary' characters and can adapt as needed.RP Formatting: Both Discord and In-Game RP are welcome, I generally write in a more descriptive paragraph format but will adapt to suit my partner(s) as needed.Contact Information:
