Player Name: Lynsey Contact: beastiiil @ plurk, merlyns @ discord Introduction: Hey! I already play here with my OC Odile (who I am going to do more with, I just got turbo bombarded with a bad time in May AND a heat wave). This character probably won’t happen this upcoming app round but I did want to start planning the AU now.
Character Name: “The Warrior of Light” (a.k.a. Yuzuruha Shikibu) Canon: Final Fantasy XIV
About: Known as Dreamer Of Light (yes the Of is part of the name) in the Dreamsphere, Yuzu is a woman in her mid/late 20’s who lost pretty much all her memories 5 years ago. Things she knows for sure is that she was orphaned at a very young age and that she was already a Dreamer before she lost her memory (though called by another name she can’t remember). She tends to be a woman of little words, but has a very strong wanderlust, love of adventure, and a desire to help people and do what’s right. After not having any idea where “home” even was or any records of WHO she was, she somehow ended up in Yumemigaoka and became a part of the Dreamer Union.
As for Yuzu’s life prior to losing her memories, I do have a lot in mind for that but it involves a big spoiler for Shadowbringers that subsequently spoils stuff that came after that expac too so I’m hesitant to bring it up on a plotting post without better spoiler tags. Though like… honestly just me saying that probably clues the people who know exactly into what I’m putting down, so I’ll just leave it at that for now. Either way I’m not TOO interested in fleshing that part out without the actual relevant canonmates being involved (and I don’t really want to replace those characters with other characters either just in case) - everything after the memory loss though is fair game.
I also had a thought about her being a ward under a BD version of the Fortemps after her memory loss bc I have a lot of feelings about the Fortemps family and in particular Haurchefant’s impact on the WoL in canon but I am hesitant to put any of that in stone on the very slim chance someone wants to app him (I am super not expecting canon mates but you really never know). The other ones I can be a lot more vague about but I worry that one would be a little too specific.
Short Term & Long Term Plans: No concrete plans but I do want to mentor some Dreamers. Otherwise though I go with the flow!
Desired CR/AU Castmates: Mentees and colleagues! Friends and found family are very important to Yuzu. I would love a group that’s similar to the Scions of the Seventh Dawn in canon (the WoL’s closest comrades who are basically family) though I don’t have anything super concrete in mind for wants there. I can also see her working all over the place at various odd jobs bc keeping in the spirit of the WoL being able to pick up a fuck ton of combat and crafting jobs, I characterize Yuzu as a jack of all trades who will give anything a shot, as well as highly valuing financial security bc of the orphan background I gave her.
I also have like… again, realistically no hopes of getting any FFXIV cast mates, but I would kill for any of the Scions or…… certain characters from her past life (again if you know you know) if just because I think there is some JUICY potential there. Again though, not getting my hopes up too high.
Anything Else?: I’m going to do my damndest to get “summon carbuncle” as one of Yuzu’s abilities even if her move set is going to be mostly dancer based bc just look at him. (Also I swear I will have better icons later the only caps I had on hand to use were from this recent patch msq don’t judge me too hard for the flower crowns)
