Description
I'm taking a little break from commissions and gifts (I'm working on 3 pics at the same time xD) so here are some concept sketches of my new OCs for Final Fantasy XIV!They're not done yet, I think I'll make them real sheets, as soon as I have all their story stuff ect. together. For now the "stories" are very rough >_< But I'll wright it down here in small bios, tell me what you think
Okay, ladies first~
Name: Manah Bastia
Age: 15
Gender: female
Race: Hyur (Midlander)
Class Arcanist (later maybe Scholar)
Occupation: not yet decided
Traits: shy, calm, clever, determined, tidy
[Here's the map of the world, in case you don't know it but still want to know the locations~ i.imgur.com/6Q7Lv.jpg ]
As I said their stories aren't fixed and toooooo detailed, because I need to gather more information. FFXIV is so complex and I don't want to mess around TOOO much with the canon stuff xD
So for Mana I thought she could be a 'Student of Baldesion', living on the Isle of Val and... you know... studying stuff xDD Unfotunately there isn't much information about this and Sharlayan. That's why this idea is so foggy. During the main story of FFXIV the island was destroyes by a powerful magic similar to Ultima. I can remember that Minfillia's friend survived so not everybody on this island died xD That's a good reason for Manah to travel. Since her 'home' is gone, she has to find a new place.
An old idea was, that she is the only daughter of a noble house, kept locked away, no friends blabla and then one day she escapes from that and travels xD But naaaaaah. That's crap.
But I had the idea, that she finds a special and old grimoire (maybe her grandfathers or something), but since he's dead, she can't ask him anymore. Maybe she could find some information about it in Val (I mean, it's the "city of scholarship" after all and they probably have information about EVERYTHING xD) but since the island sunk, she can't anymore. (So I think she found the grimoire right before the accident.) There still IS Sharlayan where she could stay and maybe gather some information, but I'm not sure about it, I need more information.
So for now she travels and finds her way to Limsa Lominsa and the Arcanist-Guild, where she hopes to find something. She also lives and works there, while she stays. And I want her to meet the Guildmaster (K'rhid Tia), who is never around in the guild. He doesn't emphasize social contacts and prefers to be alone with his studies. Being a skillful Arcanist (the Guildmaster duuhh) and highly intelligent, he knows how to (quote) "manipulate one's situation into the desired reality." So if he doesn't want to be found, he won't be found. Buuut I still want Manah to find him somehow hehe >w< (I bet she tries sooo hard and maybe almost succeeds...but he's just always one step ahead xD And he is a little impressed and admits that she has some kind of skills and agrees helping her. And then...who knows~ Maybe she'll stay~~
But also she could join the main gang and live in Mor Dhona and help them there. Maybe after she finds the truth about her grandfathers grimoire~
I like the ideas I have for her c: I wish I had more detailed information about the canon stuff. I'll start playing the story from the beginning with her and maybe get some more c: (I already forgot so much xD). When I make her a real sheet, the information will be added if necessary.
Oh yeah I almost forgot her best friend and companion: Her Emerald Carbuncle Ruby! Arcanists can summon two versions of carbuncles, Emerald (blue) and Topaz (yellow/gold). Emerald can cast spells and is the first summon, after a while and training an Arcanist can summon Topaz, a little stronger version who also can tank.
Ruby was Manah's very first spell when she started to study to become an Arcanist at young age. Ever since he's by her side. Summons can be dismissed when not needed, because they sap the users Aether (energy). But Manah never wanted to dismiss Ruby.
Name: Logan lux Atlas
Age: 19
Gender: male
Race: Hyur (Garlean)
Class Machinist
Occupation: Machinist/Technician
Traits: A dick. (before the accident, hahaha sorry xD) confident, gregarious, accurate, still spoiled sometimes, dedicated, stubborn
It's a boooooooy! xD I need more male OCs... who look so cute like him, rawr~ *cough* *cough* Okay, I'm back xDD
I'm so looking forward to the expansion Heavensward! There will be new classes, including the Machinist! It's perfect for this pumpkin I had in mind for some time xD I wanted a mechanic who works for/with Cid and his Garlond Ironworks. But before that, some stuff happend~
So Logan is -despite his young age- a very skilled mechanic, working for the Garlean Empire. I'm thinking about making him a 'Native Garlean' like Cid, so he must have this 'third eye' they have on the forehead. (No, not like Tenshinhan xDD).
Highly esteemed for inventing and repairing military machines using their Magitek Technology, he was very boastful and... just a huge dick xDD He knew everything better, did everything better, never accepted help and did everything on his own. ("If you want to have it right, do it yourself!" or something xD)
Because of those successes he became careless and then... a big accident happend...
While working on a military machine he made a mistake. Others warned him, that it is very wrecked and not safe. They should do it together and be careful, but he just send them away, doing it alone. To reach a cord inside the machine, he had to put his whole left arm in it. Then suddenly this whole thing collapsed and crushed his arm. It also started burning, thus the alarm was activated and he was saved but unfortunately he lost his arm.
After that, his life changed. He fell into depression, because he couldn't do his passion. Also he wasn't usefull for the Military anymore, lost his job and also his repute. Since he was a huge dick before the accident, he didn't have any friends...... but one. (The Lalafell girl in the circle~ Still need to think about her more... xD) She knew him since they were children and she knew that he's actually a good person and now was the time he really needed help... and after a while really accepted it!
Eventually they had a great idea: Inventing a mechanic arm using the Magitek Technology! Nobody cared about him anymore, so it wasn't hard for him to get some materials and other stuff for the arm. But still it was a very hard task, because he had just one arm... His friend (Lalafell girl) had to help him very much and it took a lot of time and effort but they really did it! Together~ During this time he changed, became more friendly and also grateful. And now, he even had two arms again~
... but he didn't want to 'come back' to the Military. He realized that they just wanted him because of his work and he didn't want to support their doing anymore. So he decided to leave... and to find a certain person: His idol Cid Garlond. He heared rumors that Cid is still alive somewhere, so he wanted to find him and maybe work for him and his Ironworks. But it isn't that easy to leave, because of his high knowledge of Magitek and the Garlean Empire and Military. Together with his Lalafell friend he started a dangerous journey~
And eventually he finds Cid of course xD
I need to read more about the Garlean Empire and stuff, this is just a rough idea in my head. Maybe I'll change some stuff~
But I really like this arm thing *^* I didn't know how to draw a mechanic arm... xDD I looked at some Fullmetal Alchemist pictures but they didn't really help. When I make his sheet and draw him better, I'll also draw a new (and better) arm >w<
Oh and I gave him the original "Machinist" outfit from the new class~ I think it looks great on him c: There is only little information about the new class, but it's connected with Ishgard. I don't know how I'll connect THAT with my boy. I think I need to play the class and the story before deciding xD But at least I have some stuff for his past >w<
Yeah so these are my new babies
But other stuff first... like commissions and gifts >_<'
Damn I wrote a lot... xD''' Did anybody even read it? xDDDDD

Name suggestions:
Logan - "hollow, lowland" in Scottish.
Vailean or Valan - Scottish Gaelic form of the Latin name Valentinus meaning "healthy, strong".
Cay - Variant of Kai meaning "lord" in Scandinavian.
Lennart- "lion- strong" in Scandinavian,
Rune - meaning "secret lore" in Scandinavian.
Alaric - "noble ruler" .
Eckhard - German meaning "strong edge".
Yvon - French for "yew tree".
Lenz - German meaning "Laurentum"
I got these from the 20000 names website. They have a good listing of names. I picked out some that seemed a little unique. Putting some together with the last names you picked I think they look cool.
For example:
Lennart Atlas - lots of stength
Yvon Silva - lots of foresty meaning here
Alaric Atlas - double a ftw
Cay Silva - lord of the forest
Anyhoo, nice work up there. Character sheets look like a lot of fun. They're a lot of work too. I'm reminded now that I'd like to work on my own character's background. So thank you for the reminder. Zack was wayyy the bomb is Crisis Core btw. Love that guy to death. I like him better than Cloud. XD Zack squats are fun too.

O_O Aww I like the name Logan a lot! Why didn't I think about it first? xDD
But the others are interesting too... I also like Valan or Alaric (although it's kinda simmilar to Aymeric xD).
... You know what I think it will be Logan~ Logan Atlas~ Sounds good to meee~
Thank you sooo much for the suggestions! I'll totally write the other names down
And I'm glad you like them And you're welcome xDD Character sheets are a lot of fun~ And Zack... rawr <3

Woot! I'm happy to help. Its really nice to have a big list of names too. They come in handy. ^_^ I like looking threw odd lists, like mineral names and seeing if I can find a way to get a name out of it.
I could make a ton of characters and do nothing with them. Stories and character sheet making are that much fun. ^.^; And now knowing that he had so many lady friends, its like Aerith I hate to tell you that you weren't the only one. >.<

Ya-e In reply to Rainbow-Requiem [2015-05-10 14:10:24 +0000 UTC]
You're right I always started my own name lists, then I lost them and needet to start new ones...
I wish I already had all the backstories for my two babies, then I could start with their sheets >__< Well, Maybe I could start with the fullbodies I already sketched xD
And of course he had a lot of lady friends! A cutie like him hue hue~ /// But I like Terra (KH BBS) much more! >//w//<

I hear ya on the losing stuff. I just hate sometimes when I get updates for things like my Ipad and it decides to delete everything. >.>
Back stories take a while. For quicker paced stories I sometimes use the aid of generators. Randomness isn't always the best but its ok when there's no good ideas popping out. Sketching a lot of your character's features may help with some ideas, and its fun.
Kingdom Hearts, aw yeah. I love that game. Terra is cute. I really liked Roxas. I made sea salt ice cream like they have in the game, and it was amazing. xD

(Sorry for the late reply but I was busy and sometimes I just don't answer messages.... xDDD')
D'aww >__< That's because I don't use Apple stuff xDD I think this is just messed up with those updates and everything x_x
Random generators? I don't know... I found a few on the internet but they were just crap to be honest xD I prefer coming up with own ideas... which is the hard part of course x_x
Ideas for single pictures are more easy for me xD I already have some, especially for Manah, but I don't have so much time T__T
Ahhhh I wanted to make sea salt ice cream like that too! I found a recipe on the internet but somehow I forgot about it and never did it xD *fail*
I'm so angry, because I was looking forward to Kingdom Hearts 3, but they just skipped the PS3 and did it for PS4...which I don't have .__. And I'm saving up for something so I can't just buy a new 400 bucks console and another 70 bucks for the game x___x

Rainbow-Requiem In reply to Ya-e [2015-05-29 01:15:04 +0000 UTC]
Oh don't worry I go in and out of busy periods, so I understand.
I have a lot of Apple products and its not like the products themselves are bad, but wiping out pages of work on certain things because I forget to upload them, and then foolishly agreeing to an update is just maddening. lol I only think having a Windows Surface 3 would be cool, cause its more Windows friendly, and I can't escape working on Windows based programming. And its not so bad with the art apps too. The stylus is sooo nice. ^-^
I get stuck in my own head for too long and thinking up new ideas gets tough. I have a very random boyfriend, and he's good with coming up with scenarios. If I have time I make my own random generators, and make it into a dice rolling game. So I have lists with things and number them and then use dice. I find its fun if nothing else. I'd agree that most things online are not as good though. I certainly hope you keep a sketch book handy. Even a small one. I use to keep one in my purse, so even though you're busy you can have a ton of valuable little sketches.
I forget about 98% of things I wanted to do. Forgetting to make sea salt ice cream isn't too bad. xD You should try it though! Its really good. I think it tastes a little bit like cookie dough ice cream. It really sucks that they did that to you with the game, I think they are really trying to sell their new consoles. But that was a jerky move.

Hmm I don't really use sketch books, because I'm a digital artist to the core xD When I'm sketching, I always sketch on the computer but yes, as soon as I get an idea, I try to at least make a rough sketch xD
Ikr. MAYBE I'll get a PS4 but not now...well besides KH3 isn't out yet so xD

I know the problem with names, believe me there! Great work! If either of your OC's make it to Mor Dhona, stop by and see my Drg OC at the House of Splendors, trying to pick up on Rowena.....he's not having much luck though. You have to admit, working on your own characters has a feeling of calm and more fun than working on others! Hope to see more!

not in the slightest! XD Ida know why so many people hate Rowena...she's a self made woman, thought granted...she's not girly, is blunt, business first. If push comes to shove, you can name your male OC via the good ol name generator in game! XD Mana's adorable...leave her just as she is!

So maybe she needs a man who's also tough and strong? Idk xDD
Oh god nooo I don't like the ingame name generator x__x Those names suck xDD I guess I'll name him Logan Atlas!
And thanks, I'm glad you like Manah!
