Vesper Reshef

The dragon signifies the transformation of a fish."It is about the fish's ability to leap over a dam. It was about the effort it made against a monstrous obstacle. It was about the heroic leaping action it took. Its bones were broken and its scales were scraped away. It could have died from the effort but it didn't give in. That's what set it apart from the ordinary fish."

Roleplay Hooks

Interior Design
Got a house, and you're not sure what to do with it? Vesper's primary trade is Interior Design and she's happy to assist! And so is the writer.
Thavnairian Origins
Although Vesper is an amnesiac, recent recollections have her knowing that she was once a Hannish citizen within Thavnair. Perhaps you grew up alongside her, or also live within Thavnair. Its no coincidence that the free company she leads is also based in Thavnair proper.
Free Company Leadership
Vesper is the Head of Operations for a mercantilism free company known as Wayward Acquisitions. Not known to many these days, such doors are open to all walks of life in need of a roof over their head, a meal to eat, and a job to work.
Supply and Demand
Need a relic retrieved, an item procured, or perhaps your old supplier for trade goods ran dry? Vesper's more than happy to strike up a contract for her and her company to secure what you need.
Legend of the Koi & the Dragon's Gate
An old tale, a myth, or a legend has circulated among both Hingan and Doman culture as far back as one can remember. The tale has loose meaning in today's time and is often open for interpretation. They say if a koi is able to leap over this grand gate, that it will transform into a dragon.
Rumor has it that Vesper's true eye color(s) match that of a koi gifted to the Shisui Palace by Thavnair as part of a trade agreement. Those that have witnessed the koi knew it had an exceedingly long life, close to a thousand years before one day disappearing. The palace has not seen their wise koi since. Coincidence?
Akasha
Although not an expert on the matter, Vesper is a firm believer of Akasha, or dynamis. The power to manipulate magic through the use of one's emotions and beliefs to do extraordinary things. Perhaps you have experience with Akasha, or information that can better help her understand its implications?
Allagans. Why Allagans?
Around her neck is a peculiar choker that of present has a pulsing purple gem within it. Trained eyes from those exposed and knowledgeable of Allagan Technology might realize that it's not a choker at all, but something else entirely. All Vesper knows is it limits her aether and she cannot take it off.
In addition to personal experiences with Allagan Technology, Vesper has become rather knowledgeable on how the technology functions and can somewhat navigate her way through matters as well as translate the elder dialect for those who may need.
Thanks for the Memories
After a nasty fall a few turns ago, Vesper has amnesia and has since struggled to remember important pieces of her life. Perhaps you met her before this happened, and want to reintroduce yourself? Perhaps you may prove as an invaluable catalyst to help her remember.
The Relic
Those within Eorzea for the past two turns may have been familiar with an Allagan Discotek, or bar and lounge, known as The Relic. This was a rebranded ideal from a beloved friend Cerys Korvesse. Vesper remodeled this place to resemble a night club at first, one of many that popped up across Etheirys with the motive to gain information and broker it behind its popular front. Over time the excitement was dialed back, and eventually their doors closed. The very profit from The Relic is the fuel to the free company's endeavors today.

Relationships


Dear, Sweet Family -

Cerys Korvesse

Allagan TechnologistI met Cerys when I was seeking an opportunity to get out of a very sleezy establishment. I was approached for interior design, but our relationship became more than that. She helped me study my aether and also gave me the ability and confidence to run my own show safely. I have a lot to thank her for. She comes across as cold hearted and distant, but its truly the opposite.Nowadays you can't find our stand-in Uldahn Ambassador outside of her new workshop repairing old technology from machines to simple devices. She's the reason we have a water-resistant linkpearl and company-issued tomestones.

Mavi Reshef

Dearly BelovedMarried twice over without divorce, this man is irreplaceable to me. He was there when I journeyed to get back on my feet. He was with me through thick and thin, and has stuck by me through my amnesia, my rediscovery of aether, and more. I don't know what else to say. I love him, irrevocably so.It goes without saying that I hope to have an everlasting future with this devilishly handsome Abanian miqo'te. I'll treasure you always.

Y'Rael Nunh

Favored Jungle CatOver time, I have grown really connected to Y'rael since he was hired on at the Relic. The more he opened up and the more I got to know him, the more I understood him and his ways. This half-padjal / half-miqo'te leads a tribe of his own in the Thavnairian Jungle. He is protective, and fierce when need be. Alongside Mavi, he has a piece of my heart. I love him dearly.After walking with him through his Dream, not only do I have a deeper understanding of him, but a deeper love. For him, and his children.

Y'Rekal Tia

The Jaguar's WardY'rael's son. I admittedly have only met Rekal a handful of times, but that's all it took to consider him family. This man is destined to be the leader of Y'rael's tribe should he decide to take up the mantle. All it takes is a sweet touch to make him crumble beneath one's touch, but all the same he's much the spitting image of his father. I suspect his traits favor his mother in appearance, but his demeanor is the result of Y'Rael's upbringing. Protective, collected, and not afraid to get their hands dirty if its for a meaningful cause.I only recently understood that his conception was so that I wasn't alone in my own childhood, given that we are quite similar in age. I should see him as a brother or sibling, but my relationship with Y'Rael has molded my perception. I feel oddly maternal for him, and Y'Rael's other children.

Lilianna Portania

The Pink PugilistThis woman is the hero in an Uldahn comic book series retelling her countless adventures. From what I know of her she's a talented baker and florist besides... and has a very obsessive love for the color pink. She's Mavi's latest fiancé and one of his few partners aside from Ityrth that I actually like. I'm happy that she's around and also not afraid to set Mavi straight if he is out of line.I still have a lot to learn about Lilianna, but I respect and trust them.

Graves

A Man of Many NamesA mysterious figure, this one. This Xaela was sold to the Garleans and fled Ilsabard while eloping with his late wife. He has two loving daughters, and always seems to wear the same purple suit wherever he goes. He's a wise friend and a seasoned information broker. To have an ally in this man is invaluable, and i'm glad to have the opportunity to know him. Even if he thinks i'm reckless in my endeavors.Graves had asked Mavi and I to be his daughters godparents, and we both happily agreed. Since his time here in Wayward Acquisitions he's come to be my right hand in a lot of things, and I trust him greatly.


Forever Friends -

Sunny Varnes

Veena MatriarchWhere to begin? A faithful photographer to manager, to beloved ally and tea connoisseur, this giant viera is sweet as she is fierce. Sunny has a traveling companion i'm only getting used to known as 'Shaad' who appears to be a voidlord of his own account. Often bound to her sword, Sunny is a bulwark on the front lines of disaster as well as an astounding chef in her spare time. She is one of my rocks, and I don't know what i'd do without her.I'm pleased to know not only is Sunny an ally, but now she has agreed to join our Free Company. A talented blacksmith, she has the skillset to forge life from alloys. A lover of a good meal, and tea.

Getty Leigh

Chaotic VieraWhat is there to say? As her and Zyrrkinoth state, "Make interesting choices".From the moment this woman walked into the Relic, they've been with us since. Long enough to even join our free company, and I wouldn't have it any other way. A powerful mage and dexterous ally. Getty is a true friend, and will protect those she cares for at all costs.

Zyrrkinoth de Deresnels

Ishgardian LordZyrrkinoth was special, and I realized that from the moment I met him. This elezen is not only an Ishgardian noble, but a partner to a voidsent who now operates alongside him as a brother-in-arms. If he's not escaping with a good cocktail, he's tailing a lead as an expert dragoon - or reaper, for the matter.Lately deals of his House and furthermore the depth of his and Getty's relationship has left him scarce, but he still does all that he can to help the Free Company. This includes taking up alchemy to keep our medical supplies well in stock.

Gohin Elwood

The Free-spirited CaptainPirates. Need I say more? Introduced as Sunny's significant other, this Captain drives a hard bargain. This man won't even accept a lump sum of gil outright but would rather have the offer of free booze on a whim versus stable lodging and steady work. Meeting in the middle, he's agreed to loan the Will o' the Wisp to Wayward Acquisitions time and again for our porting needs. I do owe him a good deal of thanks, but where he thought I made a deal with the devil... he really underhanded my strokes of luck.As time goes on I'm starting to wonder where this freelancing miqo'te has his loyalties, and if our agreement will uphold. I question his commitments, and hope that he'll pull through for us in days to come. It has left me planning for contengincy, however.

Adrian Coswell

The RecluseThis paranoid garlean with a knack for guns is one seldom seen in the walls of the free company. When called upon, he will be there. Getting to know Adrian is a treat. He's resourceful, witty, and terrifyingly strategic. He is a stalwart ally to those he cares for and the bane of one's existence should they go against him. A savvy mind in the world of magitek, he would be your go to. That is, as long as he doesn't get stuck on the moon again.

Ameline Coeurlheart

The KunoichiAlthough there is much left to learn about Ameline and their history, we work together well on means of business. Ameline is a half-miqo'te, half-elezen woman who has trained extensively in the arts of being a ninja, among other things. The strict teachings of their sensei are virtues they carry with them every step of the way. While not afraid to get their hands dirty, Ameline is loyal to a just cause and will see things through to the very end.I respect them and their ways, and hope that Ameline will find more here at Wayward Acquisitions than just 'another job' to take.

Mirabelle Goodfelloow

The Curious CoronerIs 'Coroner' the right word for the main talent of this woman? A former soldier and honeypot assassin, Mirabelle lives up to the philosophies of her grandfather and their surname alike. Aiming to make a difference, Mirabelle strives to do her best with whatever is thrown her way. Given our recent contracts, it involves hunting, and gathering supplies on that ever growing list.However, her ability to restore artifacts, practical medicine, and to learn the last stories of the deceased are not to be overlooked. She is versatile in her trades and invaluable. Aside from that, our acquaintanceship has slowly begun to develop beyond the bounds of business. She's a friend, and one I hope to keep for many suns to come.


Uncommon Grounds -

Silent Doe

Thavnairian WanderlustDoe came to Wayward Acquisitions as a bored viera looking for something new. While Doe and I had a mutual understanding in the beginning, recent events within the isles of Shakdvipa have us at odds. Our relationship is distant and purely professional due to a great mistrust with reasons unknown.I admired Doe for his strong will but am intimidated by how cold he can be in certain situations. This is a man with unbreaking resolve with whatever he sets his mind to. His ability to weave flesh by nature alone is remarkable as well as his capabilities as a fighter. Despite learning his truth, there is still a mystery about the viera I fell I haven't fully uncovered.I hope in the future that he will forgive me for whatever misgivings had arisen. We may have differences, but anyone under my banner is still considered family no matter what.
