Character Name & Journal: alina starkov (sunmon)
Guild Affiliation: None
Plot/CR Hooks:

Alina isn't up to a ton of shenanigans right now — avoiding responsibility, getting acclimated at school — but she makes a good damsel in distress, and she's generally a troublemaker, so if anyone wants to go Snooping Where They Don't Belong, she's your girl. Especially if it means looking for bad stuff about the Guardian Alliance.

Character Motivations:

Emotionally, Alina wants to feel like she's important and loved and worthy — at first she fills this by being the sun saint, but discovers that it dehumanizes her. So she wants to be seen as a whole person. To this end, she's avoiding joining up with the Guardian Alliance because she isn't ready to confront her discomfort with the idea of enslaving herself to Selfless Heroism right now.

Potential Roles:

Alina is a cartographer, saint, and reckless teenager, so she's got a lot of room to kickstart things if people need someone to stick their foot in something. She's pretty self-involved generally, but she'd help anyone who asked out of feelings of responsibility. She can be an antagonist in a girl fight because she's deeply insecure. She can also be a damsel in distress or offer a shield for ... whatever.

Plot Ideas:

At some point I really want to run a plot that involves a cult who worships the PCs who arrived in the Confluences, because Saint, but I don't have it very fleshed out. I'm thinking that it could involve kidnapping them, which might necessitate depowering to function as a game-wide plot. I'd like help fleshing this out.

Roles Needed:

Kidnappees, someone with ideas for how to depower characters (I think MCU!Peter Parker is interested in this part based on a technopathy thing), NPC development, people who'd take advantage of said cult and try to use it, people who'd try to escape and maybe get dead. Idk this is very early development.

Character Name & Journal: shaedra valorum (hydaelyns)
Guild Affiliation: Guardian Alliance
Plot/CR Hooks:

Shaedra does deliveries of all kinds on her chocobo, so she's easy to stumble upon people. She also has shadow/darkness powers related to dealing out punishment and withstanding it as well as healing magic, so she can be your tank or your healer. She also has moderate psychic/psychometric powers that let her see glimpses of people's memories, so please opt-in if you're interested.

Character Motivations:

Adventure!! The best thing about Shaedra is that she's down for pretty much whatever. She would like to get home because her friends are still In Danger, but she's also somebody who just enjoys new experiences, so she's here to try new things.

Potential Roles:

Shaedra is often the Big Damn Hero who does the dirty work and fights the big monsters for others. She's self-sacrificing and takes too much of other people's burdens onto herself to try to save them at the cost of her, so if you need somebody to shoulder consequences of some bad choices through Magic, she's your girl.

Plot Ideas: Eventually I want to do something related to primal-summoning (gods in FFXIV are summoned by belief) but I think I want to give that time first, so I'll probably focus on smaller scale sidequest fare for now. Maybe mission board things.
Roles Needed: NO IDEA YET, honestly
