A bit of spicy banter between #SpinelMagnia and Dawntrail's Shale. Happy with how this #ff14 #gpose turned out.

A split screen shot where Shale from Dawntrail is speaking over a linkpearl to an original character who is a viera "Spinel". Shale is overlooking some terminals, light illuminating her face. Meanwhile Spinel is in a very dark room, barely illuminated by some ambient electrope. Their conversation is as follows:

Shale: "Be careful, Spinel. Preservation has security everywhere in here. I don't need our promising rookie dying on her first week as an operative."
Spinel: "Don't worry your pretty head over me. I still plan on taking you out somewhere nice, I can't die without taking you back to the Radius at least once."
Shale: "Fine, it's a date. So until then: Head in the mission, Rookie."
Spinel: "Head after, too? Sounds like a good time. Soon you'll stop calling me 'rookie' and start calling me 'Mistress'."

I imagine she enjoys the bathing experience. Would take her time and enjoy the water. A good soak is something she'd relish in. Although she knows that on an adventure, bathing is not always readily an option. But, she will still take her time to be presentable and ready for the day. #RubiAquilarion

Magic is a gift. It's the life we live. The air we breathe, the heat we feel. Aetherology is simply the study of the natural forces we've yet to fully understand. When I was a little girl I would listen to The Mist. Later, I would befriend it. Now, we're a team. She even has a name: Lily.

I found it back in ARR when I was bouncing between GW2 and ESO. They both were having growing pains and I vehemently refused to play WoW. So, I tried xiv. Then I tried it again (14 day free trial without an income) but that time I managed to play up until heavensward's release.

Rubi @rubiaquilarion.bsky.social · 10/05/2026

Which ones? We've got Spinel Magnia: PunkBun with an attitude problem from Sol.9. Hijime Mol: The Mol who could, counterpart to @xephre.etheirys.social's Delina Avagnar. And Doelle Miounaux, ex-poacher Duskwight WoL who's Echo is too sensitive. Quick blurbs about each in their alt text!

Spinel Magnia: The Echo-bearing shetona who was raised a street rat, and lives through peoples memories, as herself. She likes to think she's hot shit and is always down to commit a crime. She's a criminal street rat turned Oblivion Operative, who after a lesson in life from the WoL themself, she decides to make something of herself instead of a nuisance.

Pictured: A mid-40s shetona from Solution Nine. She has tattoos all over her body and purple and violet hair. She is sitting on an electrope counter wearing her typical red jacket and dark red leather pants with a black binder and some large leather jackboots. She is seated with a bat in her left hand and gesturing with a middle finger with her right.

Hijime Mol: The Mol who could. She travels the world to be strong enough to win the Mol some respect from the Nadaam. She is the daughter of the Khutun and was the next leader in line, but forsook her duty to pride and followed in her lost sister's footsteps to grow strong.

Pictured: A blue-skinned Xaela facing the camera with fiery orange eyes. She is wearing some furs and leather, with tattoos all over her body. She also has a backpack and a spear on her back. She is set against the sunset and some rolling grassy hills and mountains.

Doelle Miounaux: Ex-poacher in the Black Shroud. She turns herself in after the calamity after her gang turns on her with the wildlife goes sparse and more deadly. Around that time she starts receiving visions and migraines. It isn't until the Hearers talk to her that she is gifted a circlet to keep her mind's eye from wandering into the minds and hearts of others.

Pictured: A Duskwight Elezen turning herself in to the Bowlord, who sees opportunity in her. Doelle wears an unremarkable tied hempen shirt, some boarskin gloves, some leather boots and a longbow on her back. Her hair is tied back and her forehead is covered with a bandanna.

And for #SpinelMagnia (who isn't a WoL) Street Rat learns that The Hero isn't all that by playing their autobiography, and decides to try to One-Up them. (and Inherits their role in 7.2 if the AU is to be believed)

pre transition Rubi in her Sharlayan attire. She overlooks the Floating City of Nym, and her Faerie elaborates on her history. She telepathically conveys "This used to be my home... I can feel it in the aether...But its gone. What I remember is gone now. Fifteen hundred years and a world ending flood drove my people to attempt to wield wind magicks to lift it into the sky and away from the flood, and as you can see...We failed."

Thancred from Final Fantasy XIV and Honey B. Lovely posing for a selfie picture with Thancred gesturing behind him at Honey while in solution nine. There is a dialogue box with the following words beneath them:

Rubi and Bonnie having an adventure in #shadowbringers where they visit Nabaath Areng. Rubi likes to discuss all the history of places they visit, that she read about while Bonnie was running errands. However, it seems something else has caught Bonnie's attention. #ffxiv #WoLxWoL #gpose

An auburn Viera (Rubi) sitting on a ledge with another Viera who has blue hair (Bonnie) overlooking a wall of white-golden rock facing away from the viewer. Rubi's right arm is positioned behind Bonnie and leaning into her shoulder. They look over the landscape, featuring ruins of a lost civilization caught in the white-golden wall of crystaline rock. Rubi is gesturing with her left hand as if to explain something.

Rubi continuing to expound on something, now viewed from the front, while Bonnie plays footsies with her. Bonnie seems amused, albeit confused by the explanation given.

Rubi stands with enthusiasm to further detail her explanation, and demonstrate her excitement. However, a breeze kicks up, tousling her skirt, while Bonnie looks at her.

Bonnie is distracted by the skirt being tousled and what lies beneath it, which is just some underwear, to pay too much attention to her partner's enthusiasm.
