Planning the eventual Bastion glam for Evercold, leaning more toward the magitek/artificer side of things. #ffxiv

A wonderful portrait of my WoL, Zevana Darzi, from @aiphelix.bsky.social. Cannot overstate how great she turned out! #ffxiv #ffxivart

Over the years, will come up with a variety of new/temporary looks, but every time I tap into/return the core that was her piratical/seafaring background, I can't help but feel a deeper connection to the character.

Zevana Darzi, a Final Fantasy XIV warrior of light, wearing two different outfits. In the first, an open-chested black-and-gold pirate's coat. In the second, a white-and-gold jacket evocative of a sci-fi admiral. In both, she wears an eyepatch over her left eye.

Patch 7.25 off to a good start.

Definitely going for the Cannoneer phantom job.

Name: Thale Designation: House of Scales | #SovWriting | #KnightsOfAmarta |

Stylized depiction of a person in a suit and helmet from the waist up. Their right hand wears a black glove with golden talons, and their left sleeve is resembles and array of golden scales. Image is constructed from a series of arranged 'cut out' shapes. Above their hand is an emblem composed of two hooked lines and three dots, the symbol of the High-House of Harrows.

"I take a step forward. And with a solitary tap on the table... silence. The sharp clink of a metal talon—not just striking, but piercing the surface—was enough to regain control of the room. It’s quite hard, you know. To maintain a presence that is intimidating without compromising one’s ability to conduct sensible business. Most Amartans are known for their mastery of the blaster and the blade. They wear their weapons with the comfort of a cozy blanket. But I see no reason to bare arms when but a single finger will do."

Name: Delan Parker Designation: House of Passage | #SovWriting | #KnightsOfAmarts |

A featureless helmed figure garbed in a green jumpsuit/coveralls with light green bits to signify reinforced/armored segments. Stands with his hands on his hips amidst a background of green stripes and an emblem of three bars between two dots, the symbol of the High-House of Means.

“Care to hear the science? Because I did the science. Terrestrial dampeners have rendered this planet’s entire atmosphere dissonant to any and all subspace cryptokinetics. That means I can’t even begin to power up this thing’s FTL coil until we’ve breached orbit. Now, the second those disks start winding up, every single ship in that blockade is gonna get a ping. Those in the area are going to intercede, and I’m willing to bet the adjacent sectors are gonna move to reinforce. That’s a lot of eyes with a lot of guns on my vessel. On your precious cargo. Now, I’m a good pilot. A great pilot. I can dodge ‘em long enough to make the punch, but in order to do that, both myself and the Hachek need to be operating at our peak. That means a partially depressurized cabin and subjecting myself and anyone aboard to a mixture of G-forces, AG-forces, and CK-forces so immensely complicated that the Archduke of Blimbor of whatever could tear down your palace and build a new one from scratch by the time I finished explaining it to you. This box right here, though? Its insulated in such a way that I could probably jettison it from orbit with the princess inside and she wouldn’t even feel it make landfall.”

Name: Unknown Designation: House of Thorns | #SovWriting | #KnightsOfAmarta |

Featureless black figure wearing a vaguely-skull-shaped helmet, red cloth wrapped around their right arm, wielding a red sword, in front of a background composed of red spikes (or thorns).

"A black blur in trademark helm storms the showroom. Never quite know what you’re going to get with a Knight. A few choose to truly adhere to the old namesake, but most of the time it comes down to the particular stylings of one’s House. Each one likes to put their own spin on things. Have their own ‘flavor’. But this one was bitter distillment of creed. Type-0 Diaderma Reinforced Bodysuit; the Amartan’s ‘second-skin’ that could be covered with whatever garb and gear one saw fit. Yet this one remained decidedly bare. No armored plates. No tac-vests or bandoliers. Just a length of red cloth wrapped around their right arm... and the scabbard of a high-frequency blade.

Straight sword. Single-handed. Perfect balance of length and maneuverability, of strength and speed."

- From Knights of Amarta: Ch.1 - "A House Divided"

I specialize in character-driven stories focusing on themes of identity typically explored through journeys of self-discovery amidst fantastical but suitably grounded settings. Occasionally make art on the side, but usually just a bit of concepting/stylized depictions for written works.

Better-late-than-never Intro post: Hi, I'm Osetto, but you can me Os, Vos, Sov, whatever strikes your fancy. I'm a writer, focusing on original works in fantasy and sci-fi settings. Have finally started posting things online again, which you can find links to in the profile above.

Did the same exact thing when they gave out a Fantasia. Literally never take off the patch, but it's one of those 'this is for me' details that just feels nice to think about.

Had an idea for a sort of 'revolutionary demon' look, accentuating the Aka Oni chestpiece with either pilfered Garlean or Doman/Ala Mhigan/Dalmascan pieces. #FFXIV

No matter how glams I cycle through, the Sky Pirate look always finds its way back into the rotation.

It's pretty much mandatory for me to do this during that one bit of Orbonne.

Was going through my old MSQ screenshots and remembered how just being a Highlander was enough to make you tower over some characters. Shout outs to all the Elezen/Roe WoLs that probably had some funny scene blocking. #FFXIV

Since you've done enough Island Sanctuary, I've found the Baronial Jacket also has a bit of a scholastic feel and pairs well with skirts if you need any other outfit ideas.

The true value of the Manusya/Bonewicca sets is that they can serve as bird nests. #FFXIV
