Rumors of the reclusive Order of Saint Gabineaux have circulated throughout Ishgard for what seems like centuries. Some claim it to be fictitious, while others swear that they have had family among its ranks. While many of the whispers are different, one thing remains the same: the mages and mystics of the order are powerful, well-connected, and lack scruples. It matters not if you wish to hex your enemy or have a curse broken, there is surely a brother of the order who can assist. Assuming you are willing to make deals with devils.The Order of Saint Gabineaux opens its door once a moon to outsiders. Invitations arrive without a return address, delivered to those who have caught the interest of the High Priest. Masks are required for entry and aliases are encouraged. Come to gawp, find answers to all of your burning questions, or to seek out the brothers' esoteric skills.

INTRODUCTION

Born and raised in the Brume, August Mercer (known to the world as just Mercer) has clawed his way out of the gutters and fled the home he once hated only to recently return and set up shop. Known as an extremely talented engineer (and Skysteel trained Machinist), he has opened up A.M. Steelworks with the aim of creating and maintaining magitek prosthetics for the citizens of Ishgard (or any who are willing to travel). Will his reputation as the son of an executed heretic impact his work? How about his unusual ties to the House of Vairemont? Or the other strange company he keeps?

THE BASICS

Born and raised in the Brume, August Mercer (known to the world as just mercer) has clawed his way out of the gutters and fled the home he once hated only to recently return and set up shop. Known as an extremely talented engineer (and Skysteel trained machinist), he has opened up A.M. steelworks with the aim of creating and maintaining magitek prosthetics for the citizens of Ishgard (or any who are willing to travel). Will his reputation as the son of an executed heretic impact his work? How about his unusual ties to the house of Vairemont? or the other strange company he keeps?

AS A CHILD

Mercer's childhood was not at all unlike others born to the brume. His parents both struggled to keep a roof over their heads and food on the table. When they both passed he was left in the care of his elder sister April, who was still a child herself. She did her best with what she had, seeking out what work she could manage and stealing when there was no work to be found. Her eventual involvement with the machinist's guild drove Mercer's own interest in tinkering and magitek. Their shared struggles greatly informed Mercer's world view and fueled his long-time dislike of Ishgard and those in power.

FLEEING ISHGARD

After the end of the Dragonsong War, Mercer packed up his things and fled Ishgard without so much as a warning. The reasoning behind this decision is only clear to those closest to him, but it's easy enough to deduce that there was far too much pain associated with his home for him to continue calling it that. His travels began in Gridania and eventually lead him through both Ul'dah and Limsa Lominsa. he soon set up a shop in Limsa Lominsa offering his services as a gunsmith. he made a decent living, but what he made he squandered in games of dice only to make it back in games of cards and then squander it again.

HINGASHI

With gambling debts breathing down his neck, Mercer fled again. This time he found himself in Kugane and in the company of an eccentric collective of mages. It was here that he met his teacher and adopted mother Sasari Sari among many other eccentric friends. The group often found themselves in the cross-hairs of various groups and enemies. including but not limited to disgruntled mages, the Garlean empire, and one particularly nasty Hingan merchant. It was in the wake of the untimely death of said merchant that Mercer and his new-found family relocated to the mists.

IFRIT

Just before settling into his new home in the mists, Mercer found himself facing down ifrit in the sands of Thanalan. While he was not a member of the immortal flames and, at the time, had very little in way of ties to them, his teacher, Sasari Sari, had taken to the field with the intent of testing a device that would allow him to summon egi without having to be directly exposed to a primal's aether. Mercer was uncomfortable allowing her to take this risk on his behalf and so he followed her into the fray. The battle was long and hard, and at the end of it, Mercer had lost his left leg and discovered that he did, in fact, possess the echo.

HOUSE VAIREMONT

His time in the mists was proving fairly uneventful until the arrival of Sebastian de Vairemont. The nobleman came with sufficient enough proof of his claims that Mercer could not in any way deny that he was, in fact, his younger brother. The idea that his father had an affair was not entirely shocking to Mercer, but the idea that he had a child with his liege lord's wife, a noblewoman known to be cold and detached, was difficult to swallow. While Mercer had not asked for a brother, his time without any blood family had left him truly longing for such a connection. And so the two embarked on an admittedly awkward relationship that is still slightly strained to this day.

THE FINAL DAYS

No one escaped the final days unscathed. With his free company rendering aid in both Garlemald and Thavnair, the fire in the sky and the smoke that lead to blasphemies is burned into his brain. The loss of a family member was followed quickly by the destruction of his workshop during an altercation, turned battle with a blasphemy. These losses were the final nudge he needed to push him back to Ishgard. He found himself truly homesick. And so, he returned home to open A.M. Steelworks, a workshop in the Empyreum that specializes in the creation, fitting, and repair of magitek prosthetics. It was also during the final days that he met and fell in love with his husband, Akhutai. It was a whirlwind romance that grew to something very intense in a short span of time. Battle bound, the two married after the final days were thwarted.

CURRENTLY

Mercer works far too much. He can typically be found puttering around his workshop in Ishgard, tinkering with personal projects or commissions. When he is not working at a.m. steelworks, he's working elsewhere. Though, he considers his subpar bartending at the Rusty Mug to be a social hobby rather than actual employment. Which likely says something about his relationship with both work and hobbies. While he does not work actively as an adventurer anymore, Mercer does enjoy taking to the field in search of dangerous artifacts or materials he might need for his personal work. It is definitely possible to drag him out for something a bit more exciting than leaning over a forge all day.

INTRODUCTION

As the illegitimate son of a noble lady and a hyuran soldier, Sebastian's life has hardly been easy. Though, it is difficult to see that given that he bears a noble name and was raised as if his short stature and nearly rounded ears said nothing of his station. Having once been ousted from his house and left with the name Greystone, the lordling has since found himself elevated and returned to the fold. What will he do with his new-found power? Is he pulling the strings of House Vairemont?

HOOK #1 Seeking fellow Brume Rats! If your character was born and raised in the brume, this is the hook for you. Maybe they met Mercer when he was younger, or maybe they've met recently at some dive bar. Either way, he needs more brume friends.
HOOK #2 Looking for tek! Mercer largely deals in the creation and maintenance of magitek prosthetics, but he's prone to taking other jobs he find interesting. If you're looking for something, he might just be your man.

RELATIONSHIP STATUS In a lavender marriage. Partnered outside his marriage. Polyamorous.
ALIGNMENT Neutral Evil

OPEN FOR SHIPPING? No.
SHORT INTRO As a bastard born to a noble lady and a hyuran solider, Sebastian's life has hardly been easy. Though, it is difficult to see that from the outside given that he bears a noble name and was raised as if his short stature and nearly rounded ears said nothing about his station. Having once been ousted from his house and left with the name Greystone, the lordling has recently found himself elevated and returned to the fold. He is a bastard no more. At least not in name. What will he do with his new-found power? Is he, in fact, the one pulling the strings of House Vairemont? Only time will tell.
HOOK #1 Bastard Club! Sebastian often finds himself drawn to other noble bastards. This doesn't seem to have changed even though he has been legitimized. Maybe he should meet your bastard?
HOOK #2 The Heretic's Son. According to rumor, Sebastian's father was convicted of heresy and executed. Has he followed in his father's footsteps? There is only one way to find out.

ALIGNMENT True Neutral
ACTIVITY LEVEL Active
OPEN FOR SHIPPING? No.
SHORT INTRO Once known as one of Ishgard's premier operatic baritones, Matisse has not been seen on stage in many a moon. Rumors swirled around the young lord's absence. Some believed him ill, others suspected he had left behind his art for the political arena. While he has recently reentered society, gossip still swirls around him. Where was he, when will he make his operatic return, and why is he offering his services as an instructor? Is his illustrious career really over?
HOOK #1 The Teacher! While Matisse has not returned to the stage, rumor has it that he is offering up his services as an instructor. Is this a soft announcement of his retirement? Perhaps, but even if it is, those who wish to further their operatic careers would never think of passing up such an opportunity. Maybe you're looking for a teacher?
HOOK #2 The Silence! One moment Matisse was slated to star in the debut of a long-awaited opera, and the next he was replaced. No explanations were given. No statements were made. Months passed and still no one had so much as seen him. Not only did he vanish from the stage, he withdrew from society entirely. Many rumors swirled about his absence and now that he has returned to society, maybe you'll be able to get answers? It can't hurt to ask, right?

GENDER Cisgender Man, he/him
RACE Ishgardian Elezen
SEXUALITY Bisexual (Heavy Male Lean)
RELATIONSHIP STATUS Partnered.
ALIGNMENT Lawful Evil
ACTIVITY LEVEL Active
OPEN FOR SHIPPING? No.
SHORT INTRO It is rare for a valet to have served a family for so many decades without there being a single rumor spread about him. If there had been any gossip, Aurifort squashed it in its infancy because very little is known about him aside from his record of service, having worked for House Vairemont in some capacity for nearly forty years. Those who do dare to whisper speak mostly of his unwavering stoicism and dedication. If they wish to truly tempt fate, they might suggest that he is the true power behind Sebastian de Vairemont. A king maker, of sorts. Or, at the very least, a maker of lords.
HOOK #1 A Life of Service! Aurifort entered service from the moment he was deemed old enough to earn his keep. He began his work as a footman and worked his way up. He has met many others who work in service and is a well known name in the servants halls of most noble houses. Maybe your character has worked with him at some point? Or has at least heard of him?
HOOK #2 Courtesans! Aurifort has always been very discreet with his sexual entanglements, preferring to spend time with courtesans that should be well out of reach of a simple Valet. Maybe he paid for a lovely night with your character?

SHORT INTRO Prudence has always loved a good mystery. When most little girls were playing with their dolls, Prue played detective. Childhood stories of who killed Mr. Muffins soon became real world mysteries, and none more important than the try identity of her father. Now that she's finally found him, she and her tea-drinking mammet sidekick Bartholomew are looking for other mysteries to solve. Are you in need of a detective? There's none better, she's sure of it!
HOOK #1 Gumshoe! Prue and Bartholomew are Ishgard's amateur detective dream team. If you have a mystery that needs solving, these two are on it! Even if you didn't ask them! They'll take any case. Nothing is ever deemed too small or too insignificant.
HOOK #2 Ladies' Maid! It turns out that Prue's dream of making her living as Ishgard's greatest detective hasn't proved to be lucrative. The self-proclaimed inspector has been forced to take up work in the service of noble houses. She's had several postings at this point, all short lived. Perhaps she worked for your character or their house?

SHORT INTRO Locket went from nobody to somebody overnight with the release of their first mobile game app, Heroes of the Arcadion. The digital TCG took off and vaulted their small startup into something truly spectacular. Now a well known face in the gaming and development communities in Solution Nine, Locket can be found out schmoozing various investors in night clubs and bars all over the city. If you notice them out and about, feel free to introduce yourself and ask for an autograph. Just don't prod about the next HotA release. You'll get it when you get it.
HOOK #1 Game Developer! Locket's well known in the industry for developing and funding mobile games. Maybe you play one they worked on? Or maybe you've got an idea of your own to pitch?
HOOK #2 No Regulator! This if the very first thing most people notice about Locket. They don't wear a regulator and they haven't since they burst onto the scene. Maybe they are part of some underground movement? Maybe your character just wants to ask why they don't wear one?

AGE 34
GENDER Cisgender Woman, she/her
RACE Ishgardian Elezen
SEXUALITY Straight
RELATIONSHIP STATUS Betrothed
ALIGNMENT Neutral Evil
ACTIVITY LEVEL By Request
OPEN FOR SHIPPING? No.
SHORT INTRO Often appearing sugary sweet and covered in lace, many have hoped that such a demure and pious lady can bring House Vairemont back in line. While others suggest that she is merely the puppet of her bastard brother. From a distance it is easy to assume the latter, given her intentionally prim facade, but the closer one gets to Marcette, the easier it is to see that little glint of danger in her eyes. She may have been her mother's forgotten child, but she will not be discounted. Nor will she be easily bested. Not even by her brother.
HOOK #1 Gossip! Marcette loves nothing more than a cup of tea with a side of hot gossip. She will be happy to share if you bring her something saucy to indulge in, too. It has to be a fair trade, after all. She's done being used.
HOOK #2 A House in Scandal! As the Regent of House Vairemont, Marcette has been put in the unfortunate position of having to rehab a house rocked by scandal. Between her bastard younger brother, the death of her elder brother, and the recent arrest of her former sister-in-law for heinous crimes, she has been putting the pieces back together for what feels like ages. And while she still chooses to hold her head high like the noble lady she is, many choose to look down their nose at her.

A common sight of Pearl Lane, the ostentatious viera performs feats of both magic and sleight of hand to the delight of all who pass by in hopes of earning a coin or two. Did you later notice that your coin purse was missing entirely? Surely you simply misplaced it. Check again.
HOOK #1 Street Magician! Maybe you've wandered through the seedier parts of Ul'dah and caught him performing and trick or two? He's always happy to show off his sleight of hand.
HOOK #2 Other Veena! Makes hasn't met another Viera from Skatay since the events that led to his leaving. He might be interested in swapping stories. Or, at the very least, meeting someone who had a similar upbringing to his.

SHORT INTRO Teo's life was changed irrevocably the moment that he felt that familiar spark of his own magic called forth by another's hand. The then Mystel followed that feeling, eventually ending up across the rift and face to face with one X'khal'a Moui, a shard of his own soul. Or, perhaps it is the other way around. Either way, Teo's curiosity paid off and he set out to write he new story. He remains on the source, spending most of his time exploring with those close to him and learning of his new home. He currently find himself in Ishgard, collecting tales of war and dragons.
HOOK #1 Looking for dragons! Teo is absolutely desperate to meet a dragon. Maybe you know where he can find one? Or your character is one? He would be delighted to share stories over a cup of tea. Do dragons drink tea? He's not sure.
HOOK #2 Storytime! Teo lives to share and collect stories. It is a spiritual sort of practice for him that he takes very seriously. If your character is a storyteller he'd love to meet them. Or maybe they just want to share tales of their adventures? He's always happy to lend an ear.

SHORT INTRO Currently unaware of who he truly is, or who he is meant to be, Kishar currently finds himself haunting the streets of Ishgard, lingering on rooftops like a gargoyle as he watches over his viera companion, Teo-Linh. Where most people might have found the prospect of being bound to a corpse revolting, Kishar sees it as freedom. After years spend under the thumb of a more powerful voidsent, he is simply happy to be free to do as he wishes. And what he seems to wish to do is keep his viera friend out of trouble and lurk in the shadows.
HOOK #1 Voidsent! Those who can sense the void, can easily tell that Kishar is a voidsent. The method through which he has gained his body is unique, however. It is not a simple possession. Maybe you'd like to find out more?
HOOK #2 Out for a hunt. In order to survive, Kishar must consume aether. Which means he needs to hunt. Perhaps he has overstepped a boundary and ended up in your character's territory? Maybe he got too messy and someone noticed? Or, maybe you character doesn't like to hunt alone and wants a buddy?

OPEN FOR SHIPPING? Organically through RP and only with high chemistry. Slow burn only.
SHORT INTRO As the owner, editor, author, and printer of The Guiding Light, Darcy Dumas is committed to putting the truth in the hands of the people. Having lived in Sharlayan and studied at the Studium, he is well aware of the dangers that come with hoarding research and hiding things from the general populace. With his personal beliefs firmly rooted in the free exchange of information, he opened his print shop and began writing his own paper. The focus of which was always to be the hidden and the esoteric. Nothing he comes across is too strange to be featured. Vampires, werewolves, voidsent, you name it, he has theories on it and he is determined to share those theories with the world! Beware. One you get him talking, he is unlikely to stop.
HOOK #1 Cryptids! Darcy is always on the look out for things that are odd or out of place. He hunts creatures that most believe are not real. Both the supernatural and the entirely made up. Maybe your character shares his interest? Or maybe they are supernatural and he is stalking them?
HOOK #2 Sharlayan! Darcy may have left Sharlayan for Ishgard, but he still has quite the reputation back home. Maybe your character had heard of the /very/ eccentric Miqo'te?

OPEN FOR SHIPPING? Organically through RP and only with high chemistry.
SHORT INTRO Born in the Coerthan countryside, Mattie is unaccustomed to city life. The hustle and bustle of noble life has left him feeling more than a bit out of place. He would much rather be riding through the snowy woods atop his horse with a bow in his hands and the wind in his hair. Alas, his family continues to insist that he must be seen within Ishgard, presumably because they wish for him to marry well. Mattie might have other plans entirely, however. Only time will tell.
HOOK #1 Other Nobles! Mattie comes from country nobility and has spent little to no time in Ishgard proper until very recently. He's been sent to rub elbows with the aristocracy and as such needs to meet some of his fellow nobles! Send them along so he can look like a country bumpkin by comparison.
HOOK #2 Horses! The few who have heard of Mattie know of his reputation as both an equestrian and as a breeder of fine horses. If your character is in the market for a mount that isn't a chocobo in Ishgard, Mattie might just be your man. He also breeds high end hunting dogs if that might be of more interest. He is happy to talk about both for hours and hours on end.

SHORT INTRO Having been nothing more than a fringe presence in Ishgardian society, it was a shock to all when Cyrille assumed the title of Viscount of House Archambeau. The inquisitor had not been trained to take up such a mantle. In fact, it is thought that he was sent off to serve the church in hopes that his eccentricities would go unnoticed. Or, at the very least, would not come back on House Archambeau. Unfortunately for Cyrille, his elder brother was mortally wounded near the tail end of the Dragonsong War, and with no heirs to speak of, the title passed to him. Now he has found himself thrust into the spotlight of high society, forced to mingle, and even to take a wife. Though, most of his fellow nobles doubt that he will make it to the alter. He's far too strange for any woman to put up with for very long. Title or no.
HOOK #1 Former Inquisitor. Before his ascension to the title of Viscount, Cyrille was an inquisitor. Character with ties to the Inquisition may have worked with him.
HOOK #2 Collector. Cyrille is known to collect odd bits and bobs. If you find yourself in possession of monster parts or memorabilia, Cyrille is the man to sell it to.

SHORT INTRO
Once known as a physician from a small town in Garlean occupied Werlyt, Oswyn has left nearly all facets of his former life behind. After the loss of his family to the plague, he gave of his medical practice and shifted his skills towards alchemical and culinary pursuits. Sometimes he blends the two for a unique approach to your typical potion. Now that he has relocated to Ishgard he can be found operating a small catering service out of his home while also offering up his skills to those who would like to commission some of his more interesting work on a case by case basis.
HOOK #1 Werlyt! Oswyn had not met many people from his home since he left. It would be a bitter sweet encounter, given that he left behind quite a few ghosts, but he'd still probably enjoy swapping a story or two.
HOOK #2 Alchemists and Culinarians! Does your character cook for a living? Make potions? Maybe they just like to bake the occasional cookie? It doesn't matter how involved they are in the arts of potions and cuisines, all they need to do is get Oswyn talking about it and he is unlikely to ever shut up.
