Byaphine
The Smol Archon
A Final Fantasy XIV RP carrd
Sit at the bar, a short veena ponders over a mug of coffee until she notices the newcomer. She welcomes them with a tired but genuine smile
“Hi there, first time I see your face around and /trust me/ I would remember. What brings you there?"
A pause, as her thoughtful aquamarine gaze washes over them
“You can tell me to frakk off, but when did you get your last medical check-up?”

Clean and ordered places. Mandatory for work, appreciated in her burrow (but struggle to do so).
Dislike:
Forms and administrative duties as a whole. Don't get her started about taxes.
Any reference to her height. Yes, she has a complex.

Nature:
This small miss couldn't be more afar from a Sharlayan Archon's stereotype. Merry if not cheeky on her good days, she's the spontaneous kind unafraid to engage conversation... When she's not dead tired and dozing off on the counter ! This heavy title is nothing more than a tool for her, barely worth mentioning. She's presenting herself as medic first and foremost, or a researcher depending the context.Engaging her on scholarly topics will assuredly awake her never-ending appetite for aetherology, archeotech, weapon systems, history, even perhaps a bit of politics. The hard part will be to stop her nerd-talking ! Nothing that a few drinks can't smooth, if not shifting conversation to more daring topics. Being a medic for so long eroded all filters she could have on human anatomy... And the ways to honor the Lover.As relaxed and easy going she can be off duties, her personality drastically shifts when medical expertise is required. Remaining still gentle and humane with the patient, her seriousness is unwavering. She won't rest until the patient in her care is in the recovering path, regardless for how many sleepless nights and coffees it will take. Children have her peculiarly invested, especially since becoming mother herself.Despite being hard to upset, bothering too much this smol bnnuy can be a bold move. Decades-honed barbs is something she developed as an art in the coated world of scholars. When violence erupts, she's also perfectly able to drop the "p" from "pharmacist"... With a guilty part of herself enjoying it.

Sixth Astral Era - circa 1430-60 : Early years
“For long, I held resentment for this childhood without much love. Since, I realized allowing me to live was the best kindness Griejza could afford"
The kit to become Byaphine was born in the settlement of Kisne, nested in the gentle wooden foothills of Skattay range. Runt by all means, being tinier than average and sickly, her mother Griejza hadn't much hope of her survival, left alone to turn female. The woods and the village wasn't a place for the weak. Despite her severity, the huntress still tended to the kit, firmly convinced its coming of age would see it male and taken by the warders. This prediction shared by many made the kit target to mockeries if not bullying from other children, making it a rather sad bnnuy preferring staying inside the maternal burrow.Yet, to (almost) everyone' surprise she turned female, making her mother embarrassed ; still frail, by no mean she would do a decent huntress. Young Lilja as she was then named still had to cope with bullying from her "sisters", some almost twice her height... This rather sombre and potentially brief existence awaiting her was broken thanks to the village's eldest and most respected salve-maker. Already familiar with the weak kit, the venerable veena realized the ever-growing mist connection within the young woman.Lilja's frequent fevers and apparent sickness were caused by anomalously strong body aether concentration, her rather weak constitution unable to cope with the raw energy flowing in her veins. This threatening condition turned with diligent training and care into a gift, the apprentice soon able to weave mists into potent healing spells and barriers, while medicinal herbs and tinctures helped stabilize her wavering health. Years passed and this astute learned grew as one of the village's most efficient mistweaver, the usual limit others faced barely existent - including those reinforced by muscmaloi body-paints. The more she depleted her inner mists often, the better she felt. Mockeries thawed at long last, and the smol veena even felt acceptance from her kin for the first time. Rekindling with merriness, she took the resolution of keeping a smile on her face in front of the ordeals her hopefully long life would throw at her.
Now well established, the young woman still enjoyed quietness and solitude offered by the woods ; the closest things from comforting her harsh childhood had. Now able to fend for herself, she often scoured on her own with the good excuse of medicinal herbs not harvesting themselves. Once in a while, she had to venture south toward the warmer jungles of Golmore to gather more tropical plants. A risky endeavor, by drawing her close to the Rava tribes' territory. Much like their paler cousins, these folks were not really kind to any trespasser, long-eared or not. Luck was on her side this day though, as even an apprentice aiming at her would've probably cut short her existence.
The rather young male who spotted and ambushed her missed his shot by an hair's breadth, only to face the brutal retaliation of her water spell. The salve-maker discovered her aggressor weakened and sick, probably on his last ropes and bound to die in the general indifference as many other males. She did what she do best to this day, nursing the cautious wood-warder back to health instead of taking his life. Of few words at first, he still expressed his gratitude before she left...From kindness seeds of friendship were planted, and the roots of defiance from her people's ways grew deeper.
Peace in the woods
Credits: @gamerjje (X)
The young doe kept well the secret of her forbidden encounter, but perhaps she grew even more eager to visit the woods, her newfound contact helping her to find herbs from warmer climes. It is during one of those escapade the turning point in her life happened. A group of hyurs, mostly women and children, encroached the forest in their flee from an armed band. To her utter horror, she witnessed the onslaught of every trespasser from the wood-warders, unwavering to any pleas.
Shaken to the core and revolted, her decision came after few nights plagued by haunting nightmares. People suffered out of the woods, powerless and vulnerable as she was before. And so, in the favor of dusk, she packed her meager possessions and walked toward the verdant edge without leaving a word to anyone.Was it fate or did her tailed her? She never knew. A hand pulled her before she crossed the carved wards, her friend trying to retain her. Yet, he found himself unable to extinguish the fiery resolve burning in her aquamarine eyes. As he saw her go, he couldn't help the urge to follow this small woman about to face the wide world. She needed to be protected... Or perhaps /he/ felt that need. This night, two vieras left their ancestral homes to never go back.
Sixth Astral Era - circa 1460-1510 : Shrouded feelings
“Dear Menphina, we were so foolishly young back then... Blind to the obvious. Still I, and hope he too was happy in spite of the hardship we faced"
The wide world was as stimulating experience as it was destabilizing for the young viera. Severed from the voice of the wood and anything they knew, they could only count on each other. Their first steps as travellers happened in Dalmasca kingdom, when they encountered several of their kin used to city life. Learning here the bases of their new reality, they soon hit the roads again, not ready for this kind of existence.Thus they travelled the different nations of Othard, living of small mercenary and hunting from him, then gifts from grateful villagers healed by her. By hearing the many tales from sailors about a whole other piece of land in the west, they took a merchant ship heading toward Eorzea. Their first contact could've gone better, noscean pirates boarding their vessel only to find themselves thrown back to the sea by water spells and solid vieran kicks. Electing to travel deeper inland, the rava jack enjoyed Thanalan's warmth and beak-axes hunting when the paler doe expended her salve-making skills with local alchemical knowledge. In turn, she enjoyed her time in Isghard's flowery high hills, learning there the bases of surgery.Only upon their arrival in the Black Shroud they felt the need for a pause in their wanderings, and for a time decided to settle here. Their increasing interactions with locals struggling with woodspeak intonation encouraged them to choose new names. Each choosing for the other, they would be known as Byaphine and Meruun. His archery prowess gave him stable job with the local guild, while she constantly bugged the secretive elementalists in an attempt to learn their ways, with frustrating low success. Her other medical skills still managed to win enough good graces for them to be treated well enough in a society usually warry and cold with strangers.It was there the viera experienced their first contact with large-scale conflict, the neighboring nation of Ala Mhigo invading Gridania in what would be known as the Autumn War. The former wood-warder had little difficulty to shift his hunting target for spoken species, but Byaphine struggled with what she saw as coldness in him. She had little time nor opportunity to confront him, the healer's ever-needed skills draining the short doe to the bone. Thankfully the war ended with the relief forces sent by other city-states, laying foundation for peaceful cooperation within the subcontinent.Few more years passed, the viera finally noticing colleagues and friends aging and sadly passing. Meanwhile, the duo had both appearance of energy of their youth, unphased by time passing. Such is the burden of their kin... The death of a hyur Byaphine once took as an apprentice triggering their return to a wandering life.Those decades out of ancestral woods changed them, the smol veena growing more confident, the silent rava more sociable. His first joke had her stunned in awe for a while ! Often mistaken as a couple whenever they went, the viera were still seeing each other as inseparable friends... With benefits for quite the long time, their relatively young age and isolation from their kin helping.It took one more decade and half a continent scoured later to realize how dense they were. By feelings and actions, they were definitively lovers for a long while. It is actually Meruun was the one to take initiative, proposing to her in the eorzean fashion atop the Pharo Sirius. A little healer moved to tears became soon after an happy wife in a private ceremony held by not so sober of a moggle.
Sixth Astral Era - circa 1510 -1530 : Close to the heavens
“Our time in the skies wasn't planned nor wanted at first, but I keep found memories of this rowdy bunch."
The couple kept on a semi-nomadic way of life, settling a year or two in different parts of the three continents before moving again. As much for avoiding the pain they felt in Gridania, but also fleeing from the conflicts brought by the nascent Garlean Empire. By both their trades and skills honed by the years, they didn't had much trouble to cover their humble needs. Sleeping under starlight or a tent most of the time and fed by Meruun's skills at hunting and foraging, the simple presence of each other was all the happiness they asked for.Yet this life between two pairs of ears ended abruptly. During their visit in the Abalathia's Spine, the couple got ambushed. Usually, the rava' skills gave him the edge, but little could he do against a flying roaring monster of metal and even louder crew. It was their first encounter with an airship, and the rowdy bunch calling themselves sky pirates. With close to nothing of value to steal from the couple, the rather charismatic elezen woman acting as captain saw another gains to claim. Especially in the jack, to Byaphine's displeasure. With little room for discussion, the viera joined the Greyterns and the Big Betty, a highly repurposed -and definitively not stolen- garlean freighter.Uncomfortable (rightfully so) at the start, the forced volunteers adapted to their new reality in the skies. The pros started to outweigh the cons for the couple, especially during the rest times by the floating islands known as the Sea of Clouds. Byaphine found her second love with the freedom provided by the sky, making her compromise with greyer code of conduct. And so she learned how to use firearm to defend the ship against cloudkin and Vanu Vanu, and the bases of mechanics due to how often she had to mend burn injuries plaguing the reduced machine crew.Their sojourn in the skies was briefer than expected though. Few years after joining the Greyterns, one too daring travel in search of the legendary Azys Lla saw the captain and several crew members see their demise. The couple decided to resume their wandering on the ground, parting in good terms with the remaining crew. Still, their now acquired taste for broader company was soon met with new opportunity they could hardly refuse.They got approached by Sharlayan's Gleaner guild, relentlessly seeking grizzled explorers to replenish its teams. The many advantages and support to explore further the Star this time legally made them really easy to convince. And so they entered in service to Sharlayan, exploring, collecting, studying sometimes in perilous situations alongside many different people. Byaphine expended on her healing talents, studying as side hobby the strange arcane geometries called somanoutics. She also found herself fascinated by the many devices designed by current and old civilizations. She still kept a firearm for self-defence, and challenge her husbun in sharpshooting... She never managed to beat.One day, Byaphine felt odd. It didn't take the seasoned healer to recognize the signs; despite her precautions, a new life was growing in her. Increasingly attached to Menphina's cult precepts, she was ready to plea for keeping the child, despite the important risks for her weak body. To her relief, Meruun was prompt, if not happy to build an eorzean family, an idea he pondered for long. A new adventure they would face together with all the changes it would bring, like settling in their own home they could now afford. They decided to settle in the mild Upper la Noscea, their contacts helping them obtain the Limsan citizenship. An thriving mother-to-be rested in their nest (over) preparing the birth while Meruun took on shorter missions to secure extra gils.
The couple lengthily discussed the name and life they dreamed for their firstborn. Lilly was certain, as he often called the small veena "Lilly of the valley" with affection. If the kit turned male, its Isghardian equivalent sounded just wonderfully: "Muguet". A family name was also needed for their household. Borrowing again from elezen language again, they choose Frenecu. Roughly translated as "ash shield", it reminded the future parents the tree roots on which she first healed him so many decades ago.
Sixth Astral Era - 1531 : Devastation
“Sálufélagi, please forgive me..."
Moons passed, but felt the longest they ever lived. Byaphine closely monitored the life growing in her now big belly, while calming Meruun's almost childish eagerness to see their firstborn. Few weeks before the expected birth, Meruun was called to reinforce a team making a survey in recently exposed Nymian ruins. Hesitant to leave his wife, he however departed with her benediction for the trip promised to be short and in a peaceful area. Two days and he'll be back, hopefully with some rolanberry cheesecake to calm her pregnancy sweet craves...Two days later at dusk, knocks at their abode made the smol veena rush at the door, eager to welcome her love. But upon opening, she met the shaken face of a Roegadyn, surrounded by his gleaner colleagues. Dread spread like burning poison in her veins... And her world broke at the sight of the shrouded body in the carriage. Her harrowing cries haunted many until their last breath, as much has the unfolding tragedy. Her distress transformed into very physical, excruciating pain. She fell on the ground, hands on her belly burning like the Seven Hells. Slipping away from devastating reality, she could only implore the Twelve to spare the life she felt waning in her womb.All she held precious was lost this day. Her century-long soulmate was taken away from a collapsing wall in the ruins, an accident no one managed to anticipate. The shock of his loss triggered her labor too early... Leading to the miscarriage of their firstborn, all that was left of him.

Sixth Astral Era - 1531 to 1572 : Everything to forget
“Now, I feel ashamed of how low I fell... Yet, I endured, all thank to uncle's mentorship and the purpose he reminded me"
Despite the Lover's tenets considering life as sacred, Bya yearned to rejoin her beloved in the Lifestream. Body reeling and mind shattered, she was letting herself wither under the powerless gaze of the noscean hospital staff looking after her.With no known relative, and much obligated by contract, the Gleaner guild send some support, then ultimately made her transfer to Old Sharlayan's better equipped facilities. Yet, nothing seemed being able to restore her will to live. She was an empty husk, thrown in a bottomless pit of despair and guilt for losing her child.A definitively cruel and lonely end was yet avoided, thanks to a strange-looking Raen visiting the bedridden veena. Known as Archon Urfel Cyanaile, he was a friend of the couple, draw close to by work and a shared -and by all mean strange- longevity. No words could relieve Byaphine for her loss, only time... And a chance to do so.He patiently looked after her, visiting each day to count her everything and nothing, from the latest Forum's trivia to new breakthrough in his researches. All to keep her connected to the Star, even a little. It took weeks before she even replied to him, moons for her psyche recovering enough to not attempt at her own life. Rebuilding on the bottomless abyss left in her life would be of course harder, anything reminding her what she lost. Byaphine by no mean able to travel anymore in this sorry state, Urfel suggested taking on studying under his tutelage. He hoped a busy mind would distract her from the pain, even briefly. It would also secure her a place on a otherwise secluded island.And so she entered the Studium as a silent and gloomy trainee in general medicine then somanoutics as advised by her mentor and now "uncle". He was convinced her previous skills would bloom within the Physis framework combining arcane and medical expertise. His intuition proved right, alongside the silent hope she rekindled with her vocation. She had meaning once more, by sparing the pain of loosing family to others. She dedicated herself tirelessly to medicine researches, to the point Urfel soon pushed her to take on an Archon thesis.Her body's peculiar condition were of singular interest to the Physis Technon, forcing drastic and often very experimental modifications to the armaments entrusted to her. In parallel, this ambivalent trait allowed her to easily explore avenues usually unreachable to most without great resources. Byaphine pushed previous works on arcane geometry compression, to finally reach a breakthrough. At the cost of exponential aether consumption, she achieved a folding formula able to convey healing resonance down to a near-cellular level. This granted her the coveted title of Archon only ten years after her arrival, the first official recognition of a life spent to rescue those in need.Yet, the mark felt hollow an meaningless to her, aside ensuring she could still dull her pain by lengthy shifts. Her duties were split between the Physis Technon on several research projects, and a more generalist hospital as physician. With the forum's benediction, she was sanctioned alongside her uncle to partake in a new generation of nouliths' development that would be known as the lancers. The Dravanian colony's planned exodus finally came to be, affecting everyone on the isles including her. The sage's growing recognition and ever increased-need of medical support earned her to be appointed as one of the senior physician within Panacea, the biggest medical establishment.Taking care of patients was the meager comfort her daily routine could offer. Rest was still an ordeal though, barely calming with the passage of time. More often than not, she couldn't keep her tears from flowing in the solitude of her bed, assailed by memories and regrets. More of a poison than remedy, she sought refuge in the night life. Be it at first temporarily oblivion with strong beverage, then accepting one-stand company in her apartment. Soon enough she crafted a charming mask of teasing and playfulness, growing more intricate by the years. Her appetite for skinship earned her a discreet reputation on the island, yet eclipsed by her professionalism and principles.
From the Calamity to Endwalker events : Reaching the skies
“In my distress, I remained deaf to the many tragedies brought by those dark-robed freaks. A fault I won't repeat"
Since the exodus, then the 7th Umbral Calamity, it became clear no nation had the strength to ensure the security of its citizen and culture. As a sanctuary of knowledge and far from the ongoing push of the Garlean Empire, Sharlayan remained relatively spared. Louisoix Leveilleur's plea to intervene in Eorzea was only meet with a rather general stoicism Byaphine mostly shared, still entrapped in her pain. A source of dissension with Archon Urfel, eager to disappear sometimes whole moons on "field trips". Most of the tragedies plaguing the three continents barely reached the veena's ears, something she would come to regret.The revelations following the Final Days on Etheirys' history and the generation-lasting project directing the island policy blown winds of change at last. Sharlayan's Forum vows of opening to other nations, while the reinforced alliance with the moon-dwelling loporrits brought wealth of new research opportunities. Yet, with the Scions of the 7th Dawn "officially" disbanded, voices and concern arose among the Rostra about vulnerability against unforeseen existential threat, more immediate defences if sparks of war ignite again.Thus the less secretive yet not openly publicized AEGIS program was created to ensure the isles defensive capacities. Not for themselves alone this time, the various research projects seeking collaboration with allies : Thavnair, the nascent Garlean Republic, and of course the Loporrits. Byaphine, with now more than half century spent serving Sharlayan's citizen, was assigned to two important projects. Her recognized skills put her this time on a lead researcher role usually taken by her mentor, now married and busy with fatherhood duties.And so she was the one overseeing the vast endeavor to retro-engineer an allagan A.I., with the close support of a very serious loporrit named Mendingway. Both long-eared fellow learned to work in tandem, surprisingly completing each other quite well in skills and characters. By the joint efforts of many teams the O.R.I.N. A.I came to be, each step and subroutine deeply scrutinized by ethical committee. The recent reform of Physis Technon after Guildivain's wrongdoing proved darkness followed closely enlightenment.Archon Urfel still insisted to dedicate one subroutine of this astronomically efficient calculating entity to help stabilizing his niece's aetherflow. At long last, she didn't have to drain herself with potent magicks anymore. The surplus rerouted to keep the formulas-inscribed arcanic geometries working, alongside enhancing technomagickal and somanoutical devices in her everyday work. In case emergency, she could still unbind this regulatory magick and unleash her tremendous aether, but at her own risks if O.R.I.N. isn't available to restore them.However, as much as she grew found on teasing her even shorter loporrit colleague Mendingway, the second project gave her back an old friend : the sky. An ongoing effort carried by the reformed Physis Technon aimed at improving sage's armaments. Due to her overabundant aetherpool now properly harnessed, the veena was top candidate for testing new prototypes. By embracing garlean-inspired schematics and seeking to explore new possibilities, the hastly named Icarus nouliths were a true revolution. The armament's aethersails displayed enough output for sustainable self-propulsion enabling flight when other designs allow brief dashes. The overly eager smol sage rediscovered the thrill of fending the skies on a whole different level, putting a long last genuine glee on her face. Other prototypes were also tested, with researchers now scrambling to adapt them for less aether-full users.

Post Endwalker main events : Blessed by the Cur[s]e
“Well, it was an eventful year for sure this one. Almost died, but also didn't felt that alive in decades"
When not busy in programming or chasing the clouds, Byaphine still held important position at Panacea's hospital. One day, something caught her attention while reviewing the requests register to assign new patients according to each medic's field of expertise. A direct request from an expatriate citizen, requesting urgent help for a veena under his care suffering acute aether leak. Little she could guess this peculiar case would be far more troublesome than getting some Forum's member in her office, which happened fairly often.It took months to gather the rare materials to complete a special remedy originating from Sui-no-Sato, any conventional mean in her arsenal unable to save this patient. She spent week sleeping in her office, monitoring closely with Mendingway and O.R.I.N. her kin slowly fading away. She even had to resort to extreme measures such as artificially induced coma, while facing pleas from the patient itself to die, mental breakdowns from some of her friends... Something able to stretch thin any hardened medic.Unable to leave her patient, she even missed the sad anniversary of her beloved's passing, usually visiting the cemetery he rest alongside their unborn child. Depressed and tired, she still found enough energy to answer in kind to the teasing jests of a limsian sailor part of the mercenaries recruited for the occasion. She was the first surprised to actually have a drink with the man, even more to see him the next morning still in her bed.An irredeemable oaf, but yet a caring man breaking through her intricated mask like his foes to reach her bled dry heart. Through woes from this rapidly souring case they started to tame each other, especially after an attack at her office left her gutted almost to death.The unmasking of a rogue Archon and his sympathizers within the Forum was the last push she needed to follow the signs send by the Lover. Byaphine left the islands, taking a undetermined leave for deserved rest and even more deserved love.As much as she wished to spend days (and nights) with her companion, she could hardly cut all her ties and obligations. As such, the crisis striking the Bestways Burrows saw go higher than ever before to assist Mendingway and his kin. The Brands siege by the encroaching voidsents saw her contribute through mech repairs and blasting a few invaders by herself.
By Dawntrails main events : Thunderstruck
“Lover knows I was as hopeful as scared to lose her. She was a fighter from the start."
Byaphine still enjoyed her moons of newfound freedom. She got herself quite busy still, engaged with the lomisian administration in a fierce battle. The Calamity wiped many things, including archives... And proof her citizenship. Only with that issue sorted she was allowed to buy a plot to build their loveden. Most of her free time went in furnishing and filling bottle racks to keep her man happy, then working on his health "issue" between lot of snuggles.This relatively housewifey lifestyle was good enough for her after decades dumped in workaholism... But the call of adventures once more rang with the Turali traderoute opening. Her beloved quite literally jumped on the first Maelstrom boat sailing west, leaving the smol viera for a time. A poorly timed one, as she came to a stunning realization.The medic was sure : she once more carried life. Firmly determined to not repeat past tragedy, she took all disposition within her reach to monitor closely their child development. In the meantime, news from the west brought worrisome tidings, but also words of technological wonders in a nation called Alexendria.Torn between her sense of precaution and the call of discovery, a letter of a uncle tipped the scale. A request to sail in a city of neons instead of gold, plagued by an aether-induced disease claiming many children. Strong with her expertise, Bya crossed the ocean direction the oddly-named Solution Nine.Despite some initial friction due to the cultural gap regarding souls, she rapidly adjusted to the place. Her magiteck prowess helped her grasp the fundamentals of electrope, and worked to improve children's condition. Far from a remedy still, but at least some ray of hope for the many worried families. Bya gained in turn precious new tools to further monitor her pregnancy, and lot of tasty mocktails. Few outsiders adapted to Solution Nine as fast as the veena, and for a time she considered moving there. Her mission came to a end once not-so-retired scions came out with a definitive cure, allowing her to rest and focus on her pregnancy.
After Dawntrails main events : Little Spark
“móðir is sorry my little sunshine... For not giving you a stable family, nor the health you deserve"
The birth of her long-awaited kit was up for a rough start. If not for her expertise and Mendingways, mother and child would've been lost in labor due to her inner bleeding. A worthy trial if you ask her, crying as soon as she held her baby named Màni.The infant health's soon became another big source of worries. Starting with repeated fevers, Byaphine's dread proved correct ; Màni's body aether was too strong, and strongly lightning-attuned on top of that. The symptoms being expertly addressed, the initial guilt and stress the mother felt slowly tawned. As the first moons passed, the child's constitution proved enough to withstand the stress, unlike her mother. Probably a gift from the kit's robust father.
Life finds a way
Credits : Cataoshi
The borderline overwhelmed smol could still rely on her trusty friend Mendingway and ORIN vigilance, but not as much on her now fiancé. Often sent away by his work, he also find himself caught time and time again in often violent matters to his seemingly delight... Until one of such issue saw the little family explicitly threatened. As a result, Byaphine had to live under permanent watch of a mercenary band. At first, she endured, but the issue eventually run on her nerves and a serious couple dispute erupted. Even sorted out eventually by a satisfying compromise, his sometime long absences slowly eroded their bond.With no sign of him slowing down as promised, she became increasingly anxious to see history repeat itself. The few times they managed to head outside, their relation were questioned, motivated by envy from the ladies he was so eager to bask in. After a lengthy and painful discussion, she finally had to accept her dream of a family would never come true with him.Even by parting of a mutual consensus and relatively good terms, the pain was as overwhelming as her love was genuine. She went back in her uncle's house in Sharlayan with Mani for a week. Only then she allowed herself to cry out loud her broken heart, to shed no tears afterwards. She could not afford to, with a baby kit to care for.
Present days : Small but mighty
“Guess I ain't allowed to say I'm getting too old for that shiet. Well, bring it on Fate !!"
With the best reason to fight, the tiny veena faces now head-on the multiple fights of a single mother, but not alone. Mendingway couldn't resolve themselves to scour the stars with the Cosmic Exploration Initiative by leaving them behind. A true friend, and the best colleague she could ask for. Even the sassy ORIN toned down its barbs on its own, as if the AI gained a sensibility to "fleshlings" plights.Still coping with her wound, Byaphine resumed her work as a local medic in Limsa, hoping at some point to move elsewhere. The burden of memories was thankfully offset by the formal invitation to join the C.E.I. after the first forward base was established. With enough accomodation to ensure suitable hab-pod conditions for a growing baby, Byaphine lended her well-regarded expertise to that cause far away from her Etheirys' woes. She still came back time to time, for Màni`s sake and visiting the ever growing Cyanaile family.
The smol (p)harmacist
Credits : Kevin
During one of such rest on the Star, the coffee and sheer will-powered young mother met a kin noticing her medical interest. It didn't take long for being introduced to a Sharlayan-based agency vowing to heal the many in need across the Star. Her initial reserve to be tied to Forum's whims was met with insurance she'd retain her full agency. And so, the small Archon joined Eumeryia, rekindling with mending without constrains as she did most of her existence.Sharing now her time between this new responsibility, the Initiative and her motherly duty, Byaphine's tendency for workholism came back full force. With coffee brewing the closest thing of a personal hobby, exhaustion was bound to put her in jeopardy. Admittedly, even her didn't saw this one coming. During a visit to the Cosmic Exploration forward base at that time, the hab-pod she was resting in got shaken by a terrible explosion. One of the ceruleum tank went ablaze, menacing to cause chain reaction. The sage recklessly went outside, leaving her child with Mendingway only to see the desolation wrecked by the detonation. Barely she had time to assess who could be saved another explosion struck.With split-second to react, her protective instinct kicked in, the binding of her aether sent loose. The sage erected the strongest barrier she could, only able to make it on time thanks to ORIN's enhancing her casting. What could've spelled her end turned out for the best, but still with dire cost. Many lives behind her and in the hab-pod were shielded from the blast, but those unfortunate to be too close of the tanks lost to flames. The sage herself suffered important burns and severe aether instability, but would live to see another day... and her baby.This unfortunate event forced her to reconsider her priorities and safety for her and Màni. Discharged from C.E. operations until further notice, her recovery and subsequent activities will have to be on the Star. No risk for her to be idle though, as her child's health is still source of concern. Then, recently, her expertise -and patience- are requested in a new place shrouded in mysteries. To be continued !

RP Hooks
1 - Smol cutie, (former) big liver
One can easily be fooled enough by her short size and rather cute attire to consider her as a viera teen. A bit less from her very womanly demeanors and the more obvious fact she's like a fish in her pond in bars and pubs. Those damn big aquamarine eyes are easy to lose oneself in contempt, she will gently bring to an end with a tease ! There is many ways to engage conversation with this petite madame. Still, paying her a drink with draw her attention without fail ! Be careful though ; her century-old experience made her apt to withstand surprising quantity of alcohol once, especially for such a lightweight. But her pregnancy made her lost quite the touch, and one might ends up handling a very drunk shorty.
At (second) home

2 – Magiteck nerd : ultimate
Left to her own devices, this veena can be seeing with a custom white-cased tomestone terminal in hand, a surprising artificial voice emanating from it time to time. More spectacular ever are the holographic projections she manifests casually with all kind of data. Her curious, scholastic mind will drawn her to anyone bearing unusual tech. Be careful though, especially if she has a drink in hand. She's can stay all night long talking about the latest aetherical supraconductor developed to boost propelling systems, the latest cosmosuit prototype or skallan-based crystal engraving for node cogitators... Wow, you're still here?
3 – Cheeky medic
Spending so much decades treating wounds and affliction is not without consequences. Despite keeping at core patient's well-being and preoccupations, she can sound quite detached (if not blunt) on physical matters, especially the intimate ones. She's hard to fluster : any kind of coyness is long gone in this shorty.
However, she's perfectly able to switch to a more serious and considerate behavior if someone ask her for medical advice. She is extra empathetic with children and mothers,especially now she has a little one of her own.
4 – The burden of knowledge
Being an Archon involved in rather important projects under Forum's supervision gave her access to confidential information about the Star and beyond tumultuous history. It's not rare for her to elude certain topics or avert her gaze in a thoughtful expression.If knowledge is to be shared, it doesn't mean with everyone. Aside critical situations, she will spare those entertaining her conversation the burden of paradigm-shifting, existential dread-inducing knowledge.
5 – Renowned medic
[ For characters tied to Old Sharlayan]
During her time serving as senior medic in Panacea, Byaphine treated a wealth of patients, from the minor affliction to near-desperate surgical intervention. Few are those on the island without a relative who visited at least once her office.Notwithstanding any rumors about her night habits, her patients described her as a very caring and human person, using lightweight jest to ease their worries but also clear and considerate in passing diagnostics. She was also the kind of taking time to lend a ear to personal woes during her appointments, a quality coming by rare in an institution this big.With an accumulated experience on mending arts going above a century and half, no surprise she was entrusted with an inert sage crystal to pass on her knowledge to future generations.
6 – Strong-willed Archon
[For characters related to Old sharlayan intelligentsia]
Her involvement in the political turmoil following the actions of a rogue and his supporters among the Forum is not the first time her name arose in the Rostra. Quite opposed to blind dogmas, she considers her patient's well-being has priority on established laws and very heavy bureaucracy. Hopefully, her "uncle" Archon Cyanaile and his wife currently sitting in the Forum had the knack to make her collaborate without too much of a fuss.Despite the rather tense relation she can have with figures of authority, her service records for Sharlayan are on honorable side. As such, she enjoys a certain degree of liberty in her actions fitting her seniority. Her recent moving outside the isles and involvement in Eumeryia agency and CE Initiative only reinforced her status as free operative.
7 – The cosmic fairy
[For characters involved in C.E. initiative]
Few time after its inception, Byaphine was invited to contribute in the Cosmic Exploration initiative due to her ties with the loporrits and skillset. Màni being too young, the shorty saw little of the wonders uncovered by the many teams sent up there at first. Her researches on good ol' Etheirys was still appreciated, until enough advancement was made to ensure the baby's safe growth in the moon's hab-pods.Since, she acted both as a researcher and field medic, with mediation between loporrits and other races on the side. After the dramatic ceruleum tank accident seeing her gravely injured, she was relieved from full duties. She still help time to time, though, while her name is put in high regard by the staff for the many she saved that day
Un-hook – A question of ethos
Her longevety gave her plenty exemple of people losing themselves and what they standed for. Well-aware of the dark deeds her resources and knowledge could do if missused, she forged herself a rigorous set of ethics. As such, she doesn't take on lightly her medical and research integrety being questionned.In parallel, her piety toward Menphina reinforces love and compassion as her cardinal values.As such, Byaphine will glare (at best) to any person showing little to no consideration to human life, ranging from murder hobbo to scientist of dubious principles -garlean or not-. Less marked but still frowned upon, the cheaters or marriage-breakers are other potential target to her barbs and ire.Recently, she can look pretty detached if not jaded by the most flirtatious of the crop talking to her.
Network
[Living compendium of the shorty's closest contacts, from her backstory to played characters close to her !]
Ilvex Duimione
A fellow Archon specialised in Allagan history the shorty met quite far from Sharlayan. She own this jack being dragged in both Eumeryia and a strange coven of their kin.Still pondering if she's grateful for that, Bya nonetheless found a good friend in him, and actually someone older than her - a rarity.

Runic Hearthunderblade
This lomisian's rough looking and unusually tall miqo'te made teasing, brawling and strong beverage his lifestyle. Yet, as a certain viera discovered, he carries heavy burdens he carefuly hides. His loyalty to his friends and Maelstrom crew translated very well in love blooming in dire time.Even if short lived, a drop even in a viera lifespan, their relationship made her grow past her previous wounds. It also gifted her the greatest of treasures : her baby Màni.
Màni Frenecu
Almost a full year this kit gave a lot of worries -and smiles- to her mother ! Gifted with aether (or mists) overabundance, the baby however turned to be robust enough to endure it. The surprising blonde coloration and very small ears looks a bit at odd with her parents... But her jolly nature and the almost fearsome speed she chugs any milk are sure coming from them. Careful though, as Byaphine's hair found out, this "little spark" can already manifest small levin discharges unvoluntarily!
[background character]

Mendingway
This assured and sarcastic loporrit ended up in Sharlayan alongside a delegation of his kind. Once surgeon by design in Bestways Burrow, he turned to medical tool researches a long time ago due the dire lack of work. Keenly interested to Hydaelyn children's never ending stream of ideas, he decided to stay on the Star. Nagging and verbal jousting with Byaphine at every turn, he still shown his genuine care of a friend during woes and moments of happiness.
Operative and Responsive Intelligent Node : O.R.I.N.
O.R.I.N. is a complete Allagan A.I. retroengineering made possible by a joint venture between Sharlayan's magiteck researcher and their moon allies loporrits. Still in active development, its original purpose as a defensive overseer for the isles was scaled down - for now. A major breakthrough in its capacities and seemingly true sentience was achieved by using engraved white auracites as processing cores, raising some concerns. The quite sassy personality it developed doesn't facilitate its cooperation with anyone aside Urfel, Byaphine and Mendingway recognized as ///developer/creator/// As such, the long-eared fellow kept an access to most of O.R.I.N.'s subroutines and hardwares despite their "undetermined unpaid leaves".
Archon Urfel [Ur-Fael] Cyanaile
[Background character]
This Xalea of strange copper tan and fluffy tail is surrounded by a calm and timeless aura. In fact, despite his rather young appearance, Byaphine refers to him as uncle since half a century now... This mystery is however eclipsed by his extensive knowledge on aetheromancy and magiteck. His wisdom and diplomatic skills pushed him more than once to sit in the Forum. Yet, few years ago he married a fierce little Raen named Clephy. More accurately, /she/ married him. Feared for her temper and her fascination for firearms, the miss knows how to make him dance in her palm... And take care of a ever-growing family of little au'ras. Byaphine can always rely on them for help and advises in troubled time... And parental advices.
Arsenal: tools to mend, tools to slap
[This section expose some of the advanced tools to the shorty's disposal ! It is by no mean exhaustive nor especially up to date, the lil' nerd always coming with new blueprints and concepts]
/// Recon module Mk.0.2.7. Creator Frenecu will soon make it to 0.2.8. with her high-risk task assignements. A simple garlean magitek bit chassis was found suitable enough in its specs to hold several sub-routines and survey equipement. How degrading. Data suggest its appearance does not trigger suspicion about this unit identity, but within 95.0% confidence interval about Creator Frenecu aesthetic ta-- /// "HEY SHUT IT YOU DAMN TOASTER" /// Ugh. Fleshlings.///
Icarus Mk.2 prototype armament
One of the first field-tested prototype from AEGIS subproject dedicated to improve sage nouliths.This rather balanced module use aetherfield accelerators inspired by garlean rotating magiteck guns design to disperse somanoutic formulas. Massive addercrystals are yet encased in the frames in a reverse orientation compared to conventional armament. The decreased spell potency is traded for higher propelling capacities, effectively making the first armament with true flying capacity.
Iliachtida "sunbeams" Mk.1 prototype armament
This design abandon the addercrystal base completely for a higly classified new type of catalyst. The complex machinery inside those nouliths are very demanding in maintenance, increasingly so as the impressive aether output achieved deteriorate components at alarming rate.
Yet, its flying capacity is unmatched by any other prototype, with far less trade-off with somanoutic potency like the Icarus. The magnifying aetherglass lenses also increase the operative range, alongside its destructive potential with aetherbeams.
Teichos "the walls" Mk.1 prototype armament
This prototype puts heavy burden on its wielder, reducing their mobility when deployed. Of limited offensive capacity and baseline somanoutic output, the bulky addercrystals are engraved to enhance barrier magicks. A sage with this armament can effectively turns in a walking shield bubble, ensuring allies safe haven and field treatment in the direst conditions.
"Only a foolish idealist would deny the merits of surgical strike to prevent greater harm."
Timoria "retribution" mk.0.5
Image credits: Wan Chao
Crafted with the help of exiled garlean researchers and ishgardian machinists, those fearsome aether-bullets sub-machine guns display impressive fire-rate for equally demanding energy. While ongoing development now struggle to manage adequate magazine, a certain Archon crammed with aether found a very enticing pair of "pacification" tools.
The "mech-nagerie"
Since the AEGIS program's inception, a project focus on retrofit then improve on Garlean magiteck walkers. The long-eared team got involved as ORIN was considered for controlling full wings of automated guardians. If it only briefly came to be, Byaphine and Mendingway developped mecha building and tuning as sort of a hobby. A passion coming in a handy with the Cosmic Exploration soaring further and further from the Star.///Creators of course omited to mention the several prototypes and fully completed units in their possession to their hierarchy. Sound decision, as they are suitable vessels for my might///
Project Chtapodia
Confronted with radical environment with variable gravity, Cosmic Exploration sages found nouliths use highly difficult if not unreliable for precise interventions. By their own initiative as free operatives, Byaphine and her loporrit associate developped a suit and exo-backpack holding height retractable and articulated magiteck arms. Manning so many artificial limbs yet put terrible strain on the user's brain. ORIN subroutines were integrated in an auxiliary cogitator to offset that burden.First tests on Etheirys, then Phaenna demonstrated the impressive arcanic geometry precision with a mounted addercrystal set. Simultaneously, the four remaining arms allowed increasing mobility and tool manipulation. The recent investigations on the gravity-torn Oizys dragged huge interest for the prototype. A streamlined and simplified version with only four adder-arms is currently in development.
Magick and Ethos
Credits : Goddard-cherily
Ethos : Paradoxa Hortos, a singular oath
Far before swearing her somanoutical oath, the little healer already developed a strong set of principle guiding her hand when providing relief... or mercy.Life is sacred It's perhaps the core tenet shared by all medic. For Byaphine, it takes precedence on authorities' say in that matter : breaking in the Noumenon's restricted levels weight nothing against saving a patient. It of course caused her some issues...Yet, this vocation intertwined with her faith also acts as a safeguard against temptations of hubris from time pasts. She refuses to cross the line of cloning and other controversial Allagan bioengineering techniques. Despite her admiration for their creative spirit, she is stark critic of their disregard for life. The veena remains cautious to anyone (or anything) claiming their ties to the eld empire.All lives /should be/ equal This conviction is what pushed her to leave to woods so long ago. As such, she tended to anyone in need, regardless their background or prestige. This also apply to herself, seeing in any medic her equal. Alongside her defiance to blind authority, it's what motivated her to place her Archon's mark by her right hip. Those able to see it are usually not in need of medical attention, their usually on other things...In front of triage's terrible burden, she acts on diagnostics first and foremost. Yet, she can't deny children shall be prioritized over an elder.Paradoxically perhaps, she would reluctantly tend to sentient beings not belonging to the spoken races. Her lack of extensive knowledge on their traits makes her worry doing more harm than good with her Physis.Free will shall be respected The smol sage doesn't believe one's options to recovery should be imposed by healers on their expertise alone. Instead, she ensures her patients are thoroughly informed of different possibilities and their consequences at the best of her knowledge.This trait can be seen as cynical time to time, as Byaphine won't push on someone her services despite elements warranting serious concern. She offers assistance, but it is for the one concerned to take the decision to take that end or continue their lifepath, even drastically shortened.Up to this day, enforcing treatments on patients plagued with mental ailment gives her strong ethical questions despite the obvious alteration of their reasoning.In agency lies responsibility Be it with the means to save lives or taking them. The burden of choices is one she shall carry without complain, without reward aside the sentiment of doing the right thing. As such, she doesn't bind herself to the oath "Thou shall not harm" for the grave act of putting one life down can be outweighed by saving many.
Medical skillset
Byaphine's long life dedicated to heal the spoken races made her gain experience in various medical traditions. Her time in Sharlayan made her refine the knowledge and practices gleaned across the Star and bloom as a renowned omni-pratician.Medical toolsHer magitecknology affinity permeate every aspect of her healing arts. She uses an ever growing tool panoply from various time and places, even some she developped herself. More impressively is the way she pulls them out seemingly out of thin air through cracking distortions. A striking and absolute coincidental ressemblence with Allagan storage matrix she'd assure anyone asking.Aether healingBack in the woods, her curative mistweaving was somewhat close to Gridanian elementalists ways. Something she seldom could verify, given their persistance to turn her down when she settled near. Her curiosity and travels made her dip a bit in arcanima, but nothing substantial. Her magickal paradigm completely shifted upon entering the Studium, embracing the somanoutics as a natural evolution of her carreer.Half a century passed since, her aether overabundance harnessed and experience turning the smol to a highly regarded sage. Magick remains her strong suit, but is used with reason after a thorough diagnosis, bet it from noulith or her extensive anatomical knowledge.SurgerySecond cornerstone of her medical practice with somanoutics and alchemy, Byaphine learned the modern practice at that time thanks to an Isghardian physician.Her sanitization protocols only went increasingly stricter since then, as she performed an impressive number of operations. From minor procedures to day-long critical intervention, she saw it all. Until now, her ethical considerations made her reluctant to use advanced magitecknology perform instead of her hand.AlchemyHer initial training as salve-maker then her many travels bringing her in Ul'dha and Thavnair turned the smol as proficient alchemist. Since her time in Sharlayan, she dedicated this art to support her Physis. Her deep knowledge on active component extraction allows her to synthetise potent remedies despite suboptimal raw material. Yet, her tendancy to automatize certain processes made her less efficient if deprived of her advanced tool...Conversely, her sure hand does wonder when it comes to elemental crystals refining and subsequent engraving. Still, there is persistent rumors about her tinkering with far more dangerous cristalline matter.ProstheticsThe most recent addition to her healing arsenal. Her burning interest for magitecknology made her spend countless nights trying her hand on artificial limbs' delicate crafting. She also successfully replicated more advanced devices from Allagan blueprints. Her best work so far is a peculiar choker able to turn the slightest body aether fluctuation into words...TherapyThis sage is no stranger to invisible scars left on one's mind. Despite being not so proficient in this field she will gladly take appointment if asked and no one more qualified is around.///Creator got the worst results among her promotion. Barely passable. Ridicule. Pit--silence mode enabled///
Signature magick : Omnicro Anagennisi, mending down to the cells.
The smol veena's peculiar condition turned into a force. Her researches in somanoutical arcane geometries achieved to bring highly theorical fomulas miniaturization to practical use.The stabilized geometry Fraktal enable curative formulas reduction to a fraction of their size while keeping their structure. It effectively enable mending down to the micro-level, at the base constituant of living beings : cells. By doing so, the usual drawbacks of indiscriminate regeneration through body aether stimulation are avoided. Only the area of concern is touched, sparing uneeded strain on the patient's aether. Sane tissues can be stimulatated to regrow in an optimal form instead of natural -and often suboptimal- scar processes. Reduced bone fractures can be rewelded seamlessly, skin burn healed without a trace left, etc...This breakthrough in somanoutics possibilities yet remain costly to achieve. The smaller the scale it is applied, the aether needed increase exponentially. As such, only those blessed with anomaleously large aetherpool or with constant supply can perform this geometry without risk for them and their patient. In addition, its sheer complexity to manifest and precision required for controlling it restrain its safe use to medical rooms.Even with her plentiful aether and great focus, Byaphine can only perform this medical feat periodically, leaving her completely drained afterward.
[OOC : inspirations and principles]
[This section is to give the reader an idea of the principles and limitations this shorty's capacities are based on. It is only for information purpose, and by no mean here to impose any opinion.]Byaphine's knowledge take direct inspiration from modern medecine and pharmaceutics when it comes to surgery and alchemy. It drawn from her clear orientation toward FF XIV most science-fantasy oriented settings.She also consider body aether as flux circulating in an organic way, much like tradionnal medecine in Asia. Regarding aether/mist behavior in the environment, the smol sage analyse them as "aetherwaves", borrowing from modern physic. Resonance between a patient's body aether and her spells is a baseline condition her magick seek to achieve potency. A certain JRPG Tales of the Abyss highly influenced this take.More importantly, magick is only a tool with its limitations and not a miracle solution. Her capacities are quite aligned with this Aether healing 101 document.Finally, and I can't stress it enough : I am not a physician of any kind. Thus, anything said by the smol is only documented fiction. In the eventuallity your character come to interact as a regular patient, I will ask to check this form (link TBD) to ensure sane RP instead of nefarious IC/OOC bleeding.

But firm limit shall be drawn as clear as possible.My RP is pure fiction, documented the best I can. Once again, I am by no mean a medical professional, so don't take as such any line my bun could sayMy character can deal with mature and heavy themes.

About lore-bending, lore-breaking
My characters are either lore compliant or light-lore bending, as I love to explore possibilities offered by caveats in lore. Even a bit of "what if" ! I still try to stick to established information I am aware of. As such, I am more than ok with characters of same design.Lore-breaking characters are harder for me to interact with, due for the lack of references and familiar hooks to work with. I'll manage in certain case, for example playing with my characters' lack of knowledge (harder with Bya). If not, I will quietly have my bun disengage. Everyone has their preferences, and that's okay !THE Warrior or Light or canon character interpretation are my only hard limit. You can still engage with my characters, but they will quickly move away.
Type of writing
A lot of misspelling and mistakes. Will prefer concise to medium replies in game as a base, but I can adapt ! Lenghty texts are perfectly fine on discord.

Character goals
Byaphine is designed first and foremost as a support character. She's easy to recruit for adventures with high risks where her medical skills might be needed. Of course, she's also up for shiet and giggles as a cheeky lil' lass here for a good time. She's also fitted for calmer interactions like one to one appointments, be it for physical or psychological distress. She's romanceable, but it's by no mean her main stake.
