A'madi "Maddie" Phyra

Explorer, Journalist, and Thief Archaeologist


Who Is A'madi Phyra?A'madi, or just Madi/Maddie for short (either spelling is fine), is an Ul'dahni native with street smarts and curiosity in equal measure. Growing up on the streets of such a city led her to be rather tough, but her eagerness to both learn new things and right the injustices of the world soften what you would expect to be a thorny exterior.If asked, she'd say her most important skill is 'luck': Madi's a master of improv, and often makes it by day-to-day just by using whatever's around her and a little ingenuity.One rather amusing flaw in Madi's curiosity is the insatiable urge to collect unique gadgets and artifacts. A habit inspired by her late father, Madi will go to great lengths to acquire neat little trinkets, especially if they happen to belong to corrupt individuals in need of a little humbling. Using that trademark luck and some creative application of her trinket collection, Madi gets by just fine.Nowadays she does work for hire as needed, but is more often scoping out the next intriguing gadget or artifact to add to her collection. One day Madi might strike out to explore an uncharted ruin based solely on a few rumors, the next day she might break into an auction house attend an auction and steal the cool stuff add a few items to her collection. She lives on whims alone, which makes her just as many allies as it does enemies....okay, maybe it makes more enemies than allies....okay okay, it's mostly enemies. Let's not worry about that part.On top of her collecting habits, Madi does make an honest living to pad her savings: she'll often write articles for independent publications and academic journals about anything from her findings out in the field to exposés on corrupt people in positions of power. This... also hasn't made her a ton of friends, but she tries not to worry about it. Someone's gotta poke at the corrupt underbelly of capitalism, right?Essential Info:Gender/Sexuality: Female/Bisexual

OOC InfoHello! As an RPer (10 years of experience!), I've done plenty of storylines either as a player or a DM. I've made my own plotlines, combat systems, and have played in more genres of story than I can reasonably count. With that in mind, I'm very flexible with what goes on with Madi during RP! Be it action, slice-of-life, comedy, romance, darker themes, whatever it may be, I've done it and will happily do it again! Madi is a very new character with little established history, so if you think you would know her or want to have some sort of prior history with her, that's very possible! Just check out my 'About Me' page to find my contact info and reach out!Madi's Backstory:If you'd like to be spoiled on Madi's life story (mainly flashbacks involving her relationship with her father), then feel free to read these little drabbles! If you'd rather learn organically, that's fine too! Just posting it here for posterity, really.

  • Hello! You can actually call me Maddie (it's my real name toooooo) but I also go by my discord username, Punchfrog. I play on Balmung with sporadic hours, although I'm a teacher so my hours are slightly more regular during school months. If you're interested in RPing, lemme know! Here's how to reach me:

  • 1. In game, I play on A'madi Phyra (shocking, I know). Just do a player search if you're looking for me or use my discord, which is the next option on the list!

  • 2. I usually have access to discord all the time, even though I may be busy with IRL obligations at the time still. My discord is Punchfrog, feel free to friend me or message me! Maybe just mention you're coming from FFXIV when you first message me though. <3

  • Lemme know if you ever wanna play or just hang out, I'm usually game! I have also made some low-math RP combat systems for use in FFXIV RP if you're interested, so you can always hit me up to learn about my systems! Either way, hope to see you in game sometime! <3 <3 <3
