Who Is A'madi Phyra?A'madi, or just Madi for short, is an Ul'dahni native of Ala Mhigan descent 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.Nowadays she works with a shadowy consortium of like-minded individuals, though she often finds herself the most mundane of the group. Madi has very little aether and can't really manipulate it at all. In a world of magic and monsters, Madi hones her body instead: she's a great shot with her sidearm revolver and has a stable of tricks and tools to fight her way out of a bad situation. If asked though, Madi would say her most important skill is 'luck': she's a master of improv, and often makes it by day-to-day just by using whatever's around her and a little ingenuity instead of just firing first.On top of her working with her current mysterious company, Madi does make an honest living to pad her savings: she'll often write articles for city papers, independent publications, and academic journals! Anything from urgent updates on world events to exposés on corrupt people in positions of power could be the subject of Madi's pen, though this has led to making just as many enemies as it has friends. Madi always 'knows a guy', but whether that guy likes her is another story. It'd be easier to lay low and just do her regular job snooping for the consortium... but someone's gotta poke at the corrupt underbelly of capitalism, right?Essential Info:Gender/Sexuality: Female/Bisexual

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

Madi can throw a mean punch and carries a few daggers just in case, but beyond that is pretty much a regular person! However, a collection of oddities and relics are what often end up giving Madi the leg up, with the ones listed here being her most faithful sidearms:1. G18 Clipper Revolver - A piece of equipment designed without the safety of the user in mind, the Clipper fires gunbreaker cartridges in a handheld package. All six chambers can hold their own cartridge, allowing for some level of flexibility in what the wielder can do, but it also means the user must have a grip of steel and great technique, otherwise the user will take just as much damage as the target. There is a crystal in the handle that actively works to stabilize when firing, but... if the cartridge fired isn't aetherically charged in advance, the stabilizer doesn't kick in. Be careful!2. Soyokaze - Made of darksteel, this large ridged bat looks as if it would be far too heavy for a person of Madi’s size to wield. However, the extraordinary part of it is not the external make, but the aetheric makeup: from a power source as of yet unknown to Madi, a swirl of wind-aspected aether keeps the gear aloft for Madi and assists with her swings, making it hit harder and feel weightless in her hands. This weightlessness is via attunement, however… Madi is connected to it, but anyone else who tries will have to bear the full weight of the metal.
