Dramatis Personae

Jenis Filcobrant

  • Name: Jenis Filcobrant

  • Race: Dunesfolk Lalafell

  • Age: 34

  • Gender: Male (pronouns: he/him)

  • Sexuality: Asexual

  • Nameday: 9th Sun of the 2nd Astral Moon

  • Likes: Reading, cooking, alchemy, tea, Tasha

  • Dislikes: Idiots, a lack of respect, adventuring in general

  • Physical Description: Jenis is a Dunesfolk Lalafell; standing at 3'2", he's considered tall for a lalafell; while he's not overweight, some could perceive him as stocky. He has fine brown hair with orange highlights, with a tuft of hair sticking out at the crown of his head. His skin is fair, bordering on olive, and he has olive-green glassy eyes that are typical of the Dunesfolk.
    Jenis prefers wearing robes, and his current favourite one is one made of astral silk. However, when practising alchemy, he switches to a long white coat to protect himself from the caustic materials he tends to employ.

  • First Impression: If he looks at you with contempt, be thankful he's at least deigned to gaze upon you. Jenis claims he's a Master of alchemy, a title he unfortunately earned through his love for the craft. He carries himself like he's several malms above everyone, but if one manages to get on his good side -- a rare feat indeed -- he can become a loyal and trusted friend.

An only child, Jenis lived with his family, who was part of a very close-knit nomadic tribe. At a very young age, he discovered that he had an aptitude for Conjury -- the ability to feel the elemental spirits around him and to use their power -- a revelation that brought joy to his parents and his tribe. However, Jenis wanted nothing of it, and he fought to close his senses off to the spirits; he was only partially successful, and perhaps as an act of retribution from those elemental forces, he found that everytime he was forced to use Conjury, he would end up with a splitting migraine that would render him useless for a few days.Jenis then discovered the art of alchemy, and he embraced it as a way to "perform magic without resorting to elementalism". His family was extremely disappointed in him, and as a result of the increasing pressure to foster his conjury, he left the tribe and travelled to the three city-states in an effort to find someplace to call home.After becoming involved with the events leading up to the Calamity and seeing his guild get destroyed, Jenis quit adventuring out of fear, preferring to settle in Ul'dah with his new wife, Anastasha Kalfas.

Seseiba Seba

  • Name: Seseiba Seba

  • Race: Dunesfolk Lalafell

  • Age: 75

  • Gender: Female (pronouns: she/her)

  • Sexuality: Asexual

  • Nameday: 7th Sun, 1st Astral Moon (January 7)

  • Likes: Sweet drinks, tea, her home, warm places, karma

  • Dislikes: Disrespectful people, having to "blend in"

  • Physical Description: Though she stands at a mere 2'10" and looks incredibly youthful for her age, don't let this dark-skinned, silver-eyed lalafell fool you into a false sense of security lest she decide that you'd make a decent ice statue. She tends to favour lightweight, purple-coloured robes, clothing worn in her homeland of Meracydia.

  • First Impression: Seseba looks young at first glance, and her broken, very accented Eorzean can seem off-putting to some.

One's first impression of Seseiba is that she's a youthful lalafell with a calm and pleasant demeanour. Both are incorrect. While she can be cordial with strangers, she has very little tolerance for fools, and with few exceptions, will not hesitate to demonstrate why she was known as the Ice Witch in her homeland.Seseiba is a Black Mage from Meracydia, a continent to the south shrouded in secrecy. Her situation is peculiar as she was born blind, but with the gift of aethersight instead. She can see outlines of objects and beings infused with aether, along with a desaturated semblace of their hue; otherwise, she is completely blind, using a small dragonet she's trained over the years to be her eyes.Rarely taking students, she eventually did take one who would later be known as Glitchy Aster, one who proved to be one of her greatest challenges. Though they were often at odds, she did manage to teach him the art of black magery, mentoring him until he left their homeland.For reasons unclear to all but herself, Seseiba decided to follow Glitchy to Eorzea. She claims it's because she wanted to experience the world outside of Meracydia, but the truth as to why she actually did so remains unknown.Soon after Glitchy opened the Apothecafe, Seseiba paid him a visit at his new endeavour. Noting how busy the place was, she volunteered to work there, again for unknown reasons.
