And the Arc VI destination is...


Hello, hello! Eid Mubarak if you celebrate & happy Friday if you don't! Voting for our Arc VI destination has now closed and, with 23 votes in favour and 7 against, the winner by a waterslide is... The Sunken.

All hail our moist overlord.

Indicatively, Arc VI should last roughly 10 weeks and will kick off after part II of our train ride mystery — for which you will get further details on 24 April, along with a list of clues uncovered and shared ICly by their discoverers so far. There will be a test drive event & an app round after the train journey.

To help prepare your character's triage and entrance into the Arc VI moist madness, please optionally fill out the following at some point over the next two weeks:

CHARACTER | CANON: Stephanivien de Haillenarte | Final Fantasy XIV

IS YOUR CHARACTER ABLE TO USE OR PERCEPTIVE OF
TIME TRAVEL: Nope
ILLUSIONS: He'd be familiar with them, but wouldn't be able to immediately detect them.
BLOOD MAGIC: ...Technically should be capable of? There isn't any magic strictly powered blood in FFXIV, but there are definitely cases of blood being used as a channel/amplifier (though it's usually Very Frowned Upon for its ties to other, bad magic behaviors... like summoning voidsent), and it is known that the natural magic/aether reserves of the races of Eorzea can be drawn out through their blood, perfectly naturally. As in, this is something bats do. He'd need to be taught, though, it't not something he's ever personally investigated or messed with.
tl;dr : his blood is magical but he's never done anything with it

MEMORY STATUS:

2. Memories confused to know they are themselves, but think they arrived and decided to stay in the village some time ago.

OR

3. Memories unchanged, but they have a deep sense of rightness about staying in the village (for now).

I'm happy to go with whichever options between the two is less popular.

WHAT IS ONE OF YOUR CHARACTER'S BIGGEST REGRETS? I'm not entirely certain he has one? Stephanivien very determinedly makes up his mind and sticks to his guns.

Possibly the death of his younger brother Chlodebaimt, but.... 1) It was in battle for the defense of a keep that Chlodebaimt was the commander of, while actively at war. 2) By all accounts, his brother gave a brilliant last stand that saved a ton of the people under his command and allowed them to flee, and 3) Stephanivien wouldn't have been in any position to change or affect the outcome of that situation, regardless

LIVING ASSIGNMENTS: RNG!

I guess 3 for memory status, then, since of the two options that seems to be less popular.

...I'm assuming I can't go with no regrets? It's just not clear that he actually has one, or at least one that is shared in-game with the player.

Eh, that might be for the best. If it's not too much trouble, I think I'll go with no regrets.
