Hi Sarah! I'm Vicki, and I have three boys for ya~
Kiernan (wingsofwyverns) is a 39-year-old dragoon who used to be in the Rangers up until about eight years ago. Now, he's a Dragon Rider with a dragon named Lucy who enjoys setting him on fire. Most of the time, he deserves it, tbh. XD IDK what James' exact timeline is so depending on that, they may or may not have been in the Rangers together, but Kiernan's usually around and being guildmates, I imagine that they'd at least know OF each other. I also have no clue if they'd be friends/friendly or not. Kiernan is a generally nice and cheerful and outgoing guy, especially over the past decade (when he was in the Rangers, he was a Brooder), and he tends to be seen as obnoxious by the more serious types because of it. XDDD Up to you!
Merrion (merrymage), or Merri, is a 31-year-old red mage and a councilor for the Mages Guild. He's a derp, best friends with Drake, one of the FG councilors, a hypochondriac, clumsy, and nice to a fault. Comes complete with self-esteem issues, too. ;;; His innocence and naivete have been slowly eroding away over the course of the game with all the things that have gone down, but his core of Friendly Derp has remained solid at least. I have future plans that might take him down the road of helping out the Rangers if you want to establish a line for them that way, but Merri actually getting to that point is MONTHS in the future, too.
Sky (gotsomebite) is 16 years old and a thief. WELP. The biggest connect he has to the FG is through his twin brother Pyr (twinclaws) who is a squire but generally, considering his class, he avoids most FG types when and where he can, except when it comes to trolling purposes. He works for Loch (cutandthrust) at the docks. I don't know what we can do here, but I'm always open to ideas and suggestions!
I'm not going to be around too much this week, but starting Monday my life will be significantly less chaotic. That said, feel free to drop me an email or an IM or what have you! blackholeinfinity11 [at] gmail [dot] com
