Vierge Siebzhen

Khunbish Mol, or Vierge to those who know their stage name, is a reserved but kind xaelic luthier and bard.
They are unfortunately afflicted with more than one condition: the "Cycle" which temporarily transforms their physicality, and the "Balance" which renders their natural, "real" self subject to the whims of a deeper consciousness - one that was aetherically programmed into them prenatally by a mysterious organization.Currently they are with their fiancé, Kauv Kha, staying on the outskirts of the Black Shroud until they can be cleared of crimes of murder...

Vlaine Falconnoix

Vlaine Falconnoix is an Ishgardian inspector in the world of Final Fantasy XIV.
The middle child of a well-to-do Ishgardian family of brewmasters, Vlaine went to train in Coerthas to become a knight. When he awoke in the middle of the night to pain and bleeding in his left eye, he found it was now blind, but able to see aetheric signatures of living beings. Leaving the knighthood for fear of being accused as a heretic, Vlaine set upon a path more aligned with his heart, and became an inspector.
Vlaine takes cases for various reasons, and is a prolific guest columnist for many of the periodicals distributed in Eorzea, having a recurring "Your Fellow Eorzean" column in the Mythril Eye, in which he transcribes conducted interviews with denizens. He prefers those cases that can be construed as just or truth-revealing, and values justice, even if that does sometimes mean going above the law...
Vlaine often travels and takes cases with his assistant and junior inspector, Tamzin, with whom he is also romantically involved.

Marja Sechzhen

Marja Sechzhen is a bardic viera within the world of Final Fantasy XIV.
They are afflicted with La Canzone Eterna, which forces aether to flow through them and back out again. They act as a closed accumulator of this current which slowly sickens them...unless they release it in small amounts by singing, dancing, rhyming or playing an instrument. Their REM patterns are rhythmic when they are unconscious, extending the curse to their sleep.
Marja is a bit of a gypsy, never staying in one place, loving to intermingle with people and hear their stories. She is very friendly and youthful at heart, kind and curious. She can be seen most often tapping at a small, muted drum to keep herself hale and focused.
If she is not conveying musicality the effects can become quite painful to her, so her speech is littered with rhyme and rhythm. On the other hand, very clever rhymes or full on songs can increase her capacity for aetherflow and give her more of a break, which can come in very handy for combat situations.
Despite that, Marja prefers to avoid fighting and support allies from afar, making use of healing magics as necessary. Her unique attunements contribute to any style of release, be they founded in the teachings of thaumaturgy, conjury, blue magics, or even green magics as she calls them, and she enjoys acting as a versatile member of a party for hire.
She ever travels looking for a way to end her curse other than by the default method, which - to her knowledge - involves finding a suitable inheritor and passing it on. Dying is not optional, as once deceased, she would not be able to rhyme or keep a beat; the aether would build up until it peaked, resulting in...well, no one knows.
Currently she can be found simply travelling, just about anywhere across Eorzea, though she has oft made an easy home in the dense forests of the Black Shroud.
