Annie Talo


Botanist - Dark Knight - friend


SPOILERS AHEAD


About

Born in Sharlayan to exiled Viera parents, Annie was a Sharlayan scholar in the field of botany, studying the aetherochemical properties and applications of various herbs across the realm.
This was, of course, until the Seventh Umbral Calamity, occurring when Annie was around 21. While most of Sharlayan was stirred into a fervor by Louisoix's non-isolationist actions, Annie was greatly inspired by him. Once she finished her studies and gained her Archon Mark at 23, she left for Eorzea to become an adventurer, arriving in Ul'dah around the time of ARR.

Gposes

I'm still very new to gposing, so this section will be blank for a while! Pardon my (lack of a) mess!

out of character

I'm Anne, (but Annie works just as well!) an omnicrafter and aspiring raider!
I'm on CST, and am free most times after 6:30 or so. I currently work IC at The Apothecafe as a chef and am glad to RP with you both on and off the job!
I'm only decently familiar to RP, but I'm always open to DMs and /tells.
Annie is a very different character than I am OOC, so her tone may not be the most consistent! If you ever have a problem with the way I RP, don't be afraid to tell me! And feel free to ask any lore or character clarification questions!

A realm reborn

In the WoL timeline, everything goes about normally storywise in ARR. She starts as a Red Mage, and is in relatively high spirits until the events of the banquet that lead into Heavensward.

heavensward

Following this, her mental state is shattered, and she blames a lack of strength. She tosses the rapier aside for the greatsword, taking up under the pretense of revenge. Throughout the events of the expansion and the DRK quests, however, she realizes that her current path will only lead to ruin. She embraces the love that truly guides her blade, and promises to fight for justice and change through love and understanding, not bloodshed.

WIP(TLDR: her new mindset is tested fiercely by zenos, and she laments the death of someone she wishes she could've saved)

WIP
(TLDR: the Light permanently sears the tips of her hair white and she falls in love with G'raha Tia during what she thinks may be her final moments)

endwalker

WIP
(TLDR: she finally understands zenos at the edge of existence, and it both emboldens her and breaks her, and the aether of the edge of existence fills in the cracks left by the Light, permanently turning her freckles to stars that glow on her skin)

the botanical adventurer

After coming to Ul'dah, she joins the Adventurer's Guild and starts taking up various jobs. She takes up Red Magic during this time. Since then, she's traveled the star in search of both adventure and the most interesting botanical specimens. She lives in Ishgard, and has a sort-of schoolgirl crush on Ser Aymeric.
