"The helper seeks to help, for he knows what it is to be helpless." FFXIV account for Forwin Tyrell, Warrior of Light! (ft. associated OCs) Zeph | He/Him | ENG/FR | Exodus | Midlander | BRD main Profile pic by @tamafry.com, banner by @arizart.bsky.social

Noraxia, a sylph, in their final moments.
A determined Forwin marches alone through the blistering dark. He holds his hat in place by pinching its brim as he walks against the wind, and his brow is furrowed, gaze firmly fixed forward.
Forwin donning his Dark Knight attire for Final Fantasy XIV Online’s upcoming 8.0 expansion, Evercold. His sword rests on his shoulder. His glamours consist of: * Pain of the Vortex broadsword * Company Hat * Woodland Warden’s Top * Neo Kingdom Gloves… * …Brayettes… * …and Thighboots of Fending * Wayfarer’s Earcuff

A group photo of the Warrior of Light and his adventuring party, The Perfect Storm, taken in Mor Dhona before the Crystal Tower under sunny skies. Previously known as The Stirring Winds, the team changed their name when they went from four members to eight. Pictured left to right: Weyward Sister: Lavivi Lavi, a Lalafell who hails from Sharlayan in Dravania. She prides herself on her abilities in alchemy, academia, and arcana. Red Oni of the Bloodsands: Shigeru Gushiken, an Au’Ra from Mount Rokkon in Hingashi. He swings around a kanabō as though it were weightless. Steel Princess: Iyrnbluom Solkitarwyn, a Werlyt Roegadyn who seeks to augment her swordplay. Shin-Zantetsuken is held aloft in her grip. Moonlight’s Vigil: Nemuh Relanah, ex-Coeurlclaw of the Black Shroud. Since reformed, this Miqo’te took up healing as her vocation and found peace. Warrior of Light: Forwin Tyrell, Ishgard-born and Gridania-raised Hyur. Favoured by Hydaelyn and an all-rounder in combat, he defaults to the bow. Double-crossed Dauber: Estielle Pierriquet, Elezen outcast who flourished away of the Twelveswood. They found joy in magic as a Pictomancer. Raging Tiger: Aleksandr Volhasch, one of many Hrothgar displaced by Garlemald in Bozja. He is a career warrior and the eldest of the group. Ashen Avenger: Kotarō Ryōbo, a Dalmascan Viera trained by a Doman ninja as a child. Due to certain events, he switched from daggers to twinfangs.
Left to right for Gold Saucer shenanigans! Estielle points at the loser of a heated Triple Triad match, making a poor job of stifling their laughter and caring little. Forwin, said loser, is splayed across his side of the table, expression vacant with a thousand-yard stare. Shigeru, sitting on the couch, observes the ruckus. His mind is already set on seeking out his next meal. Kotarō, back turned to the camera, is frustrated with Forwin’s loss beyond measure. Bets may have been placed. Iyrnbluom holds up her winning hand, putting little effort in concealing her victorious grin. She is also wearing shades indoors. Lavivi, held up by Aleksandr, is dabbing on her party leader, adding further insult to Triple Triad-induced injury. Aleksandr is also donning shades, sharing in Iyrnbluom’s win. Lavivi weighs very little in his hands. Nemuh quietly wishes for Forwin to find peace. Her hands are together in prayer and her eyes are closed. Most poses are referenced from a "Draw the Squad" meme template.
Give me an NPC and I’ll tell you their relation to my OC

Forwin and Lyse hold one another close in the gardens of the former Royal Menagerie, under the setting sun. She gently traces the new scars on his face with her thumb, with his hand over her own.
Hypertuned Grynewaht brings his chainsaw down onto Forwin, who is keeping the weapon at bay with his kite shield. His sword, the Gaze of the Vortex, gives off an emerald glow, while steam and sparks fly between saw-blades and buckler. Based off of the boss battle in the level 67 dungeon, Doma Castle, from FFXIV: Stormblood.
