Character

Character Name: Lahabrea (Hephaistos)
Canon: Final Fantasy XIV
Canon Point: Post-6.4 Pandaemonium Raids
Age: Ageless (he's over a millennia)
Season: Summer
Flower: Lycoris Radiata (Spider Lily)

About My Character: (cw: possible spoilers for Pandaemonium) Lahabrea’s descent into madness was a slow decline that none of his former colleagues could’ve predicted. Once beloved by his peers in ancient Etheirys, the ascian known as Lahabrea became a shadow of his former self as the Sundering teared their world apart over the course of a millennia. Respected as the “Speaker of the Convocation”, it fell to Lahabrea to lead Etheirys into glory during it’s halcyon days. With the fate of the entire world resting upon his shoulders, Lahabrea was once a man to admire before his inevitable fall. He was a master at creation magicks and one of the chief paragons to craft some of the world’s most magnificent constructs in the form of mythic beasts. He is the sole creator behind famous creatures such as the Phoinix, Ifrit, the Fire Bombs, and several other fire-aspected concepts.

CR I'm Looking For: I'm looking for more gremlins to make Lahabrea's life increasing more ~~difficult~~better, aka I want more people to pull him out of his shell. Unlike the other characters I play, Lahabrea is very emotionally detached from others due to the events that transpired in the Pandaemonium Raids. Without too many needless spoilers, he recently remerged with the latter part of his soul (Hephaistos) and is struggling trying to relearn emotions again. That's why he comes across as a bit stoic and stilted because of what transpires in that plot line. He originally cast aside the part of his soul that still loved Athena in order to safeguard himself from the madness she inflicted upon him.

So overall, I'm looking for those who would be willing to stomach this old Ancient and his less than friendly demeanor as he basically relearns how to be "human" again and not just a bossy old workaholic.

Plots I'm Looking For: Lahabrea is deeply invested in saving Ellipsa and is currently seeking others who feel the same. I really would love to do a plot regarding Lahabrea and others visiting the dangerous parts of the realm, along with linking up with other characters who are more knowledgeable than him about what's happening here. On the flipside, I would love for Lahabrea branch out and meet other people hailing from different stars/worlds.

Other: If you have any other ideas or plots to pitch, feel free! Until then, have a twitter meme!

I don't know how to do it but I'm ready to help provide more heart attacks for people.

Spoilers: I'm completely canonblind so I have no idea what we're in for.

Hi there! Welcome to my brief break down of "Wtf is Lahabrea" Part One! Fear not, I won't bore you with needless crazy FFXIV terminologies.

The Ancients are an extinct race of progenitor humanoids in the story, known for their vast scientific and technological advancements along with their uncanny ability to wield and manipulate aether (it's a source of life and magic, aka mana). Hephaistos is one such being and he works as apart of the governing body of that world known as the Convocation of the Fourteen. Lahabrea isn't his name but rather his "title" on this council.

Fast forward, Hephaistos had a wife named Athena who was the former Chief of Pandaemonium--this spooky research facility/prison where they studied mythic beasts and creations alike while imprisoning those they deemed unfit for their world. Athena was also a famous researcher and she found a magical black stone that wasn't from their world. The more she studied the stone, the more she unlocked the secrets of the cosmos. However, Athena went mad during her quest of knowledge and tired to use their son, Erichthonios, as living sacrifice in order to become a God.

Riveting, no? That's the gist of his character without going too deep into the lore or spoilers!

They... They really are going to give each other a heart attack!

At least the Hephaestus that Athena the Space Nerd knows is... An AI????

For some reason, that fits! I can see Hephaistos's vast knowledge eventually being made into an AI for some random AU. I really like your background for Athena, so I'm hype as hell for this CR.

Lahabrea is slowly making friends, yay!

Oh, the story just keeps getting more complex every time I look at it. It's already enough to make me have a digital red string wall!

But-- yeah! Friends! Everyone needs them, and your old man deserves a gremlin.

They... all do, actually. Lol.

This is you, eh? Haha! You ever want to rant about OC stuff, just hit me up on Plurk. I’m still fleshing out Rosen’s entire story as we speak and I have other OCs I could talk about for hours.

I’m about to tackle your log now! So just hold tight as I brainstorm~

Also, you’re always welcomed to send Athena towards Rosen and Regis. They definitely need a gremlin around

puts Lahabrea in my mouth

But also- Eichi's past with Lahabrea was to basically adopt him as a dad, and this was fully before the Pandaemonium raids, because Eichi is a little gremlin boy who fully supports Ascian Shenanigans. I think he would super enjoy helping him to be a person again, even if he kind of sucks at being a person himself. 8)

Eichi is also really into grumpy people and being a bad influence so I'm sure that can only go well

Oh no~! The horror! Please chew gently.

No but seriously, I'm all for DadBread times! This version of Lahabrea is totally adoptable, so if Eichi wants a father figure---he got it! Ironically enough, Lahabrea is a canonly a father now and shockingly enough, he actually loves his son.

Listen, trying to "people" is hard. Lahabrea and Eichi can help each other understand the intricacies of living.

Also, I’m planning on somehow turning this grumpy old Ascian into a “lyricist” in the near future and I can’t help but notice that Eichi is an idol~ 👀

Edited 2023-06-19 03:59 (UTC)

Yes! Eichi is an idol! :> He is also taking on a Producer role these days, so even if Eichi isn't the only one singing, he can make some connections.

He would so much. Like to know about Lahabrea's son!!! Give him all the tea, this boy loves drama

Perfect~! We can totally make this happen then! My nerdy self is very excited at the chance of this happening.

Omg! THE TEA IS SCALDING HOT in regards to Lahabrea and his family. Just give him a strong drink and he’ll talk a little. The way his ex-wife did him got him rethinking his whole damn existence.

But he’ll gush about Erichthonios when drunk cause he’s a sad man who misses his son
