I'm not RPing much these days, sort of sporadically and not at all with anything larger in mind. But I do like to think about what Vynnie has been up to in my own absence. How he's handled these events. What beings he's encountered that have been added to his arsenal and how he handles them. And since my GPose skills have vastly improved from my early days, I am able to bring a lot of those ideas to life~ I hope you enjoy!

Bozja proved an important time in Vynnie's life. He left the resistance with letters from his superiors about his deeds, earning him a pardon from the arcanist's guild, though he was still on probation. This gave him access to resources with which he could better study the two beings he could summon and how to harness this magic. But then the towers began to arise. Vynnie had traveled to Thavnair, a trip meant to reconnect with his mentor in the Falsam Troupe, and pick the brains of their mages for how he could improve his summoning while also keeping up on his physical combat prowess from the dancers. But ever the one to jump to action, whether it was his business or not, Vynnie had to help. Helping with the towers was no easy feat. It seemed every adventure he'd get himself into was more difficult than the last, even with the help of Ixion and Adrammelech. And from the warm weather of Thavnair to the icy heart of the Empire which took his home from him. The Tower of Babil was the most recent place that the Seeker acquired power. Vynnie was in over his head. He missed the days when he was a simple model, when he could just ride his magitek bike and read in his apartment with his dog and his boyfriends.

He wasn't present in that fight against Anima, but the primal's aether had reached him in that tower nonetheless. It was overwhelming. Unlike the other two he could summon. All he could feel was utter fear and desolation inside himself. It was brief, but Vynnie cannot recall the details of his first summoning of Anima. Though his allies who witnessed it still can't look him in the eye, and that's not to say of the Garleans he had been fighting...

Following the mishaps in the Lochs, Vynnie had two new goals, make amends for the danger he put people in, and learn to harness this dangerous power he now had. While he could not directly aid his former friends, and was out of a job and sponsorship, Vynnie decided to lend himself to the efforts in Bozja. The Resistance welcomed any and all help it seemed, and Vynnie was determined to balance out his karma. All while sticking it to the selfsame Empire that had run him out of his home in his youth. Despite his newfound power with Ixion, Vynnie lacked the training to be consistent with it. It was a weakness as much as it was a strength. His officers knew this, and forbid him from summoning anything outside of a carbuncle. So he obeyed. Until the fight at Castrum Lacus Litore. The Resistance was met with a fearsome foe in Adrammelech. He'd heeded the words of his betters well, but they were losing. Determination and the motivation to prevail gave Vynnie the strength he needed to call upon Ixion and turn the tide of battle. With Adrammelech's defeat, however, came another entity for him to summon.

(A little update on what this vaporwave biker catte has been up to:) In his pursuit of furthering his goals to get stronger, Vynnie lead a team of arcanists, his boyfriend, and some hunters to the Lochs; a place near his homeland. For lack of better judgement, Vynnie had convinced local tribes that Ixion was indeed a creature to be revered, against the group's knowledge, which in turn lifted Ixion to primal status if but for a short time. Luckily for Vynnie, the team he had crafted to fell the beast did manage to pull through, though the fight was hard fought. In the end, he did absorb Ixion's aether, attuning his personal aether towards levin in the process. Unluckily for Vynnie, his trickery was found out and his membership with the arcanist's guild was temporarily revoked until further notice, and some of his friends cut ties. A hollow victory it seems...

Chapter 2 - Loading Assets

How much time had passed since he arrived?

Vynnie was sure he had been wandering the empty, futuristic city for what seemed like hours. All the buildings were structured so similarly; black, sleek, metallic, lights of shifting neon colors. The closest thing he had to compare it to was the stories he'd heard of Allagan or Garlean technology. Finally, in what the miqo'te assumed was the northside of the city, he came across a towering building, expanding well beyond dark clouds, labeled: "Aether Heights Apartments". A place to crash suddenly sounded so fucking good. Nothing made sense here. Even the most lavish of places he'd been didn't compare. Was he on another star?

It'd been months since the incident with Ixion in his homeland... Vynnie had all but fled from most of his contacts and friends. He only kept up with a select few, becoming quite reclusive as he turned his ambitions towards bettering his magic. Having absorbed Ixion's aether created quite the problem for the blooming summoner, especially since it happened at a time that he had not perfected his attempts at three-dimensonal arcanima. Thus, his days were spent filled with practice, out of fear that if he did not harness this power soon, they would spiral out of control and harm the last few that were still in his corner.
