CR WORKSHIP: NOVEMBER 2023

Our CR Meme CR Workship is where players can drop all the cool info for their characters and try to plot with others to continue existing or create new CR. Be sure to look over the MANTA Board as well as current events if you'd like to include them in your post.

We also include a designated toplevel for Crew Recruitment where players can make OOC ad posts for others to either join or request to join or make a crew. This is all for OOC coordination, so you'll have to figure out how it works ICly.

If you have multiple characters, make an individual toplevel for yourself with your player info and comment to it with each character separately.

benedikta harman | final fantasy xvi | corsair

CHARACTER INFO

Character: Benedikta Harman
Canon: Final Fantasy XVI, post "Wings of Change"
Armada: Corsair

About: Benedikta Harman is a woman who is all about her survival and self-preservation first and foremost. Having climbed out of the depths of a cruel and terrible youth, she ascended to a place of power within the Kingdom of Waloed after being rescued, both by way of her talents in subterfuge and swordplay, and awakening as the Warden of the Wind, the Dominant of the Eikon, Garuda, which allows her to wield powerful wind magic. She is the Commander of Waloed's Elite Intelligencers, and is fiercely loyal to King Barnabas.

However, not everything is as it seems with her. She is loyal, yes, but to a fault, and is stung by the bitter bite of betrayal. She is ruthless, only cares about her own skin, and resents the world for what it has done to her. But deep down, who she really is is a woman who has looked and continues to find love and validation in all the wrong places...

In short: she's a mess. :)

Because FFXVI deals with some heavy shit, I have an opt-out for her here.

Abilities: Benedikta is a skilled spy as well as swordswoman, and being the Dominant of Garuda grants her access to power wind-based magic, as well as the ability to transform into Garuda herself.

🍃 MAGIC: In canon, she can wield strong wind magic, such as summoning tornadoes and violent gales, and can also teleport herself and anyone else she chooses to another location. Benedikta can also summon her egis, Suparna and Chirada (wind-based elementals). In Escordvi, I'd like for her to develop at least most (if not all) of this magic through her tattoo, and she has already started practicing plenty.

🍃 GARUDA: Being the Dominant of Garuda, she is able to take on two forms of the Eikon: semi-primed and fully primed by drawing upon her aether. When she is semi-primed, she grows a set of large feathered wings, has glowing green marks over her skin, and bright blue eyes. She is fast, agile, and powerful, and can summon claws that are large enough to tear apart buildings. When she is primed, she transforms into the much larger version of her Eikon. Under Garuda's influence, she can summon powerful, devastating wind storms. However, until she experiences a strong emotional trigger, Garuda will be taking on an itty bitty form.

PLANS

General:

🍃 At the moment, she is dealing with the fact that Barnabas is gone and she is now... free? What does that even mean?
🍃 Also, him leaving is the first she is learning that anyone can be sent back against their will to their worlds at any time, so... that's fun considering she's dead and doesn't want to go back to being dead. So, she might be taking her panic out in all the wrong places, and on all the wrong people.
🍃 There will come a day when she learns about what happened to her after her death, and that will be the day that she primes into Garuda's full form, so keep an eye on the horizon, and stay away from those dark clouds.
🍃 I still really want her to steal a ship. But who is going to do that with her now? :(
🍃 On that note, stealing a ship with someone and then marooning them on an island would be fun. So would placing a bounty on someone's head just for pissing her off, so if you want a bounty on your character, she's your gal!
🍃 While I'm not looking to fully redeem her (because let's be real, she is far from fully redeemable), my main goal for her is to eventually come to terms with everything she's done wrong. She's gotten a taste of that after what happened in canon before arriving, but still has a long way to go before she accepts it. I have some plans in the works for how that's going to come about, but it's going to be a long journey to get there.

MANTA Board: I am easy as always! She is always available to sabotage people's quests, too. :)

🍃 Thinking with Portals
🍃 Healing mix-up
🍃 Coins of the Crescent

Event: Not planning on top-leveling, but I will be tagging around! Some things that caught my eye for her:

🍃 Pumpkin spice turtles: she will definitely be trying to capture them.
🍃 Fire sprites: if someone can convince her to listen to their story, you deserve an award.
🍃 Chest of chestnuts: something to keep her busy?
🍃 All of the Nogard hunts! Let her sink her claws into something to keep her mind off everything else!
🍃 Want to get into a drunken brawl? Let's do it.

CR Dreams: Honestly, I'm great with any kind of CR but Benedikta isn't the most pleasant person (actually, far from it) so anyone who is okay with some negative CR would be ideal. People she can manipulate into doing her bidding, or people she can team up with and then betray later, whether they are paladin or corsair, she will take them. I have discovered that she does have a bit of a soft spot for younger girls who have had troubled pasts, so that would be a fun thing to explore! Also, I love pitting her against people who are really good at getting under her skin. But honestly, just give me all kinds of CR, I'm here for it.

I want Benna CR forever, just gonna keep being nice at her till she throws Xenk across the room :3c

[garudas]

OH GOOD because I would like Xenk CR forever, and she would be HAPPY to throw him across the room!!!

But for real, I really think that maybe they should be forced to work together on something. Once I am finished getting up all the starters I owe, I might go peek at your plotting post. 👀

[partybabysitter]

yesssss go for it! I've got my catchall for the month ready to go!!

[afflatusexarch]

Bennnneeeeeeee

[garudas]

pinches g'raha's ears

[triple]

ok so.
a.) stealing a ship and getting marooned sounds fun. zoro has fallen asleep on a random ship that wasn't his and it set sail ( he did absolutely ruin it but that's neither here nor there ) so that could be a fun lil thing that happens. or b.) the healing and coin manta things i'm also interested in if u wanna give one of those a go!

[garudas]

HAHAHA we can definitely find a time and a way to make that happen!! It's on my bucket list for her to turn around and leave someone behind. Hopefully Zoro can find his way back LOL.

I'd be down for either! I haven't had any plans to do the coins yet so maybe that one? :)

[triple]

yeye that works for me!!

[garudas]

Hello hello!!! I didn't see a top level or post so I dropped a starter here!!! Hopefully that works :)
