Kalani's Mules

As you can see from this page, I have several mules. Including my main, Kalani, I have ten characters in total. Unlike many people, I plan to level them out and build them up as full fledged characters despite their duty as holding cells for various items. I have big plans and dreams for these side characters.

In particular, I have an irrational dream of making a full fledged crafting Handle. Each of the characters in here, with the exception of Onenightstand, is intended to be suit a particular crafting function. The idea was I'd be able to work with anything that dropped of any monster and turn them into appreciable products. More importantly, though, it'd give me a bit more independence from the Auction House, from other players, and particularly from the almighty Gil.

Each character's name is very special and personal to me, and is drafted from real characters in the original stories I write in real life. They have a specific job that is intended to be their main, but just like Kalani, I plan to enjoy leveling all their jobs and experiencing each job as each race. To note, I have a character of each gender and race. Aside from keeping track of their accomplishments and goals, I made this page to set up raw data for eventual projects that compare the different races from each other in a practical sense (actual data, as opposed to theoretics and calculations). See? I'm not totally narcissistic. Just mostly.

Each has the same basic template of their main jobs' experience goal, thier jobs' levels, and crafting levels'. Of course, it starts with their personal bios.

In realistic terms, I'm holding off on alot of their leveling, including their crafts, until I can complete Kalani's crafting and progression as a Thief. This is an attempt to maintain efficiency. Instead of wasting gil on several different characters on different paths, I'm attempting to focus on a linear program of crafting completion. I actually don't plan to play this game seriously until I get my crafts to 100, sub crafts (that are applicable) to 60, the various crafting items, and so on. Let's see how that works out, nee?

A program I am planning to put them through on the side, though, is leveling their Black Mage, White Mage, and Thief jobs for the sake of self maintenance. Warp and the various teleports will cut down alot on their lag time moving them around, and Treasure Hunter II is just a nice thing to have when farming, which is my prefered way of gathering materials. So, a few of their main jobs may be entirely neglected for the sake of these three jobs which are entirely efficiency minded at the moment. Without further ado (sp?):

Tanin'iver

A dragon in Hebrew mythology, used as a steed by Lilith during the last days; refered to as a blind dragon, 'a serpent that does not see'. Tanin'iver was my first mule, and has extreme sentimental value to me. He was ordained to be my goldsmither, and I plan to make him a Summoner. He is a Bastok native at Rank 2-3 (ready for the final fight).

Hecate

Greek Goddess of Witchcraft and the Dark Side of the Moon. Where Tanin'iver is personal to me as a character in game, Hecate is extremely personal to me as a character in my story. She is psychotic, malevolent, insecure, and a pyro hooked on happy pills. Sounds like a Tarutaru to me.

Being true to her name and her character in my story, Hecate is a Black Mage. I have the intention of experimenting with the extremely chastised BLM/SMN job pairing with her, but we'll see. Thus far, I'm enjoying BLM/RDM as the most efficient of job combos. So we'll see where that takes us. Woodworking- allowing her to make her own staves- was alloted to this mule. She is San d'Oria native, and at Rank 5 (solo'd Mission 4, I might add).
