Icipher Septim - is going to FANFEST!!!!!

still recovering from this cold so i drew this

icipher absolutely lives for fireplace aymeric cuddles

Icipher just... doesn't have a healthy relationship with her emotions. But she learns how to accept them, and to accept others, and it's a story of personal growth.

But also she has a tendency to explode in anger from very minor things, which leads to comical moments.

Icipher's answer is the same as before. While she hates it that so many in Ishgard freeze to death from lack of shelter, she personally loves the coziness of the snow, and being able to cuddle in front of the fireplace with a hot drink.

Icipher initially repressed her emotions, but they eventually got out of hand and she became prone to bouts of explosive anger, and this is where her DRK powers come from. But once she became more stable her DRK powers waned.

The second was a more secular ceremony for their friends, where they recited their vows (and both cried while doing so) and had a celebratory feast (including a bedding ceremony where they were both too drunk to consummate)

They actually had 2 weddings in the same week. The first was a very long and formal Halonic Orthodox ceremony, attended by the nobility and featuring songs and scripture, and ending with a procession around Ishgard.

Aymeric actually kind of proposed to her within the first week of them consummating their relationship, but it was in a post-coital bliss and not meant to be serious, and they both said they weren't ready but wanted to in the future. The official proposal didn't happen until after EW.

The official proposal happened like this: archiveofourown.org/works/652194...

At the VERY beginning of Icipher's journey, like as a pre-calamity sellsword, she was 16. Right now she's in her 30s. (haven't figured out exact timeline yet)

Lucien was 32 when he began his journey (midway through HW) and he's currently in the 38-42 range.

i save my poetics for funny screenshots like this

DID THEY JUST CONFIRM KOTOR 3?

trying to write at 12am

instead spent 30 minutes imagining icipher septim walking into the arcadion arena in slow motion while the chicago bulls music plays in the background

shoutout to the xiv lore-bending and lore creation fans. Y’all keep the game interesting

wholesome couple photos

they haven't canonically been to living memory but i had a random desire to pose them in edwardian fashion

First on content tier was Anabeisos, almost cleared p10s but then Things happened and I didn't try again.

I redeemed myself with both arcadion tiers though, cleared both savages in the first 12 weeks.

Icipher has her preferred styles, sure, but there are few things she wouldn't wear if she absolutely HAD to. She doesn't like constricting dresses but isn't opposed to them, for example.

Because of this, she decides to retire from her WoL position. She still fights in the Arcadion with a group but she's far from the powerful solo fighter she once was.

But in the end, she's happier for this.

Now she can't use aether like she used to, she can't use aetherytes without feeling nauseous and either way she's more prone to nausea and vomiting. She's also not able to harness job crystals like she used to, and has to retrain herself in various weapons.

Icipher's lingering injuries were actually caused by her aetheryte warping back to Ishgard directly from Ultima Thule, but she would have died otherwise. But she was bound to the infirmary for almost a week, and could barely leave bed for a month after she was released.

But she doesn't think bloodlines are as important as preserving history, and eventually she might travel into Ilsabard to try to find out more.

When Icipher's hyur mother was pregnant the settlement was wiped out by Ishgard though, and both of her parents were executed by the Inquisition when she was a year old, so she's currently the only known member of that blood. The bloodline continues through her one biological son eventually.

Icipher isn't xaela, her auri lineage can instead be traced to a clan in Ilsabard that was wiped out by Garlemald more than 50 years ago, and some of the survivors including her father lived in a hidden settlement in Dravania where man and dragon lived in harmony away from the Horde.

oh yeah i'm fucking traumatized as fuck and icipher gets to suffer because of this

does anyone else like to try to find the funniest ao3 tags? like, the most actual unhinged stuff?

I actually had a cute scene where Icipher went to Ishgard after arriving back on the ship at the end of EW, injured and collapsing in Aymeric's arms after encountering him on the street

but I like my final version better archiveofourown.org/works/46941307

Ser Icipher Septim the Black, Savior of Ishgard, the Obsidian Dragoon and Viscountess of House Borel

notice how Warrior of Light is nowhere in her title
