33. Does your character respect nature, or would they stomp on it if it meant their benefit?

For “FFXIV deity asks” meme!

This one you’ve picked is, I think, particularly interesting, especially for Rosaire.

Pretty much all my characters love and/or respect nature to some degree. Some (Viviko) do so in a more sentimentalized, naive way, where “loving nature” means loving birds and flowers and vistas without really understanding the breadth, complexity, and danger that nature contains. Some (Hyacinthe, Mrhael, etc.) understand well that danger and darkness, that civilization and nature struggle against each other, but still respect it and believe in the importance of living harmoniously with it (because that is in civilization’s best interests). Some (Valroit) similarly understand that nature is harsh and cruel, but also see in it the sublime and beautiful, and that nurture, kindness, and creativity exist in nature too – and so love and honor it, and believe earnestly in growing civilization together with nature in the least harmful, most mutually beneficial way. Across this diversity of beliefs, none of them would really feel right about heedlessly exploiting and harming nature. Even those who are pretty OK with the exploitation of nature, out of self-interest and/or belief that it is Spoken’s Twelve-given right to enjoy nature’s bounties (i.e. Denisot), still care about preserving it for future generations, which means respecting an ecosystem’s balance (even if the character might not have the vocabulary to say that with sophistication).

Besides Rosaire, Kharadai probably has the most developed and interesting view of nature – along the lines of, “nature vs. civilization is a false dichotomy, every being is a part of the world and simultaneously in harmony and discord with other beings.” He’s deeply suspicious of narratives along the lines of “we live in harmony with nature, the same as our ancestors have since the dawn of time, unlike [those other tribes]”, instead suspecting that all organisms are selfish and will exploit each other for their own ends. Spoken just have the advantage of being able to see the bigger picture, and it’s in their best interests not to upset the balance of the star – which is bigger than all of us and not necessarily benevolent.

– Anyway, if you thought that was long-winded, I’ll describe now Rosaire’s conception of nature and man’s relationship to it.

Rosaire is Ishgardian Orthodox and deeply religious, even if his beliefs aren’t quite as orthodox (har har) as some might imagine. His beliefs about nature follow from his faith, chiefly his belief in the covenant made between Halone and Thordan’s people.

Coerthas is the Promised Land, and (as the knight Loanne says in the quest “The Pecking Order”) “the Fury has given us dominion over all creatures of this land.” To Rosaire, however, this is not a privilege that can be complacently assumed: it requires that Ishgard’s people worship the Fury and preserve Her Church. Further, Rosaire believes that if Coerthas is Halone’s gift to the Ishgardians, it is sacrilege to defile and abuse that gift.

In truth, Rosaire is a city man who spent most of life indoors, even before the Calamitous winter; in his twenties and thirties he was involved in a few covert missions in the countryside and the Dravanian forelands, but even he sometimes has a hard time believing that on a few of those, he actually camped out in the wilderness with a bedroll. Him! Yet while it is true that he feels close to Halone in the chapels in the city, and he goes to look upon Her statue in Saint Reymanaud when he aches for Her guidance – in truth, it is in the Coerthan countryside – sometimes gazing across the summer meadows in blazing green or the autumn fields in dark gold, but most oft when looking up at the white-topped mountains, majestic and sublime, graceful, brutal, sharp blades sweeping up to the sky that at the same time gently cradle the vales between – that he has felt Her presence most strongly, the divine hand that sculpted the most perfect land in all of Hydaelyn.

That land was not intended by Halone to be preserved in the state She created it. When dominion over it was given to Thordan’s people, it was Her intention that they cultivate it to support the civilization that would practice Her religion. But the correct way of life for the Coerthan people is one that fit harmoniously into the environment that She sculpted, not one that tries to impose the lifestyle of their southron, plains-dwelling ancestors. The Coerthans farm the lowlands and graze livestock on the alm, drive pigs through the forests, hunt and fish its wild beasts, and pick the fruits of their mountain orchards. Such practices are their divine right – and it is their Goddess-given responsibility to preserve and cultivate the riches of the land for future generations.

Such feelings are one of Rosaire’s motivations for devoting this part of his life to the Alpine Greening Institute. To most people, he tends to emphasize the Institute’s humanitarian motives – the need to restore dignified livelihoods to displaced Coerthan farmers, to lower the damn price of bread, and ultimately to relieve the overcrowding of the Brume. (To self-interested nobles, he tends to emphasize how these moves work to their benefit as well, and how something must be done to head off starvation if they want to preserve Ishgard’s social stability.) But there is this religious motive, too. Coerthas was given to the Ishgardians by Halone, and they cannot give up on it. They must adapt, just as their ancient ancestors must have struggled and adapted when first moving to Coerthans from the southron plains – ideally, they will be able to preserve the most important parts of the traditional Coerthan way of life, but above all they cannot cast aside their agreement with Halone that they will steward this land.

And “stewarding the land,” to Rosaire, means shaping it for the benefit of its Spoken inhabitants. He has an implicit belief in a Great Chain of Being, with Spoken superior to all other creatures; therefore their needs supercede all others’, and they have a right to rule over and exploit the rest. (As a tangent, Rosaire congratulates himself for his enlightenment in thinking of this category as “Spoken”, not “the Five Races” or “[Alpine] Elezen”, believing himself exceptionally anti-racist, while you and I would probably consider this more of a bare minimum. But this is a topic to ramble upon another day.) Spoken, of course, are inferior to the gods, and ideally the Spoken will rule over lesser beings -- the gods’ creation -- with sensitivity, compassion, and care. But if it is necessary, those beings can be manipulated, tamed, and culled for Spoken benefit. It is his hope, therefore, that the Alpine Greening Institute will be able to restore the old livelihoods of Coerthas with minimal change needed -- but if their research indicates that radical changes are necessary, possibly with dramatic side-effects for the environment, he would stand in support of them.

So ultimately Rosaire has an attitude to nature with echoes of -- hm, not sure if this is exactly accurate, but I think I’d say -- a mixture of 17th-18th century European (especially English, probably ‘cause thats the language I speak) ideas and aesthetics. There is an idealization of nature, but it is a sort of nature that is tamed and ordered by the hands of man and God(dess). “The land of Coerthas” is a priceless, treasured gift, and yet Rosaire is troubled little by dam-building, wood-clearing and artificial plantations, introduction of foreign species, etc., as long as these are in harmony with the religious ideal of the land. The idea of the picturesque resonates with Rosaire and I often try to pull on the surrounding tropes -- the idea of the medium between untamed, awe-inspiring nature and the order of a mannered garden, applied to an entire land, and how that resonates with Ishgardian national identity. They are the city-state of poncy nobles who fought a thousand-year war, who survive in the harshness of the rugged highlands and there built an ornate and even decadent religion and culture, much like the very temple of Halone built on the mountain that rises from the Sea of Clouds.

When working on Greening Coerthas stuff, I think a lot about how Rosaire’s attitudes would differ from ours -- “green” is a buzzword for us, too, as is “climate change”, but these mean something different to us, living in the time and place we do. I think about the brazenness that I see in the European inventors and agriculturalists of the Industrial Revolution (and other places/periods like the atomic gardening movement) -- there’s a fascinating mix there of foolhardy confidence in human ingenuity, grotesque entitlement to the land, and yet also optimism, hope, and vision. I think about how those sorts of beliefs and feelings might emerge in an Eorzean context and try to blend that in to my roleplay, so we’re not just roleplaying “farming in Eorzea,” but “farming in Eorzea”, embedded emotionally and ideologically in the landscape of this setting.

And also, as you have come to realize by reading all the way to the bottom here, it is a terrible mistake to send me asks for ask memes because I can and will talk endlessly and meanderingly about these things. WHOOPS.

Vivian's cute please tell us about her!! ❤️

sorry it took me so long to get to this, I had to wait until I got home and that took longer than I thought it would

I love Vivian so much!!! My chaotic neutral baby!!!

So, (as this is a Next Gen AU) Vivian is adopted by Mina and Aoyama (who are both trans lesbians in this AU). She has a brother (non blood related) who was also adopted, but that’s for later.

Unfortunately, before she was adopted she got hit with that Tragic Backstory Syndrome(TM). I think it’s actually pretty sad, but maybe I’m just a wimp idk

Backstory: When Vivian was very young, her mother was killed by a band of villains who then kidnapped her and raised her to be a villain like them. She pretended to go along with it, until the point where the villains claimed she was ‘finished training’. After that, she escaped from those villains but left them all very badly injured. Vivian was 4 when she was originally kidnapped, 12 when she escaped from the villains, and then she was 13 when she was adopted.

She wants to help save people to make up for all of the things she did when she was with the villains (even though it technically was not her fault, given she was forced to do those things by the villains), but at the same time she believes she isn’t worthy of being called a hero, so instead she becomes a vigilante.

Because Vivian was so old when she was adopted, she has a hard time seeing Aoyama and Mina as her parents, but she still loves them anyways.

Her quirk is that she can create and manipulate knives. The nature of her quirk was definitely a deciding factor in why the villains didn’t just kill her when they found her

Vivian is still in UA, she’s just in the General Studies Course, instead of the Hero Course

Personality-wise, Vivian is a jokester. She teases people (not in a malicious way though), tells puns, and likes to laugh at how absurd things are sometimes

Humor is just Vivian’s way of coping and dealing with things, actually. Sometimes because of this the humor can get a little... dark

On the other hand though, if you try to throw a pity party over Vivian’s Tragic Backstory(TM), she will laugh hysterically in your face

She doesn’t want to be pitied. She just wants to move forward and not think about it.

Now then, as I said, Vivian goes to UA,,, and she’s in the same year as Sachiko and Rin,,, and she has a HUGE gay crush on Sachiko

VIVIKO IS THE SHIP NAME, AND IT IS SO CANON AND VALID MY DUDES

It starts when Vivian volunteers to help the Hero Class with rescue training and Sachiko “rescues” her and Vivian is like “wwwowww,,,, I’m so gay”

On Sachiko’s end, she ends up getting a crush on Vivian during the internships. Sachiko almost gets badly injured by a villain, but then (as a vigilante) Vivian steps in and helps her win. Before leaving, Vivian is like “It was nice fighting with you, milady,” and then she does the thing where she kisses Sachiko’s hand, and then disappears mysteriously into the night

Sachiko: Wow, I think I’m in love

Rin: you,,,, you realize,,, that she’s a vigilante, right? you know that’s like. Kinda sorta illegal?

Sachiko: You know what else is kinda sorta illegal? Being that pretty. Being that pretty should be illegal.

Rin: Sachi, you useless lesbian

:Meanwhile:

Vivian: OH MY GOD I CAN’T BELIEVE I HAD THE GUTS TO DO THAT

Also important distinction; Vivian is the kind of person to flirt, and Sachiko is the kind of person who goes right in to giving affection. This makes both of them unbelievably flustered, but Vivian is definitely more easily flustered.

Vivian: What’s your quirk? Being cute?

Sachiko: 0///0

Versus

Sachiko: *walks right up and just kisses Vivian on the cheek*

Vivian: 0/////0

I have so many feelings about this ship guys

That’s all I got on Vivian for right now, enjoy
