Lawas di Tepian
Nelangsa dan memangsa.
Aku yang diseru sama,
lahir di berbagai nama;
menjadikan serpih sebagai puing
dari belahan kecup berupa kening.
Jeda adalah belantara waktu
yang menepi setelah itu lagi
dari pelbagai macam bahari.
Atau kau yang kusebut-sebut cinta,
telah berubah makna menjelma duka.
Oh, pagi ini, Arjanti; matahari mengibas-ngibaskan pesolek kirananya.
Ucapnya masih sama—di lain tempat ia jatuh dalam memoar-memoar semesta, sedang di pelukanku masih mengharu lebam tak terkira perihnya.
Cadas kerinduanku menerpa telanjang sebuah tangis badai yang menerka-nerka atas secangkir kopi yang kuseruput begitu pahit dan gugur di hadapanku. Entah ini ulah siapa. Namun kuyakin, debar dada segera menangkap langkah dalam degupnya.
Terkadang, Tuhan bingung memaknai—warna apa yang pantas untuk sebuah lukisan langit yang bermula tangkas di tepian lawas.
Kurasa itulah alasan mengapa telaga ada, sebab biar nestapa tak selalu menyapa rahasia-rahasia yang berbahaya.
Aku merindukanmu, Arjanti,
seperti pohon belantara yang
merindukan kejatiannya.
Seperti laut yang merindukan air asinnya, dan seperti gemetar gunung yang merindukan ketenangannya.
(Reggi Julian, Jakarta, 2018)

Character Lists
~ Guild Wars 2 ~
Sukma Adhikara (Dhika)
Human / Thief. 32 M (core tyria)
My Main, but not 'The Commander', not anymore. Laid back, flirty, and deceivingly pleasant to be around. If he can spend as little time and effort as possible to do something, he will. 'Indiscriminately Promiscuous' is how people around him described him.
Grew up in the street as petty thief, then became prostitute. From alleyway hooker to the noble's secret escort. Those were hard times and he has scar on his face during that as souvenir. He left that life behind after recruited into Order of Whisper at the age of 29 and paired with Tybalt for 3 years before the start of personal story. Its during campaign against Zhaitan, that he and Trahearne started to see each other secretly.
After Maguuma Operation he fell into severe mental health issue. Resigned from the Pact, and disappear for a year. Before reappearing, dragged by Sulestari, to form Dragon's Watch with Rytlock and Taimi. Nowadays, hes more or less stable, though age really mellows him out.
funfact: at first his name is kinda also a dick joke (sukmadikha <<< which is actual name in my tribe mind you!!! XD) but i got warning from GM and changed it into Sukma Adhikara, which roughly means "Soul Commander"; and i got angry because its actually rather cool name now??? XD
Sulestari
Sylvari / Mesmer. 3mo M (core tyria)
Actual 'The Commander of the Pact'. Cycle of Dawn. The Chosen Valiant. He was sylvari of great enthusiasms and honesty. Always eager to help, although having a bit of temper and cautious toward other races.
Gardeners joked that Sulestari is actually so Daybloom he woke up early at Dawn instead. He wears his metaphorical hearts on his sleeves. He thinks of Pale Tree as his mother, Caithe as big sister, and he admires Trahearne greatly.
Over the years he became more and more jaded and bitter, even if he still helps those around him, seemingly out of self-imposed obligation.
funfact: i actually want to make female sylvari and named her lestari. but somehow it became male sylvari instead?? while lestari already gender neutral name, i want to make it kinda masculine, so adding 'su' like common boy name of my tribe. lestari means everlasting / preserving.
Brite Hearthkeeper
Charr / Elementalist. 28 M (core tyria)
Olmakhan Charr. He cooks and cares for the cubs in the village. He joins the Olmakhan forces in aiding the events of S4. And after that, he sorta hangs around commanders / wanders around Tyria to see the world.
~ Final Fantasy XIV ~
Julian Bahari
Sea Wolf Roegadyn / DRK Main. 19F (ARR)
Warrior of Light. Unyielding and seemingly stoic young woman, shes actually pretty awkward socially. She rarely talks due to selective mutism. Inside, she has adventurous spirit and a hot-blooded person. She loves to brawl and eat. Shes also protective person and ready to square up to any threats anytime.
She was raised along with other orphans in Lost Hope to mine ore as form of returning favor to the merchant that take care of them, as well as paying for ongoing 'rent and meal'. One day, she was so mesmerized by group of adventurers's lifestyle and decided to just book it out of the mine and become adventurer herself.
Enjoying her newfound freedom, shes been doing odd jobs, getting beat up as gladiator, and knee deep in plethora of small gigs -- earning barely enough gils-- for quite awhile, before meeting Thancred and subsequently recruited into Scions of Seventh Dawn.
funfact: out of all mmo character that i played, juli is the one i love the most. practically love at first sight. aaaa beloved.... anyway, bahari means sea / nautical. im not very creative at making names, actually... sorry. julian is from my old story i wrote, it was given to a unyielding male soldier, so i feel this like spiritual successor to that character. kinda?
Haelborn Wyrnedzasyn
Seawolf Roegadyn / WHM Main. 54M (ARR)
Hes war-weary old man with mild manner. He took interest in gardening and sewing. After all the horror of war and slavery, he choose peace many times over anything. Even so, when its time to fight, he wont hesitate to bring all of him to help. Eventually, he became Juli's retainer. Married to a male vierra named Yukine Benitoki (my friend's oc)
Garlean conscript since very young age. He survived Carteneau Flats war during Great Calamity and the fall of Castrum Meridianum. Having no place to return to, he wanders around Black Shroud, learning of local's way of life and shedding violence for mending life.
When his past life is exposed, he once again casted out of the shroud. During which, the allied force of grand companies taking over baelsar's wall; allowing haelborn to slip past into last forest. One thing lead to another, he and juli met, fought together, and became friend. Upon knowing of his situation, juli offered haelborn to live with her for free; which he counteroffered by offering him to be her retainer instead.
funfact: finally, a name that is actually lore compliant. took a bit of brainstorming with friend too... haelborn wyrnedzasyn means healthy boar, son of snake-eater. yeah its also kinda dirty joke at the end. sorry again. one thing for sure, i didnt expect him to be such a Soft Boy... huh.
