After all, to be the best actors we can be, we must be trained by the best of the best! So don't worry if you're focus is more on the combat arts rather than the performing arts, you have a place here among the troupe!
OUT-OF-CHARACTER-INFORMATION
We are a RP-focused FC that has a focus on creating fun events and
interactions for our member-base.While performances and plays are a big part of our routines, the Blades also handle minor contract work, typically in the field of bounties and numerous "morally grey" activities such as stealing from those who can afford it and generally following our own morale compass; we are not big fans of "rules" or "the law" when said rules/laws are considered unfair. Note, however, we DO NOT partake in extreme activities such as slavery, needless killing, drugs, and other heavier themes and topics.The Obsidian Blades are a casual RP Group with a focus on developing bonds between our members and facilitating an enjoyable and fun space for people. We host events throughout the week and weekend, ranging from casual RP gatherings to full events, as well as OOC discord events such as movie nights and other activities. We strive for quality members over bulk numbers.•Active Discord (Join to keep track of our upcoming events!)*

Pahja Amariyo
Troupe Director/Bosslady
Pahja "Murder Medic" (haha, jk... Unless...?) Amariyo split off from a terrible business partnership to persue a less stressful career running a theatrical troupe. Unfortunately, acting does not pay the bills, and thus other types of jobs may have followed her there.Orignally from Thavnair, she spent a great deal of time traveling starting at a fairly young age for reasons she is not likely to tell you, during which she became proficient with botany and alchemy (specifically poisons) and became a skilled chiurgereon and aether healer. Rumor has it, she also has ties to the rogue's guild.
Ashton Black
Master-of-Ceremonies/Second-in-Command
Ashton is an expert on numerous topics and fields, just ask him, he will be glad to tell you that. Hell, you may have even heard of him (you have not).Dismissive and wearing an almost perpetually annoyed face, you are encouraged to come to him with all your concerns and questions and he will gladly find someone else to assist you with your issue. Underneath that annoyed exterior, however, is an equally thick layer of... more annoyance. When matters do require handling though he is quick to act and meticulously efficient in execution of whatever tasks are needed.
Baron Obsidian
Eccentric Benefactor
Not an official member of the troupe, the mysterious Baron Obsidian is larger-than-life, louder-than-life, and always a constant source of frustration for the troupe's actual leadership.
Claiming to be a member of the prestigious Syndicate of Ul'dah, Baron Obsidian can often be found causing chaos in the way only an eccentric bajillionair can, all employees and visitors are advised:
Never take on tasks or missions he tries to assign.
If any such discussions are had, IMMEDIATELY report
the request to Director Amariyo!
Alesoix Lanverlais
Head of Security
Alesoix was born the third son and fourth out of five children in a noble house of Ishgard. Not being an heir, and not having any particular interest in the church or astrologian arts, he found himself joining the military in search of a purpose.It was here that he suffered an injury in battle, severely damaging his heart and resulting in his Honorable Discharge from service. He has taken up carpentry, though his true passions are knitting and reading/writing poetry, and has worked with Ashton and Pahja for a
good while, following them to three different
places of employ now.
Lavender Abernathy
Officer
A young Midlander woman with dark hair and purple eyes. The daughter of two former 'Local Heroes', she left her sheltered life to pursue a name for herself outside of her parent's shadow.
As far as her role in the Obsidian Blades, perhaps even Lavender is unsure of what exactly that entails.
Often handling the tasks that fall below the Director and Master of Ceremonies, Lavender seems to be
perpetually trying to find her place not only in the world, but in the Blades as well. Often accompanied by her trusty side-kick Number 3, the Tiny Tonberry, one should not hesitate to approach her with any and all concerns.
Taua Rory
Faelony Expert
Taua Rory is the accidentally-on-purpose biological-adoptive daughter of Lady Pahja and The Ashton Black. She fell into theater life as a "Thing to Do" and because people let her pretend to be a fake chef on a 'borrowed' ship and gave her throwing knives.Regardless of the original intent, she found her people and her place, despite how far away from home she is. With a few close friends lost along the way to the dangers of things unrelated to the theater, she is still making the most of her time on this Star and has a steady supply of lemon waffles to keep her content.
