in a garden idyllic, came the fall of man.
Sierra's ancient soul is that of Ophion, the third-from-last (and only female) Fandaniel. Ophion was known to others to be fond of snakes and serpentine concepts, credited with the creation of Asclepius and inspiring Hermes to create Caduceus. Ophioneus, the legendary beast roaming the wilds of Elpis, bears a suspicious similarity to something she would have fashioned, naturally being named a homage accordingly, although neither confirmation nor denial of her part were ever expected from such a personality so whimsically creative.The reason for this affinity towards the serpentine, in actuality, was an entwinement of Ophion's soul with that of the primordial aspect Nahas, biblical serpent of the Garden of Eden, behind the temptation of Eve into the original sin leading to the fall of man. While entwined with Samael, Nahas served as primogenitor for the yetzer hara, irreversibly altering Ophion's psyche into sinister imperfection. Having passed on decades prior, Ophion's soul was adrift in the Lifestream during the Final Days, and as a result was not subject to the machinations of the Convocation of that time, albeit still being sundered into fourteen shards in the process.Sierra's current incarnation is a shard of Ophion originating from the reflection known as the Unlost World. As such, her soul's aetheric affinity leans significantly towards Umbral-aspected Lightning. Ophion's role as Fandaniel may have played a significant role as to why...

no amount of electrope could suppress a weaponised arc flash.
To many in the city, she was just an appliance merchant, peddling goods from around the Continent in the heart of bustling Alexandria.In actuality, Armament and Weapons Researcher in the Lindblum Armed Forces was her secret, official role. While her development work on the Levinscoil took priority, her secondary tasks were infiltration and reconnaissance. The deployment of the Levinscoil in the busy streets by her and her fellow field operatives brought about their world's biggest arc flash, and brought the world crashing down upon them in a calamity of lightning - the Storm Surge.Fortunate to survive herself and still embedded within the Alexandrian population, she participated in rebuilding and the erection of Everkeep - of which she was a resident during the activation of the Traveler's Key which brought her to the Source. Knowledge of her true allegiance and role in the Storm Surge, as well as the continued existence of hostile elements within the Alexandrian population, however, remain unknown to the vast majority.

it doesn't matter what you call me.
the weapon i carry, the power i wield, they set me apart.
To the inhabitants of the Source, a reaper faithful to the Garlean art forms a pact with a Voidsent. According to such a definition, Sierra is not a reaper - while she wields a scythe, the pact she forms is not with a Voidsent, but instead a Lightning Revenant - a previously living being corrupted into a pure manifestation of lightning. The swings of her scythe thus carry a palpable electricity to them, not present in basically any other scythe-wielder.Another key difference is that while a reaper's avatar is capable of independent thought, Sierra's Revenant is not - shorn of a permanent form as it is, the part it plays is merely to enhance and augment her attacks, rather than to attack or cast anything on its own under her direction.

hi. call me sierra.i'm from singapore but spent my childhood across europe, including norway, france and the united kingdom.
english is therefore not my first language, but is in fact my third or fourth, depending on subjective chronology.
my mother tongues are japanese and mandarin, while my teaching languages have primarily been english and french.i've been playing final fantasy xiv ever since the beta test for a realm reborn back in 2013.
i started on balmung (na), but have called many other servers home since,
including sargatanas (na), cerberus (eu), shinryu (jp) and tonberry (jp).despite my origin server of balmung (na), i unfortunately do not have an extensive history of rp within ffxiv.
before going into raiding i was a fairly casual content enjoyer, and ever since i picked up raiding as a pastime,
my only other favourite content in the game has been housing design, something i still do and enjoy to this day.that being said, since the very start i have developed extensive canons for all my characters in all their different forms.
my characters are very much my blorbos, and my main character, my namesake, is who i am most proud of and with
whom I would like to explore a brand new frontier of character-based engagement in all forms of expression.if you do see me in duties, however, please be sure to say hi! i do not bite.
in fact, i would absolutely love to meet new people and learn more about you!
when outside of raid, you will mostly find me capping tomes during savage tiers,
crafting/gathering, venuehopping or on the femra/miqo ledge in tonberry limsa.
