  PERSONALITY:   Ms. Velastrea is a soft tender bun. Sees herself as a classy woman and really values appearances, specially her own. A well mannered and respected lady like her must put a good effort on her looks and know-hows, that's why she spends long afternoons reading and walking around the Studium's surroundings. There's always a chance to run into one of her colleagues and share a nice session to catch up on the last published works of her peers. She can be quite goofy at times and enjoys teasing and sharing laughs with friends and strangers alike. Pair that with her charming and flirty nature and you have the cocktail for a sweet motherly figure that is always up for a warm hug.  BACKGROUND.   Azyna is an old viera, or was, before turning into the Succubun she is nowadays. A deal was made between two halves of a Soul, and ever since that day, this Viera's very own existence became intertwined with that of her counterpart, effectively turning into a new higher being... An inmortal one.Now she goes on with her life with a new renowned purpose, a shared one that is... Carrying on her work across the globe as an Archaeologist for the Thesauros Museum while at the same time satiating her ever-lasting hunger for sweet delicious aether.Of course, there's more to this bun's tale than that. For more details on her story, check out the Lore section.

"Have the Gods forsaken our land...?"

Our beloved ginger was nearing her matron days as a Viera when the Calamity struck her world. What later would be known to scholars as the Rejoined Tenth Shard, this Reflection was plunged into a Water-aspected disaster that engulfed the whole globe.First, there was a non-stop rain which flooded the fields, and soon after the oceans rose to shallow where valleys and mounts previously stood. Then came the storms and tsunamis, and before anyone could realize, 90% of the landmass was found under the sea level.The citizens of this doomed world elevated their pleas to their respective deities, but to no avail. No one came to save them, only destruction and death in the form of drowning. Everyone seemed to abandon all hope for survival and many cults to death arose from all the corners of the world.Azyna tried to escape this wretched fate but it was too late for her people. Barely a week before everything ended, she found herself wandering aimlessly till her footsteps carried her body to where Azyna's hometown originally once stood, now completely sunk under the waves. There was not a single soul left, not a single life to share the end of the world with. So she decided to take a final dip in those cursed waters and let the course of fate meet her end. But fate decided that her story was not about to end that day...

♦

While she was diving, Azyna opened her eyes and found a singularity seating in the depths. An ancient artifact... some kind of orb with engravings she hadn't ever seen. A voice reached to her through the orb from beyond the boundaries of the known world. This voice then explained to the Viera how she was gonna be spared from her world's demise. Clinging to this sudden last spark of hope, she listened to the voice and followed the instructions, swimming back to the surface and sitting on the ever rising shore to watch the last sunset on her once proud village.She waited for the inevitable, holding on to that device as instructed, just until everything turned blue. Just until everything ended, and she dissipated into the aether stream leaking away from the remains of the Tenth.

"This land rich on aether... I long for it."

Ever since the botched attempt from the Ascians on the Thirteenth to rejoin the Shard back to the Source, has this place turned into a never-ending battlefield between the ever-changing factions and overlords who claim the lands as their own.In a place where the sweet embrace of Death doesn't exist, and the only law it's the one imposed by the strongest and mightiest, it's only a matter of time for powerful creatures to emerge and take control of the scarce resources the Void has to offer.This is the story of the Azure Mirage, a particular Voidsent, one of those few who managed to retain some sanity and will after the Flood of Darkness transformed the inhabitants of the Thirteenth into demonic abominations.Knowing full well the limitations of her weaker form compared to those of her former compatriots, Azure decided to operate from the shadows and took advantage of her most refined skills to spread her influence and secure her place in the broken dark world. Instead of recurring to strength or arcane might alone, she followed a more indirect approach, closing deals and covenants with other Voidsents and mortals alike. She actually found those bargains made with the people from the Source to be quite fruitful in the long run, as they yielded the most aether of them all. Slowly but surely, Mirage built up her influence until the time came to test her mettle.So it came the day when a rival lord defied her to a single duel, thinking that Azure's domain was weak and ripe for the taking. Anyone can guess what happened next. Using her network of agents and favors, she managed to weaken her enemy before the final showdown, emerging victorious without breaking a sweat, and it was this victory what would mark the next chapter of her life. After going through the spoils of her newly expanded domain, there was something in particular that caught her eye among the treasuries. An orb covered in engravings that made little sense to her at that moment. But the long years of careful observation taught her not to underestimate the unknown, and after a long process of investigation, she eventually discovered the artifact's utility.After decades of constant dedication and experimentation, Azure finally cracked the thing open and unleashed the miracles of the orb. It was a window, a lens to observe what was happening in the other worlds of the sundered realm they all shared. She baptized the artifact 'Oculus' and eagerly began using it to spy on the other Shards. Azure learned that in the same way there was a Source and Thirteen Reflections, so too existed thirteen shards of this fantastic contraption, with a central command unit hidden somewhere back in the Source. These devices happened to be intertwined and linked to each other, and hold the capacity to enable communication between its bearers on each side. The creator of these devices would be a question that wouldn't be answered soon and remained a mystery even to this day...

♦

Centuries passed and turned into millennia, with Azure in possession of this item. Using it to expand her knowledge on the dimensional state of the world and the Rift which breaks them apart. She eventually figured what was happening to other Shards when they started disappearing one by one, caused by this sudden catastrophes that rejoined their aether with the Source. So, with that in mind, she put in motion a plan for her own downfall back in the Void. Pulling the right strings, she orchestrated the ascension of one of her most trusted lieutenants and inspired her to defy her leadership, making it look to the public eye that her disciple's ambition had greatly surpassed her own's.When the inevitable clash of the two Void ladies happened, Azure let herself be defeated and then triggered her fail-safe measure prepared for so long for this exact outcome. In the very moment of her demise, her aether didn't dissipate to be devoured by her vanquisher. Instead, her soul was redirected, aether followed, and banished into the Rift between worlds.It happens that prior to the fight that would end her reign in the Thirteenth, she cast an enchantment on the artifact, effectively binding her Soul to it and then breaking off her most precious Oculus for the first time in forever, by throwing it into the inter-dimensional abyss.Here, in this ethereal pocket-realm she built floating in the middle of the Rift, the Voidsent lied waiting for an opportunity that would eventually present itself, one that would advance the next phase of her plan.

♦

"In this place devoid of life, we'll forge our everlasting covenant. Our souls forever reunited."

"Finally!" Azure thought, when the Water-aspected stream of aether crossed the empty abyss of the Rift. She had relocated her pocket-realm in advance, now renamed as the Dimensional Nexus, to meet with the torrent's path on its course to the Source. Then, using the Oculus to locate her target in the stream, she anchored an etherial rope and pulled from it, bringing forth the artifact's counterpart from that world, along with the aether latched onto its surface, which contained the body and soul of her soon-to-become savior. With a simple spell she gave it form, and the shape of Azyna manifested before her.Mirage then proceeded to explain to the redhead that this was the last chance they both had to start a new life. She shared with Azyna all she knew about the current state of the world and how their only way forward is to go to the Source and begin anew together, as one. This caught Azyna off-guard as she didn't fully understand what she meant by that. Then the Voidsent enlightened her by showing proof that they are two halves of the same fractured Soul. Using her dark magic, which is astral by nature, they could rejoin together and become a stronger being.Warning Azyna that she's not sure how much time they have left, as time itself works in mysterious ways within the Rift space, she went into detail about the nature of souls, and the Voidsent's plan to reach the world of origin. The idea is to use Azyna's body as template and rejoin with the rest of the fragmented soul in the Source, in hopes to be made whole again in a place where an abundance of aether lies ready and ripe for the taking.

♦

Azure decided to be completely honest with the Viera and told her what would awaited her if she agreed to carry on with her plan. Given that her dark magic was the source of the rejoining spell, she would be reborn as a creature not much different from a Voidsent when they reached their destination.Mirage also stated that she was giving her the benefit of the choice, something she didn't have when she turned into a Voidsent herself. And of course, the only alternative to the plan would have both women fading away for eternity in a forsaken place away from any Lifestream and any chance to be reborn.

After giving it a thought, Azyna agreed to go on with her counterpart's plan, concluding that there was nothing left of her world, no place to return, and that it would never come back. The only way left was to look onward and risk it all for a new beginning.And thus, did the two women leapt together into the chaotic torrent of Water-aspected aether, holding each other's hands as the stream hauled them towards their destination, where the barrier between worlds and souls was quickly drawing thinner.Onwards to a new horizon... Onwards to a new life.

♦

"Could we possibly deserve this second chance in life...?"

There was always a chance the plan could have failed, Azyna discovered, when both their souls merged into one and their memories intertwined. But it seemed that the elongated life of her Voidsent partner as a master of the arcane worked in their favor, bringing about the miracle of their rejoining, first, just between Azyna and Azure, and after that, all that was left was locating the rest of their soul in the Source. A task that proved harder than they anticipated.When they arrived into the outskirts of the Source, they found a world in turmoil. A Calamity of Water was desolating the lands, plunging the Star into the same type of apocalyptic events Azyna experienced back in the Tenth.They sought for the remaining part of their soul but only found its body, who had perished just days prior to their arrival. But not everything was lost yet, for they rushed into the Lifestream and located the fragment of their half, not yet assimilated by the cycle of rebirth.A struck of luck, actually. In this case, the Calamity may have worked in their favor, as the Lifestream was being saturated with so many souls re-entering the torrent from both the Source and the broken Shard. This offered them the opportunity to hack the system and hijack the particular shining beacon they were looking for, quickly making their way back to the land of the living, where they were made whole anew, using the ginger bun as template for the body as planned, and adding Azure's dark nature as the color of their Soul, effectively becoming an almost whole perfect being.

And thus was Azyna Velastrea reborn as a Voidsent of the Source.

♦

Waking in the aftermath of the Sixth Umbral Calamity, Azyna wandered these, for her, yet unkown lands. Learning to master her new nature as Succubun as a result from the weakened state in which she ended up when arriving at the Source. She had to start from nothing and slowly recover all the power she lost, consumed in the feat of trans-dimensional travel through the Rift.So she journeyed the Realm, learning about the history and cultures of the three continents as their civilizations rose and prosper, until she found a place where she felt comfortable enough to satiate both her apetites: wisdom and lust. Sharlayan would become her home and base of operations for centuries to come. She became a reliable adventurer, then a trusty advisor, and finally a citizen proper after graduating a career in Aetherology. Somehow she managed to find a way for people not to grow suspicious about her lack of aging after so many years... But that's a story for another time.One thing is for certain, and is an evident feature that she has grown wider and thicker throughout the years. It seams that feeding on the lifeforce of so many souls has nurtured both her mind and body ostensibly.

For now, Ms. Velastrea keeps gathering her strength while partaking in the fruits the lands of Eorzea has to offer. Who knows then, what runs through this creature's mind and what may be her end goal? Only time will tell...

♦

  Ventures  
Due to the nature of her work, Azyna often finds herself travelling a lot across the world. There is always some ancient ruins to explore, some mystery to unearth and some artifacts to retrieve. It's her duty to study and bring back to civilization all these secrets to share with the common folk. In the end, it all belongs in a museum, right?

♥

  Mysteries of the Land  
Although she greatly enjoys the thrill of adventure and discovering places no one has set foot on for hundreds of years, she knows really well the perils and dangers that await those who dare to unearth ancient secrets.
With each successive expedition she has grown cautious and composed, knowing full well that at every turn of a corner a new world-wide threat could be unleashed due to ignorant hands tinkering with the unknown.
Nonetheless, she has found a way to become stronger and wiser with every discovery, as some of the uncovered artifacts may prove quite rich in aether that her succubun half would find quite nurturing.
And yet, she has a fixation, as she keeps going on expeditions in hopes to someday find the Source's Oculus (check the lore section for more details).

♥

  Academic Life  
Along with her fieldwork, Ms. Velastrea also acts as a teacher when she's back in her homeland. While not venturing the lands in one of her outward expeditions, she spends her days lecturing younger generations at the Studium back when her feet lie in Sharlayan. She also imparts seminars at the Thesauros Museum to share all the discoveries from her journeys overseas.[The Thesauros Museum is a personal invention of mine. Let's say that it works as some kind of Annex to the Noumenon Library, holding a sizable recollection of artifacts and art from a myriad of cultures.]

♥

  High Society  
Although Azyna finds herself more often than not running through the mud and dirt when she's on her travels, it's not rare to see her attending a pompous soiree from time to time where she meets and greets all kinds of personalities.
Invited in by celebrities or patrons of the museum, it's in these gatherings where she's able to collect a lot of tips and bits about potential destinations for her line of work.
And, of course, using her succubun charming powers, she may take the chance to spread her influence among the elites who attend from all corners of the world. Thus, adding new entries to her contacts agenda, partners who may become something more than they would have anticipated, in case they decide to be put under Azyna's claws.

♥

  Across the Rift  
It is to her knowledge that the nature of the world of Etheirys grows beyond the physical boundaries any mortal can touch and feel. She knows full well about the other worlds known as 'Reflections' or 'Shards', and finds this matter of particular interest, even so as to dream with travelling to these fantastic places to see what they all have to offer to satiate both her hunger for knowledge and her more... exquisite appetite.

♥

  Voidsent  
Azyna is a Voidsent. As such, her aether leans towards Darkness with all that it implies. Only those akin to the same nature, or versed in specific detection magicks, may immediately find about her condition and recognize her for what she really is.
Naturally, she keeps this trait a secret, so people don't go on a crazy witch hunt after her as her kind are unfortunately frowned upon by the public eye.

♥

  Succubun  
Not only she's a Voidsent, but a particular kind of one. A Succubus with an 'n' as she jokingly calls it, really is no different from regular succubi, only that she keeps her characteristic long ears.
As such, she has a particular way to feed herself of the required aether from other living beings. Anyone who is familiar with stories about these creatures may already know what this entails.
As succubun, she irradiates a natural charm to those around her. A set of pheromones mixed with a lust-aspected aura, making everyone in presence of Azyna to feel slightly aroused and dizzy, instilling all kind of soothing thoughts while she's around. She often uses this trait to her advantage, luring in potential meals for the night... But she can also use it for good, like making students pay attention to her class!!

♥

  Corruption  
Few people in the realm are ready for this, and even fewer are able to resist its charm.
Succubi are probably the most dangerous of Voidsent. Not because of sheer strength, or magic prowess, no. Although they could easily grow strong enough to carry out extraordinary feats, if left alone...
But their real might comes from their ability to easily turn others against their own, and even themselves.
They are highly seductive creatures with a whole arsenal of tools with the sole purpose of swaying others to their cause. And in most extreme cases, even transform their conquests into newborn voidspawn to serve their will.
What would happen if a particular sharlayan professor happens to be set in building a secret coven for her fellow Voidsent? Would she keep it in the shadows, away from prying eyes? Or would she rather be waiting for the perfect moment to unleash her might upon an unsuspecting Eorzea?
