Enriquez

 * A chance encounter with a FFXI box in a store, combined with a friend's suggestion that we play the game together, resulted in the creation of Enriquez in November of 2003. Hume male, F1A, of Windurstian nationality.

The Early Days

 * Enriquez and the aforementioned friend (Xele, taru) set up a social linkshell named SelenicSyndicate, named after a fictional location in something I'd written long ago. Late 2003 and most of the first half of 2004 were the time when new friends were made, jobs were leveled, and jobs niches were found.  Soon into the summer, Enriquez, Xele, Genas, Kombatkyle, and Bachtier formed a static exp group that consisted of DRK, BLM, PLD, DRG(->RNG), WHM, respectively.  The group gained level 61-62 before disbanding.  At the same time, I was also working of THF, which began to pull ahead of DRK.

Past the 60s

 * With the static band broken up, I was left to fend for myself in terms of exp. At this time, I was also beginning to take an interest in leveling Ninja, and dedicated some time that would have otherwise been spent on THF and DRK into it.  However, the poor quality and sadly lacking ability of most parties was very discouraging for NIN.  I decided it was no longer my intent to continue leveling the job, and retired it at 56.


 * Thusly I continued THF and DRK, not unoften leaving good impressions on others, who tended to invite me whenever they would subsequently make parties. THF pulled a bit further ahead of DRK going into the fall season, until I met a static group that took a liking to my DRK.  Joining them each evening that they formed up, DRK climbed higher towards 70.  THF would see 73 before DRK saw 70, but DRK would soon see 75 before THF did.


 * At this point in time, approaching winter of 2004, I was invited to join the endgame LS LuckySevens, which I maintained involvement with (excluding a 2-month hiatus) until its dissolution in autumn of 2006.

75 and Beyond

 * With both primary jobs at 75, and looking for a way to increase my versatility, I took up the staff as a Black Mage, which I actually originally intended only to get to 17, for the spell Warp. However, I took a liking to it, and with an unspeakable amount of free time on my hands, I took the job to 75 in about 3 months, finishing in June 2005.  My memory is rather hazy in the inbetween time, since it was filled with HNM and Sky tedium.  A good deal was accomplished, Fafnir, Nidhogg, Kirin, Aspidochelone, etc.


 * Somewhere in the inbetween time I participated in a BLM-burned Divine Might, and chose the Suppanomimi after a good deal of self-deliberation. Later I would come back to La'Loff to assist again, for over 6 hours in a manaburned run as BLM.


 * With the burn of leveling Black Mage long gone from my memory, I began to probe around looking for a new project. After a re-trial of Ninja, I decided to once again level the job.  From late fall 2005 to spring 2006, Ninja went from 56 to 75 in my time that was not occupied with LS activity.

Legacy and Promathia

 * The aforementioned group that took a liking to my DRK also invited me to their linkshell, and after a good deal of time, around the same time that I was working on Ninja, we proceeded through the Chains of Promathia missions. Some of the most memorable events include tanking all the mammets on the 6-4 Airship fight with a wicked evasion setup, scraping by with the win on the second go-around against Ultima, the ardor of the horrible Z'Dei fight, and the well-fought Promathia battle.  A small time later, the Apocalypse Nigh storyline addition was tacked on, and though I went through most of this quest with the group and attempted it multiple times with them, it was with a different group that I actually won.  On DRK I pulled out astonishing damage on each of the brothers, breaking 2088 damage on Eald'narche with Spiral Hell and 1840 on Kam'la'naut with Ground Strike.  With BLM being my most well-rounded well-equipped job at the time, I opted for the Static Earring.
