=Kalani's Mules= As you can see from this page, I have several mules. Including my main, Kalani, I have ten characters in total. Unlike many people, I plan to level them out and build them up as full fledged characters despite their duty as holding cells for various items. I have big plans and dreams for these side characters.

In particular, I have an irrational dream of making a full fledged crafting Handle. Each of the characters in here, with the exception of Onenightstand, is intended to be suit a particular crafting function. The idea was I'd be able to work with anything that dropped of any monster and turn them into appreciable products. More importantly, though, it'd give me a bit more independence from the Auction House, from other players, and particularly from the almighty Gil.

Each character's name is very special and personal to me, and is drafted from real characters in the original stories I write in real life. They have a specific job that is intended to be their main, but just like Kalani, I plan to enjoy leveling all their jobs and experiencing each job as each race. To note, I have a character of each gender and race. Aside from keeping track of their accomplishments and goals, I made this page to set up raw data for eventual projects that compare the different races from each other in a practical sense (actual data, as opposed to theoretics and calculations). See? I'm not totally narcissistic. Just mostly.

Each has the same basic template of their main jobs' experience goal, thier jobs' levels, and crafting levels'. Of course, it starts with their personal bios.

In realistic terms, I'm holding off on alot of their leveling, including their crafts, until I can complete Kalani's crafting and progression as a Thief. This is an attempt to maintain efficiency. Instead of wasting gil on several different characters on different paths, I'm attempting to focus on a linear program of crafting completion. I actually don't plan to play this game seriously until I get my crafts to 100, sub crafts (that are applicable) to 60, the various crafting items, and so on. Let's see how that works out, nee?

A program I am planning to put them through on the side, though, is leveling their Black Mage, White Mage, and Thief jobs for the sake of self maintenance. Warp and the various teleports will cut down alot on their lag time moving them around, and Treasure Hunter II is just a nice thing to have when farming, which is my prefered way of gathering materials. So, a few of their main jobs may be entirely neglected for the sake of these three jobs which are entirely efficiency minded at the moment. Without further ado (sp?):

Tanin'iver [[Image:Hm2a.jpg|80px]]
A dragon in Hebrew mythology, used as a steed by Lilith during the last days; refered to as a blind dragon, 'a serpent that does not see'. Tanin'iver was my first mule, and has extreme sentimental value to me. He was ordained to be my goldsmither, and I plan to make him a Summoner. He is a Bastok native at Rank 2-3 (ready for the final fight).

Hecate [[Image:Tf1a.jpg|80px]]
Greek Goddess of Witchcraft and the Dark Side of the Moon. Where Tanin'iver is personal to me as a character in game, Hecate is extremely personal to me as a character in my story. She is psychotic, malevolent, insecure, and a pyro hooked on happy pills. Sounds like a Tarutaru to me.

Being true to her name and her character in my story, Hecate is a Black Mage. I have the intention of experimenting with the extremely chastised BLM/SMN job pairing with her, but we'll see. Thus far, I'm enjoying BLM/RDM as the most efficient of job combos. So we'll see where that takes us. Woodworking- allowing her to make her own staves- was alloted to this mule. She is San d'Oria native, and at Rank 5 (solo'd Mission 4, I might add).

Craft Skills:

Astrophel [[Image:Ef4b.jpg|80px]]
The name is Latin for "star lover", originating in the 16th Century from poetry. Astrophel is my little alchemist. She is San d'Orian, but has done no missions. I took her to Jeuno at level one (and I must say, that was one very hellish challenge- died once in Jugner, then made it straight through with no problems). She was going to just be a local Jeunon emissary, but I had better plans for her. She currently resides in Bastok for the sake of leveling up Alchemy (forgot about the level cap at 10 while leveling in Jeuno- wasted alot of gil- was very mad; 'nuff said). I plan to make her a Paladin, and a White Mage on the side, but thus far, I admit, I've done next to nothing with her, job wise.

Lior [[Image:G5a.jpg|80px]]
Hebrew for (my) 'light'. I took the name from a movie called Yossi v' Jagger. Extremely sad. Anyways, he is my weapons mule, and my master chef. Cooking will be his niche', and hopefully that will make his crafting a bit lighter on the pocketbook. I intend to make his main job Warrior, enliving the glory days of the ultimate blood tank. (Rampage? {No thanks.}) He is a Windurst native. No progress yet in missions.

Vigrid [[Image:Hf8a.jpg|80px]]
Vígríðr, the great plane where Ragnarök will take place and the Valkyrie will take their slain warriors for the final battle. She is my smithee, and holds my armor and shields. I plan to make her a Monk, as I just really like the way female Humes look in Temple attire. She has started 2-3 for Bastok, and I plan to get her moving along soon as I get Tanin'iver to Rank 5.

Craft Skills:

Barak [[Image:Em7a.jpg|80px]]
"Thunder/Lightning" in Hebrew. He was the general who led the armies of Deborah in Judges from the Old Testament of the Bible (Deborah being the only female prophet I know of in conservative Christianity). He was very dashing, I imagine. Anyways, he is my Leathworker, but mostly just holds items of a nonorganic nature for later crafting purposes. Mostly overloaded with threads and cloths for Kalani's guild points. He is San d'Orian, on mission 1-2, and I plan to make him a Red Mage.

Athanasios [[Image:Tm2b.jpg|80px]]
"Immortal", in Greek, specifically a combination of the prefix, 'a-' (anti/negative) and 'Thanatos', the personification of Death. Mostly, it's the relation to Thanatos that makes me quiver with joy about this name. Positively my most active mule, responsible for my organic items. Because that includes scorpion claws and shells, an bird/insect wings, it keeps him on the go between the AH and the MH, just to put things up for sale and sending things to Kalani for fletching. I've reincarnated him several times trying to find a name I was happy with; after two and a half years, I think I finally found it. He is a Windurstian, with no progress in missions. I want to make him a Ninja, to complete the dark persona, and a Bonecrafter to boot. I may end up dabbling in Blue Mage, too, though. Because I've reincarnated him so many times, I've lost several levels of Bonecrafting on the old Enrinye and Dilios. Just shows you where I put my priorities in this game. >_>

Craft Skills:

Kyozoku [[Image:M6b.jpg|80px]]
Japanese for 'pirate overlord'. Before, I had no idea what I'd do with this cat. Now, of course, there's Corsair! Kyozoku is going to be my Fisherman, and for the most part, I hate fishing. I'm hoping Kyo will teach me to love it, but thus far, I'm really hating it (predominantly from the .2 skillups I've received hours of a session with the vixxen). She is naturally a Windurst kitty, and before I get the cat to Aht Urghan, I'm going to take up Thief and Ranger.

Onenightstand [[Image:G8a.jpg|80px]]
I'm pretty confident that this name is self explanatory. It was originally intended to be a pun as he was going to be my Bazaar mule. Alas, he will probably end up being my one true storage mule. Being overloaded with as many Cabinets as can be fitted into that tiny little hole in Bastok he came out of, he might as well be a fisherman ("Your house is about to explode with your fishing moghancement, kupo!"). In honesty, I think the fact that he hasn't been leveling is the only reason I haven't been accosted by the GM's and forced to change it. But, until then, I have two jobs that fit his title perfectly: Bard, and Puppetmaster. Bazaar comment reads: "Call me..."
