My main & alt's ID-card adventurer plates

Here are the plates for my main & my alt. The reason they are so similar is that the main part (frame, background & portrait) are supposed to be ID cards for the organization I created post 6.0 that they both belong to, with the other stuff supposed to be items reflecting their own individual quirks. Said organization is (spoilers for 6.0) >!The New Convocation of Fourteen. Laura is the seat of Azem & Raven is the seat of Emmeroloth.!< The headgear that they wear with their sophist's robes also reflects their role in the organization.

Side note, but my alt is supposed to be the same Raven Queen who is one of the main characters in Ever After High. Unfortunately someone else had taken the name, so I had to add an extra e at the end of her last name (which kinda fits with FF14's pseudo-archaic English styling anyways).

So, after watching some friends stream this game, as well as Chiselchip's Pirate Tavern tutorial, I decided to give this game a try. So far I really like it. Combat is a bit on the punishing side, but roughly about like how Valheim is, so I can deal with it. The naval combat & building system, though are just perfection!

I'm really impressed with the variety of building parts available right off the bat or with only minimal effort. This starter base I built on the starting island was built entirely using the default build set plus a few other plans I picked up from exploring ruins on the nearby jungle islands. I still haven't taken on the first boss, or bought any of the other building set plans that cost gold Guineas yet, but I plan on doing both tonight. Probably getting the Plank & Stone set from the smugglers so I can update this build into something less ramshackle looking. Still, very impressed with the building system in this game, and have been having entirely too much fun being an absolute nightmare for Blackbeard's shipping in my level 5 ketch, *Renegade Runner* (OG Lego Pirates fans will get that reference). I even took out a level 7 Blackbeard Interceptor last night before going to bed (at an entirely too late of a time).
