Shale | FFXIV Dawntrail

Shale is the hacker and chairperson of Oblivion, the rebel-organization led by a woman called Cahciua to fight against Queen Sphene and King Zarool Ja. Zarool Ja wishes to take over a different shard, or different dimension, called the source, which he originates from. With the help of Queen Sphene and her empire, the Alexandrian empire. Oblivion was created in order to stop Alexandria from taking over other realms, as their goal is to harvest all of its aether for themselves.

Shale is an Elezen, and thus rather tall and has two long sharp ears, similar to an elves. Shale has short blonde cut hair, dark eyelashes, soft light skin and usually wears a jacket with jeans as well as gloves and boots, all of which are covered with decorative metal platings and belts as well as a white shirt underneath and a black choker. Shale has blue eyes and is around 29 years old.

Shale is a very laid back and kind person, she usually speaks in a dead-pan way but also has a good sense of humor. She is somewhat of a tomboy, not minding if she comes across as un-womanly or not lady-like, which is also seen in her hobby and interest of hacking and mechanical work she does for Oblivion. Though usually Shale remains laid back, relaxed and friendly, she can turn serious and defend herself if the situation calls for it.

Oblivion is a rather small group and thus relies of Shale for her expertise quite often. Thus, Shale became a bit of a workaholic and secretly wishes to have someone in Oblivion to not be there to always help with technological stuff, but to be proper friends with, or preferably even something more - a lover of hers. Shale is also invested in her work and sometimes tends to ramble on and on about her various interests and ways she managed to find weaknesses in Zarool Ja's military database. Before joining Oblivion, Shale was living a life of excesses, bound for an early grave, until Cahciua came along. Though to her, Shale was a complete stranger, Cahciua took her under her wing and set her straight, something Shale is deeply thankful for. Shale feels indebted and thankful to Cahciua and wishes to one day repay her for showing her this path in life.

Alexandria and its citizens reside in the city of Solution 9. Inside Solution 9 is also the "backrooms", which is the base where Oblivion resides. The backrooms are hidden in the backrooms of a bar in Solution 9. Solution 9 and Alexandria is a civilization with very advanced technology. They use flying bikes, devices that restore the soul upon death thus reviving them and even teleporters. Solution 9 is full of neon lights and modern fashion and is also home to the Arcadion Arena where fighters duke it out for the viewers entertainment. Oblivion usually works on gathering and stealing information from Alexandrias military, sabotaging their supply chains as well as hacking into their databases. Cahciua, Oblivions leader, is never with her gang in person. Instead, she uses a small robot with two floating hands that she controls from somewhere else in order to be with them, as she is careful to not show herself to anyone and potentially risk being captured or spotted. Even Shale and the other members don't know Cahciuas real appearance, yet despite this she is a very kind, loving and motherly leader.
