The Campaign NPCs, Second Build
Stryfe (Unknown)
Nickname: N/A
Title(s): The Hand of Kira
Location: Vunkerl Inlet
Allegiance: Freelance
Regulars: Kira's Kingdom
When Spoken To:
"...What do you think of Kira?"
To Recruit: Select the correct answer when prompted -- "God"
"...Thank you for coming to me. Now we can punish evil with death."
In Battle:
- As a result of moogle error, Stryfe appears as a mixture of classes
- Dual-wields a Hofud and Kikoku, the relic katana
- Appears in battle assisted by "Kira's Legionnaires," male and female Hume Paladins.
- Utilizes the unique weaponskill, "Stroke of Death"
- Similar to Odin, Stryfe will switch weapons to a pen in order to perform this skill.
- "Stroke of Death" inflicts a 40-second Doom effect on all enemies in range.
Notes:
- "Stroke of Death" may fail to take effect, causing the following expression from Stryfe
- If NPC Devyn is present, Stryfe will mock her slow speed
- Can summon a black Diabolos named "Ryuuk" to aid him in battle.
- Ryuuk really doesn't contribute anything to the battle...at all.
Devyn (WHM/PLD)
Nickname: "Legs" or "Sorepants"
Titles: Cold-Hearted Elvaan, Yovra Enthusiast, Destroyer of Lin's Self-Worth
Location: Grauberg
Allegiance: San d'Oria
Regulars: N/A
When Spoken To:
"I'm not kidding this time. I didn't make Lin any pies. He's just not important enough."

"...Okay, seriously. If I sign this, will you leave me alone? And STOP STARING AT MY THIGHS!"
In Battle:
- Devyn appears as a WHM in Ares Body and Patroclus's Helm
- Dualwields a Moogle Rod and a pair of Crimson Cuisses
- Utilizes the unique weaponskill "Elvaan Female Thigh Sway"

- Trading Devyn a Yovra organ will temporarily immobilize her
- Accompanied by dialogue: "Oh, this is from one of those...tentacle things, right?
I'd better take a look at it...in private..."
- NPC Devyn's unique weaponskill may periodically fail, accompanied by a /say in which she complains about being sore.
- Periodically appears in battle wearing only a neko hat.
- Unscrable this anagram to find out what Devyn was doing last Friday! -- TENSHIDAET
Lineara
Nickname: "Glasses"
Title(s): Fabled Figure of Fangirl Fandomness, Fantastic Feline Lineara
Location: Windurst
Allegiance: Windurst
Regulars: Lineara's Epic Fangirl Troupe of Win and Awesome
When Spoken To:
"*Sniff sniff*...That meanie elvaan said...said she didn't really make me any pies! *Sob*"
To Recruit: Talk to Lineara as a female character
"...*Sniffle* D-did you want to join my fangirl brigade...?"
Talking to Lineara as an elvaan female, face 6A (Long silver hair) will cause him to flee the zone.
In Battle:
- Lineara appears as a Scholar, but without her trademark glasses
- Instead, Lineara dualwields a Hagun and a Mandau
- Appears in battle accompanied by "Lineara's Epic Fangirl Troupe of Win and Awesome" consisting of other female characters wearing Lineara T-shirts
- Utilizes the unique weaponskill "Hare Hare Yukai" with two variants
- "Hare Hare Yukai" is a synchronized dance attack with Lineara's regulars.
- "Hare Hare Yukai - Lineara Fangirl Mix" will heal Lineara and her regulars to full HP and remove any status effects.
- "Hare Hare Yukai - Epic Scholar Glasses of Judgement Mix" will inflict all Helix spells to all enemies in range.
Notes:
- If NPC Stryfe is present, Lineara will spout Fate/Stay Night spoilers in /say, causing Stryfe to flee the area.
- If NPC Devyn is present, Lineara will not engage for three minutes, and will instead whimper in /say.
- Lineara's pulling skills have not improved since the previous update, and will still link all the Fomors present in the zone.
- JELANDAAAAA
- Despite being female, Lineara seems to attract a large female fanbase. The author is unsure how to explain this.
Ferrish (PUP/BLM)
Nickname: "Smallfry"
Title(s): The Great Destroyer, Purveyor of Potent Puppetry, Prick (so called by NPC Devyn)
Location: Sarutabaruta
Allegiance: Windurst
Regulars: Ferrish's Overloaded Ob Brigade
When Spoken To:
"WHO GAVE YOU PERMISSION TO BARTER WORDS WITH THE GREAT DESTROYER?!"
To Recruit: Trade Ferrish a ZNM pop item.
"What's this? A ZNM pop item?! Sounds like a job for PUPPETMASTER!"

- Ferrish appears as a PUP/BLM

- Utilizes the unique weaponskill "Puppet Barrage of Dooooom"
- This is a team attack with Ferrish's regulars, an AoE Magic Mortar/Armor
Piercer combination
- Can cast Black Mage spells up to Ancient Magic II
Notes:
- If NPC Stryfe is present, he and Ferrish can perform a team attack, similar to Steiner and Vivi in FF9
- If NPC Devyn is present, Ferrish will attempt to magic burst off of her skillchains
- Ferrish often uses Sleep II where Sleepga II would've been more effective
- Does not respond to any type of chat that requires he type on a keyboard.
- Because of his size, Ferrish is quite portable, and for your convenience, fits easily into most overhead storage bins.
- Ferrish needs to hang out with the PST crowd more, so the author has more material to put here.
Ralrra (PLD/DNC)
Nickname: N/A
Title(s): Token Galka
Location: Gustaberg
Allegiance: Bastok
Regulars: The Persecuted Galka Dance Troupe
When Spoken To:
"...What? You've never seen a Galka dance before?"
To Recruit: Trade Ralrra a flower (any kind)
"Oh? Another flower for my tiara? Well....I GUESS I could help you out then..."
In Battle:
- Ralrra appears as a PLD/DNC
- Appears in battle assisted by the "Persecuted Galka Dance Troupe," consisting of Galkas in mining attire.
- Utilizes the unique weaponskill "Super Crusher Jig"
- Causes earth damage and slows all enemies in range
- Ralrra and his regulars also have access to the Galka-unique weaponskill, "Mega Body Slam"
- This weaponskill should be self-explanatory
Notes:
- The Persecuted Galka Dance Troupe will accompany their attacks with phrases in /say, usually expressions of rage against Humes, or demands for reparations.
- Ralrra will receive no further Campaign NPC updates until he stops playing WoW, forever.
- Ralrra and his Galka regulars will occasionally form a chorus line and sing "Macho Man", accompanied by Ralrra's dancing.
Crayne (WHM/PLD)
Nickname: "Megaphone"
Title(s): Dhalmel
Location: Seaside Ventrilo
Allegiance: N/A
Regulars: N/A
When Spoken To:
"I DIED IN CAMPAIGN BUT NO ONE WILL RAISE ME OH LOOK A TURRET I WANT IRON RAM GEARZ FOR MY LEVEL 20 PLD OMG I JUST DINGED INTO FULL KAMPF SET LOLOL VALOR SUCKS WAIT I NEED TO SUMMON RAMUH..."
- Author's Note: He kept talking, but I tuned him out after that point.
To Recruit: Save yourself the trouble and don't.
In Battle:
- Crayne appears in battle as a WHM with Dark Staff
- Rather than engage, Crayne will talk to death all enemies in the zone
- Due to his lack of control, the talking will likely cause PCs in the zone to die as well.
- Utilizes the unique weaponskill "Go AFK for 30 Minutes When Limbus Is About to Start"
- This weaponskill does no damage, but pisses Ferrish off.
- Can cast curative spells, but only at 50% effectiveness due to Dark Staff
Notes:
- Sometimes appears in battle as an underleveled PLD wearing a combination of Iron Ram and Kampfbrust sets. Usually dies in the first five minutes.
- May cause NPCs Stryfe, Lineara, Devyn or Ferrish to flee the zone.
- Occasionally summons Ramuh to use "Rolling Thunder" instead of curing
- Ramuh may disobey this order and unsummon himself, because even Ramuh knows he should be curing instead.
I had to cut this entry shorter than I would've liked, but I think it's better to split it into two parts, since I'm still overdue on an Anime Expo entry and current updates about FFXI. Next Campaign NPC entry will contain -- Sarba, Michilo, Razvan, Reeper/Devyn Pair, and a 'secret' NPC ;3
