Mindus A. Debsin | Qen'liar Daemon

This is a simple page to make more friends from FFXIV and its social spheres!
I became aware of Final Fantasy XIV during the ARR relaunch in 2014. I had no friends to play with, but started by myself on Crystal-Diabolos and Ul'dah as Thaumaturge/Archer -> Black Mage!

Duskwight Elezen is my fantasy personality -- a Dark Elf.

When I began Final Fantasy XIV, I chose Diabolos for two reasons: I remember the GF Diabolos from Final Fantasy VIII, and because Diabolos sounded like an FF version of the Spanish word "Diablos." I have since played on Seraph to take advantage of higher XP gains, but quickly came back to Diabolos to rejoin my long-time FC, "Aphyria."I have truthfully only used Fantasia once, during the Dawntrail graphics upgrade. I don't recall changing anything.
My character's name began as "Tiberias Lunatique" and later was "Qen'leiar Debsin." I am very pleased with my current "Qen'liar Daemon"!I have considered leaving Aphyria because it feels as if no matter how hard I try to socialize and don't make any obvious social blunders, I am always ignored and my good intentions are not recognized. If I did leave, I would carefully research a receiving FC and make certain I was welcome. I am considering Primal - Leviathan for a new home, because I like competitive PvP!

I am a collector of FFXIV books and posters, and not just for the minions.

FFXIV is undeniably fictional. However, I deeply respect what has been made of it and how little it is monetized. I also feel that it is beyond what I could ever create or even fully comprehend.My favorite part is the grandiose story, seemingly culminating in Shadowbringers and Endwalker. I am currently in Post-Shadowbringers, so I am truly looking forward to finishing ShB and attentively progressing through Endwalker Main Story!I play XIV while listening to Japanese vocale, and am curious as to why the English has such a fantasy British accent. I am bothered by the credit roll at the end of expansions in which nearly all names are Japanese. I believe that the story should be more internationally credited and creatively invented.

I am Mindus Amitiel Debsin, and was born "Steven J Brock-Chiara." Openness is a scary but good-intentioned personal principle.

I am on disability but my purpose in life, before and now, has never been to stay home and play "vidja games."One of my current goals is to become far more social and effective with foreign languages. I want to be able to survive in overpopulated and foreign places, without having to be sent home.I am very interested in journeys similar to the Goliath Expedition, and I know for a certainty that I am capable of surviving such a journey.My path of interest is Westward, across the Pacific Ocean.

I am skilled with computers, and have a lot of knowledge over the years of how electronics are designed.

I am very pro-FOSS, and have been daily drivering Linux distros for 6+ years. My favorite distribution for gaming is Bazzite, and I use Ubuntu XFCE for non-gaming usage.I am currently in the process of a web-purge, IE "to clean up my online identity." I also intend to be more positive and less snarky in my online tone.

I jumped on PaxWest 2025 (my third time) after reading that Yoshi-P will be attending Friday and Sunday. I made an XIV customized-hoodie and got it signed by XIV director Yoshi-P!

I got very lucky and happenstance-like got signing-event tickets to see Yoshi-P.I also attended both the Friday and Sunday Yoshi-P events. I noticed that he talked in a grandiose-Japanese way, as if to promote his native language and culture.While waiting in line at the autograph event, I noticed him travel outside and get fresh air. Gossip: I truly hope he is not a smoker!
