Due to huge walls of text, the following NPC entries are in spoiler tags.
Unfortunately, since I plan to write a TON of details, this post will be edited as information is added. I will post when I change things.

Looking at the cylinder holstered at her side and the pendant dangling on her chest, you can tell she is an alchemist. She has short, brown hair draping just past her shoulders with a braid tracing her hairline, kept back with a simple pink hairband. She looks at you with her soft, violet colored eyes.
"Hiya! What brings you here?"

Backstory: Keiko is a very curious person, wondering about the world around her. She had arrived alongside her brother to live in Erinn, however their paths had split. Keiko focused on the arts of Swordplay, but was interested in Healing arts, believing survival is very crucial to her. Despite these efforts, she suffers from an inferiority complex with people having stronger combat abilities than her even if she is the saving grace of most parties. Even then, her mood tends to bounce back up, making her quite a peppy person.
Upon the discovery of Iria, Keiko was invited to explore the desert region of Connus with an Expedition Party. Upon being welcomed to Filia, she was allowed to socialize and travel with an elf as an exchange of trust. There were many capable elves in Connus, but she was drawn to a lonely elf boy named Shiryoku. Although Castanea forewarned Keiko of the his disability, she still wanted to travel with him. This was when Keiko changed Shiryoku's life forever after years of traveling with him.
Still, Keiko has concerns with her combat abilities. This was changed when she learned of Tailltean, the town of Alchemy. Keiko trained to become a skilled alchemist upon first entering the town and ambitiously learned the basics, even aspiring to master these skills someday. Almost like a calling, her love for alchemy made her stronger physically and emotionally. In fact, it was her ordeals in the Shadow Realm with Leymore and Cai that aspired her to become a Royal Alchemist. She is extremely capable of becoming one, but that dream has yet to become a reality. This doesn't stop her to become one of the best, however.
Keyword Responses
[Private Story]
- My name is Keiko. I'm an Alchemist currently studying in Taillteann.
- I'm currently studying alchemy under Dorren here, but sometimes I teach myself some alchemy outside classes.
- I came to settle here alongside my brother, however it seems he is more interested in magic.
- I do love a good song now and then. Too bad it would be hard to hear under the sound of steam from the ovens...
- I wish to become a Royal Alchemist like Leymore someday. So far my efforts still fall short...
[Nearby Rumors]
- I wonder how my brother's doing...
- There isn't much to talk about here.
- The Shadow Realm is a really peculiar world. It's like looking at a mirror, without the mirror.
[Generic "I don't know" Responses]
- Excuse me?
- I'm sorry, but I don't know that.
- Can we talk about something else?
- Hmm...that's news to me.
- I think someone else would know that better than me.
- You tell me (player name), I don't know anything about that.
[Magical Properties without Elementals]
- Eeh? Where did you hear that? People rarely talk about that and I've only read about it in a book from the Dunbarton Library. It is said a magic user can add elemental properties without the need of an Elemental. I know something like Shock imbues electric qualities on the target, but that's a different subject. Maybe you should ask my brother about that. (Replaces the keyword with [Enchanted Armor])
RP Quest Chain Part 1: Of a Feather
Requires "known each other for years" friendship level.
[SPOILER="Spoiler"]Talk to Keiko about Private Story...
"You know, talking to you reminds me of a very close friend I met back in Iria. It was about three years ago upon our first encounter but it feels like it just happened yesterday."
[PICTURE OF KEIKO AND SHIRYOKU'S FIRST MEETING GOES HERE.]
"His name is Shiryoku, an elf from Filia. He's a really shy person, but he's got a good heart. However, I was extremely concerned about being isolated from his own kind."
[PICTURE OF KEIKO AND SHIRYOKU ON THEIR FIRST ADVENTURE GOES HERE.]
"Castanea allowed me to take him outside the Connus region, so I took advantage of that privilege. Our first adventure together took place in the Karu Forest Ruins."
*Keiko hands you a Feathered Charm*
"If you offer this at the altar, you should be able to see our first adventure together. Just so you know, I looked quite different back then!"
[INDENT]Item - Feathered Charm
A small pendant decorated with feathers. It seems handmade, and well kept.[/INDENT]
If you lost the Feathered Charm somehow...
You lost it?! But how!? Well...here's another one...but do be careful!
This RP requires two players.
The RP will revolve around Keiko and Shiryoku, three years ago. Young Keiko (Age 15) will have the following skills.

Scenes
[INDENT]
Upon Entry
Shiryoku: *looks at Keiko, fidgeting nervously* Keiko...are you sure about exploring here? I've never been outside Connus.
Keiko: *looks at Shiryoku, smiling* Of course! It's the experience that makes it fun! That's why I went on that Connus Expedition. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have met you.
Shiryoku: *looks down at the ground* But...I'm not that good in a bow.
Keiko: *puts hand over Shiryoku's shoulder, making him look at Keiko again* It's okay Shiryoku, everyone's been at your position before. I was like that when it came to combat. Now, let's go check these ruins out...
*Keiko and Shiryoku both enter Karu Forest Ruins*
Entry into the Boss Room
Shiryoku: *looks around* ...Is this it? This looks like the last room.
Keiko: *looks around* There's nothing here... That's a shame.
Shiryoku: *turns to Keiko* Well, should we go back? There's nothing else we could do. It's just an empty room.
Keiko: *notices the Stone Horse Keeper appear behind Shiryoku, surprising her* Shiryoku! Look out! *sprints towards Shiryoku, shoving him out of the way.*
Shiryoku: *looks up, seeing the Stone Horse Keeper then turns attention to Keiko* K-Keiko! Are you alright!?
Keiko: *gets up* Yeah...I'm alright. That monster barely grazed my arm though...
After defeating the boss...
Keiko: That was tougher than I imagined...We better get out of here...
[Outside the ruins]
Keiko: So, what do you think?
Shiryoku: It...was fun. I actually enjoyed it.
Keiko: *smiles* Glad to hear it! We should plan another adventure soon, but for now, I should take you back to Filia. *about to leave*
Shiryoku: Wait!
Keiko: *stops and turns around* What is it?
Shiryoku walks up to Keiko and gives her a Feathered Charm.
Keiko: What is this?
Shiryoku: A Feathered Charm. I made it in hopes that I meet a friend. I want you to have it.
Keiko: Thanks Shiryoku.[/INDENT][/SPOILER]
RP Quest Chain Part 2: Eternal Friendship
Requires completion of the quest "Of a Feather"
[SPOILER="Spoiler"]Talk to Keiko after completing "Of a Feather"...
"Oh! It's you again, (player name)! So, what did you think of the story in Karu? Shiryoku and I have really grown over those years."
"That reminds me, I have something to give to Shiryoku. I would do it myself, but I'm caught up in Alchemy business. Would you like to do this errand for me?
[Yes]
"You would? Thanks! Shiryoku should be somewhere in Dunbarton."
If the player is a Giant...
Wait a minute...You're a Giant aren't you? That's not good...
*Keiko hands you a White Neckerchief*
Unless you show him this, he'll run away in fear because of his Gigantasophobia. Be sure to bring it back to me!
[INDENT]Item - White Neckerchief
A simple strip of cloth Keiko used for her school uniform. With this, you can show Shiryoku that you were sent by Keiko. Interestingly, it shines pink in the sunlight.
Item - Delivery Box
Keiko asked you to deliver this to her friend, Shiryoku. What could be inside this?[/INDENT]
[No]
"...I see. Sorry I asked then."
[See "Eternal Friendship" on Shiryoku's profile for this chronological placeholder.]
Talk to Keiko after delivery of the Delivery Box...
"Ah! You're back! Thank you for delivering the box to him."
"What's that? Shiryoku looks drastically different from my memory? About that... Shiryoku actually has red hair, not blonde. Somehow he's been able to dye it, but I convinced him to show his true colors."
"He's still quite shy, but he's willing to socialize now. He's really matured since then, even so far as returning the favor from what I did three years ago. Hahaha..."
*Keiko hands you a Broken Water Cylinder*
"If you offer this at Fiodh Dungeon, you'll understand what I mean."
[INDENT]Item - Broken Water Cylinder
A uniquely colored cylinder which, unfortunately, is broken beyond repair. If you offer this at the Fiodh Dungeon altar, you'll be able to experience Keiko's memory.[/INDENT]
If you lose the Broken Water Cylinder somehow...
How did you lose it!? Here it is again, but please be careful next time!
The RP is a solo dungeon, with the player taking the role of Keiko (Age 18).

Entry
*fidgeting about* "Mm...I know I shouldn't be messing around here, but after what Pierrick said about the White Violet, I can't pass up this opportunity to get one for Elhart."
*scratching head* "I kinda feel bad asking for another Violet Seed from Eahba, but this is the only time I'll be here."

"Ack...! How could I be so careless...?"
Thunder suddenly strikes the Argos, soon falling from the consecutive bolts.
"Thunder? But who...?"
Shiryoku: *runs up to Keiko* Are you alright Keiko? *pulls Keiko up to her feet*
Keiko: Shiryoku!? Ack...ow ow ow ow ow... *collapses to the ground*
Shiryoku: Your leg doesn't look too good...Hang on...*holds out his hand over it, using Healing*
Keiko: Healing...? Your magic... It's grown hasn't it?
Shiryoku: *smiles* Let's just say I owed you one from three years ago.[/INDENT]
Talk to Keiko after completing the dungeon...
"Seeing Shiryoku adept at magic makes me happy at how much he's grown. To think he was just a fledgling when I first met him..."
"Wait, before you leave I have something for you. It's a sword I used to use, but now I no longer use it."
[INDENT]Item - Keiko's Two-Handed Sword
A special two-handed sword Keiko used to wield. This one seems lighter than the rest, making it easier to swing around.

Shiryoku
[SPOILER="Spoiler"]
Casual Outfit
[SPOILER="Spoiler"]
[Image: http://i.imgur.com/c0ljs.png]
[/SPOILER]
NOTE: Shiryoku has Gigantasophobia (a fear of tall people); Giants will be unable to talk to him because he will run away in fear. You will not get the description of him and will only respond with the following line.
"AAAAAAAAAAAH! G-G-get away from me!!! I'm not a bug so leave me beee!"
His pointed ears show that he is not of the human race, but he attempts to hide them with earmuffs despite the weather. He has shoulder-length fiery red hair which is not uncommon among his kind, and goldenrod-colored eyes. His body may be that of a young adult, but he has the face of an introverted adolescent.
"Um...what is it?"
[video=youtube;FESc1-j3mIU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FESc1-j3mIU[/video]
Location: Dunbarton Walls, behind the church
Purpose
- Part of Keiko's two-part RP quest.
- Has a cutscene revealing his past.
- Has a 3-person RP quest.
Likes: Apple, Berry, Strawberry, Orange, Fruit Salad, Mixed Fruit, Vegetable Soup, any fish, most fish-based cooking...
Dislikes: Garlic, Cubic Puzzle, Big Chunk of Meat, Slice of Meat, (he is more or less a vegetarian, mainly because his body can't digest meat properly.)
Relationships
- Keiko (Eternal Friend)
- Kokoroe (Younger Brother)
- Freiherrin (Older Sister, deceased)
- Lepus (Friend)
- Castanea (On rocky terms...)
- Kiyobi (Friend's Older Brother, Teacher-figure)
Backstory: Shiryoku was born into a family with two siblings: one older sister and one younger brother. Despite this, Shiryoku was one of the particularly ostracized elves mainly because he had a disability. He is known to be the only elf (currently known) that is unable to use a bow; whenever he shoots an arrow, it only hits because it was by luck. He is painfully shy, further isolating him from society. He was practically invisible to the elves, denying his existence. He disliked Castanea, believing she just stood there not coming to his aid and only receiving punishment for his disability. This life was changed when he first encountered Keiko. Her friendly nature made him feel secure, allowing him to travel outside Connus for the first time.
Adventure after adventure, Shiryoku began to learn why he couldn't use bows: His left eye had gone blind. He couldn't wield bows because he couldn't aim properly. However, since Keiko was bound by contract she had to leave Shiryoku behind in Filia. She, however, suggested him to learn Magic. Taking her advice, he begins to study magic in Tir Chonaill, never returning to Filia. Castanea made sure he will never return, even proclaiming him dead to the elves of Connus. She did this so he can leave his painful past behind and develop into a prosperous magician under the care of Keiko.
Keyword Responses
[Private Story]
- My name is...Shiryoku.
- I'm not from around here, so I just sit and watch the sky...
- As you can see, I'm an elf. I would rather avoid racial conflict by interacting with the locals.
If the player as achieved a certain friendship level, Shiryoku will begin to smile and give the following responses instead.
- I actually have a younger brother that hangs around Port Cobh. He has the same eye and hair color as me, so you should say hi to him when you can.
- Believe it or not, I look much older than I really am; I'm only fifteen. It's okay, a lot of people mistake me as a young adult.
- My name "Shiryoku" actually means "eyesight." It was given to me to ensure the well-being of my eyes.
- I'm more skilled at magic than archery. I just feel magic is more suited for me.
[Nearby Rumors]
- I don't know much about this place...
- Keiko is a really nice person. She's in Taillteann, however.
- Do you ever wonder if we simply exist...? Not live?
[Ideal Look]
[SPOILER="Spoiler"]Pardon? Ideal Look? I...I'm not quite an adult yet, but that special someone should be someone like my sister. She should have red hair (Hair Color: Red or Bloody Red Hair) much like my hair color. She should also be adept at archery (Ranged Attack A) and Cooking (Cooking Rank B) too. My sister was inventive with the few ingredients Filia has. My sister is about two years older than I am so she should be within two or three years of that age (Age 18-21).
Of course...This is coming from someone who hasn't fallen in love before, so I'm probably babbling nonsense.
(Correct Player)
Ah! There's really someone that looks like my sister? I'm not the type that's ready to date however, but seeing her brings up some fond memories of my sister. Thanks for showing her to me.[/SPOILER]

RP Quest Chain Part 2: Eternal Friendship
This covers Shiryoku's part in this quest, as well as his responses.
[SPOILER="Spoiler"]
Talk to Shiryoku with the Delivery Box in possession...
If the player is a Giant and has the White Neckerchief in possession...
*I showed the White Neckerchief to Shiryoku*
"Aah...um...isn't this Keiko's?"
*I explained why I have the White Neckerchief*
"I...see. Keiko sent you to do do this. If she trusts you then I can to...I hope.
(After this, Giants will be allowed to talk to Shiryoku normally.)
"Is...this for me?"
*Shiryoku takes the box from you.*
"Ah, It's from Keiko. She's such a nice girl, giving me these nice things."
"In fact, if it weren't for her, I wouldn't be who I am right now. Please give Keiko my regards.[/SPOILER]
Sidequest: A Desire to Exist
This requires you to have maximum friendship with Shiryoku.
[SPOILER="Spoiler"]Talk to Shiryoku about Private Story...
"You really like coming to chat with me haven't you? Haha, I have no problem with that, it's just that anyone rarely attempts to socialize with me."
"You would think someone with fine clothing and looks would have many friends right? Well...according to Keiko, she said I looked really charming."
*melancholic look* "Well...do you ever feel...invisible?"
[INDENT][Yes, nobody wants to talk to me.]
"So you do know how I feel. I guess I don't have to explain as much."
[I don't think so...]
"Oh...Well...truth is...I'm extremely lonely. Nobody wants to talk to me. They just pass by me as if I don't exist.[/INDENT]
"The feeling when people don't acknowledge your existence...It's quite melancholic. I was branded to be less than an existence because I couldn't use bows."
"Yes, I am elf. Everyone assumes all elves are capable of wielding a bow. Not me, however. Because my left eye is blinded, I cannot aim. I just want to live life as a normal being, not being thrown around like trash...*sniff*"
"I'm sorry I have to ask you this but...could you do me a favor though? I want you to talk to Castanea/Atrata (Giants) and ask about me. I want to know if they still acknowledge my existence as an elf from Filia."
[INDENT][Keyword - Shiryoku's Existance]
Shiryoku believed the elves shunned him because he couldn't use bows. Is this true?[/INDENT]
"I left without a word because I believed the elves wouldn't miss me. They all shunned me as the one who cannot use a bow. I never got to reconcile with Castanea because I said some negative things about her."
"Sorry if it's a bother to you, but I just want to know..."
Castanea's response to [Shiryoku's Existence] (NOTE: The keyword must be used TWICE.)
"Shiryoku...? That name hasn't been mentioned for as long as I could remember. This elf...the poor child is actually dead. He was given a pointless life only to end without a purpose."
Second use
"It was best he was gone. The elves here don't acknowledge him being one of the people of Filia so it was best he was proclaimed dead.
Atrata's response to [Shiryoku's Existence]
"Where did you hear that name? According to Castanea, he is dead..."
[Shiryoku's Existence] will be replaced with the following keyword.
[INDENT][Proclaimed Dead]
According to Castanea, Shiryoku is considered dead to the elves of Filia.[/INDENT]
Upon leaving Filia in any method, the following cutscene will play:
Castanea: Yes...Shiryoku is dead...to us. Hearing his name again must mean he is still alive.
Shiryoku...forgive me for my actions. I wish for you to leave your past behind so you may grow.
The girl who brought him up...Keiko...I believe she is the one capable of unlocking his true potential. When you do find it I will welcome you back as one of us...
Talk to Shiryoku with the keyword [Proclaimed Dead]...
*appalled expression*"...!? Dead...? So it's true...I'm even considered dead.
*downcast face* "Well now that I know I'm dead in Filia, I guess I can explain my story...
The following cutscene will play this music:
[video=youtube;g_PYJzBrtR0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_PYJzBrtR0[/video]
I was born in a normal family...One older sister, one younger brother.
We lived like most of the elves in Filia.
We lived under the blazing sun, but it didn't mind us.
It was a simple life.
However...I learned of a condition that affected my sight.
If not treated soon, it would go blind.
With my worsening sight, I struggled to use a bow.
None of my shots would hit their mark.
Eventually, my ability to use a bow will be withered to nothing.
I tried to tell them why, but they wouldn't listen.
They ignored my pleas, denying my existence...
I simply existed. At this rate, however, my existence would be naught.
This song will play at this part:
[video=youtube;NEA1Bsv-raU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NEA1Bsv-raU[/video]
That is...until I met her.
She was a human girl.
She appeared to be older than me, but her bright face drew me to her.
She reached out to me, when the others abandoned me.
I felt like I found a true friend in her.
I was able to step outside the town. I felt like I could trust her with my life.
However, she couldn't stay here for long and had to leave.
She said something before she left...
"Everyone has a purpose in life. Maybe yours is somewhere else."
So I left Filia to pursue my calling. Leaving Iria for Uladh.
That was when I discovered magic.
Something I'm proud to say it's my calling...
Talk to Shiryoku after the cutscene...
*sniff* Sorry I had to involve you in this. I just needed someone to listen to me...Thanks for listening to my story.[/SPOILER]
RP Quest: Ridiculous Fear
This requires a "known each other for years" friendship level.
[SPOILER="Spoiler"]Talk to Shiryoku about Private Story...
"You're a nice person, for taking the time to talk to me. I feel like I could trust you with something. Can you keep a secret?"
"You see...this is kinda embarrassing...but I have Gigantasophobia. I have a chronic fear of tall people...namely Giants."
Normal version
"It's not that I hate them...I'm just terrified of them!"
Giants version
That's why I ran from you (giant's name). I'm just scared of you.
"I have nothing against giants! If I had a blind hate against another race, I would have a monochrome perspective. That's beside the point though."
"Keiko is aware of my phobia, but my little brother is the one who witnessed the creation of my Gigantasophobia. I believe you should ask him about it."
"Wait, have you met my little brother before?"
"If you haven't, his name is Kokoroe. He has the same hair and eye color as me so you can't miss him."
Kokoroe:
[SPOILER="Spoiler"]
[Image: http://i.imgur.com/229RP.png]
[/SPOILER]
"If I recall, he was sitting around Port Cobh..."
Talk to Kokoroe...
"Hmm? Shiryoku sent you to me?"
"Oh, his fear of Giants! Yeah, I actually saw the incident. I was with him along with a giant girl named Tejina. The three of us were in Coill when it happened."
*Kokoroe gives you a Broken Bow*
"This should let you see the whole story if you place it on Coill's altar."
[INDENT]Item - Broken Bow
A bow snapped in half from a strong impact. Kokoroe said you could see the story behind Shiryoku's phobia if offered to Coill Dungeon's altar.[/INDENT]
The Coill RP requires three people.
The leader will be Shiryoku (Age 15, but physically 17), the second member will be Kokoroe (Age 13); the third, Tejina (Age 17). The dungeon is identical to Coill Elemental.

Scenes
[INDENT]
Entry
Shiryoku: Thanks for accompanying me to Coill, Kokoroe.
Kokoroe: Of course! You're my older brother! We're here for each other, right?
S: *bashfully scratches head* Right...
Tejina: Umm...Shiryoku, why are we here?
S: I've heard I could get a clue as to learning Ice Spear. So Tejina, what brings you here?
T: Ah, I've heard about the elemental properties this dungeon has. This would be great to learn more about magic.
K: A Giant learning magic? That's a rare sight.
S: It is, but Keiko told me about a white-robed giant who is actually very masterful of the art. So it's possible.
K: You sure like to talk about Keiko. Is she your girlfriend?
(Silly music plays here. Use your imagination~)
S: */surprise* What?! No no no no no! She's not my girlfriend!
K: You seem to like her though. When did you meet?
S: */shy* You're a little too young to pry into my private life...
K: So she is your girlfriend!
S: *waves arms disagreeing-ly* No Kokoroe!!!
S: *turns to Tejina* Tejina, do you believe that Keiko is my girlfriend?
T: Judging how you reacted, I say you simply care deeply about her.
K: So Keiko is big brother's girlfriend!
S: No she isn't! Tejina said I just care about her! Besides, she already has one!
K: Who? You?
S: NO! Sigh, I think we wasted ten minutes disputing this silly subject.
Boss Room
T: *shoved back by the last Giant Ice Sprite* Ahhh!
K: Tejina!
T: *stands up* It's okay, I can still fight.
S: Kokoroe, do you still have the Guardian Bow?
K: Yeah, why? Wait...you don't mean...
S: Yes, I'm going to try and shoot it.
K: But you have magic! Why a bow?
S: A sprite is tempered to resist magic and close combat. If I hit my mark, I should be able to take it down in one shot if I could endow the arrow with fire magic.
K: Oh...okay.
S: *readied with Magnum Shot, with the tip aflame*
Here goes! *fires*
*The fire arrow manages to aim straight towards the Giant Ice Sprite, delivering the finishing blow. However, because the arrow cut so close to Tejina, she reacted by dodging in a very awkward fashion causing her to lose her footing and fall backwards.
T: Oh no! *falls backwards*
K: Shiryoku! Look out! *runs*
S: Argh!! *attempts to run, but Tejina falls back first on top of Shiryoku*
K: Shiryoku!! *runs towards Tejina and the currently-flattened Shiryoku*
T: Oh dear! I'm so sorry! *rolls off, uncovering the knocked out Shiryoku and the broken Guardian Bow*
K: I...don't think Shiryoku's going to be okay...[/INDENT]
Talk to Shiryoku after clearing the RP...
"Oh THAT incident! After that I had to repair my weapons and I couldn't do anything for months!"
"Well, I'm glad you understand my phobia after seeing my story. Before you leave, I'd like to give you something..."
"It's an Ember Pendant. It should help power up Fire Magic."
[INDENT]Item - Ember Pendant
A fire-shaped pendant given to you by Shiryoku. It has a warm-colored aura, but it's cool to the touch.
-Increases Fire Magic by 20%-[/INDENT][/SPOILER][/SPOILER]
