I started playing in the first days that FFXIV came online. I had migrated over from FFXI. FFXIV 1.0 Legacy was a bit rough around the edges (understatement of the year) but I hung in there till the end of the extended beta. After that I left the game for several months till FFXIV ARR came online and returned to the game. (Since I needed to relearn everything I created my alt Plum Liqueur.)
A Taru by any other name. Rambutan is keen on adventuring.
Rambutan is a member of the "The Spirits of the Void" a small organization that is dedicated to the research of the nature of various aether energies, as well as some controversial (and risky) research into the Void itself. This small enterprise is a break from his family's traditional business. (more on that below) and they profit by providing their research materials and laboratory facilities for those in need. Everyone is welcome at the Void Hall in Lav, and of course at Rambutan's Laboratory facilities in Goblet. For more information about our Sargatanas based Free Company please contact Plum Liqueur in-world.
Oh and the family/clan/company by tradition brews spirits when not doing research!
Why the name? Unlike most Lalafell traditional naming schemes, his family belongs to a merchant clan specializing in the production of various spirits and chose mercantile names for use with the broader public. With each new birth (and Marriage) the family chooses a new flavor to make and sell! ^.^ his family clan name is "The Spirit-Farers" and bottles of their brews often feature a single white feather embossed at the edges with silver. Of course, he has a true Lala name "RamRam Butan".
Along with Rambutan there are many other family members. Including his twin sister WildStill Liqueur, and his other brother Peppermint Schnapps. Plus, there are the other families who are in the Spirit-Farers merchant clan. Plum Liqueur (my alt) is his cousin by marriage in the Imglum family line.
Now, when you say his name. Be sure to get it right! Its pronounced. "RaaaaammmButaaaan!" Say it like you mean it! Hah! ^.^
