Filth Zotro
Chaos Bringer & Gil SupplierHello! I started FFXIV back in 1.0 but never really was able to stick with it, constantly coming back with ARR, and every expansion until finally the WoW exodus happened back at the tail end of Shadow Bringers and something finally stuck and I fell in love with the game. Now I have become the person who relentlessly pressures and bullies my friends into playing XIV. Before XIV I was a major lover of FFXI and WoW for my MMO fix, and outside of MMO's I love Gears of War, Pokemon, Halo, Tekken, and StarCraft. In real life I also love MTG, WH40k, and D&D.In XIV I'm currently a gunbreaker main, however I still have love for my original class as a Dragoon main. I am the static lead for most of these loveable idiots (still don't know how I got this job) in our grind through savage and hopefully one day ultimate's. I love doing the games hardest content and love teaching people, so if you ever have questions about the current raid series, or want to try your hand at any of them, just let me know!Fun Fact

Meowing Head NurseMeowdy o/I started playing XIV at the end of Jan in 2024! My fav FF entries at VI and XIII and some of my fav games include Bloodborne and the Fallout series!I am currently an AST main and have claimed the title of quickest raise in all of realms (challenge me I dare you :p ). REC is a place that completely changed how I play this game, from meeting Kenji to being introduced to our static and Sav raiding!I am always open to new conversations and friends, feel free to message me anytime!Fun Fact

Greeter and Vibe LizardI've been playing FFXIV since Patch 6.4. I usually main as a spoony BRD, but will also play as SMN, SAM and sometimes VPR. I also RP in-game, between lite and immersive style. When not playing FFXIV, I'm usually playing other video games, listening to music, watching the latest Internet oddities on YouTube, or trying my very best to go out and touch grass. I am also a bit of a derp, so please be patient with me!REC has made a huge impact in my life, both in-game and in my personal life. I've reconnected with old friends and made new ones, something that I am truly thankful for. Being a part of this community is the highlight of my time here.Fun Fact
I was a crisis actor once.

Elliot Zhed
Himbo Bouncer & DancerHey, thanks for coming to my TED Talk. I started playing FFXIV around September of 2022 and Shadowbringers is my favorite expansion. You can usually find me on Paladin, Dark Knight, or Sage or I’m crafting mindlessly. Also a big Eureka enjoyer.I’m usually playing an RPG with some of my favorites being the Persona series (including metaphor), NieR, Yakuza, and Ghost of Tsushima. Also a big fan of strategy and puzzle games.Ask me what music I’m listening to right now.Fun Fact
Elliot started out as a female Miqo’te named Ellie and I kept her eye color as an homage to her.

Cruwa Ishiku
Crashing Dancer & Intern NurseHeyo! I started playing Final Fantasy XIV during Covid lockdown, thanks to the peer pressure of my partner Filth Zotro. While XIV is my favorite so far, I also am a big fan of X/X-2, XIII, and XVI. My main class is Reaper, but I also enjoy playing White Mage and Pictomancer! I'm also an absolute glam-a-holic, so chances are you will see new outfits from me as the seasons change.Outside of Final Fantasy, my hobbies include Pokemon/Pokemon TCG, Wuthering Waves, painting miniature figures (D&D, Warhammer, etc), and poking fun at Nayaga Kanish at every opportunity. My favorite color is teal, axolotls are my favorite animal, and my favorite food is Chicken Bellagio.I get distracted easily so if you see the AFK chair next to my username, just assume that Castaways from The Backyardigans is playing somewhere in the distance.Fun Fact
I only have one thumb!
P.S. - Moogle supremacy.

Nayaga Kanish
Part-time Nurse, Full-time Floor TankHello! I started down the FF14 grind after being told to play countless times from friends, around early 2022 and quickly fell in love. I have yet to play any of the other FF games but its on my long list of games to play. Currently my main raiding class is Viper with a love of Samurai. I truly love the community this game has built and am proud to be part of it. From my static to fellow REC members, the love and friendship is amazing (YES even when I am floor tanking and getting yelled at).Outside of FF14 I am still a huge nerd. Several other games consuming my soul such as OSRS, Rimworld, Factorio, Tekken 8, and several others. I am currently studying and working towards my pilots license and hope to have it in the next 6 months.Fun Fact
I have a doggo, her name is Ellie, who loves to play and sleep all day.

Zan Tetsuken
DJ & DILF EnthusiastHey! I started FFXIV early in ARR and I've dedicated thousands of hours to the game ever since. Currently a Pictomancer main, but expect that to change with every future expansion, because it has for everyone so far. I mained WHM during ARR, AST during HW, RDM during SB, DNC during ShB, SGE during EW and now PCT during DT. Although I started playing the game relatively early in it's life, I never did any savage until Endwalker, that said, I still think Dawntrail's Arcadion is the BEST raid series the game has ever seen. Final Fantasy X and X-2 are the best games ever made, but the Persona, Star Ocean, Dot Hack, and Legend of Heroes Series are all pretty dope too.Outside of gaming my hobbies include dabbling a little in crochet and special effects makeup (although I'm not that good at either yet), kissing DILFs, and I'd love to start cooking and baking more often. My favorite colors are purple and green. As I've gotten older I have learned to appreciate strawberry desserts and sweets more than chocolate. I love reading, but there are more unread books on my shelf than read ones. I do this thing where I go a very very long time without reading any books, then eventually I'll finally read one and not be able to stop reading books for months. I work from home and you may see me on FFXIV while I'm on the clock either afk chilling in Limsa, chilling at REC, or crafting and gathering until I clock out.I knew REC was the vibe I wanted to be around immediately on my first ever visit. The vibe, community, and staff are all a blast to be around and we liked each other so much, Kenji gave me a job. I'm so grateful to have met everyone and look forward to hanging out at every opening.Fun Fact
I've been completely blind in my left eye since birth.

Furry Fortune ReaderHi. I am the Ikeke Izkeke. Or Ike... or izzy... or ikezzy... yeah. Uuuuhhh.... I like eating. Eating is nice. It cures hunger or something like that. I kinda like... tap water. Oh no wait, I take that back. I F*CKING LOVE TAP WATER. ACTUALLY, let me just say that my main motivation for even working at the club is the UNLIMITED supply of tap water I get here. I mean it's like, that shit is just free for him or something. And the flavor... omg... THE FLAVOR.... OF THE WATER IN REC??? Fire. [insert fire emoji]. Boss ain't even gotta pay me if he's just handing that stuff out for free. But don't tell him that... please. Wait, he doesn't read these, right? >_>' Oh yeah! I also do really scuffed, back alley level, scoopity poopity, tarot/ fortune telling readings. I call it "Fortunes Against Humanity™" because I use Cards Against Humanity (not sponsored) cards to determine your precious futures. So yeah, come see me if I'm around and I'll tell you if your future has herpes or crippling debt! XDFun Fact
