about us

Winds (of Hope) is a gathering of talent with one focus: entertaining Reppu.

With more than a few successes under their belts, the company has been working together for (time crunch) years, and are still going strong.Be it working at whim for a pink-haired dictator, or pushing for their own goals or pursuits in life, Winds continues to go where the wind blows: opportunity and always toward the future.If you're interested in the group, be it services or the individuals themselves, you can visit us at Shirogane W26 P46, Balmung (Crystal) any time!Recruitment: OPEN for FC and/or CWLS.
Discord available!
We have members active during NA and EU time zones.Note: not all of our members are listed on this carrd as offering services!

H'uli Jing

A smith of Eastern Origin who traveled the world learning a variety of techniques and styles. H’uli’s preference is bladed items, but works with all manner of metals and allows one to find the best mix between durability, aesthetic, and weight. Don’t let those old folk get between you and the weapon of your dreams.Services Offered:
Custom Commissions: Having worked with some of the most ridiculous request from clients to date, including Viper style greatswords and pickaxes, all the way to ‘Gun-that-shoots-swords’, H’uli is the smith you want if your imagination goes beyond ‘practical’ or ‘functional in combat’.Requisition: With a wide network of connection from Thavnair, Tural, Sharlayan, Doma, and even Solution Nine, H’uli can usual find what you need for that special project. If its something particularly rare, or coming from a living creature, there are others within Winds that can get those for you.Maintenance: Routine care of your armor and weapons should come as a standard process to most people, but H’uli will do that as well. In addition, lessons can be arranged if a client does not know how to maintain their newly purchased product. While it is standard, you have to learn it somewhere!
