ㅤintroㅤ I am an RPer on Final Fantasy XIV. I generally am a mirror RPer and enjoy darker themes, adult content (smut/ERP with chemistry), combat, drug and alcohol use, romance, religious tropes, political rhetoric and LGBTQA-friendly stuff. I prefer to build long-lasting connections, rather than just one-off encounters.Slice of life RP is okay, but I can grow disinterested if it doesn't ultimately lead to something more exciting. If you’re shy and you see me around, and you’d like to rp, feel free to /tell me, or just walk on up! We can definitely work something out, albeit as long as you follow some common-sense guidelines.While I do prefer in-game interactions, I can be somewhat hard to pin down, depending on what I have scheduled with regular RP partners. That being said, I don't mind Discord RP as a bridge between in-game scenes.
do not
confuse IC with ooc. i will absolutely not tolerate blurring of that line. i am not my characters, nor are they me.do not
value the game over RL. no, i do not work, but that doesn't mean that i am available 24/7. i have a family, doctors appointments and general life obligations to perform just like anyone else.do not
discuss 'crimes' with me in-game under any circumstances. i do have mare and will gladly share my code via discord.
do
be at least 21 years of age (IC and OOC). I do not rp with anyone younger for safety reasons. no exceptions. I will ask your age, screenshot your response and save it. This is a case of looking out for my own ass. I'm old and tired, and not looking to get in trouble or have any drama.do
understand that i have a chronic pain condition irl. This means that I cannot sit at the computer for marathon RP sessions. I'm good for three, maybe four hours at a time, then I NEED a break to stretch and lay flat for a while, usually anywhere from 15 mins to an hour.do
actively participate in the RP and try to give me something to respond to. if I take the time to craft an engaging post, regardless of length, i hope you would put the same amount of effort into your writing.

Orphaned and left in the care of saint reinette's orphanage when he was a baby, Fiannaut's education was provided by the Ishgardian orthodox church and Saint Endalim's Scholasticate, with the understanding that he would serve in some capacity when he was of age. quickly finding that inquisitorial work did not suit him, he entered the general clergy - only to leave the church when the rampant corruption was finally exposed. now an exorcist, he travels the world hunting voidsent when not occupied with matters at home.

yes
Shroud-born and Sharlayan-educated, Sabine is a woman with drive and ambition. Alchemist and botanist, the talented elezen can make nearly any remedy one has the gil to buy - or, more quietly, illicit drugs or poisons, if you know how to ask for them. Reserved almost to the point of being cold, she will do almost anything to get what (or who) she decides she wants.

as a boy and heir to the courcelle viscountcy, Dauvaunt had great expectations placed upon him from birth - which he met adeptly. rising quickly through the ranks of training, he eventually made the rank of Knight-Captain of the Temple Knights, leading men and women under him in missions during the Dragonsong war. Once peace reigned, he turned his attention to matters at home, though he still continues to lead missions as needed, and as directed by his superiors, truly a loyal and dutiful son of Ishgard.

miqo'te, seeker of the sunpronouns
he/hisromanceable
yes
Born to a splinter group of the I tribe who had long-ago rejected the traditional seeker worship of Azeyma and instead devoted themselves to the void, I'shani's childhood was filled with terror and pain. When the Calamity exposed the ruins of the Sil'dihn Subterrane, the tribe moved there from where they'd lived prior, amongst the ancient and abandoned city of Belah'dia. In the heart of the Subterrane, the two dozen or so void mages threw wild nightly bacchanals where they allowed themselves to be possessed by lesser voidsent - and forced the reluctant among them to do the same. Fleeing to Ul'dah when he was a mere fifteen summers, I'Shani eventually was taken in by a priest of the Arrzaneth Ossuary where he was taught thaumaturgy - and then later referred to a teacher who educated him in forbidden arts of black magic. Unable to repress the memories of the void magics he was raised on, however, he now seeks to put all of his power to use in eradicating the creatures of the void.
