&. guidelines

( I ) AGE     21+ OOC & IC for all comfort involved. This applies to long term plot building, not venue interaction!

( II ) Romance     I adore writing slow burns and tragedies. Let's take time and build something fun! Absolutely 0 interactions will be romantic right out the gate.

( III ) LORE     most of my characters are moderately powered, lore adjacent. none of my ocs are written as the WOL, and none have any significant or mentionable connections to NPCs.

( IV ) PLOTTING     Let's both bring something to the table! If no hooks interest you, I'm happy to come up with something entirely new.

( V ) FORMATTING     3rd person, past tense, multi-paragraph (discord), but I tend to mirror. Still, nothing is happening to me and nothing is happening to YOU. Full novel-style punctuation, grammar, etc. No asterisks!

( VI ) WRITING SPEED     Never ever apologize for taking the time to reply to something! Whether it's in-game or via discord, everyone has different paces. I try to get a reply on discord out within a few hours at least, to a few days at most (if I'm out of town, for example).

( VII ) MOON     It's just not necessary. If you have it, cool, if not, no worries! I was a console player for 5+ years. If your OC looks WILDLY different than in-game, please send me an image!

( VIII ) TRIGGERS     If you have specific triggers to avoid, PLEASE tell me. I tend to lean into the macabre and religious symbolism.

( IX ) TLDR;     21+ OOC & IC, 3rd person/past tense, scheduling preferred. Have a plot in mind or choose a plot hook.

THE BLACK SHROUD.
( gridania. lavender beds. other. )

Adelle : What a cute little dog that's just run up to you! Who does he belong to? OR This is a strange place for a finely dressed woman to be on her own. Is she looking for something?Elizar : You've seen him far too regularly for him to be employed. He's always sitting and writing...how does he have so much free time?Jem : You're pretty sure you saw this guy partying last night, and now he's just...sleeping on a bench? Doesn't he have a better place to crash?Charity : She's hunting something out in the dark... Perhaps she's fearful of the rumored Green Wrath, or maybe she's out of her element. Care to lend a hand?

LA NOSCEA
( costa. jungles. main city. )

Nora : You've seen her coming and going from the apartments fairly regularly, but lately she's not looking so good... (Hurt/Comfort)Moe : Oh! She's the artist that lives in the building! Need a painting lesson? OR Dog on the loose! Egg has decided to play 'hide and seek', can you help?Len : A regular enough sight in the city, considering her family lives nearby. It's rumored she's opened a second boutique!Elaine : She looks LOST. And warm! Maybe it's her first time here? Does she even know she doesn't need to wear such heavy clothes...?

COERTHAS.
( ishgard. wilds. other. )

Olivier : The Viscount and his wife are frequently seen in the market. Sometimes you might catch him enjoying a stroll on his own, or visiting a local club.Elaine : A frequent face in the Brume, she's been spotted in the upper-class neighborhoods as of late. Is she still working as a House Knight...?Charity : Well known monster hunter - perhaps you have a job for her? It's rumored she's the more ruthless of her family, and can still be seen with a black eye at functions.Len : With her boutique in the area, perhaps you need an appointment for a fitting? Or maybe just a willing ear for a comfortable chat.Elizar : It's rumored that Lord Brucemont is still looking for a wife! Has he even tried, though? He's always scribbling away in that book of his.

THANALAN.
( gridania. lavender beds. other. )

NoraRexOlivier

HINGASHI
( kugane. )

Ari : A good hook for those local to the area. Ari has lived in Kugane on and off for the better part of a decade, and learned many of her recipes here.Adelle : A semi-familiar face for several tea houses in the area, she seems to have made friends with those who make their living here.

TURAL.
( tbd. )

Guerrier owns a tourist spot called Moogleritaville, and goes by the name 'James'. He sure does look familiar to a nobleman who supposedly died in the Dragonsong war...Ari is the head chef in Moogleritaville, please rescue her after her shift.

ADELLENNE HOCOLEUX.
( crystal. )
    43. she/her. taller than her.

self-employed as a free company owner in gridania, adelle has an affinity for the dead despite her skill as a trained conjurer. her studies of forbidden arts transcends her staunch views against practicing white and black mages.

GUERRIER THEROUX.
( dynamis. )
    50+. he/him. bisezual.

He owns a tropical bar named moogleritaville and has been sailing for 20 years for absolutely 0 suspicious reasons. DEFINITELY not because he was supposedly killed in action during the dragonsong war... For sure not that.

ELIZAR BRUCEMONT.
( crystal. )
    30s. he/him. no idea.

set to inherit a barony, elizar instead turns his focus to his baudy romance novels. published by the dozens, he has so far ignored pleas from both his editor and publisher to 'give someone else a chance to use the press'. surely at least one of them will sell! eventually.

VALENTIONE BARBIER.
( dynamis. )
    30s. she/her. yes.

having worked for herself for much of her life, 'Len' is a known modiste in the finer circles of ishgardian society. while she keeps multiple boutiques for the sake of her clients, she's regularly seen in limsa lominsa or beachside.

AMOUREUX BARBIER.
( dynamis. )
    early 30s. pronoun/pronoun. gay.

after he lost a leg as a child, rex found his attention turned toward the things he could make. as a goldsmith his passion is automotons and fine jewelry. it's said he has yet to make a wedding ring for a couple who has not remained together. much of his work is done in ul'dah, although he is seen at private clubs in ishgard and abroad.

CHÉRI BARBIER.
( dynamis. )
    late 20s. she/her. lesbian.

the youngest of the barbiers, chéri is a name for her prowess in the kitchen. her time working for the bismark, various restaurants of kugane, thavnair and beyond is shown in the artful craftsmanship she devotes to her cooking. she is currently, for some reason, working as the chef of moogleritaville.

ELAINE AUCLAIR.
( dynamis. )
    30s. she/her. lesbian.

always mindful of her place in society, elaine is quiet sometimes to a fault, but works well and works as hard as any who have paved the way for her place as an (almost) house knight. She is dedicated to the people she respects, and is currently risiding in a haunted house - she mostly knows how to work around them.

CHARITY D' AUBNEY.
( crystal. )
    30s. she/her. straight.

the eldest of a family named for virtues few of them possess, charity is a self-imposed black sheep. she made it her purpose to see her sisters married, and now works alongside her father hunting all that goes bump in the night. she does not care who exactly is friend or foe when all is said and done.

MOENGEIM BHALNWYN.
( crystal. )
    33. she/her. straight.

as an artist, moe sees light in all she does. although many take her for a sellsword or mercanary, much of her work is performed more with a paint and brush than it is biting steel. claustrophobic and often confused, she lives with a dog named egg and more optimism in her little finger than most have in their whole body.

JEM.
( crystal. )
    80s+. he/him. idek.

having fled the jungles of his homeland because he simply didn't want to die, jem grabbed on to the title 'coward' with both hands. his new goal is to age until his balls wrinkle, which he's beginning to suspect might never actually happen. the idea of dying for anyone other than himself terrifies him to tears. he will make a joke about it.

OLIVIER THEROUX.
( dynamis. )
    40s. he/him. straight?

as a viscount, a husband and now a father, olivier is more and more aware at just how precious life is. he pours household funds into the arts, and is known to take on fledgeling artists and pay for their training, room and board in the hopes of bringing a bit of life back to the star. he is a rather traditional ishgardian, unfortunately, but he's learning.

NORA CHANNING.
( crystal. )
    30. she/her. materialistic.

a sugar baby who's just as happy to be paid to leave someone alone as keep them company, nora's views of the world are pessimistic at best. she primarily sticks to the gold saucer and costa del sol, and has worked about as many actual jobs as she has made them up. she isn't here for a long time, but she's definitely here for a good one.
