-= House Madaras; 21+ XIV RP Group is recruiting! =-

A reclusive and selective estate, House Madaras has made a name for itself over the last century with its incredible leniency when it comes to illicit research. Vast on-site archives, bountiful resources and plenty of 'willing' subjects to play with means that not much is truly out of bounds within the House. It is a haven of willful ignorance where the morally ambiguous may thrive. A place of learning where few things are taboo and fewer still are deemed off-limits....

~Inspired by the world of Bloodborne and the Antivan Crows of Dragon Age~

House Madaras and its underbelly, the Serpent's Warren, is set up as a place for characters of more dubious alignments and persuasions to play; assassins, murderers, manipulative socialites, eccentric mages and so on! A place where very few things are off limits, and the darker things encouraged. We welcome people to play deviously, to use each others characters like pieces on a board and utilize the setting to its fullest.

As a heavy, 21+ RP group our intent is to give writers a well-crafted setting to explore the darker & maturer themes of FFXIV RP. We keep our setting grounded; we don't deal in over-powered characters here. But we do deal in consequences. We are a small and selective group with a zero policy for drama. Given the nature of our themes, we are quite strict and place great importance on communication and consent.

At a Glance-

What We Got:Lore Abiding/Bending Stories ● Dark / Mature Themes ● Horror ● Plot Driven Characters ● Combat & Civilian Friendly Space ● Gritty & Grounded Setting ● Player-First Combat System

What We Don't Do:Slavery ● Over-powered Characters ● Voidsent / Voidsent Hosts ● Warrior's of Light ● Lore-Breaking OC's ● IC / OOC Mixing ● Drama ● Make RP a Job

If any of that intrigues you, more info can be found on our Carrd below! Feel free to reach out to me here on Tumblr, or Discord via "Anamsgith" if you have any questions!

We are located on Balmung, Crystal, but are a Crossworld friendly space! You do not need to join the FC to RP with us. It serves as the RP-hub only.

Character Roster & LFRP

While this blog is largely dedicated to content surrounding my main, August Mercer, I do share drabbles and screenshots that feature my other characters as they exist in his world. So, I thought I would take the time to make a roster so people would know a bit more about the characters themselves. 

Character Roster

This currently only features the OCs that I regularly play and does not incorporate NPCs I have created for story arc purposes or characters that have been retired to position of NPC. I plan to add them later. I’ve left them out for now because I thought I might also use this post as a sort of LFRP and only wanted to offer information on characters I am willing to active play. 

I’ve been having some issues drumming up in-game RP lately as my RP groups have largely moved to Discord only as their lives are quite busy and prevent them from regularly logging in. Which is totally cool, but I am hoping to get back into some in-game interactions. So, if you’re interested, know someone who might be, or know of some open RP groups, link shells, or discords feel free to poke me!  Interested in: »» In-Game RP. »»  RP Linkshells. »»  RP Discords. »»  LGBTQ+ Friendly RP groups and RP partners. »» Narrative and consent based RP. I prefer narrative RP to rolling and would enjoy communicative partners that want to write collaborative story arcs. »» Character Development / Character Driven Stories. »» Short and Long term interactions. »» Magic RP (Including but not limited to warding, rituals, or taking on an apprentice) with Mercer, Teo, and Kishar.  »» Magitek RP (Including but not limited to prosthetic orders or maintenance, brainstorm buddies, or taking on a smithing apprentice) with Mercer. »» RP on the First with Teo or Mercer. »» Ishgard RP and Contacts for Mercer and Sebastian. »» Investigations! Anyone looking to hire someone to look into an aetheric oddity, magical item, or general mystery. Both Mercer and Teo work for Aetherflow Investigations and are happy to lend aid.  »» Any other hooks we might be able to come up with.

Not interested in: »» Discord/Tumblr RP. »» Crunchy combat systems or lots of rolling. »» Casual ERP. How to contact me: »» Feel free to message me here on Tumblr, contact me in-game on August Mercer, Teo Linh, or Sebastian Vairemont or reach out on Discord (Weezled#9715). »» I am available for RP most nights starting at 7 PM CST until around Midnight CST.

[ckkitanitayuun]

☆ Meet Kitani ☆

Available For: Penpal RP Server/Database: Balmung / Crystal

Everybody's problem! Kitani is loud, energetic, and not often in trouble. A party girl emitting absolute gremlin energy. And though she often attempts to hide her emotions from others, she's not as good at it as she likes to think she is.

Events in her past kept her from allowing any relationship deeper than acquaintances. And she spent many years working aboard ships, avoiding staying in one place (or even with one crew) for very long. Keeping herself busy, and often surround by others, she made sure she had no time or reason to feel lonely. Working aboard ships was busy enough, but there were always new people to meet, new places to see, and new drinking games to compete in.

Now-a-days, she resides with her long-suffering partner, Olly. It's the longest she's ever stayed in one place, and the closest she's ever been with one person. Life sure has changed for Kitani, and it can feel a little overwhelming for her at times. Luckily, there's still plenty of parties that need attending where she can blow-off steam... and poor Olly gets dragged along to most of them.

Name: Kitani Tayuun Race: Miqo'te Age: 20's Gender/Pronouns: Cis Female / She/Her Sexuality: Demisexual / Pansexual Marital Status: Taken (monogamous) Affinity: Chaotic Good Likes: Parties, dancing, shots, cocktails, cider, meat dishes, archery, pubs, nightclubs, games, cheese, bacon, camping, grilled fish, sailing, pineapple on pizza. Dislikes: Smoking, dishonesty, long silences, sushi, and snobs.

Notes: MSQ screenshots are OOC. I just can't resist a pretty picture, but as she's not an actual WoL, she hasn't gone through the WoL's journey herself.

[cklukilutz]

☆ Meet Luki ☆

Available For: Content (DNC, PCT, WHM, AST), RP, and Penpal RP. Server/Database: Balmung / Crystal

Though at first glance, she passes for viera, she's actually half miqo'te. Luki is far shorter than what you'd expect of a female viera. She's also somewhat scruffy, and has a little (bunny-like) tail. Her miqo'te side shines through via her highly expressive ears too.

Does she answer to a "pspsps"? There's one way to find out!

She collects a lot of crystals, and enjoys spending time in nature (as long as it's not too cold), especially near water.

When not surrounded by those natural elements, she spends a lot of time at the arcades (or the Gold Saucer) playing games, and frequently attends nightclubs (especially places/events rock/metal/alternate or cyberpunk themed), and festivals of pretty much all kinds.

Singing is something of a secret passion of hers. And whilst she'll sometimes brave karaoke after a few drinks, you'd be hard-pressed to catch even a hint of song leave her lips. She loves to sing, but lacks the confidence to do so in any kind of sober setting.

Less of a secret, is that she loves bunnies! And while most viera may not appreciate being likened to wild rabbits, Luki takes any such comparisons as high praise.

Name: Luki Lutz Race: Viqo'te (viera mother, miqo'te father) Age: 23 Gender/Pronouns: Cis Female / She/Her Sexuality: Demisexual / Pansexual Marital Status: Single (monogamous) Affinity: Chaotic GoodLikes: Parties, games, blitzball, frisbee, dancing, beaches, the ocean, nature, crystals, sweets, and fruit (especially squapes grapes). Dislikes: Smoking, dishonesty, onions, mayonnaise, seafood, spicy food, bitter flavours, cold climates, snobs, and flying insects (especially wesps and hornets).

Established Relations: Childhood friends with Lokin.

Notes: MSQ screenshots are OOC. I just can't resist a pretty picture, but as she's not an actual WoL, she hasn't gone through the WoL's journey herself.

[cklokinlutz]

☆ Meet Lokin ☆

Available For: RP, Penpal RP Server/Database: Balmung / Crystal

At a glance, he could pass for a viera, despite his father being hrothgar. Lokin stands taller than most male viera, and has a short tail, resembling that of a bunny.

He spends a lot of time at the arcades (or the Gold Saucer) playing games, and frequently attends nightclubs (especially places/events rock/metal/alternate or cyberpunk themed), and festivals of pretty much all kinds.

Another favourite activity of his is attending blitzball matches, armed with a portable bbq and as much food and drink as he can carry. It never fails to draw a crowd and encourage good vibes between fans.

He also enjoys woodcarving, a skill taught to him back when he lived in his birth village. Though it was mostly for the productions of weapons back then, nowadays he prefers to make statues of animals, or trinkets to sell.

Name: Lokin Lutz Race: Viqo'te (viera mother, miqo'te father) Age: 39 Gender/Pronouns: Cis Male / He/Him Sexuality: Demisexual / Pansexual Marital Status: Single (monogamous)Affinity: Chaotic GoodLikes: Parties, bbq food, games, woodcarving, camping, blitzball, dancing, drumming, nature, nuts, cider.Dislikes: Smoking, dishonesty, pineapple on pizza, snobs, and flying insects, wild boars.

Happy Hour - Bards & Bands Wanted

Hello, folks! It's been a while, so we wanted to give everyone a quick update about our Happy Hour events on the last Thursday of each month. We have decided to move away from the macro performance portion of the Happy Hour events for the time being, either permanently or until more new macro performers enter the community and our past performers become more available in their schedules. Rest assured, Happy Hour is here to stay. The events will continue and will be resuming soon! However, we are going to shift the focus away from the performance and musical aspect, and more toward casual, social RP tavern night events with a classy speakeasy vibe. We would love to be able to keep the spirit of the music and entertainment alive within the event and make the most of our stage downstairs, however, so if you are a bard who likes to play music with the in game bard performance feature and are available Thursday evenings within the timeframe of 9:00 - 11:00 PM EST on NA, please contact us! (Please note: this is a voluntary basis, as there will likely be no pay beyond personal tips because we are a non-profit, gil-free venue for our guests.)

RP Hooks ––– –

This character was in prision for around five years over a "fallacious, asinine" charge (According to her). Those years were spent in a "correction facility" for more promising researchers in Sharlayan.

Her grandmother (and late father) are Sharlayan natives. Her grandmother is a former forum member, desperately clinging to her glory in the past.

This character is based in Ul'dah, but due to her conditional release, she is often found travelling to fuel her own research on aetherial constructs.

This character was formerly involved in the criminal underground, often hiring people to do her dirty work. While she claims she "no longer involves herself in such activities", she very much does, and generally bounces off other criminals quite well.

This character used to be heavily involved in high society, and while her time spent in prision a correctional facility heavily put a damper on that, she certainly will try to get back to 'her old life'.

Fellow researchers on aetherial phenomena are welcome, especially if their research pertrains to more... Divisive forms of magic.

LFRP: Lunae Lux

(( Looking for new contacts for a very old character ♥ ))

∎ 𝐍𝐚𝐦𝐞: Lunae 'Lux' Kaneshiro ∎ 𝐑𝐚𝐜𝐞: Keeper, Miqo'te ∎ 𝐀𝐠𝐞: 29 ∎ 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫: Female ∎ 𝐒𝐞𝐱𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲: Straight ∎ 𝐀𝐯𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲: Est ((But I'm a nightowl)) ∎ 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐝: https://lunaelux.carrd.co/

▬ 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧��𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐬: Obsessive, Over-protective, Devious, Kind, Generous, Dangerous, Psychotic ▬ 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐁𝐢𝐨: Lunae is a self-made criminal mastermind. She climbed the ranks of the underworld at a spry age and soon created her own empire. That empire grew in the west and took hold in the east when she discovered her true birthright. Now she stands as the Oyabun to The Nisshoku-gumi, an infamous yakuza family that has bloodied the eastern sands throughout the years. Vivacious and deadly, Lunae seeks to expand her domain and make beneficial alliances or unfortunate enemies. ▬ 𝐏𝐥𝐨𝐭 𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐬:

- She is an established Shinobi and Astrologian who usually boasts about her blessings to tell the future. Are you looking for a reading? - Being a self-proclaimed criminal Empress she is a name that has been whispered. Have you heard of her? Are you foe or friend? - Lunae is also an entrepreneur, owning many businesses from The Sultana's Cup, The Phoenix Parlor, Club Underdark, and the Asagao Gardens. Were you an old patron? - Shady dealings? - Crime? - Are you from Hingashi? Perhaps you heard of her lost clan? Literally anything, I'm open to anything!

▬ 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐈𝐧: Longterm partners, dark, mature, horror themes. General crime roleplay! Romance is something that will be almost impossible on her unless given proper investments. ▬ 𝐍𝐨𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐈𝐧: Romance out the gate, Erp with no direction, most slice of life situations (I am for the cute stuff occassionally but I prefer story heavy plotlines with conflict)

[miqojak]

Okay, I've updated my carrd a good bit (and tried my best to optimize it for mobile, though it may still be a bit wonky in places). I added a LOT of old writings to my page that's a collection of all of my writings for/about Jak throughout the years, tweaked a few things, changed a few screenshots... but here it is! It's a new year. Come RP with me. If not with Jak, then maybe @antlers-and-omens or @vulpes-ferus !

[anamsgith]

Carrds updated!

Finally set up the aforementioned RP group!

-= LFRP: Anam Caillte =-

[Last update: 15/03/23]

A Gleaner with a side-job in Smuggling, run out of the basement of his Limsan tavern.

21+ please!

Any timezone, in game or DM's.

See the Carrd for more in-depth information & hooks!

Looking For:

Themes - I heavily enjoy the darker, grittier and more horror-influenced settings. Before writing in XIV, a great deal of text-based RP was set in the Soulsborne universe. Anything that falls into that bracket I'm down for; murder, assassinations, eldritch fuckery, curses, etcetc. If you have an idea or are unsure of something, please just ask!

Plots - I have a couple of ongoing things with Anam himself and I much prefer long, developmental arcs over shorter stuff.

I am fine with scenes involving sexuality, violence, drug/alcohol use, moderate gore/blood/torture, vulgarity, temporary injury and incapacitation, temporary imprisonment/kidnapping. I'm also happy to be your NPC assassin!

None of the above themes will take place without OOC consent from both sides and I will check in frequently. Any discomfort and the writing stops. Your mental well-being is more important to me than story

I also run a small RP Group over on Balmung!

The idea was born from blend of Lovecraftian horror, the Antivan Crows and Thief.

We're still very new and quite small, and while we are based on Balmung we do accept players from all over. You can find out more here;

If you have any questions, feel free to shoot me a message.

Thank you for reading! Have an excellent day ♡

[rhela-xiv]

The Azure Moon Lounge

I am beyond excited to finally share this place. With a lot of blood, sweat, and tears (and my RP partner's infinite patience), we completely remodeled a house and plan to open up the venue this month. Rhela will, of course, be behind the bar with her usual surly attitude and top notch drinks. Please check out the carrd, and look forward to further details!

[its-the-val-pal]

LF RP and RP Contacts!

Hey you there! Stop! Are you looking for RP? Do you want to make a new connection? You okay with someone returning to the game after a hiatus?

Hi it me! I’m Val! Pretty much everyone I played with is MIA and my character’s old connections are no more, so I’m looking to make new ones. To justify this, I’ve edited/changed the character a bit and I undoubtedly have a LOT of work to do to get back proper such as making a new carrd, glamours, mods, etc. But I’m working on it and taking it bit by bit! I have other characters and alts, too, that I’m going to be updating/posting about as well.

Here’s a sample of what he looks like now and, if interested, keep reading for a general bio/overview of what I’m looking for! 

Thank you so much for your time!

General Info

Name: Zheval Seltik (Val) Age: 36 Race: Viera Gender: Male (He/Him) Occupation: Mercenary/Bodyguard/Sword for Hire Timezone: CST, but I can make most things work as long as it isn't beyond 2AM CST. RP Style: I can do semi/multi-para and everything in between. I usually change my posting style to match the tempo of the RP. Ideally I'd like to get involved with others that also enjoy writing so I can improve my style and skill. A sample of my writing can be found here, having just recently posted it to get a feel for the character.

OOC: Hello! I've been playing since launch and RPing for far longer--as far back as old school Ayenee RP chats, through WoW (Silver Hand/Moon Guard - WotLK), and many others. I'm returning from a bit of a hiatus and pretty much all of my contacts are gone, so I'm starting over! Character rebuild, catching up in game, and so on. As for what I'm looking for--Zheval's always been a combatant. He can't read/write very well and it's a typical amnesia story to justify starting over. I love exciting RP-conflict, mystery, combat, adventuring, slice of life, mature, dark, etc. I'm happy to also do hangout/slice of life RP and take things a little slower, but I see him getting into tournaments for the thrill of the fight and, hopefully, being hired by an FC or individual as a guard, mercenary, or hired hand of some sort. All that to say I do have a carrd, but it's incredibly out of date. That's going to be resolved soon and is my first priority. The general idea of the character won't change, but obviously some things will be different as he's operating in a bit of a fog. Either way, to get an idea of who he was and what was left behind, you can find it here.

I Am Looking For

In-Game RP -21+ RP partners/friends to RP with in game. I'm okay with Discord, but I'd rather do within the setting/game itself.    

Long-term RP -So the character can naturally grow and evolve. I'm not looking for relationship/ERP for the sake of having one. He has priorities and, if those ever come to completion, then maybe the possibility will open up. But I want things to progress naturally and organically and right now it's not on his radar.

Themes -I'm up for just about anything! Dark, mature, casual, criminal, heroic, adventurous, whatever. I can fit this character into just about anything as-is and welcome it!

Hooks

Bodyguard/Merc - He has previous work as a guard and is currently doing that to make enough coin to live. 

Tournament/Arena - Host a tournament? Know one? He's down. Underground, seedy dives feel right to him for some reason. 

 Ul'dahn Native - Speaking of-does your character often visit Ul'dah/Central Thanalan? Maybe the bridge just near the Grindstone? That's his home when he can't afford a room in the inn! For some reason, it comforts him. 

Amnesia Experience - Does your character have experience with amnesia? Dealing with it themselves? Think they can help him learn who he was? He'd be more than willing to hear their story and form a bond. 

Exploration - So much of the world is a fog to him, and the littlest thing stands to awaken a memory or feel familiar to him. If your character either wants to help him dig through the fog or just an adventurous sort to explore the world, count him in! 

F.C. - Does your character's initials match F.C.? The ring is all he has to go on as to who he was, and any such person is immediately interesting to him. 

Enemies - A member of his past? Want to torment him? I'm all for it! 

Frienemies - A member of his past that used to hate him? Want to start a love/hate relationship where they’re constantly trying to one-up and cause problems for each other? Let’s go!

 Ideas! - I'm up for anything else so long as it isn't much more than lore-bending. There's likely a lot I missed and I'm more than open to new ideas! 

Please feel free to DM me either on here or via discord at itsthevalpal if any of this piques your interest at all. I'm looking forward to it!

[fair-fae]

LFRP - Faye Covington - Crystal DC

Hello! I am a long time FFXIV RPer looking for more RP for my main, Faye Covington (though I have a slew of alts we can have some fun with, as well), a noblewoman and mage hailing from the Twelveswood where she runs a teahouse which doubles as a front for an information brokering business. Feel free to check out her carrd above for full details! Ideally, I’d like to delve into the more exciting things–drama, mystery, intrigue, tension, conflict, combat, adventure, horror, DMed events, dark and mature stuff, storydriven RP and the like! Maybe even some romance later down the line if things click that way. I definitely also enjoy casual, social, slice-of-life, and tavern RP, but I expect that will fall into place along the way!

I am looking for…

In Game RP - I enjoy Discord RP sometimes, but I’d like to do some RP in game and establish a rapport for our characters there first! Long Term RP - I would like to RP with people who actively play the game and can create an ongoing story where we RP together every so often rather than one-and-done scenes. Para RP - My post length ranges from semi-para to multi-para usually. I would love to RP with folks who enjoy writing so I can flex my muscles a little! Lore Friendliness - I do enjoy FFXIV’s setting and how respecting it makes for a more cohesive story. So I don’t like breaking or disregarding the lore! But I do like to suspend disbelief a little and explore the bounds of what’s possible in this fantasy setting and have fun with things. If some lore bending or “unusual” characters aren’t your thing, please know all my characters have their oddities.

Hooks NEW! Bodyguard Wanted - With her previous one out of the job, Faye is looking for a new bodyguard(s). Playing a tough type who wouldn't mind some gil for putting up with a sassy noblewoman? Here's your opportunity for some RP fun, including getting dragged along for various RP events and storylines, if you're interested. Information Broker - Does your character have any reason to hire an information broker or private detective? Need to move your storyline along? Want to form a business partnership… or rivalry? Did someone hire Faye to investigate your character? Or perhaps it was your character who was already sold out to an enemy and they want their revenge? Kindred Spirits - Is your character a fellow from the upper crust? Gridanian? Businessperson? Tea aficionado? Mage? Ties to the Garlean Empire? Or the Void? Will it lead to a friendship or partnership? Or frenemies, rivals, or enemies? Socialite - Faye likes to make her existence known and go out and about. Need someone to attend (non ERP/night club) RP events with you? I am glad to! Anything Else - I am down for any suggestions. If there is a role in your story that needs filled, let me know. If anything in Faye’s carrd piques your interest, including for a pre-established connection, run it by me! If you’re writing a personal storyline for your character and they need some friends, I’m along for the ride. If there’s a reason you think Faye might hire your character for something in their expertise, just let me know! Faye can interact with pretty much any character, and depending on circumstances can play the hero or the villain, or anywhere between, so please toss your ideas at me! ??? - Do you like vampires? What? Why do I ask? No reason, really…

Please message me if you’re interested! Discord: Destiny (Faye)#8463

[dumb-hat]

LFRP - Evander Winsome

Perpetually trapped between a sense of idleness and reckless, impulsive abandon, Evander never met a bad idea he didn’t want to take out to dinner. He’s done his level best to leave a dark past behind, but he can’t help it if the air feels cooler and the light a little brighter when you’re standing in the shade. It used to be that every day broke with him begging the question “Just how bored do I wanna be?” Now, he can’t seem to catch a godsdamn break. That’s okay though, theft adventure keeps the ennui at bay.

THE BASICS –––

Name: Evander Winsome

Age: 27

Nameday: 12th Sun of the 5th Umbral Moon

Race: Midlander Hyur

Gender: Male

Alignment: Chaotic Good, though he’s not always convinced on the “Good” part.

Marital Status: “It’s complicated. I mean, it’s not complicated to me, but everyone else seems to think it is."

Server: Balmung

PHYSICAL APPEARANCE –––

Hair: Chestnut Brown; looks to be in perpetual need of a trim

Eyes: Amber

Height: 5′9

Build: Evander has a swimmer’s physique: Long, lean, broad-shouldered and tapering to a narrow waist. Given his lifestyle, he might have trouble maintaining that as he gets older, but for now he’s gifted with a metabolism that lets him get away with precious little intentional maintenance.

Common Accessories: Far too many flasks; ignition keys and controls for various vehicles and small automata; his drone, Valencia; his dumb hat; a gold pendant in the shape of a swan, its neck crooked long; lockpicks; a multitool or three.

PERSONAL –––

Profession: Evander will admit to being a courier, a searcher, a seeker,  a finder or something along those lines. If you need something, he can track it down and get it from one place to another. He doesn’t think of himself as much of a fighter, but he’s growing more comfortable with bodyguard work. He’s also a picklock, a safecracker and a burglar, though he’s not as quick to advertise all that.

Hobbies: He loves being around people, and he loves indulging. As far as he’s concerned, drinking and eating count as hobbies. Left to his own devices, he’s a tinker,  an avid reader (particularly of romance novels, particularly the works of Quill Quivers [@worldofquillquivers​] and Summer Bellmayne [@thefreelanceangel​]), and often fond of especially stupid wagers, though straightforward gambling doesn't interest him as much.

Languages: He’s only fluent in Eorzean Common but he knows a smattering of Old Elezen and loves picking up bits and pieces of whatever he can along the way.

Residence: His Goblet apartment is under near-constant renovation. He’s got a room he rents from his Free Company, but it’s barely furnished aside from an astonishing array of liquor bottles, shipping crates and a huge canopy bed.

Birthplace: Limsa Lominsa

Patron Deity: He’s always personally felt a call toward Nymeia and Byregot, but feels its his duty to venerate Oschon, for some reason. He doesn’t much like to talk about it.

RELATIONSHIPS –––

Spouse: “I thought we went over this?”

Children: “Gods, I hope not.”

Parents: “Never knew ‘em.”

Siblings: “My brother raised me. I wish he was still here. You’d have liked him.”

Other Relatives: “Nope. None that I know of. That whole ‘orphan’ thing, y’know?”

Pets: “I take care of a monstrous, wonderful little sheep named Doctor One and a surprisingly intelligent smallshell named Saint Barnabus, who seems to have recently taken on another crab named Klaus as a tenant. There’s also my little drone, Valencia. A lot of people might not count her, but I do.”

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION –––

Smoking Habit:  Definitely not a habit. He might take something if offered, but he won’t seek it out on his own and he’s more likely to politely decline.

Drugs: Yes. Not anything and everything, and not all the time, but yes. Doors were made to be open, and that includes the doors of perception.

Alcohol: Evander doesn’t have a drinking problem except for when he can’t get a drink.

RP HOOKS –––

Contemptible Youth: Evander grew up amongst a gang of orphans in Limsa Lominsa. Were you a fellow Limsan wharf rat? Were you a criminal? Did you just spend a lot of time in the wrong parts of town? It’s been a while, but you might recognize him.

Easy Mark: Evander often finds it easier to fly under the radar and avoid notice. To this end, he often tries to exude an air of hapless gullibility. Feel free to try and rope him into some con or scheme!

Yeah, Okay: These are Evander’s words to live by. It’s not that he can’t say no, so much as he’s learned that “yes” is usually the more interesting answer. Catch him in the right mood, and he’s likely to go along with almost any hare-brained plan.

Old Habits Die Hard: A part of him yearns to live a good, decent, upright life. The problem is that part of him gets bored very quickly. Lately, he’s found himself increasingly likely to drawn to less-than-legal endeavors to keep himself occupied. 

People Person: Whether it’s meeting someone new, getting to know an old friend better, or even making a new rival, frenemy or worse, he just loves people at the end of the day. Don’t be shy. You don’t need an excuse. Just come say hi!

CONTACT INFORMATION  –––

It’s not too hard to get a hold of me through tumblr. I mean, you’re already here, aren’t you? Just shoot me a message!

If you see me in game, I love walk ups, drive-bys, tells, whatever! Please, by all means feel free to say something, whether you want to interact in character or just say hi! It almost always makes my day.

I have Discord and I usually really like RPing there, though I kind of like to get to chat a little through another venue first. I sometimes, very rarely, wander through one of the big Discord servers out there, and if you find me out in the wild you can feel free to say hi there, too.

Finally, I’m based in the US (CST, GMT-6) but work most weeknight evenings and spend much of my weekends doing TTRPG stuff. My work is often flexible that I can chat or RP, or even get in game from time to time, but it's not always a given. It might sound like I'm hard to get a hold of, but I'm almost always happy to have a chat. If you catch me in game, you should definitely come say hello!
