Story Hooks
Yakuza: From a young age, Kotomi was involved with gang culture, primarily in Kugane where she was involved in a group known as the Golden Viper. People who have dealt with similar organisations would likely be aware of her former affiliations through her tattoos or possibly by name.
Shady Is As Shady Does: Kotomi is, without a doubt, a morally-grey individual. Her position as a mercenary, former gang ties, and her professions have lead her to have several long standing connections within the black market underworld. Smugglers, fences and those of more dubious nature can feel free to know of her or be aware of her, and that she’s constantly looking for more contacts.
Merc Work Ain’t Cheap: With her current line of work, Kotomi is always looking for other mercenaries to get in contact with throughout Eorzea. Her list of associates and friends is a short one in her new home, so new faces is something she’s on the lookout for. As a side-job, she also rents out her capabilities as a practiced alchemist to those looking for it.
Stranger in a Strange Land: Following her only recent arrival to Eorzea, Kotomi has found herself with little in the ways of ‘friends’ and contacts, much to her chagrin and constant denial. Whether or not she admits it, she’s always looking for more people to actually know on the continent, though has a difficult time actually achieving it. Her training as a Hingan practitioner of Ninjutsu also leaves her open to forming more connections with fellow users of the art, and those from Hingashi in general. (And Domans with great reluctance)
Artist: Kotomi is an artistic soul at heart, and has accrued a small amount of popularity in Kugane for her landscape and portrait work. Whilst this side of her is usually kept hidden and reserved for only those close to her, she is interested in meeting Eorzean artists of all kinds to expand her own knowledge and style.
What I’m Looking For
Primarily I’m looking for in game RP, but I’m far from opposed to using Discord! My Discord is AdmiralT#7039 and I’m usually always around and available, so don’t be afraid to give me a poke! For in game, I’m looking for a lot of everything, honestly; both one on one, character driven interactions, but also large, public events as well! I’m still relatively new to Balmung’s RPC, so I’m mainly looking to get involved and start plotting and writing stories with people! My times are EU GMT, and I’m usually available for the time being all day and evening, except for Monday! I’m a full time college student, so normally my times are in flux, especially around deadlines.

WARK! Magazine - Sixth Astral Moon - Issue #18
As the seasons change, and the leaves grow gold, bronze and copper, so too do we put another issue of WARK! before our readers. I hope you don’t mind me a little bit of purple-fancy, but I always get a little romantic around this time of the year. It feels as if the world itself is relaxing into its warm bed. Despite the commotion that’s taken hold around us, I can only say I admire the efforts put toward reflection on what we are thankful for. For me, it’s flowery words, calm evening and the opportunity to share these tales and happenings with your, dear reader.
Signed, Editor-in-Chief Charlette Bellamy
