✉ FFXIV RP Letters / Postcards ✉

The concept is simple: Send IC letters/postcards to other characters (via Asks).

You don't have to handwrite them either. Why not pick a font that best represents your character's handwriting, and type it instead? Then just hand it to the Post Moogles (upload it to the recipient's Asks).

As with real life letters, there's no requirements on length, or frequency. You can write as much (or little) as you want, when you want.

If anyone sees this and wants to write any of my characters, please hit me up. I also highly encourage reaching out to others to see if they'd be interested in such a thing.

It could also be a fun to extend RP to characters that you've seen around, but never had a chance to interact with. Timezones and DC locations have no power here!!

Something you'll want to establish before you start writing though, is how your characters know each other. Could be they simply posted/read a notice on a board about penpals wanted. Or maybe they met previously? Maybe they grew-up together?

Why not choose parchment that suits your character? Maybe they like pretty patterned paper, and always have a ready supply of stationery to choose from.

Or maybe they travel a lot, and just use a page or two from an everyday notepad they keep with them.

Or could they be the type that frequently forgets to write, and maybe only has a napkin or back of a flyer to hand when they finally do remember?

You could write about anything you'd like. Whatever your OC gets up to, or thinks about, and is happy to share.

Whatever you do: Have fun!!

(This will serve as a pinned post. More characters might be added in the future) Thanks for reading! ♡

[mist-touchedxiv]

Rating: 18+

Name: Loksen Tyr

Race: Viera | Veena

Patron Deity: Oschon

Hometown: Skatay Range | Kópavogur

Age: 75+

Height: 6'2"

Weight: 198 lb

Hair: Black with unusual natural blue streaks

Eyes: Aether blue

Gender: Male (he/him)

Orientation: Heterosexual

Marital Status: Single

Occupation: Adventurer

Job: SAM/ARC

Favorite Color: Blue

Smoking: Yes, occasionally. Prefers using a kiseru. Blends own tobacco, typically with vanilla. The smell of smoked tobacco can help dull his already potent Vieran sense of smell if he feels overwhelmed

Drinking: Yes. Loves Vieran aquavit and Mjød, but hasn't encountered either in years. Due to spending time in Hingashi enjoys sake and often carries a flask, which he has been known to use as a weapon

Diet: Omnivore

Hobbies: Whittling, archery, drinking and eating, traveling, fishing, mahjong, reading Vieran poetry, camping

Personality: Reserved, almost aloof. Intense. Helpful. Honorable. His noble heart and wanderlust belies a quiet guilt.

Distinguishing Features: Vieran male. Lotta blue. Speaks Eorzean with a noticeable but pleasant accent akin to Finnish. Faded scars across his back and torso. Brand on the back of neck to identify him as a Garlean prisoner, usually covered by hair.

Löksen was a typical Wood-warder many years ago, until the day the Garlean empire attacked Dalmasca. During a periodic visit to his home village, hearing disturbing rumors that Garlemald had set eyes on Dalmasca. Having proven to be a great archer, the leaders urged him and a small group of other Wood-warders to make a trip to Dalmasca to convince the Viera living in the city to come home.

Ultimately, they failed. Having scarcely arrived in the foreign city, it was overrun by Garlean forces and the other men were killed in the ensuing battles and Löksen taken prisoner for several years. During his imprisonment at a Garlean labor camp, Löksen was a target of fascination and sometimes ridicule as a rare male of an already elusive people. His Wood-warder background prepared him for the harsh conditions of the camp and helped him survive. His time in the camp also introduced him to a variety of people and cultures that he never would have encountered otherwise. Imprisoned Sharlayan scholars taught him the Eorzean language, an old Hingan woman taught him the way of the samurai, a pair of Lalafell smugglers regaled him with stories of Ul'dah, among others.

Eventually, the camp was inadvertently liberated by Bahamut's rampage and during the chaos, Löksen fought and killed the Garlean officer who had served as a tormentor and overseer and took their gunblade as a trophy that he carries with him.

Now he wanders Etheirys partly as an adventurer inspired by the stories of his fellow inmates about the diverse lands they came from, but also to try to escape a sense of guilt for failing his people in Dalmasca and trying to seek solace.

RP Hooks

Hey there, mun here. I'm pretty flexible on how to start interactions. I'm completely open to discussing things or just go with the flow, provided you start of course.

I designed Loksen to essentially be a support character. He's not a WoL, he's not blessed with Echo. Honestly, my goal with him is to bring texture and enhance YOUR story. I suppose I'm more focused on being a character than a protag, I guess.

He's got his own little stories, but I'm here to make friends and try my hand at a creative outlet that I haven't done in several years.

Anyways, here's some possibilities!

Yojimbo: A wandering warrior of no small skill. Something need doing? Body? Guarded. Bounties? Hunted. Monsters? Slain. Need a courier because you can't deliver through regular services? He's got legs.

Animal-lover: He will pet the animals.

Tarzan Boy: You can take the Wood-warder out of the woods, but you can't take the warder out... of... the... Well, Loksen prefers to be out in nature when he gets the chance and he can be a bit wild. Maybe you encounter him out in the Shroud climbing amongst the trees and foraging for food.

"Where'd You Get That?!": As a samurai, Loksen carries an extremely unusual blade: the gunblade of a Primus Ordinarius of exquisite craftsmanship. Sure to draw the attention of any Garleans affiliated character. It has been modified to be suited for fighting in the manner of the legendary Hingashi warrior tradition.

LFRP: Miss Baivoux - Crystal DC

An elegant woman composed nearly entirely of mysteries and dangers, Miss Baivoux is someone I've only barely gotten to RP and would really, really, really love to have a proper chance to play her.

Miss B has the air and attitude of a noble, but seemingly has no ties to any of the noble houses outside of familiarity on both sides. No one seems to be especially fond of her though. When asked what she does, she claims to be a researcher into magic and alchemy, but rarely will elaborate beyond that. She is a woman with a dark present, past, and future and anyone who wants to get involved with her had better be well aware of that.

In-game RP: Is preferred for the most part, but I am willing to occasionally do Discord stuff in the long run. I have a weird work schedule and travel a fair bit, so sometimes its easier to continue a scene in messages. However, I would prefer to do in-game for the start.

Story Types: I am open to most genre of RP, but Miss B is a particular sort of character. Horror and mystery are for sure to be expected. She is also a non-combatant, so do not expect her to be leading any adventures (unless she had some shield between her and any dangers). While she can occasionally be friendly and open, she is not the sort one has a drink with.

Story Length: I am for sure looking for long-term stories and RP here. Miss B is a character made for long, slow stories. I am also 100% not looking for romance with her, she is aromantic for starters and amoral for seconds.

Misc: I certainly prefer paragraph length RP, but I know there are times when that doesn't work. However, on the whole, I want something meaty that I (and Miss B) can sink teeth into and really get dramatic and moody.

Hooks:

Miss Baivoux is a character steeped in horror tropes. She delves into forbidden magic of every sort she can find.

Are you also into those schools of magic, do you consider yourself a peer of hers? Present yourself to her withering gaze and find out if she thinks you're worthy to consider yourself such.

Are you an amoral merchant who can procure things of extremely dubious legality and flat-out immoral acquisition methods? Maybe she and you can strike up a working relationship.

Are you a young mage, desperate for power and willing to give up everything you have and are? Maybe she could find room for a pupil.

Does she drink a lot of blood? She doesn't think its a lot. Is she a vampire? Who are you and why are you asking so many questions?

⋮ ➊ Crystal Braves: Though disbanded and tarnished, the Crystal Braves were Florence's first semblance of structure and family outside of her blood. Perhaps you served alongside her, or maybe you have a bounty for her head for her betrayal. Regardless, Florence does not shy away from her past and will not stand for the erasure of her conquests - nor the sacrifices made along the way.

- Florence served time for her crimes against Eorzea and earned her freedom in exchange for her plea against fellow Braves. While there is no official bounty against her, she's sure to have ruffled a few feathers and gained an enemy or two.

⋮ ➋ Sell-Sword: Florence is a hired sell-sword for an Ala Mhigan textile merchant. Her endeavors currently have her traveling to the distant shores of Thavnair and most recently the New World. She often partakes in local hunts and fetes and can be seen lurking around taverns and inns once the sun sets.

- Have a mark or target you need captured or eliminated? Florence is a perfect hire: discreet, effective, and ruthless.

⋮ ➌ Black Market: Struggling to cope, Florence has developed a nasty taste for all things indulgent. Should your contacts hear of a woman in search to quench her vices, Florence is sure to be near.

- There is no price too high or steep for Florence, and she's willing to stoop to the lowest of levels to sate her addictions.

【 ❛ OOC Information  ⋯⋯ ⋯

⋮ ➊ Feel free to shoot me a PM here, on Discord ( scifidblftr ), or IG ( Florence Corlieux@Balmung ).

⋮ ➋ I primarily RP over Discord but am open to events and IG plots.

⋮ ➌ I am looking for connections, partners, and an IC FC. Even if you don’t RP, I’m always open to chat!

I am fine with: romance, angst, action, horror, slice of life, adventure, and much more. I am not fine with: noncon, plotless smut, and controversial kinks.

Please keep in mind that Florence is a good person who has done evil things for the sake of freedom. Everything she's done, she's viewed as just or for the greater good. Most of her negative qualities and choices can be attributed to her drug and alcohol addictions even if they do not absolve her of her crimes.

FFXXIV Directory - Ley Qunya

Art by @minoruru

Roleplay and Inspiration Blog for Ley Qunya, FFXIV RP character on Balmung (Crystal). Most things are queued. Occasionally NSFW.

Ley is the reclusive and somewhat aloof owner of Spell Bound, a small bookstore specializing in rare, powerful, or lost tomes, for those who know where to look for it.

Carrd Playlist Screenshots and Art Prompts and Asks My Art (Coming ... Eventually) Writing OOC Tumblr

Name: Ley Qunya

Age: Unspecified Adult

Nameday: 16th Sun of the 1st Umbral Moon

Race: Miqo'te (Keeper of the Moon)

Gender: Female

Sexuality: Demi Bi (Polyamorous)

Relationship Status: It's Complicated

Server: Balmung

IC Jobs: Scholar, Summoner, Dancer

Art by @the-sycophant

Appearance: Ley is a fairly unremarkable Miqo'te, aside from the fact that she is nearly all grey. Her hair is well cared for, long and silky and cut in a straight line across her back, the silvery tone nearly identical to her skin. Paler clan markings flow across her body and marks her face, along with a small teardrop shape at her forehead.

Eyes: Grey

Favored Clothing Style: Ley's clothing preferences falls somewhere between Hobo Wild Witch and Dark Academia Prodigy.

Common Accessories: She almost always carries a tome tied to her belt.

Profession:  Rare book dealer. Author.

Hobbies: Perhaps unsurprisingly, Ley reads a lot. What may be less expected is that in her spare time, she finds a decent amount of guilty pleasure in reading romance novels, preferably with an adventure spin. She also plays the cello.

Residence: Gridania, though she spends a decent amount of time traveling

Birthplace: The Black Shroud

Patron Deity: Menphina, the Lover

Spouse: No. Marriage is not a part of her culture and while relationships are not out of the realm of possibility to her, she values her independence and mostly solitary lifestyle too much to give it up.

Children: None, and no plans for that to change.

Parents: She doesn't know her father, but she grew up in a small family clan with her mother and a couple of aunts, who co-parented all the children.

Siblings: Ley has several sisters, and while they don't always see each other a lot, it's not uncommon for them to check in on each other once in a while. She also has a brother she has not seen since he became an adult and left their clan.

Other Relatives: A bunch of cousins she also grew up with.

Pets: While not exactly a pet, Ley is often accompanied by a small faerie named Nox, and a Carbuncle. She also has a silvery Chocobo named Andraste.

Wild Steps: Ley's tribe traveled heavily through the Black Shroud, and traded with other Keeper tribes. She may be familiar to other Keepers of the Moon.

I am generally open to RP and connections, but I work a lot so I'm not always around. Contact me here on tumblr or find me in game is the best bet.

I do have a Discord and I do RP on it. I don’t give that information out right away though. I’d like to interact in game or through tumblr a few times before I feel comfortable giving that information out.

Player is +30. I am open to most kind types of RP, but please don't expect immediate romance, Ley is a pretty reserved character.

LFRP - Ignatia Quille

Name: Ignatia Quille

Race: Au Ra - Raen

Gender: F

Sexuality: Straight(ish)

Relationship status: Single

Age: 34

Profession: ex-drug lord (lady?) and addict, forger, ship captain

Hobbies: travel, poaching, artifact collection

Ignatia spent many years attempting to run from her past in only the most destructive ways: substance abuse, gambling, chaotic romances, pure adrenaline. She grew an empire from nothing but the sheafs of paper and ink she brought with her to the encampments outside the gates of Ul'Dah. Her success was pure luck. However, her downfall was of her own hand.

When the rock bottom she found herself in grew too insufferable for her, she set off for some years of solitude only to return riding the coattails of the same luck that uplifted her the first time.

Now, the captain of her own ship, she braves the seas for rare finds. From animals to gold, the Raen now feeds her desire for a thrill by drafting faux writs of passage to take what she wishes and display the trophies in her home.

RP Hooks

The Prodigal Bitch of Ul'Dah

Ignatia's reputation preceded her within the city: brutal, ruthless, sharp. Any who feared an altercation would avoid her, but those who enjoyed a challenge would have no issue with that. Any who dared poke the bear would find that she quite enjoyed a good banter dripping with double entendre and vague threats. It's an art only the most depraved would appreciate.

When she disappeared, though, her normal contacts and clientele would find themselves coming up short for info on where she went. Her office and home were left abandoned with no explanation and no forwarding address. Rumors spread: perhaps she'd been arrested, maybe an aggravated Blade had finally killed her. No matter the reason, her name once again started circulating in recent moons. Was she back? Where was she this whole time? Where can she be found now?

Sailors Needed

A captain needs sailors. If your character's looking for a job, perhaps they would find her help wanted posters tacked up around the city.

No Suitors?

Ignatia was known in some circles for her disastrous taste in partners - and for her propensity to chew them up and spit them out. Where one would expect a new partner draped over her arm upon her return, she seems to have sworn off romance and - shockingly - physical intimacy. Would your character feel so emboldened to try to sneak under her shell? Would they be successful? It would certainly be fun for her to see them try.

OOC Info

I'm looking for long-term RP partners (age 21+) who enjoy exploring darker and mature themes as much as I do! A written media, I've found, allows for a safer avenue in which to explore these things. Communication is key, however, and if any topic goes too far for you I'm fully capable of dialing it back!

I can RP both in-game and via Discord. I have a full-time job, and I also enjoy having my own hobbies and friends outside of online gaming. As such, I'm not always able to respond right away, nor am I able to stay up into the wee hours of the morning. Central US timezone.

I'm not here for the smut. If it happens in the course of an RP and there's a purpose, I'm fine with it. If I feel it would make sense, but I'm not in the mood to go into it, I'd prefer to fade to black. Your preferences are also important, so if you'd rather FTB every time or avoid ERP altogehter, that's a-okay with me! ERP isn't my goal, storytelling is.

Send me a message if you're interested! We can trade info and set something up! ^^

LRFP: SEEKING VENUES & COMMUNITIES

Hello again folks!

Having finished my move and fully returned from my hiatus, I now find myself in search of some RP. But I am looking for something fairly specific.

While I have had no problem finding regency-themed and upscale venues and RP communities for Mercer's brother, Sebastian, I am finding it difficult to locate the opposite for Mercer within Ishgard. While I am happy to hear about dive bars and gambling dens outside of Ishgard, I am really looking to find a few corners of the Ishgard RP community that are centered around the experiences of common folk and Brume rats. While I love the upper crust as much as the next guy, Mercer is my main man, and I really want to find him places to be where he isn't viewed as inherently less by the nature of the theming of the group. With that said, here is a TLDR list of what I am looking for. This list is not all inclusive. If you know of a place that might interest me, please hit me up! Interested in: »» In-Game RP »» RP Venues »» Dive Bars »» Gambling Halls »» Seedier/Dingier Venues »» Biiiig bonus if these venues are in Ishgard »» Discord Communities / FCs focused on Ishgard from the common perspective

Not interested in: »» Venues ICly located in Hingashi. Sorry folks. Mercer has IC reasons for never setting foot in Hingashi.»» Upscale Venues »» Venues or Communities focused on nobility or the upper crust of Ishgard (or any other city state).

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). »» I am available for RP most nights starting at 7 PM EST until around Midnight EST. I do work and frequent other venues on Sebastian, so I will also be working around that schedule. But I am sure we can make it work.

He had to have died. Though, what sins he'd committed to have warranted this trip to the abyss was beyond the Wood-warder.

A cough and the acrid burn of smoke grated across his throat brought him to the present. No. Not dead. But that wasn't a comfort.

Loksen's vision swam back into focus as he half-heartedly shield his face from nightmare heat of an unnatural blue fire that engulfed the market. The cough turned into a retch as another smell reached him: cooked meat.

With surprising alacrity for how godsawful he felt he sat up as his stomach lurched and the horrible burn of smoke in his throat met bile and the terribly pleasant remnants of berries and the copper taste of blood.

Wiping his mouth of the vomit, he dragged himself to his feet, his body protesting quietly the whole way.

The lucky dead (bangaa, Hyur and worst of all, Viera) strewn about in pieces and undefineable masses around the former market, the desert afternoon made dark by an impenetrable black smoke of midnight absurdly lit with the cerulean flames of Garlean destruction.

He remembered the agony of checking every Viera and other for signs of life to no avail. But, he found his attention seemingly guided down a small alley strewn with debris and the detritus of the lives of several pe-

He pushed the thought down, trying to center himself as he stumbled down an impossibly labyrinthine alley. The miles of burning urban hellscape soon gave implausibly a wide shallow stream, surrounded by an infinite darkness. He could feel the cool water sloshing at his knees, but he didn't clock the incongruity. Something. SomeONE had caught his attention. Pristine, beautiful in the knee deep water.

Fruitlessly, he waded through the water trying to close the distance but the crystal clear water was like quicksand.

Soon, the figure was slowly engulfed in the cerulean flames of Rabanastre and his pain intensified as if his very skin was slowly being stripped off his body and he cried.

"Loki... Rakas..." came an achingly beautiful voice from the burning Viera woman.

A psyche shattering primal scream of sorrow tore him asunder with sanity shredding pain.

He awoke with a gasp, his face soaked with sweat and silent tears and sat up with a start. As the drowsiness gave way to consciousness the world around him came into focus slowly.

The smell of sea salt was soon joined by calming rumble of ocean waves and the call of seabirds. Instinctively, he touched the raised scar tissue on the back of neck, a reminder of time past.

Taking several deep breathes to calm himself, he allowed the calming seabreeze coming from the gently undulating curtains of a nearby open window. A sleepy feminine murmur and the surprisingly gently touch of a large slender hand reassuringly gripped his bare inner thigh.

"Loki... you okay..." Merylwyb inquired sleepily into her pillow.

Elyas Kara -- Stray Sinner (they/it)

"So maybe I am too kind, is that so wrong?"

Born to a Sharlayan Forum member and lost during the Exodus, Elyas Kara was raised by a pair of Hyur in the Brume. Now bound to a voidsent and a cause alike, Elyas leads the free company Oschon's Journey with their husband, soulmate, and closest partner, Kaiyo Mikazuki.

Elyas is hotheaded, reckless, and brash, quick to do what they feel is right and even quicker to protect those they care about. Their long-term voidsent pact has left them somewhat emotionally unstable; as have the traumas they’ve endured over the years. This same bond has inflicted them with an insatiable bloodlust, one they try to suppress (or indulge in a controlled manner).

Their voidsent bond is quite specific, and the source of many of their stranger abilities. Formed at age nine to ward off partial paralysis, Elyas and their bond, Barbatos, walk as one. They are hand in hand, they are of two minds in one body, and such consistent exposure to the void has left Elyas's blood visibly tainted, their body altered in minute ways. Emphasis on minute: their ebony horns are not a result of this pact. This pact has led them to become a rather skilled mimic, making them a formidable opponent with a wide repertoire of skills.

Elyas's bread and butter is the hunting of malicious voidsent and slavers, occasionally working a side gig to suit their whims. They can be found at a few underground fight clubs getting their shit rocked on a routine basis, but are just as easily found digging through dusty tomes as they research the Fifth Astral Era.

Always open to contacts of basically any kind for Elyas! They're my main, they're flexible, they can be crushed into any shape or form!

LFRP: Alice Leach - Crystal DC

Look at that stud muffin...can you believe she hasn't been in any RP for almost a year now?? Crazy. That's why I'm looking for new RP contacts! Alice is a bruiser, bodyguard type with a penchant for secret softness and surprising insights. She is currently aimless and looking for something to occupy her mind and time, be that people or work.

In-game RP: Is preferred for the most part, but I am willing to occasionally do Discord stuff in the long run. I have a weird work schedule and travel a fair bit, so sometimes it is easier. I would prefer to do in game to start.

Story Length: I would greatly prefer long term RP as opposed to just one-offs. I've had plenty of one-offs and they leave me feeling deflated. I want a storyline, though not necessarily romantic (I'm not opposed, but I think going into an RP with that goal leads to bad times.)

Story Types: I am pretty open to all sorts of stories. Casual slice-of-life tends to burn itself out pretty quickly, so action and adventure, mystery, even horror stuff to punctuate the story is always good. Alice is an inherently violent creature, despite her looks, so playing to that is preferred (also it gives time to play out the juxtaposition of her as violent and also tender.)

Misc: I certainly prefer paragraph length RP, but I know there are times when that doesn't work. Sassy banter works better in short bursts, for example. That being said, I need meaty RP, something that has substance.

HOOKS! RIGHT HERE!

Do you need someone to enact incredible violence, either as a bodyguard or a mercenary? Do you need a self-sacrificing meat-shield to protect you in "abandoned" ruins and temples?

Do you need someone with connections both above and below board, fostered through time as a distiller running a slightly shady business before she got bored?

Do you need someone who won't ask a lot of questions pertaining to morality of a plan as you obtain goods that may or may not belong to you?

Do you just need someone brash and exciting to go on stupid adventures with? Message me and maybe we can come up with something fun!
