<p><font style="color:#HIGHLIGHT COLOR;" size="2" family="Georgia"><b>Tahla’ra Molkot </b></font> '''(Pronunciation''': Ta-luh-rah''')''', Tahla'ra's origins lie deep within the hooded boughs of the Black Shroud, like many Keepers before him. Unlike most keepers, though, he tends to prefer the vibrancy and life of the inner city, spending most of his time amongst the shops, homes and transportation systems of Gridania and Limsa Lominsa. The reason for this is that he was raised there, by parents who were not related to him on a biological level, and on a diurnal timescale so strange and alien to other Keepers. His adopted family was kind to him, and he found companionship amongst those youths near the woodland city who, like him, aspired to join the Woodwailers in their defense of the forest. Unfortunately for Tahla, those around him were incapable of knowing he bore no connection to the poachers and hunters of his race that lived deep in the Shroud, and was often the subject of racial prejudice and scorn, to the point of being physically accosted on more than one occasion when members of the Woodwailers themselves turned a blind eye. | <p><font style="color:#HIGHLIGHT COLOR;" size="2" family="Georgia"><b>Tahla’ra Molkot </b></font> '''(Pronunciation''': Ta-luh-rah''')''', Tahla'ra's origins lie deep within the hooded boughs of the Black Shroud, like many Keepers before him.

<p>Tahla’ra stands unusually tall for a Miqo’te Keeper, standing at equal height with many Midlander Hyur-folk, though this is not unheard of. His body is supremely athletic and thoroughly muscled, but also scarred and pitted from a life of battle. Several prominent marks run along his back, stretching from shoulder to hip, indicative of an attack from a large animal of some sort. His hair is neatly shorn, though he laments the bangs that refuse to cooperate with the rest. His eyes and the streaks through his hair are a deep, pure blue. Like many Miqo’te from the forests, he bears several tattoos upon his face, a smattering of spots around his eyes like a mask, and two long stripes across his cheeks.</p> | <p>Tahla’ra stands unusually tall for a Miqo’te Keeper, standing at equal height with many Midlander Hyur-folk, though this is not unheard of.

<p><b>Swift. Refined. <i>Precise.</i></b> Tahla’ra’s preference for the spear and lance is not simply a choice of weapon. It is a symbol of his personality. Unyielding, capable of power and boldness aplenty, but also occasionally stubborn and inflexible. He tends to keep his true thoughts to himself, disguising his reserved nature with polite, friendly and affable chatter, revealing his academic mind with intelligent conversation and debate on a diverse array of subjects. Despite his education and skill, however, some aspects of life continue to elude him. Romance and sex in particular are off-putting subjects to him, not-so-subtle innuendos and turn of phrase leaving him completely in the dark about their true meaning, and he has been known to grow nervous and fidgety around women of the spoken races.</p> | <p><b>Swift.

Revision as of 18:47, 22 September 2016
[edit]
Tahla’ra Molkot (Pronunciation: Ta-luh-rah), Tahla'ra's origins lie deep within the hooded boughs of the Black Shroud, like many Keepers before him. Unlike most keepers, though, he tends to prefer the vibrancy and life of the inner city, spending most of his time amongst the shops, homes and transportation systems of Gridania and Limsa Lominsa. The reason for this is that he was raised there, by parents who were not related to him on a biological level, and on a diurnal timescale so strange and alien to other Keepers. His adopted family was kind to him, and he found companionship amongst those youths near the woodland city who, like him, aspired to join the Woodwailers in their defense of the forest. Unfortunately for Tahla, those around him were incapable of knowing he bore no connection to the poachers and hunters of his race that lived deep in the Shroud, and was often the subject of racial prejudice and scorn, to the point of being physically accosted on more than one occasion when members of the Woodwailers themselves turned a blind eye. He is confirmed to have spent several years in the mountains of Coerthas, though refuses to make substantial comment on his activities during this period. Finding a warmer welcome amongst the harbors of Limsa Lominsa- where strength and skill is respected far more than blood-ties alone, he volunteered for service with the Maelstrom, and ascended to the rank of Chief Storm Sergeant by the time of his twenty-fourth name day. Under mysterious circumstances, he suddenly left the Maelstrom to seek adventurer’s work, though his current posting - the 81st Foreign Levy- has still left him tied to the organization in some respects.
Tahla’ra stands unusually tall for a Miqo’te Keeper, standing at equal height with many Midlander Hyur-folk, though this is not unheard of. His body is supremely athletic and thoroughly muscled, but also scarred and pitted from a life of battle. Several prominent marks run along his back, stretching from shoulder to hip, indicative of an attack from a large animal of some sort. His hair is neatly shorn, though he laments the bangs that refuse to cooperate with the rest. His eyes and the streaks through his hair are a deep, pure blue. Like many Miqo’te from the forests, he bears several tattoos upon his face, a smattering of spots around his eyes like a mask, and two long stripes across his cheeks.
Swift. Refined. Precise. Tahla’ra’s preference for the spear and lance is not simply a choice of weapon. It is a symbol of his personality. Unyielding, capable of power and boldness aplenty, but also occasionally stubborn and inflexible. He tends to keep his true thoughts to himself, disguising his reserved nature with polite, friendly and affable chatter, revealing his academic mind with intelligent conversation and debate on a diverse array of subjects. Despite his education and skill, however, some aspects of life continue to elude him. Romance and sex in particular are off-putting subjects to him, not-so-subtle innuendos and turn of phrase leaving him completely in the dark about their true meaning, and he has been known to grow nervous and fidgety around women of the spoken races.
This is a list of the items that CHARACTER currently is keeping on THEIR person. Feel free to use this information if it comes up logically in the course of RP, such as pickpocketing, a search, etc. Last Updated: 9/22/2016
Voice Claim: Ewan McGregor.
First learning to wield the lance out of a desire to emulate- and then outdo- the Woodwailers, he has been equipped with one nearly all his life. His combat style is a blend of traditional lance work- fighting in a shield formation, aiming towards weak points in an enemy’s defenses, attacking from chocoback during a charge, etc- and staff fighting, often twirling the weapon in a complex series of twists and arcs to both confuse and concuss an opponent with the haft, or delivery slashing damage dependent upon his particular choice of polearm at the time.
Here is a list of recent and/or notable fights, roleplay scenes, etc. that CHARACTER has been a part of. This list is by no means all inclusive, and serves more as a general reference as to what HE/SHE has been up to.
Tahla’ra’s time with the 81st Foreign Levy has not been lengthy at all, though it has certainly been eventful. Participating in several social events and minor skirmishes, he has managed to avoid serious injury, and performed his duties competently. Making friends among the 81st seems to have gone well for him, becoming acquainted with The Captain, the Lieutenants, some of the medical staff and a few members of the group’s resident stealth-operations team. No events that are significant to him personally have taken place during his time amongst the Levy, though he has begun to show signs of irritability and restlessness.
These are mostly backstory-related relationships.

ROLEPLAY HOOKS
Tahla’ra’s travels have led him all across Eorzea, from the spires of Ishgard to the lowlands of Ul’dah. His service among multiple units across two cities leaves quite a lot of ways available to approach him.
- Skills: Tahla is an accomplished lancer and duelist. Expressing interest in a friendly- or not so friendly- fight is a sure way to catch his attention .
- Grand Company: Tahla achieved a fairly prominent rank in the Maelstrom. It’s not impossible that his name stretched to the ears of more people than he thought.
- Culture Shock:Forest Miqo’te have often shunned Tahla for his ‘clanless ways’ and ‘unnatural color’ as a result of his diurnal way of living and lack of tribal exposure. A disgruntled forest dweller may just make such dislike apparent in all manner of ways.
ABOUT THE PLAYER
My name is Quinn, and I’m a creative writing student about to head back to school full time. I’m in my lower twenty-somethings, and interested in fantasy, sci-fi, military, romance, slice-of-life RPs in my spare time, and my hobbies include writing, reading, attempting to accurately measure ‘Valve Time’ and generally mucking about in banana and crab suits.
I have a life away from the keyboard. I am often on for several hours at a time, but I often need to be away from the game for just as long at certain points. Whether that’s to attend a meeting, do chores and errands, take care of my pets or simply take a lazy-day, please respect my time and energy levels. If I like you, I’m probably going to go out of my way to make time to RP with you anyway.

GUIDELINES
Overall, I'm pretty chill as far as guidelines go. I don't have an extensive list of 'Do's or 'Don't's or things that I personally find triggering. So chances are, you won't offend me or make me uncomfortable unless you're trying to or just being really skeevy in general. Still, for the sake of making sure everyone's on the same page here, let me make a few mentions in particular:
Perform blatantly sexual acts with you in public. Out of respect for the people around me, I simply won’t engage in pornographic writing in any way that might be considered unacceptably lewd. I will flirt- should it be in character to do so- perhaps even engage in a kiss or two, but little else.
Break the lore to suit your headcanon.Interpretation is all fine and good, but I’m not going to pretend that parts of established canon do or don’t exist where it’s inappropriate. FFXIV presents us with a rich mythology and setting, and I prefer exploring it in such a way that my characters could conceivably be a real, living, breathing part of the world around them.
Share IRL contact information, or allow OOC and IC to mix. It just doesn’t work. Don’t do it.

Fade to black with you. Should it be IC-appropriate, I am not opposed to two characters being intimate with one another in a fade-to-black scenario. Romance is a key part of Final Fantasy storytelling, and it can produce some beautiful writing when done skillfully and tastefully.
Do my best to get back to you if you try to message me while I’m away. Can’t leave an IM? Drop me a letter in the in-game mailbox.
Be your friend. I’m not interested in a long series of one-shots for the most part. I’d rather get to know you as a player, and produce multiple high-quality interactions with your characters. OOC/IC split rules apply, as well as dumping a lot of TMI onto the OOC aspects of a scene.
