Sana Zhwan
|
[edit]
Sana Zhwan, a mid-aged Keeper, left her home in the Southern area of the Black Shroud one day seeking training and knowledge in the arts of Thaumaturgy. She was a frequent sight in Thaumaturgist guild for a few months doing menial tasks, but never seen in any classes. Whenever she isn't traveling about her nose is stuck in a book of theory or spells related to the Thaumaturgical arts and aether. On occasion she can be found in the company of her younger brother and sister.
Sana has dark colored hair and skin that, either through a rare mutation or recessive genetic trait, has a bluish coloring reminiscent to the late or early morning twilight hours. Her hair falls about shoulder length in both the front and back with light colored highlights illuminating her face. She normally carries herself proudly and confidently wherever she goes that can give off a haughty feeling to people meeting her the first time. She dresses highly conservatively showing off as little skin as possible even at places where more revealing clothing would be common. Those near to her, or passing, would smell scents similar to the woodlands of the Black Shroud, a scent she seeks to emulate ever since she left home. If she can be seen without clothing covering her back there is a long and wide burn scar from her left shoulder down to her right hip.
Tenacious, Persevering, Mothering, Protective. Practical. To everyone, including her siblings, Sana often comes off as anywhere from distant to highly abrasive. Her dealings with others are often focused to a practical reason or business, and never of a casual or fun nature. She has little tolerance for what she feels is ignorance, especially when dealing with males. The one bright spot is in finding others in magical studies she often becomes more engaged and talkative hoping to learn more to the point of ignoring anything and anyone else around her. She is fiercely protective of her family, though she may bemoan their presence, even admitting that her taking up Thaumaturgy is for their protection.
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: 01/25/16
None Currently
Being a student of Thaumaturgy, her weapons are in what spells she can cast. She wears robes common to other mages with varying accessories as the situation may dictate.
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.
Born and raised in the Black Shroud, Sana grew up knowing a peaceful life that was only put upon by the inclusion of her twin brother, and later by other brothers and a sister. As the eldest she was trained to hunt with her mother and often tasked with responsibilities to help that she constantly neglected, or pressed her twin into doing, to run about the forest and ply herself against its dangers, or play with the other children of nearby tribes and families only returning home as the sun was rising. As far as she could see, the night was for fun and living. The others could take care of themselves. Though, as with all in Eorzea, their lives were thrown into chaos when Dalmud was brought down from the sky. They watched with nervous anticipation hoping that the Grand Companies would succeed in saving them before destruction tore their lives asunder. Unfortunately, none had foreseen the return of the Elder Primal, Bahamut. As he broke free he scattered fiery pieces of his prison across the land. As the first fragments tore into the forest Sana and her family fled for their lives towards caverns in the hills that would offer better protection. Separated from her family during the chaos with her brother, Erah'a, she arrived at the caves alone, in shock, small superficial wounds bleeding in places and with a massive burn across her back. After she recovered she refused to speak about what happened to her family, and still to this day has never disclosed the truth except to tell their mother he died. While the smaller wounds faded, the large burn scar across her back remained a reminder of the night. She developed a modesty in public to hide the scar to avoid questions. In time, she became numb to the physical scar as emotional scars set into place but the modesty remained. Burned to ashes was the former carefree girl. What grew in its place was a protective sister who went to pains to keep her family out of danger, scolding each child often for their foolishness. In time, hearing more from others about what had happened at Cartineau she learned of the schools of magic that were wielded with the Grand Companies. Combined with her fierce desire to protect her family a fire sparked within her to learn whatever was necessary to prevent such a thing as Bahamut from destroying their lives again. Brought to a head by the growing annoyance of her mother to start her own family Sana finally left her home behind to seek the training she felt she needs for her loved ones.
Sana headed straight to Ul'dah to enroll in the Thaumaturgist's guild. She worked there while studying for some time, but quickly found employ with an alchemist and Thaumaturgist by the name of Alexa Rose. She received some training through Alexa that helped to break past a block she had channeling nothing but the smallest of aether to light candles and cool drinks, in the process she almost killed herself channeling all her personal aether into a single uncontrolled spell. After that event she continued to study and train in a more careful manner, but her studies were hindered by Alexa's absence and then disappearance. Recently, Sana began searching for other teachers or sources of Thaumaturgical knowledge leading her to the Ivory Tower in Limsa Lominsa. She seems to have found a place to carry forward her studies leading her closer to her goal, but at what cost?
These are mostly backstory-related relationships.

Sana is about mostly in the evening/night hours as a Keeper. She tends toward places of learning unless she is with her brother and/or sister who are played in-game by friends.
Sana is a character and as such she is played in a way that does not represent the person behind it. I may find what a character is doing very interesting, fun, cool, etc but Sana may not. If you have a hard time handling the way RP goes OOC please say so sooner than later, or go away carrying a grudge for the person. I have years of experience as a RPer in many mediums. You will not upset me by talking rather than getting your feelings hurt. This does not mean I will break Sana's personality for you, but we can have an OOC talk to smooth out any rough feelings.
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:
