GENERAL INFORMATION

Sleepy Cat (Pronunciation: sleepy cat) is a young Seeker woman with a laid-back attitude and an excellent knowledge of Ul'dah and her surrounds -- from the geography and the history to the happenings throughout, both legal and questionably legal. While recent times have seen her as a bit of scarcity in the city, if you look in the right places, or perhaps ask the right people -- there she'll be, ready to help.

APPEARANCE

Her chest and arms (and indeed her whole body) is a patchwork of faint and not-so-faint scars: claw marks across her right shoulder, a gash along her right side, scratches across her neck and a stab wound over her heart stand out in the tapestry. As well, her left arm from below her elbow is a magitek construct -- vaguely humanoid, stripped down, and with no attempt made to hide its nature. Her tail is especially thick and strong, and her eyes are brilliant oranges and golds.. and rarely, one turns red. Sleepy has a very athletic physique and takes some pride in it.

PERSONALITY

Impulsive, warm and determined, Sleepy is rarely without a kind word for the kind, and a harsh word for the cruel and deceptive. A lifetime spent in service to Ul'dah and her people in various ways has given a very humanitarian colour to her, and a lifetime of her own hardships and the hardships of others has left her both uniquely caring, and more than willing to fight for what she believes is right, against who she believes is wrong. To those close to her, she is immensely loving and supportive, seeking to mend and inspire. To her enemies, however, there is very little to appreciate except for her ferocity.

LIKES

Books. Sleepy is rather well-read for an orphaned street girl, owed partly to her background as a thief. She is an amateur scholar and sometimes-conspiracy theorist.

The desert. While many see an inhospitable sandpit with a commercial center wedged somewhere in the middle, Sleepy sees something beautiful -- life prevailing underneath the oppressive heat, which she has come to have a unique handle on.

People. As introverted as she can be, there's little Sleepy enjoys more than interesting company. Or boring company. Or any company, really: she's not picky, even when she perhaps should be.

Technology. Magitek is now an unavoidable influence in Sleepy's life, owing mainly to her prosthetic -- to that end, she's gone to considerable lengths to teach herself as much as she can about it -- but there's always more to learn.

DISLIKES

The elite. Sleepy's impoverished background wasn't the only factor in her unrelenting (and sometimes unreasonable) hatred of those that have money, power, or both.

Shinobi. Sleepy tends to regard shinobi negatively, seeing them as conniving, dishonest tricksters with no clear motive, which means they could be out to hurt her, or the ones she loves. Don't ask why she's engaged to one -- everybody's got exceptions.

Men. A bit of a misandrist by trade, Sleepy's noticed a particular trend in the sorts of people she's had to deal with in her work -- and adjusts her attitude. Most won't notice anything but subtle distrust, but catboys beware.

Eft. She just doesn't, okay.

STRENGTHS

Physical conditioning. Sleepy's no slouch. Her strength and her speed are remarkable, and she can free-run and climb up many things almost effortlessly.

Determination. For that she holds dear, Sleepy can not -- will not give up.

Empathy. Sleepy holds a mysterious attunement not only with her own emotions, but those of others. She can project her own -- or draw upon others -- however, there are drawbacks.

Integrity. Sleepy's word is something she has not broken yet -- for good or ill.

WEAKNESSES

Panic. In the direst of situations, Sleepy focuses on survival -- she rarely considers any but herself, and is prone to spiraling into depression, manipulation and self-indulgence.

Impulsiveness. Sleepy has quite a few problems with speaking, or acting, before thinking.

Paranoia. Even as she reassures herself, there is always some part of her waiting for the inevitable betrayal.

Zeal. Sleepy can rarely be put off a course of action once she decides on it.

CURRENT INVENTORY

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: Yeah!.

Chiurgeon's set: Assorted surgical tools she was one proficient with -- and still is.
Tiger eye: A carven sphere of tiger's eye that resonates with her aetheric signature. She offers unattuned ones to her dearest friends.
Flashbomb: She always carries one. Always.

MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION

Face Claim: N/A

Body Claim: N/A

Voice Claim: Feminine Rick Grimes

COMBAT & WEAPONRY

With an assortment of knowledge of various combat techniques, Sleepy can adapt to a variety of situations -- and though she boasts a particular degree of mastery with a greatsword, she rarely utilizes it since the incident that cost her her left hand. She relies on her strength and pressing her advantages, as well as battlefield improvisation.

REVOLVER

A revolver given to her by Owen Winters, tailored to her size and gifted alongside various specialty munitions. She especially enjoys the ones that explode.

KATANA

Taught by Jayne in the art, Sleepy has rather come to value the two katanas she owns, keeping one as a trophy. The magitek katana she 'liberated' off of a trade ship is her personal favorite, suiting the Seeker's... well, it suits some need, else she wouldn't be so fond of it.

KARAMBITS

Sleepy doesn't speak much about her karambits -- two identical, ominous blades she generally keeps slung around her hips when she's out headhunting. She's very adamant about not letting people touch them, and only draws them herself on special occasions.

DARKFIRE

Common enough in use for Sleepy to consider it part of her arsenal, Sleepy taps into her darkside to lend an edge to her affinity with fire magics -- something even she doesn't entirely understand, but if it gets the job done.

EXPERIENCE LOG

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.

Wyra Nimh [WIN]: Spar. After a pitched fight between the two, Sleepy blasted Wyra off a cliff and into the river below -- only for her to storm back up and be pushed off once more.

FAMILY & TRIBE

These are mostly backstory-related relationships.

LIST OF FAMILY MEMBERS

UNKNOWN, mother. ( ♥❖● )
Sleepy’s Thoughts: "..."
Sleepy knows little and less about her mother - merely the name she'd bestowed on her, and the name of her father by association. She often wonders if she would be proud of the person she's become.

J'xhad Nunh, father. ( ❖🔃 )
Sleepy's Thoughts: "..."
Sleepy only knows her father's name -- nothing more. By the time she'd enough information to inquire after him to other Jackal tribe miqo'te -- she had stopped trying to search for her roots.

NON-FAMILY

Listed here are the non-family characters, both PC and NPC, that CHARACTER has interacted with enough or in such a way for HIM/HER to form a real opinion about them. Please don't take personal offense if your character isn't listed here, or how the interaction or relationship is described. It isn't that I dislike your character or our RP. I just tend to only add these as necessary for those who make a real impact on CHARACTER, and descriptions are purely based upon in character experiences and opinions!

Last Update... don't make me laugh

* An asterisks denotes that CHARACTER doesn't know the individual's true name.

LIST OF NON-FAMILY RELATIONS

Jayne Si'karh, the shinobi. ( ♥♥✔🔒 )
Sleepy’s Thoughts: "Prob'ly wouldn't be alive, it weren't for her..."

Owen Winters, the exile. ( ♥♥✔🔒 )
Sleepy’s Thoughts: "That' fuckin' cat..."
Short description of how these characters know each other goes here.

R'khena Xhati, the wildfire. ( ♥♥✔🔒 )
Sleepy’s Thoughts: "I'm sorry..."
Sleepy insists she doesn't play favorites -- but Khena has made her come the closest to recanting her words on the matter. Khena quickly became far more than the confidant she had been the night they met, quick enough to catch the once excessively flirtatious miqo'te off guard, and enough to get her to actually consider settling down and conducting her love life with some dignity and standards. She tasked herself as Khena's personal bodyguard when a threat loomed over her freedom, and in the time it offered, she grew closer still, proposed, and planned to marry her sometime after a business deployment. She only got as far as finalizing the ring before Khena was taken: something she holds herself personally responsible for, in addition to the strange and terrible fate that's befallen her in the meantime.

Shiori Sato, the artist. ( SYMBOLS GO HERE )
Sleepy’s Thoughts: "I kin'a wonder how she's even real sometimes. Don't tell 'er."
Short description of how these characters know each other goes here.

Nanna Everdrift, the kindred. ( SYMBOLS GO HERE )
CHARACTER’s Thoughts: "Few fight harder.. or hug harder. Mmn."

Wyra Nimh, the True. ( SYMBOLS GO HERE )
CHARACTER’s Thoughts: "......"
Short description of how these characters know each other goes here.

Jayley Salyt, the marketeer. ( ♥✖●🔃 )
Sleepy’s Thoughts: "...Godsdamnit."
Sleepy owes Jayley a lot -- figuratively speaking. Jayley is rightly sore about the Seeker's lack of tact, consideration for others and questionable life choices in the face of a shared personal tragedy, which stands at odds with the brazen and valuable insights she's offered Sleepy in her own quest to figure herself out. Lately she's beginning to wonder how much of it is genuine insight -- and how much of it is her looking into a mirror. It could be said of them that monsters know their kin -- something some part of her remains aware of.

ROLEPLAY HOOKS

Sleepy's had her paws in a lot of things.

BRASS BLADES/IMMORTAL FLAMES: Sleepy is an ex-Flame Sergeant. In her tenure, she constantly berated the Blades as 'sellouts' and 'mercenary fucks', and made a point to harass whatever patrols she came across, which ranged from harmless pranks to redirecting Blade patrols halfway across the Sagolii on 'important business'. Within the Flames, she is cited as a capable soldier and decent squad leader, however she had been cited for irresponsible behaviour and eventually retired from service. Both will know she was recently extradited to Ishgard on charges of multiple murders, something the Flames find divisive and the Blades don't really give a shit about. She's gone through pains to hide herself, however.
UL'DAHN CRIMINAL ELEMENTS: Sleepy was a key player in a small gang of bandits and enforcers known as the Coeurl Kissers, who primarily concerned themselves with the safety of refugees and escorts, as well as heists and thievery targetting the Ul'dahn elite. The entire group seemed to disappear overnight, and may very well have faded into obscurity, save for some who may have recognized the miqo'te helping them out: she took special interest in confronting those who took advantage of refugees. For those complete undesirables on the fringes : Sleepy recently enjoys hunting down irredeemable raiders, murderers and slavers. She is not particularly nice about it, and might be known for her brutal and detached methods.
TEMPLE KNIGHTS: As far as the Temple Knights are concerned, Sleepy.. or the 'Coerthan Wildfire' if you must, is being held 'somewhere in Ishgard' for her crimes, which include five counts of murder against the organization. It would be rather strange for one to see her out and about.
SEKISEIGUMI: Sleepy petitioned for permission to be a street performer under an alias. The Sekiseigumi are only vaguely aware of Sleepy by her looks, and would likely not recognize her at this point.

ABOUT THE PLAYER

hi im cat trick, literal cat. my hobbies include roleplaying and meticulously grooming myself

THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND...

Sleepy is spoken for. That ship has sailed. She might flirt, but that's a weakness inherent to her character and.. I have like, five ships to keep track of. That's a lot. No more, please.

Summary of thing to keep in mind. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Vestibulum viverra augue ut ex eleifend aliquet. Suspendisse eget lectus felis. Nullam varius fringilla metus, in suscipit justo consectetur a. Suspendisse placerat nunc eu vestibulum ornare. In at felis mattis, dapibus tortor ac, tempus justo.

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:

I WILL NOT...

ERP. Sexual themes with Sleepy? Sure, she's a(n extremely) sexual being. Sum it up in some emotes? Sure, I'm not gonna shy away from some tasteful amateur erotica. Spend five hours describing Sleepy committing violent tribadism (among other, wilder things)? I've got things to do, save it for someone who's got the time.

Rape plots. No.

Get her involved in another relationship. Sleepy has entangled herself in a variety of relationships, from casual, to loving and healthy, to dangerous and selfish. Not only would getting her involved in another one go against her personal creed even more, it gives me another relationship to fret over and balance with the others.

I WILL...
