And though he was put in a difficult position, the working-class I'whase Tia tried his best to raise his child as best he could, in the small one bedroom apartment they shared in the slums of Ul’dah. He gave them a Keeper name, so they would have at least some piece of their heritage. From a young age, Ihla loved numbers. They counted everything they could, from people walking by to the gil I’whase brought home. He could not, however, afford to send them for formal education, so he taught them what he could, being an architect’s assistant and a man generally good with money. And so Ihla’s obsession turned from counting to measuring. Angle, degree, circumference, diameter, radius - they became their new language, a code all their own. And then, one day, at 19 years old, there was magic. Accidental, but there. Ihla was idly scrawling geometric patterns with one hand and drawing them in the air with the other when, much to the shock of both them and their father, the geometric shapes Ihla drew in the air took form, sparkled, and caused a bit of static before dissipating. It was then that I’whase knew that he was in over his head and contacted the Arcanist’s Guild in Limsa Lominsa. With the savings he had, he bought Ihla their first grimoire, passage to the island city-state, and a bit left over to pay for as much further education as they could make it stretch. For Ihla, it was the first time that they made the connection between maths and tangible results. Experimentation meant critical success - or critical failure. Either way, the results could be explosive, and they couldn’t get enough. But their peers at the Guild, most of whom had been brought in on money and not merit, shunned and scoffed the half breed, preferring to stick to traditional ways of the Arcanist path. Not Ihla. Ihla knew there was something more than what the textbooks said. And now, at 22 years old, they set out into Eorzea to find more truths of the inner workings of the universe. Easily Heard The worst kept gossip Hard to Hear Unless you know someone who knows someone... PC Rumors Has a great singing voice. Bites people when angry. Still mostly illiterate. “Hears” equations as music. ((There are no rumors here yet. Feel free to add one!)) You may have heard of them/know them if you have frequented: Moraby Drydocks Ihla is facinated by all things archetecture or archetecture-adjacent, and thus they spent a lot of time wandering the shipyards (where they were permitted, that is). "The geometry of ships is not entirely unlike that of buildings, just suited for different purposes," Ihla told a friend once, after being asked why they travelled to the Drydocks on free days. They became enough of a local staple that laborers would stop to chat or watch them sketch the ship frameworks. The Arcanist's Guild Ihla studied at the Guild for three years before dropping out due to intense peer pressure. They were known as "the puzzle in the corner" due to their reclusive nature and tendency to twist themselves into a pretzel while sitting in chairs. The first year, they sat in the front of every class, constantly asking questions and taking notes, much to the delight of their instructors and the irritation of their classmates. After the first year, they had been heckled enough that they no longer participated much in class except for the bare minimum. Two years of that and they'd had enough. I follow a Green/Yellow/Red system of what I will and will not roleplay. Green is fine, Yellow is “ask first,” and Red is “don’t even ask.” Green Slice of life Road trips Long adventures Light combat Exploration Mild temporary injuries/illness Yellow Moderate combat Light romance Major temporary injuries/illness Mild permanent injury/illness Some kinds of dark themes (please specify) Red Character death Rape Torture Heavy romance ERP Heavy blood/gore Major permanent injury/illness Mind control In general, if Green or Yellow, I’m perfectly willing to discuss things. If you attempt to get me to do anything Red, I will block you, no questions. Link 1 Link 2 User:Nimh who created this template Simple page template Credit 3
