[edit]
Rin Chiura 知浦 (Pronunciation: chee-uu-ṙah), A girl born on the sea, and never happier than when surrounded by clear skies above and crashing waves below. And born with the desperate need to know everything. Rin is endlessly curious and exasperatingly nosy, scatterbrained but good-hearted. Just don't make her angry because she might channel that inquisitive energy into something destructive.
Tan skin, faint freckles and brown hair; she considers herself pretty plain for the most part. Look past the carefree demeanor and you might notice her eyes constantly evaluating her surroundings, taking in information and watching for patterns. Taller than her mother (to her delight and the former's anguish). She looks surprisingly sleep-deprived for someone who is constantly professing her great love for naps. Almost always seen smiling in amusement at some private joke, but lately she's been more withdrawn and pensive.
Cheerful. Perceptive. Determined. On the surface you couldn't find a more relaxed and happy-go-lucky soul, but sometimes she wonders if being constantly underestimated is starting to wear on her. When Rin has her eye on a goal, she will obsessively pursue it. More often that not, those goals hinge on ~*truth and justice*~ because if there's one thing she's inherited from her parents, it's a fierce dedication to righting wrongs and protecting the powerless. Despite this, the words "responsibility" and "commitment" terrify her. Deep down she's a budding leader, a cool head in a crisis and a calm voice on the battlefield, but the guilt and self-doubt that comes with it makes her keep up her childish, laid-back facade. Her tactical smarts come as a surprise to most, and for now she's keeping it that way. She's seen what a military life has done to people she loves.
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: DATE.

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.
These are mostly backstory-related relationships.
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... DATE. * An asterisks denotes that CHARACTER doesn't know the individual's true name.
◢ Common Rumors - Easily overheard. Use these freely!
◢ Uncommon Rumors - A little more difficult to hear. Use sparingly or ask first!
◢ Rare Rumors - Very rarely overheard. Please ask before using!
◢ Player Character Rumors - Feel free to add rumors of your own!
You are not permitted to re-use this artwork for your own characters or purposes, whether on Final Fantasy XIV or on other games, forums, etc.

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:
