General Information

Born as J'baste Ava on the 13th Day of the 4th Astral Moon, Chee is a Miqo'te Seeker of the Sun woman. She grew up happy and well-adjusted in an off-shoot of Tribe Jackal as the youngest of four half-siblings, before setting out on her own to Ul'dah with nothing but the clothes on her back, a short sword at her side, and a new name. Upon leaving home, Chee has since then become one of the many Adventurers in Eorzea, as well as a skilled craftswoman by trade.

Chee is a sweet woman, appearing to be either very shy or very aloof, and is often seen in the company of her beloved cat, Mercedes. She can usually be seen in Ul'dah, having an affinity for the city. She is also frequently seen in the Dravanian Highlands, Lavender Beds, and occasionally Limsa Lominsa. She is rarely seen in Gridania.

Chee is affiliated with the Free Company SoyMilk Prophecies, and currently resides in the Lavender Beds. At heart, she will always consider Ul'dah to be her real home.

Appearance

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

Height: 5 Fulm, 1 Ilm - Chee is an average height for a Miqote woman, neither too tall or too short. She is considered petite to the other races.

Weight: Approximately 117 Ponz - Most of Chee's weight comes from a toned, athletic build, or soft curves.

Body: Chee is petite with a toned athletic build. She possess dexterous hands and strong legs. Her curves, breasts and hips are soft and full. She has faded scars up and down her right arm, criss-crossing her thighs, and there is an old, faded gash below the left side of her ribs. There is a recent scar from the top of her right shoulder, going across her collarbone, above her breasts. Her most noticeable feature is, however, her very long and unusually fluffy tail. The tail is very expressive, having plush, silky fur, and often appears to have a mind of its own. The tail will betray her mood, and is often a source of entertainment for naughty children.

Complexion: Fairly atypical tanned skin for a Seeker, made more so by time spent out in the sun or on adventures. Her skin-tone is considered fair by Seeker standards.

Face: Round with a softly-tapered chin and full lips. She has dark blue tribal tattoos on her cheeks bones and dark brown facial markings on her forehead. Her brows are thick, and there are faded scars across her cheeks and the bridge of her nose. Her eyes are a vibrant mid-tone blue, and have been commented on to be quite striking, as well as having a certain kindness to them.

Hair: Brunette with dark blonde streaks, her hair was long and tousled, often falling over one shoulder and messy bangs covering parts of her face. Now cut short.

Fashion: When not clad in armored plate and chain mail, Chee is often seen wearing verifying hues of blues, reds or blacks. She prefers cloth or leather over anything else, and it's not unusual to see her dressed in a way that flatters her figure. She prefers simple gold jewelry over anything flashy, and she is at her most self-conscious in "flimsy mage's robes", or scantily-clad. She prefers attire that's more modest.

Personality

Introverted and reserved, Chee is a quiet woman, often preferring to keep to herself. This can give one of two impressions to an outsider: a very shy or very aloof woman. While she can be friendly, it takes her some time to open up to another person. She tends to fall into old “shrinking violet” habits during social events, or near people she doesn’t know. She is soft-spoken, with a proper, almost formal speaking pattern, often choosing her words carefully.

Chee is a very warm, loving and loyal individual. There is an intelligence as well as a gentleness from her, and a wry sense of humor. However, her confidence is mixed at best. She often doubts herself to the point of self-degradation, and puts the needs of others above her own, leading to exhaustion, depression or anxiety. She constantly wonders if she's "good enough" for anyone or anything.

Chee has a sharply defined sense of justice, as well as a deeply-held personal creed: that all have the right to lay claim to lives as their own. Justice-oriented, she is observant and compassionate, having barely any judgment for others, and trusts deeply. Another personal creed of hers is acceptance: “Such is the way of things”. She can be accepting of things that have occurred, things as they are now, and things that are yet to come.

Chee can often remember details or traits about another person, and will try to bring out the best in someone if they were so inclined. It is these traits by which others are drawn to her… That, or maybe it's the cute little kitty that follows her everywhere.

Chee deeply reveres Azeyma the Warden, having a strong sense of faith and trust in the Goddess. As such, she frequently invokes the Warden in prayer, passing or even simply as a blessing for a stranger, friend or loved one.

Abilities and Skills

Error creating thumbnail: File missing

In combat, Chee prefers clean, precise strikes with a lot of power behind them, as opposed to being a flurry of motion and aggression. This is especially apparent when she is wielding a spear, being very defensive and very precise in combat. She prefers being at the front-lines in battle, using her agility and skill to put in a lot of force behind her blows. Chee is often seen carrying an old, shining blue spear, elegant and deadly. The weapon itself is more akin to a relic than anything else, and rarely leaves Chee's side. The weapon serves as something of a security blanket for her, and she is most comfortable wielding it, being at her most deadly with a spear in her hands.

Chee occasionally takes arms as a Free Paladin, and this where she is most trained, as well as being most aggressive. As a Paladin, just like being a "free" Dragoon, Chee prefers precise, powerful blows. However, she is aggressive and almost reckless with a sword and shield in hand, using her strength and training to become a commanding presence, and she is often wild: breaking bones, goring slashes, and battering foes with her shield.

Chee has only recently taken on the study of magic, particularly Arcanima and the arts of Summoning. She's… average, at best, and ultimately prefers a spear or a sword as opposed to a grimoire. She's dabbled in other forms of magic, such as Conjury and Thaumaturgey, with little other success.

Chee is a proficient, "jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none" craftswoman, though she has an interest and specialty in goldsmithing. This is mainly due to her own fondness for interesting and shiny trinkets. In addition, she also is a "jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none" Disciple of the Land, more aligned towards mining and botany. Fishing is terribly boring for her, and she often falls asleep while doing so.

History/Background

Pre-Calamity

Early Life

Show text

Chee was born as J'baste Ava in the Sagoli Desert on the 13th Sun of the 4th Astral Moon, to a smaller off-shoot tribe of Tribe Jackal. This tribe was a more peaceful tribe, more akin to a loosely-connected network of small villages and settlements, and was populated mainly by artisans and Disciples of the Hand and Disciples of the Land. Art, crafting, trade, scholarly pursuits and other such trades were commonly practiced and encouraged. This tribe made their vocations by trading hand-crafted goods to traveling merchants or other Seeker tribes in the Sagoli, some of which traveling all the way to Ul'dah.

J'baste's early life was a peaceful one. She had a happy childhood, growing up well-adjusted and loved to a Seeker Nunh and a Keeper Mother, as well as three older half-brothers. One day, a Roegadyn Sea Wolf woman appeared from the desert – Reisz. An old adventuring friend of her father's, J'baste immediately took to the Roegadyn, hero-worshipping and idolizing her. In turn, Reisz was charmed by and befriended the girl, serving as life-long friend and mentor. Reisz encouraged J'baste's curiosity and dreams of becoming an adventurer, forging her own path and seeing the world for what it was.

Dalamud's Fall: The Calamity

Show text

J'baste's peaceful life continued well into her teens, taking on a keener interest in travel and adventuring, much to her father's dismay. In a well-intentioned effort to protect his daughter, her father demanded that J'baste stay home in the tribe, and take on a trade as a craftswoman. While she did indeed have an interest and talent for crafting, J'baste wanted to do so on her own terms. As such, she frequently clashed with her family, developing an anxiety and depression: would she ever be good enough? During this time, Reisz was killed in an accident, and J'baste then decided to become an adventurer, as a way to honor her late mentor.

One night, during a fierce argument, J'baste was disowned by her father and brothers, and ran away from home. Shortly thereafter, Dalamud fell, and the Calamity struck. While blessedly surviving the chaos and destruction, there were many scars, and she found herself on a waking up in a merchant's cart, bound for escape.

Interim

Show text

Immediately following the Calamity, J'baste, now a nameless transient spent the next five years wandering aimlessly across the realm. It was here she learned to be accepting of others, as well as the fate granted to her, and of a possibility of being increasingly lonely. Her family and home was assumed dead and destroyed, or otherwise estranged. It was during this time J'baste's depression, anxiety and her acceptance of being increasingly alone further developed.

During this time, J'baste had come into contact with a noblewoman named Ishtari Jinjahl. Glamourous, wealthy and beautiful, J'baste admired the Keeper woman as a second mentor and even a mother figure, and Ishtari took the girl under her wing and under her employ, having the young and vulnerable J'baste gather rare antiquities from obscure locations. As far as the girl was concerned, J'baste was finally a proper adventurer, seeing the world, meeting new people and having exciting adventures discovering rare and unusual artifacts. Ishtari herself treated J'baste to an education, encouraging her renewed interest in crafting, and keeping journals.

But then J'baste began having strange nightmares, and feeling of dread. Curious, she snuck into Ishtari's office one night and discovered the horrific truth. In addition to be an extraordinarily wealth heiress and head of a mercantile and shipping company, Ishtari was also the queen of a vast criminal syndicate: black market trade, drug trafficking, information brokering, and slave trade. The woman she admired and loved as a mentor and second mother figure was a monster, and J'baste herself in was danger. In desperation, J'baste gathered as much evidence as she could, making meticulous copies of every document she could find, before submission to the any authority she could think of, including the Grand Companies of Eorzea. J'baste went into hiding, and hasn't heard from Ishtari ever since.

Post Calamity/Recent History

A Realm Reborn

Show text

At the age of 21, J'baste, now taking on the name of Chee, came to Ul'dah with little more than the clothes on her back and an old short sword at her side. From there, she trained for a time at the Gladiator's Guild, quickly rising through the ranks as a Free Paladin. It was during this time that she discovered she had the rare gift and curse of the Echo. Stubbornly refusing the call, Chee went on to take the study and mastery of becoming a craftswoman and adventurer. She eventually took up arms with the spear instead, finding the art of the Lancer much more to her liking. Over time, Chee made a comfortable life for herself as both an adventurer and craftswoman, and was content. During this time, she met and fell into the deep friendship and close company of a Hyur Midlander named Arthur Dragmire and an Elezen Wildwood named Destiney Delvanguard. The trio became close friends and the surrogate family Chee craved, traveling and sharing many adventures together. They styled themselves as "The Outsiders".

Following the exile of the fabled Warrior of Light, the disappearance of the Scions and the assassination of the Sultana at the hands of the Syndicate, Chee found herself part of various raiding expedition parities, undergoing dangerous raids and missions into the heart of ancient Allagan ruins.

Heavensward

Great change has come. Ishgard opened its gates to Adventurers, and Chee was one of the first to make the pilgrimage into the Holy See, as well as travel deep into Dravania. Once more, she found herself going into raiding expeditions, becoming increasingly isolated, alienated and exhausted. During this time, the Warrior of Light was redeemed, Ul'dah made strong once again, and Ishgard joined the Eorzean Alliance, vowing an end to the Dragonsong War.

As Goes Light, So Goes Darkness

Show text

With Ishgard and the rest of the Eorzean alliance undergoing a great change, Chee continues her trade as a craftswoman and her travels as an adventurer. Much to her joy, she found love in the form of a Keeper male named Lofen Melocuil. Chee had made a happy life for herself, and can now share in it with a man she fell deeply in love with. All seemed well.

As of recently, however, the young woman is having dreams of a strange being trapped in Allagan Technology: the First of the Warring Triad. She, like many other raiding parties in Dravania, once more feel the pull of the Echo. In an attempt to protect the man she loved, Chee tried to end things with Lofen. However, his faith and love for her, as well as the advice of her dear friend Luth convinced Chee otherwise, and the couple vowed once more to stay together, come what may.

Gears of Change (Present Day)

Show text

While the fabled Warrior of Light and the new Leadership of Ishagard attempted to broker peace with dragonkind and usher forth the end of a millenia-long war, Chee had been busy, enjoying her peaceful life and the love and companionship of Lofen Melocuil. The pair had made the decision to move in together, taking on a new phase of their relationship. Chee was the happiest she had ever known then. This was the man she could easily see herself spending the rest of her life with, sharing and building one together. Lofen could heal from his old scars, and the pair began to see themselves as possibly being Bonded. Life was good.

But a storm was coming. Shortly after visiting her friend Elza and the opening of the girl's new clinic, Elza was kidnapped by a Hyur Midlander named Gekile Longstride. Chee was the first to answer the call for help, and rushed to Elza's aid. While she fought valiantly, she was injured and could no longer give chase, calling for the aid of her friends Luth Ivywood and the Crimson Knight to assist a Delmina Andurin and her allies in the rescue. Over time, Del revealed long the complicated history between herself and Gekile, involving Garlean sedition, the judgement call between the good of the many versus the good of the few, as well as many personal scars and hurts. Delmina was a woman whose very life was awash with tragedy: a fact Chee felt great empathy for. Gekile's very presence shook Chee to her core, forcing her to recover from her injuries and allow for Lofen to fight in her stead, in his own way.

Upon recovery, Chee then enlisted the aid of her friend Arthyr Caden, a Miqo'te Seeker of teh Sun with a long, checkered past of sorrow and bloodshed. The two became close friends. In the final, bloody confrontation with Gekile Longstride, Arthyr took the killing blow, and Delmina burned the corpse. The trio gave pause to the man who was so warped by his pain and bitterness, but were relieved to finally be able to return to a peaceful life.

All was not to be, however. Lofen had the idea of training as a Dark Knight, while both he and Chee had initial success, he raged, the pair dueling each other. Upon breaking out of his rage, Lofen, in horror, decided to stop his training. The first crack. During this time, Chee and Arthyr continued their deepening friendship, and she witnessed first hand his own journey into the dark as a Dark Knight. Arthyr had recently confessed his love for Chee, and a desire to be her lover. The friendship was strained when she turned him down, and only the arrival of a man known as Semuko Ariadu and her warning of the man's murderous intentions allowed for the two to reconcile. Tragically, Chee's warning was for naught, and Arthyr Caden is dead.

Finally, the ultimate betrayal. Lofen revealed he had slept with Delmina Andurin during the Gekile Incident, as well as a woman named Shin Nelhah. While initially trying repair their bond, with Lofen doing much soul-searching, focusing on his work and reconnecting with old friends, Chee turned inward, increasingly isolated, confused and hurt. All of her repressed hurt, anger, pain, sorrow, as well as her self-loathing, guilt and fear manifested as a Dark Knight's Soulstone, and Chee went into the Dark, blacking out. When she came to, she had realized she raged, attacking Lofen and an innocent girl he was trying to help named Kiera. The pair realized there was more beneath the surface, and one heated evening, Chee unleashed all of her fury, her sorrow, her hurt and rage at his betrayal of everything they had built as lovers.

It is unclear, if Chee and Lofen will ever be as they once were. It remains to be seen on what will occur for Chee in the given future...

If you would like to be added, feel free to let me know in-game or over RPC. :D

♥ Romantic Interest    ♥ Sexual Desire    ♥ Platonic Love     ● Good Standing    ● Neutral Standing    ● Poor Standing

Positive Relations ● ♥ Lofen Melocuil - A Keeper of the Moon. Chee met Lofen at a social gathering in the Goblet, and the pair quickly built up a mutual rapport – as well as a mutual attraction. Over time, Chee fell in love with him, drawn to him for his kindness, charm, and his willingness to remain hopeful, loving and faithful even in the face of great pain. They are each other's first real love, sharing a new level of trust, affection and intimacy. Given Lofen's history of abuse and horror at the hands of slavers, Chee is a soothing presence in his life, granting support and strength when needed, as well a deep love. She frequently calls him by the pet name of "Charmer". Recently, Lofen had revealed to Chee he had slept with both Delmina Andurin and a woman named Shin Nelhah during a time of crisis. A fact he feels great remorse and guilt for, and the bond between the lovers is strained. The pair are currently trying to resolve their problems. ● ♥ Destiney Delvanguard – An Elezen Wildwood. One of Chee's oldest, dearest friends. The pair have known each other for several years and are frequently seen having adventures together. Mischievous, playful and warm, Destiney is akin to an older sister to Chee. They often play or tease each other, happily discuss more feminine things, are mutually supportive, trusting and otherwise. More often than not, where Chee is, Destiney will be, and vice versa. ● ♥ Luth ivywood - A Seeker of the Sun. The two met in a previous Free Company, and came to work together well due to compatible temperaments as well as a fondness for good cooking. Warm, loyal and friendly, Luth is a good-natured and out-going woman and one of Chee's dearest friends. Akin to a dear sister and close confidant, Chee gives Luth her complete trust and confidence in many things, as well enjoying her friend's company, warmth, good-humor, and playful encouragement. ● Ingrid Lachance – A Highlander Hyur woman, and long-time friend of Luth Ivywood. Rough, tough, boisterous, and good-natured, both Ingrid and Chee had campaigned together during raiding expeditions into the Alexander Colossus in the Dravanian Hinterlands. They have also traveled together on many occasion, usually in the company of Luth, and forged an easy bond. The two women have recently begun to get to know each other better outside of raiding expeditions and shared adventures, and get along well. ● Arthyr Caden – A Wildwood Elezen, once a Seeker of the Sun. Deceased. Playful, a flirt and a womanizer, Chee and Arthyr make an odd pair. While initially meeting him as a friend of a friend, the two became close, akin to a brother and sister duo, as well as drinking buddies swapping increasingly hilarious and raunchy stories. While his flirting habits annoy her, Chee nonetheless find him to be an honest and good friend, placing her trust and faith in the man she happily calls "brother." However, Arthyr came to fall in love with Chee over time, and professed his feelings. This caused a rift between the two. Fortunately, the two were able to reconcile, deciding to remain friends. Tragically, Chee recently received news that her dear friend was murdered, and she mourns the loss of her friend, confidant and brother-by-bond... ● Elza Fairhan - A Keeper of the Moon. Following an unfortunate incident involving a stolen kiss at a Starlight Gathering, Elza initially appeared to be a rival for Lofen’s affections, and their first meeting as awkward at best, with the flaring of knee-jerk jealousy. A chance meeting at Camp Bronze Lake, however, allowed the two women to reconcile, share stories and even begin the making of a friendship. The two women also share a similar temperament, and a mutual admiration. As such, Chee would happily call Elza a friend. ● Y'raos Tia - A Seeker of the Sun Chee met at the Quicksand. The two struck an easy friendship through some friendly idle conversation. While gruff, Chee was drawn to him regardless due to his loyalty to his sister, his blunt honesty, as well as good-humor and kindness. If anything, he reminds her of her older brothers. The pair can be seen conversing on occasion, while Y’raos is on “door-guarding” duty. ● Oja Dakwhil – A Keeper of the Moon. This girl was a newcomer to Ul'dah, and was sighted in the company of her friend Y'Raos. After some initial misunderstanding and hesitance on the Keeper's part, Chee and Oja quickly formed a mutual rapport, and an almost sisterly bond was made. The enthusiastic and good-natured Oja is quite smitten with Y'Raos, much to Chee's amusement. ● Ophelia Blanche – A Raen Au Ra. Ophelia is a mutual friend of Arthyr and Chee's. She offered to help Chee during a time of crisis, offering magical support and consult, as well as her own unusual abilities of "bardic dance". Chee was left with a good impression of Ophelia, due to the girl's compassion and character. ● Cy'xanne Tora - A Seeker of the Sun Nuhn. An acquaintance. Cy'xanne and Chee met at the Quicksand, thanks to the presence of Chee's ever-loyal cat. The two quickly fell into an easy rapport, sharing tea and conversation. Cy'xanne offered Chee some helpful advice, and the two became fast friends. She has only seen him incidentally on occasion, but would like to share tea again.

Negative Relations ● Gekile Longstride - Deceased. A Midlander Hyur of whom Chee sensed was trouble. Her gut instinct was right, as the man kidnapped her friend Elza, and Chee fiercely challenged him in an attempted rescue. After a brief and closely-matched duel, Chee was injured, Gekile fled, and the rest of Elza's friends had to continue their rescue attempt without her. She hates the man, for not only wounding her pride and body, but also kidnapping a dear friend, frightening the man she loved with his threats and tormenting a woman she had come to befriend and respect through the course of her life. New information revealed that both he and Delmina had a long, difficult and tragic history, that would only end in the loss of life. Gekile Longstride eventually met his end with the combined efforts of Chee and Arthyr, in a final, bloody confrontation. ● Delmina Andurin - A Midlander Hyur woman. They met briefly at a Starlight Gathering, and met again during a crisis. Over time, the two women would get to each other better, developing a strong mutual bond and sense of respect upon working together. Delmina left a positive impression on Chee, being honest and capable. The midlander woman had a long, hard and checkered past rife with tragedy and shades of grey, a fact by which Chee feels empathy for. At one point in time, Chee once called this woman "sister", looking up to her, respecting her and admiring her. But now... The revelation that Delmina and Lofen betrayed Chee's trust by committing infidelity led to heated confrontation between the women, and Chee angrily condemned Delmina, cutting off any ties of friendship. ● ● Shin Nelhah - A Miqo'te Keeper of the Moon and toxicologist. The two women only met briefly in passing, and Chee had assumed she was a friend of Lofen's. This was indeed the case. It was also the case that Shin was one of the two women Lofen had slept with, however it was a one-off thing by which both parties feel embarrassment and regret for. While a stranger, any positive associations Chee may have had is tarnished, and the next meeting would likely turn confrontational. The last she heard, Lofen had cut ties with Shin, in an effort to restore his relationship with Chee.

Misc.

The following is a collection of OOC notes, trivia bits, RP Hooks and otherwise. :D

RP Hooks

* She almost always has her ever-loyal Coeurl Kitten, Mercedes, with her. The little kitty goes where she goes most of the time, providing a source of comfort, companionship and occasional laughter.

* Chee has an unusually long and very fluffy tail for a Seeker. Seriously, it’s stupidly fluffy.

* She has a habit of people-watching, and there’s hardly any judgment to be found in her eyes.

* Chee is a very reserved and quiet person and she tends to be a “wallflower”, even when she intends to be social.

* Chee can be seen journaling or sketching. She may also be seen tinkering with something.

* Due to her strong sense of justice and compassion, Chee may offer a listening ear, should one wish it.

* Chee is an observant person, and she may approach upon seeing an open “hook”.

What I Will RP:

* General RP

* Character/Plot-driven RP

* Romantic RP (Note: Only if characters “click” IC, and if both players mutually agree to a romance. This includes Erotic RP, and is only reserved for IC monogamous relationships. Should be noted that Chee, IC, is currently in a relationship, so she is not interested in other would-be suitors.)

* Mature Themes, see above under Romantic RP. I’m open to most things, as long as you brief me via OOC tells or otherwise before, during or after a session. If anything, I welcome mature themes.

* Slice-of-Life RP

What I will NOT RP:

* Lore-breaking. The occasional bit of lore-bending is fine, as meta, characters and stories change and grow. That being said, let's try to be as consistent to game-lore as possible.

* Death/Disablement/Maiming of my character or another. There can be injuries or fights/duels, but I draw the line at crippling injuries, disfigurements or death, unless I specifically agree before a session that such injuries or perma-death is ok. The same standard applies for rape/sexual assault.
