[edit]
Avidia sas Iuvenlis (Pronunciation: ah-vee-deeah sass ee-oo-vehn-liss), former Garlean military, paints a striking image. As she is now residing in Eorzea the woman has learned to disguise herself, using a mixture of prosthetics and glamour magicks to hide her third eye. Anyone who meets her would see a simple hyur rather than a pure-blooded Garlean, albeit one with very light hair and eyes. She is most commonly found at The Imaginarium, a school run by the mysterious Fabius Dandy. Cold and mysterious, she is most often seen on her own, though sometimes you can see her accompanied by a tall Au Ra, a slender Hyur, or a mangy Miqo'te.
Avidia stands at roughly 5 fulm, 5 ilm. Her body has been hardened through an entire lifetime of combat and training, forming her muscles into iron chords beneath her skin. Her face is elegant and soft, with high, regal cheekbones, a narrow chin, and soft rosebud lips. Her eyes are large and angular, grey orbs that are devoid of any color. Her third eye rests neatly in the middle of her forehead but she covers it up with a simple prosthetic to poise as Eorzean. Everything about her is lightly colored: her skin, her hair, her eyes. She's pale and has platinum blonde hair that borders on white, with slightly darker roots and a few darker streaks that run through it. Her hair itself is short, barely brushing her shoulders, but it's feathered and soft, parting neatly down the middle to frame the sides of her face. In contrast with her light, soft looks Avidia always wears a cold expression of either disinterest or crankiness. Her body is also marred with scars, and many of them. The most noticeable one is the thin one that runs across the bridge of her nose, but it's nowhere near the worst. The worst is on her back, more often than not covered by her clothes: It's huge, spanning over both sides of her back and shoulders, the byproduct of brutal torture and whippings. People have said they resemble wings. There's also the faintest scar around her neck, like noose markings, but that is BARELY noticeable, even if you're trying to see it. Avidia is most comfortable in clothes she can fight in. While in the past she wore uniforms and armor, since arriving in Eorzea she has found she has more of a taste for lighter armor as it lets her move easilier. Her armor of choice consists of grey boiled leather and chainmail. While she's not fighting she can be seen in loose coats and revealing shirts. She prefers short skirts and shorts as they leave her legs unhindered, and also prefers boots over regular shoes. Avidia doesn't wear a whole lot of jewelry, but she does wear chokers and necklaces to cover up the faint scar on her neck. Other than that there's little aesthetic adornments for her, just practical ones.
Cold. Aloof. Fierce. Avidia doesn't talk much, and when she does she reveals her innermost thoughts and emotions even less. She holds all her cards extremely close because she's found that she won't get hurt - or cause others to get hurt - if she does that. Most of the things she does are to protect herself or those who are close to her. Because of this she comes of as extremely cold and disinterested in most interactions, and can be a bit hard to talk to. When she holds a conversation she treats it like a battle, or a chessmatch, always going back and forth and speaking extremely deliberately, crafting her words carefully to suit her purposes and nobody else's. She bites before other people can bite her, not afraid to throw out stinging barbs with the intent to hurt people in order to protect her own heart and skin. But Avidia isn't all coldness and anger. Underneath all her shells and walls is still a human being. She's a lot more emotional and cares a lot more than she'd readily admit, especially when it comes to the people who are closest to her. She's just very particular about when she'd show this. She values the head over the heart, but it wouldn't be far off to say that the heart is a lot stronger for her. When Avidia loves she loves like a hurricaine, unbridled and wild. When she cares about someone it's with every fibre of her being. When she hates someone it's like a forest fire that sweeps over everything to turn it to ashes. But it's all contained inside her body, and only occasionally slips out in her words and glances.
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: 4/21/16

Combat is Avidia's specialty. It's where she thrives. She's been trained in how to fight since childhood and as a result she is very, very good at it. Her philosophy in fighting is to end it as fast as possible: savage, quick, and with no mercy. They can't hurt you if they're dead, afterall. She uses everything she has when she fights, not limiting it to just her weapon but using her entire body. She's very fluid when she fights but there's still strength behind every one of her movements. When it comes down to it, despite how agile and graceful her movements might be, she's not afraid to plant her foot in the ground and throw all of her body weight into one brutal strike. To see Avidia on the battlefield is to truly witness a master of their craft, and it's almost an art form in of itself.
Here is a list of recent and/or notable fights, roleplay scenes, etc. that Avidia 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.
Avidia was born in Garlemald, in the capital. She was born to two elite soldiers, both of them high-ranked in the military. Unfortunately, as people are want to do when they are soldiers, her parents met their demise when Avidia was very young. As a result she was orphaned at the small age of 3, and sent to an orphanage for other children like her. Avidia remained there for a couple years before she was approached by another officer in the military. The officer had served with her parents and held them in extremely high regard. Not wanting to let their legacy go to waste, he took Avidia into his home and under his wing, raising her almost like she was his own blood. When Avidia was 6 she was enrolled in a combat academy for children, beginning her long career as a fighter and a soldier. It was in this academy that she met Fabius Dandy, another pureblooded Garlean, and the two of them became fast friends. Avidia and Fabius worked their way through the classes at the academy, honing their skills and becoming better and better. In their later years they met Albinus Scaurus, an Au Ra taken from Othard and brainwashed into another soldier. When Avidia graduated she was top of her year, and was immediately placed under a well-respected officer in the military. From there her career truly took off. Under the watchful eye of her superior officer Avidia learned his every move. Eventually she was taken under the wing of Decima sas Balventius as her apprentice/assistant, and through Decima's reputation obtained several sponsors for her military career, all of which contributed to her becoming the youngest Pilus Prior in the past century. Avidia's status made her privvy to a lot of information that Fabius and Albinus weren't allowed to know about. One of them was the location of Albinus's sister, whom had also been taken by the military. In an attempt to find her Avidia made a trip to the prison she was held in. What she found horrified her: the mutilated, defiled corpse of Albinus's sister. This event was what began her slow decline of faith in the Empire, and was also what spurred her into helping Albinus escape from Garlemald, an action which she has still not been found out for.
• Avidia's former partner, Fabius Dandy, recieved an order to spy on a family - the Armstrongs - in Eorzea. They break off contact for the time Fabius is Eorzea, unable to stay in touch. • Following the failure of Fabius's mission, Avidia is sent to Eorzea with a small, elite squad to capture Fabius and take him back to Eorzea. Stationed just outside of Castrum Meridianum, Avidia lured Fabius out with a letter. Upon meeting him and Rhel'ir Tayuun, the man Fabius had fallen in love with, Avidia chose duty over her personal feelings for Fabius. She ordered her soldiers to beat Rehl'ir, humiliated Fabius in front of him, and then captured Fabius to take him back to the Empire. • Avidia's history and friendship with Fabius eventually won out against the cold "duty comes first" mindset she had tried to adopt when tasked with the mission. She released Fabius in the Shroud, tasking him with finding his way back on his own, and returned to Garlemald empty handed. • Due to the failure of her own mission Avidia was publically tortured as punishment: strung up, whipped, and hanged to near death. She was eventually released under Decima's command, and nursed back to health until she could return to the soldier life. • Decima later sent Avidia back to Eorzea to spy on Fabius. However, with her faith in the Empire shaken she became increasingly conflicted on whether or not she should remain as a soldier or simply flee. Upon discovering she was in Eorzea Fabius, thinking she had defected, offered to find her a place to stay but she refused, instead taking refuge with Albinus. • A scarce few months later she was approached by Fabius at the Grindstone and offered a job at his Imaginarium as... "hired security". In actuality he needed someone he could trust to protect his secrets, and in exchange would protect her's. She agreed. • Recently Decima has arrived in Eorzea herself, in order to seek out Fabius. Sensing Avidia's loyalties waning, Decima pulled her back into her grasp and has begun preforming "experiments" on the young soldier, with the intent of turning her into a specially engineered soldier.
These are mostly backstory-related relationships.

Hi, Papaya here. I've been playing this game for a long time and I tend to juggle raiding and rping. I'm online a lot of the time during afternoons and evenings, but since school has started recently it might be a bit harder to find me. If you can't find me on Avidia it's likely I'm on Panne Berry, my main character, or even on my other RP alt, Albinus Scaurus. Don't be afraid to ask me about anything, be it for gameplay content or role-playing!
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:
