Rukira Michaelis

The Living Dead

❝ If a man dedicates his life to good deeds and the welfare of others, he will die unthanked and unremembered. If he exercises his genius bringing misery and death to billions, his name will echo down through the millennia for a hundred lifetimes. Infamy is always more preferable to ignominy. ❞

General Information ----PUT A GENERAL OUTLOOK ON LIFE HERE---- ❝ '"Death compels us because powerful or weak, loved or hated -- no one escapes death. That includes you. The dead will rise. And you are connected to them all." ❞ Appearance Hair & Eyes Two striking eyes of Lavender, Rukira always holds a judgmental look about her as if peering through a facade. Her blonde hair is thick just beyond her back, but is typically kept up in polite company and battle. Physique & Markings A rather young looking woman for her age, the Midlander blood within her is apparent with such a round face and short features. Rumors carry about how she has lost her eye at a young age, but her body suspiciously does not hold a single scar to it. Hygiene & Attire Rukira molds to her situation, though she prefers to wear light armor she is capable of throwing on an elegant appearance for the socialite scene. Tending to wear darker clothing, the woman merely observes it as more convenient. Personality Psychological Profile INTJ. The Architect. INTJs are defined by their tendency to move through life as though it were a giant chess board, pieces constantly shifting with consideration and intelligence, always assessing new tactics, strategies and contingency plans, constantly outmaneuvering their peers in order to maintain control of a situation while maximizing their freedom to move about. Voice Prideful and strong, the woman speaks like nobility. However, when intoxicated her Mhigan accent tends to shine. Ideal voice choice:Maaya Sakamoto Philosophy & Mannerisms Life is replaceable and the only person that matters in the world is herself. She is not above doing what needs to be done, regardless of what others may think of it. Yet, she's a reserved woman who bides her time and waits for the perfect opportunity to strike.

With a mask of apathy, the Highlander rarely shows kindness unless to those she's close to. This gives her a clear conscience on the field of battle with no moral hesitation. Combat Abilities ● Abyssal Desolation: A wide seal beneath Rukira will expand as massive spikes dig into the air lashing hungry for Aether. All targets within the range of AoE will lose energy which will be pulled back into the Knight herself. Allies and enemies alike will all be targeted with this move. ● Tout Petit Moineau: Attuned to the darkness within, jagged spikes of ebony will emerge from the ground as life around it wilts. A targeted character will be bound for two whole rounds struggling to break free from its grasp as they are slowly dragged down into a portal of the abyss. If the struggling target does not break their binds, they take insurmountable damage. Others cannot help break said bind, if they attempt to touch or interact they will phase through the spikes. OOC Note I prefer the honor system when it's one on one, but rolls for the sake of time when it's a larger group!

There are various plot hooks that can be used from Dovienya's history alone. Please see the OOC tab to view a few listed.

Disclaimer: Consider this section to be a constant Work In Progress.

Childhood Tova Dovienya was born in Thanalan to Caldazar and Talmara Cuenn. Caldazar was of Ala Mhigo while Talmara was of Ul'dah. Dovienya was the 2nd born child and eldest daughter of house Cuenn. She grew up idolizing her elder brother and spent every free moment reading his books. The Cuenn household had a very strict division between the sexes. Boys were the responsibility of the father and were taught what were considered the masculine arts while girls were of the mother and educated in the ways of the Court. Within the estates Dovienya was secluded from the outside world and taught a wide variety of topics ranging from political sciences to mathematics. Dovienya also learned from her mother's vast experience from working within the Syndicate. There she learned some of the more subtle arts. To read body language, to fake emotions, and to lie without a second thought. She hated these lessons most of all because they were often joined by harsh and violent punishments for failure. Dovienya's true passion was in her brother's novels of adventure and heroism. While she was stuck in her class room, she often watched her brother practice and day dreamed of one day leaving her life behind, to become a hero like in the books. One day that's exactly what she did. At sixteen cycles, she snuck out, stole her brother's armor and sword and left home to seek adventure.

Shattering Rose REDACTED REDACTED REDACTED

UPON CHARACTER CREATION The Lady Dovienya se'Tovya, High Seat of House Cuenn ❄ Marcus and Dovienya had established themselves and prominent members of society. Marcus busied himself with running S&S Trading Company, while Dovienya pursued her own interests. Occasionally, those interests aligned and together they were a force to be reckoned with. One of the first instances is the matter of the Vorai syndicate. They were a criminal orginization that Dovienya had been tracking for some time. When she revealed that they had a hand in the slave trade, Marcus also got involved. Their searches eventually brought them to a small group of vagrants and refugees called 'The Remnants'. There, Dovienya and Marcus coerced the leadership to allow their admittance. Once inside, Marcus gained the trust of the members while Dovienya did what she did best, work from the shadows. While the Remnants quailed and splintered, Dovienya and Marcus took what they needed and moved on. ❄ Dovienya is not one to be complacent with victory. Soon after the fall of the Vorai, she began to seek out a new project. This project came in the form of a fledgling information brokerage known as the 'Raven's Nest'. There, she began to work under two young miqo'te woman named Y'ashe Bajhiri and Ketsuchi Kotetsu. Earning Bajhiri's ear was a simple matter and the Nest soon began to flourish. Dovienya bided her time and waited for a moment of weakness before manipulating Bajhiri into granting her equal power within the organization. From there, she worked quickly and quietly, turning the whole of the company against the two former leaders. Realizing their power was challenged, a near civil war erupted. Satisfied with her new found allies and talent, Dovienya left the Raven's Nest with entourage in tow to found her life's work. The Obsidian Court. ❄More to be added later.

RELATIONSHIP STATUS LEGEND

♥ Family – ☀ Platonic – ∞ Involved – ღ Romantic – ♡ Passionate – ❣ Physical – ♦ Friend – ★ Acquaintance – $ Business – ✝ Deceased – ✔ Positive – ✖ Negative – ● Neutral – ? Unsure – ♠ Threat ☠ Enemy

FAMILY Talmara Cuenn, Mother. ( ♠ ♥ ) Dovienya's Thoughts: "If a sword had memory, it might be grateful to the forge fire, but never fond of it." Lady Talmara, mother of Dovienya was born from a wealthy family in Central Thanalan. She was a strict woman who helped direct the household. She believed in a distinct social order where the wealthy and prosperous inherited responsibility over the less fortunate. She was given responsibility over her daughter's upbringing, enforcing an extensive education in mathematics, philosophy, literature, and political sciences. Caldazar Cuenn, Father. ( ♥ ✝ ) Dovienya's Thoughts: "I barely knew my father growing up, I think perhaps I had spoke a couple dozen words to him before I left home." Lord Caldazar Cuenn, patriarch of House Cuenn. Born in Ala Mhigo but left for Ul’dah early in his life when his father caught wind of the approaching threat from the empire. While not as successful a businessman as his father, Caldazar still was deft in his dealings with the Ul’dahn syndicate, giving his family a quiet and privileged life. While his wife was responsible for the upbringing of his daughters, Caldazar raised his sons to follow in his footsteps. They were educated in the arts of mercantilism as well as force of arms. Kadron Cuenn, Brother. ( ♥ ♦ ✝ ) Dovienya's Thoughts: "Kadron was my only friend growing up. He was my escape, my idol, and my role-model. I truly miss him." Dovienya’s older bother. Dovienya idolize the boy as he grew up. He was everything she wanted to be, smart, strong, talented with a blade. Her fondest memories of home involve him reading her stories of adventure, teaching her how to swing a sword and ride a chocobo. He died during the calamity, trying to pull people from a burning building while Dovienya was away from home. Tuatha Cuenn, Sister. ( ♥ ✝ ) Dovienya's Thoughts: "I only remember being perpetually annoyed by my sister. She was always trying to imitate me. I suppose, looking back, she simply looked up to me as I did Kadron." Dovienya’s younger and only sister. Only about three years apart, Dovienya often shared classes with her. She seemed to excel where Dovienya struggled creating much animosity between the two as Dovienya blamed Tuatha for her punishments. She married early in life, at seventeen and died in childbirth soon after. Gai'don Cuenn, Brother. ( ♥ ★ ) Dovienya's Thoughts: "Gai'don is a good man. Followed in his father's footsteps, but he seems to be smarter than father." Dovienya’s younger brother. About 5 years younger, Dovienya remembers playing with the young boy in her early teenage years. She remembers the boy being a bit of a cry baby, usually running to her or Kadron's rooms when father was cross with him. One of the few surviving siblings, Dovienya has a distant but amiable relationship with the man. Tomanelle Cuenn, Brother. ( ♥ ★ ) Dovienya's Thoughts: "I hardly know Tomanelle, left home when he was just barely learning his letters. I hear he grew to be a rather impressive fighter. Not surprising, being a Cuenn and all." Dovienya’s youngest sibling at a full ten years difference, she has the least experience with the boy, having been only six years old when she left home. He is one of the few surviving of the Cuenn siblings, and is currently running his own household, has a bad limp after a brief stint in the Sultana’s royal guard.

NON-FAMILY Anagna Kenesa, The Shadow. ( ☀ $ ✖ ♠ ) - Rebellious Child. Dovienya's Thoughts: "Anaguma is capable, when he decides to be. The man lacks ambition and seems content to let life pass him by. He also seems unwilling to own up to his own mistakes. The boy will need a few harsh lessons in life before he will be broken of such poor habits." Dovienya's former shadow. She felt the boy's loyalties far too divided to fulfill the duties she had wished of him. Though they had fought and shed blood together, there are limits to how far her patience is willing to be stretched for a comrade in arms. He now sits on the Obsidian Council, but in the face of an uncertain future, Dovienya wonders how the man will measure up against the challenges to come. Ahzra'li Lhomi, The Watcher. ( $ ? ♠ ) - Indecisive Prodigy. Dovienya's Thoughts: "I once told Ahzra'li that he would come to see me for what I really am. I think seeing the truth has made him doubt his purpose. I suppose it is for the best, those who have no stomach for violence would do well to avoid me." Ahzra'li is a very rare individual, his mind is perfectly suited for ferreting out secrets. Though his education is lacking, the man contains the capacity to read nearly anyone. Despite what she considers to be a waste of talent, Dovienya hopes the man can find peace from that which hunts him. Biast Basiliscus, The Junkie. ( $ ★ ♠ ) - Addict Engineer. Dovienya's Thoughts: "I have no qualms with master Biast. In fact, the boy seems rather talented. Is his dependancy on chemicals that I find distasteful. Such a lack of willpower is a weakness that can be exploited. Still, he is a pure-blooded garlean, he could prove to be an effective bargaining chip if needed." Biast is one of the newest members of the Court. While Dovienya believes him to be a significant security risk, she cannot deny how effective he can be when properly motivated. Perhaps if he manages to kick his disgusting habit he can be trusted with more meaningful work. Cemi Jinfeh, The Doll. ( ♦ $ ✔ ♠ ) - Court Alchemist. Dovienya's Thoughts: "Cemi is one of those rare individuals that you can always rely on. No matter how difficult the task or how absurd the order, I know she will not question it. I intend to keep her very close in the days to come." Cemi was Dovienya's charge during her tenure at the Raven's Nest. Having followed Dovienya to the court, miss Cemi was given a position among the courtier and placed in charge of the Courts alchemical manufacturing. Cemi is one of the few who has never shown herself to be insubordinate, a fact that makes Dovienya trust her more than most in the court. She somewhat regrets the fear that she inspires in the young woman, but figures that such things are best left where they are. Dovienya wonders what Rukira keeps the girl around for... Cierra Borlaaq, The Perceptive. ( ★ ✔ $ ♠ ) - Sharp Witted Swordswoman. Dovienya's Thoughts: "Quiet. Unassuming. Astute. Cierra is far more than she lets on to be. A useful individual, one that I regret letting slip away. I think she is building up herself to be Marcus' Shadow. This means she is a threat, I hope I will not need to destroy her." Cierra is a xaela of the Borlaaq tribe and is one of the few xaela that Marcus seems to tolerate, much to her credit. Dovienya has interacted little with the diminutive woman, though she seems to discover things that Dovienya wishes hidden. Cierra has recently drawn Dovienya's ire when she uncovered her and Livia's more private affairs, though she must admit that she finds the woman's skills in observation rather refreshing. Charlant Bastoix, The Charmer. ( ★ $ ✔ ♠ ) - Womanizing Court Mage. Dovienya's Thoughts: "Master Charlant? He comes and goes like the changing of the fashions. Just when you think he's gone for good, he pops up again in the most unexpected places." Charlant is one of the very first members raised to Courtier, a feat that the man has earned. The gregarious elezen has all of the pomp and circumstance befitting a member of the courtier, but seems given to fits of extravagant self-indulgence. She wonders if he rules his passions or if his passions rule him. Dalmar Fererra, The Capable. ( ★ $ ✔ ♠ ) - Jack of All Trades. Dovienya's Thoughts: "Now, there's a man with raw talent. If I had a court with a dozen Dalmars then perhaps I would be able to get some real work done." Dalmar has caught Dovienya's eye for his effectiveness and charisma. Though she has recently raised the boy to the rank of Courtier, she expects much more to come. He does seem to have somewhat of a insubordinate streak, Dovienya has chalked that up to the brashness of youth. A few corrective adjustments and the man will be a force to be reckoned with. Hylda Brood, The Hourglass. ( ❣ $ ? ♠ ) - Earth Witch Dovienya's Thoughts: "Miss Hylda and I have much in common. We're both women driven by the paths we have chosen. Both women of principles. And both women who have taken leave of their sanity." Violence oft begets violence and Hylda seems to be at the center of the maelstrom, even if she does not wish to be. The sinful and the unpure are her are right to quaver at her coming, for Dovienya is sure Hylda will be their reckoning. Whether the world survives her is something to worry about in the future. Livia Crane, The Flickering Candle. ( ∞ ღ ) - Dovienya's Guiding Light. Dovienya's Thoughts: "Livia? Well I would never betray her confidence. Suffice to say, I will do what it takes to see her happy. Whatever it takes." Livia Crane is an oddity. At first, Dovienya thought her simple. A woman who acted in the moment with no regard to consequence or repercussions. But the more Dovienya spoke with her, the more time they shared together made her doubt her initial judgments. There is an ocean of depth behind those obstinate red eyes, depth that Dovienya is sure that Livia herself cannot grasp. She is one of the few that Dovienya listens to and confides in. Of all those she has come to known, she is the only one who has regarded Dovienya's ailments without apathy or disgust. She alone has given Dovienya something unique, hope for her own future. Madeleine Lanverlais, The Adder. ( ❣ ★ $ ✔ ♠ ) - Undercover Informant. Dovienya's Thoughts: "It's a shame she always wears that mask, the woman is really quite pretty without it. Hm? Oh, I suppose she is effective on the field as well..." Miss Madeleine is Dovienya's eyes and ears within the Twin Adders. A competent tracker and scout in her own right, Dovienya considers her an asset to the Court and was glad to welcome her into the ranks of the Courtier. Still, there is much that the woman seems to hold back. Dovienya will need to spend some time trying to uncover the secrets of the masked woman. Marcus Feral, The Captain. ( ∞ $ ? ♠ ) - Dovienya's equal in cruelty. Dovienya's Thoughts: "The Captain? Don't let his carefree manner fool you. The man is dangerous. His ambition and greed is second only to his selfishness and apathy. He is one I will not drop my guard around, a measure of respect." Dovienya had met Captain Feral many years ago, during the travels of her youth. She later visited with something of a business arrangement, she would use her skills and family to make them both wealthy and he would be her alibi. They were married, but it felt more business than love. Marcus was the front. He was the honest business man while Dovienya worked from the shadows. He gained contracts because she bribed, manipulated, or blackmailed those who may provide competition. Working together they dismantled economic giants and built themselves up upon their ruined remains. Eventually fondness bloomed into affection, and from there love. Recent years have been difficult, however. Dovienya knows now that Marcus has truly grown into the man he sees in the mirror, and she does not know if she can ever forgive him for it. Sephirah Eruafnor, The Fallen Hunter. ( ❣ $ ☠ ) - Voidal Threat. Dovienya's Thoughts: "My mage hunter strayed too close to the proverbial sun. The man has gone rabid and must be put down. To do so would be a mercy." Dovienya first met Sephirah during her tenure among a group of vagrants calling themselves 'The Remnants'. She found the man to be rude, violent, and easily cowed. She rather enjoyed provoking him, and took great pleasure in teaching him how to act properly. The man had a kind soul, despite the gruff exterior a detail that was not hidden from her for long. He seemed to have a great knack in destroying mages and void sent and was often used in such a capacity. Recently, however it seems that the boy had lingered too close to things he should not and has become corrupted. Where Dovienya was once protective of the boy, she now actively seeks his destruction. Serick Aster, The Old Man. ( ❣ ♦ ✖ ♠ ) - Cranky Old Bastard. Dovienya's Thoughts: "I've known Serick for a few years now. He's always been a pain in the ass, old age has only made it worse." A willful young boy who grew up way too damn fast. No, really. She met Serick in his twenties and now he's bordering forty, not three years later. Something to do with magic, likely. Either way, the boy is somehow even more willful and bad tempered as ever. As long as he shoots where she points, she sees no reason to reprimand him for his insolence. Tempest Fey, The Harpy. ( $ ✖ ♠ ) - Venomous Witch. Dovienya's Thoughts: "Crass, venomous, and quite possibly void tainted. These are just a few of Fey's more charming qualities." Dovienya initially met Ms. Fey through her husband, Marcus. She initially thought the woman to be rather pleasant and refined, but the she grew acquainted with the other woman the more she began to see the truth behind the facade. The woman is vile and dangerous. She plots and schemes like an amateur, a fact that Dovienya does not consider particularly large threat. Her mastery over magic, however is something to be truly reckoned with. Her attachment to Anaguma only intensifies the problem. Tsarnai Borlaaq, The Medic. ( ★ $ ● ♠ ) - The Unknown Entity. Dovienya's Thoughts: "She seems to have infiltrated my court based on a lie. Whoever she is, she is a threat." Dovienya thought she knew the girl quite well, but that all seemed to be a lie. If she can explain herself sufficiently, perhaps Dovienya will allow her to live long enough to learn something of her.. Tsuki Amaranth, The Lost One. ( ♡ ♦ ✖ ? ♠ ☠ ) - "...". Dovienya's Thoughts: "Dovienya refuses to speak on miss Amaranth." Dovienya's former protege. That arrangement ended. Poorly. Vado Mercier, The Engineer. ( ♦ $ ✔ ♠ ) - Talented man with a rebellious streak. Dovienya's Thoughts: "Master Vado is a brilliant engineer. It is a shame that he allows his passions to rule him to easily." Master Vado is head of engineering within the Obsidian Court. Dovienya tasks the man with many projects and appreciates his hard work, dedication, and discretion. It is damned unfortunate that the man seems to have a obstinate streak seconded only by Tsuki. She feels the need to beat the man publicly for his insubordination, but is content to bide her time and wait for the appropriate moment to strike back. When things are well, he is a completely pleasant man and a pleasure to be around. Vevekera Lelekera, The Enigma. ( ♦ ✔ ♠ ) - Master of the Arcane. Dovienya's Thoughts: "I have nothing but good things to say for the man, and you would neither had you seen what he capable of. Believe me, it's in your best interest to stay on his good side." Master Vevekera is an anomaly, Dovienya can sense some..thing else within him that he keeps hidden. His selfless act to help Dovienya has earned him her eternal gratitude. Dovienya shares a similar 'ailment' with the Lalafell, and is sympathetic to his condition. She respects his wisdom and considers him a good source of counsel. Xiang Kahkol, The Unbridled. ( ☀ ♦ ✔ ) - Negligent Protege. Dovienya's Thoughts: "Xiang? Oh I don't know where she is. Go check one of the brothels down the street. Wherever you see a pretty girl, she won't be far." Dovienya's newest protege, though the title seems to be more a suggestion than anything. Xiang spends more time chasing after women than seeing to her duties. Dovienya wonders when the girl will turn up again. When she does, they will need to have a very long and very frank discussion on propriety.

That's why I chose her as my retainer: because ultimately that deadliness will come in handy." — Jeannot Fondebrodeur ■ "Add rumor here." — Rumor Monger

RP Limits I like to consider myself a flexible player who is willing to commit to a number of different types of scenes and role-play scenarios, but I have limits. If something is on the play list, assume it means yes, as long as it's within the context of the current play or ongoing plot. No's are typically a hard no but given appropriate context we can discuss it. ■ I will play just about anything mature within reason. ■ Ask about injuries, dependences, and relationship advancements. ■ I won't play I generally will accept most RP as long as it is relevant to the situation. I reserve the right to back out of a RP if I do not like the direction it is headed. RP Hooks While the below is by no means comprehensive, it's a kind of spring board for walk-up RP. Longer plots that are meant to run for more than a few quick RP's, please feel free to send me a tell so we can work out a good reason for our characters to get to know one another. I'm always looking for RP, so please consider the following as for reasons you may know of Dovienya: ■ Underworld Contact: If your character is well versed in Eorzea's seedy underbelly, then you may have heard of the one called 'Rose'. ■ Business Contact: If your character is heavily involved in the mercantile arts, then perhaps you would know of Marcus Feral's wife, the lady Dovienya of house Cuenn. ■ Court Prospect: If your character is seeking employment, or has a reputation for ruthless efficiency, perhaps they would be looking for work in the Obsidian Court. ■ Ishgardian High Society: If your character is involved in the intrigues of Ishgardian nobility, you may be familiar with house Cuenn and by extension, Dovienya. ■ Drug Contact: If your character is one who deals in illicit goods, you may have desire to contact Rose of the Obsidian Court for discrete delivery of new products. ■ Old Veteran: If your character is an old mercenary or soldier, you may recognize Dovienya as one that went by the name 'Rose'. About fifteen to twenty years ago. ■ Thanalan Syndicate: If your character is involved in the Syndicate, you may be familiar with house Cuenn and be looking to do some business, either legitimate or not.

OOC Notes Player Information Player Note Apologies for the probably permanent construction of this Wiki! Although this is indeed my main character, I don't use Rukira often unless to help push the plot of other LS/FC's. She is through and through a villain character and with that comes a level of god-modey-ness to keep things interesting. If you are interested in some RP, please by all means drop me a /tell! Even if you want to stretch out some details or offer an idea I'm always up for suggestions. <3 That said, I tend to lean more toward mature Role Play. It will be graphic, and it will be dark. Ruki is an edge lord, forgive me. :> Character Lore Adherence Everything concerning this character that has not been confirmed by in-game lore should be taken with a grain of salt. Anything that has had to be changed because of lore shifting will be noted below. ■ No changes. Miscellaneous Information ■ Classes: Lvl 70 Everything ■ Server: Balmung ■ Timezone:US Player; MST Character Tidbits Links Out Links that lead off the wiki, but are technically relevant to the character. ■ IC/OOC Tumblr Blog: N/A Tropes & Explanations A trope is a convention or device that is often found in creative works. In this case, the tropes below describe my character either in part, or as a whole. Their background, personality, appearance, etc, most of them can be described in the tropes below. ■ Magnificent Bastard For a woman that kills for a living, she certainly has a small harem of followers. Charisma, unshakable power, and intelligence is what people swarm to. Beneath her, they feel safe. ■ Yandere A very possessive individual, she goes to extremes when she feels someone she cares for is threatened. ■ Woobie Destroyer of Worlds Tired of the game and people that revolve around it, she wishes to see the world burn. ■ War Goddess Upon the battlefield many shiver at her presence, rumors of the slaughter and blood she revels in. ■ Bad Powers, Bad People Rukira has embraced the path of a Dark Knight. Though initially used to protect the weak, the Darkside within is quite an alluring vice. She manipulates the Abyss and dark magics for her own gain. ■ Enemy Within A persuasive voice within, it whispers into her ear encouraging to spill blood once more. The Soul Stone she carries is corrupted, and with it, herself.
