General Information At nearly two centuries old, Vrez Marid has still seen surprisingly little of the world. In the five years since her exile from the jungle, she's experienced just as much variety as she did during the previous 170 of her life. The only consistent thread in the tapestry of her life has been her rabbit-eat-rabbit mentality. Friends are useful, but in the end, she makes decisions and plans for her future based on the assumption that, at any time, the world she knows could collapse. If it does, she's likely to be one of the few to come out on top, though at the expense of trust and any true sense of rest. ❝ Quote. ❞ Appearance Eyes Hair Skin Build Voice Ruby Soft black Golden honey Chocoholic Mezzo-soprano Bearing Laterality Scars Markings Style Aggressive Right None visible Tribal tattoos from left cheek across to right hip Formal Hair & Eyes Ruby red eyes are often her most noticeable feature, contrasting strongly to the soft black tone of her hair. Like many of her kind, she leaves her layered hair down, falling to shoulder length and not longer. Physique & Markings Since leaving the Golmore Jungle, the less active urban lifestyle and greasy Eorzean food hit her body like a mag roader. Though she's still more agile than most people, she's no longer as fit as the stereotype of Viera. She's physically strong but has lost a measure of her former coordination, looking more like a typical townie than a tribal forester. She bears a few whipping marks along her back gained from hazing and bullying by other students in the Arcanist's Guild (spoiler: they mysteriously went missing). Hygiene & Attire Vrez no longer prefers the traditional attire of her people, having found the revealing style more comfortable in an all-female village than in cities full of strangers. She's adapted to the generic flavor of Eorzean formalwear, especially the type expected in academic or magical settings. Her hygeine is impeccable, and she has slight paranoia over shaking hands with strangers until she knows they wash their hands regularly. Personality Psychological Profile Vrez is a demonstration of how the survivor mentality can become toxic. She's betrayed and been betrayed, and despite seeing the diversity of personalities out there, her behavior and life path is based on the assumption that everyone she meets is trying to screw her over, so she'd better screw them harder and faster. Her capacity for deception is impressive, and she can spend years dealing politely with people she hates just to keep the peace. So long as there is peace, she's a model citizen; when the rules of decorum break down, the self-centered survivor comes out. Voice Her voice is heavy for a woman yet still distinctly female, excluding perhaps the standards of Lalafell. She's not a bad singer either so long as a more experienced person sings along with her first. Philosophy & Mannerisms On the outside, Vrez is a consumate professional and cultivates a positive, if understated, image. Her gestures and body language is subdued without being stiff, and she's spent the past century preening her demeanor such that strangers will remember her but not know why. Her philosophy of life is base, almost animalistic, in the sense that she prioritizes safety and shelter before friendship and creative expression. This can cause her to be disloyal at times, though since gaining her bearings outside the Golmore Jungle, she can proudly say that she's never gone hungry or felt cold - a matter of pride she takes in her harsh views on life.

I'm a longtime player of D&D, Warhammer, and other tabletop games; I love them, but number-crunching is NOT roleplaying. If you want to roll dice with me, I'm down to do that in another setting. For FFXIV-based RP, let's weave tales, write plausible descriptions, and determine likely outcomes based on plot devices and story structure.

History . Disclaimer: . Sixth Astral Era Golmore Jungle For 170 years, Vrez lived in complete isolation from the rest of the world, never meeting a person of another clan. Her birth tribe was decimated by a flood-induced landslide when she was in her 50s, and the survivors in her region joined the Fyth tribe. Harmony endured for decades until the death of her branch of the tribe's matron left a power vacuum. Greedy for power, Vrez challenged two of her cousins to a duel for leadership. They fought; she lost. Rather than punishing her, her younger cousin (the victor) was magnanimous, nursing them both back to health. Unable to preserve her dignity after the public pummeling, Vrez chose voluntary exile against the wishes of her cousins, neices, and her own daughter. She left the jungle and never looked back. Seventh Umbral Era Brave New World Wandering an unfamiliar world, Vrez hopped the first boat she could find and wound up on the shores of Vylbrand roughly a year after the Calamity. Though not naive, she was foreign, and she struggled to find work. Her talent with 'the Mist,' as Viera term the Aether, earned her a teacher-researcher role in the Arcanist's Guild. The Guild helped her to refine her knowledge, but the social environment was hell for her: she faced prejudice for her race as well as being ten times the age of the other students. Eventually her tormentors disappeared under mysterious circumstances, and she went on to be recognized as a Summoner in the fourth shortest period of time in Guild records. In Recent Times Moving Forward Her survivor's instinct led her to secure her position in Limsa Lominsa, focusing her ability to impose her will on and shape Aether into a marketable skill. Though she's no innovator, she analzyed the methods of attuning Aether crystals for teleportation and copied them, improving them, devising methods to use less energy and in shorter periods of time. Her aggressive marketing of herself earned her a fair amount of Gil as well as enemies among competitors she pushed out of the market, though her profession took her on jobs much further across Eorzea than she'd ever expected.

RP Info Location & Probability Places where the character is very likely to be seen ■ Location: Probability Affiliations Most of these aren’t public, and would have to be asked after! ■ City-State, Region or Organization: Affiliation reason/purpose. IC Inventory The following items are things that this individual carries on their person at all times. These are noted for pickpockets, and those watching her closely. This information is meant to be a prompt for insight and is not to be meta-gamed, though feel free to use this information if it comes up logically in RP (pickpocketing, a search, etc) with use of a simple /tell. ■ Coinpurse: A simple coin purse made of soft leather, containing a few hundred gil. 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 even I have my 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, and it means don't ask. ■ I will play moderately violent themes, innuendo, or anything else rated PG-13. ■ Ask about injuries, imprisonment, stranding, substance abuse, or personal insults. ■ I won't play ERP, perma-death, perma-injury, meta-gaming, or god-moding. 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, unless I'm actively spamming PvE content. ■ List item.

OOC Notes Player Information Info Use Feel free to use Common or Uncommon rumors freely; if you want to use a Rare Rumor as a plot hook or to spark RP, I would ask that you contact me first to make certain it's alright. 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. Important Note for RP Partners I'm not looking for romance. I've accidentally upset RP partners in other games by failing to make this clear up front, so let me be clear now. If my character is nice to yours, please don't understand her behavior as anything else other than being a decent human being. By all means, be yourself; if your character is a gregarious flirt, then don't censor yourself. Just be prepared for an IC rebuff and remember that Vrez is off the market, so to speak.
