GENERAL INFORMATION

Cicineru Vivineru (Pronunciation: See-see-neh-ru vee-vee-neh-ru), born on the Tenth Sun of the Second Astral Moon in the Sagolii desert, he was never much one for the grander lifestyles. Accustomed to roaming the desert sands and trading the spoils of the sands, he's never actually left Thanalan. The Shroud frightens him, though he's well versed on global history.


APPEARANCE

Short and round (like all lalafells). His skin and hair are dark-- indicative of an Ul’dahn heritage. There are three pale scars stretching across his chest, and long faded thinner onces along his back. They are not the result of self-harm-- rather the result of his father’s abuse. There are burns on his left side as well, as little-seen they are by others. His right eye is faded and blind, the left retaining a brilliant blue from his father’s heritage.


PERSONALITY

Blunt. Obnoxious. Loyal. Cicineru is constantly leaping to conclusions which he should not make. His words are thick and well-spoken, though his voice is sometimes softer than need be. However, he is quick to anger and slow to cool off once in that place. It is not uncommon to see Ci picking fights and getting in scraps, especially while drunk… and boy does he drink. Especially when drunk his usual flirtiness gets worse, but even when sober he has a tendency to try and get with any women (and men) he sees

LIKES

ARGUING. Arguing or debating with anyone in any way or form makes Cicineru incredibly happy… unless he loses, that is.

FIRE. Setting things ablaze, including himself, has always pleased him.

FLIRTING. Flirting has always been a form of escapism for Ci. It’s not the best, but he makes do.

STARS. Being somewhat versed in Sharlayan Astrology, Ci has always had an affinity for the stars, and a liking for their light.

DISLIKES

WATER. Cicineru can’t stand any body of water. The mere sight of a bath is enough to make him faint.

COLD. Ci has never done well in cold temperatures-- hence why he has never left Thanalan. He can’t seem to regulate his temperature well.

FATHERS. Any mention of a father is enough to send him into a depressed mood.

STRENGTHS

LOYALTY. Once you've earned his trust, one is like to find that Ci is in fact an incredibly loyal person. He would take an arrow for a friend any day.

STRENGTH. Cicineru’s years of desrt living, drake riding, and fencing ended with him being rather strong. This is mostly in arm strength and stamina. The rest of his physical prowess is comparatively weaker.

INTELLIGENCE. Born with an insatiable hunger for knowledge, Cici has studied every tome he can find within Thanalan, and had more yet imported. Try not to argue with him on the importance of history.

DETERMINATION. He refuses to give up, despite how many times he may be knocked down.

WEAKNESSES

BLINDNESS. Of the few things Cicineru inherited from his father, bright blue eyes were one of them. In a fit of hatred, he attempted to blind himself. He successfully blinded the right, and damaged the left.

INSECURITY. Racism in the cities and a damaging childhood left Ci with a crippling insecurity, and a fear of not being enough.

PERSISTENCE. In battle, Ci often fights past points that he should. He has trouble overcoming his anger, and often cannot tell when he is too injured to fight.


CURRENT INVENTORY

This is a list of the items that Cicineru currently is keeping on his 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: 4/24/16.


  • MOTHER’S RING: When he left the Sagolii to find employment in Ul'dah, his mother left her ring with him, and nothing else..

  • SATCHEL: A nondescript pouch containing gil. More often than not full. On nights he’s in particularly terrible pain, more often than not empty.

  • GLASSES: Old, chipped, cracked, beat-up reading glasses that he keeps tucked into a fold in his robes. He cannot read without them whatsoever-- though he can see decently without them on.


MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION


Face Claim: N/A.

Body Claim: N/A.

Voice Claim: Ramsay Bolton.


COMBAT & WEAPONRY

With a past like Cicineru’s, and an occupation like his to boot, one must always be prepared to have a little spat or two. Moderately skilled in Sharlayan Astrology, he can heal whatever ails him (albeit not well in battle), and deals with cards often. More than not, however, he can be found with sword in hand and shield at the ready.


ALDEBARAN

A sort of family antique. His father bestowed the old star globe upon Cici when he was only five. After all, the kid needed to know how to keep himself alive.

TYRFING

Not really a legendary sword (or a sword of particular uniqueness either), it’s the blade Ci is most likely to be found wearing. It was not his first blade, no, but is definitely one that has served him well. It has many scratches and repaired flaws.

NARUJJ

The sword that Cicineru has had since he was a child, given to him by his mother. It's thin and has a sharp sting.


EXPERIENCE LOG

Here is a list of recent and/or notable fights, roleplay scenes, etc. that Cicineru has been a part of. This list is by no means all inclusive, and serves more as a general reference as to what he has been up to.


  • Cotota Dakzar : Unarmed. Entirely unarmed and simply attempting to pick a fight, he was attacked by a mad Au Ra woman with an axe. She swung the blunt side into his shoulder and dislocated it, sending him home indignant and defeated.
  • Ulfarr Tigron (4/24/16) : Narujj. Spurred on by a bad mood and a terrible idea, the two battled publicly for several hours. Ci took a number of hits to the face, and Ulfarr was run through in his shoulder by Ci’s blade.
  • Ulfarr Tigron (5/5/16) : Narujj. After a series of disagreements and unspoken stresses, Ci and Ulfarr encountered one another in the Quicksand and the previous tension escalated. Ci demanded Ulfarr make good on his threats to harm him, rather than acting like a coward and talking big, so Ulfarr took him out of the gates. There, he easily laid waste to the lalafell, leaving him with three near-fatal gashes across his chest. If not for Rhel'ir, he would have died.


BACKSTORY

Born in the burning sands of the Sagolii, Cicineru Vivineru was the son of a Sharlayan archaeologist and a woman who roamed the sands for a living. Their names were Eideard and Vividi. Eideard sought to uncover the secrets of the ruins buried beneath the sands of Thanalan, and Vividi was merely a traveler and a trader. The two had fallen in love and had a child-- Ci.

However, driven mad by the heat and frustrated by his failure, Eideard had begun to abuse his son when he was only five. As the years passed, Eideard's abuse escalated from that into "experimenting", and "researching" lalafellin pain tolerances. Vividi didn't know of the things Eideard did.

After years of this, Vividi discovered the things that Eideard had been doing to Cicineru, and drove him away, leaving him to die in the Sagolii desert and safely taking Ci out into the sands with the rest of his family. There he lived for the remaining years of his life, helping protect his caravan and family with his drake, Sorghum. In recent travels to Ul'dah, he found interest in the Sultansworn profession, and managed to become one after only two years of training.

RECENT HISTORY

Having only been a Sultansworn for the past two years, he’s rather inexperienced at his duties. Easily distracted and with a head filled with fantasy, he took a job offered to him by a man named Fabius Dandy, who offered him a job teaching at his school. The Imaginarium proved to be a fantastic environment in which Ci finally has begun to make friends in.


RELATIONSHIPS


RELATIONSHIP STATUS LEGEND
Romantic Attraction Physical Attraction Platonic Love $ Business Deceased Positive Negative Neutral 🔃 Unsure 🔒 Trust


FAMILY & TRIBE

These are mostly backstory-related relationships.

LIST OF FAMILY MEMBERS
Vividi Vidi, mother. ( 🔃🔒 )
Ci’s Thoughts: "S-she was… She was good. Never talked to me much for fear of father getting all pissed off..."

Now deceased (so Ci believes), Vividi cared deeply for her son. She was always there for him, even when he was being harmed by his father. She provided for him his drake, his home, and his sword experience.

Eideard Cadeyrn, father. ( )
Ci's Thoughts: "If he was still here, I’d run him through, I would. I would do it thirty times and thirty times more, just for existing."

Eideard was the worst father any young Sagolii could have hoped for. He used his son for a test subject, and scarred him both physically and mentally for life. Cicineru lived in fear of Eideard, and still is paranoid that his father will return from the dead to haunt him. He believes Eideard died in the desert, but there was never any confirmation of his death.



NON-FAMILY

Listed here are the non-family characters, both PC and NPC, that Cicineru has interacted with enough or in such a way for him 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 Cicineru, and descriptions are purely based upon in character experiences and opinions!

Last Update... 4/24/16.

* An asterisks denotes that Cicineru doesn't know the individual's true name.

LIST OF NON-FAMILY RELATIONS
Ruriri Ruri, the puppetmaster. ( )
Ci’s Thoughts: "Of the one thing that I hate being done to me, she’s done it, and she’s done it better than any damn person I’ve ever known..."

She pulled him away from his duties. She filled his head with silly fantasies of adventuring. She tried to tell him of her attraction, and upon only their second meeting tensions grew high. She took the initiative, and by whittling at Ci’s resolve ended up the first woman to sleep with him. Since then, however, he’s been her perfect little puppet-- she could do whatever he wanted. He’s under her complete control.

Fabius Dandy, eccentric as they come. ( 🔒 )
Ci’s Thoughts: "Something else, that's for sure."

An eccentric individual… to say the least. He met him by chance while going to bother Yoxoh’sae, and wound up bumping into Dandy again and again. Soon enough, he was asked to teach at the hyur’s school, The Imaginarium. After a good deal of compromising and debating, he gave in and accepted a teaching role at the school. Ci now works as a history teacher there.

Rhel’ir Tayuun, bad luck black cat. ( )
Ci’s Thoughts: "Definitely a strange fellow. I’d punch his nose in just about any day of the week, though."

Some poor guy who managed to make Ci’s acquaintance. He’s married to Fabius Dandy unfortunately-- Ci wouldn’t be caught dead married to a nutjob like that for any reason. Rhel’s a sort of strange friend, though. The kind of friend that Ci wouldn’t mind giving a good wallop to, even without good reason. Rhel’s kinda punchable.

Yoxoh’sae Betwanhe, just a kid. ( 🔒 )
Ci’s Thoughts: "Kid isn’t fit to function in the real world. He’s not mentally ready for all the shite that’s gonna come his way."

One of the first people in Ul’dah that Ci met. Yoxoh is far too sweet and far too innocent for really any real world situations. Obviously incredibly sheltered, Yoxoh hasn’t seen many bad things… and he isn’t really ready to. If anyone, Cicineru would protect Yoxoh with his life.

Tamm’lin Maertena, drinking buddy extraordinaire. ( 🔒 )
Ci’s Thoughts: "Rather have her fighting with me than against me. She’s feistier than a coeurl in heat!"

If anyone is worthy of being called terrifying yet friendly, it’s Tamm. She’s spunky, loud, tough, and most importantly, can match Ci in a drinking contest. Maybe-- that hasn’t been tested quite yet, actually. Regardless of her capacity for alcohol, she’s a good friend, and he’d gladly fight beside her any day.

ABOUT THE PLAYER

The name’s Ezekial, and I’m just some dweeb meddling about with dumb characters. I’m always open to skype requests and people following me on tumblr (which is armoroad, btw). Uhh, seriously the biggest dweeb ever on the inside. Talk to me about electro swing pls thank you. Also do art? I wasn’t prepared to write about myself this is a page about Ci what am I doing with my life.

THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND...

In summary. Basically don’t piss me off? Ci’s abrasive and quick to anger, but he also is quick to befriend. Just try for it and you’re bound to make it!
Don't make fun of trans ppl thanks. Otherwise imma drop your ass faster than a guy after scoring his gf post-prom.
I'm not easily triggered. I'm the jewish person that makes holocaust jokes. Legit, don't worry about offending me. Unless you're some sweaty neckbeard living in your mom's basement or an idiot that things you're a naturalist for feeding the deer, it's hard to make me dislike you.


GUIDELINES

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:

I WILL NOT...

Write smut (often). I stay out of erp as much as I can. Don’t pressure me into it or whatever. Ci’s actually really into that so I’m fine content-wise, but I’ll also opt to fade to black almost 100% of the time.
Kill my character. Except I’m totally chill with fights and mortal wounds. I love putting my characters in pain y’all got no idea.
Censor my character. Ci is obnoxious. Ci is rude. Ci is abrasive, and jumps to conclusions, and speaks like he’s better than everyone. I won’t dumb him down for your sake. Ever. The end.

I WILL...

Hurt my muse. Honestly I love when Ci gets hurt or when he’s in emotional pain. If you write emotional things with me, I will love you ‘til the end of days, forreal.
Write my character how I want. Not everyone in real life is likeable. If you don’t like Ci, put your big girl panties on and suck it up, because it isn’t my job to appeal to everyone. It’s my job to write what makes me happy, not write what you want.
Overstep my boundaries and forget things. I have honest to god, clinically diagnosed memory problems. If I forget your boundaries and overstep mine, or forget an interaction or a rule, please forgive me. I have a very difficult time remembering most things.
