Fayne is a light hearted, usually friendly Auri Xaela girl. When first met she can seem a bit out going and maybe even rude. She always means well, sometimes she just doesn't know. Once she has befriended you is when she lets out her true, quirky, and often odd self and often admits just how uneducated she actually is. (This is of no fault of her parents. She just has a short attention span and memory.) She considers herself easy to get along with and open minded. Those who know her might consider her to be too kind hearted and easy to manipulate. | Fayne is a light hearted, usually friendly Auri Xaela girl.

− | The Au Ra was born a | + | The Au Ra was born a Hyur in Gridania, but spent most of her life growing up in Limsa Lominsa. There, she was home schooled by her mother. She always looked up to her father, who was a military man for the Maelstrom. She was taught under her father how to wield a bow-staff, but never had any desire to join the ranks of any military. At a young age she left her sea home for her original roots to learn more about the pole-arm in Gridania and the Lancer's guild. She lived there alone for a time, until her younger brother joined the Maelstrom himself. She returned home to her mother and eventually began working for the grand companies as a freelancer and hunter. That was until she became a little too close with the Sahagin. The Coral Tridents took her and with the help of their primal, Drowned her into serving Leviathan. Though instead of killing her, Fayne's girlfriend at the time, Kailee Ivicus, took her captive of her own accord and kept her safe in her basement until they could figure out a way to save Fayne from her tempering. |
With some cautious help from some voidsent, Kailee found a solution in a fantasia potion, which changed Fayne's entire composition and saved her from her tempering. She has since moved to both work for and marry Dante Redstone, a man who saved the newly transformed woman from her sorrows after breaking up with her then girlfriend. Her dream of becoming a Dragoon has also fallen into place for the woman, after her work with the Centurio Clan was noticed and her deeds in saving a noble from House Dzemiel awarded her the honor. | With some cautious help from some voidsent, Kailee found a solution in a fantasia potion, which changed Fayne's entire composition and saved her from her tempering.

As a way to help (and an excuse to see her granddaughter) Fayne's mother-in-law came back to Eorzea to give the novice some training. Along the way, Aurora (the mother-in-law) had this cane forged and imbued it with her own magick to help Fayne better control her new found powers.</p></div></td>--> |

She was born in the city of Gridania, meeting other children to make friends with, and was often babysat by those children's parents while her own parents worked. Her brother and sister, twins, were born nearly three years after her, also Gridanian citizens, so she's had to share her parents almost her whole life. Sharing wasn't anything new to her after the twins were born. Shortly after the twins were born the entire family moved to Limsa Lominsa, her father having joined the Maelstrom. Fayne and her siblings were raised there in the city, getting schooling from their mother at home. They lived a fairly normal life while her father, Alden, provided for the family. As with any military, however, Alden was not home as often as any family oriented person would like to be. Because of this, Fayne did grow closer to her mother while growing, but also began showing signs of rebellion towards her but not her father. Perhaps this was because her mother, Mindred, was around just a little too often, or was more clingy than was intended. |
Fayne otherwise adjusted pretty well. She was only about three cycles when she began smelling the salty air of the ocean and she learned to love it rather quickly, despite the difference from the smell of the forest. Growing up she got along with her siblings about as well as anyone would. She played with them, fought with them, defended them when other children were getting too rough. She loved them whole-heartedly, even if she didn't always agree with them. | Fayne otherwise adjusted pretty well.

It was time to finally decide what she was going to do with herself. Her father wasn't coming back and she was the eldest in the family. With her mother working more than ever Fayne needed to do something to help. She had decided to put her skills with the bo-staff to use. Though she was far from mastering the style, and with Aldyn gone there was no one to teach her. So she decided to leave home and become a member of the lancers guild, where they could teach her more and possibly recruit her into the Woodwailers. Her mother, Mindred, was none too keen on the idea. She didn't want her little baby, her first born, to leave. She was only 16, hardly an adult.

Against her mother's wishes Fayne returned to her birthplace to learn the polearm, combining it with her skill of the bo-staff, at the lancer's guild. This caused a strain between her and her mother, but Fayne knew in her heart she was doing something good. She was also doing something she loved. | Against her mother's wishes Fayne returned to her birthplace to learn the polearm, combining it with her skill of the bo-staff, at the lancer's guild.

She tried being social, though the relationships never lasted long. There was just something about the elezen in Gridania that Fayne could never quite get past. For three years the Hyur stayed in Gridania but kept in contact with her family, learning of her brother joining the Maelstrom once he became sixteen summers. This scared the woman to death, never knowing what became of her father. What would become of her younger brother? What if another war happened on their homeland? After only three short years of training Fayne returned to Limsa Lominsa to stay with her family for a time before her brother left. She tried to get as much time as she could with him, as she might never seen him again. She stayed home after he left to keep her mother and sister company. She took on odd jobs and hunts to pay for a small boat house that she would dock in Limsa Lominsa so she could be near her mother, should anything happen.</div> |

Mindred, her mother, wasn't too pleased with Fayne taking on these odd jobs, knowing that most of them were dangerous. It was scary for a mother to see not only her husband gone, but two out of three of her children were putting themselves in harm's way. However, they were adults now and Midred had little choice but to let them do as they pleased. What else could she do? She did make sure to have Fayne promise to keep herself alive and well. | Mindred, her mother, wasn't too pleased with Fayne taking on these odd jobs, knowing that most of them were dangerous.

The Hyur was able to travel all around Eorzea. This led the woman to meeting some very interesting people. She made plenty of relationships, though none of them ever lasted very long. Strikingly similar to her time in Gridania. In fact, most of her meetings were one-nighters. Her friendships in general lasted this way for a short while, until she met a blond thaumaturge who needed a place to stay.</div> |

The | + | About one cycle later Fayne had docked her boat next to a lovely Miqo'te couple, named Nel and Isilme Turuphant, and their lovely young daughter named Ilyanna. The Hyur learned that they were the founders of the Celestial Forge, a free company dedicated to helping the land of Eorzea and its people. The adventurer grew to know them well, visiting them often both at the Forge and their personal home. They offered her pay to help with jobs surrounding the Forge, and occasionally babysitting their daughter. Luckily for them Fayne loved children, and little Ilyanna was a well behaved little girl. She had been taught well. Fayne never thought she would have children of her own, but play time with Ilyanna was always a good time for her. |

Clutchfather Novv and his clutch specifically. She grew close to them, forming a friendship with the clutch and eventually becoming a clutchmate herself. She helped bring the Sahagin beastmen and the Maelstrom towards being closer allies. However, the Coral Tridents - a separate tribe of Sahagin - did not find Fayne so amusing. The Coral Tridents were already forming a plan to rid themselves of this meddling Hyur. |

They met on a mission to study voidsent, which came to a not great conclusion on account of Fayne herself, completely ruining the entire mission. Moons later Kaille and Fayne met again. Kailee was a free company leader herself, dedicated to teaching others of their own magickal talents and researching things that some might have questioned as... immoral. The Forge had decided to help Kailee through a critical time, one that had nearly killed her. Fayne felt absolutely powerless and pointless for this "mission" as well. She could do nothing but watch as the Forge worked critically under pressure, saving Kailee before Fayne could think to do anything. Mindless battle was more of her strong point, not thinking. Perhaps it was her lack of thought that prevented her from making any decisions. She had already ruined a mission with Kailee and she was so afraid to ruin this one as well. |
+ | With the mission over the red headed woman needed support still to help her get through the night. Fayne, feeling ever lonely and wanting to help <i>somehow,</i> invited Kailee to stay with her on her boathouse. This was something hard for Kailee to do, though Fayne at the time knew not why. Kailee's past was riddled with harsh, damaging memories of Limsa Lominsa and pirates in general. Though Fayne did her best to comfort and sooth the other Hyur in her time of need. Fayne quickly fell for the redhead, and decided not to let her go. The feelings were unexpected, and possibly slightly skewed. Kailee allowed Fayne to get close which might have been Fayne's downfall later in their relationship. Fayne stayed close to her since then, visiting Kailee at her home in the Goblet quite often and taking her on dates. She knew the woman had a sort of fear of La Noscea, and worked to help her though that as well. Fayne was twenty-two cycles old when she finally had her first stable relationship. | ||
− | + | A few moons after she had learned about The Celestial Forge the lancer finally met the mysterious third founder of the free company while visiting Nel and Isilme. Even though she never saw Nel or Isilme that day, she did get to know this new Miqo'te named Miya Sha. Miya had clearly been though some sort of encounter and seemed to have lost her memory. All Fayne could gather was that Miya had been gone for a very long time and something dreadful happened, though not even Miya knew what. She was willing to show Fayne her broken spear, that needed more than just tinkering to fix. There were some magickal properties to it that Fayne could not understand. The blue Miqo'te mentioned how important the spear meant to her, even if she never said the words exactly, it was clear on her face. Through this interaction alone, Miya's willingness to show something so sacred, Fayne found herself easily forming a bond with the Miqo'te. She took to calling her a lance-sister very quickly. This seemed to bring great joy to the seemingly broken Miqo'te. Fayne offered to let Kailee have a look at it, who agreed to see what she could do. | |
− | During this time Fayne's | + | During this time Fayne's old friend Paradyme had become very ill, having gone through a lot in their two years apart. Deciding to visit him on a whim one day, Fayne found Paradyme on the floor on the upper level of his house, something very wrong with him. There was black ooze everywhere. Fayne, again not thinking, had no idea what to do and readied a call over the Forge linkpearl. Surely someone there could help her. Unfortunately no one answered. Fayne was practically in a panic, completely unaware of what to do in a situation like this. She didn't even know what the black ooze was. A few short moments later Paradyme woke, very groggy and still ill. Fayne did her best to bring the thaumaturge everything he needed. |
Fayne never fully understood what was going on with her friend, other than something from the voidsent was what was causing the problems. Knowing nothing of magick or the Void, Fayne was powerless to help.</div> | Fayne never fully understood what was going on with her friend, other than something from the voidsent was what was causing the problems.

During an investigation of her own devices Fayne was captured by the Coral Tridents and was "drowned", becoming a thrall to their god, Leviathan. It was her birthday, having just turned twenty-three. She was missing for weeks, working alongside the Coral Tridents in their attempts to do away with the Maelstrom and help their god reign over the entire realm. Though Fayne did not live with Kailee at the time, the red-haired woman did find it very worrisome that Fayne had not even attempted to contact her for weeks. |
+ | Paradyme was the first to find Fayne while out on a mission of his own. Though confused and concerned, he was glad to have finally found his old friend! At first, he didn't realize what had become of his dear friend until a thorough questioning, and he was forced into a battle with her if only to defend his own life. The fight between two old, close friends was too one sided. Fayne easily overpowered the thaumaturge who, in this fight, held back far too much. Trying out his new-found skill in being a pugilist he refused to use any magick on her. This was his mistake. He lost, wounded to a point near death. With the help of the black ooze he had been cursed with he was able to return home where he received aid and, as soon as he could, warned the Celestial Forge about Fayne and what had become of her. Kailee caught word and arrived to her location first, knowing full well what would happen. That things would not end peacefully. Isilme, Paradyme, and Liliana arrived moments later, though it was already decided how the interaction would turn out. Another battle ensued between only Fayne and Kailee, the lovers. The battle was once again very one sided. Only this time Kailee had the upper hand, using her special way of twisting magicks to better benefit her. This time Fayne lost, being frozen by her own blood nearly to death. | ||

The drowned looking Hyur was locked down there for moons on end. Though she was never tortured, only starved if only to make her cooperate. She was not alone, either. A mission was set up to acquire another tempered soul, this time a man under Ifrit's persuasion. This man was not so lucky, he could only wish starvation was his only treatment. Fayne watched the man go through numerous experiments, some painful. A solution was finally found; a fantasia with the assumption that perhaps the tempering clung to Fayne's Hyuran aspect and that maybe by changing her race she could return to normal. Though fantasias were scarce, and Kailee did not know the formula to make one. A few moons passed, and the scientist could not find a recipe that would work. Kailee went to obtaining the recipe through... undesirable means. She found that the ingredients needed were more complex and questionable, at best. Some needed to be so fresh, she waited until the last possible moment to begin brewing her first batch of the potion. It would about a week for the brew to finish. With only three days left, everything seemed lost when a gift was presented to Kailee. Miya had returned, offering a barb from the Whorl Eater himself. Both Fayne and Kailee were thrown into an uproar, one of rage and fear respectively. Fearing the brewed fantasia was now tampered with, Kailee was quickly rid of the barb and dismissed the Miqo'te, now needing to find some way to brew the potion faster, before things became worse for not only Fayne, but herself. Another solution was found in [[Kassandra Dawn]], an alchemist with questionable means. She was able to brew the fantasia with the questionable ingredients in only two days.</div> |

The man, weary and beaten from Kailee's experiments, put up no fight and drank the first bottle willingly, hoping it was some kind of poison. Shortly there after he grew not only in inches, but horns and a tail, similar to that of the Auri that had recently taken refuge in Eorzea. When he opened his eyes again he recalled his life before his tempering, and even after, but he pledged no allegiance to Ifrit, his former god. He claimed to remember seeing Ifrit. He remembered Ifrit calling to him, but he had no gods to worship now. Especially after what he had been through, and that he was no longer the man he used to be. In an absolute rush Kailee took the second bottle and immediately tried to give Fayne the drink. With the help of Dante, a member to the Forge, they had to hold down Fayne to get her to drink. The Hyur put up a fight, having nearly all of her energy and will after never being touched, just starved. Kailee had to force feed her own girlfriend the second potion. Something made Fayne drink it, though everyone is still not sure what. She went through the same transformation as the captive before her: growing horns on her head, scales in patches on her body, and even a tail from her spine. When she opened her eyes she had bright blue limbal rings around her usual blue eyes. The now Au Ra almost immediately broke down in tears, only beaten to it by Kailee herself. |
− | Things began | + | Things slowly began returning to normal after that. Fayne reintroduced herself to old friends, showing what had become of her after six moons of being gone. Few were able to believe it was her at first. She was even able to catch up on what had been going on with their lives, both good and bad. The Celestial Forge was growing, though Paradyme... Paradyme had seen better times indeed. |

She even visited Ishgard along side Kailee while the scientist learned of a new magick. This was where Fayne learned of the Order of Dragoons. She found an interest in the Order and told herself that as soon as she was strong again, she might look into joining their ranks. For the time being she was found by Aytienne and was introduced to Clan Centurio. Finding it was similar to her job before of picking up hunt marks for the grand companies she began taking up hunt marks for the Clan. This was perfect, as she was too afraid to return to the grand companies after becoming someone completely different from who they knew. She also feared they would never believe how she became the way she was now. They would either believe she was still tempered despite her claims, or have her (Kailee and Kassandra) thrown in jail for using illegal means of fixing her. However, as moons went by Fayne found herself digging a monotonous trench between hunting for the Clan and returning home to Kailee, who staid at home in her lab most of the time. Fayne, for a time, thought she was okay with this. She fell more and more in love with Kailee each time she saw her. Even more so after Fayne had to be treated for an electrical wound, which Kailee promptly took care of. |

It was her first time out so far away, and she knew the dangers, but she wasn't prepared to fight a full fledged dragon. Not yet. She was tired after taking down a mark already stronger than what she was used to. She was no match for the dragon, and it pinned her down on the ground, nearly crushing her leg to bits. She called to the Blades of Light for help. This was the free company created by the very same [[Dante Redstone]] that helped Kailee when Fayne refused to take her fantasia. Dante was the one to answer, and came immediately to her side. He took down the dragon by surprise, though not before it let out a terrible lightning attack, electrocuting Fayne. She survived, but was burned and half crushed. Dante took her back to Kailee, who calmly handled the matter, and Fayne was left with beautiful lightning shaped scars, forever reminding the Au Ra of the encounter. | ||
At this point it seemed like Fayne was knocked back a few steps every time she tried something. Though there was one thing she knew she couldn't mess up. Lunch with Dante, to thank him for saving her life. She thought she couldn't mess up something so simple, but she was wrong. During their conversation some feelings from Dante came to light, and Fayne came to a few realizations of her own. She couldn't return his feelings, but she began to question her own relationship with Kailee. She realized her time with the scientist was far too long in between, and even when she was at home, Kailee was always dealing with some sort of experiment or study. They almost never saw each other. Sure the time they did spend together was good, but was it worth it? Was their relationship actually going anywhere? Was Fayne going to be happy with Kailee, and was Kailee going to be happy with her? The more she thought about it, the more Fayne came to realize that maybe her and Kailee were not the best match. | At this point it seemed like Fayne was knocked back a few steps every time she tried something.

A Hyuran Fayne there to greet them, which made sense. Fayne was born Hyuran, and probably still saw herself as one. Though things quickly turned into a nightmare when Leviathan (or his projected hold on her mind) showed up and tried to drown the rescue team. Luckily, being only a projection, Dante's and Cailin's minds were too strong. Though they were not without a struggle. For a full day in Fayne's mind, though it only felt like hours, were the two pitted against a fight with Leviathan to free Fayne from his grasp. Upon waking up again they did not argue going right back to sleep to rest from their endeavor. |

They took some time to readjust to their home life again, being greeted and welcomed home with a very warm, welcoming family of friends from Dante's free company. After a time however, it seemed The Blades of Light needed a little more help and man power. It seemed at the same time Kailee's potion shop was a little low on funds. Dante and Kailee had decided it would be best for the two of them to join forces and combine their efforts. They created a new free company, calling themselves Blade and Tonic.

She didn't really care who it was, it was their fault and they needed to be punished for it. Now they needed to find some way out without getting killed. Fayne tried to argue but really had no strength for it. She still felt ill, and Dante was beginning to notice. So instead of arguing Dante suggested they focus their energy on finding a way out. That's what Arik was there for, as the navigator of the insides of Alexander. So looking at the map he had acquired from some gobbies Arik led them down a path he thought would take them out. With everyone out of the room and now on a detour down a slide of some kind they all ended up in a rather large room with nothing but the platform they had all landed-on and... a giant crystal? |

Though Dante was having no part of it as he looked to Ruby, who was still a distance off with obviously something to hide. He was angry and demanded answers. Though just as Ruby began to explain, the entire crew was surrounded by a blinding light. When they could see again, they found themselves on the same platform, but surrounded by sky. It wasn't hard to notice the spirit of Alexander directly in front of them. They had been teleported to the soul of Alexander and in their shock the Primal told Ruby it was time for her to go. |

Everything made her sad and she wanted to have sex all the time. Luckily, she had a husband to help with at least that last part. Cailin was also a big part of Fayne's pregnant life. Cailin was a healer, and while she was using Fayne's opportunity to learn about pregnancies, she was also there to be a friend. She was probably the most understanding about a lot of Fayne's situation. About what happened between her and Kailee, and having a baby now. Cailin was never the judgy type, and that was what made her such a perfect midwife and friend during Fayne's hardest times. |

After the birth and Fayne had had some time to recover, before returning to the Dragoons proper it was suggested that Fayne learn how to handle her new magickal ability a little better.

They worked out an agreement with Fayne that she would continue to do her Dragoon duties and while she was home, she would take classes with Aurora.

Revision as of 14:46, 18 January 2020
[edit]
Fayne Firestar was born Hyuran, but even after an unfortunate turn of events to change her into an Au Ra not much has actually changed about her as a person. She just has horns now. Fayne is a light hearted, usually friendly Auri Xaela girl. When first met she can seem a bit out going and maybe even rude. She always means well, sometimes she just doesn't know. Once she has befriended you is when she lets out her true, quirky, and often odd self and often admits just how uneducated she actually is. (This is of no fault of her parents. She just has a short attention span and memory.) She considers herself easy to get along with and open minded. Those who know her might consider her to be too kind hearted and easy to manipulate. Never cross this woman, however. She will come at you with a vengeance and often times not think about the consequence. If she didn't think while she was in a good mood then she has completely lost her mind after becoming enraged and will say/do things that she often regrets later. The Au Ra was born a Hyur in Gridania, but spent most of her life growing up in Limsa Lominsa. There, she was home schooled by her mother. She always looked up to her father, who was a military man for the Maelstrom. She was taught under her father how to wield a bow-staff, but never had any desire to join the ranks of any military. At a young age she left her sea home for her original roots to learn more about the pole-arm in Gridania and the Lancer's guild. She lived there alone for a time, until her younger brother joined the Maelstrom himself. She returned home to her mother and eventually began working for the grand companies as a freelancer and hunter. That was until she became a little too close with the Sahagin. The Coral Tridents took her and with the help of their primal, Drowned her into serving Leviathan. Though instead of killing her, Fayne's girlfriend at the time, Kailee Ivicus, took her captive of her own accord and kept her safe in her basement until they could figure out a way to save Fayne from her tempering. With some cautious help from some voidsent, Kailee found a solution in a fantasia potion, which changed Fayne's entire composition and saved her from her tempering. She has since moved to both work for and marry Dante Redstone, a man who saved the newly transformed woman from her sorrows after breaking up with her then girlfriend. Her dream of becoming a Dragoon has also fallen into place for the woman, after her work with the Centurio Clan was noticed and her deeds in saving a noble from House Dzemiel awarded her the honor. The ship wreck of a person is now a mother, and a rather proud one at that. She's still rather rash and doesn't think too far ahead of time, but the experience of bearing a child has had a rather strong effect on her train of thought. She's now very protective of her children, and because of that she has become that much easier to piss off. Though around her children she's probably the softest woman you've ever met. At least until they grow up.
Fayne is a punky, 'do what I want' kind of girl. She dresses for herself and surrounds herself with people that either don't care, or agree with her style. She loves to dye and change her hair style often, and wears (what she considers) heavy eye make-up. She doesn't like heavy armor or dresses, and is usually found in a shirt and vest, a sash around her waist, long pants and boots. She likes to move around a lot so loose clothes are better, though she has been seen walking around in tighter clothes to show off her figure. She has a tan to her skin from spending a good amount of time in the sun. Fayne keeps herself fit so she doesn't loose the small, toned belly she has worked so hard for. She might have a small fascination with piercings. Without ears she takes to dressing up her horns, and has pierced her lip (snake bites).
Open-minded. Dense. Lewd. One might think Fayne is nothing but an easy bang on a lonely Ul'dahn night, but Fayne has gradually bettered herself to sleeping with less people. Ever since she began seeking real companionship and has since gotten married, she's now actually fairly selective about who she sleeps with. If anything it seems she's become quite monogamous now-a-days. Though that doesn't stop her from flirting with everyone she meets. She considers herself an open-minded person, not one to judge another for what they like or don't like, and thinks of herself as a pretty easy-going, easy to get along with person. Though she knows she can be quick to anger, and can be far too dense to do anything about it once she reaches a point. (She doesn't have the highest faith in herself when it comes to her own smarts either). Protective. Motherly. Soft. Ever since the birth of her daughter, Ruby, Fayne's personality has changed a bit. But only by a bit. Catch the girl on her own and she'll probably still try to flirt with you. But mention or come near her daughter or son, she becomes a completely different person. She might be a little hesitant to let you hold her baby, and she will risk her own life to make sure her children are safe. Alone in the bedroom she is never one to just tap and run. Instead she'll hang around until the next morning or longer, if allowed, and do her best to take care of her partner. Even if it's only for a night.
Fayne is skilled in many different forms of combat, though her favorite is with chakrams. She can go one on one with another in a fist fight, she has used axes, has been using a pole-arm for as long as she can remember, and is learning the art of dance. Despite some failures, Fayne does consider herself a well rounded combatant and able to easily adjust to new fighting styles. She is less of a thinker and this is what gets her in trouble, but she does her best to learn from her own mistakes.
*Some of Fayne's background may intentionally be left undeveloped or even not there to leave room for growth. Should new ideas arise, or anyone wish to be a part of Fayne's past, the openings are there to fill.
Last Update...5/24/2019
Listed here are the non-family characters, both PC and NPC, that Fayne has interacted with enough or in such a way for her 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 Fayne, and descriptions are purely based upon in character experiences and opinions! If you think there is a mistake, please message me! * An asterisks denotes that Fayne doesn't know the individual's true name.
These are mostly backstory-related relationships.
◢ Common Rumors - Easily overheard. Use these freely!
◢ Uncommon Rumors - A little more difficult to hear. Use sparingly or ask first!
◢ Rare Rumors - Very rarely overheard. Please ask before using!
◢ Player Character Rumors - Feel free to add rumors of your own!
You are not permitted to re-use this artwork for your own characters or purposes, whether on Final Fantasy XIV or on other games, forums, etc.
The player or mun of Fayne has low self-confidence combined with a desperate need to RP. Unfortunately these things don't mix, and so I don't get the RP I seek all of time. This is also paired with the fact that I RP when I'm bored, or have any kind of spare time (even if it's just five minutes). Please never feel like you are a bother to me! Do not be afraid to come to me looking for RP! I accept walks ups and tells in game, and I RP over Discord as well. Aside from that, I am also an artist! I do take commissions on occasion, just ask! I promise I wont bite, and I try to work with you every step of the way. Again, please do not be afraid to tell me something. But that is a discussion for another time. I am in my twenties, working five days a week and have little time to actually RP or do a lot of stuff in game. I try my hardest to always be attentive and I reply to everyone's messages as soon as possible! I do try to be in game when I can, and I am constantly on Discord (FayneFirestar #7298)! I try to be very understanding and open-minded, and I hate conflict. I am always trying to improve myself, so if you see anything wrong or weird, please tell me and I will try to fix it.
