A S T R O L O G I A N ❝Beyond the mists, to a river not near nor far, to the shaman's hut, where the marked will be sanctified.❞ The Memory: XXX xxxx. V I S I O N S Nymeia's Eyes ( The Visions ) ★One of Hoshichou's strongest traits is also a point of weakness. Though she is trained to control her visions there are those that are too powerful for her to properly channel. This means that whereas she can put herself into the dreamesque trance with the intention to find out information on the inquiry(ies) it has the potential to spiral out of control. In this situation, she'll often be trapped until the vision is passed. Likewise, Hoshichou can also experience visions that she hasn't triggered. If you would like a vision, please specify if you would like your vision to be one that is controlled, one that spirals out of control, or one that has happened at random. The Elder's Tongue ( Foresight ) ★As the name suggests, these are visions of the future. They can be the near future or the far future. These visions can last seconds to minutes. If you would like a vision, please specify if you would like your vision to be one that is controlled, one that spirals out of control, or one that has happened at random. The Child's Memoir ( Hindsight ) ★As the name suggests, these are visions of the past*. They can be the near past or the far past. These visions can last seconds to minutes. If you would like a vision, please specify if you would like your vision to be one that is controlled, one that spirals out of control, or one that has happened at random. Menphina's Turmoil ( Full & New Moons ) ★The moon plays a part in Hoshichou's visions. Due to the nature of her gift (read below) Hoshichou is entranced and bedridden from dusk until dawn on evenings that are the full moon and new moon. For that reason, I will not schedule meetings on real-world nights that are full or new moons. The Seer's Weight ( Side Affects ) ★The level of the damage done to Hoshichou can be minimal to extensive. This entirely depends on the type of vision she has, the severity, and many other factors. This can be discussed with the player that approaches. D I V I N I N G Yesterday's Tomorrow ( Divining ) ★Beyond her visions Hoshichou has a couple of other ways that she is able to assist her clients with understanding that of their past, present, and future. Alongside her divining cards and starglobe she also has a deck similar to that of tarot and she does tea readings and crystal scrying. The Dance of Menphina & Azeyma ( The Ways of the Astrologian ) ★As an astrologian, Hoshichou does use her Divining Cards and Starglobe. These objects are used to assist in healing alongside assist in understanding (and perhaps even changing) the fates. The Fool's Journey ( Tarot ) ★With slight name adjustments to make the deck more universe friendly, Hoshichou has the equivalent of a tarot deck. The fashion that this deck is used is identical to the real world deck. The Heart's Unspoken Truths ( Tasseography ) ★Hoshichou has a special tea set that she uses for these readings. She picks teas (or uses coffee) that are best suited for the inquiry. Maton's Murmurs ( Crystal Scrying ) ★Coming Soon! Miscellaneous ( Herbology & Alchemy ) ★: As a soothsayer, Hoshichou has taken it upon herself to try and help people with her knowledge. Because knowing fate cannot always help in the moment she has learned how to heal through both astromancy and alchemy. Knowledgeable in herbs for varying afflictions she once created salves, tinctures, poultices, fomentations, syrups, and familiar potions. Since her affliction, she has handed over her recipes to Maneshi, who now creates all the listed with her herbology guidance. Her herbal understanding is also helpful for those looking for guidance on proper ritual arrangements. xxxx.

Her purpose is to provide your character with a multitude of creative outlets for you to push your plot-line further. She is meant to assist you and your story. That being said, I am not here at your 'beck and call'. If you are in need of her assistance I will request you get in touch with me so that I can schedule you in. If there is an emergency I would like to know ahead of time so that I can be online and available for it. If I don't know ahead of time, or we have not scheduled a meeting, I reserve the right to decline participating. Hoshichou still has her stories! Mistress ( of the art ) ★Hoshichou as quite talented in her arts. She has been learning since she was a small child. Furthermore, through roleplay, Hoshichou has been 'gifted' from her attunement. In a sense she has fully, 'ascended,' or 'fully aligned,' with her magic. You can read more about that below. Meanwhile, Hoshichou is forever learning, and is devout to her skills as an astrologian. S I G H T Celestial Sight ( Explained ) ★For those more interested in her sight I'd ask that you make sure you have read the disclaimer before you review this explanation. I will start off with saying that Hoshichou is physically blind. Her sight was taken from her in an attack. Though magic managed to restore the beauty of her eyes it was unable to restore their ability to properly see. It had been through that roleplay that Chou’s astromancy attunement was triggered and ultimately granted her the sight she has now. Hoshichou sees on something I call a, “Celestial Plane.” This may not be what it is technically called but it is something that players and characters can understand better. If she was asked to describe her sight she would explain that it is like being amongst the stars. Instead of seeing physical objects (like that tree) she sees speckles of lights akin to stars. These lights often don’t play much help in guiding her around her surroundings. In that sense, she remains very much blind. She relies on her “Seeing Eye Shroom,” named Bun, the help of others, or the assistance of her senses. Looking into her history, the interested party would discover she was trained by a shinobi named Kato. Kato had been very adamant about training Hoshichou blind (despite her ability to see at the time) because he believed sight was deceiving. It is through his training that she has managed better than most. What the celestial sight does do is it allows her to connect with things that are related to the sky and the fates. An example of this in action is Hoshichou’s tea readings. Hoshichou uses a tea set that is just as much a magical artifact as it is a tea set. After the proper reading ritual has conducted, Hoshichou will ‘look’ into the cup. At this point, the stars will shift around in her sight, and they’ll take on the pattern within it. This allows her to fortune tell. Similar, this is how her tarot readings and scrying work. On clear nights where the stars can be seen, and the moon is not at full or new, Hoshichou has been granted another gift from her attunement. For a temporary amount of time (the duration that the moon is in the night sky), Hoshichou is permitted sight. It only lasts a few hours (pending on time of year and moon rise and set). It’s also easily hindered. She cannot see if she’s not in the moonlight. She cannot see if the starlight is hindered (like in buildings, behind clouds, or otherwise). This “gift” was the most her attunement could “heal” her. Though not particularly part of her sight itself, her celestial sight has other benefits (or consequences, pending on how you look at it). On nights where the moon is either full or new, Hoshichou is entranced from moon rise to moon set. She’s locked in visions of the past or future (moon phase dependant) and cannot awaken from it. In these times, she’s completely vulnerable.

R E L A T I O N S (PC) Maneshitsugumi (Maneshi) Mockingcall ( ♥ Romantic Attraction ● Positive ) ( The Songbird ) Fate had an odd way of rewarding someone for their turmoils, both that to come, and that which has passed. Maneshi came into Hoshichou's life when they were both just able to walk. His father had traveled from beyond the fog, and though he had forbid Maneshi and Hoshichou's interactions, they continued to meet beyond his watch. When Maneshi's father mysteriously departed it had been Hoshichou's parents who adopted him (and his brother) with the help of the other village people. Unfortunately for Hoshichou's parents, it had also been Maneshi that slowly turned Hoshichou away from her dedicated role in life. As their bond became stronger, Hoshichou and her village's relations became more hostile, and nearing the date of her sacrifice she had been banned from seeing him. Caught, only to be captured by her own family, Hoshichou was imprisoned for her poor behavior. On the night of her sacrifice, Maneshi, Yoru, and Byakuya had broke her out. They fled through the fog while their village burned. Maneshi remained in Hoshichou's life for years to come until the raze of Doma. After being separated for a year, the two were reunited, and once hidden feelings were re-ignited. With confession of their love to one another, they vowed to never be split apart, again. Byakuya Nightwhisper ( ♥ Platonic Love ♥ Family ● Positive ) ( The Hound ) Dogs are known for their undying loyalty and Byakuya had been no different. Older than Maneshi, he understood the fear his father had, and also understood Hoshichou's injustice. Not only had he assisted his brother in seeing Chou but he also aided in their escape from the village. Family had become a complicated concept to the little Au Ra but she came to see Byakuya as a brother. His loyalty for her continued even after they had been separated after the raze of Doma. Kato Nhago'ya ( ♥ Platonic Love ♥ Family ✔ Business ● Positive ) ( The Fox ) When the barely teenage group arrived at the fishing village in Doma, Kato had took note of four weathered children who had survived the wilds on their own. After they were offered a home in the orphanage, the four of them had been approached quietly to be trained by the shinobi. With a promise that no one would hurt them again, Hoshichou had taken Kato's offer, but under one condition: she took no lives. A challenge for both shinobi and genin, Hoshichou ultimately became one -- if not the -- best student that Kato had. Moreso, she became a friend, and then she became family. A year before Doma was razed, Kato had been sent off on an important mission to Eorzea, and Hoshichou ultimately took his place as the training Kunoichi. A year after Doma was razed the duo found one another in Limsa Lominsa and made a promise to each other to find any survivors from the village. Basim'a (Kaede) Jinkjahl ( ♥ Platonic Love ♥ Family ✔ Business ● Neutral ≈ Unsure ) ( The Drake ) With family forever complicated, Hoshichou's initial interaction with Basim'a had been when he was a Garlean shadow under the alias, 'Kaede.' He had been sent to infiltrate the Doman fishing village that Hoshichou had resided at. His mission had been to remove the shinobi threat and where they had been recruiting from. Kaede portrayed himself as a 'Big brother,' to the orphanage and grew close to Hoshichou. However, programmed to do his job, he and another agent ultimately took the lives of many children and slaughtered the adults that came to help them. Hoshichou survived alongside Byakuya, Yoru, and Maneshi due to a prediction she had before hand. Shortly after, Basim'a had been sent out to Ala Mhigo. Hoshichou hadn't been reunited with Basim'a until a year after the Calamity. After she discovered he had been Warden of the Midnight Pearl -- an organization she promised to protect -- she conducted her own investigation and interrogation. He was deemed salvaged but their relationship had needed to heal far more than her removing his death sentence. Basim'a continued to climb the boulders she placed in his path until he eventually became her brother once more. Though that hadn't been the end of their relationship turmoils. After Arah Jinjhal -- a mutual companion -- had been captured, a loss of communication between the two of them led to him threatening her with death. After he portrayed actions akin to nearly leaving her to bleed out in the desert, Hoshichou's anger turned vocally violent, and he was dismissed from her life. The departure between the two of them led to her being attacked by a mutual enemy in the Twelveswood and left her permanently blinded. Since then, Basim'a has taken her into his home, and has proceeded to mend both broken spirits and broken relationship. Yoru Nightflower ( ♥ Platonic Love ♥ Family ≈ Unsure ) ( The Serpent ) Family had been undeniably complicated ever since Hoshichou had decided she wished to not participate in her murder. Her elder sister, Yoru, had once believed in the ritual full heartedly. However, like her sister, she began to turn against it. Her process had been slower, more tentative than Hoshichou, and her parents had favored Yoru in later years because of it. Though she has shown committment to keeping her sister's life preserved, Hoshichou still finds herself tentative in her relations with her sister. Her love is there, and she would do anything for her sister, but there's a lingering loss of trust that Hoshichou has yet to rekindle. Even in their year separation after the raze of Doma, Hoshichou continues to err on the side of caution with her sibling. R'shenn Jinkjahl née Tia ( ✔ Business ● Positive ) ( The Dragon ) R'shenn's tempered anger had always been one of his more fine strengths but it had also been a weakness. So often seen by those around him, he successfully built up a facade that deemed him impermeable, but no one got calloused skin without it being torn apart before. R'shenn and Chou had been cut from a cloth too volite to touch but so complicated it was considered fine art. Though their friendship started off on uneven ground the duo managed to bond over similarities. He quickly became one of the first people she could trust with her secrets and one she could stand beside on the Pearl and feel proud. Arah Jinjhal ( ♥ Platonic Love ♥ Family ✔ Business ● Positive ) ( The Coeurl ) Very rarely had anyone's first meeting with Arah been pleasant, Hoshichou's was no different. Ever paranoid about the new blood, it took time for Hoshichou to earn Arah's trust. It had been through Evalynn that Hoshichou persued Arah more persistantly and ultimately earned a spot in Arah's mission to fight a group only known as, 'The Organization.' Through joined operations, the duo grew to understand each other more closely, and despite Arah's complicated mentalities Chou has grown to see the ex-shadow like family. Simi Jinkjahl ( ♥ Platonic Love ✔ Business ● Positive ) ( The Hare) The leader of the very sanctuary Chou has sworn to protect. Hoshichou has grown fond of the mother of three, Basim'a's mate, and undeniable bookworm. Simi had been there for Hoshichou during several medical needs and has never once turned her down or shown any form of abrupt behavior. Instead, Simi almost comes across overly nice, and though it is pleasant it occasionally catches Hoshichou off guard. She has hopes that the history buff with a keen understanding of magic will bond more closely to Maneshi and that he might have a friend outside of Hoshichou.
