Haien Okeya

Trigger Warnings!

Please be warned that this character profile contains elements of severe depression and self-harm. For more information, please refer to the OOC Notes section before actually reading anything else.

Also, please note that this is still unfinished. It's far enough done to be functional and remove the 'MASSIVELY WIP' notice, but not everything has been added in and some elements are still in need of polishing.

[edit] Basic Information History Relationships Rumours RP Hooks OOC Notes  Haien Okeya Gender Male Race Au Ra Clan Raen Citizenship Ul’dah Age 25 Occupation Botanist Orientation Bisexual, strongly leaning male Alignment Neutral Good Affiliation None GENERAL INFORMATION Haien Okeya (Pronunciation: Hi-yen Oh-kay-yuh), is summary summary summary. APPEARANCE Standing at 7'2" tall, Haien is on the lean side for an Au Ra. As with most Raen, a pattern of lightly-colored scales can be found across much of his body. His natural resting expression is a stern one, frequently causing people who don't know him to believe that he is permanently angry. He tends to keep his blonde hair tied back in a loose ponytail with his bangs loose, though due to his lack of concern for looking proper, one can frequently see stray wisps of hair sticking out from the rest. He can frequently be found wearing clothes reminiscent of the Shisui Palace uniform that he used to wear. PERSONALITY Revamp goes here. LIKES Good thing. Why he likes it. Good Thing. Why he likes it.

NON-FAMILY Listed here are the non-family PC characters that Haien 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 Haien, and descriptions are purely based upon in character experiences and opinions! Last Update... March 6th, 2016. * An asterisks denotes that Haien doesn't know the individual's true name. LIST OF NON-FAMILY RELATIONS RUMORS These are rumors, both from NPCs and PCs, that one might overhear in regards to Haien. Feel free to utilize these in your RP hooks, or add your own! Please do note that not all rumours are completely accurate. Some may be exaggerated or flat-out untrue. ◢ Common Rumors - Easily overheard. Use these freely! "Rumour." -- Person. ◢ Uncommon Rumors - A little more difficult to hear. Use sparingly or ask first! "Rumour." -- Person. ◢ Rare Rumors - Very rarely overheard. Please ask before using! "Rumour." -- Person. ◢ Near-Impossible Rumors - You really need to know the right people for these, and we’d have to work something out in advance for a reason for you to know. "Rumour." -- Person. ◢ Player Character Rumors - Feel free to add rumors of your own! (Insert rumor here.) -- Rumor Author / Location (If you add a player rumor, please first copy and paste the above line of code to leave behind for the next person! Thanks!) ROLEPLAY HOOKS I fully admit to being bad at coming up with ideas. If you can think of something that's not on this list, please, by all means bring it to my attention and we can hammer out the specifics. Botanist: Haien’s built a reputation for himself as a skilled botanist, and frequently receives customers looking for strange requests, or without the coin to pay and a good reason for their job. Adventurer: Though it’s no longer his primary profession, Haien still occasionally takes on requests from those in need. He is generally known to do so for little to no pay, depending on the need of his client and how badly in need of help they are. Wilds Man: Not to be confused with ‘wild man’ which he certainly is not, Haien tends to be comfortable in most wilderness environments – particularly the deserts of Thanalan. He’s significantly less comfortable in the cold climates of Coerthas. Quietness: In large groups, sometimes Haien makes as much of an impression by conspicuously not being as lively as the average person. Armor, or lack thereof: Haien frequently receives comments on his particular choice of armor. It’s also led to a few misunderstandings, though he’s usually quick to head those people off. ABOUT THE PLAYER I am a mid-20’s man living with his cat in the mid-western United States on a sleep schedule that only some sort of crazed psychic would be able to predict. I enjoy music that's older than I am, food that's terrible for me, and games that are far nerdier than I can reliably claim to be. I have a fondness for bad puns, though I’m rarely witty enough to make them myself. My humour tends to be of the self-deprecating variety, though occasionally it’ll flip completely and I’ll joke about how totally amazing I am. Please do understand that I do not take either extreme seriously, and it’s just my (poor) sense of humour. I also tend to joke around in what I’ve been told is a flirty way, as I have a fairly blue sense of humour. Please know that no matter how many ♥s or winky faces I send you, it’s still just me messing around, and I am not looking for a romantic relationship. If this behavior (or anything else I do, really) makes you uncomfortable, please do let me know, and I’ll endeavor to cease immediately. THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND... Trigger Warnings. I try to provide trigger warnings as liberally as I can, but I apologize if I fail to catch something (within reason). That said, even when a character has a trigger warning associated with them, it’s generally due to their backstory, and not because I actively RP said situations. Specifically in regards to Haien, he has a history of self-harm, reckless behavior, and severe depression. This is not to say that I’m regularly going out and RPing him hurting himself, but if you are sensitive to such topics, please please PLEASE let me know ahead of time so I can be aware of your needs. I am not a mental health professional. My knowledge of such things comes from experiencing them myself, knowing people who have experienced them, or light research. I do not claim that my information is perfect, but I do try to treat such things with respect, and I would appreciate it if you would as well. My character(s) sometimes have ties to in-game NPCs. I try to keep relationships between my characters well within bounds of canon. Usually, these are past and/or loose ties, but they are there just the same. That said, unless we’re on the topic of backstories and histories, I don’t suspect they’ll come up all that often, and I am NOT the type to be all, “oh and my character is (NPC)’s waifu but (s)he just doesn’t know it yet/acknowledge it in-game!” I AFK in-game frequently. I promise I’m not ignoring you; I just have a bad habit of leaving my game on for hours upon hours on end when I’m sleeping or doing other things. If I don’t respond to you, try sending the message again in a few minutes, and if I still don’t respond, please assume that I’m just not around. This is PARTICULARLY true if you see me sitting in the Quicksand on the ramp near the west door leading to the market, as that’s my usual AFK spot. I also enjoy PVE content. Many of my friends, and even my sister play this game, and I frequently want to spend time with them. If I’m not up for RPing, please don’t take it personally; I promise it’s not something you’ve done – I just also have other aspects of the game I enjoy outside of RPing. I can be a bit timid when first RPing with someone. This is particularly true if I’ve seen you around frequently or know you OOC, since it’s entirely possible you (unintentionally I’m sure) intimidate me a little. Please be patient if my replies aren’t at light speed, since I’m probably spending time over-analyzing them in a desperate attempt not to humiliate myself. GUIDELINES Overall, I'm pretty chill as far as guidelines go. It is very, very hard to offend me, so don’t worry too much about it. 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... Partake in sexually explicit situations. I’m just not comfortable doing so. If for some reason the situation between our characters calls for it, I prefer to handle it with a fade-to-black. Partake in detailed violence IC. I have nothing against violence, it’s just not something I personally find enjoyable to go into nitty-gritty details over. If you wish for our characters to fight, I am certainly not opposed to it on principle, but I would prefer to work out how it goes OOC, then briefly skim it IC once we’ve come to an agreement. I WILL... Abide by logical headcanons. If the lore abides your headcanon, then I will too. If there's no precedent whatsoever for it, then it's likely to be a hard sell. There are no vampires in Eorzea. There are no werewolves. If I’m unaware of the lore behind your headcanon, please be patient and point me to it, and I’ll be happy to accommodate.
