Khees'a Urusski
[edit]
Keesa Urusski (Pronunciation: Kee-sah Oo-roo-skee), A male Keeper of the Moon who grew up in the Black Shroud near the area between South and Central Shroud. Being the middle child with two older sisters and two younger has made him into who he is today. He has been travelling Eorzea ever since he was deemed old enough by his mother and boasts that he knows the layout of the land better than most. He stopped in Gridania for a time after learning that he had a knack for conjury and started training under E-Sumi-Yan to learn how to use the magic. Since his training has finished, he's started trying to help others while he roams. He has a varied sleep schedule where he'll sleep at any time when he's tired whether day or night but he always makes sure to be up when there's a full moon.
Naturally blond with blue eyes, Keesa sometimes dyes his hair when he's bored and usually in colors that match his sisters' hair. He stands slightly taller than 5'7". He has an average build, though somewhat toned from learning hand-to-hand combat and swords. Being out in moonlight more often than sunlight has kept his skin pale and more susceptible to sunburn, which he hates. His tail is slightly crooked near the end due to it being broken in the past but it's hard to tell unless someone touches it. He doesn't let just anyone touch his tail however, and the fur on it hides the break. He has two scars on his cheek from an accident when he was younger. One of the two stretches from his jaw to nearly his nose. There is another scar across the left side of his lips and one on his right cheek that leads to his neck. He also has a few scars on his body other than the ones on his face, mostly from fights, though a few he would admit to being from some unlucky tumbles. He wears war paint on his face almost constantly. Keesa will wear just about anything he thinks will look good, though whether he has the money to is the deciding factor in his wardrobe. Most of the time he has to settle for knock-offs or items he finds discarded that he can repair.
He doesn't care too much about first impressions someone may have of him as most likely he won't ever see them again. So if there's something he has to do, he'll do it without a second thought and to hell the consequences. Otherwise he prefers to be alone most of the time and has a hard time being around too many people for too long. There are times where he will get lonely and find somewhere to sit to watch people as they go about their lives before he'll get bored and find something else to do.
He may come off as gruff and pushy in some situations and in others he may be carefree and flirty. Most of the time he prefers not to speak and instead listens. He loves to listen to stories even if it's not being told to him. He has bad habit of eavesdropping if he hears something interesting and sometimes has a hard time being subtle about it. He also has a
This is a list of the items that Keesa currently is keeping on his person. He carries a pack on his back at all times while travelling, only putting it down in an inn room in large cities if he'll be there for more than a day. Feel free to use this information if it comes up logically in the course of RP, such as pickpocketing, a search, etc. Last Updated: 10/8/16
Keesa was never really taught how to fight at first, though he does know how to use a bow and arrow for hunting purposes. He learned conjury after he found he had a knack for the magic required. After a few close calls while roaming he's since decided to learn other skills to better defend himself. He has dabbled in a few other disciples, including thaumaturgy but after finding that he's more likely to set his own tail on fire rather than his enemies, he's decided to just stick with what he already knows.
Here is a list of recent and/or notable fights, roleplay scenes, etc. that Keesa 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.
Keesa had a fairly uneventful childhood considering he grew up not only as a middle child but also since his clan was not on the wood wailers good side. The one time he actually feared for his life growing up was when his younger sister, Cahpa, wanted to have a hunting competition between the two of them. Things were going fine until Cahpa made the mistake of getting too close to some Wood Wailers. They attacked the two Miqo'te siblings which left Keesa with the cuts on his face and Cahpa a few nasty cuts on her arms. Although Keesa knows it wasn't her fault, he still can't completely forgive her for what happened. Once he was old enough, Keesa began his life as a wanderer like most male Keepers choose to do. Mostly as he wandered he would use a bow and arrow to hunt to and to scare off any potential threats. By accident, due to finding someone hurt and healing them, he found his affinity with conjury. He decided to train in Gridania so he could help people he might find. During his stay in the city-state, Keesa dyed his hair black and wore hoods and hats to try to hide his identity from the murdery Wood Wailers. After finishing his conjury training, Keesa went back to traveling the land to find adventure. Instead, he found someone he fell in love with. For awhile they traveled together, enjoying their adventures. They had known each other for about a year when they decided to buy rings so they could be bonded for eternity. The two of them went through the ritual of praying at each of the twelve's stones and set the date for the ceremony for a month later. Sadly, a week before the ceremony, the two of them were set upon by bandits in the Black Shroud. Usually they could take care of themselves but the bandits caught them by surprise and they were vastly outnumbered. The two of them tried to fight back but Keesa was gravely injured and was forced to watch his fiancee die by their hands before they took just about everything of value and ran off. Keesa tried his hardest to try to bring them back to life and nearly died in the process after not only not treating his own wound, but using everything he had to try to heal them. After he was forced to accept the fact he couldn't bring back the dead, he buried them with the jewel from his ring. He decided then to use their last name to remember them by. A broken tail and a large scar in his side were his reminders that he wasn't strong enough to protect the person he loved more than anything. He lost hope in conjury and started aimlessly wandering not caring if he lived or died. He wouldn't be able to tell you how long he wandered or even where he went until he literally stumbled through the pugilist guilds doors. There he found that although he couldn't bring his fiancee back, he could get revenge. He threw himself into the training with fervor. At first his enthusiasm was welcomed until one day during a training exercise, Keesa injured his sparring partner, nearly killing them. Hamon tried to teach Keesa restraint but Keesa wasn't having any of it. He left the guild since he felt it wasn't bringing him any closer to his revenge. Soon after leaving the guild Keesa met a small group of bandits attacking a merchant and his daughter. This was his chance to prove to Hamon and himself that he was right and he was doing the right thing. He attacked the group releasing all his pent-up emotions from when he lost his fiancee. When the brawl was over, the bandits had either fled or were dying on the ground. Thinking he would be thanked by the merchant he was surprised when they called him a monster and ran away. This reaction was not something he expected and it made him question just what he was doing. He decided to go back to Hamon and try his training again. On his way back to the pugilist guild he got turned around and accidentally ended up in the gladiator guild. Being too scared of Mylla to refuse, he joined the guild and began his training.
lazy lazy lazy.
These are mostly backstory-related relationships.
Listed here are the non-family characters, both PC and NPC, that Keesa 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 Keesa, and descriptions are purely based upon in character experiences and opinions! Last Update... 4/28/16 * An asterisks denotes that Keesa doesn't know the individual's true name.

ROLEPLAY HOOKS
Really I'm up for just about any RP but these can help with ideas if needed!
- Family: Keesa knows his mothers side of his family but knows next to nothing about his fathers side. If he has any other half-siblings out there or other family members he wouldn't mind getting to know them.
- Travelling: Keesa has travelled a lot and met all sorts of people. Anyone that recognizes him, good or bad, can always start something. He's healed anyone he's come across that needed it as well.
- Side Character: I don't mind being a side character to any plot you may have and need someone to help springboard off of. Just let me know!
- Hurt and in need of healing: Keesa will help anyone that needs healing whether they ask for it or not. Even if all they do is yell and curse at him, if they're hurt and/or dying he'll do what he can to save them.
- Bad Habits: Due to his habit of taking clothes and items from people that don't need them anymore, he could be mistaken for someone else. Or someone could have known the previous owner and wonder just how Keesa got a hold of it.
- Wood Wailers: Wood Wailers and Keesa have never got along very well while he was growing up; he went even so far as to hide who he was while staying in Gridania just so they wouldn't recognize him. He's not one to start a fight with a Wood Wailer or friends of theirs, but he won't back down if they want to start a fight.
- Bandits: Bandits have always been on Keesa's bad side even before the incident with his fiancee, and his hate for them only grew afterwards. If he ever met those same bandits, there's no telling what he might do.
ABOUT THE PLAYER
I've been RPing for quite some time in forums and in different chat programs. I've dropped forums a long time ago though due to just not being that into it as much, but have kept up in chats with people I know. I've decided to try this since the game in itself is just very slow in between patches. I live in EST but my times online can be all over the place. I love puns whether good or bad (though a truly good pun is a bad one) but I am usually not witty enough to make one up on my own. But sometimes when the planets align and the time is right, a heavenly body will descend and hand over the one golden opportunity for me to make that One Good Pun™.
I also keep OOC and IC feelings separate so if Keesa doesn't like your character just remember it's not my actual feelings. In addition to that, I am not looking for any kind of OOC romantic relationship so if Keesa is somehow involved with your character that doesn't mean we're together OOCly either. I figure that's usually an unspoken part of RP but I've had a bad experience in the past where someone thought we were together and we weren't, so I'm nipping that in the bud right now. It probably doesn't help that OOC I can joke and seem very flirty but just remember that no matter what I put I'm not trying to come on to you, that's just how I am I guess.
Most of Keesa's story is kept somewhat vague or even not there to leave room for growth. Should new ideas arise or anyone wish to be a part of Keesa's past, the openings are there to fill.
I AFK in the game a lot I try to always put up the AFK symbol if I know I'm going to be away for longer than 5-10 minutes but I don't always remember. So if I don't respond to something it's not that I don't want to talk, I might just be away!
I'm pretty much always IC So really most any walk up RP is totally fine. The only time I'm definitely OOC is when I'm queue'd for a dungeon or I'm a botanist or miner. But even then I might still RP for the heck of it.
I'm a big scaredy cat when first RPing with someone (pun intended) So I'm sorry if I take awhile to reply while RPing. It's not that I'm distracted or don't want to, it's just that I'm overthinking what to say/do so I don't make a fool out of myself. I appreciate your patience with me if this happens.
I do enjoy PVE content So even though I am almost always IC there are times when I just don't feel like RPing so please don't take it personally if I'm not up for it right away. It's not you, it's me babe.

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:
Permanent character death
Mature themes that are not related to plots or character development
ERP that does not "fade to black" I'm fine with Keesa having sexual partners but I will not RP it. Any ERP will have to "fade to black."
|
Some mature content and themes (violence, sexuality, drug / alcohol use, coarse and excessive language, etc.) I prefer any fighting that Keesa is apart of be discussed beforehand with the winner determined outside of RP, then just RP the story/details. I find this preferable over the roll of the dice.
Temporary injury and incapacitation.
Temporary captivity or imprisonment.
Most walk-up encounters.
Long-term and/or permanent injury and disfigurement. Ask first please!
Long-term captivity or imprisonment. Ask first please!
|
This isn't a huge list that shows everything that could come up so if in doubt, just ask! I prefer to set out guidelines for RP in advance anyway so I know what goal to have in mind.
