Lyhra Aylin
[edit]
Lyhra Aylin (Pronunciation: Lee-h-ra Eɪ-lɪn):
Born the younger (and female) of twins, Lyhra grew up in a small group of Keeper families deep within the East Shroud's Bramble Patch region. When her brother came of age at 18, he went off to adventure and meet other Keeper families; promising to visit Lyhra the following year. As the days turned into weeks, and the weeks into months though, no word was ever heard from him. The Keeper families sought out what information they could around the East Shroud, hoping to find some sign of the young Miqo'te. But he never returned. After another year of waiting, Lyhra decided to leave the safety of the Bramble Patch and set off in search of him. Thus her adventure began, and continues to this day. She has traveled to many places, gotten into a few scrapes and close calls along the way, and learned many new things.
Face: Considered pale even by the fellow Keepers of her family group, Lyrha's softly rounded face at times resembles the moon she so loves to look at. The white markings on her face were given to her by her mother, in honor of the bright crescent moon the night Lyhra and her brother were born. She also has a birthmark below one eye, and a tear drop mark on the middle of her forehead. Body Type: Petite and lithe, Lyhra's lean body belies the combat training she undergoes to remain one of the top "acquirers" for her organization. Eyes: Expressive, bright fuchsia colored eyes framed by thick black lashes and softly sweeping brows. Often focused on some distant point, even when she's talking directly to someone. Hair: Wavy and black, with just a hint of deep violet at the tips; usually worn in a ponytail with braids. She'll sometimes wear an adornment in her hair, though very rarely any hats or things that can cover her ears. Voice: Her voice can be described as soft and lyrical, the soft hissing "h" and "s" sounds coming out as more of a purr. It does tend to veer towards high-pitched when she gets excited or very nervous.
Friend, Foe, or....? Lyhra is cautious and at times reticent around people she doesn't know well, which has lead some to call her cold or withdrawn. This is even more evident when she's focusing on a particularly difficult mission. In her mind, there is no time for jokes or laughter when there is something precious on the line. Such is the Lyhra that most people will meet when she's on her own, completing a mission for her "organization". Those that do get to know her though, find that she has a gentle, quirky side. She believes that all things in nature have sentience, and she'll often talk to inanimate objects; from trees to swords, to even your old dirty socks. Poor things... Around those she knows well (and the very few she calls friends), Lyhra can be quite silly and goofy. She may even let a bit of sass show, though she doesn't like to intentionally hurt people's feelings (unless it's R'kan).
Having grown up in the wilds of the East Shroud, Lyhra learned to wield a bow at a young age. This is particularly evident when she's in combat; where she excels at taking down opponents from a distance. Her skills with a bowstring, and passion for music, eventually lead her down the path of becoming a Bard. When battling alongside friends or members of her organization, she can be heard playing aether-imbued songs to help enhance their fighting skills. Though very rarely witnessed by outsiders, it is a sight to behold as the young Miqo'te weaves her arrows and music in graceful, yet deadly combat.
Some ways you may run into, or know of Lyhra:
Hi there! I'm a newbie RP'er, slowly making my way into the world of FFXIV RPs. Sorry in advance for any mistakes, awkward sentences, or slow responses I may type in my nervous enthusiasm to RP with you. My work schedule is all over the place, so I may be gone for several days at a time. I promise, I'm not trying to avoid anyone!
I'm not Lyhra As awesome as I hope she turns out to be, please keep in mind that I'm not her and she's not me. I plan to keep OOC and IC feelings, thoughts, and opinions separate. If Lyhra doesn't like your character, it in no way means that I don't like you. And vis versa.
I have a real life. Gasp! As much as I wish I could sit and play FFXIV "all day erryday", I can't. I have a career and friends that I love to hang out with. Please don't take offense if I have to cut off an RP because I've been called away to work, help a friend with a dungeon, etc.
Being new to RP'ing, I'm still trying to figure out what I feel comfortable with. I don't have many 'Do's or 'Don't's, but may add more as time goes on.
I will NOT
