GENERAL INFORMATION

Mandy Arixan is a street rat of the truest form. Growing up in the gutters and grime, to say she is a bit rough around the edges is putting it lightly. Her rough demeanor and lack of manners seems to put off those of a finer disposition at first, though her kind-hearted nature tends to win people over in the end. Most of the time she means well, even if she is in the habit of opening her mouth before she thinks about the consequences of her words.


APPEARANCE

Not too long ago, the teen was not so far removed from the streets, much too skinny for her age and size. Though in a bit better physical shape now, Mandy still seems to be skin wrapped around sinew and bone, her physique made of flat planes and sharp points. She doesn't have much of a girlish figure, being almost flat as a board both front and back, and it is not uncommon for people to mistake her for a boy. As for notable features, Mandy has an old, naturally-healed scar that stretches from the tip of her nose to the bottom of her right ear. Her eyes can often times seem too big for her face, especially when surprised or scared. She has thin lips and hollow cheeks, and when she smiles, more often than not it comes across as snarky and ingenuine. All together, she creates a somewhat cute, but fairly plain picture. She moves with a slight limp on her left leg. If exposed, her left leg shows lots of deep, pitted scars down its length on the front.



LIKES

BANTER. Gods knows the girl loves her snark. A good-natured battle of the wits is sure to put a grin on her face.

BAD JOKES. The more groan-worthy, the better!

FOOD. FOOD. Food? FOOD! Foooooooood...

FREE FOOD. What's the only thing better than food? Food you don't have to pay for.

DISLIKES

DISORGANIZED CABINETS. Okay, well, disorganized bandages. How hard is it to keep your grubby mitts off the bandages?!

STUBBORN PEOPLE. At least, when she's in triage. Why come visit a mender if you're not going to listen?

ROE MEN. They scare her.

STRENGTHS

STUBBORN. Once she sets her mind to something, it seems to happen, one way or another, like it or not!

SMART. She'd argue against it until her last breath, but the girl has a good head on her shoulders, most of the time.

SELF-AWARE. Mandy is painfully aware of her limits as a person, and tries to work well around and through them.

WORK ETHIC. If asked, it's easy to have a good work ethic when people's lives are depending on you. A missed class or a chapter behind could mean the difference between her friends living or dying.

WEAKNESSES

STUBBORN. It's been said that arguing with her is not much unlike slamming your head against a brick wall.

SELF-ESTEEM. Who would ever want a second-rate healer with no tits?

IGNORANCE. Being able to read and having a general working knowledge of the world outside the gutters was for people who didn't need to figure out when and where their next meal was going to be. She has a lot of catching up to do!

WEAK. She can talk a big talk, but if blows come to fists, she's at a serious disadvantage.

COMBAT & WEAPONRY

Mandy almost always has a staff on her person. Though she doesn't know how to use it as a piratical weapon, she can make up for that a bit with her conjury. The teen is proficient in most of the basic spells of her craft, and has been known to defend herself with a good-sized rock to the face, a painfully biting gust of wind, or to knock people back with a sudden burst of water to the face. She might be more smol than swol, but that doesn't mean she's defenseless.

For hand-to-hand combat, Mandy is at a serious disadvantage. She has great reflexes born out of her time on the streets, so the girl can dodge a lot of things coming her way(as long as she sees them coming), but she couldn't take much punishment if something lands. And if she tried to deliver blows herself? She could probably cause a good bit of pain with her staff if she landed a lucky blow or two, but her fists probably wouldn't be much more than a nuisance.


BACKSTORY

Mandy was orphaned at a young age. She lived with her mother near Little Ala Migho, and found herself suddenly on her own after a robbery went wrong that left her mother dead and herself lost and homeless. An incident drove her from the caves and crevices of the refugee shanty-town to Ul'dah, where she survived(as well as one could) on Pearl Lane until just recently. She survived mostly on picking pockets and scrounging for scraps, though once she got too big to slip about unnoticed she abandoned risky thievery and took more to sitting around and begging.

RECENT HISTORY

As luck would have it, Mandy caught the attention of Lukas Madrazo. She took an immediate liking to the older Miqo'te who would come around with a handful of gil, food, or a bit of small talk to take her mind off of her situation. After coming into a windfall of gil from a random gentleman, the teen took up an almost permanent residence of Lukas' couch and made the decision to start trying to study as a mender to try and make a living one day.

A random chance of catching snippets of conversation led her to approaching Eyvindr Kolrast and R'mehro Deadeye in the Quicksand. Vin had been speaking of some sort of mending potion or the like, and Mandy approached the pair asking for instruction. Rem convinced Vin to take Mandy on as an extremely fledgling student.

In the past year, the teen has found it hard to settle into one place. She has bounced from a company formed from a group of friends, to a gathering of people who were attempting to help refugees, and now to a para-military group, where she continues to develop her skills as a mender.

ABOUT THE PLAYER

I am 31 years old, married, and have a seven year old son. I also have two cats, a dog, a gerbil, and three horses. I am the main caretaker for my family and my household while my husband is working and in school, and I also train horses. My life can get immeasurably busy, and there will be times when I try to rp and will be interrupted(sometimes a great deal), and there will be many other times where I won't be able to be on for any substantial amount of time for more than a couple days a week. If we are supposed to rp and I disappear or miss whatever time we set up, I apologize now! Your understanding and patience are highly appreciated!

THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND...

NSFW Language Warning! Mandy has a, how is a kind way to say it? Mandy has a colorful vocabulary. Just a heads up in case foul language bothers you!
Dumb Teenager Warning! Mandy is a teenager. She will make dumb teenager mistakes and dumb teenager decisions. General disclaimer!


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:

I WILL NOT...

Ambushes/Maiming/Severe Injury/Kidnapping I do not consent to any of these things before prior OOC contact. I am not opposed to role playing any of these things out, as long as there is honest, open discourse about what is to be expected on both sides.
ERP I do not engage in Erotic Role Play. Period. No exceptions. Mandy is underage, I'm married, and honestly I'd rather spend the limited time I have for RP on something that offers character development or story advancement. NOTE: I do not look down on erp'ers! What you like to do on your own time is on you, no judgement!

I WILL...

Romance/Bar Hookups/Whatever! In the course of rp, these things come up for a character at times, and I look forward to this type of development with Mandy! While I don't erp, I do make ample use of Fade to Black if things get steamy. Besides, what's the fun of playing a teenager if she doesn't crush on someone at some point?
HAVE FUN! This is my stress relief, and I love emotionally driven scenes, be they positive or negative.
Separate IC and OOC Mandy is a little, skinny, Savo-obsessed, vodka-drinking, previously homeless orphan with a strong personality and sometimes a bad attitude. That is not me. There are times when Mandy will be mean, will fly off the handle and cuss people out, and just be down right raunchy and impolite. As her player, I apologize in advance for this, and wish to let you know that Mandy's opinions and actions do not reflect on my own!
