Overview

Overview

Melodie Valtyr is a female Elezen Moneterist born and raised in the city-state of Ul’dah. Born poor, she inherited a great deal of money and used it to begin her rise to prominence as a merchant, eventually becoming known by her rivals as “the Merchant Queen of Ul’dah” as a spiteful joke.

When her wealth began to reach a pinnacle surpassing that of most members of the Syndicate, Melodie began a gentrification project, buying a great deal of property and giving it to select individuals.

This caught the attention of the Syndicate, resulting in their eventual persecution of Melodie, stripping her of her wealth and property by force. Over the course of the next year, Melodie and her family turned themselves into Lalafells to hide from their many enemies while slowly rebuilding from nothing.

One year later, Melodie and her family built back up from nothing to a travelling merchant caravan under the name “Ironmongers.”

Wife

Adventurer. Maid. Wife. An interesting transition for the one that appeared in Melodie's life one day looking for work. Little did they know that feelings would quickly develop, causing them to elope, keeping their relationship secret for several months until they decided to marry officially, turning into the first known wife and the first person to have receive the Valtyr name.

Wife

Hunger. The defining factor that brought this odd couple together. The moment Melodie found the dusky Lalafell stealing food from her house, she knew that she could not let her out on the streets. Hiring her to become her assistant and her bodyguard, Melodie developed an intense attachment because of her origins, and swore to protect her until death do them part.

Concubine

Shyness, perhaps the first thing that Melodie noticed on the exotic woman, who was barely able to look into her eyes. The past of the woman hitting close to home with the own origins of the Merchant, she took her in as her bodyguard, and began training her in the basic rules of high society, eventually discovering the passion that Ashley had for her, accepting her feelings by giving her the Valtyr name.

Concubine

Business. That's what it was, at first. But the ambition of the businesswoman moved away from money and shifted towards the Merchant Queen herself. And Melodie took advantage of it, using the woman's desires to achieve her goal, but somewhere along the way she found herself attracted to the undying dedication of the businesswoman, to the point where she accepted her as a Valtyr.

Concubine

Passion. That's the only word that came up to Melodie's mind as she saw the Engineer working her art. She saw how the unusually quiet woman poured herself in her work, reminding her of herself. Eventually hiring her as an Engineer for the Caravan. As they worked together, Milulu and Melodie grew closer together, to the point were Melodie allowed for her to wear the Valtyr name.

Lover

The Retainer that enjoyed observing Melodie from the sidelines, keeping her feelings in check as she did her best to keep Melodie pleased by performing her duties perfectly. Living life day to day with Melodie and the other Valtyr as she slowly opened up about her feelings. Melodie being the only one who is kept in the dark about the feelings of the dedicated woman.

●
Close Friend

The one woman outside of her family that Melodie trusts enough to let her handle her assets. Before the Valtyr's fall from grace, she was appointed House Regent. A duty she did her best to fulfill but was unable to due to the house being attacked and burnt to the ground.

Melodie and W'saevia lost contact for a year after the incident.

  • I'm more than happy to play a support character in your story.
  • I prefer it when people send me tells before the walkup. However, I do not say no if I'm not busy.

RP Style

RP Style

Amount of RP (light, medium, heavy):

I have a preference for heavy roleplay; however, being an end-game crafter it becomes hard to stay in-character when running around to fulfill the orders from clients. There's also the fact that I work from home, and I tend to have FFXIV open at all times. So, if you see I'm slightly responsive or slow during a walk-up, please keep this in mind! However, do not fear, I won't turn down a walk-up even if I have to play my way out of the situation. I'll try to let you know OOCly.

Views on RP combat and injuries:

Melodie as a character is the kind of character that would not get involved in a fight directly, she's not a combatant; however, as a player, I enjoy RP Combat. I have a heavy preference for realistic battles which result in injuries which are sometimes permanent. I also have a passion for writing up battle systems. If you want to include me in a fight, please reach out to me OOCly first, so that we can coordinate on our preferences in style.

Views on IC romance:

Writing a good story requires without a single doubt romance as a moving factor. However, I will by no means allow for my character to become involved with the character of an inexperienced player, to avoid any drama.  I also have a rule of not allowing for her to be romanced, since it usually ends up on abandonment.

Views on non-romantic RP (family ties, etc):

Yes. Yes. Yes. I'd love to have someone play a family member of Melodie, this is something that I've been looking to get for quite some time; however, just like above, I have a strong preference or experienced players that are willing to coordinate and make things work. If you're interested, please send me a tell so that we can discuss further.

Views on lore:

I love the lore and I have a preference for things that are not lore breaking; however, I love the idea of clever lore bending. I'm by no means an expert in terms of lore, so I'm always looking to talk with people that know more than me about the lore.

Views on chat functions (/say, /linkshell, etc):

I have a preference for public Roleplay, but only if it's not a bother to others. If you see me using quotes or narrating, that means that I'm IC. If you see me using (( brackets )), that means I'm OOC. Pretty standard

I try to keep my /say and /tell IC when possible. However, due to the fact that I'm a crafter I'll sometimes end up having to respond to a non-Roleplayer in /say without the OOC marks.  Linkshells should be IC or OOC, but never a mix. Voice chat is OK, but always OOC.
