GENERAL INFORMATION
Nanagi (Pronunciation: Nuh-na-gi), grew up in the great city of Ul’dah. Her parents, like everyone else, wanted fortune; they wanted to ensure their only child would have a successful life. Sadly, they could never make enough gil to have the wealthy life they dreamed of. Because of this, Nanagi has always wanted gil, and no matter how much she has in her pocket, it’s never enough for her. Although she is good at the jeweler trade, she is most certainly not good enough to get rich off of it. She came up with the idea that if someone was so desperate for help, they would have to pay for it. Seeing this to be the best way to make gil, she decided to live a mercenary life. It wasn’t until recently that she decided to retire the mercenary life, who knows why.
APPEARANCE
Nanagi's eyes share the heterochromia trait her father had. Her right eye is a deep forest green, and from a distance, it could be mistaken for black. As for her left eye, it's as pitch black as the void. She has the same hair color her mother had, a beautiful violet with lavender highlights. From a distance, her highlights could been mistaken for white highlights. Her hair is thicker, styled into loose curls that frame her face nicely. Although she lived in the desert all of her life, Nanagi is a bit paler than other Dunesfolk. This is likely because she spent most of her time in the shade, and hated being out in the sun for too long. She has rather prominent freckles below her eyes and on her cheekbones. Her ears are pointed, and are not too long, but not too short; about average. Her voice is mature, but still reflects her youthful age.
Scars and Markings
- Her right hand was badly burned. The scars still remain and will probably be there for the rest of her life. She no longer wears a bandage over the scars.
- Multiple burn scars can be seen going up her arms. These are different from the ones that her on her right hand.
PERSONALITY
Formal. Determined. Stubborn. Nanagi's personality can make it rather difficult to hold a conversation, she makes it a point to not share much about herself when she first meets someone, and remain formal. Once she has had time to warm up to someone, she opens up a bit more; leaving her quiet demeanor behind. On the contrary, her personality when dealing with formal business is almost the complete opposite. She acts as proper and professional as she can, so that she will leave a better impression.. First impressions are everything with Nanagi - if someone leaves a bad one on her, it's unlikely her opinion of them will change. If she leaves a bad one, it could mean a loss of money - something she doesn't appreciate.
Aether. She finds Aether to be truly fascinating, wishing to know the ins and outs of it. Tea. She prefers hot tea, but will accept whatever she gets. Stargazing. Finds it to be quite relaxing. Snow. It’s like sand. Except for the fact it’s white, cold and pretty. |
The smell of death/rotting. It’s a foul smell and makes Nanagi sick. Large Bodies of Water. Oceans, lakes, ponds and rivers. She can’t swim and shows an obvious discomfort around these types of water. Amalj'aa. She hunts them because of what they did to her parents. She can never forgive them. |
Honest. She’ll be nothing but honest, even brutally so. Loyal. She'll stick to her promises, and remain by her friends sides. High Aetheric Capacity. Nanagi is "rich in aether", having more aether flowing through her than most. Perceptive. She is good at keeping an eye on things. When something changes in the background, she will most likely be the first to notice. |
Physically weak. Spending so much time training in the ways of magick, when it comes to strength, she is weak. She is unable to hold her own in melee combat. Stubborn. Often clouds her judgment and gets her on people’s bad side. Insomnia. Can also cause her to make poor judgements. High Pitch Noises. They give her rather awful migraines. |
CURRENT INVENTORY
This is a list of the items that Nanagi currently is keeping on her. Feel free to use this information if it comes up logically in the course of RP, such as pickpocketing, a search, etc.
Last Updated: 2/6/2016.
Bandages: She keeps these handy in case she needs them, and often uses them at the Grindstone.
A stone with an engraving: A red stone of some sorts with an engraving of Nald'thals symbol.
Ominous Purple Stone: Who know’s what the stone is, but she always keeps it on her person and out of sight. However, it emits an ominous aura that people sensitive to aether could sense.
Coinpurse: Gotta store your money somewhere..
Linkpearls: She has a lot of contacts.
Small notebook: Filled with notes and reminders.
A repaired, empty crystal: An empty crystal with no ether flowing through it. It use to show signs of damage, but it seems to be repaired.
COMBAT & WEAPONRY
Through her teen years and even now, Nanagi has done everything she can to be the best thermaturge she can be. She puts a lot of focus one one spell so it becomes a devastating blow. She does this to make up for the fact that she can't fight up close. If someone gets too close to her, she can only hope that she can push them back with her spells and/or bring them to their knees. She does her best to ensure she has a battle strategy planned; look for any weaknesses, openings, and look around the environment. She often uses the environment to her advantage. If there is nearby wood and her enemy is just close enough to it, she'll set the wood on fire instead, getting her enemies caught in it. Once the damage has been done, she does her best to take out the fire with a few blizzard spells. Because she has spent almost all of her time making her magic stronger, her physical capabilities are poor. She can't lift things that are heavier than her for even a short period of time. Because her physical capabilities are poor, she is considered to be frail. She can't take but so many hits before going down; however, she is quite stubborn so she tends to get right back up and fight when it is probably better for her to stay down or flee.
She seems to have two very specific staffs. The one she crafted is long gone and now has one that seemed to be specially crafted for her and another that she happened to find one day looking through ruins. |
Her secondary weapon. She doesn’t use it often because she prefers using her staff. Training long and hard, Nanagi’s skills as an Astrologian have certainly improved. |
Under her usual robes is a thin leather armor. Since her opponent is more likely to be a melee fighter then a caster, she must be prepared. Having the thin leather armor underneath her robes ensures that she is protected from most hits. |
Nanagi has plans to learn about every magick teachings to help further her Aether research. She is unsure if it is possible, but hopes that she can at least try. |

BACKSTORY
Nanagi lived a rather simple, and educated life. She always helped their parents, she kept up with her studies, and she explored around Ul'dah whenever she could. It wasn't until she was 20 cycles that she faced her most life changing moment, something that she can never forget, even if she tried. Nanagi currently lives her life as a mercenary and Amalj'aa hunter. Not only does she juggle that, she also has buried herself into Aether research. She wishes to know more about Aether, and jokes about one day making her own magick art.
Birth & Early life
Nanagi Nagi was born and raised in the great city of Ul’dah. She was the only child to Mamaki Maki and Momokofo Tatakofo. Her parents, like everyone else, wanted to make a fortune; they wanted wealth. When she wasn't playing with her parents various materials, she would often watch them work. She thought it was fastening to watch them polish rings, and inspect gemstones with the big magnifying glass. She would often help her parents with small things like arranging the jewelry that was on display to look pretty, organizing the materials, and other similar tasks. Her parents were worried about her education, so they decided that during certain times of the day, one of them would take a break from working and give their daughter 2 hour lessons a day. When Nanagi wasn't receiving these lessons, and if she wasn't assisting her parents, she would often teach herself. She was fascinated by what knowledge was in books. If Nanagi wasn't assisting her parents and didn't feel the need to teach herself, she would explore all the parts of Ul’dah, staying out of sight. She never liked being center of attention; she was shy, and so she would explore and try to stay unnoticed. She would spend most of her time hiding in the Thaumaturge guild, for she thought it was the most beautiful and amazing thing she had ever seen. Once the moon rose, Nanagi would return home, and mimic what she saw at the guild; she did this every day until she was 14.
Teen Years
At age 14 her parents took her to the Thaumaturge guild, and asked if they would evaluate her. Her parents wanted her to go on to do great things, and they saw this as her opportunity. After several hours of training and testing, the guild master saw potential in the young Lalafell, and decided to have her join the the guild. Nanagi would spend the next 4 years going to the guild everyday to train, and become better than she was the day before. Even though she was exposed to many people, she didn't talk to a lot of the apprentices there. The only time she talked to them is if the current assignment required her to, or if she had a question. Other than that, she kept to herself. Even with her now studying at the guild, she still kept up with her lessons from her parents and assisting them with their trade. It was almost surprising that someone at her age did so much, but talked very little. She became a bit well known for being quiet, but a great helper and learner. Once she turned 18, she was given her final test. It took her 2 days to complete, but she passed. She was proud that she was able to master the art, and impress her parents. It was after she finished the test that she decided to use her power to help others; however, she felt as though if someone was really that desperate for help, and couldn't solve the problem on their own, they needed to pay. With this in mind, she thought the life of a mercenary would suit her best. She started off small, accepting jobs that required her to hunt down some creatures, delivering packages, and making sure caravans made it to their destination safety. From there, she would begin to take bigger jobs, one's that presented a challenge, ones that would help hone her skills while making gil.
The Event that Turned her Life Upside Down
A 2 cycles later, one night while she was in Western Thanalan, she had received news of a caravan being attacked by Amalj'aa. The people who happened to be with the caravan were her parents. She left Western Thanalan immediately to investigate the scene. The caravan was destroyed, her father's dead body laid on top of small box of rings. Her mother's body was nowhere to be found. The only thing the Flames could find were Amalj'aa tracks, and the looks of something being dragged. When they followed these tracks, the tracks suddenly vanished. It was almost as if they levitated in the air and flew the rest of the way. When they returned to the crime scene, Nanagi had spotted the beautiful circlet her mother would always wear, partially buried in the sand. She took it from the sand, and place it around her head. A memento. She gave her father a proper burial, she whispered to the gravestone that she would keep their business alive, after all; that was all they wanted. It was after the burial that she went to search for her mother. She searched for weeks with no luck, she eventually lightened her search. She spent less, and less time looking for her mother. She accepted the fact that her mother was dead, but something in the back of her mind told her that she was still alive somewhere. Although she isn't constantly looking for her mother, she still searches for any information that might suggest she is alive and her location. She hates the Amalj'aa with a burning passion. She swore to the Twelve that she would hunt down every Amalj'aa in sight, leaving none behind. It was this that made her into an excellent Amalj'aa hunter.

ABOUT THE PLAYER
Hello. I am a female who lives on the East Coast. I live in a small town and like to keep it that way for now since I'm not the biggest fan of crowds. I am friendly person who just loves to RP.
I am a somewhat slow reader. No matter how hard I try, I can't read super fast like a lot of people. Please be patient with me as this could also lead to somewhat slow replies.
Nanagi might act like she is not interested. Nanagi isn’t good at holding a conversation and she can be rather stubborn. She may come off as not interested. That does not mean that I don't want to RP with you.
I am walk up friendly. I will accept all walk ups! If I don't answer right away remember that I am a slow reader. If it has taken too much time, chances are I didn't see the post. Just send a quick /tell to confirm if I did or did not see the post. Sometimes I may be AFK. It won't be for long since I am IC, so please be patient. Still make sure to send a /tell my way though, so when I look at what I missed, I will see the pink text.
I make Typos.I will make typos, and I usually catch them as soon as I send the post. I do my best to try to quickly fix them. I have gotten better at re-reading my post before sending it, so hopefully you should see less typos.

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:
ERP. I will not ERP under any circumstances. If that's your thing then that's fine, but it's not something i'm into.
Allow my character to be killed. I will not allow Nanagi to be killed unless it has been discussed OOC.
Complete breakage of lore. I am fine with lore bending, because I do that sometimes too; however, I am not okay with complete breakage of lore.
|
Combat RP. Combat is fun and sometimes combat is what defines a character. I am perfectly okay with combat RP so long as we are using the /random system. The only exception is if the winner has already been decided OOCly, in that case i’ll just allow combat to be completely narrative and not include /random.
Long-term Plots. Not much to say here, I just like them. Let me be involved! :D.
Serious/Temp. Injury. Injuries happen and i’m more than willing to RP through the recovery process and stuff like that. My only restriction is that she is to not be paralyzed because of said injury.
