"Ren Kita", simply called Kita or North by some, was born on the 28th Sun of the 6th Umbral Moon. He is an alchemist that specialises in the study, manufacturing, and handling of poisons and general toxic substances. The name Ren Kita is, assumably, not his birth name. Eyes Hair Skin Body Type Voice White, green tint. Short, medium grey, salt/peppering. Sickly pale. Ectomorph. Selective mute. Have fun guessing. Laterality Scars Tattoos & Piercings Style Left handed. Several from head to toe. None. Dark, layers. North has a rather angular face, with a strong jaw and an even stronger grimace that never leaves. His lips are thin but pronounced, and he has a prominent underbite. Cheeks? Hollow. Eyes? Sunken. Brows? Always drawn low. A good four or five scars mar his face alone, one of which has split his right ear pretty badly and another his left eyelids. It's apparent that he's both passing his prime and lives a stressful life, from the creases in his scowl and the white showing up in his peppered grey hair. On most days, he keeps his hair swept back from his face. Skin and bone. North either has trouble putting on weight and keeping it, or neglects to eat regularly. And it's clear he's not one for tanning either, as his skin is practically grey. Veins are easy to spot as well. Sharp would be a good way to put his form; his fingers are slender, and his elbows would definitely hurt to be struck with. If North is capable of verbally speaking, he doesn't trust anyone well enough to use it around them. But in certain situations, one can catch a hint at what his voice ought to sound like-- such as being startled enough to bark out. And it doesn't fit his frail physique. Even without words, his voice is a low and aggressive snarl. He may look particularly dishevelled, but at the very least he keeps himself clean. North doesn't douse himself in any form of cologne or other substances to make him smell appealing, but someone with a strong nose and no sense of personal space might be able to pick up a distinct scent of cleaning substances (Think something like Virex). Along with prominent veins, Kita's body has a number of patchy, bruise-like discolourations-- most of which are gathered around his digits, chest, and joints. But overwhelming these marks is an array of scars: lacerations, burns, bites, and more surgical scars than one should have. One set of these scars resemble autopsy scars more than they do plain surgical ones. Intelligent. Realist. Unsympathetic. Kita is a scientist first, and a person second. If it will help to further his work or knowledge, he will do it. Of course other people's well-being matters... but only so long as caring about them doesn't hinder him. Which isn't helped by his lack of both empathy and sympathy. Despite this, Kita would be a good person to go to for advice, as he is honest (albeit brutally so), and tends to avoid biases. If you're looking for a neutral answer, you will get one. On the outside, North is of course stoic and deadpan with a sprinkle of irritated. But given the right situation, and an angry enough soldier with a loud voice, he becomes a twitchy, apologetic wreck who shrinks away from the slightest thing and is suddenly allergic to eye contact. Along with soldiers (most especially Garleans), he suffers numerous phobias, most notably mirrors and papercuts. Tropes: Above Good and Evil, Covered With Scars, Character Tics, Cold Blooded Torture, Loss of Identity, Deadly Doctor LIKES Knowledge. No matter the subject, however miniscule, Kita eats up new things to learn and discover like a kid let loose in a candy buffet. Learning from mistakes is notably just as appreciated. Deadly Creatures. The very catalyst to his obsession with toxins. Venomous animals hold his highest respect, and fascinate him to a nearly concerning level. Who's a good little brown recluse? YOU ARE! Water. Rain. Clouds. Mist. Lakes. He enjoys being close to or in the water. Sadly not the best swimmer, but he's just as happy in the shallows. Water is water. DISLIKES Moral obstacles. People who question his ethics or, Twelve forbid, prevent him from doing his work in the name of ethics, infuriate him. Jabs + Pampering. North isn't here to put up with being threatened or taunted. He's also not here to be babied for being "weak" and "sickly". He's not a child, and he could probably take more bites from a grass viper than you. The cold. He's not sensitive to the cold. On the contrary, he functions much better in frigid climates. But the cold comes with memories. STRENGTHS Immunity. Kita has spent a good three decades building up an immunity to as many poisons as he can find. While not completely impervious to their effects, he is far more likely to survive than most. Due to this and the rest of his history, he also has a scarily high pain tolerance. Agility. Not a fast runner per se, but his reflexes are in prime condition, and he can definitely touch the back of his head to the back of his knees. Intelligent. And of course, a scientist can't be a good scientist without being smart. Absorbs information well, and is good at problem-solving and improvising with what he has at the time. WEAKNESSES Frail. While strong enough to maintain straining positions, Kita can't lift any significant weight that isn't his very own. Mistrusting. To a point that can put himself and others at risk. Kita only trusts people to do one thing: hurt. Aether Ineptitude. Magic doesn't come easy to him in the slightest. Anything he is capable of doing is usually only possible for him thanks to potions and other temporary augmentations. North doesn't carry any sort of bags when not travelling. Luckily, he has big, plentiful pockets. Pickpockets and/or anyone simply curious giving him a look-over may notice the ones labelled as VISIBLE. The ones labelled as HIDDEN will take more effort to find, i.e. being extremely close to him physically if not patting him down vigorously. Last Updated: 12/02/2018. Notebook [HIDDEN]: A spiral notebook small enough to fit in one of his trouser pockets. Accompanied by a miniature pen. General Antidote [VISIBLE]: North keeps a pouch containing no less than 5 vials of general antidote on his person at all times. Dissection Kit [VISIBLE]: A travel-sized kit for cutting things open and taking a peek inside. Yay! Syringe Gun [HIDDEN]: A tiny revolver, modified to shoot venomous darts. Feather Knives [HIDDEN]: Small golden blades fashioned in the shape of a curved feather. Feather necklace [HIDDEN]: Worn either under high-collared shirts or on a string long enough to keep it hidden, is a small jade feather charm.

I'm a 24 year old goblin who likes to draw and roleplay. FFXIV is still a bit of a new game to me, despite having played it on and off for about a year now. I'm slow with games... really, really slow. Like, took me four years to hit max level on World of Warcraft and have only raided 6 times in eight more years slow. Outside of FFXIV I like to play D&D with some close friends and family! Most of my characters will involve some form of horror-- in Kita's case, morally-grey human experiments. Yay! Horror of just about any kind is my favourite theme for rp, but I'm also pretty fond of comedy, and I try to give people something to giggle at in most casual interactions (and sometimes during combat if it fits the character... or the rolls...). My most active hours are from midday to late night, with Central (CT) being my time zone. Even if I'm not flagged as IC, I'm always open to talk or plot stuff OOC! THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND... Flexible. I'm pretty much open to most RP! Walkups, pre-planned storylines, etc! Just please contact me and ask first before, like, having your character know Kita or be related to him. I am shy though so I might not approach first. Unpredictable Schedule. I won't always have the funds for my sub. And to be quite honest, I won't always feel up to roleplaying, due to mental health. So I can't promise that I will have a regular schedule. There will be times where I'll be on close to 24/7, then other times where I'll be scarce for weeks. I understand if this is a dealbreaker! Post Length/Speed. I will not always match your post length, and I don't expect you to match mine. I will vary from short posts to full paragraphs, so please be patient with my responses. If you're worried I'm not posting, please message me instead of just walking away. I can be slow to respond at times, usually because I'm either having trouble coming up with the right words, or because I'm overthinking about whether my response will be acceptable. LGBTQ+ Friendly. I'm queer, I'm trans, I'm here to make some friends. I will respect you and your characters' gender, sexuality, all that good stuff. OOC homophobia, transphobia, racism, etc. will not be tolerated. IC is fine so long as it remains IC. A-Okay: Most themes, especially comedy, horror, and conflict RP! I'm fine with one-shots, long-term, anything in between. Attempts to injure Kita are fine, just please ask before attempting to like, lop off one of his limbs or something as serious as that. But otherwise, conflict of any kind! Take him prisoner, accuse him of a crime he didn't do, attempt to steal his socks. I am cool with lore-bendy characters, too! I Will NOT: Kill off Kita. I JUST made him you heathens, I'm not getting rid of him aight? I will not RP sexual themes with minor players OR characters, any attempts to engage me in such will have you blacklisted. And I would prefer it if anyone who deems characters/people whose sexes do not match their genders as "futas" or "traps", to not interact with me. As a trans person, I am personally not comfortable with people who see my identity as a fetish. Thank you for your understanding! Please Ask First: Themes involving suicide, non-consensual sexual themes, graphic animal harm/death (particularly felines). And as said, please ask before attempting any serious harm to Kita, as well as any other actions that may leave permanent/long lasting severe changes to his character. And, I'm really not looking for IC romance unless it develops naturally. If your character fancies him, that's fine, but please don't expect for him to reciprocate, especially if he hasn't known your character for at least a Really Fucking Long Time.
