Tsyring Ashheart

(( Hot off the press! Still just a little under construction, but done for the most part. ^.^ ))

[edit] Details Personality Rumors Gallery OOC Notes GENERAL INFORMATION Quiet as a mouse, this vertically-challenged dragon-woman often scurries about from place to place, seeking anything from ancient stories to bleeding-edge arcana that she can get her dusky fingers on. When not hiding in a library somewhere, she can be found sneaking about in places no Au Ra of her size should safely be doing so - old ruins, ancient libraries, areas humming with the darkness of the void, and the local tavern. APPEARANCE Long, tarnished silver locks drape haphazardly over ashen shoulders, often masking a pair of bright, curious lavender eyes that seldom find their gaze torn from the pages of a book, preferring to hide behind the dark, circular rims of her spectacles. A pair of pointed ears barely peek beyond the wavy cascade of hair, strewn with black metal piercings that dangle with ethereal chains and trinkets. Constellations of white freckles dot her cheeks, and the corners of her perpetually painted lips seem to always curl into the slightest little smirk. Usually garbed modestly, she dresses like she should be planted among stacks upon stack of books - and if she has her way, that's just where she'll be. Long, obsidian nails tip her fingers, and a myriad of eldritch tattoos wrap around her arms and shoulders, hidden just beneath the silken garb draped around her lithe form. There is a strange air of experience about this small Xaelan woman, out of place among her younger appearance. Aspects That Stand Out: ■ Bright constellations of white freckles. ■ A book close by. Always. ■ Ever-curious lavender eyes. PERSONALITY Tsyring carries herself with a reserved, though often busy, air, appearing flustered more often than not despite whatever truth there may be behind her thoughts. She's decidedly introverted, but has no trouble striking up a riveting conversation about the intricacies of the void and the nitty gritty details of the complex arcano-arithmetic equations involved in calling upon a simple carbuncle - though it's normally the results of such that leaves her hesitant to break the ice. L I K E S ■ Books. Nothing gets this little dragon more excited than new books to stick her nose in. ■ Arcana. Tsyring will venture to the ends of the oceans to experience magic that she's never seen before. Fortunately for her, she's just begun this enormous task, and won't have to travel very far. D I S L I K E S ■ Willful Ignorance. Nothing drives Tsyring up a wall like those fully aware of their lack of knowledge with a refusal to take on any more. With a world containing books and stories aplenty, it really just doesn't make any sense to her. ■ Zealotry. Forever will this dragonling look down upon those that view their cause as Righteous and Just. Time and time again she's seen it play out, and she's getting too old for that crap. H O B B I E S ■ R E A D I N G. It's probably obvious by now, but she's a hopelessly lost bookworm. Old classics, terrible smut, dull bestiaries, she'll read it all and enjoy every page. ■ Cooking. Tsyring is, quite possibly, one of the worst cooks to ever walk Eorzea, but she has fun trying damnit. Burnt biscuit? S T R E N G T H S ■ Analytical. Three steps ahead as a force of habit, Tsyring finds herself truly adept at weighing each and every one of her options - be it socially or in the heat of battle. ■ Experienced. With the way she speaks, you'd think she's had more adventures that one could fit in a single lifetime - especially for a quiet librarian type. W E A K N E S S E S ■ All Sparkle, No Bite. Tsyring finds herself all-too-reliant on her head, often neglecting any sort of physical defense because of it. This smug reliance has put her in more than one sticky situation, and it sure as the seven hells might once again. ■ I Walk with Empty Steps. A combination of Autophobia with a latent fear of being forgotten drives the soft-spoken bookwyrm forwards, often finding herself caught between the two until the threads of her thinking become frayed. There's a reason, after all, that she enjoys escaping through the fantasies offered by so many pages. M O T I V A T I O N S ■ Knowledge. To her, the pursuit of knowledge is the pursuit of happiness. The more she knows, the more mental firepower she can apply, and the more she wins. And to her, there's nothing more delicious than the thunderous realization of imminent defeat in the face of her enemies. ^.^ RUMORS N P C Some of these rumors are untrue, speculation, or are greatly exaggerated. ◢ Common Rumors - Easily overheard. Use these freely! ■ "She's not from around here. I've never seen that woman before in my life." ◢ Uncommon Rumors - A little more difficult to hear. Use sparingly or ask first! ■ "I heard she speaks a strange tongue - nothing I've ever heard before." ◢ Rare Rumors - Very rarely overheard. Please ask before using! ■ "I saw that one walk down a dead-end alley once - just disappeared! Whole place felt... Weird, after." P C Is your character spreading a rumor? Let me know, I'll add it here~ ◢ Player Character Rumors - Some of these are more rare than others! ■ "Who?" — Some merchant, probably. Artwork Screenshots ಌ OOC NOTES ಌ OOC INFORMATION Personal RP Limits I don't have many limits, but I do like RP to develop semi-organically when possible. Have an idea? I'd love to hear it regardless. But, that's my stance on things as it stands. Disclaimer Little Tidbits. ■ I'm still learning the lore! There's a lot, and if I miss something I apologize in advance. I try to do my research, but sometimes wires get crossed and all that. ♥ ■ I don't have the patience for bad writing. Let me clarify, before I sound like a terrible person - imagery is everything. If you don't put in at least a little effort describing your actions (dialogue excluded, obviously), then I won't want to put in effort describing mine, and that sucks the fun out of it for me. CHARACTER TIDBITS Potential Plot Hooks Have a hook idea? Let me know! I love RPing with and meeting new people. Shoot me a /tell first, if only to make sure I don't miss you! Chat scroll gets OP sometimes. ■ Wannabe Librarian. Tsyring has a passion for books. Histories, bestiaries, novels, particularly well-written smut, she reads it all. Perhaps she's reading something of interest..? ■ New In Town. She looks a little lost. Perhaps more than a little lost, though she's not quite willing to admit that. Her sense of direction could use a little work - perhaps she ends up somewhere she ought not to. ■ Professor Ashheart She's recently found herself teaching a class at the prestigious Iron Phoenix Academy on Aetherology. Perhaps you've heard of it, or perhaps she's escaping from the campus to grade her papers in peace. Character Lore Adherence Not deviating from the lore as far as I know, so if you see me doing something super wrong, please let me know - I probably just didn't know! >.>
