She's one known to lean back and let others play heroes and villains, only taking action in politics when she deems it necessary. She refuses to risk the life of herself or those around her unless her mask is at immediate risk of theft or destruction. She's a monster/people hunter, the work she does expanding over several of the other nations but has centered solely around Ul'dah for unknown reasons. She is crude at times and is terrible at socializing, only using single words or small phrases to get her point across. Rarely will she use long sentences or fully speak her mind. She's not easily angered and doesn't care to hurt other's feelings.. ❝ Don't believe what you see. Don't trust what you hear. ❞ Appearance Eyes Hair Skin Build Voice Amber Tabby Orange with red accents A dull copper tone Petite, toned. Soft, near hushed whispers at times. Bearing Laterality Scars Markings Style Usually upright with hands at her side or folded across chest Right-handed. A large scar on neck to collarbone, multiple scars on both arms Most facial features obscured by mask Gridanian hunting garbs mixed with Ul'dahn armour Hair & Eyes Ve has blazing amber eyes that seem to pierce through the black thin veil that covers the eye holes of her mask. Because her expression isn't visible, Ve's demeanor can be really off putting as if she is in a perpetual state of anger or irritance, which she is not. Ve's hair is a tabby orange that is quite long and adorned with red accents. Almost always wearing it back and tied, or braided, she rarely lets her hair down to keep it out of her way. Her hair is soft to the touch as well as her ears which are longer and thinner than average Miqo'te ears. Physique & Markings Ve stands at a solid 5 fulms and weighing in (without armor) at 89 ponze. The Miqo'te is well toned but not muscular, being very petite and thin in conjunction with copious amounts of exercise to stay in shape. Despite her near flawless copper toned body, the scars on her arms stand out as there are plenty of horizontal slashes or claw marks strewn from her wrists up to her shoulders, giving the idea that someone or something tried to cut off those limbs. Another scar is visible on her neck which stretches down to her collarbone. This scar looks like its cratered into her body. Ve's tail is about 2 fulms in length and is extra bushy at the end; also soft at the touch. Hygiene & Attire Ve actively cleans herself when she is not out and about hunting in Thanalan. She bathes at least once a day, if not more, even after exercises or other activities that requires her to do excess amounts of moving. As for her attire, Ve wears things that are light material and can be occasionally seen wearing hunting outfits akin to those in the Black Shroud but slowly melding in her own sense of style as well as intermingling Ul'dahn armour and clothes. Rarely will anyone see her in casual attire. On her face, Ve will always have her red mask adorned. Only the lucky ones have ever seen her take it off. Personality Psychological Profile Ve's views on life is rather jaded when compared to the ideology of anyone and everyone around her. If what you do rewards you with success, be it morally or immoraly, Ve will do it. She does not stand by the thought of 'there is a right way and then there is a wrong way'. If you can obtain your goals by whatever means, then what is right or wrong is simply determined by your own perspective. Coming to this belief system after spending summers by herself after leaving her tribe. Ve can be vengeful when others get in the way of her personal goals, even though she herself may not know what those goals are at any given time. She is prone to treat others based solely on the fact of whether or not they helped her achieve what she sought or how much in the way they were. Growing up secluded led her to being cruel or violent, dealing with people in skewed ways. It is rare for Ve to give compliments or speak highly of anyone she does or does not know as she has seen many corrupt and injustices in Eorzea, mainly in Gridania and Ul'dah. Not wanting to give those the idea that actually mean something to her, Ve would rather keep her opinions to herself to avoid any sort of companionship or need to have others call upon her for favors. Ve would very much rather be alone unless she found someone worth actually speaking to which doesn't happen often. Voice A soft gentle voice is the common sound that comes from behind her mask. Speaking with hushed tones as if trying not to be loud and disrespectful. Often times she'll speak in an odd manner though doesn't realize it. When angered her voice can be monotonous yet still give off a thunderous roar that comes from her throat. When happy or pleased she can be heard humming from her throat.

Combat, Abilities & Weaponry Basic Statistics High: Dexterity Above Average: Physical Defense, Strength, Accuracy Average: Vitality, Determination, Intelligence Low: Piety, Ice Resistance, Magic Resistance Weapon Training Mastery: Spear (Pikes/Halberds/Lances) Expert: Bow (Short and Long) Average: Knives, Swords(Cutlasses,Curved swords) Novice: Axe Combat Relevant Skills High: Adaptability, Maneuverability Above Average: Endurance, Marksmanship Average: Pain Tolerance Low: Tactics, Analysis Non-Combat Abilities ● Lip Reading: Due to her ever silent life, Ve has made it a common practice to people watch. Through her time in Ul'dah she has been witness to many shadey dealings or large crowds. Further watching peoples she was able to learn how to read lips. Fast talkers are the only exception as their lips move to fast. ● Swimming: She's a decent swimmer, having had to learn in order to fend for herself when she was learning to fish. Ve can crawl and backstroke. She absolutely hates getting wet though as all of her hair weighs her head down making it harder to properly take up a position to use her bow. ● Herbalist, First Aid: Studies of plant life and spending summers picking and making her own medicines, Ve has self taught herself to make remedies that can temporarily heal minor cuts, bruises and burns as well tending to broken limbs with slings or braces. ● Poison Resistance Due to living in the Black Shroud and succumbing to many poisons, be it from plants or poison foods, Ve has developed a bit of a resistance to poisons though when exposed to large or extremely potent doses, she can still succumb. Combat Abilities ● Marksman/Hawk Eye: Ve is an excellent bow user, being able to strike at long distances without even being noticed due to her countless summers hunting in the Black Shroud. Often times she would use her short bow, "The Lucky Clover", as a club should her attack get close when wielding the weapon type. ● Martial Arts/Close Combat:Ve is proficient in weapons she such as Daggers, Shortswords,and and axes. Her main weapon is her spear, "The Huntsman", which is akin to a naginata. Her strength in swinging this blade is almost surreal due to her size but observant fighters would realize she doesn't swing often unless a hit was bound to do some kind of damage in order to save her energy. ● Cat Like Reflexes: Like most Miqo'te who are very agile and nimble, Ve is no different if not above average. Her small frame ontop of her light clothing allows her to soar through the battle field with ease. Even using her spear as a means to launch herself and jumping off of things, much like the dragoons of Ishgard but no where close as effective. Only doing this as a means to launch in and out of fighting and not as a means of combat prowess. ● Aether Burst: When going against an opponent and Ve is losing; whether near death or unconscious, her mask allows her to get a surge of Aether and a boost in all her abilities. This is for an extremely short time, meant to get her to safety and fast. Should she not be able to get away, her body succumbs to exhaustion and collapses near instantly due to the stress the aether burst puts on her body.

History From The Lost Memories of Ve Disclaimer: This is OOC information based on loose memories from Ve. This information isn't common knowledge, this is just to give people ways to meet or hookup IC with Ve. None of this is set in stone and will be changed if need be to fit lore or to change her abilities. If you see something amiss contact me and I can fix it. IF you want to be included or even play out a scene of this I'm more then happy to oblige if it makes sense. The Red Ashen Mask Corruption of the Innocent Ve is from the Black Shroud belonging to an unknown Keeper tribe that has been lost to her due to memory complications. Ve is aware though she was raised in the South Shroud alongside her brother, Kamin, with another sibling who was actually her twin, who currently, escapes her thoughts. The brother and sister were known to get into trouble and were often punished for their misdeeds, refusing to learn punishment after punishment to the point most of the elders, mainly the matriarch, let the two run amuck and within reason. When their misdeeds turned to Thievery from travellers or adventurers in the Black Shroud, that’s when things started to change. The tribe took notice to these sudden change in behaviours and tried their best to keep their eyes on the two. Nothing stopped the siblings, however. One sun the two came upon an convoy of tradesmen and the like. Ve's brother, Kamen stealing a dark red ash mask with a blue sapphire encrusted into its forehead from the caravan that was making way through the Black Shroud to some unknown location. Happy with the find, Kamen would often wear it when performing their criminal activities henceforth. Ve didn't it humorous in the slightest. That was when Kamin started to change... The mask seemed to envelope the young Kamen, changing him slowly into a spiteful young child. He grew silent and distant. Disregarding his sister whom he had such a connection too. Ve, unsure of what was going on, took it in stride and continued to try and be a part of Kamen’s now deteriorating sociality. He would atop speaking at dinner, often times secluding himself to his room or out in the woods without Ve. One night, Ve snuck away into his room to see if he wanted to go out and see if there were any caravans nearby to steal from. That was when she noticed the mask, sitting their on the edge of the bed with Kamen fast asleep. Ve couldn't help but take the opportunity. Snatching up the mask, she examined it closely before a slight whisper burrowed into her ear… Maybe multiple. It was unclear but the young child couldn't divert her eyes to the empty black mesh eye holes... As if the mask stared back. A slight tingle in her fingers followed the longer she held it before becoming compelled to wear it. It begged her almost... That was when she was tackled suddenly. Kamen! He was screaming at her to give it back. Panic struck as the two wrestled for the artifact, kicks and scratches being delivered back and forth. A foot jut out and landed into Kamen’s stomach forcing him to stumble back and trip over his own feet. Head snapping back onto the edge of a table, the tender neck of the child giving way to the sickening thud before falling motionless onto the floor. Panting, gasping and now shuddering with fear, the young Keeper called to her brother but no response. Again, young Ve called to Kamen. There was nothing. The deafening silence made her near sick. Then there was a voice... Looking down, Ve was greeted by the mask staring up at her from the floor. Picking it up and quickly disappearing into the night, Ve had vanished... When the sun had arrived there was news of the death from one of the childre … anger and confusion struck the tribe. With Ve nowhere to be found which left her twin sister, Tasha, to take the brunt of the punishment after a tribesman said that “she” was the last one around Kamen, which wasn’t true. Tasha was scared at the shouting, trying to make sense of what was happening. A young child who still sought guidance and love from her elders and parents only to be turned on. No one would listen.. No one even thought about Ve with emotions and tensions running high. Tasha was then exiled in place of Ve… but Ve didn’t care. She got what she wanted though it cost her her twin who paid for Ve’s crimes. She has the mask with no one to take it... Adulthood Onward to Ul'dah Ve stayed with the tribe for a few summers before finally leaving under the shroud of darkness with her mask. The young girl acting solely on what the mask was "telling" her. Surely a young child barely 13, or even 14, summers on her own in the already dangerous Black Shroud, would result in death. Surprisingly, Ve did just that... Learning basic archery and the ability to wield makeshift spears, the Keeper was more than capable to survive on her own and even to the point where she self taught herself herbalism and first aid. Only going close to civilization when the need arised such as food when none could be caught or clothes that no longer fit or were to damaged. Thankfully, Ve was already well versed in common thievery which would change in the coming summers. Reaching 18 summers, the Keeper was developing odd mannerisms such as talking to herseld and wearing the most almost nonstop. Even going as far as saying things such as "The mask is me...". Many in the Black Shroud had dubbed her the Masked One and pranksters even going as far as calling her just, Masky. The mental instability of Ve was quickly becoming an issue as her memory complications began here... Her tribe slowly became nonexistent. Her twin, Tasha, who was exiled because of her. How she even got the mask for that matter. Everything was melding together and was only met with blurry thoughts and images whenever she tried to recollect the past. Ve had turned to a hermit lifestyle, living in complete seclusion but would quickly have her life turned around when she had hit her 25th summer. A common bandit group found their way to Ve's home and attempted to rob her of everything, including her mask. The Keeper snapped and spared no one. Her blood lust was high when strange hands touching her mask, which she still wore. When locals from Quarrymill were out hunting, they happened upon the scene and tried to help but was only met with the brutality of Ve, who was still high of adrenaline. Ve was deemed a threat to the Shroud and wanted posters were issued for her capture. Being forced to escape the ever shrinking woods she called home due to the Twin Adders, the Miqo'te abandoned everything minus the clothes on her back, spear in hand and mask on face and made her way south... Some sennights later, Ve found her way into Ul'dah where she currently resides. Taking on odd jobs here and there, she was able to live comfortably. That quickly stopped though as she was sudenly seen prowling the streets more and more. The images of her brother flashing before her eyes and now the mentally unstable woman is chasing shadows of her deceased brother... Ve has grown accustomed to the city of Ul'dah while most of its inhabitants are aware of Ve's presense. Most usually avoid her due to her awkward social skills but many skilled adventurers often sought her out due to the uncanny aura she gives off, much to her dismay of having to deal with people. In Recent Times Ve still currently lives in Ul'dah but her mental state is slowly deteriorating more and more with each moon passing. Adding to that now, Ve had unexpectedly ran into her long lost twin, Tasha, whom Ve doesn't even remember or recognize. With the twin sisters reunited, what could possibly happen? Especially with the ever gnawing presence of the mask... .

IC Inventory The following items are things that this individual carries on their person at all times. These are noted for pickpockets, and those watching her closely. This information is meant to be a prompt for insight and is not to be meta-gamed, though feel free to use this information if it comes up logically in RP (pickpocketing, a search, etc) with use of a simple /tell. ■ The Red Ashen Mask: The red mask with the sapphire encrusted upon its forehead. The source of Ve's problems as well as her new found strengths. It is unclear what properties this masks holds deep within its shell but can be known to manipulate it's users, such as Ve and Kamen, her brother. The mask is always worn by Ve and rarely, if ever will she take it off, unless circumstances dictate. The amount of aether the mask gives off is unsettling. ■ The Huntsman:The Hunstman is one of two weapons Ve will carry on her. The large naginata/spear with an unknown origin has been a weapon of choice and has seen much death being wielded by the Keeper. Despite its daunting appearance, it is rarely ever drawn unless Ve feels herself at absolute risk of danger. ■ The Lucky Clover: The Lucky Clover is one of two weapons Ve will carry on her. The short bow, adorned with a clover, is Ve's weapon of choice whenever she decides to head towards heavily wooded areas that would otherwise hinder her abilities. The thickened top portion of the bow has been used as a club before incase close quartered combat was inevitable. ■ Small Oaken Whistle: Ve carries on corded necklace, a small oaken whistle. No one has seen her use it but one such rumor is that Ve has the means of summoning a large beast to her aid whenever she is in trouble in the Black Shroud. ■ Gil Purse: Ve carries a small purse in which to hold her gil. There isn't a lot. ■ Personal Notebook: A small notebook that Ve carries. Inside of it is nothing but scribbles and odd drawings. Should one get their hands on this and flip through it, maybe they can find out more about Ve and her mask? RP Limits I like to consider myself a flexible player who is willing to commit to a number of different types of scenes and role-play scenarios, but even I have my limits. When it comes to combat RP I am fine with either rolls or freeform. I usually base Ve's losses anywhere between 6 or 7 successful rols against her to avoid long drawn out fights. If you wish to go longer, communicate with me and we can have fun! ■ I will play The villain/antagonist or the betrayer. Ve was created to be a mysterious character with villain-esque intentions. Mature content (Excessive Language) and themes dealing with: Violence, Kidnapping, Drug or Alcohol use or abuse, Torture. These must be story driven or used as character developement for your toon! ■ Ask about Long-term and/or permanent injury. Long-term captivity or imprisonment. Rape and character death plots. ■ I won't play Pure heroics except for those she's close to. I don't want her to die anytime soon so her death is on hold if never. IF you want her to be a hero or some savior be prepared for her to do it for underhanded reasons or at the risk of bystanders. Anything that results in the destruction of her mask since it is vital to her character. You can knock it off, remove it by her consent or have her remove it but it will not be destroyed or stolen until I feel it has served its purpose for Ve's character. Godmoding. If your character is omnipotent being with no real reason as to why other than you saying so, I will Godmode right back to avoid further conflict to Ve. Anything that forces Ve to be OOC. RP Hooks While the below is by no means comprehensive, it's a kind of spring board for walk-up RP. Longer plots that are meant to run for more than a few quick RP's, please feel free to send me a tell so we can work out a good reason for our characters to get to know one another. I'm always looking for RP, unless I'm actively spamming PvE content. ■ Bounty Hunting ■ Monster Hunting ■ Ruin Exploration ■ The Black Shroud ■ Aether Knowledge ■ Artifact Collector ■ A night on the town (Don't expect much from her) ■ Ingredient Hunting ■ Sparring Matches
