[edit] Character RP Hooks Tendancies Screenshots & Art Relationships and Rumors Links & Footnotes Character ♦ In-Game Brief HELLO, HI. This page is a HUGE WIP. I'm basically just placeholdering everything until I slowly fill it in. So uh. I apologize for the mess and lack of Actual Info about this guy right now. A lot here is basically me making fun of my character. It will get better soon, I promise. As for a summary... Yorumei is a divining, wandering, witchy strategist lord of shite. He's beauty, he's grace, he's freakin terrible and I am so sorry you may have met him. Yorumei's a man of many talents when he isn't gambling, drunk somewhere, wandering through the woods, or doing gods know what singing hauntings into clear, starry nights. Often, a subtle wind can be felt in his presence, and he is likely to be heard by tunes he hums or the small chiming bells he adorns himself with before he's seen. The Raen has a number of witchy tendencies alongside, a notable proficiency in some 'magics', and ever seems interested in people watching. The topic of something new to learn, especially in the Aetherical department, is like to grab his attention. But currently, his horns are far more turned toward matters of refugees, smugglers, and what's happening with the Garlean empire. One could guess that he might be desperately looking for something, or someone, like so many others that came over from Doma once upon a time. But then again, it might only be a guess. Perhaps he wants to lay a curse, or fortell the fate of some poor, hapless soul. Gods only know with how strange this one is. ■ Open for Walkups when: There's a W in Player Search Info. ■ In general, please send a tell first! ■ Yor is a shitelord. You have been warned. ■ Click the RP Hooks tab above for a few ideas if you're looking for a reason to play with Yorumei. Or just talk to me! We'll figure something out. A Small General Drabble When plans fall apart... Some plans fall quietly; they seep in and make little changes, tiny adjustments, and you don’t see it at first, amidst the mist covered finery brought in- but when you do, when the smokey veil pulls away from your eyes, it’s already too late. And quietly to the oceans far away, once glorious plans and fates and destinies are primed to fall as ashes. Some plans fall with the sound of floors smashed in, vases that held the last remaining memories of home shattered just like the withering contents within. A crash and a yell and drops of blood on what was meant to be a fresh start. They’re loud at first, and then without a sound or a warning, once determined plans and fates and destinies pack themselves up and vanish into the trees. When plans fall apart, they always leave little clear shards that stick in feet run bare. They reflect starlight and hope and what you wished, knew, would be. Yet each step taken is but another reminder of how they turned silently to ash, or shattered and splintered and now wedge themselves further and further in. And they never let you forget. Yorumei is many things. Has always been many things, greedy, prideful, unable to stop and to settle with just one, or even a few. And now, more than ever, he is also a weaver of plans who’s plans all fell apart. Now, more than ever, he reaches for what was always denied him: a chance at learning who he is beneath all he was meant to be, and finding again someone he never meant to lose in the ashes. Appearance He's too hot. (Hot damn.) Motivation Everything he does is for The Plan. That weird creature he brought home that has not stopped skittering along the ceiling yet? The Plan. Pulling out half the neighbor's vegetables from their garden to arrange in the other neighbor's lawn in a ritual circle? The Plan. Vanishing for days on end into the woods (or maybe the Golden Saucer)? The Plan. Don't worry. He knows what he's doing. A list of accurate traits include: Why, help, what are you even doing, DON'T YOU DARE PUT THAT NEAR ME YOR OR SO HELP ME, yodeler, wanting more than this provincial life, too hot, (hot damn), he will pick you up don't tempt him, criminal, white wizard divining witch weirdo, weaver of auguries, gambling son of a crimelord, liar, man of many faces, UP UP. RP Hooks and Potential Connections General ■ He's beauty, he's grace, he laughs like a jackal and slaps tables too much. ■ He totally wants to wrestle. Punch him. Have him start the barfight you always wanted. ■ He may or may not have a different act every time you meet him. (Try to collect them all!) ■ He will give you a weird story to tell your friends later, maybe. ■ He's into some odd magical practices and... at least seems to know what he's doing. He'd certainly welcome those of similar persuasion. ■ He's got a plan, and is very willing to make you part of it. ■ He wanders quite often, but all in all, is still pretty new to Eorzea. Anything you can show him or tell him about the place will be taken with interest. Also, he's potentially lost. ■ Want something spelled, enchanted, or otherwise Aetherically modified? That old, sentimental, 'lucky' heirloom armor just not as lucky as it used to be? Look no further, he will work magic (literally) into the item you possess to grant what you ask for! ... For a small price, of course. ■ Though his sister makes a little part of her business by it, Yorumei will also occasionally perform Readings for those who catch his interest (or entice him with some favors). There is no denying that anyone who finds themselves with one will certainly get something out of it. . . ((This requires OOC communication, but I'd be happy to provide catalysts for your character's plots this way. Just let me know what you want, or if you want to be surprised.)) Family ■ If your character is a CRIMINAL then maybe they would want to join this family. Maybe they do even if they aren't a criminal. ■ If your character is from this weird village, maybe they'd know the Uranakeis. ■ Idk we'll work something out. Currently Looking For ICly ■ MORE THAN THIS PROVENCAL LIFE. ■ Someone who truly understands the merits of yodeling at siblings and kin at 5 in the morning. ■ Info on the status of a friend he... lost track of in Doma. During an escape from Garlean occupation. Oops. Ironically, getting him to talk directly about this incident might prove difficult, so this in itself is an endeavor. ■ Anyone he can make useful. Don't worry, he'll find a way. ■ Those who have a strong interest in Aether. He would like to learn wherever he can. ■ Contacts that have any propensity of furthering the Family's goals. ■ Someone who can provide him with a rideable chocobo. He doesn't even care how, but he's looking to make it happen. And if you can aid in this endeavor, he'd be happy to speak with you. ■ Anyone interesting. No, really. He just enjoys being around people. OOCly ■ ... Trouble. Someone who will give him some conflict. Please punch him in the face for any reason you can come up with. ■ Friends. But uh. *laughs and sobs* ■ People he can give readings to. Not that he tends to just do that unless it's part of the plan, but it'd be pretty freakin great if someone could get one out of him. ■ ... Basically everything here and everything I forgot. Remind me of your idea, it might just be on here. Tendencies Likes ■ Family ■ His hair ■ His Job (when interesting) ■ His Body (sighs a lot) ■ Gambling ■ Challenges ■ White, Silver, Gold ■ Yodeling ■ The Woods ■ (String) Music ■ Aether ■ Picking up the Sister ■ The Sister in General ■ Starting Ridiculous Rumors About Kaiten ■ Kaiten in General ■ Travels with Mom ■ People Watching ■ Throwing People ■ WRASTLIN' ■ Divination ■ The Stars ■ The Heart of the Cards ■ THE PLAN ■ Being a vagabond wanderer, Yor please. ■ BRAWLIN ■ A lot of other things, LIVE AND LOVE LIFE.

Disgusting.) ■ Those who severely lack intelligence ■ Being Bored ■ Having Secrets Revealed ■ Being Disrupted when The Stars Are Doing A Thing ■ Being kept against his will ■ Non-flexible Schemes ■ GARLEANS ■ Getting in trouble caught ■ SHARING OF FEELINGS (without the use of throwing people) (gross.) Hobbies/Talents ■ Plotting: THE PLAN. ■ Acting: He can be anything you want him to be. ■ Info Gathering: From everyone, everything, all the time. ■ Divining: CHENGE UR FAET. ■ Gambling: I'm not addicted, you're addicted. ■ Completely Lacking Long-Term Ambition: He's really good at this, let me tell you. ■ Exploration and Travel: HOPELESS WANDERER. ■ Making Too Many Weaving Puns: Don't let him pull your strings. ■ Playing String Instruments: ...He just really likes strings, ok. ■ Card Tricks: Whether this extends to divining or not is up for debate. ■ Blowing Smoke Rings: Apt to stave off boredom for a few minutes; you take what you can get. ■ Aetherical 'Coaxing': Whether he's in control himself, or 'carrying out The Will' of.. gods know what is anyone's guess. ■ Dancing with the Wind: Or asking the wind to dance. Either or. ■ Knife Play: Only apt with blades shorter than his forearm. No, really. ■ Creepy Rituals: ... Shh. We don't talk about the creepy rituals. ■ Big Yodeler: He'll just break out into obnoxious songs at the most inopportune moments. Not even real songs either. Usually some weird ad-libbed thing to express his complete dismay with his current living situation. Or consequently, complete dismay with someone's life choices. On the less annoying (maybe) side, he does hum less beguiling tunes fairly often. He's a decent singer, at the very least. But pillows thrown at his face are the more likely reaction than wanting to hear his glorious serenades of longing for more. Weaknesses/Faults ■ Terrible: Everything is wrong with Yorumei, please. ■ Wasted Potential: The whole thing about 'once you get it you no longer want it' should be Yor's mantra. ■ Regular Liar: What are you talking about, he always tells the truth! ■ Morally Questionable: Certainly not above dubious or morally deplorable means to get what he wants. (It certainly wouldn't be completely deplorable though; if you're going to be disgusting, it's got to be done right.) ■ Vain: Some recent incidents have taken his overall arrogance down a few notches, but his selective vanity still thrives. ■ Fake it Till You Make it: Unless it's crucial, he won't tell you he doesn't know how to do something; he'll just pretend he can until he figures it out. ... Or not. Obviously this doesn't always provide the best outcome. This extends to assumptions other people openly make about him; sometimes he'll just take them and run with it as opposed to ever (willingly) revealing the truth. ■ Manipulative: While not entirely without empathy, he mostly uses this to his ends to get what he wants out of people. ■ Terrible with Swords: Or honestly, any weapon that isn't knives, a bo, a deck of cards, or his wit. Really. He's exceptionally bad. He will take a long sword and smack someone with it like a paddle, or lob it at them before showing any remote deftness with the thing. ■ Lofty: He can be vague as heck, using all manner of metaphor and strange word choice, especially when he starts going on about Aether, the stars, and other things of interest. Dissecting communication and quick problem-solving are some of his strongsuits, but boy, can he be difficult to understand for those who don't know any better sometimes. ■ Cold Realist: Oddly, for all his lofty ways, Yorumei's sense of 'what needs to be done' can supersede all manner of sympathies. He will sacrifice others and their wants with little to no remorse if he feels it 'needs to be done' or will result in 'the best possible outcome'. Family, however, supersedes this, but if family itself is in the way of its own success, he isn't afraid to let his thoughts on the matter be known. ...Consequently, the results of recent events have had Yorumei questioning this philosophy, but certainly not discarding it.

Or just will never tell. Relations (NPC)    Itsohei Matsukai ( ♥ ♦ ● ¿ ) - The Daring Spirit It's always hard to find the words to describe one's closest friends, until the first few are hesitantly, thoughtfully, plucked. Then the rest just spill out in falls and falls and never seem to stop. There seems to be too much to catch in mere phrases, because you always know that they're more than those words could ever really convey. That would be Itsohei to Yorumei. But once where he would at least try, let them spill, laugh at himself and choose carefully in case the words got back around to Itsohei and then Yorumei'd never hear the end of it... Everything's changed since the war. Everything always does. Now, even instead of a name, a slew of laughing incompetent phrases, the closest friend and self-appointed brother became what is not spoken of. Relations (PC)   Chise Tobukizu ( ♥ ♥ ● ) - Younger Sister of Stars Despite Yor's occasionally odd, and potentially frustrating antics, he cares a great deal for his younger sister. Their upbringing instilled a sense of the utmost importance in family, and so the siblings had grown up rather close since the start. The pair can speak with glances, easily discern the other's vaguer, share a very prominent 'family pout', and rely on the other in a number of ways. Especially since she's the ambitious one. She is the one who picks up near all of her 'errant genius' brother's abandoned achievements, and puts them to good use. And Yorumei has little problem sharing his gains and lifting her up, so long as it means something intriguing for him to do. Of course, for how well they get along, they're still siblings, and not at all without whining grievances of the other's behavior, little spats, getting chased by the other around the house for doing that thing one more time, and the occasional jab just for a reaction. But, especially now, Yorumei feels a strong loyalty to her, and a need to support his sister (and by extension, the family)'s endeavors however he can.   Kaiten Tobukizu ( ♥ ♦ ● ✖ ) - The Brother Lost Kaiten had been around since the Uranakei siblings were children, with his to-be arranged marriage with Chise. From the outside, it had always appeared that they'd had something of a friendly rivalry. Though Kaiten is younger than he, Yor was always rather tough on his brother in law; picking him up and tossing him around when he was nervous, instigating all manner of reaction from him, and for a while, instilling the 'fear of the Partner's Judging Older Brother' in him. However, Yorumei cares a great deal for Kaiten as well, likely more than Kaiten realizes. Though proud and fond of how far his 'sibling out of blood' has come, Yorumei still quite enjoys leaving a lot of this nebulous to see how well Kaiten can figure it out. ... in addition to enjoying starting ridiculous rumors about him.   Staelufre Lysmerl ( ♥ ♦ ●) - Hunter of the Blue Seas What an excellent, well-speeched Hunter of Seas.   Qara Qalli ( ♦ ●) - Curious Hunter of Strings What a strange, Reading hunter.   Yagaan Malaguld (  ♦ ●) - Doctor of Ashes What a curious, skilled doctor.   Hannah Miller ( ♦ ●) - The Learning Shadow What a good, sneaky smol.   Abeodan Silverbrand ( ♠ ●) - The Rose Boy What a loud, violent child.   Seitsuda Gladepetal ( ●) - The Reckless Warrior What a nervous, but grateful customer.
