Appearance

Aya is a Hyuran woman no older than perhaps her early twenties. Despite this fact, her hair is silver, typically kept either shoulder-length or long. Her eyes would be described as a stark magenta. She also bears pale skin, and black tribal-like markings on her shoulders, down her back, and down her sides. You know... when you can see those features, I guess.

History

Pre-Calamity


 The information in this section is currently a sensitive secret, knowledge of which could alter the behavior of players. It has been redacted and will be added as it is revealed during play. 


Post-Calamity


Unfortunately, Aya doesn't currently remember anything prior to the Calamity - most likely, she hit her head pretty hard, because she woke up some old swamp somewhere with nothing but the clothes on her back and the staff in her hands. She had black markings along her skin, and context clues have led her to believe that she was probably a thaumaturge or Black Mage who tried to protect herself from the Calamity - if not try to help stop it. But, obviously, something went very wrong with her magicks, and it blew up in her face (probably literally).


However, following the Calamity, Aya only knew that she wanted to keep anything like the Calamity from ever happening again. Knowing that this was dark magick at work, she decided to set her eyes on only the darkest types of knowledge - and to make sure that it could never hurt anybody again, as long as she could help it. She set about exploring Eorzea in search of such knowledge, eventually collecting the Miqo'te twins S'ami and W'khael Malkoh and helping them to learn about their own potent magicks. She has made many a friend along the way, and continues to do so.


After a year or so of careful trading and diligent work, Aya saved up enough to buy her and her cultist followers/friends/allies an old manor house in Ul'dah - not conspicuously huge, but large enough to host travellers, hold her library, give S'ami room to practice her chemical experimentation, give W'khael room to practice his knifework, and still somehow fit a shark in the tank downstairs. She's named the 'hotel' 'Panda-Chan's Palace', in honor of the red panda that has been by her side not long since she awoke after the Calamity. Recently, she's been travelling between the Palace and a small cottage of exclusive witches/mages who live not far away; individuals who have an incredible amount of wonderful stories to tell and spells to practice.

Personality

Aya is the opposite of many stoic-type archetypes, in that she's very - even overly - friendly with people she doesn't know. If it's your first Time meeting her, she'll either give off one or two auras: very withheld, or very peppy, to the point that every word is accompanied by a happy smile ((she's even been known to curl into a ball and roll down the staircase as a potato, before)). She's probably one of the nicest black-magic-dabblers you'll ever find, actually. That being said, don't take her for naive - if you were to ask her about something deeper than flowers, or reveal some dark secret, you can trust her to be there for you.

Lately, after devoting more Time to studying beneficial magicks instead of harmful ones, Aya has become much calmer and more thoughtful. If you leave her to herself, she'll end up in her own thoughts in seconds, either watching others, or watching the stars. She enjoys the cold and the night, and as such, you'll often find her lying out in a field on a quiet night.

  • (PC) S'ami Malkoh: At the age of 14, S'ami first met Aya when Aya, weakened from the Calamity, came upon the even weaker Miqo'te healing in a cave with her cute pet rat. The two quickly became good friends as Sami helped Aya to better understand the layout of the land. Not long after this, Sami tagged along on Aya's adventures, following her all over Eorzea. Aya helps S'ami to experiment with conjury and alchemy, and gives her free reign of the Palace's workshops ((that totally exist somewhere that you guys just totally can't see.)).


  • (PC) W'khael Malkoh: Khael joined Aya Numi's travelling research group not very long after Sami did, when the two found him wandering around the Black Shroud in an absolute daze. Of course, it was later revealed that W'khael was S'ami's long lost twin brother, because of course he was, which basically means that Aya collected the whole set! Yay! Aya and Khael have worked together to understand his telepathy, and, due to his ability to sense any and all moving aethers, she'll occasionally send him on reconnaissance missions, as he's able to notice living beings before they even get close to him. She's also given him training as a rogue - though, she's well aware that he would never actually hurt a little ladybug.

Other Notes

Religion

Aya does not display any obvious idea of religion, but treats the gods as though they certainly exist. Of the Twelve, though, she seems to honor the Fury most of all, likely thanks to her Time in Ishgard.

Quirks

  • She will occasionally potato down the stairs; it's best not to question it.
  • If she feels comfortable with you, chances are that she'll lob a few playfully jabbing comments at you; feel free to throw some back! She loves a good back-and-forth.
  • She will often spend entire sessions just watching other people's interactions. If this happens, don't assume that she's bored! In fact, it may be quite the opposite; she may just be so enamored with your conversation that she doesn't want to intrude.
  • She will, 93% of the Time, have her pet red panda with her.

Known Haunts

You might have run into or otherwise know Aya from:

  • The Drunken Pumpkin (Goblet Ward 7 Plot 52!)
  • Walking around The Goblet and some of its own haunts
  • All of Ul'dah, really, though you're especially likely to come across her doing completely legal activities and sharing completely legal information in its shadows
  • Random fields and swamps, apparently; you might just trip over her

OOC Notes

Aya is now on Mateus! As always, feel free to poke me if you ever want to roleplay with her.

I also made her a Spotify playlist (https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2T8KC1c3QNUSvEWv7s87h9?si=jZgZLkwVSoqp4Rsg6bUm8Q)! Feel free to steal some songs for your own playlists, or give hers a listen; I made it to have a chronological sort of feel to it, to tell her story without written words.
