General Information
Bound by the belief that every spark of life is woven together by the threads of fate, Lorelei seeks every chance she can to untangle these threads. She knows the signs, can read the stars when they guide, and can sometimes see an interconnectivity between wishes and needs, but struggles to make a difference with her skills. Not one to want to change the world, she desires to make tiny ripples that will, perhaps once day, affect more than just any one person. Her own threads are intangible, unforeseen in every attempt, and so she tries to see a glimpse when scrying for others. Being of service to others might unlock clues to her own destiny, and that hope keeps her moving forward.
If I ask the cards, will you listen to what they say?
Appearance
Hair & Eyes
Eyes that view the sky are of the sky; crystal blue. Ash blonde hair that has been kissed by the desert sun almost streaked white, kept out of her face with fringe.
Physique & Markings
Toned by youthful days of hard work, and present daily training in the art of defensive fighting. Skin is sun-kissed red in various spots, most noticable over cheeks and nose. Caloused hands with deep scars that wrap around some of her fingers, most decorating her first fingers and thumbs. A few large crater scars on her back, looking to be from something round and sharp.
Hygiene & Attire
While the body is clean, most times her clothes are not. Dust and dirt seem to stay with her since her days in Gyr Abania, and she doesn't seem to have any care about it. Prefers to bathe over shower, in oils of lavender.
Personality
Psychological Profile
INFJ The Advocate. Extravert(6%) iNtuitive(47%) Feeling(25%) Perceiving(3%). INFJ's tend to see helping others as their purpose in life, but while people with this personality type can be found engaging rescue efforts and doing charity work, their real passion is to get to the heart of the issue so that people need not be rescued at all. They are decisive and strong-willed, but will rarely use that energy for personal gain – INFJs will act with creativity, imagination, conviction and sensitivity not to create advantage, but to create balance. Creative. Insightful. Determined and Passionate. INFJs like to know that they are taking concrete steps towards their goals, and if routine tasks feel like they are getting in the way, or worse yet, there is no goal at all, they will feel restless and disappointed.
Voice
Soft spoken, temperate. Mild hint of soft t's and hard a's from Gyr Abanian dialect. Ideal voice choice: Lily James

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.

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. If something is on the play list, assume it means yes, as long as it's within the context of the current play or ongoing plot. No's are typically a hard no, and it means don't ask.
I will play just about anything mature within reason.
Ask about injuries, dependences, and relationship advancements.
I won't play permanent death, intentional abuse, or rape plots.
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.
■ Lorelei actually enjoys the busy, hectic streets of Ul’dah, and can be found around the main strip, and/or inside the Quicksand most of the time.
■ Lived in Ala Gannha for a brief period in her youth with her family.
■ Sells her services as a card reader around Thanalan on a daily basis, sticking to the towns and ports.
■ An active member of the Pugilist Guild in Ul’dah, training every day.
■ Is obsessed with treasure maps. Of all kinds.
OOC Notes
Player Information
Player Note
There is a lot of information on this character wiki, but it is by no means completely comprehensive. There are chunks of backstory that are left intentionally vague so that details can be later added as developed through creative writing or in role-play revelation. Feel free to use Common or Uncommon rumors freely, if you want to use a Rare Rumor as a plot hook or to spark RP, I would ask that you send me a tell first, to make certain it's alright. The line in between IC and OOC is very important to me. While I do seek to make friends and connections OOC, it might be quite the opposite IC, and that should always be considered separately. For the most part I'm usually focused on my characters, and while I do love to 'shoot the shit' I prefer to focus on in-game things when I'm in-game. I do not use other means of messaging to RP, so reaching me is restricted to in-game. If ever there is a time that I do or say something that makes you uncomfortable, please /tell me at once. No, I will not be hurt or offended, but relieved that I can make amends(if allowed) for my transgression.
