Nationality... Born Ala Mhigan, current Ul'dahn citizen
Occupation... Sellsword
Alignment... Neutral good
Roskva Bloodbraids cuts an imposing figure-- at least until she's spoken to. Her deep tan skin and dark doe eyes mark her as a likely daughter of Ala Mhigo, but her musculature and scars say she's attempting to follow in the footsteps of the Bull to gil and glory. She stands at a considerable 6'2", and has cultivated the brawn to complete the image. She is naturally stocky in build, but her constant attention to her fitness has added quite a bit of bulk. Her skin is dotted in various scars, the fruit of a life of dangerous, low-wage work. The most notable are a long crescent across her stomach and a swirling burn scar that decorates her right shoulder.
Her glower is an art form, perfected by years of standing behind Ul'dahn ladies and scaring off potential bothers. Despite her clear preference for coming off as frightening, as soon as she's off duty, she's a different person altogether. She's almost always smiling or laughing, regardless of her situation. There's the slightest hint of laugh lines already at the corners of her eyes. Her laugh is loud and hearty, accompanied by a low alto voice that's warm and sweet as honey. If someone has heard Roskva truly angry, they'll know it-- she's completely unable to keep her emotions from affecting her voice and mannerisms. She's clear when she's happy with someone, and she's clear when she's not.
She can most often be found in practical tunics and leggings, although she admits a particular love of leather jackets and steel-toed boots. Despite her masculine taste in clothing, Roskva pays impeccable attention to maintaining her fashionably disheveled appearance. Her hair is gelled into the perfect tousled waves, and her eyes are ringed with slightly smudged black kohl. She's not above slipping a wire under her collar to obtain the ideal, rumpled appearance-- she's had to pick some things up after working in Ul'dah for so long.

◢ Common Rumors - Easily overheard. Use these freely!
The Ul'dah guildleve: "She's an idiot. Good with an axe, yeah, but an idiot nonetheless."
Various blushing maids: "Roskva? Oh...! N-- no, I don't know her."
A page at the leatherworkers' guild: "How many leather jackets could she possibly need? What's she doing with them, burning them on purpose?"
◢ Uncommon Rumors -A little more difficult to hear. Use sparingly or ask first!
A Miqo'te waitress walking home in Ul'dah: "Roskva? Yeah, I know her. She tips well, and she always calls me 'love' when she's ordering! I hear she frequents the Wish. Maybe I should pull my blouse a little lower next time she's in, see if that works..."
A grumbling, drunken Gridanian: "She punched me in the nose. You fuckin' see? Look, it's crooked now. I didn't even do anything, she's just touchy. Really."
A whistling dock worker: "I saw her sparring a few days back. Kicked me mate right into the gutter, she did. I'm never gonna let 'im live that one down!"
◢ Rare Rumors -Very rarely overheard. Please ask before using!
A curious merchant in Fallgourd Float: "Bright red chocobo? Stupid grin? I saw 'er, yeah, with some caravan. The wagons looked like shite. I don't know why anyone would go toward Gyr Albania, what with the occupation. She dead, I take it?"
An older woman in Little Ala Mhigo: "Oh, right. That's the one what's always coming by with sacks of gil for her folks. Lucky bastards- you know how hard it is to make any money in that awful city?"
A whispering Lalafell in Ul'dah: "So I can't believe her husband hasn't found out. Sleeping with the guard, of all people-- how crass. Oh! Eavesdropping, are you? Get moving, before I call the guards!"

◢ Player Character Rumors -Feel free to add rumors of your own!
■ I will play mature content and themes (violence, sexuality, drug / alcohol use) as long as they're logical in a plot-driven encounter. (If interested in a oneshot sexual scene, please /tell first, as I highly prefer story-driven RP but am sometimes interested.) Coarse and excessive language. Temporary injury and incapacitation. Temporary imprisonment. Most walk-up encounters.
■ Ask about long-term and/or permanent injury and disfigurement. Long-term captivity or imprisonment. Permanent character death-- this is rare, but acceptable in situations where it has been previously discussed with all parties present.
■ I won't play rape plots. Anything with a character described as a 'trap,' 'futa,' 'femboy,' etc. (Transgender characters are welcome, however! I just won't feed into harmful and violent tropes that impact transgender people in the real world.)
Disclaimer
■ If any aspect of RP makes you uncomfortable in a scene we're playing, please send me a /tell, letting me know. I am also happy to discuss triggers and limits before any scene, regardless of whether or not it is a sexual or violent one. Whether or not the trigger is common or 'reasonable' matters little - if it's a trigger to you, I'll do my best to be respectful of it.
