Ruby Redstone
[edit]
Ruby Redstone is a fun loving teen doing her best to live her life in Ul'dah. Ruby is a light hearted, usually friendly Auri Xaela girl. When first met she can seem a bit out going and loud. She always means well and does her best to make sure everyone she knows is comfortable, even after first meeting. Ruby confuses a lot of people at first. Her body doesn't match her age, at least not for how time flows in Eorzea. She was born in Eorzea on The Source only a few years ago, though her body is that of seventeen cycles. This is due to a kidnapping her and her brother endured to The First when they were still just babies. Their parents were able to find a way to travel to The First, to the time they were taken, and without a proper way back to The Source, Ruby and her brother were raised in Norvrandt on The First. For what was fourteen years on The First was only two months on The Source. So while Ruby was only two years old when she was kidnapped, she was returend as a proper teenager. Because of this, Ruby has mannerizms that differ a bit from those of The Source, though many find that as part of her charm. On top of her funny curses from a different world, she is also bilingual thanks to her father. Now doing her best to learn indipendance, Ruby now lives in the city of Ul'dah at the Quicksand finding work at the Coleseum. She's already made a few friends and even has her first real crush, but she still has so much to learn about her home world and the people who live in it.
Ruby considers herself to be both tomboy and girly at the same time. She finds ways to kind of mesh the two styles together. She isn't very fond of dresses, though she can be convinced, but she does love painting her face with make up. If she had the choice she would probably wear mostly pirate or steam punk asthetics. Just like her father. And because of her mother she loves to dye her hair.
Open-minded. Intelligent. Extraverted. Ruby often considers herself the life of the party, though if she were honest she hasn't been to many. Though she has found it easy to make friends once she became more indipendent. She doesn't have any fear that she'll look like a fool when introducing herself to others, and has no problem walking up to strangers. She tends to reserve her judgments of people until she gets to know them a little better, and prefers to make up her own opinions rather than just believe in what someone else tells her. She seems to always has energy and loves to be with friends. She often finds herself lonely at night in her room. Aside from just people, Ruby is very curious and is very intelligent, sometimes too much for her own good. She would rather discover the truth of something for herself before just believing a rumor. If something piques her interest she will often chase that interest until it gives her all the information it can. Compassionate. Brave. Creative. Along-side that craving for information, Ruby is also very creative and kind. If she is faced with a problem she will do her best to find a solution rather than just give up. You put a wall in her way and she'll do her best to knock it down. On the flip side of that she absolutely refuses to be held back. If she is told no she will look for any loophole or even break the rules entirely. She cannot be held back creatively, or physically. Aside from being so headstrong in the field, Ruby does know how to relax. Though how she relaxes may not always be what others consider "relaxing," her down-time activities do allow her to unwind and release some tension in her muscles and thoughts. She believes that everyone should take time to have a good look at themselves and take time for themselves.
Ruby is skilled in many different forms of combat, though her favorite is with her explosive fists. Ruby can be considered a "Jack-of-all-Trades" when it comes to combate as she has been trained on just about any weapon - though she is most proficient with her fists or a sword. Ruby does consider herself a well rounded combatant and able to easily adjust to new fighting styles, even adapting said styles to suit her own. She is currently a gladiator in the Coliseum in Ul'dah and her favorite fighting style is hand to hand combat, though her hands either burn with fire or explode, and she moves effortlessly and quickly with ice on her feet. (She combines black magick with her monk style fighting.) She loves to spar and will never back down from a challenge.
*Some of Ruby's background may intentionally be left undeveloped or even not there to leave room for growth. Should new ideas arise, or anyone wish to be a part of Ruby's past, the openings are there to fill.

Listed here are the non-family characters, both PC and NPC, that Ruby has interacted with enough or in such a way for her to form a real opinion about them. Please don't take personal offense if your character isn't listed here, or how the interaction or relationship is described. It isn't that I dislike your character or our RP. I just tend to only add these as necessary for those who make a real impact on Ruby, and descriptions are purely based upon in character experiences and opinions! If you think there is a mistake, please message me! * An asterisks denotes that Ruby doesn't know the individual's true name.
These are mostly backstory-related relationships.

The player or mun of Ruby has low self-confidence combined with a desperate need to RP. Unfortunately these things don't mix, and so I don't get the RP I seek all of the time. This is also paired with the fact that I RP when I'm bored, or have any kind of spare time (even if it's just five minutes). Please never feel like you are a bother to me! Do not be afraid to come to me looking for RP! I accept walks ups and tells in game, and I RP over Discord as well. Aside from that, I am also an artist! I do take commissions on occasion, just ask! I promise I wont bite, and I try to work with you every step of the way. Again, please do not be afraid to tell me something. But that is a discussion for another time. I am in my twenties, working five days a week and have little time to actually RP or do a lot of stuff in game. I try my hardest to always be attentive and I reply to everyone's messages as soon as possible! I do try to be in game when I can, and I am constantly on Discord (Fayne#7298)! I try to be very understanding and open-minded, and I hate conflict. I am always trying to improve myself, so if you see anything wrong or weird, please tell me and I will try to fix it.
