about
yahallo! my name is ru, and i have only gotten into xiv rp in like 2022.
i'm from asia, but english is my first language (though i do use uk english) so i do apologise in advance if certain terms and grammar usage might seem different, or if i get mixed up between them. i can converse in basic mandarin and japanese as well!

preferences
Due to a lot of my muses backgrounds, I am preferential to darker and more mature themes for them; but it is not limited to just such! i am all for casual and light rp, and would love to be a part of helping your muse build their story. i am above 21, and would only prefer rp partners who are as well. if you happen to be a minor, please do not interact for your own comfort and mine, thank you!

things to avoid
I do not tolerate bigots with regards to race, gender, or sexual discourse at any capacity. I do not interact with people who choose to lewd lalas/minors. if you make me uncomfortable, i will block you and move on. please do the same.most of my muses are already in established ships and will not be available for that. please do not insist, and do not try to rp with me just to force rp or art/gposes from me. It hurts my feelings, and I'd rather make a more genuine connection than fulfil someone's goal of getting something for themselves at my expense. You will also incur a lot of wrath from my friends, so I will kindly advise you to cease and move on.

before you engage
Please understand that I'm mostly reserved and shy - but it does not mean I am uninterested! I am riddled with anxiety, but I wholeheartedly want to meet more people and make more like-friended friends.when it comes to art, Please do not repost/use mine or my friends' work anywhere.when it comes to collabs: i am currently not accepting any collab work unless you're close friends to do gpose trades with, due to my desire to want to focus on my own work. that being said, all collabs are non-canon unless discussed in advance.

     fact      is a vessel for his voidsent, aeshma.
     fact      he is a very light sleeper.
     fact      scars run along his ribs and forearm.
     fact      not allowed in the bokairo inn onsen.

adon is a man of few words. his past is known to only the very handful that he trusts, but not even he knows everything. borne of a raen and xaela, his scales are predominantly onyx in nature, but his other half shines through - creating golden edges that once caused a rift between his family and their tribes. presiding in the far east, the man is familiar with the various dialects and goings-on both above and in the dark -- with many aware of the ferocious half-raen's deeds within the city.'the croc of kugane', they crowned him.ruling the dark, quiet alleys of kugane, behind the mechanical cogs of the scarlet syndicate as a leader, adon will do anything to keep the peace in his city, his way. at first glance, adon appears intimidating to most. he tries to buffer this by offering an exceedingly courteous disposition.

     fact      can scan for someone's public records.
     fact      when critically injured, help is alerted.
     fact      is top 10 in crystalline conflict online.
     fact      is the only person to beat rune at chess.

the mind of the syndicate is one who guards their secrets carefully. bishop, their savant black hatter, has spent years enhancing his body to fight against death that had tried to claim him all those years ago. he will not speak on what has transpired, but judging from his avid fear of blood and violence, one can easily surmise the man did not have an easy past. he does not remember the incident, nor does he recall much of the past before that. all he knows now is that he works for rune, and he takes great pride in it.at present, he possesses a weak frame and has no capability to defend himself in a fight, and relies on calling for help with his console should anything go awry.

a looming shadow. a quiet horror. no matter how you look at him, altan is a force to behold. the mountain that holds a potentially dormant volcano, or a storm of emerald ready to strike; the chimera has many hidden terrors beneath the silent demeanour he lets on. he's usually found drinking or around a certain smaller xaela man on missions together. despite the glum face, he is not quick to anger, but target his mark and you will find the reason why his toxin is worse than his bite.

     fact      used to play the harpsichord well.
     fact      constantly looks sullen/annoyed.

occasionally churlish, this cold yet unassuming doctor is sorely lacking in bedside manners, but he easily makes up for it in skill. his ability to mend wounds seems near miraculous, though his real talent lies in extraction. of what, exactly? murmurs and whispers will ask you to reconsider. your certainty will be questioned, but pray not your sanity be lost.he's a bit sour isn't he? you'd be sour, too, if you had to live with what he does. do you even know what he lives with? not precisely. i have learned not to ask questions.then, how do you know? tell me of the last time you've seen that brass hand of his taken off. a glove? a prosthetic? no one knows. prosthetics are nothing to be wary about. his brass hand is, for the most part, a mystery - but sometimes you'll hear a creak. pay attention to where you are, child, no one here can fit nice and tight with the surface. he is no exception."i've heard he takes lives to give it to others." "i heard he killed his own kin for power." pay attention to where you are, child, no one here can fit nice and tight with the surface. he is no exception. be wise in the questions you may wish to glean from him, for no man with a happy past would look that agonized.dr morneux is well-read in gelmorran history, but he will rarely disclose how much of the ruins has opened themselves to him. the research he has amassed is both a weapon and a shield. and in his case, knowledge truly is power.what are you willing to give, hmm?...are you desperate enough?
