Traits:

  • Distinct Absense of Aether: it is as if the viera doesn't exist except in the physical sense of the word. Any with aether sense simply would fail to perceive him with this ability. In fact, unless actively making himself known, he tends to go unnoticed a lot of the time.

  • Bit of Chaos: His personality tends to be a bit random. Sometimes shy and timid and hiding behind a trusted person. other times bubbly and friendly and trying to engage with all around him. He also tends to take on the general mood of a group, and at times even echo the mood of someone displaying strong emotions.

  • Blunt to a Fault: He says what he thinks as he thinks it, including comments - observations - questions - the works. He doesn't get the point of lying or hiding things and it leaves little to use against him. However he also has a lot of curiosities about the world and refuses to accept that asking questions could ever be wrong.

  • Connection to the Dead: He's more in tune with spirits, the dead or dieing, and other entities than he is to the living. It's his crafts, trade, specialty.

  • Calming aura: Rune always seems to have this sense of calm about him, even when he's action like a hyper goof. Step close enough and it's like all your worries are little troubles and the world is at peace.

The Past

  • Origins: Born to a secluded clan of viera deep within the jungles of a vast mountain range. The start to his life was warm and filled with love but it lasted only a decade before the darkness began to claim his heart.

  • Spirit Keeper: Opposing role to those who were blessed with great aetheric abilities. The Keepers would guard the dead, the ancient spirits, and form bonds with these entities. Turning their backs on the living to protect tradition and the ancestors.

  • Tragedy: A distaster struck the territory, forcing Rune and his brother to flee. The one living soul he had any connection to. However shortly after they had left their home, they were separated. Death #1

  • Cult Life: Not knowing the ways of the world, Rune was taken in and used by a cult. Breaking free left him broken, cursed, and fighting for his life. Death #2

  • Curses: He began with six, now he has 1 thanks to the efforts of various groups and individuals. Over time it's become apparent that breaking them has side effects, usually good...sometimes quirky. It's slowly added some wholesome charm to the otherwise dark and dreary man.

Ability Break Down

  • Dynamis: All of Rune's abilities use dynamis exclusively. Not a trace of aether to be found. To be full clear, he's around 99% dynamis. Do with that information as you will.

  • Summons: He has bonded with various spirits, each only able to be summoned in a specific region. Some regions he has none but his guardian and a few general ability summons, other times he has monsters or mayhem makers who come to his aid.

  • Emotions: He can, if needed, manipulate emotions. This is a skill he has recently started to focus on and work to really hone. usually this presents in general aoe type effects unless he is physically touching the person he wishes to effect.

  • Weapons: Scythe, daggers, short swords, bo-staff, and a few others.

Recent Developments

  • Curses: Recently, curses #4 & 5 were broken thanks to the efforts of one he has grown quite close to and their trusted close one in turn. The connection flowing between the three allowed magics to break and emotions to flow forth. Starting as a bubbling brook and soon a rushing river, Rune has become quite the friendly bun overnight it seems.

  • Work: He quit working for the library, leaving that chapter behind and embracing the newfound work with another group for a short while, however that too did not work out and now he's decided to take his experiences and knowledge and work with a beloved friend to make a place all his own to welcome people like him and others who society tends to shun or even who simply don't find they quite fit into the general public spaces.

  • Love: HHis first love was a bit confusing and all over the place and ended abruptly. Now though new love blooms, and he's slowly learning to open his heart to another little by little.

  • Friends: Starting fresh, his friends list is a bit empty again. However just as love blooms anew, so do friendship bud and blossom!

  • WIP

Expectations

  • Writing: Paragraph at minimum please, no singular sentence or less in a response. If there's a heavy dialogue scene it tends to be fine, but every post it tends to dry the writing out and leave me with nothing to work with. Grammar, as long as I can understand things over-all, I'm not picky about.

  • Lore: Creative takes are welcomed and encouraged, as long as I can picture your character in the FF universe, I'm perfectly happy to write with them. Sometimes I might need a bit of clarity, but most of the time I'm fairly chill.

  • Location: I prefer in game writing these days, supplementing here or there with discord when life gets chaotic. Emphasis on supplementing and not falling into entirely. I'm located on NA - Mateus - Crystal, though happy to travel to any NA DC. My time zone is CST, availability from 5pm onwards until 2am, unless I have FC duties. Sundays are typically family days.

  • Communication: As long as you poke me OOC from time to time, I tend to not worry over hiatuses or absences. However if I cease to get a response for over a month, I tend to close things and will send a "closing RP DM" to inform you. Also if something is wrong, you're uncomfortable, or simply lose interest...talk to me so we might mend what can be or end things on friendly terms.

  • The Usual: No lalafell romance from me, no minors unless apprentices and even then it's rare, consent for all other themes and topics must be given and clear boundaries discussed OOC before attempting to write into a scene.

Hooks

  • Occult: He's know to help those the world would desire dead just for being what they are. He's also known to assist with troublesome spirits, or helping to restore an area to appease them.

  • Dynamis: Always looking for more people who utilize this power source and seeing the creative ways people's characters make use of it.

  • Themes: Any and all are welcomed, from fluff to horror, comedy to heavy combat, slice of life to dastardly adventure and more

  • World Travel: Rune is always looking for any excuse to see new parts of the world, so come to him to ask for protection or just someone to have alongside for the adventure

OOC Information

  • I am Vixx, I am 30+ years old (you can contact me on discord -> evilvixxen <-)

  • I've been doing RP since I was 10, I grew up in Harry Potter forums and WoW RP guilds

  • Moved to FFXIV about 5 years ago, where I met my IRL partner

  • I have 2 teenage boys who I give most of my time to when not online

  • I'm not looking for romance OOC, nor am I looking for drama

  • Aside from certain situations (like an apprentice, or babysitting someone's kid) I tend to not engage with minors in writing. Please don't fake your age, it always shows eventually.

  • I'm fairly chill with most things, if you've questions or ideas, please throw them my way as I love to brainstorm scenes and gush about characters!~
