Hi there! I go by   Rev or Esper    (she/her) - any of those aliases will work for me. I like RPing most themes, from slice-of-life, adventure, combat, romance, dark and mature RP. I prefer not to RP with anyone below the age of 21. Overpowered characters, voidsent-born, genetically engineered, Warrior of Light, Scion or echo oriented characters - you may do whatever you wish, but leave my character off your list of potential contacts. IC does not equal OOC.  Hooks are important.    No metagaming or godmodding. What you read in this carrd should not be applicable knowledge to your character. Lore bending OK, lore breaking is a no-no.

short faq

  Do you require Mare?    No. I work too hard on this character not to have IC vanilla glams. I'm very console friendly.

  Can we headcanon pre-written history?    No.

  Do you pursue romance RP currently?    Read here.

  Honor system or dice roll?    I prefer dice roll with a simple d20 to keep things fair. The honor system only works for my close friends whom I have RPed with and trust. No godmodding or permanent maim/injury even death. I use combat as a tool to further develop relationships.

  ERP?    Nope, we are good. I may be able to redirect you to a brothel or two, if that is what you are looking for!

  PERSONALITY    Not as outgoing as you might expect, Slaine is very much a lone wolf in his own right. In private, the man is strictly disciplined with his routine for good reason. He is diligent, open minded and hard-working. More often than not, he abides by rules at face value.  VIERA   Despite his general appearance and Eastern flavor, Slaine very much carries on the traditions and attitudes of his people. For all he may reject, he cannot completely erase his blood, or his upbringing.

† biography

Slaine is a Veena Viera originating from the Muruc Village in the Skatay Foothills. Born and raised to be a Warder (Guardian) of great prowess, Slaine chose an unconventional path for your average Viera. Instead of embracing his destiny of protecting his people, he decided to enlist as a soldier. He rarely speaks of his past in detail. Nowadays, he works in several places to make ends meet–whether that be gathering information, bodyguarding, or hosting at a late night club–Slaine finds himself in a variety of situations. One thing is clear, his primary objective is to find a lost artifact of his past through any means necessary. Even if it costs him mountains of gil.

† appearance

  •   eyes    pale blue, pale white

  •   hair    red (dyed), white (original)

  •   languages    common, vieran (skatay dialect), old hingan (broken)

  •   weapon    zantetsuken

  APPEARANCE    Slaine is a taller height for male Viera. He is a lean and fit man that pays close attention to harmony between mind and body--training is of utmost importance to the Viera. His body is conditioned meticulously for endurance purposes. Most other Mist-sensitive Viera would recognize that he has a much weaker constitution and compensates by a constant, disciplined level of training. Slaine has an intricate and colorful irezumi tattoo on his right shoulder down to his arm; it does not signify an allegiance to a particular criminal group.

bonds

† sinead bellerose

—  half sister, menace

Related by blood and recently discovered, Slaine finds himself trying to understand his long lost sister. Slaine is protective of his older sibling and always bails her out of bad situations.

† mori

—  companion, pet

A stray silkie that Slaine found in Thanalan that refuses to leave his side. His car's detailer. The name "Mori" was given to it by Slaine. Mori sleeps comfortably knowing that The Night Runner is spotless.

† cazu kubaya

—  close friend

A sister-like figure in Slaine's life. While their relationship is seemingly tumultuous and rowdy on the surface, Slaine harbors a deep care for Cazu's happiness and well-being.

† seraphina cantatrix

—  employer...

A Raen he met on a chance encounter has now become his employer. She assists in providing information (at a great fee) to help further his personal goals. He can't seem to satiate his curiosity about her.

† Yira Zwhan

—  confidant, fortune teller

Slaine finds a lot of comfort and solace in Yira's advice. After Yira shed light on details of his father's whereabouts, he finds himself drawn to her wisdom and ability to read the stars. She is a definite visit when he is in Tural.

hooks

† children of othard

If not already apparent, Slaine has a massive influence from Far Eastern culture and is happy to continue learning about the different islands of Hingashi, as well as The Ruby Sea. He would be open to many interactions with other characters of this background, especially other Samurai.

† iaijutsu

Characters that may enjoy sparring and meditation mixed into sessions will enjoy this hook. He is a combative character but an all-around good sport. His happy place is when he is training and will find good companionship in others of the same mindset.

† the lifestream

Death is a fascinating topic for Slaine. He has his own personal reasons for pursuing the rift between life and death. Characters who can connect with such individuals from the grave beyond will catch his interest. It is a rare hook and will not easily be discussed, unless your character proves to have good credentials.

† magitek engineering

Slaine has quite a few magitek vehicles in his stable. When not training his body or working other jobs, he is making routine maintenance and repairs on all of them. He has a specific interest in exploring Garlean wastelands of magitek junk and beyond, as well as black market items. If your character can assist with parting out old decommissioned warmachina, he would be greatly interested in it!

romance?

I hate writing huge paragraphs about this. I want to preface this by saying NO MEANS NO. remember this for any type of roleplay you are trying to pursue. All my characters are monogamous by choice and will not participate in polyamory, harems, or open relationships. Do not mix IC and OOC, I am happily engaged.Slaine is canonly single, I'm not sure if he's looking at the moment, but I am open to anything. Character chemistry is important so it's best you not force it. I do not multi-ship but my other OCs are in other romances. I GPOSE a lot of OOC situations or just "pretty" pictures with friends. If any of that bothers you, it's best to not bring up your interest in romancing him. I play the slow burn game and if that's not your style, feel free to move on.

  Character-specific notes    Slaine is heterosexual, meaning he is attracted to AFAB/female presenting characters. He has a racial preference for Viera but I am open to anything. I don't regularly ERP and prefer fade to black to move story along.
