Okay, it goes something like this. Once, long ago, across countless seas...
Born on the coasts of Othard by the Ruby Sea, Aki was raised by her fisherman parents during a cautious time. The pressures of the Empire, however, drove them to take a large gamble, thus bringing the Shibunuri family to Eorzea when Aki was but ten years old.Difficult times were on the horizon, as Aki's parents had difficulty acclimating to the cultures and customs of the various city-states. Aki, being a more curious and flexible sort, took to her new world well, mastering the language and knowing when shady merchants would make attempts to dupe her family. Her perceived ignorance would be her weapon as she used her wits to act and play along.With the Seventh Umbral Calamity on the horizon, her parents decided that it would be better to die on their home soil rather than in this foreign land. Return for the three of them, however, proved to be beyond their means. However, the now-fifteen year old Aki sacrificed her own return trip, knowing that she could make it on her own in Eorzea far better than her parents ever could.Aki managed to survive, though things were difficult in the wake of the Calamity. By chance, she managed to stumble upon a group of apparent laborers led by a man named Syngihylt. Aki agreed to assist in their efforts to rebuild the realm in exchange for food and shelter.In truth, however, the community efforts of this band of laborers was merely volunteer work. The Grand Syngihylt is actually the leader of a travelling band of performers under the name "Troupe Phantasmagoria"! With much practice and refinement of her talents, Aki became the youngest member of the troupe, and certainly one of the most memorable!
What's the matter? Don't know how to have a conversation?
The Stage - The obvious hook. Perhaps you've seen her on a stage or in the streets performing some manner of play or dance.
The Far East - She hasn't been back to her homeland in quite some time. Being reminded of those familiar trappings might make her smile. Warning: incredibly authentic dishes might make her cry.
Places She Likes - Aki likes her smooth ales. She's also particularly fond of musical venues (NOT a blasted club with Twitch DJs, thank you), fine dining, and bathhouses, if she's comfortable enough.
Hating the Arts - She can take and understand criticism, but blatant heckling and disrespect to creators is something she can't stand.
Making Passes - Aki can be a flirt, undeniably. However, she's averse to your common sleaze. In general, commenting on her body, especially her rear, irritates her to no end.
Casual Cruelty - Though Aki likes to act outside the box, jokes that are too constant or go too far anger her. She also doesn't like people picking on children or animals.
Aren't you already looking at me? Well, if you really need to see more...
Hey, that's my song, yeah? Let's listen!
Rare is it when one takes more interest in the author over the work...
I prefer to do as much RP in Final Fantasy XIV as possible. Feel free to initiate anything as long as I have my tag on!
That being said, there are certain scenarios that may necessitate the use of Discord, such as unique settings or scenes with multiple NPCs. Should I feel comfortable, that can be an option as well.
Most themes are fine. Aki is a woman who lives in vibrant, diverse and adventurous world. So long as the scenario tickles my fancy, I'm willing to play it out. That being said...
Violence is dramatic. In Final Fantasy, conflicts are often resolved through violence. Aki, herself, is not dumb and travels with a weapon. However, she is a civillian, and not a very strong one. Though it's certainly possible that she may find herself in fights, if you're open to suddenly attacking her or putting her into a nasty situation for the sake of gratuitous violence, you should probably find someone else.
ERP and sexual themes are fine, provided the roleplay builds up to it in a significant and meaningful way. Such things are not bound to happen in an instant. If that's your solitary intention, be aware that you may be wasting your time if our characters don't click.
Most importantly, thank you for reading, and have fun! Don't take your RP too seriously, and don't take silly storytelling interactions to heart!
