OOC Info

Hello! I'm Fairly new to FFRP but not a stranger to role playing myself. I am 21+ so no need to worry about that. I will/can rp almost every theme. Whether you find it good or not is entirely up to you, sorry if it sucks though. I have a discord but i reserve that for friends or people who've i've roleplayed with on multiple occasions.I am 1000% great at separating my characters from myself. So feel free to act however your character would I won't take it personally and you shouldn't take how mine interacts with yours personally either. If they don't get along then they don't get along.My preferences lean more towards slice of lifey, adventure, and action things. I don't mind sitting and talking for hours though. Keep in mind that while i can (and most certainly will try) do para rp sometimes i just have so low energy, that i find it hard. And also sometimes responses don't need to be a para long.But if i'm feeling okay and the rp is going good, you should see some long and nice descriptive rp paragraphs comin out. Just give me a lil time.Oh tid-bit, I have some mild social anxiety so as much as i want to i'll reach out minimally because i dont want to seem like a bother. >.< sorry.If you made it this far Yes i can step into the light if you want.



Today

You'll find Rose offering to help out those in need along her travels. She's a front line fighter who more or less enjoys being smacked around by large enemies. It gives her a thrill for the fight and honestly makes it so she fights harder.She doesn't really know why that is, it just is. She trains every morning with her weapon and then spends her evenings exploring a social setting or just walking the world (literally, She rp walks everywhere).She hopes to one day move and live in Kugane. Having stopped there in her journey she fell in love with it, the art, the styles, the views, the hot springs. She tries to make a stop there every now and then so that way she can have a little rest and relaxation.While her adventures don't necessarily stop she's somewhat frustrated that they've slowed down and would love for more opportunities to continue them. She makes it a point to try and be caring but due to her experience on the road she has a hard time trusting.So while she might follow you if asked she won't be letting down her guard until she knows what your true intent is. To go in hand with that she's very honest and open about how she's feeling and what she does.She's also fallen in love with the gothic style, preferring darker colours, bright neon greens, and dark purples. She tries to be fashionable despite being a fairly strong front line fighter (Not pvp)


Hooks

These are some common hooks i've thought up, Feel free to just approach with your own story if you want!

  • If you frequent Kugane then you'll probably recognize her.

  • She's not super known as an adventurer in the Ul'dah area but you still might know her as the vanguard who can take a hit.

  • Skatay Range Veena, You might've seen her sneaking off

  • She's friendly and loves to have a good chat so she'll talk to people if they come up.

  • If you know anything about gunblades she'd love to learn more.

  • She loves hotsprings, if you do too you might've seen her in them



Backstory the long kind

Born into a Veena tribe in the Skatay Range, Along the mountain range of Othard, Rose was raised just like any Kit. Though she hit her growth spurt probably a little faster than most.Her gender came on her 12th nameday, and the women of the tribe began to teach her about her role as a woman for her tribe. What was expected of her, what she needed to do, what she needed to learn..The Green Word.
It honestly wasn't too bad for her, However she found herself wanting, desiring, more to her life.
So began her little secret escapes, they grew in frequency as she aged, sneaking from the tribe to go learn about surviving in the woods by a male she had grown up with, one that was lucky to survive his own training.She fell in love with those woods. Learning to respect the animals and the plants, even the fighting the guards had to do. Having survived her own secret trial with only a few scars along her back she continued her days in the tribe. After a few years the males returned and one tried for her hand, in response she gave him a challenge, Fight her then he can claim what he wants. But he lost, In a way before he even fought, spreading rumours about her to try and get her demoralized. Even going as far as showboating right before the duel. Beaten and embarrassed he left with some other Viera he had woo'd previously. A couple more years went by. A lot maybe.Then she just left. Its not some tragic tale or sad passing. She just decided to leave, A feeling of something more driving her. Something bigger than the forest. She knows she won't be able to return without facing the repercussions. But that's okay with her.She's been travelling for long long while. Gaining experience from wherever she really can get it. Stumbling across a discarded manatrigger she quickly fell in love with it. She's used to taking a beating considering she survived the trial of the woods, so handling such a weapon wasn't hard...But it wasn't easy. Every trigger pull, the improper balance, every swing, every slam, weighed hard on her arms and body. The kick back hard to control. It wasn't until a few years later when she met someone who was properly trained in using such a weapon. Training with them was tough. A strict schedule needed to be kept in order to train her body to move with the weapon not let the weapon move her.The years past and the trainer unfortunately passed away from old age. During his teachings Rose quickly proved her mettle protecting those who needed it, showing unwavering courage to face down larger foes and beasts that would otherwise hurt those around her. "Courage is not the absence of fear, It's the strength to admit you're afraid and still continue to push forward." Is the phrase her teacher constantly put on her. Drilling into her...Now only if she could have taken that into social settings.
