DEATHBOND

#DEATHBOND  ━━━ a private and selective LOW ACTIVITY roleplay blog for final fantasy xiv ind. original character — HEMLOCK EXIDIA             ↳   multiship, multiverse, original character & cross-over friendly.

MUN INFO:  phoenix | 25+ | they/any | SEMI-HIATUS ( previously known as fiery )

heads up, blog’s still under construction. thank you for the patience.

GENERAL As a heads up, Hemlock's story involves canon divergence and some lore-bending. She is a character originating from and inspired by Baldur's Gate 3 (/ d&d 5e) adjusted to fit the world of ffxiv. I still do my best however to ensure lore compliance where possible. As a character, she can sometimes be difficult to understand because of their trauma but I will always be happy to discuss their interactions with you for whatever reason. I find it important to state that muse and mun do not share the same ideas or opinions. I only use the beta editor and I would much prefer if you do the same to make things easier for both of us.

CONTENT WARNING This blog will contain mature themes and references such as depression, PTSD, war, violence, blood, alcohol use, self-harm, grief, sexual literature / references, murder, death, body horror, rebirth, decay, the consequences of immortality & similar subjects. This blog will also feature insects, fungi, and the like. I ask that you do not follow or interact with this blog to any degree if you are under 18 or uncomfortable with these subjects. I will not interact with or follow anyone under the age of 20.

For a short while the Miqo'te had wondered if he'd misremembered the directions he'd been given and then he'd turned a corner towards a small collection of structures and there it was - the Hermit's Eye. It looked... innocuous almost, from where he was stood but he'd been informed of the kind of thing he would likely be laying his eye on once he was closer.

It wasn't somewhere he'd ordinarily go himself but when needs must...

Entering the store, he glanced about at the range of items on display, all organic be they herbs or salves or tinctures and though he wasn't there to purchase something for himself, he still found himself enraptured by the diversity of it all. Perhaps it was his being a Miqo'te but the air made him want to wrinkle his nose though as myriad scents mingled and intertwined, some stronger than others.

A veritable botanist's dream, it seemed. Shame he wasn't a botanist.

Nevertheless, he finally addressed the reason he was there and pulled from a pouch on his belt a several samples that he needed identifying in light of a suspected poisoning.

"So I've heard that you might be the one to ask when it comes to many things flora. Can you identify these and where they come from?"

Hemlock’s ear twitches as the door opens, causing the bell above it to chime. The viera pauses her task of restocking the shelves of books on various arcana and flora only for keen eyes to spot the miqo’te’s nose to twitch as he wanders through the more… organic part of the store. She wonders if a rearrangement is necessary to cater to the sensitivities of different customers as it’s something she’s long gotten used to, but… organic goods have a shorter lifespan and having them at the more forefront of the store catches one’s gaze quicker for faster sales. It’ll be something to ponder when she doesn’t have a client to attend to, she supposes. 

A curious glance over the seeker doesn’t present anything unusual to most miqo’te she’s come across until she takes the time to focus in on his aether, that is — a bi-coloured wealth of aether, almost like a conduit through which even more can be channeled, more aligned with one than the other, almost like there’s two different kinds of aether merged into one form, heavy and dense, more so than most, and yet… stagnant here and there. Odd. It definitely piques her interest in this miqo’te. Still, she dismisses the thoughts for now and instead focuses on the customer before her as she moves towards the counter to greet him properly.

Hemlock almost offers a smile and her usual warm greeting, the usual shopkeeper routine when she finally eyes the plants laid upon the counter. Instead of a smile, she lofts a brow at the man, “I can identify them, yes.” A pause. Her ear twitches at a crow's caw. Far too close to be one outside. “First, I would like to know why.”

I am wedded to that darkly thing that breathes inside of me. I am half monster. I am half blood, bone and flesh.

I am half ghost. I am half dead.

Hhh. Hi. Sorry for dropping off the face of the earth. It’s been a rough week. We’ve had some really warm days here that exacerbated my health issues and then our main water pipe cracked but I finally have some spoons again now that it’s cooling down and we fixed the pipe so I’m hopefully gonna be working on some stuff!!

In the mean time, as always, it’s much easier to contact me on dis.cord than tumblr

find me @ fieryrespawn

Please let me know who you are!!
