Birthday: 17th Sun of the 5th Umbral Moon
Hair: Teo-Linh’s hair is bright white and brushes against his shoulders and upper back. He often chooses to style it in braids with various interesting headpieces.
Build: Short and lithe, appearing graceful like a dancer.
Distinguishing Marks: Teo-Linh’s most defining feature has to be the many tattoos that cover various parts of his body. Whether they are Ronkan script or elaborate designs, they cover the entirety of his back, wrap around his collar bones, over both shoulders, and down his arms. There also appear to be some smaller designs on the backs of his legs. What is odd is that the tattoos don’t appear to have been done by the same person, nor at the same time, and while they appear to make up one solid story etched upon his skin, they seem disjointed in places, where one artist was perhaps less skilled than the one who came before. Many of the tattoos that feature Ronkan script seem to have been done by the same artist, someone with a steady hand and a knowledge of Ronkan text. Given that many of these tattoos are in hard-to-reach places, it is clear that Teo did not do them himself.
Teo-Linh makes no attempt to hide any of these tattoos, rather seeming happy to show them off with his various clothing choices. The largest of the pieces is a branching tree that begins on his upper left arm and stretches out across his upper back and over across his collar bones until it reaches his heart. On his back the branches flower and bloom, and droop with fruit. As the eye moves back towards his arm, the tree becomes bare, broken, brittle, until it is consumed by fire resting over his heart.
Fashion: Teo-Linh drifts towards attire commonly seen in the Raktika Greatwood. Both in Slitherbough and among the Viis of Fannow. He tends to prefer clothing that is less “masculine” often choosing loose and flowing garments that, in some places, would be seen as decidedly feminine. His clothing if often made of leather and fur or features feathers or teeth. As mentioned above, he makes use of everything he can. Head pieces also make frequent appearances. It’s unclear if he simply enjoys them or if they play some part in his beliefs. He also seems to be quite fond of jewelry and wears a fair amount of it.
Profession: Apothecary, Healer, and Hedge Witch that serves the denizens of the Rak’tika Greatwood.
Hobbies: Reading, Researching, tending his many plants, hunting, writing, experimenting with various mixtures, tea.
Languages: Common. Ronkan. Though his Ronkan is academic at best. He certainly couldn’t hold a conversation in it, but could likely translate passages and he certainly uses it to cast.
Residence: A small hut in the Raktika Greatwood that is not too terribly far from Slitherbough, but is off the beaten path and certainly not close enough to be considered part of the settlement.
Religion: Teo seems to worship the Ronkan Gods, or what he has been able to learn of them in his various studies.
Fears: Sineaters, losing his story, being forgotten.
Nicknames: Some call him Teo while others call him Linh. If he has other nicknames, he is not aware of them.
Parents: Mother – Fahri-Teo, deceased. Father – Unknown.
Siblings: None that he is aware of.
Other Relation: X’khal’a Moui – Reflection on the Source
Pets: Teo keeps many species of venomous spiders and snakes for his work, all of whom are named and well cared for, but perhaps are not exactly pets.

Additional information ––––
Personality: Teo is a bit eccentric. Living on his own in the middle of the Greatwood has lead him to do things that others might find strange. It has also lead him to develop his own traditions and ways of communicating. He tends to talk to plants, speak with an almost poetic lilt, and seems overly interested in the life stories of others. If people can get past the strange and sometimes awkward exterior, they will find that Teo is a lonely man who wants nothing more than to be a part of something. To be remembered. To be wanted, cared about, and loved.
Recreational Substances: Unlikely. He may be able to be coaxed into trying new substances that have hallucinogenic properties to determine if there is perhaps another use for them, but he’s not one for recreational use of drugs or alcohol.
Favorite Foods: Stewed and dried meats, fresh bread, nuts and seeds, various fresh berries.
Outlander – Teo-Linh is from the First and has lived his entire life in the Rak’tika Greatwood. Perhaps your character is a traveler who has come upon him in the woods, or is one of the Night’s Blessed, or a Viis of Fannow? If your character has spent any time in the Greatwood it is possible they have crossed paths.
Need a Healer? – Not only is Teo an Apothecary and Alchemist with great skill in tinctures and potions for all sorts of ailments, he is also quite skilled is magical healing and will happily offer his services to those in need. Don’t have money to pay? No need, Teo very rarely asks for monetary compensation. That said, he may request something else in trade.
Hedge Witch – While quite skilled with healing and elemental magics, Teo also dabbles in hedge magic. Perhaps would like a tincture of protection? A poultice to ward off ill fortunes? Or perhaps you’d like your tea leaves read? Teo would be happy to oblige.
Ronkan Ruins – His research of the Ronkan empire, specifically their religious and magical practices has lead Teo into as many Ronkan Ruins as he could sneak into. If your character also found themselves diving the depths of a lost empire, they may have come across a wandering Mystel.
Anything! - I am pretty sure we can come up with all kinds of reasons for our characters to interact. Just shoot me a message and we’ll talk through it! I am open to just about anything.
I’m 32, married, with three fuzzy cats and one very hyperactive dog. I have been RPing in some capacity for nearly twenty years. Wow… that makes me feel old. MMO RP is relatively new to me. I joined the RP community if FFXIV in 2017 and haven’t looked back. I am also an avid fan of tabletop RPGs and LARP. I am all about some RP.
I am a big bundle of anxiety. It is much easier for me to interact with people online, but I still find myself dealing with nerves from time to time. This makes large RP events difficult and I usually won’t go without a buddy.
I prefer to RP in-game, but will also RP on Discord if we can’t manage to line things up in-game. Tumblr RP has been difficult for me to keep up with in the past. So, while I will consider it, it’ll take some convincing.
I am not looking for an FC, but would certainly be interested in both IC and OOC Linkshells as well as RP oriented Discord servers.
I like getting to know my RP partners OOC. This isn’t a requirement or anything, I just enjoy Discord chit chat.
I really do try my best to be approachable to everyone and I’d love to talk to you, even if we can’t come up with interactions or plots for our characters.
Availability/Contact Information –––
Timezone: CST. I am generally available for RP most nights of the week after 7 PM. I’m a night owl. So, I’ll probably be around as late as 3 AM. I am available earlier on weekends. I have a lot of free time and can make most things work provided I have time to plan for it.
In game you can contact me on August Mercer, Liyaya Liya, or Teo Linh (All on Balmung).
Discord is the easiest way to get a hold of me most of the time. If you’d like to chat, shoot be a PM here and I’ll get you my discord username.
