[LFRP] Mana Mizu - Balmung

❀ General Information ❀

Name: Mana Mizu (Formerly Mana Rivers) Gender: Female Age: 24 Race: Au Ra, Raen Birthplace: Othard Current Residence: A rundown greenery in the Lavender Beds Relationship Status: Single Sexual Orientation: Pansexual Occupation: A Liaison, Apothecary, Former Dancer

❀ Physical Appearance ❀

Hair: Light watercolor blue with varying pale hues & white Eyes: Aquamarine Height: 4 fm 8 im Distinguishing Marks: None that are considered oddities for her race. However she does have a scar just above the base of her tail. Common Accessories: She usually has a flower somewhere on her person and always wears a necklace with a single vial of clear liquid attached.

❀ Personality & Tidbits ❀

Outwardly, Mana is graceful, sociable and has a trained habit in listening to others with displayed empathy. Inwardly or in a less formal atmosphere however, she is playful, enjoys witty humor and has a keen knack for getting in over her head due to an insatiable curiosity. She’s fairly stubborn and often flirts with dangerous situations to satiate her own drive. Talents: Perceptive, adept in alchemy, graceful, dancing Flaws: Physically weak, no magical/fighting prowess, weak aether, takes unnecessary risks Religion: The Twelve are nice to think about. Alignment: True Neutral

❀ Hooks ❀

I really am only looking for long term connections. I’d love to create plots and work with someone to create meaningful stories that last for awhile!

Specific Connection Ideas ❀ Experienced Weapons master/Fighter - Mana has zero experience with weapons or true fights in general. (Dirty scrappy ‘oh my gosh I’m going to die’ fighting excluded.) However, she’s slowly trying to teach herself how to use a strange pair of chakrams. Even if your character isn’t experienced with such weapons, perhaps they know plenty about other weapons and could help teach her the basic tricks of battle? Give her some pointers? Laugh at her as she flails at a tree? Anything goes! ❀ Magic Expertise - Her personal aether is fairly weak, almost unnaturally so. This could catch the attention of anyone looking for it with good or bad intentions. Along a similar vein, the chakrams she often keeps with her are magical in nature. It could also catch interest or if your character is knowledgeable with magical items, she could seek them out for some insight. Again, sky is the limit for ideas all similar to this! ❀ Smooth Talker - Mana has learned how to adapt to plenty of situations by words alone. Is your character not the greatest with words but needs someone who is? Perhaps they just need an assistant for a night out to handle the dreary conversations? Or someone to help with a store front at first until they can kick things off themselves? Handle a few written letters so they sound nice? ETC! Mana is dabbling into being a liaison and could be roped in/paid to help!

General Sought Connections ❀ The Bad, The Ugly, The… Still Bad? Mana’s life was turned upside down many years ago in Limsa, which quickly taught her how to navigate the darker side of Eorzea. She’s used to dabbling with antagonists and villains. (And the mun enjoys it!) Perhaps your character knows her from the past? Or they’ve heard of her (she has a bounty or two still on her head/people who speak ill of her) in some fashion. I’d be happy to brainstorm and share more details, but villains are welcome! Conflicts, danger and grays are exciting! ❀ Past Clients - Mana’s apothecary is closed, but perhaps in the past your character had her making things for them or stopped by to pick up supplies. She still makes custom orders for the right price, incentive or push. She also was a dance in Limsa several years ago. Perhaps your character was a past client in that setting as well with plenty of nuance to throw in. ❀ Travelers & Wanderings - She has a bit of wanderlust at times. As a child she grew up on a ship, so our characters could know each other from childhood. In more present times, Mana sometimes goes out on her own (sometimes as a poor decision) to explore, often to find new reagents or to satiate her own urge to just get away for awhile. They could bump into each other or who knows what! ❀ Note: Friendships, flings and romances are always on the table. Some being harder to strike up than others! However with romance in particular, I prefer to let characters hit it off on their own and believe slow burns are the BEST. (Especially given how Mana feels about such things.) Also it’s important to note that Mana tends to skirt with the darker genre. ❀ Always open to more ideas! Seriously, hit me up with anything!

❀ OOC Information ❀

I prefer in-game RP at the moment, but will consider Discord if schedules aren’t working out well. Especially if Discord Rp scenes can be done with a decent pace.

Genres: I personally enjoy Dark, Mature, Action, Adventure and Dramatic genres! I don’t mind doing some slice of life and softer tones too though if that’s needed! I do not like comedic or overly silly RP however- apologies! It is just not my cup of tea. Mana is a character that thrives and is best geared towards Dark/Mature themes. Feel free to poke with questions. Length: In-game I do 2-3 paragraphs depending on the situation, but less during events for politeness. In Discord it completely varies but can range from 2-5ish. Sometimes I get carried away but I do not ask the same in return. Quality over quantity! Style: I’m really flexible! I don’t mind a bit of planning and slinging out ideas, however when the RP gets started I really prefer to just go with the flow in those scenes/moments. It doesn’t feel natural or exciting if everything is predicted or forced, you know? Server: Balmung Timezone: EST Availability: In-game: anytime after 8 PM EST. Discord: I check Discord throughout the day! Contact Information: @claihn via Tumblr, Lain#0004 on Discord Other: Communication is a big must for me! An RP partner who is poking me just as often as I’m poking them, is unafraid to be honest and gets excited with me is a dream come true and will be treasured! I think I’m pretty friendly, flexible and can be really understanding about stuff happening too! I just want us to have fun. ^^

Do not hesitate to poke me if you wish to know more about her as well, as obviously this is only a glimpse!

I’d love to not reblog this and keep Lainy all to myself, but that wouldn’t be fair to the world! (or to Lainy) She’s amazing as an RPer and as a person and worth every minute you can give her.

(( I’m not participating in FFXIVWrite… I was just inspired by a couple of the prompts! ))

(( Mentions: @star-striking ))

Keira Denali - a small, thin Hyuran woman - approached the table with two plates of food, one for herself, and one for him. Elliot had only known his adoptive parents for 2/3rds of his life, but they were the most important family figures he’d ever had. They filled in a gap that he never knew he had until later on, and he cherished them for all the love and care they’d given him. In all aspects, Keira was his ‘real’ mother, and Elliot found her absolutely beautiful even now after all those years had passed. She was the one who’d started him on the path to becoming a Culinarian, considering she was in charge of all the cooking in their small cottage in Gridania. He owed her so much, loved her so much, and he hoped that today’s visit would bring her some very exciting news.

If you roleplay a ship with me,

You will get— Adequate ship building time. Realistic obstacles for them to overcome. Sweet fluff. Sexy smut. (if you want) As much action as I can mange. Tons of angst. Possibly random drabbles. Occasional gif/photo sets, or manips. @ tagged in all kinds of things. Headcanons about anything and everything. Completely sick of my ass.

FFxivWrite2019

FFxiv 30 Day Writing Challenge SEPTEMBER 1st - 30th, 2019

Welcome to YEAR 3 of our annual FFxiv 30 Day Writing Challenge, folks!

In 2017 we saw 2,451 written pieces ranging from three-lined haikus to multi-paged stories. 2018 ramped up even more with 3,641 written pieces!

We are a merry band of prolific writers, FFxiv RP community, and I couldn’t be prouder of our willingness to challenge ourselves creatively, using our RP craft as inspiration. Let’s see how we do in 2019!

Here’s the gist:

Runs from September 1st - 30th, 2019. During that timeframe:

Visit @sea-wolf-coast-to-coast once a day at 12:00pm (noon) PST for the prompt of the day. All prompts will be one word or brief phrase that you can interpret however you please.

You have 24 hours to write something for that prompt.

Submit the link to your entry post via this Google Form: https://forms.gle/EJV82Wh85BZpwaFa9 – Tumblr has been hiding @ mentions from my dash which means that I’m missing so many of your entries. :( Submitting a link to your post via this Form will ensure that everyone’s posts are seen and tracked! Please help me, haha. Tag @sea-wolf-coast-to-coast in your post, and use the hashtag #FFxivWrite2019.

There are no length or skill requirements (short & sweet is fine!).

There will be no 24-hour deadlines for the first week, September 1st - 7th.

Makeup/extra credit days every Sunday.

Every entry posted within its 24-hour deadline will count toward a participation prize raffle at the end.

You can join any time - late entries are welcome! They simply won’t count toward participation prizes - unless submitted on a makeup day.

If you’re an artist and you would like to volunteer to do a simple black & white illustration as a participation prize at the end of this challenge, please let me know!

RULES & MORE INFO below the cut~

sea-wolf-coast-to-coast

LAST-MINUTE RULE CHANGE: Please submit a link to your entries via this Google Form for all submissions moving forward: https://forms.gle/EJV82Wh85BZpwaFa9

Friends, I’m so sorry that I’ve been missing so many of your posts! Tumblr has been absolutely terrible in regards to giving me visibility to the extent that it’s showing me only a fraction of the post that you’re @ mentioning me in. Between scrolling through my activity feed and going through your messages with links to missed posts, it’s got me spending roughly 2+ hours a day trying to make sure that I don’t miss anyone. That’s not manageable for me.

So! The new solution is to submit a link to each of your posts via the above Google Form moving forward. This will help me tremendously on the tracking side of things by a) making sure that I see everyone’s posts, and b) ensuring that I’m able to continue to run this challenge each year.

If you are still missing likes from me on posts, please submit those links via this Google Form as well and note that it was missed.

And as an added bonus, taking the tracking portion off of Tumblr means that folks can now post their entries on any platform of their choice, whether it be Tumblr, An Archive Of Our Own, WordPress, a Google Doc, from the RPC Forums - etc.! As long as you can provide a link that allows me to be able to view what you’ve written, you’re good and the post will be tracked.

The original Rules have been updated to reflect this change. Please help me spread the word! Reblog this Updated Rules post and I’ll give you one free pass on any late entry of your choosing, counting it toward the participation prize. Simply note that you’re using your free pass when you submit the link in the Google Form.

THE TL;DR -

1. Submit your post links via a Google Form from now on (link above).

2. Submit links to posts that are missing Likes from me via the Google Form as well.

3. You can now write your posts anywhere and it will count.

4. Reblog this Updated Rules post for a free pass on a late entry of your choosing.

The Rules have been updated to reflect the above. Skim them, please!
