Ascent

We are never tested without purpose. Every trial that brings us to our knees is a chance for us to rise again to our feet. Divine forgiveness was always a cold splash away, but earthly love was a longer reach for a woman like me. I’ve always preferred the clean distance of holy things. I’ve wanted to be as the sun; indispensable, simmering, whose warmth is only felt from a safe distance. Oh, but I feel it now; unbearable, molten, aching love for too much. For the world I’ve left, and for the one to which I’ve just been redelivered.

What softness there is here, now, in the ashes of chaos that was. The breeze is warm here, and the trees flower lilac in a glorious blaze. I stumbled into this place once, a lifetime and a lesson ago; I was weak and unworthy, left scars in my wake that opened gaping maws, wolf’s jaw tightening, splintering all around me between sharp and grinding teeth. Do they know how sorry I am? Do they know how much they’ll be missed? I feel them all like counting ribs up my side, one after another after another after another, with my heart beating just behind.

I’ve been reborn again into this bright, aching land, this time delivered by the multitude of doors closing behind me rather than by divine fester ripping the fabric of reality for my grand entrance. Where once I beheld a dizzying, unfathomable infinite in the rift I mistakenly tore, there is now a clear, single path for me to walk, and it all leads here. The possibilities narrow comfortingly into a thread that I can follow. I’ve been a conduit between man and divine, between living and dead; why not become a conduit between worlds, as well?

I close my eyes and inhale this place and time that I am destined to inherit, my purpose only just awakened. A shadow falls over me and I don’t have to look to know that he’s waiting. I smile at the hunter who extends his hand to me expectantly and rise. We point our boots toward the shimmering blue tower and we start again.

[LFRP] Miyasuke Ietada, the Priestess

BASIC INFORMATION

Full Name: Miyasuke Ietada Blog: @miyasukeietada Gender: Female Race: Midlander hyur Current Residence: Gridania

GENERAL INFORMATION

Sexual Orientation: Conflicted bisexual Relationship Status: Engaged Occupation: Priestess, political consultant, philanthropist Physical Appearance: Miya is a classic Doman beauty, dark of hair and eyes alike, built slender and willowy, and comports herself with dignity and distance. She favors rich textiles that she often sews and tailors herself, and ample amounts of religious jewelry that is almost entirely made of gold and semiprecious jewels. Her overall aesthetic choices tend toward the ethereal, and even when she is dressed with practicality in mind, there is always a touch of beauty and elegance in the form of a simple chain, ring, or a flower tucked into her hair.

Though she gravitates toward a Doman wardrobe, her time in Eorzea has seen her slowly assimilate to more Eorzean styles and mannerisms. She can be loud and forceful and speaks with her hands. She wears her displeasure on her sleeve and her mannerisms can be predictable to those who have spent enough time around her to notice. Personality: Miya is not the gentle, soft-hearted faithful. She is fiery in her beliefs, alight in her conviction, and uncompromising in executing the will of the spirits as she sees it. She follows a philosophy of valuing righteous actions over empty social niceties, which is to say that although her moral arc may be just, her interpersonal skills could use some refinement at times. When she wants something, she does not hesitate to stand up and demand it, and her blunt, outspoken nature can be divisive among those who come to fear it, hate it, or admire it.

In spite of this, she does have a peculiar sense of humor and seems to enjoy subtly messing with others when they least expect it. There are times when her jokes are amusing to only herself, and she doesn’t bother to explain the punchline to others. But Miya is not impervious and in fact can be quite hypocritically sensitive. She can and does open up to those who learn to accept and even manage to soothe her fiercest impulses. She is a woman whose militant faith was forged in the Garlean occupation, but whose foundation yearns for belonging. She’s suffered profound loss and been ostracized repeatedly, suffers bouts of deep and troubling doubt, and though she would never admit to it openly, craves the feeling of family and friends who love and appreciate her as she is, or will be.

HOOKS

The Kami Miya is foremost a priestess and takes her duties seriously, above all else. She is available as a spiritual consultant, a counselor, an officiant, and even a warrior. She has delivered sermons and presided over wedding ceremonies, as well as actively selling omamori out of her quiet shrine. Her particular brand of kami worship has its oddities that may not be in step with others, especially as she has been indelibly influenced by a complicated and now-deceased mentor.

She often speaks of hearing the will of the spirits; other characters can take this as literally or metaphorically as they see fit. She takes this claim very seriously regardless of whether or not others believe her to be telling the truth.

House of Cards Miya has a reputation in Yanxia for assisting extensively in the country’s ongoing reconstruction after the Garleans were driven out. This has led Miya to seizing on an opportunity to serve a local philanthropic group in Gridania who utilize her as a consultant in creating and managing their ambitions in the region. Naturally, this can lead to some sensitive and uncomfortable situations when it comes to maneuvering politics, and navigating a culture that is not her own occasionally presents a challenge. She is still learning the ropes and trying to strike a balance between her aggressive style of dealing with problems and the subtle touch required to play at the same level as seasoned bureaucrats. If you are part of a political or charitable organization out of any region, Miya would be interested to get involved as friend or foe.

The Void and Other Scaries The priestess has taken up the fight against the Void and other supernatural nasties as a matter of religious purpose. She has communicated with it, banished it, and sees it as part of her duties as a priestess to continue the fight against encroaching oblivion. Though she isn’t half as well-trained as her partner Ezen, she is a sound conjurer whose combat skills are comically more well-honed than her healing. She can also use a bow with a respectable amount of proficiency, but generally prefers to take up a support role in any military situations. No voidsent problem is too big or small.

Sacred Gold Goldsmithing is a passion she has taken up on the side as a way to supply herself with beautiful jewelry that has religious significance to her, as well as to aid in making money to send her widowed mother in Hingashi. She is skilled in eastern crafted styles and also sells explicitly blessed pieces that are said to be suitable vessels for attracting kami to the wearer. Pieces can be tailored to try to lure specific kami, whether it’s to help ward off darkness, bring riches, or other reasonable benefits. Suppliers and buyers alike would be welcome contacts.
