credits

The PastBaron Bertand and Baroness Cecilia Chastelaine welcomed second child Amèlie into the great adventure of life some twenty-eight turns of the star ago; three years after heir Guillaume and five years before third child Catherine.Her name was chosen to reflect the family's longstanding crest motto, her father's fondness for oldroses, and with the wish that she be blessed by Saint Finnea. Ishgard's highborn society does, after all, present different difficulties for its daughters than it does its sons. The Baron and Baroness hoped that the virtue of conviction would serve her well.As a young girl, her first loves were the rich, brown earth on the family's Coerthan farmstead, the tension of a bowstring in the curl of the first three fingers on her right hand, and climbing the high exterior wall of the Congregation of Our Knights Most Heavenly's training yard in order to watch and learn.The PresentDespite her mother's best efforts, Amèlie is much more like her father in her good humor, her ache for authenticity, and her maverick spirit.She has become a well-rounded woman: A gifted pictomancer whose summons speak to her study of magic, martial, and survival arts, not just paint and easel.((WIP))

easy hooks

romance

Amèlie is heterosexual and unmarried. She's not currently being courted. That said, I'll only commit her to the right man, the right story, and the right roleplayer. Let me know if that conversation is one you'd like to have.

21+ in & out of character

Sorry, kids. I'm only interested in interacting with other adult characters and players. The FFXIV universe contains morally complex and mature themes and content. My stories will contain them too.

modality

In-game or live 1:1 scenes via Discord and in-game group events are my first choices. Open to supplemental correspondence and some asynchronous scenes via Discord with established roleplay partners.

my style

themes

Coerthan and Ishgardian stories, slice-of-life, loose historic fiction inspiration (Medieval, Renaissance, Victorian, Regency), romance, exploration, occult, adventure, magical realism, mystery, dark fantasy, sociopolitical, chosen family, and more.

power limits

If the Warrior of Light can't do it all by themselves, it stands to reason that none of our original characters can, either. Other low to middling in power level, largely average denizens of the star are who I'm most interested in forging stories with.

lore

Lore-plausible. I like to play in the realm of what's likely more often than what's a stretch but possible. Some light to moderate lore bending and homebrew creativity within the boundaries of FFXIV universe canon is on the table. Heavy lore bending and lore breaking are not.

timeline

In current expansion (Dawntrail) story elements, Ishgard is still in the immediate aftermath of the end of the Dragonsong War. The Gates of Judgment are newly open, the restoration of the Firmament has brought in foreign trade and artisans, and both the Orthodox Church and Ishgard's government are in the midst of an unquiet reformation. I roleplay in the time bubble that the writers of FFXIV intend us to play in. Annual events and other time passage issues are negotiated with roleplay partners or hand-waved entirely.

aesthetics

I'm not interested in characters whose aesthetics are dramatic, hypersexualized, lore-breaking, or otherwise not aligned with FFXIV's universe design. Aesthetic modification is, in my opinion, a fine tuner; not something that should be such a crutch that our characters are unrecognizable or unplayable without.

respect my vibe

I reserve the right to return messages, make social, gaming and roleplay plans per my interest, energy levels, and availability. I afford my friends the same respect I afford myself. Unapologetically, I will distance from, mute, and/or block anyone whose presence isn't an extra lump of sugar in my cup of tea.

out of character relationships

I'm regularly down to hop into a voice call and hit normal difficulty content, to hang out in comfortable parallel play, to talk life, and I'd like to meet roleplayers who are, too. I probably won't invest in a roleplay partner I can't also consider a friend.
