⁂ Maruah
Contact: [plurk.com profile] maruah, Discord: Everyworker, [personal profile] hammerbearer
About: I go by Maruah (she/her/them are fine). Late forties, been RPing in DWRP for um... a few years now! Hobbies are reading, gaming, RPing, crafting and espousing useless but hopefully interesting trivia.

I try to upkeep tags on a steady basis; once a day minimum but usually more as time permits. Sometimes RL issues keep me from this speed so please bear with me. My usual times that I'm around are 2pm to 11pm (give or take a few hours) Eastern Time Zone.

⁂ PLOT WITH ME
Character: Gaia
Canon: Final Fantasy XIV
Canon Point: Endwalker MSQ patch 7.5: Growing Light
Age: 17
Dragon Bond:
  • Name: Kellen Mahul

  • Type: Steel

  • Personal Information: Spending most of their time in human form, Kellen was a well-traveled writer, focusing themselves on the lives of everyday people that they met. They enjoyed recording the stories of those who's lives would otherwise pass in obscurity and lifting them up to the eyes of the world. Highly regarded both amongst dragon and man, Kellen did not enjoy the spotlight, but was gracious enough to engage their fans in an affable, relaxed manner. Their ideal day is people watching with a pint at the tavern.


About Your Blorbo: Gaia is a fairly straightforward, low-filter 'speaks her mind' teenager. She has the air of someone that lived an affluent life and has been through a lot; kidnapping, memories stolen from her (twice!!) and finding out her heritage/what it means to be the Oracle of Darkness (an pole-like element in FFXIV that promotes activity/change/transformation in other elements/life versus 'Light' that is stasis/order/static). She comes from a world that was almost completely enshrouded in the element of Light (eternal stasis) that has only recently been free of its inevitable fate of being finally consumed.

But despite her upbringing, she does have that tsundere 'kind heart' and is absolutely the type to be no-nonsense and not get caught up worrying about what she lost, so much as the life she chooses for herself. And if that means learning how to live a less humble life and helping to make her world a better place, that's just fine with her!

Game Plan(s) and Progress: Gaia has definitely settled in, picking a house and working to prepare for the upcoming winter. She has likely to have been seen in the company of the younger (teenage) Sephiroth. It probably can't be called friendship (yet) but they definitely know one another and sometimes even work together on tasks.

While she can sometimes be seen wearing the clothes she arrived in (definitely her aesthetic), she spends a lot of time lately wearing the local garb. Well, with a nod to her appearance of course but the important thing is having the right clothes. Especially as it's starting to get colder. And as those scales start to form on her skin.

Interested In: Friendships! Exploring dragon instincts! Drama is good but not excessive drama. It should make sense in context. Comedic value, cast and noncast interaction! Fashion! Learning new skills! Pursuing lessons on (currently low powered) abilities. Family!

Fae Festival: Gaia will attend the festival and put up with the receipt of gifts. She'll follow the rules (except possibly that suspicious one about lying to the old woman) and want to stay in the bounds of the event grounds. She comes from a place that knows how to treat with the Fae. (That is to say carefully and not at all if you don't have to.)

But if someone gets lost or comes to her to help rescue someone, she could be convinced to go along. She'll probably be trying for the bobbing for onions and maybe the battleship game.

In general, she'll also be open to odd jobs and quests while trying to store essentials for the winter months and save money. She's open to learning new skills or fostering her innate abilities.

Anything else? Gaia may or may not ping as 'ascended human' because of her Ascian... heritage? It's a bit of a gray area. She's definitely nowhere near the powerhouse of other Ascians and has a lot to learn about her abilities (in addition they're definitely powered down) but she has the potential to pull some tricks here and there.

Gaia is definitely NOT A FRIEND, he HAS NO FRIENDS but she's great for all your claw filing needs. And haircuts.

And then going shopping and to the cafe afterward.

Totally not friends.

These are perfectly ordinary not friend things to do.

Geth took a liking to her at the town hall meeting - if Gaia wants to learn/practice any wood or leather work, he's available for it outside of event stuff! He could also introduce her to his new animal companion, provided the unmasked raven doesn't find her first.

He's also been probing about the Ascians, which could get interesting if he ever catches wind of her connections on that front. Not likely anything too unpleasant, though, he's just curious and looking for allies-

She would be drawn to learning some basics about practical skills! Probably not so thrilled about the tanning part of leathercraft. XD But definitely more willing to learn how to work with the end product. And definitely wouldn't mind some basic carpentry skills. The longer it looks like she's going to be here the more she'll want to learn how to do things so she becomes self sufficient (or at least recognizes when someone has the skills to do a job she can't).

Unmasked raven? Ooo do introduce them! (And I'm down to him maybe finding out she knows what an Ascian is, or rather, being familiar with who the Ancient Gang are in context). C:

HI I'm getting back up to speed here finally hahah--

I'm thinking about putting up a catch-all for the remainder of the year and some backdated things, if you want some leatherwork or carpentry instruction action there! Gethen will be hawking his skills a bit more (working up to eventually getting a proper shop up and running via bonds), so there will be a prompt for general crafting.

As for the event, I'm going to take another pass at other event TLs, but feel free to tag in on Geth's if you want. ^^

Ooo that sounds fun! I'm getting back to catching up and stuff myself. I'll see where I'm at when it comes to uh... words.


Oh right once I get my inboxes clean of current tags.
