About: Cat mom and professional daydreamer (in truth I have a customer service/sales/graphic design job - yes, all three combined). My hobbies include art, playing video games, reading/writing, journaling and collecting rocks. Main fandom is FFXIV, but I also like the Tales of series and cute shoujo manga like Yona of the Dawn and Tokyo Mew Mew. Timezone is EST. Tagging speed can be a bit all over the place, but if you would like to set a certain pace for comfort or continuity reasons, please let me know. I tend to add inner dialogue and meta to tags for flavor.
⁂ PLOT WITH ME
Character: Emet-Selch
Canon: Final Fantasy XIV
Canon Point: Endwalker; after returning to the aetherial sea with Hythlodaeus
Age: 12,000+
Dragon Bond: Name: Ossalur Isk (meaning "travel" and "star") | Gold
Ossalur could only be described as a classic adventurer through and through. Bouncing from one fiasco to the next. He always left a strong impression in his wake and was a dragon known for having connections. His first and foremost priority was helping people. No task too big, no job too banal, Ossalur would do it all without hesitation if it brought light to those who needed it. In times when he found himself in need of help, he had countless many to call upon for various skills and information who were all too happy to return the favor. That said, he was known to be a bit... odd. Not in a bad way, but more in a kind of chaotic 'cooking with explosives' kind of way.
About Your Blorbo: Emet-Selch is an Ancient and one of fourteen representatives of his world's governing body, his duties being those that involve the Underworld (ie. aetherial sea or lifestream) and his ability to see souls. He's a powerful mage and spends much of his free time wrangling his two gremlin friends. At first meeting, he can be quite prickly and grumpy, but one will soon learn that he's a rather sentimental sort who will cave to the whims of others if he feels the issue warrants his attention (and if others ask nicely enough). He's passionate about theatre, magicks, good literature and long naps in the park.
Event Plan(s): Emet-Selch will begrudgingly take part in the festivities, mostly on his quest to better understand the intricacies of this world and its cultures, as well as his fellow otherworlders. Ignorance is far from bliss, after all.
★ You may find him paused within the canyon on the way to the party to stop and admire the glow worms' celestial display.
★ The games Emet-Selch will agree to are Battleship and What's In The Box. He will under no circumstance agree to bob for onions. Do you seriously expect him to get his robes wet?
★ He will perform with Slayd & The Possums. His violin skills are actually quite good (he's had thousands of years worth of practice!). Feel free to pressure him into playing a few more songs or challenge him to a musical duel. He will likely oblige since it means he will have a reprieve from being asked by the fae to play even more games with them.
★ He will NOT be venturing into the depths of the forest willingly. However, if anyone comes to him for help in locating a missing person who just so happened to ignore the rules, then he may agree to lend his assistance. He'll be much more likely to provide aid if the individual in question is someone he's previously spoken to, or a friend of a friend. Or you can just say "please".
★ Emet-Selch isn't even his true name, so feel free to toss it around at your leisure. Out of an abundance of caution (via The Rules), he'll refrain from calling anyone else by their names either. Enjoy whatever fun nicknames he conjures up for the duration of the event!
★ If you lose track of your shadow, he will help chase it down for you. Although it will be up to you to catch it, obviously.
★ As for the dragon transformation, Emet-Selch's robes hide the small clusters of dark scales that have begun to form over his skin. You may notice that his nails have grown longer and pointed with golden undertones, and occasionally his pupils will narrow into a thin slit if anything particularly annoys or surprises him. There is also a faint line of stubble beginning to grow along his jawline closest to his ears, as if he missed a spot when he shaved this morning.
Interested In: Friends, enemies, frenemies, "it's complicated", mage pals and intellectuals, gremlins and hero types...the man likes to stay busy, or at least moderately entertained, so any sort of (mis)adventures he can get pulled into would be excellent. Any artsy sorts should also mesh well with him, as he enjoys poetry and the performing arts.
In particular I very much support the idea of him being a mentor, teacher, or (Zodiark forbid) a role model of some sort whether it be in magicks, swordsmanship, or history. If that's something you're interested in, too, we can make it happen.
Anything else? I have a soul sight permissions post over here! He's been actively looking for people who are willing to have their souls evaluated (by himself and Hythlodaeus - lovely, delightful man) so they can better understand the impact the dragon-souls are having on those of the characters. Feel free to slide into his IC Inbox if you'd like to set up a meeting on the subject.

Do you have a preference? I'm hoping to get my starters written up this weekend, but if you like, I can tap your toplevel in the meantime too.
He just thinks the glow worms have an artistic eye, that's all. Can't quite compare to historic cave paintings, but, it'll do for now.
(Also Emet's due for actually answering people's questions for once. He seems to weasel his way out of it far too often and leaves Elidibus to deal with the detailed explanations.)
