⁂ Maruah Contact: maruah, Discord: Everyworker, 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): Gaia will have no problems settling in and dealing with the hand she was dealt. Her initial assumption that the Fae of her world were responsible for this 'game' will be pretty quickly dispelled (probably at or by the time they reach the Town Hall Meeting). If getting back means working to resolve the world she's been brought to's current condition, then that's what she'll do. While she won't be exactly pleased at this situation with the dragon stuck inside her (it might trigger some uncomfortable memories of being merged and losing a lot of herself), she will Deal With It. Gaia will be slow to warm up to people, but she's willing to do her share of the work and also work with others to accomplish goals.
Overall expect teenage grousing and clipped annoyance at the lack of conveniences she's not going to panic over chipping a nail or getting her hands dirty to survive.
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!
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.
Also still my absolute favorite callback to ARR quotes to date.
