OVERVIEW
Standing at 5'2", the form of Xembre Adrias is robust and muscled. He hides most of his body under light armor or black attire- commonly, you'll see him in a black turtleneck with chained trousers adorned with ankhs and medallions. His nails are always in a state of being long, sharp claws, or cropped back neatly to the end of the finger, and he accessorizes his utilitarian boots with fingerless gloves.If not for his extensive scarring and aetherbright eyes, Xembre would have been an otherwise boring example of an Eorzean Hyur. His hair is gray, shifting whiter and whiter with every year, and his pasty white skin is marred by sunburn scars, large rips from foes and fiends alike from head to toe. Multiple lacerations are on his face including a gouge on his left cheek and his left earlobe being missing completely. He tends to paint his face with dark lip and eye makeup, mainly to offbalance the sleepless nights that have carved deep bags under his eyes. A couple little freckles dot around his face. Those paying attention might note sharp fangs, longer than a base Hyur's canines.
He wears a thin-materialed black choker that covers his jugular completely as his final method of accessory. It's simple and doesn't draw much attention. The air around him is cold, and his skin, too, is cold. He often smells like burnt caramel, which intensifies in warmer weather.For those with aethersight, Xembre Adrias is riddled with a high level of levin aether. It has been bottled up for a very long time, and only now he is learning how to release it properly with spells and combat magecraft. His aether creates a visage of a crackling thunderhead around his person, rolling and growing with its elements.Xembre Adrias also has aethersight. His version of the vision gives him the ability to see watercolor paintings of the sentient creature's aether, often combining elements of their aetherial aspects. He's learning more and more about what they mean, but it never stops him from being awed by them.
hooks & whereabouts
WILD, WILD HYDAELYN
Xembre Adrias walks this star like he's on thin ice, but it's a well-traveled ice. Despite being fairly average in combat prowess and magick esoterics, he's traveled partway across the globe with very, very minimal issue.
He can be found working security on merchant ships, and when he's landbound, he camps out in the wilderness almost exclusively.
Primarily, he's found in Eorzea and Kugane. Eorzea is his main stomping grounds (he also has people he likes there) and he oft lurks around publications and Adventurer's Guilds, and Kugane has him running errands for marine research institutes between food research and bouncing from merchant charter to charter. Between that, he's either on contract (private or Guild) or in transit and wandering this star.LIGHTNING CRASHES
His aetherial conductivity is better nowadays, but a permanent mystery as to why he can discharges high levels of levin aether while he teleports and during high stress combat. It's easy to hide during battle, sure, but teleporting has such a high concentration, scorchmarks from lightning strikes mar and burn pavement and grass paths from where the energy has struck down from the heavens. If you know where to look, you can find him easily. A sunny day heralding a tiny thunderstorm is surefire that he's in the vicinity, and he's sure to stink a little of ozone from it.
SHAPES OF COLOR
The man sports eyes like shining diamonds, their glow cutting through the dark with keen ice. Their abnormality isn't just for show; for as long as he can remember, Xembre Adrias has been able to see the aether of all sentient. While he doesn't have full context as to what they mean, he sees the aether like Rorschach water paintings, the splashes reacting in response to the elements surrounding the individual. It can also give hint to extra entities riding the individual, such as contracted Voidsent that he refers to as 'passengers'.SLIGHTLY OVER EAGER FOOD ENTHUSIAST
Culinarian. Longterm culinarian. He's very dedicated to the arts, and occasionally runs stalls here and there for people to dine comfortably. He, also, is very easily befriendable with the help of food. No matter who you are, if you mention you might really need something to snack on, or you haven't eaten a meal in a while, he will jump on the opportunity to fix that problem.
He also often forages and hunts for the ingredients for particular recipes, ditching markets for the wilds.
OOC: Player & Notes
OOC PLAYER STUFF
I'm red/Json, either works. He/him white transguy IRL
I work off AEST, so please excuse my absolutely fucked availability. Late twenties, gay in all ways.I've been writing in XIV for five years! Main hobbies outside of roleplaying are gposing and art. Huge fan of Deftones- I get way too analytical with it and I am so sorry in advance.I have a very limited social battery!
This sort of stems to roleplay- my job sucks a lot of energy out of me, and I struggle with some anxiety in public social settings. Trying to get better with it, but I really apologize I seem quiet during them. Please don't be offended if I don't immediately add you to a social media account and only interact with you ingame/the platform we met on. If we don't click, we just don't click, and I want to keep boundaries in place.Big fan of Slice of Life, Mature/Dark Themes, and Adventure themes! I do ERP and am not going to disguise this, but this is high trust/big character chemistry. Xembre is demiromantic/poly, and needs reason to want to fuck, so please don't be offended if he rejects your character's advances.We're LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC friendly here. Disability rights. Fuck ICE and Free Palestine.
SIMPLE RULES & DNI'SIf I get an ick from you, it's not going to last.
Probably the best statement to make overall.Do not interact if you roleplay/create:
- Pedophilic themes. I don't roleplay with minors overall, but if you intend on bringing an underaged character or one depicted with underaged subtext into mature writings, I have zero interest of being near you.
- Racist/raceplay elements. Stay the hell away from me.
- With the use of Generative AI. You're not a roleplayer, or an artist, or a Gposer if you use these to do anything creative, you're just a scalper.
- Transphobes/fetishists. This goes for people with futanari or cuntboy in their profile. You know that shit is wrong.Understand that the above banned themes are non-negotiable. There's a lot more that I'd shove in here, but there's only so much you can write in one place.With this out of the way, please let me know if you have significant triggers or phobias. I am kink friendly, and this goes for both sexual and non sexual.
Let me know what you don't fly with, dark or mundane, and I'll let you know what I don't either.
ADDRESS BOOK
A small address book of notable locations- some that he frequents frequently, or avoids with his life.HIGANBANA APOTHECARY
Mateus| Mist Ward 5, Top Division Plot 20Higanbana Apothecary and Cafe is a little La Noscean-based venue, sitting in the middle of the Mist and ran by Eden Tsurugi and his husband. Far Eastern in theme and inventory, the small store boasts a formidable group of culinarians and alchemists, even boasting an infirmary now for vaccinations and hormone replacement shots. The quaint teashop's atmosphere tends to attract many adventurers to its doorstep...resources: https://hgbn-fc.carrd.co/ALBATROSS AVENUE
Mateus| Mist Ward 14, Wing 1 Room 63Albatross Avenue was once a storeroom, then was a home for two adventurers. For a spell of a twelvemoon it was abandoned, only upkeep necessary for hobbies and the occasional change of scenery, but once again it has become lively with the visage of the grayed adventurer flitting in and out.LASHING TIDES
Mateus| Mist Ward 28, Plot 23He called the mansion not a house but a tomb.Lashing Tides was a home, once, to one man and his insecurities. No longer does he hold the title, however- a local book enthusiast had made purchase from him, and taken it upon themselves to renovate the spacious grounds into a semi-public library and archive. Xembre has not been back since the deed changed hands.● This place is open to GPosing and studio means- have fun with the setup!
THE DUNGEON MANUALS are manuals written by Xembre Adrias in the form of journal entries, instructions, and sketches. There is a small chance adventurers come across his writings in the overworld, though they're less verbose and are incredibly boring. Just general 'don't do this' pamphlets and boring leaflets.
The REAL dungeon manuals, unfortunately, are still being edited by the Eorzean Adventurer's Guild.
Censorships of overshared topics, redacting seemingly irrelevant information, all those things- though, the unedited, unofficial manuals are sometimes left in unusual places for adventurers to pick up.
