▍ ❝   RULE ONE.
RESPECT.
I will be respectful of your boundaries-thus, be respectful of mine.
I have a severe phobia of fungi and parasitic infections-if given a heads up first, I will be alright. Please do not press a topic such as that, or triggering topics, if I'm uncomfortable and say to stop.▍ ❝   RULE TWO.
MUTUALITY.
You are as deserving of honesty and equal footing as I am-please do not attempt to Godmode, control, or otherwise OOCly force actions onto my character, or metagame. If it comes to such a trouble, I will likely speak to you beforehand about concerns, in the case of confusions or mistakes in communication.
This also goes for shipping-I love to write romance and otherwise, however it has to be based in actual character and interaction chemistry to pursue anything.

▍ ❝   RULE THREE.
EXPLICIT INTERACTIONS.
I am very, very unlikely to write smut with anyone unless I am comfortable with them-I usually have to establish a friendship first. I don't really do ERP without plot. I do like to joke about sexual things often, but please don't try to push me or my OCs into sexual situations if I say no.
I only write with individuals over 18.▍ ❝   RULE FOUR.
SEPARATION
Please know that IC does not equal OOC, and I hold that to others as well-my character might be a voidsent and a bit spooky at times, but please know I'm literally just a small-pint homosexual IRL, and I always want to talk things out if they make you uncomfortable! If anything goes wrong or you have any inquiries about my character you can absolutely message or send me a /tell.

▍ ❝   RULE FIVE.
THEMES
I don't mind darker themes and multiple types of RP, I'm open to most anything! Though, there are a few hard extremes I won't write such as sexually explicit assault themes and things similar-especially involving underage individuals.
If you are involved in actively writing sexually explicit things with underaged characters or individuals, please avoid.▍ ❝   RULE SIX.
AVAILABILITY
I usually write in larger FC-based settings to get involved with people, however asking to write with me is always welcome! Please keep in mind, however, that I have many IRL limitations to my energy, and a rotating sleep schedule. I am always happy to, if needed, put a pin in an RP and pick it back up when we can both sit down to write, or shifting it to discord, but will not tolerate aggression or guilting on part of my real life intervening in writing.

void-laden

Their aether is notably void-saturated to an uncomfortable degree-those with capable aether-sense will likely be able to detect something akin to voidsent when they're about-though they seem to avoid the usual spaces that one might find such creatures lurking, often happier in a crowd and able to watch the oncoming chaos of daily life.Those with higher sense might be able to detect a little further, should they try to determine the nature of this creature.
(I am very open to curious whispers <3)

healing hands

Growing the way that it has, Kiri has learned quickly how difficult things can be living job to job-and how quickly tides can turn on the people taking hits for you. Through that-and for another, much more personal reason-it learned healing the best it could with its' aetherial nature, turning to the arcane arts of astrologian schooling to gain a better grasp on the fate of others and their short, slow little lives. It often shows an impulsiveness towards these skills, and more than one beat up bundle of dungeon delvers have found it buzzing through like a hummingbird, slinging healing left and right over the lot of them before disappearing as quickly as it appeared. They seem to avoid staying in parties long enough for many to form attachments to it.

travelling scholars

Having been plucked from the underbrush at quite a young age by a wandering adventuring party-mostly consisting of a group of young, and somewhat overeager, Sharlayan scholars, astrologians and aetherologists seeking money for research-they spent a good amount of their years with their own curiosity leading them alongside their new 'family', studying the world around them while those bringing them along studied it in turn. This has often led it to linger in many inns and adventurer-hovels, often lingering at the fringes to prevent being detected.

echoes of the thirteenth

It seems quick to locate and identify other voidsent-kin and similar presences, a keen sense of aetherial differences around them--but being as they are, it's often easy for voidsent to pick up on their presence in turn-an strong soul, primarily Source-formed; The result of this being they have the resilience of a being rejoined as those of the Source would.This has led to a few altercations in the past with hungering voidsent seeking to eat it, or brief-yet terrifying-brushes with reapers.
It has a fondness for the troupe around Papa Gruff and others of the like, and can be found quite easily breezing around at Saint's Wake events.

tracker for hire

Though somewhat uninvolved in the more person-hunting part of the bounty hunting business, Kiri can be hired for aetherial tracking-as well as their healing aid-in seeking out dangerous quarry, as well as outbreaks of wild or overly aggressive animals.The cost is often surprisingly cheap in gil-in turn that they ensure to leave some of the prey behind, rather than taking it all for some stuffed trophy.It's found it a good way to get some gil, to get good work, and to get a good meal out of honest business-the target beast's aether and meat a welcome meal in turn for their services.

sharlayan ties

Many of the party that had taken in Kiri returned to Sharlayan, with their studies-which may or may not have been immediately locked away in the forbidden vault.However, despite the many decades since this stir of chaos, there are still quite a few old rumours floating about Sharlayan of this experimental approach in regards to 'raising' a voidsent and having a harmless method of interaction rather than bargaining and entreating into dark arts.

Noah Biennrosach

Once a man of mystery to the creature, Kiri happened to encounter Niall on a chance-and, quick to notice aetherial oddity, she was quick to snoop. He's well-spoken, well-dressed and seems to keep his secrets close to his chest-a dangerous combination for an eternally curious being.Despite his secretive nature, she quickly weaseled her way into finding out that she'd bitten off far more than she could chew--but given his appreciation for her company, and his surprising gentleness towards her, it's not as though that's a bad thing, in her opinion.She's usually at his side in accompanied events, often dragging him to things of interest by the arm.

Ljutko Ellasch

Primarily known as 'Yookko' or 'Yukko' from a young age, Ljutko is one of those still alive from the party that took in the voidsent as a fledgling-a gleaner of many years, well-storied in his travels.Kiri takes the time now and then to go and check in on him when they can-usually with one guise or another-and sends him letters back and forth to let him know new things they've found just as they do for the others.They regard him more carefully in his older age, and dislike thinking about how his hair is greying more and more.

Cyprus Grimvale

Encountered as security at the fighting-pit known as the Styx, Cyprus currently knows the mimic only as its' current face-and has already taken more than enough risks for her from the pull of his soft-hearted openness.A former member of the Bozjan resistance, he's seen more than his share of Imperial war, and is currently settling himself into an easier life amidst the folks at the dive bar. A reaper in training of his own volition, he's unawares to just how close to the void he is, at the moment.Now if only he could figure out how to get that jobstone working and deal with the avatar inside...

Anton Ainsworth

A man of sharp mind and shrewd wit, Anton is a member of the Sharlayan upper echelon-and for good reason. An Archon with many years of dedicated study in the long-dead cities of Mhach and its' people, the presence of Kiri lingering as a remnant of Mhachi rituals and magic-as well as its' base discovery originating within the ruins of the city-piqued interest enough for him to track it down to speak with it.Finding an Archon across the table-someone known for having a good amount of curious and often obscure information-with an interest in its' nature and origin, Kiri struck a quickly-set and rather friendly-intent deal: It was never one for interrogations, but to freely give and be given information in an exchange- details and knowledge of his own interests and studies in return for learning more of the odd creature-seemed quite fair to itself.It remains in easy correspondence with the man, a true scholar at heart; He knows where to find it if he needs to.

Zihji'li

A surprise acquaintance met in the Tulliyolal markets both knowledgeable in aetherial studies as well as esoteric and oft out of the way forms of magic, Zihji has become a common ally and friend in the mimic's life-and it oft works alongside him as Kiri on one project or another.A cheery man who's been put through the wringer more times than can be counted, he bears a similar curiosity to itself-and that often leads them into situations of having to sidestep trouble.

Gale Sinuo

Met through Zihji and the Styx, Gale is an odd case-an aetherial black hole, not quite akin to a voidsent but with enough comparisons that she finds herself inquisitive and now involved in his absolutely botched aetherial struggle.Grown from a rough life into a fighter for both survival and fun, the hunter seeking aid in aetherial matters has entreated her for help--and has found himself now bound to the creature through her own curiosity.
