Emerald Sunrise

ㅤㅤAboutㅤㅤ ㅤBeebo. She/Her. 21+. EST (GMT-5).
Please be 21+ IC and OOC when RPing with me.
I prefer to schedule my RP if possible.

ㅤㅤPersonal RP Limitsㅤㅤㅤㅤ I will play mature content and themes (violence, sexuality, drug / alcohol use) as long as they're logical in a plot-driven encounter. Coarse and excessive language. Temporary injury and incapacitation. Temporary imprisonment. Most walk-up encounters.

ㅤㅤERP Limitㅤㅤ ㅤI will fade to black on graphic sex.

ㅤㅤAsk Firstㅤㅤ ㅤAsk about long-term and/or permanent injury and disfigurement. Long-term captivity or imprisonment.

ㅤㅤDo Notㅤㅤ ㅤI won't play permanent character death or rape plots.

ㅤㅤBleedㅤㅤ ㅤGiven that IC/OOC "bleed" (defined below) is quite common in the RP community, I prefer my RP partners to recognize that IC does NOT equal OOC and try to minimize bleed to the best of your ability.Bleed here is defined as "when emotions bleed over between player or character, in either direction." Bleed is experienced by a player when their thoughts and feelings are influenced by those of their character, or vice versa. With increasing bleed, the border between player and character becomes more and more transparent. It makes sense to think of the degree of bleed as a measure of how separated different levels of play (actual/inner/meta) are.

ㅤㅤDisclaimerㅤㅤ ㅤIf an aspect of RP makes you uncomfortable in a scene we're playing, please send me a /tell, letting me know. Communication is very important, more important than potentially keeping immersion.

ㅤㅤLooksㅤㅤ

“Emerald Sunrise”' is a woman whose alias is more solid and real than her name. An eternal work in progress, she always considers herself to be lacking and is constantly at war with herself.
A Hellsguard Roegadyn who is taller than she is comfortable with, Sunny often makes a point to be different from the average person’s idea of a Roegadyn. Despite the fact that she towers over most of the population of Eorzea and beyond, Sunny makes a distinct effort to hold herself with the stillness and grace usually attributed to smaller, more lithe people. Often uncomfortably encased in plate as part of her martial profession, the woman is equally at home in rich silk-lined robes. When moving, Sunny can pick up a good amount of speed, but the unwieldy aspects of her beloved ornate coats always seem come as a surprise to her.More often than not, when Sunny finally sheds her voluminous robes or heavy armor, it is to be able to wear whatever makes her comfortable (and whatever she damn well pleases). In these cases, the woman loves to cover herself in jewelry and soft clothes. Anything uncomfortable or weighty is left behind when she goes out without intending to find an altercation, although most likely Sunny will retain at least one blade on her person. Despite her current (unfortunate, in her mind) status as a healer, she was raised in Limsa Lominsa and has no qualms with running a man through if the choice is between her or him.Her hair is kept short--a brutal change from the once long and beautiful waves that once graced her head before she dropped everything and left for Ishgard one morning. Between the always-imminent displeasure and the tattoo she wears like warpaint, Sunny does not appear to have a bedside manner-- despite being a talented healer.Scars & Markings ㅤ;ㅤAcross her face, Sunny bears a distinctive tattoo—anyone with a knowledge of Sea Wolf symbolism would understand that her tattoos are a mark of shame, someone who has made an inexcusable betrayal and been branded for it. The mark is unusual: she doesn’t take any measures to hide it and the lines of the brand are unusually clear, as though she did not fight the marking. She seems unaware of it most of the time, but she is frequently caught touching it during periods of introspection. The mark itself is intertwined with her aether like a parasite--a blight on her person in every way. Additionally, ever since their daughter was born, Sunny and Hesher have been working on a large, arcanima-based tattoo of protection on her back, that can be seen peeking out of the various comfortable oufits Sunny wears. Her eyes have dark circles beneath them no matter how rested she may seem, probably due to running ragged chasing her rambunctious spawn.Voice ㅤ;ㅤ Sunny's voice is deep, as most voices are with a body as large as hers. However, she speaks quietly and will notably remain quiet even in boisterous company. Like the rest of her body movements, she keeps her voice muted. A sharp contrast, perhaps, from the stereotypical image of the loud, drunken, Limsan Roegadyn that people are so familiar with.Clothing ㅤ;ㅤ Sunny has a taste for fine fabrics and heavy ornamentation. This would be surprising to those who may have known her in the past, but this Roegadyn is less concerned about maintaining stoic appearances for anyone anymore. Perhaps her brother's wealth had something to do with influencing her tastes, but questions about her family that may appear as prying will be met with hostility.

ㅤㅤMoodsㅤㅤ

Reformation is a Twisting Path
Dressed as a oft-dour mage, Sunny often surprises people by being far more engaging than her old compatriot, Dhatura. She loves jokes, even ones that aren’t funny. She can hold conversations made entirely of questions and can parcel out facts and scorn in equal measure. A departure from the traditionally stoic student, Sunny often sasses more than she should—and while she tries very hard to keep her anger in check (she sees it as the ugliest aspect of her race, something that should never be embraced), her other emotions have a tendency to slip out, though she is rarely “emotional” in public. Sadness, grief, and other personal emotions are kept under wraps as much as she can manage, while irritation, scorn, amusement and other social emotions are far more freely given.She’s a talker, but Sunny can tell the difference between what should be said and what shouldn’t the majority of the time. Chances are, if she says something, it was on purpose. She rarely lies these days, but she has never been one to underestimate the lie of omission, and has no fear of being vague (even though she loathes it in others). Her personal code, however, forbids her from lying, so while she is very good at it, she now avoids it at almost all costs.It can seem like Sunny is a contradiction at all times: a woman with no pride, who is constantly wounded by it all the time; a woman who struggles between maintaining an image and practice of largeness and strength, but who seems disgusted by the idea that she needs it or wants it. She will be the first to discount herself, declaring herself honorless and useless with great abandon, but observers will note that she makes great effort when she can to prove the usefulness of her existence. Honor will not be mentioned, but she will usually take the most moral course of action, though morality for her is still flexible and often breaks from the more traditional senses. When meeting new people, Sunny will often respond non-confrontationally, smiling and agreeing, throwing out bad jokes and whatever assurances her partner-in-conversation needs to hear as long as it is honest. She spends time measuring the stranger through conversation, deciding how far she might want to take the acquaintance. Even conversations she does not enjoy, she finds interesting. Knowing how people react to her and the environment is essential.For those she does know, Sunny is often mistaken as their lover, their romantic partner, though this is rarely (if ever) the case. This most likely stems from the intensity of her actions towards people she’d rather see alive, though she will never speak positively of loyalty.Additionally, while Sunny is often mistaken for a man while in armor, and her race is sometimes confused, Sunny is constantly aware of the fact that she is a woman and a Roegadyn and is always trying to distance herself from it. She is confused by the pride of birthright that so many carry with them like a badge of honor and is disdainful of those who would rather be all that is expected of them rather than a person in their own right.Older than most new adventurers, Sunny is becoming increasingly concerned about her appearance. She fears becoming matronly, being dismissed for being feminine, told to go home. Anyone telling her to put down her blade or her star globes will be met with hostility. It doesn’t matter that she would rather not use her weapon: it doesn’t matter if she’d truly be happier and better off in another profession-- this is what she’s chosen, and she will see it through.Rather than meeting a problem head on, Sunny will be the one to find a solution around the problem (though she will never ignore the problem or avoid it). She prides herself on being able to speak to people well most of the time, and practices diplomacy when she can.

ㅤㅤStatsㅤㅤ

Likes:
■Reading: Sunny reads an obscene amount when left alone too long.
■Organization: All of Sunny's belongings are carefully cared for and everything from her bags to her room is extremely organized to the point where anything that she designates as “hers” can seem cold and unwelcoming.
■Botany: The Roegadyn has long history with botany and agriculture. She enjoys the puzzle of using her knowledge and skills of plant life towards healing.
■Oschon: While rarely mentioned, Sunny is deeply religious and devoted to her patron, the Wanderer. She believes that religion is a thing that can only be experienced in private and that each experience is personal, so she tends to avoid speaking on it at great lengths.
■Star Charting and Cartography: They have helped free her from living life in constraints and she now uses them as a focus for her creativity and healing magic.
■Personal Achievements: Why do something if you aren't proud of it?
■Jokes and Clever People: They make life go by faster.
■People Watching: It's how she got hired and fired.Dislikes:
■Foreign Foods: Not simply "foods from other countries" but "food she or a loved one did not prepare". After a long history of dealing with poisons and a darker side of mankind, Sunny almost always only eats and drink food she prepares herself. Often, she resorts to drinking from a hip flask, rather than any cup.
■Helpless Victims: Sunny won't help them if she can get away with it, but she will put a blade in their hands and a gun on their hip and teach them to fend for themselves.
■Addiction: She's seen enough of it and it won't be allowed back into her life.
■Confinement: Sunny needs wide open spaces to breathe and live. Staying still for too long is practically painful to her.
■Racial Pride and Racism: Sunny dislikes her background, so why should she judge anyone else by theirs? Be your own person, not your family's.
■Poor Liars: Why do it if you aren't going to do it well?
■"Loyalty" and "Bravery": These two ideals have thrown more people to their deaths this week than Witchdrop has claimed through the entire Dragonsong War. They are only stupid words made to make men stupider.
■Being Embarrassed: Are you saying you like being embarrassed?
■Unnecessary Violence: Do it right: One strike in the dark where no one can see it. None of this brandishing steel around in the daylight nonsense.
■People who embrace their negative sides: If she can pull it together and try to be a better person, then you can to.Fears:
■Roegadyn Men: Her life has been filled with issues stemming from them and she has little desire to welcome them into her life with open arms.
■Death of a Loved One: Sunny doesn't have very many of those left and she would do almost anything to keep the ones she has alive.
■Imprisonment: Sunny has a storied past and while it hasn't technically come back to bite her, it always could in the future.Trivia:
■Favorite Food: She probably should be tired of it by now from all the traveling she's done, but Sunny loves jerky of every kind and will pack tons of the stuff for long trips.
■Favorite Drink: Strangers might tell you "water" since that is all she will drink around them, but Sunny loves a cup of spiced orange tea when she gets it from the right places.
■Favorite Color: Wine Red, preferably on a beautiful, soft fabric wrapped around her.

ㅤㅤAt Inns & Adventurer's Guildsㅤㅤ
■ Perhaps you've seen Sunny sitting idly in an inn, at a table alone. If so, she almost always has a spread of fortune telling cards laid out in front of her, idly turning them over again and again. Her deck is extremely worn - the faces of some of the cards are completely worn away, but the cards that remain are exquisitely hand painted with expensive materials including gold bordering all the cards.
■ Most notably "the Tower" card is worn away to almost nothing in her deck. For some reason, it is clearly her most used card.ㅤㅤMysterious Mapsㅤㅤ
■ She runs Sunrise Cartography, a map shop that she rarely mans and which pops up wherever she is.
■ She will travel to make a map custom for a client.
■ Some maps are designated as "special" and marked up sky high.
■ Some people who have bought her maps have disappeared and their bodies never recovered.
■ P O R T A L M A P SㅤㅤChocobo Breedingㅤㅤ
■ Have you seen her bird? He's a monster--a dreadnought of a fowl and gentle as a lamb when he works with her. He's a very unique color, too. Word is, her bird might be from special stock. Good to know if you're in the market.

ㅤㅤRenowned Limsan Free Company "THE JUTE"ㅤㅤ
■ Sunny carries a worn embroidered emblem on the largest of her visible purses strapped to her hip. It is meticulously cared for and in the shape of a 7-POINTED STAR with a SHIELD.
■ THE JUTE used to be well known and well regarded among the Free Companies of Limsa Lominsa. They specialized in high seas missions for the Admiral and her burgeoning grand company. Those missions ranged from dangerous rescue missions to high profile VIP escorts. The leader of the Free Company, Tragan, put the well being of the citizens of Limsa Lominsa over everything.
■ THE JUTE disbanded some twenty-odd years ago after the death of their leader, Tragan.
■ It looks like this mage, Sunny, still constantly holds herself at attention. Was she once a soldier for them? Surely she's not old enough for that and she doesn't look like a combat spell slinger. How odd.

ㅤㅤCrystalline Conflict.ㅤㅤ
■ Perhaps you've seen Sunny watching at the Crystalline Conflict grounds. She always seems to watch the fighters and (perhaps especially) the healers with disdain bordering on disgust. Even so, she competes at the event with alarming frequency.
■ This woman, clearly some sort of mage, has the solid stance of a martial soldier even from within her heavy robes. When competing, she targets the opposing healers with single minded ferocity. Why so intense?
■ Sunny almost always attends this event alone. This is an extremely social event, but the Roegadyn doesn’t seem to treat it as such. There is rarely any joy or revelry in her expression when watches the combatants. Despite her flashy armor, she has very little showmanship.ㅤㅤTattoo of Dishonorㅤㅤ
■ Sunny has a very distinctive tattoo wrapped across her face that she makes no effort to hide. In fact, the lines on it are so still that it seems as though she must have been very accommodating for the person who did the tattoo to keep it so neat.
■ Her tattoo is a mark steeped in Sea Wolf symbolism--and if that wasn't odd enough on a Hellsguard, it's also less of a tattoo and more of a brand across her face. It's a brand for someone who has committed an unspeakable act and been caught. Anyone with a history of Sea Wolf symbolism would know this.
■ Equally strange is the pulsing aether steeped into the very ink of the tattoo. What a puzzle.
