At first impression:   It’s easy to note the priestessstruggles with stillness,her body constantly set to some mild fidget or weave of whimsy that might see her rock along her heels. It pairs well with the lacy garb she so commonly adorns amidst the sea of purple fabrics with black adornments; Colors she fancies should you choose to ask and the more bouncy the skirt, the closer it becomes to her favorite. Beyond the expensive nature of her attire the priestess boasts little to call to her namesake, safe foran odd auraif one might be apt to discern such magics.However time has beenunkindto the little woman be it old or new, her body caked in scars from many lifetimes of pain brought by those intolerant in their fear or merely seeking to fulfill a vendetta, you won’t know unless you ask. Nary an ilm of her body is free of thiscarnagesafe for her face, but to say it is without pain would be a lie given the missing eye from her left socket and the complex story it tells all its own.Whatever path she chooses to tread on this star, it is not one taken lightly.

OUT OF CHARACTER

  001   Absolutely no ERP   ───   While I am not one to shirk the prospects of organic grown and romantic intent between characters, I also hold to the notion that there is a time and place for everything, including ERP. As such I do not do 'quickies' or one off sessions.

  003   Lore Compliance   ───   No one person can get the lore accurate 100% of the time. However I am only looking for and or interested in people who work within or close to the confines of the lore as it has been presented to us through MSQ or any number of short stories found on the Lodestone. Though some lore bending is okay.

  005   Consent is Key   ───   I am a huge fan for darker narratives, for grunge, and especially horror, but what I don't love is any aspect of death or permanent harm thrust upon my characters without prior conversation. It shows a disrespect to me as a person, that I simply will not tolerate so consider this a first and final warning.

  002   IC ≠ OOC   ───   I shouldn't have to put this section here, but given that so many within the community use aspects of themselves as inserts for RP it warrants notice to ensure that things are kept on track. Actions that happen in character are not reflective of my out of character views or feelings on any topic.

  004   Communicate   ───   I don't subscribe to the mentality that age is equal to maturity, but I do expect the people who I RP with to be able to communicate with me to convey an absence or even if they might be late without having something dropped on me at the last minute. Emergencies are fine too, just don't leave me in the dark for a week.

  006   Mortality   ───   Vashti is heavily tied to horror elements, mostly pertaining to aspects of death, supernatural horror and body horror. Being littered with scars and having a missing eye, she struggles greatly with any aspect of body positivity. It's also been the key component to immense abuse which has resulted in SEVERE abandonment issues.

Important Personal Notes

  001   I very often create work or tasks for myself to keep the feral raccoons also known as my ADHD, at bay and distracted. This does not inherently mean I'm busy, only that I am presently occupied as a way to keep myself from stimming at jumping puzzles until 3am. If you want to do something, please just speak up and don't just assume I don't have time to do things.

  002   I run a fairly large server and I love my community, but sometimes that doesn't mix well with my ADHD. If I haven't responded in a day or two, I swear I'm not ghosting or actively ignoring you, I just might be stupid and forgot to hit send on a message because my attention was called elsewhere and forgot to return to where it was before.

Details

❝ The boundaries which divide Life from Death are at best shadowy and vague. Who shall say where the one ends, and the other begins? ❞

In a world long since forgotten there was a cloister of maidens devoted to death, molded by it, married to it, all of their life sought but a single end, but what if that end cannot be met? Vashti was entombed as a sacrifice bound to the river of souls and yet, she woke from that death as none before, thrust into the world anew. Her very essence shifted, in kind, the make of her was left more akin to one of the lingering dead she was ordained to see at peace. Broken, copper skin envelopes a remarkably small frame, and one green eye yet remains to call her own while the raven locks of shaggy hair that litter her brow care little for the tattered state she abides and falls all the same.

❛ ⸻

She was once adored and sought after as a Priestess of death. Now I have watched her struggle to ever find her place. It has been honor an privilege to be counted in her life as love and rock. To build a world that is worthy of her, so that one day all may see her as I.

⸻ ❜

She claims to be from an ancient era, where Mhach and Amdapor did war. That she was born atop a sacred mountain to her enclave, a group of people reverent to the concept of death. She speaks a tongue not heard natively in almost 1000 cycles and bridges gaps with common words most have forgotten. What can be spared as truth is that the girl was found by a Garlean military contingent where Laevius van Canis took lead. Vashti being barely 9 summers, prompted a rare moment of generosity from the grizzled veteran who promptly took her back to Garlemald where she was raised among them in the many summers to follow.Yet for all his effort, the young woman had never quite had a heart for violence aside from an unsettling want to observe it; a fact he soon realized posed a new series of problems. Armed with darker knowledge and a series of difficult choices, the man called favors, some more strained than others. The two soon found themselves in Ishgard, a place he hoped might be more hospitable to the truths he’d uncovered about his adoptive daughter. In the cycle to follow her found family in the frozen mountains continues to support her but the largest proponent among them is her love.Stoic in most regards, the initial take of the man seems to suggest he would clash with the priestess and her otherwise exuberant presence, but in truth he serves as the source of it. With time and a compassionate hand, he was able to mend the many hurts thrust upon her by an intolerant world. While some wounds still linger, Vashti is first to devote her happiness to his efforts and eagerly sees fit to return his kindness in spades.

Connections

Reyr

─── Partner
A stoic warrior of the wood turned wanderer, Reyr met Vashti by chance, the man taken with curiosity over rumors of a vile witch. It was those steps that took him further, pursuing the woman halfway across the star to spare her from a rather fatal edge. His devotion and kindness have since earned her own in kind and the two are seldom seen apart.

Esmond

─── Brother
Having heard Vashti possessed the power to see spirits and Esmond being possessed of a haunted house the knight believed her to be a perfect match. While the exorcism hadn’t exactly gone as planned the two did find much in the way of common ground and Esmond has since welcomed the woman into his home as both a ward of the estate and a sibling in all but blood.

Lyran

─── Friend
While the two could have absolutely met under better circumstances, spiting Lyran's sister still ranks among the better options at hand. Lyran was quick to prove she was more stubborn that Vashti was guarded and since then the two have since become rather close friends all things considered. Due to this fact Lyran is one of the few people to truly understand the priestess.

Sadanori

─── Friend
Sadanori had chanced upon the priestess in the wilderness of thanalan while she walked her dog. He welcomed conversation with her, unabashed by her focus on his mortality. The two have come to share many circles and interests since that day, most notably among them is Umeshu. While not a permanent fix the drink serves as a means to to prune some of Vashti’s thorny personality.

Lesalia

─── Friend
Lesalia is a collector but also a man connected and the priestess sought to see those threads applied in her favor. Her request was seemingly simple, but Lesalia soon learned it was anything but when the task almost took his life twice over. Once the dust had settled and that terror had come and gone, the two remained friends, though Lesalia is no doubt wary of further requests.

Auchont

─── Confidant
Vashti and Auchont share a common ground in many tasks given their various words attributed to the Crescent Hymn, the two also have a shared history of a faintly darker form. It’s for this reason Auchont houses some varied concerns for the priestess and while words often fail him on broaching the matter, actions speak louder than words and the man is quick to aid her when able.

Dolores

─── Friend
A witchy woman with a mysterious past, Dolores is an avid healer for anything that ails you, the catch being that you might not like how the woman conducts herself in matters of mend. If not taken with her woodland remedies the duskwight is rather dedicated to her friends and fiercely dedicated to her family.

NPCS

Infernus

─── Guardian
While it might be difficult to believe, the canine serves as a seeing eye dog and dedicated guard for the priestess. A gift from her father to assure her safety within her wide wanderings. Though who guards who is left to interpretation as she prefers to spare the hound from combat.

Laevius

─── Father
Violence and whimsy make up much of his immediate personality, which comes as no surprise given the man’s origins and past service as an officer in the Garlean military. Though this history seems to have armed the man well for the life of a mercenary; just don’t ask him about why they had to leave Garlemald.
