Tsuchi's RP Carrd!

Welcome to my humble carrd. This mainly focuses on Lumi, however if you'd like to connect and develop something new, I'll happily create more characters as needed if there's a particular thing you're going for.RP Status: Open!
Feel free to reach out to see if we'd be good writing partners :)
I prefer long form/Novella RP through discord; in game is not really my cup of tea (I'm bad at it and my timezone sucks!)

RP Preferences

  • I write third person POV, past tense; feel free to use your preferred style

  • I typically write a couple paragraphs comfortably and more if desired. No length requirement though so please do whatever you're comfortable with! :)

  • Comfortable with darker/adult themes

  • Separation between player and character; please don't forget that we are separate entities. My character's views may not reflect my own

  • I am ok with creating multiple AUs and pre-established relationships. Want me to create a new character for a particular idea you wanted to explore? Hell yeah, let's do it!

  • Diverting from canon is ok as well, let's build a world together! (I find lorebending quite fun)

  • I'm open to becoming friends outside of the RP!

  • I love all types of roleplay from angst to adventure to romance so hit me with your preferences! I primarily enjoy the dark and grotesque with a dabble of fluff. I throw my characters through the wringer.

  • I'm ok with playing canon characters/doubling

  • Discord as preferred medium to rp, I don't know much about in game RP

  • Questions about anything? Ask away!

Lumina Ayers

  • Lumina is her given name, however she introduces herself as Ayers, her family name. Either name works. If she //asks// you to call her Lumi, it means she likes/trusts you!

  • Certified short lizard

  • Lovingly nicknamed "Gysahl" for her affinity and love for chocobo

  • Hails from the East; initially fled to Ul'dah to become a racer but was called upon for her aptitude in healing

  • Has a bit of a temper when working; however her cold words are contradicted by kindness that indicates she cares very much

  • When getting to know other people Ayers seems to be quite anxious and nervous. She is far from being charismatic

  • Originally Raen, her scales and horns transformed to brilliant crystal after going through aether dialysis™

  • Her magics are extremely potent as her body - namely her scales - act as both a magnet and storage for aether

  • As a result of her affinity to aether, her body is physically very weak and Ayers is found to get sick often

  • Hates using her magic offensively and may decline to do so. It is stained red after calling upon the power of the blood lily and often fills people with great discomfort

  • She loves culture and food. It's probably the easiest way to her heart other than listening to her yap about stars or chocobo

Bio

Lumina was a simple au ra, born to a quiet village in the outskirts of Doma. They were humble farmers living a simple, hardworking life that she loved. Her family would tend to crops and every so often, sail to trade with foreigners who docked at Kugane, thus leading to her dual life in Yanxia and Kugane. Through this steady stream of visitors, Lumi was able to scrape together the basics of the arcane, occasionally offering her wares (without the permission of her parents) for an extra hour or two of teaching.When tension was at an all time high and conflict boiled over, her home was caught in the cross-fire of war. Lumi lost her best friend to the Garleans and her other was horribly wounded. Many lives were lost and while the refugees dispersed to rebuild, the young au ra chose to cross the sea to begin her life anew.She found herself often wondering how her life would be if she followed her passion for racing rather than her prowess for healing at times. Topics regarding her home and abandoned aspirations is still a sore spot... though perhaps it's never too late to nudge her back into the fray of racing.Truth be told unlike many, Lumi is far from being an adventurer at heart. She grew tired, being weathered by stress and tragedy. It left her craving stability and longing for a quiet life and close friends. Despite this, the small dumb lizard would never stand idle while lifes are at stake, constantly pushing herself to keep fighting.

"They want a hero. Ayers is just a name attached to the current one. Someone else could go and save our world and I'd soon be forgotten."

Here's a bit of a sample to give you a rough idea of how I write! I'm pretty flexible and 100 - 300 words is a pretty comfy spot for me, though I can write less or more depending on the scene and preferences of my roleplay partner! I am ok with any length and the amount I yap will differ according to everyone's preferences of course :)

Where was she? It was all so confusing. She opened her eyes to see the night sky blackened as pillars of smoke climbed higher and higher. It threatened to flood the stars and devour the moon in its insatiable hunger.Lumina watched as a supporting beam of the building beside her gave way to an inferno of orange, causing the entire house to crash before her. She inhaled sharply and instinctively causing heat and smoke to flow into her lungs, immediately causing her to recoil in both confusion and pain. Sputtering and waving her hands in a flurry to bat away ash from her nose and mouth she crawled away from the wreck before she too was consumed.What had happened? Why was her home on fire?The petite au ra felt the dread finally hit the pit of her stomach. It twisted and writhed in agony as realization gripped her heart. Gone. It was all gone. Everything and everyone was to be burned until there was nothing left. Were there any other survivors? Hell, if there were they needed to run… as far as their legs could take them and then some.There was little time to waste. Lumina strained as she pushed herself up onto her own two shaky feet, moaning in agony as the flames licked at her heels with a primal indiscriminate hunger. She needed to move if she didn't want her home to become her pyre, but there was so little strength to spare in her tired limbs.“Help…” the woman practically whimpered in desperation, yet there was no one left to hear her cries. She stumbled away towards the river, eyes beginning to water as fresh tears rolled down her cheeks. Were they from the smoke or the pain or the grief?

  • You are asked for some mercenary work by a mysterious woman. She offers to pay you for the service of acting as her guard and the job seems simple; keep her safe during her travels of mending the broken and aiding the sick. Her aether is remarkable and she seems to be able to stabilize even the worst of wounds and wrangle the most damaged souls back from the brink. While her prowess for magics seem to be nothing short of a miracle, you can't help but feel... off put by her abilities.

  • You stumble upon a figure donning a blue chocobo racer mask and they don't seem keen on allowing their identity to slip. They dash off on their bird, much to the dismay of some enthusiastic fans. Later - fates willing - you bump into a shy woman with the very same mask stuffed in her pack. She quietly pleads you to keep her secret of her dual life and offers coin if you are willing to honor her request.

  • People are unhappy and life is rough. You find a woman being frisked by bandits which she tries to placate by forfeiting the coin she currently had on her. They are not content and persist. They draw their blades on her and she refuses to fight back until one inflicts a rather nasty wound on her. She is forced to defend herself, using what feels like bastardized magics that are stained red by her own blood. She fends them off and the air seems tense and uneasy. Suddenly she is looking right at you, eyes wide with horror.

  • AUs that I can also create prompts/hooks for: Arcadion, Reaper!Lumi, sineater, D&D, and so on. Happy to make an AU for any media I know of :)

Here are some other ideas I had. As your local lorebender who LOVES changing things up, please keep in mind that I'm a weirdo who just wants to have fun! Only T'ryhse is fleshed out, the others are very rough concepts. If they interest you, feel free to let me know and we can build more and/or tweak to fit your desired scenario if you've a certain itch to scratch!

  • Some may call him mad, others obsessed. He would claim that he is simply dedicated to his work. Faust (name open to change, haven't decided race yet... viera, maybe?) can be quite fanatical. Whether it be medical malpractice or straight up murder, he isn't afraid to dirty his hands in order to satiate his gluttonous curiosity. Of course this recipe for disaster would make for a rather toxic individual, however Faust has long abandoned his desire to appease the general populace... or so he believed. Only his sister Myst was able to understand that Faust's rather destructive tendencies were a culmination of a maddening desire for knowledge and an inability to express himself in any other way.

  • Interactions with this character would probably be on the darker, more violent side cause I envisioned an absolute freak. The type that would lovingly carve something up and obsess over the grotesque. I can of course tone him down or gear the story more towards fixing the idiot and him learning healthier ways of expressing himself. Viper or reaper energy? I'm also willing to genderbend Faust.

  • While slightly better than her younger brother, it'd be a stretch to consider Mystrival as 'good'. Self-serving and an esteemed caster by name and mettle, she is equally guilty by enabling Faust. While he hungers for the physical, Myst yearns for the aetherial. She finds herself directing her sibling's attention at things that interest her and scavenges anything magical in the wake of his destruction. This isn't to say that she hates or manipulates her brother-- quite the opposite. Faust is one of the few confidants that Myst trusts and she will go at length to protect her brother.

  • Definitely more chill than Faust but still quite unhinged! I imagine Myst to be black mage adjacent. I'm also willing to genderbend her as well!

  • T'rhyse is a creation of grief and longing; the masterful creation of an elite pictomancer clinging to the past. Illness had claimed her husband and in an act of desperation she tried to bring him back to life; to recreate him with paint, inks, and aether. What was born was not her husband. She created a man with no memories of fondness, nor experience with love. He was a blank slate who craved a live of his own. With the need of consistent aether yet the inability to create his own, the animated miqo'te turned to alchemy to keep himself afloat.
