Potential Hooks

THIRST FOR KNOWLEDGE
More specifically, reading material of any and all kinds. He is especially interested in rare printings and obscure fiction, but won’t say no to any book he doesn't already own—a list that is slowly but surely shrinking in size.WANDERING SOUL
Due both to his life at sea and a natural wanderlust Elijah can be found to pop up just about anywhere, for any reason. It is entirely possible to just stumble upon him by happenstance.UNUSUAL AETHER *
Elijah is somewhat of an anomaly, born of both viera and voidsent blood, and his aether reflects this. If your character is aetherically sensitive they may notice this and find reason to investigate.

* (Given that this is an obvious trait if your character is sensitive to aether, consider this an open "OK" to bring this into interactions as you please, even if it is not the main focus of the interaction.)

OUT OF CHARACTER

Hello! Thanks for taking the time to check out Elijah's carrd. If you'd like to find out more, please reach out to me in game or via discord. I have been roleplaying for over fifteen years and love meeting new people and the characters and stories they create.Notes

  • Walkups: as in random /say conversation in a public map such as Limsa Lominsa. Unless Eli is in an explicitly in character area/venue, please send a /tell if you want to RP first.

  • RP Style: If I am IC, I will have the RP tag on. Otherwise, I am OOC. While I adore roleplaying in all its different forms, my preference is fully immersive RP when possible; character "voice" is clear and uses Eorzean terminology, character breaks only when necessary, etc. I tend to be a 'Mirror Roleplayer', so I can do either short or multi-paragraph posts depending on the person I am roleplaying with or the context of the situation. That said, I also fully enjoy...

  • Casual RP, Dark Themes, Lore Friendly, Slice Of Life, and Epic Stories. A note on Assault/Torture/Permanent injury - I am of the opinion that these are stories that can and, in some cases, should be told as part of the larger sum of human experience, but only when all parties involved agree on the outcomes in both the short and long term. Note that I do not play the type of character to perpetrate SA or torture of any kind, ever, and will only seriously assault or maim another if they see no other option, but I have no problem with being on the receiving end if we all are satisfied with the “script.”

  • Always keep in mind that IC and OOC must be kept separate at all times. Whatever relationship your character has with mine is not indicative of the relationship you have with me. If things get confusing I am willing to have a serious discussion before cutting the connection, but otherwise this results in a hard stop in RP and possibly in contact altogether.

  • Preferred Platform: In game over Discord. Feel free to message me on either if you would like to RP or plot!
