"The White Flame" & "Wizened Lily".
Rules.
.
"I love you-- I love you, but I am turning to my verses and my heart is closing like a fist."
✧
21+.
For ALL RP! Not only am I in my 30s and entirely uncomfortable with the idea of RPing with anyone under that bracket, but much of what I explore theme-wise is not, in any capacity, appropriate to co-write with people so much younger than me. Being OOCly younger than 25 is even pushing it for my comfort, tbh.Sorry, but I'm very much unbudging.
Style.
Script RP is fine for venues and when the energy just isn't all there, but my personal preference leans more towards introspective writing and poeticism!What little tics come forward when they try to lie? What clues can you give me about the way they work from just this interaction? What do they feel or think that they try to hide, but it comes out in their expression? Hook me!
✧
Bigotry.
I have zero tolerance for OOC -isms and -phobias , towards me or my characters.In the same vein, I would prefer to pre-discuss any of these themes before they present in RP. I'm not opposed to writing them! I'm just not a big fan of being surprised by it esp. at my OC.
Damage
No Death or Damage without consent. Love giving my characters new scars! But I don't love it when people try to give them scars without asking and/or doing damage rolls. Not a big fan when they try to auto-kill them, either, so please don't do that or I will end the scene and/or interaction entirely.
✧
Bleed
Excessive 'Bleed' is a no-go for me. Sometimes people get upset OOCly and while that's entirely understandable, I don't appreciate poor treatment because of character interactions and will not tolerate it, either. Talk to me if there's an issue! But I won't deal with repeat, undiscussed bad behavior.
RP/ERP
I very much do not ERP with Lalafell or any character under the age of 25. Vibh is a man in his (equivalent) 50s, he doesn't need to be bopping around with 22 year olds on his arm.Just as well, if my RP tag isn't on, I'm not in character . Please respect my space and energy, as it's often very low.
About the Mun
Howdy!
✧ I am 30 yrs old !
✧ I am mostly Lore-abiding, but I Lorecraft * a little, as well.
✧ I write a lot of Horror, Mild Gore , and Gothic Dramaticism. If you're squeamish, that's okay! I can tailor some of the grisly bits out,
but if flesh-eating Vampires aren't your thing, you might wanna look somewhere else.
✧ Similarly, however, I am NOT interested in writing torture porn, non-con, or any eye / mouth trauma. Ever. Now for a few keys! - About my Writing -
I grew up reading, parroting, and watching Gothic literature and visual medias! So, a lot about my personal style is lent from pieces like Carmilla (J. Sheridan Le Fanu), Interview With a Vampire (1994), Phantom of the Opera (Gaston Leroux), and The God Of Endings (Jacqueline Holland).
A lot of Prose, Alliteration, and Assonance!- About *Lorecrafting & Lore-adherence -
For the most part, I follow whatever Lore is available to us about the world of FFXIV, however, I am also happy to fill in the blanks with my own imagination + Lore we have about adjacent topics / sentiments / afflictions and even Lore from other FF games! If the Devs do it, I can do it lmao
Likewise, I have 4 years of crafted Lore about Nightkin!Anything else, you can just ask! I have Discord and Lamentorum, but you can see the most of me & Vibh in Everlight's Server where I work as a Manager!

Personality.
Overview. The least open of any book, Vibhrama, with pages made brittle by age; worm-eaten and yellowed, his secrets tucked between the foul rot of Grief and a Sire that'd hold his tongue for him if he ever failed to.
Stunted and repressed. Bitter and short-tempered.Left behind in a world that moves too quickly to catch up to.Not taking to others easily, he often keeps to himself and prefers the same; firm denials threaded quiet through the teeth, not-quite-soft. Quick to flee any situation that doesn't appear to directly benefit him, though-- like any 'Devil'-- he's much too keen to pacts.And keen to losing interest with a lack of one. Ideals.
✧ Pleasure and the pursuit of knowledge are the only purpose of life, but excess and abuse upsets it's balance.✧ Power is wasted if threatened against those without it.✧ Men are worse "Monsters" than any Nightkin. Prejudices.

Backstory.
Little is known of Vibhrama's lived experiences and, littler still, of his early life outside the brittle pieces he deigns to dispense here and there.A noblewoman of affluence, a thrice-widowed academic, the gloom that creeps into the hearts of old, dying men too weary to cling to the last light of life? Whichever may hold the truth-- and perhaps all do-- it's clear he contents himself in neither validating nor disproving the rumors he takes, unwillingly, in tow.((WIP))
Writing Ex. + Hooks
— "Lightborn"
"Permanence." The antithesis to whatever 'Umbral nothing' rides the red in his veins: perpetuity, restlessness, hunger. "... Stasis." And 'an end to everything'... 'It may as well have been', he thinks-- concedes in a look, the sear of that Thing's light threatening the outer edge of his leftmost eye; burning white into his vision."Inert and ugly."

Nightkin (An expansion).
Fitting Into XIV.
While Vibhrama began as a VtM + XIV character, he's since become mostly Lore-compliant. I enjoy the world of XIV and love to play (mostly) within the bounds of it where I can, but due to much of the lore around Nightkin being non-existent, I've had to put in a bit of work to really flesh them out as a Sub-species! Using pieces of existing, adjacent lore + general VtM concepts (where they fit seamlessly) to net together many years' worth of NPCs, a large and very old Clan (dating back to the Mhachi times), Blood Magic based around Black Magic, and much else!Things like:
— 'Bloodlines' that stem from pacts with individual Voidsent.— A rare few being able to devour the hearts of their Kin and succeed at inheriting their knowledge or power, but at a monumental risk.— All means of feeding on Aether being acceptable, but some being heavily preferred between Lines and even Clans.
(Due to either culture, ritual, ease, or the nature of their Pact.)——— And this is by no means an exhaustive list! So, if you're still here and you're interested in a bit of "Creative Gap-Filling" (or want more lore for your Vampires), please enjoy a little of what I've compiled over the years,
and a proper elaboration on what makes Vibh 'Vibh'. ❤
Physiology.
Vibhrama's Vampirism.
Exhibiting traits both "typical" of the 'First House' and those unique to his own blood, 'The Lily' makes for a particularly potent Elder amongst Thavnair's Nightkin. However, like all who made the Pact, he is not without the odd weakness-- checks and balances.Some are common to nearly all Aether Vampires. Some rare, and others: entirely individual to Vibhrama or his Direct Line.These being:
— Far-sightedness. Keen where it counts, but unable to see too much too close to his face. A byproduct of being born near-entirely blind. Compensation to make for a better, more efficient Killer.— "Refined" Palette. A distaste for any food that isn't spiced or savory. Meat or Blood. All else being foul and disgustingly sweet.— The 'Black Rose', or anything that obstructs / limits Aether intake. This can permanently sever limbs, staunch healing abilities, etc.((WIP))
The Mechanics of "Turning".
— Upon turning, Nightkin develop traits mirroring that of said Voidsent's own, creating 'Bloodline Inheritences'.
— The 'Change' can also be affected by personal genetics, state of being at the time of turning, abilities, disabilities, etc. (WIP) Bloodlines: House Prabhakar. The Blackthorn Tribunal. ((WIP))
