rules
ㅤOne.ㅤㅤI 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.ㅤTwo.ㅤㅤAsk about long-term and/or permanent injury and disfigurement. Long-term captivity or imprisonment.ㅤThree.ㅤㅤI won't play permanent character death or rape plots.ㅤFour.ㅤㅤIf 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.
ㅤBleed.ㅤ 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.

ㅤethnicity:ㅤ ㅤSharlayan. You know, like the kind from "Sharlay".

ㅤmental health:ㅤ ㅤOh boy.
ㅤThe Twelve:ㅤ ㅤAlthyk is their patron.
ㅤalignment:ㅤ ㅤChaotic Good
ㅤmbti:ㅤ ㅤENTP-T - Quick-witted and audacious, Debaters aren’t afraid to disagree with the status quo. Few things light up people with this personality type more than a bit of verbal sparring.
ㅤnotable skills:ㅤ ㅤMokkri can mimic almost anything -- voices, sounds, skills, movements, etcetera-- that they have experienced before. Unfortunately, this doesn't extend to being very creative or imaginative. Also, they have a very plastic appearance and can shapeshift -- usually this happens as a result of fight or flight instincts, or because of deep, internal thoughts and desires, but more recently they've been trying to learn to change their body for cosmetic purposes.
ㅤAppearanceㅤㅤ Usually an approximation of a midlander man these days, Mokkri is much more than than their eye of allagan red, or their circuit board patterned skin.Mokkri is a red-headed midlander whose fashionable exterior masks an impish taste for fun that is only overcome by a single-minded immersion with their personal interests and education. A newish transplant from "Sharlay", she came to Eorzea to learn the secrets of Eorzean metalcraft and working with her hands.■Scars and Markings: Mokkri has one violently violet eye and one Allagan red eye. Also, a faint cyan circuit board pattern of Allagan design is constantly flickering and shifting through their skin, but a nice person wouldn’t mention it, okay?
■Voice: Mokkri’s voice is so completely average, it's hard to pinpoint who is speaking in a crowd. They usually speak with genuine enthusiasm, so it’s hard to be too mad at them despite their incessant laughter for too long.■Clothing: Mokkri’s taste, once childish and tasteless, has now become more subdued and refined--to a point. They would like to revert to their old wardrobe, but luckily there are some people with taste in their life.
ㅤPersonalityㅤ ㅤMokkri is both a weaponsmith and a huge coward. They just want to create. Please don’t remind them that their “art” is used to kill. They’re still working through that one.Mokkri hasn’t met many people in their travels as they're usually sequestered away at the forge in Limsa Lominsa, but they’ve rarely met someone they didn’t like, except a nameless Brass Blade or Yellow Jacket or Wood Wailer or two. Or three.Rarely out and about, this impish-yet-shy creature is doing their best to interact with people more these days, though they're not always as successful as they'd like to be.Likes

Hooks
one.
A crafty apprentice.
Mokkri is a sponge when it comes to learning crafts. Currently they’re making a name for themself with perfect-but-basic creations. They can follow the instructions to the letter, but their own creativity leaves more than a bit to be desired. Still, they can be heard claiming that they're going to learn to enchant and make the most beautiful art. At the weaponsmithy.
two.
Allagan Heritage.
Mokkri has one Allagan red eye and those with aether-sight might notice that their aether follows an almost circuit-board pattern as opposed to the natural flowing motion of most other people’s aether. That, and their eye and hair of allagan red might pique some curiosity...
three.
Foreign, & it shows.
Mokkri has a hard time learning new social concepts, and indeed, it’s a wonder if they even ever knew any Sharlayan ones because this particular person more resembles a goblin when they talk to people. Pretty they may be, but once they open their mouth and start rambling, or asking a ton of questions about basic etiquette, one does start to wonder about them.
four.
No binary? No problem!
Mokkri's forays into changing their appearance have been wildly successful, recently switching from loitering with a miqo'te visage to a hyuran one. You know, for fun.Currently, they tend to lurk as a midlander man, but that is honestly up to their whims and skill with changing their face. Don't worry, though, they are extremely flexible with pronouns and respond to just about anything since nothing really fits.
five.
Debutante Disaster
Beginning their social life as a miqo'te woman, and now enjoying time as a midlander man...Mokkri's adopted father--an ex-mercenary who invested all his hard earned blood money into various trades and became a nouveau riche magnate in his own right-- has decreed that if his child is going to prance about indecisively, they are going to learn etiquette and manners for both genders. Their father is now paying handsomely for any person(s) who are willing to put up with his supernaturally willful child and help them learn to function in Societytm.
