The Unusual Tales Of An Ishgardian Seamstress

Name: Aryele Mason Age: 21 Race: Hyur Midlander Gender: Female Sexuality: Bisexual, female leaning. Martial Status: Single. Writing Sample: N/A for this character (It’s all old WoW stuff!). Some of my other writing, though, can be found here. 

Hair: White-blonde, wavy hair that falls mid-way down her back; loosely kept. Bangs that fall across the left side of her face, often tucked behind her ear. Eyes: Mint green. Height: 5′1. Build: Lithe, dainty and refined. Distinguishing marks: When not clothed in heavy layers due to Ishgard’s bitter cold, one might notice a myriad of scars adorning almost every portion of Ary’s skin. They do not appear to be self-inflicted. If commented on, the girl will oftentimes become shy and attempt to change the subject. Common Accessories: A handkerchief, a little book and a pen.

She is also a part-time medic, though this is much lesser-known. Hobbies: Reading, writing, sewing — simple, ladylike past times. Adventuring. Languages: Common. Residence: Ishgard. Birthplace: Ishgard. Religion: Halone, the Fury. Though they have a tentative relationship.

Spouse: N/A. There were rumours of her flittering around a heretic during the Dragonsong War, but much of the hard proof has been covered up. Children: N/A Parents: Deceased. Siblings/Other Relatives: N/A.

BRIEF HISTORY/RP HOOKS:

Born to a lower-middle-class, merchant family in amongst the hierarchal control of the Ishgardian houses, it was Ary’s parents’ fervent hope that she might elevate herself ( and them, by proxy ) out of the near-poverty that had them linger on the fringes of the Brume and into the opulence of the high houses. From a young age, the child was tutored in the ways of deportment and taste — gaining skills useful for both a husband and a house proper. Though she flourished under such instruction, and her obvious beauty and gentle nature could not be denied, she did not find herself so easily swayed into the path that had been forged for her.

When she was sixteen and accepted as a ward under one of Ishgard’s lower houses, Ary met a young woman when travelling through the Brume that all-but enchanted her. Bonding first as friends in secret, her new companion would often take her to the fringes of Ishgard, talking excitedly about the things that lay beyond the city and what adventures they could have if they were not bound to their mutual duties. As enticing as the ideas were, Ary was relucted to take her up on the offer because of her obligations; of which she’d lament when they were alone.

What she didn’t know, however, was her companion was not a citizen of Ishgard proper. She was a betrayer, a heretic; one who’s own duty was to try and penetrate the houses by whatever means necessary to leverage power away from the hierarchy. Foolishly, however, her attachment to Ary compromised both women and, when they were found out, they were torn away from each other. Disgraced, Ary was shuffled off to an equally disparaged house while her companion was taken to the Holy See for condemnation.

Ary would later learn she escaped, only to die in a later feud during the Dragonsong War.

These days, Aryele works under Alaice Devereaux with much of her past actions excused or forgotten in the aftermath of the war. However, it is not enough for her to gain full acceptance back into the houses; nor does she believe she really wants to be a part of them. Though content to support her current mistress in whatever duties she should see fit, both she and Alaice are aware ( at least on the surface ) that it is unlikely to be a permanent arrangement.

Your character is Ishgardian: This hook is pretty self-explanatory, I think! Aryele has lived in Ishgard her whole life and has kind of ebbed between the upper and lower houses. Whether your character knows the rumours behind her is up to you.

Your character is a heretic: There is a good chance that Aryele’s companion would have introduced her to various heretic members in secret — especially if she hid their true identities. As someone who was sympathetic to both sides, she would not have deliberately betrayed them.

Other: Come chat with me about your ideas – I don’t bite. (: I used to play Aryele a lot back in World of Warcraft, but I semi-retired her after I quit the game for lack of ideas. She’s my oldest character, so I always have muse for her!

SOME IMPORTANT THINGS TO NOTE: I’m Australian (GMT+8), meaning prime time EU/US is late at night/early morning for me — think 2am to 12pm. Whilst I can stay up/wake up for certain events/rp, I also work four days a week. This might change in June when my contract finishes, but right now I only have weekends and Wednesdays off. I will not be able to make a lot of RP events. However, I do write over Discord, so feel free to ask for that!

Contact: You can find me on Balmung under my main, Ashley Hawke, on Aryele herself (IGN: Aryele Mason on Malboro), tumblr IM or you can ask for my discord!

CHILDHOOD. Born to a Sea Wolf father and Duskwight mother, much of Thorstyr’s youth was spent in the wake of those who were either or. He learned early on that everyone would have an opinion, and people rarely changed their first impressions. He grew up tough, strong, fearless. He wept when his parents died. Somewhere along the way he gained a reputation for being somewhat of a scoundrel, but his heart was always in the right place.

Proud pirate parents, unasahmed of their syn, raised between the sky and sea, parents died in a storm.

ADULT LIFE. Thorstyr has traveled these seven years since his parent’s deaths, making his way doing what jobs he could. While the pirating life was never what he sought for himself, it was all he knew and all he had skill for to fall back on. For many years he held the company of a woman who ultimately betrayed him and cost him what little he had. In recent years he ceased his endless travels in exchange for an attempt at long-term employment and another romance, neither of which succeeded, and thus he’d disappeared for some time. Only recently has he resurfaced, wandering in to an old acquaintances bar, The Rusty Spur, in hopes of resting awhile.

Thorstyr is really not interested in any sort of relationship at this time. Should he ever become interested again it would be a long road traveled and a hard war won against his better judgement. He’s worse than Red, and Red lost his wife and son in a brutal way. So don’t come after him for rp just to ship if that’s what you’re wanting.

MISCELLANEOUS. hobbies to pass the time. tinkering as mechanics often do, boxing, weapon maintenance, reading, occasional writing, sailing, jobs. mental illness. None physical illness.

RP HOOKS.

Smuggles people, drugs, artifacts and just about anything for a price.

actually, the best hook? Pay him and he’ll likely do the job, with some exceptions

Scythe-4-Hire. more of a personal guard/private security than a group type, though if the price is right

Mechanic. need it fixed? he can do it and if he can’t he’ll bang on it till it works then act like he knew it’d fix it all along

Open to plotting.

OOC.

I am 30+. I like most types of RP. Don’t kill or maim Thor without permission. He is littered with scars, so if I forget to add it in rp, imagine a man who’s been beaten, stabbed, shot and attacked by sharks and you’ll have a vague idea as to how scarred his body is.

- My other character is Red Cobra.
