Pronounced "Sin," though Rook is perfectly fine too. I've gone by both my own names and my characters names over the years, so either feels natural.
I'm primarily here for FFXIV roleplay, and that's what you'll usually find on this blog. Expect a mix of RP, stories, occasional OOC rambling, book recommendations, screenshots, and the odd aesthetic post.
ROOK & CROSS CARRD
#Xiv R&C Stories - my writing / stories
#r&c media - gpose, art, music
#r&c aesthetics - esthetics
#qna-4-rnc - any prompts, asks, starters etc.
#ooc - is of course ooc and spoilers will have the current content expansion name tagged
I play XIV completely vanilla. No mods on my end, though no judgment if you use them. You'll have to use your imagination or read my OCs carrd descriptions to gauge what they truly look like.
Currently Looking For:
• RP contacts and friends. Including tumblr interactions.
• One long term writing partner if the right story and friendship develop naturally.
• Artists with open commissions and an established portfolio.
Commission Status: Currently working with one artist and sitting on another's waitlist, but I'm always happy to discover artists for future projects.
More About Me / This Blog:
I'm in absolutely no rush. Ever. Not with art. Not with RP development.
I'd much rather let stories and friendships develop naturally than try to force chemistry.
Outside of roleplay you'll usually find me grinding combat jobs, running FATEs, or quietly working toward another goal I've inevitably given myself.
A Small Request:
I live with an ongoing health condition, so replies can occasionally take longer than I'd like. Sometimes life means appointments. Sometimes it means rough days. I can get busy with volunteer work. What it doesn't mean is being ignored.
I've worked hard over the years to communicate when I need time instead of simply disappearing, and I appreciate the same courtesy from others.
Writing:
I'm an older roleplayer. I'm happy writing with anyone 18+, though there's a good chance I'm old enough to remember parts of the internet some of you only hear stories about.
That has never been a problem in itself, but it can naturally create different expectations and communication styles. Patience, communication, and mutual respect go a very long way with me.
I enjoy slower, story driven roleplay. Character growth. Long conversations. Consequences.
The little moments between the big ones.
Rook isn't a Warrior of Light, a chosen hero, or someone destined to save the world. Neither is Cross. They're just "guys". While I am happy to interact in small ways with those who have WoL's on tumblr I do not actively carry on RP with them as it can be quite conflicting to a more "casual" approach to life in Eorzea. Big supporter of you do you though.
Contact:
In Game: Rook Mercer (Mateus) Cade Cross (Mateus) but Cross is heavily Discord oriented for RP. Reaching out here first is always welcome.
Discord: Ask first.
ANON: Always on.
There's probably another page or two of rules, preferences, genres, and boundaries I could write here.
Truthfully, I'd rather talk about those naturally if we're considering writing together.
This is an LGBT+ safe space. Everyone is welcome here.

I've been remodeling the Fireside again. It's still a bit of a WIP and I need more of @gatheredfates's input. But I like how it's coming along enough to share with you lovely folk. More updates to come as everything is still subject to change!~

Interest Check in a Crystal DC based FFXIV RP/Community Discord?
In my hunger for interaction and wanting to get back into RP in FFXIV, I've come up short on a true 'RP/community finder' style Discord community, for FCs, other groups in and out of game, 1x1 RP, open world RP, and so on. Maybe even would have a section for GPosers to open commissions in if there's demand for it outside of the existing GPose communities. Would be 18+ because there'll be dedicated opt-in channels for NSFW/adult RP and communities because they deserve a place to call home too!
Anyway, I'm doing an 'official' interest check now. If anyone wants to help run it, or wants to give me a hand in orchestrating what is probably a big task, hit me up!
If you're even vaguely interested, a reblog and a like would go a LONG way to helping me out!
(Side note: I have a neglected FFXIV RP sideblog at landshorizon, I'm revamping it right now with new OCs and hoping to launch this just after the revamp! For now I'm posting on my main/multifandom just cause it's easier to keep track of for me.)
