Only the one you will love will have the ability to hurt you
such a constellation are you to me
When he shall die
take him and cut him in
And now, born from the ashes, she's a warrior in

Quotes:
"I would have you say that had I been born a Garlean, honour and justice would have ridden at my side and my death was a coin I spent wisely. But I was not born here - so you might say instead that I lived and died with all the fearlessness of my proud and vicious heart."
- spoken to the former Praefectus at Castrum Valnaini, on the date of her formal initial assignment to Dalmasca"There is no greater weapon we can hold than the lies we weave inside their truths."
- Hyacinth to Odine"I punish him only as much as he deserves, but never as much as he desires."
- Hyacinth about Vrev"Every journey should begin with rum."
- Hyacinth to Yunio"He can't run from me. There is nowhere on this star, where I won't find him."
- Hyacinth, to and about Valentine"It would not be wise, Lord Praetor, to threaten Lady wir Celsus' children. As a sharp sword within a soft sheath .... that is a mother's love."
- reported by Odine, whilst assigned to the Praetor's service"Didn't you know? Misery tastes beautiful."
- Hyacinth to Jinn
Hooks and Miscellany
CURRENT DAY:
After many, many moons of jaunts from one capital city to the next - with plenty of little places in between - Hyacinth now makes a more permanent home in Ishgard's Empyreum, where she keeps a library.She and her business partner Momoka have purchased a plot for their augur and apothecary as well, and the brand new establishment, Moon's Rise, is located in the 26th Ward of Mist, house No. 30. While the outer walls and entry way appear finished, the rest of the building reveals both subtle and blatant hints of renovation. The building's previous occupants hosted a bed and breakfast, so there is unfortunately quite a lot of work to be done for Momoka's greenhouse and Hyacinth's observatory. In the meantime, Hyacinth performs readings by appointment in her own rooms at the front of the burgeoning greenhouse.HOOKS:
Garleans and Dalmascans (Long Term Historical) - both loyal and resistance: If your characters have a history in Garlemald or as a part of their various forces, or is a Dalmascan out of Rabanastre, our characters might have come across each other for any number of reasons. Feel free to ping me and let me know if there's something you're looking for, or if you have any ideas!Viera (Long Term Historical): This does require a backstory tie from at least 100 years ago, but it is possible. Both femme and masc characters can apply, though obviously masc characters have a limited ... use. Heh. But again, we can talk it over!Residents of Ishgard (Current, or Recent Historical): Anyone frequenting The Forgotten Knight has certainly seen Hyacinth taking her meals here, and Astrologians might be familiar with her from her (admittedly rare) comings and goings from their halls - as might be anyone seeking a reading from a neutral party in the city. Now that she's actually put down roots, she is also beginning to pay a bit more attention to local needs ... and politics.Tavern, Inn, Spa, Coffehouse-goers (Short Term Historical and Current): Hyacinth is a gal out on the town, and in any and all cities and towns. Want a pleasantly rude, deliciously cynical drinking companion? Need someone to flirt shamelessly at, or with, or around? Enjoy wine tastings? Similarly lacking in a permanent personal residence, and so forever staying at Inns? It's excessively likely Hyacinth has been in the same place at the same time.Travel Companions (Current): Just want to flit around, taking in sights and sounds and snacks (of both literal and figurative varieties), but you'd prefer not to be alone while you go? Hyacinth will go anywhere, and not just places that are 'within reason.' She might even get you into trouble - both good and badbetter.Oracle Seekers (Current): Slowly and quietly, Hyacinth has been building a reputation in most major cities as a fairly skilled oracle. Her services are available for booking, and on a sliding scale based in part on the requested reading as well as how far she must travel, or if the client provides a location. As a note - I, the player, can do actual oracle readings, if requested for 'real' gil in payment because I am a broke sprout. But I can also simply RP a reading without the use of my IRL decks. RP is free! ^^ERRATTA:

ABOUT MEHello!Thank you, if you made it this far, for your time and interest!To tell you a little about me:
- I am definitely over 21
- I am Enby, use she & they pronouns, am a PoC, and am neurodivergent
- I am a PhD student (in Psych) with a completely whack-a-doo schedule and unpredictable workload
- I am completely new to FFXIV but a long-time RPer in WoW as well as LARP and tabletop
- I am based on Brynhildr but will travel
- I prefer para/multi-para RP, but appreciate the occasional appropriateness of a single line or two
- I maintain that mental and physical wellness is vastly more important than game, and so have a low/no pressure, "take time for yourself when you need it" approach, especially with discord RP - so you (or I!) may be slow at times, and this should be OK with both of us
- I prefer RPing in smaller groups or 1-on-1
- I am fine with both in game RP and Discord RP, though in game chat I prefer 2-3 line RP to keep the pace going
- I have trouble seeing tells and walk-ups when I'm in game! If I don't respond to an OOC tell, just try again, heh. And it's best OOC arrange a time to RP with me, to be honest. I do not tend to do walk-ups on my own, unless they are 1-on-1.I am looking for:
- 18+ and mature RPers.
- dark, dramatic, angsty, emo RP.
- long term RP
- storylines | random adventuring IC | slice of life
- ERP: this character is available for mature, NSFW roleplay, but requires OOC and at least some IC discussion beforehand. If you are interested in this, please check out my F-lists first! I reserve the right to refuse ERP requests for any reason. Please be respectful and mature, and I will return the courtesy.I am OK with:
- character injury, with prior consent
- character alteration, with prior consent
- mature (SFW) content, with prior consent
- 'family' connections, with discussion
- romance, with appropriate RP and chemistry leading up (and consent)
